Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of executing a variable display game based on winning of a game ball in a starting winning area.

A variable display game in which a plurality of identification information (symbols) are variably displayed on an effect display device including a liquid crystal display or the like in accordance with a prize of a game ball fired in the game area, and as a result, a specific mode is obtained. In relation to (1), there is a gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) configured to give a specific game value such as generating a special game.
In such a gaming machine, the display effect is completed for each change display game, and the result of the change display game is derived. And in such a variable display game, it can be repeatedly performed until a big hit is obtained. In order to add sharpness to the variable display game that is repeatedly performed in this manner, there are a normal fluctuation with a short fluctuation time and a reach fluctuation with a long fluctuation time.
As means for informing the player in advance that the result mode of the variable display game is likely to be a specific mode, there is a notice effect, and as a further development, a plurality of variable display games (Patent Document 1), for example, is known in which a notice is repeatedly given over a period of time so that a result mode in a variable display game that is performed based on a start memory that has not yet been executed is announced.
In addition, two types of identification information groups for performing the variable display game are provided, and a special game is generated in association with that any one of the variable display games based on the two types of identification information groups has a specific mode. Gaming machines have also been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2). Then, in this gaming machine, when a variable display game based on the first identification information group is being executed, the variable display game based on the second identification information group is on standby, and the execution order of the variable display game is changed. The order of winning in the starting port is set to prevent the result mode of the variable display game from being complicated.
Meanwhile, in recent years, in a gaming machine capable of executing a variable display game using two types of identification information groups, such as a gaming machine described in Patent Literature 2, the result mode of the variable display game in the first identification information group The bonus based on the result mode of the variable display game in the second identification information group is set to be advantageous to the player, and the variable display game in the second identification information group is changed in the first identification information group. It has been considered to execute the game in a priority manner over the display game, and also to make such a gaming machine execute a continuous effect as described in Patent Document 1.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.

<First embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment plays a game by firing (ballistic) a game ball into an internal game area 1a, and a glass in the front upper half thereof. On the back side of the board, a game board 1 constituting the game area 1a is installed.

  The game board 1 includes a flat game board body 1b (made of wooden or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and has a game area 1a surrounded by a guide rail 2 on a front surface of the game board body 1b. ing. On the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rails 2, front component members 3, 3,. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is fired from a firing device into a game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2, and a game is played.

  At the approximate center of the game area 1a, a center case 20 forming a window 22 serving as a display area of a decorative special figure variable display game is attached. Behind the window 22 formed in the center case 20, a display device 43 as an effect display device capable of executing a variable display game for variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information is arranged. The display device 43 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged such that a display unit whose display content can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window 22 of the center case 20. The display device 43 is not limited to a device having a liquid crystal display, but may be a device having a display such as an EL or CRT.

  Further, in the game area 1a, there are provided a general-purpose starting gate 4, a general-purpose memory display 15 for displaying the number of unprocessed general-purpose variation display games, and a general-purpose display 5 for displaying the general purpose variation display game. Have been. In the game area 1a, a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 forming a second start winning area are provided. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening 13, the first special figure variable display game is executed as an auxiliary game, and when the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 7, the second special game variable display device 7 is used as the auxiliary game. The special figure change display game is executed.

  In the gaming area 1a, a first special figure display 8 for displaying the first special figure change display game and a second special figure display 9 for displaying the second special figure change display game are provided. ing. In addition, the first special figure storage display 18 which displays the number of unprocessed first special figure change display games (first start storage) and the number of unprocessed second special figure change display games (second start storage) are displayed. A second special map storage display 19 for displaying is provided. In addition, the general figure storage display 15, the general figure display 5, the first special figure display 8, the second special figure storage display 18, the first special figure storage display 18, and the second special figure storage display 19 are: It is provided integrally as a segment LED together with a game state display LED (not shown) indicating a game state.

  Further, the game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in the direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side, and a first special figure change display game and a second special figure change display game. The special variable prize winning device 10 that converts the state of the large winning opening from a closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to an open state (a state advantageous for the player) depending on the result of the above, and a game ball that does not win the winning opening or the like. An out hole 11 for collecting is provided. In addition, in the game area 1a, general winning openings 12, 12,..., A windmill 14 as a hitting direction changing member, a number of obstacle nails (not shown), and the like are provided.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball passing through the general-purpose starting gate 4 is provided in the general-purpose starting gate 4. Then, when a game ball hit into the game area 1a passes through the general-purpose starting gate 4, a general-purpose change display game is performed. In addition, a state in which the general figure variable display game cannot be started, for example, a state in which the general figure variable display game is already performed and the general figure variable display game is not finished, When the game ball passes through the general-purpose starting gate 4 when the state 7 is converted to the open state, if the general-purpose starting storage number is less than the upper limit number of the general-purpose starting storage number, the general-purpose starting storage number is incremented by 1 and the general-purpose starting memory is added. One memory will be stored. The start memory of the general-figure variation display game is displayed on the general-figure storage display 15 including the LED.

  The ordinary figure (ordinary symbol) change display game is executed by the ordinary figure display 5 provided in the game area 1a. In addition, a general-purpose variation display game may be displayed in a part of the display area of the display device 43. In this case, for example, a numeral, a symbol, a character design, or the like is used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After the display, the display is stopped and displayed. If the stop display of the normal-floating fluctuation display game is a special result mode, the normal-figure hit occurs, and the opening and closing members 7a, 7a of the normal-variation winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). You. This makes it easier for game balls to win the normal fluctuation winning device 7, and facilitates the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game.

  The normal variable winning device 7 as a second start winning area includes a pair of left and right opening and closing members 7a, 7a forming a winning facilitating means. The opening and closing members 7a, 7a are disposed below the first starting winning opening 13, and these opening and closing members 7a, 7a, 7a normally holds a closed state at intervals of about the diameter of the game ball, that is, a difficult-to-win state (a disadvantageous state for the player) in which the game ball does not easily win, Is a predetermined stop display mode, a solenoid (conventional power SOL 7b, shown in FIG. 2) as a conversion control means opens in a reverse "C" shape to play the game in the normal variable winning device 7. The state can be changed to an easy winning state (a state advantageous to the player) in which the ball easily flows.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 (game control device 30) of the present embodiment can generate a time-saving operation state (specific gaming state, specific variable display game) as a gaming state based on the result mode of the special figure variable display game. ing. In this time-saving operation state (specific game state, specific fluctuation display game), the operation state of the normal fluctuation winning device 7 is more likely to be open than in the normal operation state. In this time-saving operation state, the execution time of the above-mentioned ordinary figure fluctuation display game is controlled so as to be shorter than the long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Control is performed such that the number of times the normal variable winning device 7 is opened substantially increases. That is, the normal variable winning device 7 functions as a prize facilitating means that can convert a closed state in which game balls are not easily accepted into an open state in which game balls are easily accepted. In addition, in the time-saving operation state, when the normal-variation display game is a hit and the normal-variation winning device 7 is opened, the opening time is controlled to be longer than the short opening time in the normal operation state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 1.8 seconds). In addition, in the time saving operation state, the normal fluctuation winning device 7 is opened two or more times (for example, two times), instead of once, for one hit result of the ordinary figure fluctuation display game. Further, in the time saving operation state, control is performed so that the probability of a hit result in the normal figure change display game is higher than that in the normal operation state. That is, the number of times of opening of the normal fluctuation winning device 7 is increased as compared with the normal operation state, so that the game balls can easily win the normal fluctuation winning device 7, and the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game becomes easy.

  A first starting port SW 13a (shown in FIG. 2) is provided inside the first starting winning port 13, and based on detection of a game ball by the first starting port SW 13a, a first special figure variation as an auxiliary game. A starting right to start the display game is generated. Further, a second starting port SW7d (shown in FIG. 2) is provided inside the normal fluctuation winning device 7, and based on detection of a game ball by the second starting port SW7d, a second special figure as an auxiliary game is provided. A starting right to start the variable display game is generated. The right to start the first special figure change display game is stored as a first start memory within a range of a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Then, the first start memory is displayed on the first special map storage display 18. The start right to start the second special figure change display game is stored as a second start memory within a range of a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Then, the second start memory is displayed on the second special map storage display 19.

  Then, in a state in which the first special figure change display game or the second special figure change display game can be started and the first start storage number and the second start storage number are 0, for example, the first start winning opening When the game ball wins, the first start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the first start memory number is incremented by one, and the first special map is immediately stored based on the first start memory. The variable display game is started, and at this time, the first start storage number is decremented by one. In a state where the first special figure change display game or the second special figure change display game can be started and the first start storage number and the second start storage number are 0, for example, the second start winning opening When the game ball wins in the normal variable winning device 7 which forms the second starting memory, the second starting memory is stored with the generation of the starting right, and the second starting memory number is incremented by one, and immediately based on the second starting memory. Then, the second special figure change display game is started, and at this time, the second start storage number is decremented by one.

  On the other hand, a state where the first special figure change display game or the second special figure change display game cannot be started immediately, for example, the first special figure change display game or the second special figure change display game is already performed, and the special figure change display is performed. When a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 in a state where the game is not finished or in a special game state, if the first start storage number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than 4). , The first start storage number is incremented by one, and one first start storage is stored. Similarly, in this case, when a game ball wins in the normal variable winning device 7 forming the second start winning opening, if the second start storage number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than 4), the second start storage number is reduced. One is added and one second start memory is stored.

  When the first special figure change display game or the second special figure change display game is ready to be started, the first special figure change display game or the second special figure change display is performed based on the first start memory or the second start memory. The game starts. At this time, the first special figure variable display game and the second special figure variable display game are not executed at the same time, and the second special figure variable display game is executed with priority over the first special figure variable display game. It has become. That is, when there is the first start memory and the second start memory, and the special figure change display game can be executed, the second special figure change display game is executed.

  The first special figure change display game and the second special figure change display game as auxiliary games are executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 provided in the game area 1a. This is performed by variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information and then stopping and displaying a predetermined result mode. In addition, a decorative special figure variation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character patterns, and the like) are varied and displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to each special figure variation display game is executed. ing. When the display mode of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result mode (for example, “7”) as a result of the special figure change display game, a big hit occurs. Special game state (so-called big hit state). Corresponding to this, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any of the zigzag numerals such as “7, 7, 7”). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but the special figure change display game is displayed independently. Also, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display regions in the first special figure variable display game and the second special figure variable display game, or use the same display device and display area. Alternatively, the special decoration figure change display game is displayed independently. Further, the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43 without providing the game machine with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment can generate a certain change state (specific game state, specific change display game) as a game state based on the result mode of the special figure change display game. This probability change state (specific game state, specific change display game) is a state in which the probability of a winning result in the special figure change display game is higher than the normal probability state. Note that, regardless of which of the first special figure change display game and the second special figure change display game the result of the special figure change display game is, the first special figure change display game and the second special figure change display game are not changed. Both of the displayed games are in a probable change state. Further, the probable change state and the time saving operation state can be generated independently of each other, both can be generated at the same time, or only one of them can be generated.

  The special fluctuation winning device 10 has a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side falls down to the front side. By converting the winning opening from a closed state to an open state, the inflow of game balls into the special winning opening is facilitated, and a predetermined game value (prize ball) is given to the player. The opening and closing door 10a is driven by, for example, a solenoid (large winning opening SOL 10b, shown in FIG. 2) as a driving device. A count SW 10c (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball entering the special winning opening is provided inside the special winning opening (winning area).

  In each of the general winning openings 12 provided in the game area 1a, a winning opening SW 12a (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting a game ball entering the general winning opening 12 is provided. The game balls hit into the game area 1a by starting the game are awarded to the general winning ports 12, 12,..., The normal variable winning device 7, the first starting winning port 13, the special variable winning device 10, and the like. When one of the mouths is won, a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to each winning mouth are paid out by the payout control device 125 (shown in FIG. 2). The payout control device 125 is controlled under the control of the game control device 30 so that a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a game control device 30 as control means for controlling a special figure variable display game performed on the display device 43, and an effect control command from the game control device 30. And an effect control device 40 as effect control means for controlling the effect of the special figure change display game on the display device 43 based on the display device 43.

  The game control device 30 includes a game one-chip microcomputer 31 including a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM 31c, and the like, and includes an input interface (input I / F) 32, an output interface (output I / F) 33, an external communication terminal 34, and the like. It is configured.

  In the game one-chip microcomputer 31, the internal CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, performs calculation control, and also generates various random number values such as a big hit determination random number value of each special figure change display game.

  Further, when starting each special figure variable display game (decorative special figure variable display game) based on the start winning, the CPU 31a includes a variable pattern of the special figure variable display game, that is, a variable display time of the identification information. Determine the fluctuation pattern and reach pattern (type of reach action).

  The RAM 31c inside the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31 stores a memory for storing an ON signal of the first starting port SW13a provided in the first starting port 13, the second starting port SW7d provided in the normal fluctuation winning device 7, and the like. An area, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like are provided. That is, the prize of the game ball detected by the CPU 31a is stored in the RAM 31c as the start prize, whereby the game control device 30 determines the number of prize of the game ball which has won the start prize area, It functions as a starting prize storage means that can store up to a predetermined number. More specifically, as a first prize storage means capable of storing the number of game balls won to the first starting winning opening 13, and a second number of game balls winning the normal variable winning device 7 can be stored. It functions as a winning storage means.

The control program and control data for the game are written in the ROM 31b inside the one-chip microcomputer 31 for the game, and the occurrence of the big hit in each special figure change display game is determined in accordance with the various random numbers described above. For this purpose, a big hit determination value, a variation pattern (first half variation pattern, second half variation pattern), a reach pattern (reach action type) determination value, and the like for the special figure variation display game are stored. Specifically, for example, the ROM 31b stores, in the ROM 31b, a second half fluctuation pattern table corresponding to a game result ("big hit" or "losing") of the special figure fluctuation display game, and a game result ("big hit" or "big hit") of the special figure fluctuation display game. The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the “out” is stored, and the first half variation pattern of the second half variation pattern table and the first half variation pattern of the first half variation pattern table are stored. A variable time command table related to a variable time command (continuous notice command, continuous notice change command, continuous notice switching command, continuous notice end command, etc.) constituted by the combination is stored.
In the variation patterns, the first half variation pattern is, for example, in one special figure variation display game performed in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas, the symbols in the left and right variation display areas are the same symbol. Means the variable display mode until it stops, and the latter half variation pattern means the variable display mode after the symbols in the left and right variable display areas have stopped at the same symbol. That is, the variable display mode until the state where the left and right fluctuation display areas stop at the same symbol and the state where the middle fluctuation display area is still fluctuating (reach state) occurs is set to the first half fluctuation pattern, and after the reach state occurs Is a second half variation pattern. Among the fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation display mode of the first-half fluctuation pattern and the second-half fluctuation pattern is, for example, the first-half fluctuation pattern until the middle fluctuation display area during fluctuation and temporarily stops or starts low-speed fluctuation. The design may be changed as appropriate, for example, the subsequent variable display may be a second-half variable pattern.

  Also, the input interface 32 has a first starting port SW13a, a second starting port SW7d, a winning port SW12a,..., A gate SW4a, a count SW10c, a glass frame opening SW146, a game machine frame opening via a low-pass filter and a buffer gate. SW121, ball cut SW122, etc. are connected. Then, the input interface 32 relays various signals input from these, and outputs the signals to the game one-chip microcomputer 31. The glass frame opening SW 146 detects that the clear member holding frame is open, and the gaming machine frame opening SW 121 detects that the front frame is open. The ball cut SW 122 is provided on a chute for guiding the game balls supplied from the island facility to the discharge device, and detects that the game balls in the chute have run out.

The control is performed. Further, a detection signal from an effect button 41 provided on the front surface of the gaming machine is input to the input / output interface 40e, and the effect control device 40 (the game control device 30) Under the control of the game).

  Further, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40e, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40e and output to the movable staging device via an output port and a driver (not shown). It is output to the accessory drive motor 42, the game board 1, and various LED boards 44 provided with decorative LEDs provided on the clear member holding frame that covers the front of the game board 1, and the effect of the game is performed. ing. Among the control signals output from the CPU 40a, a control signal relating to image control is output from the CPU 40a to the VDP 40g, and image data based on the control signal is output from the VDP 40g to the display device 43. In addition, a control signal related to audio control is output from the CPU 40a to the sound LSI 40i, and audio data based on the control signal is output from the sound LSI 40i to the speaker 45.

  The game control device 30 is supplied with power from a power supply device (not shown), and the other devices are also supplied with power from the power supply device. In addition, the power supply unit is equipped with a backup power supply that enables power to be supplied even when power supply from the outside is interrupted due to a power outage or the like, and is stored in the volatile memory of each control device during a power outage or the like. This prevents the lost data from being lost.

Then, in these control devices, the following game control is performed.
In the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the general figure starting gate 4, the random number for collision determination of the general figure is extracted and stored in the ROM 31b. A process of comparing with the stored determination value to determine a hit or miss of the ordinary figure change display game is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed on the general symbol display device 5 for a predetermined time, a process of displaying the general symbol variance display game to be stopped and displayed is performed. When the result of the general-floating display game is a hit, a special result mode is displayed on the general-figure display 5 and the general-purpose SOL 7b is operated to open and close the opening and closing members 7a, 7a of the normal-variation winning device 7 for a predetermined time. The control for opening is performed as described above (for example, for 0.5 seconds). When the result of the general-floor variation display game is out of control, control is performed to display a result mode of the out-of-position on the general-purpose display 5.

