  When the gaming machines described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are combined, it is possible to consider a gaming machine in which effects according to the effect mode selected by the player are executed after the big hit gaming state ends, and a holding train occurs. . However, in such a gaming machine, the effect according to the selected gaming mode is executed only for a short time by the holding train, which may cause a decrease in interest. Further, as described in Patent Document 2, when the on-hold series effect is executed, the selected effect mode itself is not executed, which may cause a decrease in interest.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can limit the situation where the selected effect is not executed and can suppress the decrease in interest.

(A) A gaming machine according to an aspect of the present invention is a gaming machine that has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is capable of performing variable display and capable of controlling in an advantageous state advantageous to a player. An effect execution means capable of executing a selection request to select an effect to be executed after control of the advantageous state is selected from among a plurality of effects, and an indication effect suggesting that the selection request is to be executed Suggestive effect executing means, wherein the effect executing means is a pending storage for storing a variable display not yet started during control of the advantageous state, and after the control of the advantageous state is finished, the advantageous state is again performed When there is a specific pending memory to be controlled, a special rendition for not selecting a rendition is executed instead of the execution of the selection request, and the suggested rendition is performed before and after the selection request is executed. Can be performed before the output is executed, characterized in that.
Further, in the above-mentioned gaming machine, the plurality of effects to be selected in the selection request may be increased based on establishment of a predetermined condition.
(1) The gaming machine according to one aspect of the present invention is made to solve the above-described problem, and performs variable display, and as a display result of the variable display, a specific display result (for example, predetermined as a big hit symbol) Gaming machine (eg, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state etc.) advantageous to the player when the displayed special symbol, finalized decoration symbol etc. different from the big hit combination is derived and displayed A selection request to select one of a plurality of effects (for example, the battle effects shown in FIGS. 40 (C-1) to (C-3)) which are executed after the control of the advantageous state is finished. For example, effect selection means (for example, effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2) for executing (for example, selection ending effect shown in FIG. 40 (B)) and pending storage (for example, storage of variable display not yet started) For example, as the reserve data stored in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A, after the control of the advantage state is ended, the control of the advantage state is performed again (for example, has not been started yet in the big hit gaming state) A specific group (for example, the display result determination random number value MR1 shown in FIG. 11 is “8438” to “11277” (high probability). Limit the execution of the selection request by the effect selecting means when the high base state) or the storage of “8001” to “8437” (low probability low base state) is in control of the advantageous state For example, the present invention is characterized by including execution restriction means (for example, the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2) that does not execute the selection ending effect shown in FIG. 40 (B).

  According to such a gaming machine, when the control of the advantageous state is performed again after the control of the advantageous state is ended, the execution of the selection request by the effect selecting means is restricted. That is, when there are few opportunities for the effect to be performed, the selection of the effect is limited. For this reason, the situation that the selected effect is not executed is limited, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest.

(2) In the gaming machine according to the above (1), when there is the specific hold storage, execution of a selection request by the effect selecting means limited by the execution limiting means (for example, selection ending shown in FIG. 40 (B) Instead of the execution of the effect, the special effect may be executed (for example, the special ending effect shown in FIG. 41C may be performed).

  According to such a gaming machine, since the special effect is executed while the effect by the effect selecting means is executed, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness and to improve the interest.

(3) In the gaming machine of the above (1) or (2), the execution limiting means does not have the specific hold storage (for example, all the random value MR1 for display result determination shown in FIG. 11277 ”(during high probability high base state) or storage other than“ 8001 ”to“ 8437 ”(low probability low base state)) execution of the selection request by the effect selecting means (for example, FIG. It is possible to limit the execution of the selection ending effect shown in (B), and when there is no specific pending storage, performs the same effect as when there is the specific pending storage (for example, the normal effect described in the modification) It may be possible.

  According to such a gaming machine, even when the control of the advantageous state is not performed again after the control of the advantageous state is finished, it is possible to give an expectation that the control of the advantageous state is performed again.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (3), a predetermined upper limit number (for example, of the first reserved memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 shown in FIG. 11) Hold storage means (for example, the RAM 102 shown in FIG. 2) for storing hold storage up to the first hold storage number counted by the first hold storage number count value which is a storage value) is selected by the effect selection means In the selected effect (for example, the battle effect selected from among the three battle effects shown in FIGS. 40 (C-1) to (C-3)), the control of the advantageous state is ended, and the upper limit number is variable. After the display result of the display is derived and displayed (for example, after the four variable display games after the big hit gaming state has ended) may be executed.

  According to such a gaming machine, when the control of the advantageous state is performed again after the control of the advantageous state is finished, it is possible to prevent an effect that is less related to the control of the advantageous state from occurring. Can be suppressed.

  (5) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (4), introduction of selection by the effect selecting means (for example, selection ending introduction effect shown in FIG. 40 (A) and FIG. 41 (A)) The execution selection means (for example, the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2) to be executed is provided, and the execution restriction means executes the selection request by the effect selection means after executing the introduction of the selection by the effect selection introduction means (For example, after the selection ending introduction effect shown in FIG. 41 (A) is executed, the selection ending effect shown in FIG. 40 (B) is not performed).

  According to such a gaming machine, it is possible to give an expectation that control of the advantageous state will be performed again after control of the advantageous state is finished until the introduction of the effect selection.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of the above (1) to (5), when there is the specific hold storage, the execution limiting means allows execution of a selection request by the effect selecting means (for example, With the selection ending effect shown in FIG. 40 (B)), the execution of the selection request by the effect selecting means is restricted (for example, the execution opportunity of the selection ending effect shown in FIG. 40 (B) is restricted) May be

  According to such a gaming machine, even when the effect selection means is executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the control of the advantageous state will be performed again after the control of the advantageous state is finished. .

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

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, LEDs of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc. The special symbol which is identification information of is displayed variably. For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B can variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. Do. In addition, the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols, in which combinations of what are turned on and turned off in the 7-segment LED are different.

  A plurality of special symbols are given symbol numbers corresponding to them. As an example, symbol numbers “0” to “9” are attached to the numbers indicating “0” to “9”, and symbol numbers “10” are attached to the symbols indicating “−”. Just do it. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as the "second special view" .

  The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are both formed, for example, in a square shape. The type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same, or the types may be different. Further, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B may be configured to variably display numbers indicating, for example, "00" to "99".

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 includes, for example, an LCD, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the image display device 5, corresponding to the variable display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A in the special figure game and the variable display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions such as three, decorative symbols which are plural types of identification information capable of identifying each are variably displayed. The variable display of this decorative pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the image display device 5, decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to any one of the change of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A and the change of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B being started in the special figure game, In the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, variation of the decorative symbols is started. After that, when the finalized special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special view game, each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the "left", "middle" and "right" in the image display device 5 The finalized decorative pattern that is the result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed.

  Thus, in the display area of the image display device 5, the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A, or the special drawing using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B In synchronization with the game, variable display of a plurality of decorative patterns that can be identified respectively is performed, and a finalized decorative pattern to be a variable display result is derived and displayed. Note that, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as a special symbol and a decorative symbol means stopping display of identification information such as a decorative symbol and the like, and ending variable display. On the other hand, during the variable display from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when the fixed decorative symbol as the variable display result is derived and displayed, the change speed of the decorative symbol is "0", and the decorative symbol is displayed. For example, the symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, and may be in a display state that causes, for example, slight shaking or expansion and contraction. Such a display state is also referred to as a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed in a definite manner, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative symbol by the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include, for example, complete stop display of the decorative pattern only for a time shorter than a predetermined time without causing slight shaking or expansion or contraction.

  The decorative symbols variably displayed on the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are configured with, for example, eight types of symbols. Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the decorative symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”. The decorative design is not limited to eight types, and may be any number as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations such as a combination of big hit and a lost combination.

  After the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, until the finalized decorative symbol to be the variable display result is derived and displayed, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R for "left", "middle" and "right" For example, when the scroll display is performed such that the symbol numbers flow sequentially from the top to the bottom from the one with the highest symbol number to the next, and the decorative symbol with the highest symbol number is displayed, the symbol number is subsequently minimized. A certain decorative pattern is displayed. Alternatively, when at least one of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is scrolled from a large symbol number to a small symbol number and a decorative symbol having the smallest symbol number is displayed, Subsequently, a decorative symbol with the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the image display device 5, a start winning storage display area 5H is disposed. In the start winning storage display area 5H, a holding storage display for specifying the number of holdings of variable display corresponding to the special view game is performed. Here, the game ball passes the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A, and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball device 6B, for suspension of variable display corresponding to the special view game. It occurs based on the starting winnings by doing. That is, although the start condition for executing the variable display game such as the special view game and the variable display of the decorative symbol is satisfied, that the variable display game is being executed based on the start condition established earlier A variable corresponding to the start condition established when the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not established by being controlled to the jackpot gaming state (one of the advantageous states advantageous to the player), etc. The display is suspended.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the start winning a prize storage display area 5H, the first reserve for displaying the number of special view reserve storages in an identifiable manner on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The first special view reservation storage number is the number of storages for which the execution of the special view game using the first special view is suspended. The second special view reservation storage count is the number of storages for which the execution of the special view game using the second special view is suspended. The number of pending storages of the variable display obtained by adding the number of the first special view pending storage and the number of the second special view pending storage is particularly referred to as the total pending storage number. The term "number of Tokushu reserve storages" simply refers to a concept that includes all of the number of first to reserve special storages, the number of second reserve special storages, and the total number of pending storages, but in particular to some of these There are also cases.

  Under the image display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The regular winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening as a starting area which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is an electric motor having a pair of movable winglets that changes between a normally open state in a vertical position and an enlarged open state in a tilting position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric symbol shown in FIG. A tulip type character is provided, and a second start winning opening is formed as a start area different from the first start area.

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, when the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is in the off state, it is difficult for the game ball to easily pass the second starting winning hole It will be open. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by tilting control in which the movable wing piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is on. It becomes easy to expand and open. In addition, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normal opening state, the gaming ball may enter more than in the enlarged opening state. It may be configured to be low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball device 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening in the normally open state. As described above, the second start winning opening as the second start area changes between the enlarged open state in which the game ball easily passes and the normally open state in which the game ball hardly passes or can not pass.

  The game ball which has passed the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, a first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball which has passed the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, a second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. A predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first start opening switch 22A, and the first start if the number of the first special view pending storages is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit. The condition is met. Based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the second start opening switch 22B, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball, and the second start condition is if the second number of pending storages is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit. To establish. The number of winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first starting opening switch 22A and the number of the winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the second starting opening switch 22B. The numbers may be the same or different from each other.

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

  As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the OFF state, the big winning mouth door closes the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball can not pass the big winning mouth . On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door opens the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball easily passes the big winning mouth Do. As described above, the special winning opening as the specific area is changed into an opened state in which the game ball easily passes, which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass and which is disadvantageous for the player. In place of the closed state in which the game ball can not pass through the big winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball hardly passes through the big winning opening may be provided.

  The game ball which has passed through the special winning opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. Based on the fact that the game ball is detected by the count switch 23, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as winning balls. Thus, when the game ball passes through the special winning opening that has been opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, for example, when the game ball passes other winning openings such as the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening. More prize balls are paid out. Therefore, when the special winning prize opening is opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the gaming ball can enter the special winning prize opening, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning hole is closed in the special variable winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult to get the winning ball by passing the gaming ball through the big winning hole, which is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes 2 states.

  An ordinary symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of LEDs of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc. like the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and plural kinds of identification information different from the special symbol The symbol is usually displayed variably. Such variable display of normal symbols is called a common game.

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a general drawing reserve display 25C is provided. The general drawing retention indicator 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general drawing retention memory number as the number of effective passing balls passed through the passing gate 41.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the variable symbol display of the normal symbol is executed by the normal symbol display 20 such that the game ball passing through the passing gate 41 provided in the game area is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. For example, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition for starting the variable display of the normal symbol is started, for example, that the previous normal drawing game has ended, after the normal drawing start condition for the normal drawing is satisfied, the normal symbol display 20 The popular figure game by is started.

  In this common-play game, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when a predetermined time as the common-pattern fluctuation time has elapsed, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed. At this time, if a specific normal symbol such as a number indicating "7" is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common figure". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7” as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol is “general symbol lost” Become. In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol being "per common figure", the expansion and release control is performed such that the movable wing piece of the electrically-driven tulip that constitutes the normally variable winning ball device 6B is tilted. The normal release control is performed to return to the vertical position when.

  For example, after the first start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the occurrence of the start winning which is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. 2, the gaming ball having passed the first starting winning opening formed in the regular winning ball device 6A. A special drawing game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started based on the establishment of the first start condition by the previous special drawing game, the end of the big hit gaming state, or the like. In addition, the second start condition is satisfied by the occurrence of the start winning that the game ball which has passed the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, by the end of the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

  In the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, after the variable display of the special symbol is started after the variable display of the special symbol is started, the variable display of the special symbol Derivate and display the finalized special symbol. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol It becomes ".

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit", the game is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, as an example, a special symbol indicating the number "3" or "7" is a big hit symbol, and a special symbol indicating the symbol "-" is a lost symbol. Each symbol such as a big hit symbol or lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Also, the special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol or a lost symbol.

  After the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special figure game and becomes a "big hit" as a specific display result, in the big hit gaming state, the big winning opening door of the special variable winning ball device 7, predetermined upper limit time The big winning opening is in the open state in the period until the elapse of or the time until the predetermined number of winning balls are generated. As a result, a round for setting the special variable winning prize ball device 7 to a first state advantageous to the player is performed.

  The special winning opening door with the big winning opening opened during execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then the special winning opening is closed, thereby the special variable winning winning ball device 7 is changed to a second state disadvantageous to the player to complete one round. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number. Note that, even before the number of round executions reaches the upper limit number, round execution may be ended when a predetermined condition is met.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot gaming state in which the number of round executions is “16” is also referred to as a 16R jackpot state, while the jackpot gaming state in which the number of rounds execution is “6” is also referred to as a 6R jackpot state.

  Of the special symbols indicating the number of "3" or "7" that will be the jackpot symbol, the special symbol indicating the number of "7" is the 16R jackpot symbol, and the special symbol indicating the number of "3" is the 6R jackpot symbol . After the special symbol showing the number of "7" which is the 16R big hit symbol as the finalized special symbol in the special figure game is derived, it is controlled to the 16R big hit state. On the other hand, after the special symbol indicating the number of "3" which is the 6R big hit symbol as the determined special symbol in the special figure game is derived, it is controlled to the 6R big hit state.

  In the 16R big hit state based on the fact that the confirmed special symbol as a variable display result in the special figure game has become the 16R big hit symbol, "16" is set relatively high as the upper limit number of rounds when the big winning opening becomes open state Thus, the substantial period in which the big winning opening is open from the start to the end of the jackpot gaming state is relatively long. Therefore, in the 16R big hit state, many game balls are easy to pass through the big winning opening. On the other hand, in the 6R big hit state based on the determined special symbol as the variable display result in the special view game becoming the 6R big hit symbol, the relatively small upper limit number of rounds in which the big winning opening is opened " Since "6" is set, the substantial period in which the big winning opening is in the open state from the start to the end of the big hit gaming state is relatively short. Therefore, in the 6R jackpot state, only game balls smaller than the 16R jackpot state can pass the large winning opening. Thus, in the 16R big hit state, control is performed to change the large winning opening to the first state and the second state in the first change mode in which the game ball easily passes. On the other hand, when in the 6R big hit state, control is performed to change the large winning opening to the first state and the second state in the second change mode in which the game ball hardly passes.

  It is not limited to what makes passing easy of a game ball differ according to the number of times of execution of the round which makes a big prize mouth a 1st state, for example, passage of a game sphere according to the period which makes a big prize mouth a 1st state The ease of operation may be made different. As an example, the special winning opening door of the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the period until the predetermined upper limit time which becomes the first period elapses, or the period until the first number of winning balls occur In the open state, control is performed to change the large winning opening to the open state in the first change mode in which the game ball easily passes. On the other hand, the special winning prize opening door of the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is a period until a predetermined upper limit time which is a second period shorter than the first period elapses, or a period until a second number of winning balls are generated. By setting the special winning opening in the open state, control is performed to change the special winning opening to the open state in the second change mode in which the game ball hardly passes.

  A big win in the first big hit state in which the big winning opening is changed in the first change mode in all rounds executed when in the big hit gaming state, and in some rounds executed when the big hit gaming state A second jackpot state may be provided in which the mouth is changed in the second change mode. As an example, although the first big hit state and the second big hit state are both the upper limit number of rounds "16", in the first big hit state in the first change aspect the big winning opening in all of the 16 rounds While changing to the open state, after changing the big winning opening to the open state in the first change mode in 6 rounds of 16 rounds in the second big hit state, the big winning opening in the remaining 10 rounds May be changed to the open state in the second change mode. As described above, when in the first big hit state, control is performed to change the first winning state to the first state and the second state in the first change mode in which the game ball easily passes through the big winning opening, while in the second big hit state At some time, control may be performed to change the first state and the second state in a second change mode in which the game ball hardly passes the special winning opening in a predetermined period.

  For example, like the game in the 16R big hit state, the game in the game state in which a large number of game balls easily pass through the big winning opening is an advantageous game advantageous to the player than the predetermined game in the 6R big hit state. The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment executes a predetermined game and an advantageous game that is more advantageous to the player than the predetermined game, depending on whether the large hit game state is controlled to the 6R big hit state or the 16R big hit state. It is possible.

