Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low probability state and a high probability state as game states in which the jackpot probabilities are different. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery (internal lottery). The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. In the high-probability state, the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery is higher than in the low-probability state, which is an advantageous gaming state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)".

The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a low base state corresponding to the first state and a high base state corresponding to the second state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of fired game balls is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 13 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is the so-called "electric support state", and the low base state is the so-called "non-electric support state". In the high base state, the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 13 increases, so that the game state is advantageous. In the high base state, the advantage regarding the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 13 is higher than in the low base state.

For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol that changes the probability of winning the ordinary winning lottery (ordinary winning probability) with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the first variable member 16 in one normal hit game longer than in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes a control that increases the number of times the first variable member 16 is opened in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 16 in the normal hit game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of the above longer than that in the low base state. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol, which makes it easier for the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) to be shorter than in the low base state. When the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state becomes the so-called "variation time reduction state".

Next, the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as jackpot symbols of special symbols. The plurality of types of jackpot symbols are classified into a first jackpot symbol, a second jackpot symbol, and a third jackpot symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit is won in a big hit lottery triggered by the entry of a game ball into the first starting port 12, for example, there is a 15% probability of a first big hit symbol and a 48% probability of winning. The second jackpot symbol is selected, and the third jackpot symbol is selected with a probability of 37%. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit is won in a big hit lottery triggered by the entry of a game ball into the second starting port 13, for example, there is a 55% probability of the first big hit symbol and an 8% probability. The second jackpot symbol is selected, and the third jackpot symbol is selected with a probability of 37%. The types of jackpots are defined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols, and there are multiple types of jackpots. Specifically, the first jackpot symbol is defined as the first jackpot, the second jackpot symbol is defined as the second jackpot, and the third jackpot symbol is defined as the third jackpot. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the first jackpot is referred to as "first jackpot game", the jackpot game based on the second jackpot is referred to as "second jackpot game", and the jackpot game based on the third jackpot is referred to as "third jackpot game".

The plurality of types of small hit symbols are classified into a first small hit symbol and a second small hit symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a small hit is won by a small hit lottery, for example, the first small hit symbol is selected with a probability of 60% and the second small hit symbol is selected with a probability of 40%. The types of small hits are defined for each of the plurality of types of small hit symbols, and there are multiple types of small hits. Specifically, the first small hit symbol is defined as the first small hit, and the second small hit symbol is defined as the second small hit. Hereinafter, the small hit game based on the first small hit is referred to as a "first small hit game", and the small hit game based on the second small hit is referred to as a "second small hit game".

In the small hit game, the large winning opening 14 is opened, and the game ball is allowed to enter the large winning opening 14. In the small hit game, the large winning opening 14 is opened in a predetermined opening mode determined for each type of small hit. In the small hit game, the large winning opening 14 is until the first open game end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or the second open game end condition in which the predetermined upper limit time elapses is satisfied. During that time, it is opened in a predetermined opening mode. In the present embodiment, the opening mode of the large winning opening 14 when the first small hit game is generated is different from the opening mode of the large winning opening 14 when the second small hit game is generated.

The display effect that can be executed by the effect display device 11 in the present embodiment includes an effect symbol variation game (hereinafter, referred to as an effect game) using a symbol for effect (hereinafter, referred to as an effect symbol). The production pattern is a pattern that is decorated with characters and patterns, and is also called a "decorative pattern" or a "decorative pattern". The production game is performed by displaying (scrolling) the symbol rows of the first row, the second row, and the third row in the vertical direction. The effect symbol in the first row is the first symbol Z1, the effect symbol in the second row is the second symbol Z2, and the effect symbol in the third row is the third symbol Z3. In this way, the effect display device 11 executes the effect symbol variation game using the first symbol Z1, the second symbol Z2, and the third symbol Z3. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 for executing the effect symbol variation game using the first symbol Z1, the second symbol Z2, and the third symbol Z3 uses the first symbol, the second symbol, and the third symbol. It functions as a production game execution unit that executes a production design variation game. In the following description, the "first column" is referred to as the "left column", the "first symbol Z1" is indicated as the "left symbol Z1", the "second column" is indicated as the "middle row", and the "second symbol" is indicated. "Z2" is referred to as "middle symbol Z2", "third column" is indicated as "right column", and "third symbol Z3" is indicated as "right symbol Z3". In the present embodiment, as a general rule, in each column, the effect symbols imitating the numbers [1] to [8] are displayed in a variable order in a predetermined order. In the production game, the combination of the production symbols is finally displayed as a fixed stop. The combination of the effect symbols corresponds to the symbol combination of the first symbol Z1, the second symbol Z2, and the third symbol Z3. That is, in the present embodiment, in the effect symbol variation game, the symbol combination of the first symbol Z1, the second symbol Z2, and the third symbol Z3 is stopped and displayed. The production game is a symbol variation game different from the special game. In addition, the production game is a symbol variation game different from the specific game.

The production game is performed in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the production game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect symbol variation game during the execution of the special symbol variation game. Then, in the production game, the combination of the production symbols corresponding to the special symbols displayed in the special game is fixedly stopped and displayed. When the jackpot symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, the jackpot symbol combination is fixedly stopped and displayed in the production game. For example, the big hit symbol combination is a symbol combination such as "777" in which the effect symbols in all rows are the same. Further, when the small hit symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, the small hit symbol combination is fixedly stopped and displayed in the effect game. For example, the small hit symbol combination may be a part or all of the outlier symbol combinations described later, or a symbol combination that is fixedly stopped and displayed only when the small hit is won. May be good. In addition, when the out-of-order symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the special game, the out-of-order symbol combination is fixedly stopped and displayed in the effect game. For example, the out-of-order symbol combination is a symbol combination in which at least one row of the effect symbols is different from the other row of effect symbols, such as "323" and "426". In the production game, the production symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed before the final stop display is displayed. In the present specification, the "temporary stop display" means a state indicating that the display is different from the fixed stop display, such as "sway fluctuation state".

In the production game, the display mode of the production symbol becomes the reach mode (reach is formed), and the reach effect may be performed. In the reach mode, the effect symbols imitating the same number are temporarily stopped and displayed in a specific column (for example, the left column and the right column) among the plurality of columns, and a column different from the specific column (for example, the middle column) is displayed. ) Is still displayed in a variable manner. The reach effect may include a plurality of types of reach effects in which the characters to appear and the actions of the effect symbols are different. There are two types of reach production: normal reach production and super reach production performed after the start of normal reach production. Then, when the super reach effect is executed during the execution of the special game, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when only the normal reach effect is executed. The reach effect is performed during the execution of the special game.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
First, the special symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 12 based on whether or not a detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 has been input (hereinafter, referred to as a first input determination). .. When the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the number of first special reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) (hereinafter, , Shown as the first hold judgment). If the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first special hold number and updates it. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated first special hold number. The main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first hold number command) capable of specifying the updated first special hold number in the output buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the next and subsequent interrupt processes. If the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40 and stores the random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the first special game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied. The pachinko gaming machine 10 can suspend the execution of the first special game. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. For example, the random numbers are random numbers used for winning lottery such as big hit lottery and small hit lottery (random numbers for winning lottery), random numbers used for determining special symbols (random numbers for symbol lottery), and random numbers used for determining fluctuation patterns (variation). Random numbers for pattern lottery) and so on.

Further, after storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a enters the second start port 13 based on whether or not the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input. It is determined whether or not the game ball has entered (hereinafter referred to as the second input determination). If the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs the second input determination. Similarly, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs the second input determination. If the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the number of second special reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). (Hereinafter referred to as the second hold determination). If the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second special hold number and updates it. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated second special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) capable of specifying the updated second special hold number in the output buffer. If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c, and has a special symbol. End the input process. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the second special game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied. The pachinko gaming machine 10 can suspend the execution of the second special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that the execution of the special game can be suspended.

Next, the special symbol start processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the execution condition of the special game is satisfied (hereinafter, referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a determines affirmatively when it is not in a hit game (big hit game, small hit game) and not in a special game, while it makes a negative determination when it is in a hit game or in a special game. To do. If the determination result of the execution determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. Then, when the number of the second special hold is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs the second special symbol start processing related to the execution of the second special game. When the second special hold number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. If the first special hold number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special hold number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process after performing the first special symbol start process related to the execution of the first special game.

First, the first special symbol start processing will be described.
In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the number of first special reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c to update. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a first hold number command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the first special game. When the main control CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, it erases the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the big hit based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a big hit lottery (big hit determination) as to whether or not it is a big hit. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is won may be determined by whether or not the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value match. The main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery in a high probability state so that the probability of winning a big hit is higher than in a low probability state. The determination of whether or not the jackpot is won may be determined by whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

Then, when a big hit is won in the big hit lottery related to the first special game (the big hit lottery in the first special symbol start processing), the main control CPU 40a has a big hit symbol (special symbol) to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the first special game. The jackpot fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern) is determined. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot fluctuation pattern classified into the first special symbol fluctuation pattern. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol based on the value of the symbol lottery random number, and determine the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern lottery random number. In addition, determining the jackpot symbol by lottery corresponds to the type of jackpot being drawn. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores in the main control RAM 40c information that can identify the determined fluctuation pattern (hereinafter, referred to as fluctuation pattern information) based on the determined fluctuation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the main control RAM 40c information that can identify the determined special symbol (hereinafter referred to as special symbol information) based on the determined special symbol. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the fluctuation pattern, so that the function as the fluctuation pattern determining means is realized.

