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

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (the right side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are each composed of, for example, LEDs (light emitting diodes) of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc. Special symbols (also referred to as "special figures") which are plural types of identification information (special identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed (variable display). For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B can variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. Do. Thereafter, the confirmed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special view game. Note that the determined special symbol may be different from the special symbol displayed during the variable display.

  In addition, the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns (in which a pattern in which all the LEDs are all turned off may be included as a lighting pattern) are different types of combinations of different combinations of what is turned on and turned off in 7-segment LEDs. It may be set in advance as a special symbol. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as the "second special view" .

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area in the game board 2, and a sub image display device 5 S having a smaller display area than the image display device 5 is provided below the image display device 5. The image display device 5 and the sub-image display device 5S are configured of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or the like, and form a display area for displaying various effect images. On the screen of the image display device 5, corresponding to the variable display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A in the special figure game and the variable display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions such as three, decorative symbols which are plural types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each are variably displayed. The variable display of this decorative pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, on the screen of the image display device 5, decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to any one of the change of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the change of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B being started in the special figure game, In each of the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R, fluctuation of the decorative symbol (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction) is started. After that, when the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special view game, each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the "left", "middle" and "right" in the image display device 5 The finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol), which is the result of variable display of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed. The finalized decorative design may be different from the decorative design displayed during the variable display. For example, a decorative pattern other than the decorative pattern to be scrolled may be a finalized decorative pattern. Also, each decorative symbol display area of "left", "middle" and "right" can be moved within the display area of the image display device 5 so that the decorative symbol can be displayed by being reduced or enlarged. It is also good.

  Thus, on the screen of the image display device 5, a special drawing game (also referred to as a first special drawing game) using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A, or the second special symbol display device 4B In synchronization with the special drawing game (also referred to as the second special drawing game) using the second special drawing in, the variable display of a plurality of kinds of decorative designs that can be identified each is performed, and the finalized decorative design that becomes the variable display is displayed Derivation display (or simply referred to as "derivation"). In addition, for example, to derive and display various display symbols such as special symbols and decorative symbols, stop identification information such as decorative symbols etc (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) and end variable display. is there. On the other hand, during the variable display from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when the fixed decorative symbol as the variable display result is derived and displayed, the change speed of the decorative symbol is "0", and the decorative symbol is displayed. For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed in a definite manner, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative symbol by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the decorative pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, one second) without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction.

  On the screen of the image display device 5, a first hold display unit 5HL, a second hold display unit 5HR, and an active display unit AHA are arranged. The first hold display unit 5HL displays the first special view hold storage number in a identifiable manner. The first special view reservation storage number is a suspension number of variable display corresponding to the special view game using the first special view in the first special symbol display device 4A. The second hold display unit 5HR displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The second special figure reservation storage number is a pending number of variable display corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening formed by the regular winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball device 6B. It occurs based on the starting winnings by doing. That is, although a start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing a variable display game such as a special view game or variable display of a decorative symbol is satisfied, a variable display game based on the start condition established earlier is being executed. When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, etc., the hold of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is To be done.

  For example, the start condition of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A by the occurrence of the first start winning that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening (first start condition If the first start condition for starting the special view game using the first special figure based on the establishment of the first start condition is not satisfied when 1) The addition (increment) is performed, and the execution of the special drawing game using the first special drawing is suspended. In addition, starting condition of the special figure game which uses the 2nd special figure by the 2nd special symbol display device 4B due to the occurrence of the 2nd start winning which the game ball passes (enters) the 2nd starting winning a prize opening (the 2nd starting condition If the second start condition for starting the special view game using the second special view based on the establishment of the second start condition is not satisfied when The addition (increment) is performed and the execution of the special drawing game using the second special drawing is suspended. On the other hand, when the execution of the special view game using the first special view is started, the pending data (pending storage) is digested, and the number of the first special view pending storage is decremented by one (decrement). When the execution of the special view game using the special view is started, the pending data (pending storage) is digested and the number of the second special view pending storage is decremented by one (decrement). In addition, when the first start winning combination has occurred, the first start condition is not satisfied if the number of first special map reservations has reached a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"), and the start winning combination is The special drawing game based on may be invalidated and only the payout of the winning balls may be made. In addition, when the second start winning combination occurs, if the number of second special view reservations has reached a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"), the second start condition is not satisfied, and The special drawing game based on may be invalidated and only the payout of the winning balls may be made.

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

  In the first hold display unit 5HL, a hold display corresponding to the hold storage of the special view game using the first special view is performed. For example, the first hold display unit 5HL may be configured to perform the first hold display right-justified. The first hold display unit 5HL is provided with four display parts according to “4” which is the upper limit value of the first special view hold storage number, and hold numbers “1”, “2”, “3” in order from the right end "," "4" should just be matched. When the number of reservations for the special view game using the first special view increases due to the establishment of the first start condition, if there is no other first suspension display on the first suspension display unit 5HL, suspension is performed in the first suspension display unit 5HL A new first hold display is added as a hold display corresponding to the increased number of first special view hold storages at the display portion at the right end corresponding to the number “1”. If there is another first hold display on the first hold display unit 5HL, a new first hold display is a display that is not displayed on the left of the display part where the other first hold display is being performed. It adds to a part (it corresponds to any of reservation number "2"-"4"). When there is a plurality of first suspension displays in first suspension display portion 5HL, when the special view game using the first special figure is started by the establishment of a new first start condition, in first suspension display portion 5HL While deleting (digesting) the first hold display in the display area at the right end corresponding to the hold number “1”, each of the first hold display in the display area corresponding to the other hold numbers “2” to “4” Move (shift) to the direction (right side) of the erased display area.

  In the second hold display unit 5HR, a hold display corresponding to the hold storage of the special view game using the second special view is performed. For example, the second hold display unit 5HR may be configured to perform the second hold display with left alignment. The second hold display unit 5HR is provided with four display parts according to "4" which is the upper limit value of the second special view hold storage number, and from the left end hold numbers "1", "2", "3" "," "4" should just be matched. When the number of reservations for the special view game using the second special view increases due to the establishment of the second start condition, if there is no other second suspension display on the second suspension display unit 5HR, the second suspension display unit 5HR is suspended A new second hold display is added as a hold display corresponding to the increased number of second special view hold storages at the left display portion corresponding to the number "1". If there is another second hold display in the second hold display unit 5HR, a new second hold display, a display that is not displayed on the right of the display part where the other second hold display is being performed It adds to a part (it corresponds to any of reservation number "2"-"4"). When there is a plurality of second hold display in second hold display unit 5HR, when the special view game using the second special view is started by the establishment of a new second start condition, in second hold display unit 5HR While deleting (digesting) the second hold display in the left display portion corresponding to the hold number “1”, each of the second hold displays in the display portions corresponding to the other hold numbers “2” to “4” Move (shift) to the direction (left side) of the erased display area.

  The active display unit AHA displays the same effect image as the on-hold display or a different effect image, corresponding to the variable display being executed. The display in the active display portion AHA is referred to as active display (also referred to as variable display correspondence display, display at the time of digestion, display this time, or the like). In the active display area AHA, for example, the first display area deleted 5H (digested) corresponding to the start of the special view game using the first special figure when the first start condition is satisfied. 1 Active display corresponding to the hold display is performed. Further, in the active display area AHA, for example, in response to the start of the special view game using the second special figure when the second start condition is satisfied, the second hold display area 5HR is erased (digested) Active display is performed according to the second hold display. The first hold display or the second hold display and the active display may have the same color or pattern, for example, the active display may be displayed larger than the first hold display or the second hold display. It may be In addition, the display mode of the active display may be changed to a display mode different from the display mode of the first hold display or the second hold display by executing the active display change effect.

  In the display area of the sub-image display device 5S shown in FIG. 1, an active display unit AHA is disposed between the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR. On the other hand, the active display unit AHA is not limited to the one disposed between the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR, and may be arranged at an arbitrary position in the display area of the image display device 5. It should just be. Further, the arrangement of the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR can also be arbitrarily changed. For example, the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR may be arranged in an alternating manner.

  In addition to the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR, or instead of the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR, a display for displaying the number of stored special figures may be provided. Good. In the example shown in FIG. 1, along with the first hold display unit 5HL and the second hold display unit 5HR, the number of special view hold memories can be specified in the upper part of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B for display are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. Each of the first hold indicator 25A and the second hold indicator 25B is, for example, the number corresponding to the upper limit value (for example, "4") in each of the first special view reserve storage number and the second special view reserve storage number (for example, "4") For example, four LEDs are included. Here, the first special view reserve storage number and the second special view reserve storage number are displayed according to the number of lighted LEDs.

  Under the image display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The regular winning ball device 6A, for example, forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normally variable winning ball device 6B has an electric tulip type role having a pair of movable wing pieces that changes between a closed state in which the vertical position is achieved by the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character shown in FIG. (Normal motorized role) is provided to form a second start winning opening.

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, when the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is in the off state, the gaming ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening Do not close. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second starting winning opening by the movable wing piece being in the tilting position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is on. ) Can be opened. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is normally open when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, and the game ball can enter the second start winning port while the enlarged opening state is in the state when the solenoid 81 is on. Also, the game ball may be configured to be difficult to pass (enter). As described above, the first variable state (passing (entering) easy state), such as the opening state where the gaming ball can pass (enter) the second starting winning opening through the second start winning opening, or the enlarged opening state, Is configured to be able to change to a second variable state such as a closed state where it can not pass (enter) or a normally open state where it is difficult to pass (including passability (including impassability)). It is done. The first variable state may be a state in which the gaming ball is more likely to pass (enter) the second start winning opening than the second variable state.

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

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

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning prize ball device 7 includes a special winning opening door which is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning opening door shown in FIG. 2 and a specific area which changes to an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. To form a winning opening as.

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

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a predetermined game using a game ball as a game medium is performed, and a predetermined game value can be provided based on the game result. The game value to be awarded in the gaming machine is directly the payout of the gaming ball to be a winning ball or the award of a point corresponding thereto. Such game balls and record information of scores corresponding to the number thereof may be, for example, those having a valuable value that can be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes according to the quantity. Alternatively, the recorded information of the gaming balls and the scores may not be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes, but may have a valuable value that can be used for playing again with the gaming machine.

  In addition, the gaming value that can be awarded in the gaming machine is not limited to the payout of the gaming ball serving as the winning ball and the awarding of the score, for example, control to a big hit gaming state, or control to special gaming state such as probability variation state The number of rounds that can be executed in the jackpot gaming state becomes the first round number (for example, "15") that is larger than the second round number (for example, "2") The upper limit number of possible variable display becomes the first number (for example, "100") that is larger than the second number (for example, "50"), and the big hit probability in the positive change state is the second probability (for example, 1/50) The first probability (for example, 1/20) that is higher than the second one is the number of times of consecutive chanting that is the number of times that is repeatedly controlled to the big hit gaming state without being controlled to the normal state is the second consecutive chan number (for example, "5 More than ") First communication Chang number (e.g., "10"), such as part or all of it to be, it may include be a more favorable game situation for the player.

  As an example of the game using the game ball, the ball hitting operation handle installed at the lower right of the front of the case in the pachinko gaming machine 1 based on predetermined operation (for example, rotation operation) by the player, the predetermined ball hitting A game ball as a game medium is shot toward the game area by a shooting motor or the like provided in the shooting device. When the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area enters the first starting winning opening (first starting area) formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the gaming ball is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. 2 The first start condition is satisfied due to the fact that the first start port switch 22A is turned on or the like. After that, for example, the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is based on the establishment of the first start condition by the previous special figure game or the end of the big hit gaming state etc. It is started.

  Also, when the gaming ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening (second starting area) formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the gaming ball is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. The second start condition is satisfied due to the fact that the second start port switch 22B is turned on or the like. After that, for example, the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is based on the establishment of the second start condition by the previous special figure game or the end of the big hit gaming state etc. It is started. However, when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normally open state or the closed state as the second variable state, it is difficult or impossible to pass (enter) the second starting winning hole.

  Based on the fact that the game ball which has passed the passing gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2 (that the gate switch 21 is turned on), the variable display of the normal symbol is executed in the normal symbol display 20 The common drawing start condition is satisfied. After that, for example, based on the fact that the common drawing start condition for starting the variable display of the normal symbol is established, for example, that the previous common drawing game has ended, the common drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is started . In this common-play game, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when a predetermined time passes, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (common symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol is "per common symbol". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol in the common drawing is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "general drawing lost". In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol becoming "per common figure", the open control and the enlargement open control are performed such that the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball device 6B is tilted. The closing control or the normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when the predetermined time has elapsed. Whether or not to make the variable display result of the normal symbol "per common drawing" as the predetermined specific display result is the variable display result when the common pattern game by the normal symbol display 20 is started, etc. It is decided (predetermined) before deriving and displaying.

  When the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is started, or when the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is started It is determined (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed, whether or not the variable display result of the symbol is to be a "big hit" as a predetermined specific display result. Then, the variation pattern is determined at a predetermined ratio based on the determination of the variable display result, and the effect control command for designating the variable display result or the variation pattern is the microcomputer 100 for gaming control of the main substrate 11 shown in FIG. From the stage to the effect control board 12.

  After the special view game is started based on the determination of the variable display result and the variation pattern, for example, when the predetermined variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern has passed, the finalized special symbol to be the variable display result is displayed. Derivation is displayed. "Left", "Medium" and "Right" decorations arranged on the screen of the image display 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbols by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, variable display of a decorative symbol (effect symbol) different from the special symbol is performed. In the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A, or in the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B, the finalized special display result of the special symbol When the symbol is derived and displayed, a finalized ornamental symbol as a variable display result of the decorative symbol is derived and displayed in the image display device 5.

  When the jackpot symbol predetermined as the variable display result of the special symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result (special figure display result) becomes a "big hit" (specific display result), and it is a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. It is controlled to the jackpot gaming state. Whether or not the jackpot gaming state is controlled corresponds to whether or not the variable display result is a "big hit", and is determined (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed. As the variable display result of the special symbol, the big hit symbol is not derived and displayed, and when the lost symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result (special figure display result) becomes "loss" (non-specific display result).

  As an example, a special symbol indicating the numbers “3” and “7” is a big hit symbol, and a special symbol indicating the symbol “-” is a lost symbol. Each symbol such as a big hit symbol or lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Also, the special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol or a lost symbol.

  In the big hit game state, the big winning opening is opened and the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the first state advantageous to the player. Then, during a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or a period until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls enter the big winning opening and a winning ball is generated, the big winning opening is continuously opened. A round game (also simply referred to as "round") is executed. In a period other than the execution period of such a round game, the special winning opening is closed, making it difficult or impossible to generate winning balls. When the game ball enters the big winning opening, the winning ball (the game ball entering the big winning opening) is detected by the count switch 23, and a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls serve as the winning balls for each detection. Be paid out. The round game in the jackpot gaming state is repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15”) is reached.

  When the variable display result is "big hit", the case where the big hit type becomes either "non-probability change" or "probability change" is included. For example, when the jackpot symbol indicating the number "3" is derived and displayed as the variable symbol result of the special symbol, the jackpot type becomes "non-probability change" and the jackpot symbol indicating the number "7" is jackpotted when the jackpot is displayed The type is "probable". When the jackpot type becomes "probable change" or "non-probable change", the special variable winning ball device 7 is set as the first state advantageous for the player (the big winning opening is opened) as a round game in the big hit gaming state. A normal release round in which the upper limit time is a predetermined time (for example, a first period such as 29 seconds) is executed a predetermined number of times such as 15 rounds (15 times). In addition, the jackpot gaming state based on the "big hit" when the jackpot type is "non-deterministic change" is referred to as "non-probability change big hit gaming state". In addition, the big hit gaming state based on the "big hit" when the big hit type is "probable change" is referred to as "probably changed big hit gaming state".

  After the big hit gaming state ends, the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit" (big hit probability) may be controlled to a definite change state in which it is higher than the normal state. The definite change state is controlled to continue until a predetermined definite change termination condition is satisfied, such as the next big hit gaming state being started. Also, after the big hit gaming state ends, the average variable display time may be controlled to a short time state where it is shorter than the normal state. In the time saving state, either the time saving end of one of the execution of variable display (special figure game) a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) and the start of the next big hit gaming state is performed. It is controlled to continue until the condition is established first. The remaining number of executions of the variable display (special game, etc.) until the time saving end condition is satisfied may be referred to as the time remaining number of times. The time saving state and the probability changing state are also advantageous states for the player.

  In the present embodiment, the gaming state after the non-probable variation big-hit gaming state is ended is a time saving state but not a definite changing state. In the present embodiment, the gaming state after the probability variation big hit gaming state ends becomes the time saving state and the probability changing state.

  In addition, the normal state is a game state other than the special game state such as a big hit game state, a short time state, or a state advantageous to the player such as a definite change state, and the variable display result in the common drawing game The probability of being "per figure" and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit" is a predetermined state after initialization of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case of system reset). It is a state controlled in the same way as when the return process is not executed.

  In the time saving state, the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening more easily than the non-time saving state in which the time saving state such as the normal state is not entered. Or, it is changed between the enlarged open state) and the second variable state (closed state or normal open state). For example, control to shorten the variation time of the normal symbol (general figure variation time) in the regular game by the regular symbol display 20 than in the normal state or the variable display result of the regular symbol in each regular game Control to improve the probability of being “per-figure” than in normal condition, tilt control time to perform tilting control of movable wing in ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result becoming “per-flat” Is changed to the first variable state and the second variable state in the advantageous change mode by the control to make the length of the ball longer than that in the normal state, and the control to increase the number of tilting times more than in the normal state. Just do it. Note that any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed. As described above, control for changing the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B between the first variable state and the second variable state in the advantageous change mode is referred to as high open control (also referred to as "time-saving control" or "high base control"). Be done. By being controlled to such a short time state, the time required for the next variable display result to be a "big hit" is shortened, and a special gaming state which is more advantageous to the player than the normal state is attained.

  In addition, the time saving state is said to be "high base state", "high base", etc., and the gaming state not in time saving state is also "low base state", "low base", "non-shorting state", "non-shorting", etc. It will be. It is said that the probability change state in which the probability change control is performed is “high probability state”, “high probability”, etc., and the gaming state not in the definite variation state is “low probability state”, “low probability”, “non-probability state”, “non-probability change It is also said. The gaming state when in a definite variation state and a short time state is also referred to as a "high probability high base state", "high probability high base", and the like. The game state when the time change state is not a definite change state is also referred to as "low probability high base state", "low probability high base", and the like. The game state when it is in a definite change state without being in a short time state is also referred to as "high probability low base state", "high probability low base", and the like. A state that is neither a short time state nor a definite state, that is, a normal state is also referred to as a "low probability low base state", "low probability low base", and the like.

  In "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in image display device 5, a special figure game using the first special figure in first special symbol display device 4A Among the special drawing games using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B, variable display of the decorative design is started in response to the start of one of the special drawing games. Then, a period from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when variable display is ended by stop display of the decorative symbol in each of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. In (during variable display), the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established).

  Here, with the reach mode, a decorative symbol ("reach variation symbol") which is not displayed when the decorative symbol stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination The term “display mode” also refers to a display mode in which the fluctuation continues, or a display mode in which all or part of the decorative patterns are synchronously fluctuated while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in "left", "middle", "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5R, etc.) The remaining decorative symbol display area (for example, "inside" which has not been stopped yet displayed when the decorative symbol (for example, the decorative symbol indicating the alphanumeric character of "7") constituting the predetermined big hit combination is stopped and displayed The display pattern in which the decorative pattern is changing in the decorative pattern display area 5C etc.) or the decorative pattern display area 5L, 5C, 5R in all or part of the "left", "middle", "right" It is a display mode which is fluctuating synchronously while a pattern constitutes all or a part of big hit combination.

  During the variable display of the decorative pattern, a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the decorative pattern is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5, a background image is displayed, and An effect of reproducing and displaying different moving images is performed. These effects are referred to as effects during variable display as well as variable display of decorative symbols. That is, the variable display effect is an effect by an image displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 along with the variable display of the special symbol, and is a concept including the variable display itself of the decorative symbol. Making the variable display mode a reach mode is also one of the effects during variable display. In the variable display effect, in addition to the effect by the image (including the variable display itself of the decorative symbol) displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 along with the variable display of the special symbol, the voice output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R Or, effects may be included such as lighting operations (flashing operations) of light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 or the like.

  A reach effect may be performed in the variable display effect. Reach production is executed in response to reaching the reach mode. The reach effect reduces the variation speed of the decorative pattern, displays a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the decorative pattern on the screen of the image display 5, and changes the display mode of the background image. This is an effect of performing a rendering operation different from that before reaching the reach mode by causing a moving image different from the decorative pattern to be reproduced or displayed, or changing the variation pattern of the decorative pattern. In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the image display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, etc. An operation mode different from the previous operation mode may be included. In the present embodiment, as reach effects, normal reach, super reach A, super reach B, and all rotation reach different in presentation mode are prepared.

  In addition, unlike the reach effect, during the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display state of the decorative symbol may reach the reach state or the variable display result may become the "big hit", the variable display of the decorative symbol A variable display effect may be executed to notify the player according to an aspect or the like. As an example, during the variable display of the decorative symbol, it is sufficient if the variable display effect of “pseudo-series” can be performed. It may be determined whether or not to execute the variable display effect of “pseudo series” in response to the change pattern being determined on the main substrate 11 side.

