Description

Pachinko game machines.

The most popular Pachinko game machines at present are called "special symbols" (or main game symbols) on the display of 7-segment etc. when a game ball enters the starting opening (start chucker). When the special symbol is variably displayed and the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, "7"), a special gaming state in which the player has a higher profit than the normal gaming state (a large winning opening in a normally closed state) This is a type of machine (a so-called "first-class pachinko game machine") in which (a so-called attacker) shifts to a game of which contents are opened under a predetermined condition}. Here, in order to reduce the load of the display control of the special symbol that is directly connected to the profit of the player, in addition to the above-mentioned "special symbol", it is referred to as a "decorative symbol" for production to enhance the interest of the game. The symbol to be displayed is variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. Then, when the variation of the special symbol is started, the variation of the decorative symbol is also started in accordance with this, and when the special symbol is stopped in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol is also in a predetermined mode (for example, in accordance with this). It will stop at "777"). Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game has been confirmed by stopping the decorative pattern in a predetermined mode.

Here, since the mechanism is common in this type of pachinko game machine, in order to differentiate from other types, how to devise a high degree of interest in the overall production including the variation mode of the symbol The focus is on giving. For example, when the variable display of the "special symbol" cannot be started, it is equipped with a function to hold the variable display when the game ball enters the starting opening, and the game contents at the time of the hold digestion are pre-set. One of them is a method of improving the interest of the game by making a notification or suggestion (so-called prefetching effect).

Form for carrying out

First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. "Entering a ball" includes not only winning in which prize balls are paid out, but also passing through a "through chucker" in which prize balls are not paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as it can identify the type of information through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, such as numbers, letters, and patterns. And the like. In addition, in the present specification, the "identification information" may be referred to as a main game design/special design (special drawing) or a decorative design (construction drawing), but the "special design (special drawing)" is a main control board. The display information is identification information controlled by the side, and the "decorative pattern (design)" is identification information as an effect displayed on the sub-control board side. The "display of identification information" is not limited to any display method, and includes, for example, light emission of a light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7-segment) (including not only light emission but also color difference), physical Display (for example, a symbol drawn on the reel band is stopped and displayed at a predetermined position) and the like. The “draft” refers to display contents that enhance the interest of the game, and includes, for example, fluctuations in the identification information, stoppages, advance notices, moving images such as animation and live action, still images such as pictures, photographs, characters, and the like. A combination can be mentioned. The "open state, open state" and "closed state, closed state" are, for example, in a general big winning opening (so-called attacker) configuration, open state = easy winning state, closed state = non-winning state. It will be in an easy state. Further, for example, a state of protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter, may be referred to as an advancing state) and a state of retracting inside the game board (opposite side of the player side) (hereinafter, referred to as a retracted state) In a configuration (so-called Vero-type attacker) that can take "there is", the advancing state = easy winning state, and the withdrawal state = non-winning state. A "random number" is a random number used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard random number Soft numbers as random numbers and pseudo-random numbers). For example, a so-called "basic random number" that affects the result of the game, specifically, a "winning random number (random number for winning/non-winning lottery)" associated with the transition of the special game, a variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol is determined. "Variation mode determination random number" to do, "Symbol determination random number" to determine a stop symbol, "Hit symbol determination random number" to determine whether to move to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. When determining the contents of the variation mode and the contents of the final identification information, it is not necessary to use all of these random numbers, and at least one random number that is the same or different from each other may be used. In this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers. However, once the entrance (for example, starting entrance) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers The random number acquired by entering the ball is called one (that is, in the above example, a bundle of random numbers including winning random number + variation mode determination random number + symbol determination random number... Is called one random number) .. Further, for example, one kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). The "gaming state" is, for example, a special gaming state in which the special winning opening may be opened, a transition to the special gaming state, a transition to the special gaming state rather than a non-probability variation gaming state in which the lottery probability is a predetermined value. Probability variation with a high probability of lottery game state, transition to special game Auxiliary game state with assistance for winning in the starting mouth that triggers the lottery (so-called normal symbol time saving state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting mouth) In this case, the open period of the variable member is long, the open probability of the variable member is high, the notification time of the open result of the variable member is short), and the like.

The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko game machines are mixed (type 1 type 1 multifunction machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also within the range when it is applied to other game machines (for example, conventional first-class, second-class, third-class, pachinko game machines such as general electric officers). .. Note that the present embodiment is merely an example, and the locations and functions of each means, the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of turning flags on and off, the name of the means that performs the processing of each step, and the like, It is not limited to the following modes. Further, the above-described embodiments and modified examples should not be limitedly understood to be applied to specific ones, and may be any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification to one embodiment is a modification to another embodiment, and that one modification and another modification may be described independently. It should be understood that a combination of the modification and the other modification is also described. Further, in the present embodiment, a lottery table and a reference table exist for various tables, but these are not limited, and the lottery table may be used as the reference table or vice versa. Furthermore, the numerical value as a specific example shown in the following embodiments and modified examples (for example, the winning probability at the time of lottery execution, the maximum number of rounds at the time of special game, the symbol variation time, the number of continuations in each gaming state, etc.) is This is merely an example, and particularly under different conditions (for example, the condition of the first main game side and the condition of the second main game side, the condition of the probability variation game and the non-probability variation game, and the time reduction game It is understood that the magnitude relations and combinations of the numerical values shown in (in terms of conditions such as time shortening game, etc.) may be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the following embodiments and modifications. Should. For example, between the first main game side and the second main game side, the size relationship in the winning probability at the time of executing the lottery and the expected value of the maximum number of rounds at the time of special game are the first main game side=the second main game side. Even if it is illustrated as such, the size relationship may be changed appropriately such that the first main game side<the second main game side, or the first main game side>the second main game side. Good (same for other values and conditions). Also, for example, as a continuation number of the probability variation game state, when configuring based on the idea that it continues until the next big hit occurs, whether "65535" is set as the continuation number (configured to continue substantially), Alternatively, even if the realization method options based on the same purpose such as maintaining the probability varying game state until the next big hit occurs without setting the number of continuations, as long as it does not largely deviate from the spirit of the following embodiments or modifications. Should be understood to be appropriately changed.

Next, FIG. 5 is a main flowchart showing a flow of general processing performed by the main control board M. After the power of the game machine is turned on, the process of FIG. That is, after turning on the power of the gaming machine and performing initial settings (not shown, initialization of registers, setting of input/output ports, etc.), in step 1002, the main control board M is a RAM clear button. Check the input port of and check whether the reset button (RAM clear button) of the power supply unit E has been operated.
That is, it is determined whether or not the game room manager intentionally performed an operation to clear the contents of the RAM. If Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub-main control section SM side (even if it is transmitted at this timing). Alternatively, the command may be set at the timing and transmitted in the control command transmitting process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1002, in step 1008, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power failure and the RAM area are saved in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information that is present). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power failure is accurately backed up in the RAM). If Yes in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (RAM clearing process described above). On the other hand, if No in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, in step 1012, the main control board M stores various data stored in the RAM of the main control board M (backed up) at the time of power interruption. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at the timing, or the command may be set at the timing and the control command described later). It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M causes an execution scheduled interrupt (for example, a hardware interrupt at about every 1.5 ms) related to the main processing on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt period is set to T) (as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, the process shown in FIG. 9B is executed), and the process proceeds to step 1018. .. After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, random number counter increment processing) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

Next, the timer interrupt process will be described. The main control board M executes the process of FIG. 9B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, triggered by the arrival of the regular interrupt cycle T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1200, the main control board M executes the electric auditors product drive determination processing described later.

Next, in step 1500, the main control board M executes a later-described special game operating condition determination process. Next, in step 1600, the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1910, the main control board M (particularly, the prize ball payout determination means MH) performs prize ball payout control processing (drive control of the prize ball payout device KE, etc. based on the winning opening in which the game ball wins). The payout control board KH is caused to execute the processing, and the processing for managing the result) is executed. Next, in step 1920, the main control board M executes an external signal output process (information output to the external terminal board, the hall computer HC, etc.). Next, in step 1930, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-main control unit side), and is executed immediately before execution of this interrupt process. It returns to the processing that was.

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

Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the auxiliary game starting entrance ball determining means MJ11-H determines whether or not a game ball has entered (inflowing or passing in case of a gate) the auxiliary game starting opening H10. If Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination executing means MJ21-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and whether the holding balls are not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). Determine whether. If Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination executing means MJ21-H acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H sets a random number in the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H together with information indicating how many pieces are held. Is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1200). Even if No in Steps 1102 and 1104, the process proceeds to the next process (process in Step 1200).

Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the electric accessory driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing condition determination means MP21-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the electric auditors opening flag is OFF. Determine whether there is. If Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing condition determination means MP21-B refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is set. It is determined whether it is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing condition determining means MP21-B accesses the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H to hold balls for the auxiliary game symbol. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the auxiliary game symbol determination means MN41-H refers to the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H to set the game state on the auxiliary game side (the flag state of the auxiliary game shortened flag). Along with the acquisition, the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H is referred to, and the stop symbol is determined based on the acquired auxiliary game side game state and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, the auxiliary game shortened flag). When is ON, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than when it is OFF) and is temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H.

Here, the right side of the figure is an example of the auxiliary game stop symbol determination lottery table. As shown in the table, in this example, the stop symbol "D0, D1, D2" is present, and the stop symbol that is the winning symbol is "D1, D2", which is caused by the stop of each. In the non-time shortening game, when the stopped symbol is "D1", the opening mode is (0.2 seconds open→closed) and stopped. When the design is "D2", the release mode is (open for 0.2 seconds→close for 0.8 seconds→open for 5.0 seconds, close) (longest open). Also, at the time shortening game, when the stopped symbol is "D1", the opening mode is (1 second opened → 1 second closed → 1 second opened → 1 second closed → 1 second opened → closed) and stopped When the symbol is “D2”, the opening mode is configured to be (0.2 seconds open→0.8 seconds closed→4.0 seconds open→closed). Incidentally, the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol "D0" during the non-time reduction game, and the stop symbol is likely to be a hit symbol "D1" during the time reduction game.

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

Next, in step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H, and determines whether or not a predetermined time relating to the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol is reached. To do. If Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control unit MP11-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage unit MB11b-H to acquire the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol, and the acquired auxiliary symbol. The stop symbol of the game symbol is confirmed and displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display portion H21g. Then, in step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H.

Next, in step 1230, the second main game starting port electric auditors product opening/closing condition determining means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is "hit" (D1, D2 in this example). To judge. In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing control means MP20-B is in an opening mode (for example, a winning symbol "D1") based on the winning symbol and the game state on the auxiliary gaming side. In the case of 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed, in the case of the winning symbol "D2", 0.2 second open, 0.8 Second closing, opening mode of 5 seconds open) is determined, and a predetermined time relating to the opening time (opening/closing time) of the electric accessory is set in the second main game starting opening electric accessory opening timer MP22t-B. Next, in step 1234, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing control means MP20-B turns on the electric auditors opening flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. .. Then, in step 1236, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing control means MP20-B opens the second main gaming starting mouth electric auditors object B11d. In the present embodiment, when the main game short time flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is the predetermined hit symbol (D2), the second main game starting port electric auditors product B11d is kept open for the longest time. Has been done.

Next, in step 1242, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing control means MP20-B refers to the second main gaming starting mouth electric auditors opening timer MP22t-B to determine the opening time of the electric auditors. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in steps 1244 and 1246, the second main game starting opening electric auditors product opening/closing control means MP20-B closes the second main gaming starting mouth electric auditors object B11d, and the auxiliary gaming state temporarily. The electric accessory opening flag in the flag area of the storage means MB10-H is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1300).

In addition, in the case of No in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1242, in the case of No in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224, and in the case of No in step 1206, step 1224, step 1230 and step 1242, the next process The process moves to (processing of step 1300).

Further, in this flowchart, for convenience, immediately after the stop symbol is displayed in step 1226, the process proceeds to the next step, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, it may be configured to move to the next process after a stop display fixed time of about 500 ms (for example, this process is performed by performing a branch process using a stop display fixed flag and a timer). Achievable).

Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the first main game starting mouth entrance determining means MJ11-A determines the first main game starting entrance entering information from the first main game starting entrance detecting device A11s of the first main starting opening A10. Is received. If Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination executing means MJ21-A refers to the first main game symbol reservation information temporary storage means MJ32b-A to refer to the main game (especially the first main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to (side) is not the upper limit (for example, 4 balls). If Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, the winning/non-winning lottery random number for determining win/fail, the symbol lottery random number for determining the winning symbol, and the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the variation mode lottery random number for performing are acquired. By the way, these three random numbers are generated by random number generation means having different update cycles and random number ranges, and are sequentially acquired at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-A. .. Next, in step 1310, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold random number separation information on the basis of the hold information (random number for win/loss) (the main game table 1 in FIG. 11 for the random number break information). See). Next, in step 1312, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold symbol information based on the hold information (random number for symbol lottery) (see the main game table 2 in FIG. 11 for the symbol information). Next, in step 1314, the suspension control unit MJ30 determines the stored variation variation random number delimiter information, non-time saving variation variation range, and time saving variation variation range based on the suspension information (variation determination random number) ( For the variation mode random number division information, the non-time saving variation aspect range, and the time saving variation aspect range, refer to the main game table 3 in FIG. 12).

As described above, in the present embodiment, the variation mode random number delimiter information and the non-time saving variation when the main game content determination random number (the first main game content determination random number or the second main game content determination random number) is acquired (or when the hold occurs) It is configured to determine a mode range and a time variation mode range.

Next, in step 1316, the hold control means MJ30 causes the new hold occurrence command (information indicating that the first main game is held, information regarding the number of holds, winning/discarding random number segment information, symbol information, variation mode random number segmenting information, etc. Command for the sub main control unit SM is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process of step 1930). In the case where the symbol information is configured to be transmitted to the sub side as in the present embodiment, an effect suggesting a big hit may be executed as an effect executed on the sub side. It is desirable to configure so that the player can be notified of the stop symbol of the main game symbol that is a big hit (only when the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit, the stop symbol is notified). Further, in this example, the hold prefetching effect ("hit notice effect" that suggests the possibility of a big hit, "hit pattern notice effect" that suggests a big hit pattern in case of a big hit, and suggests the effect contents to be executed. In order to execute the "pattern notice effect" etc.), information such as winning and rejecting random number delimiter information (and symbol information in case of big hit, variation mode random number delimiter information) is transmitted to the sub side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the information necessary for the effect to be executed may be transmitted to the sub side, for example, in the case of executing the hold-ahead read-ahead effect that suggests the content of the special game in the case of a big hit In addition to the winning/discarding random number delimiter information, delimiter information delimited by the number of rounds, the special winning opening opening pattern, the gaming state after the end of the special game, etc. It can be configured to be able to send to. With such a configuration, on the sub side, information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol (especially, the jackpot symbol) received from the main side (the number of rounds of the special game, the special winning opening opening pattern, after the special game is finished) It is possible to determine the transition game state, etc.) and execute the prefetch effect related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol (and the progress of the game executed based on the stop symbol).

Next, in step 1322, the second main game starting entrance ball determining unit MJ11-B uses the second main game starting entrance detecting device B11s of the second main starting hole B10 to enter the second main starting entrance ball. Determine whether information has been received. If Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B refers to the second main game symbol reservation information temporary storage means MJ32b-B, and the main game (especially the second main game). It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls related to (side) is not the upper limit (for example, four). If Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the second main game random number acquisition determination executing means MJ21-B acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers, that is, the winning/missing lottery random number, the symbol lottery random number, and the variation mode lottery random number are acquired, as in the first main game content determining means. By the way, an acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and an acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, a win/loss lot number for the first main game and a win/loss lot number for the second main game) The acquisition range) is set to the same. Next, in step 1328, the second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B. ..

Next, in step 1330, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold random number division information on the basis of the hold information (random number for win/loss) (the main game table 1 in FIG. See). Next, in step 1332, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored hold symbol information based on the hold information (random number for symbol lottery) (see the main game table 2 in FIG. 11 for the symbol information). Next, in step 1334, the hold control means MJ30 determines the stored change mode random number delimiter information, non-time saving change mode range and time saving mode change range based on the hold information (random number for change mode determination) ( For the variation mode random number division information, the non-time saving variation aspect range, and the time saving variation aspect range, refer to the main game table 3 in FIG. 12).

Next, in step 1336, the hold control means MJ30 causes the new hold occurrence command (information indicating that the second main game is held, information regarding the number of holds, random number break information for winning/decreasing, symbol information, random number break information for variation mode, etc. Command relating to the sub main control unit SM) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process of step 1930), and the next process (step 1400). If No at step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1322, and if No at step 1322 or step 1324, the next process (the process of step 1400) is performed.

Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display processing relating to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1401, the hold digestion control means MJ31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B, and confirms whether or not the hold of the second main game symbol does not exist. If Yes in step 1401, in step 1400(1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1500). On the other hand, if No in step 1401, in step 1400(2), the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process, which will be described later, and shifts to the next process (process in step 1500).

Thus, in the present embodiment, when there is a reserve ball for the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the reserve ball for the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the retention of the first main game symbol) It is configured to give priority to executing the second main game symbol holding digest, but it is not limited to this (holding digest based on winning order or both main game symbols in parallel). It may be configured to execute a parallel lottery in which the lottery is selectively performed).

Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display processing (second main game symbol display processing), which is related to the subroutine of step 1400(1) {step 1400(2)} in FIG. Since this process is substantially the same as the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the second main game symbol side will be described. Write in parentheses. First, in step 1403, the holding digestion control means MJ31 determines whether or not the fluctuation start condition is satisfied. Here, the fluctuation start condition is not in the special game (or condition device is operating), and is not in the main game symbol fluctuation, and the condition that there is a hold of the main game symbol. Although not shown in this example, if a fixed fixed time (after the fixed display of the main game symbol is displayed, the fixed display symbol is stopped and displayed) is provided, during the fixed fixed time, the variable start condition of the next variation May not be satisfied.

In the case of Yes in step 1403, in steps 1405 and 1406, the holding digestion control means MJ31, the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B) Temporarily stored, while reading the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation, the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game The symbol reservation information temporary storage means MJ32b-B) is deleted, and the remaining information that is temporarily stored is shifted (holding digest processing). Next, in step 1410-1, the win/loss lottery means MN10 refers to the first main game win/loss lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game win/loss lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state, 1 Main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially, winning lottery random number) Based on the main game symbol win/win lottery.

Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of the first main game win/loss lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game win/loss lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-probability varying gaming state. The winning probability is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, in the present embodiment, a hit (so-called small hit) in which the game state cannot be shifted is not illustrated, but a small hit may occur (small hit is won).

Further, as shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, the winning/losing random number segment information is determined by the winning/winning lottery random number. The hit/no hit random number delimiter information has three hit numbers, a win/loss break 2, a win/fail break 2, and a win/fail break 3, on both the first main game side and the second main game side. It is a win/loss random number division information that becomes a big hit and also becomes a big jackpot in the probability variation game state. The win/loss break 3 is win/fail random number break information that is lost during the non-stochastic variation game state and also misses during the probability variation game state.

