Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a gaming area in which gaming balls can flow and gaming control means for controlling a game .

Conventionally, a gaming machine has been known which performs a variable display game in which the identification symbol is variably displayed based on the establishment of the start condition, and the result of the variable display game is a big hit to give a player a profit. In such a game machine, as a type of big hit, in addition to the big hit (for example 15R big hit) which opens the big winning a prize opening for a predetermined time and makes it possible to obtain a large number of winning balls, There are gaming machines in which jackpots (for example, 2R jackpots, so-called suddenness, piercing, etc.) are set to change the probability of being a jackpot in a display game. In addition, there are gaming machines equipped with a small hit that makes it possible to make a winning effect similar to a big hit in which a big winning opening is opened for a short time, and to obscure the probability state of the game after winning. In such a gaming machine, the attraction and change pattern are changed in response to the win of a small hit to enhance the interest of the game (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

The game ball that has won the start winning opening 36 is detected as a start winning ball for the first special view variation display game, and is stored as a first start memory with a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) as a limit. The game ball having won the start winning opening 80 is detected as a start winning ball of the second special view variation display game, and is stored as a second start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four). In addition, when the starting winning ball is detected, the big hit random number value, the big hit symbol random number value, and each variation pattern random number value are extracted as starting memory information, respectively, and the extracted random value is in the game control device 100 (see FIG. 3). The special map storage area (a part of the RAM) is stored as a special map start storage within a predetermined number of times (for example, up to four times). Then, the number of storages of this special view start storage is displayed on the storage display unit (special view 1 suspension display 54, special view 2 suspension display 55) for notifying the start winning number of the collective display device 50, and the center The display device 41 of the case 40 is also displayed as a decorative special view start memory display.

  The game control apparatus 100 is a special figure 1 display 51 (variation display device) or a special view 2 display 52 (variation) based on winning on the starting winning opening 36 or the second starting winning opening 80 or their starting memory. The first or second special view variable display game is played on the display device). The first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game are performed by variably displaying a plurality of special symbols (special figure, identification information) and then displaying a predetermined result mode as a stop. Further, a decorative special-figure variation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character patterns, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device (image display device) 41 is executed.

  Then, when the display mode of the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52 becomes the special result mode (special result) as a result of the special view variation display game, it becomes a big hit and the special gaming state ( It becomes so-called, the big hit state). In addition, the result mode of the decoration special figure variation display game displayed on the display device 41 corresponding to this is also a special result mode. Also, when the display mode of the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52 becomes a small hit result mode as a result of the special view variation display game, the small hit is made and the small hit gaming state is attained. . In addition, the result mode of the decoration special figure variation display game displayed on the display device 41 corresponding to this is also a small hit result mode. If the special result or the small hit result is derived in the first special view change display game, the first special change winning device 38 is opened in the special game state or the small hit play state, and the second special view change display game When the special result or the small hit result is derived in, the second special variable winning device 39 is opened in the special game state or the small hit game state. That is, the special result and the small hit result make a specific result of opening the special fluctuation winning device.

  Here, the jackpot is a special result with the operation of the condition device, and the small hit is a special result without the operation of the condition device. The condition device is operated when a big hit occurs in the special view variation display game (big hit symbol stop display). When the condition device is activated, for example, a big hit occurs and it is special as a special motorized role. It means that a specific flag for operating the fluctuation winning devices 38, 39 successively is set. If the condition device does not operate, it means that the above-mentioned flag is not set as in the case of winning a small hit lottery, for example. The "condition device" may be software means such as a flag turned on / off by software as described above, or hardware means such as a switch turned on / off electrically. In addition, "condition device" is a term generally used in the field of pachinko machines as a device whose operation is required for continuous operation of a motorized accessory, and the same applies in this specification as well. It is used as a term that has a meaning.

  The decoration special figure variation display game in the display device 41 is, for example, a left variation display area (first special symbol), a right variation display area In each of the second special symbol) and the middle variation display area (third special symbol), each symbol is variably displayed (high speed variation) at a speed that makes identification difficult. Then, the symbols changing after a predetermined time are stopped sequentially in the order of the left change display area, the right change display area, and the middle change display area, and stopped in each of the left change display area, the right change display area, and the middle change display area. It is performed by displaying the result of the special figure variation display game according to the result mode configured by the displayed identification information. Further, in the display device 41, while performing the variable display game by the decoration special symbol corresponding to the special drawing start memory number, various effect display such as appearance of a character is performed to improve interest.

  The special view 1 display 51 and the special view 2 display 52 may be separate displays or the same display. Also, the display device 41 may use separate display devices or separate display areas in the first special view variable display game and the second special view variable display game, or use the same display device or display area. As well. Further, the special view variation display game may be executed only by the display device 41 without providing the special view 1 display 51 and the special view 2 display 52 in the gaming machine 10. Also, the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game can be executed simultaneously.

  In addition, when the game ball is won in the start winning hole 36 in a state where the first special view variation display game can be started and the number of start memories is 0, the start memory is stored along with the generation of the start right. When the number of starting memories is incremented by one, the first special view variation display game is started immediately based on the number of starting memories. At this time, the number of starting memories is decremented by one. On the other hand, the first special view variation display game can not be started immediately, for example, the first special view variation display game has already been played, and the special view variation display game has not ended, the special game state or the small hit game When the game ball is won in the start winning hole 36 when it is in the state, if the number of start memories is less than the upper limit number, the number of start memories is incremented by one and one start memory is stored. Then, when the number of starting memories becomes 1 or more, the first special view variation display game can be started (when the previous special view variation display game is ended or the special gaming state or the small hit gaming state is ended). The number of starting memories is decremented by one, and the first special view variation display game is started based on the stored starting memories.

  Similarly, when the game ball wins in the second start winning opening 80 in a state where the second special view variation display game can be started and the number of start memories is 0, the start memory is stored along with the generation of the start right. Is stored, and the number of starting memories is incremented by one, and the second special view variation display game is started immediately based on the number of starting memories, and at this time, the number of starting memories is decremented by one. On the other hand, the second special view variation display game can not be started immediately, for example, the second special view variation display game has already been played, and the special view variation display game has not ended, the special game state or the small hit game If the game ball is won in the second starting winning opening 80 when it is in the state, if the number of starting memories is less than the upper limit number, the number of starting memories is incremented by one and one starting memory is stored. . Then, when the number of start memories becomes 1 or more, the second special view variation display game can be started (when the previous special view variation display game is ended or the special gaming state or the small hit gaming state is ended). The number of starting memories is decremented by one, and the second special view variation display game is started based on the stored starting memories. In the following description, when the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game are not distinguished from one another, they are simply referred to as a special view variation display game.

  Although not particularly limited, the start opening 1 switch 36a in the start winning opening 36, the start opening 2 switch 80a in the second start opening 80, the gate switch 34a, the winning opening switch 35a, the count switch 38a , 39a use a non-contact type magnetic proximity sensor (hereinafter referred to as a proximity switch) that has a coil for magnetic detection and detects a game ball using a phenomenon that a magnetic field changes when metal approaches the coil. It is done. A micro switch having a mechanical contact on the glass frame opening detection switch 63 provided on the glass frame 15 of the gaming machine 10 and the front frame opening detection switch 64 provided on the front frame (game frame) 12 etc. Can be used.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a control system of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. The gaming machine 10 is provided with a gaming control apparatus 100, and the gaming control apparatus 100 is a main control apparatus (main substrate) for controlling the game in an integrated manner, and a gaming microcomputer 111 (hereinafter referred to as a gaming microcomputer). And an output unit 130 having an output port and a driver, and a data bus 140 for connecting the CPU unit 110, the input unit 120, and the output unit 130.

  The CPU unit 110 includes a gaming microcomputer (CPU) 111 called an amusement chip (IC) and an oscillator such as a crystal oscillator, and serves as a reference clock for the CPU operating clock or timer interrupt and a random number generation circuit. An oscillator circuit (crystal oscillator) 113 or the like is generated. The game control apparatus 100 and electronic components such as a solenoid and a motor driven by the game control apparatus 100 are supplied with a DC voltage of a predetermined level such as DC 32 V, DC 12 V, DC 5 V generated by the power supply apparatus 400 to be operable Be done.

  The power supply apparatus 400 is a normal power supply having an AC-DC converter that generates the DC voltage of 32 V from an AC power supply of 24 V and a DC-DC converter that generates DC voltages of 12 V and 5 V lower than DC voltage of 32 V. A power failure monitoring signal for notifying the game control device 100 of the occurrence and recovery of a power failure, having a backup power supply unit 420 for supplying a power supply voltage to the RAM in the gaming microcomputer 111 at power failure and a power failure monitoring circuit. And a control signal generation unit 430 that generates and outputs a control signal such as a reset signal.

  In this embodiment, the power supply 400 is configured separately from the game control apparatus 100, but the backup power supply 420 and the control signal generator 430 are integrated on a separate board or with the game control 100, ie, main It may be configured to be provided on a substrate. Since the game board 30 and the game control apparatus 100 are subject to replacement at the time of model change, as in the embodiment, the backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 430 are mounted on a board different from the power supply 400 or the main board. By providing it, it can be removed from the target of replacement and the cost can be reduced.

  The backup power supply unit 420 can be configured of one large-capacity capacitor such as an electrolytic capacitor. The backup power supply is supplied to the gaming microcomputer 111 (particularly the built-in RAM) of the gaming control apparatus 100, and data stored in the RAM is held even during a power failure or even after the power is shut off. The control signal generation unit 430 monitors, for example, the voltage of 32 V generated by the normal power supply unit 410, detects the occurrence of a power failure when it falls below 17 V, for example, and changes the power failure monitoring signal. Output Also, at the time of power on or recovery from a power failure, a reset signal is output after a predetermined time has elapsed from that time.

  In addition, the game control device 100 is provided with an initialization switch 112. When the initialization switch 112 is operated, an initialization switch signal is generated, and based on this, a process of forcibly initializing the information stored in the RAM 111C in the gaming microcomputer 111 and the RAM in the payout control device 200 Is done. Although not particularly limited, the initialization switch signal is read when the power is turned on, and the power failure monitoring signal is repeatedly read in the main loop of the main program executed by the gaming microcomputer 111. The reset signal is a type of forced interrupt signal and causes the entire control system to be reset.

  The gaming microcomputer 111 includes a CPU (central processing unit: microprocessor) 111A, a read only ROM (read only memory) 111B, and a random access memory (RAM) 111C which can be read and written as needed.

  The ROM 111B stores invariable information (program, fixed data, determination values of various random numbers, etc.) for game control in a non-volatile manner, and the RAM 111C stores a working area of the CPU 111A and storage areas of various signals and random values during game control. It is used as An electrically rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM may be used as the ROM 111B or the RAM 111C.

  Further, the ROM 111B stores, for example, a variation pattern table for determining a variation pattern (variation mode) that defines the execution time of the special view variation display game, the contents of the effect, the presence or absence of the reach state, and the like. The variation pattern table is a table for the CPU 111A to determine a variation pattern by referring to the variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 stored as start storage. Further, the fluctuation pattern table includes a falling fluctuation pattern table selected when the result is a falling, a big hit fluctuation pattern table selected when the result is a big hit, and the like. Further, in these pattern tables, tables for determining a second half fluctuation pattern which is a fluctuation pattern after reaching the reach state (second half fluctuation group table, second half fluctuation pattern selection table, etc.), fluctuation before reaching the reach state A table (a first half fluctuation group table, a first half fluctuation pattern selection table, etc.) for determining a first half fluctuation pattern which is a pattern is included. That is, the game control apparatus 100 forms a variation pattern table storage unit storing a plurality of variation pattern tables for determining the variation time in the variation display game.

  Here, the reach (reach state) has a display device capable of changing the display state, the display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are determined in advance. In the gaming machine 10 in which the gaming state is a gaming state (special gaming state) advantageous to the player when the special result mode is obtained, derivation is already made at a stage where a part of the plurality of display results is not yet derived and displayed. This refers to a display state in which the displayed display results satisfy the conditions for the special result mode. In addition, the reach state is deviated from the display condition which is the special result mode even when reaching the stage before the variable display control of the display device progresses and the display result is derived and displayed. There is no display mode. Then, for example, the reach state includes a state (so-called all-rotation reach) in which variable display is performed by a plurality of variable display areas while maintaining the state in which the special result mode is uniform. Further, the reach state is a display state at the time when display control of the display device progresses to a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. This refers to the display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas satisfies the condition to be the special result mode.

  Therefore, for example, the decorative special view fluctuation display game displayed on the display device corresponding to the special view fluctuation display game fluctuates a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle and right fluctuation display areas in the display device. When displaying the result mode by stopping the variable display in the order of left, right, and middle and displaying the result mode, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state where the variable display is stopped by the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition to this, when the fluctuation display of all the fluctuation display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas is satisfied (for example, the same The state where the identification information is obtained, but excluding the special result aspect) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state.

  And, this reach state includes a plurality of reach effects, and the possibility of deriving a special result aspect is different (expected values are different). Special 2 reach (SP2 reach) and Special 3 reach (SP3 reach) are set. Expected values are set to increase in the order of no reach <normal reach <special 1 reach <special 2 reach <special 3 reach. Further, this reach state is included in the variable display mode at least when the special result mode or the small hit result mode is derived in the special view variable display game (when it is a big hit or a small hit). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where it is determined that the special result mode is not derived in the special view variable display game (when it is out of alignment). Therefore, the state in which the reach state occurs is a state in which the possibility of being a big hit or a small hit is higher than when the reach state does not occur.

  The CPU 111A executes a game control program in the ROM 111B to generate control signals (commands) for the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300, and generate and output drive signals for solenoids and display devices. 10 Take control of the whole. Also, although not shown, the gaming microcomputer 111 is a big hit random number for determining the big hit of the special figure variation display game, a big hit symbol random number for determining the big hit symbol, a variation pattern in the special figure variation display game (various A variation pattern random number for determining the variation display game execution time etc. in reach display or non-reach variation display, and a random number generation circuit for generating a collision random number etc for determining hit of the common drawing variation display game And a clock generator for generating a timer interrupt signal of a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 milliseconds) to the CPU 111A based on the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113 and a clock giving update timing of the random number generation circuit. There is.

  Further, the CPU 111A acquires any one variation pattern table from among the plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the ROM 111B in the processing relating to the special figure variation display game. Specifically, the CPU 111A is a game result (big hit, small hit or break) of the special figure fluctuation display game, a probability state (normal probability state or high probability state) of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current gaming state, A plurality of fluctuation pattern tables based on the operating state (first operating state or second operating state) of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 as the current gaming state, the number of starting memories, the game mode (normal mode or special mode), etc. One of the variation pattern tables is selected and acquired. That is, the game control apparatus 100 functions as a variation pattern table acquisition unit that acquires one variation pattern table among the plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the variation pattern table storage unit and determines a variation pattern. It can be said that the CPU 111A is a variation distribution information acquisition unit that acquires one variation pattern table among the plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the ROM 111B when executing the special figure variation display game.

In the proximity I / Fs 121a and 121b, when the input range is 7V-11V, the lead wire of the sensor or proximity switch is incorrectly shorted, the sensor or switch is disconnected from the connector, or the lead wire is cut. It is possible to detect an abnormal state as if it were floating and to output an abnormality detection signal.

  The proximity I / F 121a and the proximity I / F 121b are provided because the number of input terminals of the proximity I / F 121a is limited. The cost is reduced by using the proximity I / F 121 b smaller than the proximity I / F 121 a according to the number of input terminals which are insufficient. Note that the proximity I / F 121b may not be provided using one having the necessary number of input terminals as the proximity I / F 121a.

The third input port 124 also includes detection signals from the magnetic sensor switch 61 for detecting frauds provided on the front frame 12 of the gaming machine 10, a frame radio wave fraud signal output from the payout control device 200, and a payout busy. A signal is also input. The frame radio wave unauthorized signal is a signal output based on the detection of radio waves by the frame radio sensor provided on the front frame 12, and the payout busy signal indicates whether the payout control device 200 can receive a command or not. It is a signal. Note that a vibration sensor switch for detecting vibration may be provided in the gaming machine, and a detection signal may be input to the third input port 124.

  Further, among the outputs of the proximity I / Fs 121 a and 121 b, the output to the second input port 123 is also supplied from the main substrate 100 to the non-illustrated test shot test apparatus via the relay substrate 70. Further, among the outputs of the proximity I / Fs 121a and 121b, detection signals of the start opening 1 switch 36a and the start opening 2 switch 80a are configured to be input to the gaming microcomputer 111 in addition to the second input port 123. .

  As described above, the proximity I / Fs 121a and 121b have a signal level conversion function. In order to enable such a level conversion function, the proximity I / Fs 121a and 121b are supplied with a voltage of 12 V in addition to a voltage such as 5 V necessary for the operation of a normal IC from the power supply device 400. It is supposed to be.

  The data held by the second input port 123 is read out by asserting the enable signal CE2 (changing to a valid level) by the gaming microcomputer 111 decoding the address assigned to the second input port 123 be able to.

As a result, the cooperation between the video control microcomputer 312 and the VDP 313 can be improved.

  Next, game control performed in these control circuits will be described. The CPU 111A of the gaming microcomputer 111 of the gaming control apparatus 100 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the common drawing based on the input of the detection signal of the gaming ball from the gate switch 34a provided in the common drawing start gate 34 The game is compared with the judgment value stored in the table to determine the hit / off of the common drawing fluctuation display game. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined period of time on the regular display, processing is performed to display the regular variation display game in which the stop display is performed. When the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game is a hit, the common drawing indicator displays a special result mode and operates the common electric solenoid 37c to set the movable member 37b of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 for a predetermined time (for example, Control to release as described above) is performed. That is, the game control apparatus 100 constitutes conversion control execution means for performing conversion control of the conversion member (movable member 37b). When the result of the common drawing variation display game is out of control, control is performed to display a result mode of the deviation on the common drawing display.

  In addition, starting winning combination (starting memory) is remembered on the basis of the input of detection signal of the game ball from starting opening 1 switch 36a which is equipped in starting winning a prize opening 36, on the basis of this starting memory, the 1st special figure fluctuation indicatory game The jackpot determination random number value is extracted and compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B to determine the hit / off of the first special view fluctuation display game. In addition, starting memory is remembered on the basis of the input of detection signal of the game ball from starting opening 2 switch 80a which is equipped in 2nd starting winning a prize opening 80, big hit decision of 2nd special figure fluctuation indicatory game on the basis of this starting memory The random number value for extraction is extracted and compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B to determine the hit / off of the second special figure variation display game.

  Then, the CPU 111A of the game control device 100 outputs, to the effect control device 300, a control signal (rendering control command) including the determination result of the first special view variation display game or the second special view variation display game. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the special view 1 display 51 or the special view 2 display 52, processing is performed to display a special view fluctuation display game in which the stop display is performed. That is, the game control for performing the progression control of the variable display game based on the winning of the start winning area (the first start winning opening 36, the second start winning opening 80) of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area 32 Make a means.

  Further, in the effect control device 300, based on the control signal from the game control device 100, the display device 41 performs a process of displaying a decorative special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure variation display game. Furthermore, the effect control device 300 performs processing of setting of effect state, output of sound from the speakers 19a and 19b, control of light emission of various LEDs, and the like based on a control signal from the game control device 100. That is, the effect control device 300 serves as effect control means for controlling an effect on a game (a variable display game or the like).

  And, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit (special result), the CPU 111A of the game control device 100 displays the special result aspect on the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52, and Perform processing to generate a gaming state. In the processing for generating the special gaming state, for example, the CPU 111A opens the opening / closing door 38c of the first special variation winning device 38 by the big winning opening solenoid 38b or opens / closes the second special variation winning device 39 by the big winning opening solenoid 39b. Control is performed to open the door 39c and allow the game ball to flow into the big winning opening. Then, a predetermined number (for example, eight) of game balls win in the special winning opening or a predetermined openable time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses from the opening of the special winning opening. One round is to open the special winning opening until it is done, and the control (cycle game) to repeat (repeat) the predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times, 10 times, 4 times or 2 times) is performed. That is, when the stop result mode is the special result mode, the game control apparatus 100 forms a special winning opening / closing control means that performs control to open and close the special winning opening. In addition, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a release, control is performed to display a result mode of the deviation on the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52.

  In addition, when the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a small hit (small hit result), the CPU 111A of the game control device 100 displays the small hit result aspect on the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52. At the same time, the small hit game state is processed. In the process of generating the small hit gaming state, for example, the CPU 111A opens the open / close door 38c of the first special variation winning device 38 by the big winning opening solenoid 38b or the second special variation winning device 39 of Control is performed to open the open / close door 39c and allow the game ball to flow into the big winning opening. Then, a predetermined number (for example, eight) of game balls win in the special winning opening, or a predetermined openable time (for example, 1.8 seconds) elapses from the opening of the special winning opening. Open the big winning opening until the is achieved. That is, the game control apparatus 100 forms a special winning opening / closing control means that performs control to open / close the special winning opening when the stop result mode is the small hitting result mode.

