Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in the present specification will be described. The term "entry" includes not only winnings where the winning balls are paid out, but also passing to "through chuckers" where there is no winning balls paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as it can identify the type of information through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but preferably it is visual, eg, numbers, letters, symbols And the like. In addition, in the present specification, "identification information" may be referred to as a main gaming symbol / special symbol (special drawing) or a decorative symbol (graphic drawing), but "special symbol (special drawing)" is a main control board It is identification information whose display is controlled on the side, and "decorative symbol (dressing)" is identification information as an effect displayed on the side of the sub control board. “Identifiable information can be displayed” is not limited to any display method. For example, light emission of light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7 segments) (including not only the presence or absence of light but also the difference in color), physical Display (for example, stop display of a symbol drawn on a reel band at a predetermined position) and the like can be mentioned. "Effect" refers to display content that enhances the interest of a game, and includes, for example, identification information change, stop, notice, etc., moving images and pictures such as animations and live-actions, still images such as pictures, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. The "opened state, open state" and "closed state, closed state" are, for example, open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = no prize in the configuration of a general large winning opening (so-called, attacker). It will be easy. Also, for example, a state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an advanced state) projected from the game board (the player side) and a state (hereinafter referred to as the retracted state) retracted into the game board (opposite to the player side) In a configuration (so-called Vero type attacker) capable of taking the above condition, the advancing state = the winning easy state, and the retreating state = the winning non-easiness state. The "random number" is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko gaming machine, and includes pseudo random numbers in addition to narrow random numbers (for example, hard as random numbers Random number, soft random number as pseudo random number). For example, the so-called "basic random number" affecting the outcome of the game, specifically, "winning random number (random number for winning lottery)" associated with the transition of the special game, the variation pattern (or variation time) of the identification symbol is determined "Variation mode decision random number" for doing, "symbol decision random number" which decides stop pattern, and "per hit symbol decision random number" which decides whether or not to shift to specific game (for example probability fluctuation game) after special game be able to. When determining the content of the variation mode or the content of the fixed identification information, it is not necessary to use all these random numbers, and at least one random number which is the same as or different from each other may be used. In addition, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but once in the entrance (for example, starting entrance) which is a trigger for acquiring random numbers. The random number acquired by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a bundle of random numbers such as a winning random number + a variation mode determination random number + a symbol determination random number ... is referred to as a single random number) . Also, for example, one type of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also be another type of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “gaming state” is, for example, a special gaming state in which the special winning opening can be opened, a transition to the special gaming state, a transition to the special gaming state from a non-probability fluctuation gaming state where the lottery probability is a predetermined value. Transition game state with high lottery probability, transition to special game Auxiliary game state with assistance for winning to start slot that becomes transition lottery to special game (so-called, normal symbol time reduction state, for example, variable members are attached to the start slot In the case, the open period of the variable member is long, the open winning probability of the variable member is high, the notification time of the result of the open lottery of the variable member is short, and so on. The “expected average execution time of easily enterable ball games per unit time” assumes a situation in which the symbol variation of the auxiliary gaming symbol is performed continuously (for example, the condition in which the suspension relating to the auxiliary gaming symbol always exists) In this case, it means the ratio of the open period per unit time (for example, 5 minutes) of the variable member attached to the starting opening, but in terms of internal processing, in other words, based on the gaming state mentioned above, When the variable member is attached to the starting opening, long and short of the open period of the variable member (so-called open extension function operation state / non-operation state), winning of the ordinary symbol (auxiliary game symbol) that triggers the opening of the variable member Probability high and low (so-called flat figure high probability state · low probability state), long and short variation time of the normal symbol (auxiliary game pattern) that triggers opening of the variable member (so-called flat figure fluctuation shortening function Operating condition-actuated state), is realized by any one or more combinations of the like. The “average value of the fluctuation display period of the identification information” is not limited to the meaning of measuring the fluctuation display period every fluctuation display of the identification information and taking an average value based on the actually measured value. More specifically, in the case where the variable display period is configured to be determined for each variable display of identification information, there are a plurality of types of variable display period candidates to be determined (selected). Although the expected value (sum of “selection probability × variation display period”) based on the plurality of types of fluctuation display periods is obtained, if there is one type of the variation display period candidate to be selected, one type The variable display period itself of (ie, it includes both concepts). Furthermore, the concept limited to only the average value of the fluctuation display period of identification information at the time of losing, or the concept restricted to only the average value of the fluctuation display period of identification information at the time of hitting, or only the fluctuation display period having the highest selection probability It should be added that the meaning of this wording is to use it as an index that indicates the progressing speed of the game that the player can feel, so that the meaning of the term “variation display period of the identification information As a method of realizing the “average value” different, the candidate of the variable display period and / or the selection probability are made different, or even if the candidate of the variable display period and / or the selection probability is the same, a further variable display period is added There are various methods such as changing the period value at the time of performing, but the method is not limited to any one). “The first variation period state in which the average value of the variation display period of the identification information is the first period, and the second period in which the average value of the variation display periods of the identification information is different from the first period "Having at least a fluctuation period state" means not only the two states concerned but also three or more states (or any two states in the case of having three or more states) For example, according to the number of times of display of variation of identification information, “first variation period state” → “second variation period state” → “third variation period state” It also includes those that can be taken. In this case, when the average value of the fluctuation display periods of the identification information in each state is configured to be “first fluctuation period state” <“second fluctuation period state” <“third fluctuation period state”, State transition of high-speed game progress state → medium-speed game progress state → low-speed game progress state can be constructed {Of course, the reverse state transition (game progress state) may be constructed, In that case, it becomes suitable when combined with the probability fluctuation gaming state + electric chow opening easy state which continues until the next big hit (in spite of the situation that the next big hit occurrence is definite, the next big hit can not be obtained As the situation continues, the progressing speed of the game will be improved, so it may be possible to eliminate the feeling of fatigue at the so-called cheating time. Furthermore, as a feature of each state, in the “first fluctuation period state”, the difference between the average value of the fluctuation display period of identification information at the time of losing and the average value of the fluctuation display period of identification information at the time of hitting In the “third fluctuation period state”, which is smaller than the difference in the “second fluctuation period state”, an average value of fluctuation display periods of identification information at the time of losing and an average value of fluctuation display periods of identification information at hitting In addition to the difference being smaller than the difference in the “second fluctuation period state”, the fluctuation display period of the identification information at the time of losing is particularly likely to be relatively long compared to the “first fluctuation period state” In other words, in the “second fluctuation period state”, the fluctuation display period of identification information at the time of hitting is relatively long particularly in the “second fluctuation period state” compared to other states. (I.e., the short display of fluctuation with a definite loss) The display of a fluctuation of a short display with a loss or the display of a display with a middle fluctuation that suggests a hit is not selected (or not selected), but the fluctuation of reach fluctuation (per long fluctuation) It can be exemplified that the feature is selected (or easily selected) only during the display period. The "specific period in the high probability lottery state after the end of the special game execution" may be a period immediately after the end of the special game execution until the symbol variation for a predetermined number of times is made, or the special game It may be a period until the symbol variation is made a predetermined number of times after one or more symbol variations are made after the end of the execution (ie, the high probability lottery state is maintained after the completion of the special game execution) If it is within the range, it means that it is an arbitrary period within that range, therefore, the above-mentioned "first fluctuation period state"-> "second fluctuation period state"-> "third fluctuation period state" When the state transition with can be taken, the specific period may mean the staying period of the “first variation period state” and / or the “second variation period state”. "When the predetermined condition is satisfied in the information about the hold" means that there is a high possibility that a special game (so-called big hit game) will occur at the time of the holding process, for example, but the special game may occur There is no particular limitation on the judgment criteria. More specifically, "winning random number (random number for winning lottery)", "variation mode determination random number" for determining the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol, "symbol determination random number" for determining the stop pattern, It is also possible to use a random number value such as "per symbol design random number" to decide whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability fluctuation game) after a special game, or an event content derived from these random values The length of fluctuation time, the type of stop symbol, whether to shift to a specific game, etc.) may be used as the judgment standard. In the case of suggesting or announcing the existence of the hold, for example, it is performed in conjunction with the effect (the pattern variation mode of the decorative symbol, or the like during the holding digestion until the hold is reached). Background information etc) can be changed, and when reporting, for example, the display mode of the suspension indicator light (may be an image on the liquid crystal display device) at the time of the suspension occurrence (In this case, change the display color, change the display shape, etc.), change the sound such as the hold occurrence sound or BGM at the hold occurrence time, the lamp for effect at the hold occurrence time Execution mode of other effects (pattern variation mode of decorative symbol, background effect performed in conjunction with it, etc.) being executed at the time of the hold occurrence, changing the lighting mode of (frame lamp etc.) The To reduction, and the like.

  The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed (type 1 first type compound machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is within the scope when applied to other gaming machines (eg, conventional pachinko gaming machines such as conventional type 1, type 2, type 3 and general electronic combination). . Note that the present embodiment is merely an example, and relates to the order of each step regarding various processes such as the location and function of each means, the on / off timing of the flag, and the means name etc. It is not limited to the following aspects. In addition, the embodiments and modifications described above should not be construed as limiting as applied to specific ones, and may be any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification of one embodiment is a modification of another embodiment, and even if one modification and another modification are independently described, It should be understood that a combination of the modification and the other modification is also described. Further, in the present embodiment, there are a lottery table and a reference table regarding various tables, but these are not limited, and the lottery table may be a reference table or vice versa. Further, in the present example, the “table” is not limited to the format, and one or more selection candidates are selected from a plurality of selection candidates based on one or more pieces of information. It should be understood that it is an aspect that is associated. Furthermore, numerical values as specific examples shown in the following embodiments and modifications {e.g. winning probability at the time of lottery execution, maximum number of rounds at special game, symbol fluctuation time, number of continuations in each gaming state, etc.} This is merely an example, and in particular, different conditions (for example, the conditions of the first main game side and the second main game side, the conditions of the probability change game and the non-probability change game, time reduction game and the non-probability change game) It is understood that the size relationship and combination of the numerical values shown in the conditions for the time reduction game, etc. may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the following embodiments and modifications. Should. For example, on the first main game side and the second main game side, the winning probability at the time of lottery execution and the magnitude relationship in the expected value of the maximum round number at the special game time are: first main game side = second main game side Even if it is illustrated as such, the magnitude relationship may be appropriately changed such that the first main game side <the second main game side, or the first main game side> the second main game side. Good (other figures, same for conditions). Also, for example, when configuring as the number of continuations of the probability variation gaming state based on the purport of continuing until the next big hit occurs, does “65535” be set as the number of continuations (constructed so as to be substantially continued), Alternatively, even in the option of the realization method based on the same purpose of maintaining the probability fluctuation gaming state until the next big hit occurs without setting the number of continuations, it does not greatly deviate from the spirit of the following embodiments and modifications. It should be understood that it may be changed as appropriate.

If Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the contents of the RAM on the side of the main control board M (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB). Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at that timing) The command may be set at this timing and may be transmitted in a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1700. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, it is stored in the checksum and RAM area recorded at the time of power interruption) Compare with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether the content of the RAM is not normal (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is correctly backed up in the RAM) based on the check result. If Yes in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to the process of step 1004 (the above-described RAM clear process). On the other hand, if the result of step 1010 is NO, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM of the main control board M in step 1012.