Next, in step 1410-2, the first main game symbol determination means MN41-A (second main game symbol determination means MN41-B), the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game Referring to the symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), with regard to the main game symbol based on the main game symbol win/loss result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (in particular, symbol lottery random number) Stop symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when a big hit is won, from among a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, "4A/5A/7A" and "4B/5B/7B") One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a jackpot symbol. The number of rounds of the special game determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. It should be noted that the random number value and the type of the stop symbol are also merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lost symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols are provided. Alternatively, when a specific symbol is stopped and displayed, a state (a limited frequency state) in which the type and/or the selection rate of the variation mode of the main game symbol is different from that before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed. Yes, for example, it may be configured to shift to a state in which the variation mode is determined by referring to a table in which the type and/or the selection rate of the variation mode of the main game symbol is different from the case of not being in the limited frequency state. Further, in that case, the trigger for switching the variation mode determination table to be referred to is a stop display of a predetermined symbol (a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, a specific losing symbol, etc.), or a predetermined number of times of change from the stop display of the predetermined symbol, And so on.

Next, at step 1410-3, the first main game variation mode determining means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determining means MN51-B) draws the first main game variation mode determining lottery corresponding to each game state. Referring to the table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B), the main game symbol win/loss result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially, variation) The variation mode of the main game symbol is determined based on the mode lottery random number), these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol is determined based on the winning/non-winning lottery result of the main game symbol and the state of the main game time saving flag. That is, when the winning/winning lottery result of the main game symbol is a win, the variation mode in which the variation time is relatively long is likely to be determined, and when the main game time saving flag is on (time saving game state), It is configured so that the variation mode in which the variation time is short can be easily determined. Note that this example is merely an example, and there is no limitation on the type of variation mode (variation time), the selection rate, or the like. Further, the symbol variation time of the first main game side in the time shortening game state (when the main game time reduction flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {the symbol variation on the second main game side. When it is configured to be advantageous for the player to be executed, the second main game side is likely to be held by reducing the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (which is advantageous for the player. It is particularly effective in the case where the starting opening on the first main gaming side and the starting opening on the second main gaming side cannot be separated for the purpose of constructing a situation}. Further, the variable time may be relatively different depending on the number of holdings, in which case, during the non-time shortening game state, in the first main game symbol fluctuation, depending on the number of holdings of the first main game side While switching the variation mode determination table to be referred to, in the second main game symbol variation, it is configured not to switch the variation mode determination table according to the number of reserves of the second main game side (and the first main game side) Good. Further, during the time shortening game state, in the second main game symbol variation, while switching the variation mode determination table to be referred to according to the number of holdings of the second main game side, in the first main game symbol variation, the first main game Do not switch the variation mode determination table according to the number of reserves on the side (and the second main game side) (that is, depending on the game state, the variation mode determination table may be switched depending on the number of reserves relating to the variation that mainly occurs). You may comprise.

Further, as shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the variation mode random number delimiter information is determined by the variation mode determination random number. The variation mode random number division information is provided in each table when the first main game side hits, when the first main game side loses, when the second main game side hits, and when the second main game side loses. The first main game side is hit, the first main game side is missed, and the second main game side is missed, and is divided into five variable breaks from variable break 1 to variable break 5. , The variable division 1 to variation division 3 are divided into three variation divisions when the second main game side hits. Further, the variation mode in which the variation time of the main game symbol is the shortest is determined in variation section 1, and the variation aspect in which the variation time of the main game symbol is the longest time is determined in variation section 3 or 5. There is.

Further, the main game time saving flag is turned on/off so that the random time range of the fluctuation time and the fluctuation mode range can be different (for example, the range of random numbers is different even in the same range 1). By transmitting the delimiter information to the sub side, it is configured so that the sub side can derive both variation modes in the case of the time-reduced game state and the case of the non-time-reduced game state. In addition, the variation mode range is provided from range 1 to range 3. Further, by configuring in this way, when the game state transitions between the occurrence of the hold and the digestion of the hold, the variation mode range that was planned when the hold occurred and the variation mode that was executed when the hold was digested It will be different from the range (for example, the variation mode range was planned to be range 1 because of the non-time-reduced game state at the time of occurrence of the hold, but actually it became the time-reduced game state when the hold was exhausted. The variation mode range of can be range 2.) In the present example, the variation time included in each range is the same variation time (for example, variation time is 10 seconds or less variation in range 1 regardless of whether or not the game is in a time shortening game state at the time of loss). However, the variation time that can be selected is completely different (for example, in the non-time-reduced game state, the variation time of 10 to 120 seconds is selected, and in the time-reduced game state, , 1 to 5 seconds, and 10 seconds of variation time is selected), instead of dividing the variation mode range by the absolute variation time that does not depend on the game state, the relative in a certain game state The variation mode range is divided according to the variation time (for example, in the non-time shortened game state, the variation time is 10 to 15 seconds, the variation 1; in the time reduction game state, the variation time is 1 to 1.5 seconds. It may be configured such that it is separated from the range 1. Further, the range is not limited to being divided according to the variation time, and for example, range information divided based on the execution content of the effect (for example, any one of the reach effects in which the character A appears is executed. The range A) may be transmitted to the sub side. The range A) may be transmitted to the sub side.

In addition, as an example in which the variation mode range that is scheduled by the transition of the game state and the variation mode range that is actually executed may differ from each other, (1) there are a plurality of suspensions in the main game suspension. In a situation where there is a main game hold, a certain hold in the main game hold is digested to become a big hit (or a small hit), and the game state transitions after the special game related to the certain hold ends (or after the bonus game related to the small hit ends) (for example, , Transition from the non-probability variation game state to the probability variation game state), an example in which the variation mode range of the hold in the main game hold remaining when the certain hold is exhausted may be different, (2) after the end of the special game (Or after the end of the small hit) The transition of the game state triggered by the change of the main game symbol a predetermined number of times (for example, the time-saving game state after the special game ends, the main game symbol changes 50 times after the end of the special game) It is configured so that it can be changed to a non-time shortened game state at the timing of, etc.), and the hold that occurs before the end of the change of the main game symbol for the predetermined number of times after the end of the special game (or after the end of the small hit) is special. An example in which the variation mode range may be different if it is digested after the variation of the main game symbol of a predetermined number of times after the end of the game, (3) The variation of the main game symbol when the game state is a probability variation game state It is configured to execute a lottery (so-called falling lottery) that shifts to a non-stochastic variation game state every time, and trigger hold occurs in the probability variation game state, and it changes due to winning the falling lottery before the trigger hold is exhausted Examples in which the range of aspects may differ are given.

In the present embodiment, the same variation mode range is set by turning on/off the main game time saving flag (for example, range 1 when the main game time saving flag is on and range 1 when the main game time saving flag is off, Etc.), the range of random numbers included in the same variation mode range may be different, and variation mode random number delimiter information (for example, the first main There are a plurality of variation divisions 2 when the game variation mode determination table is hit. In addition, the variation mode random number delimiter information (for example, the first main number) that includes only the range of random numbers included in both cases of turning on and off of the main game short-time flag within the range of random numbers included in the same variation mode range. There is also a variation delimiter 1 when the game variation mode determination table is hit, and the like). It should be noted that the number of types of variation mode random number delimiter information in each table (for example, five variation delimiters 1 to 5) is based on the number of types of variation mode range (for example, three of range 1 to range 3). Is configured to increase.

Further, in the present embodiment, the range 3 within the variation mode range can be selected as the variation mode range only when the variation time (120 seconds in this example), which is the longest selectable time, is planned. It is configured. Therefore, when range 3 of the variation modes is selected, the degree of expectation that the jackpot is the highest is high (the proportion of the variation modes that can be selected is large). Further, in the present embodiment, the range 3 is configured to be more easily selected (the range of random numbers is wider) in the non-time-reduced game state than in the time-reduced game state (during the time-reduced game state (especially , Time shortening/probability fluctuation game state) is configured so that a fluctuation having a short fluctuation time is easily selected, so that the time required for the next big hit can be shortened and the stress of the game can be reduced. Also, in the time shortening game state, the second main game starting port electric accessory B11d is likely to be opened, it is easy to enter the second main game starting port B10, and it is difficult for a situation where there is no hold to occur. .. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured such that the range 3 is more easily selected when in the time reduction game state than in the non-time reduction game state {during time reduction game (especially time reduction/probability variation game Since (during state) is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than during the non-time-reduced gaming state, it is effective to use the production with a high degree of expectation to stir the expectation of the player}. Further, in the present embodiment, the range 3 is selected as the variation mode range only when the variation time is the longest that can be selected, but the invention is not limited to this, and the variation mode range is not limited to this. It may be configured to select when the variation time is scheduled, and may be selected only when the variation time range other than the range 3 is increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the number of variation time ranges. There is no problem with the variation mode range.

Further, in the present embodiment, the range of random numbers included in the variation time and variation mode range may be different depending on whether the main game short-time flag is on or off, but the gaming state is a non-stochastic variation gaming state. It is configured so that the range of random numbers included in the fluctuation time and/or the fluctuation mode range can be different depending on whether it is a probability fluctuation game state, the table to be referred to is a normal fluctuation mode determination table, a limited frequency table, or the like. You may.

Next, in step 1414, the game content determination means MN, the design variation display start instruction command (stop design information, stop design attribute information) temporarily stored in the first and second main game design information temporary storage means MB11b-C. , Information regarding the determined main game symbol such as variation mode information and a command relating to the current game state) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission in step 1930). It is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the processing). Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets a predetermined time relating to the variation time of the main game symbol in the first and second main game symbol variation management timer MP11t-C. To do. Next, in step 1417, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C, the first main game symbol display portion A21g (of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). On the second main game symbol display portion B21g), according to the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, the variable display of the main game symbol is started. Next, in step 1418, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn on the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, The process moves to step 1420.

On the other hand, if No in step 1403, in step 1419, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refer to the flag areas of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C to change. It is determined whether the medium flag is on. If Yes in step 1419, the process moves to step 1420, and if No in step 1419, the process moves to the next process (process of step 1500).

Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines whether or not a predetermined time relating to the variation time of the main game symbol has been reached. If Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C set the symbol variation end command in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control section SM side. (It is transmitted to the sub-main control section SM side by the control command transmission process of step 1930). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C, the first main game symbol display portion A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20)). Stop the variable display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display portion B21g), and display the stop symbol stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C as a fixed stop symbol. Control. Next, in step 1428, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn off the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. ..

Next, in step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. To do. If Yes in step 1430, in step 1432, the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. On the other hand, if No in step 1430, step 1432 is skipped.

Next, in step 1450, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and shifts to the next process (process of step 1500). Even if No in step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1500).

Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and determines whether or not the main game probability variation flag is off. If Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time saving counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than 0. If Yes in step 1454, in step 1456, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the counter value of the time saving counter MP52c. Next, in a step 1458, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the hour/hour count counter MP52c, and determines whether or not the counter value (remaining hour/hour count) is 0. If Yes in step 1458, in step 1460 and step 1462, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and then Process (process of step 1500). Even if No in Steps 1452, 1454, and 1458, the process proceeds to the next process (process in Step 1500).

Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the special game operating condition determination processing related to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination means MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is ON. If Yes in step 1502, step 15
At 14, the special game control means MP30 turns off the specific game flags (main game probability change flag/main game short time flag/auxiliary game short time flag) in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Next, in a step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time saving counter MP52c. Next, at step 1520, the special game control means MP30 turns on the special game shift permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1522, the special game control means MP30 turns off the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1600). Even if No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game control process related to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether or not the special game shift permission flag is ON. If Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the special game execution flag. Turn on. Next, at step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game execution means MP33 sets information (special game start display instruction command) to start the special game in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side ( In the control command transmission process of step 1930, it is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side), and the process proceeds to step 1612.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. Then, if Yes in step 1610, the process moves to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the special game permission has not been given, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1910).

Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. Determine whether there is. If Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution means MP33 sets the release pattern set in the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b (for example, keeps releasing). Opening pattern, opening and closing pattern). Next, in a step 1616, the special game executing means MP33 clears the value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in a step 1618, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1620, the special game execution means MP33 sets the first special winning opening electric prize C11d of the first special winning opening C10 (or the second special winning entrance electric prize C21d of the second special winning opening C20). It drives and opens the 1st special winning opening C10 (or 2nd special winning opening C20), sets predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) to timer MP34t for special games (especially opening time timer), and starts 1622. Move to. On the other hand, if No in step 1612, that is, if the special winning opening is open, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processes of steps 1614 to 1620.

Next, in step 1622, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command relating to the current special game (for example, the current number of rounds or the number of winning game balls) to the sub-main control section SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1930). Next, in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and determines a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) to the first special winning opening C10 (or the second special winning opening C20) in the round. ) Determines whether or not there is a winning ball. If Yes in step 1624, the process moves to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, in step 1626, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (particularly the opening time timer), and the predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to the opening of the special winning opening is It is determined whether or not it has passed. If Yes at step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. When the result in step 1626 is No, the process moves to the next process (process in step 1910).

Next, in step 1628, the special game execution means MP33 determines the first special winning opening electric prize C11d of the first special winning opening C10 (or the second special winning entrance electric prize C21d of the second special winning opening C20). The driving is stopped and the first special winning opening C10 (or the second special winning opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means MP33 resets the special game timer MP34t (particularly the open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1633, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1634, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the final round has ended (for example, a round number counter in the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b). It is determined whether or not the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds. If Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1638, the special game execution means MP33 sets information (special game end display instruction command) indicating that the special game is ended in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control section SM side. (Transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process of step 1930). Then, in a step 1650, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and shifts to the next process (a process of step 1910). Even if No in step 1634, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1910).

Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game, which is related to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probability variation big hit symbol (in this example, 5A/5B/7A/7B). ) Is determined. If Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability variation flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1658. On the other hand, if No in step 1652, in step 1656, the specific game control means MP50 sets the counter value of the time saving counter MP52c to a predetermined number (50 times in this example), and proceeds to step 1658. Next, in step 1658 and step 1660, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game short time flag and the auxiliary game short time flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and the next process (step 1910).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 to 27, a control process executed on the sub-main control section SM side will be described. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart of the sub control board S side (particularly, the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko game machine according to the present embodiment. Here, (a) sub-main control unit side main processing is processing on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after a reset such as power-on of the gaming machine. That is, at the time of power-on (or reset) of the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub-main control unit SM interrupts after execution of interrupt processing to return to the processing that was being executed when the interrupt processing occurred. Allocates a stack area to store the address of the processing being executed when the processing occurs (determines the size and position), and stack pointer (returns from interrupt processing to the original processing) at the beginning (initial position) of the stack area. In this case, a pointer indicating the storage location of the address to be referred to is set.

Here, the stack area is an area for storing data by a mechanism of LIFO (LastInFirstOut: the last entered data is taken out first). By being configured in this way, during a certain interrupt processing Even if another interrupt process occurs, the address of the process that was being executed when the interrupt process that occurred last (and the return to the original process was not completed) (the address of the process that should be returned) Will always be retrieved. In this example, processing such as storing data in the stack area and updating the stack pointer is not shown.

Next, in step 2004, the sub-main control unit SM prohibits the generation of all interrupt processing (all interrupt processing is executed after completion of processing related to processing execution preparation in steps 2006 to 2010 described later). It is supposed to be).

Next, in step 2006, the sub main control unit SM executes hardware initialization and basic settings (register initialization, input/output port setting, etc.).

Next, in step 2008, the sub-main control unit SM initializes a RAM (a random access memory, which is a so-called temporary storage area in which writing and reading are possible). Next, in step 2010, the sub-main control unit SM loads the program stored in the ROM into the RAM. It should be noted that the processing (program development processing from ROM to RAM) is intended to speed up the processing by developing the program in the RAM, which has a faster processing speed than the ROM.

Next, in step 2012, the sub-main control unit SM permits generation of (d) main command reception interrupt processing, which will be described later.

Next, in step 2014, the sub-main control unit SM executes processing for setting an error valid in the gaming machine. Here, in the development of gaming machines, all errors used in various gaming machines (for example, normal 1 type + 1 type type gaming machine, 1 type + 2 type type gaming machine, Tamakashi type gaming machine, etc.) By developing a program capable of executing control processing and sharing the program with various game machines, it becomes possible to reduce the development cost of the game machine. As such, when using a program capable of executing all error control processes, in the process, the process of validating the error control process to be used in the gaming machine (invalidating the process related to the unused error) is performed. It is necessary.

Next, in step 2016, the sub-main control unit SM turns off all the electric decoration lamps D26 (in order to turn off the lamps that are turned on due to the influence of noise, etc., regardless of whether the electric decoration lamp D26 is turned on or off. First, the process related to turning off is executed).

Next, in step 2018, the sub-main control unit SM increments the value every predetermined time regardless of the operation of the software, which is a watchdog timer (not shown, but a timer managed on the hardware side). The timer is set to an initial value (for example, 0) to start, and the routine proceeds to the sub-main side routine of FIG.

Here, the watchdog timer is provided with a watchdog mechanism that detects a program runaway (for example, an infinite loop of processing or a stop of processing) and forcibly resets the sub-main control unit SM to recover from the runaway. It is a timer for. The process relating to the watchdog mechanism will be described in detail later.

Next, in the figure, (b) after the process of the sub-main side routine, in step 2020, the sub-main control unit SM is caused to sleep (shift to the power saving mode), and then the process is terminated. Although it is configured, the sub-main side routine of FIG. 7B has a structure in which a predetermined process is looped internally. Therefore, when the program is operating normally, the process of step 2020 and the process Termination is not executed. However, when the address for executing the process is replaced by the address in which the program of step 2020 is stored due to the influence of noise or the like, the sub-main control unit SM is put to sleep and the process is terminated. It has been done.

Next, when the sub-main side routine of FIG. 9B is executed, first, in step 2022, the sub-main control unit SM stores the program loaded in the RAM in the above-described processing (processing of step 2010). The leading address of the area being read is obtained (the obtained address will be used to execute the process of checking whether the program loaded in the RAM is loaded correctly).

Next, in step 2024, the sub-main control unit SM permits the generation of all interrupt processes (details of the interrupt processes will be described later).

Next, in step 2026, the sub-main control unit SM executes an initial operation relating to a device such as a motor or a solenoid for driving a performance accessory or the like, and thereafter, steps 2028 to 2030 (or step 2032). The process shifts to the loop process of repeatedly executing the process of ). Although not particularly shown in this example, during the execution of the initial operation, even if the drive timing of the device is reached, the initial operation is preferentially executed.

Next, in step 2028, the sub main control unit SM resets (zero-clears) the value of the watchdog timer. As described above, since the reset processing of the watchdog timer is configured to be executed in the loop processing of step 2028 to step 2030 (or step 2032) in FIG. Each time it is repeated, the value of the watchdog timer will be reset. On the other hand, the loop processing is not executed normally, and the value of the watchdog timer is set to a predetermined runaway detection value time (based on the time related to loop processing, interrupt processing, etc.) In the above case, the watchdog activation interrupt process, which will be described later, is executed, and the reset process of the sub-main control unit SM is executed.

Next, in step 2100, the sub-main control unit SM confirms inputs from various sensors (fraud detection sensor, button input sensor, etc.). It is possible to eliminate an input error due to noise by deciding that the sensor detects an input when the signal from the sensor is ON for a predetermined number of times in succession.

Next, in step 2200, the sub-main control unit SM executes an error notification process based on the error occurrence state (the notification process may be executed as appropriate according to the type of error that has occurred).