  In the variable display effect of "pseudo ream", the variable display of the decorative symbol is started after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started in response to one of the first start condition and the second start condition of the special figure game being met once. After displaying the decorative symbols temporarily in all of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R until the finalized decorative symbols are derived and displayed. Effects can be displayed a predetermined number of times (for example, up to three times at maximum) in which all decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R cause the decorative symbol to change again (simulated continuous change). The number of times of pseudo series change is the display of "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display except for the first change from the start of variable display of decorative symbol to the temporary stop of all decorative symbols at first. It is the number of times that the decorative pattern changes again in all of the areas 5L, 5C, 5R. As an example, in the variable display effect of “pseudo series”, a plurality of predetermined “pseudo series chances of special combination” are displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of “left”, “middle” and “right”. The decoration pattern which is one of the kinds of lost combinations is displayed temporarily. In the temporary stop display, while the decorative symbol is displayed in a stationary manner, it is displayed to the player by, for example, re-changing the decorative symbol simply by performing a swing fluctuation display or stopping for a short time. It may be notified that the decorative pattern is not determined. Alternatively, even in the temporary stop display, the decorative symbol may be re-varied after the decorative symbol is held to such an extent that the player recognizes that the displayed decorative symbol has been determined.

  The variable display effect of “pseudo series” is set, for example, so that the possibility of the variable display result becoming “big hit” increases as the number of times of pseudo series fluctuation (re-variation) increases. As a result, the player can recognize that the variable display effect of "pseudo run" is performed by displaying the pseudo run chance eye temporarily stop, and as the number of times of the pseudo run fluctuation increases, the variable display result becomes Expectations of a "big hit" are enhanced. In the present embodiment, the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied once by the pseudo-series fluctuation (re-variation) being performed once or twice in the variable display effect of “pseudo-series”. Based on this, it is possible to make the variable display of the decorative pattern appear as if it had been started two or three times consecutively. The number of times of pseudo series fluctuation (re-variation) in the variable display effect of “pseudo series” may be, for example, four times or five times.

  When a variable display effect of “pseudo series” is executed, a re-change effect by a related display effect or the like is executed along with a plurality of variable displays including a first change (simulated continuous change) It is also good. As an example, a predetermined effect image such as a specific character image may be displayed on the image display device 5 during the period of each variable display (including the first change) by the variable display effect of “pseudo-series”. Further, for example, an optional rendering operation such as voice output from the speakers 8L and 8R or lighting operation of another light emitting body such as the game effect lamp 9 may be performed to execute the maximum fluctuation effect.

  In addition to "pseudo ream", for example, "slip", "development chance eyes", "development chance eyes end", "after chance eyes stop" as a variable display effect using a variable display operation of a decorative symbol Various presentation operations such as “slip” may be performed. Here, in the variable display effect of "slip", until after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started and the finalized decorative symbol to be a variable display result is derived and displayed, "left", "middle" and "right" After changing the decorative design in all of the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the single or plural decorative design display areas (for example, “left” and “right” decorative design display areas 5L, 5R, etc.) After temporary stop display of the decorative symbol, a predetermined number (for example, "1" or "2") of decorative symbol display areas (for example, "left") are displayed among the decorative symbol display areas displayed temporarily. By changing the decorative pattern again in the area 5L and one or both of the decorative pattern display areas 5R on the "right" and displaying it in a stop state, effect display for changing the decorative pattern to be stopped and displayed is performed.

  In the variable display effect of "Development Opportunity Eye", the decoration of "left", "middle", and "right" until variable decoration result of decoration design is derived and displayed after variable display of decoration design is started The temporary display of the decorative symbol constituting the development chance included in the predetermined special combination in all of the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R is performed, and then the variable display state of the decorative symbol is set as the reach state. Reach production is started. On the other hand, in the variable display effect of "Development chance eye end", after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, in all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" An effect display is performed in which a decorative symbol of a combination predetermined as a development opportunity is derived and displayed as a finalized decorative symbol. In the variable display effect of "slip after chance stop", similarly to the variable display effect of "pseudo ream", until after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started and the finalized decorative symbol to be the variable display result is derived and displayed After temporarily stopping and displaying the decorative symbol of the lost combination (special combination) which becomes a pseudo recurrent chance in all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the "left", "middle", and "right" Unlike the variable display effect of “pseudo series” in which the decorative symbol is again changed in all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the decorative symbol is changed again in part of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R As a result, effect display is performed to change the decorative pattern to be stopped and displayed.

  Unlike variable display effects such as reach effects or “pseudo series” during variable display of decorative symbols, for example, display of a predetermined effect image, an image display such as a message, audio output, etc. Depending on the rendering operation different from the variable display operation of the symbol, the variable display state of the decorative symbol may reach the reach state, the reach effect by the super reach may be executed, and the variable display result is “ An advance notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance that there is a possibility of a "big hit".

  The production operation to be the advance production is the display mode of the decorative symbol after the variable display of the decorative symbol is started in all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" It is sufficient if it is executed (started) before the reach mode is reached (before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R). Moreover, what is performed after the variable display mode of a decorative symbol turns into a reach mode may be included in the preliminary announcement effect which alert | reports that a variable display result may become a "big hit". In this manner, the notice effect can be a big hit gaming state at a predetermined timing from when the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started to when the finalized special symbol or the fixed decorative symbol is derived as the variable display result. It should be something that can give notice of sex. A plurality of advance notice patterns are prepared in advance, corresponding to the contents (effect mode) of the effect operation in the case of executing such advance effect.

  Among the advance notice effects are those that become advance read advance notice effects (also referred to as read ahead effects). In the pre-reading advance notice effect, the variable display result is “big hit” according to the presentation mode before the variable display is performed, which is the target (notice target) for which the possibility of the variable display result being “big hit” etc. It is a notice effect that can give notice of the possibility of becoming In particular, the pre-read notice effect for continuously giving notice over the variable display of the decorative symbol executed a plurality of times corresponding to a plurality of special drawing games is also referred to as a continuous notice effect. In preview advance notice effects, for example, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" based on the hold storage of the special drawing game due to the occurrence of the start winning, etc. The rendering operation to do is started. In contrast to the pre-reading advance notice effect, the notice effect whose execution is started after the variable display that is the advance notice object is started is referred to as a single advance notice effect (also referred to as a single advance notice, said fluctuation advance notice, or a notice effect during variable display). Be done.

  As an example of a single advance notice effect, by changing the display of the effect image in the active display unit AHA to a display mode different from the display mode at the normal time, the possibility of becoming a "big hit" in the variable display in which the start condition is satisfied An advance notice effect of "active display change" is performed. More specifically, variable display is achieved by setting the display color in the active display unit AHA to a specific color (for example, any of yellow, blue, red, etc.) different from the predetermined color (for example, white) at the normal time. It may be informed that the possibility of the result being a "big hit" is higher than usual. In addition, by setting the icon displayed on the active display unit AHA to a specific icon different from the round plain color at the normal time, for example, announcing a message such as “?”, “Chance”, “extensive heat” , It should be suggested that the variable display result may be a "big hit". In addition, the icon displayed on the active display unit AHA has an icon for notifying a message such as “NEXT”, for example, to notify that a pseudo continuous change in the variable display effect of “pseudo run” is to be performed. It is also good. The notice effect of "active display change" is also referred to as active display change effect.

  In addition, when the display mode of the hold display is changed, an effect may be performed that suggests that the display mode is changed. When the effect presentation is executed, the display mode of the hold display changes as a result of the effect presentation. The action effect may include, for example, any effect operation such as an audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R or a lighting operation of another light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9.

  Next, main operations (actions) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. In the following, the operation will be described with reference to a flowchart or the like, but in each operation (each processing), processing that does not appear in the flowchart may be appropriately performed.

  In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 101 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after executing the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop.

  When the CPU 103 having executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt disable state and executes predetermined game control timer interrupt processing. For game control timer interrupt processing, for example, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 such as switch processing and main side error processing, information output processing, random number update processing for gaming, special symbol process processing, normal symbol process processing, command control processing Processing for controlling the progress of the game is included. At the end of the game control timer interrupt process, an interrupt enabled state is set. As a result, the game control timer interrupt process is executed each time a timer interrupt occurs, that is, every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) which is the supply interval of the interrupt request signal.

  In the switch processing, each switch is determined by determining whether a detection signal is input from various switches such as the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count switch 23 via the switch circuit 110. This is a process for determining for each switch whether or not it is in the on state (that is, whether or not the game ball has entered or passed).

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

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

  The game random number updating process is a process for updating at least a part of the plurality of types of game random numbers used on the main substrate 11 side by software. As an example, random numbers for special display display determination, a random number MR2 for determination of a big hit type, and a random number MR3 for variation pattern determination are used as random numbers for gaming used on the main substrate 11 side. It should be included (see FIG. 6). The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used to determine whether or not to control the big hit gaming state with a variable display result such as a special symbol in the special figure game as a "big hit". It can take any value of "65535". The random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is a random number value used to determine the jackpot type as either “probable variation” or “non-probability variation” when the variable display result is “big hit”, “1 "-" Can take any value of "100". The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol as any of a plurality of variation patterns prepared in advance, and is "1" to It can take any value of "900".

  In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the variable display result such as the special symbol in the special drawing game is a big hit. Determination of whether or not to control the gaming state, determination of the variation pattern, control of the display operation in the special symbol display device 4 based on the determination result (execution of the special figure game), special variable winning ball device 7 of the big hit gaming state Various processing is selected and executed in order to perform the opening / closing operation setting (execution of round game and short-term opening control) and the like of the special winning opening in the above in a predetermined procedure. Although the details of the special symbol process processing will be described later, the special symbol process processing is executed each time the timer interrupt occurs, the determination of the variable display result and the variation pattern, the execution of the special figure game based on the determination, the big hit gaming state Etc. are realized.

  In the normal symbol process processing, for example, when the gaming ball passes the passing gate 41 (for example, when it is determined that the gate switch 21 is turned on in the switch processing), the number of reservations has reached the upper limit number If there is not, the holding storage of the common drawing game (for example, extracting the random number value and storing it in the RAM 102) or the holding display (the random number value stored in the RAM 102) is used to determine the variable display result of the common drawing game Or determines the fluctuation pattern (such as fluctuation time) of the common game and controls the display operation (for example, lighting and extinguishing of the segment LED, etc.) on the normal symbol display 20 according to the fluctuation pattern to change the variable display of the normal symbol The first such as open state etc. of the variable winning a prize ball device 6B normally when the variable display result of the common game is derived and displayed. Or performs the process to change state. By executing the ordinary symbol process processing each time a timer interrupt occurs, execution of a common game, a first variable state of a predetermined period of the normally variable winning ball device 6B at the time of common game, and the like are realized.

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

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

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

  The command 80XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern designation command) for designating a variation pattern of a decorative symbol variably displayed on the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol. In the present embodiment, fluctuation pattern designation commands corresponding to each of the fluctuation patterns are set. For example, a unique number (variation pattern number) is assigned to each fluctuation pattern, and the number is set to "XX" in the command (for example, "01" in the case of fluctuation pattern PA1-1) . In addition, the fluctuation pattern specification command is also a command for specifying the start of fluctuation of the decorative pattern.

  The command 8A01 (H) is an effect control command (first start opening winning combination designation command) specifying that the first start winning combination has occurred due to the game medium entering the first start winning opening. The command 8A02 (H) is an effect control command (second start opening winning combination specifying command) for specifying that the second start winning has occurred due to the game medium having entered the second start winning opening. The first starting opening winning combination designation command and the second starting opening winning combination designation command may be collectively referred to as a starting opening winning combination designation command.

  The command 8CXX (H) is an effect control command (display result specifying command) for specifying whether or not to make a big hit, and a big hit type (that is, variable display result). In the present embodiment, a display result designation command corresponding to each display result is set. For example, a unique number is assigned to each display result, and the number is set to "XX" in the command (for example, "00" in the case of "losing", "big hit type is" probable variation " In the case of a "big hit" such as "01").

  The command 8D01 (H) is an effect control command (first variation start designation command) for designating start of variable display (variation) of the first special symbol. The command 8D02 (H) is an effect control command (second change start designation command) for designating start of variable display (variation) of the second special symbol. The first change start specification command and the second change start specification command may be collectively referred to as a change start specification command. Note that information indicating whether to start variable display of the first special symbol or to start variable display of the second special symbol may be included in the fluctuation pattern determination result specification command described later.

  The command 8F00 (H) is an effect control command (design confirmation designation command) for designating that the variable display (variation) of the decorative symbol is finished and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed.

  The command 95XX (H) is an effect control command (playing state designation command) for designating a playing state. In the present embodiment, a game state designation command corresponding to each of the game states is set. For example, when the gaming state is the normal state (low probability low base), “XX” is set to “00”. For example, when the gaming state is the high probability low base state, “XX” is set to “01”. For example, when the gaming state is a high probability high base state, “XX” is set to “02”.

  The command A 000 (H) is an effect control command (big hit start designation command) for specifying the start of the big hit gaming state (start of fanfare). In addition, a fanfare is an effect for notifying that a big hit gaming state has been performed, which is executed at the start of the big hit gaming state.

  The command A 300 (H) is an effect control command (hit end designation command) for specifying the end of the big hit gaming state (start of ending). In addition, ending is an effect which is carried out at the end of the big hit game state, and notifies that the big hit game state is ended.

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

  The command C4XX (H) is an effect control command (design determination result specification command) for specifying a display result among the determination results at the start winning combination. The command C5XX (H) is an effect control command (a variation pattern determination result specification command) for specifying a variation pattern among determination results at the start winning combination. In the present embodiment, random number values MR1 to MR3 are extracted when the first start winning or the second start winning occurs in the process of step S101 described later. Regarding the variable display corresponding to the extracted random number values MR1 to 3, before the establishment of the start condition of the variable display, the variable display is variable based on the random numbers MR1 and MR3 of the extracted random number MR1 to MR3. It is determined whether or not the display result is a "big hit", and the variation pattern of the variable display (see FIG. 12). The determination at the time of start winning is the determination of these, and is performed in the winning random number value determination process of step S213. In the predetermined case, this determination may not be performed. A unique number is assigned to the determination result (including the case of no determination) about the display result, and the number is set to "XX" in the symbol designation command (for example, in the case of "no determination") "00", "01" in case of "losing", "02" in case of "big hit", etc.). A unique number is assigned to the determination result (including the case of no determination) for the variation pattern, and the number is set to “XX” in the variation pattern determination result specification command (for example, “no determination” In the case, "00", "11" in the case of "PA1-1", "12" in the case of "PA1-2", etc.).

  Next, special symbol process processing will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the start winning determination process executed in step S101. When the start winning determination process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A is on ( Step S201). When it is determined in the switch processing that the first starting opening switch 22A is on and the first starting opening switch 22A is on (step S201; Yes), the CPU 103 selects the first special view. It is determined whether or not the number of first special drawing reservations stored, which is the number of pending storages of the special drawing game used, is a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4") (step S202). At this time, the CPU 103 is a first stored value of a first special view hold storage number counter (a counter for counting the first special view hold storage number) provided in a predetermined area (such as a game control counter setting unit) of the RAM 102. It is only necessary to be able to specify the number of the first special figure reservation memory by reading the special figure reservation memory count value. When it is determined in step S202 that the number of first special view reservations is not the upper limit (step S202; No), the CPU 103 stores the starting opening buffer provided in a predetermined area (such as a game control buffer setting unit) of the RAM 102 The starting opening buffer value which is a value is set to "1" (step S203).

  When it is determined that the first starting opening switch 22A is off in the process of step S201 (step S201; No), or when it is determined that the number of first special view storage locations has reached the upper limit value in the process of step S202. (Step S202; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B is on ( Step S204). When it is determined in the switch processing that the second start port switch 22B is on, for example, and it is determined that the second start port switch 22B is on (step S204; Yes), the CPU 103 selects the second special view It is determined whether or not the second special view reserve storage number, which is the reserve storage number of the special view game used, is a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4") (step S205). At this time, the CPU 103 is a second stored value of a second special view hold storage number counter (a counter for counting the second special view hold storage number) provided in a predetermined area (such as a game control counter setting unit) of the RAM 102 It is only necessary to be able to specify the second special figure pending storage number by reading the special figure pending storage number count value. When it is determined in the process of step S205 that the second special figure storage number is not the upper limit (step S205; No), the CPU 103 sets the starting opening buffer value to "2" (step S206). If it is determined that the second starting port switch 22B is not on (step S204; No), or if it is determined that the second special view pending storage number is the upper limit value (step S205; Yes), the CPU 103 The start winning determination process ends.

  After executing either the process of step S203 or step S206, the CPU 103 updates the special view reserve storage number count value according to the starting opening buffer value so as to add 1 (step S207). For example, when the starting port buffer value is “1”, the first TOC pending memory number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting port buffer value is “2”, the second TOC pending memory number count value is Add one. Thus, the first special view reserve memory number count value is increased by 1 when the game ball enters the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special view game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to (increment). Also, the second special view reserve memory number count value is increased by 1 when the game ball enters the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special view game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to (increment). At this time, the total on-hold storage number count value, which is the storage value of the on-hold storage number counter provided in a predetermined area (such as a game control counter setting unit) of the RAM 102, is updated to add 1 (step S208).

  After executing the processing of step S208, the CPU 103 extracts a predetermined gaming random number corresponding to the occurrence of the start winning (step S209). The CPU 103 selects, for example, a random number value MR1 for determining the special view display result from among numerical data updated by a random counter or the like provided in the random number circuit 104 or a predetermined area (such as a game control counter setting unit) of the RAM 102. The random number value MR2 for type determination and the numerical data (see FIG. 6) indicating the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination are extracted. The CPU 103 stores numerical data indicating each random number value extracted in this way as hold data at the head of the free entry in the special view hold storage unit according to the start port buffer value (step S210). For example, when the start port buffer value is “1”, the hold data is set in the first special view hold storage unit as shown in FIG. 7 (A). On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the hold data is set in the second special view hold storage unit as shown in FIG. 7 (B). At this time, when the hold data is set in the first special view hold storage unit, the CPU 103 can control the first hold indicator 25A to specify the number of the first special view hold storages added by one. It is also possible to cause the first hold display 25A to perform the following display (for example, increase the number of lighting of the LEDs by one). When the hold data is set in the second special view hold storage unit, the CPU 103 controls the second hold indicator 25B to display a display capable of specifying the number of the second special view hold storages added by one. For example, the number of lighted LEDs may be increased by one on the second hold indicator 25B.

  The first special figure reservation storage unit shown in FIG. 7A is not yet started although the game ball enters the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the first start winning occurs. The reserve data of the special drawing game (the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. The first special view reservation storage unit associates, for example, the first start winning opening with the hold number in the winning order (the detection order of the game balls), and the CPU 103 based on the establishment of the first start condition by the entry of the game balls. The number of stored data is a numerical value data indicating a random number value MR1 for determining the special image display result extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc., a random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and a random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern It stores until it reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). Thus, the hold data stored in the first special view hold storage unit indicates that the execution (variable display) of the special view game using the first special view is being held, and the variable display result in the special view game Hold to determine whether it is decided to control to the big hit gaming state based on (special figure display result) or whether the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a specific mode (for example, reach effect etc.) It becomes memory information.

  Note that the hold number of the first special view hold storage unit and the display position of the hold display symbol (controlled by the effect control board 12 side) basically correspond to each other. Therefore, when the suspension data is stored in the first special view suspension storage unit, the suspension display symbol is displayed at the display position corresponding to the suspension number associated with the suspension data. For example, when the pending data is newly stored in association with the pending number "1", the pending display symbol is displayed at the first display position on the leftmost side of the first pending display unit 5HL. For example, when pending data is newly stored in association with the pending number "2", the pending display symbol is displayed at the second display position located on the right side of the first display position of the first pending display unit 5HL. Do.

  The second special figure reserve storage unit shown in FIG. 7 (B) is still started although the game ball enters the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B and the second start winning occurs. Hold data of no special figure game (special figure game using second special figure in second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. The second special view reserve storage unit associates, for example, with the reserve number in the winning order (the detection order of the game balls) to the second start winning opening, and the CPU 103 based on the establishment of the second start condition by the entry of the game balls. The random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc., the random number value MR2 for the big hit type determination, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for the variation pattern determination, etc. Until the upper limit (for example, "4") is reached. Thus, the hold data stored in the second special view hold storage unit indicates that execution (variable display) of the special view game using the second special view is suspended, and the variable display result in the special view game Hold to determine whether it is decided to control to the big hit gaming state based on (special figure display result) or whether the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes a specific mode (for example, reach effect etc.) It becomes memory information.

  The hold number of the second special view hold storage unit and the display position of the hold display symbol (controlled by the effect control board 12) basically correspond to each other. Therefore, when the pending data is stored in the second special view pending storage unit, the pending display symbol is displayed at the display position corresponding to the pending number associated with the pending data. For example, when the pending data is newly stored in association with the pending number "1", the pending display symbol is displayed at the first display position on the leftmost side of the second pending display unit 5HR. For example, when the pending data is newly stored in association with the pending number "2", the pending display symbol is displayed at the second display position located on the right side of the first display position of the second pending display unit 5HR. Do.