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

  In the reach state, when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the display is continuously changed with respect to the decorative pattern not being stopped and displayed yet It is a display state in which the state, or all or part of the decorative pattern changes synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in part of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of "left", "middle" and "right", when the decorative symbols constituting the predetermined big hit combination are stopped and displayed, they are still displayed. In the remaining decorative symbol display area which is not stopped and displayed, the display condition in which the decorative symbol is changing, or in all or part of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" It is a display state in which the decorative design is fluctuating synchronously while constituting all or part of the big hit combination.

  In response to the reaching state, the variation speed of the decorative pattern is reduced, a character image different from the decorative pattern is displayed in the display area of the image display 5, and the display mode of the background image is changed. By rendering and displaying a moving image different from the decorative pattern or changing the variation pattern of the decorative pattern, a rendering operation different from that before reaching the reach state may be executed. A rendering operation such as a character image display, a change in the display mode of the background image, a reproduction display of a moving image, or a rendering operation such as a change in the variation pattern of the decorative pattern, or a combination of some or all of them It is called reach effect indication. In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the image display device 5, but also the voice output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, etc. An operation mode different from the above may be included.

  As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of effect patterns having different operation modes may be prepared in advance. And each reach mode differs in the possibility of becoming a "big hit". That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" can be made different depending on which of the plurality of reach effects is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, reach modes such as normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β are set in advance. Then, when the reach mode of the super reach such as the super reach α or the super reach β appears, the possibility that the variable display result is the “big hit” is higher than when the reach mode of the normal reach appears.

  Unlike the reach effect, the variable display state of the decorative pattern may reach the reach state during the variable display of the decorative pattern, or the variable display result may become the "big hit", etc. A variable display effect may be executed to notify the player by the variable display mode of the decorative symbol or the like. In the present embodiment, variable display effects such as “slip” and “simulated link” can be performed. It may be determined whether or not to execute the variable display effect of “slip” or “simulated link” in response to the change pattern being determined on the main substrate 11 side. It should be noted that whether or not the variable display effect of “slip” is to be executed on the effect control substrate 12 side may be determined regardless of the variation pattern determined on the main substrate 11 side.

  Unlike variable display effects such as reach effect or “slip” or “simulated link” during variable display of decorative symbols, for example, displaying a predetermined effect image, image display or voice output as a message, lamp There is a possibility that the variable display state of the decorative symbol may reach the reach state by the effect operation different from the variable display operation of the decorative symbol such as lighting, and the reach effect by the super reach may be executed. An advance notice effect may be executed to notify the player in advance that the variable display result may be a "big hit" or the like. The production operation to be the preview production is the variable display state of the decorative design after the variable display of the decorative design is started in all of the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" It is sufficient if it is executed before the reach state. In addition, the notice effect that notifies that the variable display result may become a "big hit" may include one that is executed after the variable display state of the decorative symbol is in the reach state.

  When a special symbol to be a lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a finalized special symbol in the special drawing game, the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol does not reach the predetermined state after the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started. The fixed decoration pattern which becomes non reach combination of may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display mode of the decorative symbol is referred to as a "non-reach" variable display mode when the variable display result is "loss".

  When the special symbol to be the lost symbol is displayed as a stop as a final symbol in the special figure game, the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started after the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started. Then, after the reach effect is performed, or the reach effect is not performed, the finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined reach loss combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variable display result of a decorative symbol is referred to as a "reach" variable display mode in the case where the variable display result is "loss".

  When the special symbol to be the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the finalized special symbol in the special figure game, the predetermined reach effect is executed corresponding to the change display state of the decorative symbol becoming the reach state. After that, or the reach effect is not performed, the finalized decorative symbol which is a predetermined big hit combination is stopped and displayed. Here, for the finalized decorative pattern to be a big hit combination, for example, the symbol numbers variably displayed in the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the image display device 5 are “ Among the decorative symbols 1 ”to“ 8 ”, any one of the decorative symbols having the same symbol number is“ left ”,“ middle ”, and“ right ”in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. What is necessary is just the one displayed on the predetermined effective line and displayed in a stopped state.

  Depending on whether the special symbol derived as the finalized special symbol is the 16R big hit symbol or the 6R big hit symbol, the decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed as the big hit combination may be made different. As an example, when the 16R big hit symbol is derived as the finalized special symbol, the decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed in the big hit combination is selected for all of the decorative symbols of "1" to "8", while the 6R big hit is selected. When the symbol is derived as the finalized special symbol, the decorative symbol to be displayed in the big hit combination is selected for the decorative symbols whose symbol numbers are even "2", "4", "6" and "8" May be In this case, it is notified that the 16R big hit state will be reached by stopping display of any of the decorative symbols with odd number “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” in the big hit combination Be done. On the other hand, when any of the decorative symbols with symbol numbers “2”, “4”, “6” and “8” is stopped and displayed in the big hit combination, whether it will be 16R big hit state or 6R big hit state The player becomes unrecognizable or difficult to recognize.

  In response to the determined special symbol in the special figure game becoming the 6R big hit symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, or the reach effect is not executed, the decoration pattern of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed The variable display mode of the symbol is referred to as the "first jackpot" variable display mode. On the other hand, in response to the finalized special symbol in the special figure game becoming the 16R big hit symbol, the fixed ornament symbol of the big hit combination is stopped and displayed after the predetermined reach effect is executed or the reach effect is not executed. The variable display mode of the decorative symbol is called the "second jackpot" variable display mode.

  In the present embodiment, after the big hit gaming state based on the fact that the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is "big hit" is controlled to the probability changing state in which probability change control is performed. The probability change control is the probability that the special display game and the variable display result of the decorative symbol become a "big hit" (probability of being controlled to the big hit gaming state) from the normal state (also referred to as normal gaming state, low probability low base state) Is also a control to improve. That is, by performing the probability change control, the probability that the variable display result is a "big hit" is enhanced in the special display game and the variable display of the decorative symbol than in the normal state, and the probability of being controlled to the big hit gaming state is high. Become. The normal state is a gaming state (a gaming state in which the same control as the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed) different from the specific gaming state such as the big hit gaming state, the definite change state, and the time saving state. The time saving state is a gaming state in which high open control (described later) and time saving control (described later) are performed. Hereinafter, the gaming state in which at least one of the high opening control and the time saving control is performed is referred to as a time saving state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the big hit gaming state ends, both the high opening control and the time saving control are performed in a short time state. The high opening control is control for improving the frequency at which the normal winning ball device 6A is in the enlarged open state more than the normal state. That is, by performing the high opening control, the frequency with which the normal winning ball device 6A is in the enlarged open state is increased than in the normal state, and the possibility that the second start condition is satisfied is increased. Specifically, for example, in high open control, control to shorten the variation time of the regular symbol in the regular game with the regular symbol display 20 than in the normal state, and the variable display result of the regular symbol in each regular game Control to improve the probability of being hit "flat" more than in the normal state, tilting to perform tilting control of the movable wing piece in the normal variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result becomes "on flat" One of the control for making the control time longer than in the normal state and the control for increasing the number of tilting times more than in the normal state may be performed, or two or more of the controls may be It may be performed. In addition, time saving control is control for shortening the variation time of the special symbol in the special figure game compared to the normal state. That is, by performing the time saving control, the fluctuation time of the special symbol in the special figure game becomes shorter than that in the normal state, and the time until the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is derived and displayed becomes faster. When both the high opening control and the time saving control are performed together, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is easily established. Since the variation chart time of the special figure game using the second special figure is shortened, the number of gaming balls is reduced next until the variable display result becomes "big hit", and the next variable display result is "big hit" It can save (compress, reduce) the time required to become

  That is, in the present embodiment, after the big hit gaming state ends, it is controlled to be a probability change state and is controlled to be a time saving state. In other words, after the big hit gaming state ends, time saving control and high open control are performed along with the probability change control.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the probability variation state in which the probability variation control is performed, one of the condition that the special view game is executed a predetermined number of times and the variable display result becomes “big hit” again first. It ends when it is established. However, if the variable display result is "big hit" again, as described above, after the big hit gaming state ends, it is controlled to the positive change state again.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, the short time state in which both the high release control and the time saving control are performed simultaneously ends when the probability change control ends. That is, the high release control and the time saving control end with the probability change control.

  In addition, the gaming state which is both a definite change state and a short time state is also called a high probability high base state. The gaming state which is a definite change state and not a short time state is also referred to as a high probability low base state. The gaming state which is a short time state and not a definite change state is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The gaming state which is neither time saving nor definite changing state is also referred to as a low probability low base state (normal state). When the gaming state is a high probability high base state or a high probability low base state, the probability of the variable display result being a "big hit" corresponding to each special view game is higher than usual, so the low probability low base state It becomes easy to become a big hit game state compared with (normal state). In addition, when the gaming state is high probability high base condition or low probability high base condition, the special figure fluctuation time in each special figure game is shortened and the second start condition is easily established, the low probability low base It becomes easy to be a big hit gaming state compared with the state (normal state). Thus, the high probability high base state, the high probability low base state, and the low probability high base state are advantageous states for the player. Also, although the gaming state in which at least one of the high opening control and the time saving control is performed is referred to as the time saving state, the gaming state in which only one of the high opening control or the time saving control is performed Also included. Also, the definite change state (high probability high base state, high probability low base state) is also referred to as a special game state. In the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in either the low probability low base state or the high probability high base state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the high release control and the time saving control are described as ending with the probability change control, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the high release control (as well as the time reduction control) may end after (late) the probability change control ends or (early) before the probability change control ends. For example, in the case of a definite change state, one of the predetermined figure (for example, 100 times) special figure game being executed and the variable display result becoming "big hit" again is established first. In the high opening control (same time saving control as well), the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 120 times) more than the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the probability variation control Alternatively, the variable display result may be terminated when any one of the conditions that the result of the variable display becomes “big hit” is satisfied first, and may be more than the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the probability change control. The special figure game is executed a small predetermined number of times (for example, 80 times), and the variable display result becomes “big hit” again, and any one of the conditions is ended when it is established first. It is also good. In addition, for example, the predetermined number of times related to the probability change control after the big hit gaming state is ended according to the type of the big hit symbol etc, the predetermined number of times related to high opening control, the predetermined number of times related to time saving control may be determined . That is, for example, after the big hit game state with a big hit symbol is ended, the high opening control or the time reduction control ends with the probability change control, and after the big hit game state with another big hit symbol is ended, the high open control or time short control May end after (or before) the probability change control. The high release control does not have to end with the time saving control. That is, the high release control may end after the time reduction control ends or before the time reduction control ends.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the time saving control and the high opening control are performed together with the probability change control after the big hit gaming state ends, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after the jackpot gaming state ends, one or two of the probability change control, the time saving control, and the high opening control may be performed. For example, depending on the type of jackpot symbol etc., it may be determined whether to perform the probability change control after the jackpot gaming state is over, whether to perform the high opening control, or whether to execute the time saving control.

  Although the jackpot gaming state, the high probability high base state, the high probability low base state, and the low probability high base state are described as advantageous states for the player, advantageous states for the player are limited thereto. I will not. For example, in the present embodiment, in the case of providing a sudden (sudden definite) change, a small hit, etc., a positive, a small hit, etc. is also included in the advantageous state advantageous to the player.

The wiring which transmits the command signal for performing display control of etc. is connected.

  The control signal transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 is relayed by the relay substrate 15. The control command transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 via the relay substrate 15 is, for example, an effect control command transmitted and received as an electric signal. In the effect control command, for example, a display control command used to control an image display operation in the image display device 5, a voice control command used to control an audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a game effect lamp 9 And a lamp control command used to control the lighting operation of the decorative LED and the like.

  FIG. 3A is an explanatory view showing an example of the contents of the effect control command used in the present embodiment. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte indicates MODE, and the second byte indicates EXT. The first bit of MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of EXT data is "0". The command shown in FIG. 3A is an example, and another command may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is configured by two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one, or may be three or more.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3A, a command 8001H is a first change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. "H" of "8001H" indicates that "8001" is a hexadecimal number. The same applies to other commands. The command 8002H is a second change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. Command 81XXH is an ornament that is variably displayed in each of "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol in the special figure game. It is a fluctuation pattern specification command which specifies a fluctuation pattern such as a symbol. The “XX” of the EXT data in the “81XXH” indicates that the value is an unspecified value, and is a value arbitrarily set according to the content of the command. For example, in the fluctuation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set according to the fluctuation pattern or the like designated in the fluctuation pattern designation command. The same applies to "XX" of EXT data in other commands.

  The command 8CXXH is a variable display result notification command for specifying a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol. In the variable display result notification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the determination result whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit”, or the variable display result is “big hit”. Different EXT data are set in accordance with the determination result as to which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is to be made. More specifically, the command 8C00H is a first variable display result notification command indicating a result of the prior determination that the variable display result is "loss". The command 8C01H is a second variable display result notification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is “big hit” and the big hit type “first big hit” and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result notification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type "second big hit" and the big hit type determination result.

  The command 8F00H is a symbol determination designating command for designating the stop of the variation of the decorative symbol in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a prize determination result specifying command for designating a predetermined determination result at the time of occurrence of the start winning, such as the first starting winning or the second starting winning. In this embodiment, a predetermined random number extracted at the occurrence of the start winning is determined to be included in a plurality of preset numerical ranges, and different data are designated according to the determination result based on the determination result. Set as EXT data of command.

Note that other random values may be used to enhance the gaming effect. The random numbers used to control the progress of such a game are also referred to as gaming random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating a part or all of the random numbers MR1 to MR5. The CPU 103 updates the various numerical value data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 shown in FIG. Numerical data indicating a part of the MR 5 may be counted.

  The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used to determine whether or not the variable display result such as the special symbol in the special figure game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit". It takes a value in the range of "0" to "65535". The random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is a random number value used to determine the jackpot type as either "first jackpot" or "second jackpot" when the variable display result is "big hit", For example, it takes a value in the range of "0" to "99".

  FIG. 5 shows a variation pattern in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "loss", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" and "variable" corresponding to each of the cases where it is "reach". A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the result is a "big hit" or the like. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "losing" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is referred to as a non-reach variation pattern, and the variable display result is "losing" and the decorative symbol is The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display mode is "reach" is referred to as a reach variation pattern.

  The non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the loss fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern. The jackpot fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of normal reach is executed, and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of super reach such as super reach α or super reach β is executed.

  FIG. 6 shows the variation pattern type in the present embodiment. Each fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 5 is included in at least one fluctuation pattern type among the plurality of fluctuation pattern types shown in FIG. That is, each variation pattern type may be configured to include a single or a plurality of variation patterns classified based on, for example, the mode of the rendering operation performed during the variable display of the decorative symbol.

  As an example, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are classified according to the reach effect type, and a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern in which the variable display state of the decorative design does not reach a reach state, and a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern with normal reach , And a variation pattern type including a variation pattern involving super reach. Moreover, about the fluctuation pattern with super reach, according to the content of reach production, you may make it classify | categorize into a different fluctuation pattern classification. Alternatively, different fluctuation pattern types may be classified according to whether or not a predetermined variable display effect is performed. As another example, a plurality of fluctuation patterns may be classified according to the variable display time of the decorative pattern or the like. Among the plurality of variation pattern types, there may be one configured to include a common variation pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 6, one or more fluctuation patterns are classified into each fluctuation pattern type according to the contents of the variable display mode and the variable display. The specific classification of the fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 5 can be specified, for example, from the setting of the fluctuation pattern determination table 133 as shown in FIG. That is, in the fluctuation pattern determination table 133, the fluctuation patterns to which the determination value is assigned according to each fluctuation pattern type are classified so as to be included in the fluctuation pattern type.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 of the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 stores various selection data, table data, etc. used to control the progress of the game. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables and the like prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings.

The table data etc. which comprise the fluctuation pattern table are stored.

  FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the special view display result determination table 130 stored in the ROM 101. The special figure display result determination table 130 is variable in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Based on the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" before the finalized special symbol to be the display result is derived and displayed. Is a table to be referenced.

  In the special view display result determination table 130, a gaming state in which probability change control is not performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a low probability low base state or a low probability high base state. In this embodiment, the low probability high base state is not obtained. A game state (for example, a high probability low base state or a high probability high base state) in which a probability change control is performed or a high probability high base state is not achieved in this embodiment. In accordance with the presence or absence of the probability variation control as to whether or not, the numerical value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "losing". In the special figure display result determination table 130, table data indicating decision values assigned to a plurality of types of special figure display results is determined based on whether the special figure display result is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a "big hit". It is the corresponding data for decision.

  In the setting example of the special view display result determination table 130 shown in FIG. 7, in the gaming state in which the probability change control is performed (“with probability change control” in FIG. 7), the gaming state in which the probability change control is not performed is More decision values are assigned to the "big hit" special view display results than "without probability variation control". As a result, when in the definite variation state, the probability that the special view display result is determined to be a "big hit" is higher than when not in the definite variation state.

  In this embodiment, whether it is a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Instead, the special view display result is determined with reference to the same table data in the special view display result determination table 130. On the other hand, depending on whether it is a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. The special-pattern display result may be determined with reference to each table data in which assignment of the determination value to the predetermined special-image display result is made different. Thereby, in the case of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A, and in the case of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B, the special figure The determination ratio of the display result can be made different.

  FIG. 8 shows a configuration example of the big hit type determination table 131 stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table 131 determines the jackpot type to any one of a plurality of types based on the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination, when it is determined to control the special figure display result to the jackpot gaming state as "big hit". Is a table to be referenced. In the jackpot type determination table 131, the special symbol for which variable display is performed in the special figure game is compared with the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination depending on whether the special symbol is the first special figure or the second special figure. A numerical value is assigned to a big hit type such as "first big hit" or "second big hit". As shown in FIG. 8, the jackpot type determination table 131 sets table data for setting the value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 to a value corresponding to the determined jackpot type. May be included.