Next, in step 2300, the sub-main control unit SM executes the effect to be executed based on the input from the sub-input button SB (for example, button continuous hit effect, button long press effect, etc.).
The effect corresponding to the operation of the sub input button SB is displayed).

Next, as the notice lottery management process in the production during the game, the processes of steps 2400 to 2800 are executed. First, in step 2400, the sub-main control unit SM executes a pending information management/display content determination/display control process described later. Next, in step 2600, the sub-main control unit SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2700, the sub-main control unit SM executes a decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2800, the sub-main control section SM executes special game-related display control processing, which will be described later. In this example, in the decorative symbol display content determination process described later, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined based on the information related to the variation of the drawing from the main side, but the invention is not limited to this. Although not shown in particular in this example, in the loop processing of step 2028 to step 2030 or step 2032 in the sub-main side routine of FIG. 7B (preferably immediately above the notice lottery management processing), the main It may be configured such that a stop symbol (particularly, a lost symbol) of a decorative symbol can be determined without depending on the information related to the change in the drawing from the side. In such a configuration, for example, each time the loop processing is executed, the value of the counter that counts the value of 0 to 999 is incremented, and the three-digit value of the counter is set to the hundreds digit on the left symbol, the tenth digit. The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined by associating the position with the middle symbol and the one digit with the right symbol, respectively (for example, when the counter value is 290, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is “2.9.0”). (Determine) method {In this case, if the counter value is a value that is not suitable as a lost symbol (for example, 777), the counter value is incremented again, etc., and the counter value is updated to a value suitable for the lost symbol. It is necessary to perform a process} or, provided with a table in which an appropriate lost symbol and a symbol number are associated with each other, by updating the symbol number each time the loop process is executed, a method for determining the symbol, etc. It may be configured to update.

When the advance notice lottery management processing of steps 2400 to 2800 is executed, next, in step 3000, the sub-main control unit SM executes the operation control of the device (for example, it is determined in the advance notice lottery management processing. In addition, the drive pattern of each device is set according to the execution timing of the production using the device).

Next, in step 3100, the sub-main control unit SM analyzes the content of the command received from the main side in (d) main command reception interrupt processing described later, and temporarily stores information related to the analyzed command. .. In this example, in the above-mentioned notice lottery management process (processes of Step 2400 to Step 2800), the stop symbol of the decorative symbol, the variation pattern, and the contents of the notice effect are determined. Not limited, for example, when a symbol variation start command from the main side is received, when the command is analyzed, based on the stop symbol and variation pattern of the main game symbol, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the sub side, variation pattern (For example, the type of reach production to be executed) may be configured to be determined (for example, the variation pattern of the main game symbol and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol are one to one, one to plural, plural to one, May be associated with multiple to multiple). Further, the content of the notice effect and the like may be determined by the command analysis process. Depending on the content of the effect determined in the advance notice lottery management process, it is necessary to change the determined symbol (for example, when performing an effect that causes a tempo with the “7” symbol and loses, the left symbol) And the right symbol needs to be changed to a lost symbol of "7").

Next, in step 2030, the sub-main control unit SM refers to each temporary storage area corresponding to the information relating to the command from the main side, and in the execution of this loop processing, the sub-side command analysis processing of step 3100 is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the command analysis is newly executed. If Yes in step 2030, in step 2032, the sub-main control unit SM updates the random number used in each process (for example, updates the random number by using the hard random number 1 latched in the process described later as a seed). Move to 2028. Incidentally, step 203
Also in the case of 0 and No, the process proceeds to step 2028.

As described above, when the sub-main side routine of FIG. 7B is executed, the processing of steps 2022 to 2026 is executed, and then the series of processing routines of steps 2028 to 3100 or step 2032 is repeatedly executed. ..

Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of an interrupt process on the sub control board S side (particularly, the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

First, the interrupt processing at the time of main command reception in FIG. That is, when the signal (STB signal) from the STB signal line connected to the main side (main control board M side) and the sub side (sub main control section SM side) is turned on, in step 2036, the sub The main control unit SM determines whether the command input value from the main side has been confirmed. When the STB signal is turned on, the sub-main control unit SM receives an input (parallel signal) from a parallel signal line (collective term of a plurality of signal lines) which is a signal line for command input from the main side. The ON/OFF of each of a plurality of signal lines constituting the line is read, but here, in order to prevent an error in the command input value due to noise or the like, the same value is continuously repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 2 to 5 times). Is configured to determine the command input value when is read.

If Yes in step 2036, in step 2038, the sub-main control unit SM determines whether or not the received command is the first command. Here, the command transmitted from the main side is composed of a first command and a second command, each of which is 8-bit information. For example, the first command has a leading bit of "0" and a second command. The command is configured such that the first bit is “1”, and the sub-main control unit SM confirms the first bit of the received command to determine whether the received command is the first command or the second command. It can be determined whether there is. Note that the command transmission method, the number of bits, and the like are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a command is transmitted by a serial communication method (a method of sequentially transmitting information to a single communication line from the first bit). It may be configured so that it can be transmitted.

If Yes in step 2038, in step 2040, the sub-main control unit SM saves the received first command in a temporary (temporary storage area for temporarily storing the first command in the second command reception waiting state). .. If the first command has already been saved, in other words, if the first command is received subsequent to the first command, the already saved first command is discarded and newly received. Save the first command.

Next, in step 2042, the sub-main control unit SM latches a hard random number (a random number that is managed by hardware and acquires the value of the counter that returns to the initial value as a random number value when the maximum value is reached by repeating the increment) 1 (Obtain), and returns to the process before this interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process) occurred.

Here, the hard random number 1 latched by the process is mainly used in the above-described random number update process to generate a seed (for example, a MT random number, which is a soft random number generated by software). It is used as input information for deriving the initial value of random numbers). The hard random number is a periodic random number determined by the timing of incrementing the counter value and latching the counter value (random number value). (The command is sent based on the entrance to the entrance, etc., so the processing has low regularity in the timing of occurrence.) By doing this, the hard random number 1 to be latched becomes a periodic random value. It prevents it from happening. Furthermore, by not using the hard random number 1 directly in the lottery, but using it as a seed for updating the soft random number, a random number with higher randomness is generated (and used in the lottery). There is. In this example, the hard random number is not directly used for the lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the hard random number may be directly used for the lottery.

On the other hand, if No in step 2038, in other words, if the second command from the main side is received, in step 2044, the sub-main control unit SM temporarily stores the first command waiting for the reception of the second command. Is determined to determine whether the first command has been received. If Yes in step 2044, in step 2046, the sub-main control unit SM saves the received command (the saved command is analyzed by the main command analysis processing described later). The command write pointer (command buffer SM11bf) The position at which a command is newly recorded in the SM 11bf) is acquired. Next, in step 2048, the sub-main control unit SM saves (records) the first command stored temporarily and the received second command in the command buffer SM11bf. Next, in step 2050, the sub main control unit SM updates the command write pointer of the command buffer SM11bf (for example, increments and updates the value). Next, in step 2052, the sub-main control unit SM clears (erases) the first command stored temporarily, and returns to the process before the occurrence of the main interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process). The command stored in the command buffer SM11bf will be analyzed in the main command analysis process described above.

On the other hand, if No in step 2036 (when the command input value is not fixed), the process returns to the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process). On the other hand, if No in step 2044 (when the second command is received in the state where the first command is not temporarily stored), the process returns to the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process) ( The received second command will be discarded).

Next, the TGI1A timer interrupt processing of FIG. First, the interrupt process is a timer interrupt process that occurs every predetermined time (for example, 1 ms). That is, when the interrupt process occurs, in step 2054, the sub-main control unit SM prohibits the interrupt process of priority 1 during the interrupt process (TGI1A timer interrupt process).

Here, as shown in the interrupt processing priority table in the lower part of the figure, in this example, the other interrupt processing not particularly shown is the interrupt processing of priority 1. Further, power-on interrupt processing (detailed processing is not shown, but interrupt processing executed at power-on to the sub-main control unit SM), various abnormal interrupt processing (detailed processing is not shown). However, if the CPU tries to execute an illegal (non-existing) instruction, or if the CPU tries to access an illegal area, or if the area is correct but tries to access it by an illegal method (for example, in the program area, The interrupt process executed when a program is loaded to a non-existent address, etc.), and the interrupt process during watchdog timer operation (process to recover from runaway) have priority over the process related to the progress of the game. Since it is the process to be executed by the above, it is set to the interrupt process with high priority. During execution of a certain interrupt process, if another interrupt process having a higher priority than the interrupt process being executed occurs, the other interrupt process having a higher priority is executed. In addition, when another interrupt process having a lower priority than the currently executing interrupt process occurs during execution of a certain interrupt process, the other interrupt process having the lower priority ends the interrupt process being executed. It will be executed later.

Next, in step 2055, the sub main control unit SM executes port input/output processing. In the port input/output process, an input process of monitoring an input to the input port of the sub main control unit SM and an output process from the output port of the sub main control unit SM are executed. First, in the input processing, ON/OFF of signals from a fraudulent detection sensor such as a magnetic sensor and a vibration sensor connected to the sub-main control unit SM and a sub-input button is monitored (note that the processing of 2100 described above is performed. Then, the presence/absence of detection of the sensor is determined by whether or not the ON/OFF of the signal monitored in the input process has continued a predetermined number of times). Next, in the output process, the command set in the output port of the sub-main control unit SM is output to each output destination (for example, the device drive command is output to the device side).

Next, in step 3200, the sub-main control unit SM updates the device drive command output to the device side based on the device drive pattern and the value of the device control timer SM28t. Next, in step 2056, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the device control timer SM28t. Next, in step 2058, the sub-main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the effect timer SM21t. Next, in step 2060, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the button control timer SM24t. In this way, the timer value that has been set is updated within the interrupt processing that is executed every predetermined time (1 ms in this example), but the timer suspension control is performed. If so, it should be noted that it is possible to not update the timer value.

Next, in step 3300, the sub main control unit SM updates the value of the task management counter SM60c. Here, the task management counter SM60c is a counter for storing the values of 1 to 16, and the value is incremented by the update processing, and when the counter value becomes 16, the counter value returns to 1 in the next increment processing. Is configured. By executing such a process, it is possible to set a process to be executed every 8 ms or every 16 ms by using the main interrupt process (TGI1A timer interrupt process) which occurs every 1 ms.

Next, in step 3302, the sub-main control unit SM monitors the image CPU runaway based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when it is desired to execute the process every 8 ms, when the counter value is 1 or 9). Execute the process. Although not particularly shown in this example, in the image CPU runaway monitoring process, a toggle signal from the sub-sub-control unit SS (in this example, when the sub-sub-control unit SS is normally operating, the image is switched 1 The signal transmitted to the sub-main side by switching ON/OFF is monitored every 16 ms which is a unit of frame, and when the toggle signal does not switch for a predetermined time (for example, 1600 ms), the sub-sub control unit SS Is determined not to operate normally, the sub-sub control unit SS is reset (for example, a forced reset signal is transmitted), and the command transmission to the sub sub control unit SS can be temporarily stopped. As described above, by executing the processing every 8 ms, which is shorter than 16 ms (a unit of one frame for switching the image) at which the toggle signal is switched, it is possible to reliably detect the switching of the toggle signal.

Next, in step 3304, the sub-main control unit SM executes the lamp lighting management process based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when it is desired to execute the process every 16 ms, when the counter value is 2). Then, the progress of lighting and extinguishing of the illumination lamp D26 is managed based on the production execution schedule (switching of lighting and extinguishing of the lamp is apparently performed every 16 ms, whereby a sufficiently intended production can be executed. Therefore, the process is executed using the task management counter in this way).

Next, in step 3306, the sub-main control unit SM performs the error notification time management process based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when the process is to be executed every 16 ms, when the counter value is 3). Execute. Here, in the processing such as the management of the error notification time that does not require the accuracy and needs to measure the time over a long time, it is not necessary to update the timer value every 1 ms, and When the timer is updated, the amount of data related to the value of the timer becomes large. Therefore, the amount of data related to the value of the timer can be reduced by updating the timer value in a long cycle (16 ms cycle in this example). Of.

Next, in step 2061, the sub-main control unit SM permits the generation of all interrupt processes (releases the prohibition of the interrupt process of priority 1 prohibited in step 2054), and executes this interrupt process (TGI1A timer interrupt). Process) Return to the process before it occurred.

Next, the TPU0 timer interrupt processing of FIG. First, the interrupt process is a timer interrupt process that occurs every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 ms). That is, when the interrupt process occurs, in step 2066, the sub-main control unit SM refers to the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2, and issues an instruction command to the set sub-sub side (sub-sub control unit SS side). Is present. If Yes in step 2066, in step 2068, the sub-main control unit SM sets the instruction command to the sub-sub-control unit SS side, which is set in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2, in the transmission buffer SM40bf (particularly Although not shown in the figure, at this timing, the instruction command set in the transmission buffer SM40bf and stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2 may be erased) and before this interrupt processing (TPU0 timer interrupt processing) is generated. Return to processing. On the other hand, if No in step 2066, the process returns to the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (TPU0 timer interrupt process). Although not particularly shown in this example, if it is determined in the image CPU runaway monitoring process in step 3302 that the sub-sub control unit SS is not operating normally, the command transmission to the sub-sub control unit SS is temporarily performed. It is configured to be able to rest.

Next, the interrupt process at the time of command transmission to the sub-sub shown in FIG. First, the interrupt process is an interrupt process that occurs when an instruction command is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf. That is, when the instruction command to the sub-sub control unit SS side is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf in step 2068, the sub-main control unit SM is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf to the sub-sub control unit SS side in step 2070. Read an instruction command. Next, in step 2072, the sub main control unit SM transmits the read instruction command to the sub sub control unit SS side.

Next, in step 2074, the sub main control section SM refers to the sub sub side information temporary storage means SM40b and reads the command received from the sub sub control section SS side. Next, in step 2076, the sub main control unit SM confirms that the command from the side of the read sub sub control unit SS (the command transmitted from the sub main control unit SM was successfully received by the sub sub control unit SS. (Return command shown) is parsed. Next, in step 2078, the sub-main control unit SM saves (stores) the analyzed command in the sub-sub-side information temporary storage means SM40b, and performs the process before the occurrence of this interrupt process (interrupt process during command transmission to the sub-sub). Return to.

Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the pending information management/display content determination/display control processing related to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, at step 2402, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a new suspension generation command is received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2406, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 causes the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b to store the drawing suspension counter (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, "1" is added to the second main game (up to four). Next, in step 2408, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 temporarily stores the holding information (especially, the random number delimiter information, the symbol information, the variation mode delimiter information, etc.) related to the holding occurrence command in the drawing holding information. It is temporarily stored in the means SM22b.

Next, in step 2450, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a winning prefetch lottery described later. Next, in step 2410, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 determines whether the new suspension is a suspension having information indicating that the new suspension is a trigger suspension (the new suspension is a pre-winning lottery during winning in step 2450). Then, whether or not the trigger has been suspended is determined. In the case of Yes in step 2410, in step 2550, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes the prefetching effect content determination processing described later, and proceeds to step 2426. On the other hand, if No in step 2410, the process moves to step 2426.

On the other hand, if No in step 2402, in step 2412, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and receives a new symbol variation start command from the main control board M side. Determine whether or not. If Yes in step 2412, in step 2416, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 subtracts "1" from the drawing reservation counter in the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2418, the design suspension information display control means SM22, the design variation information related to the design variation start command (variation mode information, stop design information, game state information, etc.) is the design display related information temporary storage means. While temporarily stored in the SM 21b, the suspension information corresponding to the variation (particularly, the winning/discarding random number segment information, the symbol information, the variation mode segment information) is stored in the drawing suspension information temporary storage unit SM22b (the information stored in the process of step 3120). ) And shift the remaining pending information.

Next, in step 2500, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a variation start prefetch determination process described later. Next, at step 2420, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the variation start prefetch winning flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2420, in step 2422, the packaging drawing information display control means SM22 turns off the variation start prefetch winning flag in the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2550, the drawing suspension information display control means SM22 executes a prefetching effect content determination process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2424. On the other hand, if No in step 2420, the process moves to step 2424.

Next, in step 2424, the design drawing reservation information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the design display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2426. Even if the result in step 2412 is No, the process proceeds to step 2426.

Next, in step 2426, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS to display on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first hold display section SG12 and the second hold display section SG13). The same number of holding display lamps as the drawing holding counter value in the drawing holding information temporary storage means SM22b is lit and displayed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2600).

Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of a winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. First, at step 2451, the winning preemptive prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current game state is the time reduction game state. In the case of Yes in step 2451, in step 2452, the winning-time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b to determine whether the new hold is the second main game side hold. To judge. If Yes in step 2452, the process moves to step 2454. Even if No in step 2451, the process proceeds to step 2454. When the result in step 2452 is No, the process moves to the next process (process in step 2410).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the time reduction game state is set, only the hold related to the second main game side can be the trigger hold related to the prefetch effect, but this is merely an example, and Is not limited, and the hold related to the first main game side that occurs during the time-reduced game state may be set as the trigger hold, or during the non-time-reduced game, the first main game side hold ( Alternatively, only the second main game side hold) may be configured to be the trigger hold in the prefetch effect.

Next, at step 2454, the winning predecessor prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 refers to the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b and reads the information relating to whether or not each suspension is trigger suspension. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that is won in the winning pre-reading lottery or the variation start pre-reading lottery, and is a holding that triggers the pre-reading effect described later.

Next, in step 2455, the winning predecessor prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the main game hold based on the read information. In the case of Yes in step 2455, in the step 2456, the winning-time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 determines whether or not the change is a change related to trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2456, in step 2458, the winning pre-reading pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 executes the winning pre-reading lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/20 in this example). It should be noted that the predetermined probability does not have to be 1/20, and by changing the predetermined probability, it is possible to adjust the degree of expectation that a big hit will occur due to a change that triggers execution of the prefetching effect.

Next, in step 2460, the winning hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 determines whether or not the new hold has been won in the winning prefetch lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2460, in step 2462, the winning hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 adds the information indicating "trigger hold" to the hold information related to the hold in the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b. It is added and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2410). Even if No in step 2455, step 2456, or step 2460, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2410). The information indicating "trigger hold" added to the hold information is deleted as the hold information is deleted when the trigger hold is consumed.

Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the prefetching effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. First, in step 2552, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n refers to the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the trigger suspension success/failure random number division information is the success/failure division 1. If Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n determines the display mode of the trigger hold to be iridescent (a display mode for notifying the player that it is a big hit is definite). , And proceeds to step 2562. In this way, in the present embodiment, if the hit/non-take random number division information of the trigger hold is the win/fail division 1, that is, regardless of whether the game state is the probability variation game state or the non-probability variation game state, it is a big hit. In such a case, the hold change effect for changing the display mode of the trigger hold to a rainbow color is executed as the specific look-ahead effect. In addition, in the present embodiment, the specific pre-reading effect is configured to be executed on the condition that the win/loss random number delimiter information is the win/fail segment 1, but the execution condition of the specific pre-reading effect is not limited to this. Alternatively, a plurality of conditions may be combined, such as a configuration in which it is executed on condition that the right/wrong random number delimiter information is the right/wrong delimiter 1 and the variation mode random number delimiter information is the variable delimiter 5.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2552, in other words, when the trigger randomness random number division information is the precision division 2 or 3, in step 2556, the prefetching effect content determination means SM26n causes the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b to operate. With reference to this, it is determined whether or not the variation mode delimiter information of the trigger hold is the variation delimiter 1 or 2. If Yes in step 2556, in step 2558, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n determines the display mode of the trigger hold with reference to the hold display mode determination table A, and proceeds to step 2562. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2556, in other words, when the variation mode break information of the trigger hold is the change break 3 or 4 or 5, in step 2560, the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n sets the display mode of the trigger hold, The hold display mode determination table B is referred to and the determination is made, and the process proceeds to step 2562.