  After executing the processing of step S210, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a starting opening prize designation command prepared in advance to the effect control board 12 (step S211). Thereafter, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting the reserve storage number notification command prepared in advance to the effect control board 12 (step S212).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 executes a winning random number value determination process (step S213). As described above, the winning random number determination process is a process for determining the starting winning combination, and based on the random numbers MR1 and MR3 among the random numbers MR1 to MR3 extracted in step S209, This is processing to determine whether or not the variable display result of the variable display to be executed is a "big hit", and the fluctuation pattern of the variable display (see FIG. 12). Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether the start port buffer value is "1" or "2" (step S214). At this time, when it is determined that the starting opening buffer value is "2" (step S214; "2"), the CPU 103 clears the starting opening buffer and initializes its stored value to "0" ( Step S215), the start winning determination process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the starting opening buffer value is "1" (step S214; "1"), the CPU 103 clears the starting opening buffer and initializes the stored value to "0". From step S216, the process proceeds to step S204. As a result, even when both the first starting opening switch 22A and the second starting opening switch 22B simultaneously detect a starting winning combination of valid gaming balls, it is possible to surely complete the processing based on the detection of both starting starting winning combinations.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a winning random number value determination process performed in step S213 shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when variable display of a special symbol or a decorative symbol is started, the special symbol display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a "big hit" in the special symbol normal processing (step S110 shown in FIG. 4) described later. A decision is made whether to Further, in a variation pattern setting process (step S111 shown in FIG. 4) described later, determination of a variation pattern or the like corresponding to the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is performed. In the random number determination process at the time of winning, the game ball is extracted at the start winning timing detected at the starting winning opening (the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening) separately from these determinations. It is determined whether the variable display result of the variable display of the execution target of the random number value (random number value extracted in the process of step S 209) is “big hit” or the fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the decorative symbol It makes a decision on the problem (so-called "pre-reading"). As a result, before the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball entering the start winning opening is started (before the start condition of the special figure game is established), the special view display result is "big hit" And the rough variable display mode (variation pattern) of the decorative pattern is predicted, and the display mode etc. of the suspension display pattern is determined by the effect control CPU 120 etc on the side of the effect control board 12 based on the prediction result can do.

  In the prize random number value determination process shown in FIG. 8, first, the CPU 103 determines, for example, a time saving flag (a flag that is turned on in the time saving state) or the like provided in a predetermined area (a game control flag setting unit etc.) of the RAM 102 The current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is specified by confirming the state of the probability change flag (flag that is turned on when in the probability change state) (step S301). The CPU 103 determines whether the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a big hit gaming state by checking the value of the special view process flag provided in a predetermined area (game control flag control unit etc.) of the RAM 102, etc. Identify The CPU 103 may specify that the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the big hit gaming state, for example, when the value of the special view process flag is “4” to “7”.

  Following the processing of step S301, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the gaming state identified in this way is a big hit in the big hit gaming state (step S302). When it is determined that the jackpot is not in the big hit (step S302; No), the CPU 103 determines whether the high base state in which the high opening control associated with the time saving control is performed in the definite change state or the time short state is performed (step S303). ). When it is determined that the high base state (step S303; Yes), or when it is determined that the jackpot is in progress in the process of step S302 (step S302; Yes), the CPU 103 sets the starting opening buffer value to "2". It is determined whether there is any (step S304).

  When it is determined in the process of step S303 that the starting opening buffer value is "2" (step S304; Yes), the CPU 103 sets a big hit determination range (step S305). For example, among the special drawing display result determination table (see FIG. 10) described later prepared by storing in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 in advance, etc., the special drawing display result corresponding to the current gaming state specified in step S301. The range of decision values assigned to “big hit” is set as the big hit decision range. For example, if the current gaming state is a definite change state (if the positive change flag is on), “8000” to “9899” are set as a big hit determination range, and the current play state is not positive change state ( If the state is not a definite change state) (if the positive change flag is in an off state), "8000" to "8189" are set as the big hit determination range (see FIG. 10).

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 compares the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special map display result extracted in step S209 with the jackpot determination range set in the process of step S305 (step S306). Subsequently, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the random value MR1 is within the jackpot determination range based on the comparison result (step S307). For example, the CPU 103 compares the individual decision values included in the big hit decision range with the random number value MR1 for special view display result decision extracted in the process of step S209 shown in FIG. 5 one by one. The presence or absence of a decision value that matches MR1 may be determined. Alternatively, the CPU 103 sets numerical values indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the determination values included in the big hit determination range, and sets the random value MR1 and the minimum value or maximum value of the big hit determination range. By comparing, it may be determined whether or not the random value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range.

  In the process of step S306, for example, the CPU 103 may read the random number value MR1 stored in the special image storage unit at step S210 and perform the above determination using the read random number value MR1. Further, the CPU 103 holds the random number value MR1 separately from step S210 in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 (area other than the special image storage section), a storage area of the CPU 103, etc. The determination may be made. The same applies to a random value MR3 described later. As described above, the random number value used in the winning random number value determination process does not have to be the random number value stored in the special image storage unit.

  When it is determined in the process of step S307 that it is within the big hit determination range (step S307; Yes), the CPU 103 pre-stores a big hit fluctuation pattern determination table (see FIG. A) (see A) is selected and set in the use table (step S309). The jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table is a table for determining the fluctuation pattern of the variable display in which the variable display result is "big hit", and a determination value to be compared with the random value MR3 is assigned to each fluctuation pattern.

  In the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 13A, determination values 1 to 27 (range of 3%) to be compared with random number MR3 are assigned to variation pattern PB1-1, and variation patterns PB1-2 are random. Decision values 28 to 72 (range of 5%) to be compared with the numerical value MR3 are assigned, and decision values 73 to 135 (range of 7%) to be compared with the random value MR3 are assigned to the variation pattern PB1-3, The variation pattern PB1-4 is assigned the determined values 136 to 216 (9% range) to be compared with the random value MR3, and the variation pattern PB1-5 is determined to be the determined values 217 to 315 (11 % Is assigned, and the variation patterns PB1-6 are assigned decision values 316 to 432 (range of 13%) to be compared with the random value MR3, and the variation patterns PB1-7 are assigned Decision values 433 to 567 (range of 15%) to be compared with the numerical value MR3 are assigned, and decision values 568 to 720 (range of 17%) to be compared with the random value MR3 are assigned to the variation pattern PB1-8, The variation pattern PB1-9 is assigned a determined value 721 to 900 (in the range of 20%) to be compared with the random value MR3. Such a thing is the same also about the other table which described the decision value.

  When it is determined in the process of step S307 that it is not within the jackpot determination range (step S307; No), the CPU 103 stores the loss variation pattern determination table (FIG. 13B) prepared by storing in advance a predetermined area of the ROM 101. , And (C) are selected and set in the use table (step S308). Specifically, when the current gaming state identified in step S301 is the non-time-short state (low base state) (when the time-short flag is in the off state), the lost change pattern determination table of FIG. If it is set in the use table and the current gaming state specified in step S301 is the time saving state (high base state) (when the time saving flag is in the on state), the lost fluctuation pattern determination table of FIG. Set in the usage table. The loss variation pattern determination table is a table for determining a variation pattern of variable display in which the variable display result is “lost”, and a determination value to be compared with the random value MR3 is assigned to each variation pattern.

  After that, after executing step S308 or S309, the CPU 103 determines whether the big hit fluctuation pattern determination table or the loss is set in the use table based on the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination extracted in step S209. The variation pattern determination table is referred to, and the variation pattern assigned to the determination value that matches the random value MR3 is determined (step S310). The CPU 103 determines the variation pattern by, for example, determining the presence or absence of a determination value that matches the random value MR3 by comparing the individual determination values assigned to each variation pattern and the random value MR3 one by one. Just do it. Alternatively, the CPU 103 sets numerical values indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the determination values assigned to each variation pattern, and the CPU 103 sets the random number MR3 and the minimum value and the maximum value. The variation pattern may be determined by comparing.

  After executing step S310, or when it is determined in the process of step S304 that the starting port buffer value is not "2" (step S304; No), the CPU 103 determines the contents according to the determination result of step S307 or step S310. The transmission setting of the start winning command is performed (step S311), and the winning random number value determination process is ended. The start winning combination command is composed of a start opening winning combination designation command, a special figure hold storage number designation command, a symbol judgment result designation command, and a variation pattern judgment result designation command. When the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the first starting opening winning combination designation command, the first special view pending storage number specifying command, the symbol determination result specifying command, and the variation pattern determination result specification as the start winning combination command Configure transmission settings for commands and. When the starting opening buffer value is "2", the second starting opening winning combination designation command, the second special view hold storage number specifying command, the symbol determination result specification command, and the variation pattern determination result specification as the start winning combination command Configure transmission settings for commands and. The command set for transmission is transmitted in the command control process. When it is determined in the process of step S304 that the starting opening buffer value is not "2" (step S304; No), the CPU 103 does not perform the transmission setting of the determination result designation command of step S311, and the random number value for winning is achieved. The determination process may be ended.

  The command to specify the number of 1st special figure hold storage number specification command and the 2nd special figure hold storage number specification command to send and set is the command to specify the current 1st special figure hold storage number and 2nd special view hold storage number ( The number of special figure holding memories to be designated may be specified as a command including corresponding EXT data, and may be specified by the count value of the first special drawing holding memory number counter or the second special drawing holding memory number counter. If the determination result of step S306 is within the jackpot determination range (step S306; Yes), the symbol designation command to be set for transmission is a command specifying that the judgment result of the variable display result is "big hit" ("big hit If the determination result in step S306 is out of the jackpot determination range (step S306; No), the variable display result determination result is specified as “lost”. If a command (a command including EXT data corresponding to “lost”) is set, and the determination result in step S303 is starting opening buffer value = 1 (step S303; No), the determination at the starting winning combination is not performed “ It may be a command specifying "no determination" (a command including EXT data corresponding to "no determination")The variation pattern determination result specification command to be set for transmission is a command (a command including EXT data corresponding to the variation pattern that is the determination result) that designates the variation pattern to be the determination result when the variation pattern is determined in step S309. When the determination result of step S303 is starting opening buffer value = 1 (step S303; No), a command specifying that "no determination" is not made at the start winning combination ("no determination" It may be a command including corresponding EXT data).

  In the random number determination process at the time of winning, as described above, the variable display result of the variable display (special figure game) for the variable display corresponding to the random numbers MR1 to MR3 extracted in the present step S209 becomes "big hit". It is determined whether or not the variation pattern (see FIG. 13) of the variable display. That is, so-called pre-reading is performed. In this process, the determination is made based on the current gaming state, and the determination is not necessarily accurate because the determination is not made based on the gaming state when the variable display is actually executed. It is possible to predict variable display results and fluctuation patterns with accuracy. Further, in the winning random number value determination process, the process is started by the process of step S303 based on the case where it is determined in the process of step S302 that a big hit is in progress or based on the process of step S303 determined to be in time saving control. It is determined whether the mouth buffer value is "2". At this time, when the starting opening buffer value is “1” and not “2”, the processing in step S304 is not performed, the processing proceeds to step S310, and the determination at the starting winning is not performed. Thus, when high opening control accompanying time saving control is performed, or in the big hit gaming state, each of the above is based on the occurrence of the starting winning (first starting winning) due to the game ball entering the first starting winning opening. Limit the decision not to be made. Thereby, when the special view game using the second special view is executed prior to the special view game using the first special view, the first start winning is achieved when the time saving control is in progress or the big hit gaming state It is possible to ensure the soundness of the game by restricting the execution of the pre-reading based on.

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart of the special symbol process processing shown in FIG. 4, after executing the start winning determination processing in step S101, the CPU 103 selects the special drawing process flag provided in a predetermined area (such as a game control flag setting unit) of the RAM 102. One of the processes in steps S110 to S117 is selected and executed according to the value of.

  The special symbol normal processing of step S110 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In the special symbol normal processing, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4A or the second based on the presence or absence of the pending data of the first special view pending storage unit or the second special view pending storage unit stored in the predetermined area A determination is made as to whether or not the special symbol game is to be started by the special symbol display device 4B. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special pattern display result, whether the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit" is the variable display result Make a decision (pre-decision) before being displayed. At this time, when the variable display result is determined to be "big hit", the big hit type is determined to be any of a plurality of types such as "non-probability change" and "probability change". The data indicating the determination result of the jackpot type is stored in the jackpot type buffer provided in a predetermined area (for example, a game control buffer setting unit) of the RAM 102, whereby the jackpot type is stored. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, in response to the variable display result of the special symbol in the special figure game, the finalized special symbol (big hit symbol, in the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B Missing symbol) is set. In the special symbol normal processing, when the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is determined in advance, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “1”.

  FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol normal processing executed in step S110 shown in FIG. When the special symbol normal processing is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether the number of second special view reservations is "0" (step S231). The second special figure reservation storage count is the number of reserved storages of the special view game using the second special view by the second special symbol display device 4B. The CPU 103 may read the second special-image pending storage count value and determine whether the read value is “0”.

  If it is determined in step S231 that the second special drawing reserve storage count is other than "0" (step S231; No), the CPU 103 determines, for example, the second special figure stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 as reserve data. Numerical data representing a predetermined random number is read out from the top area (for example, the storage area corresponding to the hold number “1”) of the hold storage unit (step S232). Thereby, the game random number extracted corresponding to the occurrence of the start winning (the second starting winning) at the second starting winning opening in the process of step S209 is read out. The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored, for example, by being stored in a variable random number buffer or the like.

  Subsequent to the process of step S232, the CPU 103 updates the second special view reserve storage number to be decremented by 1, for example, by subtracting 1 from the second special view reserve storage count value and updating the same. The storage content in the second special view storage unit is shifted (step S233). For example, the CPU 103 sets, for each entry, the pending data stored in the storage area (the storage area corresponding to the pending numbers “2” to “4”) lower than the pending number “1” in the second special view pending storage unit. Shift to the upper rank (storage area corresponding to the hold numbers “1” to “3”). Also, the CPU 103 may update the total number of pending storages to be decremented by one. Next, the CPU 103 updates the variation special feature designation buffer value, which is the storage value of the variation special feature designation buffer provided in a predetermined area (for example, a game control buffer setting unit) of the RAM 102, to "2" (step S234). ).

  If it is determined in the process of step S231 that the second special figure storage reserve number is "0" (step S231; Yes), the CPU 103 determines whether the first special figure retention storage count is "0" or not. (Step S235). The first special view reservation storage number is the number of suspension storages of the special view game using the first special view by the first special symbol display device 4A. The CPU 103 may read the first special map hold storage count value and determine whether the read value is “0”. Thus, the process of step S235 is executed when it is determined in step S231 that the number of second special view reservations is "0", and the number of first special views reservation is "0". It is determined whether or not. As a result, the special view game using the second special view starts being executed with priority over the special view game using the first special view.

  In addition, regardless of whether it is the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening, the first starting winning opening when the special figure game is executed in the order in which the game balls enter the starting winning opening. The starting opening data indicating which of the second starting winning opening and the game ball has entered is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 in association with the holding data together with the holding data or separately from the holding data, The order in which the start conditions are satisfied may be specified for the special-figure games corresponding to the respective hold data.

  If it is determined in the process of step S235 that the number of first special map reservations is other than “0” (step S235; No), the CPU 103 determines, for example, the first stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 as suspension data. Numerical data representing a predetermined random number is read out from the top area (for example, the storage area corresponding to the hold number “1”) of the special view reserve storage unit (step S 236). Thereby, the game random number extracted corresponding to the occurrence of the start winning (first start winning) at the first starting winning opening in the process of step S209 is read out. The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored, for example, by being stored in a variable random number buffer or the like.

  Subsequent to the process of step S 236, the CPU 103 updates the first special view reserve storage number to be decremented by 1, for example, by subtracting 1 from the first special view reserve storage count value and updating the same. The stored content in the first special image storage unit is shifted (step S237). For example, the CPU 103 makes one entry of the pending data stored in the storage area (the storage area corresponding to the pending numbers “2” to “4”) lower than the pending number “1” in the first special view pending storage unit. To the upper level (storage areas corresponding to holding numbers “1” to “3”). Also, the CPU 103 may update the total number of pending storages to be decremented by one. Next, the CPU 103 updates the variation special feature designation buffer value to "1" (step S238).

  After executing any of the processes of steps S234 and S238, the CPU 103 determines the special figure display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, as either "big hit" or "loss" (step S239). For example, the CPU 103 selects a special-pattern display result determination table shown in FIG. 10, which is prepared, for example, by storing in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 101, and sets the special-pattern display result in a use table for determining the special-pattern display result. In the special view display result determination table, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR1 for special view display result determination indicates that the special view display result is “big hit” or “loss”. According to whether or not the game state is a definite change state, it may be allocated to the determination result of which one of the above.

  The CPU 103 reads, from the variation random number buffer, numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determination of the special view display result included in the game random number temporarily stored in the variation random number buffer in step S232 or S236, and the gaming state is in a definite state Whether or not the gaming state is a definite change state to a determined value matching the random number value MR1 by referring to the special figure display result determination table based on whether or not there is, and numerical data indicating the random number value MR1. Accordingly, the determination result of either the "big hit" or the "losing" assigned may be determined as the special view display result. When the probability change flag is in the on state, the CPU 103 may determine that the condition is the probability change state. For example, when the random number value MR1 is "9000", the CPU 103 determines that the special figure display result is "big hit" when the probability change flag is in the on state (when in the probability change state). If it is in the state (in the non-probability changing state), it is determined that the special drawing display result is to be "lost".

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A), in the case of the definite change state, the special figure display result is determined to be the "big hit" at a higher determination rate than in the non-positive change state. Therefore, for example, the present gaming state is based on the fact that the probability change flag is set to the on state corresponding to the case where the jackpot type is "probable change" by the jackpot end processing of step S117 shown in FIG. When in the definite change state, the special view display result is more likely to be a "big hit" than in the non-positive change state, and is likely to be a big hit gaming state. That is, it is advantageous for the player.

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether the special map display result determined by the process of step S239 is a "big hit" (step S240). If it is determined that the special view display result is "big hit" (step S240; Yes), the CPU 103 sets the big hit flag provided in the predetermined area of the RAM 102 to the on state (step S241). In addition, the CPU 103 determines the jackpot type as any one of a plurality of types (step S242). The CPU 103 selects, for example, a big hit type determination table shown in FIG. 10B prepared by storing in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 or the like, and sets it in a use table for determining a big hit type. In the jackpot type determination table, for example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination determines the jackpot type as “non-probability variation” and “probability variation” It may be assigned to the decision result of which of the two.

  The CPU 103 reads, from the variation random number buffer, numerical data indicating the jackpot type determination random number value MR2 included in the gaming random number temporarily stored in the variation random number buffer in step S232 or S236, and reads from the variation random number buffer By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in the use table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for type determination, any of the jackpot types assigned to the decision value matching the random value MR2 is selected do it.

  After executing the process of step S242, the CPU 103 stores the jackpot type (step S243). In the big hit type buffer provided in a predetermined area (for example, a game control buffer setting unit) of the RAM 102, the CPU 103 sets a big hit type buffer set value (for example, “non-probable change”) indicating If the value is “1” in the case of “probable variation”, the jackpot type may be stored.

  When it is determined that the special figure display result is not a "big hit" (step S240; No), the CPU 103 determines a finalized special symbol to be a variable display result of the special symbol in the special figure game (step S244). For example, when it is determined in step S240 that the special figure display result is not a "big hit", the CPU 103 determines a special symbol predetermined as a lost symbol as a confirmed special symbol. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S240 that the special view display result is "big hit", the CPU 103 determines a plurality of big hit symbols according to the big hit type determination result in step S242 (according to the big hit type buffer setting value) Any of the predetermined special symbols may be determined as the determined special symbol.

  After executing the processing of step S244, CPU 103 updates the value of the special drawing process flag to "1" (step S245), and ends the special symbol normal processing. When the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "1" in step S245, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the variation pattern setting process of step S111 shown in FIG. 4 is executed.

  In the process of step S235, when it is determined that the number of reserved memories of the special view game using the first special figure is "0" (step S235; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a predetermined demonstration display setting (in step S235; Step S246), special symbol normal processing ends. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (waiting customer demonstration specification command) for specifying a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5, etc. It is determined whether transmission to the control board 12 has been completed. At this time, if it has already been sent, the demo display setting is ended as it is. On the other hand, if it has not been sent, the setting for sending a customer waiting demo specification command is set, and then the demonstration display setting is ended. In the effect control board 12, when the customer waiting demo specification command is transmitted, the demonstration screen is displayed.

  The variation pattern setting process of step S111 shown in FIG. 4 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". The variation pattern setting process includes, for example, a process of determining the variation pattern as any one of a plurality of types based on a result of a prior determination as to whether or not the variable display result is to be a "big hit". Since the variation pattern designates the content (variable display mode) of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the content of the variable display of the decorative symbol is determined by this determination. The variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is preset corresponding to the variation pattern. Therefore, by determining the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation pattern setting process, the variable display time (special figure fluctuation time) from the start of the variable display of the special symbol to the derivation of the finalized special symbol as the variable display result is determined. Be done. Furthermore, the variation pattern setting process may include a process of setting for starting the variation of the special symbol in the special symbol display device 4. When the variation pattern setting process is executed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "2".

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 shown in FIG. When the variation pattern setting process is started, the CPU 103 first determines whether the big hit flag is in the on state (step S261). When it is determined that the big hit flag is on (step S261; Yes), the CPU 103 determines a fluctuation pattern corresponding to the big hit when the special view display result is "big hit" (step S262). On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S261 that the big hit flag is in the off state (step S261; No), the CPU 103 determines a variation pattern corresponding to the lost time when the special view display result is "loss" (step S263). ).

  FIG. 12 shows a specific example of the fluctuation pattern in the present embodiment.

  Variation pattern PA1-1 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", specifies non-reach (that the variable display mode does not become a reach mode), and the special figure fluctuation time is normal Non-reach variation pattern of length.

  Fluctuation pattern PA1-2 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", specifies non-reach (that the variable display mode does not become a reach mode), and the special figure fluctuation time is more than usual Is a short non-reach variation pattern for short.

  The fluctuation pattern PA2-1 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and is a reach fluctuation pattern that designates execution of normal reach.

  The fluctuation pattern PA2-2 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and is a reach fluctuation pattern that designates that normal reach should be performed after one pseudo continuous fluctuation is performed. Fluctuation pattern PA2-3 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and after executing the pseudo continuous fluctuation twice, execution of normal reach and super reach A which designates execution of normal reach is executed. It is a reach fluctuation pattern to designate.