  Further, the game control apparatus 100 sets the state of the probability of becoming a big hit in the special figure variation display game to either the normal probability state or the high probability state higher than the normal probability state. The first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game have the same probability. That is, for example, the high probability state is set after the end of the special game state based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game, and which of the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game Even in the high probability state based on the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game, both the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game become the high probability state.

  Further, the game control apparatus 100 sets the operation mode of the normal variation display game and the normal variation winning device 37 to either the first operation state (normal operation state) or the second operation state (wining easy state). It has become. In the second operation state, the opening time of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 per unit time is controlled so as to be substantially longer than when the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is in the first operation state. . That is, the operation mode of state conversion of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is the first operation state, and the second operation state in which the time for which the game control device 100 is open per unit time is longer It becomes an operation state control means controlled in any one of the operation states.

  For example, in the second operation state, it is possible to control the execution time (common drawing fluctuation time) of the common drawing fluctuation display game described above to be a second fluctuation display time shorter than the first fluctuation display time. (For example, 30000 ms is 2000 ms). Further, in the second operation state, the common drawing stop time for displaying the result of the common drawing fluctuation display game is controlled to be a second stop time (for example, 704 ms) shorter than the first stop time (for example, 1604 ms). Is possible. Also, in the second operation state, when the common drawing fluctuation display game hits and the ordinary fluctuation winning device 37 is opened, the open time (the general electric power open time) is the first open time of the first operation state. It is possible to control to become the 2nd open time (for example, 3000 ms) longer than (for example, 500 ms). Further, in the second operation state, the number of times of opening of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 (the number of times of general electric power release) is greater than the number of times of first opening (for example, once). It is possible to set a large number of times (for example, two times) of the second opening number. Also, in the second operation state, the probability (common drawing probability) to be a hit result of the common drawing variation display game is higher than the normal probability (low probability, 1/256) in the first operation state 255/256).

  In the second operation state, the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 is opened by changing any one or more of the common drawing fluctuation time, the common drawing stop time, the number of times of general electric power release, the general electric power release time, and the common drawing probability. It takes longer than usual to change the state to. Further, it is also possible to set a plurality of types of second operation states which are different from each other. In addition, the movable member 37b may be set so as not to open in the first operation state (a common drawing probability is 0). In the case of a hit, either the first open mode or the second open mode may be selected. In this case, the selection probabilities of the first opening mode and the second opening mode may be made different.

  In addition, when the game control device 100 selects a variation pattern that is an execution mode of the special figure variation display game, the normal mode in which the variation pattern is selected using the normal variation pattern table and the variation using the special variation pattern table Set one of the special modes to select a pattern. In the fluctuation pattern table, at least a plurality of fluctuation patterns different in fluctuation time are defined and also selection probability of each fluctuation pattern is defined, and the fluctuation pattern is selected by referring to the fluctuation pattern random number in the fluctuation pattern table. It is supposed to be.

  The special variation pattern table used in the special mode has a high selection ratio of variation patterns with shorter variation time than the normal variation pattern table used in the normal mode. That is, the expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the special mode is smaller (the time is shorter) than the expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the normal mode, and the special mode fluctuation display game in unit time than the normal mode in the special mode The number of executions of is increased. Note that the high probability state, the second operation state, and the special mode can be independently generated, all can be generated simultaneously, or only one or two can be generated. .

  FIG. 5 shows the setting of the probability and the like in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the probability that a special result (big hit) is achieved is common to the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, and is 1/300 in the normal probability state, It is 1/250 in the high probability state. Further, the probability of being a small hit is 1/300 in the first special view variation display game and 1/5 in the second special view variation display game. The probability of this small hit is constant regardless of the state of the special outcome (normal probability state, high probability state). As such, since the probability of the small hit is different, the playability can be changed depending on the type of the starting opening, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  After the end of the special gaming state, it is possible to set the ST state as the gaming state. In the ST state, a high probability state is set as a state of probability of becoming a big hit in the special figure fluctuation display game, and a second operation state is set as an operation mode of the normal fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37. When selecting a variation pattern that is an execution aspect of the variation display game, a special mode is set in which a variation pattern is selected using a special variation pattern table.

  When the special result is derived in the first special view variation display game, the ST state is set with a probability of 15% (ST rush rate) after the end of the special game state. Whether to set the ST state is selected according to the type of the special result derived. Note that whether to set the ST state may be determined by a separate lottery. Further, when the special result is derived in the second special view variable display game, the ST state is set with 100% probability (ST rush rate) after the end of the special game state.

  This ST state is set from the end of the special game state until the special figure variation display game is executed 300 times. In this ST state, when the special result for setting the ST state is derived again, the number of the special figure fluctuation display game for setting the ST state is reset, and 300 times from the end of the special gaming state based on the special result. It is in the ST state until the special figure variation display game is executed. In addition, when the special figure fluctuation display game is executed 300 times without deriving a special result in the ST state, the ST state ends and the gaming state becomes the normal gaming state. In this normal gaming state, a normal probability state is set as a state of probability of becoming a big hit in the special view fluctuation display game, and a first operation state is set as an operation mode of the normal fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37, When selecting a variation pattern which is an execution aspect of the special view variation display game, a normal mode in which a variation pattern is selected using a normal variation pattern table is set.

  In addition, when a special result in which the ST state is not set is derived in the first special view variable display game (when ST is not entered), the special state is executed from the end of the special game state until the 20 special view change display games are executed. Is set. In the special state, the normal probability state is set as the state of probability of becoming a big hit in the special view fluctuation display game, the second operation state is set as the operation mode of the normal fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37, and the special view When selecting a variation pattern that is an execution aspect of the variation display game, a special mode is set in which a variation pattern is selected using a special variation pattern table.

  FIG. 5B shows the selection probability of the number of rounds executed in the special gaming state based on the special result when the special result is derived. The number of rounds is determined based on the jackpot symbol random number value. That is, it is determined by the type of the special result derived. Alternatively, it may be determined by a separate lottery. In the first special view variable display game, the probability that 2Rs with two rounds is selected is 30%, the probability that 4Rs with four rounds are selected is 20%, and the number of rounds is 10 The probability that 10R of is selected is 45%, and the probability of selecting 16R with 16 rounds is 5%. In the second special view variable display game, the probability that 2R, 4R and 10R are selected is 10% each, and the probability that 16Rs with 16 rounds is selected is 70%, and the first special The distribution is more advantageous to the player than the figure variation display game.

  FIG. 5C shows the operation mode of the special variation winning devices 38, 39 in each round in the special game state. In the special game state based on the derivation of the special result in the first special view variation display game, the first special variation winning device 38 is opened and the special result is derived in the second special view variation display game In the special game state based on the second special variation winning device 39 is opened. In each round, the first special variation winning device 38 or the second special variation winning device 39 is continuously opened, and either 30 seconds have passed from the start of the opening or eight game balls win. When one of the conditions is satisfied, the round ends and the special fluctuation winning device is closed. After that, the next round is started with a predetermined interval period (closing period) interposed. And if a round is performed only the number of rounds selected by derivation of a special result, a special game state will be ended.

  FIG. 5D shows the operation mode of the special variation winning devices 38, 39 in the small hit gaming state. In the small hit gaming state based on the small hit result derived in the first special view variable display game, the first special change winning device 38 is opened, and the small hit result is derived in the second special view variable display game. In the small hit gaming state based on the event, the second special variation winning device 39 is opened. In the small hit gaming state, the first special variation winning device 38 or the second special variation winning device 39 is continuously opened, and it takes 1.8 seconds from the start of opening or eight gaming balls win When any of the following conditions is satisfied, the small hit gaming state ends and the special fluctuation winning device is closed. In the small hit game state, it is assumed that opening for 1.8 seconds is performed, but opening for longer than this may be performed, for example, opening for 10 seconds is performed three times across an interval of 1 second You may do so.

  FIG. 5E shows the operation mode of the normal variation display game and the normal variation winning device 37. In the first operation state, the probability of hitting a normal fluctuation display game is 1/256, and the fluctuation time of the normal fluctuation display game is 30 seconds. Further, the opening pattern of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 when the normal fluctuation display game is hit is a pattern in which the opening of 0.5 seconds is performed once. In addition, even if it is within the opening time, when 10 game balls win, the opening is ended. In the first operation state, if the normal fluctuation display game is not hit, and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 can not be won in the closed state, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is aimed in the normal mode. It is possible to prevent the game ball from being fired.

  In the second operation state, the probability of hitting a normal change display game is 255/256, and the change time of the normal change display game is 2 seconds. Further, the opening pattern of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 when the normal fluctuation display game is hit is a pattern in which opening of 3 seconds is performed twice with an interval (closing) of 1 second. In addition, even if it is within the opening time, when 10 game balls win, the opening is ended. In the second operation state, the open time based on one hit is 6 seconds, but the open time may be longer than this. For example, an open of 10 seconds is an interval of 1 second. It may be performed three times across the.

  FIG. 6 shows the contents of the fluctuation pattern table used when selecting the fluctuation pattern of the first special view fluctuation display game. In the fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation patterns, fluctuation pattern random numbers corresponding to each fluctuation pattern, and fluctuation time of each fluctuation pattern are defined. When selecting a fluctuation pattern, one fluctuation pattern is selected from a plurality of fluctuation patterns by referring to the fluctuation pattern random number value in the fluctuation pattern table. The variation patterns include a no reach pattern in which no reach state occurs, a normal reach pattern in which a reach state occurs, and an SP reach pattern. The SP reach pattern is directed to develop into SP reach production after producing normal reach.

  FIG. 6A shows the contents of the fluctuation pattern table A used when the result is out. For the first special view fluctuation display game, the state (probability state or high probability state) of probability of becoming a big hit in the special view fluctuation display game, the operation mode of the normal fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 (first The variation pattern table A of FIG. 6A is used regardless of the operating state or the second operating state). In addition, the normal mode and the special mode classified according to the type of the variation pattern table used when selecting the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game is applicable only to the second special figure variation display game, the first special figure The fluctuation pattern table A of FIG. 6A is used regardless of the normal mode and the special mode for the variable display game. As a result, the playability can be changed according to the type of the starting opening, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  FIG. 6B shows the contents of the fluctuation pattern table B used when the result is a big hit. In the fluctuation pattern table B, only the SP reach patterns 1 to 3 can be selected. Further, the fluctuation pattern table B is used in common in the first special view fluctuation display game and the second special view fluctuation display game.

  FIG. 7 shows the contents of the fluctuation pattern table used when the result is a loss in the second special view fluctuation display game. There are two types of fluctuation pattern tables in this case, fluctuation pattern tables C and D. In both variation pattern tables, the types of selectable variation patterns are the same, but the selection ratio of each variation pattern is different. The variation pattern table C shown in FIG. 7A has the largest selection ratio of variation patterns with no reach 5 of 60 seconds in the no reach pattern, and the variation pattern table D shown in FIG. Among the no reach patterns, the selection ratio of the no reach 1 change pattern with the change time of 2 seconds is the highest. Further, in the fluctuation pattern table D shown in FIG. 7B, the fluctuation time of the normal reach is 10 seconds.

  As a result, the expected value (2.4 seconds) of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern table D is higher than the expected value (55.9 seconds) of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern table C (The time is short), and the execution frequency of the variable display game per unit time is increased. That is, the variation pattern table C forms a normal variation pattern table used in the normal mode, and the variation pattern table D forms a special variation pattern table used in the special mode.

  Although the variation pattern table used when the result is a small hit is not shown, only the normal reach pattern is selected, and the small hit result is derived through the reach state. Note that the fluctuation time is the same time as the normal reach in the fluctuation pattern table used when the result is out, and in the normal mode of the first special view fluctuation display game and the second special view fluctuation display game, 30 seconds, the second special It is 10 seconds in the special mode of the figure variation display game.

  Here, details of the normal mode and the special mode in the second special view variable display game will be described. The expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the normal fluctuation pattern table is that of the fluctuation time when the game device is continuously fired by the launcher and the second special view fluctuation display game is continuously A value such that the expected value of the number of game balls obtainable by the small hit calculated for one second special view variable display game is smaller than the number of game balls fired in the expected value period It is done.

  On the other hand, the expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the special fluctuation pattern table is the case where the game ball is continuously fired by the launcher and the second special figure fluctuation display game is continuously executed. The expected value of the number of game balls that can be acquired by a small hit calculated for one second special view change display game is greater than the number of game balls fired in the expected value period of the change time It is supposed to have a similar value. Therefore, in the normal mode, the player's ball tends to decrease, and in the special mode, the player's ball tends to increase.

  As shown in FIG. 8, from the normal mode using the variation pattern table C, transition to the special mode using the variation pattern table D is triggered by performance change timing 1 (promotion), and from the special mode using the variation pattern table D Transition to the normal mode using the variation pattern table C, triggered by performance change timing 2 (fall). In the present embodiment, the performance change timing 1 (promotion) is that a special result for setting the ST state is derived as described in FIG. 5A, and the performance change timing 2 (falling) is the ST state If the special result is not derived and the special game is displayed 300 times, or the special state is not derived, the special result is displayed 20 times.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the expected value of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected by the normal fluctuation pattern table is 55.9 seconds, and the expected value of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected by the special fluctuation pattern table is 2 .4 seconds. The variation time when the small hit result is derived is 30 seconds in the normal mode and 10 seconds in the special mode. Also, the launcher launches 100 gaming balls in 60 seconds.

  And, the execution time of the small hit gaming state is 2 seconds, during which the opening of the second special fluctuation winning device 39 of 1.8 seconds is performed. The 15 special balls are paid out for the winning of one game ball to the second special variation winning device 39, and in the small hitting game state, the average of three gaming balls is the second special variation A winning device 39 is to be awarded. Since 3.3 gaming balls are fired during the small hit gaming state period, there is an increase of 41.7 balls on average in the small hit gaming state. In the second special view variation display game, the probability of winning a small hit is always 1⁄5, and the expected increase in ball holding by a small hit is 8.3 for one second special view variation display game.

  In addition, the arrangement of the game nails and the normal fluctuation winning device 37 so that the winning rate for the second start winning opening 80 becomes a winning rate that allows one or more winnings within the expected value of the fluctuation time described above. The operation mode is set. That is, the second special view variable display game can be executed without interruption regardless of whether it is the normal mode or the special mode. Under the above conditions, the probability that a special result is derived is low, and is not considered, and the player continues to fire the game ball continuously.

  In the normal mode, the expected value of the fluctuation time of the second special-character fluctuation display game of one is 50.7 seconds from the probability that the result will be out or small hit and the respective fluctuation time. At this time, the launcher will launch 84.5 game balls, but the expected increase in ball holding by small hits is 8.3, so the player's ball tends to decrease greatly. It is in.

  It should be noted that since the probability of winning a small hit is low for the first special view variable display game, it is hardly expected to obtain a prize ball by the small hit, but the expected value of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern table At 20.2 seconds, at this time, the launch device will launch 33.7 game balls. As in the second special view variation display game, the player's ball tends to decrease as well, but in the normal mode, he aimed at the start winning opening 36 rather than aiming at the second starting winning opening 80 because of the time efficiency. Is more advantageous for the player.

  In the special mode, the expected value of the fluctuation time of the second special-character fluctuation display game of one is 3.9 seconds from the probability that the result will be out or small hit and the respective fluctuation time. At this time, the launcher will launch 6.6 game balls, but the expected increase in ball holding by small hits is 8.3, so only increase in ball holding by small hits is considered. However, the net increase per game is 1.7, and the player's ball tends to increase. Therefore, aiming at the second start winning opening 80 in the special mode is more advantageous for the player than aiming at the start winning opening 36.

  Further, in the special mode, in addition to this, there is also a winning ball based on the winning on the second start winning opening 80 and a winning ball in the special gaming state based on the derivation of the special result, so the player's ball tends to increase It is certain to be in In particular, in the present embodiment, since the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is the first operation state in the normal mode and the second operation state in the special mode, winning in the second start winning opening 80 in the special mode The percentage of balls that contribute to the increase in ball holding is also high.

  In addition, the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning a prize device 37 is the first operation state in the normal mode, and is the second operation state in the special mode, so that the fluctuation period is shortened during the period in which the special fluctuation pattern table is shortened. It becomes possible to execute the display game without interruption, and it is possible to make full use of the function of increasing the number of holding balls regardless of the big hit. In addition, if the game ball can not be won when the game player is in the closed state, it is possible to reliably prevent the player from aiming to increase the ball aiming at the second start winning opening 80 in the normal mode.

  In addition, the distribution of the number of rounds in the second special figure fluctuation display game shown in FIG. If so, it becomes difficult to obtain the game ball based on the derivation of the special result in the second special view variable display game. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being shot at the second start winning opening 80 in the normal mode.

  In the normal mode, even if the player can appropriately stop and reduce the number of fired balls, the game ball resumes the firing of the gaming ball from the confirmation of the derivation of the small hit result aspect, the second special variation winning device In order to take time to reach 39, it is not possible to obtain a sufficient number of balls, and the player's ball tends to decrease. As a countermeasure against such a stop, shortening the time from the derivation of the small hit result aspect to the opening of the special fluctuation winning device 39 (fanfare time) or the opening time of the special fluctuation winning device 39 in the small hitting gaming state Shortening, providing the second special variation winning device 39 in the lower part of the second area 32b, lengthening the path from the firing position to the second special variation winning device 39, and the firing position by the arrangement of the game nails and prizes To increase the arrival time from the second special variation winning device 39, and the like.

  By these measures, the release of the second special fluctuation winning device 39 is resumed within the time from the confirmation of the derivation of the small hit result aspect to the resumption of the game ball firing until the gaming ball reaches the second special fluctuation winning device 39 Preferably, half or more of the time has elapsed or the opening time has ended. In addition, the fluctuation pattern when the small hit result is derived is set to a short fluctuation time (for example, 2 seconds), and the reach state is not generated, or the possibility of the derivation of the small hit result aspect can not be predicted in the effect. This is more effective because the player can not predict the derivation of the small hit result mode and can delay the timing at which the game ball is reopened.

  Next, the gaming state and the progress of the gaming in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Since the game mode is the normal mode in the normal gaming state, it is more advantageous for the player to shoot the game ball (left-handed) to cause the game ball to flow down the first area 32a and win the game ball in the start winning opening 36 It is in the state.

  Then, the first special view variation display game is performed based on the winning on the start winning opening 36, and when the special result is derived in the first special view variation display game, the first special variation winning device 38 is opened. It will be in the game state. In this special game state, since the first special variation winning device 38 is opened, the player is left hitting and the special game state is consumed. If the type of the special result is to set the ST state, the special game state is shifted to the ST state after the end of the special game state. If the type of the special result is not to set the ST state, the special game state is entered after the end of the special game state.

  FIG. 10 shows a display example when the special result for setting the ST state is derived. As shown in FIG. 10A, a display indicating that the special result is derived is performed, and the special game state is started. Then, in the final round in the special game state, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), it is informed that the ST state (small hit Rush) will be made after the end of the special game state. Thereafter, with the start of the ST state, as shown in FIG. 10C, a display is made to notify the start of the ST state. In the upper right part of this display, the number of special figure fluctuation display games that can be executed in the ST state is displayed, and this display is continuously displayed during the ST state, and the special figure fluctuation display game is executed. It is updated every time you do.

  Returning to FIG. 9, since the special mode is in the ST state and the special state, the player causes the game ball to flow down the second area 32b and win the game ball in the second start winning opening 80. It is better to launch (right-handed). As described above, in the period in which the special mode is set, the player can increase the ball holding by frequent occurrence of the small hit, and in proportion to the number of times the special view fluctuation display game is executed. Holding balls are increasing.

  Then, when the second special view variation display game is performed based on the winning on the second start winning opening 80 and the special result is derived in the second special view variation display game, the second special variation winning device 39 is opened. Special gaming state. In this special game state, since the second special variation winning device 39 is opened, the player with the right hit, the special game state is digested. When the special result is derived in the second special view variable display game, the ST state is always set after the end of the special game state.

  When the special figure variation display game is executed 300 times without deriving a special result in the ST state, the ST state ends and the gaming state becomes the normal gaming state. In addition, when the special figure fluctuation display game is executed 20 times without deriving the special result in the special state, the special state ends and the gaming state becomes the normal gaming state.

  Also, in the normal gaming state, the ST state and the special state, when the small hitting result is derived, the small hitting gaming state is established. If a small hit result is obtained in the first special view variable display game, the first special change winning device 38 is opened, so that even in the small hit gaming state, the player digests the small hit gaming state with left strike. In addition, when it becomes the small hitting result in the 2nd special figure fluctuation indicatory game, because 2nd special fluctuation winning a prize device 39 is opened, even with small hitting game state the player digests the small hitting game state with right strike . After the end of the small hit gaming state, it will return to the gaming state before the start of the small hit gaming state.

