Description

  It is about a pachinko game machine.

  The pachinko game machine that is most widely spread at present is called "special symbol" (or main game symbol) on the display unit such as 7-segment when the game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). Symbol is variably displayed, and when the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the special gaming state in which the player has a higher profit state than the normal gaming state {the special winning opening in the closed state at the normal time It is a model of a type (so-called "first-class pachinko gaming machine") that shifts to a game of contents opened by a predetermined condition (a so-called attacker). Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of the special symbol directly linked to the player's profit, it is called "decorative symbol" for effect to enhance the interest of the game separately from the "special symbol" described above. The symbol to be displayed is displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in synchronization with the variation of the special symbol. Then, when the variation of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also begins to change accordingly, and when the special symbol is stopped in a specific mode (for example, "7"), the decorative symbol is also according to this, a predetermined mode (for example, It will stop at "777". Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game is determined by the decorative symbol being stopped in a predetermined manner.

  Here, since the mechanism is common to this type of pachinko gaming machine, how to devise a high level of interest with regard to overall production including the variation pattern of the above-mentioned pattern, in order to differentiate from other types. It is focused on whether to grant. For example, in the situation where the variable display of "special symbol" can not be started, it has a function to hold the variable display with the game ball entering the starting opening as a trigger, and the game contents at the time of the reserve digestion are made in advance. The method (so-called reservation pre-reading effect) which improves the interest of the game by constituting informing or suggesting is one of them.

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 "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 first main game start slot entry ball determination means MJ11-A and the second main game start slot The second main game start slot entrance ball determining means MJ11-B to determine whether the game ball has entered the ball B10, and the auxiliary game start slot to determine whether the game ball has flowed into the auxiliary game start slot H10 In the first large winning opening entrance judging means MJ11-C10, and the second large winning opening C20, it is determined whether or not the game ball has entered the first large winning opening C10. It has 2nd big winning a prize entrance ball determination means MJ11-C20 which determines whether a game ball entered a ball.

  Next, the random number acquisition determination execution means MJ20 determines whether or not to acquire the first main game side random number based on the entry of the game ball to the first main game start opening A10, and according to the determination result To the first main game random number acquisition judgment execution means MJ 21-A which acquires a random number (for example, the first winning random number, the first variation mode determination random number, the first main game symbol determination random number, etc.) and the second main game start opening B10 It is determined whether to acquire the second main game random number based on the entry of the game ball, and the random number (for example, the second winning random number, the second variation mode determination random number, the second main according to the determination result The second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B to acquire the game pattern determination random number etc.), and whether to acquire the auxiliary gaming side selected random number, it is determined whether or not the auxiliary game for acquiring the random number based on the determination result And RJ random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-H There.

  Here, “the random number” in the claims and the present specification including the above includes, for example, “0” to “65535” or “assigned according to the type of random number (for example, winning random number or variation mode determination random number) It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as “0” to “255”. The random number is not limited to a mathematically generated random number, and may be a pseudo random number generated by hardware random number, software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method (plus one method) in which the values are sequentially expressed along the random number sequence, the next value when the final value of the random number sequence is expressed (initial value There may be mentioned a method (initial value update method) in which)) is determined by a value having chance, a combination of these, and the like. By acquiring random numbers in this manner, it is possible to generate non-periodic random numbers that are unlikely to be expected by the player. Conversely, for example, in the case of the method of generating the next random number using the random number used in a certain lottery, the next random number is likely to be predicted. Therefore, when generating a random number, it is preferable to generate a new random number without using the random number used in the previous lottery.

  Next, the hold control means MJ30 controls the process related to the hold digest and the change start, and the first main game random number obtained in the situation where the first main game symbol change permission has not been lowered. It is determined whether or not to temporarily store, and the first main game symbol holding means MJ32 for holding the random number on the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-A until the symbol variation permission is obtained based on the judgment result. It is determined whether or not to temporarily store the second main gaming side random number acquired in a situation where the second main gaming symbol variation permission has not been lowered, and based on the determination result, the symbol variation permission is given to the random number. The second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B for holding in the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B, and the auxiliary game obtained in the situation where the auxiliary game symbol variation permission has not come down Auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H for determining whether or not to temporarily store a random number, and holding the random number on the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H based on the determination result until the symbol variation permission is obtained.

  From here, an example of the flow of a general process in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described using a flowchart. The flowchart mainly includes processing steps (shown as rectangles), judgments (shown as diamonds), flow lines (arrows), and terminals (shown as rounded rectangles) indicating start / end / return etc. . Also, in the case where the details of the processing steps are illustrated in another flowchart, those referring to the other flowchart are illustrated as a subroutine (shown as a rectangle in which the left and right lines are double lines). . Here, at the development stage of the gaming machine, it is also carried out to simultaneously develop gaming machines with different specifications, but in this example, the subroutine executed by the gaming machines with different specifications in the processing on the main side ( It is configured so as not to leave a subroutine not normally used, and prevents processing relating to an unused subroutine that is not normally executed due to noise or cheating.

  First, FIG. 5 is a main flow chart showing a flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After the game machine is powered on, the process of FIG. That is, after power on of the gaming machine, after performing initialization (not shown), the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button in step 1002, and resets the power supply unit E reset button (RAM clear It is determined whether or not the manager of the game arcade has intentionally performed an operation to clear the contents of the RAM. 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) At this timing, a command may be set and may be configured to be transmitted in a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, 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. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at the corresponding timing, or the command is set at the corresponding timing to be described later. It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by a scheduled execution interrupt (for example, a hardware interrupt every about 1.5 ms) related to the main processing on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt cycle is allowed to be T) {as a result, when the execution fixed interrupt timing is reached, the diagram (b) is executed}, and the process proceeds to step 1018. . After the step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number updating processes (for example, an increment process of the random number counter) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

In addition, it is preferable that the initial value of the temporary storage area (RAM, etc.) mounted on the main control board M is configured not to be a value at which the special game is executed. By doing this, in order to prevent the special game from being erroneously executed when the processing for determining the execution of the special game is executed).

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the processing of FIG. 7B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt cycle T (for example, a hardware interrupt every approximately 1.5 ms), at step 1100, the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1200, the main control board M executes a motorized product drive determination process described later. Next, in step 1300, the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, at step 1400, the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1500, the main control board M executes a special game operating condition determination process described later. Next, at step 1600, the main control board M executes special game control processing described later. Next, in step 1910, the main control board M (especially the winning ball payout determination means MH) performs a winning ball payout control process (drive control of the winning ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening on which the gaming ball has won. A process for causing the payout control board KH to execute and managing the result is executed. Next, in step 1920, the main control board M executes output processing of an external signal (output of information to an external terminal board, a hall computer HC or the like). Next, in step 1930, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (sends the command set in each process described above to the sub main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. It returns to the processing which had been done. In the control command transmission process, the order in which the sub main control unit SM receives the commands is important (for example, the process is normally executed by receiving another command after receiving a certain command) Since there is a case, the command is configured to be transmitted in the order in which the main control board M determines to transmit the command (in the order in which the command is set).

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

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, at step 1102, the auxiliary game start opening ball determination means MJ11-H determines whether or not the game ball has entered the auxiliary game start port H10 (flow in, in the case of a gate, passage). In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21 -H refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32 b -H, and the hold ball is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces) Determine if In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-H acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ 32-H holds the holding ball in the form of setting the random number in the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32b-H together with the information indicating the number of the second holding. Is incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). Also in the case of No in step 1102 or step 1104, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200).

Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the motorized prize drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, at step 1202, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H and the electric combination open flag is off. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H and determines whether or not the auxiliary gaming symbol fluctuation flag is off. Do. If Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ32-H accesses the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32b-H, and determines whether or not there is a holding ball regarding the auxiliary gaming symbol . In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary gaming symbol determination means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H and refers to the gaming state on the auxiliary gaming side (flag state of auxiliary game time short flag). While acquiring, with reference to the lottery table MN41ta-H for auxiliary game symbol determination, the stop design is decided on the basis of the game state of the said auxiliary game side and the auxiliary game symbol random number which is based on the retention sphere (for example, auxiliary game time short flag Is selected, the winning symbol is selected with high probability as compared to the case where it is turned off), and the temporary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H is temporarily stored. Next, at step 1218, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H is based on the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (the auxiliary gaming time short flag flag state), the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-C of the auxiliary gaming symbol A predetermined time relating to the fluctuation time (for example, 5 seconds when the auxiliary game time short flag is on, and 30 seconds when the auxiliary game time short flag is off) is set. Then, in step 1220, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary gaming symbol variation flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the holding information recorded in the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the holding ball relating to the auxiliary gaming symbol. At the same time, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-H, and then starts the variation display of the auxiliary gaming symbol on the auxiliary gaming symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, at step 1224, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-C and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary gaming symbol has been reached. Do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary gaming symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H in step 1226 to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary gaming symbol, and the acquired auxiliary The stop symbol of the game symbol is fixedly displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. Then, at step 1228, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary gaming symbol variation flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, at step 1230, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close condition determination means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is "hit". In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B is the second main game based on the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (flag state of auxiliary game time short flag) A predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds if the auxiliary game time short flag is on, 0.5 if the auxiliary game time short flag is off, for example, the auxiliary game time short flag is on) Set the second). Next, at step 1234, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B turns on the electric combination open flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, in step 1236, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B opens the second main game start opening electric combination B11d. Next, in step 1238, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start opening electric combination open timer MP22t-B, at the open time of the electric combination. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in step 1240 and step 1242, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B closes the second main game start opening electric combination B11 d and the auxiliary gaming state is temporary. In the flag area of the storage means MB10-H, the motorized part open flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1300).

If NO in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1238. If NO in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224. If NO in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230, or step 1238, the next process is performed. It transfers to (the 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 1312, the hold control means MJ 30 determines in advance the hold pre-reading group of the stored hold based on the gaming state and the hold information (random number for determining variation mode).

  Here, the hold pre-reading group is a group that distinguishes whether or not the pre-reading effect is to be executed when the sub main control unit SM determines whether or not the pre-reading effect is executable. In this example, the change mode relating to the hold in which the hold prefetch group is group 1 (group A) is a fluctuation time of a relatively short time (for example, 15 seconds or less), and the hold prefetch group is group 3 (group C) The fluctuation mode related to the hold is a relatively long time (for example, 60 seconds or more) fluctuation time, and the fluctuation mode related to the hold where the reservation look-ahead group is group 1 is a relatively medium time (eg, 15) More than 60 seconds and less than 60 seconds). Also, in the variation mode determination lottery table in the case where the success / failure result is a loss, the variation mode relating to suspension where the suspension pre-reading group is group 1 (group A) is the case where the number of reservations at the start of variation is large (2 to In the case of 3), compared with the case where the number of reservations is small (0 to 1), the relative change time is relatively short, and the reservation prefetch group is group 2 (group B) and group 3 (group C) The fluctuation mode related to a certain hold will be determined regardless of the number of holds at the start of the change. In the present embodiment, the pre-reading effect can be executed only for the holding of the group 3 which has a relatively long fluctuation time regardless of the number of reservations at the start of fluctuation (pending pre-reading group See the main gaming table 3 of FIG. Note that, from then on, holding (or changing) the group N (N is a number) pending prefetching group is simply called holding (or changing) the group N (for example, holding the group 1, holding the group 2, holding the group 3 Change, etc.).

  Next, at step 1324, the hold control means MJ30 sends a command related to the new hold generation (a hold generation command of the first main game content determination random number, a command related to the hold prefetch group information, etc.) to the sub main control unit SM. 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 1930).

  Next, in step 1326, the second main game start slot entrance ball determining means MJ11-B receives the second main game start slot entrance ball 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 1326, in step 1328, 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, 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 1328, in step 1330, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-B acquires a second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, similarly to the first main game content determination means, three random numbers of success lottery random number, symbol lottery random number, and 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 1332, 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 holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-B. . Next, in step 1334, the hold control means MJ 30 determines in advance the hold pre-reading group of the stored hold based on the gaming state and the hold information (random number for determination of fluctuation mode).

  Next, at step 1336, the hold control means MJ30 sends to the sub main control unit SM a command relating to a new hold generation (a hold generation command of a second main game content determination random number, a command concerning a hold prefetch group information, etc.) 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 1930), and the process proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 1400). If NO in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1326. If NO in step 1326 or step 1328, the process proceeds to the next process (process in 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 1332, 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.

  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 32b-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 shifts to the next process (the process of step 1500). 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 shifts to the next process (the process of step 1500).

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 established. 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 MJ31 is set to the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-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 32b-B) is deleted, and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding and digesting processing). 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. Further, in the present embodiment, although a case in which the game state can not be shifted (so-called small hit) is not illustrated, a small hit may be generated (a small hit is won).

  Next, at step 141-2, the first main game symbol determination means MN41-A (the second main game symbol determination means MN41-B) is a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (the second main game). With reference to the symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), it relates to the main gaming symbol based on the main gaming symbol equality 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 2R for 4A and 5A, 8R for 4B and 5B, and 16R for 7A and 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. If a specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the type and / or selection rate of the variation mode of the main gaming symbol may be different from that before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed (limited frequency state). May be configured to migrate}. Also, after the special game according to the "4A" symbol ends, it shifts to the non-probability fluctuation / non-time shortening gaming state, and after the special game according to the "5A" symbol ends, it shifts to the probability fluctuation / non-time shortening gaming state, In either case, substantially the same effect is performed. As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether the special game relating to the "4A" symbol or the "5A" symbol or the big hit symbol has been executed (it creates a so-called latent state), and improves the fun of the game. It will be.

  Next, in step 141-03, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (the second main game variation mode determination means MN51-B) is a lottery for determining the first main game variation mode corresponding to each gaming state. With reference to the table MN51ta-A (the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B), the main gaming symbol acceptance lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (the second main game content determination random number) (especially, variation The variation mode of the main game symbols is determined based on the random selection pattern random number), and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern (variation time) of the main gaming symbol is determined based on the main lottery symbol result of the main gaming symbol, the main gaming time short flag status and the number of reservations at the start of the variation. Are configured to In other words, if the main lottery game lottery result is a hit, it is easy to determine the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively long, and if the main game time short flag is on (time saving game state) relative The fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is short is easy to be determined, and the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively short compared to the case where the number of reservations is 0 to 1 when the number of reservations is 2 to 3 Is configured so that it is easy to determine (only at the time of losing). In addition, this example is an example to the last, and it is not limited at all by the kind of a stop symbol, selection rate, etc. 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.

In addition, as shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, it is configured that the reservation prefetch group is determined by the variation mode determination random number. If the change time of the first main game pattern (the second main game pattern) is a short time (in the present example, the change time is 15 seconds or less), the pending look-ahead group is placed in the first group 1 (group A). Group 3 (group C) when the variation time of the 1 main game symbol (the second main game symbol) is a long time (in this example, the variation time is 60 seconds or more) without depending on the number of reservations at the start of the variation ), If the variation time of the first main gaming symbol (the second main gaming symbol) is a relatively medium variation time (more than 15 seconds and less than 60 seconds in this example), group 2 (Group B) is configured to be determined. In the present embodiment, in the random number range corresponding to group 1 (group A) in the fluctuation mode determination lottery table in the case where the success or failure result is a loss, the fluctuation time (and effect mode) is suspended at the start of fluctuation It may be different depending on the number, that is, the fluctuation time (and presentation mode) is configured to be indeterminate until the reserve digestion time. In the present embodiment, only the hold determined to the group 3 (group C) can be a hold (trigger hold) serving as a trigger for generating the prefetch effect. In addition, the suspension which can be the suspension (trigger suspension) which becomes an opportunity to generate the pre-reading effect is not limited only to the suspension of the group 3 (group C), and the suspension of the group 2 (group B) is also an opportunity to generate the pre-reading effect May be configured to be able to be on hold (trigger on hold). When configured as such, holding of group 3 (group C) is more likely to be holding (trigger holding) that triggers prefetch effect than holding of group 2 (group B). Configuration is desirable.

  Next, in step 1414, the game content determination means MN temporarily changes the symbol variation display start instruction command (stop symbol information, attribute information of stop symbol) temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Set the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM the information related to the determined main gaming symbol such as fluctuation mode information etc. and the command related to the current gaming state (control command transmission in step 1930) The processing is sent to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1416, 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 1417, 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). In accordance with the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C on the second main game symbol display portion B21g), the variable display of the main game symbol is started. Next, in step 1418, 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 refer to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C and change. 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 1500).

