A "random number" is a random number used in a lottery (a lottery by a computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard random number). Random numbers, soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called "basic random number" that affects the result of the game, specifically, the "winning random number (random number for winning / failing lottery)" related to the transition of the special game, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol are determined. "Random number for determining variable mode", "Random number for determining stop symbol", "Random number for determining winning symbol" for determining whether to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variable game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all of these random numbers when determining the content of the variation mode, the content of the definite identification information, and the like, and at least one random number that is the same as or different from each other may be used. Further, in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but once the entry port (for example, the start entry port) that triggers the acquisition of random numbers. The random number obtained by entering the ball is called one (that is, in the above example, a bundle of random numbers such as winning random number + fluctuation mode determination random number + symbol determination random number ... is called one random number). .. Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The "gaming state" is, for example, a transition to a special gaming state in which the large winning opening can be opened, a transition to a special gaming state rather than a non-probability variable gaming state in which the lottery probability is a predetermined value. Probability fluctuation game state with high probability of lottery, transition to special game Auxiliary game state with assistance for winning a prize at the start port that triggers the lottery (so-called normal symbol time saving state, for example, a variable member is attached to the start port In some cases, it is any one or a plurality of combinations such as a long opening period of the variable member, a high probability of winning the opening of the variable member, and a short time of notifying the result of the opening lottery of the variable member).

"Easy" and "Difficult to enter" are determined by, for example, the size of the number of balls entered when 10,000 balls are launched on the right-handed route and the left-handed route, respectively).

Also, on the left-handed route (although not shown), a large number of game nails and windmills may or may not guide the game ball toward the first main game start port A10. On the right-handed route (although not shown), the number of game nails and windmills is smaller than that of the left-handed route, and the game balls have a substantially uniform flow-down mode. take.

More specifically, regarding the right-handed route, first, a game ball launched aiming at the right side of the game area D30 (for example, when the firing intensity of the game ball by the launcher is maximum, also called right-handed) , Flying in the game area D30 along the outer rail D32, and colliding with a stopper member (a member formed of rubber or the like) provided at the upper right end (reference to the center of the game area) of the game area D30, and falling due to its own weight. To start. Next, the dropped game ball enters the auxiliary game start port H10 directly below the ball with a high probability, and then the flow path width exceeds one game ball and is less than two game balls. The ball is collected at D50 (regardless of whether or not the ball has entered the auxiliary game start port H10). Next, the game ball flowing down along the rectifying passage D50 is discharged from the outlet of the rectifying passage D50, and then is slightly inclined to the left in the horizontal direction and has a three-stage stance. 1. After rolling on each passage of the second stage passage D51-2 and the third stage passage D51-3, it is discharged toward the out port D36.

Here, the first stage passage D51-1 is formed by the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d in the advanced state, while the second stage passage D51-2 and the third stage passage D51-3 are formed. , The game ball passage formed of synthetic resin or the like is formed by being fixed in advance to the game board. That is, when the second special winning opening electric accessory C21d is in the normal state (advanced state) and the first large winning opening electric accessory C11d is in the normal state (closed state), the exit of the rectifying passage D50. The game ball released from the first stage passage D51-1 rolls on the first stage passage D51-1 → the game ball released from the first stage passage D51-1 rolls on the second stage passage D51-2 → first The game ball released from the second-stage passage D51-2 rolls on the third-stage passage D51-3 → The game ball released from the third-stage passage D51-3 is released toward the out port D36. , And is configured to adopt a substantially uniform flow mode.

In this way, since the game balls that have flowed down the right-handed route take a substantially uniform flow-down mode, when the game balls are continuously fired toward the right-handed route (one shot at intervals of about 0.6 seconds), it is assisted. When the ball enters the game start port H10 stably and the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d is in the open state (evacuated state), the box-shaped member C20-1 (by extension, the second large winning opening) When the ball is stably entered (inside C20) and the first large winning opening electric accessory C11d is opened, the ball can be stably entered into the first large winning opening C10. It should be noted that the space until the game ball released from the second stage passage D51-2 reaches the third stage passage D51-3 can be in a retracted state and an advanced state. The object B11d is provided, and when the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is in the advanced state, the game ball can be guided toward the second main game start port B10. However, this point will be described later.