  That is, in the normal mode, left hitting, in the special mode, right hitting can execute the special view variation display game, continue the special gaming state, play in the small hit gaming state, and the generation of the special result There is no need for the player to change the launch force due to the occurrence of small hit results. Therefore, for example, even in the small hit gaming state where the opening time is short, it is possible to reliably win the gaming ball.

  FIG. 11 shows a display example when the small hit result is derived. The small hit result aspect in the decoration special figure fluctuation display game, as shown in Figure 11 (a), the identification information which is different from the identification information (here “7”) which forms reach condition (here in order one one in order) It is good also as what carried out the last stop of "6" which is identification information on the front side. Also, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), from the state where the reach state is formed (here, "7" forms the reach aspect), a symbol for small hit as the final stop pattern (here "small" A small hit result mode may be used in a state in which the) is stopped.

  As described above, since the normal mode and the special mode are switched in response to the establishment of the predetermined condition, and the fluctuation time of the special view fluctuation display game is changed, it is possible to make the gaming machine hard to get bored and having high interest. In addition, the execution time of the special figure fluctuation display game can be increased by shortening the fluctuation time, and the player can advantageously proceed with the game. In addition, since the predetermined condition for switching between the normal mode and the special mode is the derivation of a specific special result, it becomes interesting for the predetermined condition to be met for the derivation of the specific result (special result) Interest can be improved. In addition, it is possible to have a new game characteristic that the first area 32a and the second area 32b are separately used depending on the type of the variation pattern table to be used, and the interest can be enhanced.

  From the above, in the gaming machine capable of executing the variable display game in which the identification information is changed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, second starting winning opening 80), the variation time in the variation display game The variation pattern table storage means (the game control apparatus 100) storing a plurality of variation pattern tables for determining a game, and one variation pattern table among the plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the variation pattern table storage means The variation pattern table acquiring means (game control apparatus 100) for determining the pattern, and the plurality of variation pattern tables are shorter than the normal variation pattern table used normally and the variation patterns selected in the normal variation pattern table Special variation pattern table with high selection ratio of variation pattern of variation time, At least with the variation pattern table acquisition unit, a fact that acquire the variation pattern is switched to the special movement pattern table from a normal variation pattern table in response to establishment of a predetermined condition.

  Further, the predetermined condition for switching from the normal variation pattern table to the special variation pattern table can be satisfied at least that the predetermined result is derived as the execution result of the variation display game. The predetermined result referred to here may be any result, such as a result of a big hit with the operation of the condition device, a result of a small hit without the operation of the condition device, a result of out-of-order, etc. The result of In the present embodiment, a specific result that is a big hit or a small hit is described as an example, but it is also possible to switch the variation pattern table triggered by a predetermined out result.

  Further, the predetermined result is a specific result capable of generating either a big hit with the operation of the condition device or a small hit without the operation of the condition device, and the start opening (the start winning opening 36, the second start winning opening) 80) and a special ball game machine (first special ball game machine 38, second special ball game machine 39) is provided with a launch device for firing the game ball in the game area 32 and a predetermined number of game balls per certain time And an expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the fluctuation pattern table, the game machine is continuously fired by the launcher, and the fluctuation display game is continuous. Of the expected value of the number of game balls that can be acquired by a small hit calculated for one of the variable display games, rather than the number of game balls fired in the period of the expected value of the fluctuation time There will be fewer The expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the special fluctuation pattern table is the expectation of the fluctuation time when the game ball is continuously fired by the launcher and the fluctuation display game is continuously executed. The expected value of the number of game balls obtainable by the small hit calculated for one variable display game is larger than the number of game balls fired in the value period.

  In addition, the starting opening includes a first starting winning opening (starting winning opening 36) capable of executing the first variation display game, and a second starting winning opening 80 capable of executing the second variation display game. The probability that the second variable display game will be a specific result is set higher than the second variable display game than the variable display game, and the fluctuation pattern table acquisition means (game control device 100) is about the fluctuation pattern table used for the second fluctuation display game. Either the normal fluctuation pattern table or the special fluctuation pattern table is acquired.

  In addition, the second variable display game has a higher probability of being a small hit than the first variable display game.

  Further, the gaming area 32 is provided with a partitioning member (center case 40) for partitioning the gaming area 32 into the first area 32a and the second area 32b, and the first starting winning opening (starting winning opening 36) is The game ball which has flowed down the area of the game area is provided so as to be able to win, and the game ball which has flowed down the second area is provided with the game ball which has flowed down the second area. In this case, the expected value of the fluctuation time selected in the normal fluctuation pattern table is set so that the player who shoots the game ball into the first area 32a is more advantageous to the player than the player who shoots the game ball into the second area 32b. During the period in which the special variation pattern table is set and used, the special variation pattern such that firing the gaming ball to the second area 32b is more advantageous to the player than firing the gaming ball to the first area 32a So that the expected value of the variation time selected by the down table is set.

  In addition, the second start winning opening 80, the game ball is equipped with a normal fluctuation winning device 37 which can be converted to a closed state where winning is impossible or difficult and an open state where the gaming ball can win, the state of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 Operation state control means for controlling the operation mode of conversion in any of the first operation state and the second operation state in which the open time per unit time is longer than the first operation state The game control apparatus 100) is provided, and the operation state control means is controlled in the first operation state in a period in which the normal fluctuation pattern table is used, and is controlled in the second operation state in a period in which the special fluctuation pattern table is used. It will be

  Also, the first variable display game and the second variable display game can be executed simultaneously. As a result, after changing the playability according to the type of the starting opening, it is possible to simultaneously execute these variable display games having different playability, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  In addition, the variable display game is executed to change the identification information based on the winning of the game ball to the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 80), and the execution result of the variable display game is a specific result In the gaming machine that opens the special variation winning device (the first special variation winning device 38, the second special variation winning device 39), a variation storing a plurality of variation pattern tables for determining the variation time in the variation display game based on Variation pattern table acquisition means (game control device for obtaining one variation pattern table among a plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the pattern table storage means (game control apparatus 100) and the variation pattern table storage means 100) The game ball can not be won in the starting opening, or the state can be converted to the closed state where it is difficult or difficult and the game ball can be won in the open state As the operation of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 and the normal fluctuation winning device 37, either the first operation state or the second operation state in which the open time per unit time is longer than the first operation state is set. The plurality of fluctuation pattern tables are provided with operation state control means (game control device 100), and the fluctuation patterns of fluctuation time shorter than the fluctuation patterns selected in the normal fluctuation pattern table and the normal fluctuation pattern table which are usually used The variation pattern table acquiring unit is configured to acquire the special variation pattern table when the second operation status is set by the operation status control unit. It will be.

  Hereinafter, control of a gaming machine which performs such a game will be described. First, control executed by the gaming microcomputer (gaming microcomputer) 111 of the gaming control apparatus 100 will be described. The control process by the gaming microcomputer 111 mainly includes the main process shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 and the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 14 which is performed in a predetermined time cycle (for example, 4 msec).

[Main processing]
First, the main processing will be described. The main process is started by turning on the power. In this main process, as shown in FIG. 12, an interrupt vector setting process (step S1) is performed to set the vector address of the jump destination to be executed when an interrupt occurs after the process (step S1) for inhibiting the interrupt is performed. Step S2) A stack pointer setting process (step S3) is performed to set a stack pointer which is the top address of the area for saving the value of the register or the like when an interrupt occurs. Next, a signal for prohibiting the emission is output to set the emission permission signal to the prohibited state (step S4). The firing permission signal is set to a prohibited state when at least one of the game control device 100 and the payout control device 200 outputs a firing prohibition signal, and the firing of the gaming ball is prohibited.

  Thereafter, the state of input port 1 (first input port 122) is read (step S5), interrupt mode setting processing (step S6) for setting the mode of interrupt processing is performed, and processing for setting the power supply delay timer is performed (step S7). In this process, the program of the slave control means (for example, the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300) which performs various controls in accordance with the instruction from the game control device 100 forming the main control means by setting a predetermined initial value. A waiting time (for example, 3 seconds) to wait for normal activation is set. As a result, when the power is turned on, the game control apparatus 100 temporarily rises first, and sends a command to the slave control apparatus before the slave control apparatus (for example, the payout control apparatus 200 or the presentation control apparatus 300) starts up. Can avoid dropping commands. That is, when the power is turned on, the game control apparatus 100 delays the activation of the main control means (game control apparatus 100) and waits for the activation of the slave control apparatus (the payout control apparatus 200, the effect control apparatus 300, etc.) It constitutes a standby means for setting a standby time.

  The initialization switch signal is input to the first input port 122. By reading the state of the first input port 122 before the start of the standby time, the operation of the initialization switch 112 is ensured. It can be detected. That is, when the state of the initialization switch 112 is read after the standby time has elapsed, the initialization switch 112 is operated after waiting for the standby time to elapse, or the initialization switch 112 is operated from the power on to the elapse of the standby time. You need to keep doing that. However, by reading the status before the start of the standby time, it becomes possible to detect by performing the operation immediately after the power is turned on without performing such troublesome operations, and the initialization operation performed at the time of the power on It can prevent the situation that can not be accepted.

  After the process of setting the power supply delay timer (step S7), the process of counting the standby time and the process of monitoring the occurrence of the power failure during the standby time (steps S8 to S12) are performed. First, set the number of times (for example, 2) to read the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply 400 through the port and the data bus (for example, 2 times) (step S8) Perform (step S9).

  If the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S9; Y), it is determined whether the on state of the power failure monitoring signal continues for the number of checks set in step S8 (step S10). Then, if the on state of the power failure monitoring signal does not continue for the number of checks (step S10; N), the process returns to the determination (step S9) whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. If the on state of the power failure monitoring signal continues for the number of checks (step S10; Y), that is, if it is determined that a power failure has occurred, the process waits for the power of the gaming machine to be shut off. As described above, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection of a power failure due to noise or the like by determining that a power failure has occurred when the power failure monitoring signal continues to be received for a predetermined period, thereby appropriately coping with a failure at the time of power on. can do.

  That is, the game control device 100 functions as a power failure monitoring means for monitoring the occurrence of a power failure in a predetermined standby time. As a result, it becomes possible to cope with a power failure that has occurred during a period in which the activation of the game control device 100 that forms the main control means is delayed, and it is possible to appropriately cope with a problem at the time of power on. Note that access to the RAM is not permitted until the end of the standby time, and the stored contents at the previous power-off are kept, so backup processing etc. is performed when a power failure occurs here. There is no need. Therefore, even if a power failure occurs during the waiting time, it is not necessary to back up the RAM, and the control load can be reduced.

  On the other hand, if the power failure monitoring signal is not on (step S9; N), that is, if a power failure does not occur, the power on delay timer is updated by -1 (step S11). Is determined (step S12). If the value of the timer is not 0 (step S12; N), that is, if the waiting time has not ended, the process returns to the process of setting the number of checks of the power failure monitoring signal (step S8). If the value of the timer is 0 (step S12; Y), that is, if the waiting time is over, the access permission of read / write RWM (read / write memory) such as RAM or EEPROM is permitted (step S13). And outputs the off data to all output ports (set to a state where there is no output) (step S14).

  Next, a serial port (a port provided in advance in the gaming microcomputer 111 and used for communication with the effect control device 300 and the payout control device 200 in this embodiment) is set (step S15) and read first. From the state of the first input port 122, it is determined whether the initialization switch is turned on (step S16).

  If the initialization switch is off (step S16; N), it is determined whether the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection area check data (step S17), and if normal (step S17) S17; Y) It is determined whether the value of the power failure inspection region 2 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection region check data (step S18). Then, if the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (step S18; Y), the checksum calculation processing of calculating the checksum of the predetermined area in the RWM is performed (step S19), and the calculated checksum and the power cut off It is determined whether the hour checksums match (step S20). If the checksums match (step S20; Y), the process proceeds to step S21 of FIG. 13 to perform processing in the case of normal recovery from a power failure.

  In addition, when it is determined that the initialization switch is on (step S16; Y), or when it is determined that the check data of the power failure inspection area is not normal data (step S17; N or step S18; N) If it is determined that the checksum is not normal (step S20; N), the process proceeds to step S26 in FIG. 13 to perform initialization processing. That is, the initialization switch is an initialization operation unit that can be operated from the outside, and the game control device 100 initializes the data stored in the RAM based on the operation of the initialization operation unit. I

  In step S21 of FIG. 13, the initial value at the time of power failure recovery is saved in the area to be initialized (step S21). The area to be initialized here is an area relating to a power failure inspection area, a checksum area and an error fraud monitoring. Note that the busy signal status area storing the state of the payout busy signal, which is a signal indicating whether the payout control device 200 can receive a command, is also cleared to indicate that the state of the payout busy signal is not determined. It is in an undetermined state. Thereafter, the area storing the gaming state in the RWM is checked to determine whether the gaming state is in the high probability state (step S22). Here, when it is not a high probability (step S22; N), step S23 and S24 are skipped and it transfers to step S25. If the probability is high (step S22; Y), the on information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (step S23), and the high probability notification LED (error indicator) provided in the batch display device 50 is turned on, for example. The (lit) data is saved in the segment area (step S24). Then, a command at the time of power failure recovery corresponding to the processing number prepared to rationally execute the special drawing game processing described later is transmitted to the effect control board (step S25), and the process proceeds to step S31.

  On the other hand, when jumping from step S16, S17, S18, S20 to step S26, the RAM access inhibited area is set to access permission (step S26), and all RAM areas including the busy signal status area are cleared to 0. (Step S27), the RAM access inhibition area is set to access inhibition (step S28). Then, the initial value at the time of RAM initialization is saved in the area to be initialized (step S29). Here, the area to be initialized is an area related to setting of the customer waiting demonstration area and the effect mode. Then, a command at the time of RAM initialization is transmitted to the effect control board (step S30), and the process proceeds to step S31.

  It should be noted that the command at the time of power failure recovery transmitted at step S25 and the command at the time of RAM initialization transmitted at step S30 include a model designation command indicating the type of gaming machine and an ornament indicating the number of reservations in special views 1 and 2. The special drawing 1 reservation number command, the decoration special drawing 2 reservation number command, and the probability information command indicating the state of probability are included. In addition, depending on the state of power off or power on, if the special view variation display game is being executed at the time of power off, the recovery screen command, if it is waiting for the customer at power off, the customer waiting demo command If it is initialized at power on, it includes a power on command. Furthermore, a rendering mode information command indicating the state of the rendering mode depending on the model and a second operation number information command indicating the number of remaining games in the second operating state are included.

  In step S31, processing is performed to activate a CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal and a random number update trigger signal (CTC) in the gaming microcomputer 111 (clock generator). The CTC circuit is provided in a clock generator in the gaming microcomputer 111. The clock generator divides the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113 and a timer interrupt signal of a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 milliseconds) to the CPU 111A based on the divided signal. And a CTC circuit for generating a signal CTC for giving a trigger for updating the random number to be supplied to the random number generation circuit.

  After the CTC activation process of step S31, the random number generation circuit is activated and set (step S32). Specifically, setting of a code (designated value) for activating the random number generation circuit to a predetermined register (CTC update permission register) in the random number generation circuit is performed by the CPU 111A. Further, setting of bit transposition pattern of hard random numbers (here, big hit random numbers) generated by hardware of the random number generation circuit is also performed. The bit transposition pattern is a method to replace the bit arrangement of the extracted random number (arrangement before bit transposition in the upper row) in a predetermined order and store it as a different bit arrangement (arrangement after the bit transposition in the lower row) Is a pattern that determines By replacing the bits of the random number according to the bit transposition pattern, the regularity of the random number can be broken and the secrecy of the random number can be enhanced. The bit transposition pattern may be a fixed single pattern or may be selected from a plurality of patterns prepared in advance. Also, it may be set arbitrarily by the user.

  Thereafter, the values of predetermined registers (soft random number registers 1 to n) in the random number generation circuit at power-on are extracted, and the corresponding various initial value random numbers (random numbers determining the big hit symbol (big hit symbol random number 1, big hit symbol random number) 2) After saving in a predetermined area of RWM as an initial value (start value) of a random number (performing random number) for determining a hit of a common drawing (step S33), an interrupt is permitted (step S34). The random number generation circuit in the CPU 111A used in this embodiment is configured to change the initial value of the soft random number register every time the power is turned on. Therefore, this value is used as the initial value (start value) of various initial value random numbers. By doing this, it is possible to break the regularity of the random numbers generated by the software, and to make it difficult for the player to obtain an incorrect random number.

  Subsequently, an initial value random number updating process (step S35) is performed to update the values of various initial value random numbers and break the regularity of the random numbers. Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, and the hit random number are configured to be generated using the random number generated in the random number generation circuit. However, the big hit random number is a so-called "high-speed counter" updated based on a clock equal to or faster than the CPU operation clock, the big hit symbol random number, the hit random number is the same cycle as the timer interrupt processing which is the processing unit of the program. The “low-speed counter” is updated based on the CTC output (CTC (CTC 2) different from CTC (CTC 0) of timer interrupt processing). In the big hit symbol random number and the hit symbol random number, a so-called "initial value changing method" is employed in which the start value is changed using each initial value random number (generated by software) each time the random number makes one round. Each of the random numbers may be a counter type update by +1 or -1, or may be a random type update in which all the values within the range appear apart without overlapping until one round. That is, the big hit random number is a random number updated only by hardware, the big hit symbol random number, and the hit random number is a random number updated by hardware and software.

  After the initial value random number update process of step S35, the number of times the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply 400 is read and checked via the port and data bus is set (step S36), and the power failure monitoring signal is on. It is determined whether there is any (step S37). If the power failure monitoring signal is not on (step S37; N), the process returns to the initial value random number updating process (step S35). That is, when a power failure has not occurred, the initial value random number update processing and the check (loop processing) of the power failure monitoring signal are repeated. By permitting the interrupt (step S34) before the initial value random number update process (step S35), when the timer interrupt occurs during the initial value random number update process, the interrupt process is preferentially executed, and the timer interrupt is performed. By waiting for the initial value random number updating process, it is possible to avoid the pressure on the interrupt process.

  In addition to the main processing, there is also a method of performing initial value random number update processing in the timer interrupt processing in addition to the main processing, and the initial value random number update processing in step S35 described above In order to prevent the value random number update process from being executed, when performing the initial value random number update process in the main process, it is necessary to prohibit the interrupt and then update and cancel the interrupt as in this embodiment. There is no problem in canceling the interrupt before the initial value random number update process if the initial value random number update process in the timer interrupt process is not performed but is performed only in the main process, and the main process It has the advantage of being simplified.

  If the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S37; Y), it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal remains on for the number of checks set in step S36 (step S38). Then, if the on state of the power failure monitoring signal does not continue for the number of checks (step S38; N), the process returns to the determination (step S37) whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. In addition, when the on state of the power failure monitoring signal continues for the number of checks (step S38; Y), that is, when it is determined that a power failure has occurred, the processing for temporarily prohibiting the interrupt (step S39) A process (step S40) of outputting off data to the output port is performed.

  Thereafter, the blackout inspection area check data 1 is saved in the blackout inspection area 1 (step S41), and the blackout inspection area check data 2 is saved in the blackout inspection area 2 (step S42). Furthermore, a checksum calculation process (step S43) for calculating a checksum at the time of power interruption of the RWM, and a process (step S44) for saving the calculated checksum (step S45) ) And wait for the power to the game machine to shut off. As described above, by saving check data in the power failure inspection area and calculating a checksum at the time of power shutdown, it is determined whether or not the information stored in the RWM is correctly backed up before the power shutdown. It can be judged at the time of reinjection.

  From the above, main control means (game control apparatus 100) for controlling the game in an integrated manner, and slave control means (disbursement control apparatus 200, effect control apparatus 300, etc.) for performing various controls in accordance with instructions from the main control means. Standby control means for setting a predetermined standby time for waiting for activation of the slave control device by delaying activation of the main control device when the power is turned on. And 100) and the blackout monitoring means (game control apparatus 100) for monitoring the occurrence of blackout in the predetermined standby time.

  Further, the power supply device 400 for supplying power to various devices is provided, and the power supply device 400 is configured to output a power failure monitoring signal when the occurrence of a power failure is detected, and the power failure monitoring means (game control device 100) When the power failure monitoring signal is continuously received for a predetermined period, it is determined that the power failure has occurred.

  Further, the main control means (game control apparatus 100) is based on the RAM 111C capable of storing data, an initialization operation unit (initialization switch) capable of external operation, and the operation of the initialization operation unit. An initialization unit (game control apparatus 100) for initializing data stored in the RAM 111C is provided, and the operation state of the initialization unit is read before the start of the standby time.

