Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in the present specification will be described. The term "entry" includes not only winnings where the winning balls are paid out, but also passing to "through chuckers" where there is no winning balls paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as it can identify the type of information through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but preferably it is visual, eg, numbers, letters, symbols And the like. In addition, in the present specification, "identification information" may be referred to as a main gaming symbol / special symbol (special drawing) or a decorative symbol (graphic drawing), but "special symbol (special drawing)" is a main control board It is identification information whose display is controlled on the side, and "decorative symbol (dressing)" is identification information as an effect to be displayed on the sub control board side. “Identifiable information can be displayed” is not limited to any display method. For example, light emission of light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7 segments) (including not only the presence or absence of light but also the difference in color), physical Display (for example, stop display of a symbol drawn on a reel band at a predetermined position) and the like can be mentioned. "Effect" refers to display content that enhances the interest of a game, and includes, for example, identification information change, stop, notice, etc., moving images and pictures such as animations and live-actions, still images such as pictures, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. The "opened state, open state" and "closed state, closed state" are, for example, open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = no prize in the configuration of a general large winning opening (so-called, attacker). It will be easy. Also, for example, a state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an advanced state) projected from the game board (the player side) and a state (hereinafter referred to as the retracted state) retracted into the game board (opposite to the player side) In a configuration (so-called Vero type attacker) capable of taking the above condition, the advancing state = the winning easy state, and the retreating state = the winning non-easiness state. The "random number" is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko gaming machine, and includes pseudo random numbers in addition to narrow random numbers (for example, hard as random numbers Random number, soft random number as pseudo random number). For example, the so-called "basic random number" affecting the outcome of the game, specifically, "winning random number (random number for winning lottery)" associated with the transition of the special game, the variation pattern (or variation time) of the identification symbol is determined "Variation mode decision random number" for doing, "symbol decision random number" which decides stop pattern, and "per hit symbol decision random number" which decides whether or not to shift to specific game (for example probability fluctuation game) after special game be able to. When determining the content of the variation mode or the content of the fixed identification information, it is not necessary to use all these random numbers, and at least one random number which is the same as or different from each other may be used. In addition, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but once in the entrance (for example, starting entrance) which is a trigger for acquiring random numbers. The random number acquired by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a bundle of random numbers such as a winning random number + a variation mode determination random number + a symbol determination random number ... is referred to as a single random number) . Also, for example, one type of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also be another type of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “gaming state” is, for example, a special gaming state in which the special winning opening can be opened, a transition to the special gaming state, a transition to the special gaming state from a non-probability fluctuation gaming state where the lottery probability is a predetermined value. Transition game state with high lottery probability, transition to special game Auxiliary game state with assistance for winning to start slot that becomes transition lottery to special game (so-called, normal symbol time reduction state, for example, variable members are attached to the start slot In the case, the open period of the variable member is long, the open winning probability of the variable member is high, the notification time of the result of the open lottery of the variable member is short, and so on. The “expected average execution time of easily enterable ball games per unit time” assumes a situation in which the symbol variation of the auxiliary gaming symbol is performed continuously (for example, the condition in which the suspension relating to the auxiliary gaming symbol always exists) In this case, it means the ratio of the open period per unit time (for example, 5 minutes) of the variable member attached to the starting opening, but in terms of internal processing, in other words, based on the gaming state mentioned above, When the variable member is attached to the starting opening, long and short of the open period of the variable member (so-called open extension function operation state / non-operation state), winning of the ordinary symbol (auxiliary game symbol) that triggers the opening of the variable member Probability high and low (so-called flat figure high probability state · low probability state), long and short variation time of the normal symbol (auxiliary game pattern) that triggers opening of the variable member (so-called flat figure fluctuation shortening function Operating condition-actuated state), is realized by any one or more combinations of the like. The “game result suggestion effect” is an effect that can notify the result of the game such as the degree of expectation that the symbol variation becomes a big hit, and in this example, an acceleration button effect, a first acceleration button effect, a second acceleration button effect , Etc. The "operation effect" is an effect to be performed when operating an operation member such as the sub input button ASB, and in this example, is a success effect or the like. The “operation effect effective period” is a period in which effects based on the operation can be performed when the operation member such as the sub input button ASB is operated, and in this example, it is a button effective period. The “operation effect invalid period” is a period in which the effect based on the operation is not performed when the operation member such as the sub input button ASB is operated, and in this example, it is a button invalid period. The “demonstration period” is a period having a plurality of operation effect valid periods, for example, a period in which the first acceleration button effect is performed, a period in which the second acceleration button effect is performed, and the like. "Game information suggestion effect" is the effect to be executed during the variation of the decorative symbol, the effect that suggests the result of the game such as the effect that suggests the big hit expected degree, a mini game etc to operate the sub input button ASB It is an effect etc. which is not related to the result of the game of.

That is, after power on of the gaming machine, after performing initialization (not shown), the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button in step 1002, and resets the power supply unit E reset button (RAM clear It is determined whether or not the manager of the game arcade has intentionally performed an operation to clear the contents of the RAM. If Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the contents of the RAM on the side of the main control board M (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB). Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at that timing) At this timing, a command may be set and may be configured to be transmitted in a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, it is stored in the checksum and RAM area recorded at the time of power interruption) Compare with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether the content of the RAM is not normal (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is correctly backed up in the RAM) based on the check result. If Yes in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to the process of step 1004 (the above-described RAM clear process). On the other hand, if the result of step 1010 is NO, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM of the main control board M in step 1012. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at the corresponding timing, or the command is set at the corresponding timing to be described later. It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by a scheduled execution interrupt (for example, a hardware interrupt every about 1.5 ms) related to the main processing on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt cycle is allowed to be T) {as a result, when the execution fixed interrupt timing is reached, the diagram (b) is executed}, and the process proceeds to step 1018. . After the step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number updating processes (for example, an increment process of the random number counter) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

  Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the processing of FIG. 7B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

Next, at step 1600, the main control board M executes special game control processing described later. Next, in step 1997, the main control board M (in particular, the winning ball payout determining means MH) performs a winning ball payout control process (drive control of the winning ball dispensing device KE, etc.) based on the winning opening on which the gaming ball has won. A process for causing the payout control board KH to execute and managing the result is executed. Next, at step 1998, the main control board M executes output processing of an external signal (output of information to an external terminal board, a hall computer HC or the like). Next, in step 1999, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (sends the command set in each process described above to the sub main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. It returns to the processing which had been done.

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

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, at step 1102, the auxiliary game start opening ball determination means MJ 11 -H determines whether the game ball has entered the auxiliary game start port H 10 (flow in, in the case of a gate, passing). In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-H, and the hold ball is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces) Determine if In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21 -H acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, at step 1108, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ 32-H holds the holding ball in a form of setting the random number in the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32b-H together with the information indicating the number of the second holding. Is incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). Also in the case of No in steps 1102 and 1104, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the motorized prize drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, at step 1202, the second main game start opening electric combination opening / closing condition determination means MP21-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H and the electric combination open flag is off. Determine if there is. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the second main game start opening electric combination opening / closing condition determination means MP21-B refers to the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the auxiliary gaming symbol fluctuation flag is It is determined whether or not it is off. If the result of step 1204 is YES, then in step 1206, the second main game start port electric combination open / close condition determination means MP21-B accesses the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-H and holds balls for the auxiliary game symbol Determine if there is. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary gaming symbol determining means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H and refers to the gaming state on the auxiliary gaming side (flag state of auxiliary gaming time short flag) While acquiring, with reference to the lottery table MN41ta-H for auxiliary game symbol determination, the stop design is decided on the basis of the game state of the said auxiliary game side and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the said retention sphere (for example, auxiliary game time short flag Is selected, the winning symbol is selected with high probability as compared to the case where it is turned off), and the temporary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H is temporarily stored.

  Here, the right in the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the same table, in this example, the stop symbols "D0, D1, D2" are present, and the stop symbols to be hit symbols are "D1, D2", which are caused by the respective stops. The release mode of the motorized jackpot that is to be released is, during the non-time reduction game, when the stopped symbol is "D1", the release mode is (0.2 seconds open → closed) and stopped When the symbol is "D2", the open mode is (open for 0.2 seconds → closed for 0.8 seconds → open for 5.0 seconds, closed) (longest open). In addition, in the time reduction game, when the stopped symbol is "D1", the opening mode is (1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed) and stopped When the design is "D2", the opening mode is configured to be (0.2 seconds open → 0.8 seconds closed → 4.0 seconds open → closed). In the non-time reduction game, the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol "D0", and in the time reduction game, the stop symbol is configured to be easy to hit and be a symbol "D1".

  Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game variation mode determining means MN51-H is based on the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (flag state of the auxiliary game time short flag), the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-H auxiliary gaming symbol A predetermined time (for example, 1 second if the auxiliary game time short flag is on, and 10 seconds if the auxiliary game time short flag is off) relating to the fluctuation time of is set. Then, in step 1220, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary gaming symbol variation flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the holding information recorded in the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the holding ball relating to the auxiliary gaming symbol. At the same time, after the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-H, it starts the variation display of the auxiliary gaming symbol on the auxiliary gaming symbol display portion H21g.

  Next, at step 1224, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-H and determines whether or not a predetermined time related to the variation time of the auxiliary gaming symbol has been reached. Do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary gaming symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H in step 1226 to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary gaming symbol, and the acquired auxiliary The stop symbol of the game symbol is fixedly displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. Then, at step 1228, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary gaming symbol fluctuation flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1230, the second main game start opening electric combination opening and closing condition determination means MP21-B, whether the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is "hit" (in this example, D1 · D2) Determine In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B is in the opening mode (for example, in the case of hit symbol "D1") based on the hit symbol on the auxiliary game side. Is 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → open mode which becomes closed in the case of the hit symbol “D2” 0.2 second open, 0.8 second closed, An open mode, which opens for 5 seconds, is determined, and a predetermined time relating to the open time (open / close time) of the electric combination is set in the second main game start opening electric combination open timer MP22t-B. Next, at step 1234, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B turns on the electric combination open flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, in step 1236, the second main game start opening electric combination opening / closing control means MP20-B opens the second main game start opening electric combination B11d of the second main game start opening B10, and shifts to step 1242 . Also in the case of No at step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1242. In this embodiment, when the main game time short flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is a predetermined hit symbol (D2), the time during which the second main game start opening electric combination B11d is kept open is the longest. It is done.

  Next, in step 1242, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start opening electric combination open timer MP22t-B to open the electric combination open time. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in step 1244 and step 1246, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B closes the second main game start opening electric combination B11d, and the auxiliary gaming state is temporary In the flag area of the storage means MB10-H, the motorized part open flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1300).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the case of No at step 1330, the hold control means MJ 30 determines at step 1332 whether or not the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b is off. In the case of Yes in step 1332, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1400). On the other hand, if No in step 1332, the process moves to step 1334.

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

  Incidentally, although storage of the first main game content determination random number and storage of the second main game content determination random number are executed in steps 1308 and 1328, the main game content determination random number is stored in the storage area of the RAM of the main control board. In the case of storing a memory, a dedicated storage area is secured, and only information related to the "main game content determination random number" is stored in the byte storing the information related to the main game content determination random number (various timers It is preferable to configure so as not to store other information such as a value (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, the information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise etc. To prevent it). In addition, with regard to the lottery random number, the change in the gaming state (the gaming state relating to the suspension recorded already) is obtained during the period from when the lottery random number is obtained to when the lottery for the Not only the change but also a change in the gaming state may occur due to the newly generated suspension, so the gaming state at the time of the execution of the lottery for the lottery random number may be unpredictable. It is comprised so that the said lottery random number may be memorize | stored until it performs. In this embodiment, in the non-time shortening gaming state, the command to the sub main control unit SM related to the information on suspension can be transmitted only at the time of holding occurrence according to the first main game, but in the time shortening gaming state Although it was configured to be able to transmit only at the hold occurrence according to the second main game, regardless of which gaming state is the hold related to the first main game or the hold related to the second main game The command may be configured to be transmitted, and in such a case, the sub main control unit SM may be configured to determine whether to use the received command. In this example, the information regarding the hold is not set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM in the case of No in step 1310 or step 1312 and in the case of Yes in step 1332. However, even in such a case, information that a new hold has occurred is configured to be sent to the sub main control unit SM side (in the case where a new hold occurs, step 2502 is always performed). Configured to be Yes).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, in step 1412, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (the second main game variation mode determination means MN51-B) is a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta corresponding to each gaming state. -A (2nd main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B) with reference to the main game symbol acceptance lottery result and the 1st main game content decision random number (2nd main game content decision random number) (especially, fluctuation mode lottery The variation mode of the main game symbols is determined based on the random number), and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

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

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

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

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

  Next, in step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. Do. If Yes in step 1430, in step 1440, the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device activation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB 20b, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1430, the process proceeds to step 1500.