  The fluctuation pattern PA2-4 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and is a reach fluctuation pattern that designates the execution of the super reach A. The fluctuation pattern PA2-5 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and is a reach fluctuation pattern that designates the execution of the super reach B.

  The fluctuation pattern PA2-6 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and is a reach fluctuation pattern which designates that super reach A is to be performed after the pseudo continuous fluctuation is performed three times. The fluctuation pattern PA2-7 is selected when the variable display result is "losing", and is a reach fluctuation pattern which designates that the super reach B should be performed after the pseudo continuous fluctuation is performed three times.

  The variation pattern PB1-1 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that designates execution of normal reach.

  The variation pattern PB1-2 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that specifies that normal reach is to be performed after one pseudo continuous variation is performed. The variation pattern PB1-3 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that specifies that normal reach should be performed after the pseudo continuous variation is performed twice.

  The variation pattern PB1-4 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that designates the execution of the super reach A. The variation pattern PB1-5 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that designates the execution of the super reach B.

  The variation pattern PB1-6 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that specifies that super reach A is to be performed after the pseudo continuous variation is performed three times. The variation pattern PB1-7 is selected when the variable display result is "big hit", and is a reach variation pattern that specifies that the super reach B is to be performed after the pseudo continuous variation is performed three times.

  In the process of step S262 shown in FIG. 11, for example, the big hit variation pattern is determined using the big hit variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 13A, which is stored in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 101. As an example, in the jackpot variation pattern determination table, a numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination may be allocated to the determination result of the variation pattern. The CPU 103 refers to the big hit fluctuation pattern determination table based on numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination read out from the fluctuation random number buffer, and the fluctuation assigned to the decision value matching the random value MR3. The pattern may be determined (selected) as the variation pattern of this time.

  In the process of step S263 shown in FIG. 11, for example, the fluctuation pattern at the time of losing is determined using the losing fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 13B and 13C stored in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 101. Be done. When the gaming state is the non-time-short state (the time-shortening flag is in the off state), the CPU 103 refers to the lost fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. When the gaming state is the short time state (the short time flag is on), the CPU 103 refers to the lost fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 13C. As an example, in each loss variation pattern determination table, it is sufficient if a numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination is assigned to the determination result of the variation pattern. The CPU 103 refers to the lost fluctuation pattern determination table based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination read out from the fluctuation random number buffer, and the fluctuation assigned to the determined value that matches the random value MR3. The pattern may be determined (selected) as the variation pattern of this time.

  In the lost fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 13B and 13C, the fluctuation pattern PA1-1 having a short time of special pattern fluctuation time is easily selected in the short time state, and the average is higher than that in the non-short time state. It is possible to shorten the typical variable display time, to suppress the occurrence of an invalid start winning, and to reduce the stop of the game ball launch (so-called "stopping") by the player. In addition, the execution frequency of variable display can be increased.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, when it is determined (predetermined) that the variable display result is to be a "big hit", the variation pattern PB1-9 for executing the super reach C after executing the pseudo connected variation three times is the most frequent. The variation pattern PB1-8 in which the super reach variation is executed after executing the pseudo link variation three times, the variation pattern PB1-7 in which the super reach link is executed after the pseudo link variation is executed three times, super Change pattern PB1-6 of reach C, change pattern PB1-5 of super reach B, change pattern PB1-4 of super reach A, change pattern PB1-3 of executing normal reach after executing pseudo continuous change, pseudo continuous change Is executed in order of fluctuation pattern PB1-2 for executing normal reach and fluctuation pattern PB1-1 for normal reach. Against which determined value is low.

  As shown in FIGS. 13B and 13C, when it is determined (predetermined) that the variable display result is "loss", the most determined value for the non-reach variation pattern PA1-1 or PA1-2 Are assigned, fluctuation pattern PA2-1 of normal reach, fluctuation pattern PA2-2 in which normal reach is executed after one pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed, fluctuation pattern PA2-4 of super reach A, fluctuation pattern PA2- of super reach B 5. A variation pattern PA2-6 of Super Reach C, a variation pattern PB2-7 of executing Super Reach A after executing pseudo-series fluctuation three times, and a variation pattern PB2- of executing Super Reach B after executing pseudo series fluctuation three times 8. Assigned in order of fluctuation pattern PB2-9, which executes super reach C after executing pseudo connected fluctuation three times Value is low.

  As described above, by assigning the determination values in the variation pattern determination tables shown in FIGS. 13A to 13C, the variable display result is derived after the super reach effect is performed after the pseudo continuous variation is performed three times. Sometimes, the possibility of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" (big hit expectation) can be increased.

  After executing the processing of step S262 or S263, the CPU 103 sets a special figure fluctuation time (also referred to as fluctuation time) which is a variable display time of the special symbol (step S264). Special figure fluctuation time that is the variable display time of the special symbol, from the start of the fluctuation of the special symbol in the special figure game to the time it is derived derived display of the finalized special symbol to be the variable display result (special figure display result) It is. As shown in FIG. 12, the special figure fluctuation time is previously determined corresponding to a plurality of fluctuation patterns prepared in advance. The CPU 103 can set the timing at which the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is derived by setting the special drawing fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern selected in the process of step S262 or S263. The setting of the special figure fluctuation time is performed, for example, by setting a timer value corresponding to the special figure fluctuation time in a game control process timer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 or the like.

  Subsequent to the process of step S264, CPU 103 performs a special figure game using the first special figure in first special symbol display device 4A and a special figure game using the second special figure in second special symbol display device 4B. In order to start one of the special drawing games in which the start condition is satisfied, the setting for starting the change of the special symbol is performed (step S265). For example, when the variation special figure designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. On the other hand, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting to transmit the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed. By this, the special drawing game is started.

  After executing the processing of step S265, the CPU 103 sends a special pattern display result, a determination result of the change pattern, etc. to the effect control board 12 side by the command (the change start command) at the start of the change of the special symbol. Transmission setting is performed (step S266). For example, when the fluctuation special drawing designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 transmits a first fluctuation start designation command and a fluctuation pattern designation command as the fluctuation start command to the effect control board 12 from the main substrate 11. Command including EXT data indicating the variation pattern determined in step S262 or S263), display result specification command (command including EXT data indicating the variable display result determined in step S244), first special view storage number specification command ( The first special view reserve storage number count value decremented by 1 in step S237, that is, a command including EXT data indicating the first special view reserve storage number when one reserve storage is digested by the start of execution of the special view game) Configure transmission settings for sequential transmission. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 sends a second fluctuation start designation command and a fluctuation pattern designation command as the fluctuation start command to the effect control board 12 from the main board 11. A command to include EXT data indicating the variation pattern determined in step S262 or S263), a display result specification command (a command including EXT data to indicate the variable display result determined in step S244), a second special view reserve storage count specification command ( The second special view reserve storage number count value decremented by 1 in step S233, that is, a command including EXT data indicating the second special view reserve storage number when one reserve storage is digested by the start of execution of the special view game) Configure transmission settings for sequential transmission.

  After executing the process of step S266, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special drawing process flag to "2" (step S267), and ends the variation pattern setting process. When the value of the special view process flag is updated to "2" in step S267, when the next timer interrupt occurs, the special symbol variation processing of step S112 shown in FIG. 4 is executed.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 shown in FIG. 4 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "2". The special symbol variation process includes a process of subtracting one from the timer value of the game control process timer. And, when the timer value of the game control process timer (the timer value after 1 subtraction) is not 0, because the special figure fluctuation time has not elapsed, control (for example (1) Update the display of the special view and the second special view (including the update for maintaining the display of the special symbol for a predetermined period of time. The same applies in the following). A process for changing the special symbol is performed in 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and the special symbol variation process is ended. On the other hand, when the timer value of the game control process timer becomes 0 and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display The variation of the special symbol is stopped in the device 4B, and the finalized special symbol (finalized special symbol set in step S110) as the variable display result of the special symbol is stopped (displayed) (the finalized special symbol is displayed for a predetermined time) It is good to control to continue), and when it is stopped and displayed, the transmission setting of the symbol determination designating command is also performed, and the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “3”. By repeatedly executing step S112 each time a timer interrupt occurs, variable display of a special symbol, derivation display of a confirmed special symbol, and the like are realized.

  The special symbol stopping process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In the special symbol stop process, the CPU 103 determines whether the big hit flag is in the on state. If the big hit flag is on, the short time flag and the positive change flag are reset (turned off), and the number of remaining variable displays executed during the short time state provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 The count value of the time reduction counter is counted to “0” to count the count value of the time reduction counter. Then, a timer value corresponding to the fanfare wait time (waiting time from the start to the end of the fanfare in the big hit gaming state, and a predetermined time) is set in the game control process timer as an initial value. Then, “15” is set as an initial value in a round number counter provided in the RAM 102 for counting round games. Thereafter, a setting is made to transmit a hit start designation command and a gaming state designation command (here, a command to designate a normal state) for designating the current gaming state, and the special processing process flag is updated to "4". The symbol stopping process is ended. In addition, since the gaming state is changed after the big hit gaming state, it is not necessary to transmit the gaming state designation command here.

  If the big hit flag is off, it is determined whether the time saving flag is on. If it is on, the count value of the time saving counter is decremented by one. After that, it is determined whether the count value after subtracting “1” is “0”. If the count value is “0”, the time saving end condition is satisfied when the time saving state ends (that is, In order to end the time saving state, the time saving flag is turned off in order to execute the predetermined number of variable displays that can be performed in the state). Thereafter, transmission setting is performed to transmit a gaming state designation command (here, a command for designating a high probability low base state) based on the current gaming state. If the time saving flag is in the OFF state, if the count value after subtracting “1” is not “0”, or after setting the transmission of the game state designation command, update the value of the special process process flag to “0”, etc. The special symbol stop process is finished.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In the big hit opening pre-processing, for example, the timer value of the game control process timer is decremented by one. If the timer value after subtraction is not “0”, it means that the fanfare wait time has not yet elapsed, and the big hit opening pre-processing ends. If the timer value after subtraction is “0”, the fanfare wait time has elapsed, and it is that the round game start timing has come. In this case, the process of starting the execution of the round game in the big hit gaming state and opening the big winning opening (for example, the process of transmitting the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door), the big winning opening A process of setting a timer value corresponding to the upper limit (here, 29 seconds) of the open state to the game control process timer is executed. When the process of opening the special winning opening is performed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "5". By repeatedly performing step S114 each time a timer interrupt occurs, standby until the start timing of the round game (standby until the end of the fanfare) and opening of the special winning opening are realized.

  The big hit open processing of step S115 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is “5”. During the big hit opening process, the process of subtracting 1 from the timer value of the game control process timer, the timer value after subtracting 1 or the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23 in one round game (switch process The big winning opening is closed from the open state (or partially closed) based on, for example, a counter (provided in the RAM 102) that counts by one each time the count switch 23 is determined to be on. It includes a process of determining whether it is time to return to an open state).

  If it is determined that the timer value after subtracting 1 has become 0, or if it is determined that the detected number of gaming balls (count value of the counter) has reached a predetermined number (for example, 9), the special winning opening is Since it is time to close, the process of returning the big winning opening to the closed state (for example, the process of stopping transmission of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for big winning opening door and turning off the solenoid 82), Processing to set a timer value corresponding to the closing period of the special winning opening (interval period of a round game, a preset period) to the game control process timer, processing to reduce the count value of the round number counter, etc. To be executed. If the timer value after subtracting 1 does not become 0, and the number of detected gaming balls has not reached a predetermined number, processing to maintain the opening state of the special winning opening (for example, the solenoid drive signal The process of continuing the supply is performed, and the big hit open process is ended. When the special winning opening is returned to the closed state, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "6". By repeatedly performing step S115 each time a timer interrupt occurs, the open state of the special winning opening is maintained until the timing of returning the special winning opening from the open state to the closed state.

  The big hit opening post process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In the big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the count value of the round number counter has become "0", processing to reduce the timer value of the game control process timer by 1 when it has not become "0", etc. It will be.

  If it is determined that the count value of the round number counter is “0”, it means that the round game has reached the upper limit number of times, so the ending time in the game control process timer (start of ending in the big hit gaming state) The timer value corresponding to the waiting time from the end to the end and the predetermined time) is set in the game control process timer. In addition, a setting for transmitting a hit end designation command is performed, and a process for updating the special drawing process flag to "7" is also performed.

  If the timer value of the game control process timer is decremented by 1, it is determined whether the timer value after decrementing by 1 is 0. If it is not 0, it is not the start timing of the round game, so it is closed. Is maintained, and the big hit post-processing ends. In the case of 0, since it is the start timing of the round game, the process of setting the big winning opening to the open state, the timer value corresponding to the upper limit (here, 29 seconds) of the period to open the big winning opening A process of setting the game control process timer is executed. When the process of opening the special winning opening is performed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "5".

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

  The big hit end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In the big hit end process, a process of reducing the timer value of the game control process timer by 1 is performed. If the timer value obtained by subtracting 1 is not 0, the ending is not completed, and the big hit end process is ended as it is. Ending is terminated when the timer value decremented by 1 becomes 0, and according to the big hit type (big hit type buffer set value) stored in the big hit type buffer, a time saving flag, a time saving counter, a definite variation flag Set the state of.

  For example, if the jackpot type is "ceremony change", the time saving flag and the probability changing flag are turned on, and "100" is set as a count initial value in a time reduction counter provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 102. If the jackpot type is "non-probable", only the time saving flag is turned on, and "100" is set in the time saving number counter as the count initial value. In the big hit end process, after such setting, send setting to send the game state specification command specifying the game state according to the setting, various data such as game control process timer, big hit type buffer setting value (next (The one you do not want to carry over to the variable display of) is appropriately reset, and the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “0”.

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

  In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute a predetermined effect control main process. When the effect control main process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and set CTC (counter / timer mounted on the effect control board 12) Perform register setting etc. of the circuit). Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag provided in a predetermined area (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122 is on. The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the register setting of the CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off, the process waits.

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

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

  After executing the command analysis process, the effect control process process is executed. In the effect control process, for example, various operations such as display operation of effect image in display area of the image display device 5, sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, lighting operation in the light emitting body such as the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LED The control content of the rendering operation using the rendering device is determined, determined, set, and the like according to the rendering control command or the like transmitted from the main substrate 11. Subsequent to the effect control process, the effect random number updating process is executed, and software is used to update numerical data indicating effect random numbers counted by the random counter of the RAM 122 as various random number values used for effect control. Thereafter, it is determined again whether the timer interrupt flag is on.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the command analysis process. In the command analysis process, the CPU for effect control 120 receives the start winning combination command (start opening winning combination designation command, special drawing reserve storage number specification command, symbol determination result specification command, fluctuation pattern determination result specification command) from the main substrate 11 It is determined whether there is any (step S401).

  If it is determined that the start winning command has been received (step S401; Yes), the reception command is stored in the start winning command buffer (step S402). When a first start opening winning combination designation command or a first special view hold storage number specification command is received as a start winning combination command, a start winning combination command (first start opening winning combination designation command, first special view hold storage number specification command The symbol determination result designation command and the variation pattern determination result designation command) are stored in a first start winning command buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. When a second start opening winning combination designation command or a second special view hold storage number specification command is received as a start winning combination command, a start winning combination command (second start opening winning combination designation command, second special view hold storage number specification command The symbol determination result designation command and the variation pattern determination result designation command are stored in a second start winning command buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122.

  FIG. 15A shows an example of the configuration of the first start winning combination command buffer. In the first start winning command buffer, various command data constituting the start winning reception command received at the first start winning is stored. The first start winning command buffer supports storage areas (hold display numbers 1 to 4) that can store various data for the number corresponding to the maximum value (for example, 4) of the first special view hold storage number Region) is provided.

  When there is a start winning to the first start winning opening, four commands of the first starting opening winning specified command, the first special view hold storage specified command, the symbol determination result specified command, the variation pattern determination result specified command 1 A presentation control command (command at start winning) set as a set is transmitted from the main board 11 to the presentation control board 12. In addition to the first start winning combination command, the first special figure hold storage specification command, the symbol determination result specification command, and the variation pattern determination result specification command, other information is held in the first start winning command buffer. A storage area is secured so that it can be stored in association with storage information.

  The effect control CPU 120 stores data specifying the start winning combination command from the top of the free space of the first start winning combination command buffer according to the reception order. The data in the free area of the first start winning command buffer, that is, the area in which no data is stored is "0000 (H)". Therefore, when the start winning command is received, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the minimum hold display number in which all the storage areas of the start winning command are "0000 (H)" in the first start winning command buffer. In the storage area to be stored, each effect control command data is stored in the order of the first starting opening winning combination designation command, the first special view hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the fluctuation pattern judgment result designation command.

  Here, FIG. 15C is a configuration example of a variation pattern determination result designation command data correspondence table in which variation pattern determination result designation command data for identifying a variation pattern determination result designation command is associated with a variation pattern determination result. . As shown in FIG. 15C, a unique number corresponding to the variation pattern is assigned to the variation pattern determination result, and the number is set to “XX” in the variation pattern determination result specification command, and the variation pattern is determined. Judgment result specification command data is configured. In the case of “no determination”, which is not determined at the start winning, “00” is assigned to “XX” in the variation pattern determination result designation command, and the variation pattern determination result designation command data is C500 (H) It is.

  FIG. 15B is a configuration example of the second start winning command buffer. In the second start winning command buffer, various command data constituting the start winning reception command received at the second start winning is stored. The second start winning command buffer supports storage areas (hold display numbers 1 to 4) that can store various data for the number corresponding to the maximum value (for example, 4) of the second special view hold storage number Region) is provided.

  When there is a start winning to the second starting winning opening, the four commands of the second starting opening winning specified command, the second special view hold storage specified command, the symbol determination result specified command, the variation pattern determination result specified command 1 A presentation control command (command at start winning) set as a set is transmitted from the main board 11 to the presentation control board 12. In addition to the second start winning combination command, second special view hold storage specification command, symbol judgment result specification command, fluctuation pattern judgment result specification command, other information is held in the second start winning command buffer at the same time. A storage area is secured so that it can be stored in association with storage information.

  The effect control CPU 120 stores data specifying the start winning combination command from the top of the free space of the second start winning combination command buffer according to the reception order. The data in the free area of the second start winning command buffer, that is, the area in which no data is stored is "0000 (H)". Therefore, when the start winning command is received, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the minimum hold display number in which all the storing regions of the start winning command are "0000 (H)" in the second start winning command buffer. In the storage area to be stored, each effect control command data is stored in the order of the second start opening winning combination designation command, the first special view hold storage designation command, the symbol judgment result designation command, and the fluctuation pattern judgment result designation command.

  15 (A), (B) start winning combination received command buffer stored in start winning combination command (starting opening winning combination designation command, number of pending storage number designation command, symbol determination specification command, variation pattern determination result specification command) On the basis of the above, whether or not to execute preview advance notice effect, or if it is executed, a look-ahead notice effect pattern is determined. At this time, if a failure or inconsistency occurs in the command at the time of the start winning combination, the setting of the preview advance notice effect is not performed until the variable display of the hold information corresponding to the command is executed (digested) Limited to If a command for starting winning is received during a period in which the setting of such pre-reading preview effect is limited (during pre-reading preview restriction), it is not determined corresponding to those for which the setting of pre-reading preview effect was not performed at the reception timing. The information is set to “1” (or the on state), and the prefetching advance notice restriction flag provided in a predetermined area (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122 is set. In the case of limiting the execution of the pre-reading advance notice effect, the pre-reading advance notice effect of all aspects is not executed for the pre-reading advance notice effect for the variable display corresponding to the start winning combination generated within the predetermined period. You may be made not to perform the pre-reading advance announcement production of a certain and a partial aspect.

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart of the command analysis process shown in FIG. 14, after step S402 is executed or when it is determined that the start winning command is not received (step S401; No), the effect control CPU 120 controls the game It is determined whether a state designation command has been received (step S403). If it is determined that the gaming state designation command has been received (step S403; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 switches the on / off state of the high probability flag and the high base flag based on the content of the received gaming state designation command. (Step S404).

  The high certainty flag is provided, for example, in a predetermined area (for example, effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122, and is turned on in response to the definite change state, and the high change flag of the main substrate 11 side The on / off state switches in response to the on / off state switching. The high base flag is provided, for example, in a predetermined area (for example, the effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122, and is turned on in response to the short time state, and the high speed flag on the main substrate 11 side The on / off state switches in response to the on / off state switching. For example, when the gaming state designating command designates the high probability / high base state (for example, when the probability variation flag and the time saving flag designate the on state), the effect control CPU 120 sets the high probability flag and the high probability flag Both base flags are turned on (if it is already on, keep it on. Hereinafter, the same applies to the on / off states of both flags). If the game state designating command is to designate the high probability low base state (for example, if the probability change flag is on and the time saving flag is off), the high probability flag is turned on, and the high base is set. Turn off the flag. If the game state specification command is to specify a low probability low base state (normal state) (for example, if it is specified that the probability change flag and the time saving flag are in the off state), both the high probability flag and the high base flag Turn off.

  After executing step S404, or when it is determined that the command for start winning is not received (step S403; No), the effect control CPU 120 executes other analysis processing (step S405), and the command analysis processing. Finish.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 16, the process executed in response to the reception of each effect control command in the command analysis process will be described. The content shown in the item of “process content” shown in FIG. 16 is, for example, the process executed in step S405. Further, the step numbers shown in the item of “process content” indicate the step numbers in the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, which means that the corresponding step processing is executed. In addition, each reception flag and each storage area indicated in the item of “process content” are provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. Also, setting the reception flag means turning on.

  For example, when the received effect control command is a change pattern command, the effect control CPU 120 stores the received change pattern command in the change pattern command storage area formed in the RAM 122. Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets a variation pattern command reception flag.