In such a configuration, the game ball released from the outlet of the rectifying passage D50 strongly collides with the first stage passage D51-1, that is, the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d in the advanced state. If this happens, there is a risk that the second prize opening electric accessory C21d will be damaged. Therefore, at least at the outlet of the rectifying passage D50, it is important to have a configuration for reducing the momentum of the game ball flowing down (substantially falling) in the rectifying passage D50. In the present embodiment, as shown in the vicinity of the outlet of the rectifying passage D50, the passage wall surface of the rectifying passage D50 has a shape protruding toward the inside of the rectifying passage D50, and this shape causes a game ball in the rectifying passage D50. Is configured to reduce the momentum of the game ball by falling in a zigzag manner. In addition, in the present embodiment, the same reasoning is provided, that the game ball rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 is also provided with a configuration for reducing the momentum (rolling speed) of the ball. Will be described later.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a configuration for reducing the momentum (rolling speed) of the game ball rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 will be described. First, as described above, the first stage passage D51-1 is formed by the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d, which is slightly inclined to the left with respect to the horizontal direction and is in the advanced state, and is the second. The large winning opening electric accessory C21d itself is a flat plate-shaped member. Therefore, the momentum (rolling speed) of the game ball rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 tends to accelerate as it is, so unless some measures are taken to reduce the momentum of the game ball. Even if the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d in the advanced state is displaced to the retracted state, {especially, a series of displacements in the advanced state → retracted state → advanced state is instantaneously (for example, about 0.1 seconds). There is a risk that the game ball cannot be successfully guided to the box-shaped member C20-1 (and in the second large winning opening C20). Therefore, in the present embodiment, a device is provided for the game ball rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 to proceed in a zigzag manner, as in the shape of the flow path provided near the exit of the rectifying passage D50. ..

More specifically, within the range in which the game ball rolls on the first stage passage D51-1, a plurality of protrusions D51-1-1 are provided on the surface side of the game board, and a plurality of protrusions D51-1-1 are also provided on the transparent plate D16 side. D51-1-2 is provided, and the plurality of protrusions D51-1-1 and the plurality of protrusions D51-1-2 are configured to be arranged alternately. Here, the plurality of protrusions D51-1-1 may be configured to be directly fixed to the surface of the game board, but the plurality of protrusions D51-1-2 may be directly attached to the back surface of the transparent plate D16. If it sticks, if the transparent plate D16 is opened for the purpose of maintenance of the gaming machine, the plurality of protrusions D51-1-2 will be exposed to the outside, so maintenance There is a risk that a person will come into contact with the plurality of protrusions D51-1-2 (in the worst case, the transparent plate D16 will come off) (and it will be difficult to reuse the transparent plate D16 as a member of another gaming machine). .. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, in the present embodiment, the wall surface on the transparent plate D16 side of the wall surface of the box-shaped member C20-1 is set as the second large winning opening electric accessory in the advanced state. It is configured to be extended upward from C21d so that the plurality of protrusions D51-1-2 are fixed to the wall surface of the extended box-shaped member C20-1.

In this way, by providing the plurality of protrusions D51-1-1 and the plurality of protrusions D51-1-2 within the range in which the game ball rolls on the first-stage passage D51-1, the first stage Since the game ball rolling on the passage D51-1 advances in a zigzag manner, the momentum (rolling speed) of the game ball rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 tends to decrease. Here, when the game balls are continuously fired toward the right-handed route (one is fired at intervals of about 0.6 seconds), the momentum of the game balls released from the exit of the rectifying passage D50 is reduced. Since the momentum of the game ball that reaches the first-stage passage D51-1 and rolls on the first-stage passage D51-1 is further decelerated, it is rolling on the first-stage passage D51-1. As a result of the long period, even if the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d (that is, the first stage passage D51-1) is momentarily displaced to the retracted state, the box-shaped member C20-1 (extended). Can successfully guide the game ball to the second prize opening C20). In addition, the fact that the momentum of the game balls rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 is decelerated means that when the game balls are continuously launched toward the right-handed route, the position spacing of the game balls is increased. Means that is narrowed (traffic jam of the game ball rolling on the first stage passage D51-1 occurs). Therefore, it is possible to create a situation in which a plurality of game balls exist on the second prize opening electric accessory C21d (that is, the first stage passage D51-1). In this case, the second prize is won. Even if the mouth electric accessory C21d (that is, the first stage passage D51-1) is momentarily displaced to the retracted state, the plurality of the same is to the box-shaped member C20-1 (in the second large winning opening C20). It is also possible to guide individual game balls together (the image diagram is shown in the lower part of the figure).

Next, the operation mode of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d will be described with reference to FIG. First, as described above, the space until the game ball released from the second-stage passage D51-2 reaches the third-stage passage D51-3 can be in a retracted state or an advanced state. The game start port electric accessory B11d is provided (the meanings of the retracted state and the advanced state are the same as those of the second large winning opening electric accessory C21d, but as described below, the second main game start. In the case of the mouth electric accessory B11d, the game ball is in an open state where it is easy for the game ball to enter the second main game start port B10 when the advance state is taken, and the game is played in the second main game start port B10 when the evacuation state is taken. It becomes a closed state where it is difficult for the ball to enter). Here, in the present embodiment, the second main game start port electric accessory B11d in the retracted state (closed state) is momentarily displaced to the advanced state (open state) due to the special game property described later. Even so, {especially when a series of displacements from the retracted state → the advanced state → the retracted state are momentarily performed (for example, in about 0.1 seconds)}, the ball enters the second main game start port B10. It is configured to physically guarantee that it will not be done.