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

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the probability variation counter MP51c to determine whether the counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the count value of the probability variation number counter MP51c. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the probability variation number counter MP51c and determines whether the counter value is 0 or not. If Yes in step 1506, in step 1508, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1510. Also in the case of No in step 1502 or step 1506, the process proceeds to step 1510.

  Next, in step 1510, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the time reduction number counter MP52c to determine whether the counter value is larger than zero. If Yes in step 1510, in step 1512, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts (decrements) the counter value of the time reduction number counter MP52c by one. Next, at step 1514, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the time saving number counter MP52c and determines whether the counter value is zero or not. If Yes in step 1514, in step 1516, the specified game control means MP50 turns off the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specified game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1550). Also in the case of No in step 1510 or step 1514, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550). Thus, in this example, the remaining number of certain variations (the number of remaining symbol variations that will cause the probability variation gaming state to end depending on the number of symbol variation terminations after the end of the special game) and the remaining number of short times (after the special game termination) It is configured to transmit to the sub-control board S the remaining number of symbol variations that will cause the time-saving gaming state to be ended by the symbol variation completion number of. In the present embodiment, the number of probable variations (the value set in the probability variation counter MP51c) and the number of time reductions (the value set in the time reduction counter MP52c) are the same number, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It may be configured to be the number of times.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game operating condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1550 in FIG. First, in step 1552, the condition determination unit MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b to determine whether the condition device operation flag is on. If Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the special game control means MP30 is in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, a specific game flag (main game probability change flag · main game time short flag · auxiliary game time short Turn off the flag). Next, in step 1556, the specific game control means MB30 clears the value of the probability variation number counter MP51c. Next, at step 1558, the specific game control means MB30 clears the value of the time saving number counter MP52c. Next, in step 1560, special game control means MP30 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1562, the special game control unit MP30 turns off the condition device activation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1600). Also in the case of No in step 1552, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of special game control processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag Turn on. Next, in step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information (special game start display instruction command) to the effect of starting a special game to the sub main control unit ( In the control command transmission process of step 1999, the sub main control unit SM side is transmitted), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

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

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

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

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

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination processing after the end of the special game, according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 sets the probability variation counter MP51c a predetermined number of times (181 times in this example). Next, in step 1654, the specified game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specified game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, at step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 sets the time reduction number counter MP52c a predetermined number of times (in this example, 181). Next, in step 1658, the specified game control means MP50 turns on the main game time short flag in the flag area of the specified game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in step 1700, the specific game control means MP50 executes the above-mentioned probability variation short time transmission control process described above, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1997).

  Next, control processing executed on the side of the sub main control unit SM will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 18 is a main flowchart of the sub control board S side (in particular, the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 5D is a process on the side of the sub main control unit SM which is executed after resetting such as when the power is turned on to the gaming machine. That is, when power is supplied to the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub main control unit SM executes an initial process based on the information received from the main side (the main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information When received → Initialize the sub-side RAM, when various information commands are received → Resetting related information at power-off to the sub-side RAM). Thereafter, the process shifts to loop processing in which (f), which is the repetitive processing routine of the sub main control unit SM, is repeatedly executed. Here, when (f) is executed, as shown in the process of (f) in the figure, first, in step 2500, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM performs a hold information management process described later. Run. Next, in step 2700, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2800, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes a decoration symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2900, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes special game related display control processing described later. Next, in step 2999, the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM executes display command transmission control processing (sends the command set by these series of subroutines to the sub sub control unit SS side), End the repeat processing routine.

  As described above, the sub main control unit SM employs a mode in which the sub main routine (S 2500 to S 2 999) is looped after reset. Further, the process of FIG. 5E is an interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line in the main control board M described above is one terminal of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (in this example , NMI terminal) is a processing flow (e). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM receives a command input port from the main control board M side ( Check the input port of the data signal line mentioned above. Then, at step 2006, based on the check result, the sub main control unit SM sends a command sent from the main control board M to the RAM on the sub main control unit SM side (for example, main side information temporary storage means SM11 b). Are temporarily stored, and the process returns to the process that was being performed immediately before this interrupt process.

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the pending information management process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and a command relating to the new hold generation from the main control board M side (first main game symbol or second main It is determined whether or not hold information pertaining to the game symbol has been received. If Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is a drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, A maximum of four for the second main game is added "1". Next, in step 2506, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 temporarily sends a command concerning the new hold success / failure result and stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b. Remember. Next, in step 2508, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 generates hold information (in particular, fluctuation mode group, fluctuation mode random number delimiter information, etc.) based on the hold generation command transmitted from the main control board M side. , Temporarily storing in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. When the information concerning the stop result, the variation pattern group, the variation pattern random number division information is not transmitted from the main side, the information is stored in the temporary storage information temporary storage area in step 2506 or step 2508. Will not be stored temporarily. Next, in step 2509, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the new hold is a hold on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2509, in step 2550, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a first main game winning time prefetching determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2520. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2509, the coating material suspension information display control means SM22 executes, at step 2650, prefetching determination processing at the time of second main game winning, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2520.

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

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

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flow chart of the first main game winning prediction process according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. The present processing is divided into two, processing pertaining to the prohibition condition of the pre-reading lottery and processing pertaining to the pre-drawing lottery. In the prohibition process of the former prefetch lottery, first, at step 2552, the reserve prefetch effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22b and holds the second main game hold (the first main game hold) It is determined whether or not there is a hold) which is prioritized prior to the game player. In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the holding pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storing means SM11 b and judges whether the current gaming state is not the time shortening gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2554, in step 2558, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b and there is a pending with information indicating that the trigger is on pending within the pending It is determined whether there is any. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that has been won in the prize pre-selection lottery (the first main game prize pre-selection lottery, the second main game pre-selection lottery). In the case of Yes in step 2558, in step 2560, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b, and there is no pending which is a big hit in the pending before the new pending. Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2560, the process moves to step 2562.

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

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

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

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flow chart of second main game winning prediction time pre-reading determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. The present processing is divided into two, processing pertaining to the prohibition condition of the pre-reading lottery and processing pertaining to the pre-drawing lottery. In the prohibition process of the former pre-reading lottery, first, at step 2602, the pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b and the current gaming state is the time-saving gaming state or not Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, pending pre-reading effect executability judging means SM26k refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b and there is a pending with information indicating that the trigger is on pending within the pending It is determined whether there is any. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the reserve pre-reading effect executability determination means SM26k refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22 b and determines whether or not there is a big hit pending in the new pending. Determine if In the case of Yes in step 2606, the process moves to step 2608.

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

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

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the figure display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If the result of step 2702 is YES, in step 2704, the clothing display content determination means SM21 n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM 21 b. Next, in step 2706, the drawing display content determination means SM21n (and the notice effect display content determination means SM24n, the reach effect display content determination means SM25n) stores the symbol information (temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means SM11b). With reference to the stop symbol / variation mode pertaining to the main game symbol and the drawing variation content determination lottery table SM21ta, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol {eg, when the stop symbol pertaining to the main game symbol is a big hit symbol Is determined if it is a broken eye pattern such as "7, 7 or 7", and if it is a lost design, it is determined that the looseness order is "1, 3 · 5 etc." and the variation display condition temporary storage means SM21b The preliminary effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, the reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b) is temporarily stored.

  Next, in step 2712, the figure display content determination means SM21 n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21 b, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2800). Transition. Also in the case of No in step 2702, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, at step 2802, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2806, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on a symbol variation flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2809, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the dressing variation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2810. Also in the case of No at step 2802, the process proceeds to step 2810.

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

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

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

  Next, in step 2824, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is the non-time shortening gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2824, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b in step 2826, and the symbol variation currently being executed changes the button continuous hitting effect execution variation (non time shortening game and the first It is determined whether or not the variation time of the symbol variation related to the main game symbol is a part of the variation in which the variation time is 60 seconds. It should be noted that the button continuous hitting effect is not executed redundantly with the button single shooting effect described later (the symbol variation related to the button continuous hitting effect and the symbol variation different from the symbol fluctuation related to the button single shot effect are different). In the case of Yes in step 2826, in step 2850, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 executes the button continuous hitting effect execution processing described later, and shifts to step 2830. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2826, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b in step 2828, and the currently running symbol variation is a button one-shot effect execution variation (non-time shortening game and It is determined whether or not the variation time of the symbol variation related to the first main game symbol is a part of the variation in which the variation time is 60 seconds. In the case of Yes in step 2828, in step 2950, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 executes button one-off effect execution processing described later, and proceeds to step 2830. Incidentally, even in the case of No in step 2824 or step 2828, the processing shifts to step 2830. As described above, in the present embodiment, as the button effect (effect that the effect display mode is changed or the effect result is displayed by the player operating the sub input button), the button continuous hit effect and the single button operation are performed. It has two button effects with the effect. In addition, the execution condition may change the button effect, it may be configured to be able to execute in the time-saving gaming state, and may be configured to be able to be executed in the symbol variation less than 60 seconds. , And may be configured to be able to be executed even when the second main game symbol changes. Further, in the present embodiment, the hold to be executed for the first main gaming side pre-reading lottery is a hold with a big hit, a hold with a loss and a hold of fluctuation time of 60 seconds, and the button effect execution fluctuation Since (the button continuous hitting production execution fluctuation, the button one shot production execution fluctuation) becomes the fluctuation of the symbol which becomes the fluctuation time of 60 seconds of the 1st main game design, the button effect is executed as the pre-reading effect of the 1st main game side It may be configured to be able to execute a pre-reading effect that suggests (for example, the hold display mode of the trigger hold becomes a display similar to the shape of the sub input button, etc.). In this embodiment, although the variation time of the button effect execution variation is 60 seconds, the 60 seconds is an example of the variation time which is a long time, and the symbol variation which is a variation time longer than 60 seconds is provided. The symbol variation that is longer than the 60 seconds may also be a button effect execution variation (for example, as the variation time of 60 seconds or more, the symbol variation may be 60 seconds, 80 seconds, 120 seconds, etc. It may be configured such that the symbol variation that becomes 60 seconds, 80 seconds, and 120 seconds can be a button effect execution variation).

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

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the button continuous hitting effect execution processing according to the subroutine of step 2850 in FIG. First, in step 2851, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the current button continuous hitting effective period (period in which the continuous hitting effect is displayed by pressing the sub input button ASB) It is determined whether the In the case of Yes at step 2851, at step 2852 the notice effect display content determination means SM24n executes a treasure box opening effect (effect to be executed during the button continuous hit effective period, the details will be described later). Next, in step 2853, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM 24 b to determine whether the sub input button ASB is newly input (the sub input button ASB is off → When the on state continues for 0.5 seconds after being turned on, it is determined that the button is pressed for a long time). If Yes in step 2853, in step 2854, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n is an auto-continuous-stroke valid flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (the flag is turned on, and If it is in the button continuous hit effective period, the automatic continuous hit effect is to be executed), and the process shifts to step 2856. Also in the case of No at step 2853, the process moves to step 2856.