On the other hand, when the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery related to the first special game, it is determined whether or not the small hit is won based on the read random number information and the small hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. To do. This process corresponds to a small hit lottery (small hit determination) as to whether or not it is a small hit. For example, the determination as to whether or not a small hit is won may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information and the small hit determination value match. The determination as to whether or not a small hit is won may be made based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the small hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

Then, when a small hit is won in the small hit lottery related to the first special game (small hit lottery in the first special symbol start processing), the main control CPU 40a displays the small hit symbol (special) to be confirmed and stopped in the first special game. The symbol) and the small hit fluctuation pattern (variation pattern) are determined. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the small hit variation pattern classified into the first special symbol variation pattern. Determining the small hit symbol by lottery corresponds to the lottery of the type of small hit. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol based on the value of the symbol lottery random number, and determine the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern lottery random number. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores the fluctuation pattern information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined fluctuation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the special symbol information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined special symbol.

On the other hand, if the big hit lottery related to the first special game does not win the big hit and the small hit lottery does not win the small hit (in the case of a loss), the main control CPU 40a is displayed as a fixed stop display in the first special game. The symbol (special symbol) and the out-of-order fluctuation pattern (variation pattern) are determined. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol based on the value of the symbol lottery random number, and determine the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern lottery random number. Further, for example, when the big hit lottery related to the first special game does not win the big hit and the small hit is not won in the small hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a performs the reach lottery and wins the reach lottery. The variation pattern with out-of-reach may be determined, and if the reach lottery is not won, the variation pattern without out-of-reach may be determined. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores the fluctuation pattern information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined fluctuation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the special symbol information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined special symbol. In the present embodiment, the function as the winning lottery means is realized by performing the big hit lottery and the small winning lottery corresponding to the winning lottery by the main control CPU 40a.

After determining the special symbol in the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a generates control information (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol designation command) capable of identifying the determined special symbol and stores it in the output buffer. Further, after determining the fluctuation pattern in the first special symbol start processing, the main control CPU 40a generates control information (hereinafter, referred to as a fluctuation pattern designation command) capable of identifying the determined fluctuation pattern and stores it in the output buffer. .. Then, when the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command are stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a ends the first special symbol start process.

Next, the second special symbol start processing will be described.
In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c and updates it. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a second hold number command capable of specifying the updated second special hold number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the second special game. When the main control CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, it erases the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the big hit based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a big hit lottery (big hit determination) as to whether or not it is a big hit. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is won may be determined by whether or not the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value match. The main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery in a high probability state so that the probability of winning a big hit is higher than in a low probability state. The determination of whether or not the jackpot is won may be determined by whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

Then, when a big hit is won in the big hit lottery related to the second special game (the big hit lottery in the second special symbol start processing), the main control CPU 40a determines and stops the big hit symbol (special symbol) to be displayed in the second special game. The jackpot fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern) is determined. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot fluctuation pattern classified into the second special symbol fluctuation pattern. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol based on the value of the symbol lottery random number, and determine the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern lottery random number. In addition, determining the jackpot symbol by lottery corresponds to the type of jackpot being drawn. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores the fluctuation pattern information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined fluctuation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the special symbol information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined special symbol.

On the other hand, if the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery related to the second special game, it is determined whether or not the small hit is won based on the read random number information and the small hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. To do. This process corresponds to a small hit lottery (small hit determination) as to whether or not it is a small hit. For example, the determination as to whether or not a small hit is won may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information and the small hit determination value match. The determination as to whether or not a small hit is won may be made based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the small hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

Then, when a small hit is won in the small hit lottery related to the second special game (small hit lottery in the second special symbol start processing), the main control CPU 40a displays the small hit symbol (special) to be confirmed and stopped in the second special game. The symbol) and the small hit fluctuation pattern (variation pattern) are determined. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the small hit variation pattern classified into the second special symbol variation pattern. Determining the small hit symbol by lottery corresponds to the lottery of the type of small hit. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol based on the value of the symbol lottery random number, and determine the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern lottery random number. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores the fluctuation pattern information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined fluctuation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the special symbol information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined special symbol.

On the other hand, if the big hit lottery related to the second special game does not win the big hit and the small hit lottery does not win the small hit (in the case of a loss), the main control CPU 40a is displayed as a fixed stop display in the second special game. The symbol (special symbol) and the out-of-order fluctuation pattern (variation pattern) are determined. The main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol based on the value of the symbol lottery random number, and determine the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern lottery random number. Further, for example, when the big hit lottery related to the second special game does not win the big hit and the small hit is not won in the small hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a performs the reach lottery and wins the reach lottery. The variation pattern with out-of-reach may be determined, and if the reach lottery is not won, the variation pattern without out-of-reach may be determined. Then, the main control CPU 40a stores the fluctuation pattern information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined fluctuation pattern. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the special symbol information in the main control RAM 40c based on the determined special symbol.

After determining the special symbol in the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a generates a symbol designation command and stores it in the output buffer. Further, after determining the variation pattern in the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a generates a variation pattern designation command and stores it in the output buffer. Then, when the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command are stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a ends the second special symbol start process.

When the special symbol start process is completed, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing elapses, the main control CPU 40a displays the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start processing is fixedly stopped and displayed. Control. Further, the main control CPU 40a generates control information (hereinafter, referred to as an end designation command) instructing the end of the special game when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing elapses. Store in the output buffer.

Next, the prize ball processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the count sensor SE3 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

Next, the jackpot process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a executes a jackpot process after displaying a fixed stop display of the jackpot symbol in a special game, and causes a jackpot game. In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 40a specifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the end of the big hit special game, the main control CPU 40a starts the control to generate the specified big hit game. Therefore, the main control CPU 40a causes a big hit game by executing the big hit process. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot game occurs after the jackpot is won. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit is won, a big hit game is generated after the end of the special game.

In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. When the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a clocks the opening time. Further, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing the round game. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the large winning opening 14 is opened according to the opening mode (opening pattern), and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the large winning opening 14 is closed when the first open game end condition or the second open game end condition is satisfied. End the round game. The main control CPU 40a repeats the process for executing the round game until the maximum number of round games specified in the jackpot game is completed. The main control CPU 40a stores the round command in the output buffer each time the round game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer when the final round game is completed. When the main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a clocks the ending time. Then, when the ending time elapses, the main control CPU 40a ends the jackpot process.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
After the end of the first big hit game and after the end of the second big hit game, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to a high probability state in the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. To do. When the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the high probability state in the probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high probability state command) that can identify the high probability state. Store in a buffer. Further, after the end of the third big hit game, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to a low probability state in the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the low probability state in the probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low probability state command) that can identify the low probability state. Store in a buffer.

After the jackpot game is completed, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the high base state in the base state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the high base state in the base state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high base state command) that can identify the high base state. Store in a buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the high base state, the upper limit number of times of the special game controlled to the high base state is set as the remaining number of times of the special game that gives the high base state. It is stored in the control RAM 40c. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a sets "100" as the upper limit number of times of the special game to be controlled to the high base state after the end of the second big hit game and after the end of the third big hit game.

Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the remaining number of times of the special game that gives the high base state each time the special game is executed. When the remaining number of times of the special game that gives the high base state becomes 0, the main control CPU 40a controls the base state flag to the low base state with the end of the special game in which the remaining number of times becomes 0. Set a value that can be specified. When the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control to the low base state in the base state flag, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low base state command) that can identify the low base state. Store in a buffer. By the way, when the big hit game occurs, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to control the low probability state in the probability state flag and a value that can be specified to control the low base state in the base state flag. To do.

Next, a normal symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has passed (entered) the gate 18 based on whether or not the detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 18, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 18, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). When the normal hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. When the normal hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c and updates it. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated normal hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a normal hold number command) capable of specifying the updated normal hold number in the output buffer. Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for a normal game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. For example, the random numbers are random numbers used for the ordinary winning lottery (ordinary winning lottery random numbers), random numbers used for determining the ordinary symbol (ordinary symbol lottery random numbers), and random numbers used for determining the fluctuation pattern related to the ordinary game (ordinary variation). Random numbers for pattern lottery) and so on. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when it is not in a normal hit game and is not in a normal game, while it makes a negative determination when it is in a normal hit game or in a normal game. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. If the normal number of holds is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal hold number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the normal hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated normal hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a normal hold number command capable of specifying the updated normal hold number.

Next, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c among the random number information for the normal game. When the main control CPU 40a reads out the earliest random number information, the first random number information is erased from the main control RAM 40c. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the normal hit based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a normal hit lottery (normal hit determination) as to whether or not it is a normal hit. For example, the main control CPU 40a may perform a normal hit lottery so that the probability of winning a normal hit is higher in the high base state than in the low base state. When winning a normal hit, the main control CPU 40a determines a normal hit symbol (normal symbol) to be derived in the normal game and a variation pattern related to the normal game. In addition, determining the normal hit symbol by lottery corresponds to the lottery of the normal hit type. Further, in the case of non-winning in the normal game, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal out-of-order symbol (normal symbol) to be derived in the normal game and the variation pattern related to the normal game. The main control CPU 40a may determine the fluctuation pattern related to the normal symbol or the normal game by lottery using the read random number information. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the normal symbol based on the value of the normal symbol lottery random number, and determine the fluctuation pattern related to the normal game based on the value of the normal fluctuation pattern lottery random number. For example, the main control CPU 40a may determine the fluctuation pattern related to the normal game in the high base state so that the fluctuation time of the normal game is shorter than that in the low base state.

Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the normal game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern related to the normal game determined in the normal symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 40a provides information so that when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern related to the normal game determined in the normal symbol start processing elapses, the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start processing is fixedly stopped and displayed. Controls the display panel 22. Further, the main control CPU 40a indicates control information for instructing the end of the normal game (hereinafter, referred to as a normal end designation command) when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern related to the normal game determined in the normal symbol start processing elapses. ) Is generated and stored in the output buffer.

In the normal hit processing, the main control CPU 40a starts the control for causing the normal hit game depending on whether it is in the high base state or the low base state. The main control CPU 40a generates a normal hit by performing a normal hit process. In this way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the normal hit game occurs after the normal hit is won. It should be noted that causing a normal hit game is equivalent to giving a normal hit game. In the normal hit process, the main control CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 so that the second start port 13 is opened in the opening mode when the high base state is in the high base state. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 so that the second start port 13 is opened in the opening mode when the low base state is in the low base state.

In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines the variation pattern in which the lower command is "0EH" when the second jackpot variation pattern Hc24 is determined and the lower command is "0FH" when the second jackpot variation pattern Hc25 is determined. Generate each specified command.

In the following description, among the fluctuation pattern specification commands stored in the output buffer in the second special symbol start processing, the fluctuation pattern specification commands "4B01H" to "4B05H" for specifying the deviation variation pattern are referred to as "the second deviation variation pattern specification". Sometimes called "command". Further, among the variation pattern specification commands stored in the output buffer in the second special symbol start processing, the variation pattern specification commands "4B06H" to "4B0AH" for specifying the small hit variation pattern are used as the "second small hit variation pattern specification command". May be said. Further, among the variation pattern specification commands stored in the output buffer in the second special symbol start processing, the variation pattern specification commands "4B0BH" to "4B0FH" for specifying the jackpot variation pattern are referred to as "second jackpot variation pattern specification commands". In some cases. Further, in the following description, the second deviation pattern designation command, the second small hit fluctuation pattern designation command, and the second big hit fluctuation pattern designation command may be collectively referred to as a "second fluctuation pattern designation command".

As shown in FIGS. 4 (c) and 4 (d), the first fluctuation pattern designation command and the second fluctuation pattern designation command differ in the higher-level commands constituting the fluctuation pattern designation command. Therefore, it is possible to specify the execution of either the first special game or the second special game from the higher-level commands that constitute the variation pattern designation command. That is, it can be seen that the content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command includes the special game specific content. Further, the combination of the upper command and the lower command constituting the variation pattern specification command differs depending on the type of the variation pattern. Therefore, the variation pattern can be specified from the upper command and the lower command that constitute the variation pattern specification command. That is, the contents that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern specification command include the contents that can specify the type of the fluctuation pattern. As described above, the types of fluctuation patterns include a large hit fluctuation pattern, a small hit fluctuation pattern, and a missed fluctuation pattern. Therefore, by specifying the type of the fluctuation pattern, it is possible to specify whether it is a big hit, a small hit, or a miss, that is, the lottery result of the winning lottery. That is, the lottery result of the winning lottery can be specified from the variable pattern designation command. That is, it can be seen that the contents that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command include the lottery specific contents.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the execution of either the first special game or the second special game can be specified from the control information of either the symbol designation command or the variation pattern designation command. That is, it can be seen that the content that can be specified from the symbol designation command and the content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command commonly include the special game specific content. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the lottery result of the winning lottery can be specified from the control information of both the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command. That is, it can be seen that the content that can be specified from the symbol designation command and the content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command commonly include the lottery specific content.

The type of special symbol can be specified from the symbol specification command, while the type of special symbol cannot be specified from the variable pattern specification command. For example, when a variation pattern that is determined only when a specific special symbol is determined is provided, it is indirectly specified that the specific special symbol is determined by specifying the variation pattern. However, it is not possible to directly specify the type of special symbol from the variation pattern specification command. Further, while the variation pattern type can be specified from the variation pattern specification command, the variation pattern type cannot be specified from the symbol specification command. In addition, for example, when it is configured so that a specific variation pattern is determined when a specific special symbol is determined, the specific variation pattern is determined to specify the specific special symbol. Can be indirectly specified, but the type of fluctuation pattern cannot be directly specified from the symbol specification command.

As described above, the type of the special symbol is the content that can be specified from the symbol designation command among the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command. On the other hand, the type of the fluctuation pattern is the content that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command among the symbol designation command and the fluctuation pattern designation command. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern designation command corresponds to the first control information, and the symbol designation command corresponds to the second control information. Further, the variation pattern designation command in this embodiment corresponds to specific control information. Then, in the present embodiment, the special game specific content and the lottery specific content are contents that can be commonly specified from the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command, and are common to the first control information and the second control information. Corresponds to identifiable common content. As described above, in the present embodiment, the execution of either the first special symbol variation game or the second special symbol variation game can be specified as the common content that can be identified from the first control information and the second control information. Contents (special game specific contents) and contents that can specify the lottery result of the winning lottery (lottery specific contents) are included. In the following description, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command means the special game specific content and the lottery specific content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command. Similarly, in the following description, the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command means the special game specific content and the lottery specific content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command. Further, in the present embodiment, the "special symbol type and identifiable content" and the "variation pattern type identifiable content" are contents that can be specified from either the variation pattern designation command or the symbol designation command. Therefore, it corresponds to a non-common content that can be specified from either the first control information or the second control information.

Next, the end designation command in this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4E, when the special game ends, the main control CPU 40a generates an end designation command in which the higher-level command is "A0H". Specifically, when the first special game ends, the main control CPU 40a generates an end designation command in which the upper command is "A0H" and the lower command is "01H". On the other hand, when the second special game ends, the main control CPU 40a generates an end designation command in which the upper command is "A0H" and the lower command is "02H". In the following description, the end specification command "A001H" generated when the first special game ends is referred to as the first end specification command, and the end specification command "A002H" generated when the second special game ends. May be called the second end specification command.

The first end specification command and the second end specification command differ in the lower-level commands that compose the end specification command. Therefore, the execution of either the first special game or the second special game can be specified from the lower command that constitutes the end designation command. That is, it can be seen that the content that can be specified from the end specification command includes the special game specific content. As described above, in the pachinko game machine 10, the execution of either the first special game or the second special game can be specified from the end designation command as well as the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command. .. That is, it can be seen that the contents that can be specified from the end designation command include the special game specific contents in common with the contents that can be specified from the symbol designation command and the contents that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command. As described above, the end designation command corresponding to the third control information in the present embodiment includes at least a part of the common contents.

Further, among the control information generated by the pachinko gaming machine 10, the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command are generated when the special game starts. Therefore, in the present embodiment, at least one of the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command corresponds to the start-time control information generated when the special symbol variation game starts. Further, among the control information generated in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the end designation command is generated when the special game ends. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the end designation command corresponds to the end time control information generated when the special symbol variation game ends. Further, in the present embodiment, the end designation command corresponds to non-specific control information. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a generates the control information, so that the function as the control information generation means is realized.

When the symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information based on the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol designation command (hereinafter, referred to as sub-special symbol information) in the sub-control RAM 41c. The secondary special symbol information may be the input symbol designation command itself, or may be information obtained by processing the symbol designation command by a predetermined method. Further, when the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information based on the variation pattern that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command (hereinafter, referred to as secondary variation pattern information) in the sub-control RAM 41c. The secondary fluctuation pattern information may be the input fluctuation pattern designation command itself, or may be information obtained by processing the fluctuation pattern designation command by a predetermined method.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the symbol designation command is input to the sub-control CPU 41a, the variation pattern designation command is input. Then, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a matching determination. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a matching determination when a variation pattern designation command is input without inputting a symbol designation command. The case where the variation pattern specification command is input without inputting the symbol specification command corresponds to the case where the symbol specification command is missing from the symbol specification command and the variation pattern specification command. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a matching determination when the variation pattern designation command is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the symbol designation command is input. The case where the variation pattern specification command is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the symbol specification command is input corresponds to the case where the variation pattern specification command is missing from the symbol specification command and the variation pattern specification command.

In the matching determination, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command match. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the special game specific content specified by the variation pattern designation command and the special game specific content specified by the symbol designation command match. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the lottery specific content specified by the variation pattern designation command and the lottery specific content specified by the symbol designation command match. The matching determination in the present embodiment corresponds to a matching determination as to whether or not the common content that can be specified from the first control information matches the common content that can be specified from the second control information. Further, since the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command are generated at the start of the special game, it can be seen that the matching determination corresponding to the match determination is performed at the start of the special symbol variation game. ..

The determination result of the matching determination includes a determination result determined to be "normal" and a determination result determined to be "abnormal". In the present embodiment, when the special game specific content specified by the variable pattern designation command and the special game specific content specified by the symbol designation command do not match, the lottery specific content specified by the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command is used. Regardless, the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal". Further, in the present embodiment, when the lottery specific content specified by the variable pattern designation command and the lottery specific content specified by the symbol designation command do not match, the special game specific content specified by the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command Regardless of, the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal". Then, in the present embodiment, when the special game specific contents specified from the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command match, and the lottery specific contents specified from the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command match, they are matched. The judgment result of the judgment is "normal". Further, in the present embodiment, when one of the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command is missing, the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal". Incidentally, in the present embodiment, when both the symbol designation command and the variation pattern designation command are not input, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the matching determination, so that the matching determination determination result itself is not derived.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the determination result of the matching determination is "normal", the first missed variation pattern designation command and the first missed symbol designation command are input, and the first small hit variation pattern designation command is input. And the case where the first small hit symbol specification command is input. Further, in the present embodiment, when the determination result of the matching determination is "normal", the case where the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command and the first jackpot symbol designation command are input, and the case where the second jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command is input. There are cases where the second out-of-order symbol specification command is input. Further, in the present embodiment, when the determination result of the matching determination is "normal", the case where the second small hit variation pattern specification command and the second small hit symbol specification command are input, and the case where the second big hit variation pattern is specified. There are cases where a command and a second jackpot symbol specification command are input.