More specifically, the game ball that has rolled on the second-stage passage D51-2, which is slightly inclined to the left with respect to the horizontal direction, once collides with the locking portion D51-2a, and once collides with the locking portion D51-2a, the third-stage passage D51. Start falling due to its own weight toward -3. Here, when the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is in the retracted state, it falls as it is and reaches the third stage passage D51-3 (the second stage in the figure). On the other hand, when the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is in the advanced state, the shape of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d itself can accept the dropped game ball and the second main game. In addition to having a shape that extends until it reaches the starting port B10, it is installed so as to be slightly inclined to the right with respect to the horizontal direction, so that the falling game ball is the second main game starting port B10. (As shown in the third row of the figure, the traveling direction of the game ball is switched from the left direction to the right direction). Then, when the second main game start port electric accessory B11d maintains the advanced state until the game ball that has started rolling toward the second main game start port B10 reaches the second main game start port B10. The ball enters the second main game start port B10 as it is, while the game ball that has started rolling toward the second main game start port B10 reaches the second main game start port B10. 2 When the main game start port electric accessory B11d is displaced to the retracted state, the ball falls toward the third stage passage D51-3 without entering the second main game start port B10 (the same figure). The subsequent game ball in the fourth stage corresponds to).

In this configuration, it takes about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds for the game ball that has started rolling toward the second main game start port B10 to reach the second main game start port B10. By designing so that, even if the second main game start port electric accessory B11d in the retracted state is momentarily displaced to the advanced state, {especially, the retracted state → the advanced state → the retracted state. When a series of displacements of the above are performed instantaneously (for example, in about 0.1 seconds)}, it is possible to physically guarantee that the ball does not enter the second main game starting port B10.

Here, the scope of the claims including the above and the "random numbers" in the present specification are, for example, "0" to "65535" and "65535" assigned according to the type of random number (for example, a winning random number or a random number for determining a variation mode). It is a value randomly selected from a predetermined range such as "0" to "255". Further, the random number does not have to be a mathematically generated random number, and may be a pseudo-random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. For example, the expression method of each value in the random number is a method in which the values are expressed in sequence along the sequence of random numbers (plus one method), and the next value (initial value) when the final value of the sequence of random numbers is expressed. ) Is determined by a random value (initial value update method), a combination thereof, and the like. By acquiring random numbers by such a method, it is possible to generate aperiodic random numbers that are difficult for the player to predict. On the contrary, for example, in the case of a method of generating the next random number by using the random number used for a certain lottery, the next random number is easily predicted. Therefore, when generating a random number, it is preferable to generate a new random number without using the random number used in the previous lottery.

Next, the hold control means MJ30 transfers the hold digestion control means MJ31 that controls the process related to the hold digestion and the fluctuation start, and the first main game side random number acquired in a situation where the first main game symbol change permission is not given. It is determined whether or not to temporarily store the random number, and based on the determination result, the first main game symbol holding means MJ32 for holding the random number in the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-A until the symbol change permission is given. -A and whether or not to temporarily store the second main game side random number acquired in a situation where the second main game symbol change permission has not been granted are determined, and the symbol change permission is granted for the random number based on the determination result. The second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B for holding the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B and the auxiliary game side random number acquired in the situation where the auxiliary game symbol change permission is not given are temporarily stored. It is determined whether or not to memorize, and based on the determination result, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H for holding the random number in the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H until the symbol change permission is given.

From here, an example of a general processing flow in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart. The flowchart is mainly composed of terminals (shown in rounded rectangles) indicating processing steps (shown in rectangles), judgments (shown in diamonds), flow lines (arrows), start / end / return, etc. .. Further, when the details of the processing steps are illustrated by another flowchart, the one that refers to the other flowchart is illustrated as a subroutine (shown by a rectangle in which the left and right lines are double lines). .. Here, at the development stage of a gaming machine, a gaming machine having different specifications is also developed at the same time, but in this example, a subroutine (which is executed by a gaming machine having different specifications) is executed in the processing on the main side. Subroutines that are not normally used) are not left behind, and processing related to unused subroutines that are not normally executed is prevented from being executed due to noise or fraudulent activity.