  Next, in step 2856, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and determines whether or not the auto consecutive hit effective flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2856, in step 2858, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n executes automatic consecutive hit production, and proceeds to step 2864. Incidentally, the automatic continuous hitting effect is an effect such as an effect which is generated overlapping with the treasure box opening effect by the player holding the sub input button ASB for a long time, and the player holds the sub input button ASB for a long time. In the case of continuing, one continuous hit effect will be continuously executed (effect is generated) every 0.2 seconds. In addition, the effect mode of the automatic continuous hitting effect and the effect mode of the single hit continuous effect to be described later are the same effect mode, and may be collectively referred to as the continuous hit effect. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2856, at step 2860, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b to determine whether or not there is a single press operation on the sub input button ASB When the sub input button ASB turns off and then on again when the on state does not continue for 0.5 seconds and is turned off again, it is determined that a single-shot operation has been performed). In the case of Yes at step 2860, at step 2862, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n executes a single-shot continuous hitting effect, and proceeds to step 2864. The single-shot continuous effect is an effect such as an effect generated by overlapping the treasure box opening effect by the player pressing the sub-input button ASB in a single-shot manner, and the player performs a single-shot on the sub-input button ASB. A single hit effect is performed (an effect is generated) each time the press is performed once. Next, in step 2864, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not a predetermined number of consecutive hit effects have been executed in one button continuous hit effective period. Do. In addition, with the predetermined number of consecutive hits, it is sufficient if the total number of the number of continuous hit effects executed in the automatic continuous hit effect and the number of continuous hit effects executed in the single continuous hit effect is a predetermined number of times, this example Then it has been 10 times. In the case of Yes at step 2864, the process proceeds to step 2868. On the other hand, if No in step 2864, in step 2866, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the end timing of the button continuous hitting effective period (in this example, the button continuous hitting effective period It is determined whether or not 4 seconds after the start timing of In the case of Yes in step 2866, the process proceeds to step 2868, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2830). Next, in step 2868, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n is a result of the treasure box opening effect (for example, "star" appears, "suka" appears, etc. Indicates the degree) and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2830). Note that the jackpot expectation is the rate at which the jackpot fluctuation occurs with respect to the sum of the lost fluctuation and the jackpot fluctuation in which the same rendition will occur (for example, as a result of the opening of the treasure box, the first time is "star", If the appearance rate of the symbol variation, where the second is the "star" and the third is the "suka", is the "big hit fluctuation = 3: 7", the big hit expectation is 70%).

  Further, in the case of No at step 2851, at step 2870, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the current auto consecutive hit accepting period (by long pressing the sub input button ASB It is determined whether or not it is a period in which continuous shooting effects are to be displayed continuously. In the case of Yes at step 2870, at step 2872, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n is an effect that will be executed during a treasure box finding effect (period of valid period of automatic double hit and not valid period of consecutive double hit buttons, details will be described later) Do). Next, in step 2874, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and determines whether the sub input button ASB is newly pressed for a long time. In the case of Yes in step 2874, in step 2876, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n turns on the automatic consecutive hit effective flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the next process (the process of step 2830) Move to). Also in the case of No at step 2874, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2830).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2870, at step 2878, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the auto consecutive hit effective flag is on. Do. In the case of Yes in step 2878, in step 2880, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and whether or not the sub input button ASB is off (long press Or not) may be determined. In the case of Yes in step 2880, in step 2882, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n turns off the automatic consecutive hit effective flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the next process (the process of step 2830) Move to). Also in the case of No in step 2878 or step 2880, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2830).

  Here, the lower part of the same figure is a button effect execution period image figure. In the same figure, it illustrates about the design fluctuation where button consecutive hitting production which is fluctuation time of 60 seconds is executed. First, the sub input button ASB is invalidated for 3 seconds after the start of the symbol variation, and the decorative symbol is varied. After that, the automatic consecutive strike acceptance period is started from the timing three seconds after the start of symbol variation. In addition, at the said timing, the button continuous hit effective period has not started yet. After that, after 2 seconds, the first button continuous hitting effective period starts (the button continuous hitting effective period is provided three times for one symbol variation). As described above, in the present embodiment, the automatic continuous hitting acceptance period is provided prior to the start timing of the first button continuous hitting effective period, and, for example, one second before the start timing of the first button continuous hitting effective period Even if the long press of the sub input button ASB is started, the automatic continuous hitting effect will be started from the start timing of the first button continuous hit effective period. Thereafter, four seconds after the start timing of the first button continuous hit valid period, the first button continuous hit valid period ends, but the automatic continuous hit accepting period continues. After that, the second button continuous hit effective period disappears for 2 seconds from the end timing of the first button continuous hit effective period, and then the second button continuous hit effective period for 4 seconds, and then the button continuous hit for 2 seconds from the end timing of the second button continuous hit effective period It is configured so as not to be a valid period, and then to become a third button continuous hit valid period for 4 seconds. In addition, the automatic hit sequence acceptance period will continue until the end timing of the third button hit valid period. As described above, in the present embodiment, three button continuous hit effective periods are provided in one symbol variation, and the automatic continuous hit acceptance period is two seconds before the start timing of the first button continuous hit effective period. It is provided continuously from the timing to the end timing of the third button continuous hitting effective period, that is, a certain button continuous hitting effective period and the next button continuous hitting effective period (for example, the first button continuous hitting effective period and the second The period that is not the button continuous hit effective period between the button continuous hit valid period) is also the automatic continuous hit accepting period.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of button one-shot effect execution processing according to the subroutine of step 2950 in FIG. First, at step 2952, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the current one-shot button valid period (the operation of the sub input button in the symbol variation in which the button one-shot effect is executed is effective It is determined, for example, whether or not it is a timing 5 seconds after the start of the fluctuation. In the case of Yes in step 2952, in step 2954, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n displays a one-shot button image (for example, a button image displayed as "PUSH") on the effect display device SG. Next, in step 2956, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and any sub input button (sub input button ASB, sub input button BSB-2, or sub input button It is determined whether or not there is an operation of CSB-3). In the case of Yes in step 2956, in step 2958, the notice effect display content determination means SM24 n erases the single-shot button image being displayed and performs a cut-in effect (the action will be displayed by operating the sub input button The effect which suggests the big hit expectation of the design fluctuation inside is executed (for example, it is executed for 3 seconds), it moves to the next processing (processing of step 2830).

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2956, at step 2960, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the one-shot button valid period ends (for example, from the one-shot button valid period start timing) It is judged whether or not it is finished after 3 seconds. If Yes in step 2960, in step 2962, the notice effect display content determination means SM24 n erases the displayed single-shot button image (the cut-in effect is not executed because the sub input button is not operated), and the next process It transfers to (processing of step 2830). Also in the case of No at step 2952 or step 2960, the process proceeds to the next process (the process at step 2830). As described above, in the present embodiment, only the sub input button ASB in which the operation is effective when executing the button continuous hitting effect is only the sub input button ASB, but the operation is effective when the button one-shot effect is performed. The sub input buttons are all sub input buttons (sub input button ASB, sub input button BSB-2 and sub input button CSB-3). Since the sub input button CSB-3 is turned on by pulling it to the front, continuous hitting operation is difficult, and the stroke required for one operation (the distance from the off state to the sensor on) is It is longer than the sub input button ASB and the sub input button BSB-2. Further, the sub input button BSB-2 has a cross shape, and is formed of four buttons (four sensors: "upper", "lower", "left", and "right"), and the player When trying to perform a continuous hit operation, a plurality of the four buttons are pressed simultaneously, and the operation becomes invalid. With such a configuration, only the sub input button ASB button, which is a sub input button formed from one button and having a relatively short stroke necessary for one operation, is used to execute the continuous hitting effect. In addition to being configured to be effective at the time of operation, it becomes a user-friendly gaming machine with good operability, and by configuring continuous hitting operation with only one sub input button, uniform continuous hitting judgment is made It is possible to make a gaming machine that can be implemented and has less burden on the capacity of the sub control board S. Further, in the one-shot button production, there is no problem as long as the sub input button can be operated once, so that all the sub input buttons are enabled.

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of special game related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2900 in FIG. First, at step 2902, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether the special game in progress flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2902, in step 2904, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2904, in step 2910, the background effect display control unit SM23 adds 1 (increment) to the value of the number-of-times counter SM23c2. Next, in step 2912 and step 2914, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the big hit on the effect display device SG The start display is performed (the display is appropriately performed based on the type of the big hit), and the process shifts to step 2916. Also in the case of No at step 2902, the process proceeds to step 2916.

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

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

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

  Next, FIG. 27 is an illustration of a continuous hit effect execution image according to the present embodiment. In the same figure, it illustrates about the case where automatic continuous hitting production is executed in 1 fluctuation of the decoration design where button continuous hitting production is executed. First, the variation of the decorative symbol according to the button continuous hitting effect execution variation (the symbol variation in which the button continuous hitting effect is to be executed) is executed. After that, the automatic consecutive strike acceptance period is started, and the first treasure box discovery effect is executed. The treasure box finding effect is configured to be executed in a period which is an automatic continuous hitting acceptance period and which is not a button continuous hitting effective period. Thereafter, the first button continuous hitting effective period is started, and the first treasure box opening effect is executed. In addition, the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed due to the player holding the sub input button for a long time. The treasure box opening effect is configured to be executed in the button continuous hit effective period. After that, the first button continuous hit effective period ends, and "star" comes out of the treasure box as a result of the first-time effect of opening the treasure box. In addition, there are "stars" and "suka" as the production result of the treasure box opening production, and the total number of "stars" is larger as the presentation result of the treasure box opening production executed three times in one design change, It is constituted so that the big hit expectation of the said design fluctuation becomes high.

  After that, the second treasure box discovery effect is executed. Thereafter, a second button continuous hitting effective period is started, and a second treasure chest opening effect is executed. In addition, the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed due to the player holding the sub input button for a long time. In this example, the player continuously presses the sub input button anew in the second button continuous hitting effective period, but continues to press the sub input button long from the first treasure box opening effect. Even in the second treasure box opening effect, the automatic continuous hitting effect will be executed. After that, the second button continuous hit effective period ends, and “Ska” comes out of the treasure box as a result of the second execution of the chest opening effect.

  After that, the third treasure box discovery effect is executed. After that, the third button continuous hitting effective period is started, and the third treasure box opening effect is executed. In addition, the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed due to the player holding the sub input button for a long time. Although this example shows an example in which the player long-presses the sub input button in the third button continuous hit valid period, the timing is the automatic continuous hit acceptance period before the third button continuous hit valid period. Even if the sub input button is kept pressed for a while, the automatic double hitting effect will be executed at the third treasure box opening effect. After that, the third button continuous hit effective period and the automatic continuous hit acceptance period end, and "star" comes out of the treasure box as a result of the executed third open effect. After that, the total number (big hit expectation degree) of “stars” discovered in the three treasure box staging is displayed. After that, reach effect is executed due to the fact that all the button continuous hit effects are finished.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in the symbol variation in which the button continuous hit effect is executed, three button continuous hit effective periods are provided, and the start timing of the first button effect period Even if the long press of the sub input button (sub input button ASB) is performed immediately before the start timing of the first button continuous hit effective period by starting the automatic continuous hit acceptance period before the first button continuous hit Automatic continuous hitting production will be executed from the start timing of the effective period, and it shall be the automatic continuous hitting acceptance period also in the period other than the button continuous hitting effective period between a certain button continuous hitting effective period and the next button continuous hitting effective period. Thus, the player can continue to press and hold the sub input button (sub input button ASB) to execute all three button consecutive strike valid periods. In periods it is possible to execute the automatic repeated pressing effect, it can be made more user friendly gaming machine. Also, the sub input button CSB-3, which is difficult to perform continuous hitting operation because it is turned on by being pulled to the front, is not valid for button continuous hitting production, and the sub input button ASB for easy continuous hitting operation is enabled for button continuous hitting production By being configured to obtain, it becomes a more user-friendly gaming machine, and by configuring to allow continuous hitting operation with only one sub input button, uniform continuous hitting determination can be performed and the capacity of the sub control board S Can be a game machine with less burden.