When the matching determination is performed, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information (hereinafter, referred to as matching determination result information) capable of specifying the determination result of the matching determination in the sub-control RAM 41c. As described above, since the matching determination is performed when the special game starts, the matching determination result information corresponds to the information stored when the special game starts. Then, the matching determination result information in the present embodiment corresponds to the determination information capable of specifying the determination result of the match determination performed with the start of the special symbol variation game.

Further, when the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information that can identify the special game being executed (hereinafter, referred to as game execution information) in the sub-control RAM 41c. Specifically, when the first variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores in the sub-control RAM 41c the game execution information that can identify that the first special game is being executed. On the other hand, when the second variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a stores the game execution information that can identify that the second special game is being executed in the sub-control RAM 41c. As described above, it can be seen that the content that can be specified from the game execution information includes the special game specific content. Further, since the game execution information is information stored based on the fluctuation pattern specification command, the special game specific content that can be specified from the game execution information is special that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern specification command (specific control information). It can be said that the content is specific to the game.

Here, the processing related to the execution of the production game will be described.
First, the process related to the execution of the production game when the determination result of the matching determination is "normal" will be described. Note that the processing performed when the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" is not intended only for the processing performed on the premise that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal", and the judgment of the matching judgment is performed. It is intended to include processing performed in a situation where the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" as a combination of the fluctuation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command regardless of the result. Therefore, in the present specification, "when the judgment result of the matching judgment is" normal "" is not limited to the case where the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal", and the input control information is the judgment of the matching judgment. It refers to the case where the result is "normal".

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the determination result of the matching determination is “normal”, the effect game is executed. Based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the symbol combination according to the effect symbol that is finally fixedly stopped and displayed in the effect game. Specifically, when the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol designation command is the jackpot symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the jackpot symbol combination. When the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol designation command is the small hit symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the combination of the small hit symbols. When the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol designation command is an outlier symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the outlier symbol combination. When the sub-control CPU 41a performs the reach effect by satisfying the reach condition, it is preferable that the sub-control CPU 41a determines the combination of outliers including the reach. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied when the variation pattern with the outlier reach is specified among the outlier variation patterns.

When the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to display the effect symbol in a variable manner. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the execution of the effect game. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed at a predetermined timing. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to confirm and stop displaying the symbol combination by the effect symbol when the end designation command is input. Incidentally, when executing the reach effect, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the effect display device 11 to temporarily stop and display the effect symbols in the left and right columns so that the reach is formed at a predetermined timing during the special game. Control. Further, when executing the super reach effect as the reach effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the normal reach effect is executed after the reach is formed and then the super reach effect is executed.

Next, the process related to the execution of the production game when the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal" will be described. Note that the processing performed when the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal" is not intended only for the processing performed on the premise that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal", and the judgment of the matching judgment is performed. Regardless of the result, it is intended to include processing performed in a situation where the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal" as a combination of the fluctuation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. Therefore, in the present specification, "when the judgment result of the matching judgment is" abnormal "" is not limited to the case where the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal", and the input control information is the judgment of the matching judgment. It refers to the case where the result is "abnormal".

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, when the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the production game may be executed or the production game may not be executed. Specifically, when the variation pattern designation command is input, the production game is executed even if the symbol designation command is not input. On the other hand, when the variation pattern designation command is not input, the effect game is not executed even when the symbol designation command is input (indicated as "non-execution" in FIGS. 5 to 7). As described above, when the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the effect game is executed if the variation pattern specification command is input, but the effect game is not executed if the variation pattern specification command is missing.

When the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal" and the variation pattern specification command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a is disengaged as a symbol combination by the effect symbol that is finally displayed as a fixed stop in the effect game. Determine the symbol combination of. At this time, even if the fluctuation pattern that can be specified from the input fluctuation pattern designation command is the jackpot fluctuation pattern or the special symbol that can be specified from the input symbol designation command is the jackpot symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a produces the effect. In the game, the out-of-order symbol combination is determined as the symbol combination based on the effect symbol to be finally confirmed and stopped.

Further, even when the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", when the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to display the effect symbol in a variable manner. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the execution of the effect game. After that, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to confirm and stop displaying the symbol combination by the effect symbol when the end designation command is input. Incidentally, even when a variation pattern that can specify that the reach effect is to be executed is specified in the input variation pattern specification command, if the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the sub-control CPU 41a reaches. Do not let the production be executed.

Next, the process related to the execution of the specific game will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a determines the display mode of the specific game based on the determination result of the matching determination. Specifically, when the first variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the display mode of the first specific game (display mode of the first specific symbol display unit 33a). On the other hand, when the second variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the display mode of the second specific game (display mode of the second specific symbol display unit 33b).

The display mode of the specific game includes a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. The normal display mode in the present embodiment is a display mode in which the light emitters constituting the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b blink at a low speed (normal speed). The high-speed display mode in the present embodiment is a display mode in which the light emitters constituting the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b blink at high speed. The non-change display mode in the present embodiment is a display mode that does not change the light emission mode of the light emitters constituting the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the determination result of the matching determination is "normal", the sub-control CPU 41a determines the normal display mode as the display mode of the specific game. For example, when the first deviation variation pattern designation command is input and the first deviation symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the normal display mode as the display mode of the first specific game. Further, for example, when the second jackpot variation pattern designation command is input and the second jackpot symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the normal display mode as the display mode of the second specific game.

When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, and the non-matching relationship is the first relationship, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the specific game. The high-speed display mode is determined as the mode. Specifically, while the special game specific contents specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command match, the lottery specific contents specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command do not match, and the matching judgment is determined. When the result is "abnormal", the sub-control CPU 41a determines the high-speed display mode as the display mode of the specific game. For example, when the first out-of-order variation pattern designation command is input and the first small hit symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the high-speed display mode as the display mode of the first specific game. Further, for example, when the second jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command is input and the second missed symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the high-speed display mode as the display mode of the second specific game. As described above, the first relationship in the present embodiment is that the special game specific contents match but the lottery specific contents do not match in the fluctuation pattern designation command as the first control information and the symbol designation command as the second control information. Is.

When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, and the non-matching relationship is the second relationship, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the specific game. The non-change display mode is determined as the mode. Specifically, when the special game specific contents specified from the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command do not match and the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the sub-control CPU 41a is not displayed as the display mode of the specific game. Determine the change display mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the specific game regardless of whether the lottery specific contents specified from the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command match or do not match. To do. For example, when the first deviation variation pattern designation command is input and the second deviation symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the first specific game. Further, for example, when the second small hit variation pattern designation command is input and the first jackpot symbol designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the second specific game. To do. As described above, in the second relationship in the present embodiment, at least the special game specific content among the special game specific content and the lottery specific content is included in the variation pattern designation command as the first control information and the symbol designation command as the second control information. It is a disagreement.

The second relationship includes a relationship in which only the special game specific content does not match among the special game specific content and the lottery specific content (specific relationship), and a relationship in which both the special game specific content and the lottery specific content do not match (non-specific). Relationship) and. In the present embodiment, when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, and the non-matching relationship is the second relationship, the second relationship Above all, the display mode of the specific game is the same when the relationship is specific and when the relationship is non-specific.

When the symbol designation command among the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command is missing, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the specific game. That is, when the symbol designation command among the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command is missing and the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the specific game. .. For example, when the first jackpot variation pattern designation command is input but the symbol designation command is not input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the first specific game. Further, for example, when the second small hit variation pattern designation command is input but the symbol designation command is not input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the non-change display mode as the display mode of the second specific game.

When the variation pattern designation command is not input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the display mode of the first specific game and the display mode of the second specific game based on the determination result of the matching determination. That is, when the variation pattern designation command among the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command is missing, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the display mode of the first specific game and the display mode of the second specific game.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, when the variation pattern specification command among the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command is missing and the determination result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the sub-control CPU 41a of the specific game The non-change display mode is determined as the display mode.

As described above, it is specified in both the case where the symbol specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command and the case where the variation pattern specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. The display mode of the game is a non-change display mode. That is, in the present embodiment, the specific game depends on whether the symbol specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command and the variation pattern specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. The display mode is the same.

When the display mode of the first specific game is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the first specific symbol display unit 33a and controls the first specific game in the determined display mode. Specifically, when the normal display mode is determined as the display mode of the first specific game, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the first specific symbol so that the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a blinks at a low speed. The unit 33a is controlled. Further, when the high-speed display mode is determined as the display mode of the first specific game, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the first specific symbol display unit 33a so that the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a blinks at high speed. To control. Further, when the non-change display mode is determined as the display mode of the first specific game, the sub-control CPU 41a does not change the lighting or extinguishing mode of the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a. Therefore, if the illuminant constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is lit, the illuminant continues to illuminate, and if the illuminant constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is extinguished, the illuminant is lit. Keeps off.

Similarly, when the display mode of the second specific game is determined, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the second specific symbol display unit 33b and controls the second specific game in the determined display mode. Specifically, when the normal display mode is determined as the display mode of the second specific game, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the second specific symbol so that the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b blinks at a low speed. The unit 33b is controlled. Further, when the high-speed display mode is determined as the display mode of the second specific game, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the second specific symbol display unit 33b so that the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b blinks at high speed. To control. Further, when the non-change display mode is determined as the display mode of the second specific game, the sub-control CPU 41a does not change the lighting or extinguishing mode of the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b. Therefore, if the illuminant constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b is lit, the illuminant continues to illuminate, and if the illuminant constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b is extinguished, the illuminant is lit. Keeps off. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b to realize a function as a specific game control means for controlling the specific game execution unit.