  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 1930). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display area 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, at step 1428, 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 1432, 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 MB 20b. On the other hand, if No in step 1430, step 1432 is skipped.

  Next, in step 1450, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1500). Also in the case of No at step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means MP
Reference numeral 50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1470, the specific game control means MP 50 refers to the value of the time reduction number counter MP 52 c and determines whether the counter value is larger than 0 or not. In the case of Yes in step 1470, in step 1472 the specific game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the count value of the time reduction number counter MP52c. Next, at step 1474, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c to determine whether the counter value (remaining time reduction number) is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1474, in steps 1476 and 1478, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game time short flag and the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Processing (processing of step 1500). Also in the case of No in step 1452, step 1470 or step 1474, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of special game operating condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, 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. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1514, the special game control means MP30 is in the flag area of the special 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, at step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time saving number counter MP52c. Next, at step 1520, the special game control means MP30 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1522, 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 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 15 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 1930, the process is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side, 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 1910).

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 means MP33 opens the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b in the opening pattern (the stop symbol of the main game symbol is In the case of 4A or 5A, an opening pattern of “0.2 seconds open → 1.0 seconds closed → 0.2 seconds open → closed”, and when the stop symbol of the main game symbol is 7A, 4B, 5B or 7B, “29 Set the open pattern) 0 seconds open → closed. 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 big winning opening electric combination C11d (or the second large winning opening electric combination C21d) of the first large winning opening C10 to make a first large winning combination. The mouth C10 (or the second large winning opening C20) is opened, a predetermined time (for example, 29 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 1930). 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, 29 seconds) related to opening 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 1910).

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 process of step 1930 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 1910). Also in the case of No at step 1634, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 16 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 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probability change big hit symbol (probability fluctuation gaming state after the end of special game execution) It is a jackpot symbol to shift, and in this example, it is determined whether or not 5A, 5B, 7A, 7B). If Yes in step 1652, 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, and proceeds to step 1656. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1652, ie, the stop symbol is a big hit symbol which does not shift to the probability variation gaming state after the termination of the special game, the step also in the case of 4A · 4B). Migrate to 1656.

  Next, in step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probability change / time / short / big hit symbol (probability fluctuation after the end of special game execution) It is a jackpot symbol to shift to the gaming state and the time shortening gaming state, and in this example, it is determined whether or not 5B, 7A, 7B). If Yes in step 1656, then the process moves to step 1666. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1656, in step 1658, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is non-probability change, hour and time big hit symbol (special It is a big hit symbol which shifts to the non-probability fluctuation gaming state and the time shortening gaming state after the end of execution of the game, and in this example, it is determined whether or not it is 4B). If YES in step 1658, in step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 sets the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c a predetermined number of times (50 times in this example), and proceeds to step 1666. On the other hand, if No in step 1658, in step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a latent probability variation big hit symbol (non-probability fluctuation When the jackpot is won when the gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, the gaming state after the big hit end becomes the probability variation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state, while the non-probability variation gaming state and non-time If the jackpot is won if the jackpot is not in the shortened gaming state, the gaming state after the big hit is a jackpot symbol of probability fluctuation gaming state and time shortening gaming state, in this example, whether or not it is 5A) judge. In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and the gaming state at the time of the big hit that triggered the special game ended is a probability change It is determined whether or not the gaming state. If Yes in step 1664, then the process moves to step 1666.

  Next, in step 1666 and step 1668, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game time short flag and the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and performs the next process (step (Processing of 1910). Also in the case of No in step 1662 or step 1664, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1910).

Next, control processing executed on the sub main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart 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). Next, in step 2003, the sub main control unit SM restores the number of reservations (for example, the drawing suspension counter value) based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side). In addition, the information related to the rendering or the pre-reading effect that is being executed is not restored (and the information related to the pending content is not retransmitted from the main side, and the "under preparation" screen is displayed until the start of the next fluctuation Do. By configuring in this way, when a power failure occurs when the background effect to be described later is “Angel zone background”, the information stored on the sub side is lost. After the return of, there is no information indicating that the trigger is on hold, and the background rendering is changed from "Angel zone background" to other background rendering (background rendering such as a flat stage etc. described later). As a result, when there is a conflict between the hold information stored on the main side and the hold information stored on the sub side due to a power failure (for example, due to a power failure or noise upon power failure recovery) Also, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the zone effect of high expectation is executed on the sub side while the main expectation is fluctuating with low expectation. In addition, the process after the restoration of the power interruption is not limited to this, and even after the restoration of the power interruption, the information to the effect of the trigger suspension stored immediately before the occurrence of the power interruption is restored as background effect The angel zone background may be configured to be maintained. In such a configuration, for example, a save area where information can be maintained even during power failure is provided on the sub side, and information related to effects is backed up to the save area when a power failure occurs, and power failure recovery It may be configured to restore the information backed up from time to time. In addition, it is configured to receive information related to the content of the hold from the main side again at the time of power failure recovery, at the start of fluctuation, at the time of fluctuation stop, and at the time of hold occurrence Although it is preferable {not shown in this example, the main side transmits only the information related to the number of reservations (the information related to the content of the suspension is not transmitted) at the time of power failure recovery. . Therefore, the information relating to the suspension that was present at the time of the power failure does not exist after the power failure return, and therefore, it is not possible to execute the pre-reading effect (for example, pre-reading of fluctuation stop described later) for the suspension ( In addition, it is comprised so that the information which concerns on holding | maintenance from the main side may be received at the time of a power failure return, and you may be comprised so that pre-reading effect may be performed with respect to the said holding | maintenance). It should be noted that if a power failure occurs while the decorative symbol is fluctuating, if it does not have the function to maintain the information at the time of the power failure, it will turn dark until the end command of the fluctuation is received from the main side. A screen (for example, a screen displaying "under preparation" etc.) will be displayed}. In the present embodiment, switching background rendering to display “angel zone background” as background rendering may be described as transitioning to “angel zone”. Thereafter, the process shifts to loop processing in which (b), which is the repetitive processing routine of the sub main control unit SM, is repeatedly executed. Here, when (b) is executed, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM first performs a hold information management process described later in step 2100 as shown in the process of FIG. Run. Next, in step 2200, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decoration symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2400, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes special game related display control processing described later. Next, in step 2500, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a background effect control process described later. Next, in step 2600, 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 (S2100 to S2600) is looped after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 6C 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 the processing flow (c) when it is connected. 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. 18 is a flowchart of the pending information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and 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. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, 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 2106, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 holds the hold information (in particular, the random number value and the hold prefetching group information related to the main game symbol lottery) based on the hold generation command transmitted from the main control board M side. ) Is temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2150, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a prize pre-selection lottery to be described later, and proceeds to step 2118.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2102, in step 2110, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and 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 2110, in step 2112, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b. Next, in step 2114, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 holds the holding information (especially, the random number value and the holding pre-reading group information concerning the main gaming symbol lottery) related to the symbol change, the drawing hold information temporary storage means While deleting from SM22b, shift the remaining pending information. Next, in step 2116, 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 2118. Also in the case of No at step 2110, the process proceeds to step 2118.

  Next, in step 2118, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS on the effect display device SG (in particular, on the first hold display portion SG12, the second hold display portion SG13). The suspension display lamps of the same number as the drawing suspension counter value in the diagram suspension information temporary storage means SM22b are lit and displayed, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2200). There is no problem even if the first hold display unit SG12 and / or the second hold display unit SG13 and the decorative symbol display area SG11 overlap, in such a case, in the area where the display overlaps. It is sufficient that the player can visually recognize either the hold display or the display of the decorative symbol. Moreover, in this embodiment, although it is comprised so that a pending | holding display may be performed in 1st pending | holding display part SG12 and 2nd pending | holding display part SG13 on effect display apparatus SG, the said pending | holding display is limited to this. Alternatively, for example, separately from the effect display device SG, a lamp member dedicated to the suspension display controlled by the sub main control unit SM may be provided, and the suspension display may be performed by the lamp member, or the effect display device SG A second effect display device different from the second effect display device may be provided, and a hold display, an effect, or the like may be performed on the second effect display device.

Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the winning pre-reading determination process according to the subroutine of step 2150 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 2152, the reserve prefetch effect executability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22b, and does the second main game reserve not exist within the reserve? It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2152, in step 2154, the reserve pre-reading effect executability determination means SM 26k refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11 b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is the time shortening gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2154, in step 2156, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b, and the pending pre-reading group is group 3 pending before the new pending. Determine if it does not exist. If Yes in step 2156, in step 2158, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b and decides whether or not there is a trigger pending in the pending. Here, the trigger hold is a hold which is won in the prize look-up lottery or the variable stop look-up lottery to be described later, and is a hold as a transition trigger to an angel zone to be described later or a stop trigger of a special symbol. In the case of Yes in step 2158, in step 2160, the reserve pre-reading effect executability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22 b, and whether or not there is a pending big hit in the pending before the new pending Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2160, the process moves to step 2162.

  Next, in the process relating to the latter pre-reading lottery, first, in step 2162, the pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b, and the pending pre-reading group of the new pending is It is determined whether it is group 3 or not. In the case of Yes in step 2162, in step 2164, with respect to the new hold, the reserve pre-reading effect executability determination means SM 26k executes a prize-at-a-time read lottery which is won with a predetermined probability (1/6 in this example). Next, at step 2166, the pre-holding effect executability judging means SM26k determines whether or not the winning pre-selection lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 2166, in step 2168 the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k is “trigger pending” in the new hold winning in the prize pre-reading lottery in the drawing reserve 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 2118).

  On the other hand, if No at step 2152 (if there is a second main game hold in hold), then at step 2170, the hold prefetching effect executability judging means SM26k temporarily displays 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 2118). Also in the case of No at step 2154, step 2156, step 2158, step 2160, step 2162 or step 2166, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2118). In the processing of step 2170, 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.

Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, in step 2202, 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. In the case of Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the figure display content determination means SM21 n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21 b. Next, in step 2208, 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 a broken eye, such as "7, 7, 7," or the like, if it is a lost design, "1, 3, 5", etc.} and the variation mode {eg, pertaining to the main game pattern If the fluctuation mode is fluctuation for a short time, non-reach, and if it is fluctuation for a long time, normal reach or super reach etc.} is determined to display drawing-related information temporary storage means SM21b (and WARNING effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, temporarily stored in the reach demonstration related information temporary storage means SM25b).

  Next, in step 2216, the drawing display content determination means SM21n is a lottery for drawing fluctuation contents determination based on the result of the decorative symbol and the variation pattern of the decoration symbol temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means SM11b. The main effect content is determined with reference to the main effect table (for example, main effect table 1 to main effect table 3) in the table SM21 ta, and the display update timing and the display update content are set, and the drawing display related information temporary storage Temporarily store in the means SM21b. Next, in step 2250, the drawing display content determination means SM21n executes a notice effect / drawing stop symbol determination process to be described later. Next, in step 2218, 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 2300). Transition. Also in the case of No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  Here, FIG. 21 (main effect table 1) is the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM 21 ta (main effect table 1, particularly when the drawing variation mode is super reach), which is referred to in FIG. It is an example. As shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, the main game symbol success or failure results (shown in the left end row, in this example, "losing" or "big hit") and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol (left It is illustrated in the second column, and in this example, it is illustrated only in the case of “Super reach (total presentation time 60 seconds)” and acquired random number values (random numbers acquired on the sub main board side, and the left three columns) Based on the eyes and illustrated, the main effect contents (shown in the left fourth column, and in this example, "main effect A-1 (loss)", "main effect A-1 (big hit)", etc. ) Is configured to be able to determine. When the main effect contents are determined, the "display update timing" and the "display update content" can be uniquely determined. For example, if the main effect content = "main effect A-1 (loss)", then "display update content" = "display update content" = "graphic change" at "display update timing" = "at start of change (after 0 seconds)" It is determined that "start (all rows)" and "display update content" = "reach image display 1 (loss)" at "display update timing" = "after 6 seconds of fluctuation start". And as mentioned later, according to the elapsed time concerning the fluctuation time of a decorative symbol, the "display update content" which reached the "display update timing" will be performed one by one. In addition, it should be added that the effect pattern (a series of display contents) defined by “main effect A-1 (loss)” and the effect pattern defined by the names of other main effect contents are different. .

Here, in the present embodiment, so-called pseudo continuous variation is configured to be executable, and specifically, the main rendering contents "main rendering A-4 (loss) pseudo run 2" in this example, "main rendering" A-4 (loss) pseudo ream 3 "," main effect A-4 (big hit) pseudo ream 2 "," main effect A-4 (big hit) pseudo ream 3 ". For example, in the main effect content “main effect A-4 (loss) pseudo ream 2”, “display update content” = “display change start” (“display update timing” = “at start of change (after 0 seconds)”) "All rows" is executed, "Display update timing" = "4 seconds after start of change", "5 seconds after start of change", "6 seconds after start of change" The stop display (left row), the "printing temporary stop display (right row)", and the "printing temporary stop display (middle row)" are sequentially executed. Then, after “display update content” = “re-apparatus for pattern fluctuation restart (all rows)” is executed at “display update timing” = “7 seconds after start of change”, “display update timing” = “start of change 11” "After second", "after 12 seconds of fluctuation start", "display update content" = "display temporary stop display (left column)", "display temporary stop display (right column)" As a result of the sequential execution of the "pattern temporary stop display (middle row)", it appears to the player that a plurality of symbol variations have occurred as well. This repetition is an effect method called so-called pseudo continuous fluctuation, and in the main effect contents "main effect A-4 (loss) pseudo ream 2", after pseudo fluctuation is executed twice continuously, it is performed one more time. By performing this change, it seems that a total of three pattern changes have occurred.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when each simulated change is performed, it is possible to execute an advance notice effect that is an effect that is performed in conjunction with the symbol change and that indicates a big hit expectation degree and the like. For example, in the main effect content “main effect A-4 (loss) pseudo ream 2”, “display update content” = “display update timing” = “3 seconds after start of change” = “display update timing” = “simulative change 1st execution” “Notice effect 1-1” is executed, and “displayed update content” = “notice effect 1-2” is executed when “display update timing” = “10 seconds after the start of fluctuation” at the time of the second execution of the pseudo fluctuation ” Are configured to Also, in this variation, “display update content” = “notice effect 2” is executed at “display update timing” = “after 30 seconds after the start of variation”, “display update timing” = “after 45 seconds after the start of variation” In the above, “display update content” = “notice effect 3” is executed. The details of the notice image displayed at the time of execution of each notice effect will be described later. In this example, each display period of reach image displays 1 to 5 is configured to be different, and each display content of reach image displays 1 to 5 is also configured to be different. There is no limitation, and a part of the display content of each of the reach image displays 1 to 5 may be configured to be the same (for example, a part of the same reach such as short reach, middle reach, long reach, etc.) The display periods of each of the reach image displays 1 to 5 may be configured to be the same (in this case, the display period is not 60 seconds uniformly but more than 60 seconds).

  Next, FIG. 22 (main effect table 2) is an example of a drawing change content determination lottery table SM21 ta (main effect table 2, particularly when the drawing change mode is non-reach and the pass / fail result is lost). is there. The main effect contents of the main effect table 2 are constituted by an aspect in which a final display is made after the decorative symbol in the middle row is temporarily stopped, and an aspect in which pseudo continuous fluctuation re-fluctuates after the temporary stop.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the notice effect / painting stop symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. First, in step 2252, the notice effect display control unit SM24 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage unit SM22b, and determines whether the change is a change related to trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2252, in step 2254, the notice effect display control unit SM24 turns off the angel zone in-progress flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage unit SM24b. Next, in step 2260, the notice effect display control unit SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from the “special notice effect candidate”. Here, the “special advance notice effect candidate” is an advance notice effect candidate to be referred to when deciding the advance notice effect when the background effect is the “angel zone background” described later. Next, in step 2262, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the decorative symbol based on the information on the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol, and proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 2218) Transition.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2252, at step 2256, the advance notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not trigger hold exists in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2256, in step 2258, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the angel zone rushing flag is off. If Yes in step 2258, then the process moves to step 2264. On the other hand, if No in step 2258, the process moves to step 2260.