  Also, the main control means (game control apparatus 100) permits access to the RAM 111C after the standby time has elapsed.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, the timer interrupt process is started by inputting a periodic timer interrupt signal generated by the CTC circuit in the clock generator to the CPU 111A. When a timer interrupt occurs in the gaming microcomputer 111, the timer interrupt process of FIG. 14 is started.

  When the timer interrupt process is started, a process of saving a register (step S101) is first performed to transfer the value held in a predetermined register to the RWM. In the Z80-based microcomputer used as a gaming microcomputer in this embodiment, the process can be replaced by saving the value held in the front register to the back register. Next, input from various sensors and switches, and taking in of signals, that is, input processing for reading the state of each input port (step S102) is performed. Then, based on the output data set in the various processes, an output process (step S103) is performed to perform drive control of actuators such as solenoids (large winning opening solenoids 38b and 39b, and common electric solenoid 37c). When the signal of emission prohibition is output in step S4 in the main processing, the output of emission is performed, and the emission permission signal is output, and the emission permission signal can be set to the permission state.

Then, an external information editing process (step S113) is performed in which signals to be output to various external devices are set in the output buffer. Subsequently, after performing processing (step S114) for restoring data of the register saved in step S101, processing for permitting interruption (step S115) is performed, and the timer interruption processing is ended.

On the other hand, if the value of the special view 1 game processing timer is not 0 in step A4 (step A4; N), the process proceeds to step A20 to perform the subsequent processes.

[Special figure 1 normal processing]
Next, the details of the special figure 1 routine process (step A9) in the special figure 1 game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 16, in the special view 1 ordinary processing, first, it is determined whether the special view 1 number of reservations (first start storage number) is 0 (step A 31). Then, when it is determined that the special figure 1 hold count is not 0 (step A 31; N), a decoration special view hold count command corresponding to the special view 1 hold count after −1 updating is prepared (step A 32). (Step A33) is performed. Next, the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (step A34) is performed, the special figure 1 during fluctuation process shift setting process (step A35) is performed, and the special figure 1 normal process is ended.

  In addition, at the time of performing the process (step A32) of preparing the decoration special drawing reservation number command, the subtraction of the holding number based on the start of the special drawing variation display game is not performed, and the current special drawing 1 holding number is -1. The special number 1 hold number command corresponding to the special number 1 hold number is prepared. The process of updating the special figure 1 reservation number by -1 is performed in the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (step A34).

  On the other hand, if the special drawing 1 reservation number is 0 (step A31; Y), it is determined whether the special drawing 2 reservation number is 0 (step A36), and the special drawing 2 reservation number is not 0 (step A36) ; N) ends special processing 1 processing normally. Also, if the special drawing 2 reservation number is 0 (step A36; Y), it is determined whether the customer waiting demo is started (step A37), and the customer waiting demo is not started (step A37; N) ) Saves the waiting for customer demonstration flag in the waiting for customer demonstration flag area (step A38).

  Subsequently, a customer waiting demo command is prepared (step A39), a command setting process (step A40) is performed, a special figure 1 ordinary process transition setting process 1 (step A41) is performed, and the special figure 1 ordinary process is ended. Do. On the other hand, when the customer waiting demo has been started at step A37 (step A37; Y), the special figure 1 ordinary process shift setting process 1 (step A41) is performed, and the special figure 1 ordinary process is ended.

[Special figure 1 change start processing]
Next, the details of the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (step A34) in the special figure 1 normal process described above will be described. The special figure 1 fluctuation start process is a process performed at the start of the first special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. 17, first, the special figure 1 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, the special figure 1) is saved in the fluctuation symbol discrimination area (step A51). A hit flag 1 setting process (step A52) is performed to set shift information, big hit information or small hit information to the hit flag 1 for determining whether the display game is a big hit or a small hit. In this hit flag 1 setting process, it is determined first whether or not the big hit random number for the special figure 1 big hit random number, and if it is not the big hit, it is determined whether it is a small hit. That is, it can be said that a small hit is drawn when it is not a big hit, and is drawn from among outs.

  Next, the special figure 1 stop symbol setting process (step A53) according to the setting of the special figure 1 stop symbol (symbol information) is performed. In this special figure 1 stop symbol setting process, when the big hit information is set in the hit flag 1, the stop symbol number corresponding to the big hit symbol random number of the special figure 1 big hit symbol random number storage area (for number of holding 1) is acquired , And acquires a stop symbol pattern corresponding to the stop symbol number. By this processing, one special result is selected from a plurality of special results. Also, when small hit information is set in the hit flag 1, the stop symbol number corresponding to the small hit is acquired, and the stop symbol pattern corresponding to the stop symbol number is acquired. Further, when the big hit information and the small hit information are not set in the hit flag 1, the stop symbol number corresponding to the detachment is obtained, and the stop symbol pattern corresponding to the stop symbol number is obtained. That is, when the game control device 100 derives a specific result (special result, small hit result), it constitutes a specific result selection means for selecting one of a plurality of types of specific results. It should be noted that a plurality of types may be provided for out-of-plane and small hits, and the types may be selected even in the case of each result, and among these types, a plurality of results serving as a trigger to switch the variation pattern table is included. May be That is, when the gaming control apparatus 100 derives the predetermined result, the game control apparatus 100 may form a predetermined result selecting unit that selects one of the plurality of predetermined results.

  Thereafter, special figure information setting processing (step A54) for setting special figure information which is a parameter for setting a variation pattern is performed to refer to various information related to setting of a variation pattern of the first special figure variation display game. The special figure 1 fluctuation pattern setting information table which is the table where information of is set, is prepared (step A55). After that, the variation pattern setting process (step A56) for setting the variation pattern which is the variation aspect in the first special figure variation display game is performed, and the variation start information setting process for setting the information of the variation start of the first special figure variation display game (Step A57) is performed, and the special figure 1 fluctuation start process is ended. In the fluctuation pattern setting process (step A56), the fluctuation pattern table A (see FIG. 6A) is used as a table used when determining the fluctuation pattern of the first special figure fluctuation display game, when the result is out of order. When the result is a big hit, the variation pattern table B (see FIG. 6B) is selected, and when the result is a small hit, a small hit variation pattern table (not shown) is selected.

[Process while displaying special figure 1]
Next, the details of the special figure 1 display processing (step A11) in the special figure 1 game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure 1 display process, first, the hit flag 1 set in the hit flag 1 setting process in the special figure 1 fluctuation start process is loaded (step A71), and the RWM hit flag A process (step A72) of clearing one area is performed. Then, it is determined whether the loaded hit flag 1 is a big hit (step A73), and when it is determined that it is a big hit (step A73; Y), the start of the big hit (special figure 1 big hit) of the first special figure fluctuation display game Are stored in the test signal output data area of the RWM (step A74), and the round number upper limit table is set (step A75).

  After the process of setting the round number upper limit table (step A75), the round number upper limit value corresponding to the round number upper limit value information is acquired and saved in the round number upper limit value area of the RWM (step A76). Subsequently, the round LED pointer corresponding to the round number upper limit value information is acquired and saved in the round LED pointer area of the RWM (step A77).

  Next, a decoration special drawing command corresponding to the stop symbol pattern is loaded from the decoration special drawing command area of the RWM and prepared (step A78), and a command setting process (step A79) is performed. After that, prepare a probability information command related to the information to make the probability of being hit result in the common drawing fluctuation display game and the special drawing fluctuation display game the normal probability state (low probability state) (step A80) Step A81) is performed. Subsequently, a fanfare command corresponding to the symbol information (stop symbol number or stop symbol pattern) set in the special view 1 stop symbol setting process is prepared (step A82), and the command setting process (step A83) is performed.

  Next, a signal corresponding to the special winning opening opening information and the probability of being hit in the common view variation display game and the special view variation display game is saved in the external information output data area of the RWM (step A84). After that, the big hit fanfare time corresponding to the big winning opening opening information is saved in the special figure game processing timer area (step A85). Then, the special winning opening illegal prize number area of the special winning opening (here, the first special variation winning device 38) corresponding to the special winning opening opening information is cleared (step A86), and the special winning corresponding to the special winning opening opening information An out-of-fair monitoring period flag is saved in the large winning opening fraud monitoring period flag area of the mouth (step A87).

  Next, the special figure game mode flag is loaded (step A88), and the loaded flag is saved in the special figure game mode flag save area (step A89). As a result, information of the effect mode when the special result occurs is stored. Then, the effect mode after the end of the special game state is determined based on the information stored later. Thereafter, special processing 1 fanfare / in-interval processing shift setting processing 1 (step A90) is performed, and the special processing 1 display processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step A73 that hit flag 1 is not a big hit (step A73; N), variation count update processing (step A91) is performed to manage the number of executions of the special figure variation display game set to the special mode. Then, it is checked whether or not the hit flag 1 is a small hit (step A 92), and if it is not a small hit (step A 93; N), that is, if it is off, the special figure 1 normal process transition setting process (step A 99) , The special figure 1 display processing ends. In special process 1 process transition setting process (step A99), the process number to set the process number "0" related to the special process 1 routine process, the flag defining the special winning opening fraud monitoring period (big winning opening fraud monitoring information), etc. I do.

  If the hit flag 1 is a small hit (step A93; Y), a fanfare command is prepared (step A94), and a command setting process is performed (step A95). Furthermore, an ornament special drawing command corresponding to the symbol information (stop symbol pattern information) related to the ornament special figure variation display game is loaded from the ornament special drawing command area of RWM and prepared (step A96), and the command setting process is performed ( Step A97). Then, the special figure 1 small hit fanfare medium process transition setting process (step A98) is performed, and the special figure 1 display process is ended.

  As a result, the special figure 1 small hit fanfare medium process (step A16) shown in FIG. 15 and the special figure 1 small hit medium process (step A17), special figure 1 small hitting remaining ball processing (step A18) and special figure 1 small hitting end processing (step A19) will be performed. As a result of these processes, a small hit gaming state in which the first special variation winning device 38 is opened and closed is performed. That is, based on the game control device 100 becoming a small hit result of the variable display game (special figure fluctuation display game), the special fluctuation winning device (first special fluctuation winning device 38, second special fluctuation winning device 39) Make small hit game occurrence means to generate a small hit game state to open and close conversion.

[Variation count update process]
Next, the details of the variation number updating process (step A91) in the above-described special view display process will be described. As shown in FIG. 19, in the fluctuation number updating process, it is first determined whether the ST state or the special state is in progress (step A101). If the ST state or the special state is not in progress (step A101; N), the fluctuation number updating process is ended. When the ST state or the special state is in progress (step A101; Y), the number of special modes is updated by -1 (step A102), and it is determined whether the number of special modes is 0 (step A103). In addition, the number of special modes is set to an initial value (here, 20 or 300) in accordance with the number of times of execution of the special view variation display game to be in the ST state or the special state when the special game state ends.

  If the number of special modes is not 0 (step A103; N), that is, if the ST state or the special state continues in the next special figure variation display game, the variation number update process is ended. If the number of special modes is 0 (step A103; Y), that is, if the ST state or the special state ends in the special figure variation display game this time, the probability information command (normal) at the end of the special mode is Preparation is made (step A104), and command setting processing is performed (step A105).

  Thereafter, the signal regarding the end of the second operation state is saved in the external output data area (step A106), and the signal regarding the end of the second operation state is saved in the test signal output data area (step A107). Next, the number in the normal gaming state is saved in the gaming state display number area (step A108), and the common drawing low probability & no general support support flag is saved in the common drawing game mode flag area (step A109). Furthermore, the normal game state flag is saved in the special view game mode flag area (step A110), the probability information command (normal) is saved in the power failure recovery transmission command area (step A111), and the fluctuation number updating process is ended. .

  A process similar to the special figure 1 display process shown in FIG. 18 is performed on the second special figure variation display game in the special figure 2 display process in the special figure 2 game process described later. The variation count update process shown in FIG. 19 is also performed similarly, and the special mode count is updated by -1 regardless of whether the first special view variation display game or the second special view variation display game is executed. .

  By the above processing, when the ST state or the special state is set due to the occurrence of the special game state, the ST state or the special state is continued until the set number of times to execute the special figure variation display game, and then the normal game state Will move to That is, the game control apparatus 100 forms control means capable of continuing the ST state and the special state until the variable display game of the predetermined number of continuations is executed from the end of the special game state.

[Special figure 1 big hit end processing]
Next, the details of the special view 1 jackpot end process (step A15) in the special view 1 game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in the special figure 1 big hit end process, it is judged first whether there is an ST flag which is set when the ST state is a special result to be set (step A71). Then, when there is no ST flag (step A121; N), the signal regarding the start of the second operation state is saved in the external information output data area (step A122), and the signal regarding the start of the second operation state is the test signal output data Save to the area (step A123).

  Next, the special state number is saved in the gaming state display number area (step A124), and the common drawing high probability & common electric support flag is saved in the common drawing game mode flag area (step A125). Then, the special status flag is saved in the special view game mode flag area (step A126), the probability information command (special status) is saved in the power failure recovery transmission command area (step A127), and the symbol information is stored in the special mode count area. Save the initial value of the number of special modes according to (step A134).

When the power on command is received, the power on process (step C58) is performed to perform the process necessary at the time of power on. When a power failure recovery command is received, a power failure recovery (other than customer waiting) processing (step C59) is performed to perform processing necessary for power failure recovery. When a customer waiting demo command is received, a customer waiting process (step C60) is performed to carry out a process related to the display of the customer waiting demonstration.

  Further, when the change command is received, a change-in-progress process (step C61) is performed to carry out a process relating to the execution of the decorative figure change display game. In this fluctuation-in-progress processing, setting of information necessary for playing the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is performed. In the setting of information necessary to play this decorative special figure variation display game, for example, effects (variation based on information (whether or not a big hit, variation pattern information, etc.) included in the variation command transmitted from the game control device 100 Set the pattern, fluctuation time, etc.). When the stop information command is received, processing is also performed to set a special view extension display time corresponding to the stop display time of the identification information in the decorative special view variable display game.

  In addition, since the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game can be executed at the same time, the processing for the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game in the during-variation process Processing is to be performed separately and in parallel. The command transmitted from the game control device 100 includes information that makes it possible to identify which game the game belongs to, and based on this information, processing for the corresponding game is performed.

  If a fanfare command has been received, fanfare processing (step C62) is performed, which is processing related to the start of the special game state or the small hit game state. In addition, when the round command is received, the processing during the round which is the processing regarding the round game (step C63) is performed. When an interval command is received, interval processing (step C64), which is processing relating to an interval between rounds, is performed. In addition, when the ending command is received, ending processing (step C65) which is processing concerning the end of special game state and the small hitting game state is done.

  After performing the above-described each process selected by the branch process (step C57) using the command identifier, the process based on the command not immediately reflected in the image is performed. As this process, first, a pending number command reception process (step C66) is performed to execute a process based on the pending number command (special figure 1 pending number command, special figure 2 pending number command) including information on increase and decrease of starting storage. A decoration special drawing command reception process (step C67) is performed to perform processing based on the decoration special drawing command including information on the stop symbol of the figure variation display game.

  Then, the corresponding value is internally set based on the probability information command including information on the probability state (whether the state is the high probability state, the second operation state, the special mode, etc.) At the same time, a probability information command reception process (step C68) is performed to transmit the background command to the video control microcomputer (2nd CPU) 312. Then, based on the prior determination command (prefetch pattern command, prefetch variation pattern command) including the result of the pre-reading process which determines the result etc. of the special figure fluctuation display game based on starting memory beforehand before the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game Pre-determination processing (step C69) is performed to complete the 1st scene control processing. As described above, the probability information command reception process (step C68) is performed before the predetermination process (step C69), and the change of the probability information can be monitored to perform highly reliable predetermination.

  By the processing as described above, the effect control device 300 performs control of display of the special feature variation display game performed on the display device 41 and effects. In the above embodiment, the game control apparatus 100 controls switching between the special mode and the normal mode, but the effect control apparatus 300 may control switching between the special mode and the normal mode. In this case, at least the fluctuation time is determined in the fluctuation processing (step C61), and the fluctuation time for the special mode and the fluctuation time for the normal mode are determined according to the situation. Set one of the If the effect control device 300 controls switching between the normal mode and the special mode in this manner, it is possible to bring about a change in the amount of balls under the control of the effect control device 300 as in the slot machine. Furthermore, if controlled by the effect control device 300, it is also possible to determine whether to shift to the ST state by the operation mode of the effect button 25.

  In the above embodiments, the normal gaming state, the ST state and the special state are set as the gaming state, but as described above, the probability of becoming a big hit in the special view fluctuation display game is normally probability state and There is a high probability state, the operation mode of the normal fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 has the first operation state and the second operation state, and the selection pattern of the fluctuation pattern which is the execution mode of the special figure fluctuation display game There are normal mode and special mode. These can be set and changed independently, and the first to eighth gaming states can be configured as shown in FIG. 31 by these setting modes.

  Then, for example, these gaming states are selected based on the type of the special result or based on the result of the sorting lottery performed based on the derivation of the special result, and transition to any gaming state after the end of the special gaming state Do. Of course, the game state may be shifted by the establishment of conditions other than the derivation of the special result such as the derivation of the small hit.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the special mode is set in both the ST state and the special state (the eighth gaming state or the fourth gaming state transition), but in the special state, the special mode is not set and the normal mode is set. May be set (transition to the third gaming state), or may be transitioned to the normal gaming state (transition to the first gaming state) instead of the special state. In this way, it can be said whether or not to shift to the ST state whether or not to shift to the special mode.

  In addition, when it is the special result where high probability state is set, it is decided that ST flag is set and it moves to ST state (eighth game state), but it is the special result which sets high probability state, Also, the ST state may not be transitioned without setting the ST flag. That is, the high probability state and the special mode are set (transition to the eighth gaming state), and the high probability state and the normal mode are set (transition to the seventh gaming state), and transition to any state is made. The choice is made according to the type of special result. In this way, the gaming state can be made more colorful, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  That is, the variable display game is executed to change the identification information based on the winning of the game ball to the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 80), and the execution result of the variable display game is a specific result In the gaming machine that generates the special gaming state based on the above, a variation pattern table storage unit (game control apparatus 100) storing a plurality of variation pattern tables for determining a variation time in a variation display game, and a variation pattern table storage unit The variation pattern table acquiring means (game control apparatus 100) for acquiring one variation pattern table among the plurality of variation pattern tables stored and determining the variation pattern, and when deriving the identification result, a plurality of types of identification results The specific result selection means (game control device 100) for selecting one from among them and the probability that the specific result will be the normal probability And a probability setting means (game control device 100) for setting any of high probability states higher than the normal probability state, and the plurality of fluctuation pattern tables are usually used normally fluctuation pattern tables and At least the special variation pattern table having a high selection ratio of variation patterns of variation time shorter than the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern table, and the probability setting means is for the type of the specific result selected by the specific result selection means Based on the probability after the end of the special gaming state is set, the fluctuation pattern table acquisition means usually fluctuates when a predetermined specific result is selected among the special results for which the probability setting means sets the high probability state The change pattern may be acquired by switching from the pattern table to the special change pattern table. Here, the specific result includes the result of the big hit without the operation of the condition device, as well as the result of the big hit with the operation of the condition device.

  Further, although the predetermined condition for transitioning to the ST state can be established by deriving the special result, the predetermined condition for transitioning to the ST state may be established constantly or with a predetermined probability by deriving the small hitting result. In addition, whether or not to be in the ST state is determined by the type of the special result derived, but it may be performed by a separate lottery, or an inflow unit may be provided inside the special fluctuation winning device, If the gaming ball flows into the inflow portion in the gaming state, the ST state may be set.

  Although the trigger for switching from the normal mode to the special mode is derived as the special result, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be all or part of a case where a predetermined special result is derived among special results, or a case where a special result (per probability variation) for setting a high probability state is derived. Moreover, it is good also as a reach | reach or generation | occurrence | production of a specific reach, etc. It is good also as having won by the predetermined | prescribed lottery. Also, the small hit may be derived, or the predetermined period may have elapsed since the derivation of the special result or the small hit.

  The predetermined period is, for example, the execution of a predetermined number of times the special figure variation display game or a predetermined time. Further, the predetermined period may be one prescribed value or may be changed by being determined by lottery. Furthermore, the predetermined period may be extended by satisfying a certain condition. In addition, it is possible to count both the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game by counting the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game a predetermined number of times, or only one of them. May be counted. Further, mission presentation may be performed in which a predetermined condition is imposed in a predetermined period, and switching to the special mode may be performed based on satisfaction of the predetermined condition and achievement of the mission. In addition, these conditions may be used as a trigger for switching from the special mode to the normal mode. Furthermore, an RTC (real time clock) may be provided to clock actual date and time, and the normal mode and the special mode may be switched according to the information of the RTC, that is, according to the date and time.