  In addition, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the start timing of the automatic hit sequence acceptance period comes before the start timing of the first button hit sequence effective period, whereby the first button hit sequence is performed. Even if the player starts long-pressing of the sub input button ASB during the execution of the treasure box discovery effect before the start of the valid period, the first button continuous hit valid period, ie, the first time by maintaining the long press. The continuous hitting effect will be executed by the treasure box opening effect.

  Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a period other than the button continuous hitting effective period between the button continuous hitting effective periods (for example, the first button continuous hit effective period and the second button continuous hitting effective period Even if the player has stopped pressing the sub input button ASB after the first button repeat valid period ends by also setting the auto repeat acceptance period as the period, the period or second time that is not the button repeat valid period If you press and hold the sub input button ASB again in the button continuous hit effective period, the continuous hit effect will be executed in the second button continuous hit effective period, and even though the sub input button ASB is long pressed while the button effect is produced, the continuous hit effect Is less likely to occur, and a more user-friendly game machine can be achieved.

  In addition, as in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, such a configuration that automatic continuous hitting effects are executed during all the button continuous hitting effective periods by holding the sub input button ASB long is plural times at short time intervals. The button continuous hit effective period of is provided (for example, "first button continuous hit effective period = 4 seconds" → "period that is not button continuous hit effective period = 2 seconds" → "second button continuous hit effective period = 4 seconds" → It is more suitable to apply to the game machine configured as “Period of continuous button hitting effective period = 2 seconds” → “Third button consecutive hitting effective period = 4 seconds”) (Sub-side processing Not to use extra capacity).

(Modification 1 from the present embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, the treasure box opening effect is executed a plurality of times as the effect mode of the button continuous hitting effect, and the effect which suggests the big hit expectation degree of the symbol variation under execution is configured to be executable. The presentation mode is not limited to this. Therefore, such a configuration will be described as a first modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the button continuous hitting effect execution processing according to the subroutine of step 2850 in FIG. 23 in the first modification from the present embodiment. The change from this embodiment is step 2884 (variation 1) to step 2888 (variation 1), that is, after executing the treasure box opening effect in step 2852, in step 2884 (variation 1), the notice effect display content The determination means SM 24 n displays the automatic continuous hitting effective effect on the effect display device SG, and shifts to step 2853. Here, the automatic continuous hitting effective effect is an effect of informing the player that the automatic continuous hit effect is to be executed by long-pressing the current sub input button ASB. Further, after displaying the result of the treasure box opening effect in step 2868, in step 2885 (v. 1), the notice effect display content determining means SM 24 n refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM 24 b and the special symbol is scheduled to stop. It is determined whether the Here, the special symbol is a temporary stop symbol of the decorative symbol, and the symbol is shown to the player as if the symbol fluctuation has been executed several times in a pseudo continuous fluctuation (one fluctuation of the decorative symbol) It is a stop symbol which suggests that fluctuation) is carried out. In addition, in the modification example 1 from this embodiment, as the button continuous hitting effect execution mode, the button continuous hitting effective period is 1 time, the button continuous hitting effective period is 2 times, and the button continuous hitting effective period is 3 types of button continuous hitting effective periods The number of button continuous hitting effects of the number of times is provided (even in the button continuous hitting effects where the number of button continuous hitting effective periods becomes the same, there are different effect modes of a plurality of effect results), and the button continuous hitting effect is The execution mode of the presence / absence of execution and the button continuous hitting effect is determined (may be determined based on the fluctuation mode of the main game symbol or the fluctuation mode of the decorative symbol). Moreover, when comprised in this way, when the button continuous hitting production with many frequency | counts of button continuous hitting effective periods is performed, the big hit expectation is more than the case where button continuous hitting effects with few frequency | counts of button continuous hitting effective periods are performed. It may be configured to be high, or it may be configured such that the number of button continuous hit effective periods is determined to be a big hit when the button continuous hit effect is one. In the case of Yes in step 2885 (variation 1), the notice effect display content determination means SM 24 n stops and displays the special symbol in step 2886 (variation 1) and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2830). On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2885 (variation 1), the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2830).

  Further, after the treasure box is continuously searched for in step 2872, in step 2888 (mod. 1), the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n displays the countdown effect on the effect display device SG, and shifts to step 2874. Here, the automatic continuous hitting effective effect is an effect for notifying the player of the current automatic continuous hitting acceptance period and the number of seconds after which the automatic continuous hitting acceptance period ends.

  Here, the lower part of the same figure is a button effect execution period image figure. The change point from this embodiment is that the number of button continuous hit effective periods is provided three times, once, twice and three times, and as shown in the figure, the number of button continuous hit effective periods is different. In this case, the execution period of the button continuous hitting production and the automatic continuous hitting acceptance period are configured to be different. In addition, the special symbol is stopped in a period which is not a button continuous hit effective period between a certain button continuous hit effective period and a next button continuous hit effective period.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a modification example of the continuous hitting effect execution image diagram according to the first modification from the present embodiment. In the same figure, as in the continuous hitting effect execution image shown in the present embodiment, the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed in one change of the decorative symbol that the button continuous hit effect is executed, and the button continuous hit is effective. The case where the number of periods is three is illustrated. The changes from the present embodiment are that a countdown effect is executed at the time of execution of the treasure box discovery effect, an automatic continuous hitting effective effect is executed at the time of execution of the treasure box opening effect, and an effect result of the treasure box open effect It is to stop the "continuation" symbol which is a special symbol when "continuation" appears. In the first modified example from the present embodiment, when “continuation” appears as a result of the treasure box opening effect, the special symbol is stopped, and then the next treasure box detection effect is executed, and the treasure box If "reach" appears as a result of the open effect, then the reach effect will be executed. In addition, since the big hit expectation is set to be higher as the special symbol is stopped and the pseudo continuous change is executed, the player is expected to see that "next" appears as a result of the treasure box opening effect. In other words, it is configured to be able to increase anticipation that the symbol variation becomes a big hit as the execution start of the reach effect is delayed. In this example, the automatic continuous hitting effective effect is configured to be executed (displayed) only during the button continuous hitting effective period during the execution of the treasure box opening effect, in other words, it is not limited thereto. It may be configured to execute (display) at any time, in other words, it may be configured to always execute (display) in the auto-continuous-stroke accepting period. The countdown effect is configured to display the end timing of the treasure box effect, that is, the time until the start timing of the button continuous hit effective period (the time value displayed decreases as the timing approaches). When the timing is reached, the display is "0 seconds until the start of opening", and the display is erased.

  In the first modification from this embodiment, the special symbol is configured to stop when the effect is "continued" as a result of the treasure box opening effect, but the effect mode of the button continuous hitting effect is limited to this. For example, as a result of the treasure box opening effect, "star" or "suka" appears as in this embodiment, and the big hit expectation of the variation is beaten, and a special symbol is generated separately from the effect effect of the treasure box opening effect. It may be configured to execute an effect that asks whether or not (a pseudo continuous variation is to be performed) whether or not to stop.

  In this example, the treasure box is displayed when a predetermined number (10 in this example) of continuous hitting effects is executed in the button continuous hitting effective period, that is, when a predetermined number of pressing of the sub input button ASB is detected. Although it is configured to display the effect as a result of the open effect, the present invention is not limited to this, and each time the sub input button ASB is pressed once in the button continuous hit effective period in the symbol variation in which the button continuous hit effect is executed If the acquisition can be made (the acquisition point is displayed) and pressing of the sub input button ASB is detected a predetermined number of times, the total of the acquisition points for the predetermined number of times may be displayed. By configuring in this way, the player can expect that the symbol variation will be a big hit every time the winning points are displayed, and the interest of the game will be improved.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the first modification from this embodiment, the special symbol can be stopped and displayed at the time of executing the button continuous hitting effect, and the timing at which the execution of the reach effect is late The player is expected to have a sense of expectation that the special symbol is stopped and displayed, and desires that the execution timing of the reach effect to be executed will be delayed by configuring so that the big hit expectation of the symbol variation under execution becomes high. It will be possible to create innovative gameplay.

  In the first modification of this embodiment, the variation time of the symbol variation is set to 60 seconds regardless of the number of times the pseudo continuous variation is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a button In the pattern variation in which the continuous hitting effect is executed, the variation period of the symbol variation in which the pseudo continuous variation is executed once is 60 seconds, the variation period of the symbol variation in which the pseudo continuous variation is executed twice is 80 seconds, the pseudo continuous variation is The variation of the symbol variation performed three times may be 120 seconds, and the variation time may be longer as the number of times the pseudo continuous variation is performed is larger. By configuring as such, even when the number of times of execution of the pseudo continuous variation is large, it is possible to secure the effect execution time of the super reach effect or the like.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the interval between continuous hitting effects of automatic continuous hitting effects executed by long-pressing the sub input button ASB (in the present embodiment, the continuous hitting effects are once every 0.2 seconds). May be configured to allow the player to change. As an example of a specific change method, when the variation of the main game pattern is not executed and the special game is not in progress (or in the middle of a small hit), by pressing the sub input button ASB, the automatic consecutive hitting interval adjustment mode (It is displayed on the effect display device SG that it is possible to change the interval of continuous hitting production of automatic continuous hitting production), and by operating the sub input button BSB-2 in the automatic continuous hitting interval adjustment mode, automatic continuous hitting production The interval of the continuous hit effect of may be changed, and the interval of the continuous hit effect of the automatic continuous hit effect changed by pressing the sub input button ASB may be determined, or the variation of the main game symbol is executed. When not in the special game (or during a small hit), by pressing and holding the sub-input button ASB, it shifts to the automatic consecutive hitting interval adjustment mode, The player continuously hits the sub input button ASB in the continuous hit interval adjustment mode, and the interval between the continuous hits measured for a predetermined time is determined as the hit interval of the automatic hit effect (for example, the sub input by the player in 3 seconds The total number of times the button ASB is pressed may be measured to calculate the average of the consecutive hit intervals per shot).

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the automatic continuous hitting effect can be executed by long-pressing the sub input button ASB, that is, the sub input button ASB is switched from off to on, and the on is for a predetermined time In the example, it is configured to be able to start the automatic continuous hitting when continuing for 0.5 seconds, but it is not limited to this, and the automatic continuous hitting dedicated button which is a dedicated sub input button for executing the automatic continuous hitting is provided. May be Specifically, when the automatic continuous hitting dedicated button is pressed in the button continuous hitting effective period, the automatic continuous hitting effect will be started when the automatic continuous hitting dedicated button is switched from OFF to ON.