Next, in step 2264, the notice effect display control unit SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from the “normal notice effect candidate”. Here, the “normal advance presentation effect candidate” is an advance presentation effect candidate to be referred to when determining the advance presentation effect when the background effect is other than the “angel zone background” described later. Next, in step 2266, the notice effect display control unit SM24 turns on the angel zone in-rush flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage unit SM24b. Next, in step 2268, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol of the middle row of the main gaming symbol as "special symbol", and based on the information on the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol, the other stop of the decorative symbol The symbol (provisional stop symbol) is determined, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2218).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2256, the preliminary announcement effect display control means SM24 determines at step 2270 whether or not the pending pre-reading group of the change is group 3 {by this processing, the B— illustrated in FIG. Fluctuations that are not group 3 such as 2nd class are not included in the selection for the angel zone transition drawing, which will be described later, and did not win the pre-selection lottery (pre-selection lottery for winning, pre-selection lottery for fluctuation stop) ) A change relating to the suspension of group 3 is a lottery target of an angel zone transition lottery to be described later}. In the case of Yes in step 2270, in step 2272, the notice effect display control means SM24 indicates that the change is a pseudo continuous change (a change in which the pseudo change is performed at least once. In this example, it is illustrated in FIGS. (A-4, A-5, B-2, etc.) is determined to be a change to be performed. In the case of Yes in step 2272, in step 2274, the advance notice effect display control means SM24 changes the background effect to the angel zone background during an angel zone transition lottery winning with a predetermined probability (1/10 in this example) Perform a lottery). Next, in step 2276, the preliminary announcement effect display control means SM24 determines whether or not the angel zone shift lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2276, in step 2278, the notice effect display control unit SM24 determines the contents of notice effect from "normal notice effect candidate → special notice effect candidate after special symbol temporary stop timing" (for example, FIG. In the case of A-4 and A-5, until 6 seconds from the change start time, the notice effect contents are determined from the “normal notice effect candidate” and after 6 seconds from the start of the change that is the first middle row temporary stop timing , Determine the content of the notice effect from "special notice effect candidate"). Next, in step 2280, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 notifies the player that the temporary stop symbol of the first middle row of the main gaming symbol is "special symbol" (the background effect is changed to the angel zone Based on the information on the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol, the other stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined based on the information on the stop symbol of the main game symbol, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2218). In addition, a temporary stop symbol is a temporary stop symbol of a false change in a false continuous change, and may be called a false connected symbol hereafter.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2270, step 2272 or step 2276, at step 2282, the notice effect display control unit SM24 determines the contents of the notice effect from the “normal notice effect candidate”. Next, in step 2284, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines the stop symbol (temporary stop symbol) of the decorative symbol based on the information on the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol, and proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 2218) Transition.

In the present embodiment, at step 2274, an angel zone transition lottery is executed to determine whether or not the transition angel zone transition is possible (the pseudo consecutive symbol in the middle of the variation is set as the “special symbol” and the temporary symbol of the special type symbol Although it was configured to determine whether or not to shift to the angel zone when the stop is triggered, it is not limited to this, and a combination candidate for the first pseudo run symbol (the first middle row temporary stop symbol) and the advance effect combination A plurality of the symbols may be provided, and the combination of the pseudo run symbol and the notice effect may be determined from the combination candidates at the time of the pseudo continuous change. Specifically, as the combination candidate, "pseudo run symbol A, preview effect 1", "run pseudo symbol D, run 2", "run symbol A, run 3", "run symbol A, notice Six combination candidates of effect 4 "," special symbol, notice effect 1 "and" special symbol, notice effect 2 "are provided, and the combination of the pseudo run symbol and the notice effect is determined by lottery from the candidates, and the pseudo run is determined. When a combination of a pseudo-series symbol and a notice effect that a symbol becomes a "special symbol" is selected, it may be configured to shift to the angel zone during the change. In addition, the determination method of the combination of the said pseudo run symbol and advance notice production is not limited only at the time of pseudo | simulation continuous fluctuation, You may use the said determination method also in the case of another fluctuation | variation aspect.
In addition, the combination is not limited to the pseudo run symbol and the notice effect, and may include a background effect, a sound aspect, and the like.

  In addition, as a method of determining the preliminary presentation effects, after first determining the basic preliminary presentation effects (the preliminary announcement effects that can be performed regardless of the background presentation being performed, the first half of the variation, etc.) of the preliminary presentation effects Then, based on the determined basic advance effect, determine an effect that is not an advance effect such as a background effect, execute the determined effect (notice effect, background effect, etc.), and then determine the determined basic It may be configured to determine an undecided effect of the preview effect based on the dynamic preview effect and the effect that is not the preview effect such as the determined background effect (the determination method is repeated a plurality of times, It may be configured to determine all of the notice effects to be performed by the change). By configuring in this way, it is possible to determine, at a plurality of timings, the advance notice effect to be executed in the relevant fluctuation, which is generated by determining all the advance notice effects to be executed in the relevant fluctuation at one timing, It will be possible to reduce the problem of the effect and the like.

  Here, the lower part of the same figure is an image figure showing an example of a notice effect and mounting stop symbol display. As shown in the upper part of the same image figure, in this example, when transitioning to the angel zone in the variation, under the situation where normal background rendering (an example of background rendering that is not angel zone background rendering) is performed as background rendering, The "special symbol" is stopped as the first middle row temporary stop symbol. In addition, with the temporary stop of the “special symbol”, angel zone background effect is executed as background effect, and then the final stop pattern is stopped. In the present example, the case of a big hit is illustrated, but the background effect is similarly switched also in the case of a loss.

  In addition, as shown in the middle of the same image, in the present example, when other pseudo continuous change without transition to the angel zone is performed (when the angel zone transfer lottery is not won), the background effect is usually performed as the background effect. A temporary stop symbol that informs the player that a pseudo continuous change is being executed, which is different from the "simulated run symbol A" ("special symbol") as the first middle row temporary stop symbol under the situation where ) Will temporarily stop. Next, even after “pseudo run symbol A” is temporarily stopped, the background effect is usually background effect, and then the final stop symbol is stopped.

  In addition, as shown in the lower part of the same image figure, in this example, when the background symbol is being executed as a background effect, if the winning symbol pre-selection lottery is won during the variation of the decorative symbol, it stops when the variation stops. As a symbol, the missing symbol (baroke eye) stops. After that, the next change is started, and the "special symbol" is stopped as a stop symbol of the change (that is, the change is the pre-read angel zone entry change). Next, when the “special symbol” is stopped, angel zone background rendering is executed as background rendering from the next variation (that is, the next variation is the first variation in the prefetch zone). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the angel zone background rendition is performed in response to the stop (or temporary stop) of the “special symbol”, the player stops the “special symbol” (see FIG. Alternatively, by visually recognizing the temporary stop, it is possible to recognize transition to the angel zone, and stop (or temporary stop) of the "special symbol" not only at the time of fluctuation stop, but also at the time of temporary stop during fluctuation. It is possible to have a sense of expectation to

Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, at step 2302, 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 2302, in step 2304, 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 2306, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on a symbol variation in progress flag within the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2309, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the dressing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2310. Also in the case of No at step 2302, the process proceeds to step 2310.

  Next, in step 2310, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether the symbol variation flag is on or not. In the case of Yes in step 2310, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the dressing variation time management timer SM 21t in step 2311. Next, in step 2312, 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 2312, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the variation display command of the decorative symbol in step 2314 (sent to the sub sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control processing of step 2600). , Shift to step 2330.

  On the other hand, if the result of step 2312 is No, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 is decorated based on the dressing fluctuation time management timer SM21t and the fluctuation mode temporarily stored in the garment display related information temporary storage means SM21b in step 2316. 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 2316, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the decorative symbol in step 2318 (in the display command transmission control process of step 2600, the sub sub control unit SS side Sent to). Next, in step 2320, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops the "special symbol" stop timing 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 (including the temporary stop timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2320, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the angel zone flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21b in step 2322 and shifts to step 2330. In addition, also in the case of No at step 2320, the process proceeds to step 2330.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2316, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and reach effect display control means SM25) at step 2324 displays 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 2324, in step 2326, the notice effect display control means SM 24 (and reach effect display control means SM 25) sets an image display command related to the notice image or reach image (display command transmission control process in step 2600) , Transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to step 2330. Also in the case of No at step 2324, the process proceeds to step 2330.