First, FIG. 7 is a main flowchart showing a general flow of processing performed by the main control board M. After the power of the gaming machine is turned on, the process shown in FIG. That is, after the power of the gaming machine is turned on and the initial settings are performed (not shown), in step 1002, the main control board M confirms the input port of the RAM clear button, and the reset button (RAM clear) of the power supply unit E. It is determined whether or not the button) has been operated, that is, whether or not the operation of intentionally clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed by the administrator of the amusement park or the like. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB) on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub-main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at the relevant timing). Alternatively, at that timing, a command may be set and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, in step 1008, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M (for example, it is stored in the checksum and the RAM area recorded at the time of power failure. Compare with the amount of information available). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are normal (whether or not the information at the time of power failure is accurately backed up in the RAM) based on the check result. If Yes in step 1010, that is, the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to the process of step 1004 (the RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if No in step 1010, that is, the data backed up in the RAM is normal, in step 1012, the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM of the main control board M in various ways at the time of power failure. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side (may be transmitted at the relevant timing, or the command is set at the relevant timing and the control command described later is set. It may be configured to transmit in the transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board M is triggered by an execution scheduled interrupt (for example, a hardware interrupt every about 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board M side shown in FIG. However, in this example, the interrupt cycle is T), {as a result, when the execution scheduled interrupt timing is reached, the figure (b) is executed}, and the process proceeds to step 1018. .. After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processes (for example, random number counter increment processes) until the next scheduled interrupt timing is reached.

The initial value of the temporary storage area (RAM, etc.) mounted on the main control board M is preferably configured so as not to be a value at which a special game is executed (noise or fraudulent activity immediately after the start of program processing). To prevent the special game from being erroneously executed when the process of determining the execution of the special game is executed).

Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. The main control board M executes the process of FIG. 3B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. That is, when the fixed interrupt cycle T is reached (for example, a hardware interrupt every about 1.5 ms), in step 1100, the main control board M executes the auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1200, the main control board M executes the electric accessory drive determination process described later.

Next, in step 1900, the main control board M executes the distribution accessory control process described later. Next, in step 1950, the main control board M executes the V winning opening ball entry determination process described later. Next, in step 3050, the main control board M executes the fraud detection information management process described later. Next, in step 3100, the main control board M executes the error management process described later. Next, in step 1997, the main control board M (particularly, the prize ball payout determining means MH) performs the prize ball payout control process (drive control of the prize ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the prize opening in which the game ball wins. The payout control board KH is made to execute (processing for managing the result, etc.) (Note that, in the present embodiment, the number of prize balls based on one prize in the first main game start port A10 is set to "3". "3", the number of prize balls based on one prize in the second main game start opening B10 is "3", the number of prize balls based on one prize in the first major winning opening C10 is "15", the second The number of prize balls based on one prize in the large prize opening C20 is set to "3", and the prize ball payout control process is executed). Next, in step 3150, the main control board M executes an external signal output process described later. Next, in step 1999, the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each of the above processes to the sub-main control unit side), and is executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. It returns to the processing that was done. In the control command transmission process, the order in which commands are received on the sub-main control unit SM side is important (for example, the process is normally executed by receiving another command after receiving a certain command). Since there are cases, the command is configured to be transmitted in the order in which the command is determined to be transmitted on the main control board M side (the order in which the command is set).

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

First, in step 1102, the auxiliary game start port entry determination means MJ11-H determines whether or not the game ball has entered the auxiliary game start port H10 (inflow, in the case of a gate, it has passed). In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H refers to the auxiliary game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-H, and whether or not the hold balls are not the upper limit (for example, four). Is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the auxiliary game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-H acquires the auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, the auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in step 1108, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H sets the random number in the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H together with the information on the number of the holding balls. Is added by 1, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1200). If No is set in step 1102 or step 1104, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1200).

Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the electric accessory drive determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. 7. First, in step 1202, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H, and the electric accessory opening flag is off.

Along with the acquisition, the lottery table MN41ta-H for determining the auxiliary game symbol is referred to, and the stop symbol is determined based on the game state of the acquired auxiliary game side and the auxiliary game symbol random number based on the reserved ball (for example, the auxiliary game time reduction flag). When is on, the winning symbol is selected with a higher probability than when is off) and temporarily stored in the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H. Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H sends the auxiliary game symbol to the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation management timer MP11t-C based on the game state of the auxiliary game side (flag state of the auxiliary game time reduction flag). Predetermined time related to the fluctuation time {For example, 0.1 seconds when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on (that is, a time shorter than the game ball firing interval of 0.6 seconds), and when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off Set 10 seconds (that is, a time longer than the game ball firing interval of 0.6 seconds)}. Then, in step 1220, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary game symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the holding information recorded in the auxiliary game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the auxiliary game symbol. At the same time, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary game symbol variation management timer MP11t-H, and then starts the auxiliary game symbol variation display on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g.

Next, in step 1224, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H determines whether or not the predetermined time related to the fluctuation time of the auxiliary game symbol has been reached with reference to the auxiliary game symbol fluctuation management timer MP11t-C. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol by referring to the auxiliary game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-H, and the acquired auxiliary game symbol. The stop symbol of the game symbol is confirmed and displayed on the auxiliary game symbol display unit H21g. Then, in step 1228, the auxiliary game symbol control means MP11-H turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1230, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing condition determining means MP21-B determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is a “hit”. In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B is based on the game state on the auxiliary game side (flag state of the auxiliary game time reduction flag), and the second main game. Start port Electric accessory opening timer MP22t-B has a predetermined time related to the opening time of the electric accessory (for example, 2.0 seconds when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on, 0 when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off). .12 seconds) is set. Next, in step 1234, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B turns on the electric accessory opening flag in the flag area of the auxiliary game state temporary storage means MB10-H. .. Then, in step 1236, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B opens the second main game start port electric accessory B11d. Next, in step 1242, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start port electric accessory opening timer MP22t-B to set the opening time of the electric accessory. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1242, in step 1244 and step 1246, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B closes the second main game start port electric accessory B11d and temporarily assists the game state. The flag for opening the electric accessory in the flag area of the storage means MB10-H is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1300).