Here, the two tables in the lower part of the figure are a hold display mode determination table A and a hold display mode determination table B. In the present embodiment, the types of display modes that can be selected when the display mode of the trigger hold mode that can change during execution of the hold change effect is determined with reference to the hold display mode determination table A or the hold display mode determination table B are: There are three colors, red, green, and blue, and the lottery is performed by a random number dedicated to determining the hold display mode. It is to be noted that blue is most easily selected when the hold display mode determination table A is referred to, and red and green are most easily selected when the hold display mode determination table B is referred to, which causes a hold change effect. In this case, the big hit expectation degree for each hold display mode is in the order of red, green, and blue in descending order of expectation. Note that the display modes that can be changed are merely examples, and there is no problem even if the types are increased or decreased or the colors that can be changed are changed. Further, in the present example, the pending display color is configured to suggest the expectation of a big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of a big hit (or in combination with the expectation of a big hit, ), the game state after the execution of the special game may be suggested. In such a case, especially in the probability variation game state, the display color of the hold suggests the degree of expectation of shifting to the probability change game state after execution of the special game when a big hit occurs in the hold. (For example, if the pending display color is red, the probability change probability is high, if the hold display color is blue, the probability change expectation degree is small, etc.), it is possible to determine whether the probability variation game state that is advantageous to the player continues or ends. It is possible to execute a stunning and effective presentation.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the hold change effect is executed, the jackpot expectation degree may be different depending on the display mode selected from a plurality of types of hold display modes, but the background change effect is also the same. In addition, there may be a plurality of types of backgrounds that may change, and the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the type of background selected when performing the effect. Further, the pre-reading effect may be configured to be executed multiple times during execution of the pre-reading effect (from the timing when the pre-reading lottery is won to the end of variation of the main game symbol related to trigger hold). .. With such a configuration, for example, when the hold change effect is executed twice while the prefetch effect is being executed, when the hold display mode that changes in the first hold change effect is blue, the second time The display mode of the hold that changes with the hold change effect is set to green or red, that is, each time the hold change effect is executed, the display mode of the hold is changed (ranked up) with a high jackpot expectation degree. It is desirable to configure it so that it does not spoil the player's expectations. Similarly, even when the background change effect is executed a plurality of times during the execution of the look-ahead effect, it is configured to change (rank up) to a background with a high jackpot expectation degree each time the background change effect is executed. It is desirable that it be configured so that a so-called rank-down that changes to a production with low expectations can occur. In this case, the stage in which the rank is changed in the hold change effect may be different from the stage in which the rank is changed in the background change effect {for example, the display mode of the hold is increased by two steps and the display mode of the background is changed by one step. The rank may be increased (even within a certain change or during a series of prefetch effects related to a certain trigger hold)}. Regarding the execution timing of the pending change effect and the background changing effect, the fluctuation of executing the pending changing effect and the fluctuation of executing the background changing effect may be the same or different. Further, only one change effect (holding change effect or background change effect) may be executed before the change related to the trigger hold.

Next, in step 2562, the prefetching effect content determination means SM26n refers to the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the variation mode delimiter information of the trigger suspension is the variation delimiter 5.

Here, in the present embodiment, the purpose is to execute the background change effect when the variation mode range is the range 3 (variation mode range in which the variation time is a long time). The variation mode random number division information of the trigger hold that becomes a loss that occurred on the main game side is the variable division 4, it is the non-time shortening game state when the trigger hold occurs, and the time shortening game state when the trigger hold is exhausted In this case, the variation mode range is the range 3 when the trigger hold occurs, but the variation mode range is the range 2 when the trigger hold is exhausted, so that the background change effect is executed in the situation where the variation mode range is the range 2. Becomes Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background change effect is executed only in the case of the variable division 5 which is the variation pattern random number division information in which the variation mode range is the range 3 regardless of whether the trigger suspension occurs or when the trigger is held. Configured to do so. Note that, as described above, the pending change effect is configured to be executable regardless of the variation mode random number segment information.

If Yes in step 2562, in step 2564 the prefetch effect content determination means SM26n turns on the background change effect execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and the next process (step 2426 or The process proceeds to step 2424). Even if No in step 2562, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2426 or step 2424).

In the present embodiment, the hold change effect is configured to be executable regardless of the trigger hold variation mode random number separator information, while the background change effect changes the trigger hold variation mode random number separator information. It is configured so that it can be executed only when it is the break 5.

In the present embodiment, when the prefetch lottery is won and the variation mode random number delimiter information of the trigger hold is the variable delimiter 5, the hold change effect and the background change effect simultaneously occur as the prefetch effect, and the trigger hold operation is performed. If the variation mode random number delimiter information is the variable delimiters 1 to 4 (not the variable delimiter 5), only the pending change effect is executed as the prefetch effect. The execution mode of the prefetching effect is not limited to this, and only the background change effect may be executed as the prefetching effect.

Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the variation start prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2502, the fluctuation start time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the flag area of the schematic display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the fluctuation start prefetching prohibition flag is off. If Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, the fluctuation start time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 determines whether or not the fluctuation is a fluctuation related to trigger hold. If Yes in step 2504, the process moves to step 2508. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2504, in step 2524, the variation start holding prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 turns on the variation start prefetching prohibition flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, The process shifts to the next process (process of step 2420).

Next, in step 2508, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information regarding whether each hold is a trigger hold. Next, in step 2510, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the main game hold based on the read information.

In the case of Yes in step 2510, in step 2512, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current game state is the time reduction game state. In the case of Yes in step 2512, in step 2514, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 executes the fluctuation start prefetch lottery to win at a predetermined probability (1/50 in this example) for all the reservations. , And proceeds to step 2518. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2512, in step 2516, the variation start holding prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 selects the variation start prefetch lottery to win at a predetermined probability (1/50 in this example), on the second main game side. The process is executed only for the suspension of the process, and the process proceeds to step 2518. The predetermined probability does not have to be 1/50, and it is possible to adjust the degree of expectation that the pre-reading effect is a big hit by changing the predetermined probability.

Next, in step 2518, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 judges whether or not there is a hold that has been won in the fluctuation start prefetch lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2518, in step 2520, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 adds information indicating that “trigger hold” to the hold selected in the fluctuation start prefetch lottery (that is, as described above). (Information can be added to the effect that it is "trigger hold" when the hold occurs and when the fluctuation starts). Next, in step 2522, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 turns on the fluctuation start prefetch winning flag in the flag area of the schematic display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the next process (step 2420). Process). The information indicating "trigger hold" added to the hold information is deleted as the hold information is deleted when the trigger hold is consumed.

On the other hand, if No in step 2502, that is, if the current process is the process in the next variation of the variation related to the trigger suspension, in step 2526, the variation start time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 determines that the drawing display related information is temporary. The change start prefetching prohibition flag in the flag area of the storage means SM21b is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2420). Even if No in step 2506, step 2510, or step 2518, the process moves to the next process (process in step 2420). With this configuration, the processing of steps 2504 to 2524 is not executed in the next variation of the variation related to the trigger suspension (the processing related to the lottery to determine whether or not the trigger suspension occurs at the start of the variation). ) It will be.

Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2602, the drawing display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If Yes in step 2602, in step 2604 the packaging display content determination means SM21n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2606, the symbol display content determining means SM21n, the symbol variation information (stop symbol/variation mode of the main game symbol, information relating to the game state, etc.) temporarily stored in the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b. That is, based on the information stored in the process of step 2418), a stop symbol of the decorative symbol (for example, when the stop symbol relating to the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol, Zoro such as "7/7/7") In the case of an eye and a lost design, a random pattern such as "1.3.5" is determined} and temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b.

Next, in step 2650, the drawing display content determination means SM21n executes effect content determination processing, which will be described later. Next, in step 2608, the packaging display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2610, the schematic drawing display content determination means SM21n generates an effect execution schedule based on the information related to the effect execution determined in the processes of step 2606 and step 2650. Next, in step 2610, the drawing display content determination means SM21n generates an effect execution schedule (details will be described later) for the change based on the information related to the determined effect execution, and performs the next process (step 2700). Process).

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2602, in step 2612, the packaging display content determination means SM21n refers to the value D of the notice production determination counter SM24c and the notice production execution scheduled number S in the fluctuation, and the notice production determination counter SM24c value. It is determined whether or not D is a value smaller than the number S of scheduled notice effect executions. Here, the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D and the notice effect scheduled execution number S are configured to be set by the processing in step 2650.

Next, in the case of Yes at step 2612, at step 2614, the drawing display content determination means SM21n increments the advance notice determination counter SM24c value D by 1. Next, in step 2616, the packaging display content determination means SM21n determines the content of the D-th notice effect in the variation by lot based on the variation mode of the decorative symbol. Next, in step 2618, the drawing display content determination means SM21n updates the performance execution schedule based on the determined content of the notice production, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2700). Even if No in step 2612, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2700). In this way, the content of the notice effect is determined to be divided into a plurality of times for the purpose of improving the processing efficiency of the sub-main side routine, and in particular, it is a variation that executes a reach effect for a long time. In this case, the lottery number of advance notice effects may be enormous (for example, about 100 times), so that the effect of improving the processing efficiency is effectively exhibited.

Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the effect contents determination processing related to the subroutine of step 2650 in FIG. First, in step 2652, the design drawing display content deciding means SM21n refers to the design drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b to determine whether or not the variation is a trigger pending variation. In the case of Yes in step 2652, in step 2654, the packaging display content determining means SM21n is the symbol variation information (variation mode information, stop symbol information, game state information, etc.) stored in the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b. , The information stored in the process of step 2418) is used to determine the variation mode of the decorative pattern in the variation, and the process proceeds to step 2660.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2652, in other words, when the fluctuation is fluctuation related to trigger hold, in step 2656, the packaging display content determination means SM21n sets the change mode of the decorative symbol in the fluctuation to trigger hold. It is determined to be a variation mode dedicated to digestion (for example, a variation mode in which story reach production is executed). Next, in step 2658, the drawing display content determination means SM21n turns off the background change effect execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to step 2660. Here, the background change effect execution flag is a flag that executes the background change effect while it is turned on, and in this example, by being turned off in this process, the background change effect is performed until the change related to the trigger hold. It is configured to end the production.

Next, at step 2660, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n derives the notice effect execution timing and the notice effect execution count S based on the determined variation pattern of the decorative symbol. Next, in step 2662, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n sets "1" as the initial value of the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D.

Next, in step 2664, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and determines whether or not the background effect execution flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2664, in step 2666 the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the change is a change related to trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2666, in step 2668, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n determines, based on the determined variation mode of the decorative design, the D-th variation in the variation (when performing the process, the initial value “1”). Since “” is set, the content of the first) notice production is determined by lottery.

Next, in step 2670, the background effect display content determination means SM23n determines the content of the background effect in the variation to be the “background for non-prefetching”, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2608).

Here, as shown in the background change effect display image diagram of the same figure, the background for non-prefetching is the day background, the background only for prefetching is the night background, and for the player, the trigger hold is on hold It is configured to notify whether or not it exists. In the present embodiment, the background for exclusive use of prefetching is displayed when the background effect execution flag is on, and the background for non-prefetching is displayed when the background effect execution flag is off.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2664 or step 2668, in step 2672, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n sets the D-th change (when executing the process, the initial value “1” is set in the change). Therefore, the content of the first) notice effect is determined to be the notice effect content dedicated to the prefetching effect execution (for example, an effect for counting down and displaying the number of remaining fluctuations until the fluctuation related to trigger hold). In addition, although not shown in the drawing, when the second main game side is changed when executing the notice production over a plurality of fluctuations with the first main game side being held as a trigger hold, the pre-reading is performed. The advance notice effect is configured to be forcibly ended. However, when there is no discrepancy between the contents of the notice production and the actual game, the production may be continued.

Next, in step 2674, the background effect display content determination means SM23n determines the content of the background effect in the change to be the “background for prefetching”, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 2608).

Here, as shown in an example of the effect execution schedule in the same figure, in this example, the elapsed time from the start of variation and the effect execution content can be managed in association with each other. Each time the effect execution content in the change is determined (or changed), the effect execution schedule is updated (updated in the processing of step 2610 or step 2618) to determine the effect to be executed in multiple steps. Also, the effect contents and the execution timing can be appropriately managed. It should be noted that in this example, the notice effect may be executed immediately after the start of the change, and therefore, the content of the first notice effect in the change is determined in the first process.

Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of a decorative symbol display control process related to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. If Yes in step 2702, in step 2704, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2706, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2708, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the variation time relating to the variation in the effect timer SM21t to start it, and proceeds to step 2710. Even if No in step 2702, the process proceeds to step 2710.

Next, in step 2710, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. If Yes in step 2710, in step 2712 the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the production timer SM21t and the production execution schedule. Next, in step 2714, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 has reached the variation start timing of the decorative symbol based on the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Or not. If Yes in step 2714, in step 2716, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the variable display command of the decorative symbol (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and proceeds to step 2722.

On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2714, at step 2718, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 displays the decorative symbol based on the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule temporarily stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. If Yes in step 2718, in step 2720, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the decorative symbol (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and in step 2722. Transition.

Next, in step 2722, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) temporarily stores the effect timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and the reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b). Based on the stored performance execution schedule, it is determined whether or not the display timing of the notice image or the reach image has been reached. If Yes in step 2722, in step 2724, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) sets the image display command related to the notice image or reach image (transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2). Stored in), and the process proceeds to step 2726. Even if No in step 2722, the process proceeds to step 2726.

Next, in step 2738, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a new symbol variation end command is received. In the case of Yes in step 2738, in step 2742, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets (stores in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2) a stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative symbol. Next, in step 2744, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops the production timer SM21t and resets the value (clears to zero). Next, in step 2746, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 resets (zero-clears) the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D and the notice effect execution scheduled number S. Next, in step 2748, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and shifts to the next process (process of step 2800). To do. Even if No in step 2710 or step 2738, the process moves to the next process (process in step 2800).

Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of special game-related display control processing relating to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, in step 2802, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and refers to whether or not a special game start display instruction command is newly received. In the case of Yes in step 2804, in step 2808, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the big hit is the first hit (the big hit in the non-probability fluctuation/non-time shortened gaming state). ) Is not determined. If Yes in step 2808, the process moves to step 2812. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2808 (when the big hit is the first hit), the background effect display control means SM23 resets (zero-clears) the number of consecutive games counter SM23c in step 2810, and proceeds to step 2812. It should be noted that this example is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the specific game ends due to the reaching of the upper limit fluctuation number of the specific game, the consecutive game number counter SM23c may be reset (cleared to zero).

Next, in step 2812, the background effect display control means SM23 adds (increments) 1 to the value of the number-of-apparatus-counting counter SM23c2. Next, in step 2814 and step 2816, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and makes a big hit on the effect display device SG. Start display is performed (display is appropriately performed based on the type of jackpot), and the process proceeds to step 2818. Even if No in step 2802, the process proceeds to step 2818.

Next, in step 2818, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds, the number of winning prizes, and the number of consecutive games counters on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side. (It may be appropriately executed as necessary based on the game property, the type of jackpot, etc., and the number of consecutive holidays counter is displayed as the number of consecutive holidays).

Next, in step 2820, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the continuous play number counter SM23c2, and determines whether or not the counter value is a predetermined value (for example, 10) or more. If Yes in step 2820, in step 2822, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the jackpot being executed is the maximum round jackpot (for example, 16R jackpot, 7A.・It is determined whether or not it is a big hit related to the 7B symbol). In the case of Yes in step 2822, in step 2824, the background effect display control means SM23 determines the ending effect {predetermined condition (for example, the number of consecutive holidays during the specific game, the total number of coins obtained during consecutive holidays, or a plurality of types). Of the special effects all occur, one or a plurality of combinations, etc.) are satisfied, and a command relating to the display of special effects or effects during special games, which is displayed only, is set, and the process proceeds to step 2828. To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in either step 2820 or step 2822, in step 2826 the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command relating to the big hit progress display, and proceeds to step 2828.

With such a configuration, it is possible to make the effect displayed during the jackpot execution a special effect, based on the number of consecutive holiday games of the jackpot during the specific game. It should be noted that this example is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of conditions may exist as the ending effect generation conditions.

Next, in step 2828, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been newly received. If Yes in step 2828, in step 2832, the background effect display control means SM23 sets the special game end display instruction command (stores it in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2). Next, in step 2834, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 3000). .. Even if No in step 2804 or step 2828, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3000).

Next, FIG. 27 is a prefetch effect image diagram according to the present embodiment. This image diagram exemplifies a case where the pre-reading effect related to the first main game side is the pre-reading effect that executes the pending change effect and the background effect during the non-time shortening game. First, the state of (a) is a state in which there are two normal holding balls (holding that is not trigger holding) on the first main game side, and there is no trigger holding and the main game symbol is changing. In this state, the winning prefetch lottery and the variation start prefetch lottery can be executed. Next, one new hold is generated on the first main game side from the state of (a), and the state of (b) is set. In the state of (b), since the newly generated hold is won in the pre-reading lottery at the time of winning and the trigger is held, the pre-reading effect is executed from the next change. Further, the trigger hold is displayed in a display mode different from the normal hold (in the figure, the normal hold is indicated by a circle and the trigger hold is indicated by a star). Further, since the newly generated hold is a trigger hold, the winning prefetch lottery and the variation start prefetch lottery are not executed.

Next, from the state of (b), the state in which the changing main game symbol is stopped is the state of (c). Next, from the state of (c), the state where the next fluctuation is started is the state of (d). In the state of (d), the pending change effect, the background effect, and the countdown effect are executed as the prefetch effect. In addition, since the number of times of fluctuation stop of the main game symbol until the fluctuation related to the trigger hold is started is two, the number of the countdown effect is "2". Next, from the state of (d), (e), (f), (g) and the main game symbol are stopped twice, the countdown effect is finished, and then the state where the fluctuation of the main game symbol is started ( This is the state of h). In the state of (h), since the trigger suspension is being changed, the story effect is executed as the effect content. Next, the state where three holds are generated during the change of the trigger hold is the state (i).

Next, in the state of (j), the variation related to the trigger suspension is lost, and the background effect ends. Next, from the state of (j), the state where the next fluctuation is started is the state of (k). At the start of the change of (k), the change start prefetch lottery is not executed because it is the next change of the change related to the trigger hold. With this configuration, the prefetching effect such as the countdown effect is not continuously executed, and the game proceeds without disturbing the player (for example, a notice effect related to the prefetching effect is cut. When the in-effect is executed, if there is a rule that the cut-in effect is the look-ahead effect related to the big hit when the cut-in effect is continuous four times or more, the look-ahead effect for two variations ends. When the pre-reading effect from the next variation to the other two variations is executed, it may happen that the jackpot is not a big hit, which will confuse the player).