Second Embodiment
Here, in the present embodiment, in one symbol variation execution period, the effective period (button effective period) of the sub input button is present a plurality of times, and the sub input button is kept pressed. Thus, although the automatic hit sequence effect is configured to be executable, the game characteristics of the gaming machine in which the effective period of the sub input button exists a plurality of times is not limited to the above-described configuration. Therefore, such a configuration is described as a second embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 30 is a main flowchart on the side of the sub main control unit SM in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 2010 (second), step 3100 (second) and step 4002 (second) to step 4018 (second), that is, in step 2900, special game related display control After executing the processing, in step 2010 (second), the sub control board S refers to the preliminary presentation related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the button production execution permission flag (when it is turned on, the acceleration button effect described later is executed It is determined whether the flag to be turned on and turned on at step 3214). If Yes in step 2010 (second), in step 3100 (second), the sub control board S executes an acceleration button effect execution control process, which will be described later, and shifts to step 2999. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2010 (second), the process moves to step 2999. Also, the process of FIG. 6G is a timer interrupt process of the sub main control unit SM, which differs from the interrupt process when the NMI interrupt described above occurs (when the STB signal line is turned on), and is constant. Interrupt processing that occurs on The cycle of the timer interrupt process is shorter than the cycle of executing the sub main routine (for example, while the sub main routine is executed every 16 ms, the timer interrupt process is executed every 1 ms). ). To describe the timer interrupt process in detail, first, at step 4002 (second), the sub main control unit SM initializes the register of the CPU of the sub main control unit SM. Next, in step 4004 (second), the sub main control unit SM executes output processing of a solenoid or a motor used for a movable part or the like. Next, in step 4006 (second), the sub main control unit SM executes the update of the input state when the sub input button ASB is operated (for example, pressed, long pressed, etc.). Next, in step 4008 (second), the sub main control unit SM updates various timers managed on the sub side (for example, button effect remaining time timer SM 24 t, button effect in-progress timer SM 24 t-2, etc.) Execute the process Next, in step 4010 (second), the sub main control unit SM executes a command transmission process to the sub sub control substrate SS. Next, in step 4012 (second), the sub main control unit SM executes the detailed operation setting of the motor used for the movable part or the like. Next, in step 4014 (second), the sub main control unit SM executes LED data output to light and blink the LED of the gaming machine frame, the LED of the game board, and the like at an appropriate timing. Next, in step 4016 (second), the sub main control unit SM operates the sub input button ASB in the effect determined when the decorative symbol changes or the effect that a button effect such as an acceleration button effect is performed. The effect (button depression effect) or the like to be performed by being performed is performed. Next, in step 4018 (second), the sub main control unit SM adds 1 to a counter for counting the sub main update cycle to count 16 ms which is the update cycle of the sub main routine. Return to the process that was being executed immediately before the interrupt process.

  Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2700 of FIG. 30 in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is the step 3200 (second), that is, after the stop symbol and the variation mode of the decorative symbol related to the symbol variation are determined in the step 2706, then in the step 3200 (second), The drawing display content determination means SM21n executes an acceleration button effect execution executability determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2712.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the acceleration button effect execution executability determining process according to the subroutine of step 3200 (second) of FIG. 31 in the second embodiment. First, in step 3202, the figure display content determination means SM21n refers to the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation on the first main game side. If the result of step 3202 is YES, the drawing display content determination means SM21 n refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11 b in step 3204, and the variation pattern group of the symbol variation is the group 3 (symbol variation on the first main game side) It is determined whether or not it is a fluctuation mode group (which is a relatively long fluctuation time). In the case of Yes at step 3204, the clothing display content determination means SM 21 n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM 11 b at step 3206 and determines whether or not the symbol variation is a symbol variation that is a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 3206, in step 3208, the figure display content determination means SM21 n is an acceleration button winning with a predetermined probability A (a higher probability than a predetermined probability B described later, and 1/3 in this example). An effect execution lottery (a lottery in which an acceleration button effect to be described later is executed by winning is executed) is executed, and the process proceeds to step 3212. On the other hand, if No in step 3206, the figure display content determination means SM21 n is elected in step 3210 with a predetermined probability B (a lower probability than a predetermined probability A described later, and in this example, 1/10). The acceleration button effect execution lottery (a lottery in which an acceleration button effect to be described later is executed by being won) is executed, and the process proceeds to step 3212. As described above, in the second embodiment, the acceleration button effect execution lottery is more likely to be won if it becomes a big hit than the case where the symbol variation is lost. The button effect can be a effect with a high degree of expectation.

  Next, in step 3212, the figure display content determination means SM 21 n refers to the lottery result in step 3208 or step 3210 and determines whether or not the acceleration button effect execution lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3212, the drawing display content determination means SM21 n turns on the button effect execution permission flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24 b in step 3214 (the flag turns on) Therefore, the acceleration button effect will be executed). Next, in step 3216, the figure display content determination means SM21 n determines the effective period setting table to be referred to from the plurality of effective period setting tables, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2712). Also in the case of No in step 3202, step 3204 or step 3212, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2712). Here, in the second embodiment, the effective period setting table is provided in three types of effective period setting table A, effective period setting table B and effective period setting table C, and each 1/3 is selected. It is configured as follows. Note that the method of determining the table, the number of table types, and the selection probability are not limited to this, and the number of table types may be changed, or the probability of being selected depending on the table may be different. There is no problem at all. Further, the effective period setting table is a table for determining a period in which the sub input button ASB is effective at the time of executing the acceleration button effect.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the acceleration button effect execution executability determining process according to the subroutine of step 3100 (second) of FIG. 32 in the second embodiment. First, at step 3102, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether the button effect in-progress flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the notice effect display control means SM24 displays a button effect flag (flag turned on during acceleration button effect) in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. turn on. Next, in step 3105, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns on the waiting flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (the waiting time is started by turning on the waiting flag). The Rukoto). Next, in step 3106, the notice effect display control means SM24 is a button effect remaining time timer SM24t (decrement timer, for measuring a period until all the plural button effects in one symbol change are finished The initial value (in the second embodiment, the fluctuation time of group 3 is 120 seconds in the timer), the initial value of the button effect remaining time timer is 90 seconds, and the reach effect execution time is 30 seconds. ) And start the timer. In the second embodiment, the variation time of group 3 is all 120 seconds, and the initial value of button presentation remaining time timer SM24t is 90 seconds (90000 ms), but it is not limited to this. The variation time is configured to be selected from a plurality of types of 90 seconds, 120 seconds, and 240 seconds, and the initial value of button presentation remaining time timer SM24t is determined according to the variation time of the symbol variation (for example, variation time) 90 seconds → initial value of timer is 60 seconds, fluctuation time is 120 seconds → initial value of timer is 90 seconds, fluctuation time is 240 seconds → initial value of timer is 210 seconds). Next, at step 3108, the notice effect display control means SM24 resets the timer SM24t-2 (increment timer, timer for measuring the elapsed time for one button effect in one symbol change) during button effect Then, the timer is started, and the process proceeds to step 3300 (second). Also in the case of No in step 3102, the process shifts to step 3300 (second).

  Next, in step 3300 (second), the notice effect display control unit SM24 executes button activation determination processing described later. Next, in step 3110, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and is a button valid flag (a flag which is turned on when the sub input button ASB is valid). , And turns on at step 3310). If Yes in step 3110, in step 3112, the notice effect display control unit SM24 refers to the sub input button A input detection device SBs and determines whether or not the operation of the sub input button ASB is detected. If Yes in step 3112, in step 3114, the notice effect display control means SM24 is a counter of the press number counter SM24c (counter that measures the number of times the sub input button ASB is pressed in the button valid period in one symbol change). Add 1 to the value. Next, in step 3116, the notice effect display control unit SM24 executes a button depression effect based on the counter value of the number-of-depressions counter SM24c, and proceeds to step 3122. On the other hand, if No in step 3112, in step 3118, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether or not the button valid period has passed (for example, button effect It is determined whether the timer value of the middle timer SM24t-2 has reached the upper limit described later). In the case of Yes in step 3118, in step 3120, the notice effect display control means SM24 is an effect execution period after activation (period after the end of the button effective period, one button effect is “standby period → button effective period → It is an effect that can be executed when the button pressing failure effect (provided not in order during the button effective period is provided) in the effect execution period after effect provided in order), for example, on the effect display device SG Execute “Failure!” And the process moves to step 3122. Next, in step 3122, the notice effect display control unit SM24 turns off the button valid flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage unit SM24b, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2999). The button valid period may be referred to as a valid period. Moreover, the period which is not a button effective period is called a button invalid period or an invalid period. Although not shown, the effect execution period after effect according to the present embodiment is 1 second.

  If NO in step 3110, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b in step 3124, and the flag during standby (turns on when effect is provided after effect) It is determined whether or not the flag (which is turned on in steps 3105 and 3414) is off. In the case of Yes in step 3124, in step 3400, the notice effect display control unit SM24 executes a next button valid period setting process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2999). Also in the case of No in step 3118 or step 3124, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2999). In the second embodiment, when the acceleration button effect is performed, the standby period is configured to start immediately after the start of the symbol variation, but is not limited thereto. For example, the symbol variation start The standby period according to the first button effect may be started five seconds after the start of the process. The acceleration button effect refers to a series of effects such as "standby period → button effective period → effect execution period after effect execution period" is provided a plurality of times for one symbol change. In addition, at the time of acceleration button production execution, it may be constituted so that a waiting period may not be provided, but a button active period and a button invalid period (period in which an effect is not executed even if a sub input button is operated) alternate several times. It should just be provided.

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of button validation determination processing according to the subroutine of step 3300 (second) of FIG. 33 in the second embodiment. First, at step 3302, the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the timer effecting timer SM24t-2 during the button effect, and the timer value corresponds to the valid period lower limit (the valid period setting table to be referred to and the counter value of the pressing counter SM24c). It is a different value, and it is determined whether or not it is equal to or more than the button effect in-progress timer value at the start of the button effective period. If Yes in step 3302, in step 3304, the notice effect display control unit SM24 refers to the timer SM24t-2 during button effect and determines whether the timer value is the lower limit of the effective period. In the case of Yes in step 3304, in step 3306, the notice effect display control unit SM24 turns off the standby flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage unit SM24b, and proceeds to step 3308. On the other hand, also in the case of No at step 3304, the process proceeds to step 3308. As described above, in the second embodiment, when the timer value of the timer SM24t-2 during button effect becomes the lower limit value of the effective period, the standby flag is turned off, that is, the standby period is ended. Next, in step 3308, the preliminary announcement effect display control means SM24 refers to the timer SM24t-2 during button effect, and the timer value is the upper limit of the effective period (the effective period setting table to be referred to and the counter value of the pressing counter SM24c It is determined whether or not it is a value that differs depending on the value, and is less than or equal to the timer value during button effect at the end of the button effective period. In the case of Yes in step 3308, in step 3310, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns on the button valid flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3310). Transition. Also in the case of No in step 3302 or step 3308, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 3310). As described above, in the second embodiment, the present embodiment is configured to determine whether or not the current button is the valid period based on the valid period lower limit value, the valid period upper limit value, and the button rendering timer value, but is not limited thereto. It may be determined based on whether the timer value during button effect is within the range of the button effective period (for example, when the timer value during button effect is 500 to 3500, it is determined as the button effective period).

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of a next button valid period setting process according to the subroutine of step 3400 (second) of FIG. 33 in the second embodiment. First, the notice effect display control means SM24 designates the counter value of the pressing counter SM24c as the offset value. Next, in step 3404, the notice effect display control unit SM 24 refers to the valid period setting table determined in step 3216 based on the offset value designated in step 3402, and sets the upper limit value (also referred to as A) of valid period and The lower limit value (also referred to as B) is read. Next, in step 3406, the advance notice effect display control means SM24 reads out the next effective post-effect effect execution period (which is a fixed value of 1 second in this example and is also referred to as C). In this example, although the effect execution period after effect during acceleration button effect execution is a fixed value of 1 second, it is not limited to this, and a predetermined effect after effect operation period (for example, 5 in acceleration button effect It may be configured to set the multiple after second effective rendering execution period to a long time (for example, 3 seconds). Next, in step 3408, the notice effect display control unit SM24 refers to the button effect remaining time timer SM24t and determines whether the timer value is “A + C” or more. Here, as shown in the effect period of the acceleration button effect at the bottom of the figure, when the timer value of the button effect remaining time timer SM24t is "A + C" or more, the next button effect can be executed. It is comprised so that it may be judged. If Yes in step 3408, in step 3410, the notice effect display control means SM24 stores the upper limit value (A) and the lower limit value (B) read out in step 3404 (for managing the button valid flag and the standby flag) Used). Next, at step 3412, the preliminary announcement effect display control means SM24 resets (zero clears) the timer SM24t-2 during button presentation and starts. Next, in step 3414, the notice effect display control means SM24 turns on the waiting flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (the waiting time is started by turning on the waiting flag). And the next process (the process of step 2999).