  Further, for example, when the received effect control command is the display result designation command, the effect control CPU 120 forms the received display result designation command (display result 1 designation command to display result 3 designation command) in the RAM 122 Store in the display result specification command storage area.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 17, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a hold display setting process (step S161).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the hold display setting process. In this embodiment, a chance eye for continuous notice effect over a plurality of variable displays until variable display (hereinafter, also referred to as “target variable display”) to be notified is performed as the advance notice advance effect. The possibility that the variable display result of the variable display to be the object of advance notice will be a "big hit", for example, by stopping a decorative pattern (for example, an odd-numbered or even-numbered decorative pattern etc. An announcement effect for announcing the etc. is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, in the case where preview advance notice effect is executed, a lost symbol different from the prefetch chance is displayed in any of a plurality of variable displays until variable display of the target is executed. After temporarily stopping temporarily, a specific effect of displaying a prefetching chance eye is executed by replacing a part (middle symbol) of the temporarily stopped lost symbol with a symbol displayed in a stopped state after being variably displayed on the sub image display 5S. . Furthermore, a hold indication corresponding to a variable display that has not been started is displayed at the timing of the start winning, and when the variable display is started, a hold notification effect of displaying the hold display as an active display is executed.

  When the hold display setting process shown in FIG. 18 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether a start winning game command has been received (step S501). If it is determined that the start winning game command has been received (step S501; Yes), the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the advance announcement notice effect is being executed (step S502). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the advance notice effect is being executed, by referring to the on / off state of the advance notice flag under execution indicating that the advance notice is being executed / not being executed.

  In the process of step S502, when it is determined that the prefetch notice effect is not being executed (step S502; No), the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the prefetch notice effect is being restricted (step S503). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the prefetch advance notice effect is being restricted by referring to the on / off state of the prefetch advance notice restriction flag indicating whether or not the prefetch advance notice effect is being restricted. .

  In the process of step S503, when it is determined that the prefetch advance notice effect is not restricted (step S503; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines that the number of pending storages is "3" or "4" and the previous pending It is determined whether or not the variation pattern determination result specification command corresponding to storage is only the one that specifies a variation pattern corresponding to non-reach loss (a variation pattern determination result specification command C501 (H) or C 501 (H)) (step S504). The effect control CPU 120 receives either the first start winning command buffer or the second start winning command buffer shown in FIGS. 15 (A) and 15 (B) according to the start winning command received in the process of step S501. By referring to, the number of pending storages is “3” or “4”, and the variation pattern determination result designation command corresponding to the previous pending storage designates only the variation pattern corresponding to non-reach loss. It may be determined whether or not.

  In the process of step S 504, the number of pending storages is “3” or “4”, and the variation pattern determination result designation command corresponding to the previous pending storage is only the one specifying the variation pattern corresponding to non-reach loss. (Step S504; Yes), the CPU 120 for effect control displays stop presence or absence of the execution of the advance notice effect, the advance notice effect mode pattern, and the variable display of multiple times until the variable display of the target is executed. The read pre-read chance eye pattern is determined (step S505). The CPU 120 for effect control, for example, according to the variable display result of the variable display and the fluctuation pattern, the prefetch notice effect execution determination table shown in FIG. 19 stored in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 101, the prefetch notice effect mode shown in FIG. Referring to the pattern determination table, the look-ahead chance correspondence table shown in FIG. 21, and the look-ahead chance eye determination table shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, presence / absence of execution of read notice, look-ahead notice effect mode pattern, and look-ahead chance eye pattern You should decide.

  The pre-read advance notice effect execution determination table shown in FIG. 19 is a table referred to in order to determine whether or not pre-read advance notice effect is performed. According to the variable display result of the variable display and the variation pattern, the "pre-reading advance notice execution execution determination table" indicates that "pre-execution advance notice" is to be executed and "no-execution" indicates that the pre-reading advance notice effect is not to be executed. Different decision rates are assigned. As shown in FIG. 19, in the fluctuation patterns (PB1-7 to PB1-9) in which the variable display result is "big hit" and the super reach C is executed, the highest determination ratio is assigned to "execution". ing. On the other hand, the highest determination ratio is assigned to "no execution" to the non-reach fluctuation patterns (PA1-1, PA1-2) in which the variable display result is "losing" and the reach effect is not performed. With some or all of the settings related to the determination ratio, the variable display result may be a "big hit" when the prefetching preview effect is "with execution" than when the prefetching preview effect is "without execution" It can be suggested that the sex (big hit reliability) is high.

  In addition, the pre-reading advance notice effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20 is a table that is referred to determine the play mode when the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed. FIG. 20A is a prefetch notice effect mode pattern determination table to be referred to when the number of pending memories when it is determined to execute the prefetch notice effect is 3, and FIG. 20B is a preview notice effect It is a pre-reading advance notice production mode pattern determination table referenced when the number of pending storages when it is determined to execute is four.

  In the pre-reading advance notice effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20 (A), two pre-reading notice effect mode patterns are set according to the execution timing of the specific effect. In the pre-reading notice effect mode pattern STP1-1, the first change of the first change and the second change before the third change, which is the variable display (the variable display of the target) which is the target of the pre-read notice, is performed in the first change. The missing symbol different from the pre-reading chance eye is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pre-reading chance eye is displayed. Also, in the second change, the lookahead chance is directly stopped. Furthermore, in the third variation, a finalized decorative symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed. In the pre-reading notice effect mode pattern STP1-2, the first change of the first change and the second change before the third change, which is the variable display (the variable display of the target) which is the target of the pre-read notice, is performed in the first change. In the second variation, a missing symbol different from the pre-read chance is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pre-read chance is displayed. Furthermore, in the third variation, a finalized decorative symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed.

  In the pre-read advance notice effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20 (B), three pre-read advance notice effect mode patterns are set according to the execution timing of the specific effect. In the pre-reading notice effect mode pattern STP2-1, the first change to the third change before the fourth change which is the variable display (the variable display of the target) which is the target of the pre-reading notice is executed in the first change, The missing symbol different from the pre-reading chance eye is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pre-reading chance eye is displayed. Also, in the second and third fluctuations, the look-ahead chance is directly stopped. In the pre-reading notice effect mode pattern STP2-2, the first change and the first change among the first change to the third change before the third change, which is the variable display (the variable display of the target) which is the target of the pre-reading notice, In the third variation, the pre-reading chance eye is directly stopped, and in the second variation, the missing symbol different from the pre-reading chance eye is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pre-reading chance eye is displayed. In the pre-reading notice effect mode pattern STP2-3, the first change and the third change among the first change to the third change before the third change which is a variable display (variable display of a target) which is a target of the pre-read notice is performed. In the second variation, the pre-reading chance eye is directly stopped, and in the third variation, the missing symbol different from the pre-reading chance eye is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pre-reading chance eye is displayed. In any of the prefetch notice effect mode patterns STP2-1 to STP2-3, in the fourth change, a finalized decorative symbol which is a variable display result is derived and displayed.

  When the variable display result is "loss" as shown in the pre-reading advance notice effect mode pattern determination table of FIG. The lowest determination rate is assigned to the effect aspect pattern STP2-3. On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit", the highest determination ratio is assigned to the prefetching notice effect mode pattern STP2-3, and the lowest determination rate is assigned to the prefetching notice effect mode pattern STP2-1. .

  When prefetch previewing staging effect is executed according to the prefetch previewing staging effect mode pattern STP2-3 by a part or all of the settings related to the determination ratio, that is, the variable immediately before the variable display (the target variable display) which is the target of the prefetch previewing. In the case where the specific effect is displayed, the possibility of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" (big hit reliability) is high, and the advance notice effect is executed by the advance notice effect mode pattern STP2-1, that is, When the specific effect is executed in the variable display immediately after the advance preview advance effect is started, it can be suggested that the possibility (big hit reliability) that the variable display result will be a "big hit" is low.

  The look-ahead chance correspondence table shown in FIG. 21 is a look-ahead chance eye that is stopped and displayed in a plurality of variable displays until a variable display (a target variable display) which is a target of a pre-read notice is executed in the pre-read notice effect. It is a table showing a correspondence example with a temporary stop symbol for a specific effect to be temporarily stopped when the specific effect is executed in the variable display until the variable display (variable display of the target) which is the target of the advance notice is performed . Here, to temporarily stop the temporary effect design symbol for specific effect when the specific effect is executed, different from temporarily stopping the decorative symbol temporarily in the variable display effect of “pseudo series”, the specific effect is executed. It is to temporarily stop the temporary stop symbol for specific effect on the premise that it is replaced. As shown in FIG. 21, nine types of prefetching chances of prefetching chance eye codes SC01 to SC09 are prepared, and each prefetching chance is odd-numbered or even-numbered. Here, it is assumed that the pre-read chance eye code SC01 has the highest jackpot expectation, and the high pre-read chance code SC09 is lower as it goes to the pre-read chance eye code SC09. That is, the pre-reading chance eye which is formed with the odd design, big hit reliability is higher than the pre-reading chance eye which is formed with the even design, furthermore, 3 figures formed by arranging each left figure-middle figure-right figure in order The smaller the number, the higher the jackpot reliability.

  Also, in the pre-read chance eye correspondence table shown in FIG. 21, it is specified as a specific effect temporary stop symbol (loss symbol) to be temporarily stopped when the specific effect corresponding to each of the pre-read chance eye codes SC01 to SC09 is executed A temporary stop symbol code SC01d to SC09d for effect is set. For example, in the case where it is decided to stop the pre-read chance eye code SC01 “1-5-3” in the first change of the pre-reading advance notice effect mode pattern STP1-1 shown in FIG. 20A, the pre-read chance eye is After temporarily stopping the temporary effect symbol code SC01d "1-8-3" for specific effects that differs only in the middle symbol, after executing the specific effect, the pre-read chance eye code SC01 "1-5-3" is displayed Ru.

  The prefetching chance determination tables shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 are variably displayed in the variable display executed before the variable display (the target variable display) that is the target of the prefetching preview when the prefetching preview effect is executed. FIG. 18 is a table referenced to determine the combination pattern of the pre-read chance eye to be stopped as a result. The look-ahead chance eye determination table shown in FIG. 22 is referred to when the number of pending storages at the time of decision is 3, and the look-ahead chance eye determination table shown in FIG. .

  In the look-ahead chance eye determination table shown in FIG. 22, the look-ahead chance eyes stopped and displayed in the first change and the second change in each look-ahead notice effect mode pattern of the look-ahead notice effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. As a combination, nine patterns of the preread chance eye pattern SCP1-01 to SCP1-09 are set. Moreover, different determination ratios are assigned to each pre-reading chance eye pattern according to the variable display result and the variation pattern. Here, “loss (non-R)” in the look-ahead chance eye determination table shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 is the fluctuation patterns PA1-1 and PA1-2, and “loss (NR)” is the fluctuation pattern PA2-1. "Loss (pseudo NR)" indicates variation patterns PA2-2 and PA2-3, "lost (SR)" indicates variation patterns PA2-4 to PA2-6, and "loss (pseudo SR)" indicates variation pattern PA2-7 -PA2-9 shall be shown, respectively. Also, "big hit (NR)" in the look-ahead chance item determination table changes the variation pattern PB1-1, "big hit (pseudo NR)" changes the variation patterns PB1-2 and PB1-3, and "big hit (SR)" changes. In the patterns PB1 to PB1-6, "big hit (pseudo-SR)" indicates variation patterns PB1 to PB1-9, respectively.

  As shown in the pre-read chance eye determination table of FIG. 22, when the variable display result is "loss", the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 are not based on the fluctuation pattern. , “Left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol”, “1-5-3” (preread chance eye code SC01) is continuously displayed as a stop at the first change time and the second change. The lowest decision ratio is assigned to 01, and “8-6-4” (look-ahead code SC09) is stopped and displayed continuously at the first fluctuation and the second fluctuation, and is the most likely to be a read-ahead pattern SCP1-09 A high percentage of decisions are assigned. In addition, the determination ratio gradually increases from the first read chance eye pattern SCP1-01 to SCP1-09, and the maximum determination ratio as it goes from "loss (non-R)" to "loss (pseudo-SR)" The difference between the minimum values is smaller.

  On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit", "left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol" in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 regardless of the fluctuation pattern. As a first decision probability is assigned to the first chance pattern SCP1-01 for which the first chance code pattern SCP1-01 is stopped and displayed continuously at the first change time and the second time variation, The lowest decision ratio is assigned to the pre-reading chance eye pattern SCP1-09 in which “8-6-4” (pre-reading chance eye code SC09) is stopped and displayed continuously at the time of 1 fluctuation and the 2nd fluctuation. In addition, the determination ratio gradually decreases from the first read chance eye pattern SCP1-01 to SCP1-09, and the maximum and the minimum determination ratio from "big hit (pseudo SR)" to "big hit (NR)" The difference between the values is smaller.

  If the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed by the pre-reading chance eye pattern SCP1-01 by a part or all of the settings relating to such a determination ratio, the possibility (big hit reliability) of the variable display result is the highest. If the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed by the pre-reading chance eye pattern SCP1-09, it can be suggested that the possibility (big hit reliability) of the variable display result being the "big hit" is the lowest.

  In the look-ahead chance eye determination table shown in FIG. 23, the look-ahead chance eyes stopped and displayed in the first change to the third change respectively in the look-ahead advance notice effect mode patterns of the look-ahead notice effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. As a combination, 12 patterns of preread chance eye pattern SCP2-01 to SCP2-12 are set. Moreover, different determination ratios are assigned to each pre-reading chance eye pattern according to the variable display result and the variation pattern.

  As shown in the pre-read chance eye determination table of FIG. 23, when the variable display result is "loss", the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 are not based on the fluctuation pattern. , "Left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol", "1-5-3" (preread chance eye code SC01) is continuously displayed for the first time from the first change time to the third change time. The lowest decision ratio is assigned to -01, and "8-6-4" (prefetch chance eye code SC09) is continuously displayed from the first fluctuation time to the third fluctuation time. Prefetch chance eye pattern SCP2-12 Is assigned the highest percentage of decisions. In addition, the determination rate gradually increases from the preread chance eye pattern SCP2-01 to SCP1-12, and the maximum value of the determination rate increases from “loss (non-R)” to “loss (pseudo-SR)”. The difference between the minimum values is smaller.

  On the other hand, when the variable display result is "big hit", "left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol" in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 regardless of the fluctuation pattern. As the first change probability pattern SCP2-01 in which “1-5-3” (prediction chance eye code SC01) is stopped and displayed continuously from the first fluctuation time to the third fluctuation time is assigned the highest determination ratio, The lowest decision ratio is assigned to the prefetching chance eye pattern SCP2-12 in which “8-6-4” (prefetching chance eye code SC09) is stopped and displayed continuously from the first fluctuation time to the third fluctuation time. In addition, the determination rate gradually decreases from the preread chance eye pattern SCP2-01 to SCP1-12, and the determination rate maximum value and the minimum value from "big hit (pseudo SR)" to "big hit (NR)" The difference between the values is smaller.

  In the case where the prefetching notice effect is executed by the prefetching chance eye pattern SCP2-01 by a part or all of the settings related to the determination ratio, the possibility (big hit reliability) of the variable display result being the "big hit" is the highest. If the pre-reading advance notice effect is executed by the pre-reading chance eye pattern SCP2-12, it can be suggested that the possibility (big hit reliability) that the variable display result will be "big hit" is the lowest.

  In addition, in the pre-reading chance eye decision table which is shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23, as the variable indication which becomes the announcement object of the pre-reading advance notice production is executed plural times the pre-reading which is formed with the even design A large number of preread chance eye patterns may be adopted, such as transition from a chance eye to a preread chance eye consisting of an odd symbol having a high hit probability.

Returning to the description of the on-hold display setting process shown in FIG. 18, after executing the process of step S505, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not preview advance notice effect is to be executed (step S506). Based on the determination result of step S505, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not preview advance notice effect is to be executed. If it is determined that the read-ahead warning is executed (step S506; Yes), presentation control CPU120 is set with set during prefetch announcement execution flag to ON state, the count value in the look-ahead announcement execution counter according pending memory number Then, setting is made to start pre-reading advance notice effect (step S507). The pre-reading advance notice execution counter is a counter for counting the number of times of the variable display performed before the start of the pre-change indication to be made advance notice in the pre-reading advance notice effect.

  After executing the process of step S507, or when it is determined as Yes in the process of step S502, when it is determined as No in the process of step S504, in any of the cases where it is determined as No in the process of step S506, effect control The CPU 120 causes the first hold display unit 5HL or the second hold display unit 5HR to additionally display the first hold display or the second hold display according to the received start winning game command (step S508).

  After executing the process of step S508, or when it is determined that the start winning command has not been received in the process of step S501 (step S501; No), is the CPU 120 for effect control received a variation start designation command? It is determined whether or not it is (step S509). For example, the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation start designation command by referring to whether or not either the first variation start designation command reception flag or the second variation start designation command reception flag is set. It is sufficient to determine the When it is determined that the change start designation command has not been received (step S509; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the hold display setting process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the change start designation command has been received (step S509; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 displays the hold display in the first hold display unit 5HL or the second hold display unit 5HR according to the received change specification command. The hold display corresponding to the number "1" is erased, and is displayed as the active display on the variable display correspondence display unit AHA (step S510).

  After executing step S5510, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the hold display numbers "2" to "4" other than the hold display number "1" in the first hold display unit 5HL or the second hold display unit 5HR. The hold display is moved (shifted) one by one to the right or left, and the command buffer in the first start winning shown in FIG. 15A or the command buffer in the second starting winning shown in FIG. 15B. The stored contents corresponding to the pending display number “1” are deleted, and the stored contents corresponding to the pending display numbers “2” to “4” are shifted one by one (step S 511). After executing the process of step S511, the effect control CPU 120 ends the pending display setting process.

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart of the effect control process shown in FIG. 17, after executing the hold display setting process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 performs the effect provided in a predetermined area (for example, effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122 Depending on the value of the process flag, any one of the processes of steps S170 to S175 described below is selected and executed.

  The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0". Whether the variable display start waiting process starts variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not the first change start specification command or the second change start specification command is received from the main substrate 11 or not It includes the process of determining whether or not it is not.

  The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". This variable display start setting process is a decorative symbol on image display device 5 in response to the start of variable display of the special symbol in the special drawing game by first special symbol display device 4A or second special symbol display device 4B. In order to perform variable display of and various other rendering operations, processing for determining a finalized decorative pattern and various rendering control patterns according to the variation pattern of the special symbol, the type of display result, etc. is included.

  The variable display effect process of step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In the variable display effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120 controls various control data from the effect control pattern corresponding to the timer value in the effect control process timer provided in a predetermined area (such as the effect control timer setting unit) of the RAM 122 To perform various effect control during variable display of the decorative symbol. After performing such effect control, for example, the end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read out from the special pattern fluctuation effect control pattern, or the symbol determination command transmitted from the main substrate 11 is received. In response to the event, etc., the finalized stop design is displayed as the final stop design which is the result of the variable display of the decorative design. When the finalized decoration symbol is completely stopped and displayed, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "3".

  The process for waiting for a special figure in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the rendering process flag is "3." In the special-image-per-wait process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hit start designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received. Then, when the hit start designation command is received, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to “4” which is a value corresponding to the big hit during the rendering processing. On the other hand, when the effect control process timer times out without receiving the hit start designation command, it is determined that the special figure display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the value of the effect process flag is initialized. Update to the value "0".

  The special winning opening open process of step S174 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4." In this big winning opening open process, for example, the effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the big hit gaming state, and the effect image based on the setting content is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 A game effect lamp is displayed by outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by displaying or outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13 and outputting a command (electric decoration signal) to the lamp control board 14 9. Perform various effect control in the big hit gaming state, such as turning on / off / flashing the LED for decoration 9 or decoration. In the special winning opening open process, for example, the value of the effect control process flag is set to “5” corresponding to the ending effect process in response to the reception of the big hit end designation command from the main substrate 11. Update.

  The ending effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". In this ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state, and displays an effect image based on the setting content on the screen of the image display device 5. Or, by outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by the output of a command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13, the game effect lamp 9 or decoration by the output of a command (electric decoration signal) to the lamp control board 14 Various effect control at the end of the big hit gaming state, such as turning on / off / flashing the LED, is executed. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process executed in step S171 of FIG. When the variable display start setting process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first makes a special determination based on, for example, a display result specification command (a command stored in the display result specification command storage area) transmitted from the main board 11 or the like. It is determined whether the figure display result is "loss" (step S551). When it is determined that the special view display result is "loss" (step S551; Yes), for example, the effect control CPU 120 is a fluctuation pattern designation command (stored in the fluctuation pattern designation command storage area transmitted from the main substrate 11) Whether the fluctuation pattern specified by the command) is the non-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1, PA1-2) corresponding to the case of “non-reach” in which the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode It determines (step S552).

  If it is determined in the process of step S552 that the pattern is a non-reach fluctuation pattern (step S552; Yes), the CPU 120 for effect control determines a combination of finalized design symbols that will be the final stop design that constitutes the non-reach combination (step S553). ). The effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, numerical data representing a random value for decorative symbol determination for non-reach combination, which is updated by a random counter for effect provided in a predetermined area of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122. The determined decoration pattern (the decoration pattern of the non-reach combination) is determined by referring to the decoration pattern determination table of the non-reach combination stored and prepared in advance.

  If it is determined in the process of step S552 that the pattern is not a non-reach variation pattern (step S552; No), the CPU 120 for effect control determines a combination of finalized design symbols that will be the final stop symbols constituting the reach combination (step S554) . The CPU 120 for effect control extracts, for example, numerical data indicating random numbers for determining the decorative symbol of the reach combination updated by the random number circuit 124 or the random counter for effect, etc. The finalized decorative symbol (the decorative symbol of the reach combination) is determined by referring to the decorative symbol determination table of FIG.