  If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230 and step 1242, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1300).

  Moreover, in this flowchart, after the stop symbol display in step 1226 for convenience, although it transfers to the following step immediately after, it is not limited to this. In that case, the process may be configured to shift to the next process after the stop display fixed time of about 500 ms (for example, this process is performed by performing the branch process using the stop display fixed flag and the timer). Is achievable).

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first main game start slot entrance ball determining means MJ11-A is the first main game start slot entrance detection device A11s of the first main game start slot A10, and the first main game start slot entrance information Is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-A refers to the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-A, and the main game (especially the first main game Side) determines whether the holding ball for the side is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-A acquires a first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as a first main game content determination random number, a lottery random number for determining success or failure, a symbol lottery random number for determining a symbol when hit, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. Three random numbers of variation mode lottery random number to be acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update cycles and random number ranges, respectively, and are obtained sequentially at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ 32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32b-A. . Next, in step 1310, the hold control means MJ 30 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether the special game execution flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1310, the hold control means MJ 30 determines in step 1312 whether or not the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b is off. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the holding control means MJ 30 determines in advance the result and the stop symbol relating to the stored holding based on the holding information (the winning random number and the symbol determination random number). Next, at step 1316, the hold control means MJ30 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting the command regarding the newly generated hold yes / no result and the stop symbol information to the sub main control unit SM (step It is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of 1999), and the process shifts to step 1318.

  Next, in step 1318, the suspension control means MJ30, based on the suspension information (random number for variation mode determination), the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group (non-short time variation mode group and time variation mode) It is determined in advance (for the variation mode random number division information and the variation mode group, refer to the main gaming table 3 and the limited frequency table in FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 15). In the present embodiment, one variation mode group is configured to include a plurality of types of variation modes (variation times). Next, in step 1320, the hold control means MJ30 executes a command (a hold generation command of the first main game content determination random number, a command related to the variation mode random number division information, etc.) related to the new hold generation, the sub main control unit SM. To the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to (to be transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of step 1999), and proceeds to step 1322. In addition, when it is comprised so that symbol information may be transmitted to a sub side like this embodiment, the production which suggests a big hit may be performed as a production performed by a sub side, and when it is set as such composition, It is desirable to be able to notify the player of the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol to be the big hit (informing the stop symbol only when the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol is a big hit). Also, in the case of No in step 1302, step 1304, step 1310 or step 1312, the processing shifts to step 1322.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the main game content determination random number (the first main game content determination random number or the second main game content determination random number) is acquired (or when the hold occurs), the fluctuation mode random number division information, the fluctuation mode group Are configured to determine

  It should be noted that the main game content determination random number information, the pass / fail random number delimiter information, the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group information may be transmitted to the sub side at the timing when the hold occurs, but further, the sub side Information to be sent to is not limited to this, information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, information related to the profit mode of the main game symbol to be a big hit (the number of rounds of special games according to the main game symbol to be stopped, etc. ), The number of reservations immediately after the holding winnings (only the number of holdings on the first main gaming side or the second main gaming side that has won the prize, or the number of holdings on both the first main gaming side and the second main gaming side may be used) May be configured to be able to transmit information pertaining to, etc. {Convenient random number division information refers to the respective gaming states on the first main game side (second main game side) and random value (or random value range) And the success and failure lottery results, and grouping It is one of the random number division information, for example, a probability change gaming state, a non-probability change gaming state, a loss, a probability change gaming state or a non-probability change gaming state, hit, probability If it is a fluctuation gaming state, it is a hit, but if it is a non-probability fluctuation gaming state, a grouping such as a loss can be mentioned}.

  Next, in step 1322, the second main game start slot entrance ball determining means MJ11-B is operated from the second main game start slot entrance detector B11s of the second main game start slot B10. It is determined whether the information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1322, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-B refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-B in step 1324, and the main game (especially the second main game Side) determines whether the holding ball for the side is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). In the case of Yes in step 1324, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-B acquires a second main game content determination random number in step 1326. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, similarly to the first main game symbol determination means, three random numbers of a winning lottery random number, a symbol lottery random number, and a variation aspect lottery random number are acquired. By the way, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the lottery random number for the first main game and the lottery random number for the second main game Acquisition range of) is set to the same. Next, in step 1328, the second main game symbol holding means MJ 32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-B. . Next, in step 1330, the hold control means MJ 30 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether the special game execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1330, in step 1334, the suspension control means MJ 30 determines in advance the result and the symbol of suspension regarding the stored suspension based on the suspension information (the lottery random number and the symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1336, the hold control means MJ30 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting the command regarding the newly generated hold yes / no result and the stop symbol information to the sub main control unit SM (step It is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of 1999), and the process shifts to step 1338.

  In the case of No at step 1330, the hold control means MJ30 determines at step 1332 whether or not the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b is off. In the case of Yes in step 1332, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1400). On the other hand, if No in step 1332, the process moves to step 1334.

  Next, in step 1338, the suspension control means MJ30, based on the suspension information (random number for variation mode determination), stores the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group (non-short time variation mode group and time variation mode) The group) is determined in advance (for the variation mode random number division information and the variation mode group, refer to the main game table 3 and the limited frequency table in FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 15). Next, in step 1340, the hold control means MJ 30 executes a command related to the new hold generation (a hold generation command of the second main game content determination random number, a command related to the variation mode random number division information, etc.) To the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to (to be transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of step 1999), and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1400). Also in the case of No in step 1322 or step 1324, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1400).

  Incidentally, although storage of the first main game content determination random number and storage of the second main game content determination random number are executed in steps 1308 and 1328, the main game content determination random number is stored in the storage area of the RAM of the main control board. In the case of storing a memory, a dedicated storage area is secured, and only information related to the "main game content determination random number" is stored in the byte storing the information related to the main game content determination random number (various timers It is preferable to configure so as not to store other information such as a value (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, the information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise etc. To prevent it). In addition, with regard to the lottery random number, the change in the gaming state (the gaming state relating to the suspension recorded already) is obtained during the period from when the lottery random number is obtained to when the lottery for the Not only the change but also a change in the gaming state may occur due to the newly generated suspension, so the gaming state at the time of the execution of the lottery for the lottery random number may be unpredictable. It is comprised so that the said lottery random number may be memorize | stored until it performs. In this embodiment, in the non-time shortening gaming state, the command to the sub main control unit SM related to the information on suspension can be transmitted only at the time of holding occurrence according to the first main game, but in the time shortening gaming state Although it was configured to be able to transmit only at the hold occurrence according to the second main game, regardless of which gaming state is the hold related to the first main game or the hold related to the second main game The command may be configured to be transmitted, and in such a case, the sub main control unit SM may be configured to determine whether to use the received command. In addition, a specific example of the command related to the pass / fail result information to be sent to the sub main control unit SM is “D000H: Missing, D001H: Missing with low confidence, Hit with high confidence, D002H: Hit with both low confidence and high confidence, D003H : A small hit, and a specific example of a command related to stop symbol information to be sent to the sub main control unit SM is "D100H: 16R per variation, D101H: 16R non per variation, D102H: 2R per variation", sub A specific example of the command related to the variation mode random number division information to be transmitted to the main control unit SM is “D 200 H: division 1 (group 1 if time reduction gaming state, group 1 if non-time reduction gaming state, group 1 if limited frequency state) , D201H: break 2 (group 1 if time reduction gaming state, group 2 if non-time reduction gaming state, group G if limited frequency state -Loop 1), D202H: has separated 3 (time saving game state if Group 2, Group 2 for non-time reduction gaming state, group 1 if limited frequency state).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, at step 1401, the reserve / termination control means MJ 31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32 b -B to check whether or not there is a second main game symbol hold. If Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and the next process {the process of steps 1400 (1) and (2)} Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process described later in step 1400 (2), and the next process {of steps 1400 (1) and (2). Transfer to processing}.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning sequence is the first main game symbol) The second main game symbol is configured to be prioritized and executed, but it is not limited to this. May be configured to execute a parallel lottery that randomly draws).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this processing is substantially the same processing on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Write in parentheses. First, in step 1403, the reserve / termination control unit MJ 31 determines whether or not a change start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is not during special game (or during operation of the condition device), and is not during main game symbol fluctuation, and there is a condition that there is a hold of the main game symbol. In addition, although not illustrated in this example, when the fluctuation fixed time (time to stop and display the finalized display symbol after the final display of the main gaming symbol) is provided, the fluctuation start condition of the next fluctuation during the fluctuation fixed time May not be satisfied.

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, in step 1405 and step 1406, the holding and digesting control means MJ 31 sends the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b -A (the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-B) While reading out the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the present symbol variation temporarily stored, the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-A (second main game The symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-B) is deleted, and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding and digesting process). Next, in step 1410-1, the lottery means MN10 refers to the first main gaming coin lottery table MN11ta-A (the second main gaming coin lottery MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. [1] Based on the main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (in particular, a winning lottery random number), a main gaming symbol acceptance lottery is executed.

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

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

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, "4A, 5A, 7A" and "4B, 5B, 7B") are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a big hit symbol. The number of special game rounds determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, and 16R for 7A, 7B. The random number value and the type of stop symbol are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the lost symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. May}.

  Next, in step 1411, the limited frequency change mode determining means MN 52 refers to the limited frequency counter MN 52c and determines whether the counter value is 0 or not. In the case of Yes in step 1411, in other words, in the normal gaming state (non-probability fluctuation / non-time shortening gaming state), in step 1412, the first main game fluctuation mode determination means MN51-A (second main game fluctuation The mode determining means MN51-B) refers to the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state, and the main game symbol Determine the variation pattern of the main game symbols based on the result of the lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (the second main game content determination random number) (especially, the fluctuation mode lottery random number) It temporarily stores in the symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is an example of a first main game change mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (a second main game change mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern (variation time) of the main gaming symbol with respect to a random number can be determined based on the main gaming symbol short result status and the main gaming time short flag status of the main gaming symbol. It is done. For example, with regard to a random number value, when the main lottery is a winning or losing lottery result, it is easy to determine the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively long, when the main game time short flag is on (time reduction game In the state (1), a variation mode in which the variation time is relatively short is easily determined. Note that this example is just an example and is not limited at all to the type of the variation mode (variation time) or the selectivity. In addition, the symbol variation time of the first main game may be relatively long in the time shortening gaming state (when the main game short flag is on) {symbol variation on the second main game When it is configured to be advantageous for the player to be executed, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by lowering the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (as it is advantageous for the player) In order to construct a situation, it is particularly effective when the starting opening on the first main game side and the starting opening on the second main game side can not be separated.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1411, in other words, in the probability variation gaming state, in step 1450, the limited frequency variation mode determination means MN 52 executes limited frequency variation mode determination processing described later. Next, at step 1413, the limited frequency change mode determining means MN 52 subtracts 1 from the count value of the limited frequency counter MN 52c (decrement), and proceeds to step 1414. Further, the processing of step 1413 may be configured to be executed immediately after the determination of Yes in step 1420 (at the timing when the variation time ends).