On the other hand, if No in step 1242, in step 1243, the second main game start port electric accessory opening / closing control means MP20-B enters the second main game start port from the second main game start port entry ball detection device B11s. Based on the ball information, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number (1 in this example) of balls have entered the second main game start port B10. If Yes in step 1243, the process proceeds to step 1244, and if No in step 1243, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1300). If No in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1242, if No in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1224, and if No in steps 1206, 1224, and 1230, the next process (step 1300). Process).

Here, the relationship between the type of the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol in the present embodiment and the opening mode of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is shown in the margin of the figure. In the present embodiment, there are two types of stop symbols of the auxiliary game symbol, the lost symbol "D0" and the hit symbol "D1", and when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off (in the non-time reduction game state), , The lost symbol "D0" is selected almost deterministically, while the winning symbol "D1" is selected substantially deterministically when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on (in the time reduction game state). It is configured. In addition, when the hit symbol "D1" is stopped and displayed when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off (in the non-time reduction game state), the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is set to "0.12 seconds". While it is closed after "opening", if the hit symbol "D1" is stopped and displayed when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on (in the time reduction game state), the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is closed after "opening for 2.0 seconds". However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the mode of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is not a well-known tulip type, but a flat plate-shaped member provided so as to be buried in the game board surface is a player. The flat plate shape is adopted in a mode (so-called tongue-type electric chew) that can take an advanced state in which the player protrudes to the side and a retracted state in which the player is retracted to the player side. It takes about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds for the game ball that has fallen on the member of the above to roll on the flat plate-shaped member and enter the second main game start port B10. It is configured. That is, if the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is "opened for 0.12 seconds" (≈ the period in which the flat plate-shaped member is maintained in the advanced state is 0.12 seconds), for example, the first 2 Main game start port Even if the electric accessory B11d is opened, the ball is not allowed to enter the second main game start port B10. In addition, the second main game start port electric accessory B11d was scheduled to "open for 2.0 seconds" (≈ the period in which the flat plate-shaped member is maintained in the advanced state is 2.0 seconds). Even in this case, if a predetermined number (1 in this example) of balls are inserted into the second main game start port B10, the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is closed, in other words, the said ball. Since the flat plate-shaped member is retracted before the period during which the flat plate-shaped member is maintained in the advanced state expires, the subsequent game ball is placed on the flat plate-shaped member (second main game). Even if the ball is rolled (toward the start port B10), the subsequent game ball will fall without reaching the second main game start port B10. That is, even if the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is scheduled to be "opened for 2.0 seconds", the number of the second main game start port B10 is a predetermined number (in this example, one). ) Is configured so that it is easy to guarantee that only the incoming ball will occur.

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

Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. 7. First, in step 1302, the first main game start port entry determination means MJ11-A receives the first main game start opening entry information from the first main game start opening entry detection device A11s of the first main game start opening A10. Is received or not. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A refers to the first main game symbol reservation information temporary storage means MJ32b-A, and the main game (particularly the first main game). It is determined whether or not the reserved balls related to the side) are not the upper limit (4 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the first main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-A acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning / failing lottery random number for determining the winning / failing, a symbol lottery random number for determining the symbol at the time of winning, and a fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are determined. Three random numbers of the variable mode lottery random numbers for the purpose are acquired. By the way, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update cycles and random number ranges, and are acquired in series at this timing (for example, only the winning / failing lottery random numbers are used as so-called hardware random numbers). Others may be so-called software random numbers). Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-A. .. Next, in step 1310, the hold control means MJ30 uses the newly generated hold command (the number of holds, the hold random value, or the pre-determined pass / fail result or main based on the hold random value. The stop symbol of the game symbol, information related to the variation mode, etc.) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Is done), and the process proceeds to step 1312. Further, in the case of No in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1312.