Next, from the state of (k), the state in which the fluctuation has ended is the state of (l). After the timing of (l), the prefetch lottery can be executed. In addition, at the timings of (a) to (l), since it is a variation existing in the trigger suspension in the main game suspension or related to the trigger suspension, or a variation subsequent to the final variation in which the background effect is executed. In order to prevent the production from interlacing/continuing, the pre-winning lottery at the time of winning and the pre-reading lottery at the start of change are not executed.

With the above configuration, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the trigger hold is present in the main game hold, the variation start prefetch lottery and the winning prefetch lottery are not executed and the trigger hold is held. In the next variation of the variation related to (1), the variation start prefetch lottery is not executed. As a result, the look-ahead effects related to the plurality of trigger holdings are not continuously executed, and other look-ahead effects are not executed during the execution of the look-ahead effects, and the variation of the look-ahead effects currently being executed by the player is changed. It is possible to prevent erroneous recognition as to whether it is the prefetching effect started from, and it becomes a more user-friendly gaming machine.

Note that the execution start timing of the prefetch effect (holding change effect, background change effect) and the like are not limited to this example. It may be configured so that the effect can be started at the time, or the like. Also, when executing the hold change effect, a display object that changes the hold appears, and the display object changes the display mode of the hold (for example, a character that appears from the screen edge attacks the hold, The effect of changing the hold display mode) may be executed.

(Modification 1)
Here, in the present embodiment, the prefetch effect is configured not to be continuously executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the player does not misidentify it even if it is continuously executed, it is continuously executed. It may be configured as follows. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is referred to as Modification 1 of the present embodiment and will be described in detail below.

First, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the variation start prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 18 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2523 (variation 1), and the purpose is that in the first variation after the end of execution of the special game, the variation related to the special game is the variation related to trigger hold. Even if there is, it is configured so that the prefetch lottery at the start of fluctuation can be executed. That is, when the fluctuation is the fluctuation related to the trigger hold in step 2504, the fluctuation start hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b in step 2523 (variation 1), and the fluctuation concerned. It is determined whether or not is a change related to a big hit. If Yes in step 2523 (variation 1), the process proceeds to step 2524, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2420).

By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when the variation related to the trigger hold is a big hit and the special game is executed (that is, the look-ahead effect related to the trigger hold, Since the special game is executed between the prefetch effect related to the next hold of the trigger hold, if the feeling of strangeness is small even if the prefetch effect continues, the prefetch effect occurs even in the next change of the trigger hold. With such a configuration, the chances of executing the prefetching effect are increased, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when the variation related to the trigger hold is a big hit, the variation start look-ahead lottery can be executed at the next variation of the variation related to the trigger hold. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variation related to the trigger hold is a big hit and the game state is changed, the variation start prefetch lottery can be executed in the next variation of the variation related to the trigger hold. Good.

In the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, in the next variation of the special game, even if the next variation is the variation of the trigger suspension, the variation start prefetch lottery can be executed. Although configured, the configuration that can execute the prefetch lottery at the time of variation start to the next variation of the variation related to the trigger hold is not limited to this. It is sufficient if the player can recognize that the continuous pre-reading effect has ended due to the lapse of a predetermined time from the change related to the trigger hold such as the change of No., the change after the game state is switched, and the like.

(Modification 2)
Here, in the present embodiment, the display mode of the hold is changed at the timing when the prefetch lottery is won. You may comprise so that a display mode may be changed. Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be described in detail below as a second modification of the present embodiment.

First, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the pending information management/display content determination/display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. 17 in the second modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about step 2650 (modification 2) and steps 2423-1 (modification 2) to step 2423-3 (modification 2), the purpose of which is to win the winning prefetch lottery. When changing the hold display mode, the timing of the change can be set at the start of the next change. That is, in step 2410, if the new hold is trigger hold, in step 2650 (variant 2), the drawing holding information display control means SM22 executes a prize prefetching effect content determination process, which will be described later. Move to 2426.

In addition, after executing the prefetching effect content determination processing in step 2550, or in the case of No in step 2420, in step 2423-1 (variant 2), the design drawing pending information display control means SM22 causes the design drawing pending information temporary. By referring to the flag area of the storage means SM22b, it is determined whether or not the pending change reservation flag is on (the pending change reservation flag may be turned on in the process of step 2650 (modification 2)). In the case of Yes in step 2423-1 (variant 2), in step 2423-2 (variant 2), the figure suspension information display control means SM22 suspends the triggers temporarily stored in the figure suspension information temporary storage means SM22b. The second hold display mode {the hold display mode determined by the process in the subroutine of step 2650 (variant 2)} is determined as the hold display mode. Next, in step 2423-3 (modification 2), the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 turns off the reservation change reservation flag in the flag area of the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b, and proceeds to step 2424. To do. On the other hand, if No in Step 2423-1 (Variation 2), the process proceeds to Step 2424.

Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the winning-time prefetching effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 (variation 2) in FIG. 29 in the second modification from the present embodiment. In the figure, step 2652 to step 2660 are the same processing as step 2552 to step 2560 in this embodiment, and step 2662 to step 2664 are the same processing as step 2562 to step 2564 in this embodiment, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.

First, in step 2661-1, the prefetching effect content determination means SM26n refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b, and is currently displayed for a predetermined time (in this example, a fluctuation of 120 seconds, and is displayed during the super reach effect). It is determined whether or not the main game symbol, which is the variation time of (assuming a variation mode in which the hold display cannot be visually recognized by displaying a predetermined moving image in the entire area SG10), is changing. .. In the case of Yes in step 2661-1, in step 2661-2, the prefetching effect content determination means SM26n is configured with the hold display mode of the trigger hold determined in step 2654, step 2658, or step 2660 as the second hold display mode. It is temporarily stored in the suspension information temporary storage means SM22b, and the suspension display mode is determined to be white, which is a normal suspension display color (default display color in which the prefetch effect is not executed). Next, in step 2661-3, the prefetching effect content determination means SM26n turns on the reservation change reservation flag in the flag area of the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b, and proceeds to step 2662. Even if No in step 2661-1, the process proceeds to step 2662.

By changing as described above, the effect during the change of the main game symbol which is the change time of the predetermined time (120 seconds in this example) according to the second modification from the present embodiment is the super reach effect, In a gaming machine configured such that a predetermined moving image is displayed in the entire display area SG10 during execution of the super reach effect, the pending display cannot be visually recognized. When the lottery is won, the player can visually confirm that the display mode of the hold has been changed by executing the change of the display mode of the hold at the start of the next change, and thus the player can enjoy a more user-friendly game. Become an opportunity.

In the gaming machine according to the second modification from the present embodiment, when the winning prefetch lottery is won, it is possible to change the pending display mode at the start of the next change. The timing of executing the change is not limited to this, and may be an appropriate timing according to the effect that is being executed at the time of prefetch lottery (for example, the pending display is visible to the player or visible). Timing etc.). Further, the effect of changing the effect execution timing is not limited to the hold display mode, but a problem occurs when the prefetch effect is executed at the timing when the prefetch lottery is won (for example, the player cannot visually recognize). Any production may be used (for example, comment notice production).

(Modification 3)
Further, the aspect of the rule regarding whether or not to execute the prefetching effect is not limited to this, and an aspect of forcibly executing the prefetching effect may be provided as an exception to the rule. Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be described in detail below as Modified Example 3 from the present embodiment.

First, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of a winning prefetch determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. 19 in Modification 3 of the present embodiment. First, the points of change from the present embodiment are step 2451-1 (variant 3) and step 2466 (variant 3), and the purpose thereof is when the suspension in which the variation mode delimiter information is the variation delimiter 5 occurs. , Is configured to be forced to win the prefetch lottery at the time of winning. That is, if it is not in the time shortening game in step 2451, or if the new hold is the hold of the second main game side in step 2452, in the step 2451-1 (variant 3), the winning-time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1, The main side information temporary storage means SM11b is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the new suspension variation mode delimiter information is the variation delimiter 5.

If Yes in step 2451-1 (variant 3), the process proceeds to step 2454. If No, in step 2466 (variant 3), the winning-time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 determines that the drawing suspension information is temporary. Information indicating "trigger hold" is added to the hold information related to the hold in the storage means SM22b, and temporarily stored (and information indicating that the trigger is held is deleted from other trigger hold in the main game hold). ), and then proceeds to the next process (process of step 2410).

Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the effect contents determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 in FIG. 23 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the changes from the present embodiment are about step 2671 (variant 3) and step 2673 (variant 3), and the purpose is that the trigger hold is a hold in which the variation mode delimiter information is the variable delimiter 5. It is to be configured to be able to execute a different effect than when there is no effect. That is, if No in step 2664 or step 2666 (when the situation in which the background effect is executed or the change is not the change related to the trigger suspension), in step 2671 (Variation 3), the background effect display content determination means SM23n triggers It is determined whether or not the hold is a hold in which the variable mode delimiter information is the variable delimiter 5. If Yes in step 2671 (variant 3), the process moves to step 2672 and the same processing as in the present embodiment is executed.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2671 (variant 3), in step 2673 (variant 3), the background effect display content determination means SM23n determines the execution content of the D-th notice effect in the variation as variation mode division information. The notice effect contents dedicated to the pre-reading effect execution related to the trigger hold, which is the variable division 5, (for example, effect contents displaying the special countdown until the trigger hold is exhausted) are determined, and the process proceeds to step 2674. Here, as will be described later in detail, the effect of displaying the special countdown is an effect in which the numbers are displayed differently from the effect of displaying the countdown (hereinafter, the effect of displaying the special countdown is referred to as the special countdown effect. Sometimes called).

Next, FIG. 33 is a pre-reading effect image diagram according to a third modification from the present embodiment. This image diagram exemplifies a case where the pre-reading effect related to the first main game side is executed as the pre-reading effect for executing the pending change effect and the background effect in the non-time shortening game. In the figure, the normal hold is circled, the normal trigger hold (variation time of 30 seconds) is a diamond mark, and the specific hold (holding for which the variation time of 120 seconds is fixed) has changed. (It is sometimes called trigger hold) is indicated by an asterisk.

First, the state (a) is a state in which there are two normal holding balls (holding that is not trigger holding) on the first main game side, and there is no trigger holding and the main game symbol is changing. In this state, the winning pre-reading lottery and the variation start pre-reading lottery can be executed. Next, one hold is newly generated from the state of (a) on the first main game side, and the state of (b) is set. In the state of (b), the newly generated hold is won in the prize prefetch lottery and becomes a normal trigger hold (30 second fluctuation time), so the prefetch effect is executed from the next change of the main game symbol. Becomes Further, the normal trigger hold is displayed in a display mode different from the normal hold.

Next, from the state of (b), the changing main game symbol stops and becomes the state of (c), and the state where the next variation is started from the state of (c) is the state of (d). .. In the state of (d), the pending change effect, the background effect, and the countdown effect are executed as the prefetch effect. In addition, since the number of times of fluctuation stop of the main game symbol until the fluctuation related to the normal trigger hold is started is two, the number of the countdown effect is "2". Next, from the state of (d), because two holds occurred and one of them (the last hold) was a specific hold, the state where the trigger was forcibly held (specific trigger hold) was The state is (e). In the state of (e), the specific hold becomes a new specific trigger hold, the information indicating that the trigger is on hold is deleted from the hold that was the normal trigger hold, and the display mode of the hold is the same as the normal hold. Has become.

Next, the state is changed from the state (e) to the state (f), and the state where the next change is started from the state (f) is the state (g). Since the fluctuation is started in the situation where the specific trigger hold is present, the special countdown effect is executed in place of the countdown effect that has been executed until the time point (g). Further, since the number of times of stop of fluctuation of the main game symbol until the fluctuation related to the specific trigger hold is started is 3, the number of the special countdown effect is "3".

By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the modification example 3 from the present embodiment, when the hold in which the variation mode delimiter information is the variable delimiter 5 occurs, the winning prefetch lottery is forcibly won. With such a configuration, the appearance rate of the prefetching effect can be adjusted, and an exceptional rule that the prefetching effect is forcibly executed can be provided as the execution rule of the prefetching effect, and the variation of the prefetching effect can be expanded. Become. In addition, by setting the expectation that the prefetch effect related to the hold whose variation mode delimiter information is the variable break 5 is a big hit is higher than the expectation that the prefetch effect related to a hold other than the hold is a big hit, it is forced. Even if the prefetch effect is executed, the expectation of the big hit does not decrease, and the game machine becomes user-friendly.

When the pre-reading effect related to the hold in which the variation mode division information is the variable break 5 is forcibly executed during a certain pre-reading effect, the big hit expectation in the pre-reading effect related to the hold is more than the big hit expectation degree in the certain pre-reading effect. As long as the prefetch effect related to the hold in which the variation mode delimiter information is the variable delimiter 5 occurs, the trigger hold related to the prefetch effect is always a big hit. Good.

(Modification 4)
Here, in the modification example 3 from the present embodiment, it is configured to always win the prefetch lottery at the time of winning when a specific hold occurs, but the configuration that always wins the prefetch lottery is not limited to this. It may be configured to always win the prefetch lottery at the start of fluctuation. Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be described in detail below as Modified Example 4 from the present embodiment.

First, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the winning pre-reading determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. 19 in Modification 4 of the present embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2457 (modification 4) and step 2466 (modification 4), and the purpose is to change the variation mode random number delimiter information under the condition that there is no trigger hold in the hold. When the hold, which is the division 5, is generated, the hold is surely won in the prefetch lottery at the time of winning the prize. That is, when the trigger hold is not present in the main game hold in step 2456, in the step 2457 (variant 4), the winning hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, It is determined whether or not the variable mode random number delimiter information that is reserved is not the variable delimiter 5.

If Yes at step 2457 (Variation 4), the process proceeds to step 2458, and if No at step 2466 (Variation 4), the winning-time hold prefetching effect determination means SM26k1 is the drawing-holding information temporary storage means. Temporary storage is made by referring to the hold information in the SM 22b, adding information indicating "trigger hold" to the hold information relating to the new hold (and trigger hold from other trigger hold in the main game hold). The information to the effect is deleted), and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2410).

Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the variation start prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 19 in Modification 4 from the present embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2530 (variant 4) and step 2532 (variant 4), and the purpose is that the variation mode random number segment information is retained in the variable segment 5 within the main game suspension. In this case, the holding is configured to win the variation start prefetch lottery. That is, after turning off the variation start prefetching prohibition flag in step 2526, in step 2530 (variant 4), the variation start holding prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b, and the main game It is determined whether or not the variable mode random number delimiter information has the variable delimiter 5 in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2530 (variant 4), in step 2532 (variant 4), the variation start suspension prefetching effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the suspension information in the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b, and the variation time Temporary storage (assuming that you have won the variation start look-ahead lottery) with the information that "trigger hold" is added to the hold information related to the earliest hold in the hold that is the specific time The process moves to step 2522. On the other hand, if No in step 2530 (Variation 4), the process moves to the next process (process of step 2420).

By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the modification example 4 from the present embodiment, in the situation where the prefetch effect is being executed, when the variation mode random number delimiter information holds the variable delimiter 5, By configuring so that the prefetch effect with the hold as a trigger hold can be executed from the start of the change after the end of the execution of the lookahead effect (the time of the start of the next change of the change related to the trigger hold), another It is possible to prevent a situation in which the player is confused due to the execution of the prefetching effect (prefetching effect in which the variable mode random number delimiter information is the trigger deferral of the variable delimiter 5 being held) can be prevented, and a user-friendly gaming machine can be provided. Become.

In the gaming machine according to Modification 4 of the present embodiment, when the prefetch lottery is executed when the variation mode random number delimiter information is held for the variable delimiter 5, the execution of the prefetch effect is terminated. The pre-reading effect is configured to be executed at the start of the change (after the end of the change related to the trigger hold). However, the prefetching effect related to the holding may not be generated even if the holding in which the variation mode division information is the variation division 5 occurs during the execution of the prefetching effect.

Further, in the present example, the winning-time prefetch lottery is configured to be executed even during the trigger suspension, but the winning-time prefetch lottery may not be executed during the trigger suspension. When configured in this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which another prefetching effect is executed from the next change after the prefetching effect is finished, and the player prefetches whatever the effect contents related to the prefetching effect. It is possible to recognize the final fluctuation of the production.

In this example, the variation start look-ahead lottery is configured to be executed for the hold that will be exhausted after the end of the variation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variation start look-ahead lottery is performed. May be executed (the variation may be a variation related to trigger hold). When configured in this manner, in the gaming machine configured to continuously display the display related to the consumed hold even after the hold is consumed and the fluctuation is started, the display mode of the consumed hold It is possible to execute a pre-reading effect such as changing.

In this example, when executing the winning pre-reading lottery, when there is a trigger hold in the hold, it is configured not to execute the winning pre-reading lottery, but the condition that the winning pre-reading lottery is not Is not limited, even if it is configured not to execute the pre-winning lottery at the time of winning on the condition that there is a big jackpot in the hold, a certain variation (variation mode that becomes a reach variation, etc.) in the hold, etc. Good.

(Second embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, whether or not it is possible to shift to the probability variation game state after the special game is determined based on the stop symbol of the main game symbol, but in such a case, the player during the special game execution There is a risk that interest in the game will be impaired, so an example of a configuration that does not impair the player's interest in the game even during execution of the special game will be referred to as the second embodiment, and hereinafter, this embodiment Only the differences will be described in detail.

The game machine according to the second embodiment includes a specific area C22 in which a game ball can enter and a specific area entrance detecting device C22s in the second big winning opening C20. Here, the specific area entrance detection device C22s is a sensor that detects the entrance of a game ball into the specific area C22, and generates specific area entrance information indicating the entrance when entering. The game ball that has entered the second special winning opening C20 is configured to be detected by either one of the second special winning opening winning detecting device C21s and the specific area winning detecting device C22s.

Further, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment determines whether or not a game ball has entered the specific area C22, and the specific area entrance determination means MJ11-C22, and a second large winning opening having the specific area C22. It has a distribution game execution control means MP36 for executing a distribution game for opening and closing C20, and a distribution game related information temporary storage means MB40b for temporarily storing information related to the processing of the distribution game. There is.

First, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. 5 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is step 1611 (second), step 1700 (second) and step 1650 (second), the purpose of which is to execute a sorting game. That is, in step 1611 (second), the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the number of rounds executed in the special game is the distribution game execution round (in the present example, 2R and 4R) is determined. In the second embodiment, two rounds that are not continuous with 2R and 4R are rounds related to opening the second special winning opening C20, but this is because the game ball cannot flow down during the special game. In the case where the game area D30 is stored in a specific place (so-called ball clogging), the player is again directed to the second big winning opening C20 (or the specific area C22). The purpose is to provide an opportunity to enter the game. {Whether the game state after the special game becomes a probability variation game state depends on whether or not the player can enter the second big winning opening C20 (or the specific area C22). Such intent is important because it will be decided}. In addition, in the second embodiment, two rounds related to the opening of the second special winning opening C20 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a larger number of rounds relate to the opening of the second special winning opening C20. It may be a round.

If Yes in step 1611 (second), in step 1700 (second), the distribution game execution control means MP36 executes distribution game execution processing described later, and proceeds to step 1634. On the other hand, if No in step 1611 (second), the process moves to step 1612.

Further, in step 1638, after setting the special game end display instruction command to the sub side, in step 1650 (second), the distribution game execution control means MP36 performs a game state determination process after the end of the special game described later. It executes and shifts to the next process (process of step 1910).

Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution processing according to the subroutine of step 1700 (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, in step 1702, the distribution game execution control means MP36 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the distribution game execution flag is on. If Yes in step 1702, the process moves to step 1716.