Next, in step 2330, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines whether or not the main gaming 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 at step 2330, at step 2350, the change-time prefetching determination process described later is executed. Next, in step 2336, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative symbol (sent to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process of step 2600). . Next, in step 2338, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the dressing variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2340, 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 2400). Do. Also in the case of No in step 2310 or step 2330, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2400).

  In the present embodiment, the sub main control unit SM is configured to manage the timing relating to the variable display of the decorative symbol, the execution timing of the background effect, and the like by using the dressing fluctuation time management timer SM21t. The management method such as the timing concerning the fluctuation of the timing of the change of the background and the execution timing of the background effect is not limited to this, the temporary stop timing of the decorative symbol, the notice image and the reach image display timing, in the decorative symbol display content determination process of step 2200 The contents of background rendering display timing (display switching timing of background rendering), etc. are all determined and transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS, and the sub-sub control unit SS executes the rendering at any time according to the received content (display ) May be configured.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the variable stop pre-reading determination process according to the subroutine of step 2350 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 previous prefetch lottery, first, at step 2352, the reserve prefetch effect executability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22b, and does the second main game reserve not exist in the reserve? It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2352, in step 2353, the reserve pre-reading effect execution possibility determination means SM 26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is the time shortening gaming state. If Yes in step 2353, in step 2354 the pending pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not there is a trigger pending while pending. If Yes in step 2354, then the process moves to step 2358. If the result of the step 2352, the step 2353 or the step 2354 is NO, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of the step 2336).

  Next, in the process relating to the latter pre-reading lottery, at first, in step 2358, the pre-pending presentation effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b and excludes the pending relating to the next change within the pending It is determined whether or not there is a hold with the hold prefetch group being group 3 in the hold. In the present embodiment, when winning the variable stop look-ahead drawing lottery, the stop symbol of the next change becomes the “special symbol”, and “angel zone effect” as background effect is triggered by the stop of the “special symbol”. Since it is configured to be executed, if the hold for the next variation in the hold becomes a trigger hold, the execution time of "Angel zone effect" can not be secured, so the hold for the next variation in the hold is The excluded hold is the target of the variable stop pre-reading lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2358, pending pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 has a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/20 in the present example) to the first pending among the pending groups 3 pending excluding the pending on the next change. Execute the variable stop look-up lottery to be won. Next, at step 2362, the holding pre-reading effect execution control means SM 26 determines whether or not the pre-reading lottery is won at the time of the fluctuation stop. In the case of Yes in step 2362, in step 2364, the pending look-ahead effect execution control means SM26 is "trigger pending" to the pending winning of the variable stop time pre-reading lottery stored in the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b. Information indicating the presence is added, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2336). Also in the case of No in step 2358 or step 2362, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2336).

Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of special game related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, at step 2402, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the special game in progress flag is off. If Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, 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 2404, the background effect display control means SM 23 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM 23 b in step 2406 and step 2408, and the effect display device A big hit start display is performed on the SG (a display is appropriately made based on the type of big hit), and the process shifts to step 2412. Also in the case of No at step 2402, the process proceeds to step 2412.

  Next, in step 2412, 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 2413, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying an effect relating to a special game in progress based on the gaming state at the time of winning the corresponding big jack in execution and the jackpot symbol in suspension ( Sent to the sub-sub control unit SS in the display command transmission control process of step 2600) (for example, in the case of the special game related to the latent probability variation big hit symbol, transition to the probability fluctuation gaming state after the special game is over An effect that the player can not recognize is executed). Next, in step 2414, 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 2414, in step 2416, the background effect display control means SM23 performs a big hit end display on the effect display device SG (displays appropriately based on the type of the big hit). Next, in step 2418, 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 2500). . Also in the case of No in step 2404 or step 2414, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of background rendering control processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, at step 2502, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the graphic display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether the angel zone flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the background effect display control unit SM 23 sets “angel zone background” as the background effect, and the process shifts to step 2506. Next, in step 2506, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the change (or the change related to the suspension) that triggered the transition of the "angel zone" {"angel zone" It is determined whether or not the change (or the change related to the suspension) that is the transition trigger of is the change related to the trigger suspension or the change angel zone transition fluctuation}. If Yes in step 2506, in step 2508, the background effect display control unit SM23 turns off the angel zone flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage unit SM21b. Next, in step 2509, the background effect display control unit SM23 sets a predetermined background effect (for example, sets the background effect set before “angel zone background” is set), and the process proceeds to step 2520. Do.

On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2502, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b at step 2512 to determine whether or not the symbol variation display start instruction command has been received from the main side. . In step 2512, if Yes, in step 2514, execute a stage shift lottery winning with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/20) (a stage shift lottery will be executed at the start of each fluctuation) . Next, in step 2516, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the lottery result in step 2514 and determines whether or not the stage transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2516, in step 2518, the background effect display control means SM23 makes a transition for looping each stage in the order of a predetermined stage transition pattern (for example, flat stage → space stage → volcano stage → flat stage) Background rendering, and proceeds to step 2520. Incidentally, even if the result of the step 2506, the step 2512 or the step 2516 is No, the process shifts to the step 2520.

  Next, in step 2520, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command for displaying the background effect set on the effect display device SG (in the display command transmission control process of step 2600, to the sub sub control unit SS side) Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600).

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the suspension serving as the variation mode with a high probability of big hit is won by either the winning lottery at the time of winning or the prefetch lottery at the variation stop, While stopping the "special symbol" by the change immediately after winning, the "angel zone background" is displayed as a background effect indicating that the big hit expectation is high triggered by the stop of the "special symbol" Even when the pre-reading lottery at the time of occurrence does not win, "special symbol" can be stopped as a temporary stop symbol during the pseudo continuous variation, and the "special symbol" at the time of fluctuation that becomes high fluctuation mode of big hit expectation. In the event that the angel zone background is displayed as a background effect triggered by the temporary stop of the game, the player may change the design even when the angel zone background is not displayed by the pre-hold reading. To become a pseudo-continuous change can have expectations to migrate to the "angel zone", so that the interest of the game is increased.

  In the present embodiment, the second main game hold exists in the hold state, which is a time-saving gaming state, which is a hold state in the hold state, as a prohibition condition of the look-ahead lottery (previous draw lottery, variable stop prefetch lottery). There is a hold where the read-ahead group is group 3 (except for the newly generated hold), a hold with information indicating that the trigger is on hold in the hold, a big hit hold in the hold (new The conditions such as the hold that occurred in (a) are illustrated, but the prohibition condition of the pre-reading lottery is not limited to this, for example, it is a probability fluctuation gaming state, a predetermined background effect is being executed, the main game The number of reservations may be equal to or less than a predetermined number, or a predetermined reach effect may be performed, or the like may be set as the prohibition condition.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the special symbol is stopped and displayed at the time of stopping the next change of the winning timing when winning in the winning look-ahead lottery, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The special symbol may be stop-displayed at the time of stop of the change which is changing at the timing. Moreover, although it comprised so that it might not perform with respect to the pending | hold which concerns on the following fluctuation | variation, the fluctuation | variation stop time pre-reading lottery may be comprised so that it can be performed. When configured as such, the fluctuation stop-time look-up lottery for the suspension related to the next fluctuation is configured to be executed only when the next fluctuation is a fluctuation for which the pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed, and the prediction lottery is won In this case, it is desirable that the special symbol be temporarily stopped at the temporary stop of the next change, and the temporary stop be used as a trigger to shift to the "angel zone".

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery timing of the pre-reading lottery, the winning timing of the game ball to the main game starting opening (the first main game starting opening A10), the fluctuation stop timing of the main gaming symbol (the fluctuation stop timing of the decorative symbol However, the present invention is not limited thereto, but predetermined timing in the middle of fluctuation of the main gaming symbol (predetermined timing in the middle of fluctuation of the decorative symbol), fluctuation start timing of the main gaming symbol (timing of fluctuation of the decorative symbol), It may be as well. By configuring in such a manner, the pre-reading lottery is executed for the suspension concerning the next change, and when the pre-reading drawing is won, the stop symbol of the change (the change which starts the change or the change in the middle of the change) As a special symbol can be stopped.