Next, in step 1312, the second main game start opening ball entry determination means MJ11-B receives the second main game start port entry ball from the second main game start port entry ball detection device B11s of the second main game start port B10. Determine if information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1312, in step 1313, whether or not the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B does not satisfy the predetermined error condition regarding the illegal entry into the second main game start port B10. To judge. Here, as described above, due to the configuration of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d and the like, in the present embodiment, in the non-time reduction game state (tentatively, the second main game start port electric accessory B11d). The ball does not enter the second main game start port B10 (even if is opened), and the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is scheduled to perform "open for 2.0 seconds" in the time-reduced game state (temporarily). (Even if this is the case), it is difficult for the second main game start port B10 to receive more balls than a predetermined number (1 in this example). Therefore, the predetermined error condition is this configuration. Conditions for monitoring whether or not a ball has entered the second main game starting port B10 contrary to the (design) are set. In the case of Yes in step 1313, in step 1314, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B, and the main game (particularly the second main game). It is determined whether or not the reserved balls related to the side) are not the upper limit (4 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ21-B acquires the second main game content determination random number. In this embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of a winning / fail lottery random number, a symbol lottery random number, and a variation mode lottery random number are acquired as in the case of the first main game content determination means. By the way, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the winning / failing lottery random number for the first main game and the winning / failing lottery random number for the second main game). Acquisition range) is set to the same. Next, in step 1318, the second main game symbol holding means MJ32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-B. .. Next, in step 1320, the hold control means MJ30 uses the newly generated hold command (the number of holds, the hold random value, or the pre-determined pass / fail result or main based on the hold random value. The stop symbol of the game symbol, information related to the variation mode, etc.) is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1400). Further, in the case of No in step 1312 or step 1314, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1400).

The processing in the case of No in step 1313, that is, when the predetermined error condition regarding the illegal entry into the second main game start port B10 is satisfied is not particularly limited, but for example, in the non-time reduction game state. When a ball enters the second main game start port B10, only an error notification is executed to continue the game progress, while a predetermined number (a predetermined number) of the second main game start port B10 is used in the time-reduced game state. For example, when there are more than 6 balls entered, an error notification may be executed and the game progress may be stopped (processing after the processing is interrupted) (processing in step 1322). Is applicable). The conditions for executing the error notification are as follows: (1) When the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is opened once, the second main game starts from the time when the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is activated. When the number of balls entered in the starting port B10 exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 6), (2) the second main game starting when the second main game starting port electric accessory B11d accumulated during the game is closed. When the number of balls entered into the mouth B10 exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 3), (3) the second main game start mouth is after the timing when the error notification condition of (1) or (2) is satisfied. It may be every time one game ball enters B10.

In steps 1308 and 1318, the first main game content determination random number is stored and the second main game content determination random number is stored, but the main game content determination random number is stored in the RAM storage area of the main control board. When storing, a dedicated storage area is secured, and only the information related to the "main game content determination random number" is stored in the byte that stores the information related to the main game content determination random number (various timers). It is preferable to configure it so that other information such as values is not stored (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, the information related to the main game content determination random number is rewritten due to noise or the like. To prevent it from getting stuck). In addition, regarding the winning / failing lottery random number, the change in the gaming state (the already recorded game state related to the hold) between the acquisition of the winning / failing lottery random number and the execution of the winning / failing lottery related to the winning / failing lottery random number. Since not only the change but also the game state may change due to the newly generated hold, the game state at the time of executing the winning / failing lottery related to the lottery random number is unpredictable). Is configured to store the lottery random number until the execution of.

Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. 7. First, in step 1401, the hold digestion control means MJ31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B, and confirms whether or not the hold of the second main game symbol exists. In the case of Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the game content determining means MN executes the first main game symbol display process described later, and shifts to the next process (process of step 1600). On the other hand, if No in step 1401, in step 1400 (2), the game content determining means MN executes the second main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the holding ball of the second main game symbol exists, regardless of the existence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the holding of the first main game symbol). It is configured to prioritize the hold digestion of the second main game symbol (even if it comes first), but it is not limited to this (hold digestion based on the winning order and both main game symbols are performed in parallel at the same time). It may be configured to execute a parallel lottery to draw a lottery).

Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. Since this processing is substantially the same for the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Write in parentheses. First, in step 1403, the reserved digestion control means MJ31 determines whether or not the fluctuation start condition is satisfied. Here, the fluctuation start condition is not during the special game (or the condition device is operating) (for example, the special game execution flag described later is not turned on), and the main game symbol is not changing (for example, the changing flag described later). Is not on), there is a hold of the main game symbol, the small hit game is not in progress (for example, the small hit execution flag described later is not on), and the variable fixed time is not in progress (for example, described later). The condition is that the variable fixed flag is not turned on (in addition, as described above, the condition does not include the case where the progress of the game is interrupted).

In the case of Yes in step 1403, in step 1405 and step 1406, the hold digestion control means MJ31 becomes the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B). The first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol change, which is temporarily stored, is read out, and the first main game symbol reservation information temporary storage means MJ32b-A (second main game). It is deleted from the symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ32b-B), and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (hold digestion processing). Next, in step 1408, the winning / failing lottery means MN10 refers to the first main game winning / losing lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game winning / losing lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state, and the first main player. The main game symbol winning / failing lottery is executed based on the game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the winning lottery random number).