On the other hand, if No in step 1702, in step 1704, the sorting game execution control means MP36 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the stopped main game symbol is a long open symbol (4B/5A. 5B, 7A, 7B) is determined. If Yes in step 1704, in step 1706, the sorting game execution control means MP36 sets a long opening pattern (for example, opening for 15 seconds as an opening pattern of the second special winning opening C20 having the specific area C22). Then, an opening pattern designed so that the entry into the specific area C22 is definite is set, and the process proceeds to step 1710. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1704, in other words, when the stop symbol is the short open symbol (4A), in step 1708, the distribution game execution control means MP36 of the second special winning opening C20 having the specific area C22. As the open pattern, set a short open pattern (for example, an open pattern designed to be definite for non-ball entry into the specific area C22 for 0.1 second open), Go to step 1710.

Next, in step 1710, the distribution game execution control means MP36 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c. Next, in step 1712, the distribution game execution control means MP36 turns on the distribution game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1864, the distribution game execution control means MP36 opens the second special winning opening C20 in the set opening pattern, and proceeds to step 1716.

Next, in step 1716, the distribution game execution control means MP36 confirms the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c and determines whether or not a predetermined number (10) of gaming balls have been won in the second special winning opening C20. To do. If Yes in step 1716, the process moves to step 1720. On the other hand, if No in step 1716, in step 1718, the distribution game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the opening period (the set opening pattern) of the second special winning opening C20 has ended. If Yes in step 1718, the process moves to step 1720.

Next, in step 1720, the distribution game execution control means MP36 closes the second special winning opening C20. Next, in step 1722, the distribution game execution control means MP36 turns off the distribution game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1723, the distribution game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not there is a game ball entering the specific area C22 in the execution round of the distribution game. In the case of Yes in step 1723, in step 1724 the distribution game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the particular ball is the first ball in the special game being executed. In the case of Yes in step 1724, in step 1725 the distribution game execution control means MP36 sets the specific area entrance command to the sub side in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control section SM side ( In the control command transmission process of step 1930, the control command is transmitted to the sub-main control section SM). Next, in step 1726, the distribution game execution control means MP36 turns on the main game probability variation shift reservation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and shifts to step 1728. On the other hand, if No in step 1724, the process moves to step 1728. Even if No in step 1723 or step 1724, the process moves to step 1728. Next, in step 1728, the distribution game execution control means MP36 increments the round number counter by 1 (ends the execution round of the distribution game), and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1634). Even if No in step 1718, the process moves to the next process (process in step 1634).

Next, FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, in step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether or not the main game probability variation transition reservation flag is on. If Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change reservation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in a step 1666, the specific game control means MP50 sets a certain number (80 times) in the probability variation counter MP51c. Next, in a step 1668, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability variation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in a step 1670, the specific game control means MP50 sets a limited number of times (20 times) to the limited frequency switching counter MN52c. Next, in a step 1672, the specific game control means MP50 sets a predetermined number of times A (80 times) in the time saving number counter MP52c, and proceeds to a step 1676. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 sets the predetermined number of times B (50 times) in the time saving counter MP52c in step 1674, and proceeds to step 1676. In this example, the limited frequency switching counter MN52c and the hour/hour counter MP52c are configured to be set to predetermined values, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be configured to be changeable.

Next, in a step 1676, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game time saving flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in a step 1678, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the auxiliary game shortened flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1910).

Next, FIG. 39 is a flowchart of special game-related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. 17 in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is step 2817-1 (second) to step 2817-5 (second), and the purpose thereof is to hold the reserved inn solitary fixed specific area entrance effect and normal specific area entrance effect. Is to do. After the command related to the big hit start display is set in step 2816 or when the special game flag is on in step 2802, in step 2817-1 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 temporarily stores main side information. By referring to the means SM11b, it is determined whether or not a new specific area entry command has been received from the main side. If Yes in step 2817-1 (second), in step 2817-3 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main-side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the winning/failing random number delimiter information is held. It is determined whether or not there is a hold that is the right or wrong delimiter 1 or 2. In the case of Yes in step 2817-3 (second), in step 2817-4 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 causes the in-holding-destination-resort-fixing-specific-area-ball-entering-effects (a big hit is held in the hold. Set a command (stored in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2) for executing an effect indicating that the existing state and the game state after the special game being executed become the probability variation game state, and the process proceeds to step 2818. To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2817-3 (second), in step 2818-5 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 causes the normal specific area entrance effect (the game state after the special game being executed is A command for executing an effect for notifying that the probability variation game state is set) is set, and the process proceeds to step 2818. Even if No in step 2817-1 (second), the process proceeds to step 2818.

With the above configuration, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, depending on whether or not the game ball enters the specific area during the special game, the transition to the probability variation game state after the special game is performed. By being configured to decide whether or not to allow the game, the player can continue playing the game without losing interest in the game even during the special game, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

(Modification 1 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, the prefetch lottery can be executed at the time of the occurrence of the hold (at the time of winning) and the start of the fluctuation of the main game symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the prefetch lottery is performed at other timings. May be configured to be executed. Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be referred to as a modified example 1 from the second embodiment, and only the modified points from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

Incidentally, the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, a probability variation counter MP51c capable of counting the number of variations in the probability variation gaming state, and a variation mode (variation time etc.) of the main game symbol at the limited frequency. And a limited frequency variation mode determining means MN52 for determining. Further, the limited frequency variation mode determining means MN52, the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta referred to when determining the variation mode related to the main game symbol at the time of the limited frequency, and the limited frequency referred to in the probability variation game state. It has a limited frequency switching counter MN52c that counts the number of fluctuations until the table is changed.

First, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of a first (second) main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. 10 in the first modification from the second embodiment. .. First, the changes from the second embodiment are about step 1411-1 (second variation 1) to step 1411-5 (second variation 1) and step 1450, and the purpose is limited to the probability variation game state. It is configured to refer to the frequency table. That is, in step 1410-2, after determining the stop symbol relating to the main game symbol, in step 1411-1 (second variation 1), the game content determination means MN sets the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. It is determined whether or not the main game probability change flag is off with reference. If Yes in step 1411-1 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 1412, and if No, in step 1411-2 (second variation 1), the game content determination means MN determines that the limited frequency switching counter. With reference to the counter value of the MN 52c, it is determined whether or not the counter value is larger than 0. Next, in step 1411-3 (second variation 1), the first main game variation mode determining means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determining means MN51-B) changes the limited frequency corresponding to each game state. With reference to the mode determination lottery table MN52ta (particularly, the limited frequency table 1), the main game symbol win/loss result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (in particular, the variation mode random number) The variation mode of the main game symbol is determined based on these, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

Here, FIG. 41 (particularly, the limited frequency table 1) is an example of the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. In the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 1 is referred to in the variation of the main game symbol 1 to 20 times after the end of the special game in the time shortening game state and the probability variation game state. Further, when referring to the limited frequency table 1, the fluctuation on the first main game side is less profitable to the player than the fluctuation on the second main game side, so the fluctuation on the first main game side is the fluctuation on the second main game side. It is configured such that the symbol variation time is relatively long compared to. Further, on the second main game side, when the limited frequency table 1 is referred to, the variation time is relatively shorter than when the limited frequency table 2 described below is referred to.

Next, in step 1411-4 (second variation 1), the game content determination means MN subtracts 1 from the count value of the limited frequency switching counter MN52c, and proceeds to step 1414. On the other hand, if No in step 1411-2 (second variation 1), in step 1411-1 (second variation 1), first main game variation mode determining means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determining means MN51). -B) refers to the limited frequency fluctuation mode determination lottery table MN52ta (particularly, the limited frequency table 2) corresponding to each gaming state, and refers to the main game symbol win/win lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main Random mode of the main game symbol is determined based on the game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode random number), and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, step 1414. Move to. That is, as shown in the modified example 1 (and the second embodiment) from the second embodiment, the game state after the special game is finished is determined by whether or not the game ball enters the specific area C22 during the special game. In the gaming machine, the variation mode determination table (for example, the limited frequency table) to be referred to is different along with the game state after the special game is ended depending on whether or not the game ball enters the specific area C22.

Here, FIG. 41 (particularly, the limited frequency table 2) is an example of the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. In the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 2 is referred to in the variation of the main game symbol 21 to 80 times after the end of the special game in the time shortening game state and the probability variation game state. Further, when referring to the limited frequency table 2, the fluctuation of the first main game side is less profitable to the player than the fluctuation of the second main game side, so the fluctuation of the first main game side is the fluctuation of the second main game side. It is configured such that the symbol variation time is relatively long compared to (because the second main game side can be reserved while the main game symbol on the first main game side varies). In addition, there is a specific variation mode “BX” (details will be described later) in the variation mode at the time of hit referred to by the second main game side of the limited frequency table 2. In addition, in the first modification from the second embodiment, the specific variation mode is provided only in the variation mode at the time of hitting, but there is no problem if it is provided even at the time of losing. However, as will be described later, the variation mode of the specific variation mode “BX” is a case where there is a hold that is planned to be won under the situation where the symbol relating to the variation mode is being changed. Since it is provided for the purpose of suggesting or informing the existence of the hold that is planned to be the winning, during the symbol fluctuation related to this specific fluctuation mode “BX” or at the time of fluctuation stop, It is desirable to be configured to execute different notification modes depending on whether there is a hold that is scheduled to become a hit or when there is no hold that is scheduled to be a hit. See below for details). Also, during the time shortening/probability fluctuation game state (so-called ST), for the fluctuation time when the first main game side is held, the second main game side holding occurrence with high profit expectation for the player In order to wait for, 5 seconds was set uniformly, but it is not limited to this, for example, in the case of a big hit on the first main game side during ST (especially, a big hit related to a long open symbol), It may be configured to have the same variation time (and effect) as the main game side, and when the big hit on the first main game side during ST, the big hit on the second main game side It may be configured to be able to execute an effect that is not selected (for example, it is an effect that fuels whether or not a long open big hit occurs, and may be an effect during execution of a special game). Also, a plurality of patterns may be provided for the variation time when there is a loss.

In addition, after turning on the conditional device operation flag in step 1440, or when the stop symbol is not the jackpot symbol in step 1430, in step 1450, the game content determination means MN executes a specific game end determination process described later. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1500).

Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 (second variation 1) in FIG. 10 in the first modification from the second embodiment. First, the change from the second embodiment is about step 1470 (second variation 1) to step 1476 (second variation 1), the purpose of which is the probability variation game state ends depending on the number of times the main game symbol changes. Is to be configured. That is, in step 1470 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the counter value of the probability variation counter MP51c, and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. If Yes in step 1470 (second variation 1), in step 1472 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 decrements the counter value of the probability variation counter MP51c by 1. Next, in step 1474 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the counter value of the probability variation number counter MP51c, and the counter value (remaining variation number until the probability variation game state ends) is 0. Or not. If Yes in step 1474 (second variation 1), in step 1476 (second variation 1), the specific game control means MP50 sets the main game probability variation flag in the flag area of the specific game-related information temporary storage means MB30b. Turn it off, and proceed to step 1454. In addition, also in the case of No in step 1470 (second variation 1) or step 1474 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 1454.

Next, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the pending information management/display contents/display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 17 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are step 2428 (second variation 1) and step 2430 (second variation 1), the purpose of which is, in the probability variation game state, winning prefetch lottery and variation start prefetch. The configuration is such that the lottery is not executed. That is, in step 2408, the holding information (random number value) transmitted from the main side is temporarily stored in the drawing holding information temporary storage means SM22b, and then in step 2428 (second variation 1), the drawing holding information display control is performed. The means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current game state is not the probability variation game state. If Yes in step 2124 (second variation 1), the process shifts to step 2450, and the process related to the prefetch determination at the time of winning is executed. On the other hand, if No in step 2428 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 2426 without executing the process related to the prefetch determination at the time of winning.

In step 2418, the pending information (random number value) related to the symbol variation is deleted from the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b, and the remaining pending information is shifted, and then in step 2430 (second variation 1), The drawing suspension information display control means SM22 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current game state is the probability variation game state. If Yes in step 2430 (second variation 1), the process proceeds to step 2500, and the process related to the fluctuation start prefetch determination is executed. If the result is No, the process related to the fluctuation start prefetch determination is not executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 2426.

Next, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. 17 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The changes from the second embodiment are step 2714-1 (second variation 1), step 2714-2 (second variation 1), and step 3400 (second variation 1), the purpose of which is during the change. The prefetch lottery is executed. That is, in step 2714-1 (second variation 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the schematic display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the variation mode of the main game symbol that is changing is a specific variation mode. Or not. In the present example, the specific variation mode is “BX” which is a variation mode (40 seconds variation time in this example) that can be selected only when the limited frequency table 2 is referred to. During the change of the main game symbol concerned, the change prefetch lottery which will be described later will be executed.

If Yes in step 2714-1 (second variation 1), step 2714-2 (second variation 1)
), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the packaging display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the variation of the decorative symbol reaches the prefetch lottery timing (30 seconds from the variation start). In the case of Yes in step 2714-2 (second variation 1), in step 3400 (second variation 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 executes a changing midway prefetch execution process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2722. .. In addition, in the case of No at step 2714-1 (second variation 1) or step 2714-2 (second variation 1), the procedure moves to step 2718.

In the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, a timer is used to determine whether or not the variation of the decorative design according to the specific variation mode has reached a predetermined timing (30 seconds from the variation start). Although it is configured to be able to perform the changing prefetch lottery, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, blink pattern data, which is information related to the lighting mode of the illumination lamp over time, which is set for each fluctuation mode. Trigger information indicating the timing of performing the prefetch lottery is included in the column, and when the electric lamp is blinked in accordance with the contents of the electric lamp blink pattern data column, the electric signal related to the timing indicated by the trigger information is displayed. The variation prefetch lottery may be executed at the same time that the decoration lamp is turned on. With such a configuration, by executing the blinking pattern data that has been constructed in advance along with the passage of time, it is possible to reliably execute the changing midway prefetch lottery at the timing intended in the design. Therefore, there is no need to use a timer to measure the execution timing, which is an advantage. That is, in the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM that controls the execution timing of the effect, including the variable display and the stop display of the decorative pattern, in the data for effect execution that has been built in advance with the passage of time. Since it is sufficient to include the trigger information in the data, even if it is not in the data for performance production using such an illumination lamp, it is included in other data (for example, for operation control of a movable body accessory for so-called production). Even if the trigger information is included in (in the data of 1), the same merit can be enjoyed.

In addition, in the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, "BX" is the specific variation mode, but the invention is not limited to this, and the variation time and the specific variation mode can be selected (first main game. Side or the second main game side) or the number of holdings may be changed as appropriate.

Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the changing prefetch execution process according to the subroutine of step 3400 (second variation 1) in FIG. 44 in the first modification from the second embodiment. First, in step 3402, the hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information regarding whether or not each hold on the second main game side is trigger hold. Next, in step 3404, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not there is a trigger hold (a hold selected in the following variable midway prefetch lottery) in the hold on the second main game side, based on the read information. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 3404, in step 3406, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 determines each of the second main game sides based on the hold information (the winning/absence lottery random number or the like) in the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b. Preliminary determination of the hold success/failure result. Next, in step 3408, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 refers to the pre-determined result of each hold on the second main game side, and whether or not there is a big hit hold within the second main game hold. Determine whether. In this process, it is determined whether or not there is a big jackpot hold in order from the earliest hold in the second main game hold. The variable prefetching lottery is configured to be executed. In other words, after each hold of the first main game side that becomes the non-priority digesting side (and is relatively disadvantageous to the player), and even after the first hold that becomes a big hit even if the second main game side holds Regarding each hold, it is configured so that the changing midway prefetch lottery cannot be executed. Since it requires immediate responsiveness that it is performed in parallel and that the effect execution content currently in progress can be changed according to the lottery result, the execution of extra lottery processing is omitted as much as possible. It should be added that it is configured so that the above discrepancies do not occur.

In the case of Yes in step 3408, in step 3410, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 holds the variable midway prefetch lottery that wins at a predetermined probability (1/2), only the earliest hold that is a jackpot on the second main game side. To target. Next, in step 3412, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not the earliest jackpot holding has been won in the changing midway prefetch lottery executed in step 3410. In the case of Yes in step 3412, in step 3414, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 writes "trigger hold" to the hold information related to the hold that has been won in the variation midway prefetch lottery in the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b. Is added and information is temporarily stored. Next, in step 3416, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 rewrites the stop symbol of the decorative symbol relating to the variation to a special stop symbol, and shifts to the next process (process of step 2722). Even if No in step 3404, step 3408, or step 3412, the process moves to the next process (process in step 2722).

Here, the right side of the figure is an image diagram of the execution of the pre-fluctuation lookahead effect. This image figure is a variation midway prefetch lottery executed during the variation of the main game symbol that is the specific variation mode (variation mode “BX”, variation time 40 seconds) (30 seconds after the variation starts), The case where the stop design of a decorative design is rewritten is illustrated. First, at the start of the fluctuation, the scheduled stop symbol of the decorative symbol is "777". The variation time of the decorative pattern elapses, and when the prefetch lottery timing (30 seconds from the start of variation) is reached, the variation midway prefetch lottery is executed, and the variation midway prefetch lottery is won. Here, by winning in the changing prefetch lottery, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is rewritten from "777" to "AAA" which is the special symbol. Then, 40 seconds have elapsed from the start of fluctuation, which is the stop timing of the decorative design, and the "AAA" which is the planned stop design after being rewritten, the decorative design is stopped and displayed. By visually recognizing "AAA" which is a special stop symbol, the player can know that there is a big jackpot in the second main game hold, in addition to the jackpot related to the variation.

In addition, in the first modification from the second embodiment, the variable prefetch lottery is configured to be executed only for a big hit in the second main game hold, but the present invention is not limited to this. The type of special map (whether the first main game side is on hold or the second main game side is on hold) and the on/off status of the hold may be appropriately changed so that the prefetch lottery can be executed. Also, the winning probability of the prefetch lottery may be changed, and may be 1/1 (for example, when there is a big jackpot in the main game hold at the time of prefetch lottery determination, the prefetch lottery is always won). In addition, even when it is configured such that the changing midway prefetch lottery can be executed only for the big hit hold in the second main game hold, the changing midway prefetch lottery has a specific round number (for example, 16R) special game. You may comprise so that it may perform only with respect to the jackpot reservation.

With the above-described configuration, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the variation mode of the main game symbol is provided with a specific variation mode, and the decorative symbol according to the particular variation mode is in the middle of variation. When changing midway prefetch lottery is executed at a predetermined timing, and when winning in the midway changing prefetch lottery, the stop display symbol of the decorative symbol in the variation related to the specific variation mode is a special stop symbol for exclusive use (in this example, By configuring so that it can be changed (rewritten) to "AAA"), when the special stop symbol is stopped and displayed as a big hit, there is a big hit hold within the hold of the second main game side. That is, it is possible to create a new game property in which the player is notified.

Further, since it is configured such that the changing prefetching lottery can be executed at a predetermined timing (30 seconds after the start of the change in the change of 40 seconds) during the change of the decorative pattern according to the specific change mode, the prefetch at the start of the change. Compared to the case where the lottery is executed, the look-ahead lottery can be executed even for the hold that occurs from the start of the change to the execution timing of the change pre-reading lottery, and the special stop symbol that notifies the player of high profit appears It is possible to increase the interest of the game.