  In the setting example of the big hit classification determination table 131 shown in FIG. 8, depending on whether the variation special drawing is the first special drawing or the second special drawing, the big hit classification of “first big hit” or “second big hit” The assignment of the decision value to is different. Thereby, the case of determining the jackpot type to any one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special drawing game using the first special drawing by the first special symbol display device 4A. In the case of determining the jackpot type to any one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special drawing game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B, The ratio of determining the jackpot type as "first jackpot" or "second jackpot" can be made different.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, two types of table data in which assignment of determination values to a plurality of types of big hit types is different are prepared, and it is a special drawing game using the first special drawing, or the second special drawing The jackpot type is determined with reference to any of the two types of table data depending on whether the game is a special-figure game using a game, but the method of determining the jackpot type is not limited to this. For example, whether it is a special figure game using the first special figure, or a special figure game using the second special figure, in which one kind of table data having the same assignment of determination values to a plurality of big hit types is prepared. Regardless of the above, the jackpot type may be determined with reference to the same table data.

  FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of the fluctuation pattern type determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, as the variation pattern type determination table, a big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A shown in FIG. A lost fluctuation pattern type determination table (during time saving control) 132C shown in (C) is prepared in advance.

  The jackpot fluctuation pattern type determination table 132A is based on the random pattern value MR3 for the fluctuation pattern type determination according to the judgment result of the jackpot type when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit". Is a table referred to in order to determine one of a plurality of types. In the big hit variation pattern type determination table 132A, a numerical value to be compared with the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern type is determined depending on whether the determination result of the big hit type is "first big hit" or "second big hit". , Fluctuation pattern type CA3-1 to fluctuation pattern type CA3-3 is allocated. In the jackpot fluctuation pattern type determination table 132A, the determination value is assigned to each fluctuation pattern type so that the ratio determined for each fluctuation pattern type is different depending on which of plural types the jackpot type is determined. There is a part. For example, allocation of decision values to variation pattern types CA3-1 to variation pattern types 3-3 is different between the case where the big hit type is "first big hit" and the case where it is "second big hit". As a result, it is possible to make the ratio determined to the same variation pattern type different according to the determination result as to which of the plural types the jackpot type is to be made.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, each variation pattern type is also determined when the big hit type is “first big hit” and also when it is “second big hit”. Although it is obtained, a certain variation pattern type may be determined only if it is a specific jackpot type. That is, the variation pattern type to which the determination value is assigned may be provided to either "first big hit" or "second big hit". Thereby, when it is determined that a certain jackpot type, it is possible to determine a variation pattern type different from the case where it is determined to another jackpot type.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the determination ratio of the variation pattern type is made to differ depending on the big hit type, but the determination ratio of the variation pattern type is not limited to this. For example, the determination ratio of the variation pattern type may be made different depending on the jackpot type and the gaming state. Further, regardless of the jackpot type, the determination ratio of the variation pattern type may be made different according to the game state. Further, the variation pattern type may be determined by a common determination ratio not related to the jackpot type or the gaming state.

  The lost fluctuation pattern type determination table (normal time) 132B and the lost fluctuation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C change the fluctuation pattern type when it is determined that the special figure display result is "lost". It is a table referred to in order to determine any of a plurality of types based on the random number value MR3 for type determination. Here, the lost variation pattern type determination table (normal time) 132B, for example, the gaming state is a low probability low base state or a low probability high base state (in this embodiment, the low probability high base state is not obtained, so the low probability low base It is selected as a use table when it is in the state). On the other hand, the lost fluctuation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C is, for example, high probability since the gaming state is not high probability low base state or high probability high base state (in this embodiment, high probability low base state). It is selected as a use table when it is in the high base state).

  In the lost variation pattern type determination table (normal time) 132B and the lost variation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C, the determination value is assigned to the type of the variation pattern type to which it is assigned, or to the same variation pattern type There are different numbers of decision values. Thereby, when it is in a certain gaming state, it is possible to determine a variation pattern type different from that in the other gaming state. In addition, it is possible to decide fluctuation pattern classification with the decision ratio which responds to game state.

  FIG. 10 shows a configuration example of the fluctuation pattern determination table 133 stored in the ROM 101. The fluctuation pattern determination table 133 is a table referred to in order to determine the fluctuation pattern as any one of a plurality of types based on the random pattern value MR4 for fluctuation pattern determination according to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern type. In the fluctuation pattern determination table 133, numerical values to be compared with the random value MR4 for fluctuation pattern determination are allocated to one or more fluctuation patterns according to the fluctuation pattern type.

In addition to the above, the effect control pattern may include, for example, movable member control data or the like for specifying the content of operation control in the movable member provided inside or outside the game area. The effect control process timer determination value is a value to be compared with the stored value (effect control process timer value) of the effect control process timer provided in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM built in the effect control board 12, and The determination value corresponding to the execution period of each rendering operation is preset. Note that, instead of the effect control process timer determination value, for example, a predetermined effect may be received as a predetermined effect control command from the main substrate 11 or a predetermined process may be executed as a process for controlling an effect operation in the effect control substrate 12 Data indicating the switching timing of the effect control may be set according to the predetermined control content or processing content.

  The display control data includes, for example, data indicating the display mode of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, such as data indicating the variation mode of each decorative pattern during variable display of the decorative pattern. That is, the display control data is data for specifying the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5.

That is, the operation detection control data is data for specifying a rendering operation according to the operation on the operation unit. Note that these control data do not have to be included in all of the effect control patterns, but are effect control patterns configured to include a part of control data according to the contents of the effect operation by each effect control pattern. There may be.

  FIG. 12B is a diagram for describing various effect operations performed in accordance with the content of the effect control pattern. The effect control CPU 120 determines control content of the effect operation according to various control data included in the effect control pattern. For example, when the effect control process timer value matches any of the effect control process timer determination values, the decorative symbol is displayed in a mode designated by the display control data associated with the effect control process timer determination values, and the character Control is performed to display an effect image such as an image or a background image on the screen of the image display device 5. Further, control is made to output sound from the speakers 8L, 8R in a mode specified by the voice control data, and control is made to blink a light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 or decorative LED in a mode specified by the lamp control data. Control is performed to accept the operation on the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B in the operation valid period specified by the operation detection control data, and to determine the content of the effect. In addition, dummy data may be set to data corresponding to a component for effect that is not to be controlled even though it corresponds to the effect control process timer determination value.

  Although the rendering operation shown in FIG. 12 (B) corresponds to the entire period from the start of the variation of the decorative pattern to the final stop, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the variable display of the decorative pattern is performed. An effect control pattern may be provided to execute an effect operation corresponding to a partial period. Alternatively, an effect control pattern may be provided to execute an effect operation corresponding to a predetermined period other than during variable display of the decorative symbol.

  The effect control CPU 120 sets the effect control pattern based on, for example, the fluctuation pattern or the like indicated by the fluctuation pattern designation command, when starting variable display of the decorative pattern, for example. Further, the CPU 120 for effect control sets a corresponding effect control pattern, for example, when starting execution of a predetermined effect such as a preliminary effect or a large hit internal effect.

  The instruction according to the effect control pattern set in this manner is output from the effect control CPU 120 to the display control unit 123, the voice control board 13, and the like. In the display control unit 123 that has received an instruction from the effect control CPU 120, for example, a predetermined VDP or the like reads image data indicated by the instruction from an image data memory such as a CGROM and temporarily stores the image data in the VRAM. Further, in the voice control board 13 or the like that has received a command from the effect control CPU 120, for example, the voice synthesis IC reads out the voice data indicated in the command from the voice data ROM and temporarily stores it in the voice RAM or the like. Let

  The RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2 as an area for holding various data used to control the effect operation, for example, an effect control data holding area 190 as shown in FIG. Is provided. The effect control data holding area 190 shown in FIG. 13A includes an effect control flag setting unit 191, an effect control timer setting unit 192, an effect control counter setting unit 193, and an effect control buffer setting unit 194. There is.

  For example, the effect control flag setting unit 191 can update the state according to the effect operation state such as the display state of the effect image on the screen of the image display device 5 or the effect control command transmitted from the main substrate 11. Flag is provided. For example, the effect control flag setting unit 191 stores, for each of a plurality of types of flags, data indicating the value of the flag and data indicating the on state or the off state.

  The effect control timer setting unit 192 is provided with a plurality of types of timers used to control the progress of various effect operations such as the display operation of effect images on the screen of the image display device 5, for example. For example, the effect control timer setting unit 192 stores data indicating timer values in each of a plurality of types of timers.

  The effect control counter setting unit 193 is provided with a plurality of types of counters used to control the progress of various effect operations. For example, the effect control counter setting unit 193 stores data indicating the count value of each of a plurality of types of counters.

  The effect control buffer setting unit 194 is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used to control the progress of various effect operations. For example, the effect control buffer setting unit 194 stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

  In the present embodiment, data constituting the first start winning command buffer 194A shown in FIG. 13 (B1) and the second start winning command buffer 194B shown in FIG. 13 (B2) is the effect control buffer setting unit 194. Are stored in a predetermined area of The first start winning command buffer 194A is provided with a storage area corresponding to the maximum value of the number of first special image storage blocks. A storage area corresponding to the maximum value of the second special drawing reserve storage number is provided in the second start winning command buffer 194B.

  When there is a start winning to the first start winning opening, a plurality of commands such as a first hold storage number notification command and a winning determination result designation command become one set, and are transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 . When there is a start winning to the second start winning opening, a plurality of commands such as a second hold storage number notification command and a winning judgment result specification command become one set, and are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . A storage area is secured in the first start winning command buffer 194A so that one set of commands transmitted in response to the occurrence of the first start winning can be stored in association with each other. A storage area is secured in the second start winning command buffer 194 B so that one set of commands transmitted in response to the occurrence of the second start winning can be stored in association with each other.

  The effect control CPU 120 stores the command received at the start winning combination in the free space of the first start winning command buffer 194A or the second start winning command buffer 194B according to the reception order. For example, the first hold storage number notification command at the top of the free space in the storage area corresponding to the buffer numbers “1” to “4” of the first start winning command buffer 194A based on the first start winning, the winning judgment result Store in the order of specified commands. On the other hand, when the second pending storage number notification command based on the second start winning and the winning judgment determination result designation command are received, storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers "1" to "4" of the second start winning command buffer 194B. The second hold storage number notification command and the winning judgment result specification command are stored at the top of the free space in the order of the second hold storage number notification command.

  When the first start winning combination and the second start winning combination occur, command transmission is performed in the order of the pending storage number notification command and the winning determination result specifying command. Therefore, if command reception is normally performed, the pending storage number notification command and the winning time are stored in the storage areas corresponding to the buffer numbers “1” to “4” as shown in FIGS. 13 (B1) and (B2). It will be stored in order of the judgment result specification command. In FIG. 13 (B1), commands are stored in storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers “1” to “4”, and in FIG. 13 (B2), storage areas corresponding to buffer numbers “1” to “3” Command is stored.

  The commands stored in the first start winning command buffer 194A and the second start winning command buffer 194B are deleted from those stored in the first storage area each time variable display of decorative symbols is started. And the subsequent memory contents are shifted. For example, when variable display of a new decorative symbol is started corresponding to the start of a special drawing game using the first special drawing in the storage state shown in FIG. 13 (B1), it is stored in buffer number "1". Command is deleted, and each command stored in the area corresponding to buffer number “2” is shifted to the area corresponding to buffer number “1”, and buffer number “3” or “4” Each command stored in the area corresponding to each is shifted to the area corresponding to each of the buffer numbers “2” and “3”.

  With regard to the area corresponding to the buffer number "3" in the second start winning command buffer 194B shown in FIG. 13 (B2), the second special view pending storage number notified by the second pending storage number notification command is " An example is shown in the case where a mismatch occurs due to "1". That is, the buffer number has a larger value than the second special view pending storage number notified by the second pending storage number notification command, and the second special view pending storage number notified from the main board 11 is (2) It is inconsistent with the number of second special view pending storages specified from the storage contents of the start winning command buffer 194B. In addition, since the shift of each command is performed when the variable display of the decorative design is started, it is immediately contradictory even if the buffer number becomes a value smaller than the number of special view pending storage notified by the pending storage number notification command. It must not be. However, differences at the time of reception of a command can be contradictory.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described.

  In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC incorporated in the gaming control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals, and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after executing the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 14 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening via the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S12). After that, by executing predetermined information output processing, for example, data such as jackpot information, start information, probability fluctuation information and the like supplied to the hole management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output (step S13).

  Following the information output process, the game random number updating process for updating at least a part of the gaming random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR5 used on the main substrate 11 side by software is executed (step S14). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S15). In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the display device 4B, opening / closing operation setting of the special winning opening in the special variable winning prize ball device 7 and the like in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process processing, a normal symbol process processing is executed (step S16). The CPU 103 controls the display operation of the normal symbol display 20 by executing the normal symbol process processing, and enables variable display of the normal symbol and tilting operation setting of the movable wing in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, etc. Do.

  After executing the normal symbol process processing, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process (step S17). As an example, in the command control process, among the output ports included in the I / O 105 corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table designated by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, effect control After control data is set in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the substrate 12, predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal, and the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. By setting the switch to the off state, etc., transmission of effect control commands based on settings in the command transmission table is enabled. After executing the command control process, the game control timer interrupt process is ended after setting to the interrupt enabled state.

  FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol process process executed in step S15 shown in FIG. In the special symbol process process shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101). FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing an example of the start winning determination process executed in step S101 of FIG.

  In the start winning determination process shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 103 first performs the first based on the detection signal from the first start opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A. It is determined whether the start port switch 22A is on (step S201). At this time, if the first starting opening switch 22A is on (step S201; YES), the number of first special drawing holding memories, which is the number of holding memories for the special drawing game using the first special drawing, is a predetermined upper limit It is determined whether or not (step S202). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the number of first to-be-stored storages by reading the first to-be-stored storage number count value which is the storage value of the first to-be-stored storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, for example. For example, when the first special figure storage number is not the upper limit value in step S202 (step S202; NO), the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is set to "1", for example ( Step S203).

  When the first start port switch 22A is off at step S201 (step S201; NO), or when the number of first special view storage blocks has reached the upper limit at step S202 (step S202; YES), Whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is on is determined based on a detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B ( Step S204). At this time, if the second starting opening switch 22B is on (step S204; YES), the second special view pending storage number, which is the pending storage number of the special view game using the second special view, is a predetermined upper limit value It is determined whether or not (step S205). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the second special image storage number by reading the second storage number count value, which is the storage value of the second storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, for example. When the second special drawing reserve storage number is not the upper limit value in step S205 (step S205; NO), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 is set to "2" ( Step S206).

  After one of the processes in steps S203 and S206 is executed, the number of to-be-saved special-image storages according to the starting opening buffer value, which is the storage value of the starting opening buffer, is updated to 1 (step S207). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the first pending storage number count value is incremented by one, while when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, the second pending storage number count value is incremented by one. Thus, the first reserved memory number count value is increased by one when the game ball passes through the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special view game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is increased by 1 when the game ball passes through the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special view game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to At this time, the total pending storage number is also updated so as to add one (step S208). For example, the total pending storage number count value, which is the storage value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, may be updated so as to add one.

  After executing the processing of step S208, the CPU 103 determines the random number value MR1 for determining the special view display result and the big hit type from among the numerical data updated by the random counter of the random number circuit 104 and the game control counter setting unit 154. The numerical value data indicating the random number value MR2 for the random number and the random number value MR3 for the determination of the variation pattern type are extracted (step S209). Numeric data representing each random number value extracted in this manner is stored at the head of the empty entry in the special view holding storage unit according to the starting opening buffer value by being set as holding information (step S210). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, numerical data representing random number values MR1 to MR3 are set in the first special image storage unit 151A, while when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, Numerical data representing random number values MR1 to MR3 is set in second special image storage unit 151B.

  The numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type indicate whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit". Used to determine the type of jackpot in the case of "big hit". The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern type is used to determine the variation pattern type to which the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol belongs. The CPU 103 executes the processing of step S209 to select numerical data representing a part or all of the random display value used to determine the variable display mode including the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative pattern or the variable display time. Extract.

  Subsequent to the process of step S210, transmission setting of the pending storage number notification command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (step S211). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the storage control address of the first hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the transmission command buffer in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer, etc. The setting for transmitting the first pending storage number notification command is performed on T12. On the other hand, when the starting port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, etc. The setting for transmitting the second pending storage number notification command is performed. For example, after the special symbol process process is completed, the command control process of step S17 shown in FIG. 14 is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 after the special symbol process process is finished. It is transmitted.

  Subsequent to the process of step S211, it is determined which one of a plurality of previously set numerical ranges the random number value MR1 for special view display result determination indicated by the numerical data extracted by the process of step S209 is included (step S212). In the present embodiment, the range of “8001 to 8437”, the range of “8438” to “11277”, and the range other than these are set in advance as the plurality of numerical value ranges. As an example, in the process of step S212, the minimum value and the maximum value in each numerical value range are set, and which numerical value range is included by comparison with the random value MR1 extracted in the process of step S209. It is sufficient if it can be determined.