Here, FIG. 14 (main game table 1) is an example of the first main game winning / failing lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game winning / losing lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, there is only one type of table for determining whether or not the game is on the first main game side and the second main game side, that is, it has a so-called probability fluctuation function. No (a feature of this embodiment is that a plurality of big hits can be continuously performed in a short period of time even if the player does not have the probability fluctuation function). Instead, as a type of hit, in addition to a big hit {a hit that allows a so-called round (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "R") to be executed multiple times}, a small hit (a so-called round can be executed only once). (Hit), and as will be described later, when the result of the hit / fail judgment is a small hit, a big hit is induced after that (even if the result of the hit / fail judgment is not a big hit). Has been done. Since the configuration for inducing the big hit may be realized by at least one of the first main game side and the second main game side, the case where the result of the hit / miss judgment is a small hit is the first main game. It may be configured to occur at at least one of the tables on the side and the second main game side (however, as will be described later, in order to make a plurality of big hits continuous in a short period of time, the result on the second main game side is correct or not. It is preferable that the judgment table is configured to win a small hit). In the present embodiment, in particular, the second main game side is configured to win a small hit with a high probability (about 1/6) (temporarily, there are four holds on the second main game side). If the small hit is won at about 1/6, the probability of winning the small hit is about 50% by the time the four holdings are exhausted). The configuration of the main game table 1 is not limited to this, and a small hit may not be provided on the first main game side, or a loss may not be provided on the second main game side.

Next, in step 1410, the first main game symbol determination means MN41-A (second main game symbol determination means MN41-B) uses the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination). Refer to the lottery table MN41ta-B), and stop symbols related to the main game symbol based on the main game symbol winning / failing lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the symbol lottery random number). Are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

Here, FIG. 14 (main game table 2) is an example of the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when a jackpot is won, one main game symbol from a plurality of main game symbol candidates (“7A” and “7B” in this example) is a jackpot symbol. It is configured to be determined as. The number of rounds of the special game and the opening time of the big winning opening determined by referring to the main game symbol are "7A" as a "4R" big hit and "7B" as a "15R" big hit. The random value and the type of stop symbol are also examples, and are not limited to this. In the present embodiment, the number of rounds of the special game related to the first main game and the number of rounds of the special game related to the second main game are different, and the number of game balls that can be acquired during the special game is different. However, the number of rounds of the special game related to the first main game and the number of rounds of the special game related to the second main game are both set to "15R", and the opening mode of the large winning opening is different. By doing so, the number of game balls that can be acquired during the special game may be different.

Next, in step 1416, the first main game variation mode determining means MN51-A (second main game variation mode determining means MN51-B) uses the first main game variation mode determining lottery table MN51ta corresponding to each gaming state. -A (Lottery table MN51ta-B for determining the second main game variation mode) is referred to, and the result of the main game symbol winning / failing lottery and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (particularly, the variation mode lottery). The variation mode of the main game symbol is determined based on the random number), and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

Here, the main game table 3 shown in FIG. 14 is an example of the first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in this figure, in the present embodiment, the variation mode (variation) of the main game symbol with respect to a certain random number value (particularly, the variation mode lottery random number) based on the winning / failing lottery result of the main game symbol and the main game time reduction flag state Time) can be determined. For example, when the winning / failing lottery result of the main game symbol is a hit (big hit, small hit) for a certain random number value, it is easy to determine the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively long, and the main game time reduction flag is turned on. In the case of (time saving game state), it is configured so that the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively short can be easily determined (other matters characteristic of the fluctuation time will be described later). It should be noted that this example is merely an example, and is not limited to the type of variation mode (variation time), selectivity, and the like. Further, the symbol variation time on the first main game side in the time reduction game state (when the main game time reduction flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long {symbol variation on the second main game side. When is configured to be advantageous to the player, it is easy for the second main game side to hold the game by lowering the symbol fluctuation efficiency of the first main game side (advantageous to the player). Since the purpose is to build a situation, it is particularly effective when the starting port on the first main game side and the starting port on the second main game side cannot be separated}.

Further, as shown in this figure, in this example, the fluctuation time related to the second main game symbol in the non-time shortened game state is 1 of 15 seconds when the game is lost and 60 seconds when the game is hit (big hit, small hit). It is configured so that only the type of variation time is selected, and in the non-time reduction game state, the same effect (the effect is related to the variation of the decorative symbol, but the details will be described later) is performed according to the variation time. It is configured to be executed (in the case of a hit, the effect of notifying the hit is executed after the effect at the time of loss is executed). The configuration of the main game table 3 is not limited to this, and the shortest fluctuation time on the first main game side in consideration of all the game states, the win / fail results, and the number of holds is the all game states and the win / fail results. It may be configured to be shorter than the shortest fluctuation time on the second main game side in consideration of the number of holdings. For example, as the case where the shortest fluctuation time is obtained, the non-time shortened gaming state and the first When the number of main game pending is the maximum number and is lost (or when the time is shortened game state and is lost), the shortest fluctuation time on the first main game side is set to "1 second", and the time shortened game state and the first 2 The shortest fluctuation time on the second main game side when the number of reserved main games is the maximum and is lost may be set to "3 seconds". Further, only the fluctuation on the first main game side in the non-time shortened game state, the type and selection rate of the selection candidate of the fluctuation time depend on the number of main game reservations {others (for example, the first main game in the time shortened game state). In the case of a change on the side, a change on the second main game side in the non-time shortened game state, and a change on the second main game side in the time shortened game state), it does not depend on the number of reserved main games}.