In the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the changing prefetch lottery is configured not to be executed in the same gaming state (non-probability variation gaming state) as other prefetching lottery. The present invention is not limited to this, and all the prefetch lottery may be executed in the same gaming state. In such a case, it is desirable that the prefetching effects are not continuous with each other so as to prevent the player from recognizing which prefetching effect is being executed.

Further, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, the changing midway prefetch lottery and the other prefetch lottery (preliminary lottery when winning, prefetch lottery when changing start, etc.) are executed in the same gaming state. When configured to obtain, even if the pre-reading effect related to the other pre-reading lottery is being performed, it is possible to execute the mid-course changing pre-reading lottery, in the case of winning the mid-way changing pre-reading lottery, the change It may be configured to forcibly execute the prefetching effect related to the variable midway prefetch lottery from the winning timing of the midway prefetch lottery. In addition, when the variation mode of the trigger suspension related to the prefetch effect related to the other prefetch lottery is the specific variation mode, the variation midway prefetch lottery may be executed during the variation related to the trigger suspension. ..

In addition, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, when the variable prefetch lottery is won, it is configured to change only the stop symbol of the decorative symbol from the winning timing of the prefetch lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in addition to the stop symbol of the decorative symbol, the changing effect is changed to a specific effect (for example, an effect of notifying that the changing prefetch lottery is won). Good. In addition, when winning the variation prefetch lottery, in addition to rewriting the stop symbol (or the effect to be executed) relating to the symbol variation that is currently varying, variation related to the trigger hold existing in the second main game hold It may be configured to rewrite the stop symbol (or the effect to be executed) in each variation up to.

In addition, the content of the effect that is changing in the specific variation mode (in this example, “BX”, is a big hit variation) is a big hit due to the degree of expectation that the big hit hold is present in the hold or the hold present in the hold. It may be configured to be determined based on the profit mode of the case. For example, as in this example, when the percentage of the big hits that shift to the probability variation game state after the end of the special game is 100%, the big hit hold existing in the hold is the hold related to the high profit big hit (16R probability variation big hit). In some cases, the effect that the boss monster appears is executed, and when the low profit big hit (2R probability variation big hit) is on hold, the effect that the small fish monster appears can be executed. Depending on the type of monster appearing in the changing production related to, the fact that a hold existing in the hold will result in a big hit (so-called on-hold condominium) is notified, and the profit mode when the on-hold condominium is operated is also notified. The production can be executed.

When configured in this way, from the time of variation prefetch lottery winning to the end of the big hit hold existing in the second main game hold (in the case of including the variation variation, the period including the variation variation) It may be configured to execute an effect as if one special game was won, which is a profit mode of two special games (for example, 16R×2, 32R). For example, the boss monster A is made to appear as an effect during the special game according to the specific variation mode, the effect of defeating the boss monster A at the time of the variation related to the main game symbol after the special game is continuously displayed, and the special game regarding the trigger hold is performed. By causing the boss monster B to appear at times, a series of productions in which the boss monster A and the boss monster B appear are executed during the period from the change related to the specific change mode to the end of the special game related to the retained villa. Therefore, it is possible to give an effect to the player as if a special big game (for example, 32R special game) exceeding the profit mode of the maximum profit big hit is being executed in one special game.

In addition, when it is configured to be able to execute the effect that informs the in-hold holiday resort, especially when the special game related to the hold in the in-hold holiday resort is executed, the ending effect (the number of holiday games is 10 times). If a production that is executed only when a predetermined condition such as arrival is satisfied) is scheduled to be executed, it can be notified that the ending production is scheduled to be executed at the time of a special game related to holding in hold. It may be configured as follows. In addition, as described above, a period from the special game related to the variation of the specific variation mode to the special game related to the holding that is a big hit in the holding (here, the ending effect is held) By configuring so that the effect can be executed, it is possible to execute an ending effect that displays a moving image with a longer execution scale than the conventional ending effect (for example, the digestion time per 1R of special game is 8 seconds). In this case, at 32R, it is possible to secure the performance execution scale of at least 256 seconds).

In addition, the variation mode of executing the variation midway prefetch lottery is configured to be selected only at the time of a big hit (for example, 16R probability variation big hit) that is the highest profit for the player, and when the predetermined timing during the change of the highest profit big hit is reached, It is determined whether the maximum profit jackpot hold exists in the hold, and if the maximum profit jackpot hold exists in the hold, the stop symbol in the fluctuation related to the maximum profit jackpot currently changing is changed to a special special stop symbol. By configuring so that it can be changed, when the special stop symbol (becomes the maximum profit jackpot) is stopped and displayed, the maximum profit jackpot in the fluctuation is executed, and further, it is linked to the maximum profit jackpot. Since it is notified to the player that (that is, 16R probability variation jackpot is executed multiple times within 5 fluctuations), the player's excitement is suddenly caused by the effect (effect in which the special stop symbol is stopped and displayed). It can be increased.

Further, in the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, the specific variation mode in which the variation midway prefetch lottery is executed can be selected only during the probability variation/time reduction game state, but it is not limited to this. For example, the specific variation mode may be selected even in the time shortening/non-probability variation game state, or during the normal game, the auxiliary game is won, and the second main game starting port electric auditorium product B11d is long. A specific variation mode may be selected in the hold by the second main game side caused by the game ball entering the second main game starting opening B10 when it is opened for a time (for example, 5 consecutive seconds). It may be configured as follows.

In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, in the probability variation/time shortening game state, the limited frequency table 2 is referred to, but in the non-probability variation game/time shortening game state. May be configured to refer to the limited frequency table 2.

Incidentally, in the gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the second embodiment, when the special stop symbol is stopped, there is a big jackpot in the second main game hold. Therefore, during the special game related to the special stop symbol or in the variation after the special game related to the special stop symbol is ended, it may be configured to execute the effect of notifying that the special game is won again within the hold.

In addition, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the prefetch lottery is configured to be executed at the timing when the winning prize is put on hold or at the timing when the main game symbol starts to change, but the timing for executing the prefetch lottery is not The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the prefetch lottery may be executed at the timing when the game ball enters the specific area during the special game. Further, in the case of such a configuration, at the timing when the game ball enters the specific area, referring to the random number delimiter information of the main game holding ball, the game state after the special game being executed is finished (specific Probability judgment in the probability variation game state because it entered the area) is executed for all the hold, if the big hit hold exists in the main game hold, pre-reading effect limited to special games (for example, game The effect is to generate a sound effect to notify the person that there is a big hit hold in the main game hold, and may be configured to be able to execute a so-called on-hold holiday villa notice effect).

Further, in the case of such a configuration, the pre-reading effect limited to the special game is executed when the win/loss section 2 is a random number partition information which is a random number in the non-probability variation game state and a big hit in the probability variation game state. It is desirable to configure to obtain. By configuring in this way, the timing of the winning prize or the variation of the main game symbol is started in the win/loss break 1 which is the win/fail random number break information, which is a big hit in both of the probability fluctuating game condition and the non-probability fluctuation game condition. As a pre-reading effect that can be executed at the timing of, a pending change effect that changes to a rainbow color is executed, and in the non-stochastic fluctuation game state, it becomes a loss and becomes a big hit in the probability fluctuation game state. The pre-reading effect limited to during the special game can be configured to be executed as the pre-reading effect that can be executed when the game ball enters the specific area during execution, and it is appropriate that the two pre-reading effects are not executed at the same time. It is possible to execute a pre-reading effect {Also, in the effect that the hold changes to rainbow color, it also has the meaning of an effect to notify the entry into a specific area (= the transition to the probability variation game state is confirmed) Can be held}. In addition, with respect to the hold that is the win/loss segment 1, since the big hit occurs in both the probability variation game state and the non-probability variation game state, a notice play effect in the on-hold condominium (for example, the hold indicates a big hit confirmation iridescent color) Even if the game ball does not enter the specific area C22 after executing the effect, the game ball is displayed in the specific area C22 if there is a deviation in the effect (for example, if it is a hold that is the win/loss segment 2). It is possible to execute an appropriate look-ahead effect (particularly, an effect for notifying the confirmation of a big hit) that does not cause a big hit when a non-probability variation game state occurs without entering.

In this example, the main game content determination random number information, the winning/discarding random number segment information, the variation mode random number segment information, and the variation mode range information are transmitted to the sub side at the timing when the hold is won. The information to be transmitted to, is not limited to this, information about the stop symbol of the main game symbol, information about the profit mode of the main game symbol that is a big hit (the number of rounds of special games related to the main game symbol scheduled to be stopped, etc.) ), the number of holdings immediately after the holding winning (only the number of holdings on the winning side of the first main gaming side or the second main gaming side, or the number of holdings of both the first main gaming side and the second main gaming side) May be configured to be able to transmit information related to the above.

In this example, the prefetch lottery is not executed when the trigger hold is present in the main game hold, but the condition of not executing the prefetch lottery is not limited to this, and for example, the main game If there is a hold that has a change time of a predetermined time or more in the hold, or if there is a hold that is a reach change (change of the main game symbol that will execute the reach effect), the prefetch lottery It may be configured not to execute.

As a configuration of the gaming machine according to the present example, during one change of the main game symbol, the main display after repeating "temporary stop display of left/middle/right symbol → re-variation (so-called pseudo-variation)" By stopping the game symbol, it is possible to execute a pseudo continuous variation which is a staging method that shows the player as if the main game symbol has changed multiple times during one variation of the main game symbol. You may. Further, when configured in such a manner, during the execution of the prefetching effect, the pseudo continuous change is not executed as the changing effect related to the hold that is digested before the trigger hold, but the changing effect related to the trigger hold is performed. It may be configured to be able to perform pseudo continuous variation.

In this example, the lottery timing of the pre-reading lottery is set at the time of holding, at the start of the change, and during the change, but the lottery timing of the pre-reading lottery is not limited to this, and may be executed at the following timings.
<<Lottery timing for pre-reading lottery>>
・When the fluctuation of the main game symbol is stopped (temporary stop or confirmation display) ・When the sub input button is pressed ・When the hold is exhausted ・Variation start related to the main game symbol of a predetermined fluctuation mode, during fluctuation, when fluctuation stops

In this example, as the execution mode of the prefetching effect, it is configured such that two effects, that is, the change of the hold display mode and the execution of the background effect, can be executed, and both of the two effects can be executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution mode of the prefetching effect may be configured as follows.
<<Execution mode of prefetch production>>
-There are multiple types of look-ahead effects, but only one is executed (only one effect is won in one pre-reading lottery).
When the pre-reading effect is being executed, the pre-reading effect of the same type is not drawn, but the pre-reading effect of a different type may be drawn (may be executed).
When the pre-reading effect is being executed, if the same type of pre-reading effect is won, it is assumed that a different type of pre-reading effect is won (the pre-reading effect is changed).
-Determine the prefetch effect that can be executed based on the game state.
A pre-reading effect that can be executed is determined based on the variation mode selection pattern (the pre-reading effect that can be executed is different when the variation mode selection pattern differs depending on the limited frequency).
-A plurality of types of pre-reading effects are simultaneously selected by lot at a certain timing (only one kind of pre-reading effect is drawn at other timings).

(Third Embodiment)
Here, as one form of the look-ahead effect, a part of certain character information is displayed for each variation started from the time when the trigger suspension occurs until the time when the trigger suspension is exhausted, and the relevant character information displayed for each variation. It is also possible to combine some of the above and execute an effect such that certain character information (for example, a word that suggests a big hit expectation degree of the trigger hold) is completed.

In this case, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 uses the logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) that is referred to when selecting one character information item from a plurality of character information items, and information regarding the hold prefetching result. Based on the look-ahead logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown) that is referred to for determining the timing of displaying one character information, and the timing of displaying one character information within one variation period of the decorative pattern It further has a normal logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown) that is referred to for determining.

Here, Table 1 is an example of a logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) included in the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26. As can be seen from this table, one character information does not make sense as a single piece of information such as "C" or "ANCE", but by displaying a plurality of character information continuously for a certain period. , Is configured to have meaning as specific information such as an English word (for example, by continuously displaying "C", "H", and "ANCE", the English word "CHANCE" is configured. Be done). However, this is an example, and the character information does not depend on the language as long as specific information can be configured, and a graphic or a color may be used instead of the character word. In this example, the logo step-up preliminary announcement effect basic table (not shown) included in the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 is configured to be the same as this table, but is configured as a separate table. May be. In that case, different character information may be displayed as the specific information, or the same specific information may be displayed, but one character information is displayed differently (for example, "CH"" By continuously displaying "AN" and "CE", the English word "CHANCE" is configured).

Table 2 is an example of a look-ahead logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown). As can be seen from this table, in this example, one character information in the table of Table 2 is continuously displayed on the basis of the information on the result of the read-ahead, so that it is configured as a specific information. (For example, by displaying “C” for the first pending item, “H” for the second pending item, and “ANCE” for the third pending item, in each variation over the number of holdings three times. , At the time of digestion of the third hold, the English word "CHANGE" is composed). In the present example, the table for pseudo continuous logo step-up notice effect selection (not shown) included in the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 is configured to be the same as this table, but is a separate table. You may comprise. In that case, different character information may be displayed as the specific information, or the same character information may be displayed at different display timings (for example, the above-described number of times of holding 3 times). On the other hand, by displaying “C” and “H” in the first pseudo-variation and displaying “ANC” in the second pseudo-variation, the English word “CHANCE” is formed at the time when the pseudo-variation is exhausted twice. It may be configured as follows. Although not shown in the figure for the normal logo step-up notice effect selection table, one character information is continuously written within one symbol variation period in a normal symbol variation (a situation where no hold prefetch variation or pseudo variation has occurred). Note that this is a table that is referred to for display.

Next, FIG. 46 is an operation diagram of the look-ahead logo step-up notice effect. First, when a trigger hold occurs in the fourth hold, the hold prefetching effect execution control means SM26 causes the hold first to fourth hold logo steps so that the effect is completed when the trigger hold stored in the fourth hold is exhausted. The character information related to the up notice effect is determined and stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b (first stage in FIG. 46). Next, after the trigger hold is generated, the symbol variation related to the first hold is started, and at the same time, "C", which is the first hold character information stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, is displayed in the display area SG10. Displayed in. Further, at the same time that the character information related to the first hold is output, the character information related to the second hold, the third hold, and the fourth hold stored in the background effect-related information temporary storage means SM23b is the previous one. It is shifted to the storage area (second row in FIG. 46). In the same process, the process proceeds until the trigger-holding time is exhausted (3rd to 5th stages in FIG. 46), and “C”, “H”, “E”, “RRY!” over the four symbol variations. Will be output. In this example, after the character information related to the specific hold is output, when the next hold is displayed and the next character information is output, the character information before the previous time is erased. However, it is not limited to this. In that case, the displayed character information may be left until the character information related to the trigger hold is output after the character information related to the specific hold is output.

According to this example, specific character information such as a word is divided into a plurality of character parts, and the character parts are divided and displayed over a plurality of pattern variations, so that all the character parts are displayed. At the stage when the character information is constructed by the character information, the meaning of the notice display can be surely transmitted to the player by the character information, and at the stage when all the character parts are not displayed, various notice display Since the player is made to imagine the possibility, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Further, since the character parts can be selected so that the effect is completed when the trigger hold is consumed, the character information can be easily converted into character parts for the number of times until the trigger hold is consumed including the trigger hold. .. In this example, the character parts can be selected so that the effect is completed when the trigger is held, but the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, a lottery table may be provided for selecting character parts for each pending use until the trigger holding is completed, and the character parts may be selected by a lottery at each holding completion (for example, In the example of FIG. 46, the lottery table is configured so that not only “C” is selected as the first reserved character information, but also “CH” and “CHE” can be selected).

(Fourth Embodiment)
Here, although different from this example, the variation pattern table may be configured such that the number of variation table selection values is common in the same group in any gaming situation.

The point here is that the variation pattern table is configured so that the number of variation table selection values is common in the same group regardless of the game situation. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 47, as the variation pattern table, there are a deviation table shown in FIG. 47A and a hit table shown in FIG. Then, the disengagement table is referred to when the number of reserved balls is less than a predetermined number (for example, less than 3) in the normal game (A) table, and when the number of reserved balls is greater than or equal to a predetermined number (for example, 3 or more). It is composed of a normal game (B) time table, a probability fluctuation time table, and a fluctuation reduction time table, and a plurality of fluctuation patterns (for example, the expected degree of winning is the same or the expected degree is relatively similar. (Variation patterns that exist) are grouped, and regardless of the game situation, the effect determination random numbers in the same range correspond to each group (the number of variation table selection values is made common) (however, the group For each variation pattern in, the production determination random numbers in different ranges correspond to the game situation). For example, when comparing the normal game (A) time table and the time reduction game time table, both are configured to have the same range (0 to 180) as the effect determination random number within the group A. However, regarding the variation patterns 1 and 2 belonging to the group A, the effect determination random numbers in different ranges correspond to the game situation. Even in the case of the hit table, regardless of the game situation, it is configured to have the same range of effect determination random numbers within the group, but unlike the outlier table, all variation patterns belonging to the group are also related to the game situation. Thus, the effect determination random numbers in the same range correspond. By adopting the above-described configuration, even if the game situation changes after the hold information is transmitted to the display control device 200, if the hold display corresponding to the group is performed, the switching frequency is reduced.

(Fifth Embodiment)
Although not particularly shown in this example, it may be configured so that a small win can be won. Here, the small hit is a hit on the main game side, and by winning the small hit, a predetermined opening end condition (for example, entering a predetermined number of balls into a special winning opening or a predetermined opening pattern) This is a unit game in which the special winning opening is opened (or opened/closed) only once until it is satisfied. Also, the gaming state (particularly, the main game winning probability, the auxiliary game winning probability, the auxiliary game variation time) does not change when the small hit occurs. Also, in the same (or almost the same) opening manner as the opening manner of the big winning opening due to the small hit (for example, 0.5 second opening → 1.0 second closing → 0.5 second opening → closing), the big winning opening It may be equipped with a jackpot for opening. In addition, by changing the opening time and the number of times of opening the special winning opening during the special game, even if the number of rounds to be executed is the same big hit, the expected value of the number of winning prize balls is large (big opening It takes a long time, for example, a 16R big hit to open 16 times for a maximum of 30 seconds, and a big hit with a small expected value of the number of winning prize balls (the opening time of the special winning opening is short, for example, a maximum winning opening of 30 seconds is 8 times). There is a 16R jackpot in which a maximum of 0.5 seconds is opened for 8 times, and a jackpot in which a payout of substantially 8R can be expected) is present.

(Sixth Embodiment)
In addition, although not particularly shown in the present example, a hold prefetching effect related to a winning hold (for example, an effect that is continuously executed over one or more symbol variations, at the time when the effect is executed). Until all existing holds are exhausted, each time each hold is exhausted, a big hit notification is announced in advance at a predetermined timing before the pattern change is finished, that is, a big hit announcement effect, etc.) It may be configured such that, among the existing holds, all the change forms of the hold that are scheduled to be consumed before the hit hold are not the change forms related to the reach effect.” With such a configuration, even if a hold prefetching effect (especially, an effect with a high expectation that there is a big hit hold, such as a big hit announcement effect) has occurred, it will be lost due to fluctuations related to the reach effect. Can be prevented. If the hold prefetching effect is not to be executed when the hit hold is generated, thereafter, the hold prefetching effect related to the hit hold is executed at each timing such as the start of variation before the hit hold. It may be configured to be able to determine whether or not. When configured in this way, the opportunities to execute the hold-ahead read effect increase, and it becomes possible to improve the enjoyment of the game (for example, when the hold-ahead read effect is not executed because the above condition is not satisfied, Also, when the hold, which is the variation mode related to the reach effect, in the hold is exhausted, the condition is satisfied, and the hold prefetch effect can be executed).