  Next, in step 1414, the game content determination means MN is a command related to the main game symbol temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C (stop symbol information, attribute information of stop symbol) , Change mode information etc.) and command (symbol change display start instruction command) related to the current gaming state are set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side (control command transmission processing of step 1999) To the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1415, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C set the predetermined time relating to the change time of the main game symbol to the first and second main game symbol change management timer MP11t-C. Do. Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display portion A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). On the second main game symbol display portion B21g), the variable display of the main game symbol is started according to the change mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Next, in step 1417, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn on the fluctuating flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, Control is passed to step 1420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C and changes. It is determined whether the medium flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420, and in the case of No in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550).

  Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the change time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C send information (design confirmation display instruction command) indicating that symbol variation is finished to the sub main control unit SM side The command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission is set (sent to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of step 1999). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display portion A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). The variation display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display section B21g) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C is displayed as the fixed stop symbol Control. Next, in step 1424, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn off the fluctuating flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. .

  Next, in step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. Do. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1431, the game content determination means MN sets a predetermined number of times (181 in this example) in the limit frequency counter. In this example, after the special game according to all the big hit symbols is finished, it is configured to shift to the specific gaming state (processing of the probability fluctuation gaming state with number of times limited and processing of time shortening gaming state). Next, in step 1440, the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device activation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1430, the process proceeds to step 1500.

  Next, in step 1500, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process described later. Next, in step 1750, the specific game control means MP50 executes a limited frequency transmission control process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1550). Also in the case of No at step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the limited frequency change mode determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN 52 refers to the limited frequency counter MN 52 c to determine whether the counter value G is a value within the first step range (181 ≧ G> 121). . In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the limitation frequency variation mode determination means MN 52 refers to the first lottery table MN 52 ta-1 for determination of limitation frequency variation mode, and based on the main gaming side random number and the result of the winning lottery The variation mode (variation time) according to the symbol is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1413).

  Here, FIG. 15 (limit frequency table 1) is an example of the limit frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when the limit frequency counter value G is a value within a predetermined range (181 ≧ G> 121), the limit frequency table 1 is referred to. In addition, in the limited frequency state of the present embodiment, the symbol variation on the second main game side is repeated to play the game (the symbol variation on the second main game side is more for the player than the symbol variation on the first main game side) Because the profit rate is high), the fluctuation time of the 1st main game side at the time of losing is relatively long compared to the fluctuation time of the 2nd main game side, and the player Has changed the first main game side by mistake, or when the change related to the remaining suspension of the first main game side occurring at the end of the special game starts, the long time of the first main game side The second main game hold is easily generated during the fluctuation time of. In addition, on the second main game side, the fluctuation time when there is no hold at the time of losing is relatively longer than the fluctuation time when there are one to three with hold, Because it is easy to cause the second main game hold to occur during the fluctuation time in the case of no hold of 0, the change concerning the remaining hold of the first main game side by the inability to cause the second main game hold can start It is configured to make it difficult for an event to happen. In addition, when the limit frequency table 2 and the limit frequency table 3 are compared with the variation time in the case of the second main game side and one to three suspension at the time of the loss, the limit frequency table 1 has the shortest average variation time It is configured. Further, in the limited frequency table 1, all variable groups are group 1 or group A.

  Further, as shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, for a certain random number value, the variation mode random number division information is determined based on the variation mode group to which the random number value belongs. More specifically, the variation mode random number division information is a table of when the first main game side hits (when lost), a table when the second main game side hits (when lost), each short time (non-short time) Provided according to the variation mode group classified by case).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1452, in step 1456, the limited frequency variation mode determination means MN 52 refers to the limited frequency counter MN 52 c, and the counter value G is within the second step range (121 ≧ G> 1). Determine if there is. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN 52 refers to the second lottery table MN 52ta-2 for determining the limited frequency variation mode, and determines the main game side random number, the result of the winning lottery, the holding ball count. Based on it, the variation mode (variation time) related to the main game symbol is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1413).

  Here, FIG. 15 (limit frequency table 2) is an example of the limit frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when the limited frequency counter value G is a value within a predetermined range (121121G> 1), the limited frequency table 2 is referred to. Also in the limited frequency table 2, similarly to the limited frequency table 1, the fluctuation time at the time of the loss on the first main game side is relatively longer than that on the second main game side. Further, in the symbol variation on the second main game side, the variation time at the time of hitting is relatively longer than the variation time at the time of losing. In addition, as compared with the limited frequency table 1 and the limited frequency table 3, the limited frequency table 2 is configured to have the longest average fluctuation time.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1456, in other words, when the limited frequency counter value G is a value within the third step range (1 ≧ G), at step 1460, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN52 With reference to the third lottery table MN52ta-3 for mode determination, the variation mode (variation time) pertaining to the main game symbol is determined based on the main game side random number and the result of the lottery for success or failure, and the next process (the process of step 1413) Transition.

  Here, FIG. 15 (limit frequency table 3) is an example of the limit frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. As shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, the limit frequency table 3 is referred to when the limit frequency counter value G is in a predetermined range (1 ≧ G). In the limited frequency table 3, the shortest fluctuation time at the time of losing is longer than the shortest fluctuation time at the time of hitting. By this configuration, the execution time of the special command described later at the time of losing It is configured to be able to secure.

  The contents of the limited frequency table are not limited to this, and the contents of the limited frequency table to be referred to on the first main game side and the second main game side are only at a predetermined stage (for example, the first stage). It may be configured to be identical. Further, in a predetermined stage (for example, the third stage), the variation mode may be determined regardless of the number of reservations (both on the first main gaming side and the second main gaming side). When not configured as such, the first main game side selects the variation mode from the same table regardless of the number of reservations, and the second main game side holds the number of reservations if the number of reservations is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. It is desirable to configure so as to have a relatively shorter fluctuation time than when the number is less than a predetermined number.

  In the present embodiment, the limitation frequency table is configured to be of three types and configured to be switched in three steps in the order of limitation frequency table 1 → limitation frequency table 2 → limitation frequency table 3 (so-called three-step ST) There is no problem in changing the order of the tables to be referred to, regardless of the type of the limited frequency table. Furthermore, there are two tables of limitation frequency table 1 and limitation frequency table 2, and the table to be referred is switched in the order of limitation frequency table 1 → limitation frequency table 2 → limitation frequency table 1 as a three-step ST mode It is also good.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the probability variation counter MP51c to determine whether the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the count value of the probability variation number counter MP51c. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the probability variation number counter MP51c and determines whether the counter value is 0 or not. If Yes in step 1506, in step 1508, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1510. Also in the case of No in step 1502 or step 1506, the process proceeds to step 1510.

  Next, in step 1510, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the time reduction number counter MP52c to determine whether the counter value is larger than zero. If Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction number counter MP52c by one. Next, at step 1514, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the time reduction number counter MP52c, and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. If Yes in step 1514, in step 1516, the specified game control means MP50 turns off the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specified game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1700. The process proceeds to step 1700 also in the case of No in step 1510 or step 1514. Next, in step 1700, the specific game control means MP50 executes the probability variation short time transmission control process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1750). Thus, in this example, the remaining number of certain variations (the number of remaining symbol variations that will cause the probability variation gaming state to end depending on the number of symbol variation terminations after the end of the special game) and the remaining number of short times (after the special game termination) It is configured to transmit to the sub-control board S the remaining number of symbol variations that will cause the time-saving gaming state to be ended by the symbol variation completion number of. In the present embodiment, the number of probable variations (the value set in the probability variation counter MP51c) and the number of time reductions (the value set in the time reduction counter MP52c) are the same number, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It may be configured to be the number of times.

  Next, FIG. 17 shows the probability variation short-time transmission control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. 5, FIG. 16 and FIG. Before detailed description of the processing in the figure, the instruction sent from the main control board M to the sub control board S in the gaming machine will be described in detail.

  The instruction sent from the main control board M to the sub control board S in the gaming machine is generally composed of 2 bytes of data. One of them is called MODE data and the other is called EVENT data. Since the most significant bit of each is a bit (identifying bit) for identifying whether it is MODE data or EVENT data, the remaining seven bits are substantially used as a data area. Therefore, the instruction to be sent to the sub control board S is limited to the value of 0 to 127, which is 7 bits. However, as a result of diversification of effects in recent years, the effect type may exceed 128 types, and it may be difficult to specify the effect type with data of substantially 7 bits. On the other hand, the type of EVENT data, that is, the type of instruction is specified in MODE data, but since this MODE data is also 7 bits, the number of types is also limited to 128 types, and the number of types is increased indefinitely I can not do it either. Therefore, the value exceeding 128 can be transmitted to the sub control board S by the method described in detail later.

  Here, as the explanation of the flowchart, first, in step 1702, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and the count value of the probability variation counter MP51c is the transmission limit value (127 in this example). It is determined whether or not it is larger than. Here, the transmission limit value is the maximum value of numerical information (remaining number of positive variations, remaining number of shorting times, etc.) that can be transmitted to the sub control board S by one command transmission, and in the present embodiment, 8 bits. Since the most significant bit of these is used to distinguish between MODE data and EVENT data, the numerical information will be transmitted in 7 bits excluding the relevant most significant bit, and the maximum number of numerical values that can be represented by 7 bits Has become 127. The MODE data is data representing the type of command (the number of remaining definite variations, the number of remaining shorts, etc.), and the EVENT data is the content of the command (the number of remaining definite variations, the number of the remaining shorts, etc.) Is data representing

  In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the specific game control means MP 50 sets a command (command to the sub side, in this example, “01H”) of MODE data relating to the remaining number of definite variations (step 1999 of In the control command transmission process, it is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side. Next, in step 1706, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command related to the first EVENT data (a command to the sub side, for example, "10000001") as EVENT data (control command transmission in step 1999) In the process, it is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1708, the specific game control means MP50 sets the command (the command to the sub side, in this example, “01H”) of MODE data relating to the remaining number of definite variations (control command transmission processing of step 1999) At the sub main control unit SM side). The MODE data set in step 1708 is the same data as the MODE data set in step 1704. Next, in step 1710, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command (a command to a sub side, for example, "10110101") related to the second EVENT data (in the control command transmission process of step 1999), It is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side, and the process proceeds to step 1720. Although the details will be described later, numerical value information in the EVENT data transmitted twice is combined to transmit the remaining number of definite variations (and the number of remaining periods).

  On the other hand, if No in step 1702, in step 1712, the specific game control means MP50 sets the command (the command to the sub side, in this example, "01H") of MODE data relating to the remaining number of definite variations (step) It is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side in the control command transmission processing of 1999). Next, in step 1714, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command (a command to the sub side, for example, "10000000") related to information in which other than the most significant bit is 0 as the first EVENT data. (The control command transmission processing in step 1999 is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1716, the specific game control means MP50 sets the command (the command to the sub side, in this example, "01H") of MODE data relating to the remaining number of definite variations (control command transmission processing of step 1999) At the sub main control unit SM side). The MODE data set in step 1716 is the same data as the MODE data set in step 1712. Next, in step 1718, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command (a command to the sub side, for example, "10110101") related to the counter value of the current probability variation counter MP51c as the second EVENT data. (It is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the process shifts to step 1720.