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first starting port SW13a provided in the first starting winning port 13, the random number value for the big hit determination of the first special figure variable display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. A process for storing the start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a first prize storage means for storing the prize of the game ball to the first start winning opening (first start prize area) as the first start memory. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second starting port SW7d provided in the normal fluctuation winning device 7, the big hit determination random number value of the second special figure fluctuation display game is extracted and stored in the RAM 31c. A process for storing the start memory is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes second winning storage means for storing the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening (the normal variable winning device 7, the second starting winning area) as the second starting memory. Accordingly, the game control device 30 stores the winning of the game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 13 and the normal variable winning device 7) as a starting memory for each winning up to a predetermined upper limit number. Make the means.

  Further, at the time of storage by the first start memory, the random number for big hit determination stored in the first start memory is compared with the determination value (hit value) for the first special figure change display game stored in the ROM 31b, A process of determining a hit or miss in the first special figure change display game is performed. Similarly, at the time of storage by the second start memory, the random number value for big hit determination stored in the second start memory is compared with the determination value (hit value) for the second special figure change display game stored in the ROM 31b. Then, a process of determining the loss of the second special figure variation display game is performed. Thereby, the game control device 30 determines in advance the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the first winning storage device (game control device 30) or the second winning storage device (game control device 30). Functions as a result pre-determination means.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 displays the identification symbol on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 for a predetermined period of time based on the start memory, and then displays the stop symbol. A process for displaying the special figure change display game is performed. That is, the game control device 30 forms a game execution control unit that can execute and control the special figure change display game based on the start memory. More specifically, the first execution control means performs execution control of the first special figure change display game based on the first start memory, and executes the second special figure change display game based on the second start storage. It functions as second execution control means for performing control.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure change display game is performed by the first special figure change display game. Is executed prior to the execution control. That is, when the game control device 30 stores the start memory in the first start storage means (game control device 30) and the second start storage device (game control device 30), the second execution control means (game control) A priority execution control unit for executing the control by the device 30) prior to the control by the first execution control unit (game control device 30).

  When the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit, the one-chip microcomputer for game 31 of the game control device 30 displays a special result mode on the special figure display and performs a process of generating a special game state. . In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening and closing door 10a of the special variable prize device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL 10b, and control is performed to allow the game balls to flow into the special winning opening. Either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins in the special winning opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses after the opening of the special winning opening is achieved. The opening of the special winning opening until one round is defined as one round, and a control (cycle game) that continues (repeates) this round a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 or 2 times) is performed. Accordingly, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state in which a predetermined gaming value can be given to a player based on the result mode of the special figure variable display game. In the case where the result of the special figure change display game is out of control, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result mode of the out.

  In addition, the one-chip microcomputer for game 31 of the game control device 30 executes a specific variation display game different from the special figure variation display game based on establishment of the specific condition. Specifically, a process of generating a specific game state (a time saving operation state, a probable change state) in which the frequency of conversion of the normal fluctuation winning device 7 to the open state is higher than that in the normal state is performed. That is, the game control device 30 constitutes a specific game state generating means for generating a specific game state in which the conversion control by the conversion control means (ordinary variable winning device 7) is controlled to be performed more than the normal game state in a predetermined period.

  In the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when a plurality of start memories for the first start memory or the second start memory are stored, a plurality of special figure fluctuations corresponding to the plurality of start memories are stored. A continuous effect execution control means for executing a continuous effect state in which an effect is continuously performed over the display game is constituted, and either the first winning storage means (game control device 30) or the second winning storage means (game control device 30). In a single continuous display game based on one start memory stored in a crab, a plurality of identification information is displayed in a variable manner for a predetermined period of time and then stopped, and then a pseudo continuous production state is executed in which a unit variable display is performed at least once. It constitutes execution control means.

  The value given to the player in the special game state or after the end of the special game state is higher in the second special figure change display game than in the first special figure change display game. The high value given to the player means that, for example, the distribution rate of the number of rounds in the special game state is advantageous to the player (in the first special figure change display game, the 15R probability variable hit rate: 40%, While the 2R probability variable jackpot occurrence rate is 20% and the 15R normal jackpot rate is 40%, the second special figure variation display game has a 15R probability variable hit rate: 55%, a 2R probability variable hit rate: 5%, 15R normal jackpot occurrence rate: 40%). In addition, in addition to the large number of rounds in the special game state (the large number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player), the second special figure change display game is more likely to change to a certain state after the end of the special game state. May be increased. Further, the value in the production may include the fact that the player is likely to be in a reach state, and that the reach production that is not usually hard to appear (so-called super reach or premier reach) is likely to appear.

  In addition, the one-chip microcomputer for game 31 of the game control device 30 is provided with a game ball input from sensors (first starting port SW13a, second starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided in various winning ports. The payout motor of the payout control device 125 is controlled based on the detection signal so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

  In addition to the start timing of the special figure change display game, the game control device 30 determines whether the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start storage or the second start storage and the hit value stored in the ROM 31b (the determination value). Value) to determine whether a special result mode is derived in the special figure change display game based on the start memory for the start memory not yet executing the special figure change display game. It has become.

  Further, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal (a fluctuating time command, a fluctuating stop command, etc.) from the game control device 30, the display device 43 displays a decorative special figure fluctuating display game corresponding to the special figure fluctuating display game. Performs processing and production control.

  Next, a description will be given of a continuous effect state in which a notice effect is continuously performed over a plurality of variable display games. This continuous effect state is one of the announcement effects that informs the player in advance that the special game state may be derived in the special figure change display game, and is used for the big hit determination stored in the start memory. The determination as to whether the random number value is equal to the preset hit value is performed in advance of the start timing of the special figure variation display game, and the result of this determination (the big hit determination randomness that matches the hit value in the start-up memory). That a notice is repeated over a plurality of special figure variation display games based on whether or not there is a numerical value, thereby foretelling a result mode in the special figure variation display game performed based on a start memory that has not been executed yet. It is. In other words, the continuous effect state is to give the player a sense of expectation by suggesting that there is a start memory in which the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit in the start memory, and to enhance the interest of the game. .

Then, the game control device 30 performs an external information editing process (step m) for setting a signal to be output to an external management device in an output buffer. Next, the game control device 30 performs a process of declaring an interrupt end (step n), a process of restoring the saved register data (step o), and a process of permitting the interrupt (step p). Then, the timer interrupt processing ends.

  In the determination as to whether or not the first starting winning opening 13 has a winning start of a game ball (step i11), the determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the first starting opening SW 13a. If there is no start winning in the determination (step i11) as to whether or not there is a start winning of the game ball in the first starting winning opening 13, the starting opening 1 monitoring process is ended.

  On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not there is a winning of the game ball in the first starting winning opening 13 (step i11), if there is a starting winning (step i11; Yes), the game control device 30 stores the first starting memory. A process for acquiring the number (step i12) is performed, and it is determined whether the first start storage number is 4 or more (step i13).

  When it is determined whether the first start storage number is 4 or more (step i13), if the first start storage number is 4 or more (step i13; Yes), the upper limit of the first start storage number is set to If it has exceeded, the game control device 30 ends the start-up opening 1 monitoring process.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the first start storage number is 4 or more (step i13), if the first start storage number is not 4 or more (step i13; No), the game control device 30 performs the first start A process of incrementing the storage number by 1 (step i14) is performed.

To perform a variation pattern determination random number extraction process (step i18). Then, based on the jackpot random number, the reach determination random number value, and the variation pattern determination random number corresponding to the acquired first start storage number, the game control device 30 performs a special figure reservation information determination process (step i19), The pre-reading process for determining whether or not a random number for big hit determination matching the hit value is stored in the stored first start memory and whether or not to execute the continuous notice is performed before the start of the first special figure variation display game. Do.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the special figure change information determination processing is processing for controlling execution of the special figure change display game based on the start memory, and is executed in the first special figure change display game and the second special figure change display game. This is a process common to both.

  In the special figure reservation information determination process, first, the game control device 30 performs a process (step S11) of acquiring the jackpot random number stored in step i15 of the start-up opening 1 monitoring process. Then, the game control device 30 performs a process (step S12) of acquiring a big hit random number determination table corresponding to the game state. Specifically, for example, when the gaming state is in the low-probability state (normal-probability state), a table in which only a predetermined number of first determination values are stored as hit values is acquired. On the other hand, when the gaming state is in the high probability state (probable change state), for example, a table in which a second determination value different from the first determination value is stored in addition to a predetermined number of first determination values as a big hit value is stored. get.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the jackpot random number stored in step i15 of the start-up opening 1 monitoring process has a hit value (step S13). When it is determined whether or not the big hit random number has a hit value (step S13), if the big hit random number has a hit value (step S13; Yes), a process of setting big hit information (step S14) is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number has a hit value (step S13), if there is no hit value in the jackpot random number (step S13; No), a process of setting outlier information (step S20) is performed. Move to S21.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process of acquiring the jackpot symbol random number stored in step i16 of the start-up opening 1 monitoring process (step S15), and performs a process of acquiring a jackpot symbol random number determination table (step S16). . Then, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol random number stored in step i16 of the start-up opening 1 monitoring process is a symbol (for example, “7, 7, 7” or the like) that generates a high probability state. The determination (step S17) is performed by comparing the determination value stored in the symbol random number determination table with the determination value.

  In the determination as to whether or not the symbol is to generate the high probability state (step S17), if the symbol is to generate the high probability state (step S17; Yes), the game control device 30 generates the high probability state The process of setting the high-probability symbol information to be performed (step S18) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the symbol is to generate the high-probability state (step S17), if the symbol is not the symbol to generate the high-probability state (step S17; No), the game control device 30 generates the low-probability state A process (step S19) of setting low probability symbol information to be performed is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a variation pattern determination process (step S21) for determining a variation pattern in the special figure variation display game. Thereby, each time the start memory is stored in the first prize storage means (game control apparatus 30) or the second prize storage means (game control apparatus 30), the game control apparatus 30 is stored according to the start memory. The game result preliminary determination means for determining the game result information to be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this variation pattern determination process, first, a process of acquiring the reach determination random number extracted in step i17 of the startup opening 1 monitoring process (step S31) is performed. A process of acquiring the variation pattern determination random number extracted in step i18 (step S32) is performed, and a process of acquiring a reach determination random number determination table (step S33) is performed. The latter half variation pattern among the variation patterns is determined by comparison with the determination value stored in the reach determination random number determination table. That is, by determining the second half variation pattern, it is determined whether or not the reach state occurs.

  Then, the game control device 30 performs a process of determining a second half variation pattern by comparing the reach determination random number acquired in step S31 with the reach determination random number determination table acquired in step S33 (step S34). . More specifically, the determination of the latter half fluctuation pattern is based on the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure fluctuation display game or the probability state of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current game state (normal probability state or probability change state). ), The operation state (normal operation state or specific game state) of the normal variable winning device 7 as the current game state, the production state (normal state or continuous notice state) as the current game state, the number of starting memories, and the like. Based on a comparison with the reach determination random number determination table, the latter half variation pattern among the variation patterns in the special figure variation display game is determined.

  Next, the game control device 30 performs a process of acquiring a random number determination table for determining a fluctuation pattern (step S35). Note that the first half variation pattern of the variation patterns can be determined by comparing the variation pattern determination random number acquired in step S32 with the determination value stored in the variation pattern determination random number determination table. Has become.

  Then, the game control device 30 determines the first half variation pattern by comparing the variation pattern determination random number acquired in step S32 with the variation pattern determination random number determination table acquired in step S35 (step S36). I do.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the current game state is in the probability fluctuation state or in the time saving operation, that is, in the high probability state in which the occurrence probability of the special game state is increased (step S37). When it is determined whether or not the current game state is in the probability fluctuation state or the time saving operation (step S37), if the current game state is in the probability fluctuation state or the time reduction operation (step S37; Yes), Then, it is determined whether or not the start memory based on the variation pattern determination processing is based on the second start memory (step S38). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the current gaming state is in the probability fluctuation state or in the time saving operation (step S37), when the current gaming state is neither in the probability fluctuation state nor in the time saving operation (step S37). ; No) moves to step S40.

  Next, when it is determined whether or not the start memory based on the fluctuation pattern determination processing is based on the second start memory (step S38), the start memory based on the fluctuation pattern determination processing is not based on the second start memory (step S38; In the case of No), the process of clearing the determined fluctuation pattern is performed (step S39), and the process ends. That is, when the game state is the high probability state and the start memory is based on the first start memory, the so-called prefetch processing is not performed. At this time, the continuous notice is not executed based on the first start memory. However, the continuous notice may be executed based on the first start memory. In this way, when in the hidden probability change state (latency probability change state), the effect contents and occurrence frequency of the normal game state and the continuous announcement can be made common, and the player is not informed that the hidden probability change state is in progress. You can do so.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the start memory based on the fluctuation pattern determination processing is based on the second start memory (step S38), the start memory based on the fluctuation pattern determination processing is based on the second start memory (step S38). Yes) is to confirm whether or not the variation pattern composed of the second half variation pattern determined in step S34 and the first half variation pattern determined in step S36 is a variation pattern based on continuous notice. It is determined whether or not to execute the notice (step S40). In the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous announcement (step S40), when the continuous announcement is to be executed (step S40; Yes), the process of setting the continuous announcement information to be transmitted to the effect control device 40 (step S41) ), And a process of setting a continuous advance flag (step S42). Thereby, when a plurality of start memories are stored in either the first winning storage device (game control device 30) or the second winning storage device (game control device 30), the game control device 30 performs the first execution. A continuous execution state in which a continuous effect state in which a notice effect is continuously performed over a plurality of variable display games by a corresponding game execution control means of the control means (game control apparatus 30) or the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30). The effect execution control means is provided. Then, the continuous effect execution control means determines whether or not to execute the continuous effect state based on the determination result of the game result information by the game result advance determination means (game control device 30).

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the start memory that triggered the execution of the continuous notice is based on the first start memory (step S43). When it is determined whether or not the start memory is based on the first start memory (step S43), if the start memory is based on the first start memory (step S43; Yes), the first special figure notice is issued. The process of setting the flag (step S44) is performed, and the variation pattern determination process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the start memory is based on the first start memory (step S43), if the start memory is not based on the first start memory (step S43; No), the fluctuation pattern determination process is performed. To end.

  Also, in the determination of whether or not to execute the continuous announcement (Step S40), when the continuous announcement is not executed (Step S40; No), the second half variation pattern determined in Step S34 and the determination in Step S36 are performed. A process of setting variation pattern information corresponding to the variation pattern constituted by the first half variation pattern is performed (step S45), and the variation pattern determination process ends. That is, the game control device 30 forms a game mode selection control unit that selects a game mode in which the variable display game is executed from among the plurality of game modes, and controls the selected game mode.

As described above, the control means (game control device 30) performs the first execution control means (based on the game state executed based on the occurrence of the special game state in the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 100). In at least one of the variable display games executed by the game control device 30) or the second execution control device (game control device 30), the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control device (game control device 30) is changed. A continuous effect prohibition control means (game control device 30) for prohibiting occurrence is provided.
The control means (game control device 30) is configured to execute the first execution control means (game control device) in accordance with a game state executed based on the occurrence of a special game state in the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 100). 30) or at least one of the variable display games executed by the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30), the generation of a specific game mode executed by the game mode selection control means (effect control apparatus 40). A prohibition or suppression effect prohibition control means (game control device 30) will be provided.

  Further, the continuous effect prohibition control means includes a continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means when the specific game state is generated by the specific game state generation means (game control device 30). , The generation of the continuous effect state executed is prohibited.

  Thereby, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine 100 configured to generate the starting memory for executing the second special figure fluctuation display game based on the winning of the game ball to the normal fluctuation winning device 7, the hit probability of the normal symbol is obtained. In the specific game state (probability-variable game state or time-saving game state) in which the normal variable winning device 7 is opened more frequently than in the normal state, the first special state is set in this specific game state. When the continuous effect is enabled in the figure variation display game, the start memory of the second special figure variation display game frequently occurs during the execution of the continuous effect. The execution must be interrupted by the continuous production by the first special figure variable display game, which causes a problem that the processing becomes complicated. However, the above-mentioned continuous production inhibition control means (game control device) The 0), it is possible to solve such problems.

  Then, when the variation pattern determination processing ends as described above, the process returns to FIG. 9 and the special figure suspension information determination processing ends. Then, the game control device 30 performs a continuous notice frequency determination process (step i20).

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the continuous notice frequency determination processing, first, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S51). The continuous announcement flag is set when it is determined that the continuous announcement is performed in the above-described variation pattern determination process. When it is determined whether or not the continuous advance flag is present (step S51), if the continuous advance flag is present (step S51; Yes), it is determined whether or not the continuous advance count counter is "0" (step S52). I do. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not there is a continuous advance flag (step S51), if there is no continuous advance flag (step S51; No), the continuous advance count determination process ends. In determining whether or not the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S52), if the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S52; Yes), it is determined whether or not there is a first special figure notice flag. Is determined (step S53). The first special figure notice flag is set when the execution of the continuous notice is determined based on the first start memory in the above-described variation pattern determination processing. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S52), if the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S52; No), the continuous notice number determination process ends.

  Next, in the determination as to whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S53), when there is the first special figure notice flag (step S53; Yes), the game control device 30 stores the first start notice in the first start storage. A process of acquiring the stored random number value for jackpot determination (step S54) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a start memory storing a random number for jackpot determination that matches the hit value in the first start memory (step S56). )I do. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not there is the first special figure notice flag (step S53), if there is no first special figure notice flag (step S53; No), the game control device 30 stores the first special figure notice flag in the second start storage. A process of acquiring the hit random number for big hit determination (step S55) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a start memory storing a random number for big hit determination that matches the hit value in the second start memory (step S56). I do.