  Also, although the first special view variation display game and the second special view variation display game can be executed at the same time, when one special view variation display game is executed, the other special view variation display game is not executed. You may do so. In this case, either the first special view variation display game or the second special view variation display game may be given priority, and the first special view variation display game and the second special game may be executed in the order of generation of start storage. The figure variation display game may be sequentially executed.

  The configuration of the gaming board 30 and the configuration of the gaming state may be as follows. As shown in FIG. 32, a normal fluctuation winning device 37 having a second starting winning opening 80 may be provided below the starting winning opening 36. In this case, when the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is in the closed state, the second start winning opening 80 can not be won because the starting winning opening 36 is present. In addition, a second special variation winning device 39 is provided in the first area 32a, and is configured to always shoot the game ball to the first area 32a. Even if the game ball is allowed to flow down to either of the first area 32a and the second area 32b, it may be possible to aim at both the start winning hole 36 and the normal fluctuation winning device 37, or the second area The game ball which has flowed down 32b may be prevented from winning in any of the start winning opening 36 and the normal fluctuation winning device 37. In the first operation state, if the normal fluctuation display game is not hit, and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 can not win in the closed state, the second start winning opening 80 in the normal mode is established. It is possible to prevent winning.

  Further, FIG. 33 shows another example of distribution of the game state. Here, the probability of becoming a big hit in the special figure fluctuation display game is set to 1/300 in the normal probability state and 1/30 in the high probability state. Further, the probability of being a small hit is 1/300 in the first special view variation display game and 1/5 in the second special view variation display game.

  The probability that the high probability state is set after the end of the special game state is 70%, and when the high probability state is set, the high probability is until the special game variation display game is executed 300 times after the end of the special game state The state continues and then becomes the normal probability state. In addition, the probability that the second operation state is set after the end of the special game state is 70%, and when the second operation state is set, the special game variation display game is executed 300 times after the end of the special game state The second operating state continues until the second operating state, and then the first operating state is established. Further, the probability that the special mode is set after the end of the special game state is 70%, and when the special mode is set, the special mode is executed until the special game variation display game is executed 300 times after the end of the special game state. Continues and then goes into the normal mode.

  As a result, when the special game state is ended, the first game state is transitioned to any of the first to eighth game states, and when the special game is performed 300 times without the special result being derived, the first game state is returned to. It becomes. In this way, the gaming state can be diversified, and the interest of the game can be improved. Note that, by adjusting the transition condition of the gaming state, it may be possible to shift to only some of the predetermined gaming states among the first to eighth gaming states.

  In addition to this, for example, when it is a high probability state, it is a gaming machine that performs transition lottery to a normal probability state (so-called fall lottery) every time the special view variation display game is executed. It is possible to expect derivation of the next special result by setting, but to decrease the number of balls, and shift to the first gaming state or the second gaming state based on winning the falling lottery. As a result, it is possible to have the possibility of increasing the ball holding after falling, and not only the feeling of anticipation for avoiding fall but also the feeling of anticipation for the state after falling so that the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  FIG. 34 shows another example of the configuration of the game board 30. As shown in FIG. In this gaming board 30, the normal winning prize device 37 is provided with a pair of movable members 37b and 37b that can be converted into a state where the game ball can easily flow in by opening the start winning opening 36 in the shape of reverse "ha" at the top. The second start winning opening 80 is not provided with the normal fluctuation winning device 37. It is possible to win the start winning opening 36 even if the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is closed. In addition, when it is set as such composition, it comprises so that the game ball which flowed down the 2nd field 32b does not win a start winning a prize mouth 36, and controls the firing of the game ball to the 2nd field 32b in the normal mode. It is desirable to do so. Furthermore, when a special result is derived in the second special view variable display game, if only the special gaming state of 2R is generated, it is possible to suppress the launch of the gaming ball to the second area 32b in the normal mode. it can.

  FIG. 35 shows an example of the transition of the gaming state when the gaming board 30 shown in FIG. 34 is used. The left strike game 1 state corresponds to the first game state shown in FIG. In this left-handed game 1 state, when a special result for which a normal probability state is set after the special game state is derived, the state shifts to the left-handed game 2 state after the end of the special game state. In addition, in the left-handed game 1 state, when the special result of the probability change per which the high probability state is set after the special game state is derived, the state shifts to the left-handed game 3 state after the end of the special game state.

  The left strike game 2 state corresponds to the third game state shown in FIG. In the left-handed game 2 state, when the special result of the probability change per which the high probability state is set after the special game state is derived, the state shifts to the left-handed game 3 state after the end of the special game state. In addition, in the left-handed game 2 state, if a special figure variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times without deriving a special result, the state shifts to the left-handed game 1 state. Furthermore, in the left-handed game 2 state, when a special result for which a normal probability state is set after the special game state is derived, the left-handed game 2 state is entered again after the end of the special game state.

  The left strike game 3 state corresponds to the seventh game state shown in FIG. In this left-handed game 3 state, when a special result for which a normal probability state is set after the special game state is derived, a transition to left-handed game 1 is made after the end of the special game state. In addition, in the left-handed game 3 state, when the special figure variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times without deriving a special result, the state shifts to the left-handed game 4 state. Furthermore, in the left-handed game 3 state, when the special result of the probability variation hit where the high probability state is set after the special-game state is derived, the left-handed game 3 state is entered again after the end of the special game state.

  The left strike game 4 state corresponds to the fifth game state shown in FIG. In the left hitting game 4 state, when a special result for which a normal probability state is set after the special playing state is derived, the process shifts to the left hitting game 3 after the end of the special game state. In addition, in the left-handed game 4 state, when the special result of the probability change per which the high probability state is set after the special game state is derived, the left-handed game 3 state is again established after the end of the special game state. Furthermore, when the small hitting result is derived in the first special view fluctuation display game in the left hitting game 4 state, the small hitting Rush mode 1 is entered after the small hitting gaming state ends.

  The small hit Rush mode 1 corresponds to the sixth gaming state shown in FIG. 31. Here, the game is played by hitting the right. In this small hit Rush mode 1, when the special result for which the normal probability state is set after the special gaming state is derived in the second special view fluctuation display game, the small hit Rush mode 2 after the end of the special gaming state Migrate to In addition, in the small hitting Rush mode 1, when the special result of the probability variation per which the high probability state is set after the special gaming state is derived in the second special view fluctuation display game, the left-handed gaming 3 after the end of the special gaming state 3 Transition to the state. When the small hit result is derived in the small hit Rush mode 1, the small hit Rush mode 1 is entered again after the small hit gaming state ends.

  The small hit Rush mode 2 corresponds to the second gaming state shown in FIG. 31, and here, the game is played by hitting the right. In this small hit Rush mode 2, when the special result for which the normal probability state is set after the special game state is derived in the second special view fluctuation display game, the left-handed game 2 state after the end of the special game state Migrate to In addition, in the small hitting Rush mode 2, when the special result of the probability variation per which the high probability state is set after the special gaming state is derived in the second special view fluctuation display game, the left-handed gaming 3 after the end of the special gaming state 3 Transition to the state. When the small hit result is derived in the small hit Rush mode 2, the small hit Rush mode 2 is entered again after the small hit gaming state ends.

  In the small hit Rush mode, the player's ball tends to increase mainly due to the small hit, and in the small hit Rush mode 2, the player's possession is held over a period until the special result is won with a probability of 1/300. It will be in the state where a sphere increases. In the case of the conventional gaming machine, a significant increase in ball holding can not be expected unless the high probability state continues, but in the gaming machine of this configuration, it is desirable to increase the ball holding even in the normal probability state It has an unconventional play that the ball can be increased by staying for a long time in the small hit Rush mode 2 without generating special results. In addition, the transition to the small hit Rush mode has to go through a plurality of gaming state, has become a bonus for the player who has cleared such complicated conditions, by the feeling of expectation of the transition to the small hit Rush mode It is possible to improve the interest.

  FIG. 36 shows another example of the configuration of the game board 30. As shown in FIG. In this gaming board 30, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is not provided in any of the starting winning opening 36 and the second starting winning opening 80. Even with such a configuration, by providing the function of switching between the normal mode and the special mode, it is possible to create a state in which the player's ball tends to decrease and a state in which the ball tends to increase. You can have it. In addition, when it is set as such composition, it comprises so that the game ball which flowed down the 2nd field 32b does not win a start winning a prize mouth 36, and controls the firing of the game ball to the 2nd field 32b in the normal mode. It is desirable to do. Furthermore, when a special result is derived in the second special view variable display game, if only the special gaming state of 2R is generated, it is possible to suppress the launch of the gaming ball to the second area 32b in the normal mode. it can.

  As described above, the configuration of the game board 30 may be changed, the probability of becoming a big hit in the special view change display game, the normal change display game and the operation mode of the normal change winning device 37, the special view change display game By setting various selection conditions of the variation pattern, which is an execution mode, various gaming machines with different tastes can be configured.

First Modification
Next, a first modified example of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, whether to shift to the ST state is determined by lottery.

[Transition lottery process]
In the gaming machine of the present modification, a transition lottery process shown in FIG. 37 is performed when setting the fanfare in the special figure 1 fanfare / during interval process (step A11). In this transition lottery process, first, a determination value corresponding to the type of special result is set (step A331). Thus, the probability of shifting to the ST state is set according to the type of the special result (the value of the jackpot symbol random number). For example, in accordance with the type of the special result, the determination value is set such that the transition probability to the ST state is any one of 15%, 50%, and 100%.

  Then, the transition lottery random number is acquired (step A332), and it is determined whether the acquired transition lottery random number matches the determination value, that is, whether the transition lottery is won (step A333). If the transition lottery random number matches the determination value, that is, if the transition lottery is won (step A333; Y), the ST flag is set (step A334), and the transition lottery processing is ended. As a result, the ST state is set in the special view 1 big hit end process (step A15). If the transition lottery random number does not match the determination value, that is, if the transition lottery is not won (step A333; N), the transition lottery process is ended. As a result, the special state is set in the special figure 1 big hit end process (step A15). As a result, in addition to the derivation of the special result, the user is interested in the type of the special result, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, the lottery result of the transition lottery is notified to the player by displaying a predetermined game on the display device 41. FIG. 38 shows an example of notification of transition to the ST state in the gaming machine of this modification. As shown in FIG. 38A, a display indicating that the special result is derived is performed, and the special game state is started. Then, in the final round in the special game state, as shown in FIG. 38C, a notification game is started to notify whether there is a transition to the ST state (small hit Rush) after the end of the special game state.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (d), in this notification game, first, an area of "Sorry" for notifying that it does not shift to the ST state, and an area of "Rush" for notifying that it shifts to the ST state. However, movement display is performed in which display is sequentially performed in a predetermined display color. The game is a roulette-like game in which the game state is notified by an area finally displayed in a predetermined display color after movement display is ended based on the elapse of a predetermined time or the operation of the effect button 25. In (d) of FIG. 38, the notification game ends with the area “Rush” finally displayed in a predetermined display color, and a state transition to the ST state is notified, and the special It becomes ST state after the end of the game state.

  In addition, while setting the fanfare in the special figure 2 fanfare / in-interval process (step A210), the transition lottery process shown in FIG. 37 is performed, and the special figure 2 big hit end process is also performed with the special figure 1 big hit end process. Similar processing may be performed, and transition to the ST state may be set with a predetermined probability. Alternatively, transition to the ST state may be enabled by deriving the small hit result, and a plurality of small hit result modes may be set to change the transition probability to the ST state according to the type of the small hit result mode. In this case, a small hit result is derived as shown in FIG. 38 (b), and the notification game shown in FIGS. 38 (b) and 38 (c) is displayed in the small hit gaming state based on the small hit result. .

  In addition, when the transition lottery is not won, the special mode may not be set, and the gaming state may be set in which the normal mode is set. That is, it may be a lottery whether or not to shift the transition lottery to the special mode. That is, the game control apparatus 100 may be a transfer lottery means that performs a transfer lottery that determines whether to establish a predetermined condition for switching from the normal variation pattern table to the special variation pattern table based on derivation of the specific result. Also, instead of setting the transition probability according to the type of the special result, the transition probability may be set by lottery. In addition, the presence or absence of the transition to the ST state is determined before the start of the notification game, and the determination result is simply notified in the notification game, but the input of the presentation button 25 is made to the game control apparatus 100. It may be determined whether or not to shift to the ST state at the operation timing of the effect button 25 in the notification game.

  Furthermore, a plurality of types may be provided also for out-slip and small hits, and the types may be selected even in the case of each result, and among these types, a plurality of results serving as a trigger for the transition lottery are included. Also good. That is, based on the derivation of the predetermined result (including the identification result and the outlier result), the game control apparatus 100 performs the transition lottery to determine whether or not the predetermined condition to switch from the normal fluctuation pattern table to the special fluctuation pattern table is established. You may make a transition lottery means. Then, the winning probability of the transition lottery may be set according to the type of the predetermined result.

  From the above, based on the derivation of the predetermined result, the transition lottery means (the game control apparatus 100) performing the transition lottery to determine whether or not the predetermined condition is established, and a plurality of types of identification when the predetermined result is derived The transition lottery means sets the probability of determining that the predetermined condition is established, based on the type of the derived predetermined result, and the predetermined result selection unit (game control apparatus 100) for selecting one of the results. It is supposed to be done.

Second Modified Example
Next, a second modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the probability of a small hit result can be changed.

  FIG. 39 shows the small hit probability in the gaming machine of this modification. The first special view variation display game is always 1/300 regardless of the derivation probability of the special result (normal probability state or high probability state) and the game mode (normal mode or special mode). For the second special view variable display game, 1/300 is set as the small hit normal probability in the normal mode, and 1/5 is set as the small hit high probability in the special mode.

  The small hit probability is controlled by the game control apparatus 100 based on the state of the special view game mode flag, and when the ST state flag and the special state flag are set as the special view game mode flag (steps A 126 and A 132). , A305) set the small hit high probability. Then, when the normal game state flag is set as the special view game mode flag (step A110), the small hit normal probability is set. That is, the game control apparatus 100 constitutes a small hit probability setting means for setting the probability of being a small hit to either a small hit normal probability or a small hit high probability higher than the small hit normal probability.

  By doing this, it is possible to prevent the player from expecting a small hit and hitting the right in the normal mode, and a small hit is likely to occur with the transition to the special mode. It is possible to give the game with no gameplay and to enhance interest.

  From the above, the predetermined result that can trigger switching of the fluctuation pattern table is a specific result that can generate either a big hit with the operation of the condition device or a small hit without the operation of the condition device. The small hit probability setting means is provided with a small hit probability setting means (game control device 100) for setting the probability of being a hit to either a small hit normal probability or a small hit high probability higher than the small hit normal probability. In the variable display game in which the normal fluctuation pattern table is used, the small hit normal probability is set, and in the variable display game in which the special fluctuation pattern table is used, the small hit high probability can be set.

Third Modified Example
Next, a third modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. The gaming machine of the present variation is adapted to shift to the special mode after a standby state in which the special figure variation display game is executed a predetermined number of times.

[Special figure 1 big hit end processing]
In the gaming machine of the present modification, the special figure 1 big hit end process shown in FIG. 40 is performed in place of the special figure 1 big hit end process shown in FIG. In this special view 1 big hit end processing, when there is ST flag (step A121; Y), save the signal regarding the start of high probability in the external information output data area (step A128), test the signal regarding the start of high probability Save to the signal output data area (step A129). Then, the ST standby flag is set (step A341), and the number in the standby state is saved in the gaming state display number area (step A342). If there is no ST flag (step A121; N), the game state display number area saves the number in the standby state (step A342).

  After performing processing (step A342) for saving the number in the standby state in the gaming state display number area, the general drawing low probability & general support no flag is stored in the regular drawing game mode flag area (step A343). Then, the standby state flag is saved in the special view game mode flag area (step A344), and the probability information command (standby state) is saved in the power failure recovery transmission command area (step A345). The initial value (30 in this case) is saved (step A346). Thereafter, the processing of steps A135 to A141 is performed, and the special figure 1 big hit end processing is ended.

[Special figure 2 big hit end processing]
Also, in place of the special figure 2 big hit end process shown in FIG. 27, special figure 2 big hit end process shown in FIG. 41 is performed. In the special figure 2 big hit end processing, first, the signal regarding the start of the high probability is saved in the external information output data area (step A301), and the signal regarding the start of the high probability is saved in the test signal output data area (step A302) . Then, the number in the standby state is saved in the gaming state display number area (step A 351), and the general drawing low probability & general support no flag is stored in the general drawing game mode flag area (step A 352).

  Then, the standby state flag is saved in the special view game mode flag area (step A353), and the probability information command (standby state) is saved in the power failure recovery transmission command area (step A354). The initial value (in this case, 30) is saved (step A355). Thereafter, the ST standby flag is set (step A356), and the processes of steps A308 to A313 are performed, and the special figure 2 big hit end process is ended.

  With this special view 1 big hit end process and the special figure 2 big hit end process, the standby state is set as the game state after the end of the special game state. In the standby state, the normal probability state or the high probability state is set according to the type of the special result as the state of the probability of becoming a big hit in the special view fluctuation display game, and the operation mode of the normal fluctuation display game and the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 The first operation state is set, and the normal mode for selecting the fluctuation pattern using the normal fluctuation pattern table is set when selecting the fluctuation pattern which is an execution aspect of the special figure fluctuation display game.

[Variation count update process]
Also, instead of the fluctuation number updating process shown in FIG. 19, the fluctuation number updating process shown in FIG. 42 is performed. In the fluctuation number updating process, the waiting number updating process (step A361) is performed.

[Wait count update process]
As shown in FIG. 43, in the number-of-waitings updating process, first, it is determined whether or not in the waiting state (step A371). If not in the standby state (step A371; N), the standby number update process is ended. When in the standby state (step A371; Y), the number of standby modes is updated by -1 (step A372), and it is determined whether the number of standby modes is 0 (step A373). The number of standby modes is set to an initial value (30 in this case) in accordance with the number of executions of the special view variable display game to be in the standby state at the end of the special game state as described above.

  If the number of times of standby mode is not 0 (step A373; N), that is, if the standby state continues in the next special figure fluctuation display game, the process of updating the number of standby times is ended. If the number of standby modes is 0 (step A373; Y), that is, if the standby state ends in the current special-image variation display game, it is determined whether there is an ST standby flag (step A374).

  If there is no ST standby flag, the signal regarding the start of the second operation state is saved in the external information output data area (step A375), and the signal regarding the start of the second operation state is saved in the test signal output data area (step A376) ). Next, the special state number is saved in the gaming state display number area (step A377), and the common drawing high probability & common electric support flag is saved in the common drawing game mode flag area (step A378). Then, save the special status flag in the special view game mode flag area (step A379), save the probability information command (special status) in the power failure recovery transmission command area (step A380), and save the special mode count area. The initial value (in this case, 20) is saved (step A 385). As a result, the standby state is ended and the special state is started.

  On the other hand, if there is an ST standby flag (step A 374; Y), the number at ST state is saved in the gaming state display number area (step A 381), and the common drawing high probability & common charge support in the common drawing game mode flag area. Save the flag (step A 382). Then, the ST status flag is saved in the special view game mode flag area (step A383), and the probability information command (ST status) is saved in the power failure recovery transmission command area (step A384). The initial value (300 here) is saved (step A 385). Thereby, the standby state is ended and the ST state is started.

  Thereafter, a probability information command corresponding to the special view game mode flag and the special view effect mode flag is prepared (step A 386), command setting processing (step A 387) is performed, and the waiting number updating processing is ended. That is, the game control device 100 functions as counting means for counting the number of times of execution of the variable display game.

  FIG. 44 shows an example of the effect in the standby state when the transition to the ST state is determined. As shown in FIG. 44 (a), in the final round in the special game state, when executing the special figure variation display game 30 times after the end of the special game state, notification that the state shifts to the ST state (small hit Rush) Is done. In the special view variable display game in the standby state, the number of games until the end of the standby state is displayed.

  FIG. 44 (b) shows the 21st special figure change display game from the end of the special game state, and when the special view change display game including the current special view change display game is executed 10 more special view change display games, the state becomes ST state. It is reported that it will shift. Further, FIG. 44 (c) shows the 30th special figure change display game from the end of the special game state, and it is one more time including the current special view change display game, ie, the next special figure change display game. It has been notified that it will shift to the ST state. At the end of the special view variation display game, as shown in FIG. 44 (d), notification that the standby state ends and transition to the ST state is given, and at the start of the next special view variation display game, FIG. As shown in (e), notification that the ST state has been started is performed. By providing the standby state as described above, it is possible to make the change in the gaming state colorful and to make the gaming machine hard to get bored and highly entertaining.

  In addition, the aspect of alerting | reporting is not restricted to this, For example, in the state of Fig.44 (a)-(d), you may make it alert | report only the purport that it will be in a standby state and the remaining frequency of standby states. In the first special view variable display game, since the ST state may be set and the special state may be set, it is not notified which state is set until the end of the standby state. Interest in waiting can be improved.