  Next, in step 1720, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c is larger than the transmission limit value (127 in this example). Determine In the case of Yes in step 1720, in step 1722, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command (command to the sub side, in this example, "02H") of MODE data relating to the remaining number of short times (step 1999 of In the control command transmission process, it is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1724, the specific game control means MP50 sets the command (the command to the sub side, for example, "10000001") related to the information of the transmission limit value (127 in this example) as EVENT data. (The control command transmission processing in step 1999 is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1726, the specific game control means MP50 sets the MODE data command (which is a command to the sub side in this example, “02H” in this example) according to the remaining time reduction number (control command transmission processing of step 1999) At the sub main control unit SM side). The MODE data set in step 1726 is the same data as the MODE data set in step 1722. Next, in step 1728, the specific game control means MP50, as EVENT data, is a command (to the sub side) relating to a value obtained by subtracting the transmission limit value (127 in this example) from the counter value of the current time reduction counter MP52c. A command, for example, "10110101", is set (sent to the sub main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1750 or step 1997). Do.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1720, in step 1730, the specific game control means MP50 sets the command (the command to the sub side, in this example, "02H") of MODE data relating to the remaining number of short times (step) It is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side in the control command transmission processing of 1999). Next, in step 1732, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command (a command to the sub side, for example, "10000000") related to information in which other than the most significant bit is 0 as EVENT data (step 1999) In the control command transmission process of (1), the sub main control unit SM side is transmitted). Next, in step 1734, the specific game control means MP50 sets the MODE data command (which is a command to the sub side in this example, “02H” in this example) according to the remaining number of short times (control command transmission processing of step 1999). At the sub main control unit SM side). The MODE data set in step 1734 is the same data as the MODE data set in step 1730. Next, in step 1736, the specific game control means MP50 sets a command (a command to the sub side, for example, “10110101”) related to the counter value of the current time reduction counter MP52c as EVENT data (step 1999) In the control command transmission process of (1), the sub main control unit SM side is transmitted, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1750 or step 1997). In the present embodiment, when not in the probability variation gaming state (when the count value of the probability variation counter MP51c is 0), or when not in the time shortening gaming state (when the count value of the time reduction counter MP52c is 0) , "Remaining probability variation = 0" or "remaining time variation 0 = 0" is configured to transmit a command related to the information, but is not limited thereto, "remaining probability variation 0 =" or "remaining time variation In the case of “0”, the command is not transmitted (when the command is not received, it is determined that “the remaining number of definite variations = 0” or “the remaining number of shorts = 0” on the sub side) It may be configured.

  The command relating to the remaining number of times and the command relating to the remaining number of times of variation may be parallel signals or serial signals. In addition, in the case of a parallel signal, a bit for identification between MODE data and EVENT data may not be provided.

  Next, FIG. 18 is an example of the content of the remaining number of times of variation variable in the present embodiment. First, command transmission concerning the remaining number of definite variations will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, since the number of definite variations (maximum number of times) is 181 and the value related to the number of remaining certain variations that can be transmitted in one EVENT data is 127, two ENENT data are transmitted By transmitting (the MODE data is also transmitted twice), it is possible to transmit a command related to the remaining number of definite variations to the sub side. Details will be described in detail, but when combining the commands related to the remaining number of definite variations on the sub side, the bits other than the most significant bit of the first EVENT data are the 8th to 14th digits and the 2nd EVENT data Bits other than the most significant bit are the first to seventh digits, and they are converted into decimal numbers as 14-digit binary numbers and recognized as the remaining number of probable variations. Specifically, in the case of transmitting the remaining definite variation number 181 times, first, “01H” indicating the remaining definite variation number is transmitted as the first MODE data, and then “10000001” as the first EVENT data. (The most significant bit is “1”, which is the identification bit of EVENT data) is transmitted, and then “01H” is transmitted as the second MODE data indicating the remaining number of definite variations, and then the second As the EVENT data of (1), “10110101” (the most significant bit is “1” which is an identification bit of EVENT data) is transmitted. The remaining number of times is the same as the method of transmitting the remaining number of definite variations, so the description will be omitted. The MODE data of the remaining short number of times is "02H".

  Next, FIG. 19 shows limit frequency frequency transmission control processing according to the subroutine of step 1750 in FIG. 5 and FIG. First, in step 1752, the limited frequency change mode determining means MN 52 refers to the limited frequency counter MN 52 c and determines whether the counter value is larger than 0, that is, whether it is in the current limited frequency state. In the case of Yes in step 1752, in step 1754, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN 52 refers to the limited frequency remaining number determination table MN 52 ta-2 based on the counter value of the current limited frequency counter MN 52 c to determine the current limited frequency. The remaining number of rotations of the state and the current limited frequency state (the number of remaining fluctuations until the stay stage is switched, the remaining limited frequency number) is calculated and temporarily stored. Next, in step 1756, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN 52 sets commands (for example, "03H" to the sub side) of MODE data relating to the limited frequency state and the remaining limited frequency number (step 1999) In the control command transmission process of (1), the sub main control unit SM side is transmitted). Next, in step 1758, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN 52 sets a command (a command to the sub side, for example, "10111100") related to the current remaining limited frequency number as EVENT data (step 1999 of In the control command transmission process, it is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1016 or step 1550).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1752, at step 1760, the limited frequency variation mode determination means MN 52 sets the command (the command to the sub side, "05H" in this example) of MODE data related to the remaining limited frequency number. It is set (sent to the sub main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1762, the limited frequency change mode determination means MN 52 is a command related to information in which all bits except for the most significant bit are 0 as EVENT data (a command to the sub side, for example, “10000000 Is sent to the sub main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1016 or step 1550). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the limited frequency state is not set, the command related to the information in which the remaining limited frequency number of the limited frequency state C is zero is transmitted to the sub side. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and the MODE data contents may be changed, or when not in the limited frequency state, the command related to the remaining limited frequency number may not be updated.

  Here, the lower part of the figure is a table for determining the remaining number of limited frequencies. As shown in this table, the remaining frequency calculation method (the method of calculating the remaining limited frequency number) is configured to be different depending on the limited frequency state where it is staying {may be staying after the limited frequency state where it currently stays Calculated by subtracting the maximum number of stays in the limited frequency state (number of changes until the stay stage switches). The transmission mode of the remaining limited frequency number is not limited to this. For example, in the limit frequency counter MN 52c, the remaining limited frequency number (60, 120 or 1) is set, and on the sub side, Based on the limited frequency state and the remaining limited frequency number (limited frequency counter value), it is determined in which limited frequency state what remaining fluctuation is (for example, the MODE command is "03H" and the limited frequency counter value is 30. When certain information is received, it may be determined that the limited frequency state A and the remaining limited frequency frequency is 30 times).

  Next, FIG. 20 is an example of the remaining limited frequency frequency command in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the remaining limited frequency frequency is less than the transmission limit value (127 in this example) in all the limited frequency states (limited frequency state A, limited frequency state B, and limited frequency state C). The limited frequency count can be transmitted to the sub side by transmitting the command related to MODE data and the command related to EVENT data once each. Further, as described above, the commands relating to the remaining number of confirmed variations and the remaining number of times are configured to transmit the command relating to the MODE data and the command relating to the EVENT data twice each, and the commands relating to the remaining limited frequency and Have different numbers of transmissions.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the special game operating condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the condition determination unit MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b to determine whether the condition device operation flag is on. If Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the special game control means MP30 is in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, a specific game flag (main game probability change flag · main game time short flag · auxiliary game time short Turn off the flag). Next, in step 1556, the specific game control means MB30 clears the value of the probability variation number counter MP51c. Next, at step 1558, the specific game control means MB30 clears the value of the time saving number counter MP52c. Next, in step 1560, special game control means MP30 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1562, the special game control unit MP30 turns off the condition device activation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1600). Also in the case of No in step 1552, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of special game control processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag Turn on. Next, in step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information (special game start display instruction command) to the effect of starting a special game to the sub main control unit ( In the control command transmission process of step 1999, the sub main control unit SM side is transmitted), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether the special game execution flag is on. Then, in the case of Yes in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the permission for the special game is not received, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. Determine if there is. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution unit MP33 sets the open pattern set in the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b (for example, keeps opening) Set the open pattern and open / close pattern). Next, in step 1616, the special game execution means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1620, the special game execution means MP33 drives the first winning opening electric motor winning combination C11d of the first large winning opening C10 (or the second electric winning combination C21 d of the second large winning opening C20) The first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) is opened, a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is set to the special game timer MP34t (especially the opening time timer), and the process proceeds to step 1622 . On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1612, that is, when the special winning opening is open, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of game balls to be won, etc.) pertaining to the current special game to the sub main control unit SM side. The command transmission buffer MT10 for the command is set (sent to the sub main control unit SM side in the control command transmission processing of step 1999). Next, in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) in the first large winning opening C10 (or the second large winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball of). In the case of Yes at step 1624, the process goes to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (in particular, the open time timer) in step 1626 for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to opening of the special winning opening. It is determined whether it has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. In the case of No at step 1626, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, in step 1628, the special game execution means MP33 is the first large winning opening electric combination C11d of the first large winning opening C10 (or the second large winning opening electric combination C21d of the second large winning opening C20) The driving is stopped and the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means MP33 resets the special game timer MP34t (in particular, the open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1633, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1634, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and whether or not the final round is over (for example, the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b It is determined whether the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1638, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information (special game end display instruction command) to the effect of ending the special game to the sub main control unit SM side. (The control command transmission processing in step 1999 is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Then, in step 1650, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1997). Also in the case of No in step 1634, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination processing after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, at step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 sets the probability variation counter MP51c a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example). Next, in step 1654, the specified game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specified game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, at step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 sets the time reduction number counter MP52c a predetermined number of times (in this example, 181). Next, in step 1658, the specified game control means MP50 turns on the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specified game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1700, the specific game control means MP50 executes the above-mentioned probability variation short time transmission control process described above, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1997). In the present embodiment, basically, when the main game symbol has finished fluctuating, it is configured to execute transmission control processing for certain variation time short number of times (transmit the remaining number of certain variation and the remaining number of short hours to the sub side) However, in the first symbol variation after the end of the special game, since the command related to the counter value of the probability variation counter MP51c and the count value of the time reduction counter MP52c is not transmitted, the probability variation time short transmission control in FIG. Configured to perform processing. In addition, the execution timing of the probability variation time short transmission control process is not limited to this, it may be configured to be executed at the variation start timing of the main game symbol or at a predetermined timing during variation, the remaining probability variation number and the remaining time number There is no problem if the sub control board can be confirmed. In addition, it is not necessary to transmit the command related to the remaining number of confirmed variations and the remaining number of short times at the end of the special game, in which case, for example, the command related to the remaining number of remaining fixed variations is not received When the command indicating the state is received, the sub side may be configured to determine that the remaining number of probable variations is 181 (maximum value).

  Next, control processing executed on the side of the sub main control unit SM will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 24 is a main flowchart of the sub control board S side (in particular, the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 5D is a process on the side of the sub main control unit SM which is executed after resetting such as when the power is turned on to the gaming machine. That is, when power is supplied to the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub main control unit SM executes an initial process based on the information received from the main side (the main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information When received → Initialize the sub-side RAM, when various information commands are received → Resetting related information at power-off to the sub-side RAM). Thereafter, the process shifts to loop processing in which (f), which is the repetitive processing routine of the sub main control unit SM, is repeatedly executed. Here, when (f) is executed, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM first performs a limited frequency stay stage described later in step 2050 as shown in the process of FIG. Execute the decision process. Next, in step 2100, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes the number-of-times control processing described later. Next, in step 2200, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes an in-ST effect stage determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a story mode display control process described later. Next, in step 2400, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a sound / lamp adjustment display control process described later. Next, in step 2500, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a holding information management process described later. Next, in step 2700, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2800, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decoration symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2900, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes special game related display control processing described later. Next, in step 2999, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes display command transmission control processing (sends the command set by these series of subroutines to the sub sub control unit SS side), End the repeat processing routine.