  When it is determined whether or not the acquired start memory (the first start memory or the second start memory) stores the big hit determination random number that matches the hit value (step S56), the big hit determination disturbance that matches the hit value is determined. If there is a numerical value (Step S56; Yes), a process of setting the number of start storages up to the start storage in which the random number value for jackpot determination matching the hit value is stored in the value of the continuous notice number counter (Step S57). Then, the number of start storages up to the start storage in which the random number for jackpot determination matching the hit value is stored is stored as the continuous notice execution scheduled number, and the continuous notice number determination processing ends. In the process (step S57) of setting the start storage number up to the start storage in which the big hit determination random number that matches the hit value is stored, the first start storage and the second start storage are referred to, and the big hit that matches the hit value is determined. A process of setting the number of start memories to be digested according to the digestion order by the start memory in which the random number for determination is stored is performed.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the acquired start memory (the first start memory or the second start memory) stores the big hit determination random number that matches the hit value (step S56), the big hit determination that matches the hit value is made. If there is no random number for use (step S56; No), a process of setting the number of stored start times to the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S58) is performed, and the start stored number is stored as the scheduled number of continuous notice executions. Then, the continuous notice frequency determination processing ends. In the process of setting the number of stored startups to the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S58), a process of setting the first number of stored storages obtained in step S54 or the second number of stored startups obtained in step S55 is performed. .

  The method of setting the value of the continuous notice number counter in step S58 is not limited to this. For example, if the random number for big hit determination is set to 0 to 649 and the hit value is 0, the acquired start If the random number for the jackpot determination in the memory (the first start memory or the second startup memory) is any value between 1 and 199, “2” is set in the continuous notice number counter, and the random number for the jackpot determination is If the number is between 200 and 599, the continuous announcement number counter is set to "3". If the random number for jackpot determination is between 600 and 649, the continuous announcement number counter is set to "4". "May be set.

  Then, when the process of determining the number of continuous notices ends, the game control device 30 performs a command setting process (step i21) and ends the start-up opening 1 monitoring process. In this command setting process (step i21), "big hit information", "losing information", and "staging symbol start" set when it is determined whether or not the big hit random number corresponding to the first start storage number is a big hit. The number of stored "," information on continuous notice (for example, continuous notice information) "and the like are set. The “number of start storages”, “information on continuous notice (for example, continuous notice information)” and the like are transmitted to effect control device 40.

[Starting port 2 monitoring process]
As shown in FIG. 8, in the start-up opening 2 monitoring process, first, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a start winning to the normal variable winning device 7 (step j11).

  In determining whether or not there is a start winning in the normal variable winning device 7 (step j11), a determination is made based on the presence or absence of a game ball detection signal output from the second starting port SW7d. When it is determined whether or not there is a start winning in the normal variable winning device 7 (step j11), if there is no start winning (step j11; No), the start-up opening 2 monitoring process ends.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not there is a start winning in the normal variable winning device 7 (step j11), when there is a starting win (step j11; Yes), the game control device 30 acquires the second start storage number. Is performed (step j12), and it is determined whether or not the second start storage number is 4 or more (step j13).

  When it is determined whether the second start storage number is 4 or more (step j13), if the second start storage number is 4 or more (step j13; Yes), the upper limit value of the second start storage number is set. If it has exceeded, the start-up opening 2 monitoring process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the second start storage number is 4 or more (step j13), if the second start storage number is not 4 or more (step j13; No), the game control device 30 sets the second start A process of incrementing the storage number by 1 (step j14) is performed.

  Thereafter, the game control device 30 performs a process of storing the jackpot random numbers in the jackpot random number save area corresponding to the updated second start storage number (step j15) and a process of storing the jackpot symbol random numbers (step j16).

  The game control device 30 further performs a process (step j17) of extracting a reach determination random value for determining whether or not a reach state is to be generated in the variation display game, and a variation for determining a variation pattern. A pattern determination random number extraction process (step j18) is performed. Then, based on the jackpot random number, the reach determination random number value, and the fluctuation pattern determination random number corresponding to the acquired second start storage number, the game control device 30 performs the special figure reservation information determination process (step j19), The pre-reading process for determining whether or not a random number for big hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the stored second start memory and whether or not to execute the continuous notice is performed before the start of the second special figure variation display game. Do. Note that the special figure suspension information determination processing (step j19) is the same processing as the special figure suspension information determination processing (step i19) in the start-up opening 1 monitoring processing, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  Then, when performing the continuous announcement, the game control device 30 performs the continuous announcement count determination process (step j20), then performs the command setting process (step j21), and ends the start-up opening 2 monitoring process. In this command setting process (step j21), "big hit information", "losing information", and "staging symbol start" set when it is determined whether or not the big hit random number corresponding to the second starting storage number is a big hit. The number of stored "," information on continuous notice (for example, continuous notice information) "and the like are set. The “number of start storages”, “information on continuous notice (for example, continuous notice information)” and the like are transmitted to effect control device 40. The process of determining the number of continuous announcements (step j20) is the same as the process of determining the number of continuous announcements in the start-up opening 1 monitoring process (step i20), and a description thereof will be omitted.

[Tokuzu game branch process]
As shown in FIG. 12, in the special figure game branch processing, the processing to be executed is selected based on the special figure game processing number acquired in the processing for acquiring the special figure game processing number (step i4, step j2). Has become. This special figure game branch processing is processing for controlling execution of the special figure variable display game based on the start memory, and is processing common to both the first special figure variable display game and the second special figure variable display game. . Note that the first execution control means performs the first special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, and the second execution control means performs the special figure game branch processing for the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory. Will be performed.

  In this special figure game branching process, first, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 0 (step S61). When it is determined whether or not the process number is 0 (step S61), if the process number is 0 (step S61; Yes), the game control device 30 performs a special map ordinary process (step S62). In the special figure ordinary processing (step S62), the start of the change of the special symbol is monitored, and the setting of the start of the special symbol change, the setting of the effect, or the setting of the information necessary for performing the special figure ordinary processing is performed. Has become. The details of the special figure ordinary process (step S62) will be described later. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the process number is 0 (step S61), if the process number is not 0 (step S61; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 1 (Step S63) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 1 (step S63). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 1 (step S63), when the processing number is 1 (step S63; Yes), the game control device 30 performs the special figure change start processing 2 (step S64). ). In the special figure change start processing 2 (step S64), information relating to the change of the special symbol is set, and for example, a special figure change display game (first game) based on the first start memory or the second start memory. With the execution of the one special figure change display game or the second special figure change display game), the corresponding first start memory and second start memory are decremented by one. On the other hand, in the determination whether the processing number is 1 (step S63), if the processing number is not 1 (step S63; No), the game control device 30 determines whether the processing number is 2 (Step S65) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 2 (step S65). When it is determined whether or not the process number is 2 (step S65), if the process number is 2 (step S65; Yes), the game control device 30 performs a special figure changing process (step S66). . In the special figure changing process (step S66), the timer for managing the time (variable time or the like) in the special figure changing display game is updated, and information necessary for performing the special figure changing process is set. It has become. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the process number is 2 (step S65), if the process number is not 2 (step S65; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 3 (Step S67) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 3 (step S67). When it is determined whether or not the process number is 3 (step S67), when the process number is 3 (step S67; Yes), the game control device 30 performs a special figure displaying process (step S68). . In the special figure display processing (step S68), the timer for managing the time (stop symbol display time or the like) in the special figure change display game is updated, or when the special figure change display game is a big hit. Information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval processing to be performed is set. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the processing number is 3 (step S67), if the processing number is not 3 (step S67; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the processing number is 4 (Step S69) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the processing number is 4 (step S69). When it is determined whether or not the process number is 4 (step S69), if the process number is 4 (step S69; Yes), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the fanfare / interval is a process relating to the special game state. Processing is performed (step S70). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the processing number is 4 (step S69), if the processing number is not 4 (step S69; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the processing number is 5 (Step S71) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the processing number is 5 (step S71). If it is determined in step S71 that the process number is 5 (step S71), and the process number is 5 (step S71; Yes), the game control device 30 opens the special winning opening, which is a process related to the special game state. Medium processing is performed (step S72). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the processing number is 5 (step S71), if the processing number is not 5 (step S71; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the processing number is 6 (Step S73) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 6 (step S73). In the determination of whether or not the processing number is 6 (step S73), when the processing number is 6 (step S73; Y), the game control device 30 sets the special winning opening remaining as a processing relating to the special game state. Ball processing is performed (step S74). On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the processing number is 6 (step S73), if the processing number is not 6 (step S73; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not the processing number is 7 (Step S75) is performed.

  Next, the game control device 30 determines whether or not the process number is 7 (step S75). When it is determined whether or not the process number is 7 (step S75), if the process number is 7 (step S75; Yes), the game control device 30 performs a big hit end process which is a process relating to the special game state.

On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the process number is 7 (step S75), if the process number is not 7 (step S75; No), the game control device 30 ends the special figure game branching process.

(Normal processing of special maps)
In the special figure ordinary processing performed when the processing number is 0 in the special figure game branching processing, the change start of the special symbol is monitored, and the setting of the special figure change start or the special figure ordinary processing is necessary. Information is set. As shown in FIG. 13, in the special figure ordinary process, first, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a start memory (step S81). When it is determined whether or not there is a start memory (step S81), when there is no start memory (step S81; No), the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a setting for a customer waiting demonstration (step S87). )I do. The case where there is no start memory (step S81; No) is the case where neither the first start memory nor the second start memory is present.

  In the determination as to whether or not a customer waiting demonstration is set (step S87), for example, it is determined whether a customer waiting demonstration flag for setting display of a customer waiting demonstration image on the display device 43 is set. When it is determined whether or not there is a setting for the customer waiting demonstration (step S87), if there is a setting for the customer waiting demonstration (step S87; Yes), the game control device 30 ends the special figure ordinary processing. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not there is a customer waiting demonstration (step S87), if there is no customer waiting demonstration (step S87; No), the game control device 30 sets the customer waiting demonstration command (step S87). S88) is performed, and the special map ordinary process ends.

  Also, in the determination of whether or not there is a start memory (step S81), when there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), the game control device 30 continuously performs effects over a plurality of special figure change display games. A continuous announcement control process (step S82), which is a process related to the continuous announcement, is performed.

  In the continuous announcement control process, as a process related to the continuous announcement, a process of executing the continuous announcement and determining the effect of the continuous announcement is performed. As shown in FIG. 14, in the continuous notice control processing, first, the game control device 30 determines whether or not there is a continuous notice flag (step S91). The determination of whether or not there is a continuous advance flag (step S91) is to determine whether or not there is a continuous advance flag that is set when the continuous advance is being executed. This is a process of determining whether or not the above is true. In the determination as to whether or not there is a continuous advance flag (step S91), if there is no continuous advance flag (step S91; No), that is, if continuous advance is not being executed, the continuous advance control process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined whether there is a continuous advance flag (step S91), if the continuous advance flag is present (step S91; Yes), that is, if the continuous advance is being executed, the value of the continuous advance count counter is set to 1 The process of decrementing is performed (step S92). That is, since the continuous notice is executed in the special figure fluctuation game based on the start memory currently being processed, a process of subtracting that amount from the value of the continuous notice number counter is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the first special map notice flag is present (step S93). In the determination as to whether or not the first special figure notice flag is present (step S93), if there is no first special figure notice flag (step S93; No), that is, the start memory that has triggered the continuous notice is executed. Is not based on the first start-up memory, it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S96). Also, in the determination as to whether or not there is a first special figure notice flag (step S93), when there is the first special figure notice flag (step S93; Yes), that is, the start that has triggered the continuous notice is performed. If the memory is based on the first start memory, it is determined whether or not there is the second start memory (step S94).

  In the determination as to whether or not the start memory is a new second start memory (step S94), it is determined whether the start memory currently being processed is the second start memory newly stored after the setting of the continuous notice flag. If it is determined in step S94 that the new start-up memory is not stored (step S94), it is determined that the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” if the new start-up memory is not new (step S94; No). Is determined (step S96). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not it is a new second start memory (step S94), if it is a new second start memory (step S94; Yes), a continuous notice change control process (step S95) is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S96). That is, when the game control device 30 is executing the continuous effect state based on the start memory stored in the first start storage device (game control device 30), the second start storage device (game control device 30) The start memory determination means determines whether the start memory is stored in the memory.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the continuous announcement change control process, first, whether the second start memory is a hit value, that is, whether a random number for big hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory is determined. Is determined (step S101). In the second start storage, it is determined whether or not a random number for jackpot determination that matches the hit value is stored (step S101). The second start that is currently being processed and newly stored after the continuous announcement flag is set. It is determined whether a random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the storage, that is, whether or not a big hit occurs in the variable display game based on the start storage. In the determination as to whether or not the random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S101), the random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is not stored in the second start memory. In this case (Step S101; No), the process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice number counter by 1 (Step S102), the process of setting the continuous notice change flag (Step S103) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process ends. . When the continuous notice change flag is set, a continuous notice change command is output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure change display game. Accordingly, even if the number of games up to the start memory in which the big hit determination random value matching the hit value is stored by the new second start memory which is preferentially digested over the first start memory is increased, the continuous notice is provided. The number of times can be increased by that amount, and the continuous notice can be executed without giving the player a sense of incompatibility.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S101), the random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory. If yes (step S101; Yes), the first special map notice flag is cleared (step S104), the value of the continuous notice number counter is set to "0" (step S105), and the continuous notice is performed. The change control process ends. With this, when a large hit determination random value that matches the hit value is stored in the new second start memory that is preferentially digested over the first start memory and a big hit occurs, the second start memory is stored in the second start memory. Based on this, the final stage of the continuous announcement can be executed to end the continuous production state, and the continuous announcement can be executed without giving the player a sense of incongruity.

  That is, when the game control device 30 determines that the start memory has been stored in the second winning storage device (game control device 30) based on the determination result by the start memory determination device (game control device 30), The game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the second winning storage means is grasped based on the pre-judgment result by the game result pre-judgment means (game control device 30), and the game result grasped based on the pre-judgment result A game mode selection control means for changing the execution mode of a specific game mode based on the information. To change the execution mode means, for example, to increase or decrease the number of continuous productions, that is, to extend or shorten the continuous production state, thereby causing a problem that the notice by the continuous productions is not satisfied. It is possible to execute an interesting game without causing the player to play the game. In addition, when the game control device 30 recognizes that the start memory is stored in the second prize storage means based on the determination result by the start memory determination means when executing the specific game mode, A game mode selection control means for terminating a specific game mode.

  Returning to FIG. 14, when it is determined whether the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96), when the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96; Yes), Then, a process of setting a continuous notice end flag (step S97), a process of clearing the continuous notice flag (step S98) is performed, and the continuous notice control process ends. That is, in this case, the continuous notice to be performed in the special figure change display game based on the currently stored start memory is the final STEP. On the other hand, when it is determined whether the value of the continuous notice number counter is “0” (step S96), if the value of the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S96; No), the continuous notice control process is performed. finish. In other words, in this case, the continuous notice performed in the special figure change display game based on the start memory currently being processed is not the final STEP, but the continuous notice is continuously performed also in the special figure change display game based on the next consumed start memory. Be executed.

  Next, returning to FIG. 13, the game control device 30 performs a big hit flag setting process (step S83). In the big hit flag setting process (step S83), a big hit flag is set when the big hit determination random number stored in the start memory currently being processed matches the hit value. As the hit value, a predetermined number of first determination values is set in the normal probability state, and the first determination value and a second determination value different from the first determination value are set in the high probability state. After performing the big hit flag setting process (step S83), the special figure stop symbol setting process (step S84) is performed.