Based on the end designation command, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game are determined and controlled. In the present embodiment, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game mainly mean the specific symbols to be fixedly stopped and displayed, but the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are It is intended to include the display content of the display unit when it does not change.

When the end designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a makes a stop determination. In the present embodiment, the stop time determination is performed based on the combination of a plurality of pieces of information. The plurality of information includes information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c and an end designation command. The information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c referred to here is information based on the control information generated when the special symbol variation game is started, such as the variation pattern designation command and the symbol designation command, and is the present implementation. It is "matching determination result information and game execution information" corresponding to specific information in the form. Then, in the stop determination, it is determined whether the combination of the end designation command and the specific information "game execution information, matching determination result information" based on the start control information is a normal combination or an abnormal combination. To. In the present embodiment, the sub-control RAM 41c stores specific information, so that the function as an information storage means is realized.

As shown in FIG. 11, the determination result at the time of stop includes a determination result determined to be "normal" and a determination result determined to be "abnormal". In the present embodiment, the case where the determination result of the stop time determination is "normal" corresponds to the determination that the combination of the end designation command, the game execution information, and the matching determination result information is a normal combination. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the case where the determination result at the time of stop is "abnormal" corresponds to the determination that the combination of the end designation command, the game execution information, and the matching determination result information is an abnormal combination. To do.

In the present embodiment, when it is possible to identify that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal" from the matching judgment result information, the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end designation command. Regardless of whether they match or do not match, the determination result of the stop determination is "abnormal". As described above, the abnormal combination of the end designation command and the specific information is, for example, the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end designation command. There is a combination that can identify that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal" from the matching judgment information. In the present embodiment, although the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end designation command match, the judgment result of the consistency judgment is "abnormal" from the consistency judgment information. The identifiable combination corresponds to the first abnormal combination. Further, in the present embodiment, although the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end designation command match, the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal" from the matching judgment information. The combination that can be specified corresponds to a special abnormal combination.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" from the matching judgment result information, the special game specified from the game execution information and the special game specified from the end designation command If the specific contents do not match, the judgment result of the stop time judgment is "abnormal". As described above, among the combinations of the end designation command and the specific information, the abnormal combination includes, for example, a combination in which the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end designation command do not match. is there. In the present embodiment, the combination in which the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end designation command do not match corresponds to the second abnormal combination. For combinations in which the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end specification command do not match, the end specification command including the content that can specify the second special game and the first end specification command There is a combination with game execution information including contents that can identify a special game. In addition, for combinations in which the special game specific content specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content specified from the end specification command do not match, the end specification command including the content that can specify the first special game and the second end specification command are included. There is a combination with game execution information including contents that can identify a special game. In the present embodiment, the combination of the end designation command including the content that can specify the second special game and the game execution information including the content that can specify the first special game corresponds to the specific abnormal combination. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the combination of the end designation command including the content that can specify the first special game and the game execution information including the content that can specify the second special game corresponds to the non-specific abnormal combination. ..

Then, in the present embodiment, it is possible to identify that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" from the matching judgment result information, and it is specified from the running special game and the end designation command that can be specified from the game execution information. If the running special games that can be played match, the judgment result of the stop time judgment is "normal". In the present embodiment, when the determination result of the stop time determination is "normal", the matching determination result information that can identify that the determination result of the matching determination is "normal" is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. In addition, it may be possible to identify that the first special game is being executed from both the game execution information and the end designation command. Further, in the present embodiment, when the determination result of the stop determination is "normal", the matching determination result information capable of identifying that the determination result of the matching determination is "normal" is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. In addition, it may be possible to identify that the second special game is being executed from both the game execution information and the end designation command.

Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b based on the combination of the information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c and the end designation command. For example, when the special game specific content that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content that can be specified from the end designation command match, the sub-control CPU 41a has the specific symbol of one of the first specific symbol and the second specific symbol. Is displayed as a fixed stop, and the other specific symbol is not changed (in FIG. 11, it is shown as "no change"). Specifically, when the first special game is specified from both the game execution information and the end designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the first specific symbol display unit 33a to display the first specific symbol in a fixed stop display. When the second special game is specified from both the game execution information and the end designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the second specific symbol display unit 33b to display the first specific symbol in a fixed stop display. On the other hand, when the special game specific content that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game specific content that can be specified from the end designation command do not match, the sub-control CPU 41a sets both the specific symbols of the first specific symbol and the second specific symbol. Confirm stop display.

Hereinafter, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, it can be specified that the first special game is being executed from the game execution information, it can be specified that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" from the matching judgment result information, and the first end designation is specified. When a command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the first specific symbol display unit 33a so that the specific symbol of the specified type is fixedly stopped and displayed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the hit specific symbol when the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol can be specified from the symbol designation command, and the missed specific symbol when the off symbol can be specified from the symbol designation command. As such, the first specific symbol display unit 33a is controlled. At this time, the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change. In the present specification, the confirmation stop display of the specific symbol corresponding to the special symbol that can be specified from the symbol designation command corresponds to the confirmation stop display of the specific symbol of the designated type. Similarly, it can be specified that the second special game is being executed from the game execution information, it can be specified that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" from the matching judgment result information, and the second end specification command is input. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the second specific symbol display unit 33b so that the specific symbol of the designated type is fixedly stopped and displayed. At this time, the display content of the first specific symbol display unit 33a does not change.

In addition, when it is possible to identify that the first special game is being executed from the game execution information, it is possible to identify that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal" from the matching judgment result information, and the first end designation command is input. , The sub-control CPU 41a controls the first specific symbol display unit 33a so that the out-of-order specific symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. At this time, the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change. Similarly, it was possible to identify that the second special game was being executed from the game execution information, it was possible to identify that the judgment result of the consistency judgment was "abnormal" from the consistency judgment result information, and the second end specification command was input. In this case, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the second specific symbol display unit 33b so that the out-of-order specific symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. At this time, the display content of the first specific symbol display unit 33a does not change. In the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is the first abnormal combination, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b correspond to "a special game specified from the game execution information and the end designation command". The specific symbol that is out of alignment is fixedly stopped and displayed on the specific symbol display unit, and the specific symbol of the other specific symbol display unit does not change. " That is, in the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a special abnormal combination, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are "a special game specified from the game execution information and the end designation command." The specific symbol that is out of alignment is fixedly stopped and displayed on the corresponding specific symbol display unit, and the specific symbol of the other specific symbol display unit does not change. "

In addition, the fact that the specific symbol that is out of alignment is fixedly stopped and displayed on the specific symbol display unit indicates that the display content of the specific symbol display unit as the specific game display unit did not win in the winning lottery. Is equivalent to On the other hand, the fact that the specific symbol of the hit is fixedly stopped and displayed on the specific symbol display unit means that the display content of the specific symbol display unit as the specific game display unit is the display content indicating that the winning lottery has been won. Corresponds to that.

In addition, it can be specified from the game execution information that the first special game is being executed, and when the second end designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a first displays the specified symbol that is out of alignment as a fixed stop. Both the specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b are controlled. At this time, regardless of whether the determination result of the matching determination that can be specified from the matching determination result information is "normal" or "abnormal", either of the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b The specific symbol that is out of alignment is displayed as a fixed stop. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is the specific abnormal combination, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are "the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol". The display content is such that the specific symbol that is out of alignment is fixedly stopped and displayed on any of the display units 33b.

Similarly, it can be identified from the game execution information that the second special game is being executed, and when the first end designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a has the second special symbol displayed as a definite stop display. Both the 1 specific symbol display unit 33a and the 2nd specific symbol display unit 33b are controlled. At this time, regardless of whether the determination result of the matching determination that can be specified from the matching determination result information is "normal" or "abnormal", either of the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b The specific symbol that is out of alignment is displayed as a fixed stop. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a non-specific abnormal combination, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are "first specific symbol display units 33a and second specific". The display content is such that a specific symbol that is out of alignment is fixedly stopped and displayed on any of the symbol display units 33b. " That is, in the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a specific abnormality combination and a non-specific abnormality combination, the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game) at the end of the special game It can be seen that the display contents of the execution unit) are the same.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is the second abnormal combination, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are "the first specific symbol display units 33a and the second. The display content is such that the specific symbol that is out of alignment is fixedly stopped and displayed on any of the specific symbol display units 33b. " That is, in the present embodiment, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is the first abnormal combination, the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game execution) when the combination is the second abnormal combination and at the end of the special game. The displayed contents of part) are different.

Incidentally, when the game execution information is not stored, the sub-control CPU 41a controls both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b so that the out-of-order specific symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. .. At this time, regardless of whether the first end designation command or the second end designation command is input, the out-of-order specific symbol is confirmed in both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b. Stop is displayed. By the way, since the game execution information is not stored when the variation pattern specification command is missing, the matching judgment result information that can identify that the matching judgment result is "normal" is sub-controlled. It is never stored in the RAM 41c.

Next, the process related to the first specific hold display unit 33c and the process related to the second specific hold display unit 33d performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
When the first hold number command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the first specific hold display unit 33c so that the display content indicates the first special hold number that can be specified from the first hold number command. Similarly, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the second hold number command, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the second specific hold display unit 33d so that the display content indicates the second special hold number that can be specified from the second hold number command. Control.