  As described above, the sub main control unit SM employs a mode in which the sub main routine (S2050 to S2999) is loop-processed after being reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5E is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line in the main control board M described above is one terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (e). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives a command input port from the main control board M side ( Check the input port of the data signal line mentioned above. Then, at step 2006, based on the check result, the sub main control unit SM sends a command sent from the main control board M to the RAM on the sub main control unit SM side (for example, main side information temporary storage means SM11 b). Are temporarily stored, and the process returns to the process that was being performed immediately before this interrupt process.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of limited frequency staying stage determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2050 in FIG. First, at step 2052, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the symbol change is a change relating to a loss. In the case of Yes in step 2052, in step 2054, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines in step 2054 whether or not a command related to the remaining limited frequency frequency has been received. In the case of step 2056, the background effect display control means SM23 confirms the limited frequency state based on the MODE data in the received command, and the remaining number of fluctuation until the current limited frequency state ends based on the EVENT data Temporarily store Next, in step 2058, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether the received command is a command related to the limited frequency A or not. In the case of Yes in step 2058, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the remaining number of fluctuations temporarily stored in step 2056 in step 2060, and the remaining number of fluctuations based on EVENT data is the maximum value (maximum stay of the limited frequency A It is the number of fluctuations, and in this example, it is determined whether or not 60). In the case of Yes in step 2060, in step 2062, the background effect display control means SM23 switches the stay stage (effect stage classified by type of effect such as background effect to be executed) to "limited frequency A-1", The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2100).

  On the other hand, if No in step 2060, the background effect display control unit SM23 refers to the remaining number of fluctuations temporarily stored in step 2056 in step 2064 and determines whether the remaining number of fluctuations based on EVENT data is 0 or not. judge. In the case of Yes in step 2064, in step 2066, the background effect display control means SM23 switches the stay stage (effect stage classified according to the type of effect such as background effect to be executed) to "limited frequency B-1" The process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2100).

  On the other hand, if No in step 2058, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b in step 2068 and determines whether the received command is a command related to the limited frequency B or not. Do. In the case of Yes in step 2068, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the remaining number of fluctuations temporarily stored in step 2056 in step 2070, and determines whether the remaining number of fluctuations based on EVENT data is 0 or not. . In the case of Yes in step 2070, in step 2072 the background effect display control means SM23 switches the stay stage (effect stage classified according to the type of effect such as background effect to be executed) to "limited frequency C" Processing proceeds to processing (processing of step 2100).

  On the other hand, if No in step 2068, in other words, if the received command is a command relating to the limited frequency C, in step 2074 the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the remaining number of fluctuations temporarily stored in step 2056. Then, it is determined whether the remaining number of fluctuations based on the EVENT data is zero. In the case of Yes in step 2074, in step 2076, the background effect display control means SM23 sets the stay stage (effect stage classified according to the type of effect such as background effect to be executed) There is no stay stage, and the limited frequency state C is switched to the final stay stage in the limited frequency state), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2100). Also in the case of No at step 2052, step 2054, step 2064, step 2070 or step 2074, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2100).

  Here, the lower part of the same figure is an image figure concerning the number of times of staying stage. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the stay stage is “limited frequency A-1”, “limited frequency A-2”, “limited frequency B-1”, “limited frequency B-2”, There are “limited frequency C” and “non-deterministic change stages”, and there are multiple staying stages in one limited frequency state. In addition, although the stay stage in the case of being in the non-probability change gaming state is only the “non-probability change stage”, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of stay stages may be provided.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flow chart of the number-of-times control process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the number-of-times control unit SM27 refers to the main information temporary storage unit SM11b, and determines whether the current stay stage is "limited frequency C" (the last stay stage in the limited frequency state). judge. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the number-of-times control unit SM27 refers to the main information temporary storage unit SM11b, and performs the first specific operation of the sub input button SB in the stay stage (cross in this example). It is determined whether or not the upper button of the key SB-2 and the sub input button SB are pressed at the same time. In the case of Yes in step 2104, in step 2106, the number-of-times control unit SM27 controls the number-of-continuous-times continuous flag in the flag area of the number-of-times-related-information temporary storage unit SM27b Turn on the flag (which will not be cleared), and move on to step 2108. Incidentally, even in the case of No in step 2102 or step 2104, the processing shifts to step 2108.

  Next, in step 2108, the control unit SM27 refers to the main information temporary storage unit SM11b, and symbol fluctuation a predetermined number of times (20 times in this example) after the "limit frequency C" ends. It is determined whether it has ended. In the case of Yes in step 2108, in step 2110, the number-of-times control unit SM27 refers to the flag area of the number-of-times-related-information temporary storage unit SM27b and determines whether or not the number of consecutiveness continuation flag is off. . If Yes in step 2110, then in step 2112, the number-of-times control unit SM27 clears the number-of-times counter SM23c2 (counter for measuring the number of consecutive games for special games to be added in step 2910) to zero, and step Transition to 2114. Incidentally, even in the case of No in step 2108 or step 2110, the processing shifts to step 2114.

  Next, at step 2114, the number-of-times control unit SM27 refers to the main information temporary storage unit SM11b, and the non-probability fluctuation gaming state (does not shift to the probability fluctuation gaming state but maintains the non-probability fluctuation gaming state The waiting demonstration effect (effect that can be executed when the period when the game ball does not enter all the winning openings continues for a predetermined period or more) in one continuous period) is a predetermined number of times (two times in this example) It is determined whether or not it has been executed. In the case of Yes in step 2114, in step 2116, the number-of-times control unit SM27 turns off the number-of-continuous-times continuation flag in the flag area of the number-of-times-related-information temporary storage unit SM27b, and performs the next process (step Transition to processing). Also in the case of No in step 2114, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2200). In the present embodiment, the on / off flag is set to be on or off according to the presence or absence of the standby demonstration effect. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is determined that the game has not progressed. The continuous number of times continuation flag may be configured to be turned off. In the present embodiment, when the stay stage is "limited frequency C", the continuous number of times continuation flag can be turned on, but the stay stage is "limited frequency C", that is, limited When the variation mode of the main gaming symbol is determined with reference to the frequency table 3, the variation time is all 5 seconds, and it is possible to secure a predetermined time (5 seconds) which can surely execute the specific operation described above. It is configured as follows. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the number of consecutive recordings can be maintained by executing a specific operation using the sub input button SB and the cross key SB-2, but is not limited to this. By executing the specific operation, it is also possible to maintain information such as accumulated data (for example, accumulated information on defeated enemy characters) acquired by performing continuous action and information such as the number of gaming balls obtained by using continuous action It may be configured. In addition, the operation effective period in which the number of consecutive units can be maintained by the specific operation is not limited to only the configuration of the present embodiment, and may be, for example, during symbol variation time in “limit frequency C” or “limit A predetermined period during symbol fluctuation in frequency C (for example, from the start of symbol fluctuation to the end of presentation to notify the result of the success or failure of the fluctuation is considered as invalid operation, stop timing of the main game symbol according to the fluctuation after the notification of the result The period until the operation is valid, etc.) may be used.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the during-ST effect stage determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, at step 2202, the background effect display control means SM 23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM 11 b and determines whether or not a command related to the remaining number of certain variations has been received. In the present example, since the number of definite variations and the number of time reductions are the same number (181), the process related to the number of variations of the processing of the present subroutine may be processing relating to the number of time reductions. If Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the background effect display control means SM23 combines the bits other than the most significant bit of the EVENT data (the first EVENT data and the second EVENT data) in the command having the same MODE data. Calculate the number of remaining definite variations and temporarily store it. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the value related to the remaining number of definite variations that can be transmitted by one EVENT data is up to 127, the number of probable variations having the maximum number of 181 and the number of time savings are two EVENT data The values transmitted at step S are combined and calculated (refer to FIG. 28 for the combining method).

  In the present embodiment, when switching the stay stage, when switching within the same limited frequency state (for example, when switching from “limited frequency A-1” to “limited frequency A-2”), the remaining number of definite variations If the stay stage is switched at the same time as switching of the limited frequency state (for example, when switching from “limited frequency A-2” to “limited frequency B-1”) with reference to the command related to In the case of the change of the stay stage by which the selection tendency of the variation mode of the main gaming symbol is different by referring to the above, the command concerning the frequency of limitation is referred to, In the case of the change of the stay stage where the selection tendency of the variation mode of the main game pattern is not different, the command concerning the consistent information of the remaining number of definite variations is referred to And thus capable of efficiently manage staying stage between. In addition, it is not limited to this, You may comprise so that the command which concerns on the remaining limited frequency frequency may be referred by switching of all the stay stages.

  Next, FIG. 28 is an image diagram schematically showing coupling of MODE data and EVENT data. In this figure, the case of transmitting the remaining definite variation number of 181 times is illustrated. As described above, in the case of transmitting the remaining definite variation number 181 times, first, "01H" representing the remaining positive variation number is transmitted as the first MODE data, and then "10000001" as the first EVENT data. (The most significant bit is “1”, which is the identification bit of EVENT data), and then “01H” is transmitted as the second MODE data, which indicates the remaining number of probable variations, and then 2 As the first EVENT data, “10110101” (the most significant bit is “1” which is an identification bit of EVENT data) is transmitted. Next, the first-time EVENT data and the second-time EVENT data are both “00000001”, which is a bit string of MODE data “01H”, and by continuously transmitting them, the background effect display control means SM23 It recognizes that these instruction contents should be combined. It may be configured to determine whether or not to combine according to the type of MODE data.

  The first EVENT data is “10000001”, and the second EVENT data is “10110101”. The sub control board S combines the lower 7 bits excluding the most significant bit ("1" in this example) of each EVENT data. As the combining rule, the bit string transmitted earlier is set higher, and the bit string transmitted later is set lower. As a result, the sub-control board S recognizes that the combined 14-bit bit string "00000010110101" is "181" in decimal, and indicates the instruction content of "181 remaining definite variations". The bit string transmitted earlier may be set lower, and the bit string transmitted later may be set higher.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of a story mode display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b to determine whether or not it is currently in the non-time shortening gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2302, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b in step 2304, and the story mode state switchable timing (on / off of a story mode execution flag described later is a sub input It is the timing which can be switched by the operation of the button, and in this example, during the symbol variation and during the button effect execution and not during the super reach, or the suspension exists and the symbol is suspended or 0 suspension and It is determined whether or not it is a period until 5 seconds elapse from the fluctuation stop, or it is a period from 75 seconds after lapse of the story mode execution flag ON and fluctuation stop when 5 seconds after the suspension stop. Do. In the case of Yes at step 2304, the background effect display control means SM 23 determines at step 2306 whether or not a predetermined operation of the sub input button SB (in this example, depression of the sub input button SB) has been made. If Yes in step 2306, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b in step 2308, and the story mode execution flag (the story mode effect is turned on in step 2310) It is determined whether the flag (displayed at the displayable timing) is off. In the case of Yes in step 2308, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the story mode execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b in step 2310, and proceeds to step 2314. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2302 or in the case of step 2308, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the story mode execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b in step 2312. Control is passed to step 2314. Incidentally, even in the case of No in step 2304 or step 2308, the processing shifts to step 2314.