Next, the game control device 30 performs a variation pattern setting process (step S85) to determine a variation pattern (set a variation time based on the determination of the second half variation pattern and the first half variation pattern). If the determined variation pattern is cleared in step S39, the variation pattern is determined in step S85. As a result, the game control device 30 sets the game result information at the start of the variable display game after the game result information is determined by the game result pre-judgment means (game control device 30). Perform 30). If the game result information has not been determined by the game result pre-determination means, the game result information setting means has executed the determination of the game result information at the start of the variable display game. If the number of start memories in the second start memory becomes 0 and the start memory is in the first start memory during the probable change state or during the time saving operation, the variable display game is started based on the first start memory. Will be done. At this time, when the game result (stop result) of the variable display game is a big hit, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, when the game result (stop result) is a big hit, Is set in the fluctuation pattern of the above. On the other hand, when the game result (stop result) of the variable display game is out of order, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern for performing the reach effect (reach Aa, reach Bb, reach Cc), In the case of the normal variation pattern without the reach effect, the variation time in the variation pattern based on the first variation pattern number “1” having a longer variation time than the first variation pattern number “2” is set, and during this time, the second start storage is performed. You're going to earn time when it happens. After that, a process of storing the information of the start of the change (step S86) is performed, and the special map ordinary process ends. In the process of storing the information of the start of the change (step S86), the special figure process number is changed to 1, and the special figure change start process 2 is selected in the next special figure game branching process (shown in FIG. 12). Become like
In the special figure suspension information determination process shown in FIG. 9, the jackpot information (step S14) set based on the determination as to whether or not the jackpot random number to be executed has a hit value (step S13), S20) and the variation pattern information (including the continuous notice information and the pseudo consecutive pattern information) determined by the variation pattern determination process (step S21) are stored in the start-up process currently being processed in the big hit flag setting process (step S83). May be cleared when the big hit determination random number value stored in the storage device matches the hit value. This is especially because the result of the variable display game executed based on the start memory currently being processed becomes a special result mode and a special game state (big hit game state) occurs, and after the end of the special game state, (2) Since the control is performed so that the start memory is easily generated, if the information acquired by the above-described special figure suspension information determination processing (FIG. 9) is based on the first start memory, the start corresponding to the acquired information is performed. This causes a situation in which the variable display game based on the memory is not easily executed. Therefore, by clearing the information acquired based on the occurrence of the special game state, the storage area for storing the information can be reduced.
Thereby, the game result pre-judgment means (game control device 30) determines whether the result mode of the currently displayed variable display game is a special result mode, or the first prize storage means (game control device 30) or the second game mode. (2) A game result information initializing means (game control device 30) for clearing the determination result of the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the winning storage means (game control device 30).
In addition, the information based on the first start memory (including the information based on the second start memory) acquired by the above-described special figure suspension information determination process (FIG. 9) is stored in a dedicated area preset in the RAM 31c. Is also good. Then, since the information can be utilized after the end of the control for facilitating the occurrence of the second start memory executed after the end of the special game state, the information can be cleared based on the occurrence of the special game state. There is no need to do it. However, in this case, it is necessary to hold the information without outputting the information until the control for facilitating the generation of the second start memory executed after the end of the special game state ends. As a result, the game result information initializing means (game control device 30) sets the first winning storage means (game control device 30) or the above based on the fact that the result mode of the currently displayed variable display game is the special result mode. Game result information holding means (game control device 30) for holding the determination result of the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the second winning storage means (game control device 30), and outputting the held information to the outside And a game result information external output prohibiting means (game control device 30) for prohibiting the game from being performed.
In addition, a new start is performed during the execution of the continuous announcement (the mission mode is executed in the continuous announcement setting process (step S110 in FIG. 19) executed by the effect control device 40 when the mission mode is determined). When a memory occurs, information obtained based on the occurrence of the start memory (big hit information, miss information, fluctuation pattern information, continuous notice information, pseudo continuous pattern information, etc.) is stored in the start memory currently being processed. The big hit flag setting process (step S83) may clear the big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value.
Thereby, when the variable display game is being executed based on the start memory stored in the first winning storage means (game control device 30), the start memory is stored in the second win storage means (game control device 30). A start storage determination unit (game control device 30) for determining whether or not the game mode is to be performed; and a game mode in which the variable display game is executed among a plurality of game modes, and control of the selected game mode is performed. Game mode selection control means (effect control device 40), and the game result information initialization means (game control device 30) is configured such that a predetermined game mode is executed by the game mode selection control means (effect control device 40). The first winning storage means (game control device 30) or the second winning storage means based on the fact that the result mode of the variable display game being executed in the game mode is a special result mode. The clearing the judgment result of the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the game controller 30).
In addition, a new start is performed during the execution of the continuous announcement (the mission mode is executed in the continuous announcement setting process (step S110 in FIG. 19) executed by the effect control device 40 when the mission mode is determined). When a memory occurs, information (big hit information, miss information, fluctuation pattern information, continuous notice information, pseudo continuous pattern information, etc.) acquired based on the occurrence of the start memory is also stored in the RAM 31c as described above. May be stored. Then, since the information can be utilized after the end of the control for facilitating the occurrence of the second start memory executed after the end of the special game state, the information can be cleared based on the occurrence of the special game state. There is no need to do it. However, in this case, it is necessary to hold the information without outputting the information until the control for facilitating the generation of the second start memory executed after the end of the special game state ends. Thereby, the game result information initializing means (game control device 30) displays the variable display being executed in the game mode when the predetermined game mode is executed by the game mode selection control means (effect control device 40). Based on the result mode of the game being the special result mode, the game result information corresponding to the start memory stored in the first winning storage means (game control device 30) or the second winning storage means (game control device 30) is stored. A game result information holding unit (game control device 30) for holding the determination result; and a game result information external output prohibition unit (game control device 30) for prohibiting outputting the held information to the outside. Become.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of determining a variation pattern. In determining the change pattern, first, the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure change display game, the probability state of the special figure change display game as the current game state (normal probability state or probable change state), the current game state The special figure fluctuation display based on the operation state (normal operation state or specific game state) of the normal fluctuation prize device 7 as the current game state, the production state (normal state or continuous notice state) as the current game state, the starting storage number, and the like. The latter half variation pattern among the variation patterns in the game is determined. Then, the first half variation pattern is determined based on the determined second half variation pattern.

  Here, the first half variation pattern means a variation display mode until the reach state is reached, and the second half variation pattern means a variation display mode after the reach state is reached. The reach state (reach) means that the variable display device has a variable display device whose display state can be changed, the variable display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are predetermined. In the gaming machine in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when the special result mode is set, a part of the plurality of display results has not yet been derived and displayed. It refers to a display state in which the derived display result satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state deviates from the display condition of the special result mode even when the variable display control of the variable display device progresses to a stage before the display result is derived and displayed. Display mode that is not displayed. Then, for example, a state in which a variable display is performed by a plurality of variable display areas while maintaining a state in which the special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the variable display device progresses to a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. Means a display state when at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas satisfy a condition for a special result mode.

  Therefore, for example, the decoration change display game displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to the special figure change display game changes a plurality of pieces of identification information in each of the left, middle, and right change display regions on the display device 43 for a predetermined time. After displaying, if the variable display is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle to display the result mode, the left and right variable display areas satisfy the condition of the special result mode (for example, The variable display mode until the so-called reach state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the first half variable pattern. In the first half variation pattern, a plurality of patterns (first half variation pattern 1, first half variation pattern 2,...) Each having a different effect content are set.

  Then, the fluctuation display mode after the occurrence of the reach state becomes the latter half fluctuation pattern. The latter half variation pattern includes a plurality of reach effects, and reach effects with different possibilities (different degrees of reliability) of deriving a special result mode are reach A operation (normal reach) and reach B operation (normal long reach). , Reach C operation (special reach), and the like. However, when the reach state does not occur, the variation display mode of the special figure variation display game has no variation in the second half variation pattern (no variation in the second half), and includes only the first half variation pattern.

  Note that the variation display modes of the first half variation pattern and the second half variation pattern are not limited to those described above. For example, the first variation is performed until the reach state occurs and the middle variation display area that is varying temporarily stops or the low-speed variation starts. It may be a design that can be changed as appropriate, such as a pattern and the subsequent variable display as a second-half variable pattern. In addition, at the time when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, a state in which any one of the left, middle, and right variable display areas satisfies the condition for the special result mode (for example, the same The state that has become the identification information, except for the special result mode) is set as the reach state, the variable display mode up to this point is set as the first half change pattern, and the remaining one variable display area is variably displayed from the reach state. It is good also as a latter half fluctuation pattern.

  For example, the pattern P1 in FIG. 16 includes the latter half in the case where the game result of the special figure change display game is “losing” and the effect state as the gaming state is “normal state (state not continuous notice)”. The case where the fluctuation pattern is determined to be “second-half fluctuation pattern 1 (no second-half fluctuation)” is shown. In this case, the continuous notice flag, the continuous notice end flag, and the big hit flag are not set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 1” if the total number of start storages at that time is “1-2”.

If the total number of start storages is “3 to 4”, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 2”. Thereby, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern is 7200 ms obtained by adding the latter fluctuation time 0 ms corresponding to “the latter fluctuation pattern 1 (no latter fluctuation)” and the former fluctuation time 7200 ms corresponding to “the former fluctuation pattern 2”.

(Direction selection processing)
Next, the effect selection processing by the effect control device 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 19, in this effect selection process, first, effect control device 40 performs a continuous notice setting process (step S110) for determining the type of the continuous notice to be executed, changing the pattern of the continuous notice, and the like. Then, a pseudo consecutive notice setting process (step S140) is performed to determine the type of pseudo consecutive notice to be executed, to determine whether or not to execute the mission mode, and to set the number of times of the mission mode and the end timing of the mission mode. Mode control processing (step S160) is performed to monitor the state of the vehicle, and a continuous notice is executed based on the second start memory. When the variable display game is executed based on the memory, a notice continuation process for determining whether or not to continuously execute the continuous notice (step S2) 0) is performed, the present process is terminated. The details of the continuous notice setting process (step S110), the pseudo consecutive notice setting process (step S140), the mission mode control process (step S160), and the notice continuing process (step S200) will be described later.

[Continuous notice setting process]
Next, a continuous notice setting process performed by the effect control device 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in the continuous notice setting process, first, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not a storage prefetch command has been received from the game control device 30 (step S111). This memory look-ahead command is a command output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 before the start of the special figure change display game based on the start memory (the first start memory and the second start memory). In the determination of whether or not the storage prefetch command has been received (step S111), when the storage prefetch command has been received (step S111; Yes), the effect control device 40 performs the storage prefetch process 1 (step S112). On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the storage prefetch command has been received (step S111), if the storage prefetch command has not been received (step S111; No), the effect control device 40 proceeds to step S113. The details of the storage prefetch process 1 (step S112) will be described later.

  Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not a continuous notice command has been received from game control device 30 (step S113). When it is determined whether or not the continuous notice command has been received (step S113), if the continuous notice command has been received (step S113; Yes), the process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice count monitoring counter by 1 (step S114). Then, based on the value of the continuous notice number monitoring counter, a selection process (step S115) of which STEP (stage) of the continuous notice is performed in the continuous notice is performed.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice command has been received (step S113), if the continuous notice command has not been received (step S113; No), the effect control device 40 proceeds to step S116.

  Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not a continuous notice change command has been received (step S116). This continuous notice change command is a command output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 at the start of the special figure change display game based on the newly stored second start memory during execution of the continuous notice.

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received (step S116), when the continuous notice change command is received (step S116; Yes), the effect control device 40 selects the continuous notice change effect (step S116). Step S117) is performed. By these processes, the effect stage for change (STEP) is selected as the effect mode. The effect stage for change selected here is an inhibitory effect (cut-in display) that inhibits a specific effect having a series (for example, interrupts the story). The effect stage for change is not limited to such an inhibitory effect, and may be a second specific effect different from the specific effect having a series. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice change command has been received (step S116), if the continuous notice change command has not been received (step S116; No), the process proceeds to step S118.

  Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not a continuous notice end command has been received (step S118). In addition, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118), at the start of the special figure change display game based on the start memory determined to end the continuous notice, the effect control from the game control device 30. It is determined whether a continuous notice end command output to device 40 has been received. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118), if the continuous notice end command has not been received (step S118; No), the effect control device 40 ends the continuous notice setting process. .

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118), if the continuous notice end command has been received (step S118; Yes), the effect control device 40 selects the continuous notice final effect. (Step S119), and the process of setting the value of the continuous notice number monitoring counter to “0” (Step S120). By this processing, the final production stage (STEP) of the continuous announcement is selected as the production mode. If another effect mode is selected before this process, the final effect stage (STEP) of the continuous announcement is selected instead of the selected effect mode.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the variable display game in which the continuous announcement final effect is selected is based on the second startup memory (step S121). In the determination (step S121) of whether or not the variable display game in which the continuous announcement final effect is selected is based on the second start memory, the variable display game in which the continuous announcement final effect is selected is based on the second start memory. (Step S121; Yes), a process of setting a notice continuation monitoring flag used when determining whether to continue the continuous notice (Step S122), and ends the continuous notice setting process. That is, the effect control device 40 constitutes effect storage means for storing that the continuous effect state is executed by the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30). The fact that the continuous effect state is executed by the continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game in the control means (game control device 30) is stored. On the other hand, in the determination (step S121) of whether or not the variable display game in which the continuous advance final effect is selected is based on the second start memory, the variable display game in which the continuous advance final effect is selected is stored in the second start memory. If not (step S121; No), the continuous announcement setting process ends.

[Memory prefetch processing 1]
The storage look-ahead processing 1 determines information included in a storage look-ahead command received from the game control device 30 and determines a fluctuation pattern (corresponding information when information related to a continuous notice is included) based on the information. is there. As shown in FIG. 21, in the storage prefetching process 1, first, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not continuous notice information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S1121).

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice information has been received (step S1121), if the continuous notice information has been received (step S1121; Yes), the effect control device 40 sets the continuous notice number monitoring counter to “0”. It is determined whether or not it is (step S1122). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice information has been received (step S1121), if the continuous notice information has not been received (step S1121; No), the process proceeds to step S1125.

  Next, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice number monitoring counter is “0” (step S1122), if the continuous notice number monitoring counter is “0” (step S1122; Yes), the effect pattern determining random number is used. Is performed (step S1123). More specifically, for example, random numbers for effect pattern determination are prepared from “0” to “49”, and the effect pattern determination table stored in the ROM 40b of the effect control device 40 (FIG. 23 (1)). ), An effect pattern associated with the extracted effect pattern determination random number is selected. More specifically, when the extracted effect pattern determining random number is “11”, “continuous notice pattern A” and “mission mode A” are selected.

  On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the continuous notice number monitoring counter is “0” (step S1122), if the continuous notice number monitoring counter is not “0” (step S1122; No), the process proceeds to step S1125.

  Next, the effect control device 40 performs a process (step S1124) of selecting a type of a notice effect to be executed based on the effect pattern determining random numbers extracted in step S1123. Here, as the types of the notice effects, for example, a continuous notice pattern A (continuous notice by a haunted lantern), a continuous notice pattern B (continuous notice by a potter's wheel), and a continuous notice pattern C (continuous notice pattern as shown in FIG. Continuous notice) and mission modes A to C are provided, and one of them is selected. In the mission mode, a mission (for example, "Let's reach with the symbol of △△ within XX rotations") is presented to the player, and if this mission can be achieved, the announcement will be a big hit. is there.

  Then, in the notice selection process, as shown in FIG. 22, the effect control device 40 first determines whether or not there is a continuous notice execution flag (step S131). In the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice execution flag is present (step S131), if the continuous notice execution flag is present (step S131; Yes), the notice selection processing ends.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice execution flag is present (step S131), if there is no continuous notice execution flag (step S131; No), the effect control device 40 sets the extracted effect pattern determination It is determined whether the value of the random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value (step S132).

  Then, in determining whether or not the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value (step S132), the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value. (Step S132; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the continuous announcement is executed based on the value of the effect pattern determination random number and the game result of the variable display game related to the announcement selection. Is determined (step S133). Here, as a specific example, for example, when the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is “11” and the game result of the variable display game related to the notice selection is “out”, FIG. As shown in (2), a notice effect based on the mission mode A is executed. On the other hand, when the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is “11” and the game result of the variable display game related to the notice selection is “big hit”, as shown in FIG. Will not be performed. At this time, since the announcement effect based on the mission mode A is not executed, it is associated with the extracted effect pattern determination random number “11” based on the effect pattern determination table (see FIG. 23A). "Continuous notice pattern A" is selected as the effect pattern. Then, when it is determined in the determination whether or not the continuous announcement is to be executed (step S133), the continuous announcement is not to be executed (step S133; No), the effect control device 40 sets the effect pattern determination random value and A process of determining a mission mode to be executed is performed based on the game result of the variable display game related to the notice selection (step S134), and the notice selection processing ends.

  On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the value of the extracted effect pattern determining random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value (step S132), the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is not within the range of the notice selection execution value. In the case (Step S132; No), and when it is determined that the continuous notice is to be executed (Step S133; Yes) in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice is executed (Step S133), the effect control device 40 Performs the process of determining the type of continuous announcement to be executed based on the random number for effect pattern determination (step S135), performs the process of setting the continuous announcement running flag (step S136), and then performs the continuous announcement production Is determined (step S137), and the notice selection process ends. Thereby, the game mode selection control means (effect control device 40) executes the continuous effect state when the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) determines to execute the continuous effect state. Or that a specific game mode is to be executed.

  Next, returning to FIG. 21, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not continuous notice change information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S1125). In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice change information has been received (step S1125), if the continuous notice change information has been received (step S1125; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines a continuous notice change effect (step S1125). Step S1126) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice change information has been received (step S1125), if the continuous notice change information has not been received (step S1125; No), the process proceeds to step S1127.

  Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not continuous notice end information has been received from game control device 30 (step S1127). In determining whether or not the continuous notice end information has been received (step S1127), if the continuous notice end information has been received (step S1127; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines the continuous notice final effect (step S1127). Step S1128) is performed, and the storage prefetching process 1 ends. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice end information has been received (step S1127), if the continuous notice end information has not been received (step S1127; No), the storage prefetching process 1 ends.

(Pseudo consecutive notice setting processing)
Next, the pseudo consecutive notice setting process performed by the effect control device 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the pseudo consecutive notice setting process, first, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not a storage prefetch command has been received from the game control device 30 (step S141). This memory look-ahead command is a command output from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40 before the start of the special figure change display game based on the start memory (the first start memory and the second start memory). In the determination of whether or not the storage prefetch command has been received (step S141), when the storage prefetch command has been received (step S141; Yes), the effect control device 40 performs the storage prefetch process 2 (step S142). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the storage prefetch command has been received (step S141), if the storage prefetch command has not been received (step S141; No), the effect control device 40 proceeds to step S143. The details of the storage prefetch process 2 (step S142) will be described later.

  Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not a pseudo consecutive command has been received from game control device 30 (step S143). In the determination of whether or not the pseudo continuous command has been received (step S143), if the pseudo continuous command has been received (step S143; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines the type of the mission mode determined in the memory prefetching process 2. (Step S1427) Or, based on the type of pseudo consecutive notice (step S1428), a process of selecting and setting the effect of the mission mode or the pseudo consecutive notice effect (step S144) is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the pseudo continuous command has been received (step S143), if the pseudo continuous command has not been received (step S143; No), the process proceeds to step S146.

Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not the count value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is saved (stored) in a predetermined area of RAM 40c (step S146). When it is determined whether or not the count value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 40c (step S146), the count value of the mission mode execution number counter is saved (step S146). Yes), the effect control device 40 performs a process (step S147) of setting the information (count value) saved in the predetermined area of the RAM 40c in the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter, and performs the processing in the predetermined area of the RAM 40c. A process (step S148) for clearing the count value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter saved at step S148, a process for setting a continuation flag (step S149), and a process for setting mission continuation display information (step S149) Step S150) is performed.
On the other hand, in determining whether or not the count value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is saved (stored) in a predetermined area of the RAM 40c (step S146), the count value of the mission mode execution number counter is not saved. In this case (Step S146; No), the process proceeds to Step S151.

Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the continuation flag is set (step S151). When it is determined whether or not the continuation flag is set (step S151), if the continuation flag is set (step S151; Yes), the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution counter is decremented by one. (Step S152), and it is determined whether or not the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is “0” (Step S153). In the determination whether the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is "0" (step S153), it is determined that the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is "0". In this case (step S153; Yes), processing for setting mission end display information is performed (step S154), processing for clearing the continuation flag is performed (step S155), and the pseudo consecutive notice setting processing ends.
On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the continuation flag is set (step S151), if the continuation flag is not set (step S151; No), the effect control device 40 determines whether the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter When it is determined that the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is not “0” in the determination of whether the value is “0” (step S153) (step S153; No), the pseudo consecutive notice The setting process ends. Thereby, in the mission mode changing process described later with reference to FIG. 28, the effect control device 40 receives a continuous notice end command from the game control device 30 when the mission mode is being executed, or the first special figure. When the mission mode is executed based on the start memory, the second special figure start memory is generated, and when the second special figure start memory is a hit value, the second special figure start memory is executed after the mission continuation suggestion display is performed. After the end of the special game state, the mission mode is continued and executed.

[Memory prefetch processing 2]
The storage look-ahead processing 2 determines information included in a storage look-ahead command received from the game control device 30 and determines a fluctuation pattern (corresponding information when normal fluctuation pattern information is included) based on the information. is there. As shown in FIG. 25, in the storage prefetching process 2, first, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not normal variation pattern information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S1421).

  In the determination as to whether or not the normal fluctuation pattern information has been received (step S1421), when the normal fluctuation pattern information has been received (step S1421; Yes), the effect control device 40 sets the fluctuation pattern based on the normal fluctuation pattern information. Is performed (step S1422), and the storage prefetching process 2 ends. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the normal variation pattern information has been received (step S1421), when the normal variation pattern information has not been received (step S1421; No), the effect control device 40 It is determined whether or not continuous notice information has been received (step S1423).

  In the determination of whether or not the continuous advance notice information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S1423), if the continuous advance notice information has been received (step S1423; Yes), the storage prefetching process 2 ends. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not continuous notice information has been received from the game control device 30 (step S1423), if continuous notice information has not been received (step S1423; No), a random number for effect pattern determination is extracted. The processing (step S1424) is performed. More specifically, for example, random numbers for effect pattern determination are prepared from “0” to “49”, and the effect pattern determination table stored in the ROM 40b of the effect control device 40 (FIG. 26 (1)). ), An effect pattern associated with the extracted effect pattern determination random number is selected. More specifically, when the extracted random number for effect pattern determination is “11”, “pseudo continuous pattern A” and “mission mode A” are selected.

Next, effect controller 40 determines whether or not the value of the extracted effect pattern determining random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value (step S1425).
Then, in determining whether or not the value of the extracted random number for effect pattern determination is within the range of the notice selection execution value (step S1425), the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value. (Step S1425; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the pseudo consecutive notice is executed based on the value of the effect pattern determination random number and the game result of the variable display game related to the notice selection. Is determined (step S1426). Here, as a specific example, for example, when the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is “11” and the game result of the variable display game related to the advance notice selection is “out”, FIG. As shown in (2), the announcement effect based on the mission mode A is executed. On the other hand, when the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is “11” and the game result of the variable display game related to the notice selection is “big hit”, as shown in FIG. Will not be performed. At this time, since the announcement effect based on the mission mode A is not executed, it is associated with the extracted effect pattern determination random number “11” based on the effect pattern determination table (see FIG. 26A). "Pseudo continuous pattern A" is selected as the effect pattern. If it is determined in the determination whether or not the pseudo consecutive notice is to be executed (step S1426), and the pseudo consecutive notice is not to be executed (step S1426; No), the effect control device 40 performs the effect for determining the effect pattern. Based on the numerical value and the game result of the variable display game related to the advance notice selection, a process of determining a mission mode to be executed (step S1427) is performed, and the memory prefetching process 2 ends.

  On the other hand, in the determination whether the extracted value of the effect pattern determining random number is within the range of the notice selection execution value (step S1425), the value of the extracted effect pattern determination random number is not within the range of the notice selection execution value. In the case (Step S1425; No), when it is determined that the pseudo consecutive notice is executed (Step S1426; Yes) in the determination of whether or not the pseudo consecutive notice is executed (Step S1426), the effect control is performed. The device 40 performs a process of determining the type of the pseudo consecutive announcement to be executed based on the random number value for effect pattern determination (step S1428), and terminates the memory prefetch process 2. Thereby, the game mode selection control means (production control device 40) changes the pseudo continuous production state when the pseudo continuous production execution control means (game control device 30) determines to execute the pseudo continuous production state. This means that the user selects to execute the game or to execute a specific game mode.

[Mission mode control processing]
Next, a mission mode control process performed by the effect control device 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 27, in the mission mode control process, first, effect control device 40 determines whether there is mission determination information for determining whether the effect mode to be executed has been determined to be the mission mode. (Step S161) is performed. When there is no mission determination information (step S161; No) in the determination whether there is mission determination information for determining whether or not the mission mode has been determined as the effect pattern to be executed (step S161; No), The mode control processing ends.

On the other hand, when there is mission determination information (step S161) for determining whether the mission mode is determined as the effect pattern to be executed (step S161), if there is mission determination information (step S161; Yes), It is determined whether the process is based on the reception of the storage prefetch command (step S162), and in the determination whether the process is based on the reception of the storage prefetch command (step S162), the reception of the storage prefetch command is performed. If it is determined that the processing is based on (step S162; Yes), a mission mode change processing (step S163) is performed.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S162 that the process is based on the reception of the storage prefetch command (step S162; No), the mission mode control process is terminated. .

  As shown in FIG. 28, in the mission mode change processing, first, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the continuous notice change information is included in the stored prefetch command received from the game control device 30 (step S181). If it is determined in the determination whether the stored prefetch command received from the game control device 30 includes the continuous notice change information (step S181), the continuous notice change information is included (step S181; Yes), the mission is performed. A process of setting the end display information (step S182) is performed. Next, effect control device 40 performs a process of setting the value of the number-of-mission-mode (M-mode) execution counter to “0” (step S183), and proceeds to step S170 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous advance change information is not included in the storage prefetch command received from the game control device 30 (step S181), it is determined that the continuous advance change information is not included (step S181; No). The effect control device 40 determines whether or not the continuous notice end information is included in the stored prefetch command received from the game control device 30 (step S184).

  When it is determined that the continuous advance notice end information is included in the stored prefetch command received from the game control device 30 (step S184) (step S184; Yes), the effect is produced. The control device 40 performs a process of setting the mission continuation suggestion display information (step S185), performs a process of saving the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution count counter to a predetermined area of the RAM 40c (step S186), and performs a process of step S183. Move to. On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous advance notice end information is not included in the stored prefetch command received from the game control device 30 (step S184), it is determined that the continuous advance notice end information is not included (step S184; No). The effect control device 40 determines whether or not the mission execution flag is present (step S187).

  When it is determined whether or not there is a mission execution flag (step S187), if there is no mission execution flag (step S187; No), the mission mode change process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the mission execution flag is present (step S187), if the mission execution flag is present (step S187; Yes), the effect control device 40 newly generates the second special figure start storage. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step S188).

  In the determination of whether or not the second special figure start memory has newly occurred (step S188), if the second special figure start memory has newly occurred (step S188; Yes), the effect control device 40 will It is determined whether or not the big hit random number acquired with the occurrence of the second start memory matches the hit value (step S190).

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the second special figure start memory has been newly generated (step S188), if the second special figure start memory has not been newly generated (step S188; No), the mission mode ( (M mode) A process of decrementing the value of the execution counter by 1 (step S189) is performed, and the flow shifts to step S170 in FIG.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the jackpot random number acquired with the occurrence of the second start memory is equal to the jackpot random number acquired with the occurrence of the second start memory (step S190). If the hit value matches (step S190; Yes), the process proceeds to step S185. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the big hit random number acquired with the occurrence of the second start memory matches the hit value (step S190), the big hit random number acquired with the occurrence of the second start memory does not match with the hit value. In this case (Step S190; No), the process proceeds to Step S182.

  Thereby, the game mode selection control means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) executes a specific game mode based on the determination result of the game result information by the game result advance determination means (game control device 30). When selecting whether or not to execute the specific game mode, the start memory is stored in the second winning storage means (game control device 30) based on the determination result by the start memory determination means (game control device 30). If this is grasped, it means that the execution mode of the specific game mode has been changed.

  The game mode selection control means, when ascertaining that the start memory has been stored in the second winning storage means based on the determination result by the start memory determination means, stores the start memory stored in the second winning storage means. Is determined based on the preliminary determination result by the game result preliminary determination unit, and the execution mode of the specific game mode is changed based on the game result information determined based on the preliminary determination result. .

  The game mode selection control means, when executing the specific game mode, determines that the start memory is stored in the second winning storage means based on the determination result by the start memory determination means, Is terminated.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a progress status notifying unit (produce control device 40) for notifying the progress status of a specific game mode executed by the game mode selection control unit, and the progress status notifying unit includes a start storage determination unit. It is determined that the start memory has been stored in the second winning storage means, and the result of the variable display game based on the start memory hits the game result information corresponding to the start memory by the preliminary determination by the game result preliminary determination means. When it is determined that the information includes the following information, the game mode selection control unit suggests that the specific game mode is continued even if the specific game mode is ended.

  Further, the progress status notifying means determines that the starting memory is stored in the second winning storage means by the starting memory determining means, and the game result information corresponding to the starting memory is determined by the preliminary determination by the game result preliminary determining means, If it is determined that the result of the variable display game based on the starting memory includes information that is out of the range, the specific game mode is terminated by the game mode selection control means. Will be notified.

  Next, returning to FIG. 27, the effect control device 40 performs a process of acquiring a jackpot random number value in the start-up memory (step S164), and determines whether the acquired jackpot random number matches the hit value (step S165). I do.

  If it is determined whether or not the obtained jackpot random number matches the hit value (step S165), if the obtained jackpot random number matches the hit value (step S165; Yes), the mission mode (M mode) is executed. The process of setting the value of the number-of-times monitoring counter to the number of start storages having the big hit random number that matches the hit value is performed (step S166). On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the acquired jackpot random number matches the hit value (step S165), if the acquired jackpot random number does not match the hit value (step S165; No), the mission mode (M mode) is executed. A process (step S167) of setting the value of the number-of-times monitoring counter to a predetermined number (for example, “20”) is performed. The setting process of the mission mode (M mode) execution number monitoring counter (step S167) is not limited to the case where the number is set to a predetermined number. The lottery means for the mission mode (M mode) execution number monitoring counter number is provided. Thus, the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution count monitoring counter may be set to be distributed to “20”, “30”, or the like.

  Next, effect control device 40 performs a process of setting a mission execution flag (step S168), and performs a process of decrementing the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number monitoring counter by 1 (step S169).

  Next, effect control device 40 determines whether or not the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution count monitoring counter is “0” (step S170). When the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution count monitoring counter is "0" (step S170), when the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution count monitoring counter is "0" ( In step S170; Yes), a process for setting mission end information (step S171), a process for clearing the mission execution flag and the mission mode determination information (step S172), and the mission mode control process ends. On the other hand, in the determination whether the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number monitoring counter is "0" (step S170), if the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number monitoring counter is not "0" (Step S170; No) ends the mission mode control process.

Do. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the notice continuation monitoring flag is present (step S201), if there is no notice continuation monitoring flag (step S201; No), the notice continuation processing is terminated.

  Next, in the determination as to whether or not the normal variation pattern command has been received (step S202), if the normal variation pattern command has been received (step S202; Yes), a process of clearing the advance notice monitoring flag (step S203) is performed. Do. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the normal variation pattern command has been received (step S202), when the normal variation pattern command has not been received (step S202; No), the notice continuation process ends.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not the fluctuation display game according to the received normal fluctuation pattern command is based on the first start memory (step S204). In determining whether or not the received fluctuation display game based on the normal fluctuation pattern command is based on the first start memory (step S204), the fluctuation display game based on the received normal fluctuation pattern command is stored in the first start memory. If it is based on (Step S204; Yes), a process of acquiring a notice continuation random number (Step S205) and a process of reading a notice continuation determination value (Step S206) are performed. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the received fluctuation display game related to the normal fluctuation pattern command is based on the first start memory (step S204), the fluctuation display game corresponding to the received normal fluctuation pattern command is changed to the first start memory. If it is not based on the storage (step S204; No), a process of setting a variation pattern based on the received normal variation pattern command (step S209) is performed, and the notice continuation process ends.

  Next, the effect control device 40 determines whether or not to continue the announcement based on whether or not the announcement continuation random number acquired in step S205 matches the announcement continuation determination value read in step S206 (step S207). . More specifically, a notice continuation determination table is stored in the ROM 31b. More specifically, for example, a notice continuation determination table (notice continuation determination values; “0” to “29”, “41” to “100”) when the game result of the variable display game based on the first start memory is a big hit ) And a table for a continuation of a notice continuation determination when the game result of the variable display game based on the first start memory is out of place (a continuation of the notice determination value; set to “30” to “40”). I have. Then, for example, in a case where the game result of the variable display game based on the first start memory is out of order, if the obtained notice continuation random number is “30”, the notice continuation judgment value is matched, so the notice continuation is executed. It will be.

  Then, in the determination of whether or not to continue the notice (step S207), if the notice is to be continued (step S207; Yes), the process of setting the continuous notice continuation effect information (step S208) is performed, and the notice continuation process is performed. To end. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not to continue the notice (step S207), if the notice is not to be continued (step S207; No), the process of setting the fluctuation pattern based on the received normal fluctuation pattern command (step S207) S209) is performed, and the notice continuation process ends. Thereby, the effect control device 40 changes the completed continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) to the next state based on the storage in the effect storage means (effect control device 40). Effect continuation determining means for determining whether or not to continue even in the variable display game. The effect continuation determining means (effect control device 40) is controlled by the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) when the first winning storage means (game control device 30) stores the starting memory. When the plurality of start memories stored in the second prize storage means (game control device 30) are exhausted due to execution of the effect state, a fluctuation display based on the start memory stored in the first prize storage means. In the game, it is determined whether or not to continue the completed continuous production state. The effect continuation determining means (effect control device 40) determines whether or not to continue the continuous effect state based on the determination result of the game result information by the game result information setting means (game control device 30). Become.

  Next, a timing chart of processing by the game control device 30, processing by the effect control device 40, processing of transmitting a predetermined command from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40, and the like will be described. As shown in FIG. 30, in this example, the special figure fluctuation display game A has already been executed, and there are no first start memories and no second start memories. In this example, a pre-reading process of the next special figure change display game is executed based on the newly stored first start memory when the game ball wins.

  First, as described above, when a game ball wins in the first start winning opening 13 during execution of the special figure change display game A, the first start storage number changes from “0” to “1”. Then, in the game control device 30, when the game ball wins in the first start winning opening 13, the big hit random number based on the first start memory is extracted in the start opening 1 monitoring process (step S11), and the big hit determination is made. (Step S13), and a variation pattern (variation time) determination process (Step S21) is performed.

  Then, the game control device 30 transmits the prefetch information to the effect control device 40 by the command transmission process (step c) even during the special figure variation display game A that has already been executed. Specifically, as the memory look-ahead command, “big hit information”, “missing information”, and “staging symbol start” of the variable display game based on the newly stored first start memory set in the command setting process (step i21). The command based on the "number of storages", "information on continuous notice (for example, continuous notice information)" and the like is transmitted.

  Then, the effect control device 40 that has received the storage look-ahead command including the continuous announcement information extracts the effect pattern determination random number (step S1123) and executes the announcement effect (game mode (continuous announcement, pseudo consecutive announcement, mission mode, etc.) to be executed. )) Is selected in advance (step S1124).

  Thereafter, when a change stop command for the special figure change display game A is transmitted from the game control device 30 to the effect control device 40, the special figure change display game A ends. Then, the game control device 30 performs a variation pattern (variation time) setting process (step S85) in the special figure variation display game B based on the suspended first start memory, and sets variation start information (step S86).

  Then, the game control device 30 transmits the fluctuation command to the effect control device 40 based on the set fluctuation start information by the command transmission process (step c), and the effect control device 40 that has received the fluctuation command The special figure change display game B is executed based on the selected effect pattern. At this time, the first start storage number changes from “1” to “0”.