  When it is determined in the process of step S551 that the special view display result is not "losing" (step S551; No), the CPU for effect control 120 determines the combination of the finalized decorative symbol that will be the final stop symbol constituting the big hit combination. (Step S555). The CPU 120 for effect control extracts, for example, numerical value data indicating a random number value for determining a big hit determination symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the random counter for effect or the like. Subsequently, according to the jackpot type specified by the display result designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11, by referring to the jackpot finalized symbol determination table stored and prepared in advance in the ROM 121, the image display device 5 is obtained. Decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R "left", "middle", "right" in the display area are identical to the decorative symbol display symbol number displayed in the stop display.

  After executing any of the processes in steps S553, S554, and S555, the CPU for effect control 120 executes a prefetch notice setting process (step S557). In this embodiment, prior to the start of the variable display which is the object of advance notice, the chance of prefetching continuously continuously over the variable display of the decorative symbol executed a plurality of times based on the pending storage of the special drawing game by the occurrence of the start winning By displaying the eyes in a stopped state, a pre-reading advance notice effect is performed to give notice of the possibility that the variable display result of the variable display to be the advance notice target will be a "big hit". In addition, when pre-reading advance notice production is executed, the specified production which changes the temporarily stopped lost design in the pre-reading opportunity in either of the variable display before the variable display which becomes announcement object is started is executed Be done.

  FIG. 25 is a flow chart showing an example of pre-reading advance notice setting processing executed in step S557 of FIG. When the prefetch notice setting process is started, the CPU 120 for effect control first determines whether a prefetch notice execution flag is in the on state (step S601). If it is determined that the pre-reading advance notice execution flag is off, that is, it is determined that the pre-reading advance notice effect is not being executed (step S601; No), the CPU 120 for effect control ends the pre-reading notice setting process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the prefetch notice execution underway flag is in the on state, that is, it is determined that the prefetch notice announcement effect is being executed (step S601; Yes), the CPU 120 for production control controls the prefetch notice execution counter value Based on the pattern and the pre-read chance eye pattern, effect execution setting for performing pre-read advance notice effect is performed (step 602). The effect control CPU 120 specifies the prefetch chance eye to be stopped in the current variable display, based on the prefetch advance notice execution counter value, the prefetch notice effect mode pattern and the prefetch chance eye pattern. In addition, when it is the variable indication which executes specified production, the specified effect execution flag for pre-reading notice which shows that specified production is executed in pre-reading advance notice production is set to on state, specifies temporary stop design for specified production .

  After executing the processing of step 602, the CPU for effect control 120 subtracts 1 from the prefetch notice execution counter value (step S603), and determines whether the prefetch notice execution counter value is 0 (step S604). If it is determined that the prefetch advance notice execution counter value is 0 (step S604; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 clears the prefetch notice execution underway flag (step S605).

  After executing the process of step S605, or when it is determined in the process of step S604 that the prefetch notice execution counter value is not 0 (step S604; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the prefetch notice effect setting process. .

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart of the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 24, after executing the process of step S557, the CPU for effect control 120 executes an effect setting process during variable display (step S558). In the present embodiment, when the pseudo-series variable display effect is executed, the pseudo-series chance eye is temporarily stopped and displayed in a plurality of variable displays including the first variation (simulated series fluctuation). Further, when the pseudo-series variable display effect is executed, as in the case of the pre-reading preview effect, the specific effect of changing the lost symbol displayed as a temporary stop in the pseudo-series chance is executed.

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process executed in step S558 of FIG. When the variable display start setting process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the current variable display is a fluctuation pattern accompanied by a pseudo continuous fluctuation (step S701). The effect control CPU 120 may determine, for example, based on the variation pattern determination result designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11, whether or not it is a variation pattern with pseudo continuous variation.

  If it is determined that the current variable display is a fluctuation pattern with pseudo run variation (step SS 701; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 sets the pseudo run execution flag to the on state (step S 702). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines the pseudo continuous effect mode pattern and the pseudo continuous chance pattern according to the number of times of execution of the pseudo continuous change (step S703). The effect control CPU 120 is prepared, for example, by storing in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM 121, the simulated connected rendering mode determination table shown in FIG. 27, the simulated connected chance correspondence table shown in FIG. 28, the simulated connected chance shown in FIG. The pseudo sequence effect pattern and the pseudo sequence pattern may be determined with reference to the eye determination table.

  The pseudo connection effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27 is a table that is referred to to determine the display mode when the pseudo connection effect is executed. FIG. 27 (A) is a pseudo continuous effect aspect pattern determination table referred to when the pseudo continuous fluctuation is one time, and FIG. 27 (B) is referred to when the pseudo continuous fluctuation is two times. FIG. 27 (C) is a pseudo continuous effect mode pattern determination table that is referred to when the pseudo continuous change is three times.

  In the pseudo-series effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27A, in the pseudo-series first variation (first variation), the lost symbol different from the pseudo series chance is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pseudo The pseudo-rendering effect pattern GTP1-1 in which the consecutive chance eyes are displayed is set. In the simulated rendition effect pattern GTP1-1, the final stop symbol is derived and displayed in the simulated ream second variation following the pseudo ream first variation. A determination ratio of 100% is assigned to both “losing (NR)” indicating fluctuation pattern PA2-2 and “big hit (NR)” indicating fluctuation pattern PB1-2, and fluctuation pattern PA2-2 , And PB1-2, the specific effect is executed in the pseudo reciprocation first variation.

  27. In the simulated sequential effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27B, two pseudo sequential effect mode patterns are set according to the execution timing of the specific effect. In the simulated rendition effect mode pattern GTP2-1, after the false reaming symbol different from the pseudo reaming chance is temporarily stopped and the specific effect is executed in the first change among the first reiteration and the second change. , A pseudo reunion chance eye is displayed. In addition, in the second change, the simulated chance is directly stopped. In the pseudo-series effect mode pattern GTP2-2, among the pseudo-series first variation and the pseudo-series second variation, the first series directly stops the pseudo series chance, and the second variation is different from the pseudo series chance The false symbol is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pseudo continuous chance eye is displayed. In addition, in any of pseudo | simulation continuation production aspect pattern GTP2-1 and GTP2-2, a final stop symbol is derived | led-out and displayed in the simulation continuation 3rd fluctuation | variation.

  As shown in the pseudo-series effect mode pattern determination table of FIG. 27B, in the “losing (NR)” indicating the variation pattern PA2-3, the pseudo-series effect mode pattern GTP2- 1 is applied to the pseudo-series effect mode pattern GTP2-1. A decision rate higher than 2 is assigned. On the other hand, in the “big hit (NR)” indicating the variation pattern PB1-3, a determination ratio higher than that of the pseudo-series effect mode pattern GTP2-1 is assigned to the pseudo-series effect mode pattern GTP2-2.

  In the case where the pseudo-rendering effect is executed by the pseudo-rendering rendition mode pattern GTP2-2 by a part or all of the settings related to the determination ratio, that is, the pseudo ream- (2) When the specific effect is executed in the variation, there is a high possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" (big hit reliability), and the pseudo continuous effect is executed by the pseudo continuous effect mode pattern GTP2-1, That is, when the specific effect is executed in the first pseudo fluctuation (first fluctuation) immediately after the pseudo rendering is started, the possibility (big hit reliability) that the variable display result will be "big hit" is low. Can be suggested.

  In the simulated sequential effect mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27C, three pseudo sequential effect mode patterns are set according to the execution timing of the specific effect. In the pseudo ream production mode pattern GTP3-1, after the pseudo ream first fluctuation to the pseudo ream third fluctuation, in the first fluctuation, the lost symbol different from the pseudo ream chance is temporarily stopped and the specific effect is executed. , A pseudo reunion chance eye is displayed. Further, in the pseudo run second variation and the pseudo run third variation, the pseudo run chance is directly stopped. In the pseudo-render effect pattern pattern STP3-2, among the pseudo-render first fluctuation to the pseudo-render third fluctuation, in the pseudo-render first fluctuation and the pseudo-render third fluctuation, the look-ahead chance is directly stopped, and the pseudo rander second fluctuation Then, a lost symbol different from the simulated rendezvous chance is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pseudo recurrent chance is displayed. In the pseudo-render effect mode pattern GTP3-3, among the pseudo-render first variation to the pseudo-render third variation, in the pseudo-render first variation and the pseudo-render second variation, the look-ahead chance is directly stopped, and the pseudo rander third variation Then, a lost symbol different from the simulated rendezvous chance is temporarily stopped, and after the specific effect is executed, the pseudo recurrent chance is displayed. The final stop symbol is derived and displayed in the fourth pseudo-series fluctuation in any of the pseudo series effect mode patterns STP3-1 to STP3-3.

  As shown in the pseudo-series effect aspect pattern determination table in FIG. 27C, “losing (SRA)” indicating the variation pattern PA2-7, “losing (SRB)” indicating the variation pattern PA2-8, and variation pattern PA2- In any of the “loses (SRC)” indicating 9, the highest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo-series effect aspect pattern GTP3-1, and the lowest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo-series effect aspect pattern GTP3-3. On the other hand, in any of the "big hit (SRA)" indicating the variation pattern PB1-7, the "big hit (SRB)" indicating the variation pattern PB1-8, and the "big hit (SRC)" indicating the variation pattern PB1-8. The highest determination rate is assigned to the effect mode pattern GTP3-3, and the lowest decision rate is assigned to the pseudo serial effect mode pattern GTP3-1.

  In the case where the pseudo-rendering effect is executed by the pseudo-rendering rendition mode pattern GTP3-3 by a part or all of the settings relating to the determination ratio, that is, the specific effect is executed in the pseudo rally In this case, the possibility of the variable display result becoming a "big hit" (big hit reliability) is high, and a pseudo-run effect is executed by the pseudo-run effect mode pattern STP3-1, that is, a pseudo-run effect is started. In the case where the specific effect is executed in the subsequent pseudo connected fluctuation (first change), it can be suggested that the possibility of the variable display result being a "big hit" (big hit reliability) is low.

  In the pseudo continuous chance eye correspondence table shown in FIG. 28, in the pseudo continuous effect, the pseudo continuous chance eye to be stopped and displayed in the pseudo continuous motion until the final pseudo continuous motion is executed, and the final pseudo continuous motion are executed. It is a table which shows the example of correspondence with the temporary stop symbol made to stop temporarily, when specific production is performed in the pseudo run change to. As shown in FIG. 28, seven types of pseudo ream chances of pseudo ream chance codes GC01 to SC07 are prepared, and each pseudo ream chance is in ascending order from small numbers to large numbers (so-called order numbers) ). Here, it is assumed that the pseudo recurrent chance code GC01 has the highest jackpot expectation degree, and the jackpot expectation degree decreases toward the pseudo recurrent chance code GC07. That is, the smaller the three-digit number formed by arranging the respective symbols of left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol in order, the higher is the big hit reliability.

  In addition, in the pseudo recurrent chance eye correspondence table shown in FIG. 28, as a temporary stop symbol (lost pattern) when the specific rendition corresponding to each of the pseudo recurrent chance eye codes GC01 to GC07 is executed, temporary stop for a specific effect The symbol codes GC01d to GC07d are set. For example, in the case where it is determined to stop the pseudo run chance code GC03 “3-4-5” in the pseudo run second variation of the pseudo run effect aspect pattern GTP2-2 shown in FIG. 27B, this pseudo run After a specific effect is executed after the temporary effect design symbol code GC03d "3-2-5" for specific effects that differs only in the middle symbol and the chance effect is temporarily stopped, the pseudo run chance eye code GC03 "3-4 "-5" is displayed.

  The pseudo consecutive chance item determination table shown in FIGS. 29A to 29C is a pseudo stop temporarily stopped in the pseudo continuous change performed before the last pseudo continuous change when the pre-reading advance notice effect is performed. It is a table referred to determine the combination pattern of consecutive chance eyes. The pseudo continuous chance determination table shown in FIG. 29A is referred to when the pseudo continuous fluctuation is one time, and the pseudo continuous chance determination table shown in FIG. 29B is the case where the pseudo continuous fluctuation is twice The pseudo connected chance determination table shown in FIG. 29C is referred to when the pseudo connected fluctuation is three times.

  In the pseudo consecutive chance determination table shown in FIG. 29A, the pseudo displayed as a stop in the pseudo consecutive first variation in the pseudo continuous presentation aspect pattern GTP1-1 of the pseudo continuous presentation aspect pattern determination table shown in FIG. As the continuous chance eyes, seven patterns of the pseudo continuous chance eye patterns GCP1-01 to GCP1-07 are set. In addition, different determination ratios are assigned to the respective pseudo connected chance patterns according to the variable display result and the fluctuation pattern.

  As shown in the pseudo run chance eye determination table of FIG. 29 (A), the decoration pattern in the display area of the image display device 5 in the pseudo run first variation in the "loss (NR)" indicating the variation pattern PA2-2 In the display area 5L, 5C, 5R, as "left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol", "1-2-3" (pseudo linked chance eye code GC01) is stopped and displayed in the false linked chance eye pattern GCP 1-01 The highest decision rate is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 1-07 in which the lowest decision rate is assigned and “7-8-9” (pseudo linked chance code GC07) is stopped and displayed. In addition, the determination ratio gradually increases as going from the pseudo linked chance pattern GCP1-01 to GCP1-07.

  On the other hand, in the "big hit (NR)" showing the fluctuation pattern PB1-2, the left symbol-the middle symbol in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 in the pseudo continuous first variation. -The highest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 1-01 in which "1-2-3" (the pseudo run chance eye code GC01) is stopped and displayed as "right symbol", and "7-8-9" The lowest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 1-07 in which (pseudo run chance eye code GC 07) is stopped and displayed. In addition, the determination ratio gradually decreases as going from the pseudo connected chance pattern GCP1-01 to GCP1-07.

  If the pseudo-series effect is executed by the pseudo-series chance pattern GCP 1-01 by a part or all of the settings related to the determination ratio, the possibility that the variable display result will be the “big hit” (big hit reliability) is the most It is possible to suggest that the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" (big hit reliability) is the lowest if the previewed advance presentation effect is executed according to the pseudo connected chance pattern GCP1-07.

  In the pseudo consecutive chance determination table shown in FIG. 29 (B), the pseudo continuous first variation and the pseudo in the pseudo continuous effect aspect patterns GTP2-1 and GTP2-2 of the pseudo continuous effect aspect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 27 (B) Seven patterns of pseudo run chance eye patterns GCP 2-01 to GCP 2-07 are set as the pseudo run chances to be stopped and displayed in the run 2nd change. In addition, different determination ratios are assigned to the respective pseudo connected chance patterns according to the variable display result and the fluctuation pattern.

  As shown in the pseudo-repeating chance determination table of FIG. 29B, the image display device 5 is displayed in the "simulative first fluctuation" and "simulative second fluctuation" in the "loss (NR)" indicating the fluctuation pattern PA2-3. In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of "1," "1-2-3" (pseudo linked chance eye code GC01) is stopped and displayed continuously as "left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol" The lowest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP2-01, and the false run chance eye pattern GCP2-07 is the most frequently displayed with “7-8-9” (pseudo run chance eye code GC07) stopped and displayed continuously. A high percentage of decisions are assigned. In addition, the determination ratio gradually increases as going from the pseudo linked chance pattern GCP2-01 to GCP2-07.

  On the other hand, in the "big hit (NR)" indicating the fluctuation pattern PB1-3, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5 in the pseudo first run and the second run The highest decision ratio is in the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 2-01 where “1-2-3” (pseudo run chance eye code GC 01) is stopped and displayed continuously as “left design − middle design − right design”. The lowest decision ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 1-07 that is assigned and the “7-8-9” (pseudo run chance eye code GC07) is stopped and displayed in the pseudo run 1st change and the pseudo run 2nd change. It is assigned. In addition, the determination ratio gradually decreases as going from the pseudo connected chance pattern GCP1-01 to GCP1-07.

  If the pseudo-series effect is executed by the pseudo-series chance pattern GCP 1-01 by a part or all of the settings related to the determination ratio, the possibility that the variable display result will be the “big hit” (big hit reliability) is the most It is possible to suggest that the possibility of the variable display result being a "big hit" (big hit reliability) is the lowest when the false continuous effect is executed by the false connected chance pattern GCP1-07.

  In the pseudo consecutive chance determination table shown in FIG. 29C, the pseudo consecutive first variation in each pseudo continuous rendering mode pattern of the pseudo continuous rendering mode pattern determination table shown in FIG. Twelve patterns of the pseudo run chance eye patterns GCP3-01 to GCP3-12 are set as the combination of the pseudo run chances to be stopped and displayed. In addition, different determination ratios are assigned to the respective pseudo connected chance patterns according to the variable display result and the fluctuation pattern.

  As shown in the pseudo-sequence determination table in FIG. 29C, "losing (SRA)" indicating the variation pattern PA2-7, "losing (SRB)" indicating the variation pattern PA2-8, variation pattern PA2-9 In any of the “losing (SRC)” showing “,” as the “left symbol-middle symbol-right symbol” in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the image display device 5, from the pseudo-continuous first variation The lowest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP3-01 in which “1-2-3” (the pseudo run chance code GC01) is stopped and displayed continuously over the pseudo run 3rd fluctuation, and the pseudo run 1 A pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 3-12 in which "7-8-9" (pseudo run chance eye code GC07) is stopped and displayed continuously from the change over the pseudo run 3rd change The highest decision ratio is assigned. In addition, the determination ratio gradually increases toward the read-ahead chance eye pattern GCP3-01 to GCP3-12.

  On the other hand, the image is displayed in any of "big hit (SRA)" indicating the variation pattern PB1-7, "big hit (SRB)" indicating the variation pattern PB1-8, and "big hit (SRC)" indicating the variation pattern PB1-9. In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in the display area of the device 5, "1-2-3 as a left symbol-a middle symbol-a right symbol", continuously from a pseudo run first variation to a pseudo run third variation The highest determination ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP3-01 in which the pseudo run chance eye code GC01 is stopped and displayed, and the “7-8” is continuously made from the pseudo run first variation to the pseudo run third variation. The lowest decision ratio is assigned to the pseudo run chance eye pattern GCP 3-12 in which the “9” (the pseudo run opportunity eye code GC 07) is stopped and displayed. In addition, the determination ratio gradually decreases as going from the pseudo linked chance pattern GCP3-01 to GCP3-12.

  When the pseudo-series effect is executed by the pseudo-series chance pattern GCP3-01 by a part or all of the settings relating to the determination ratio, the possibility that the variable display result will be the "big hit" (big hit reliability) is the most It is possible to suggest that the possibility of the variable display result being a "big hit" (big hit reliability) is the lowest when the false continuous effect is executed by the false connected chance pattern GCP3-12.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of the variable display effect setting process shown in FIG. 26, after performing the process of step S703, the effect control CPU 120 executes the pseudo-series effect based on the determination result in the process of step S703. The effect execution setting of is performed (step S704). The effect control CPU 120 specifies a pseudo run chance to be stopped in each pseudo run variation based on the pseudo run effect pattern and the pseudo run pattern. In addition, the CPU for effect control 120 specifies a temporary stop symbol for specific effect in a pseudo continuous change in which the specific effect is executed.

  After executing the process of step S704, or when it is determined in the process of step S701 that the current variable display is not a fluctuation pattern with pseudo continuous fluctuation (step SS701; No), the effect control CPU 120 is variable. While displaying the effect setting process is ended.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 24, after the process of step S558 is performed, the effect control CPU 120 executes a specific effect setting process (step S559).

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of the specific effect setting process executed in step S559 of FIG. When the specific effect setting process is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the pseudo continuous execution flag is in the on state (step S651). If it is determined that the pseudo continuous execution flag is not in the on state, that is, it is determined that the current variable display is not a fluctuation pattern with pseudo continuous (step S651; No), the CPU 120 for production control has a specific notification execution flag for advance notice It is determined whether it is in the on state (step S652).

  When it is determined in the process of step S651 that the pseudo-series execution flag is in the on state (step S651; Yes), or when it is determined in the process of step S652 that the pre-reading advance notice specific effect execution flag is in the on state (step In S652; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines an effect aspect of the specific effect based on each effect aspect pattern (step S653). For example, when the pseudo continuous execution flag is in the on state, the effect control CPU 120 determines the specific effect mode based on the pseudo continuous effect mode pattern and the pseudo continuous chance pattern determined in the process of step S703. Just do it. Further, when the pre-read advance notice specific effect execution flag is in the on state, the pre-read advance notice effect mode pattern and the pre-read chance eye pattern determined in the process of step S505 may be determined the specific effect mode.

  If it is determined in the process of step S652 that the pre-read advance notice specific effect execution flag is not in the on state (step S652; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the fluctuation pattern is PA1-1 or PA1-2. It is determined whether or not it is (step S654). Both PA1-1 and PA1-2 are fluctuation patterns in which the variable display result is "losing" and does not involve reach effect. For example, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the variation pattern is PA1-1 or PA1-2 based on the variation pattern determination result designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11. When it is determined that the fluctuation pattern is either PA1-1 or PA1-2 (step S654; Yes), the CPU 120 for effect control performs so-called specific effect of gasse (hereinafter also referred to as gasse specific effect) It is determined whether or not (step S655). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not to execute the cassette specific effect at a predetermined determination rate (for example, 20% with execution, 80% without execution, etc.). In addition, the process of steps S654 and S655 is a case where neither the simulated ream nor the specific effect accompanying the advance notice effect is executed, and it is determined whether the cassette specific effect is executed only in the case of the non-reach lost fluctuation pattern. To determine the In addition, when the Gasse specific effect is executed, the original specific effect such as changing the lost symbol to the chance symbol is not executed. When a so-called specification identification effect is executed, symbols which do not constitute a chance even if they are replaced with a part of the lost symbols stopped and displayed on the image display device 5 are stopped and displayed after being variably displayed in the sub image device 5C. For this reason, the effect of replacing the symbol stopped and displayed on the sub image display 5C with a part of the lost symbol displayed on the image display 5 is not executed.