  If NO in step 3408, in step 3416, the notice effect display control unit SM24 resets the timer SM 24t-2 during button effect production. Next, at step 3418, the notice effect display control means SM24 clears the press number counter SM24c to zero. Next, in step 3420, the notice effect display control unit SM24 turns off the button effect execution permission flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage unit SM24b. Next, in step 3422, the notice effect display control unit SM24 turns off the button effect flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage unit SM24b, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2999). As described above, in the case of No in step 3408, that is, when the next button effect can not be executed, the effect of acceleration button effect end (for example, the decorative symbol in the left row and the decorative symbol in the right row are the same) The symbol hearing effect (temporarily stopped at the symbol) is output, and then the reach effect is executed.

  Here, the lower part of the same figure is an example of the effect period in the acceleration button effect. As shown in the figure, in the second embodiment, in the symbol variation in which the acceleration button effect is executed, "standby period → button valid period → effect effect period after effect" is configured to be repeated a plurality of times. On the basis of the button effect remaining time timer value at the end of the effect execution period after effect, it is configured to determine whether or not the next button effect is to be performed, and the button effective period of the next button effect. In addition, when the button effect remaining time timer value is less than "A + C", it is determined that the button effect can not be performed, and the acceleration button effect is ended (after that, the reach effect is performed) .

  Next, FIG. 36 is an effective period setting table in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, there are three effective period setting tables: effective period setting table A, effective period setting table B, and effective period setting table C, and it is determined that the effective period setting tables to be referred to differ. The upper limit value, the lower limit value, and the button valid period may be different. In addition, when the same validity period setting table is referred to, the upper limit value, the lower limit value, and the button validity period which are determined can be different because the pressing frequency counter value is different. The valid period setting tables A to C are configured to be equally selected with a probability of 1/3. Moreover, the calculation method of an effective period is calculated by "upper limit (A)-lower limit (C)." If the upper limit value, the lower limit value, and the button valid period determined differ as the pressing frequency counter value increases (for example, the pressing frequency counter value becomes 5 to 6 times), the decision is made. The upper limit value, the lower limit value, and the button effective period are all configured to be shorter than the previously determined time value, that is, when the pressing counter value is increased while the acceleration button effect is being performed. In other words, when the sub input button ASB is operated for each button effective period during execution of the acceleration button effect, the button effective period is configured to be gradually short (accelerating) ing. Further, by providing a plurality of types (3 types in this example) of effective period setting tables, it is possible to make the types of time values of button effective periods when the acceleration button effect is performed varied. The player can be configured not to be aware of the transition of the button valid period. In addition, the upper limit value, the lower limit value, and the pressing frequency counter value at which the valid period is switched may be configured to be different when the valid period setting table to be referred to is different. Specifically, only the valid period For example, when the valid period table A is referred to, “If the press counter value is 0 to 5 → valid period is 3000, press count counter value is 6 to 10 → valid period is 2000, press counter If the value is 11 or more → the effective period is 1000, and the effective period table B is referenced, “If the press counter value is 0 to 3 → the effective period is 3000, the press counter value is 4 to 8 In the case of → effective period is 2000, when the number-of-times counter value is 9 or more → effective period may be configured to be “1000”.

  Next, FIG. 37 is an acceleration button effect execution image diagram 1 in the second embodiment. In the figure, the acceleration button effect is executed, and the player presses the sub input button ASB each time the button effect is executed, thereby exemplifying the case where the button effective period relating to the button effect becomes shorter. . First, the variation of the decorative symbol on which the acceleration button effect is executed (a fluctuation time of 120 seconds, and the execution time of the acceleration button effect is 90 seconds) is started and the waiting period is started. In this example, although the execution time of the acceleration button effect is a fixed value of 90 seconds, it is not limited to this, and the execution time differs depending on the result of the success or failure of the symbol variation in which the acceleration button effect is performed It may be configured. Specifically, when the symbol variation for which the acceleration button effect is executed is a symbol variation related to a big hit, the acceleration button effect is executed while the average value of the execution time of the acceleration button effect is set to 90 seconds. When the symbol variation is the symbol variation related to the loss, by setting the average value of the execution time of the acceleration button effect to 60 seconds, in the symbol variation related to the loss, the chance that the expectation of the big hit is increased Up effect (for example, the color of the character of "chance!" Displayed in the effect execution period after the effect may be switched as "blue → yellow → green → red" whenever the number of the effect execution period after the effect is repeated It is possible to relatively reduce the opportunity (due to effect presentation execution period) of outputting the effect). After that, the waiting period ends, and as the first button valid period, a valid period of 3000 ms starts and the button effect is executed, and one character is displayed as the acceleration button effect. As described above, in the second embodiment, the character is displayed when the acceleration button effect is performed, and the sub input button is pressed when the button effect is performed, and the success effect (the button depression effect described above) is performed. When being done, the number of the displayed characters can be increased. Although not shown, the number of characters may be increased more easily in the case of a big hit when the symbol variation on which the acceleration button effect is executed is a big hit than in the case of a loss. Thereafter, since the sub input button ASB is operated in the first button valid period, a success effect (button depression effect) is executed. In addition, as described above, after the effective period of the button after the effective effect period is provided after the effective, effective effect period after the effective effect and failure can be performed in the effective effect period, but the button effective period When the sub input button ASB is operated, the success effect is performed in the button valid period. Specifically, when the execution time of the success effect is 1 second and the button valid period is 3 seconds, the sub input button is operated (1) button valid period start timing to 2 seconds after the button valid period start In the case, the success effect is executed in the button effective period, (2) after 2 seconds after the button effective period starts ~ when the sub input button is operated before the button effective period ends, the success effect is the button effective period And the effect execution period after the effective. In the second embodiment, when the sub input button ASB is operated in the button effective period, the next button is performed after the effective effect after the effective effect elapses even if the success effect (button depression effect) ends. Although the effect is not performed (the next waiting period is not started), the present invention is not limited to this, and the next waiting period may be started after the success effect (button depression effect) is finished. With such a configuration, it is possible to further increase the difference in the number of times the button effect is executed between the case where the player operates the sub input button ASB in the button valid period and the case where the player does not operate the sub input button ASB. In addition, in such a configuration, the acceleration button effect is ended when the number of button operations (the number of pressing times counter value) becomes a predetermined number (for example, when the number of pressing times counter becomes 15), the effect display device Three characters may be displayed on the SG and then the reach effect may be executed). By configuring as such, it is possible to execute the operation of the sub input button ASB in the button valid period. If repeated several times, the time used for the reach effect after the acceleration button effect is executed can be made longer than in the case where the sub input button ASB is not operated in the button effective period, and the reach with more expectation It will be possible to perform the production. In addition, the execution of the operation of the sub input button ASB in the button valid period is repeated a plurality of times, and the execution time of the acceleration button effect is shortened compared to the case where the sub input button ASB is not operated in the button valid period. Executes an effect different from the acceleration button effect by the reduced amount concerned {informing that the reach effect will be executed as the next notice effect when three characters are displayed on the effect display device SG It may be configured to display a QR code (registered trademark) from which a privilege image can be received by using a mobile phone.

  After that, the button effect is executed five times, and the seventh button effect is started under the situation where the press frequency counter value is 6 by operating the sub input button in all the button effects, the button of the effect The effective period is 2000 ms. After that, by operating the sub input button ASB in the seventh button effect (button effective period), the success effect is executed. Further, as the seventh success effect, the number of characters displayed is increased from one to two. In addition, when the number of characters of the character displayed in this manner increases, the effect post-effect execution period for a long time is made longer than the case of not increasing (for example, the number of characters of the displayed character increases). It may be configured to be 3 seconds, and 1 second if not increasing. After that, the button effect is executed seven times, and the sub input button ASB is executed in the 14th button valid period under the condition that the press frequency counter value is 13 by operating the sub input button in all button effects. As a result of the operation, the success effect is executed (the pressing count counter value becomes 14 along with the execution of the success effect). Thereafter, the fourteenth button valid period ends, and it is determined that the next button effect can not be performed ("Time remaining for button effect time <upper limit + effect after effect period"). Thereafter, when 90 seconds have elapsed from the start of symbol variation, the acceleration button effect is ended, and the reach effect is started.

  Next, FIG. 38 is an acceleration button effect execution image diagram 2 in the second embodiment. In the same figure, the acceleration button effect is executed, and when the player presses the sub input button ASB at the time of executing the button effect and the case where the button is not pressed is mixed, the button effective period related to the button effect does not become short. The case is illustrated. First, the variation of the decorative symbol on which the acceleration button effect is executed (a fluctuation time of 120 seconds, and the execution time of the acceleration button effect is 90 seconds) is started and the waiting period is started. After that, the waiting period ends, and as the first button valid period, a valid period of 3000 ms starts and the button effect is executed, and one character is displayed as the acceleration button effect. Thereafter, the button effective period ends without operating the sub input button ASB in the first button effective period, so that the failure effect is executed in the effect execution period after the effective. Thereafter, eight button effects are executed, and since the number of times the sub input button ASB is operated in the button effective period is four times, the button effective period remains 3000 ms in the tenth button effect. Thereafter, the eleventh button effect is executed, and since the sub input button ASB is not operated in the button effective period, the failure effect is executed after the end of the button effective period. Thereafter, the eleventh button valid period ends, and it is determined that the next button effect can not be performed ("Time remaining for button effect time <upper limit + effect after effect period"). Thereafter, when 90 seconds have elapsed from the start of symbol variation, the acceleration button effect is ended, and the reach effect is started.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the button effect is executed a plurality of times in one symbol change, and the button effect is executed at the time of execution of the acceleration button effect. By configuring the button effective period to be different depending on the number of times the sub input button is operated (pressing counter value), the button effective time and effect executing time of the button effect on the second half can be made short, and the tempo is good. It becomes possible to execute the button effect. In addition, at the time of execution of the acceleration button effect, the button effective period becomes shorter as it goes to the end of the effect, and the difficulty level of the operation of the sub input button ASB increases. It is possible to create a highly entertaining game machine in which two senses of accomplishment can be felt by one event of operating the sub input button ASB that the feeling of expectation by which the said symbol variation due to the presentation is obtained and the jackpot is increased. it can. It should be noted that, by not operating the sub input button ASB, in order to avoid discomfort due to repeated failure effects repeatedly, effects that are output when the sub input button ASB is not operated during the button active period, the button active period Alternatively, the same effect as when the sub input button ASB is operated may be set, and the pressing number counter value may not be added when the sub input button ASB is not operated in the button valid period. In this case, in order to execute output management of chance up effects such as character increase, an effect execution counter is provided as a counter different from the press frequency counter SM24c to count the number of times the effect execution period has come after activation. Even when the sub input button ASB is not operated, the chance-up effect may be controlled to be outputable.

(Modification 1 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, at the time of executing the acceleration button effect in which the button effect is performed a plurality of times, the button effective period can be a short time by increasing the number of times the button effect is performed. The mode of execution of the button effect and the transition of the button valid period are not limited to this. Therefore, the configuration of the acceleration button effect different from that of the second embodiment will be described in detail as only a modification from the second embodiment, as a first modification of the second embodiment.