Moreover, in this embodiment, it was comprised so that a special symbol could be temporarily stopped at the time of the 1st temporary stop in a pseudo | simulation continuous fluctuation, but it is not limited to this, The said special symbol is carried out at the time of temporary stop after the 2nd time It may be configured to be able to temporarily stop, and in such a configuration, the case where the special symbol is temporarily stopped for the second time of temporary stop is better than the case where the special symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time of temporary stop. The probability that the change is a big hit (the stop symbol of the change is a big hit symbol) may be configured to be high.

Second Embodiment
Here, in the present embodiment, the pre-reading zone effect can be executed as an effect that suggests the presence of the suspension with the high-incident fluctuation mode that becomes a big hit, but the execution mode of the pre-reading zone effect is as follows. The present invention is not limited to this, and by performing pre-reading zone effect also for the suspension which is a fluctuation mode with a low hitting degree of becoming a big hit, the effect of the pre-reading zone effect in this embodiment is different from that in the pre-reading zone effect and the interest of the game is improved. It is possible to Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be referred to as a second embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 28 is an example of the variation mode determination lottery table (main game table 3) referred to in FIG. 10 in the second embodiment. First of all, the difference from the present embodiment is the fluctuation mode determination table on the first main game side (non-time shortening gaming state), and the purpose thereof is the fluctuation mode based on the jackpot symbol for the fluctuation that becomes the big hit The selection mode is different, and a specific fluctuation mode is provided for the fluctuation that causes a loss. That is, in the second embodiment, the first main game fluctuation mode if the jackpot is to be a big hit with the jackpot symbol "7A" in the fluctuation (the fluctuation of the first main game side during the non-time shortening gaming state). The determination means MN51-A refers to the table for the jackpot symbol "7A" to determine the variation mode. On the other hand, when it is scheduled to be a big hit with the "4A" "5A" symbol, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A refers to the table for the big hit symbol "4A ・ 5A" and changes the variation mode. decide.

  Here, as shown in the same figure, only one type of variation mode (30 second variation, which is the first half of battle reach → special bar code stop) is selected for the table for the big hit symbol “4A, 5A”. The special winning opening is open only for a very short time during the special game relating to the big hit symbol “4A, 5A”, and the player is notified that the Zoro eyes are displayed to indicate that it is a big hit. To prevent you from feeling lost. That is, in the big hit (big hit pertaining to 4A, 5A) transitioning to the latent state (not reporting the gaming state and transitioning after 4A or 5A), only the variation mode can be selected. It is

  In addition, in the case of the change (in the non-time shortening gaming state, the first main game side), when it is planned to be a loss, a fluctuation mode KJ (a fluctuation of 18 seconds in which giant temper licking → a loss of appearance stop occurs) is It is configured to be selectable. The processing on the side of the sub main control unit SM when the variation mode is selected will be described later, but for the side of the sub main control unit SM, the hold pre-reading group "group 4" as information on the hold Information to that effect is to be sent.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the winning pre-reading determination process according to the subroutine of step 2150 in FIG. 18 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is the step 2180 (second), and the purpose thereof is to be configured to be able to execute the winning giant zone shift determination processing. That is, in the case of No in step 2162 or step 2166 (when the trigger hold on the angel zone in the present embodiment does not occur under the situation where the pre-reading lottery can be executed), in step 2180 (second) The execution control means SM26 executes a winning game giant zone shift determination process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2118).

Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the winning giant zone shift determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2180 (second) in FIG. 29 in the second embodiment. First, at step 2182, the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b, and the new pre-pending pending pre-reading group holds the group 4 pending It is determined whether or not it is a hold on the aspect. If Yes in step 2182, the process moves to step 2190.

  On the other hand, if the result of step 2182 is NO, the pre-reading effect execution possibility determination means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b and the new pending pre-reading group is group 3 (for example, battle). It is determined whether or not it is a reservation pre-reading group (a change presumption group) which is a variation mode in which the effect of reaching the first half of the reach → the second half is executed. Here, in this processing, against the suspension of group 3 which did not win in the prize pre-selection lottery (lottery executed in step 2164) according to the above-mentioned "angel zone", the prize-based giant zone transition lottery is made. It is configured to be executable. In the case of Yes in step 2184, in step 2186, the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM 26k executes a winning giant zone transition lottery winning with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/20). Next, in step 2188, with reference to the result of the winning at the giant zone transition lottery at step 2186, the pending look-ahead rendering executability judging means SM 26k determines whether or not the winning at the giant zone transition lottery is won. If Yes in step 2188, then the process moves to step 2190. If NO at step 2184 (ie, the new hold is a hold of group 1 or 2) or NO at 2188, the process proceeds to the next process (step 2118).

  Next, in step 2190, the pre-hold effect effect execution control means SM26 is "Giant trigger hold" (trigger hold) in the information relating to the new hold stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b. While adding the information of the effect, it temporarily stores in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2192, the pre-hold presentation effect execution control means SM26 turns on the giant zone shift reservation flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23 b, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118). Transition. By configuring in this way, it is possible to execute “Giant zone effect” described later as a background effect at the time of the occurrence of the hold relating to the group 4 or at the time of the occurrence of the hold relating to the group 3. In this example, the lottery for transition to the heavenly zone is executed first, and the lottery for whether or not the giant trigger is suspended for the suspension that did not become the trigger suspension for the heavenly zone is executed. The method of executing the two types of zone effect transition lottery (lottery for determining whether the trigger is on hold or not) is not limited to this, and for example, for a hold on which a certain effect (for example, story effect) is scheduled to be performed. Only the lottery whether or not the trigger zone pertaining to the heaven zone is held, and the lottery whether or not the trigger zone associated with the giant zone will be held for the suspension scheduled to execute another effect (for example, battle direction) It may be configured to be executable. In addition, these determinations (lottery) may be configured to be determined by a table having the effect (variation mode) to be executed, the game state, the status of the game, the status of the game, the stop symbol, an appropriate random number, etc. .

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the notice effect / drawing stopping symbol determination process according to the subroutine of step 2250 in FIG. 23 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is the steps 2285 (second) to 2298 (second), and the purpose thereof is not only at the time of suspension occurrence but also at the start of fluctuation from the start of the fluctuation, the background As the effect, it is to be configured so as to be able to execute the "Giant zone effect" described later. That is, in the case of No at step 2256, at step 2285 (second), the reserve pre-reading effect executability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22 b, and the variation is a variation relating to giant trigger suspension. It is determined whether or not. If Yes in step 2285 (second), the process moves to step 2298 (second).

On the other hand, if 2285 (the second) is No, in step 2286 (the second), the reserve pre-reading effect executability decision means SM 26 k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM 22 b and the giant trigger pending exists in the pending It is determined whether or not to do. If Yes in step 2286 (second), the process moves to step 2270. On the other hand, if No in step 2286 (second) (if there is a giant trigger hold in the hold), the process moves to step 2298 (second).

  In the case of No at step 2270, step 2272 or step 2276 (when the change is not a change relating to the pre-reading effect, and “angel zone effect” is not performed in the change), the pre-reading pending at step 2288 (second) The effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and judges whether or not the pending pre-reading group of the change is the group 4. In the case of Yes in step 2288, in step 2296 (second), the reservation prefetch effect execution control unit SM26 turns on the giant zone flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage unit SM23b, and step 2298 (second Move to 2).

  On the other hand, if No in step 2288 (the second), in step 2290 (the second), the pending look-ahead rendering executability decision means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b, and the pending look-ahead group of the variation It is determined whether or not it is group 2 or 3. In the case of Yes in step 2290 (the second), in step 2292 (the second), the suspension pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k executes a giant zone transition lottery winning with a predetermined probability (for example, the current set as a background effect) If the stage being played is a flat stage, 1/20 if it is a space stage, 1/15 if it is a space stage, and 1/10 if it is a volcano stage) Next, in step 2294 (second), the reserve pre-reading effect executability judging means SM 26 k judges whether or not the giant zone transition lottery has not been won. If Yes in step 2294 (second), the process moves to step 2282. On the other hand, if No in step 2294 (second), the process goes to step 2296 (second), the giant zone flag is turned on, and the process goes to step 2298 (second). In the case of No at step 2290 (second), the process moves to step 2282.