  After execution of the processing of step S212, transmission setting of a winning determination result specification command is performed (step S213). FIG. 17 shows a configuration example of the in-winning determination result designation command for which transmission setting is performed in the process of step S213. In the prize determination result specifying command shown in FIG. 17, different EXT according to the determination result as to which of the plurality of numerical ranges the random number value MR1 for special view display result determination extracted in the process of step S209 is included. Data is set. More specifically, the command 9500H is a winning combination determination result first specification command indicating that the random number MR1 is included in the range of "8001" to "8437". The command 9501H is a winning combination determination result second specification command indicating that the random number MR1 is in the range of “8438” to “11277”. The command 9502H is a winning combination determination result third designation command indicating that the random number MR1 is included in a range other than the above.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, regardless of whether or not the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, if the random number value MR1 is any one of "8001" to "8437", The special view display result is determined to be "big hit". Therefore, in the effect control board 12, it is determined that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit gaming state is controlled regardless of whether or not the gaming state is a definite change state, and the first determination command of winning determination result is determined. Designate to be identifiable on the side. If the random number MR1 is any one of "8438" to "11277", the special figure display result is determined to be "big hit" only when the probability variation control is being performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, it is possible to specify on the side of effect control board 12 that the variable display result is "big hit" and it is decided to control to the big hit gaming state when the gaming state is the definite variation state and the second judgment command upon winning a prize is determined. Specify to be The winning combination determination result third specification command specifies that it is possible to specify on the side of the effect control board 12 that the variable display result is “losing” and it is determined that the big hit gaming state is not to be controlled.

  After the process of step S213 is performed, it is determined whether the start port buffer value is "1" or "2" (step S214). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step S214; "1"), the start port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (step S215), step S204. Go to the process of On the other hand, when the starting port buffer value is "2" (step S214; "2"), the starting port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (step S216), The start winning determination process ends. As a result, even when both the first starting opening switch 22A and the second starting opening switch 22B simultaneously detect a starting winning combination of valid gaming balls, it is possible to surely complete the processing based on the detection of both starting starting winning combinations.

  In the start winning determination process, after the process of step S211 is performed, the process of step S213 is performed. After these processes are executed, by executing the command control process of step S17 shown in FIG. 14, the game ball passes through the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening, and the first start condition and the second start condition are obtained. When the start condition is satisfied, two commands, ie, a pending storage number notification command and a winning judgment result specification command, are collectively transmitted in one timer interrupt as one set. In addition, it is not limited to what is collectively transmitted in 1 timer interruption, and one command may be sequentially transmitted by the command control process of step S17 for every timer interruption.

  After executing the start winning determination process in step S101 of FIG. 15, the CPU 103 selects one of the processes in steps S110 to S117 according to the value of the special view process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 And run.

  The special symbol normal processing of step S110 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In this special symbol normal processing, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol is based on the presence / absence of the pending data stored in the first special view pending storage unit 151A or the second special view pending storage unit 151B. A determination is made as to whether or not the special figure game is to be started by the display device 4B. Also, in the special symbol normal processing, whether or not to control the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit", based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special image display result. The variable display result is determined before it is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, the finalized special symbol in the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is set corresponding to the variable display result of the special symbol in the special symbol game . In the special symbol normal processing, when the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is determined in advance, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “1”.

  The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, multiple types of variation pattern types are used using numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determination of the variation pattern type based on the preliminary determination result of whether or not the variable display result is "big hit". And the process of determining the variation pattern to any one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random value MR4 for determining the variation pattern based on the determination result of the variation pattern type, and the like. There is. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variable display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2".

  By the special symbol normal processing in step S110 and the variation pattern setting processing in step S111, a variation pattern including the determined special symbol, the special symbol, and the variable symbol display time of the decorative symbol as the variable display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing are the random number value MR1 for determination of the special figure display result, the random number value MR2 for determination of the big hit type, the random number value MR3 for determination of the variation pattern type, and the random value for variation pattern determination A process of determining a variable display mode of a special symbol or a decorative symbol is included using MR4.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, a process to make settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. For example, every time the special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed, the special figure variation time timer value which is the storage value of the special figure variation time timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153 is decremented by 1 or added 1 The same is true regardless of whether it is a special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A or a special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The timer measures the elapsed time. Further, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Thus, the special symbol variation process of step S112 is the variation of the special symbol in the special symbol game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A, and the second special feature in the second special symbol display device 4B. It is sufficient that the processing of controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special drawing game using the figure is performed by the common processing routine. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3".

  The special symbol stopping process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop process, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol as the variable display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed. It includes the process of setting. Then, it is determined whether the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on or not, and if the big hit flag is on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". Be done. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In this big hit opening pre-processing, waiting time until the end of the execution time of the fanfare effect (effect to notify the start of big hit gaming state, big hit start effect) to be executed on the side of the production control board 12 (big hit start This process includes a process of waiting until the time effect waiting time has elapsed, and a process of starting execution of a round in the big hit gaming state and setting for opening the big winning opening. When the setting for opening the special winning opening is made, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit open processing of step S115 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is “5”. The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. And the like are included to determine whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, the processing of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed, and then the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6". .

  The big hit opening post process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round with the big winning opening opened reached the large winning opening opening frequency maximum value, the winning opening opening frequency maximum value was reached In this case, the process of setting for transmitting the end command is included. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the maximum winning opening open number maximum value, while the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5", when the maximum winning opening opening number maximum value is reached, the special drawing The value of the process flag is updated to "7".

  The big hit end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In this big hit end processing, the waiting time until the end of the execution time of the ending effect (effect to notify the end of the big hit gaming state, also referred to as a big hit end effect) is performed on the side of the effect control board 12 (big hit end It includes a process of waiting until the time effect waiting time has elapsed, a process of performing various settings for starting the probability change control and the time reduction control, and the like. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol normal processing executed in step S110 of FIG. In the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 103 first determines whether the number of second special view reservations is "0" (step S231). The second special figure reservation storage count is the number of reserved storages of the special view game using the second special view by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step S213, the second hold storage count value stored in the game control counter setting unit 154 may be read out, and it may be determined whether the read value is "0".

  When the number of second special view reservations is other than “0” at step S 231 (step S 231; NO), the suspension stored corresponding to the suspension number “1” in second special view suspension storage unit 151 B As data, numerical data representing a random number value MR1 for special image display result determination, a random number value MR2 for large hit type determination, and a random value MR3 for variable pattern type determination are read out (step S232). The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation, and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of step S232, for example, by updating the second reserved memory number count value by decrementing the second reserved memory number count value by one, and updating it so that the second special image reserved memory number is decremented by one, The holding data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the holding number "1" in the part 151B is shifted upward by one entry (step S233). In addition, in the process of step S233, the gaming control counter setting unit 154 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total suspension storage count count value stored in the total suspension storage count counter. At this time, the variation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the variation special figure designation buffer is updated to "2" (step S234).

  If the number of second Tokushu storages is "0" at step S231 (step S231; YES), it is determined whether or not the number of first special maps storage is "0" (step S235). The first special view reservation storage number is the number of suspension storages of the special view game using the first special view by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step S235, the game control counter setting unit 154 reads the first hold storage count value stored in the first hold storage count counter and determines whether the read value is "0". Just do it. As described above, the process of step S235 is executed when it is determined in step S231 that the number of second special view reservations is “0”, and the number of first special views suspension storage is “0”. It is determined whether or not. As a result, the special view game using the second special view starts being executed with priority over the special view game using the first special view.

  When it is determined in step S235 that the number of first special view reservations is other than “0” (step S235; NO), the suspension stored corresponding to the suspension number “1” in first special view suspension storage unit 151A. As data, random number value MR1 for special figure display result decision, random number value MR2 for big hit classification decision and the numerical data which shows random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern category decision, it reads out respectively (step S236). The numerical data read out at this time may be stored, for example, in a random number buffer for variation, and temporarily stored.

  Subsequent to the process of step S 236, the first TOC pending memory number is updated to be decremented by 1, for example, by subtracting the first pending memory number count value and updating, etc. The pending data indicating the random number values MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the pending number "1" in the part 151A is shifted upward by one entry (step S237). Further, in the process of step S 237, the game control counter setting unit 154 may be updated so as to subtract 1 from the total suspension storage count count value stored in the total suspension storage count counter. At this time, the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is updated to "1" (step S238).

  After performing any of the processes in steps S234 and S238, it is possible to use the special figure display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, as a use table for determining whether the "big hit" or "losing" is made. The figure display result determination table 130 is selected and set (step S239). Subsequently, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for determining the special image display result stored in the random number buffer for variation is compared with the determined value assigned to each special image display result of "big hit" or "lost". Then, it is determined whether the special map display result is to be "big hit" or "loss" (step S240). At this time, for example, by confirming the state of a probability variation flag (described later) provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 or the like, it is determined whether or not the probability variation state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the probability variation state Good.

  After the special view display result is determined in step S240, it is determined whether the special view display result is a "big hit" (step S241). Then, if it is determined that the "big hit" (step S241; YES), the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is set to the on state (step S242). At this time, the jackpot type determination table 131 is selected and set as a use table for determining the jackpot type as any of a plurality of types (step S243). By referring to the jackpot classification determination table 131 set in this way, numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot classification determination stored in the random number buffer for variation is each jackpot of “first jackpot” or “second jackpot” In accordance with which of the determination values assigned to the type, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types (step S244).

  Corresponding to the jackpot type determined in the process of step S244, for example, by setting the value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 (step S245), store the determined jackpot type Let As an example, if the big hit type is “first big hit”, the big hit type buffer value may be “1”, and if “big hit”, it may be “2”.

  If it is determined in step S241 that the game is not a "big hit" (step S241; NO) or after the process of step S245 is executed, the result of the predetermination as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state, In response to the determination result of the jackpot type in the game state, the determined special symbol is determined (step S246). As an example, when it is determined that the special figure display result is not a "big hit" in step S241, the special figure display result is "loss" in response to the pre-decision result indicating that the "loss" is made. A special symbol indicating a symbol of "-" is set as the confirmed special symbol. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S241 that the special view display result is "big hit", the "3" or "7" that is the big hit symbol according to the big hit type determination result in step S244. Set one of the special symbols that show numbers to the finalized special symbol. That is, according to the determination result that the jackpot type is "first jackpot", a special symbol indicating a number of "3" which is a 6R jackpot symbol is set as the determined special symbol. Also, according to the determination result that the jackpot type is "the second jackpot", a special symbol indicating the number of "7" that is the 16R jackpot symbol is set as the determined special symbol.

  After setting the finalized special symbol in step S246, the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step S247), and the special symbol normal processing is ended. . If, in step S235, the number of reserved memories of the special drawing game using the first special drawing is "0" (step S235; YES), after performing predetermined demonstration display setting (step S248), the special symbol End normal processing. In this demonstration display setting, for example, whether or not an effect control command for specifying a demonstration display by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 has been transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 Determine At this time, if it has already been sent, the demo display setting is ended as it is. On the other hand, if not sent, the setting for sending the customer waiting demo specification command is made, and then the demonstration display setting is ended.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process executed in step S111 of FIG. In the fluctuation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 19, the CPU 103 first determines whether the big hit flag is on (step S261). Then, if the big hit flag is on (step S261; YES), the big hit fluctuation pattern type determination table 132A is selected and set as a use table for determining the fluctuation pattern type to any one of a plurality of types (step S262). ). Further, for example, by reading the jackpot type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155, it is specified whether the jackpot type is "first jackpot" or "second jackpot" (step S263). .

  When the big hit flag is off in step S261 (step S261; NO), time reduction control is being performed, for example, by determining whether the time short flag (described later) provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on or not. It is determined whether or not (step S 264). When the time saving control is not being performed (step S 264; NO), the lost change pattern type determination table (normal time) 132 B is selected and set as a use table for determining the change pattern type to any one of a plurality of types (step S265). If time reduction control is in progress in step S 264 (step S 264; YES), a loss change pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132 C is selected and set in the use table for determining the change pattern type (step S S266). When one of the processes in steps S265 and S266 is executed, the total pending storage number may be specified, for example, by reading the storage value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154.

  After one of the processes in steps S263, S265, and S266 is executed, it is set in the use table based on, for example, numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for determination of the variation pattern type stored in the variation random number buffer etc. The variation pattern type is determined to be any one of a plurality of types by referring to the variation pattern type determination table (step S 267).

  That is, when the big hit flag is on, the table data corresponding to the big hit type specified by the process of step S263 is selected from the table data constituting the big hit fluctuation pattern type determination table 132A selected in step S262. Then, the variation pattern type to which the determination value corresponding to the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern type is assigned is determined.

  When the big hit flag is off, the lost variation pattern type determination table (normal) 132B selected in step S265 or the lost variation pattern type determination table (during time reduction control) 132C selected in step S265. Then, the table data corresponding to the total number of pending storages is selected, and the variation pattern type to which the determination value corresponding to the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for determination of the variation pattern type is assigned is determined.

  After the variation pattern type is determined in step S267, the variation pattern determination table 133 is selected, and the variation pattern is set as a use table for determining any of a plurality of types (step S268). Subsequently, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be any one of a plurality of types by referring to the fluctuation pattern determination table 133 set in step S268 based on the numerical data indicating the random value MR4 for fluctuation pattern determination (step S269).

  The numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for determining the variation pattern may be extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the random counter of the game control counter setting unit 154 when the process of step S269 is executed, or the first start winning combination The game balls that have passed through the mouth and the second start winning opening are extracted at the time of the start winning being detected, together with random number values MR1 to MR3, in the first special view holding storage unit 151A and the second special view holding storage unit 151B. It may be stored as hold information.

  After the change pattern is determined in step S269, a special view change time which is a variable display time of the special symbol is set (step S270). Specifically, the CPU 103 may set the special figure fluctuation time according to the fluctuation pattern determined in step S269 as the timer initial value of the special figure fluctuation time timer. Since the timer value of the special figure fluctuation time timer is decremented by one every timer interrupt, the value set as the timer initial value is a value based on the interrupt cycle T. For example, if the interrupt cycle is Tms, since the number of occurrences of the interrupt per second is 1000 / T (times), the timer initial value for one second is 1000 / T. For example, if the interrupt cycle T is 4 ms, the timer initial value for one second is "250". The same is true for the timer initial values of other timers (for example, special figure finalized display time timer etc.) on the main substrate 11 side and timer initial values of each timer (for example, notification time limit timer etc.) of the effect control board 12. It is.

  After executing the process of step S270, according to the variation special view designation buffer value, the special view game using the first special view in the first special symbol display device 4A, and the second special in the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to start any of the special drawing games using the figures, setting for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol is performed (step S271). As an example, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variation special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

  Subsequent to the process of step S271, setting for transmitting various commands used for the start of variation of the special symbol is performed (step S272). For example, when the fluctuation special view designation buffer value is “1”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to issue a game state designation command, a first fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a variable display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 In order to sequentially transmit the notification command and the first hold storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the first variation start command table prepared in advance is provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155 The transmission command buffer stores the data in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is “2”, the CPU 103 causes the main board 11 to issue a game state designation command, a second fluctuation start command, a fluctuation pattern designation command, and a variable display result from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 In order to sequentially transmit the notification command and the second pending storage number notification command, setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second variation start command table prepared in advance is designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. In the buffer area. Thereafter, the value of the special view process flag is updated to "2" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step S273), and the variation pattern setting process is ended.

  FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol stop process executed in step 113 of FIG. In the special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 20, the CPU 103 first determines, for example, whether the special view final display flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 or the like is on (step S291). Here, the special view finalization display flag is set to the on state by the processing of step S295 in response to the finalization display of the finalization special symbol as the variable display result in the special view game.

  When the flag for displaying special figure confirmation is off at step S291 (step S291; NO), the CPU 103 performs setting for deriving and displaying the confirmed special symbol (step S292). Subsequently, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a symbol determination designation command to the effect control board 12 (step S293). Subsequently, the CPU 103 sets a special view finalized display time which is a stop display time of the finalized special symbol (step S294). Specifically, CPU 103 sets a special figure determination display time as a timer initial value of the special figure determination display time timer value which is a storage value of the special figure determination display time timer provided in game control timer setting unit 153. Just set it. In the present embodiment, the time related to the fluctuation pattern is the special drawing fluctuation time, and the special drawing determination display time is a time not related to the fluctuation pattern (for example, a fixed time), but in addition to the special drawing fluctuation time The special view determination display time may be a time related to the variation pattern. For example, assuming that the total time of the special figure fluctuation time and the special figure determination display time corresponds to the fluctuation pattern, the timer initial value of the special figure fluctuation time timer and the timer initial value of the special figure determination display time timer according to the fluctuation pattern May be set.

  Subsequent to the process of step S294, CPU 103 sets the flag during special image determination display to ON (step S295), and ends the special symbol stop process.

  If it is determined in step S291 that the flag for displaying special figure confirmation is on (step S291; YES), it is determined whether the special figure confirmation display time has elapsed (step S296). In the process of step S296, for example, it may be determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation time timer in which the timer initial value is set in step S294 has timed out (the special figure fluctuation time timer value has become 0). . If the special figure determination display time has not elapsed in step S296 (step S296; NO), the special symbol stop process is ended, and the process waits until the special figure determination display time has elapsed.

  When the special figure determination display time has elapsed in step S296 (step S296; YES), after the special figure determination display flag is cleared and turned off (step S297), it is determined whether the big hit flag is on or not. It determines (S298). At this time, if the big hit flag is on (step S 298; YES), a big hit start presentation waiting time is set (step S 299). Specifically, a predetermined big hit start waiting time as a timer initial value of the big hit start waiting time timer value which is a stored value of the big hit start waiting time timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153 Just set it.