Next, the process related to the normal auxiliary symbol display unit 33e and the process related to the normal auxiliary hold display unit 33f performed by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described.
When the normal variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the normal auxiliary symbol display unit 33e so that the normal auxiliary game is executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the normal auxiliary symbol display unit 33e so that the light emitters constituting the normal auxiliary symbol display unit 33e emit light in a predetermined variable display mode and the execution of the normal auxiliary game is started. .. Further, when the hold end designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the normal auxiliary symbol display unit 33e so that the normal auxiliary symbol based on the normal symbol designated by the normal symbol designation command is fixedly stopped and displayed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a normally has a normal auxiliary symbol when the normal hit symbol can be specified from the normal symbol designation command, and a normal missed symbol when the normal symbol can be specified from the normal symbol designation command. The normal auxiliary symbol display unit 33e is controlled so that the auxiliary symbol is displayed as a fixed stop. Further, when the normal hold number command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the normal auxiliary hold display unit 33f so that the display content indicates the normal hold number that can be specified from the normal hold number command.

Here, the relationship between the fluctuation pattern and the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game will be described with reference to FIG.
The display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when any of the first fluctuation patterns Ha11 to Ha15 is determined includes a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. Further, as in the case where any of the first out-of-order fluctuation patterns Ha11 to Ha15 is determined, the specific game when any of the first small hit fluctuation patterns Hb11 to Hb15 is determined. The display modes that can be the display modes include a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. Further, as in the case where any of the first out-of-order fluctuation patterns Ha11 to Ha15 is determined, the display of the specific game when any of the first jackpot fluctuation patterns Hc11 to Hc15 is determined. The display modes that can be modes include a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. In this way, even when any of the fluctuation patterns Ha11 to Ha15, Hb11 to Hb15, and Hc11 to Hc15 classified into the first special symbol fluctuation pattern is determined, the display mode of the specific game can be obtained. It is common that the display modes include a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. Therefore, when any of the fluctuation patterns classified into the first special symbol fluctuation pattern is used as the first fluctuation pattern and the other fluctuation pattern is used as the second fluctuation pattern, when the first fluctuation pattern is determined. The display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game is the same as the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined. Then, in the present embodiment, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first variation pattern is determined and the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined are: There are multiple of each.

Similarly, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when any of the second fluctuation patterns Ha21 to Ha25 is determined includes a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. Further, as in the case where any of the second deviation fluctuation patterns Ha21 to Ha25 is determined, the specific game when any of the second small hit fluctuation patterns Hb21 to Hb25 is determined. The display modes that can be the display modes include a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. Further, the display of the specific game when any of the second jackpot fluctuation patterns Hc21 to Hc25 is determined, as in the case where any of the second deviation fluctuation patterns Ha21 to Ha25 is determined. The display modes that can be modes include a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. In this way, even when any of the fluctuation patterns Ha21 to Ha25, Hb21 to Hb25, and Hc21 to Hc25 classified into the second special symbol fluctuation pattern is determined, the display mode of the specific game can be obtained. It is common that the display modes include a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode. Therefore, when any of the fluctuation patterns classified into the second special symbol fluctuation pattern is used as the first fluctuation pattern and the other fluctuation pattern is used as the second fluctuation pattern, when the first fluctuation pattern is determined. The display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game is the same as the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined. Then, in the present embodiment, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first variation pattern is determined and the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined are: There are multiple of each.

As described above, even if any of the fluctuation patterns Ha11 to Ha15, Ha21 to Ha25, Hb11 to Hb15, Hb21 to Hb25, Hc11 to Hc15, and Hc21 to Hc25 are determined, the specific game It is common that there are a normal display mode, a high-speed display mode, and a non-change display mode as the display mode that can be the display mode of. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when any one of the plurality of fluctuation patterns is set as the first fluctuation pattern and the other fluctuation pattern is set as the second fluctuation pattern, the specific game when the first fluctuation pattern is determined. The display mode that can be the display mode of the above is common to the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined. Then, in the present embodiment, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first variation pattern is determined and the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined are: There are multiple of each.

Here, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, before the start of the special game, it is assumed that both the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b are turned off. .. At this time, when the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command and the first jackpot symbol designation command are input, the judgment result of the matching judgment performed by the sub-control CPU 41a is "normal", and the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal". The matching determination result information that can identify this is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, based on the input of the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command, the game execution information that can identify the first special game is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, by inputting the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command and the first jackpot symbol designation command, the display mode of the first specific game becomes the normal display mode, and the illuminant constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is at low speed. Flashes (slow flashes). At this time, the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains extinguished as in the case before the start of the special game. After that, when the first end designation command is input, the hit specific symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed on the first specific symbol display unit 33a, and the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a lights up. At this time, the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change, and the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains extinguished as in the case before the start of the special game.

As shown in FIG. 14A, before the start of the special game, the light emitters constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a are turned off, and the light emitting bodies constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b are turned on. It is assumed that At this time, it is assumed that the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command and the first missed symbol designation command are input. At this time, although the special game specific contents specified from the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command match, the lottery specific contents do not match, so that the judgment result of the matching judgment performed by the sub-control CPU 41a becomes "abnormal" and is matched. The matching determination result information that can identify that the determination result of the determination is "abnormal" is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, based on the input of the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command, the game execution information that can identify the first special game is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, by inputting the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command and the first missed symbol designation command, the display mode of the first specific game becomes a high-speed display mode, and the illuminant constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is at high speed. Flashes (fast flashes). At this time, the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains lit as in the case before the start of the special game. After that, it is assumed that the second end designation command is input. In this case, since the special game specific content specified from the end designation command and the special game specific content specified from the game execution information do not match, both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b are displaced. The specific symbol of is displayed as a fixed stop. As a result, both the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b are turned off.

As shown in FIG. 14B, before the start of the special game, the illuminant constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is turned off, and the illuminant constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b is lit. It is assumed that At this time, it is assumed that the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command and the second jackpot symbol designation command are input. At this time, although the lottery specific contents specified by the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command match, the special game specific contents do not match, so that the judgment result of the matching judgment performed by the sub-control CPU 41a becomes "abnormal" and is matched. The matching determination result information that can identify that the determination result of the determination is "abnormal" is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, based on the input of the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command, the game execution information that can identify the first special game is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, by inputting the first jackpot variation pattern designation command and the second jackpot symbol designation command, the display mode of the first specific game becomes a non-change display mode, and the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a emits light. The mode does not change and remains off. At this time, the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains lit as in the case before the start of the special game. After that, it is assumed that the first end designation command is input. In this case, since the special game specific content specified from the end designation command and the special game specific content specified from the game execution information match, the specific symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first specific symbol display unit 33a is controlled. On the other hand, the specific symbol of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change. Further, since the result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the missing specific symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed on the first specific symbol display unit 33a, and the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is turned off. .. On the other hand, since the special symbol of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change, the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains lit.

As shown in FIG. 14C, before the start of the special game, both the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b are turned off. It shall be. At this time, it is assumed that the first jackpot fluctuation pattern specification command is input, but the symbol specification command is missing. In this way, since the symbol specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command, the judgment result of the matching judgment performed by the sub-control CPU 41a is "abnormal", and the judgment result of the matching judgment is "abnormal". Matching determination result information that can identify the existence is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, based on the input of the first jackpot fluctuation pattern designation command, the game execution information that can identify the first special game is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. In addition, the symbol specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. The symbol specification command is missing from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command, so that the display mode of the first specific game becomes the non-change display mode. The light emitting mode of the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a does not change, and remains extinguished. At this time, the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains extinguished as in the case before the start of the special game. After that, it is assumed that the first end designation command is input. In this case, since the special game specific content specified from the end designation command and the special game specific content specified from the game execution information match, the specific symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first specific symbol display unit 33a is controlled. On the other hand, the specific symbol of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change. Further, since the result of the matching determination is "abnormal", the missing specific symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed on the first specific symbol display unit 33a, and the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a is turned off. .. On the other hand, since the special symbol of the second specific symbol display unit 33b does not change, the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b remains extinguished.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) match, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command And when the common contents that can be specified from the symbol designation command do not match, the display mode of the specific symbol variation game (specific game) is different. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to specify whether the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command match. Further, even if the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, when the non-matching relationship is the first relationship, it is the second relationship. And the display mode of the specific game is different. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific game, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command match under either the first relationship or the second relationship. It is possible to identify whether or not it is present. In this way, from the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to identify that the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, and the first relationship and the second relationship Since it is possible to identify under which of the relationships the common contents do not match, it is possible to suppress the discomfort given to the player.

(2) When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) do not match, the non-matching relationship is the first. In the case of two relationships, the display mode of the specific game (specific symbol variation game) is the same between the case of the specific relationship and the case of the non-specific relationship in the second relationship. In this way, when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match under the relationship of the second relationship, the specific relationship and the non-specific relationship in the second relationship In any case, by sharing the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to reduce the types of the display mode of the specific game. By reducing the types of display modes of the specific game, the number of light emitters constituting the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b can be reduced, and the cost of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b can be reduced. ..

(3) The first relationship is a relationship in which the special game specific contents match but the lottery specific contents do not match, and the second relationship is a relationship in which at least the special game specific contents do not match among the special game specific contents and the lottery specific contents. And said. That is, the display mode of the specific symbol variation game (specific game) is different depending on whether the types of the special game (special symbol variation game) do not match or the types of the special game match. As a result, the reason why the common contents that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command (first control information) and the symbol designation command (second control information) do not match from the display mode of the specific game is "type of special game". Since it is possible to specify "whether the commands do not match", it is possible to suppress the discomfort given to the player.