  Next, an example of a notice effect (game mode (mission mode)) executed by the above processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 31, in this example, first, three first start memories are stored (all of which are random numbers for jackpot determination = “miss”), and the second start memory is zero. The figure variation display game is being executed. At this time, the effect state as the gaming state is a normal state (a state not a continuous notice), and the fluctuation mode of the special figure fluctuation display game is a normal fluctuation (a fluctuation mode other than the continuous notification). Then, in the middle of the special figure change display game, there is a winning of the game ball to the first starting winning opening 13 (the random number for big hit determination = the first determination value (hit value)). In this example, the continuous notice is started from the next special figure change display game (from T0).

[Mission mode STEP1]
At T0 in FIG. 31, processing for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the first digestion order. In this example, in this process, the execution of the mission mode is determined as the specific game mode. In the process at this time, in the start-up opening 1 monitoring process shown in FIG. 7, it is determined that there is a first special figure start winning prize (step i11), and the special figure reservation information determination processing (step i19) is performed. Then, in the special figure pending information determination process shown in FIG. 9, the random number value for the jackpot determination in the first start-up memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that matches the hit value (step S13; Yes). It is set, and a variation pattern determination process (step S21) is performed. In the case of this example, it is determined that the continuous notice is to be executed in the variation pattern determination process (step S40; Yes), the continuous notice information is set, and the continuous notice flag is set. Further, since the start memory that triggered the execution of the continuous notice is based on the first start memory (step S43; Yes), the first special figure notice flag is also set.

Next, FIGS. 33 and 34 show other examples of the announcement effect (game mode (mission mode)) executed by the gaming machine of the present embodiment.
Note that this example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the notice effect (mission mode) shown in FIG. 31, but the second special figure variation display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the notice effect. Is to be out of order. Hereinafter, the same processing will be omitted, and the processing from T3 to T6 in FIG. 33 that is different from FIG. 31 will be mainly described.

[Mission mode STEP 4]
At T3 in FIG. 33, there is a second start memory that is prioritized over the first start memory, so that processing for executing the special figure change display game is performed on the second start memory. In the process at this time, in the start-up opening 2 monitoring process shown in FIG. 8, it is determined that there is a second special figure start winning prize (step j11), and the special figure reservation information determination processing (step j19) is performed. Then, in the special figure hold information determination process shown in FIG. 9, the big hit determination random number value in the second startup memory is a value that does not match the hit value (step S13; No), so the outlier information is set (step S20). At the same time, a variation pattern determination process (step S21) is performed.

  Next, the process proceeds to step j20, and a continuous notice frequency determination process is performed. In the continuous notice number determination process shown in FIG. 11, the continuous notice flag is set (step S51; Yes) and the continuous notice number counter is not “0” (step S52; Yes). finish.

  Next, returning to FIG. 6, the special figure game branching processing (step j3) is performed, and the special figure ordinary processing shown in FIG. 13 is performed. In the special figure ordinary processing shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control processing (step S82) is performed. In the continuous announcement control process shown in FIG. 14, since the continuous announcement flag is present (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous announcement number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92) and set in the continuous announcement number counter. The value is “1”. At this time, since the new second start memory is stored (Step S94; Yes), the continuous notice change control process (Step S95) is performed. In the continuous announcement change control process shown in FIG. 15, since there is no startup memory that stores the random number for jackpot determination that matches the hit value in the second startup memory (Step S101; No), the value of the continuous announcement number counter is incremented by one. Then, the continuous announcement change flag is set (step S103). Then, returning to FIG. 13, the processing from step S83 to step S86 is performed. At this time, the determination of the variation pattern (set of the variation pattern command) and the setting of the continuous notice command as shown in FIG. 16 are performed, and are transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4).

Then, since the continuation flag is set (step S151; Yes), the value of the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is decremented by 1 (step S152), and the mission mode (M mode) execution number counter is decremented. Since the value is not “0” (Step S153; No), the pseudo consecutive announcement setting process ends.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure variation display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 35), the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the effect in the selected mission mode A is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, after the remaining number of missions (here, 16 remaining times) is displayed during the change display of the identification symbol, the change display is stopped and the big hit result mode (for example, “6”) "6" and "6" are displayed. Further, at the timing of T4, after the display of "mission success !?" indicating that there is a possibility that the mission mode may be continued, the display of "big hit !!" and the display of "big hit game" are performed. I do. Therefore, in the execution of the special figure change display game (T3 to T4 in FIG. 35), the effect in the selected mission mode A is temporarily ended, but in the execution of the special figure change display game, it is as if the selected mission mode A was selected. Will be performed as if it were continued.

[Normal fluctuation STEP]
Next, after T4 in FIG. 35, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the fourth digestion order. Note that, in this process, the same process as the process in T5 of FIG. 31 is performed, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

  Next, an example will be described in which the continuous notice is continued after the continuous notice executed by the above processing is completed. As shown in FIG. 36, in this example, first, four first start memories are stored (the random number for big hit determination in the first start memory having the first digestion order = “big hit”), and the second start memory is stored. The state in which the special figure change display game is being executed in a state where three memories are stored (all of which are random numbers for jackpot determination = “outside”). At this time, the effect state as the gaming state is a normal state (a state not a continuous notice), and the fluctuation mode of the special figure fluctuation display game is a normal fluctuation (a fluctuation mode other than the continuous notification). Then, in the middle of the special figure change display game, there is a winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening 13 (the random number value for big hit determination = “outside”), and thereafter, the special figure change display game ends, and the next This is an example in which a continuous notice (from T0) starts from the special figure change display game.

[Continuous notice STEP1]
At T0 in FIG. 36, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the second start memory having the first digestion order. In this example, the execution of the continuous notice is determined in the processing here. In the process at this time, in the start-up opening 2 monitoring process shown in FIG. 8, it is determined that there is a second special figure start winning prize (step j11), and the special figure reservation information determination processing (step j19) is performed.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, the process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and the effect selection process illustrated in FIG. 19 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure variation display game related to the special figure variation display game, the process of determining the contents of the decoration special figure variation display game is performed based on the received variation pattern command. Further, since the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit, a process of selecting the big hit result mode as the result mode is performed. In the notice continuation process (step S200) shown in FIGS. 19 and 29, the effect control device 40 has a notice continuation monitoring flag (step S201; Yes) and receives the normal variation pattern command (step S202; Yes). Therefore, the notice continuation monitoring flag is cleared (step S203). Then, since the variable display game at this time is based on the first start memory (Step S204; Yes), it is determined whether or not to continue the notice (Step S207). Then, at this time, in order to execute the notice continuation (Step S207; Yes), the continuous notice continuation effect information is set (Step S208).

  Then, with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T4 to T5 in FIG. 36), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the continuous notice set by the continuous notice continuous effect information is displayed. In this decoration special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 37 (10), during the change display of the identification symbol, the notice display 43a of “lantern ghost (revival)” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice, and then, as shown in FIG. The reach state is displayed as shown in (11). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 37 (12), the variable display is stopped and the special result mode is displayed.

  Next, another example of the continuous notice executed by the above-described processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 38, in this example, first, three first start memories are stored (all of which are random numbers for jackpot determination = “missing”), and there is no second start memory. The figure variation display game is being executed. At this time, the effect state as the gaming state is a normal state (a state not a continuous notice), and the fluctuation mode of the special figure fluctuation display game is a normal fluctuation (a fluctuation mode other than the continuous notification). Then, in the middle of the special figure change display game, there is a winning of the game ball to the first starting winning opening 13 (the random number for big hit determination = the first determination value (hit value)). In this example, the continuous notice is started from the next special figure change display game (from T0).

[Continuous notice STEP1]
At T0 in FIG. 38, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the first digestion order. In this example, the execution of the continuous notice is determined in the processing here. In the process at this time, in the start-up opening 1 monitoring process shown in FIG. 7, it is determined that there is a first special figure start winning prize (step i11), and the special figure reservation information determination processing (step i19) is performed. Then, in the special figure pending information determination process shown in FIG. 9, the random number value for the jackpot determination in the first start-up memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that matches the hit value (step S13; Yes). It is set, and a variation pattern determination process (step S21) is performed. In the case of this example, it is determined that the continuous notice is to be executed in the variation pattern determination process (step S40; Yes), the continuous notice information is set (step S41), and the continuous notice flag is set (step S41). S42). Further, since the start memory that triggered the execution of the continuous notice is based on the first start memory (step S43; Yes), the first special figure notice flag is also set (step S44).

  Next, the process proceeds to step i20, where a continuous notice frequency determination process is performed. In the continuous notice number determination process shown in FIG. 11, the continuous notice flag is set (step S51; Yes), the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S52; Yes), and the first special figure notice flag is set. Is set (step S53; Yes), and there is a start memory in which a big hit determination random value that matches the hit value is stored in the first start memory (step S56; Yes). The start storage number up to the start storage in which the value is stored is set (step S57). At this time, since the random number for jackpot determination in the first start-up memory having the fourth digestion order is a value that matches the hit value, the value set in the continuous announcement number counter is “4”.

  Next, returning to FIG. 5, since the second start memory is not acquired at this time (step i3; No), the special figure game branch processing (step i5) is performed, and the special figure ordinary processing shown in FIG. 13 is performed. . In the special figure ordinary processing shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control processing (step S82) is performed. In the continuous announcement control process shown in FIG. 14, since the continuous announcement flag is present (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous announcement number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92) and set in the continuous announcement number counter. The value is “3”. Returning to FIG. 13, the processing from step S83 to step S86 is performed. At this time, the determination of the variation pattern (set of the variation pattern command) and the setting of the continuous notice command as shown in FIG. 16 are performed, and are transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4). Also, as shown in FIG. 12, in the special figure change start processing 2 (step S64) performed after the special figure ordinary processing (step S62), the first start storage number is decremented by one, and as shown in FIG. One start memory becomes three.

In the process related to the decoration special figure variation display game related to the special figure variation display game, the process of determining the contents of the decoration special figure variation display game is performed based on the received variation pattern command. Further, since the result of the special figure change display game is out of order, a process of selecting the outgoing result mode as the result mode is performed. In the effect selection processing shown in FIG. 19, first, a continuous notice setting processing (step S110) is performed. As shown in FIG. 20, in the continuous notice setting process, since the storage prefetch command has been received (Step S111; Yes), the storage prefetch process (Step S112) is performed. Then, since the continuous notice number monitoring counter is “0” (step S1122; Yes), the effect pattern determination random number is extracted (step S1123), and the notice selection process (step S1124) is performed. As shown in FIG. 22, in the preview selection process, the type of the continuous preview to be executed (here, the continuous preview by a lantern ghost is selected) is determined based on the extracted random value for effect pattern determination (step S135), A continuous announcement execution flag is set (step S136), and a continuous announcement effect is determined (step S137).

  Then, with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T0 to T1 in FIG. 38), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 39 (1), during the change display of the identification symbol, the notice display 43a of “lantern ghost (??)” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice, As shown in 39 (2), the fluctuation display is stopped, and the result mode of the loss is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP2]
Next, at T1 in FIG. 38, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the second digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that the continuous notice flag is present (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is "2". Become. Then, although the first special map notice flag is present (step S93; Yes), a new second start memory is not stored (step S94; No), and the value of the continuous notice number counter is not "0" (step S94). (S96; No) Therefore, returning to FIG. 13, the processing from step S83 to step S86 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4). In addition, the first start storage number is decremented by 1 in the special figure change start process 2 (step S64) shown in FIG. 12, and the first start storage becomes two as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous announcement in the effect selection process illustrated in FIG. 19 are performed. Since the result of the special figure change display game is out of order, a process of selecting the outgoing result mode is performed as the result mode. In the effect selection process shown in FIG. 19, a continuous announcement setting process (step S110) is performed. As shown in FIG. 20, in the continuous announcement setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (Step S111; No), and since the continuous announcement command has been received (Step S113; Yes), STEP to be displayed from the continuous announcement is selected (Step S113). Here, a continuous announcement effect setting process of selecting the continuous announcement effect in STEP 2) is performed (step S115).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T1 to T2 in FIG. 38), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 39 (3), a notice display 43a of "lantern ghost (???)" is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the change display of the identification symbol, As shown in FIG. 39 (4), the fluctuation display is stopped, and the result mode of the loss is displayed.

  Here, in this example, as shown in FIG. 38, there is a prize of a game ball (big hit determination random value = “losing”) to the normal fluctuation prize device 7 between T1 and T2, and the first start-up memory is 2 And the second start memory is one.

[Continuous notice cut-in STEP]
Next, at T2 in FIG. 38, since there is a second start memory that is prioritized over the first start memory, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed on the second start memory. In this process, the change of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, in the start-up opening 2 monitoring process shown in FIG. 8, it is determined that there is a second special figure start winning prize (step j11), and the special figure reservation information determination processing (step j19) is performed. Then, in the special figure hold information determination process shown in FIG. 9, the big hit determination random number value in the second startup memory is a value that does not match the hit value (step S13; No). A pattern determination process (Step S21) is performed.

  Next, the process proceeds to step j20, and a continuous notice frequency determination process is performed. In the continuous announcement number determination process shown in FIG. 11, the continuous announcement number flag is set (step S51; Yes) and the continuous announcement number counter is not “0” (step S52; No). finish.

  Next, returning to FIG. 6, the special figure game branching processing (step j3) is performed, and the special figure ordinary processing shown in FIG. 13 is performed. In the special figure ordinary processing shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control processing (step S82) is performed. In the continuous announcement control process shown in FIG. 14, since the continuous announcement flag is present (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous announcement number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92) and set in the continuous announcement number counter. The value is “1”. At this time, since the new second start memory is stored (Step S94; Yes), the continuous notice change control process (Step S95) is performed. In the continuous announcement change control process shown in FIG. 15, there is no start memory that stores the random number for jackpot determination that matches the hit value in the second start memory (step S101; No), so the value of the continuous announcement frequency counter is incremented by one. Then (step S102), the value set in the continuous notice number counter becomes "2". Then, the continuous notice change flag is set (step S103). Next, returning to FIG. 13, the processing from step S83 to step S86 is performed. At this time, the determination of the variation pattern (set of the variation pattern command) and the setting of the continuous notice command as shown in FIG. 16 are performed, and are transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4). Also, as shown in FIG. 12, in the special figure change start processing 2 (step S64) performed after the special figure ordinary processing (step S62), the second start storage number is decremented by one, and as shown in FIG. 2 Startup memory becomes zero.

Since the result of the special figure change display game is out of order, a process of selecting the outgoing result mode is performed as the result mode. As shown in FIG. 19, in the effect selection process, first, a continuous announcement setting process (step S110) is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 20, in the continuous announcement setting process, there is no storage prefetch command (Step S111; No), and there is no continuous announcement command (Step S113; No), but there is a continuous announcement change command (Step S113). (S116; Yes), so that the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed by the process of selecting the continuous announcement change effect (step S117) is performed. Here, as a production stage for change, a second specific production (continuous announcement B) different from the specific production (continuous announcement A) having a series is selected, and the specific production having the series is selected. An inhibition effect (cut-in display) that inhibits (for example, interrupts the story) is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 38), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 39 (5), during the change display of the identification symbol, the notice display 43a of “Lantern ghost (No way !!)” is displayed as a continuous notice for a predetermined time, As shown in FIG. 39 (6), the fluctuation display is stopped, and the result mode of the loss is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP3]
Next, at T3 in FIG. 38, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the third digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. In this processing, the same processing as in the above-described continuous notice STEP 2 is performed. As a result, the value set in the continuous notice number counter becomes “1”, the continuous notice command is set, and the effect control is performed later. It is transmitted to the device 40 (step c in FIG. 4). Also, the first start storage number is decremented by one, and as shown in FIG. 38, the first start storage becomes one.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous announcement in the effect selection process illustrated in FIG. 19 are performed. Since the result of the special figure change display game is out of order, a process of selecting the outgoing result mode is performed as the result mode. As shown in FIG. 19, in the effect selection process, first, a continuous announcement setting process (step S110) is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 20, in the continuous announcement setting process, there is no memory prefetch command (step S111; No), and since the continuous announcement command has been received (step S113; Yes), STEP displayed from the continuous announcement is displayed. A process of selection (here, selection of a continuous announcement effect in STEP 3) is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 38), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 39 (7), after the notice display 43a of “lantern ghost (chance!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the change display of the identification symbol, As shown in FIG. 39 (8), the fluctuation display is stopped, and the result mode of the loss is displayed.

[Continuous notice STEP 4]
Next, at T4 in FIG. 38, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the fourth digestion order. In this process, the end of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (Step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (Step S92), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is set to "0". Become. Then, the first special map notice flag is present (step S93; Yes), and a new second start memory is not stored (step S94; No), but the value of the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S93). (S96; Yes), so that the continuous notice end flag is set (step S97) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S98).

  Returning to FIG. 13, the big hit flag setting process (step S83) is performed. Here, the big hit determination random number value in the first start-up memory is a hit value, so a big hit flag is set, and then the processing from step S84 to step S86 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4). In addition, the first start storage number is decremented by 1 in the special figure change start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 12, and the first start storage becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous announcement in the effect selection process illustrated in FIG. 19 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure variation display game related to the special figure variation display game, the process of determining the contents of the decoration special figure variation display game is performed based on the received variation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) as a result mode is performed. In addition, since there is a fluctuation pattern with a reach, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure fluctuation display game to be a reach. As shown in FIG. 19, in the effect selection process, first, a continuous announcement setting process (step S110) is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 20, in the continuous announcement setting process, there is no memory prefetch command (step S111; No), no continuous announcement command (step S113; No), and no continuous announcement change command (step S116; No). ) Has received the continuous notice end command (step S118; Yes). Therefore, by the process of selecting the continuous announcement final effect (step S119), the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (here, selecting the continuous announcement effect of STEP 4) is performed, and the value of the continuous announcement frequency monitoring counter becomes “0”. It is set (step S120).