  Also, in this case, a precursor effect that is continuous production is performed over a part or all of the periods in the standby state, suggesting that it will be in the ST state or in a special state, or the final result of the presentation Whether or not to become ST state may be notified by this. Further, since the ST state is set with a probability of 100% for the second special view variable display game, the standby state may not be set. In addition, also in the second special view variable display game, the indication effect may be performed in the standby state such that either the ST state or the special state is set with a predetermined probability.

  Also, different fluctuation pattern tables are used in the standby state when the ST state is set and the standby state when the special state is set, and after the standby state is set based on the difference in fluctuation time and reach selection rate It may be suggested that the In addition, in the fluctuation pattern table used during these standby states, even if a game is played aiming at the second start winning opening 80, the expected value of the fluctuation time is such that the player's ball does not increase or decrease or slightly increases. You may do so.

  Also, when the special result is derived again in the standby state, in the standby state after the end of the special gaming state based on the special result, even if the precursor effect in the previous standby state is taken over good. When the special result is derived again during the standby state, the standby state may not be set, or the state may be shifted to the ST state regardless of the type of the special result. In addition, when a special result is derived in the first special view variable display game during the ST state, the standby state may not be set.

  In the special state, the normal mode may be set without setting the special mode, or the special state may be changed to the normal gaming state. In this way, it can be said whether or not to shift to the ST state whether or not to shift to the special mode. In addition, the standby state is set triggered by the derivation of the special result, and then transition is made to the ST state or the special state. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The standby state is started when the condition is met and the standby state is concerned The special mode may be set after that, for example, the standby state may be started based on the occurrence of a specific reach state or the winning of the lottery for starting the standby state.

  Also, the probability state that the special result is derived in the special figure variation display game is changed at the end of the special game state, but the normal probability state is set in the standby state and the latest state is also displayed at the end of the standby state. It may be changed according to the type of special result of. In addition, when the standby state ends, the probability that the special result is derived or the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning apparatus 37 may be changed only from the normal mode to the special mode without changing. In this case, the number of times of waiting is set to a sufficiently large value such as 1000 and 1500, for example, and the winning percentage to the normal variation winning device 37 continuously executes the special figure variation display game without being set to the second operation state. If it is made possible prize rate, it can be said that it is relief in the case of the so-called slam condition where a special result is not derived over a long period of time. That is, the same function as the ceiling in the slot machine can be provided.

  From the above, in the gaming machine capable of executing the variable display game in which the identification information is changed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, second starting winning opening 80), the variation time in the variation display game The variation pattern table storage means (the game control apparatus 100) storing a plurality of variation pattern tables for determining a game, and one variation pattern table among the plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the variation pattern table storage means The variation pattern table acquiring means (game control apparatus 100) for determining the pattern, and the counting means (game control apparatus 100) for counting the number of times of execution of the variation display game are provided. It is shorter than the fluctuation pattern selected in the fluctuation pattern table and the normal fluctuation pattern table The variation pattern table acquiring means is provided with at least a special variation pattern table having a high selection ratio of variation patterns of variation time, and the variation pattern table acquiring means usually changes when the counting result by the counting means becomes the waiting number which is a predetermined value. It will be made to switch from a pattern table to a special fluctuation pattern table, and acquire a fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, when it is the special result where high probability state is set, it is decided that ST flag is set and it moves to ST state, but ST flag should be set even if it is the special result which sets high probability state There is a case where it does not shift to ST state without. That is, the case where the high probability state and the special mode are set and the case where the high probability state and the normal mode are set are provided, and the transition to either state is selected according to the type of the special result. When the high probability state and the special mode are set, the mode may shift to the special mode after the standby state. In this way, it is possible to have an interest as to whether or not to shift to the special mode after the end of the standby state, and it is possible to make the gaming state more versatile and improve the interest of the game. it can.

  That is, it has counting means (game control apparatus 100) for counting the number of times of execution of the variation display game, and the counting means counts the number of times of execution of the variation display game from the end of the special gaming state, When a predetermined specific result of switching from the normal fluctuation pattern table to the special fluctuation pattern table and acquiring the fluctuation pattern is selected, the control device 100 counts after the end of the special game state based on the predetermined identification result. The variation pattern may be acquired by switching from the normal variation pattern table to the special variation pattern table based on the count result of the means becoming a predetermined value. Here, the specific result includes, in addition to the jackpot result (special result) with the operation of the condition device, the result of the small hit without the operation of the condition device.

Fourth Modified Example
Next, a fourth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described third modification, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to parts having the same configuration, and the description thereof is omitted, mainly different. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the length of the standby state is determined by lottery.

[Special figure 1 big hit end processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in place of the special figure 1 big hit end process shown in FIG. 40, the special figure 1 big hit end process shown in FIG. 45 is performed. In the special view 1 big hit end process, the number-of-waits determination process (step A391) is performed.

[Special figure 2 big hit end processing]
Also, in place of the special figure 2 big hit end process shown in FIG. 41, the special figure 2 big hit end process shown in FIG. 46 is performed. Also in this special view 2 big hit end processing, the number of times of waiting determination processing (step A401) is performed.

[Waiting frequency determination processing]
FIG. 47 shows the number-of-waitings determination process (steps A391, A401). In this standby number determination process, first, the standby number random number is acquired (step A411), and the acquired standby number random number is referred to the standby number setting table to acquire the standby number (step A412). Then, a standby number command corresponding to the standby number is prepared (step A413), command setting processing is performed (step A414), and the standby number determination processing is ended. The standby number command is transmitted to the effect control device 300, and based on this command, the effect control device 300 performs control to notify the remaining number of times in the standby state at a predetermined timing.

  FIG. 48 shows the contents of the standby number setting table. As the number of times of waiting, 30, 50, 100, 200 or 300 can be selected. The selected number of waits is set as the number of standby modes in the process of saving the initial value of the number of standby modes in the standby mode number area in the special figure 1 big hit end process or the special figure 2 big hit end process (steps A346 and A355) Ru. That is, the game control device 100 functions as a transition trigger selection means for selecting the number of times of waiting based on the predetermined result being derived as the execution result of the variable display game.

  Further, the notification timing of the remaining number of times in the standby state is made to differ depending on the number of times of standby. When the number of times of waiting is 30 or 50, the remaining number of times is notified at the start of the standby state or before the start, for example, at the end of the special gaming state, as shown in FIG. 49 (a). Notification is performed in the final round in the state.

  Further, when the number of times of waiting is 100, the remaining number of times of waiting is notified on the basis of the predetermined number of revolutions before the end of the waiting state. For example, 90th from the end of the special gaming state The remaining number of times is not notified until the special figure changing display game of, and when the 91st special figure changing display game is started, the remaining number of times is notified as shown in FIG. 49 (b).

  Further, when the number of times of waiting is 200 or 300, the notification of the remaining number of times is not performed, and the end of the waiting state can be recognized by the start of the ST state or the special state when the waiting state is ended. . Note that if the number of waits is 200 or 300, an effect that indicates that the wait state may end before several games that become the 100th or 200th game that may cause the wait state to end You may do it.

  Control of notification of the remaining number of times in the standby state is performed by the effect control device 300. The effect control device 300 determines the mode of notification based on the standby number command, and performs notification at the notification timing according to the standby number. When notification is not performed at the start of the standby state or before the start, the number of times the special view variation display game is executed from the start of the standby state is counted, or the game control device 100 transmits the counting result to the effect control device 300 The effect control device 300 starts notification on the basis of the predetermined number of games. That is, the effect control device 300 functions as a transition trigger notification means capable of informing of the number of standby times selected by the transition trigger selection means.

  By changing the number of times of waiting in this manner, it is possible to change the waiting state, and it is possible to make the gaming machine hard to get bored and highly entertaining. In addition, by making the notification timing different depending on the number of times of standby, if the number of times of standby is small, by giving an information at an early stage, it is possible to give motivation to continue the game until the end of the standby state. It is possible not to lose the motivation to continue the game by not giving an alert at an early stage.

  From the above, based on the predetermined result being derived as the execution result of the variable display game, the transition trigger selection means (game control device 100) for selecting the number of times of waiting is provided, and the counting means (game control device 100) The counting will be started based on the derivation of the result. In the above-described example, the counting is started based on the derivation of the specific result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the counting may be performed based on the derivation of the predetermined result including the outlier.

  In addition, it has transition trigger notification means (effect control device 300) capable of notifying the number of waiting times selected by the transition trigger selection means (game control device 100), and the transition trigger notification means is the standby selected by the transition trigger selection means If the number of times is less than the predetermined number, notification will be performed after the derivation of the predetermined result (result that triggers the start of counting) until the variable display game is started.

  In addition, it has transition trigger notification means (effect control device 300) capable of notifying the number of waiting times selected by the transition trigger selection means (game control device 100), and the transition trigger notification means is the standby selected by the transition trigger selection means When the number of times is equal to or more than the predetermined number, notification is not performed until the counting result by the counting means (game control device 100) becomes the predetermined number of times of the waiting number.

  In the standby state, the number of times of standby may be reset based on the satisfaction of a predetermined condition. The establishment of a predetermined condition means, for example, the occurrence of a reach or a specific reach, that a predetermined lottery has been won, that a small hit has been derived, a mission effect which imposes a fixed condition for a fixed period, performs a fixed condition The mission is to be accomplished. By doing this, the period of the standby state can be shortened or extended, and the interest of the game can be improved. That is, the game control device 100 may be provided with resetting means (game control apparatus 100) for resetting the number of times of waiting in the standby state.

Fifth Modification
Next, a fifth modified example of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described third modification, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to parts having the same configuration, and the description thereof is omitted, mainly different. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, a mission effect is imposed which imposes a predetermined condition in the standby state, and the special mode is set by achieving the mission by satisfying the predetermined condition.

  FIG. 50 shows an example of the mission effect in the standby state. As shown in FIG. 50 (a), in the final round in the special game state, it is informed that the ST state (small hit Rush) will be established if the mission is achieved, ie, the predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition here is that the reach state does not occur while the special game variable display game being in the standby state is performed 30 times after the end of the special game state.

  As shown in FIG. 50 (b), in the special view variable display game in the standby state, the number of games until the end of the standby state is displayed, and the content of the imposed mission is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 50 (c), when the reach state occurs in the standby state and the mission can not be achieved, as shown in FIGS. 50 (c) and 50 (d), the mission can not be achieved. The message will be displayed. At this point, the standby state is ended, and the normal game state is entered from the next special view variable display game.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 50 (e), when the mission is achieved without the reach state occurring until the final game in the standby state, as shown in FIG. 50 (f), the next special figure fluctuation display game is ST state (Special mode) is to be started.

[Special figure 1 big hit end processing, special figure 2 big hit end processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in the special view 1 big hit process shown in FIG. 40 and the special figure 2 big hit end process shown in FIG. 41, the process of setting the ST standby flag (steps A341 and A356) is not performed.

[Wait count update process]
Further, in place of the waiting number updating process shown in FIG. 43, the waiting number updating process shown in FIG. 51 is performed. In this standby number updating process, if the standby state is in progress (step A371), the number of standby modes is updated by 1 (step A372), and it is determined whether the number of standby modes is 0 (step A373).

  If the number of times of standby mode is 0 (step A373; Y), processing (steps A381 to A385) regarding setting of the ST state is performed. Thereby, the standby state is ended and the ST state is started. In this case, the predetermined condition imposed in the standby state is satisfied. Thereafter, a probability information command corresponding to the special view game mode flag and the special view effect mode flag is prepared (step A 386), command setting processing (step A 387) is performed, and the waiting number updating processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if the number of times of standby mode is not 0 (step A373; N), it is determined whether or not the mission non-achievement is determined (step A451). Here, since the predetermined condition imposed in the standby state as the mission effect is that the reach state is not generated, the non-achievement of the mission is determined when the reach state is generated. As described above, when mission non-achievement is determined (step A 451; Y), a probability information command (normal) at the end of the standby mode is prepared (step A 452), and command setting processing is performed (step A 453).

  Then, save the number during the normal gaming state in the gaming state display number area (step A454), save the normal gaming state flag in the special view game mode flag area (step A455), and make a probability in the power failure recovery transmission command area. The information command (normal) is saved (step A456). Thus, the standby state is ended and the normal gaming state is started. Thereafter, a probability information command corresponding to the special view game mode flag and the special view effect mode flag is prepared (step A 386), command setting processing (step A 387) is performed, and the waiting number updating processing is ended. In addition, when the mission non-achievement is not determined (step A451; N), that is, when the standby state continues in the next special figure fluctuation display game, the standby number updating process is ended.

  That is, the game control apparatus 100 sets a predetermined period, and serves as mission execution means capable of executing a mission mode which determines whether the predetermined condition is satisfied within the predetermined period. Then, since it is determined that the mission execution means satisfies the predetermined condition, the variation time of the variation display game changes, so it is possible to make the gaming machine hard to get bored and highly entertaining.

  FIG. 52 shows an example of the mission effect on which another predetermined condition is imposed. As shown in FIG. 52 (a), in the final round in the special game state, it is informed that the ST state (small hit Rush) will be established if the mission is achieved, ie, the predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition here is that the reach state is generated twice while the 50 special figure variation display games which are in the standby state are executed after the end of the special game state.

  When the standby state is started as shown in FIG. 52 (b), the number of games until the end of the standby state is displayed. This display is continued until the end of the standby state. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 52 (c), in the standby state, the contents of the imposed mission and the number of achievements are displayed. Here, the number of achievements is 0 for two conditions, which is a condition. It is shown that there is.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 52 (d), when the reach state occurs, the "reach occurrence" is clearly notified and the number of achievements is incremented by one. Also, as shown in FIG. 52 (e), when the special view variation display game in which the reach state occurs is ended and the next special view variation display game is started, the mission is achieved as shown in FIG. 52 (f). The remaining number of times until is notified.

  After that, when there is a possibility that the second reach to achieve the mission will occur, as shown in FIG. 52 (g), a display of "reach will be generated ??" is made. As shown in FIG. 52 (h), when the reach state occurs, the "reach occurrence" is clearly notified and one achievement frequency is added. As a result, the mission is achieved, and at the end of the special-pattern variation display game, as shown in FIG. 52 (i), notification that the mission has been achieved is given. Then, as shown in FIG. 52 (j), the ST state (special mode) is started from the next special figure fluctuation display game.

  On the other hand, when the reach state did not occur from the state of FIG. 52 (g) and the reach state did not occur in the final game in the standby state, the mission could not be achieved as shown in FIG. 52 (k) "Zanzen" is displayed to indicate that. Further, as shown in FIG. 52 (l), when the special figure variation display game is over, it is displayed that the mission has not been achieved, and from the next special figure variation display game, it becomes the normal gaming state.

[Wait count update process]
In this case, in place of the waiting number updating process shown in FIG. 51, the waiting number updating process shown in FIG. 53 is performed. In this number-of-waitings updating process, it is determined whether the mission has been achieved after updating the number of waiting modes by -1 (step A 457). When the mission has been achieved (step A 457; Y), processing for setting the ST state is performed. .

  If the mission has not been achieved (step A 457; N), it is determined whether the number of standby modes is 0 (step A 373). Then, if the number of standby modes is not 0 (step A373; N), the process of updating the number of standbys is ended. If the number of standby modes is 0 (step A373; Y), processing is performed to set the normal gaming state.

  From the above, the variable display game is executed to change the identification information based on the winning of the game ball to the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 80), and the execution result of the variable display game is the specific result A variation pattern table for determining a variation time in a variation display game, which is a gaming machine that opens the special variation winning device (the first special variation winning device 38, the second special variation winning device 39) based on Variation pattern table storage means (game control apparatus 100) storing a plurality of game patterns, and one variation pattern table among a plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the variation pattern table storage means, and obtaining a variation pattern table for determining a variation pattern Means (game control apparatus 100) and a predetermined period are set, and it is determined whether a predetermined condition is satisfied within the predetermined period. Of the plurality of variation pattern tables are shorter than the variation patterns selected in the normal variation pattern table and the normal variation pattern table which are usually used. The variation pattern table acquisition means comprises at least a special variation pattern table having a high selection ratio of variation patterns of time, and the variation pattern table acquisition means determines that the mission execution means has satisfied the predetermined condition as a trigger from the normal variation pattern table To obtain the fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, the predetermined condition which is a mission may be anything that can be achieved along with the progress of the game, and the reach state may or may not occur, the reach state may occur a predetermined number of times, and the predetermined reach state may occur. In addition, winning a predetermined number of gaming balls to the start winning opening 36 may be mentioned. The predetermined condition may be a constant condition or may be selected before the start of the standby state.

  Also, the mission effect may be executed other than the standby state after the end of the special game state. For example, the mission effect is started based on having won the lottery whether or not to execute the mission effect while the normal mode is set. At this time, a predetermined condition to be a mission, the number of times of execution of a mission effect, and the like are also determined. The special mode may be set when the mission is achieved in this mission effect.

  In this case, in the gaming machine provided with the gaming state in which the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is the second operation state and the normal mode is set, the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 is the first operation. The mission effect may be started only in the state. In this way, it is possible to prevent switching to the special mode when the second operation state is already advantageous to the player, and it is not too advantageous for the player. You can do so.

  That is, the starting opening is the first movement of the normal fluctuation winning device 37 which can change the state to the closed state where the game ball can not win or difficult and the open state where the game ball can win. Mission operation means (game control device 100) for setting any one of the second operation state in which the time for which the open state per unit time is longer than the first operation state is longer than the first operation state; The game control apparatus 100 may not execute the mission mode when the second operation state is set by the operation state control means.

Sixth Modification
Next, a sixth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. The gaming machine of this modification differs in the ending condition of the special mode (for example, the ST state).

[Special figure 1 big hit end processing, special figure 2 big hit end processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, the special figure 1 big hit process shown in FIG. 54 and the special figure shown in FIG. 55 are substituted for the special figure 1 big hit process shown in FIG. 20 and the special figure 2 big hit end process shown in FIG. 2 Perform a big hit end process. In these processes, end condition setting processing (steps A461 and A462) for setting the end condition of the special mode is performed instead of the processing (steps A134 and A307) for saving the special mode number initial value in the standby mode number area.

[End trigger setting process]
As shown in FIG. 56, in the end condition setting process, first, an end trigger random number 1 is acquired (step A 471), and an end trigger is selected based on the end trigger random number 1 (step A 472). Further, the detailed condition in the selected termination trigger is selected based on the termination trigger random numbers 2 and 3 (step A 473), the selected condition is set (step A 474), and the termination trigger setting processing is ended.

  In the process of selecting an end trigger based on the end trigger random number 1 (step A 472), the end trigger random number 1 is referred to the end trigger setting table shown in FIG. 57A and the end trigger is selected. As the selectable end trigger, “rotation number” which is an end trigger to end the special mode when the number of times of execution of the special figure fluctuation display game reaches a predetermined number, and based on the predetermined reach state occurring a predetermined number of times The "predetermined condition" which is an end opportunity to end the special mode, the "predetermined opportunity" which is an end opportunity to end the special mode based on the occurrence of a small hit or a big hit, the special mode is ended when a predetermined time elapses There is a "time" which is an end opportunity, and one is selected based on the end opportunity random number 1. For example, when the value of the termination trigger random number 1 is 5001 to 8000, the "predetermined condition" which is the termination trigger for terminating the special mode based on the occurrence of the predetermined reach state a predetermined number of times is selected as the termination trigger. .

  Further, in the processing (step A 473) for selecting the detailed condition in the selected termination trigger based on the termination trigger random numbers 2 and 3, the termination trigger random numbers 2 and 3 are shown in FIG. 57 (b) to (d) and FIG. Refer to the table and select detailed conditions. When the number of rotations is selected as an end trigger, the number of times of execution of the special figure variation display game for executing the special mode is selected with reference to the end trigger random number 2 in the table shown in FIG. 57 (b). For example, when the value of the end trigger random number 2 is 2001 to 6000, 50 is selected as the number of times of execution of the special figure fluctuation display game for executing the special mode.

  Further, when a predetermined condition is selected as an end trigger, the type of reach state that triggers the end of the special mode is selected with reference to the end trigger random number 2 in the table shown in FIG. Referring to the end trigger random number 3 in the table shown in 57 (d), it is selected how many times the reach state occurs to end the special mode. For example, when the value of the end trigger random number 2 is 1 to 5000 and the value of the end trigger random number 3 is 5001 to 8000, the reach state occurs twice regardless of the reach state type. It is selected to exit the special mode on the basis of this. In addition, when the value of the termination trigger random number 2 is 5001 to 8000 and the value of the termination trigger random number 3 is 8001 to 9500, the special mode is ended based on the occurrence of SP reach 1 three times. Is selected.