(Seventh embodiment)
Also, although not particularly shown in the present example, during the special game, the random number temporarily stored in the holding means is referred to, and the contents and/or result of the effect executed after the end of the special game are prefetched for the random number. In addition, it may be configured such that a notice for notifying or suggesting that there is a hit or a possibility of the hold can be executed during the special game. In that case, as compared with the prior art in which the advance notice is executed only when the winning random number is acquired, there is a case where the random number related to the big hit exists among those held before the shift to the special game. Even if the notice is executed, the notice can be executed even if there is a random number for which a variation mode that is a loss but has a high possibility of a big hit is selected.

Further, at a plurality of timings during the special game, by referring to the random numbers temporarily stored in the holding means at each timing, the contents and/or result of the effect executed after the end of the special game are prefetched for the random numbers, When it is configured to determine whether or not to give notice and/or the content for each timing, it is possible to reflect the transition of the hold information during the special game in the notice.

(Eighth Embodiment)
Further, although not particularly shown in this example, it is an effect that is executed in conjunction with the symbol variation of the auxiliary game symbol, and as the effect result, either the auxiliary game side game result or the main game side game result. It may be configured to be able to execute a roulette effect that can be notified or suggested. In that case, when the roulette effect is executed, the result of the game on the main game side can be notified or suggested in a form independent of the variation mode of the main game symbol. By informing or suggesting the game result on the game side, a variety of effects will be created. Further, when the roulette effect is configured to be executed in a form independent of the variation mode of the main game symbol, a plurality of roulette effects are produced in a period until the main game symbol starts and ends one symbol variation. As a result that can be executed, it is possible to create a further aspect of the effect.

Furthermore, when it is configured to determine whether or not to execute the roulette effect based on the number of holdings on the first main game side, for example, when it is configured to increase the execution frequency of the roulette effect in a situation where the number of holdings is small. , Even if the gasse effect (effect that merely plays a role of bustling) related to the symbol variation of the first main game symbol is reduced, the interest of the effect does not decrease for the player, and the game on the auxiliary game side Since it is possible to have a sense of expectation that the result will be won, it is possible to enhance the fun of the game.

Further, when determining whether or not to execute the roulette effect, the symbol variation situation of the main game symbol (decorative variation situation of the decorative symbol executed in conjunction with the symbol variation of the main game symbol) and the symbol variation situation are executed. In consideration of the execution status of various effects that have been performed, if these situations are conditions that the player should pay attention to, the player may cancel the execution of the roulette effect or the frequency of execution may be reduced. It is possible to execute the roulette effect without impairing the visibility of the desired information.

Further, when the second main game starting port electric accessory B11d executes the special opening/closing mode, if it is configured to be able to execute the opening/closing operation that is substantially the same as the opening/closing mode that is not the special opening/closing mode, for the player, the auxiliary game After the symbols are stopped and displayed, only by visually recognizing that the opening/closing operation of the second main game starting opening electric accessory B11d has performed the special opening/closing operation of the second main game starting opening electric accessory B11d. As a result of being configured to make it difficult to determine whether or not it is being executed, it is possible to further improve the interest of the roulette effect by utilizing the period in which it is difficult to determine.

(9th Embodiment)
Further, in the above example, as the hold prefetching effect, the display mode of the hold is changed so that the effect suggesting the jackpot expectation degree of the hold can be executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other than the hold. It may be configured to be able to perform an effect that suggests the jackpot expectation degree related to the suspension of.

For example, FIG. 48 and FIG. 49 show an example of the special hold display determination table for determining the display mode of the effect that suggests the jackpot expectation degree related to the hold other than the hold. Here, in the figure, “Lmax” is the reliability of the hold having the highest reliability level among the holds other than the “special hold” for which the special hold display is scheduled. Further, “Lt” is the reliability of “special hold” for which special hold display is scheduled. As described above, in the present example, attention is paid to the difference between Lmax and Lt, that is, whether or not there is another hold with a higher reliability than the reliability of the special hold, and the special hold display is performed according to the result. It is configured to determine the content. Specifically, this example is configured as follows. First, if the reliability of special suspension is the highest than any of the reliability of other suspensions, "↑" is displayed. In particular, if the difference between the reliability of the special hold and the one with the highest reliability among other holds is the maximum value, "↑↑" is displayed indicating that the reliability is high. It Next, if the reliability of the special hold is the same as the maximum value of the reliability of any other hold, in addition to "↑" indicating that the reliability of the special hold itself is the maximum, Either one or both of “←” and “→” indicating that the reliability of the hold is the same is displayed. Here, the direction of the arrow displayed is toward the side where there is a hold with high reliability. For example, when the special hold is the second one, the first one is the one with the high reliability, and "←" is displayed, and when the special hold is the second, the reliability is high. When the hold is the fourth hold, "→" is displayed. Further, when the special hold is the second hold, and when there is the first hold and the fourth hold with high reliability, "←" and "→" are displayed. As described above, when a highly reliable hold is present, a scalar display is displayed at the place of the conventional highly reliable hold (for example, when the reliability is high, the color of the hold display is changed according to the reliability, , Which is different from that of the other), a vector display that directly or indirectly indicates a certain hold (special hold in this example) to the hold with high reliability. Furthermore, in terms of changing the number of → depending on the reliability, a scalar display is also executed. Next, if the reliability of the special hold is lower than any of the other reliability, either or both of “←” and “→” indicating the direction in which the hold with the highest reliability exists is displayed. It In particular, when the difference between the reliability of the highest-reliability hold and the reliability of the special-hold is the maximum value, one of "←←" and "→→" indicating high reliability is suggested. One or both are displayed.

In addition, in the present example, it is configured to determine whether or not the special suspension is possible and the content based on the read-ahead information of the variation mode, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, it may be configured to determine whether or not the special suspension is possible and the content thereof based on a combination of these and the variation mode. Further, the special-pending display forms “→” and “←” are merely examples, and other display forms, for example, special-holding display forms (eg, shape) and changes in colors (scalar display) May be given a vector meaning. As an example, when a certain hold (special hold) becomes the first form (for example, red), it means that there is a highly reliable hold in the hold that is digested before that, When a certain hold (special hold) becomes the second form (for example, blue), it means that there is a hold with high reliability in the hold that is consumed after that.

Next, the operation of this example will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Hide special hold in the absence of trigger hold -> Special hold display)
First, FIG. 50 is an operation diagram when the trigger hold can be performed when the hold (L4) having high reliability exists. Here, the upper stage is a diagram showing the appearance on the effect display device SG, and the lower stage is a diagram showing the temporarily stored contents of the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b. In this example, since the trigger hold is the target of the "special hold display", first, the display form of the trigger hold itself is a special hold display form different from the normal display form. Since there is a hold (L4) higher than the trigger hold reliability (L3) before the trigger hold that is the target of this special hold display, an additional special hold display is displayed on the special hold display. A certain "←" is displayed. With these displays, the player first has a feeling of expectation when the third hold is exhausted, because the hold related to the third hold is a special hold display. Furthermore, since "←" exists on the hold display related to the third hold, the player holds the first hold or the second hold that is digested before the third hold.
It will be recognized that there is a hold with a higher reliability than the third hold. In this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation from the stage before the third special hold display of the hold is exhausted.

(Special hold display → Correction of special hold display due to changes in the situation)
Next, FIG. 51 is an operation diagram in the case of changing from the situation of FIG. 50 due to the further establishment of the hold (L4) with high reliability. In the present example, the additional special hold display attached on the third special hold display is changed to “←” (up) and “→” (down). Due to this change in the display, the player confirms that there is a hold with a higher degree of reliability than the hold of the third hold, in the first hold or the second hold that is consumed before the third hold. In addition to the recognition, it is recognized that the fourth hold also has a higher reliability hold than the third hold. In the present example, when different variation modes are selected depending on the number of reserved balls even with the same random number, the pre-read result may be different. Even in such a case, if the prefetch result is updated again and the special pending display is corrected when the situation changes, it is possible to prevent the discrepancy between the special pending display content and the actual result. Becomes

(Hide special hold in the presence of trigger hold → Special hold display)
Next, FIG. 52 is an operation diagram when the special hold display is not performed although the trigger hold is completed, and the special hold display is performed when the special hold display condition is satisfied. First, when the trigger hold of the reliability L4 is made as the second hold, the special hold display condition is satisfied, but the third hold is selected as the hold for which the special hold is displayed, so the special hold display is performed. Is not executed. Under this circumstance, since the third hold has been made, the reserved special hold display is given to the third hold. Here, since the reliability of the third hold is L1, “←” is displayed as an additional special hold display. Thus, in the case of this example, the internal processing is completely different, but the display is completely the same as in FIG. If the trigger hold is exhausted after the trigger hold has been completed without further hold, the special hold display is not executed.

According to this example, when there is a hold, the content of the random number related to the hold is pre-read, and the pachinko gaming machine that notifies or suggests the pre-read result to the player is a normal hold display with respect to the display of a hold. Separately or instead of the normal hold display, a special hold display is displayed, and this special hold display indicates the result of comparison between the content of random numbers related to a certain hold and the content of random numbers related to a hold other than the certain hold. Since it is configured to be based on the special hold display, when the special hold display is made, the expectation is not given only to the hold related to the special hold display in the gaming machine so far, and the special hold display is displayed. For holds other than this hold, the look-ahead result is indirectly applied to other holds with the expectation added or reduced with respect to the hold related to the special hold display. There is an effect that it is possible to notify or suggest.

Further, when displaying the special hold identification information, the first step of determining the hold to be the display target of the special hold identification information, the content of the random number related to the hold to be the display target of the special hold identification information, and the special hold The second step of comparing the contents of random numbers related to the hold other than the hold for which the identification information is displayed, and determining the special hold identification information displayed on the hold identification information display means based on the comparison result. Since the process is configured to be executed in order, the process of deciding the hold to be displayed as the special hold identification information determines whether the content of the random number related to the hold from the main control unit side satisfies the predetermined condition. There is an effect that it can be completed only by such a determination process.

Further, when displaying the special hold identification information, the first step of determining a certain hold that is not the display target of the special hold identification information by referring to the content of the random number related to the hold from the main control unit side, After comparing the content of the random number related to the hold with the random number related to the hold for which the special hold identification information is displayed, etc., the special hold identification information displayed on the hold identification information display means is determined based on the comparison result. Since it is configured to execute the processing in the order of the second step, the effect of being able to easily perform control of the reliability level in other suspensions is provided, as compared with the above mode. That is, in this aspect, when the special hold identification information is displayed, when the hold (trigger hold of the special hold identification information display) that is a trigger is temporarily stored, the special hold identification information is displayed for the hold that is the trigger. Done. In this case, when determining the contents of the special hold display identification information, the contents other than the hold that is the trigger are taken into consideration. However, for example, when the jackpot probability is about 1/300, and the selection probability of the highly reliable variation mode (super reach) is about 1/100, among the holds other than the trigger hold, the trigger hold Also, the frequency of high reliability holdings is not so high. Therefore, in the above-described mode, in many cases, the expectation is high for the holds for which the special hold identification information is displayed, but the expectation is low for holds other than this hold, and as a result, the special hold identification information displayed is reduced. The contents are also such contents (that is, special holding identification information indicating that other holding balls have low reliability). On the other hand, in this aspect, when performing the special hold identification information display, when the hold (trigger hold of the special hold identification information display) serving as a trigger is temporarily stored, the special hold identification information is displayed for the hold serving as the trigger. This is not done, but special hold identification information is made for holds other than this hold. Therefore, in this aspect, in many cases, the hold with the special hold identification information does not have a high expectation, but there is a hold with a high expectation (hold as a trigger) in any of the holds other than this hold. As a result, the content of the special pending identification information displayed also has such content (that is, the special pending identification information indicating that there is a highly reliable one among the other pending balls).

Further, under the situation where the special holding identification information is displayed on the holding identification information display means, when the new random number is temporarily stored in the holding means on the main control side, the special holding identification information is displayed. Since the rewriting process of the aspect is configured to be executed, it is possible to cope with a situation in which the display content of the conventional special hold identification information should be revised due to a change in the situation thereafter.

In addition, in this example, even when the trigger hold existing flag is turned on, that is, even if there is any trigger hold during the hold, even when the hold that can be the trigger hold is newly formed. The special hold display target hold different from the already-set special hold display target hold is not determined. That is, in this example, the trigger hold and the special hold display target hold are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be one-to-multiple, multiple-to-one, or multiple-to-multiple.

(10th Embodiment)
Further, as one form of the hold prefetching effect, it is also possible to execute an effect that suggests a reach effect when the trigger hold is consumed.

Here, with reference to FIG. 53, the operation of the hold prefetching effect that suggests the reach effect when the trigger hold is consumed will be described. First, FIG. 53 is an example of display contents on the effect display device SG. Hereinafter, description will be made in time series. In addition, the numbers given to the reservations in the table indicate the order of digestion.

First, at the start of the first (variation 1) variation, there are four reserves on the first game side and two reserves on the second game side (“variation 1-1”). Under such a situation, a hold satisfying the trigger hold condition is temporarily stored as the third hold (variable ranking seventh) on the second game side. Incidentally, this trigger hold is a hold in which the variation mode “A4-4” is displayed at the time of digestion. In this example, a button operation by the player is required as a notice display condition, and if the button operation is neglected, the variation mode of the trigger hold may be forcibly replaced with a lower one. In the explanation, it is assumed that the player has properly operated the buttons according to the instructions. Then, the first (variation 1) variation ends.

By the way, since the trigger hold is temporarily stored at the time of the first change, it is determined that the notice display is made step by step when the hold is consumed before the trigger hold. In this example, since the variation mode of the trigger hold is "A4-4" and the value of the random number for advance notice availability/content determination is "10", the continuous advance notice content is "X ₁ (three triggers before hold)". →X ₂ (two before trigger hold)→X ₃ (one before trigger hold)→X ₄ (hold trigger) is selected (see FIG. 54 ). However, since variations 2 to 4 are not subject to continuous announcement display, no announcement is displayed as shown in FIG.

Then, in the fifth variation (“variation 5”), which is three triggers before hold, the first notice display X ₁ is executed. At this time, since "X ₁ " is displayed as a notice, the player executes "Super reach B in which X ₁ appears" in the change, or "X ₂ appears in the hold after this". Recognize that "super reach B" having a reliability equal to or higher than "super reach B" is executed (when it is not bad). It should be noted that the player looks at the production while hoping for the latter because of the higher reliability. Then, in the variation, "super reach B in which X ₁ appears" is not executed, and the fifth variation ends. At this point, if the notice is not bad, it is determined that “Super Reach B”, which is a reliability higher than or equal to “Super Reach B in which X ₂ appears” will be executed in a later hold.

Then, in the sixth variation (“variation 6”) that is two triggers before the hold, the second notice display X ₂ is executed. At this time, since “X ₂ ”is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super reach B in which X ₂ appears” in the fluctuation, or “X ₃ appears in the hold after this”. Recognize that "super reach B" having a reliability equal to or higher than "super reach B" is executed (when it is not bad). Then, the "super reach B in which X ₂ appears" is not executed in this variation, and the sixth variation ends. At this time point, if the notice is not bad, it is determined that “Super Reach B”, which is the reliability level of “Super Reach B in which X ₃ appears” or higher, will be executed in a later hold.

Then, in the seventh variation (“variation 7”), which is one before the trigger hold, the third notice display X ₃ is executed. At this time, since “X ₃ ”is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super reach B in which X ₃ appears” in the fluctuation, or “X ₄ appears in a hold after this”. Recognize that "super reach B" having a reliability equal to or higher than "super reach B" is executed (when it is not bad). Then, the "super reach B in which X ₃ appears" is not executed in this variation, and the seventh variation ends. At this point, if the notice is not bad, it is determined that “Super Reach B”, which is the reliability of “Super Reach B in which X ₄ appears” or higher, will be executed in a later hold.

Then, in the eighth variation (“variation 8”) corresponding to the trigger suspension, the fourth notice display X ₄ is executed. At this time, since “X ₄ ”is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super reach B in which X ₄ appears” in the fluctuation, or “X ₅ appears in a later hold”. Recognize that "super reach B" having a reliability equal to or higher than "super reach B" is executed (when it is not bad). Then, "Super reach B in which X ₄ appears" is executed in the variation ("variation 8-3"), and the winning symbol "333" is stopped.

In this way, when trigger hold is possible, continuous notice can be executed at the time of change before or after the trigger hold is exhausted, and the content of trigger hold at the time of continuous notice, especially when the change is based on trigger hold By configuring the effect contents of (1) to be notified or suggested in stages (step-up) over a plurality of holding digests before or after the trigger suspension, Unlike the previous notification related to the reliability, the contents of the effect of the trigger hold can be specifically grasped, and since it is notified or suggested in order from the one corresponding to the variation mode with the low reliability, it is only the first time. The effect is that it is possible to gradually increase the sense of expectation up to the fluctuation related to trigger hold.

Furthermore, when it is configured to decide whether or not to execute the sub-draft based on the preliminary determination result and the number of holding balls, ineffective sub-draft if there is an insufficient number of holdings when informing or suggesting in stages. It is possible to prevent the execution of the above and reduce the processing load.

Further, even if the execution of the sub-effect is decided, if the player does not operate the operation information output means, the sub-effect is not executed and the content of the main effect when the trigger is held is special game depending on the operation situation of the player. In the case where it is configured so that it can be forcibly replaced with one with a low transition expectation, the operation of the operation information output means is promoted, so that the player can be more involved in the game.

(Eleventh embodiment)
Further, when receiving the hold information command from the main control board M and displaying the hold information, if there is a hit or a game situation switching timing before the hold, the hold information is ignored. May be. With such a configuration, when notifying a fluctuation result or a fluctuation mode in advance, when the probability fluctuation gaming state is changed to the non-probability fluctuation gaming state, or when the time shortening gaming state ends, the variation previously notified It is possible to prevent a player from betraying the expectation of the player that the result and/or variation mode is different from the actual variation result and/or variation mode. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent troubles between the game store and the player caused by the display that disappoints the expectation.

The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when performing the prefetching effect, the effect is switched (for example, when a predetermined number of times of variation is reached during ST, the variation mode is changed). When there is a situation (switching the table to be referred to for determination), by not performing the prefetching effect across the effect switching, the effect switching and the prefetching effect may confuse the player. It may be configured to prevent it. On the contrary, when the prefetching effect is executed across the effect switching, the big hit expectation degree may be high in the change related to the holding that triggered the effect. In addition, regarding the in-holding long-distance trailer notice effect, during the execution of the special game related to the first hit (big hit in the non-time-reduced game state), a hold that becomes a big hit (for example, a hold that is a win/loss segment 1) is held. Even if it exists, it does not execute the in-hold holidays notice effect, and there is a big hit hold in the hold during the execution (or change) of the special game related to the big hit in the time shortening game state. Only in such a case, it may be configured so that the notice effect in the on-hold vacation resort can be executed.