(4) Apart from the fluctuation pattern designation command (first control information) and the symbol designation command (second control information) generated when the special game starts, it is generated when the special game ends. The display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game execution unit) at the end of the special game are determined based on the end designation command (third control information). In this way, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are controlled again based on the end designation command generated when the special game (special symbol variation game) ends, so that the specific symbol display It is possible to suppress the difference between the situation that can be specified from the display contents of the parts 33a and 33b and the actual situation.

(5) When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) match, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command And when the common contents that can be specified from the symbol designation command do not match, the display mode of the specific symbol variation game (specific game) is different. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to specify whether the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command match. Furthermore, when the common content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, and when the non-matching relationship is a specific relationship and a non-specific relationship, the specific game The display mode is the same. In this way, when the common content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, the non-matching relationship can be either a specific relationship or a non-specific relationship. By standardizing the display modes, it is possible to reduce the types of display modes of the specific game. In this way, while reducing the types of display modes of the specific game, it is specified from the display mode of the specific game that the common contents that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the common contents that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match. It is possible to suppress the discomfort given to the player.

(6) The specific relationship is a relationship in which the special game specific contents do not match while the lottery specific contents match, and the non-specific relationship is a relationship in which neither the special game specific contents nor the lottery specific contents match. That is, if the special game specific contents do not match, the display mode of the specific game (specific symbol variation game) is the same regardless of whether the lottery specific contents match or do not match. By the way, even if the lottery specific contents match, if the special game specific contents are different, either the first special game or the second special game is executed as the special game that is the lottery result that can be specified from the lottery specific contents. I can't tell if it's happening. Therefore, if the special game specific contents do not match, the display mode of the specific game is the same regardless of whether the lottery specific contents match or do not match, so that the types of display modes of the specific game are reduced. At the same time, it is possible to suppress discomfort by making it possible to specify whether the first special game or the second special game is being executed.

(7) Even if the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the second control information do not match, the non-matching relationship is a specific relationship or non-specific. When it is a relationship, the display mode of the specific game (specific symbol variation game) is different from that when it is a special relationship. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific game, the common content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command are either "specific relationship or non-specific relationship" or "special relationship". It becomes possible to specify whether or not they do not match under, and discomfort can be suppressed.

(8) When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) match, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command And when the common contents that can be specified from the symbol designation command do not match, the display mode of the specific symbol variation game (specific game) is different. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to specify whether the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command match. Further, as a display mode that can be a display mode of the specific game when the first fluctuation pattern (for example, the first deviation fluctuation pattern Ha11) is determined, the second fluctuation pattern (for example, the first jackpot fluctuation pattern Hc11) is determined. It is common with the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game at that time. In this way, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first variation pattern is determined and the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined are standardized. Therefore, the types of display modes of the specific game can be reduced. In this way, while reducing the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to specify from the display mode of the specific game that the common content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match. It is possible to suppress the discomfort given to the player.

(9) A display mode that can be a display mode of a specific game (specific symbol fluctuation game) when the first fluctuation pattern (for example, the first deviation fluctuation pattern Ha11) is determined, and a second fluctuation pattern (for example, the first variation pattern). There are a plurality of display modes that can be the display modes of the specific game when the jackpot fluctuation pattern Hc11) is determined. Then, regardless of whether the first fluctuation pattern or the second fluctuation pattern is determined, if the common content that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command do not match, the match is made. When the non-relationship is the first relationship, the display mode of the specific game is different from that of the second relationship. Therefore, regardless of which of the first variation pattern and the second variation pattern is determined, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command depending on the display mode of the specific game. It is possible to specify under which of the first relationship and the second relationship the contents do not match, and it is possible to suppress discomfort.

(10) If the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) do not match, the non-matching relationship is the specific relationship. When there is a non-specific relationship with the time, the display mode of the specific game is the same regardless of which of the first variation pattern and the second variation pattern is determined. In this way, when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match, the non-matching relationship is either a specific relationship or a non-specific relationship, and Regardless of whether the determined fluctuation pattern is the first fluctuation pattern or the second fluctuation pattern, the display mode of the specific game is made common. In this way, by standardizing the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to reduce the types of display modes of the specific game.

(11) The combination of the end designation command (end control information) and the specific information (game execution information, matching judgment result information) based on the start control information (variation pattern designation command, symbol designation command) is a normal combination. In some cases, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are different from those in the abnormal combination and at the end of the special game. Therefore, depending on the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game, the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a normal combination, that is, the combination of the start control information and the end designation command is normal. It is possible to specify whether or not. Further, even if the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is an abnormal combination, the specific symbol display unit 33a at the end of the special game when the combination is the first abnormal combination and the second abnormal combination. , 33b have different display contents. Therefore, depending on the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game, it is possible to specify which of the first abnormal combination and the second abnormal combination is the combination of the end designation command and the specific information. It becomes possible to suppress discomfort. In this way, it is possible to identify whether the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a normal combination from the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game, and the first abnormal combination and the second abnormal combination. Since it is possible to identify which of the combinations is an abnormal combination, it is possible to suppress the discomfort given to the player.

(12) When the combination of the end designation command (end control information) and specific information (game execution information, matching judgment result information) is a specific abnormality combination, and when the combination of the end designation command and specific information is a non-specific abnormality combination. At one time and at the end of the special game, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game execution unit) are the same. In this way, by sharing the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game between the case of the specific abnormal combination and the case of the non-specific abnormal combination, the identification at the end of the special game is made. The types of display contents of the symbol display units 33a and 33b can be reduced. By reducing the types of display contents of the specific game, the number of light emitters constituting the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b can be reduced, and the cost of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b can be reduced. ..

(13) If the special game (special symbol variation game) that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game that can be specified from the end designation command (control information at the end) do not match, the first special game is actually performed. It is not possible to specify which of the second special game and the second special game is being executed. Therefore, if the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game execution unit) at the end of the special game are different, a sense of discomfort may be given, and as a result, a sense of discomfort may be given. Therefore, if the special game that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game that can be specified from the end designation command do not match, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special symbol variation game are displayed. By making them the same, it is possible to suppress the discomfort caused by giving a feeling of discomfort.

(14) The combination of the end designation command (end control information) and the specific information (game execution information, matching judgment result information) based on the start control information (variation pattern designation command, symbol designation command) is a normal combination. In some cases, the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are different from those in the abnormal combination and at the end of the special game. Therefore, depending on the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game execution unit) at the end of the special game, whether the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a normal combination, that is, the start control information and It is possible to specify whether the combination of end specification commands is normal. Further, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is an abnormal combination, the specific symbol display unit 33a at the end of the special game depends on whether the combination is a specific abnormal combination or a non-specific abnormal combination. The display contents of 33b are the same. In this way, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is an abnormal combination, the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game regardless of whether the combination is a specific abnormal combination or a non-specific abnormal combination. It becomes the common display content as the display content of. As a result, it is possible to reduce the types of display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game. In this way, while reducing the types of display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game, it is possible to specify at the end of the special game whether the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a normal combination. It can be specified from the display contents of the symbol display units 33a and 33b, and the discomfort given to the player can be suppressed.

(15) When the combination of the end designation command and the specific information based on the start control information (variation pattern designation command, symbol designation command) is an abnormal combination, or when it is a specific abnormality combination or a special abnormality combination, a special abnormality The display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are different between the combination and the end of the special game. Therefore, depending on the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game, the combination of the end designation command (end control information) and the specific information (game execution information, matching determination result information) is "specific abnormal combination". Alternatively, it is possible to specify which of the "non-specific abnormal combination" and the "special abnormal combination" is an abnormal combination.

(16) When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) match, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command And when the common contents that can be specified from the symbol designation command do not match, the display mode of the specific symbol variation game (specific game) is different. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific game, it is possible to specify whether the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command match. Further, when the combination of a plurality of information including the matching judgment result information (judgment information) and the end designation command (end control information) is a normal combination, the combination of the plurality of information including the matching judgment result information and the end designation command Is an abnormal combination, and the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b at the end of the special game are different. Therefore, depending on the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b (specific game execution unit) at the end of the special game, whether the combination of a plurality of information including the matching determination result information and the end control information is a normal combination. It becomes possible to identify and suppress the discomfort given to the player.

(17) Among the combinations of a plurality of information, the normal combination can specify the matching judgment result information (judgment information) that can specify that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal" and the first special game. There is a special combination including an end designation command (end control information) including contents and game execution information that can identify that the first special game is being executed. Then, in the case of a special combination, the display of the first specific symbol display unit 33a of the first specific symbol display unit 33a (first specific game execution unit) and the second specific symbol display unit 33b (second specific game execution unit). Only the content is controlled. Further, in the normal combination, the matching judgment result information that can specify that the judgment result of the matching judgment is "normal", the end specification command including the content that can specify the second special game, and the second special game There is a non-special combination that includes game execution information that can be identified as being executed. In the case of a non-special combination, only the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b of the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b is controlled. In this way, a special game that can be specified from the end specification command and the game execution information when it is determined that the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command match. When the types of are the same, only a predetermined specific symbol display unit is controlled among the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b. As a result, the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b is controlled when the first special game is being executed, or the display content of the first specific symbol display unit 33a is being executed when the second special game is being executed. It is possible to suppress the discomfort caused by controlling the.

On the other hand, if the special game that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game that can be specified from the end designation command do not match, the display contents of both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b are displayed. Be controlled. As a result, it is possible to identify that the special game that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game that can be specified from the end designation command do not match from the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b accompanying the end of the special game. , The discomfort given to the player can be suppressed. If the special game that can be specified from the game execution information and the special game that can be specified from the end specification command do not match, is either the first special game or the second special game actually executed? It can not be identified. Therefore, by controlling the display contents of both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b, it feels uncomfortable regardless of whether the first special game or the second special game is actually executed. It becomes difficult to give, and as a result, it is possible to suppress the discomfort.