  Subsequent to the process of step S299, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a hit start designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 (step S300). For example, in the process of step S300, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the hit start designation command table prepared in advance for transmitting the hit start designation command according to the big hit type buffer value is a send command in the send command buffer. It may be stored in the buffer area specified by the pointer.

  Subsequent to the process of step S300, the CPU 103 clears the big hit flag and turns it off (step S301). Subsequently, the CPU 103 sets, for example, a big hit start time flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 or the like to an on state (step S302). Subsequently, the CPU 103 performs setting for ending the time saving state or the probability changing state (step S303). In the process of step S303, for example, the process of clearing the time saving flag or the probability variation flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 and turning it off, or clearing the time saving counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 A process of initializing the count value of the time saving number to "0", a process of clearing the count value of the probability of variation by clearing the probability variation frequency counter, and the like may be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the time saving flag is set to the on state when controlled to the time saving state in which the high release control and the time saving control are performed, and is cleared to the off state when the time saving state ends. That is, when the time saving flag is in the on state, it indicates that the gaming state is in the time saving state, and high open control and time saving control are performed. The probability change flag is set to the on state when controlled to the probability change state in which the probability change control is performed, and is cleared to be turned off when the probability change state ends. That is, the fact that the probability change flag is in the on state indicates that the gaming state is the probability change state, and probability change control is performed. Further, the time reduction counter is a counter for counting the remaining number of times of the special figure game in which the time reduction control and the high release control are performed. The probability variation number counter is a counter for counting the number of remaining times of the special figure game in which probability variation control is performed.

  Subsequent to the process of step S303, setting for transmitting a gaming state designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is performed (step S304). Thereby, the change (transition) of the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be notified to the side of the effect control board 12. In the present embodiment, the game state designation command is transmitted even if the game state does not change even when the game state changes, but when the game state changes (for example, from the time saving state or the probability change state to the normal state) The game state designation command may be transmitted only when the change occurs. In addition, on the side of the effect control board 12, the current gaming state is specified (including the specification that the gaming state has changed) from the contents of the game state designation command transmitted from the main board 11, but in the game state designation command Alternatively, the current game state may be specified by receiving a hit start designation command. In this case, the game state designation command may not be transmitted by the process of step S304 or the like. Thereafter, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step S305), and the special symbol stop process is ended.

  If the big hit flag is off in step S298 (step S298; NO), it is determined whether or not the time saving state or the probability changing state is ended (step S306). For example, in the process of step S306, when the time saving flag is on, the time saving count value, which is the stored value of the time saving counter, is updated by subtracting 1, for example. It is determined whether or not the updated time count value matches the time reduction end determination value (for example, “0”). It may be determined not to end the time saving state if the updated time count value does not match the time reduction end determination value, and it may be determined to end the time saving state if it matches. Further, in the process of step S306, when the probability variation flag is on, the probability variation number count value stored in the probability variation number counter is updated, for example, by subtracting one. It is determined whether or not the count value of the number of times of probability variation after updating matches the probability variation end determination value (for example, “0”). If the count value of the probability variation count after the update does not match the probability variation end determination value, it may be determined not to end the probability variation state, and if it matches, it may be determined to terminate the probability change status. When it is determined that the time saving state is to be ended, the time saving flag is cleared to be in the off state, and the time saving state (time saving control, high release control) is ended. When it is determined that the definite change state is to be ended, the positive change flag is cleared to be in the OFF state, and the positive change state (positive change control) is ended. In the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is assumed to be in either the low probability low base state or the high probability high base state gaming state, so when the time saving flag is on, the probability change flag is on, The initial value set in the probability variation counter so that the time variation flag is off when the time saving flag is off, the time saving flag is on when the probability variation flag is on, and the time saving flag is off when the probability variation flag is off And the initial value set in the time saving number counter are the same value (for example, 100 times) (steps S322 and S323 of the big hit end process).

  Subsequent to the process of step S306, setting for transmitting a gaming state designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is performed (step S307). Thereby, the change (transition) of the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be notified to the side of the effect control board 12. In the present embodiment, the game state designation command is transmitted even if the game state does not change even when the game state changes, but when the game state changes (for example, from the time saving state or the probability change state to the normal state) The game state designation command may be transmitted only when the change occurs. In addition, on the side of the effect control board 12, the current gaming state is specified (including the specification that the gaming state has changed) from the contents of the game state designation command transmitted from the main board 11, but in place of this, the main The present gaming state may be specified by counting the number of times the variable display is executed on the side of the effect control board 12 independently of the side of the board 11. In this case, the game state designation command may not be transmitted by the process of step S307 or the like. Thereafter, the special figure process flag is cleared and the value thereof is initialized to "0" (step S308), and the special symbol stop process is ended.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot opening pre-processing performed in step S114 of FIG. In the big hit opening pre-processing shown in FIG. 21, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the big hit start time flag is on (step S131). Here, the big hit start time flag is set to the on state in response to the big hit flag being on in the special symbol stopping process of step S113 shown in FIG.

  If the big hit start time flag is not on in step S131 (step S131; NO), the special winning opening determination processing (see FIG. 24) is executed (step S220), and the process proceeds to step S138. Thus, in addition to the big hit opening process in step S115, the big winning opening determination process is executed also in the big hit opening post process in step S114 to preferably detect a winning (over winning) exceeding the high winning limit determination value be able to. For example, over prize winning can be suitably detected during the next open standby (while step S 138 (YES)). The special winning opening determination processing will be described later.

  If the big hit start time flag is on in step S131 (step S131; YES), it is determined whether or not the big hit start effect waiting time has elapsed (step S132). In the process of step S132, for example, whether or not the big hit start effect waiting time timer for which the timer initial value is set in step S299 of the special symbol stop process has timed out (the big hit start effect wait time timer value becomes 0 Or not).

  If the jackpot start production waiting time has not elapsed (step S132; NO), the jackpot opening pre-processing is ended. If the jackpot start effect waiting time has elapsed (step S132; YES), the CPU 103 clears the jackpot start flag (step S134). Subsequently, the CPU 103 clears the special winning opening open frequency counter (step S135). Specifically, the special winning opening open frequency count value is initialized to "1". Subsequently, the CPU 103 reads the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit 155 (step S136).

  Following the process of step S136, an open control pattern corresponding to the big hit type buffer value read in step S136 is set (step S137). At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 22A, if the big hit type buffer value is “1”, the release control pattern of the release KP1 is set. On the other hand, if the big hit type buffer value is "2", the release control pattern of the release KP2 is set.

  Following the process of step S137 or the process of step S220, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the next open standby is in progress (step S138). That is, it is determined whether it is in the interval period until the big winning opening is opened as the next round. In the process of step S138, for example, whether or not the round start waiting time timer for which the timer initial value is set in step S366 of the big hit open post-processing timed out (whether the round start waiting time timer value became 0) It is sufficient to determine If the next open standby (step S138; YES), that is, if the interval period has not ended, the big hit open pre-processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if not waiting for opening next time (step S138; NO), that is, if the interval period has ended, the CPU 103 controls the start of the opening of the special winning opening (step S139). For example, the CPU 103 sets an opening time for opening the big winning opening based on the opening control pattern set in step S137 and the count value of the large winning opening opening number counter, and the big winning opening is opened. To set. Specifically, in the process of step S139, the CPU 103 sets the opening control set in step S137 as the timer initial value of the opening time timer value which is the storage value of the opening time timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153. What is necessary is just to set the big winning opening opening time (upper limit time made into an open state) of a pattern. For example, when the release control pattern of the release KP1 shown in FIG. 22B is set, the timer initial value is 29 only when the count value of the special winning opening open number counter is “1” to “6”. When the opening control pattern of the opening KP 2 shown in FIG. 22B is set, for example, the count value of the special winning opening opening number counter is any of “1” to “16”. Also in this case, 29.5 seconds may be set as the timer initial value. Further, in the process of step S139, for example, the solenoid drive signal to a predetermined large winning opening door solenoid is started to be output via a predetermined solenoid circuit, or the like. The mouth door solenoid may be set to the on state.

  Subsequent to the process of step S139, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting the special winning opening open notification command to the effect control board 12 (step S140). Subsequently, the CPU 103 updates the value of the special view process flag to “5” which is a value corresponding to the big hit open process (step S141), and ends the big hit open pre-processing process.

  FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing an example of the big hit open process executed in step S115 of FIG. In the big hit open process shown in FIG. 23, the CPU 103 first determines whether the big winning opening open upper limit time has elapsed (step S121). If the special winning opening opening upper limit time has not elapsed (step S121; NO), the special winning opening determination processing is executed (step S220). 24 shows the big hit open pre-processing of FIG. 21 (step S114), the big hit open processing of FIG. 23 (step S115), the big hit open post processing of FIG. 25 (step S116), and the big hit end processing of FIG. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the special winning opening determination processing performed at.

  In the special winning opening determination process shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 103 first determines whether the detection signal transmitted from the count switch 23 has become on (step S221). When the count switch 23 is not on (step S221; NO), the special winning opening determination processing is ended.

  When count switch 23 is on (step S221; YES), transmission setting of the big winning opening winning notification command for notifying winning of the gaming ball to the big winning opening is performed to effect control board 12 (Step S222). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the value of the special view process flag is "5" which is a value corresponding to the big hit open processing (step S223). If the value of the special view process flag is not "5" which is a value corresponding to the big hit open processing (step S223; NO), the special winning opening determination processing is ended.

  If the value of the special view process flag is "5" corresponding to the big hit open processing (step S223; YES), the number of winnings which is the storage value of the winning number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154 The count value is updated to be incremented by 1 (step S224). Then, the special winning opening determination processing ends. The number-of-winning-pieces count value may indicate the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23 while one round game is being executed.

  It returns to FIG. Subsequently to the special winning opening determination processing shown in FIG. 24, it is determined whether the number-of-winning-items count value has reached a predetermined winning upper limit determination value ("10" in the present embodiment) (step S126). If the winning upper limit judgment value has not been reached (step S126; NO), the processing in the big hit open ends. Here, since the value of the special process process flag is not updated, the process during the big hit open is executed again when the next timer interrupt occurs.

  On the other hand, if the large winning opening opening upper limit time has elapsed in step S121 (step S121; YES), or if it is determined in step S126 that the winning upper limit determination value has been reached (step S126; YES), It is determined that the round game is ended, and an open end control is performed to return the large winning opening in the open state to the closed state (step S127). At this time, setting for stopping transmission of the drive signal to the solenoid 82 may be performed.

  Following the process of step S127, the winning number counter is cleared to initialize the winning number count value to "0" (step 128). Then, after updating the value of the special view process flag to “6” corresponding to the big hit open post-processing (step S129), the big hit open processing is ended.

  FIG. 25 is a flow chart showing an example of the big hit opening post process executed in step S116 of FIG. In the big hit opening post process shown in FIG. 25, the CPU 103 first executes the special winning opening determination process shown in FIG. 24 (step S220). Thus, in addition to the big hit opening process in step S115, the big winning opening determination process is executed also in the big hit opening post process in step S116 to preferably detect a winning (over winning) exceeding the high winning limit determination value. be able to.

  After executing the special winning opening determination processing shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 103 updates so that the special winning opening opening number count value is incremented by 1 (step S364). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the updated special winning opening open frequency count value has become the maximum value (step S365).

  The "maximum value" in step S365 is to be compared with the updated number of times of opening of the special winning opening, and the initial value of the number of times of opening of the special winning opening is "1". The maximum value is a number obtained by adding 1 to the upper limit number of rounds. For example, in the case of the first big hit where the upper limit number of rounds is 6 times, the "maximum value" is "7", and in the case of the second big hit where the upper limit number of rounds is 16 times, the "maximum value" is It is "17". It should be noted that the "maximum value" may be compared with the number of times of opening the number of times of opening before being updated instead of the number of times of opening the number of times of opening after updating. In this case, the “maximum value” may be set as the upper limit number of rounds.

  If the special winning opening open frequency count value is other than the maximum value (step S365; NO), a round start waiting time (interval time) is set (step S366). Specifically, the CPU 103 sets a predetermined round start waiting time as a timer initial value of a round start waiting time timer value which is a stored value of the round start waiting time timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153. Just do it. Subsequently, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a notification command after opening the special winning opening to the effect control board 12 (step S367). After executing the process of step S367, the value of the special process process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step S368), and the big hit opening post-process is ended. Thus, the process of steps S114 to S116 shown in FIG. 15 is repeatedly executed until it is determined in the process of step S365 that the updated special winning opening open frequency count value is the maximum value, thereby achieving a big hit gaming state. It is possible to execute a plurality of rounds in which the big winning opening is opened. Also, by setting the round start waiting time in the process of step S366, the next open standby is performed in the process of step S114 shown in FIG. 15 until the round start waiting time has elapsed (step S138; YES) The next round can be started with a desired interval period.

  When it is determined in step S365 that the big winning opening open frequency count value is the maximum value (step S365; YES), a jackpot end effect waiting time is set (step S369). Specifically, as a timer initial value of the big hit end presentation waiting time timer value which is a stored value of the big hit end presentation waiting time timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153, a predetermined big hit end presentation waiting time as a timer initial value Just set it. Subsequently, a setting for transmitting a hit end designation command to the effect control board 12 is performed (step S370). Thereafter, the value of the special view process flag is updated to "7" which is a value corresponding to the big hit end process (step S371), and the big hit open post-process is ended. As described above, by setting the big hit end presentation waiting time in the process of step S369, the process according to step S117 shown in FIG. The special symbol normal processing of step S110 shown in FIG. 15 can be executed.

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot end process executed in step S117 of FIG. In the big hit end process shown in FIG. 26, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the big hit end effect waiting time has elapsed (S321). In the process of step S321, for example, whether or not the big hit end effect waiting time timer for which the timer initial value is set in step S369 of the big hit open post-processing timed out (the big hit end effect waiting time timer value becomes 0 Or not). If the jackpot end effect waiting time has not elapsed in step S321 (step S321; NO), the jackpot determination processing shown in FIG. 24 is executed (step S220), and the jackpot end processing is ended. As described above, in addition to the big hit opening process in step S115, the large winning opening determination process is also executed in the big hit end process in step S117 to preferably detect a winning (over winning) exceeding the upper limit of the winning upper limit. Can.

  If the jackpot end effect waiting time has elapsed in step S321 (step S321; YES), setting for starting the probability change control is performed (step S322). Specifically, in the process of step S322, the probability variation flag is set to the on state, and an initial value (for example, 100 times) corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game capable of performing probability variation control is set in the probability variation counter .

  Following the processing of step S322, setting for starting the time saving control and the high release control is performed (step S323). Specifically, in the process of step S323, the hour reduction flag is set to the on state, and an initial value (for example, 100 times) corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game capable of executing the time reduction control or the high release control is reduced Set in the counter.

  Subsequent to the process of step S322, setting for transmitting a gaming state designation command from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 is performed (step S324). Thereby, the gaming state after the big hit gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be notified to the side of the effect control board 12. After that, the value of the special process process flag is updated to "0" (step S325), and the execution of the big hit end process is ended.

  In addition, when the setting for starting high open control is performed by big hit completion processing, the process for performing high open control is performed in the normal symbol process process of step S16 shown in FIG. For example, when the time saving flag is on, the ratio for determining that the common drawing display result is “per common drawing” may be higher than when the time saving flag is not on. As an example, the number of determined values (values to be compared with the numerical data indicating the random value MR5 for determining the result of the common drawing display) assigned to “per common drawing” to be referred to when the time saving flag is on is More than the number of decision values (values to be compared with the numerical data indicating the random value MR5 for determination of the common drawing display result) that are assigned to “per common drawing” to be referenced when the time saving flag is not on By using the display result determination table, when the time saving flag is on, the ratio of making the common drawing display result “per common drawing” is higher than when the time saving flag is not on. It is also good. For example, when the time saving flag is on, the variable display time of the normal symbol may be shorter than when the time saving flag is not on. Further, when the time saving flag is on, the tilt control time or the number of tilt controls may be increased more than when the time saving flag is not on.

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

  In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 27 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12 Performs register settings etc. of mounted CTC. Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S72). The timer interrupt flag is set to an on state each time a predetermined time elapses based on, for example, the register setting of CTC. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S72; NO), the process of step S72 is repeatedly performed and the process waits.

  Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt generated every time the predetermined time passes. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. If an interrupt occurs because the effect control INT signal is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable state, but interrupts using the CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state. It is desirable to issue prohibited orders. The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt processing, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, a control signal serving as an effect control command from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 Capture The effect control command fetched at this time is stored, for example, in a effect control command reception buffer provided in the effect control buffer setting unit 194. As an example, when the effect control command has a 2-byte configuration, the first byte and the second byte are sequentially received and stored in the effect control command reception buffer. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on at step S72 (step S72; YES), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be off (step S73), and command analysis processing is executed (step S74). In the command analysis process executed in step S74, for example, various presentation control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 and stored in the presentation control command reception buffer are read and then read. Settings, control, and the like corresponding to the output control command issued are performed.

  After the command analysis process is performed in step S74, an effect control process process is performed (step S75). In the effect control process of step S75, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, the effect With regard to the control content of the rendering operation using various rendering devices, such as the driving operation in the phantom, the determination, determination, setting, and the like according to the rendering control command and the like transmitted from the main substrate 11 are performed.

  Following the effect control process of step S75, effect random number updating process is executed (step S76), and the effect random number is counted by the random counter of the effect control counter setting unit 193 as various random number values used for effect control. The numerical data representing the is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S72.