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T4 to T5 in FIG. 38), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 39 (9), after the notice display 43a of "lantern ghost (super hot !!)" is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the change display of the identification symbol. The reach state is displayed as shown in FIG. After that, the fluctuation display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and a big hit occurs, and a special game state is set.

  From the above, an effect display device (display device 43) capable of executing a variable display game for variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information, and a control unit (game control device 30) for controlling the variable display game performed in the effect display device ) Is provided, and the control means is configured to store the winning number of the game balls that have won the starting winning area in the starting winning award storage means (game control device 30) capable of storing up to a predetermined number as an upper limit. And a game execution control means (game control device 30) capable of executing the variable display game based on the start memory stored in the first start prize storage area (first start prize port 13). First prize storage means (game control device 30) capable of storing the number of game balls won, and second prize capable of storing the number of game balls won in a second start winning region (normally variable winning device 7). Storage means (game control equipment 30), wherein the game execution control means performs execution control of the variable display game based on the starting memory stored in the first winning storage means (game control device 30); A second execution control means (game control device 30) for performing execution control of the variable display game based on the starting memory stored in the winning storage means, wherein the result mode of the variable display game is a predetermined special result. In the case of the mode, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine 100 that generates a special game state in which a predetermined game value can be given to a player, the start memory is stored in the first winning storage means and the second winning storage means. In addition, the priority execution control means (game control device 30) for executing the control by the second execution control means in preference to the control by the first execution control means, and stored in the first winning storage means or the second winning storage means. When a plurality of start memories are stored in the game result pre-judgment means (game control device 30) for preliminarily determining the game result information corresponding to the start memory, and either the first prize storage means or the second prize storage means. A continuous production execution control means (game control) for executing a continuous production state in which a corresponding production execution means of the first execution control means or the second execution control means continuously performs a notice effect over a plurality of variable display games. Device 30), effect storage means (effect control device 40) for storing that the continuous effect state is executed by the continuous effect execution control means, and continuous effect execution control based on the fact that the effect is stored in the effect storage means. Effect continuation determining means (effect control device 40) for determining whether or not to continue the completed continuous effect state executed by the means in the next variable display game. ).

  Therefore, it is possible to determine by the effect continuation determining means that the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means and to be continued in the next variable display game, so that the continuous effect state is executed in various patterns. And can execute interesting games.

  In addition, the special game state is set when the result mode of the variable display game executed and controlled by the second execution control means becomes a predetermined special result mode and the variable display game executed and controlled by the first execution control means. The effect storage means is controlled to be more advantageous to the player than the result mode, and the effect storage means stores that the continuous effect state is executed by the continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game in the second execution control means, and the effect continues. The deciding means, when the start memory is stored in the first prize storage means, uses the continuous effect execution control means to execute the continuous effect state, thereby extinguishing the plurality of start memories stored in the second prize storage means. Then, in the variable display game based on the starting memory stored in the first winning storage means, it is determined whether or not to continue the completed continuous production state. Can.

  Therefore, when the start storage is stored in the first winning storage means by the effect continuation determining means, a plurality of the plurality of stored in the second winning storage means by the continuous effect state being executed by the continuous effect execution control means. When the start memory is consumed, it is possible to determine the continuation of the completed continuous production state in the variable display game based on the start memory stored in the first winning storage means. It is possible to execute an interesting game, and to execute the variable display game by the first execution control means which is inferior to the case where the variable display game is execution controlled by the second execution control means. When the execution is controlled, it is possible to eliminate a disadvantage to the player by performing a novel effect.

  The game result information setting means (game control device 30) for setting the game result information at the start of the variable display game after the game result information is determined by the game result pre-judgment means. If the game result information has not been determined by the result advance determination means, the game result information is determined at the start of the variable display game, and the continuous effect execution control means determines the game result information by the game result advance determination means. Based on the result, it is determined whether or not to execute the continuous effect state, and the effect continuation determining means determines whether to continue the continuous effect state based on the determination result of the game result information by the game result information setting means. be able to.

  With this, it is possible to determine that the continuous production state executed and completed by the continuous production execution control means is continued in the next variable display game, so that the continuous production state can be executed in various patterns, It is possible to execute interesting games, and it is possible to execute an effect that fuses the judgment result of the game result information by the game result pre-judgment means with the judgment result of the game result information by the game result information setting means. Can be performed. Therefore, when the variable display game is controlled to be executed by the first execution control means, which is inferior to the case where the variable display game is controlled to be executed by the second execution control means, a surprising effect is produced, It is possible to prevent the interest of the user from attenuating.

<Modification>
Next, a modified example of the gaming machine of the above-described first embodiment will be described. Basically, the gaming machine has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the above-described embodiment. Hereinafter, portions having the same configuration will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. explain.

  The gaming machine according to the present modified example has a case where a new second start memory is generated during the continuous notice based on the fact that there is a start memory storing a big hit determination random number value that matches the hit value in the first start memory. Then, the continuous notice is interrupted. Then, after the end of the second special figure change display game based on the second start memory, the continuous notice is restarted.

  FIG. 40 shows an example of determination of a fluctuation pattern in the gaming machine of the present modification. In the gaming machine of this modification, P13 to P16 are set in addition to the patterns P1 to P12 in FIG.

  In the pattern P13 of FIG. 40, when the game result of the special figure change display game is “losing”, and when the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interrupted state”, the second half change pattern is “second half change”. Pattern 1 (no change in the latter half) "is shown. In this case, the continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 310”. As a result, in the fluctuation pattern, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the second half fluctuation is no (no reach).

  Also, in the pattern P14 of FIG. 40, when the game result of the special figure change display game is “losing”, and when the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interrupted state”, the latter half change pattern is “ The latter case is determined as the "second half variation pattern 11 (reach A operation)". In this case, the continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 311”. As a result, in the fluctuation pattern, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the latter half fluctuation is reach A operation.

  Also, in the pattern P15 of FIG. 40, when the game result of the special figure change display game is “losing”, and when the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice suspended state”, the latter half change pattern is “ The latter case is determined as the "second half variation pattern 21 (reach B operation)". In this case, the continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 321”. As a result, in the fluctuation pattern, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the latter half fluctuation is reach B operation.

  Also, in the pattern P16 in FIG. 40, when the game result of the special figure change display game is “losing”, and when the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice interrupted state”, the second half change pattern is “ The latter half pattern 31 (reach B operation) is shown. In this case, the continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 331”. As a result, in the fluctuation pattern, the first half fluctuation is normally stopped, and the latter half fluctuation is reach B operation.

  FIGS. 41 and 42 show an example of a continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of the present modified example. Note that this example is an example under the same conditions as the example of the continuous notice shown in FIG. 38. Since basically the same processing is performed, the processing from T2 to T3 in FIG. Will be described.

  The game control device 30 performs a process for executing the special figure change display game with respect to the second start memory since there is the second start memory that is preferentially consumed at T2 in FIG. 41 over the first start memory. , And outputs a continuous notice change command to the effect control device 40. In the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. 20, the effect control device 40 performs a process of selecting a continuous notice change effect (step S117) based on the reception of the continuous notice change command (step S116; Yes). In the process of selecting the continuous notice change effect (step S117), a process of selecting and determining one of the change patterns in the continuous notice interrupted state shown as an example in the patterns P13 to P16 of FIG. Done.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 41), the effect control device 40 displays the decorative special figure change display game on the display device 43. FIGS. 42 (5) and (6) show an example in which the pattern P13 is selected as the variation pattern. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 42 (5), for example, a new display window 43b is displayed on the display device 43, and the decorative special figure change display game (second A special figure change display game) is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 42 (6), the variable display in the display window 43b is stopped, and the result of the loss is displayed. That is, the continuous announcement effect is temporarily interrupted in a state where the continuous announcement A in STEP 2 performed by receiving the continuous announcement command from the game control device 30 at the timing of the time T1 (FIG. 42 (4)). .

  Thereafter, at T3 in FIG. 41, since there is no second start memory, processing for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory, and a continuous notice command is output to the effect control device 40. You. In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, the continuous notice setting process shown in FIG. At this time, a step following the interrupted continuous notice is selected (here, a continuous notice effect of STEP 3 is selected). As a result, as shown in FIG. 42 (7), the continuous notice is restarted.

  With the above processing, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game based on the second start memory is interrupted by the continuous effect state of the first special figure variable display game, and the first special figure variable display game is executed. The continuous production state is interrupted, and after the interruption, when the continuous production state of the first special figure variable display game is restarted, the continuous production state can be resumed from the interrupted place.

  That is, when the game control device 30 determines that the start memory is stored in the second start storage device (game control device 30) by the start memory determination device (game control device 30), the continuous production state being executed is changed. An execution mode interruption unit that interrupts and causes the second execution control unit (game control device 30) to execute and control the variable display game. Further, the game control device 30 constitutes a continuous production resumption unit for resuming the continuous production state interrupted by the execution mode interruption unit.

  In addition, as described above, during the execution of the continuous notice, if the random number for the jackpot determination that matches the hit value is stored in the new second start memory and a big hit occurs, the new second start memory is used based on the second start memory. By executing the final step of the continuous notice, the continuous production state can be ended. That is, the execution mode interruption unit (game control device 30) ends the continuous production state when the special game state is generated based on the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control unit (game control device 30). I try to make it.

  In addition, in the continuous announcement effect, the appearance of the effect symbol may be related. Specifically, for example, as shown in (2), (4), (6), (8), and (10) of FIG. → “6” → “5” → “4” → “3”). This makes it possible to appropriately notify the player that the player is in the continuous notice state.

  Also, when the continuous announcement is resumed, the continuous production state is not resumed from the place where it was interrupted (stage), but is resumed from the stage where the progression stage of the continuous production has advanced beyond the place where it was interrupted (the previous STEP). It is good. In this way, the effect STEP can be skipped and executed, and the player can be made to recognize that the rule of the continuous effect state has been broken, and the player has an expectation of a big hit. You can make it.

<Second embodiment>
Next, a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to a second embodiment will be described. Basically, the pachinko gaming machine 100 has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the above-described first embodiment. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals will be given to portions having the same configuration, and description thereof will be omitted. The different parts will be described.

[Continuous notice change control processing]
As shown in FIG. 43, in the continuous announcement change control process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the game control device 30 first determines whether the second start memory is a hit value, It is determined whether or not a random number for jackpot determination that matches with is stored (step S221).

  In the second start storage, it is determined whether or not the random number for big hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the second start storage (step S221). It is determined whether a random number for jackpot determination that matches the jackpot value is stored in the storage, that is, whether or not a jackpot is to be won in the variable display game based on the start memory. In the determination as to whether or not the random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S221), the random number for hit determination that matches the hit value is not stored in the second start memory. In the case (Step S221; No), the process of obtaining the random number value for jackpot determination stored in the first startup memory is performed (Step S222), and the random number value for jackpot determination stored in the second startup memory is obtained. The process (step S223) is performed, and the continuous notice resetting process (step S224) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 44, in the continuous notice resetting process, first, whether there is a hit value in the first start memory, that is, whether or not a random number for big hit determination that matches the hit value is stored in the first start memory. Is determined (step S231). When it is determined whether or not there is a hit value in the first start memory (step S231), if there is a hit value in the first start memory (step S231; Yes), the continuous notice number counter stores the second notice at this time. A process (step S232) of setting an addition value to the first start storage number up to the first start storage in which the number of start storages and the random number for jackpot determination matching the hit value are stored is performed, and the process returns to FIG. A process of setting a continuous notice change flag (step S225) is performed, and the continuous notice change control process ends.

  On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is a hit value in the first start memory (step S231), if there is no hit value in the first start memory (step S231; No), the continuous notice number counter at this time is The process of setting the added value of the second start storage number and the first start storage number (step S232) is performed, and the process returns to FIG. 43. The continuous notification change flag is set (step S225), and the continuous notification change control is performed. The process ends.

  In addition, in the determination as to whether or not the big hit determination random number that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory (step S221), the big hit determination random value that matches the hit value is stored in the second start memory. If yes (step S221; Yes), a process of acquiring the value of the continuous notice number counter (step S226) is performed, and a process of selecting the pseudo consecutive notice flag based on the remaining value of the continuous notice number counter (step S227). Do. Thereafter, a process of clearing the first special figure notice flag (step S228) is performed, a process of setting the value of the continuous notice number counter to "0" (step S65), and the continuous notice change control process ends. Based on the pseudo consecutive announcement flag set here, a pseudo consecutive effect is executed as described later.

  From the above, the control means (game control device 30) is provided with one start memory stored or held in either the first prize storage means (game control device 30) or the second prize storage means (game control device 30). Pseudo continuous production execution control means (game control device 30) for executing a pseudo continuous production state in which a plurality of pieces of identification information are displayed for a predetermined period of time in a single variable display game and then stopped at least once for a unit variable display. The continuous effect control means (game control device 30) includes a continuous effect game number determining means (game control device 30) for determining the number of variable display games for executing the continuous effect state when executing the continuous effect state. The quasi-continuous effect control means is configured such that the priority execution control means (game control device 30) controls the execution of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control device 30) to the first execution control. When the continuous display state executed by the means (game control device 30) is interrupted in the continuous display state, the result of the variable display game by the second execution control means is a mode in which a special game state can be generated. The specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state is executed by the number of times obtained by subtracting the number of variable display games executed in the continuous effect state from the number of variable display games determined by the continuous effect game number determining means.

  Further, the continuous effect control means may be arranged such that, when the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means into a continuous effect state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, (2) When the result mode of the variable display game by the execution control means is a mode in which no special game state is generated, the continuous production state is restarted based on the start memory stored in the second winning storage means and the first winning storage means. This means that a repetition effect control means (game control device 30) is provided.

  FIG. 45 shows an example of determining a fluctuation pattern in the gaming machine of the present embodiment. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, new fluctuation patterns P17 and P18 are set.

  In the pattern P17 of FIG. 45, when the game result of the special figure change display game is “losing”, and when the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the second half change pattern is “second half change pattern”. 11 (reach A operation) ". In this case, the continuous notice change flag is set. In this case, the first half variation pattern is determined to be “first half variation pattern 111”. As a result, in the variation pattern, the first half variation is a continuous notice (final STEP), and the second half variation is a reach A operation.

  In the pattern P18 in FIG. 45, when the game result of the special figure change display game is “big hit” and the effect state as the game state is “continuous notice state”, the second half change pattern is “second half change pattern”. 11 (special reach A operation). In this case, the pseudo consecutive notice change flag is set. In this case, as the first half variation pattern, a “first half variation pattern 411” that performs a pseudo run from STEPs 2 to 4, a “first half variation pattern 421” that performs a pseudo run from STEPs 3 to 4, and a pseudo run of STEP 4 (final STEP) are performed. One of the “first half variation patterns 431” is selected. Note that the “first half variation pattern 431” performs only the effect of STEP 4 (final STEP), but since it performs the same effect (display, voice, etc.) as other pseudo continuous effects, it is one of the pseudo runs. .

  Each first half variation pattern is selected based on the remaining value of the continuous notice number counter when the new second start memory becomes a big hit. Specifically, when the remaining value is “2”, the “first half variation pattern 411” is set, when the remaining value is “1”, the “first half variation pattern 421” is set, and when the remaining value is “0”, the “first half changing pattern 411” is set. The fluctuation pattern 431 "is selected.

[Continuous notice setting process]
Next, a process performed by the effect control device 40 in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 46, in the continuous announcement setting process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a process of setting a continuous announcement change effect in the continuous announcement setting process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 20 (step S117). ), An effect resetting process (step S241) is performed. The details of the effect resetting process (step S241) will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S116 that the continuous notice change command has been received (step S116), the continuous notice change command has not been received (step S116; No), it is determined whether the continuous notice switch command has been received. (Step S242) is performed. Then, in the determination of whether or not the continuous notice switching command has been received (step S242), if the continuous notice switching command has been received (step S242; Yes), a process of selecting a pseudo continuous notice change effect (step S243). And the process proceeds to step S120. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice switching command has been received (step S242), if the continuous notice switching command has not been received (step S242; No), the process proceeds to step S118.

  As shown in FIG. 47, in the storage prefetching process 1, after performing the process of determining the continuous announcement change effect (step S1126), it is determined whether or not the continuous announcement switching information has been received from the game control device 30 ( Step S251) is performed. In the determination of whether or not the continuous notice switching information has been received (step S251), if the continuous notice switching information has been received (step S251; Yes), the effect control device 40 determines the pseudo consecutive notice effect (step S251). Step S252) is performed. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not the continuous notice switching information has been received (step S251), if the continuous notice switching information has not been received (step S251; No), the process proceeds to step S1127.

(Direction resetting process)
As shown in FIG. 48, in the effect resetting process, first, effect control device 40 performs a process of extracting a continuous announcement effect random number (step S261), and resets based on the extracted continuous announcement effect random number. A process of selecting the type of the continuous notice (step S262) is performed.

  Next, effect control device 40 performs a process of incrementing the value of the continuous notice number monitoring counter by 1 (step S263), performs a process of selecting a continuous notice effect (step S264), and ends the effect resetting process.

  49 and 50 show an example of a continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of the present embodiment. Note that this example is an example under the same conditions as the example of the continuous announcement shown in FIG. 38, and basically the same processing is performed. Therefore, mainly the processing from T2 in FIG. explain.