(18) The first special game is specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command (specific control information), and the special game specific content that can be specified from the end designation command (non-specific control information) is the first. When one special game is specified, only the display content of the first specific symbol display unit 33a is controlled out of the two specific symbol display units 33a and 33b. Further, when the second special game is specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command, and the second special game is specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the end specification command, two identifications are made. Of the symbol display units 33a and 33b, only the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b is controlled. In this way, the type of special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the type of special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the end specification command match. In this case, only the display contents of the predetermined special symbol display unit among the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are controlled. As a result, the display content of the second specific symbol display unit 33b (second specific game execution unit) is controlled when the first special game is being executed, or when the second special game is being executed. It is possible to suppress control of the display content of the first specific symbol display unit 33a (first specific game execution unit).

On the other hand, when the type of the special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the type of the special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the end specification command do not match. Controls the display contents of both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b. As a result, from the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b accompanying the end of the special game, the type of the special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the type of the special game that can be specified from the end specification command can be specified. It is possible to identify that the type of special game specified from the special game specific content does not match, and it is possible to suppress discomfort. Also, when the type of special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command and the type of special game specified from the special game specific content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match. Cannot specify whether the first special game or the second special game is actually being executed. Therefore, by controlling the display contents of both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b, regardless of whether the first special game or the second special game is actually executed, It becomes difficult to give a feeling of discomfort, and as a result, it is possible to suppress giving a feeling of discomfort.

(19) Special game that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command (specific control information) and the end specification command (non-specific control information) If the types of special games specified from the specific content do not match, a winning lottery is won. Even if this is the case, the display contents of both the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are the display contents indicating that the winning was not won. It is expected that the player's interest will improve if he wins the hit, but if he does not win after making the player think that he has won the hit, it may cause discomfort. Highly sexual. Therefore, even if the winning lottery is won, both of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b are displayed to indicate that the winning lottery is not won, so that the winning is won. It is possible to suppress the player from thinking that he / she has won the prize even though he / she has not done so, and as a result, it is possible to suppress the discomfort.

(20) When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command (second control information) match, the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command The display mode of the specific game (specific symbol variation game) is different from that when at least one of them is missing. Therefore, depending on the display mode of the specific symbol variation game, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command match, or among the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. Since it is possible to identify whether at least one of them is missing, the discomfort given to the player can be suppressed.

(21) When the variation pattern specification command is missing among the variation pattern specification command (first control information) and the symbol specification command (second control information), and the symbol specification command among the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. The display mode of the specific game (specific symbol variation game) is the same as when is missing. In this way, by making the display mode of the specific game a common display mode regardless of whether the variation pattern specification command is missing or the symbol designation command is missing, the display mode of the specific game is set. The number of types can be reduced. Therefore, while reducing the types of display modes of the specific game, it is possible to specify from the display mode of the specific game that at least one of the variable pattern designation command and the symbol designation command is missing, which is not given to the player. Pleasure can be suppressed.

In addition, each embodiment may be changed as follows.
-It is not necessary to output the end designation command. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a measures the fluctuation time defined for the fluctuation pattern that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command, and the effect symbol is generated as the fluctuation time elapses. The combination of may be configured to display a fixed stop display. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a may be configured to control the display contents of the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b as the fluctuation time elapses. At this time, for example, if the determination result of the matching determination is abnormal, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the out-of-order specific symbol on both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b. It may be controlled as follows. On the other hand, if the determination result of the matching determination is "normal", the sub-control CPU 41a controls so that the specific symbol of the specified type is fixedly stopped and displayed on the first specific symbol display unit 33a or the second specific symbol display unit 33b. You may.

-The content that can be specified from the end specification command may be configured to include the lottery specific content. For example, the contents that can be specified from the end specification command may be configured to include common contents (including all contents among the common contents). That is, the contents that can be specified from the end designation command may be configured to include the lottery specific contents and the special game specific contents.

-It is not necessary to configure the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b so that the display contents are determined when the special game ends. For example, the specific symbol display units 33a, 33a, when the special game starts. It may be configured so that the display content of 33b is determined. For example, when the determination result of the matching determination performed with the start of the special game is "abnormal", the specific symbols that are out of alignment are determined in both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b. It may be configured so that the stop display is determined.

-The first relationship may be changed when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match. Further, the second relationship may be changed when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern designation command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol designation command do not match. Similarly, the specific relationship or the non-specific relationship may be changed when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match. For example, the case where at least the lottery specific contents do not match among the special game specific contents and the lottery specific contents may be set as the first specific relationship.

-When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command are the first relationship, and the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command. The display mode of the specific game may be the same as when is in the second relationship. Also, when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command have a specific relationship, and the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command. The display mode of the specific game may be different from that when is in a non-specific relationship. For example, when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command have a specific relationship or a non-specific relationship, and the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command. The display mode of the specific game may be the same as when the possible common contents are special relationships.

-Depending on the fluctuation pattern, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game does not have to be common. For example, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first deviation pattern variation pattern Ha11 is determined is a display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first deviation variation pattern Ha12 is determined. Or not all may be common. For example, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the outlier symbol variation pattern is determined is partly or all in common with the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the jackpot variation pattern is determined. It does not have to be. For example, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first special symbol variation pattern is determined is a part or a part of the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second special symbol variation pattern is determined. Not all have to be common. As described above, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first variation pattern is determined is the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined. It does not have to be common. In addition, the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the first variation pattern is determined and the display mode that can be the display mode of the specific game when the second variation pattern is determined are each. There may be no plurality of types, and at least one display mode may be one type.

-The control information (command) corresponding to the first control information does not have to be the control information that can specify the fluctuation pattern. Further, the control information (command) corresponding to the second control information does not have to be the control information that can specify the special symbol. For example, it is configured to output control information that can specify the start of a special game, the control information is used as the first control information or the second control information, and the contents that can be specified from the control information include common contents. It may be configured as follows. In this case, the content that can identify the start of the special game may be configured to be non-common content.

-When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command match, and the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command do not match. The display mode of the specific game may be the same as that of the time. For example, when the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command matches the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command, the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command matches the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command. The display contents of the specific game at the end of the special game may be different from those when the special game is not performed.

-When the display mode of the specific game is different, it is not necessary to make the flashing speed of the light emitters constituting the specific symbol display unit different. For example, if the light emitting color of the light emitting body is different or the brightness of the light emitting body is different. You may let it. For example, in the situation where the display mode of the first specific game is the high-speed display mode in the above embodiment, the first specification is made in the same color as the light emitting body constituting the second specific symbol display unit 33b (orange in the above embodiment). The light emitting body constituting the symbol display unit 33a may be configured to emit light. At this time, the speed at which the light emitting body constituting the first specific symbol display unit 33a blinks may be low or high.

-When the combination of the end designation command (control information at the end) and the specific information is a normal combination, and when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is an abnormal combination, the specific symbol at the end of the special game The display contents of the display units 33a and 33b may be the same. Further, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is the first abnormal combination, and when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is the second abnormal combination, the specific symbol display unit 33a at the end of the special game , 33b may have the same display contents. Further, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a specific abnormal combination, and when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a non-specific abnormal combination, the specific symbol display unit 33a at the end of the special game, The display content of 33b may be different. For example, when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a specific abnormal combination or a non-specific abnormal combination, and when the combination of the end designation command and the specific information is a special abnormal combination, the specific symbol at the end of the special game The display contents of the display units 33a and 33b may be the same.

-If the special game specific content that can be specified from the game execution information (special game specific content that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern specification command) and the special game specific content that can be specified from the end specification command do not match, the first specific symbol The control contents of the display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b may not be controlled. For example, if the first special game can be specified from the game execution information, or even if the second special game can be specified from the end designation command, the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b Of these, only the display content of the first specific symbol display unit 33a may be controlled.

-When the judgment result of the stop determination is "abnormal", it is not necessary to configure the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b so that the specified symbol that is out of alignment is displayed as a fixed stop, for example, normal (blue or orange). May emit light in a different emission color (for example, yellow), and a special specific symbol may be configured to be fixedly stopped and displayed.

-If you win in the winning lottery, you can specify the special game specific content that can be specified from the game execution information (special game specific content that can be specified from the variable pattern specification command) and the special game specification that can be specified from the end specification command. Even if the contents do not match, the specific symbol corresponding to the specific symbol display units 33a and 33b may be configured to be fixedly stopped and displayed. At this time, the specific symbol may be configured to be fixedly stopped and displayed on both the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33b, or the first specific symbol display unit 33a and the second specific symbol display unit 33a and the second. A specific symbol may be configured to be fixedly stopped and displayed on one of the specific symbol display units 33b.

-Of the abnormal combinations of the end specification command and the specific information, the first abnormal combination may be changed. Further, the second abnormal combination of the end designation command and the abnormal combination of the specific information may be changed. Similarly, among the abnormal combinations of the end designation command and the specific information, the specific abnormal combination or the non-specific abnormal combination may be changed. For example, as the first abnormal combination, a combination in which the special game specific content that can be specified from the end designation command and the special game specific content that can be specified from the specific information (particularly, the game execution information) do not match may be the first abnormal combination.

-When the common content that can be specified from the variation pattern specification command and the common content that can be specified from the symbol specification command match, one of the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command is missing, and the specific game It may be configured so that the display mode is the same. In addition, the display mode of the specific game is different depending on whether the variation pattern specification command among the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command is missing and the symbol specification command among the variation pattern specification command and the symbol specification command is missing.