  FIGS. 28 and 29 are flowcharts showing an example of the command analysis process executed in step S74 of FIG. In the command analysis process shown in FIG. 28, the effect control CPU 120 first confirms the stored contents of the effect control command reception buffer, etc., whereby the received command from the main board 11 transmitted via the relay board 15 is It is determined whether there is any (step S501). At this time, if there is no reception command (step S501; NO), the command analysis process is ended.

  If there is a received command at step S501 (step S501; YES), for example, by checking the MODE data of the received command, it is determined whether or not the received command is the first starting opening winning combination designated command. (Step S502). Then, when it is the first starting opening winning combination designating command (step S502; YES), the first hold storage number notification waiting time is set (step S503). For example, in the process of step S503, a timer initial value predetermined corresponding to the reception waiting time of the first pending storage number notification command is set in the command reception control timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 192. Just do it.

  If it is determined in step S502 that the received command is not the first starting opening winning combination designation command (step S502; NO), it is determined whether the received command is the second starting opening winning combination designation command (step S504). Then, when it is the second starting opening winning combination designating command (step S504; YES), the second holding storage number notification waiting time is set (step S505). For example, in the process of step S505, a timer initial value predetermined corresponding to the reception waiting time of the second pending storage count notification command may be set in the command reception control timer.

  If it is determined in step S504 that the received command is not the second starting opening winning combination designating command (step S504; NO), it is determined whether the received command is a winning result specifying command (step S507). If it is determined in step S507 that the received command is not a winning result specification command (step S507; NO), it is determined whether the received command is a first hold storage number notification command (step S508). Then, when it is the first pending storage number notification command (step S508; YES), the first pending storage number notification waiting time is cleared, for example, by initializing the clock operation by the command reception control timer (step S509). .

  If it is determined in step S508 that the received command is not the first pending storage count notification command (step S508; NO), it is determined whether the received command is the second pending storage count notification command (step S510). Then, when it is the second pending storage number notification command (step S510; YES), the second pending storage number notification waiting time is cleared by, for example, initializing the clock operation by the command reception control timer (step S511) .

  If the received command is a winning result specifying command in step S507 (step S507; YES), or after executing any of the processes in steps S503, S505, S509, and S511, the previous received command is not received. In the process of step S503 for the received command, if the first pending storage number notification waiting time is set, the received command is stored at the head of the free space in the first start winning command buffer 194A (step S512) End the command analysis process.

  If the received command is a winning result specifying command at step S507 (step S506; YES), or if the received command is a variable category command at step S507 (step S507; YES), or steps S503 and S505. , S509, or S511, if the second pending storage count notification waiting time is set in the processing of step S505 for the reception command received immediately before the reception command, After the received command is stored at the top of the free space in the second start winning command buffer 194B (step S512), the command analysis process is ended.

  When the first pending storage count notification command is received together with the first change start command, the pending storage count notification command may not be stored in the first start winning command buffer 194A. That is, it is only required that the effect control command received in response to the occurrence of the start winning can be stored sequentially from the head of the free space in the first start winning command buffer 194A.

  When the second pending storage count notification command is received together with the second change start command, the pending storage count notification command may not be stored in the second start winning command buffer 194B. That is, the effect control command received in response to the occurrence of the start winning may be sequentially stored from the top of the free space in the second start winning command buffer 194B.

  When the reception command is sequentially stored from the top of the free space in the first start winning command buffer 194A, even if the reception command stores the winning result specifying command and the first hold storage number notification command without distinction. Alternatively, the winning result specifying command and the first hold storage number notifying command may be distinguished and stored at the top of the free space in the corresponding storage area.

  Also, when storing the reception command sequentially from the top of the free space in the second start winning command buffer 194B, even if the reception command stores the winning result result specifying command and the second hold storage number notification command without distinction. Alternatively, the winning result specifying command and the first hold storage number notifying command may be distinguished and stored at the top of the free space in the corresponding storage area.

  If the received command is not the second pending storage number notification command in step S510 (step S510; NO), as shown in FIG. 29, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the received command is a hit start designation command It is determined whether or not it is (step S515). If it is the hit start designation command (step S515; YES), the hit start designation command reception flag is set (step S516), and the command analysis processing is ended.

  If it is determined in step S515 that the received command is not a hit start designation command (step S515; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the received command is a hit end designation command (step S517). If it is the hit end designation command (step S517; YES), the hit end designation command reception flag is set (step S518), and the command analysis processing is ended.

  When it is determined in step S517 that the received command is not a hit end designation command (step S517; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the received command is a game state designation command (step S519). If it is a gaming state designation command (step S519; YES), the high probability flag and the high base flag are switched on / off based on the content of the received gaming state designation command (step S520), and the command analysis process is performed. Finish. The high certainty flag is provided, for example, in the effect control flag setting unit 191, and is turned on in response to the definite change state, and switching of the on / off state of the positive change flag on the main substrate 11 side Correspondingly, the on / off state is switched. The high base flag is provided, for example, in the effect control flag setting unit 191, and is turned on in response to the time shortening state, and is used to switch the on / off state of the time shortening flag on the main substrate 11 side. Correspondingly, the on / off state is switched. Specifically, when the gaming state designation command designates the high probability / high base state, the effect control CPU 120 turns on both the high probability flag and the high base flag. If the game state designating command is for designating the high probability low base state, the high probability flag is turned on and the high base flag is turned off. If the game state designating command is for designating a low probability high base state, the high probability flag is turned off and the high base flag is turned on. If the game state designation command is to designate a low probability low base state, both the high probability flag and the high base flag are turned off. In the present embodiment, since the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the gaming state in either the low probability low base state or the high probability high base state, the received game state designating command designates the low probability low base state. It is either a gaming state designation command or a gaming state designation command for designating a high probability high base state.

  If it is determined in step S519 that the received command is not a gaming state designating command (step S519; NO), setting according to the other received commands is performed (step S523), and the command analysis process is ended. .

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process executed in step S75 of FIG. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 30, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a winning effect determination process (step S150). In this prize effect determination process, processing for checking the memory contents (start prize winning command) in the start prize winning command buffer (the first start prize winning command buffer 194A or the second start prize winning command buffer 194B) or A process of determining whether or not the preview effect is performed, a presentation mode, and the like (for example, a display mode of the suspension display), a process of newly displaying the suspension display in the start winning storage display area 5H, and the like are included.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect mode setting process (step S151). The effect mode is a mode when the gaming state is in a gaming state other than the big hit gaming state. As the effect mode, as shown in FIG. 31, there are a normal mode (A mode), a battle mode (B1 mode to B3 mode), and a special mode (C mode). Among these modes, the battle mode (B1 mode to B3 mode) is executed when the holding unit is not generated after the big hit gaming state ends. The special mode (C mode) is executed when a holding train occurs after the big hit gaming state ends. The normal mode (A mode) is executed after the variable display game in the high probability high base state continues 100 times and shifts to the low probability low base state. As the battle mode, three modes of a first daughter battle mode (B1 mode), a second girl battle mode (B2 mode), and a third girl battle mode (B3 mode) are prepared. The battle mode can be selected by the player by the operation of the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B during the ending effect at the end of the jackpot gaming state. The ending effect will be described later. In the battle mode, a battle effect is performed as a selected effect, a special effect is performed in the special mode, and a normal effect is performed in the normal mode. The special rendition is a so-called jackpot standby rendition that continues until it becomes a jackpot.

  In the effect mode setting process, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect mode based on various commands and the like transmitted from the main substrate 11. Specifically, when the hit start designation command is transmitted from the main board 11, the effect mode is once cleared, and when the hit end designation command is transmitted, the effect mode is set again. When the hit control command is transmitted, the effect control CPU 120 specifies a win time judgment result corresponding to a big hit as a win time judgment result specification command stored in the first start winning time command buffer 194A shown in FIG. 13 (B1). When there is no command, the battle mode is set as the effect mode. Also, the battle mode set at this time is any of the first daughter battle mode (B1 mode), next girl battle mode (B2 mode), and third girl battle mode (B3 mode) selected by the player. . On the other hand, when there is a winning determination result specifying command corresponding to a big hit as a winning determination determination result specifying command stored in the first start winning command buffer 194A shown in FIG. 13 (B1), the special mode is set as the effect mode. Do.

  The winning judgment result designated command corresponding to the jackpot is the command 9501H during the positive variation state (high probability high base status or high probability low base status), and the non probability variation state (low probability high base status or low probability low base In the state, it is a command 9500H. For example, in the case where the command stored in the first start winning command buffer 194A in the big hit gaming state is an example shown in FIG. 13 (B1), the winning combination corresponding to the big hit in the storage area corresponding to the buffer number "3". A command 9500H, which is a time determination result specification command, is stored. In this case, the effect mode after the big hit gaming state ends becomes the special mode.

  Furthermore, in the effect mode setting process, it is determined whether or not the first gaming state designating command corresponding to the low probability low base gaming state is transmitted from the main substrate 11 during the high probability high base gaming state. Here, when the first gaming state designation command is transmitted, the high probability high base gaming state 100 times is ended, and the gaming state is a low probability low base state. At this time, the normal mode is set as the effect mode. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S170 to S177 in accordance with the value of the effect process flag provided in the effect control flag setting unit.

  The variable display start waiting process of step S170 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0". For example, in the variable display start waiting process, the image display device 5 is selected based on whether or not a predetermined effect control command (for example, a change pattern specification command, a first change start command, or a second change start command) is received. A process is performed to determine whether or not to start variable display of the decorative symbol in. After performing the above-described processing, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "1".

  The variable display start setting process of step S171 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". For example, in the variable display start setting process, in response to the start of the special view game, in order to perform the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 and other various rendering operations, A process of determining an effect control pattern or the like is performed. After performing the above-described processing, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "2".

  The variable display effect process of step S172 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". For example, in the variable display effect process, a process of executing various effects such as variable display of a decorative pattern is performed based on the effect control pattern determined in the variable display start setting process of step S171. After performing the above-described processing, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "3".

  The process for waiting for a special figure in step S173 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3." For example, in the special processing for waiting for special drawing, processing for stopping the finalized decorative symbol is performed. When a big hit is made, processing for setting fanfare effects is performed, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4". When the player loses the game, a process of controlling the game state is performed, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0".

  The jackpot start process of step S174 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4." For example, in the big hit start process, a process of executing a fanfare effect or a process of setting an effect during opening that is executed when the big winning opening is in an open state is performed. After performing the above-described processing, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "5".

  The process during the round of step S175 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". For example, in the in-round process, a process of executing an effect during opening or a process of setting an effect during closing executed when the big winning opening is in a closed state is performed. After performing the above-described processing, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "6".

  The post-round process of step S176 is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". For example, in the post-round process, a process of executing an effect during closing or a process of setting an effect during opening is performed when it is not the final round, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to “5”. When it is the final round, processing for setting an ending effect is performed, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to "7".

  The jackpot end post-processing in step S177 is executed when the value of the rendering process flag is "7". For example, in the big hit end post processing, processing to execute ending effect and processing to control the gaming state are performed, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0”.

  FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display start setting process executed in step S171 of FIG. In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 32, the CPU 120 for effect control first determines the final stop symbol (decided decoration symbol) by reading the EXT data in the display result designation command etc. (the effect control CPU 120) Step S701). Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect mode determination process (step S702). In the effect mode determination process, the effect mode set in the effect mode setting process of step S151 is determined.

  Subsequently, the CPU for effect control 120 sets an effect control pattern based on the fluctuation pattern, the effect mode, etc. (step S703). That is, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect control pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 and the effect mode determined in step S702 as a usage pattern. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 executes the hold digest process (step S704). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 sets the decorative symbol fluctuation time according to the fluctuation pattern as an initial value of the decorative symbol fluctuation time timer value which is the storage value of the decorative symbol fluctuation time timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 192. Is set (step S705), the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "2" corresponding to the variable display rendering process (step S172) (step S706), and the variable display start setting process is ended.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an example of the variable display effect process executed in step S172 of FIG. In the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 33, the effect control CPU 120 first subtracts 1 from the decorative symbol fluctuation time timer value (step S710), and determines whether the decorative symbol fluctuation time timer value has become 0 or not. (Step S711). That is, it is determined whether or not the decorative symbol variation time timer has timed out (whether or not the decorative symbol variation time has elapsed). When the decorative symbol variation time timer value is not 0 (step S711; NO), the variable display execution control is controlled according to the effect control pattern set as the usage pattern in the variable display start setting process (step S712) During the variable display, the effect processing ends. When the decorative symbol variation time timer value becomes 0 (step S711; YES), the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "3" corresponding to the special processing waiting process (step S173) (step S713), variable While displaying, the rendering process is ended.

  FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing an example of the special figure-per-wait process executed in step S173 of FIG. In special processing per special drawing shown in FIG. 34, CPU 120 for production control first determines whether or not a symbol determination designation command reception flag is set (step S720). When the symbol determination designating command reception flag is not set (step S720; NO), the special figure hit waiting process is ended.

  When the symbol determination designating command reception flag is set (step S720; YES), the effect control CPU 120 clears the symbol determination designating command reception flag (step S721), and stops and displays the determined decoration symbol (step S722). ). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the determined decoration symbol is a big hit symbol (step S723). If the finalized decoration design is not a big hit design (step S723; NO), the value of the rendering process flag is updated to “0” corresponding to the variable display start waiting process (step S170) (step S726), and the special process waiting process Finish.

  If the determined decoration symbol is a big hit symbol (step S723; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the hit start designation command reception flag is set (step S730). That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hit start designation command has been received. When the hit start designating command reception flag is not set (step S 730; NO), the special figure hit waiting process is ended.

  When the hit start designation command reception flag is set (step S730; YES), the effect control CPU 120 clears the hit start designation command reception flag (step S731). Subsequently, the CPU for effect control 120 sets fanfare effect (step S733), updates the value of the effect process flag to "4" corresponding to the big hit start process (step S174) (step S734), and waits for a special image. End the process.

  FIG. 35 is a flow chart showing an example of the jackpot start process executed in step S174 of FIG. In the big hit start process shown in FIG. 35, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the big winning opening open flag is set (step S741). That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special winning opening open notification command has been received. When the special winning opening open flag is not set (step S741; NO), the execution of the fanfare effect set in the special processing-per-wait processing is controlled (step S742), and the big hit start processing is ended.

  When the special winning opening open flag is set (step S741; YES), the effect control CPU 120 clears the special winning opening open flag (step S743), and sets an opening effect (step S744). Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "5" corresponding to the process during the round (step S175) (step S745), and the big hit start process is ended.

  FIG. 36 is a flow chart showing an example of the process during the round executed in step S175 of FIG. In the in-round processing shown in FIG. 36, the CPU 120 for effect control first determines whether the flag after opening the special winning opening is set (step S751). That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the notification command after the opening of the special winning opening has been received. When the flag after opening the special winning opening is not set (step S751; NO), the execution of the effect during opening set in the big hit start processing is controlled (step S752), and the processing in the round is ended.

  If the flag after opening the special winning opening is set (step S751; YES), the CPU 120 for effect control clears the flag after opening the special winning opening (step S753) and sets the effect during closing (step S754) Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "6" corresponding to the post-round process (step S176) (step S755), and the process during the round is ended.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing an example of the post-round process performed in step S176 of FIG. In the round post-processing shown in FIG. 37, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether a hit end designation command reception flag is set (step S760). That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hit end designation command has been received. When the hit end designation command reception flag is not set (step S760; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the big winning opening open flag is set (step S761). That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special winning opening open notification command has been received. When the special winning opening open flag is not set (step S761; NO), the execution of the effect during closing set in the processing during round is controlled (step S762), and the post round processing is ended.

  When the special winning opening open flag is set (step S761; YES), the effect control CPU 120 clears the special winning opening open flag (step S763), and sets an opening effect (step S764). Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "5" corresponding to the in-round process (step S175) (step S765), and the round post-process is ended.

  On the other hand, when the hit end designation command reception flag is set (step S760; YES), the effect control CPU 120 clears the hit end designation command reception flag (step S766), and sets the ending effect (step S767). ). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 sets a predetermined ending effect time as an initial value of the ending effect time timer value which is a storage value of the ending effect time timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 192 (step S768) . Furthermore, the effect control CPU 120 sets a predetermined selection ending introduction effect time as an initial value of the selection ending introduction effect time timer value that is a storage value of the selection ending introduction effect time timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 192. (Step S768). Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "7" corresponding to the big hit end post process (step S177) (step S769), and the round post process is ended.

  FIG. 38 is a flow chart showing an example of the ending effect setting process executed in step S767 of FIG. In the ending effect setting process shown in FIG. 38, the effect control CPU 120 first sets a selection ending introduction effect flag (step S801), and sets a selection ending introduction effect (step S802). Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 checks the start winning combination command buffer shown in FIG. 13 (B1) (step S803), and determines whether or not there is a command corresponding to a big hit as a winning combination determination result command ( Step S804). Whether or not there is a command corresponding to a big hit as a prize determination result command is determined depending on whether or not there is a command 9500H or a command 9501H corresponding to the big hit in the start winning command buffer.

  When there is no command corresponding to the big hit as the winning determination result command (step S804; NO), the effect control CPU 120 performs a selection ending effect setting process (step S805). Further, when there is a command corresponding to a big hit as a winning determination result command (step S804; YES), the effect control CPU 120 performs special ending effect setting processing (step S806). Thus, the effect control CPU 120 ends the ending effect setting process.

  FIG. 39 is a flow chart showing an example of the jackpot end post process executed in step S177 of FIG. In the big hit end post process shown in FIG. 39, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether the selection ending introduction effect flag is set (step S851). If the selection ending effect flag is set (step S 851; YES), the selection ending introduction effect time timer value is decremented by 1 (step S 852), and it is determined whether the selection ending introduction effect time timer value has become 0 Step S853. That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the selection ending introduction effect time timer has timed out (whether or not the selection ending introduction effect time has elapsed).