  At T2 in FIG. 49, the game control device 30 has a second start memory that is prioritized over the first start memory (step S94), so that a continuous notice change control process (step S95) is performed. Then, since the random number for big hit determination in the second start memory is not a hit value (step S221; No), the first start memory (the first start memory number “2” at this time) is obtained and the second start memory is acquired. The start memory (the second start memory number “1” at this time) is acquired, and the continuous notice resetting process (step S224) is performed.

  In this continuous notice resetting process, since the random number value for judging the big hit in the first start memory has a hit value (step S231; Yes), the second start memory number “1” and the hit value of the first start memory are set. An addition value “3” to the start storage number “2” is set in the continuous notice number counter (step S232).

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous preview in the continuous preview setting process illustrated in FIG. Since the result of the special figure change display game is out of order, a process of selecting the outgoing result mode is performed as the result mode. In the continuous announcement setting process, there is no memory prefetch command (Step S111; No), and there is no continuous announcement command (Step S113; No), but there is a continuous announcement change command (Step S116; Yes). The process of resetting the type of the continuous notice to be displayed by the resetting process (step S241) is performed. Here, as the effect for change, a second specific effect (continuous notice B (effect by noppurabo)) different from the specific effect (continuous notice A) having a series of characters is selected.

  Then, with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 49), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 50 (5), during the change display of the identification symbol, the notice display 43a of "Noppurabo (??)" is displayed as a continuous notice for a predetermined time, and then, as shown in FIG. As shown in (6), the variable display is stopped, and the result mode of the loss is displayed.

  Next, at T3 in FIG. 49, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed for the first start memory having the third digestion order. In this process, the continuation of the continuous notice is determined. In this process, the value set in the continuous notice number counter becomes “1”, a continuous notice command is set, and is transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4). Also, the first start storage number is decremented by one, and as shown in FIG. 49, the first start storage becomes one.

  Based on the command received from the game control device 30, the effect control device 40 performs a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous preview in the continuous preview setting process illustrated in FIG. Since the result of the special figure change display game is out of order, a process of selecting the outgoing result mode is performed as the result mode. In the continuous announcement setting process, there is no memory prefetch command (step S111; No), and the continuous announcement command is received (step S113; Yes). The process of selecting a notice effect is performed. At this time, since the type of the continuous effect has been reset from the continuous notice A to the continuous notice B in the previous stage, the display by the continuous notice B is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T3 to T4 in FIG. 49), the decorative special figure change display game is displayed on the display device 43, and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 50 (7), after the notice display 43a of “Noppurabo (???)” is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice during the change display of the identification symbol, As shown in 50 (8), the fluctuation display is stopped, and the result mode of the loss is displayed.

  Next, at T4 in FIG. 49, a process for executing the special figure change display game is performed on the first start memory having the fourth digestion order. In this process, the end of the continuous notice is determined. In the process at this time, in the special figure ordinary process shown in FIG. 13, it is determined that there is a start memory (step S81; Yes), and the continuous notice control process shown in FIG. 14 is performed. In the continuous notice control process, it is determined that there is a continuous notice flag (step S91; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter is decremented by 1 (step S92), and the value set in the continuous notice number counter is set to "0". Become. Then, the first special map notice flag is present (step S93; Yes), and a new second start memory is not stored (step S94; No), but the value of the continuous notice number counter is "0" (step S93). (S96; Yes), so that the continuous notice end flag is set (step S97) and the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S98).

  Returning to FIG. 13, the big hit flag setting process (step S83) is performed. Here, the big hit determination random number value in the first start-up memory is a hit value, so a big hit flag is set, and then the processing from step S84 to step S86 is performed. At this time, a continuous notice end command is set and transmitted to the effect control device 40 later (step c in FIG. 4). In the special figure variation start process 2 (step S14) shown in FIG. 12, the first start storage number is decremented by one, and the first start storage becomes zero as shown in FIG.

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous preview in the continuous preview setting process illustrated in FIG. 46 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure variation display game related to the special figure variation display game, the process of determining the contents of the decoration special figure variation display game is performed based on the received variation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) as a result mode is performed. In addition, since there is a fluctuation pattern with a reach, the game is determined to be a decorative special figure fluctuation display game to be a reach. In the continuous announcement setting process, there is no memory prefetch command (step S111; No), no continuous announcement command (step S113; No), no continuous announcement change command (step S116; No), and the continuous announcement switching command. No (Step S242; No), the continuous notice end command has been received (Step S118; Yes). Therefore, by the process of selecting the continuous announcement final effect (step S119), the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed (here, selecting the continuous announcement effect of STEP4) is performed.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T4 to T5 in FIG. 49), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected consecutive notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure change display game, as shown in FIG. 50 (9), during the change display of the identification symbol, the notice display 43a of “Noppurabo (Chance!)” Is displayed for a predetermined time as a continuous notice, and then, as shown in FIG. The reach state is displayed as shown in (10). After that, the fluctuation display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and a big hit occurs, and a special game state is set.

Next, FIGS. 51 and 52 show other examples of the continuous notice executed by the gaming machine of the present embodiment.
Note that this example is an example under substantially the same conditions as the example of the continuous announcement shown in FIG. 49, but the result of the second special figure change display game based on the second start memory newly generated during the continuous announcement is a big hit. It is supposed to be. Hereinafter, the same processing will be omitted, and the processing from T2 to T3 in FIG. 51 that is different from FIG. 49 will be mainly described.

  Since the game control device 30 has the second start memory that is given priority over the first start memory at T2 in FIG. 51, the continuous announcement change control process (step S95) is performed. Then, since the random number for big hit determination in the second start memory is a hit value (step S221; Yes), the value of the continuous notice number counter (here, 1) is obtained (step S226), and the continuous notice number counter is set. A pseudo consecutive announcement flag is selected based on the remaining value (step S227). Here, since the value of the continuous announcement number counter is “1”, “first half variation pattern 11” associated with “second half variation pattern 421” is selected, and the corresponding pseudo consecutive announcement flag is set. Thereafter, the first special figure notice flag is cleared, and the value of the continuous notice counter is set to 0 (step S228).

  Then, returning to the continuous announcement control process shown in FIG. 14, since the value of the continuous announcement number counter is "0" (step S96; Yes), the continuous announcement end flag is set based on the pseudo consecutive announcement flag (step S97). At the same time, the continuous notice flag is cleared (step S98). Then, in the special map ordinary process (see FIG. 13), a big hit flag is set (step S83), and a continuous notice end command based on the continuous notice end flag is set. (Step c in FIG. 4).

  In the effect control device 40, based on the command received from the game control device 30, a process related to the decoration special figure variable display game related to the special figure variable display game and a process related to the continuous preview in the continuous preview setting process illustrated in FIG. 46 are performed. In the process related to the decoration special figure variation display game related to the special figure variation display game, the process of determining the contents of the decoration special figure variation display game is performed based on the received variation pattern command. Here, since the result of the special figure change display game is a big hit, a process of selecting a big hit result mode (special result mode) as a result mode is performed. In the continuous announcement setting process, there is no memory prefetch command (step S111; No), no continuous announcement command (step S113; No), no continuous announcement change command (step S116; No), and the continuous announcement switching command. No (Step S242; No), the continuous notice end command has been received (Step S118; Yes). Therefore, the process of selecting the STEP to be displayed is performed by the process of selecting the continuous announcement final effect (step S119). Here, the effect control device 40 selects an effect for executing the pseudo consecutive STEPs 3 and 4, which is the continuous preliminary effect for pseudo continuous use, as the continuous preliminary announcement final effect.

  Then, along with the execution of the special figure change display game (from T2 to T3 in FIG. 51), the display special change display game is displayed on the display device 43 and the selected continuous notice is displayed. In this decorative special figure variation display game, pseudo consecutive STEP 3 and pseudo consecutive STEP 4 are executed. That is, the display of (5) to (8) in FIG. 52 is executed in the special figure change display game based on one start memory, as if the special figure change display game was executed twice, and the continuous notice was executed twice. A fluctuating display is performed as if it were warm. After that, the fluctuation display is stopped, the special result mode is displayed, and a big hit occurs, and a special game state is set.

From the above, the control means (game control device 30) is either the first execution control means (game control device 30) or the second execution control means depending on the game state executed in the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 100). In at least one of the variable display games executed by the (game control device 30), a continuous effect prohibition control device (game) that prohibits the occurrence of the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control device (game control device 30) The control device 30) will be provided.
The control means (game control device 30) is configured to execute the first execution control means (game control device) in accordance with a game state executed based on the occurrence of a special game state in the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 100). 30) or at least one of the variable display games executed by the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30), the generation of a specific game mode executed by the game mode selection control means (effect control apparatus 40). A prohibition or suppression effect prohibition control means (game control device 30) will be provided.
Further, the continuous effect prohibition control means includes a continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means when the specific game state is generated by the specific game state generation means (game control device 30). , The generation of the continuous effect state executed is prohibited.

  Therefore, the continuous effect prohibition control means, when the specific game state is generated by the specific game state generating means, the continuous effect executed by the continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means Since the occurrence of the state is prohibited, in the specific game state in which the variable display game is frequently executed by the second execution control unit, a continuous effect state occurs in the variable display game executed by the first execution control unit. When the continuous production state occurs, the starting memory is generated in the second winning storage means, and a problem occurs that the continuous production state in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means does not hold. Can be easily prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the processing from being complicated even if a continuous effect can be executed in the variable display game using a plurality of identification information groups.

  Further, the control means (game control device 30) is based on one start memory stored and held in either the first prize storage means (game control device 30) or the second prize storage means (game control device 30). A pseudo continuous production execution control means (game control device 30) for performing a pseudo continuous production state in which a plurality of pieces of identification information are displayed for a predetermined period of time in a variable display game and then stopped once or more to perform unit fluctuation display; The effect control means (game control device 30) includes a continuous effect game number determining means (game control device 30) for determining the number of variable display games for executing the continuous effect state when executing the continuous effect state, The quasi-continuous effect control means controls execution of the variable display game by the second execution control means (game control device 30) by the priority execution control means (game control device 30). In the case where the continuous production state executed in the variable display game by the control device 30) is interrupted, if the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control means is a mode in which a special game state can be generated, the continuous production state The specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state is executed by the number of times obtained by subtracting the number of variable display games executed in the continuous effect condition from the number of variable display games determined by the game number determining means.

  Therefore, in the case where the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means by the pseudo continuous production control means into the continuous production state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, In a case where the result mode of the variable display game by the second execution control means is a mode in which the special game state can be generated, the change executed in the continuous effect state from the variable display game number determined by the continuous effect game number determining means. Since the specific effect in the pseudo continuous effect state can be executed by the number of times that the number of displayed games is subtracted, the suspicion that a malfunction or the like has occurred in the gaming machine due to the fact that the notice by the continuous effect does not hold does not play. Can be prevented from being held by others, and by performing a specific Te, it is possible to run a game rich in interest.

  Further, the continuous effect control means may be arranged such that, when the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means into a continuous effect state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, (2) When the result mode of the variable display game by the execution control means is a mode in which no special game state is generated, the continuous production state is restarted based on the start memory stored in the second winning storage means and the first winning storage means. This means that a repetition effect control means (game control device 30) is provided.

  Therefore, in the case where the execution control of the variable display game by the second execution control means is interrupted by the priority execution control means into the continuous effect state executed in the variable display game by the first execution control means, the fluctuation by the second execution control means When the result mode of the display game is a mode in which the special game state does not occur, based on the start memory stored in the second prize storage means and the first prize storage means, a continuous production control means for restarting the continuous production state. When the continuous effect state is being executed in the variable display game executed by the first execution control means, a new continuous effect state is generated by utilizing the starting memory stored in the second winning storage means. Can be done. That is, it is possible to execute a game with a lot of interest and to prevent the processing from becoming complicated even if a continuous effect can be executed in a variable display game using a plurality of identification information groups.

<Third embodiment>
Next, a description will be given of a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to a third embodiment. Basically, the pachinko gaming machine 100 has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the above-described first embodiment. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals will be given to portions having the same configuration, and description thereof will be omitted. The different parts will be described.

[Variation pattern determination processing]
Next, a process performed by the gaming control device 30 in the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 53, in the variation pattern determination processing in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, whether the variation pattern determination processing in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In the determination (step S37), when it is not during the probable change or the time reduction (step S37; No), it is determined whether the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S301). ing. When it is determined whether or not the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S301), if the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S301; Yes), Then, control goes to a step S39. On the other hand, when it is determined whether the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S301), when the newly stored start memory is not the second start memory (step S301; No), The process proceeds to step S40.

That is, if the specific game state is not generated by the specific game state generating means (game control apparatus 30), the continuous performance prohibition control means (game control apparatus 30) uses the second execution control means (game control apparatus 30). In the variable display game to be executed, generation of the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means (game control device 30) is prohibited.
The effect prohibition control means (game control device 30) is executed by the second execution control means (game control device 30) when the specific game state is not generated by the specific game state generation means (game control device 30). In the variable display game to be performed, the generation of the specific game mode executed by the game mode selection control means (the effect control device 40) is prohibited or suppressed.

  Therefore, when the specific game state is not generated by the specific game state generating means, the generation of the continuous effect state executed by the continuous effect execution control means in the variable display game executed by the second execution control means is prohibited. In the state where the variable display game is frequently executed by the first execution control means, a continuous effect state occurs in the variable display game being executed by the first execution control means, and the continuous effect state occurs. Then, a start memory is generated in the second winning storage means, and a continuous effect state is generated in the variable display game being executed by the second execution control means based on the start memory stored in the second winning storage means. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of an event that makes processing extremely complicated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the processing from being complicated even if a continuous effect can be executed in the variable display game using a plurality of identification information groups.

  In the variation pattern determination process of FIG. 53, when the game is in a specific game state (probable variation or during working hours) (step S37; Yes), and the startup memory based on the variation pattern determination process is not based on the second startup memory. In this case, that is, when the first start memory is used (step S38; No), the continuous notice is not executed based on the first start memory, but the continuous notice is performed based on the first start memory. May be executed. In this way, when in the hidden probability change state (latency probability change state), the effect contents and occurrence frequency of the normal game state and the continuous announcement can be made common, and the player is not informed that the hidden probability change state is in progress. You can do so.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, a description will be given of a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to a fourth embodiment. Basically, the pachinko gaming machine 100 has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the above-described first embodiment. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals will be given to portions having the same configuration, and description thereof will be omitted. The different parts will be described.

Makes a determination as to whether it is during probability change or time saving (step S401), and determines whether it is during probability change or time reduction (step S401) if it is not during probability change or time reduction (step S401). ; No) moves to step S11. On the other hand, in the determination of whether the vehicle is during the probable change or the time saving (step S401), if the probable change or the time saving is being performed (step S401; Yes), the newly stored start memory is the second start memory. It is determined whether or not there is (step S402). When it is determined whether the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S402), when the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S402; Yes), Then, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when it is determined whether or not the newly stored start memory is the second start memory (step S402), if the newly stored start memory is not the second start memory (step S402; No), This processing ends.

Thus, during the specific game state (during probable change or during working hours), it is possible to prohibit the pre-reading process using the first start-up memory, while enabling the pre-reading process using the second start-up memory. That is, during the specific game state (during probable change or during working hours), by prohibiting the pre-reading process using the first start-up memory, the execution of the continuous announcement and the determination of the execution of the pseudo consecutive announcement are inhibited, and as a result, Therefore, the execution of the mission mode is prohibited.
In addition, during the normal gaming state, it is possible to make it possible to execute both the pre-reading process based on the first start storage and the pre-reading process based on the second start storage.

  In the special figure suspension information determination process in FIG. 54, even when the specific game state is in progress (probable change or during working hours) (step S401; Yes), the normal variable prize winning device 7 is not extended. Alternatively, a prefetching process using the first start storage may be executed.

<Fifth embodiment>
Next, a description will be given of a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to a fifth embodiment. Basically, the pachinko gaming machine 100 has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the above-described fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configuration, and description thereof will be omitted. The different parts will be described.

[Special figure pending information judgment processing]

As shown in FIG. 55, in the special figure reservation information determination processing in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the special figure reservation information determination processing in the gaming machine of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. A determination is made as to whether it is during a probable change or working hours (step S401). If it is not during a probable change or working hours (step S401; No) ) Determines whether the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501). When it is determined whether the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501), when the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501; Yes), Then, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when it is determined whether the newly stored start memory is the first start memory (step S501), if the newly stored start memory is not the first start memory (step S501; No), This processing ends.

Thus, during the specific game state (during probable change or during working hours), it is possible to prohibit the pre-reading process using the first start-up memory, while enabling the pre-reading process using the second start-up memory. That is, during the specific game state (during probable change or during working hours), by prohibiting the pre-reading process using the first start-up memory, the execution of the continuous announcement and the determination of the execution of the pseudo consecutive announcement are inhibited, and as a result, Therefore, the execution of the mission mode is prohibited.
In addition, during the normal gaming state, the prefetching process based on the first start storage can be executed, while the prefetching process based on the second start storage can be prohibited.

In the special figure suspension information determination process in FIG. 55, if the game is in the specific game state (probable change or during working hours) (step S401; Yes), this process may be terminated. That is, during the specific game state, the design may be such that both the continuous announcement based on the first start memory and the continuous announcement based on the second start memory are both prohibited.
In addition, when it is not during the specific game state (during probable change or during working hours) (step S401; No), this processing may be ended. That is, during the normal game state, the design may be such that both the continuous notice based on the first start memory and the continuous notice based on the second start memory are both prohibited.