  Also. When a predetermined trigger is selected as the end trigger, the trigger shown in FIG. 58 (a) is referred to end trigger random number 2 to select the trigger for ending the special mode, and the table shown in FIG. 58 (b) is selected. With reference to the end trigger random number 3, the probability that the special mode is not ended when the trigger is generated is selected. For example, if the value of the end trigger random number 2 is 1 to 8000 and the value of the end trigger random number 3 is 4001 to 8000, the special mode continues with a probability of 30% when a small hit occurs ( It is selected that the special mode ends with a probability of 70%.

  When the value of the end trigger random number 2 is 8001 to 10000, it is selected that the special mode is ended when a big hit occurs. In this case, since the end trigger is selected again after the end of the special game state, the selection of the continuation probability by the end trigger random number 3 is not performed. However, the selection of the continuation probability may be performed even when the big hit is selected as the end trigger, and in this case, the selection of the end trigger accompanying the end of the special gaming state is not performed. Note that the reselection of the continuity probability may be performed.

  Further, when time is selected as the termination trigger, the timing shown in FIG. 58C is referred to the termination trigger random number 2 to select the time for executing the special mode. For example, when the value of the end trigger random number 2 is 2001 to 6000, it is selected to end the special mode based on the lapse of 180 seconds from the start of the special mode.

  FIG. 59 shows an example of notification of the termination condition of the special mode set as described above. As shown in FIG. 59 (a), the special gaming state is started, and as shown in FIG. 59 (b), in the final round in the special gaming state, it is informed that the ST state (small hit Rush) will be after the special gaming state is over. Be done.

  Then, notification of the condition set at the start of the special mode is performed. When the number of rotations is selected as the end condition, the number of games that can be executed in the special mode is notified as shown in FIG. 59 (c). It is informed that execution has been selected. When a predetermined condition is selected as the termination condition, as shown in FIG. 59 (d), the type and the number of times of reach serving as the termination condition are notified, and in this case, SP reach 1 is performed once. It is informed that it has been selected to occur (it is displayed as it is only once).

  Further, when time is selected as the ending condition, as shown in FIG. 59 (e), the time that can be executed in the special mode is notified, and in this case, the lapse of 300 seconds is selected. Is reported. Further, when a predetermined trigger is selected as the end condition, the end trigger is notified as shown in FIG. 59 (f), and it is notified that the occurrence of the big hit is selected here. There is. In addition, when a small hit is selected as an end opportunity, it is alerted | reported also about a continuation probability.

[Variation count update process]
Also, instead of the fluctuation number updating process shown in FIG. 19, the fluctuation number updating process shown in FIG. 60 is performed. In this variation number updating process, the end condition satisfaction determination process (step A 481) is performed instead of the process of updating the special mode number by 1 (step A 102). Also, instead of determining whether the number of special modes has become 0 (step A103), it is determined whether an end condition is satisfied (step A482).

  In the termination condition satisfaction determination processing (step A 481) and the determination whether the termination condition is met (step A 482), the determination processing according to the set termination condition is performed. For example, when the number of rotations is selected as the termination condition, the initial value of the number of times of selection is set in the special mode number of times area as in the first embodiment, and this is updated by -1. A process (steps A104 to A111) is performed to end the special mode on the assumption that the end condition is satisfied when it becomes 0.

  When a predetermined condition is selected as the termination condition, the occurrence and the number of occurrences of the target reach condition are monitored, and the special mode is terminated as the termination condition is satisfied when the reach condition is generated the number of times set. The process (steps A104 to A111) is performed. Also, when a predetermined trigger is selected as the end condition and a small hit is selected, the occurrence of a small hit is monitored, and a continuous lottery is performed with a continuity probability set when a small hit occurs. If the continuation lottery is won, the change count updating process is ended on the assumption that the termination condition is not satisfied, and if the continuation lottery is not won, the special mode is ended on the assumption that the termination condition is satisfied (steps A104 to A111) )I do.

  When time is selected as the end condition, an initial value corresponding to the selected time is set in the special mode timer area, and this is updated by -1 every timer interrupt to 0 When it becomes, the process (steps A104 to A111) of ending the special mode is performed on the assumption that the ending condition is satisfied.

  When a predetermined trigger is selected as the end trigger, the same end trigger may be set until the end of the special mode is selected. That is, even when the special result is derived, the end trigger may not be reselected. For example, when the special mode is set to continue at 30% of the occurrence of the small hit as an end trigger, the end trigger remains set until the end of the special mode is selected. Also, even when a big hit is selected as an end trigger, the selection of the continuity probability is performed based on the table shown in FIG. 58 (b) and the end trigger random number 3, and the special mode continues after the end of the next special game state. The probability may be set, and the reselection of the termination trigger may not be performed even when the special result is derived. In addition, even when another end trigger is selected, the same condition may be reset without performing reselection when deriving a special result.

  From the above, the variation pattern table acquisition means (game control apparatus 100) is configured to switch from the special variation pattern table to the normal variation pattern table upon acquisition of the termination condition and acquire the variation pattern, and the termination condition is An end condition selecting unit (game control apparatus 100) to be selected is provided.

Seventh Modified Example
Next, a seventh modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described sixth modification, and hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to parts having the same configuration, and the description thereof is omitted, mainly different I will explain the part. The gaming machine of this modification can change the ending condition of the special mode.

[Variation count update process]
In the gaming machine of this modification, the variation count updating process shown in FIG. 61 is performed instead of the variation count updating process shown in FIG. In the variation number update process, an end condition change process (step A491) is performed.

[End condition change processing]
As shown in FIG. 62, in the end condition change process, first, it is determined whether an extension effect for changing the end condition is already being executed (step A511). When the extension effect is being executed (step A511; Y), the process proceeds to an extension condition satisfaction determination process (step A518). When the extension effect is not being executed (step A511; N), the extension random number 1 is acquired (step A512), and it is determined whether the extension effect is to be executed based on the acquired extension random number 1 (step A513).

  If the extension effect is not to be executed (step A513; N), the end condition changing process is ended. When the extension effect is executed (step A513; Y), the extension random numbers 2 to 4 are obtained (step A514), and the period of the extension effect is set based on the extension random number 2 (step A515). The extension condition is set based on the setting (step A516). Further, the extension period when the condition is established is set based on the extension random number 4 (step A517), and the extension condition satisfaction determination process (step A518) is performed.

  In the extension condition satisfaction determination process (step A518), it is determined whether the extension condition set in step A516 is met, and when the extension condition is met (step A519; Y), the end period is extended according to the setting in step A517. Then (step A520), the end condition change process is ended. If the extension condition is not satisfied (step A519; N), the extension effect period management process for managing the extension effect period set in step A515 is performed (step A521), and the extension effect period has ended. It is determined (step A522).

  If the extension effect period has not ended (step A 522; N), the end condition change processing is ended. When the extension effect period is over, the extension effect is over (step A523), and the termination condition change process is over.

  FIG. 63 shows the contents of various tables used in the end condition change processing. The table shown in FIG. 63 is a table used when the period to be the special mode is set by the number of rotations in the termination trigger setting process shown in FIG.

  In the determination of whether to execute the extension effect (step A513), it is determined whether the extension effect is to be performed with reference to the extension random number 1 in the extension condition setting table 1A shown in FIG. 63 (a). Also, in the process of setting the extension effect period (step A515), the extension random number 2 is referred to the extension condition setting table 2 shown in FIG. For example, in the case where the value of the extension random number 2 is 2001 to 5000, a period in which 20 special figure variation display games are executed is set as the period of the extension effect.

  Further, in the process of setting the extension condition (step A516), the condition for extending the end period is set by referring to the extension random number 3 in the extension condition setting table 3 shown in FIG. 63 (c). For example, when the value of the extension random number 3 is 2001 to 5000, extension of the end period is performed when the SP reach 1 occurs in the extension effect. Further, in the process of setting the extension period when the condition is satisfied (step A517), the extension random number 4 is referred to the extension condition setting table 4 shown in FIG. For example, in the case where the value of the extension random number 4 is 5001 to 8000, it is set that the period of the special mode is extended by an amount corresponding to 30 times of executing the special figure variation display game.

  FIG. 64 shows an example of the extension effect. In this example, the period for which the special mode is set is the period for executing the special figure variation display game 300 times, and as shown in FIG. 64 (a), this is notified at the start of the special mode. In the game in which the game proceeds in the special mode and the execution of the extension effect is determined, as shown in FIG. 64 (b), it is informed that the extension effect (mission effect) is started, and in FIG. 64 (c) As shown, a period of extension effect (here, 30 games) and an extension condition (in this case, the occurrence of a reach state) are notified.

  Then, at the start of the next game, as shown in FIG. 64 (d), notification that extension effect (mission effect) is started is performed. During the extension effect, as shown in FIG. 64 (e), the remaining period of the extension effect is notified. In addition, when there is a possibility that the extension condition is established, the notification to that effect is performed, and in this case, it is notified as "reach reach ??". Then, when the extension condition is established as shown in FIG. 64 (f), the effect (in this case, “reach is generated”) is notified, and the extension condition as shown in FIG. 64 (g) when the special figure variation display game is over. And an extension period (in this case, 20 extensions) are reported. Further, in the display for notifying the period which can be performed in the special mode, the display is performed in which the extension period is added.

  Even if the extension condition is achieved, the extension effect is continued if the period of the extension effect has not ended, and in the next game, as shown in FIG. 64 (h), that effect is notified. In FIG. 64 (g), the remaining period of the special mode is 141 games, and 20 games are added to this, and at this point the remaining period of the special mode is 161 games, but the remaining period with the end of this game Is updated by -1, and the remaining period is 160 games in FIG. 64 (h).

  FIG. 65 also shows the contents of various tables used in the end condition change processing. The table shown in FIG. 65 is a table used when the period to be the special mode is set by time in the termination trigger setting process shown in FIG.

  In the determination of whether to execute the extension effect (step A513), it is determined whether the extension effect is to be performed with reference to the extension random number 1 in the extension condition setting table 1A shown in FIG. Also, in the process of setting the extension effect period (step A515), the extension random number 2 is referred to the extension condition setting table 2 shown in FIG. For example, when the value of the extension random number 2 is 2001 to 5000, a period of 60 seconds is set as the period of the extension effect.

  Further, in the process of setting the extension condition (step A516), the condition for extending the end period is set by referring to the extension random number 3 in the extension condition setting table 3 shown in FIG. 65 (c). For example, when the value of the extension random number 3 is 2001 to 5000, extension of the end period is performed when the SP reach 1 occurs in the extension effect. Further, in the process of setting the extension period when the condition is satisfied (step A517), the extension random number 4 is referred to the extension condition setting table 4 shown in FIG. For example, in the case where the value of the extension random number 4 is 5001 to 8000, it is set that the period to be the special mode is extended by 120 seconds.

  FIG. 66 shows an example of the extension effect. In this example, the period in which the special mode is set is a period of 300 seconds, and as shown in FIG. 66A, this is notified at the start of the special mode. In the game in which the game proceeds in the special mode and the execution of the extension effect is determined, as shown in FIG. 66 (b), it is notified that the extension effect (mission effect) is started, and in FIG. 66 (c) As shown, a period of extension effect (here, 60 seconds) and an extension condition (here, occurrence of reach condition) are notified.

  Then, at the start of the next game, as shown in FIG. 66 (d), notification that extension effect (mission effect) is started is performed. During the extension effect, the remaining period of the extension effect is notified as shown in FIG. 66 (e). In addition, when there is a possibility that the extension condition is established, the notification to that effect is performed, and in this case, it is notified as "reach reach ??". Then, when the extension condition is satisfied as shown in FIG. 66 (f), the effect (in this case, “reach is generated”) is notified, and the extension condition is shown as shown in FIG. And an extension period (here, an extension of 180 seconds) is notified. Further, in the display for notifying the period which can be performed in the special mode, the display is performed in which the extension period is added.

  Even if the extension condition is achieved, the extension effect is continued if the period of the extension effect has not ended, and in the next game, as shown in FIG. 66 (h), that effect is notified. In FIG. 66 (g), the remaining period of the special mode is 122 seconds, 180 seconds is added to this, and at this point the remaining period of the special mode is 302 seconds, but in the state of FIG. 66 (h) Two seconds have passed since the state of FIG. 66 (g), and the remaining period is 300 seconds.

  In addition, although the extension period when the extension condition is satisfied by the extension effect (when the mission is achieved) is set at the start of the extension effect, it may be selected when the extension condition is achieved. Further, the extension period when the extension condition is achieved may be changed by satisfying the separate condition in the extension effect. When the extension condition is selected when the extension condition is achieved, whether or not the separate condition in the extension effect is satisfied may be taken into consideration in the selection of the extension condition.

  From the above, the variation pattern table acquisition means (game control apparatus 100) is configured to switch from the special variation pattern table to the normal variation pattern table upon acquisition of the termination condition and acquire the variation pattern, and the termination condition is An end condition selecting unit (game control apparatus 100) to be selected and an end condition changing unit (game control apparatus 100) capable of changing the selected end condition will be provided.

Eighth Modified Example
Next, an eighth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the above-mentioned gaming machine of the seventh modification, and hereinafter, the parts having the same configuration are attached with the same reference numerals, the description thereof is omitted, and they are mainly different. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the extension mode of the special mode is made to differ depending on the winning timing to the starting opening.

[Special figure starting port switch common processing]
FIG. 67 shows the special view starting opening switch process in the gaming machine of the present modification. This special view starting opening switch common process is a process performed in the starting opening switch monitoring process (step A1) in the special view 1 game process shown in FIG. 15, and the starting opening 1 switch 36a based on winning on the start winning opening 36 This process is commonly performed for each input when there is an input to the start opening 2 switch 80a based on winning to the second start winning opening 80 or to the second start winning opening 80.

  In the special view starting port switch common processing, first, it is determined whether there is an input to the starting port switch to be monitored among the starting port 1 switch 36a and the starting port 2 switch 80a (step A551). Then, when there is no input to the start port switch to be monitored (step A551; N), the special view start port switch common processing is ended. On the other hand, when there is an input to the start port switch to be monitored (step A551; Y), it is determined whether there is latch data in the target random number latch register (step A552).

  If there is no latch data in the target random number latch register (step A552; N), that is, if the random number is not extracted, the special view start port switch common processing ends. If there is latch data in the target random number latch register (step A 552: Y), the start port winning flag of the start port switch to be monitored is saved (step A 553). The extracted jackpot random number is loaded and prepared (step A 554).

  Subsequently, among the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switch 80a, a starting opening signal which is the number of times of outputting information on the number of winnings on the starting opening switch to be monitored to the external management device of the gaming machine 10. The number of outputs is loaded (step A555), the loaded value is updated by +1 (step A556), and it is determined whether the number of outputs overflows (step A557). If the output number does not overflow (step A 557; N), the updated value is saved in the RWM start opening signal output number area (step A 558), and the process proceeds to step A 559. On the other hand, if the number of times of output overflows (step A 557; Y), the process proceeds to step A 559.

  Next, a prize monitoring timer process is performed to measure the timing of winning (step A559), and the special drawing of the update target corresponding to the starting opening switch to be monitored among the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switch 80a. It is determined whether the number of reservations (starting memory) is less than the upper limit (step A 560). If the number of special drawing reservations is less than the upper limit (step A 560; Y), the number of special drawing reservations to be updated (the number of special drawing 1 holdings or the special drawing 2 holdings) is updated by 1 (step A 561). A decoration special drawing reservation number command corresponding to the starting opening switch and the special drawing reservation number is prepared (step A562), and command setting processing (step A563) is performed.

  Subsequently, the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the special drawing reservation number corresponding to the start port switch to be monitored is calculated (step A564), and the big hit random number is saved in the big hit random number storage area of RWM (step A565). Next, the jackpot symbol random numbers of the starting opening switch to be monitored are extracted and prepared (step A566), and saved in the jackpot symbol random number storage area of the RWM (step A567). Further, fluctuation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 are extracted and saved in the fluctuation pattern random number storage area of RWM corresponding to each random number (step A568). And, special figure reservation information decision processing (step A569) is done, special figure starting mouth switch common processing ends.

  Here, the game control apparatus 100 (RAM 111C) extracts a predetermined random number based on the inflow of the game balls to the start winning area of the start winning opening 36 and the second start winning opening 80, and executes the variation display game right The present invention is a starting storage means for storing a predetermined number at the upper limit as starting storage. Further, the start storage means (game control device 100) sets various random number values extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening (start winning opening 36) as the first start storage with the predetermined number as the upper limit. It stores and stores various random number values extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening 80 as a second starting memory with a predetermined number as the upper limit.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step A560 that the special figure reserve number is not less than the upper limit (step A560; N), a decoration special figure reserve number command (hold overflow command) is prepared (step A570), and the command setting process (step A570) A571) is performed, and the special view starting opening switch common processing is finished.

[Prize watch timer processing]
FIG. 68 shows a prize winning timer process (step A559). In the prize monitoring timer process, first, a prize monitoring timer value to be monitored is acquired among the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2 switch 80a (step A581), and the target winning observation timer is cleared (step A582) . Then, based on the acquired value of the prize monitoring timer, it is determined whether or not it is within a predetermined time from the previous prize (step A583), and when it is within the predetermined time (step A583; Y), the continuous winning flag is set. (Step A584).

  The prize monitoring timer is a timer for clocking a prize interval, and is updated by +1 every timer interrupt processing. The value is cleared in the processing of step A582 in the winning monitoring timer processing performed by the winning opening to the starting opening, and the value is acquired in the processing of step A581 in the winning monitoring timer processing by the next winning, from the previous winning. You can get time for That is, the game control apparatus 100 functions as a winning timing detection means for detecting the winning timing of the gaming ball to the starting opening, and also serves as a winning interval detection means for detecting a winning interval for the gaming ball to the starting opening.

  It should be noted that clocking is started regardless of whether or not start memory is generated, but clocking is started only when start memory is generated, and the time from the previous generation of start memory is clocked. You may do so. In this case, the winning a prize watch timer process (step A559) is performed only when the number of special drawing reservations is less than the upper limit (step A560; Y).

[End condition change processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in place of the end condition changing process shown in FIG. 62, the end condition changing process shown in FIG. 69 is performed. In this end condition change process, when the extension effect is not being executed (step A511; N), it is determined whether there is a continuous winning flag (step A600). If there is no continuous winning flag (step A600; N), the extension condition setting table 1A is acquired (step A601), and the continuous winning flag is cleared (step A603). The extension condition setting table 1A is a table used in the seventh modified example (see FIGS. 63A and 65A).

  If there is a continuous winning flag (step A600; Y), the extension condition setting table 1B is acquired (step A602), and the continuous winning flag is cleared (step A603). FIG. 70 shows the extension condition setting table 1B. The extension condition setting table 1B is a table in which the probability of selecting the execution of the extension effect is higher than that of the extension condition setting table 1A shown in FIGS. 63 (a) and 63 (a). That is, in the case of winning continuously at short intervals, a benefit that the probability of executing the extension effect increases is provided.

  As a result, since the timing of winning on the starting opening affects the execution mode of the variable display game, it is possible to make the game difficult to get bored and the interest is improved. In addition, it is possible to have new game characteristics such as changing the execution mode of the variable display game for winning on the starting opening, and to improve the interest of the game.

  Although the opportunity to increase the probability of executing the extension effect is that the winning interval is within the predetermined time, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as it is triggered by the timing of winning. For example, the probability of executing the extension effect may be increased on the condition that the game state at the time of winning is a predetermined gaming state as winning in a predetermined lottery performed based on the winning. In addition, although the probability of executing the extension effect is changed according to the winning timing, various conditions in the extension effect may be changed. That is, also for the extension condition setting tables 2 to 4, tables different in content according to the winning timing may be selected. Further, when the extension condition setting table 1A is selected, the extension effect may not be set, and the extension effect may be set only when the extension condition setting table 1B is selected.

  In addition, although the extension condition setting table 1B is selected in the ending condition changing process executed immediately after the continuous winning flag is set, in the special view variation display game based on the starting memory with the setting of the continuous winning flag The extension condition setting table 1B may be selected. In this case, only when the starting memory is generated, the prize monitoring timer ends the clocking, and the continuous winning flag is stored in association with the starting memory, and the special condition fluctuation under execution is changed in the ending condition changing process. It is determined whether or not there is a continuous winning flag in the starting memory corresponding to the display game. Further, in this case, when the trigger for increasing the probability of executing the extension effect is to satisfy the other condition, whether or not the condition is satisfied is stored in association with the start memory when the start memory is generated. Do.

  From the above, the variable display game is executed to change the identification information based on the winning of the game ball to the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 80), and the execution result of the variable display game is the specific result In the gaming machine which opens the special variation winning device (the first special variation winning device 38, the second special variation winning device 39) based on the fact that it has become a winning timing detection means for detecting the winning timing of the gaming ball to the starting opening (Gaming control apparatus 100), fluctuation pattern table storage means (gaming control apparatus 100) storing a plurality of fluctuation pattern tables for determining fluctuation time in the fluctuation display game, and a plurality of fluctuation pattern table storage means Variation pattern table acquisition means for obtaining one variation pattern table among variation pattern tables and determining a variation pattern Device 100), and the plurality of variation pattern tables includes a normal variation pattern table which is usually used and a special variation in which the selection ratio of variation patterns of variation time shorter than the variation patterns selected in the normal variation pattern table is high The variation pattern table acquisition means extends the period in which the special variation pattern table is used, based on the detection result of the winning timing detection means (game control device 100).