  When the selection ending introduction effect time timer value is not 0 (step S853; NO), the CPU for effect control 120 controls the execution of the selection ending introduction effect set in the process during the round (step S854), and the big hit ends Finish post processing. When the selection ending introduction effect time timer value becomes 0 (step S853; YES), the effect control CPU 120 clears the selection ending introduction effect flag (step S855), and subtracts 1 from the ending effect time timer value (step S855) Step S856). Furthermore, even when the selection ending effect flag is not set in the process of step S851 (step S851; NO), the ending effect time timer value is decremented by 1 (step S856).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the ending effect time timer value has become 0 (step S857). That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the ending effect time timer has timed out (whether the ending effect time has elapsed). If the ending effect time timer value is not 0 (step S 857; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the setting of the selection ending effect is performed (S 858). Whether or not the setting of the selection ending effect is performed is determined depending on whether the selection ending effect or the special ending effect is set in the ending effect setting process of step S767.

  When it is determined that the setting of the selection ending effect is performed (step S858; YES), the effect control CPU 120 controls the execution of the selection ending effect (step S859). Further, when it is determined that the setting of the special ending effect but not the selective ending effect is performed and the setting of the selective ending effect is not performed (step S858; NO), the CPU 120 for effect control executes the special ending effect (Step S860). Thus, the big hit end post-processing ends.

  If the ending effect time timer value is 0 (step S 857; YES), the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0” corresponding to the variable display start waiting process (step S 170) (step S 861). A mode setting process is performed (step S862). In the effect mode set process, when the execution of the selection ending effect is controlled in the big hit end post process, the effect mode determined during the selection ending effect (combat mode; first daughter battle mode, next girl battle mode, three girls battle mode Set the mode). When the execution of the special ending effect is controlled in the big hit end post processing, the special mode is set. Thus, the big hit end post-processing ends.

  As described above, the effect control CPU 120 executes the selection ending introduction effect in the big hit end post processing, and then executes the selection ending effect or the special ending effect. By the way, during the control of the jackpot gaming state, a command 9500H (without probability change control) or a command 9501H (with probability change control) corresponding to the jackpot as a prize determination result command is sent to the first start winning command buffer 194A in the effect control board 12. When stored, a random number value corresponding to a big hit is stored as a random number value MR1 for determination of a special view display result in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A (see FIG. 11) in the main substrate 11 Become. In addition, the random number value corresponding to the big hit is a random number value to control to the big hit gaming state with the variable display result such as the special symbol in the special figure game as the "big hit", specifically, as shown in FIG. In the case where there is no probability change control, the values are "8001" to "8437", and in the case where there is probability change control, the values are "8001" to "11277". If the random number value corresponding to the big hit is stored in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A during control of the big hit gaming state, after the big hit gaming state ends, variable display of not yet started during the big hit gaming state Due to the pending consumption of the pending memory for storage, a so-called pending train, which is a big hit again, occurs.

  In the present embodiment, there are a pattern in which the selection ending is performed after the selection ending introduction effect is performed, and a pattern in which the special ending effect is performed after the selection ending introduction effect is performed. When the selection ending effect ends, the effect mode shifts to the battle mode (mode B1 to mode B3), and the battle effect is executed. Further, when the special ending effect ends, the effect mode shifts to the special mode (mode C), and the special effect is executed. In the battle mode, a character can be selected in the selection ending effect so that a battle effect corresponding to a desired character such as a player can be selected. In addition, in the case where the holding sequence is not generated, the effect of the pattern in which the selection ending is performed after the selection ending introduction effect is performed is performed, and when the holding sequence is generated, the selection ending special effect is performed after the execution is performed. An effect of the pattern in which the ending effect is executed is executed. Hereinafter, modes of the selection ending introduction effect, the selection ending effect, and the special ending effect will be described.

  First, a pattern in which the selection ending is performed after the selection ending introduction effect is performed will be described. In this pattern, when the effect control CPU 120 starts the execution of the selection ending introduction effect, as shown in FIG. 40A, the eldest character C1, the next female character C2, and the third female character C3 are displayed on the image display device 5. Is displayed. Further, together with these characters C1 to C3, first character information W1 of "select me!" Is displayed. In the selection ending introduction effect, it is suggested that any one of the characters C1 to C3 can be selected by displaying the characters C1 to C3 and the first character information W1 on the image display device 5.

  If the selection ending introduction effect time timer times out and the selection ending introduction effect time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 starts the execution of the selection ending effect following the selection ending introduction effect. When selection ending is started by the effect control CPU 120, as shown in FIG. 40 (B), the eldest daughter character C1 is largely displayed at the center of the image display device 5, and the next female character C2 and the third female character C3 are displayed on the image display device It is displayed small at the left and right lower corners of 5.

  Further, while the selection ending effect is being performed, a controller image P1 imitating the stick controller 31A and a button image P2 imitating the push button 31B are displayed on the right side of the image display device 5. Further, the second character information W2 "switch with lever!" Is displayed above the controller image P1, and the third character information W3 "determination by button" is displayed above the button image P2. . Furthermore, the right arrow image Y1 and the left arrow image Y2 are displayed on the side of the controller image P1, and the down arrow image Y3 is displayed above the button image P2.

  When the player or the like executes an operation of tilting the stick controller 31 in the right direction or the left direction during execution of the selection ending effect, the display positions of the characters C1 to C3 shown in FIG. 40 (B) are switched. For example, when the stick controller 31 is tilted to the right from the state shown in FIG. 40B, the next female character C2 is displayed at the position where the first daughter character C1 was displayed, and the third female character is located where the next female character C2 was displayed. C3 is displayed, and the eldest daughter character C1 is displayed at the position where the third female character C3 was displayed. In the image shown in FIG. 40 (B), arrow images Y1 and Y2 are displayed at the left and right positions of the controller image P1. These arrow images Y1 and Y2 can prompt the player to operate the stick controller 31A. In addition, the characters "switch by lever!" Are displayed in the second character information W2. Therefore, it is informed that the character can be selected from the characters C1 to C3 by the tilting operation of the stick controller 31A in the left and right direction. Furthermore, a down arrow image Y3 is displayed above the button image P2. In addition, in the third character information W3, the characters "determinate with a button!" Are displayed. Therefore, it is informed that the effect corresponding to the character selected by the pressing operation of the push button 31B can be determined.

  After the image shown in FIG. 40 (B) is displayed on the image display device 5, when the ending effecting time timer times out and the ending effecting time elapses, the selected ending effect ends, and the gaming state becomes high from the big hit gaming state Move to a certain high base state. Further, with the transition of the gaming state, a production mode, here a battle mode, is set and a battle production is executed. As the battle mode, there are three modes of a first daughter battle mode (B1 mode), a second girl battle mode (B2 mode), and a third daughter battle mode (B3 mode), and the contents of the battle effect differ depending on these modes.

  For example, in the case of transition to the eldest daughter fighting mode, as shown in FIG. 40C, an eldest daughter fighting effect is performed in which an image in which the first daughter character C1 continues to fly is displayed. When the mode is shifted to the next woman battle mode, as shown in FIG. 40 (C-2), the next woman battle rendition is performed in which an image in which the next woman character C2 continues to fly is displayed. When the mode is shifted to the three-woman battle mode, as shown in FIG. 40 (C-3), a three-woman battle rendition is performed in which an image in which the three-girl character C3 continues to fly is displayed. In each mode, as the variable display game progresses, images corresponding to the respective battle effects are displayed on the image display device 5. The battle mode is continued until 100 variable display games are executed, or the state changes to the big hit gaming state while 100 variable display games are executed. When 100 variable display games are executed after the transition to the battle mode, the transition to the normal mode (A mode) is made. In the normal mode, a normal effect corresponding to the normal mode is performed.

  The battle mode after the end of the jackpot gaming state can be selected by the operation of the player while the selection ending effect is being performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 40 (B), when the ending effect time has elapsed without the push button 31B being pressed in a state where the first daughter character C1 is displayed at the center position of the image display device 5, , Shift to the eldest daughter battle mode corresponding to the eldest daughter character C1. When the pressing button 31B is depressed before the ending effect time elapses in a state where the eldest character C1 is displayed at the center position of the image display 5, when the ending effect time elapses, the eldest character C1 is displayed. Transition to the corresponding eldest daughter fighting mode. Also, when the ending effect time has elapsed without the push button 31B being pressed in a state where the next female character C2 is displayed at the center position of the image display device 5, or the next female character C2 is at the center position of the image display device 5. When the push button 31B is pressed before the ending effect time elapses in the displayed state, the mode shifts to the next woman battle mode when the ending effect time elapses. Also, when the ending effect time has elapsed without the push button 31B being pressed in a state where the third girl character C3 is displayed at the center position of the image display device 5, or the third girl character is at the center position of the image display device 5. When the push button 31B is pressed before the ending effect time elapses in a state where C3 is displayed, the mode shifts to the three-woman battle mode when the ending effect time elapses. In this way, during the high probability high base state, it is possible to execute the battle rendition according to the player's preference.

  Next, a pattern in which the special ending effect is performed after the selection ending introduction effect is performed will be described. In this pattern, when the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the selection ending introduction effect, as shown in FIG. 41A, the first daughter character C1, the second daughter character C2, and the third daughter character C3 are displayed on the image display device 5. Ru. Further, together with these characters C1 to C3, first character information W1 of "select me!" Is displayed. The display up to here is the same as the pattern in which the selection ending is performed after the selection ending introduction effect shown in FIG. 40 is performed.

  In this pattern, when the selection ending introduction effect time timer has timed out and the selection ending introduction effect time has elapsed, the special ending effect is executed without executing the selection ending effect. When the special ending effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 41 (B), a destructive image is displayed in which the display on the image display device 5 is totally broken.

  In the special ending effect, after the broken image shown in FIG. 41B is displayed, the special character DR is displayed at the center of the image display device 5 as shown in FIG. 41C. As described above, the special ending effect is composed of an effect that a destructive image is displayed and an effect that a special character DR is displayed. The special character DR is a character that is very rare to be displayed, and an event that becomes advantageous to the player by being displayed, for example, transition to a big hit gaming state, or a big hit gaming state that is transitioning to 16R big hit It is a character that is highly likely to cause an event such as being in a gaming state. The display of the special character DR on the image display device 5 suggests that a hold-on will occur. Further, in this pattern, although it is suggested that the selection ending introduction effect is executed and any one of the characters C1 to C3 shown in FIG. 41 (A) can be selected, the selection ending effect is not performed. You can not make any choice.

  When the ending effecting time timer times out after the special ending effect is executed and the ending effecting time elapses, the special ending effect ends, and the gaming state shifts from the big hit gaming state to the high probability high base state. During the high probability high base state, the effect mode is set along with the transition of the game state, and the special mode is set here. After that, the special rendition in the special mode set until the holding rendition occurs is executed. The special effect is an effect to be executed subsequently to the special ending effect, and as shown in FIG. 41 (C), an effect to perform an operation to enhance the sense of expectation of the special character DR on the image display device 5 for a big hit. Since the number of times of execution of the variable display game before the occurrence of the holding reunion is one to four times, the total period in which the special effect is performed is a short period.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the selection ending effect may be executed as the big hit game state ending effect. In the selection ending production, as the production in the high probability high base state which shifts after the big hit gaming state ends, the eldest daughter battle rendition in the eldest daughter battle mode, the second daughter battle rendition in the second daughter battle mode, the third daughter combat production in the third daughter battle mode You can choose your desired presentation from the inside. As a result, effects can be performed according to the player's preferences, which contributes to the improvement of interest.

  In addition, after the big hit game state ends, there are times when the retention contingency occurs. When a hold is generated, the game is shifted to the big hit gaming state again, which is advantageous for the player, so the player is usually pleased by the occurrence of the hold. In particular, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the high probability high base state after the end of the big hit gaming state is ended by the digestion of the special figure game of 100 times, it becomes a big hit during the high probability high base state Where it is not guaranteed, the occurrence of the holding group will be a big hit, and the player's pleasure will be even greater.

  On the other hand, when a holding unit is generated, the high probability high base state continues for at most four special drawing games. For this reason, even if the player selects the desired effect in the selection ending effect, if the desired selected effect (combat effect) is completed in a short time, the player is dissatisfied and the interest is reduced. There is a risk of In this respect, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the selection ending effect shown in FIG. 40 is executed when the holding movement is not generated, and the selection ending effect is not performed when the holding movement is generated. There is. For this reason, when the holding train is generated, since the presentation in the high-accuracy high base state is not selected, it is possible to eliminate the situation that the presentation is not executed although the presentation of the preference is selected. Therefore, the decline in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, when a holding train is generated, a special ending effect is performed instead of the selection ending effect. For this reason, since the special ending effect is usually performed while the selective ending effect is performed, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness. Furthermore, the effect to be executed instead of the selection ending is the special ending effect. For this reason, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the holding residencies.

  Moreover, before the selection ending effect is performed, the selection ending introduction effect is performed. Therefore, the player can be made aware that the selection ending introduction effect is to be executed, and the player can be prompted to prepare for selection. Furthermore, the selection ending introduction effect is performed even before the special ending is performed. For this reason, the selection ending introduction effect is executed, and the special ending is performed at the place where the player reminded the player when the selection ending effect is executed, so that it is possible to make the joy to the holding party greater Can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in the above embodiment, the second special drawing is prioritized over the special drawing game using the first special drawing based on the random number value stored in the first special drawing reservation storage unit 151A. A special drawing game using the second special drawing based on the random number value stored in the suspension storage unit 151B is executed. Therefore, even if the random number value corresponding to the big hit is stored in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A, the first special view reserve storage unit when the reserve data is stored in the second special view reserve storage unit 151B. The special figure game based on the random number value corresponding to the big hit stored in 151A is not executed, and there is a possibility that the execution of the special figure game determined to be a big hit may be delayed. In this respect, when a holding link occurs, it is suggested to the player that a random number value corresponding to a big hit is stored in the first special view holding storage unit 151A by executing the special ending effect. it can. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the execution of the special figure game determined to be a big hit is delayed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment, and one of the embodiments described above can solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may have a configuration of part.

  Hereinafter, modifications of the present invention will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment, the occurrence of the hold sequence is determined based on the random number value stored in the first special view hold storage unit 151A. However, the hold is performed based on other conditions. The occurrence of ream may be determined. For example, the occurrence of the holding series may be determined based on the random number value stored in the second special drawing holding storage unit 151B, or in the first special drawing holding storage unit 151A and the second special drawing holding storage unit 151B. The occurrence of the holding sequence may be determined based on the stored random value.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, there is a possibility that a holding series may occur even in the special view game using the second special view based on the random number value stored in the second special view holding storage unit 151B. Therefore, the occurrence of the hold sequence may be determined based on the random number value stored in the second special image hold storage unit 151B. In particular, during the high probability high base state, opportunities for winning to the second starting winning opening become greater than those for the first starting winning opening. Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the special figure game using the second special figure based on the random number value stored in the second special figure holding storage unit 151B is stored in the first special view holding storage unit 151A. It is executed prior to a special drawing game using a first special drawing based on a random number value. For this reason, an opportunity to give the player the pleasure of the holding party by judging the occurrence of the holding party in the special drawing game using the second special drawing based on the random number value stored in the second special drawing holding storage unit 151B. Can contribute to the improvement of interest. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the chances that the selected battle rendition will not be executed.

  In addition, the special drawing game using the first special drawing based on the random number value stored in the first special drawing reservation storage unit 151A is the second special drawing based on the random number value stored in the second special drawing reservation storage unit 151B. There is also a gaming machine which is executed in preference to a special drawing game using. In such a gaming machine, it is preferable to determine the occurrence of a hold series based on the random number value stored in the first special view hold storage unit 151A. In addition, the special drawing game using the first special drawing based on the random number value stored in the first special drawing reservation storage unit 151A and the second special drawing based on the random number value stored in the second special drawing reservation storage unit 151B In the gaming machine in which the used special view game is alternately executed or executed in the order stored in the first special view suspension storage unit 151A and the second special view suspension storage unit 151B, the first special view suspension storage unit It is preferable to determine the occurrence of the hold series based on the random number values stored in the 151A and the second special view hold storage unit 151B. By these determinations, it is possible to accurately determine the occurrence of the holding train.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, after the big hit gaming state ends, the high probability high base state is entered, and the high probability high base state continues a predetermined number of times (up to 100 times in the above embodiment). Do. On the other hand, after the big hit gaming state ends, it shifts to a definite change state (high probability high base state or high probability low base state) at a predetermined rate, or not definite state (low probability low base state or low probability high) There is a pachinko gaming machine that shifts to the base state). Further, among such gaming machines, there are pachinko gaming machines in which the probability variation state continues until the next big hit gaming state, and pachinko gaming machines that continue until the termination condition in which the probability variation state ends is satisfied. Furthermore, in the gaming state (high probability high base state, high probability low base state, low probability high base state, low probability low base state) after the big hit gaming state ends, the game ball passes the specified specified area There is also a pachinko gaming machine that shifts to the jackpot gaming state. Also in these pachinko machines, the present invention may be applied to restrict the execution of the selection effect when the holding train is generated.