  First, FIG. 39 is a flowchart of acceleration button effect execution executability determination processing according to the subroutine of step 3200 (second) of FIG. 31 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The change point from the second embodiment is step 3216 (second change 1) and step 3218 (second change 1), that is, after the button effect execution permission flag is turned on in step 3214, step 3216 (second change) is performed. In the second variation 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 determines a first effective period setting table to be referred to. Next, in step 3218 (second modification 1), the notice effect display control unit SM24 refers to a second expiration period setting table to be referred to based on the first expiration date setting table determined in step 3216 (second modification 1). decide. Here, in the first modification example from the second embodiment, two types of validity period setting tables of the first validity period setting table and the second validity period setting table are provided as the validity period setting table, and the first After the button effect referring to the effective period setting table is performed a plurality of times, the button effect referring to the second effective period setting table is performed a plurality of times. In the first modification of the second embodiment, the case where the second validity period setting table is referred to rather than the case where the first validity period setting table is referred to by comparing the case where the pressing counter values are the same value. Is configured to refer to the second effective period setting table such that the button effective period is short (in the case where the press counter values are different, it is not the limitation, for example, the press frequency counter value is 13 times While the button valid period in the case where the first valid period setting table is referred to in the situation is 1000 ms, the button valid in the case where the second valid period setting table is referred to in the situation where the press frequency counter value is 2 times. When the second valid period setting table is referred to, for example, the period is 2900 ms, the button valid period may take a long time).

  Next, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of a next button valid period setting process according to the subroutine of step 3400 (second) of FIG. 33 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The change from the second embodiment is from step 3424 (the second change 1) to step 3436 (the second change 1), that is, after designating the pressing number counter as the offset value in step 3402, step 3424 (the second change). In the change 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b and determines whether the second button effect in-progress flag is off or not (second button effect in progress The flag is turned on during execution of the second acceleration button effect described later). Here, in the first modification example from the second embodiment, the acceleration button effect is executed in two times of the first acceleration button effect and the second acceleration button effect (a plurality of button effects are generated) 1) After the acceleration button effect is finished, the second acceleration button effect consisting of a plurality of button effects is started). Note that the second button effect in-progress flag is turned on at the timing when the first acceleration button effect ends. If Yes in step 3424 (second change 1), in step 3426 (second change 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 proceeds to step 3216 (second change 1) based on the offset value specified in step 3402. The upper limit (also referred to as A) and the lower limit (also referred to as B) of the effective period are read out with reference to the first effective period setting table (the effective period setting table referred to when executing the first acceleration button effect) determined. , And move on to step 3406. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 3424 (the second change 1), at step 3428 (the second change 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 executes step 3218 (the second change 1) based on the offset value specified at step 3402. The upper limit (also referred to as A) and the lower limit (also referred to as B) of the effective period are referred to with reference to the second effective period setting table (the effective period setting table referred to at the time of executing the first acceleration button effect) Read and go to step 3406.

  Further, after turning off the button effect in progress flag at step 3422, at step 3430 (the second modification 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, It is determined whether the button effect flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 3430 (the second change 1), in step 3432 (the second change 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 is in the second button effect in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. The flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2999). On the other hand, if No in step 3430 (second change 1), in step 3434 (second change 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 is the second button in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b. Turn on flag during production. Here, in the case of Yes in step 3430 (second change 1), it is the timing when the first acceleration button effect ends, and in the case of No the timing when the second acceleration button effect ends (the acceleration button effect relating to the symbol variation It is the timing of the end). Next, in step 3436 (the second modification 1), the notice effect display control means SM24 turns off the button effect execution permission flag in the flag area of the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and the next process (step 2999) Move to

  Next, FIG. 41 is an effective period setting table in the first modification of the second embodiment. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the first valid period setting table A, the first valid period setting table B, and the first valid period setting table, which are referred to when executing the first acceleration button effect A first effective period setting table consisting of three types of C, a second effective period setting table A, a second effective period setting table B, and a second effective period setting table that are referred to when executing the second acceleration button effect A second effective period setting table configured of three types of the two effective period setting table C is provided. Further, since the acceleration button effect according to the first modification from the second embodiment is executed in the order of “first acceleration button effect → second acceleration button effect”, the effective period setting table to be referred to is also “first effective”. It will be referred to in order of period setting table → second effective period setting table. Therefore, at the timing when the upper limit value, the lower limit value, and the button valid period relating to the second acceleration button effect are determined with reference to the second valid period setting table, any valid period setting table is referred to as the first valid period setting table. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the upper limit value and the button validity are more effective than the validity period setting table based on the validity period setting table referred to as the first validity period setting table. A valid period setting table to be referred to from the second valid period setting table in which the period is relatively short (it becomes short when the pressing frequency counter value is the same value) is determined. Specifically, when the first effective period setting table B is referred to as the first effective period setting table at the time of executing the first acceleration button effect, the first effective period setting table is effective at the time of executing the second acceleration button effect. One of the two effective period setting table B and the second effective period setting table C can be referred to. In addition, when the time value of the button valid period is compared, “Refer to the press count counter value is 0 to 5 and the first valid period setting table 押 下 press count counter value is to 0 to 5 and refer to the second valid period setting table> Pressed The frequency counter value is 11 or more and the first valid period setting table is referred to ≧ the pressing frequency counter value is 11 or more and the first valid period setting table is ". It should be noted that the button valid period when the pressing frequency counter value is 0 to 5 and the first valid period setting table is the same as the button valid period when the pressing frequency counter value is 0 to 5 and the second valid period setting table is referenced Or the button valid period when referring to the first valid period setting table and the button valid period when the pressed frequency counter value is greater than 11 and when referring to the second valid period setting table And may be configured to be the same time value. With this configuration, when the pressing counter value is increased when referring to the first valid period setting table, the button valid period becomes short, and when the second valid period setting table is referenced, the button is pressed. When the counter value increases, the button effective period becomes shorter, and the button effective period when referring to the first effective period setting table and the button effective period when referring to the second effective period setting table Even when comparing the two, the button valid period is relatively shorter when referring to the second valid period setting table to be referred to later. As a specific example of the second effective period setting table that can be referred to based on the first effective period setting table, (1) When the first effective period setting table A is referred to as the first effective period setting table The second valid period setting table A, the second valid period setting table B or the second valid period setting table C is referred to as a second valid period setting table, and (2) the first valid period setting is set as a first valid period setting table. When the table B is referred to, the second effective period setting table B or the second effective period setting table C is referred to as the second effective period setting table, and (3) the first effective period as the first effective period setting table. When the setting table C is referred to, the second effective period setting table C is referred to as the second effective period setting table.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the button effect is executed a plurality of times in one symbol change. , There are two types of valid period setting tables of the first valid period setting table and the second valid period setting table, and when the button effect is executed when the first valid period setting table is referenced, the sub input button ASB is operated multiple times In the case where the button validity period becomes short in a short time, and the validity period setting table to be referred to is switched from the first validity period setting table to the second validity period setting table, the button validity period is long again Then, when referring to the second effective period setting table when referring to the effective period setting table, the sub input button ASB is operated multiple times Such as gradually become button validity period and a short period of time when the row, it becomes possible to produce aspect of the rich buttons directing to entertaining.

  In addition, in the modification 1 from the second embodiment, the post-effect presentation execution period and the waiting period at the time of acceleration button presentation execution are fixed values (in this example, the post-activation presentation execution period is 1000 ms, and the standby period is 500 ms) However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is relatively long between the last after-effective effect execution period when referring to the first effective period setting table and the last after-effective effect execution period when referring to the second effective period setting table A time different from the effect to be performed in the other effective effect execution period may be performed. More specifically, “+2” is displayed until the first effective post-effect execution period in the acceleration effect to the first post-effective effect execution period at the time of referring to the first effective period setting table and before the post-effective effect execution period In the last effective effect execution period at the time of referring to the first effective period setting table, the total value of the points added at the time of referring to the first effective period setting table is Displayed as “TOTAL + 50”, and from the first after-effective effect execution period when referring to the second effective period setting table to the after-effective effect execution period before the last after-effective effect execution period when referring to the second effective period setting table The effect is executed such that the score is displayed as “+2” is added, and in the last effective effect execution period after referring to the second effective period setting table The total value of the points added in the acceleration effect may be displayed as "TOTAL + 150", and the more the total value of the points is, the higher the expectation that the symbol variation becomes a big hit may be configured. .

  Further, in the first modification example from the second embodiment, the valid period setting table is only the first validity period setting table, and the first valid period setting table is the same as the first modification example from the second embodiment. When the button effect to be referred to is finished, the first effective period setting table may be referred to again (determined with reference to the second effective period setting table in the first modification from the second embodiment) The button valid period is determined with reference to the first valid period setting table). In such a configuration, as in the configuration of the first modification from the second embodiment, when the button effect referring to the first effective period setting table for the first time is completed, the pressed number counter SM24c May be configured to zero clear. Moreover, although it was comprised so that 2 times of acceleration button production of 1st acceleration button production and 2nd acceleration button production would be performed as an acceleration button production, "1st acceleration button production-> 2nd acceleration button production-> 3rd acceleration button It may be configured to execute the acceleration button effect three or more times as in the "effect". In addition, when the acceleration button effect is divided into a plurality of times and executed, the background effect is made different in each acceleration button effect, and the number of characters of the character is gradually increased as the acceleration button effect progresses (for example, the first acceleration button The effect mode may be such that one effect, one character, the second acceleration button effect, two characters, and the third acceleration button effect, three characters).

(Modification 2 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, the button valid period may be different depending on the number of times the sub input button ASB is operated (pressing counter value) while the acceleration button effect is being executed. However, the configuration of the button valid period in the acceleration button effect Is not limited to this. Therefore, the configuration of the button valid period different from the second embodiment will be described in detail as only a difference from the second embodiment, as a second modification of the second embodiment.

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of next button valid period setting processing according to the subroutine of step 3400 (second) of FIG. 33 in the second modification of the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are steps 3438 (second variant 2) to 3444 (second variant 2), that is, after the next effective post-effective presentation execution period C is read out in step 3406, step 3438 (second variant 2). In the second variation 2), the advance notice effect display control means SM24 calculates a valid period upper limit value (also referred to as D) calculated from “button effect remaining time timer value−effect effect period after effect C”. Next, at step 3440 (the second modification 2), the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, and "valid period upper limit value (D) 上限 upper limit value (A)" It is determined whether or not there is a valid period type including such a button valid period. In the case of Yes in step 3440 (second change 2), in step 3442 (second change 2), the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the effective period setting table and makes a decision in step 3440 (second change 2) Select (determine) the valid period type to be referenced from the valid period types including the button valid period such that “valid period upper limit value (D) 上限 upper limit value (A)” (equally selected from selectable period types) To be selected). Next, in step 3444 (second change 2), the notice effect display control means SM24 refers to the valid period type selected in step 3442 (second change 2), and reads the lower limit value (B) of the button valid period. And go to step 3410. As described above, in the second modification example from the second embodiment, regardless of the counter value of the number-of-times counter SM24c, there is a button effect that can be executed in the next button effect every time the button effect ends. (If the time to execute the button effect is secured or not), and if there is an executable button effect, the button effect to be executed next (or from the executable button effect) It is configured to determine the button lifetime).

  Here, the lower part of the same figure is a button effect execution determination image, and when it is determined that the button effect can be executed next time, the effective period upper limit value obtained by subtracting the effect execution period after activation from the button effect remaining time timer value If there is a selection candidate for the button effective period which takes a shorter time than), and if it is determined that the next time the button effect can not be performed, the effect after the effective effect execution period from the button effect remaining time timer value In the case where there is no selection candidate of the button effective period which is shorter than the upper limit (D) of the effective period reduced, the button effect executed most recently becomes the last button effect in the symbol variation.