Ninth Modified Example
Next, a ninth modified example of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to the part having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the execution mode of the pre-rendering effect differs according to the winning timing to the starting opening.

  The pre-rendering effect is an effect of suggesting and notifying the result of the prefetching process of determining the result related information corresponding to the start memory prior to the start timing of the special view variation display game based on the corresponding start memory. This prior rendering is performed in the decoration special view start memory display 81, 82 displayed on the display device 41 in conjunction with the display of the special view 1 suspension display and the special view 2 suspension display, as shown in FIG. It is supposed to be.

  The decorative special figure start memory display shown in FIG. 71 is displayed at the lower left of the display section, and is displayed at the lower right of the display section with a first decorative special figure start memory display 81 for displaying information of the first start memory. It is comprised from the 2nd decoration special figure starting memory display 82 which displays the information on the 2nd starting memory. For each of the first and second decorative special figure starting memory displays, four are provided corresponding to the upper limit number of starting memories, and one decorative special figure starting memory display displays information corresponding to one starting memory It is supposed to be. In addition, the decorative special figure starting memory indication which is located in the left end respectively corresponds to the starting memory which is remembered first, it is arranged in order from the left according to execution order of the special figure fluctuation indicatory game.

  The presence or absence of the start storage is indicated by making the display colors of the decoration special view start storage displays 81 and 82 different, and in the example shown in FIG. 71, there are two first start stores and the second start store is zero. It shows. Moreover, prior presentation is performed by making the display color of the decoration special figure starting memory display different from the normal display color. For example, the decorative special figure start memory display is displayed in white when there is no start memory, and the presence of the start memory is notified by setting it to a display color different from this. The normal display color in the case where the starting memory is present is black, and the display colors in the pre-representation include the display colors of blue, green, red, cherry, and rainbow (seven colors) as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 72, each display color is associated with an occurrence expected effect that is an effect to be executed in the special view variable display game based on the start memory determined by the prior determination, and the display color The content of the fluctuation pattern in the special view fluctuation display game based on the starting memory is suggested and notified. In addition, rainbow color is a definite presentation which announces derivation | leading-out of a special result definitely. The occurrence scheduled effects shown in FIG. 72 are in the order of increasing possibility of deriving a special result as it goes down. Corresponding to this, it can be said that the stage will be higher in the order of blue, green, red, cherry blossom, rainbow (7 colors) according to this, and the stage where the height of the possibility of the special result is notified to the player in stages It has become.

  In the pre-rendering, it is possible to perform rendition of a stage that is equal to or less than the stage of the display color associated with the expected presentation rendition. For example, green or blue can be displayed as a display color for the start memory in which the SP1 reach occurs. In addition, cherry blossom, red, green or blue can be displayed for the start memory generated by the SP reach 3. The start timing of this pre-rendering may be when the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory of the object is displayed as shown in FIG. 73 (a), or as shown in FIG. 73 (b) It may be when starting memory is digested. In FIG. 73 (a), there are already two start memories, and when the third start memory is generated, pre-rendering is started for the start memories. Further, in FIG. 73 (b), there are already two start memories, and the pre-rendering is started for the second start memory when the first start memory is digested.

  In the gaming machine of the present modification, the special view starting opening switch common processing shown in FIG. 67 is performed. In addition, the processing of steps A 581 and A 582 is performed among the winning a prize monitoring timer processing shown in FIG. Then, as will be described later, information of the value of the acquired prize monitoring timer is transmitted to the effect control device 300.

[Special map reservation information determination process]
FIG. 74 shows the special view hold information determination process (step A569) in the process of starting opening switch common. This special view reservation information determination process is a prefetch process for determining the result related information corresponding to the start storage prior to the start timing of the special view variation display game based on the corresponding start storage.

  First, it is determined whether the conditions for performing the pre-reading effect are satisfied (step A231), and when the conditions are not satisfied (step A611; N), the special view holding information determination process is ended. Moreover, when satisfy | filling (step A611; Y), the process regarding the following pre-reading effects is performed.

  In the processing relating to the pre-reading effect performed when the conditions for performing the pre-reading effect are satisfied (step A611; Y), first, whether or not the big hit depends on whether the big hit random number value matches the big hit determination value A big hit determination process (step A612) to determine Then, if the determination result is a big hit (step A613; Y), set a big hit symbol random number check table corresponding to the target starting opening switch (step A614), check the big hit symbol random number, and stop the corresponding big hit symbol The pattern is acquired (step A615), and the stop symbol pattern is saved in the prefetch stop symbol pattern area (step A620).

  On the other hand, if the determination result is not a big hit (step A613; N), the small hit determination process (step A616) to determine whether it is a small hit or not by whether the big hit random number value matches the small hit determination value. Do. If the determination result is a small hit (step A617; Y), the small hit stop symbol pattern is obtained (step A618), and the stop symbol pattern is saved in the prefetch stop symbol pattern area (step A620). If the determination result is not a small hit (step A617; N), the off stop symbol pattern is set (step A619), and the stop symbol pattern is saved in the prefetch stop symbol pattern area (step A620).

  Thereafter, a prefetch symbol command corresponding to the target starting opening switch, stop symbol pattern and prize monitoring timer value is prepared (step A621), and command setting processing is performed (step A622). Next, special figure information setting processing (step A623) for setting special figure information that is a parameter for setting a variation pattern is performed, and a second half variation pattern setting information table corresponding to the target starting port switch is prepared (step A624) A fluctuation pattern setting process is performed to determine the fluctuation mode of the special view fluctuation display game (step A625).

  Then, the prefetch change pattern command corresponding to the first half fluctuation number indicating the first half fluctuation pattern and the second half fluctuation number indicating the second half fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game is prepared (step A626), and the command setting processing is performed ( Step A627) The special-image hold information determination process ends. The special figure information setting process in step A623 and the variation pattern setting process in step A625 are the same as the processes executed at the start of the special figure variation display game in the special figure routine process.

  By the above processing, the result of the special view variation display game based on the starting memory of the prefetch target, the prefetch symbol command including the time from the previous winning for the winning for generating the starting memory, the special based on the starting memory A look-ahead fluctuation pattern command including information on fluctuation patterns in the graphic fluctuation display game is prepared and transmitted to the effect control device 300. Thereby, the determination result (pre-reading result) of the result related information (whether or not the big hit or the type of fluctuation pattern, etc.) corresponding to the start memory is produced before the start timing of the special view change display game based on the corresponding start memory. It is possible to notify the control device 300, change the decoration special view start memory display displayed on the display device 41, and notify the player of the result related information before the start timing of the special view fluctuation display game. It becomes possible.

  That is, the game control device 100 determines a random number stored as a start memory in the start winning memory storage means (game control device 100) before execution of the variable display game based on the start memory (for example, whether a special result is obtained (Determine whether or not etc.) Make a predetermination means. It should be noted that the time when the random number value stored corresponding to the starting memory is determined in advance is not only at the time of the starting winning combination where the starting memory is generated but any time before the variable display game based on the starting memory is played Good.

[Predetermination processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in the predetermination process (step C69) in the 1st scene control process shown in FIG. 30, the process shown in FIG. 75 is performed. In this prior determination process, first, it is determined whether or not a prior determination command (pre-reading symbol command, pre-reading variation pattern command) has been received (step C101). The prior determination command is a command generated by the above-described special view suspension information determination process and transmitted from the game control apparatus 100, and includes the result of the prefetch process performed for the start storage.

  If this preliminary determination command has not been received (step C101; N), the preliminary determination process is ended. When the preliminary determination command is received (step C101; Y), the content of the preliminary determination command is saved in the corresponding hold (start) storage area (step C102). Then, the execution probability is set according to the acquired prize monitoring timer value (step C103), the execution determination random number is acquired (step C104), and the pre-reading effect execution lottery (step C105) according to the set execution probability is performed. Do.

  In the process (step C103) of setting the execution probability according to the acquired prize monitoring timer value, the execution probability is set in accordance with the table shown in FIG. For example, when the winning interval indicated by the winning monitoring timer value is 0.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds, the determination value is set such that execution of the pre-reading effect is selected with a probability of 60%. Then, in the pre-reading effect execution lottery (step C105) according to the set execution probability, the lottery is performed by referring the acquired execution determination random number to the determination value.

  Referring back to FIG. 75, after performing a pre-reading effect execution lottery (step C105) according to the set execution probability, it is determined whether or not pre-reading effect is to be executed (step C106), that is, it is determined whether or not pre-reading execution lottery has been won. . If the pre-reading effect is not executed without executing the pre-reading effect execution lottery (step C106; N), the pre-judging process is ended. In addition, when pre-reading effect execution lottery is elected and pre-reading effect is executed (step C106; Y), pre-reproduction information is acquired from the contents of pre-decision command (step C107), pre-reproduction information is made to the object storage area Are saved (step C108), and the predetermination process ends. That is, the effect control device 300 serves as a notice effect means for executing a notice effect concerning a game.

  Since the execution mode of the effect (here, the execution probability) is changed according to the timing of winning (in this case, the elapsed time from the previous winning), it is possible to make the game difficult to get bored and the interest is improved. In addition, it is possible to provide a new game characteristic of changing the effect for the winning on the starting opening, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  From the above, the variable display game is executed to change the identification information based on the winning of the game ball to the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 80), and the execution result of the variable display game is the specific result In the gaming machine which opens the special variation winning device (the first special variation winning device 38, the second special variation winning device 39) based on the fact that it has become a winning timing detection means for detecting the winning timing of the gaming ball to the starting opening (Game control apparatus 100) and a notice effect means (effect control apparatus 300) for executing a notice effect concerning a game, the notice effect means corresponding to the detection result by the prize timing detection means (game control apparatus 100) It will be possible to change the execution mode of the advance presentation effect. Here, the specific result includes not only the big hit with the operation of the condition device but also the small hit without the operation of the condition device.

  In addition, the winning timing detection means (gaming control device 100) is a winning interval detection means (gaming control device 100) for detecting the winning interval of the gaming ball to the starting opening (starting winning opening 36, second starting winning opening 80). According to the present invention, the advance presentation effect means (effect control device 300) can change the execution mode of the advance effect according to the winning interval detected by the winning interval detection means.

  In addition, starting memory means (the game control device which memorizes the starting memory which becomes execution right of the fluctuation indication game on the basis of winning of the game ball to starting opening (starting winning opening 36, 2nd starting winning opening 80) to specified upper limit number 100) and prior determination means for determining whether or not the result of the variable display game based on the start memory stored in the start memory means will be a specific result before execution of the variable display game based on the start memory (game Control device 100), and the advance presentation effect means (effect control device 300) is capable of executing an advance announcement effect that suggests derivation of a specific result, and pre-reading for notifying the judgment result by the prior judgment means as the advance announcement effect. The advance notice effect can be executed, and the execution mode of the advance notice effect can be changed according to the winning timing of the game ball to the start opening.

Tenth Modification
Next, a tenth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described ninth modification, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to a portion having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the execution mode of the pre-rendering effect differs according to the winning timing to the starting opening.

[Predetermination processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in place of the predetermination process shown in FIG. 75, the predetermination process shown in FIG. 77 is performed. In this pre-determination process, in place of the process of steps C103 to C106, a process (step C111) of setting a pre-effect table according to the current gaming state is performed. And based on the set prior rendering table, the prior rendering information is acquired from the content of the prior determination command (step C107).

  FIG. 78 shows the contents of the advance effect table corresponding to each gaming state. In each of the prior effect tables according to the game state, the displayable stages for the occurrence scheduled effect are different. As the classification of the game state, during the special game state, during the small hit game state, during the reach state, during the customer waiting screen, and during the normal non-any of these are defined. Then, for example, when the occurrence schedule effect is SP reach 1, if the generation timing of the start memory is normal, it is possible to set the display color of green or blue. Further, during the special gaming state, during the small hitting gaming state or during the reach, it is possible to set the display color of red, green or blue, and during the customer waiting screen, the pre-rendering effect is not executed.

  Since the advance determination command is transmitted to the effect control device 300 immediately after the start storage occurs, the gaming state at the timing when the effect control device 300 receives the advance determination command is regarded as the gaming state when the start storage occurs. Do. Then, the advance effect table corresponding to the game state is acquired, and the display color of the advance effect is determined based on the displayable stage defined in the advance effect table.

  Since the mode of execution of the effect (here, the displayable stage here) is changed according to the timing of winning (in this case, the generation timing of the start memory), it is possible to make the game difficult to get bored and the interest is improved. In addition, it is possible to provide a new game characteristic of changing the effect for the winning on the starting opening, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Eleventh Modification
Next, an eleventh modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described ninth modification, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to a portion having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of this modification, the execution mode of the pre-rendering effect differs according to the winning timing to the starting opening.

[Predetermination processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in place of the predetermination process shown in FIG. 75, the predetermination process shown in FIG. 79 is performed. In this predetermination process, instead of the process of steps C103 to C106, a prefetch condition setting table is set according to the acquired prize watch timer value (step C121), and fluctuation pattern information is acquired from the content of the predetermination command. (Step C122) It is determined whether or not pre-reading effect is to be executed (Step C123).

  FIG. 80 shows the contents of each pre-reading condition setting table according to the value of the acquired prize monitoring timer. In each pre-reading condition setting table, the occurrence schedule effects that can be performed pre-reading effect are different. For example, when the winning interval indicated by the winning monitoring timer value is 0.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds, the pre-reading effect is produced when the scheduled effect is SP reach 1 to 3 and when the result is a special result. Is feasible. In addition, when the winning interval indicated by the prize monitoring timer value is 2.6 seconds or more, it is possible to execute pre-reading effect only when the result is a special result, and in this case execution of pre-reading effect is a special result Reporting the occurrence of

  Since the execution mode of the effect (here, the scheduled effect that can be executed for the pre-reading effect) is changed according to the timing of winning (in this case, the elapsed time from the previous winning), it is difficult to get bored with the game It will improve the excitement. In addition, it is possible to provide a new game characteristic of changing the effect for the winning on the starting opening, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Twelfth Modified Example
Next, a twelfth modification of the gaming machine of the first embodiment described above will be described. In addition, basically, it has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described ninth modification, and hereinafter, the same reference numeral is given to a portion having the same configuration, and the description is mainly omitted. I will explain the part. In the gaming machine of the present modified example, the execution mode of the preliminary effect can be changed in accordance with the winning timing to the starting opening.

[Predetermination processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, in place of the predetermination process shown in FIG. 75, the predetermination process shown in FIG. 81 is performed. In this predetermination process, when the predetermination command is received, the re-prior determination process (step C131) is performed.

[Re-predetermination processing]
As shown in FIG. 82, in the re-prior determination process, first, it is determined whether there is a target starting memory (step C141). The target starting memory is the same type of special drawing (special figure 1 or special drawing 2), and is the starting memory stored one before the starting memory for which the processing related to the pre-effect in FIG. 81 has been performed. When there is no start memory of this object (step C141), the re-prior determination process is ended. In this case, the target starting memory has already been digested, and there is no starting memory to be changed.

  If the target start memory is stored (step C141; Y), the re-determination execution rate is set according to the acquired prize monitoring timer value (step C142). Furthermore, a redetermination random number is acquired (step C143), and a redetermination execution lottery according to the set redetermination execution rate is performed (step C144), and it is determined whether redetermination is to be performed (step C145).

  As a result of the re-determination execution lottery, when it is determined that the re-determination is not to be performed (step C145; N), the re-prior determination process is ended. If it is determined that re-determination is to be performed (step C145; Y), the content of the pre-determination command stored for the target start storage is acquired (step C146), and the prior rendering information of the target start storage is acquired. Step C147). Then, it is determined whether or not pre-reading effect has been executed for the target start memory (step C148).

  If the pre-reading effect has been executed for the target start storage (step C148; Y), the pre-reading re-determination table 1 is set (step C149). Further, when the pre-reading effect has not been executed for the target start storage (step C148; N), the pre-reading re-determination table 2 is set (step C150). Then, the pre-render information is set based on the set table (step C151), the pre-render information is saved in the target storage area (step C152), and the re-prior determination process is ended.

  FIG. 83A shows the contents of the prefetch redetermination probability table for selecting the redetermination execution rate in the process of step C142. The probability of determining re-determination is different depending on the winning interval indicated by the winning monitoring timer value, for example, when the winning interval indicated by the winning monitoring timer value is 0.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds, The probability is set to determine that re-determination is to be performed with a probability of 20%.

  Further, FIG. 83 (b) shows the contents of the pre-reading re-determination table 1 set in step C149. Here, the type of the pre-reading effect to be set is different depending on the type of the expected presentation effect in the target start memory, and for example, when the expected presentation effect is the SP reach, a red display color is set.

  Further, FIG. 83 (c) shows the contents of the pre-reading re-determination table 2 set in step C150. Here, the type of the pre-reading effect to be set is different depending on the type of the expected presentation effect in the target start memory, and for example, when the expected presentation effect is N (normal) reach, the green light emission color is set. Moreover, it is not changed, when generation | occurrence | production schedule presentation is SP reach 1-3. Although the setting of the change is not limited to this, it is desirable to restrict the change to a stage lower than the stage already set.

  Since the execution mode of the effect (here, the pre-read effect for the start memory already stored) is changed according to the timing of winning (in this case, the elapsed time from the previous winning), it is difficult to get bored with the game It is possible to improve the interest. In addition, it is possible to provide a new game characteristic of changing the effect for the winning on the starting opening, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. The starting memory of the target is the same type of special drawing (special figure 1 or special drawing 2), and is the starting memory stored one before the starting memory for which the processing related to the advance effect was performed in FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and all start memories may be set as the target start memories, or a specific start memory selected by lottery or the like may be set as the target start memories.

  The gaming machine 10 as described above executes the variable display game in which the identification information is changed based on the winning of the game ball in the starting opening (the starting winning opening 36, the second starting winning opening 80), and the execution result of the variable display game Is a gaming machine that opens the special fluctuation winning apparatus (the first special fluctuation winning apparatus 38, the second special fluctuation winning apparatus 39) based on the specific result, in order to determine the fluctuation time in the fluctuation display game The variation pattern table storage means (game control apparatus 100) storing a plurality of variation pattern tables and the variation pattern table of one of the plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the variation pattern table storage means is determined to determine the variation pattern A variation pattern table acquiring unit (game control apparatus 100) and a predetermined period are set, and it is determined whether the predetermined condition is satisfied within the predetermined period. The game execution device (game control apparatus 100) capable of executing the game mode, and the plurality of fluctuation pattern tables are shorter than the fluctuation patterns selected in the normal fluctuation pattern table and the normal fluctuation pattern table which are usually used. The variation pattern table acquisition means comprises at least a special variation pattern table having a high selection ratio of variation patterns of variation time, and the variation pattern table acquiring means determines that the mission execution means has satisfied the predetermined condition as a trigger for the special variation pattern from the normal variation pattern table It switches to a table and is trying to acquire a change pattern.

  Here, the specific result includes not only the big hit with the operation of the condition device but also the small hit without the operation of the condition device.

  Therefore, since it is determined that the mission execution means has satisfied the predetermined condition, the fluctuation time of the variable display game changes, so it is difficult to get bored and the interest is enhanced. Further, the execution frequency of the variable display game can be increased by shortening the fluctuation time, and the player can advantageously proceed with the game.

  In addition, the starting opening is provided with the normal fluctuation winning device 37 capable of converting the game ball into a closed state in which the game ball can not win or difficult and an open state in which the game ball can win. The mission execution means (game control means) is provided with an operation state control means (game control device 100) for setting any one of the operation state and the second operation state in which the open time per unit time is longer than the first operation state. The control device 100 is configured not to execute the mission mode when the second operation state is set by the operation state control means.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent switching to the special variation pattern table when the second operation state is already advantageous to the player, so that the player is not too advantageous. can do.

  In addition, the variable display game executes a first variable display game based on winning on the first start winning opening (starting winning opening 36) and a second variable display game based on winning on the second start winning opening 80. It is configured to be able to generate a big hit with the operation of the condition device and a small hit without the operation of the condition device based on the derivation of the specific result. Therefore, the fluctuation pattern table can be switched by deriving a big hit or a small hit.

  In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine shown in the above embodiment as a gaming machine, and, for example, other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, ball ball gaming machines, etc. The present invention is applicable to all gaming machines that use the game ball of. In addition, the configurations of the above-described modified examples can be combined appropriately and applied.

  Further, it should be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect.