  Next, in step 2298 (the second), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines the content of the notice effect from "the giant zone notice effect candidate" and shifts to step 2284. In addition to the suspension of groups 4 and 3 that did not become giant trigger suspension due to conditions such as prohibition when such suspension occurs (at the time of winning), this processing suspends group 2 (for example, executes the first half of the battle reach) Is also executed for the hold related to the That is, in the giant zone transition determination at the time of winning, "the giant zone effect" is not executed due to the suspension related to the variation mode of group 2, but in the giant zone transition determination at the start of variation, it relates to the variation mode of group 2. It is possible to execute "Giant zone effect" due to the change.

  Here, in the second embodiment, the variation mode of the group 2 is selected in the variation that is the big hit with the big hit symbols “4A” and “5A”, so the occurrence of the giant trigger hold (group (group Big hit symbol "4A" "5A" in the change related to the giant trigger hold when "Giant zone effect" is executed during multiple changes due to only the hold that is the change mode of 4 or group 3) It does not become a big hit with "" (it becomes a big hit with a lost or big hit symbol "7A"). On the other hand, when the execution of "Giant zone effect" is decided at the start of the change (when the temper turning effect to be described later is executed during the change to the giant zone), the big hit symbol "4A" " It can be a big hit (latency big hit) with 5A. As a result, even when the same giant zone effect is being executed, different predictions can be made with respect to the result of the game depending on the mode of execution, and it becomes possible to improve the interest of the game.

Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of background rendering control processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 27 in the second embodiment. First, the difference with this embodiment is about step 2530 (the 2nd)-2544 (the 2nd), and when the execution of the Giants zone effect is decided by the above-mentioned processing, the purpose is the Giants zone effect concerned. It is to be configured to be able to display. That is, in the case of No at step 2502 (when the angel zone flag is off), at step 2530 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b It is determined whether or not the giant zone flag is on. If Yes in step 2530 (second), the process moves to step 2538 (second). In the case of No at step 2530 (second), the process proceeds to step 2512.

  Further, in the case of Yes in step 2512 (in the case of the variation start timing of the decorative symbol), in step 2532 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b. It is determined whether or not the giant zone shift reservation flag is on. If Yes in step 2532 (second), in steps 2534 (second) and 2536 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 is in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, giant zone The transition reservation flag is turned off, and the giant zone flag in the flag area of the background rendering related information temporary storage means SM23b is turned on, and the process goes to step 2538 (second). In the case of No at step 2532 (second), the process proceeds to step 2514.

  Next, in step 2538 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 sets "Giant zone background" as the background effect (temporarily stored in the background effect relevant information temporary storage means SM23b). Next, in step 2540 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b (or the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b), and triggers transition to the giant zone. It is decided that the transition to the Giants zone occurs (for example, transition to the Giants zone at the start of the transition) or the suspension that triggered the transition to the Giants zone (for example, transition to the Giants zone when the suspension occurs) If it is determined, it is determined whether or not the change related to the trigger hold has ended. If Yes in step 2540 (second), in step 2542 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the giant zone flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b (see FIG. End the execution of "Giant zone production"). Next, in step 2544 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 sets a predetermined background effect (for example, sets the background effect which was set before "the giant zone background" is set), Control goes to step 2520. Also in the case of No at step 2540 (second), the process proceeds to step 2520. Here, in the present example, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute "Giant zone effect" at the start of fluctuation according to a fluctuation mode (for example, fluctuation modes of groups 2 and 3) that can be shifted to "Giant zone" Although it is configured to be obtained, this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a stage shift lottery (at the start of fluctuation relating to a fluctuation mode (for example, fluctuation modes of groups 2 and 3) that can be shifted to For example, when the process of step 2514 is won, the system may be configured to shift to the "macro zone". Also in this case, the transition probability to the "macro zone" may be different depending on the stage currently set as the background effect. Furthermore, depending on which stage (for example, the flat ground stage, the space stage, the volcano stage) shifts to the "Giant zone", the jackpot expectation in the "Giant zone effect" may be configured to be different {eg, When transitioning from the flat ground stage to the "Giant zone", the presentation often ends in the first half of the battle (the big hit expectation in the variation is low), and when transitioning from the volcano stage to the "Giant zone", the presentation Often develop until the second half of the battle (the big hit in the fluctuation is high), etc.}.

Next, FIG. 33 is an image diagram of a giant zone effect and an example of a main effect table in the second embodiment. First, to describe an image diagram of the giant zone effect, first, a background image as shown is displayed, and fluctuation starts. In addition, when it moves to the "Giant zone", the change that triggered the transfer to the "Giant zone" (for example, when changing to the "Giant zone" at the start of the change, the change) or to the "Giant zone" The background image is displayed for the period until the end of the fluctuation pertaining to the suspension that triggered the transition of (for example, when it is decided to transition to the “Giant zone” when the suspension occurs, the trigger is the suspension timing) It becomes.

  Next, the change that triggered the transition to the "Giant zone" (for example, when changing to the "Giant zone" at the start of the change, the change) or the hold that triggered the transition to the "Giant zone" (For example, when it is decided to shift to the "Giant zone" at the time of holding occurrence, if it is a fluctuation related to the trigger holding), the stage of presentation proceeds, and the decorative symbol (in this example, " 6 'symbol) is displayed temporarily.

  Next, the stage of presentation proceeds, and a temppai turning effect (in this example) asks whether the same decorative symbol (in this example, the "6" symbol) in the right column is temporarily stopped (temporarily displayed). The semi-transparent "6" symbol is displayed in the right column, and the face of the giant is gradually approached to produce a facial expression that is likely to occur. Thereafter, the effect branches in the case where the change is a change related to the change mode of group 4 and the case where the change relates to a change mode (for example, a change mode to be battle reach) of groups 2 and 3.

  Next, when the change is a change related to the change mode of group 4, the decorative symbol does not go into tempering after the execution of the tempai turning effect (in the present example, the "6" symbol does not temporarily stop), and the tempting turning effect is The process ends (in this example, the expression of the giant returns to the original state), and the loose eyes are stopped and displayed.

  On the other hand, if the change is a change related to a change mode (for example, battle reach) in Groups 2 and 3, after the execution of the tempering roaring effect, the effect stage proceeds and the same decorative symbol as the left line in the right line (this example Then, the "6" symbol) is temporarily stopped and displayed, and it will shift to battle reach production.

  Next, the main effect table in the lower part of FIG. In the second embodiment, the giant zone effect can be performed at the time of the change relating to the change mode of the group 4, the change relating to the change mode of the group 3, and the change relating to the change mode of the group 2. In particular, when performing a giant zone effect, as shown in the lower part of the figure, it is configured to be able to execute a common effect until the middle of the fluctuation in each effect {the content of the advance effect effect If you decide from "Giant zone preview effect candidates", the effect shown in the upper image figure (and other preview effects not shown) will be selected (Especially, the preview effect 6 will be a temppai turn effect)} . Although not shown in particular, when a giant zone effect can not be executed in a change related to the change mode of group 4 due to a prohibition or the like, an effect with a low degree of expectation (for example, it is particularly noticeable after the symbol starts changing The effect of stopping the design is executed without notice.

  By configuring as described above, according to the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, even if the fluctuation of the low expectation which is expected to be a loss, the pending content which becomes the fluctuation of the low expectation is determined in advance It is possible to execute zone effects (effects in which the background image becomes an image different from the normal time during a plurality of changes). As a result, a highly entertaining effect is executed although the expectation level is low, and it is possible to play the game without raising the execution frequency of the highly entertaining effect with high expectation (that is, the expected degree of performance decreases). It is possible to execute a game (rendering) that does not make the person tired.

Although the present embodiment is configured to shift to the latent state (a state where the gaming state is not notified to the player) after the termination of the probability variation non-time jackpot and the non-probability variation non-time jackpot, the present invention is not limited thereto. It is possible to execute a small hit that does not shift the gaming state, and by making the large winning opening opening and closing mode and the effect to be executed of the small hit and the probability variation non-time jackpot the same (or substantially the same) It may be difficult to determine whether it is the one made or the one made about the definite variation non-time and place jackpot, and it may be configured to create the latent state.

  In addition, although not particularly illustrated in this example, even if the fluctuation is a predetermined fluctuation time or more (for example, fluctuation of group 3), the fluctuation is a specific effect (for example, a high expectation degree of real shooting reach effect or all In the case of the change to execute the rotation reach effect), the giant zone effect may not be performed.