  In particular, there is a pachinko gaming machine that usually has a so-called sudden big hit, which usually becomes a non-probable change state after the end of the big hit gaming state with few prize balls during the positive change state. In such a pachinko gaming machine, for example, when a random number value corresponding to a normal big hit is suddenly stored in the second special view reserve storage unit 151B, the selection ending effect is performed but the special effect is not performed. You may

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the special ending effect is performed instead of the selective ending effect when the holding sequence occurs, but the special ending effect may not be performed. When the special ending effect is not performed, for example, among the plurality of effects which can be performed by the selection ending effect, an effect notifying that fixed effect is to be performed may be performed. If the above-described embodiment is referred to, the selection ending effect may be executed when the holding sequence is not generated, and then the battle effect selected by the player in the selection ending effect may be performed. In addition, when a holding train is generated, a specific battle production, for example, a battle notification ending production for notifying that the first daughter battle production is performed may be performed, and then, the first daughter battle production may be performed. Alternatively, after the predetermined ending effect is performed, the first daughter battle effect is not fixed, and the player can not select, but it is sufficient to execute the battle effect randomly selected from among the three battle effects.

  In addition, in the pachinko game machine which moves to the definite change state or the non definite change state after the big hit game state ends, when it changes to the positive change state after the big hit game state ends, the selection ending effect is executed and the positive change state is When the selected battle rendition is performed and transition to the non-deterministic change state is performed, the normal ending rendition may be performed and the normal rendition may be performed during the non-certain change state. The normal effect here is an effect that the player can not select unlike the battle effect. In such a gaming machine, the special ending effect may be executed at all times when a holding sequence occurs, or either the special ending effect or the normal ending effect may be executed. In this case, even when the special ending effect is not performed, the expectation of the occurrence of the holding ream can be maintained.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the specific ending effect is performed when the holding sequence is generated, but the specific ending effect may or may not be performed even when the holding sequence is generated. There may be In addition, when specific ending effect is executed, it is made for pending continuation to occur, but even when specified ending effect is executed, there are cases where pending continuation occurs and cases where it does not occur. May be Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, after the selection ending effect is finished, the battle effect is continuously performed. Instead of this, after the selection ending effect is executed, the dedicated effect is executed the number of times corresponding to the upper limit number of the pending storage number, up to the end of the four variable display games in the above embodiment, The selection effect may be performed after the effect is finished. By executing such an exclusive effect, it is possible to suppress the execution of a selective effect that is less related to the transition to the big hit gaming state, even if the special effect is not executed. When executing special effects, prepare table data such as a dedicated variation pattern table for 4 variable display games after the big hit gaming state is over and table data such as 5 to 100 variation pattern tables. Effect control may be executed. By preparing dedicated table data for the four variations, it is possible to easily execute dedicated effects that fit within a fixed time in the four variable display games. The average fluctuation time may be significantly longer or significantly shorter than the variable display game of 5 to 100 times for the variable display game of 1 to 4 times.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the selection ending introduction effect is performed before the selection ending effect or the special ending effect is performed. Instead of this, the selection ending introduction effect may or may not be executed. Alternatively, as in the selection ending introduction effect, instead of the effect that suggests introduction to the selection ending effect, an introduction effect that suggests introduction to the selection ending effect or the special ending may be executed. In this case, when the selection introduction ending effect is executed, the possibility that the special ending effect will be performed remains, and the sense of expectation for the holding reciprocation can be maintained.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when the holding unit is generated, the special ending effect and the special effect are executed regardless of the type of the jackpot at the holding unit, but the big hit at the holding unit Depending on the type of, the execution mode of the special ending effect and the special effect may be adjusted. For example, when the big hit of the holding series is the 16R big hit, the special ending effect and the special effect may be performed at all times, or the special ending effect and the special effect may not always be performed. In addition, when the big hit in the holding series is the 6R big hit, it is possible to always execute the special ending effect and the special effect or not to always execute the special ending effect and the special effect. Also, depending on when the big hit in the hold series is 16R big hit or 6R big hit, execute the special ending effect and the special effect at a predetermined ratio, and do not execute the special ending effect and the special effect at a predetermined ratio. It is also good. Furthermore, these aspects may be combined. In addition, although the special ending is not performed, the special effect may be performed. The special ending effect may be performed, but the special effect may not be performed.

  Furthermore, in a pachinko gaming machine that shifts to a definite change state or a non definite change state after the big hit gaming state ends, as a pachinko game machine that replaces the relation between the 16R big hit and the 6R big hit with the relation between the positive change state and the non definite change state. It is also good. In a pachinko gaming machine that shifts to a high base state or a low base state after the big hit gaming state ends, the pachinko game in which the relation between the above 16R big hit and 6R big hit is replaced with a high base state and a low base state. It may be a machine. When the gaming state after the big hit gaming state ends becomes the gaming state where the degree of becoming advantageous to the player is different, the pachinko gaming machine to which the relation between the above 16R big hit and 6R big hit is applied It is also good. In addition, when there are three or more game states after the end of the big hit game state, it may be a pachinko gaming machine in which the execution mode of the special ending effect is appropriately adjusted.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, in the case where the holding unit is not generated, the selection ending effect and the selection effect (combat effect) are executed regardless of the type of the big hit. The execution mode of the ending effect and the selection effect may be adjusted. Furthermore, although the selection ending effect is performed, the selection effect may not be performed.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above embodiment, the selection ending effect, the special ending effect, or the big hit gaming state has ended regardless of the type of the big hit gaming state in which the selection ending effect or the special ending effect is executed. It is designed to carry out later selection effects and special effects. Instead of this, the execution mode of the selection ending effect or the selection effect, the special ending effect or the special effect may be adjusted according to the type of the jackpot gaming state in which the selection ending effect or the special ending effect is executed. For example, during the 16R jackpot gaming state, the special ending effect and the special effect may always be performed, or the special ending effect and the special effect may not always be performed. Also, during the 6R jackpot gaming state, special ending effect and special effect may always be executed, or special ending effect and special effect may not always be executed. Further, depending on the 16R big hit gaming state or the 6R big hit gaming state, the special ending effect and the special effect may be executed at a predetermined ratio, and the special ending effect and the special effect may not be executed at the predetermined ratio. Furthermore, these aspects may be combined. In addition, although the special ending is not performed, the special effect may be performed. The special ending effect may be performed, but the special effect may not be performed.

  Furthermore, after the big hit gaming state ends, the big hit gaming state which is the big hit gaming state by the positive variation big hit which shifts to the positive changing state (high probability high base state or high probability low base state) In a pachinko gaming machine where a normal big hit gaming state is set which is a big hit gaming state which is a normal big hit transitioning to a state (low high high base state or low low low base state) The pachinko gaming machine may be replaced with a relationship between the big hit gaming state and the normal big hit gaming state. In a pachinko gaming machine in which a short jackpot gaming state is transitioned to a high base state after the big hit gaming state ends, and a non-time short jackpot gaming state transitioning to a low base state after the big hit gaming state ends, The pachinko gaming machine may be a pachinko gaming machine in which the relationship between the 16R big hit gaming state and the 6R big hit gaming state is replaced with the relationship between the short time big hit gaming state and the non short time big hit gaming state. When the degree of jackpot gaming state becomes advantageous to the player is different, the pachinko gaming machine may be a pachinko gaming machine to which the relationship between the above 16R jackpot gaming state and 6R jackpot gaming state is applied. In addition, when there are three or more types of jackpot gaming states, it may be a pachinko gaming machine in which the execution mode of the special ending effect is appropriately adjusted.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, in the case where no holding sequence occurs, the selection ending effect and the selection effect (combat effect) are performed regardless of the type of the big hit gaming state in which the selection ending effect is performed. However, the execution mode of the selection ending effect and the selection effect may be adjusted according to the type of the jackpot gaming state in which the selection ending effect is performed. Furthermore, although the selection ending effect is performed, the selection effect may not be performed.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when the holding train is generated, the special ending effect and the special effect to be shared are executed regardless of the holding number storing the holding data generated by the holding train. However, the execution mode of the special ending presentation and the special presentation may be adjusted by the holding number in which the holding data generated by the holding train is stored. For example, the special ending effect may be executed when the pending number storing the pending data generated by the pending link is an even number, and the special ending effect may not be executed when the pending number is an odd number. In addition, a special effect may be executed according to the hold number in which the hold data generated by the hold sequence is stored.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the above embodiment continues the high probability high base state for 100 variable display games under the condition that the state does not shift to the big hit gaming state after the big hit gaming state ends, It is good also as a mode of. For example, the high probability high base state may be continued for an appropriate number of times such as 50 times or 200 times. Alternatively, after the jackpot gaming state ends, the variable display game may be changed to a high probability high base state a few times, for example, five times, and the subsequent 95 variable display games may be low probability high base state. In this case, the effect in the high-accuracy high base state may be a predetermined dedicated effect, and the selection effect may be executed in the low-accuracy high base state.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the above embodiment, although the selection request effect is executed to select the selected effect just before the end of the big hit gaming state in the name of the selected ending effect, the selected request effect is Such big hit may be executed at the time other than the end of the game state end. For example, a selection request effect may be executed as an opening effect during the period from the start of the jackpot gaming state to the opening of the special winning opening in the special variable winning prize ball device 7 first, or during the execution of a shallow number of rounds For example, the selection request effect may be performed in one round to three rounds. For example, in the case of executing a selection request effect between 1 round and 3 rounds at the time of 16R big hit, the selection request effect may be executed during the round and the selection request effect may not be performed between rounds. It may be executed continuously during and between rounds. Moreover, you may perform selection request | requirement presentation in the case of the round number which is not continuous, such as the 1st round and the 4th round. Also, the selection request effect may be executed in the round immediately before the end, in particular, the final round. Assuming that super time is taken to execute the selection request effect when executing the selection request effect in the ending effect executed after the big winning opening in the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is closed, the duration of the big hit gaming state There is a concern that the In this respect, by executing the selection request effect before or during the opening of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7, even when taking a long time to allocate the selection request effect, the big hit game state of the digestion time It is possible to suppress the increase in time. In addition, by performing the selection request effect in the final stage of the jackpot gaming state, particularly in the final round, it is possible to prevent the impression of the selected effect (combat effect) from being dimmed. In addition, the explanation necessary for the selection request effect, for example, the description executed in the selection ending introduction effect executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the above embodiment may be performed in the previous round. In this case, it is possible to sufficiently take the explanation time of the selection method of the selection effect while suppressing the lengthening of the jackpot gaming state.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the above embodiment, the selection of the selection effect is executed using the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B, but the selection effect may be selected by another method. . For example, selection may be made only by the stick controller 31A, or selection may be made only by the push button 31B. Alternatively, a plurality of movable movement areas in which movable areas that can be passed at predetermined time intervals are replaced may be formed in the game area, and the selection effect may be selected depending on which movable movement area has passed through within a predetermined determination time You may do so.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the battle effect (selection effect) can be determined from among the three battle effects, but can be determined from among the two or four or more battle effects. You may In addition, the battle effect that can be selected may be increased by clearing the predetermined condition. The predetermined condition may be the number of times the variable display game is executed, the number of transitions to the big hit gaming state, the duration of the game, the number of consecutive variable display games without transition to the big hit gaming state, or the like. For example, when the predetermined condition is the number of times of execution of the variable display game, when the number of times of execution of the variable display game is 0 or more, the first daughter battle effect and the next woman battle effect can be selected. If it can be more than 500 times, the first daughter battle production, the second daughter battle production, and the third daughter battle production become selectable, and the number of executions of the variable display game is 1000 times. It may be made selectable.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, one of the selection ending effect and the special ending effect is performed as the ending effect, but the normal ending effect is performed in addition to the selection ending effect and the special ending effect. You may In this case, when the ending effect is generated, the selection effect is not generated. However, the holding sequence may be generated or the holding sequence may not be generated. In addition, when the normal ending is performed, in the normal ending effect, a holding group indication effect that suggests a holding group may be performed. For example, the logo mark of the gaming machine company may be displayed small, or a specific character such as the special character DR shown in FIG. 41 (C) may be displayed inconspicuously, or the background color may be made colorful, for example. It may be displayed in red. Also, the type of background color may indicate the possibility of holding. In this case, even when the special ending which is likely to be executed when the holding reed occurs is not executed, the sense of expectation for the holding resumption can be maintained.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the selection ending effect is not performed when the holding movement occurs, but if the selection ending effect is not performed when the holding movement occurs. Instead, the execution ratio of the selection ending effect may be reduced. For example, when the holding rendition does not occur, the proportion for which the selection ending effect is performed is 100%, but when the holding ream occurs, the proportion for which the selection ending effect is performed is 10%. It is also good. In this case, it is possible to reduce the rate of occurrence of a situation in which the selected execution period of the battle effect is short or the selected battle effect is not performed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the decrease in the player's interest.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, when executing the selection effect, the ending effect performed during the big hit gaming state is used, and the selection effect is executed as the selection ending effect. Instead of this, the selection effect may be executed as an effect in the first special view game after the big hit game state is over.

  By the way, if a random number value corresponding to a big hit is stored in the pending data of the pending number "1" in the first special view pending storage unit 151A, the pending termination of the first pending storage after the big hit gaming state ends is stored again A so-called one game series is generated as a big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the above embodiment, the execution of the selection ending effect is restricted when the holding train is generated, but the execution of the selection ending effect is performed when one game train is generated instead of the holding train. It may be limited.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, during control of the big hit gaming state, it is determined whether or not to execute the selection effect depending on whether or not the random number value corresponding to the big hit is stored in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A. I have to. On the other hand, for example, in a pachinko gaming machine that executes selection effects in the first special view game after the end of the jackpot gaming state and restricts the execution of the selection effects when one game run occurs. , The first special figure after the end of the jackpot gaming state instead of the aspect to determine whether to perform the selection effect depending on whether or not the random number value corresponding to the big hit is stored in the first special view reserve storage unit 151A In the effect determined when the game is executed, it may be determined whether or not the selected effect is to be performed. Specifically, when setting the effect control pattern when starting the first special drawing game (step S703 in FIG. 32), it may be determined whether or not to execute the selected effect.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment etc. of this invention were described, apparatus structure, data structure, the process shown by the flowchart, the image display apparatus 5, the 1st special symbol display apparatus 4A, the 2nd special symbol display apparatus 4B, and the normal symbol display 20 and various rendering operations including the display operation of the common view reservation display 25C can be arbitrarily changed and corrected without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is provided at the left and right centers of the game area, but the special variable winning prize ball device 7 may be provided on the right or left side of the left and right centers of the game area. In addition, even in the case of arranging at any position of the game area, it is possible to arrange the special variable winning ball device 7 in a form that is likely to cause over winning. For example, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a width (length in the left-right direction) of the maximum size (for example, 135 mm or the like) may be disposed. In addition, the special variable winning ball device 7 may not have a winning opening door, as long as the over winning is unlikely to occur. For example, the special variable winning prize ball device 7 may have a movable wing piece, or may have a movable bottom member on which the gaming ball flows down the top.

  In the above embodiment, the type of the big hit (first big hit, second big hit) is determined based on the value of the random number MR2 for determining the big hit type, but the condition for determining the type of big hit is It is not limited. For example, a specific area may be provided in the vicinity of or inside the special winning opening, and the type of the big hit may be determined based on the game ball entering (passing) the specific area. . For example, in the case of providing the probability variation big hit and the normal big hit, the probability variation big hit may be determined based on the game ball entering the specific area.

  In the above embodiment, the big hit gaming state is controlled based on the big hit symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, but the big hit gaming state is controlled. The aspect to perform is not limited to this. For example, a specific area is provided in the vicinity of the second starting winning opening or inside the second starting winning opening, and is controlled to the big hit gaming state based on the game ball entering (passing) in the specific area You may be there.

  In the above-mentioned embodiment, although a mode which carries out variable display of a plurality of kinds of special symbols, such as a number or a symbol of 0-9, and derives and displays a display result is shown, variable display is not limited to such a mode. For example, the special symbol to be displayed variably may be different from the special symbol to be derived and displayed as the variable display result. In other words, special symbols that are not included in the changing multiple types of special symbols may be derived and displayed as the variable display result, and among the changing multiple types of special symbols, those that are not specially derived displayed as the variable display result May be included. Moreover, it is not necessary to variably display a plurality of types of special symbols, and the aspect may be such that variable display is performed using only one type of special symbol. As a variable display using one type of special symbol, for example, the one type of special symbol may be blinked (may be alternately turned on / off). That is, repetition of lighting and extinguishing may be variable display. And even in this case, the one kind of special symbol may be derived and displayed (lit) at the end, or a symbol different from the one kind of symbol may be derived and displayed at the end It may be In addition, the same applies to variable display of other symbols (for example, a normal symbol, a decorative symbol, etc.).

  For example, in the above, “percentage” is not limited to a relationship such as A: B = 70%: 30% or A: B = 30%: 70%, such as A: B = 100%: 0% It is a concept that also includes a relationship (that is, a concept that includes 100% for one and 0% for the other). Also, when A is said to have a higher proportion than B, this is a concept that also includes cases where A is 100% and B is less than 100%, and B is 0% and A is greater than 0%. is there.

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

  In addition, for example, using a frequency that is a game value of a size specified by recording information of a game recording medium such as a prepaid card or a membership card, a game score for use in a game is awarded and awarded. The present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine in which a player plays a game by driving a game ball enclosed in a game machine into the game area using the game score or the game score given by the game winning.

  In the above description, the game machine uses game media as an example, but the game machine according to the present invention is not limited to a game machine that pays out a game medium as a predetermined number of prizes, but is a game medium such as a game ball The present invention can also be applied to an enclosed game machine that provides a score when the condition for giving a prize is satisfied.

  The program and data for realizing the present invention are not limited to the form of being distributed / provided by a removable recording medium to the computer device etc. included in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the computer device etc. may be previously provided. It may be distributed by pre-installing it in the storage device of.