  After executing the processing of step S655, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the specific effect is executed (step S656). If it is determined that the specific effect is to be executed (step S656; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect mode of the cassette specific effect (step S657). The effect control CPU 120 may select, for example, either the pre-read chance eye correspondence table shown in FIG. 21 or the specific effect temporary stop symbol set in the pseudo consecutive chance eye correspondence table shown in FIG. The image display device 5 displays the selected temporary effect temporary stop symbol as a final stop symbol. Further, on the sub-image device 5C, it is possible to select and display a symbol that does not constitute either the pre-reading chance eye or the false connection chance eye even if the middle symbol of the temporary effect temporary stop design is replaced.

  In addition, as a temporary stop symbol for a specific effect selected in the process of step S657, a temporary stop symbol for a specific effect corresponding to an eye with a high probability of a big hit with a big hit reliability, for example, a first read chance “1-5 -3 ”(SC01) corresponding temporary stop symbol for specific effects corresponding to“ 3 ”(SC01) and temporary stop symbol“ for specific effects corresponding to false connected chance eyes “1-2-3” (GC01) ” The determination ratio of 1-8-3 "(GC 01 d) may be set low. On the contrary, the determination ratio of the temporary stop symbol for specific effect corresponding to the pre-read chance eye and the false connection chance high in the big hit reliability may be set high.

  After executing the process of step S657, the effect control CPU 120 sets the gasse specific effect execution flag to the on state (step S658). The gasse specific effect execution flag is a flag indicating whether the gasse specific effect is performed. After executing either the process of step S653 or S658, the effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern according to the determination result (step S658). After executing the process of step S659, or when it is determined No in the process of step S654, the effect control CPU 120 ends the specific effect setting process.

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart of the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 24, after executing the process of step S559, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect control pattern to any one of a plurality of prepared patterns (step S560). ). The effect control CPU 120 selects and uses one of a plurality of effect control patterns (special figure change effect control pattern) prepared, for example, corresponding to the change pattern indicated by the change pattern determination result specification command. Set as a pattern.

  Subsequent to the process of step S 560, the effect control CPU 120, for example, corresponds to the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern determination result designation command, the effect provided in a predetermined area (such as the effect control timer setting unit) of the RAM 122 The initial value of the control process timer is set (step S561). Then, setting is made to start the change of the decorative symbol or the like on the display screen of the image display device 5 (step S562). At this time, for example, the effect control CPU 120 causes the display control command specified by the display control data included in the effect control pattern (special pattern fluctuation effect control pattern) determined in the process of step S559 to be VDP of the display control unit 123 Start changing the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the display area of the image display device 5, etc. Just do it.

  After executing the process of step S 562, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to “2” which is a value corresponding to the variable display effect process (step S 563), and then the variable display start setting process Finish.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display effect process executed in step S172 of FIG. When variable-displayed effect processing is started, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variable display time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern has elapsed based on the timer value of the effect control process timer or the like (step S801). . For example, the effect control CPU 120 updates (for example, subtracts 1) the timer value of the effect control process timer, and when the end code is read from the effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value after the update, etc. It may be determined that the variable display time has elapsed.

  When it is determined in the process of step S801 that the variable display time has not elapsed (step S801; No), the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is a specific effect execution period for executing a specific effect ( Step S802). The specific effect execution period may be determined in advance, for example, in the effect control pattern determined in accordance with the fluctuation pattern. The specific effect execution period is set after the temporary stop symbol for the specific effect is temporarily displayed on the image display device 5. If it is determined that it is a specific effect execution period (step S802; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 executes a specific effect control process (step S803).

  FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing an example of the specific effect control process executed in step S 803 of FIG. When the specific effect control process is started, the effect control CPU 120 executes variable display of the decorative symbol on the sub image display device 5S (step S851). Next, the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display in progress on the image display device 5, and displays a temporary stop symbol (step S852). For example, the effect control CPU 120 may cause the image display device 5 to display the lost symbol specified in step 602 or step S704 as a temporary stop symbol. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display of the sub-image display device 5S started in step S851 and stops the decorative symbol (step S853).

  After executing the processing of step S853, the effect control CPU 120 performs display control in such a manner that the decorative symbol stopped and displayed on the sub image display device 5S moves to the image display device 5, and this decorative symbol moves Operation control of the sub image display device 5S is performed in accordance with the timing and direction (step S854).

  After executing the processing of step S854, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether the gasse specific effect execution flag is in the on state (step S855). The gasse specific effect execution flag is turned on when it is determined that the specific effect is to be performed when the fluctuation pattern with the pseudo continuous change is not performed and when it is not the variable display for performing the specific effect in the preview advance notice effect. It is set to the state. When it is determined that the case specific effect execution flag is not in the on state (step S855; No), the CPU 120 for effect control controls the middle symbol forming the lost symbol temporarily displayed on the image display device 5 as the sub image display device 5S. The symbol is replaced with the symbol that has been moved and displayed (step S856). The temporary stop symbol displayed on the image display device 5 is changed from the missing symbol to the pseudo-sequence chance by replacing the symbol moved from the sub image display device 5S with the middle symbol constituting the lost symbol displayed on the image display device 5 It will be either an eye or a look ahead chance eye.

  When it is determined in the process of step S855 that the gasse specific effect execution flag is on (step S855; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 displays the symbol moved from the sub image display device 5S on the image display device 5 The symbol moved from the sub image display device 5S is deleted without replacing it with the middle symbol constituting the lost symbol. That is, on the image display device 5, the lost symbol temporarily stopped in the process of step S852 is displayed as a finalized decorative symbol.

  After executing either the process of step S 856 or S 857, the effect control CPU 120 ends the specific effect control process.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 31, after performing the specific effect control process in step S803, or when it is determined that the specific effect execution period is not in the process of step S802 (step S802; No It is determined whether or not it is a reach effect period for performing the reach effect (step S806). The reach effect period may be determined in advance, for example, in the effect control pattern determined in accordance with the fluctuation pattern. When it is determined that it is a reach effect period (step S806; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 performs control to execute reach effect (step S807).

  After executing the process of step S807, or when it is determined that the reach effect period is not in the process of step S806 (step S806; No), for example, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect determined according to the fluctuation pattern. In addition, based on the setting etc. in the control pattern, the control for executing the effect during the variable display including the variable display operation of the decorative symbol is performed (step 808).

  When it is determined in the process of step S801 that the variable display time has elapsed (step S801; Yes), the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not the symbol determination command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received (step S809). ). When it is determined that the symbol determination command is not received (step S809; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display effect processing and stands by. In addition, after the variable display time elapses, when the predetermined time elapses without receiving the symbol determination command, a predetermined error processing is executed in response to the failure to receive the symbol determination command normally. You may

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the symbol determination command has been received in the process of step S809 (step S809; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 transmits, for example, a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123 or the like. Control is performed to derive and display the final stop symbol (decided ornament symbol) to be the display result in the variable display of the ornament symbol, such as causing it to be displayed (step S810). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 sets a predetermined time predetermined as the jackpot start designation command reception waiting time (step S811). Next, the CPU for effect control 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to “3” which is a value corresponding to the special processing per wait processing (step S812), and ends the variable display effect processing.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 33 and FIG. 34, an example of the rendering operation in the case where the specific rendering is executed in the previewed preview rendering will be described. Here, as an example of the rendering operation, a case will be described where the previewing preview rendering and the specific rendering are executed based on the previewing preview rendering mode pattern STP1-2 and the prefetching chance eye pattern SCP1-02. Moreover, the case where the so-called specific effect production is performed will also be described.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (A), on the display screen of the image display device 5, the "second variation" in the pre-reading advance notice effect mode pattern STP1-2 is under execution, and the decoration is displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Variable display of the symbol is being executed. Further, in the sub-image display device 5S, the active display AH is displayed in the active display area AHA as a variable display correspondence display corresponding to the variable display being executed, and the first hold display unit 5HL has a hold display number "1". The first hold displays H1 to H3 corresponding to “3” are displayed. Here, it is assumed that the second pending storage number is “0” and that the second pending display in the second pending display unit 5HR is not displayed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 33B, on the display screen of the image display device 5, the variable display of the decorative symbol that was being executed in FIG. 33A ends, and the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, The missing symbol "3-2-5" is displayed in 5R. This is based on the pre-reading notice effect mode pattern STP1-2, the pre-reading chance eye pattern SCP1-02, the temporary stop symbol code SC02 d (“the temporary stop symbol code corresponding to the pre-reading opportunity eye code SC02 (“ 3-7-5 ”) 3-2-5 ") is temporarily stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (C) in conjunction with the temporary effect design symbol for specific effect being displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 in FIG. 33 (B), the display screen of the sub image display device 5S is suspended. The display is erased and variable display of the decorative pattern is started.

  After the predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 33D, the variable display of the decorative symbol on the sub image display device 5S ends, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 33D, on the display screen of the sub-image display device 5S, the numeric symbol "7" which is the middle symbol of the pre-reading chance eye "3-7-5" is stopped and displayed.

  FIGS. 34 (E) to 34 (H), which follow FIG. 33 (D), show an effect screen in the case where the specific effect is executed in the pre-reading advance notice effect. On the other hand, FIGS. 34 (I) to (L), which follow FIG. 33 (D), show an effect screen in the case where a so-called specific effect of caste is executed.

  First, with reference to FIGS. 34 (E) to (H), an example of a rendering operation in the case where a specific rendering is performed in the previewed preview rendering will be described. As shown in FIG. 34E, the numeral symbol "7" displayed on the display screen of the sub image display 5S moves upward and is displayed on the image display 5. Further, the sub-image display device 5S performs an operation of jumping upward from the predetermined position along with the movement of the numeral symbol "7". Further, the size of the number symbol "2" displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5C of the image display device 5 is displayed so as to gradually decrease.

  As shown in FIG. 34F, the numeral symbol "7" displayed on the display screen of the sub image display device 5S moves further upward, and similarly, the sub image display device 5S also moves further upward. Further, the numeral symbol "2" of the decorative symbol display area 5C of the image display device 5 is moved upward so as to be pushed up to the numeral symbol "7" moved from the sub image display device 5S.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 34 (G), on the display screen of the image display device 5, the numeral symbol "2" is erased and the numeral symbol "7" displayed on the sub image display device 5S is displayed as a decorative symbol It is displayed in the area 5C. As a result, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the pre-reading chance eye "3-7-5" is displayed. Further, the sub-image display device 5S moves (drops) to a predetermined position, and a hold display and an active display are displayed on the display screen.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 34H, variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the hold display H1 is started in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5, and along with this, the active display area Active display AH corresponding to pending display H1 is newly displayed on AHA. The started variable display is a variable display (target variable display) to be notified, and the variable display result is derived and displayed after elapse of the special figure fluctuation time.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 34 (I) to (L), an example of a rendering operation in the case where a so-called specification specific rendering is performed will be described. In addition, although the description which referred the above-mentioned FIG. 33 (A)-(D) was performed on the assumption that a specific effect is performed in pre-reading advance notice production, about the production operation, the so-called specific effect of a gusset is performed The same applies to the case of

  As shown in FIG. 34 (I), the numeral symbol "7" displayed on the display screen of the sub image display 5S moves upward and is displayed in such a manner as to move to the image display 5. Further, the sub-image display device 5S performs an operation of jumping up from the predetermined position in accordance with the movement of the number symbol "7". In addition, the size of the number symbol "2" in the decorative symbol display area 5C of the image display device 5 is displayed so as to gradually decrease.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 34 (J), the numeral symbol “7” displayed on the display screen of the sub image display 5S moves further upward toward the display image of the image display 5, but It has not risen much compared to 34 (I). Similarly, the change in the operation of the sub-image display device 5S is not so much. As described above, when a so-called specific effect is executed, the image displayed on the sub-image display device 5S and the sub-image display device 5S itself are compared with the case where the specific effect is executed in the pre-reading preview effect. Movement (motion) is small. On the other hand, although the number symbol "2" of the decorative symbol display area 5C of the image display device 5 is once displayed small in FIG. 34 (I), its size is gradually returning to the original size.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 34 (K), on the display screen of the image display device 5, the number symbol "7" is erased and the number symbol "2" displayed in the symbol display area 5C is the original size. Is displayed. Thereby, the lost symbol "3-2-5" is displayed as a variable display result in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Further, the sub-image display device 5S moves (drops) to a predetermined position, and a hold display and an active display are displayed on the display screen.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 34 (L), variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the hold display H1 is started in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5, and along with this, the active display area Active display AH corresponding to pending display H1 is newly displayed on AHA.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35, an example of an effect operation in the case where the specific effect is executed when the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed will be described. Here, as an example of the rendering operation, a case will be described where the simulated serial rendering and the specific rendering are executed based on the pseudo serial rendering aspect pattern GTP2-2 and the pre-reading chance eye pattern GCP2-04.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (A), on the display screen of the image display device 5, the "simulated continuous second variation" in the simulated connected effect aspect pattern GTP2-2 is being executed, and the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The variable display of the decoration pattern is under execution in. Further, in the sub-image display device 5S, the active display AH is displayed in the active display area AHA as a variable display correspondence display corresponding to the variable display being executed, and the first hold display unit 5HL has a hold display number "1". The first hold displays H1 to H3 corresponding to “3” are displayed. Here, it is assumed that the second pending storage number is “0” and that the second pending display in the second pending display unit 5HR is not displayed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 35B, on the display screen of the image display device 5, the variable display of the decorative symbol which was being executed in FIG. 35A ends, and the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, In 5R, a missing symbol "4-3-6" is displayed. This is based on the pseudo continuous rendition mode pattern GTP2-2 and the pseudo recurrent chance eye pattern GCP2-04, a temporary stop symbol code GC04d for a specific effect corresponding to the pseudo recurrent chance eye code GC04 ("4-5-6"). ("4-3-6") has been temporarily stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (C) as the temporary rendering symbol for specific effect is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 in FIG. 35 (B), the display screen of the sub-image display device 5S is suspended. The display is erased and variable display of the decorative pattern is started.

  After the predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 35 (D), the variable display of the decorative symbol in the sub image display device 5S ends, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 35 (D), on the display screen of the sub-image display device 5S, the number symbol "5" which is the middle symbol of the pre-reading chance eye "4-5-6" is stopped and displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 35 (E), the number symbol “5” displayed on the display screen of the sub image display 5S moves upward and is displayed on the image display 5 . Further, the sub-image display device 5S performs an operation of jumping upward along with the movement of the numeral symbol "5" from the predetermined position. In addition, the size of the number symbol "3" displayed in the decorative symbol display area 5C of the image display device 5 is displayed so as to gradually decrease.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 35F, on the display screen of image display device 5, numeral symbol "3" is erased and numeral symbol "5" displayed on sub image display device 5S is displayed as a decorative symbol It is displayed in the area 5C. As a result, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the pseudo continuous chance eye "4-5-6" is displayed. Further, the sub-image display device 5S moves (drops) to a predetermined position, and a hold display and an active display are displayed on the display screen.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 35 (G), the last pseudo-series change is started in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5. After the last pseudo recurrent fluctuation time has elapsed, finally, the variable display result is derived and displayed.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and the like, and various modifications and applications are possible. In the above embodiment, the display displayed on the sub-image display device 5S is moved to the image display device 5 when the pre-reading advance notice effect or the variable display with the change pattern with the pseudo-link is executed. Performed a specific effect. However, the present invention is not limited to the case where variable display is performed by the change pattern accompanied by the preview advance notice effect or the pseudo sequence, for example, even when the continuous effect is continuously executed when the reach effect is performed. Good. Hereinafter, continuous specific effects performed during reach effect execution will be described.

  In the above embodiment, when executing the continuous specified effect during reach effect execution, for example, in the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 24, the continuous specified effect is set before the process of step S560. Add and execute setting processing. In the continuous specific effect setting process, a plurality of specific effects which are displayed in such a manner that an image showing acquired points obtained by the player's continuous hit operation of the push button 31B is moved from the sub image display 5S to the image display 5 And a button-pressing effect for announcing whether or not the jackpot will be a big hit depending on whether or not the character works in response to the player's one-stroke pressing of the push button 31B. The effect mode of continuous specific effects including is set. In addition, during execution of the continuous specified effect, reliability notification to notify of the jackpot expectation is performed. In the reliability notification, a big hit reliability is notified by displaying star images imitating different numbers of stars according to the type of super reach. In addition, it shall show that a big hit reliability is so high that there are many star images displayed. In the present embodiment, in the case of the fluctuation pattern including the super reach C, the continuous specified effect is performed.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing an example of the continuous specified effect setting process which is executed in addition to the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. When the continuous specific setting effect is executed, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not it is a fluctuation pattern including the super reach C (step S901). For example, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the variation pattern including the super reach C is based on the variation pattern determination result designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11. When it is determined that the variation pattern does not include the super reach C (step S902; No), the CPU for effect control 120 ends the variable display start setting process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation pattern includes the super reach C (step S902; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 sets the continuous specific effect execution flag to the on state (step S902). The continuous specified effect execution flag is a flag indicating whether or not the continuous specified effect is performed.

  After executing the processing of step S902, the CPU for effect control 120 determines an effect aspect of the continuous specific effect (step S903). The effect control CPU 120 refers to, for example, a button continuous hit effect included in the continuous specified effect with reference to the button continuous hit result determination table shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to decide each presentation aspect of a button one-shot depression production.

  The button continuous hit presentation effect mode determination table shown in FIG. 37A is a table referred to in order to determine the result mode of the button continuous hit presentation. The result mode of the button continuous hit production is divided into a success mode and a failure mode depending on whether the points acquired by the player's continuous hit operation on the push button 31B reach the target value. As shown in FIG. 37A, in the variation pattern (PB1-6, PB1-9, PA2-6, PA2-9) including the super reach C, whether the variable display result is "big hit" or "loss" Depending on the existence, different determination rates are assigned to the “success mode” indicating that the acquired points reach the target value and the “failure mode” indicating that the acquired points do not reach the target value. In the button continuous hitting effect, the pressing operation of the push button 31B by the player is detected by the push sensor 35B, and when the number of valid hitting judged to be valid among the pressing operations detected by the push sensor 35B becomes 10, it is specified An effect is performed, and this specific effect can be performed up to three times. In addition, when the total of the acquisition points (total acquisition points) obtained each time the specific effect is executed reaches the target value 120 points (success mode), the jackpot is determined. Therefore, when the variable display result is "losing", the determination ratio is allocated only to the "failure mode". On the other hand, when the variable display result is a "big hit", a higher determination ratio is assigned to the "success mode" than the "failure mode".

  The button continuous hitting effect mode determination tables shown in FIGS. 37 (B) and 37 (C) are tables referred to in order to determine the effect mode of the button continuous hit effect. The button continuous hitting effect mode determination table shown in FIG. 37 (B) is a table to be referred to when the button continuous hit effect is a success mode. Further, the button continuous hitting effect mode determination table shown in FIG. 37 (C) is a table to be referred to when the button continuous hit effect is a failure mode.

  In the button continuous hitting production mode determination table of FIG. 37 (B), the button continuous hitting presentation mode patterns BP 1-01 to BP 1-06 are set according to the acquired points obtained each time the specific production is executed, and the patterns are determined. Percentages are assigned. The numerical value of “total acquisition points” of each button continuous hit presentation mode pattern is all 120 of the target value. In the "big hit (SRC)" where the variable display result is "big hit" and the super reach C is executed, the numerical value of the "first winning point" obtained when the first specific effect is executed is high. A high determination ratio is assigned to the button continuous hit presentation mode patterns BP1-06 and BP1-05. On the other hand, the numerical value of the "first acquisition point" obtained when the first specific effect is performed is low, and the numerical value of the "third acquired point" obtained when the third specific effect is performed is A low determination ratio is assigned to the high button continuous hit presentation mode patterns BP1-01 and BP1-02. Note that no decision ratio is assigned to "losing (SRC)" in which the variable display result is "losing" and Super Reach C is executed, since the button continuous hitting effect is not executed in the success mode. .

  In the button continuous hit presentation mode determination table of FIG. 37C, button continuous hit presentation mode patterns BP2-01 to BP2-07 are set according to the obtained points and the total obtained points obtained each time the specific effect is executed, A decision rate is assigned to each pattern. In the case of "big hit (SRC)", a high determination ratio is assigned to the button continuous hitting effect aspect pattern BP2-07, BP1-06 where the numbers of "total winning points" and "first winning points" are high, and "total winning points" A low determination ratio is assigned to the button continuous hitting effect aspect patterns BP2-01 and BP2-02 in which the numerical values of “1st acquisition point” are low. On the other hand, in the case of "losing (SRC)", a low determination ratio is assigned to the button continuous hitting effect aspect pattern BP2-07, BP1-06 having a high numerical value of "total acquisition point" and "first acquired point", and "total A high determination ratio is assigned to the button continuous hitting effect aspect patterns BP2-01 and BP2-02 in which the numerical values of “acquisition points” and “first acquired points” are low.

  With some or all of the settings related to the percentage of such decisions, it is a big hit if the button continuous hitting effect is executed in the success mode, and even if it is executed in the failure mode, the total earned points are close to the target value It can be suggested that the greater the numerical value, the higher the possibility (big hit reliability) that the variable display result will be a "big hit".