  Next, in step 2314, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the story mode execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2314, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b in step 2316, and the current story mode displayable timing (the timing at which the story mode effect can be displayed) In, during the symbol variation and button production execution and not in the super reach, there is a suspension and the suspension of symbol suspension, 0 suspension and a period of 5 seconds after the suspension of suspension, 0 suspension and When 5 seconds have passed since the fluctuation stop, it is determined whether the story mode execution flag is on and the period from the fluctuation stop to 75 seconds has elapsed). In the case of Yes in step 2316, in step 2318, the background effect display control means SM23 displays a story mode effect (effect that can be displayed when the story mode execution flag is on, which will be described in detail in FIG. 30). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2400). On the other hand, if No in step 2314 or step 2316, in step 2320, the background effect display control unit SM23 hides the story mode effect, and shifts to the next process (the process in step 2400). In the present embodiment, when the story mode execution flag is on when there are 0 pending and 5 seconds have elapsed from the change stop, the story mode effect is generated in the period from 5 seconds to 75 seconds after the change stop. However, in the case of the configuration of the present embodiment, the story mode execution flag is temporarily turned off from the on state in the period from 5 seconds to 75 seconds after the change stop. After that, the story mode effect is not displayed even if the sub input button SB is pressed thereafter. The present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and in the period from 5 seconds to 75 seconds after the change stop, display / non-display of story mode effect is switched as many times as the sub input button SB is pressed (story mode The execution flag may be switched on / off.

  Next, FIG. 30 is an image diagram according to the story mode effect. In the same figure, one change of the main game design ends, the situation where the main game design has not fluctuated afterwards is illustrated. First, the upper part of the figure will be described in detail. By pressing the middle sub input button SB in which symbol variation is being executed in the non-time shortening gaming state and the non-probability variation gaming state, the story mode effect is executed and the story mode execution flag is turned on. After that, the button effect (normal button effect) is executed during the symbol change, and the story mode effect is not displayed during the button effect execution (since the button effect requires the operation of the sub input button SB). Thereafter, when the button effect is ended, the story mode effect is displayed again. After that, the super reach effect is executed, and the story mode effect is again hidden (because the player's attention is concentrated on whether or not the game is a big hit). Thereafter, the change is stopped and displayed with the lost symbol and the story mode effect is redisplayed. Thereafter, the fluctuation stop state of the main gaming symbol is continued, and the story mode effect is not displayed 75 seconds after the fluctuation stop of the main gaming symbol, the sound / lamp adjustment screen is displayed and the story mode execution flag is turned off.

  Next, the lower part of the figure will be described in detail. In the non-time shortening gaming state and the non-probability fluctuation gaming state, the symbol variation is executed, and the decorative symbol (main game symbol) is stopped without the pressing of the sub input button SB being executed. Thereafter, a sound / lamp adjustment screen is displayed 5 seconds after the stop of the decorative symbol (main game symbol). As described above, when the story mode effect is not executed, it is determined that the player does not intend to view the story mode effect, and the sound / lamp is generated earlier than when the story mode effect is executed. The adjustment screen is configured to be displayed. In addition, the display of the story mode effect is configured not to overlap with the display of the decorative symbol on the effect display device SG. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured not to overlap with the hold display, or to display a second decorative symbol to be displayed so as not to confuse the player when the display of the decorative symbol is not displayed. A configuration (for example, displaying smaller than the display of the decorative symbol in the upper left stage of the effect display device SG during the period when the cut-in effect is displayed) may be configured so as not to overlap with the display of the second decorative symbol. . Also, for the sub input button SB and the cross key SB-2, the period during which the story mode execution flag is on / off is effective, the period during which the sound / lamp adjustment screen is displayed, and the period during which the button effect is performed. The lighting modes may be different (high-speed blinking, low-speed blinking, lighting, different colors, etc.). Although not shown, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, information concerning whether or not the operation of the sub input button SB and the cross key SB-2 is effective, and information concerning the presence / absence of display of the story mode effect Is configured to be included in the data of the game effect lamp (for example, data indicating that the story mode effect is not displayed is included in the lamp data at the time of super reach execution). In addition, as an effect relating to the story mode, an effect notifying the player that the story mode effect may be executed by the gaming machine according to the present embodiment may be provided. It may be configured to be able to execute an effect that a character appears and the line "You can see the story by pressing the sub input button!" Is displayed.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the sound / lamp adjustment display control process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, at step 2402, the sound / lamp control means SM28 determines whether the sound / lamp adjustment display flag in the flag area of the sound / lamp related information temporary storage means SM28b is on. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the sound / lamp control means SM28 displays a sound / lamp adjustment effect (effect of notifying the player that the sound volume and the brightness of the various game effect lamps D26 can be adjusted) Do. In this example, when the sound / lamp adjustment display flag is on, operating the upper button of the cross key SB-2 increases the sound volume, and operating the lower button of the cross key SB-2 decreases the sound volume, and the cross key SB-2 When the right button of is operated, the brightness of the lamp is increased, and when the left button of the cross key SB-2 is operated, the brightness of the lamp is decreased. Next, in step 2406, the sound / lamp control means SM28 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether the game ball has entered any of the winning openings. In the case of Yes in step 2406, in step 2408, the sound / lamp control means SM 28 hides the sound lamp adjustment effect, and displays the normal effect based on the variation pattern of the decorative symbol. Next, at step 2410, the sound and lamp control means SM28 turns off the sound and lamp adjustment display flag in the flag area of the sound and lamp related information temporary storage means SM28b and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2500). Transition.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2402, the sound / lamp control means SM28 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b at step 2412 and determines whether or not the current time non-time shortening gaming state is present. If YES in step 2412, the sound / lamp control means SM28 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b in step 2414 to determine whether or not the symbol is currently stopped and the special game is not being executed. If YES in step 2414, the sound / lamp control means SM28 refers to the sound / lamp related information temporary storage means SM28b in step 2416 to determine whether the sound / lamp adjustment effect display condition is satisfied. Here, the sound / lamp adjustment effect display condition satisfaction timing in this example is 0 pending, 5 seconds after the fluctuation stop, 0 pauses, and the story mode execution in the period from 5 seconds to 75 seconds after the fluctuation stop. The timing when the flag is turned off, 0 pending, and the timing 75 seconds after the fluctuation stop. If YES in step 2416, the sound / lamp control means SM28 turns on the sound / lamp adjustment display flag in the flag area of the sound / lamp related information temporary storage means SM28b in step 2418, and performs the next process (step 2500). Move to Also in the case of No at step 2406, step 2412, step 2414 or step 2416, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the pending information management process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and a command relating to the new hold generation from the main control board M side (first main game symbol or second main It is determined whether or not hold information pertaining to the game symbol has been received. If Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is a drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, A maximum of four for the second main game is added "1". Next, in step 2506, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 temporarily sends a command concerning the new hold success / failure result and stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b. Remember. Next, in step 2508, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 generates hold information (in particular, fluctuation mode group, fluctuation mode random number delimiter information, etc.) based on the hold generation command transmitted from the main control board M side. , Temporarily storing in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. When the information concerning the stop result, the variation pattern group, the variation pattern random number division information is not transmitted from the main side, the information is stored in the temporary storage information temporary storage area in step 2506 or step 2508. Will not be stored temporarily. Next, in step 2509, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2509, in step 2550, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a first main game winning time prefetching determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2520. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2509, the coating material suspension information display control means SM22 executes, at step 2650, prefetching determination processing at the time of second main game winning, which will be described later.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2502, in step 2511, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and receives a symbol variation display start instruction command from the main control board M side It is determined whether or not. If Yes in step 2511, in step 2512, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts "1" from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2514, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 holds information relating to the symbol change (in particular, the result of the pass / fail, stop symbol information, the fluctuation mode group and the fluctuation mode random number division information) The temporary storage means SM22b is deleted and the remaining reserve information is shifted. Next, in step 2516, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21 b, and proceeds to step 2520. Also in the case of No at step 2511, the process proceeds to step 2520.

  Next, in step 2520, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 stores the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b on the effect display device SG (in particular, the first hold display unit SG12 and the second hold display unit SG13). In the next process (the process of step 2700), the hold display lamps of the same number as the rendering hold counter value of the above are lit in white (the hold display mode is white when the hold display mode does not change). Transition.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flow chart of the first main game winning prediction process according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. The present processing is divided into two, processing pertaining to the prohibition condition of the pre-reading lottery and processing pertaining to the pre-drawing lottery. In the prohibition process of the former prefetch lottery, first, at step 2552, the reserve prefetch effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22b and holds the second main game hold (the first main game hold) It is determined whether or not there is a hold) which is prioritized prior to the game player. In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the holding pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storing means SM11 b and judges whether the current gaming state is not the time shortening gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2554, in step 2558, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b and there is a pending with information indicating that the trigger is on pending within the pending It is determined whether there is any. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that has been won in the prize pre-selection lottery (the first main game prize pre-selection lottery, the second main game pre-selection lottery). In the case of Yes in step 2558, in step 2560, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b, and there is no pending which is a big hit in pending before the new pending. Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2560, the process moves to step 2562.

  Next, in the process relating to the latter pre-reading lottery, first, in step 2562, the pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b, and the new pending becomes a big hit pending It is determined whether the In the case of Yes in step 2562, in step 2564, the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k executes a prize pre-selection lottery at the time of winning with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/3) with respect to the new reserve. It transfers to step 2574. On the other hand, if the result of step 2562 is No, the pre-reading effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b at step 2568, and the new pending change mode group is group 3 or not. Determine if In addition, when determining whether or not execution of the prefetch lottery is performed, it may be configured to determine whether or not the execution of the prefetch lottery is performed in consideration of the variation mode random number delimiter information. In the case of Yes in step 2568, in step 2570, the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM 26k executes a prize-prediction lottery at the time of winning with a predetermined probability (1/10 in this example) with respect to the new reserve It transfers to step 2574. Also in the case of No at step 2568, the process proceeds to step 2574.

  Next, at step 2574, the pending look-ahead rendering execution availability determination means SM 26k determines whether or not the winning at the time of the prize-based reading lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2574, in step 2576, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k is “trigger pending” in the new pending winning in the prize pre-reading lottery in the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b. Information to the effect is added and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2512).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2552 (when the second main game hold exists in hold), at step 2578, the hold prefetching effect executability judging means SM26k is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Delete the information to the effect that it is "trigger pending" from the information related to the stored pending (If there is no pending with the information that the trigger is pending, this process is not executed, and the next process is not performed. And the next process (the process of step 2520). Also in the case of No at Step 2554, Step 2558, Step 2560, or Step 2574, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing at Step 2520). In the process of step 2578, when a hold on the second main game side exists (is generated), in the gaming machine of the second main game side preferential digest like this embodiment, the newly generated second main game side In order to settle the game side's suspension first, it is a configuration for avoiding a situation in which the scheduled change order is not made and the preread effect over plural changes is not executed normally. In addition, as a prohibition condition of the pre-reading lottery, a condition as to whether or not there is a suspension of a specific variation mode group (or a suspension of specific variation mode random number delimiter information) in the suspension before the new suspension as a suspension condition It is also good.