  Next, FIG. 43 is an effective period setting table in the second modification of the second embodiment. The change point from the second embodiment is that the effective period type is provided, and regardless of the counter value of the pressing frequency counter SM24c, the upper limit value (A ), Lower limit value (B) and button valid period will be determined. That is, when determining whether or not the next button effect is to be executed, whether or not there is an effective period type (selectable effective period type) in which the effective period of a value (short time) smaller than the button effect remaining time timer value exists The validity period type to be referred to in the next button effect is determined from the selectable validity period types. Specifically, when the effective period table being referred to is the effective period setting table A and the button effect remaining time timer value is 2300 ms, the selectable effective period types are "A2" and "A3". , And each is selected with a probability of 1/2. Further, in the second modification example from the second embodiment, the lower limit value is configured to be different according to the selected effective period setting table, and with this configuration, the timing at which the button effect is performed is the previous time. It is possible to prevent recognition from the end timing of the button effect, and to increase the degree of difficulty in operating the sub input button ASB in the button valid period. In the second modification of the second embodiment, the effective period type that can be executed is selected from the determined effective period setting tables. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if the effective period type in which the button effective period is longer than the button effect executed last time is selected out of the effective period types in which the determined effective period setting table can be executed. Alternatively, the effective period type may be selected from an effective period setting table different from the effective period setting table referred to in the button effect executed last time. Specifically, the effective period type “A2” is selected with reference to the effective period setting table A, and the upper limit value of the effective period is 900 ms when the presence or absence of the next button effect and the effective period type are determined. If it is, there is no valid period type in which the valid period is shorter than the valid period upper limit of 900 ms in the valid period setting table A referred to, but the valid period setting table B and the valid period setting table Since “B3” and “C3” exist in C as effective period types in which the effective period is shorter than the effective period upper limit of 900 ms, it is determined that the next button effect is executable. The effective period type to be selected next time may be configured to be either “B3” or “C3”.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the second modification from the second embodiment, the button effect is executed a plurality of times in one symbol change. In the second embodiment, an appropriate button effect according to the remaining time of the button effect can be executed by configuring the executable button effect to be executed taking into consideration the remaining time of the acceleration button effect regardless of the pressing counter value. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where the time from the end of the button effect to the execution of the reach effect is long and the player is bored.

(Modification 3 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, the effective period setting table to be referred to in the acceleration button effect is determined at the timing when it is determined that the acceleration button effect is to be executed. However, the effective period setting table is determined An aspect is not limited to this. Therefore, the determination mode of the effective period setting table different from the second embodiment will be described in detail as only a modification from the second embodiment as a third modification example from the second embodiment.

  First, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of acceleration button effect execution executability determination processing according to the subroutine of step 3200 (second) of FIG. 31 in the third modification example from the second embodiment. The point of change from the second embodiment is that the process of step 3216 is deleted. That is, even when an acceleration button effect execution lottery is won, the process of determining the effective period setting table to be referred to in step 3216 is executed. It is configured not to.

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of next button valid period setting processing according to the subroutine of step 3400 (second) of FIG. 33 in the third modification example from the second embodiment. The change point from the second embodiment is step 3401 (the second modification), that is, step 3401 (the second modification), the notice effect display control unit SM24 sets the validity period lottery table (setting the validity period to be referred to) Based on the lottery probability of the table referred to to determine the table, the effective period setting table to be referred to is determined, and the process proceeds to step 3402. Here, the upper right row in the figure is the effective period lottery table, and as shown in the figure, in the third modification from the second embodiment, the selection probability (lottery probability) of the effective period setting table is It has different probabilities. In addition, the average value of the determined effective periods (average value for each counter value of the pressing frequency counter SM24c) becomes "effective period setting table C → effective period setting table B → effective period setting table A" in order of short time. ing. Here, the degree of difficulty of operating the sub input button ASB in the button effective period becomes higher as the button effective period of the button effect is shorter, so in the third modification example from the second embodiment, the button effective period The selection probability (lottery probability) is lower than the effective period setting table with low difficulty for operating the sub input button ASB with the button effective period. It is configured.

  By configuring as described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the third modification from the second embodiment, the effective period setting table to be referred to for each execution of the button effect is determined at the time of executing the acceleration button effect. Thus, for example, even when the press count counter value is 0 to 5 times, only a predetermined time value is not determined as the button valid period (the time value may be different for each button effect), It is possible to prevent monotonous button effects. In addition, the user-friendly game machine in which the button operation can be easily performed by configuring it as difficult to be selected as the effective period setting table (the effective period setting table in which the button effective period is relatively short) is difficult to operate. It can be done.

  In the gaming machine according to the third modification from the second embodiment to the second embodiment, the button valid period and the button invalid period (period in which the operation of the sub input button ASB is invalid) are performed at the time of executing the acceleration button effect. Are alternately provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The sub input button ASB is always enabled, and the presence or absence of effects (button depression effect, failure effect, etc.) when the sub input button ASB is operated is determined. It may be configured to switch. In addition, even when the acceleration button effect is performed, the automatic consecutive hit may be received as in the present embodiment. Specifically, when the sub input button ASB is kept pressed at the time of executing the acceleration button effect, the button depression effect (success effect) is executed at the start of the button effect execution (when the button valid period starts). It may be configured. Also, as a configuration in which the sub input button ASB is always enabled, the sub input button ASB in the sub main control unit SM is always enabled during the acceleration button effect, and the sub sub control unit SS is operated each time the sub input button ASB is operated. When the sub sub control unit SS receives a signal indicating that it has been output, the sub sub control unit SS may be configured to determine whether or not the effect should be output at the current timing to execute the effect.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the effective period setting table to be referred to from the three effective period setting tables of effective period setting table A to effective period setting table C is determined as the effective period setting table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there is only one valid period setting table, and the button valid period may be different only by the press frequency counter value, in other words, when the press frequency counter value is the same value, the button valid period May be configured not to differ.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, when the acceleration button effect is executed, the presence or absence of the button effect of the next execution is determined based on the button effect remaining time timer value. The execution mode is not limited to this, and it may be configured to determine whether or not it is possible to execute button production for two times (next and next each time) at the timing of determining whether or not the button performance is performed. When configured, for example, when the next button effect can be performed, and when the next button effect can only be performed and the next button effect can not be performed, the button depression effect of the next button effect You may comprise so that an execution aspect may differ.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the third modification from the second embodiment to the second embodiment, the score is added when the sub input button ASB is successfully pressed in the button valid period at the time of the acceleration button effect execution. It is also possible to use a gaming machine that can provide a bonus to the player that the presentation aspect of the entire gaming machine can be changed by the total value of the points acquired in the acceleration presentation. Specifically, information on the total value of the acquired points is displayed on the effect display device SG as a QR code (registered trademark), and the player uses the mobile communication terminal (for example, a mobile phone) to execute the QR code (registration By reading the trademark, it is possible to start the game in a state in which information on the acquired points is stored in the server and information on the total value of the acquired points is taken over even when starting the game later, or The information related to the total value of the acquired points is displayed as a password (for example, alphanumeric characters), and when starting a game at a later date, the password is input (for example, sub input button ASB and sub input button BSB-2 Can be started in a state where the information on the total value of the points earned by inputting can be started) and As representation embodiment of the entire gaming machine if the total value of the point has reached a predetermined number, a background image, a character image (for example, character image to perform speech effect) may be configured to be capable to change.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the button valid period can be made different based on the pressing frequency counter value, but the sub input button ASB is used in the button valid period without using the pressing counter value. The button valid period may be configured to be different by using data storing the effect and the button valid period determined for each number of times of operation.

  In addition, as a generation condition of the button depression effect and the failure effect in the third modification example from the second embodiment to the second embodiment, a plurality of operations of the sub input button ASB may be set as a condition. When configured as such, as in the automatic continuous hitting effect of this embodiment, it is configured to determine that a plurality of operations have been performed by long-pressing the sub input button ASB (while keeping pressed). May be

  Further, in the acceleration button effect in the third modification example from the second embodiment to the second embodiment, the button valid period becomes shorter as the sub input button ASB is operated in the button valid period. It is also good. In addition, the number of times the button effect (button valid period) is executed in one acceleration button effect is fixed (for example, 10 times), and the time when the button valid period is shortened by operating the sub input button ASB in the button valid period. The effect after the button effect is finished may be executed by the value of the value. When configured in such a manner, the effect after the button effect is finished may be configured to execute an effect such that the big hit expectation becomes clear in the second half or an effect with a low appearance rate. In addition, although the acceleration button effect is configured as an effect that reports the big hit expectation degree of the symbol variation by outputting a chance-up effect (for example, a success effect), it is not limited thereto, for example, a time-saving gaming state It may be used for a mini game unrelated to the big hit expectation degree of the said symbol variation performed in the limited frequency state which shifts to a predetermined period of (less relevant to the result of the game).

  In addition, in the acceleration button effect in the third modification example from the second embodiment to the second embodiment, a display in which the number of seconds remaining in the button valid period is displayed on the effect display device SG and added to the later reach effect. You may Specifically, in a configuration in which a button depression effect is executed immediately after operating the sub input button ASB in the button effective period, and transition is made to the standby period immediately after the button depression effect is executed, When the input button ASB is operated, the remaining time of the button effective period (for example, the button effective period is 5 seconds, and the remaining time is 3 seconds when the sub input button ASB is operated in 2 seconds from the button presentation start) accelerates It is added to the execution time of reach presentation after the button presentation execution (The initial value of the execution time of the reach presentation displayed on the presentation display SG is 30 seconds, and at the timing when the sub input button ASB is operated, "3 seconds" may be displayed as "+3 seconds", and "3 seconds" may be added to the execution time of the reach effect. In addition, when comprised in this way, the variation time of the decorative symbol in which button production was performed predetermined times (15 times which is a fixed value, the number of times decided by lottery, etc.) as end timing of acceleration button production. And so on.

  In this example, although the case where the sub input button is installed in the pachinko game machine is illustrated, the configuration of the present example is applied even in the case where the sub input button is installed in the rotating drum type game machine. Is possible. Here, supplemental description will be given to a well-known roll-to-roll type gaming machine.

  First, on a well-known roll-to-roll type gaming machine, a main board as a main game control unit which controls the progress of a game, a sub-board as a sub game control unit which controls the execution of effects, and main game identification information As a main game identification information display unit for the main game start which can be operated by the player and a plurality of (generally 3 lines) reels in which a plurality of identification information are respectively arranged on the outer periphery and which instructs the game start It has a start lever as an instruction device, and a stop button as a main game progress instruction device operable by the player and instructing game progress. Then, on the main substrate, one or more stop identifications based on the random numbers acquired by the main gaming random number acquiring unit for acquiring the main gaming random number when the start lever is operated, and the random numbers acquired by the main gaming random number acquiring unit Main game identification information display content determination means (for example, display content determination means for internally determining a winning combination such as a small winning combination or special role product) which tentatively determines information, and main game identification information display content determination Main control unit for determining and displaying one stop identification information on a reel, which is a main game identification information display unit, based on one or more pieces of stop identification information provisionally determined by the means and the operation timing of the stop button Gaming identification information display control means (for example, reel control means for stopping the reel at a predetermined position based on the internally determined winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed); When a predetermined mode is displayed as stop identification information on a reel that is a game identification information display unit, special game execution control means (for example, "777 etc." are controlled on a predetermined effective line to shift to a special game. The main game side information which transmits information on the main game random number acquired by the main game random number acquisition means) and the main game random number acquired by the main game random number acquisition means to the secondary game control unit side when the special game is activated. And transmission control means.

  The configuration relating to the effect of operating the sub input button of the present embodiment can be applied to the side of the sub game control unit in such a well-known spinning type gaming machine. Specifically, the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed when the sub input button continues to be pressed, and the pressing of the sub input button is started during the automatic continuous hitting acceptance period, and the pressing of the sub input button is maintained, A configuration in which continuous hit effects are executed from the start timing of the button continuous hit effective period, an effect execution mode relating to an acceleration button effect (the button effective period is different between when the sub input button is operated by the button effect and when it is not The configuration to be obtained), etc. are also applicable to a reel-type game machine. In addition, in the case of being applied to a reeling type gaming machine, one bet, for example, a bet button {a mechanism for enabling an input of a bet number (bet number)} to play the same role as a sub input button, etc. The mechanism may be configured to set multiple applications.

  In the present embodiment, only the sub input button ASB is used as the operation member operated at the time of executing the acceleration button effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The operation member (the sub input button ASB and the sub input Either of the button BSB-2 and the sub input button CSB-3) may be determined by lottery, and the degree of difficulty of operating the operation member during the button effective period may be increased by the acceleration button effect.