  Returning to the explanation of the flowchart of the continuous specified effect setting process shown in FIG. 36, after executing the process of step S903, the effect control CPU 120 determines an effect mode of the button one-shot effect (step S904). Since the button one-shot depression effect is an effect notifying the result of the success or failure lottery, the effect control CPU 120 executes the button one-stroke depression effect according to the success mode when the variable display result is “big hit”, and the variable display If the result is "losing", one button pressing effect according to the failure mode is executed, and if the variable display result is "big hit", it is determined to execute the button one pressing effect according to the success mode.

  Subsequently, based on the determination result in the processing of steps S903 and 904, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect execution setting for executing the continuous specified effect (step S905), and ends the continuous specified effect setting process.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when executing the continuous identification effect during execution of the super reach C, for example, in the variable display effect process shown in FIG. The continuous specific effect control process is added and executed. The continuous specific effect control process controls continuous specific effects including button continuous hit effects and button one-shot effects.

  FIG. 38 is a flow chart showing an example of the continuous specified effect control process to be executed in addition to the variable display effect process shown in FIG. When the variable display effect process is started, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the button continuous hit effect execution flag is on (step S951). The button continuous hitting effect execution flag is a flag indicating whether or not the button continuous hit effect is being executed. If it is determined that the button continuous hitting effect execution flag is in the on state (step S951; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to step S955. On the other hand, when it is determined that the button continuous hitting effect in progress flag is not in the on state (step S951; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the button one blow pressing effect in progress flag is in the on state ( Step S951). The button one-shot depression effect execution flag is a flag indicating whether the button one-stroke depression effect is being performed. When it is determined that the button one-shot depression effect execution flag is in the on state (step S952: Yes), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to step S972.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the button one-shot depression effect execution flag is not in the on state (step S952; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines that the effective touch counter value m, the specific effect execution counter value n, and the total acquisition point P Is initialized (step S953). As a result, initialization of a counter or the like required to start the button continuous hit effect is performed. Here, the effective touch counter value m indicates the count value of the effective touch counter that counts the number of effective strikes in the continuous hitting operation of the push button 31B of the player. The specific effect execution counter value n indicates the count value of the specific effect execution counter that counts the number of times of execution of the specific effect. The total acquisition points P indicate the total (total acquisition points) of acquisition points acquired for each specific performance executed in the continuous specific performance.

  After executing the processing of step S953, the effect control CPU 120 sets the button continuous hit effect executing flag in the on state (step S954) and sets the button continuous hit effect execution period timer (step S955). The button continuous hit effect execution period timer is a timer that counts the execution period of the button continuous hit effect.

  After executing the processing of step S954, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the button continuous hit effect execution period has elapsed (step S956). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the button continuous hit effect execution period has elapsed by referring to the button continuous hit effect execution period timer. If it is determined that the button continuous hitting effect execution period has elapsed (step S956; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 advances the process to step S970. On the other hand, when it is determined that the button continuous hit effect execution period has not elapsed (step S956; No), the effect control CPU 120 displays an image of a button continuous hit instruction image for instructing the player to continuously hit the push button 31B. It displays on the display screen of the apparatus 5 (step S957).

  After executing the processing of step S957, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the player has performed a pressing operation on the push button 31B (step S958). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the player has pressed the push button 31B based on the detection result of the push sensor 35B. When it is determined that the player does not press the push button 31B (step S958; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the continuous specific effect control process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the player has pressed the push button 31B (step S958; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the pressing of the push button 31B is an effective hit ( Step S959). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not the pushing of the push button 31B detected by the push sensor 35B is valid with a predetermined probability (for example, a probability of 1/5, etc.).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the pushing of the push button 31B detected by the push sensor 35B is an effective pushing (step S960). The effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not it is an effective touch based on the determination result in step S959. When it is determined that the pressing of the push button 31B detected by the push sensor 35B is not an effective pressing (Step S960; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the continuous specific effect control process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the pushing of the push button 31B detected by the push sensor 35B is the effective pushing (step S960; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 adds 1 to the effective pushing counter value m (step S961) It is determined whether the effective touch counter value m is 10 or not (step S962). In this embodiment, the specific effect is executed on condition that the effective hitting counter value m = 10, that is, that the effective hitting has reached 10 times in the continuous hitting of the push button 31B by the player. Ru. When it is determined that the effective pressing counter value m is not 10 (step S 962; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the continuous specific effect control process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the effective touch counter value m is 10 (step S 962; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 determines that the start condition of the specific effect is satisfied, and the counter value n of the specific effect execution counter is 1 The addition is performed (step S963), and the n-th specific effect is executed (step S964). Here, in the above embodiment, the stop symbol stopped and displayed after the variable display ends on the display screen of the sub image display device 5S is displayed in such a manner as to move to the image display device 5, and the display of the image display device 5 A special effect was executed that replaced part of the temporary stop symbol that had been temporarily stopped on the screen. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the acquired point image showing the acquired points stopped and displayed after the variable display ends on the display screen of the sub image display device 5S is displayed in such a manner as to move to the display device 5, A special effect is performed in which a total acquisition point image indicating the total acquisition points is displayed on the display screen of. Thus, the specific effect in the above-described embodiment and the specific effect in this embodiment are displayed in such a manner that the image displayed on the sub-image display device 5S moves to the image display device 5 It is executed in a common rendering manner.

  After executing the process of step S964, the effect control CPU 120 adds the acquired points in the n-th specific effect to the total acquired point P, and displays the result on the display screen of the image display device 5 (step S965). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 initializes the effective pressing counter value m (step S966), and determines whether or not the specific effect execution counter value n is 3 (step S967). If it is determined that the specific effect execution counter value n is not 3 (step S 967; No), the effect control CPU 120 ends the continuous specific effect control process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the specific effect execution counter value n is 3 in the process of step S 967 (step S 967; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 clears the button continuous hit effect executing flag and turns off (step S968). After that, the effect control CPU 120 erases each image showing the total acquisition point P and the reliability information displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5, and the total acquisition point P and the reliability on the display screen of the sub image display device 5S. Each image showing the degree notification is displayed (step S969). Note that these images may be displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 continuously by reducing the display area of each image showing the total acquisition point P and the reliability notification.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the button one-shot depression effect execution flag to the on state (step S 970), and sets the button one-shot depression effect execution period timer (step S 971). Here, the button one-shot effect execution flag is a flag indicating whether or not the button one-shot effect is performed. Further, the button one-shot effect execution period timer is a timer that counts the execution period of the button one-shot effect.

  Following the process of step S971, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not the execution period of the button one-shot effect effect has passed (step S972). When it is determined that the execution period of the button one-shot depression effect has passed (step S972; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 ends the continuous specific effect control process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the execution period of the button one-shot depression effect has not elapsed (step S972; No), the effect control CPU 120 instructs the player to one-stroke depression of the push button 31B. The pressing instruction image is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 (step S 973).

  After displaying the button one-shot pressing instruction image on the display screen of the image display device 5 in the process of step S973, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the player has pressed the push button 31B (step S974). ). If it is determined that the player does not press the push button 31B (step S974; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 ends the continuous specific effect control process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the player has pressed the push button 31B (step S974; Yes), the effect control CPU 120 performs action control of the character based on the effect mode of the button one-shot effect (step After clearing the button one-shot effect execution flag and turning it off (step S976), the continuous specific effect control process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 39 to FIG. 41, an example of the rendering operation in the case where the continuous specific rendering is performed while the super reach C is being performed will be described. Here, as an example of the effect operation, a case will be described where continuous specific effects including button continuous hit effects based on the button continuous hit effect mode pattern BP1-05 and button one blow effects according to the success mode are executed.

Further, an effect image (phrase image) such as “1 more time” indicating the number of remaining executions of the specific effect in the button continuous hit effect is displayed. In the total earned point display 5P, a total of 80 points of 50 points acquired in the first specific effect and 30 points acquired in the second specific effect are displayed. Further, on the display screen of the sub image display device 5S, variable display of the point symbol is started.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 40 (M), the variable display of the point symbol is ended in response to the player having made 10 valid strikes, and the display screen of the sub image display device 5S displays “+40 pt. The point symbol of "" is displayed stopped. Next, in FIGS. 40 (N) to 40 (O), rendering operations similar to those in FIGS. 39 (F) to 39 (G) and 40 (J) to 40 (K) are shown.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 40 (P), an effect image (phrase image) such as “120 pt acquisition !!” is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5. In addition, 120 points are displayed on the total acquisition point display 5P. Since the total acquisition point has reached the target value, the sub image display 5S displays an effect image (phrase image) notifying that the big hit has been decided, such as "big hit confirmed!". Thus, the button continuous hitting effect ends.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 41 (Q), the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, which are reduced during the button continuous hitting effect execution and displayed in the upper right portion of the display screen of the image display 5, are again It is displayed at the center of the display screen of the image display device 5.

The jackpot symbol indicating is derived and displayed as a variable display result. Thereafter, the gaming state shifts to the big hit gaming state, and the big hit game is started.

  As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, for example, when the variable display is performed by the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the pseudo ream, the image displayed on the sub image device 5S is an image It is possible to execute a specific effect displayed in such a manner as to move to the device 5. According to such a configuration, the sense of expectation for the specific effect can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, for example, at least a part of symbols forming the pseudo run chance eyes displayed temporarily stop in the pseudo run variable display effect from the sub image display device 5S It can be displayed in such a manner as to move to the image display device 5. According to such a configuration, since the image constituting the temporary stop mode moves, the rendering effect can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, for example, when displaying an image displayed on the sub image display device in such a manner as to move it to the image display device 5, the sub image display device Is operable in accordance with the direction in which the According to such a configuration, since the operation of the sub image display apparatus is performed according to the movement of the image, the rendering effect can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, for example, after the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed on the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5, the display is made on the sub image display device 5S. It is possible to display a displayed decorative pattern on the image display device 5 in a moving manner, and to execute a specific effect to replace the decorative symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display 5C. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the sense of expectation after the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, for example, after execution of the super reach C effect, the sub image display device 5S displays an image showing points acquired by the player's continuous hitting operation of the push button 31B. When performing button continuous hitting production which executes a specific effect to be displayed in such a manner as to move from the image display device 5 to the image display device a plurality of times consecutively, the total acquisition points indicating the big hit reliability are displayed as the total acquisition points of the image display device 5 Display on 5P. In addition, after the button continuous hitting effect ends, the total acquisition points displayed on the total acquisition point display 5P are displayed on the sub image display device 5S. According to such a configuration, it is possible to recognize the reliability display without interrupting the Super Reach C effect.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, for example, when the pre-reading continuous notice effect is executed, the image displayed on the sub image device 5S moves to the image device 5 It is possible to execute the specific effect to be displayed in. According to such a configuration, the sense of expectation for the specific effect can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment, for example, after the execution of the super reach C effect, an image showing acquired points obtained by the continuous hitting operation of the push button 31B by the player is displayed as a sub image A button continuous hit effect is executed in which a specific effect to be displayed in such a manner as to move from the device 5S to the image display device 5 is executed a plurality of times in succession. According to such a configuration, the sense of expectation for the specific effect can be improved.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, for example, the pushing sensor 35B detects the pushing operation of the push button 31B by the player, and indicates the obtained points obtained by the pushing operation. It is possible to execute a button continuous hit effect in which a specific effect which is displayed in such a manner as to move an image from the sub image display device 5S to the image display device 5 is continuously executed a plurality of times. According to such a configuration, the rendering effect can be improved.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Be

  In the above embodiment, for example, in the preview advance notice effect, the specific effect is performed when the prefetching chance is stopped and displayed over a plurality of variable displays until the variable display to be the advance notice target is executed. However, the specific effect may be performed also in the variable display to be the advance notice target.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the specific effect of replacing the middle symbol displayed temporarily stopped on the image display device 5 with the symbol displayed on the sub image display device 5S is executed, but the symbol to be replaced is temporary in the image display device 5 Not only the middle symbol that is stopped and displayed, but also the left symbol or the right symbol may be used. Further, the symbols to be replaced according to the specific effect are not limited to one, and two symbols or all symbols may be replaced.

  Further, for the image to be moved from the sub image display device 5S to the image display device 5 by the specific effect, for example, there may be a possibility that a pending change effect for changing the pending display may be executed during variable display of the decorative symbol. It may be a reserved change symbol that is predicted or suggested, or a development symbol that is predicted or suggested that there is a possibility of development to super reach.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when executing the specific effect in the preview advance notice effect, as shown in FIG. 20, among the plurality of variable displays until the variable display to be the advance notice target of the preview notice effect is executed. In any of the above, the specific effect was set to be performed once. However, the frequency of execution of the specific effect may be increased, and the specific effect may be performed a plurality of times in the variable display of a plurality of times until the variable display to be the advance notice target is performed. Furthermore, the specific effect may be performed in all the variable displays until the variable display that is the advance target is performed. In this case, since the pre-reading chance eye is stopped and displayed after the specific effect is executed in all the variable displays until the variable display that is the advance target of the advance notification advance effect is executed, the specific effect is the advance notification advance effect The specific effect may be regarded as synonymous with the advance notice effect.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when the specific effect is performed when the variable display by the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the pseudo run is performed, as shown in FIG. 27, it is performed before the last pseudo run fluctuation. The specific effect was set to be performed once in any of the pseudo-series changes. However, the frequency of execution of the specific effect may be increased, and the specific effect may be performed in a plurality of pseudo continuous fluctuations or all pseudo continuous fluctuations executed before the last pseudo continuous fluctuation.

  In the above embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, by assigning the determination ratio to all the variation patterns prepared in the present embodiment, the variable display to be notified is any variation pattern. Even pre-reading effect was set to be executed. However, for example, the preview advance notice effect may not be performed without assigning the determination ratio to “Loss (non-R)”, “Loss (NR)”, and “big hit (NR)”. In this way, when the pre-reading notice is executed, that is, when the pre-reading chance eye is stopped and displayed, it may be decided that the variable display of the super reach or more is executed in the future. .

  In the above embodiment, for example, in the case of executing pre-reading advance notice effects, a plurality of variable displays are performed before the variable display to be made advance notice, with reference to the pre-reading chance eye determination table shown in FIG. It was decided to decide in a batch the pre-read chance to be stopped and displayed in. However, it may be possible to determine a pre-reading chance to be stopped and displayed for each variable display to be performed until the variable display to be a notice target. At this time, it is desirable to regulate so that the preread chance eye made up of an odd symbol with low big hit reliability is not selected after the preread chance eye made up of an odd symbol. In addition, separately prepare a look-ahead chance eye determination table consisting of look-ahead chances with a high hit probability, and for variable displays for which specific effects are to be executed, refer to this table to determine a look-ahead chance eye. May be Even when variable display based on a variation pattern with pseudo-links is executed, it is not necessary to collectively determine with reference to the pseudo-link chance table shown in FIGS. 29B and 29C. Alternatively, a pseudo run chance may be determined to be temporarily stopped and displayed for each pseudo run change. In addition, separately prepare a look-ahead chance decision table consisting of pseudo-sequence chances with high big hit reliability, and for pseudo-sequence variation where specific effect is executed, refer to this table and decide the pseudo-sequence chance You may do it.

  In the above embodiment, for example, even when a specific effect of so-called gusset is executed, as shown in FIGS. 34 (I) and (J), the image (stop symbol) displayed on the sub image display 5S is displayed. While performing display control in such a manner as to move to the image display device 5, the sub image display device 5S is operated in accordance with the direction in which the image moves. However, when the so-called specific effect production is executed, the image displayed on the sub-image display device 5S is not replaced with the image displayed on the sub-image display device 5S. The display control for moving to the image display device 5 may not be performed, and the sub image display device 5S may be kept still.

  In the above embodiment, for example, the pre-read chance eye and the pseudo run chance eye have been described as being configured by numeric symbols. However, the pre-read chance eye and the pseudo run chance eye may be configured with special symbols. For example, if the middle symbol is a letter symbol indicating "S", the left symbol and the right symbol may be any symbol even if it is a chance eye.

  In the above embodiment, for example, data may be exchanged with the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the management server via a portable terminal or the like provided with a two-dimensional code reading function and a connection function to the Internet. The player is connected to the management server using a portable terminal or the like, receives the issuance of the player's own ID and the like in advance, receives a notification on its own performance during the game by its own choice, or receives past gaming history It is possible to play a game in the game mode in which is reflected.

  In the above embodiment, by executing the winning random number value determination process in the start winning determination process performed on the main substrate 11, it is determined whether the variable display result of the variable display is a "big hit", etc. . The main board 11 transmits a determination result specification command for specifying the determination result to the effect control board 12. Based on the determination result designation command received from the main substrate 11, the effect control substrate 12 determines the content of the advance notice and the like. However, the present invention is not limited to the determination as to whether or not the main substrate 11 is a "big hit". For example, the main board 11 transmits a command indicating the random number value extracted at the time of winning to the effect control board 12, and the effect control board 12 determines "big hit" based on the command indicating the random value received from the main board 11. It is also possible to determine whether or not to become, etc., and to determine the content etc. of the pre-reading advance notice based on this determination result. That is, the determination processing as to whether or not the "big hit" is necessary to determine the content of the advance notice may be performed by either the main substrate 11 or the effect control substrate 12.

  In the above embodiment, for example, a plurality of types of special symbols composed of a number indicating "0" to "9" or a symbol indicating "-", or a lighting pattern of each segment not limited to numbers or symbols, etc. An example of variable display is shown. However, the variable display result displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B or the special symbol variably displayed is a number indicating "0" to "9" or a symbol indicating "-" It is not limited to what consists of etc. For example, the lighting pattern in the variable display of the special symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off, or a pattern in which all the lights are turned off and one pattern in which at least some of the LEDs are turned on (for example, lost pattern) And the one that repeats alternately is also included in the variable display of the special symbol (in this case, the one pattern (for example, the lost symbol) appears to blink). Also, the special symbol displayed during the variable display and the special symbol displayed as the variable display result may be different. As a variable display of special symbols, for example, a display that blinks "-" is performed, and as a result of variable display, other special symbols ("7" for "big hit", "1" for "lost", etc.) Displaying the special symbol is also included in the variable display of the special symbol. In addition, blinking or scrolling display of one kind of decorative design is also included in the variable display of decorative design. The lighting pattern in the variable display of the normal symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are extinguished, or a pattern in which all the LEDs are extinguished and one pattern (for example, lost pattern) in which at least a part of the LEDs are lit. Repeating alternately is also included in the variable display of the normal symbol. In addition, the decorative pattern or the normal pattern displayed during the variable display may be different from the decorative pattern or the normal pattern displayed as the variable display result.

  In the above embodiment, the ratio (including the determination ratio and the like, and the same applies to the probability) may include 0 percent. That is, the ratio or probability may be between 0 and 10 percent. For example, to make one ratio different from the other ratio means that one ratio is, for example, 30%, the other ratio is 70%, and one ratio is, for example, 0%, the other ratio is 100%. And including. Further, the sum of the one ratio and the other ratio may not be 100% (some may not be included in either one or the other, and may have a predetermined ratio). In addition, in the case where the ratio of the other is higher than the ratio of one, including the ratio of one at 0% and the ratio of the other at 10%. For example, in the above, to make the determination ratio of the variable display pattern in the specific period after the specific gaming state different from the determination ratio of the variable display pattern in other than the specific period, the variable display pattern selected on the other side is selected It also includes cases where the variable display pattern selected on the one hand and the variable display pattern selected on the other partially overlap or do not completely overlap. These may be defined by the contents of a table that defines the ratio.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 performs the probability change control in which the big hit type becomes “probable change” when the big hit symbol indicating a predetermined number is derived and displayed as the variable display result of the special symbol. For example, it may be a pachinko gaming machine of a probability variation determination device type, in which probability variation control is performed based on the passage of the gaming ball through a specific region in the attacker provided in the gaming region.

  In the above embodiment, in order to notify the effect control board 12 of a change pattern indicating a change mode such as the change time and the type of reach effect and the presence or absence of the pseudo-link, one change pattern command is Although an example of transmission is shown, the variation pattern may be notified to the effect control board 12 by two or more commands. Specifically, when notified by two commands, the microcomputer 100 for gaming control is the first command before reaching reach, such as presence or absence of pseudo sequence, presence or absence of slip effect (if it does not reach, so-called Send a command indicating the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode before the second stop, and the second command after reaching reach such as reach type and re-lottery effect (if it does not reach, so-called It is also possible to transmit a command indicating the fluctuation time or the fluctuation mode) after (2) stop. In this case, the effect control board 12 may perform effect control in the fluctuation display based on the fluctuation time derived from the combination of two commands. The game control microcomputer 100 notifies the fluctuation time by each of the two commands, and the effect control board 12 selects a specific fluctuation mode to be executed at each timing. It is also good. When sending two commands, two commands may be sent within the same timer interrupt, and after sending a first command, after a predetermined period has elapsed (for example, the next timer interrupt) And the second command may be sent. The variation mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the order of transmission can also be changed as appropriate. In this way, by notifying the fluctuation pattern by two or more commands, it is possible to reduce the amount of data which has to be stored as the fluctuation pattern command.

  In the above embodiment, a pachinko machine has been exemplified as a game machine, but according to the present invention, a medal is inserted, a predetermined bet number is set, and a plurality of types of game machines are operated according to the operation of the control lever by the player. When the combination of stop symbols turns to a specific symbol combination when the symbol is turned and the symbol is stopped according to the operation of the stop button by the player, the predetermined number of medals are applied to the slot machine to be paid out to the player It is also possible. For example, when applied to a slot machine, the total number of occurrences of winning combinations such as small winnings and replays (replays) is counted, and the winning percentage is calculated based on the total number of occurrences of winning combinations counted. May be configured to perform.

  In addition, the image display operation in the image display device for executing the device configuration and data configuration of the gaming machine, the process shown in the flowchart, etc., the sound output operation in the speaker, and the lighting operation in the game effect lamp and the decorative LED The various rendering operations including the above can be arbitrarily changed and modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