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flow chart of the second main game winning combination prefetching determination process according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. The present processing is divided into two, processing pertaining to the prohibition condition of the pre-reading lottery and processing pertaining to the pre-drawing lottery. In the prohibition process of the former pre-reading lottery, first, at step 2602, the pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b and the current gaming state is the time-saving gaming state or not Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b and there is a pending with information indicating that the trigger is on pending within the pending It is determined whether there is any. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the reserve pre-reading effect executability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22 b and determines whether or not there is a big hit pending in the new pending. Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2606, the process moves to step 2608.

  Next, in the process relating to the latter pre-reading lottery, first, in step 2608, pending pre-reading effect execution possibility decision expedient SM26k referring to drawing pending information temporary storage expedient SM22b, the new pending becomes the big hit pending It is determined whether the In the case of Yes in step 2608, in step 2610, the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM 26k executes a prize-prediction lottery at the time of winning with a predetermined probability (1/3 in this example) with respect to the new reserve Control goes to step 2620. On the other hand, if No in step 2608, in step 2612 the reserve prefetch effect execution possibility determination unit SM26k refers to the drawing suspension information temporary storage unit SM22b, and the new suspension change mode group is group C or not. Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2616, the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM 26k executes a prize-prediction lottery at the time of winning with a predetermined probability (1/5 in this example) with respect to the new reserve. Control goes to step 2620. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2612, the process moves to step 2620.

  Next, at step 2620, the pending look-ahead rendering execution availability determination means SM 26k determines whether or not the winning look-ahead lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2620, in step 2622, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k is “trigger pending” in the new pending winning in the prize pre-reading lottery in the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b. Information to the effect is added and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2520). Also in the case of No in step 2602, step 2604, step 2606 or step 2620, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2520).

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the figure display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If the result of step 2702 is YES, in step 2704, the clothing display content determination means SM21 n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM 21 b. Next, in step 2706, the drawing display content determination means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determination means SM24n, the reach effect display content determination means SM25n) stores the symbol information (temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means SM11b). With reference to the stop symbol / variation mode pertaining to the main game symbol and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol {eg, when the stop symbol pertaining to the main game symbol is a big hit symbol Is determined if it is a broken eye pattern such as "7, 7 or 7", and if it is a lost design, it is determined that the looseness order is "1, 3 · 5 etc." and the variation display condition temporary storage means SM21b The preliminary effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, the reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b) is temporarily stored.

  Next, in step 2750, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n executes button effect content determination processing to be described later. Next, in step 2712, the notice effect display content determining means SM24n determines the effect contents other than the button effect based on the stop symbol and the change mode of the decorative symbol. Next, in step 2712, the figure display content determination means SM21 n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21 b, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800). Transition. Also in the case of No in step 2702, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of button effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2750 in FIG. First, at step 2752, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM 22 b to determine whether or not there is a trigger hold within the hold. If Yes in step 2752, in step 2753, the notice effect display content determination means SM24 n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b, the variation pattern group of the symbol variation is group 3 or group C (average value of variation time It is determined whether or not it is the fluctuation mode group which takes the longest time). In the case of Yes at step 2753, at step 2754, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n determines the display relating to the button effect as the special button image. In this example, the button effect in which the special button image is displayed is the special button effect. Next, in step 2756, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n determines the special button effect execution timing (determines which timing of the variation the button effect effective time and the button effect execution time are). In this example, the button effect (normal button effect, special button effect) can be executed at a plurality of timings in symbol variation. Next, in step 2758, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n is within the button input effective time (in this example, 5 seconds, longer than 3 seconds which is the shortest fluctuation time when referring to the limited frequency table 2) The cut-in effect contents (a plurality of cut-in effects having different jackpot expectation degrees are provided) to be executed when the sub input button SB is pressed are determined. Next, in step 2760, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the trigger hold is a big hit hold. In the case of Yes in step 2760, in step 2762, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays the after hold display mode for trigger hold (the hold display mode that changes after the sub input button SB is pressed) in the hold display mode determination table (big hit) Time) and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2710). On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2760, at step 2764, the display mode after change of trigger hold (hold display mode changing after pressing the sub input button SB) is determined with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of disconnection) , The next process (the process of step 2710).

  Here, the two tables at the bottom of the figure are the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit) and the hold display mode decision table (at the time of losing). In this embodiment, the type of display mode that can be selected is iridescent, red when determining the display mode of trigger hold that may change during execution of the special button effect with reference to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit) There are four types of display modes, red, green and blue, and three types of display modes that can be selected when determined with reference to the hold display mode determination table (when lost) are red, green and blue, and the hold display mode It is drawn by random number for exclusive use at the time of decision. It should be noted that red is most easily selected when referring to the hold display mode determination table (at the time of big hit), while blue is most easily selected when reference is made to the hold display mode decision table (at the time of losing). The big hit expectation of each is selected only when the rainbow color is big hit, and the colors other than the rainbow color are in the order of red, green and blue from the one with high expectation. In addition, the display mode which can be changed is an example to the last, and even if it increases and decreases a kind, even if it changes the color which can change, there is no problem at all. Moreover, in this example, although it was comprised so that the degree of expectation which will be a big hit could be suggested by the display color of pending | holding, it is not limited to this, For example, ), It may be configured to be able to indicate the gaming state after the special game is executed (if configured as such, the transition rate to the probability variation gaming state and / or the time shortening gaming state differs depending on the jackpot symbol It is desirable to configure it to In addition, when configured as such, in particular, during the probability variation gaming state, by the display color of suspension, the degree of anticipation to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the special game is executed in the case of a big hit in the suspension. By suggesting (for example, if the pending display color is red, the probability change expectation is high, if it is blue, the probability change expectation is low, etc.), the probability fluctuation gaming state advantageous to the player continues or ends. It is possible to perform an effective rendition.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the hold display mode changes, the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the display mode selected from the plurality of display modes of the hold. In addition, it may be configured to be able to execute a plurality of hold change effects (for example, trigger hold occurrence) during execution of pre-reading effect (from the timing of winning the pre-reading lottery to the end of fluctuation of the main gaming symbol pertaining to trigger hold) The hold display mode changes sometimes, and then the hold display mode changes again when the special button effect is generated, etc.). In this way, for example, when the hold display mode changes twice during the execution of the pre-reading effect (from the trigger hold to the end of the symbol variation related to the trigger hold), the first hold display If the display mode of the pending change that changes due to a change in the mode is blue, the display mode of the pending change that changes with the second change in the held display mode is green or red, that is, the pending display mode is It is desirable to configure to change (rank up) to a display mode with a high hit expectancy degree for every change (in order not to impair the player's sense of expectation). In addition, the special button effect may be configured not to be executed when the hold display mode with the highest degree of big hit expectation is reached (for example, rainbow color) by the change of the first hold display mode (the hold display is more than this) There is no point in changing the aspect). In addition, since the button effect is configured to be executed at various timings during symbol variation, it is easy to configure the special button effect to be executed based on the occurrence of a new hold during symbol variation (for example, a button The effect execution timing is 15 seconds after the start of the change, and when the hold is newly generated 5 seconds after the start of the change, the special button effect can be executed for the new hold), the player is symbol It is possible to have expectations for the execution of the special button effect (always) at almost all timing during the fluctuation time.

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of No at Step 2752, at Step 2766, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the variation pattern group of the symbol variation is Group 3 or Group It is determined whether it is C (a variation mode group in which the average value of the variation time is the longest). In the case of Yes in step 2766, in step 2768, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n executes a button effect execution lottery that will be won with a predetermined probability (1/3 in this example). Next, in step 2770, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the lottery result and determines whether or not the lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2770, in step 2772 the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n determines the display relating to the button effect as the normal button image. In this example, the button effect in which the normal button image is displayed is the normal button effect. Next, in step 2774, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n determines the normal button effect execution timing (determines which timing of the variation the button effect effective time and the button effect execution time are). In this example, the button effect (normal button effect, special button effect) can be executed at a plurality of timings in symbol variation. Next, in step 2776, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n is within the button input effective time (in this example, 5 seconds, shorter than 3 seconds which is the shortest variation time when referring to the limited frequency table 2) To determine the cut-in effect contents (a plurality of cut-in effects having different degrees of jackpot expectation are provided) to be executed when the sub input button SB is pressed, and the next process (the process of step 2710) Transition. Also in the case of No at step 2753, step 2766 or step 2770, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2710). As described above, in the present embodiment, the button effect includes the normal button effect and the special button effect, and in the normal button effect, only the cut-in effect is executed when the sub input button SB is pressed within the button effective time. In contrast to being performed, in the special button effect, when the sub input button SB is pressed within the button effective time, the cut-in effect and the effect of changing the hold display mode are configured to be executed. Is an effect capable of changing a plurality of effect elements. Further, in the present example, the special button effect can be performed at all timings at which the button effect can be performed, and the player can use the special button (not the normal button effect) for all the button effects. It will be possible to have an expectation that the presentation will be performed. In addition, although the button effect is configured to have a plurality of effect modes and effect execution timings, when the special button effect is executed in any of those effect modes and timings, the symbol variation being executed is It is configured to have two roles of the suggestion of the degree of expectation to be a big hit and the change of the hold display mode (the meaning that the special button effect is displayed is common).

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, at step 2802, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2806, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on a symbol variation flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2809, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the dressing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2810. Also in the case of No at step 2802, the process proceeds to step 2810.

  Next, at step 2810, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol variation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2810, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the dressing fluctuation time management timer SM 21t in step 2811. Next, in step 2812, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the variation start timing of the decorative symbol based on the dressing variation time management timer SM21t and the variation mode temporarily stored in the dressing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether it has reached. In the case of Yes in step 2812, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the variation display command of the decorative symbol in step 2814 (sent to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control processing of step 2999). , Shift to step 2824.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2812, at step 2816, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 is a decoration based on the dressing fluctuation time management timer SM21t and the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) of the symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2816, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the decorative symbol in step 2818 (in the display command transmission control process of step 2999, the sub sub control unit SS side And sent to step 2824).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2816, at step 2820, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25) changes the drawing fluctuation time management timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and reach effect). Based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the related information temporary storage means SM 25 b), it is determined whether or not the display timing of the advance notice image or the reach image has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2820, in step 2822, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25) sets an image display command related to the notice image or the reach image (display command transmission control process in step 2999). , And transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to step 2824. Also in the case of No at step 2820, the process proceeds to step 2824.

  Next, in step 2824, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the dressing variation time management timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and determines whether or not the button effect execution timing has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2824, a button effect execution process to be described later is executed in step 2850, and the process shifts to step 2830. On the other hand, if No in step 2824, the process goes to step 2830.

  Next, at step 2830, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines whether or not the main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, with reference to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, the main game from the main control board M side It is determined whether or not the information indicating that the symbol is stopped and displayed is received). In the case of Yes in step 2830, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative symbol in step 2831 (sent to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control processing of step 2999) Be done). Next, in step 2832, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the dressing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2834, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2900) Do. Also in the case of No at step 2810 or step 2830, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2490).

  Next, FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the button effect execution process according to the subroutine of step 2850 in FIG. First, at step 2852, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n refers to the main information temporary storage means SM 11 b and determines whether or not the symbol change is a change for which the normal button effect is performed. In the case of Yes in step 2852, in step 2854, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n displays a normal button effect. Next, in step 2856, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the sub input button SB has been pressed. If Yes in step 2856, in step 2858, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n erases the displayed normal button image, executes the determined cut-in effect, and shifts to step 2864. On the other hand, if No in step 2856, in step 2860, the notice effect display content determining means SM 24 n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM 24 b, and does the button input valid time (5 seconds in this example) end? It is determined whether or not. If Yes in step 2860, in step 2862, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n erases the displayed normal button image, and proceeds to step 2864.

  Next, in step 2864, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n ends the button effect in the symbol change (the button effect execution timing in the symbol change ends), and the next process (step 2830) Move to). Also in the case of No in step 2860, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2830).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2852, at step 2866, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n displays a special button image. Next, in step 2868, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the sub input button SB has been pressed. In the case of Yes in step 2868, in step 2869, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n erases the displayed special button image, and executes the determined cut-in effect. Next, in step 2870, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n displays the hold in the determined after-change hold display mode (for example, the hold display mode changes from white to red), and proceeds to step 2876 . On the other hand, if No in step 2868, in step 2872, the notice effect display content determining means SM 24 n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM 24 b, and does the button input valid time (5 seconds in this example) end? It is determined whether or not. If YES in step 2872, the special button image displayed is erased in step 2874, and the process shifts to step 2876.

  Next, in step 2876, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n ends the button effect in the symbol change (the button effect execution timing in the symbol change ends), and the next process (step 2830) Move to). Also in the case of No at step 2872, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2830). In the present embodiment, when the special button effect is executed, the hold display mode is always changed by pressing the sub input button SB. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special button effect is When the sub-input button SB is pressed at the time of execution, an effect (so-called squeeze effect) may be provided in which the on-hold display mode does not change. In addition, if the special button effect is executed, the normal button effect is performed by showing to the player that the normal button effect is executed (for example, after the inclining effect which is likely to change from the normal button image to the special button image is performed, Instead, a normal button image may be displayed.

  Next, FIG. 39 is a button effect execution image figure. In the same figure, it is illustrated about one change of the main game design. First, the operation when the normal button effect and the button effect are executed 5 seconds after the start of fluctuation will be described in detail. The normal button effect is executed 5 seconds after the start of the change during the symbol change of the three states and the non-time shortening gaming state of the suspension. The cut-in effect is executed by pressing the sub input button SB during execution of the normal button effect (during button input valid time). After that, the reach effect is executed and the effect relating to the symbol variation is executed. Next, the operation in the case where the special button effect and the button effect are executed 5 seconds after the start of fluctuation will be described in detail. The special button effect is executed 5 seconds after the start of the change during the symbol change of the three states and the non-time shortening gaming state of the suspension. By pressing the sub input button SB while the special button effect is being executed (during button input valid time), the cut-in effect is executed and the pending display mode of the pending trigger changes. After that, the reach effect is executed and the effect relating to the symbol variation is executed.

  Next, the operation when the normal button effect and the button effect are executed 10 seconds after the start of fluctuation will be described in detail. Temporary stop (non reach) with different symbols of left symbol and right symbol 10 seconds after fluctuation start during fluctuation of symbols in 3 states and non-time shortening gaming state with 3 suspension, normal button effect is executed immediately after . The cut-in effect is executed by pressing the sub input button SB during execution of the normal button effect (during button input valid time). After that, the left symbol and the right symbol are temporarily stopped with the same symbol, reach effect is executed, and the effect relating to the symbol variation will be executed. Next, the operation when the special button effect and the button effect are executed 10 seconds after the start of fluctuation will be described in detail. Temporary stop (non reach) with different symbols of left symbol and right symbol 10 seconds after the start of fluctuation in the symbol change of three states and non-time shortening gaming state with three suspension, special button effect is executed immediately after . By pressing the sub input button SB while the special button effect is being executed (during button input valid time), the cut-in effect is executed and the pending display mode of the pending trigger changes. After that, the left symbol and the right symbol are temporarily stopped with the same symbol, reach effect is executed, and the effect relating to the symbol variation will be executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the button effect can be performed at various timings during symbol variation, and the normal button effect can be performed by pressing the sub input button SB during the button input valid time. Only the cut-in effect is executed (only one type of effect is executed), the special button effect is a cut-in effect and a hold on hold of the trigger by pressing the sub input button SB during the button input valid time Two types of effects with a change in display mode will be executed, and even when a button effect is executed, the button input effective time depends on whether the button effect to be executed is a normal button effect or a special button effect. The number of types of effects generated by pressing the sub input button SB is different. Moreover, in this embodiment, although it is comprised so that only 1 trigger hold may exist, it is not limited to this, it comprises so that two or more can exist simultaneously, and several hold is carried out by one special button effect. You may comprise so that the pending | holding display aspect of may change. Further, the special button effect may be configured not to be executed when the jackpot expectation of the symbol variation is high (for example, when the variation is a jackpot variation).

  Next, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of special game related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2900 in FIG. First, at step 2902, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether the special game in progress flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2902, in step 2904, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2904, in step 2910, the background effect display control unit SM23 adds 1 (increment) to the value of the number-of-times counter SM23c2. Next, in step 2912 and step 2914, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the big hit on the effect display device SG The start display is performed (the display is appropriately performed based on the type of the big hit), and the process shifts to step 2916. Also in the case of No at step 2902, the process proceeds to step 2916.

  Next, in step 2916, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of wins on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side (gaming or big hit It may be performed as needed based on the type etc.). Next, in step 2918, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the number-of-times counter SM23c2 and determines whether the counter value is equal to or more than a predetermined value (for example, 10). In the case of Yes in step 2918, in step 2922, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command related to the display of the ending effect (effect that can be executed in the special game in which the number of times counter value has reached a predetermined value). Proceed to step 2926. On the other hand, if No in step 2918, the background effect display control unit SM23 sets a command relating to the big hit in progress in step 2924, and shifts to step 2926. The condition under which the ending effect is executed is not limited to this, and, for example, the number of consecutive units in a specific game, the total number of winning balls obtained in consecutive units, all types of specific effects, etc. Alternatively, it may be configured to be executed when a plurality of combinations of conditions are satisfied.

  By configuring in this way, it is possible to make special the effect to be displayed during the big hit based on the number of consecutive hits of the big hit (considered as continuous unless the counter SM23c2 is cleared) It is configured as follows.

  Next, in step 2926, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2926, in step 2928, the background effect display control means SM23 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device SG (performs an appropriate display based on the type of the big hit). Next, in step 2930, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special game in progress flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2999). . Also in the case of No in step 2904 or step 2926, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2999).

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when transmitting the command related to the remaining limited frequency frequency, the command related to MODE data and the command related to EVENT data once each When transmitting the command concerning the remaining number of definite variations and the remaining number of short times, by transmitting the command related to MODE data and the command related to EVENT data twice each, the number of all staying fluctuations is The command related to the remaining limited frequency number which is within 127 times can be transmitted by one time which is the minimum required command transmission number, and it relates to the remaining certain variation number and remaining time short number whose fluctuation number to stay is 128 times or more. The command transmits the command related to MODE data and the command related to EVENT data twice each, and the sub control board Can recognize the number of more than 128 times by combining the commands related to the EVENT data on the side, it becomes possible to minimum and appropriate transmission and reception of commands capable gaming machine.

(Modification 1 from the present embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the EVENT data when transmitting a command relating to the remaining number of confirmed variations and the remaining number of short occurrences uses the most significant bit as an identification bit, and the remaining 7 bits are information related to the remaining number of confirmed variations and the remaining present number of occurrences. However, the command transmission mode is not limited to this, and the configuration of the present embodiment can be realized as other command contents. Therefore, such a configuration is taken as a first modification of the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 41 is an example of the number of remaining certain variations and the number of remaining short time commands in the first modification of the embodiment. The point of change from the present embodiment is that the EVENT data is provided with order data, and the EVENT data indicates which command the most significant bit is an identification bit and the upper second bit and third bit are. It is an order bit. In addition, the lower 5 bits of the EVENT data are bits relating to the remaining number of definite variations and the remaining number of times. By this configuration, numerical information that can be transmitted by one EVENT data is reduced to 5 bits, but the order of transmitted MODE data and EVENT data can be simply determined. In the event of an error, it is possible to configure such that serious problems are less likely to occur.

  Next, FIG. 42 is a command combined image diagram in the first modification from the present embodiment. The point of change from the present embodiment is that the bits relating to the numerical information in the EVENT data are 5 bits by providing the order bit in the EVENT data. The order bit of the first EVENT data is “01”, and the bit related to the numerical information of the first EVENT data is “00101”. Also, the order bit of the second EVENT data is “00”, and the bit related to the numerical information of the second EVENT data is “10101”. The secondary control board S has the remaining number of definite variations by combining bits related to the numerical information of the two transmitted ENENT data to form a 10-bit bit string of “0010110101” and converting from binary to decimal. Would be recognized as 181 times. In the first modification of this embodiment, the event data (second EVENT data) transmitted last in the order bit is “00”, and thus the number of transmissions is different. Even when there are various data (even when there is information to be transmitted in 3 times of EVENT data and information to be transmitted in 4 times of EVENT data), the last order bit is "00". As an example of the order bit in the case of transmitting four times of EVENT data, it becomes possible to be a gaming machine with uniform specifications (it is easy to ensure that all commands can be transmitted without missing). The 1st: “11”, 2nd: “10”, 3rd: “01”, 4th: “00”). In addition, as a configuration example of a gaming machine in which various data having different numbers of transmissions exist, for example, when the maximum value of the number of probability variations (initial value set in the probability variation number counter MP51c) is 200, the remaining number of probability variations If the value is 200 to 32 times, MODE data and EVENT data are transmitted twice each, and if the remaining number of definite variations is 31 times or less, MODE data and EVENT data are transmitted once each time, etc. Alternatively, the command transmission frequency may be different (for example, it may be different depending on the remaining probability variation count) for commands relating to one type of numerical information (for example, the remaining probability variation count).

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, the numerical information that can be transmitted as one event data is 5 bits by providing the order bit in the EVENT data. Although it will be reduced to a minute, the order of transmitted MODE data and EVENT data can be simply determined, and it is possible to configure so that serious problems do not easily occur when an error occurs during command transmission. It will be possible.

  As a command transmission mode according to this example, for example, when transmitting a command relating to MODE data relating to the remaining number of definite variations, the first MODE data is set to "06H" and the second MODE data is set to "07H", The MODE data may be configured to include data representing the order of the number of times of data, or may be configured to be transmitted in the order of “MODE data → EVENT data representing order → EVENT data representing numerical information”. It is also good. Also, assuming that the first EVENT data is “11111111” (127 times) and the second EVENT data is “10110110” (54 times), the EVENT data sent twice is used as numerical information on the sub control board S side. It is possible to recognize and then add the two numerical value information on the sub control board S side to recognize the remaining number of definite variations and the remaining number of shorting times (in the above example, 127 + 54 = 181).