Next, in step 1450, the game content determination means MN executes a variable fixed time determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1418, the game content determining means MN temporarily stores the symbol variation display start instruction command (stop symbol information, attribute information of the stop symbol) stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. , Information on the determined main game symbol such as variation mode information and commands related to the current game state) are set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side (control command transmission in step 1999). It is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by processing). Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets a predetermined time related to the fluctuation time of the main game symbol in the first and second main game symbol fluctuation management timer MP11t-C. To do. Next, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display unit A21g (2nd main game symbol display device B20) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). On the second main game symbol display unit B21g), the variation display of the main game symbol is started according to the variation mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Next, in step 1424, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn on the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. The process proceeds to step 1428.

On the other hand, if No in step 1403, in step 1426, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refer to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C and change. Determines if the medium flag is on. If Yes in step 1426, the process proceeds to step 1428. On the other hand, if No in step 1426, in step 1440, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. , It is determined whether or not the variable fixing flag (the flag that is turned on in step 1438 described later) is on. If Yes in step 1440, the process proceeds to step 1441, and if No in step 1440, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

Next, in step 1428, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determines whether or not the predetermined time related to the fluctuation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1428, in step 1430, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sends information (symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit SM side to the effect that the symbol variation is completed. It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1432, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display unit A21g (2nd main game symbol display device B20) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). Stops the variable display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display unit B21g), and displays the stop symbol stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C as a fixed stop symbol. Control. Next, in step 1434, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn off the changing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. ..

Next, in step 1436, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C sets the variable fixed time related to the fluctuation determined in step 1450 to the variable fixed time timer MN30t, and starts the timer. To do. Next, in step 1438, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turns on the variable fixing flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. , Step 1441.

Next, in step 1441, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the variable fixed time timer MN30t, and determines whether or not the timer value is 0. In the case of Yes in step 1441, in step 1442, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C are in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, and are being fixed. The flag is turned off and the process proceeds to step 1444. On the other hand, if No in step 1441, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

Next, in step 1444, the game content determining means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a jackpot symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1444, in step 1445, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is a jackpot symbol stop command {a command for executing the V winning detection effect described later, and this embodiment. In the game, by executing the same effect as when the game ball is won in the V winning opening C22, the firing intensity of the game ball is adjusted so that the game ball flows down to the right side of the game area D30. The purpose is to make the player feel that the progress of the game at the time of execution (launching a ball) is smooth} is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM side ( It is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1446, the game content determining means MN turns on the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1500. On the other hand, if No in step 1444, in step 1447, the game content determining means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol of the main game symbol is small. It is determined whether or not it is a winning symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1447, in step 1448, the game content determining means MN turns on the small hit flag in the flag area of the small hit game-related information temporary storage means MP40b, and proceeds to step 1500. Even if No in step 1447, the process proceeds to step 1500.

Next, in step 1500, the specific game control means MP50 executes the specific game end determination process described later, and shifts to the next process (process of step 1600). Even if No in step 1428, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the variable fixed time determination process according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the variable fixed control means MN30 refers to the flag area of the specific game-related information temporary storage means MB30b, and whether or not the main game time reduction flag is on (in other words, in the time reduction game state). Therefore, it is determined whether or not the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is in a state where it is easy to open and the second main game start port B10 is in a state where it is easy to enter the ball). In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the variable fixed control means MN30 refers to the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, and is the change related to the second main game symbol? Determine if not. In the case of Yes in step 1454, in step 1456, the fluctuation fixed control means MN30 refers to the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, and determines whether or not the fluctuation is a fluctuation related to a small hit. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the fluctuation fixing control means MN30 determines the fluctuation fixing time of the fluctuation to be a long time (30 seconds in this example), and shifts to the next process (process of step 1418). To do. As described above, in the present embodiment, at the time shortened game state and at the end of the fluctuation related to the small hit on the second main game side, the time for causing the hold on the second main game side is secured (details will be described later). However, in the present embodiment, a large number of game balls are acquired depending on whether or not the hold on the second main game side generated in the time-reduced game state is digested in the non-time-reduced game state and a small hit is won. Since it is a game that determines whether or not it can be done, it is important to ensure that the second main game side holds up to the maximum number of holds in the time-shortened game state). It is configured for a long time. The configuration in which the above-mentioned hold on the second main game side is caused up to the maximum number of holds is not limited to this, and during the small hit game won in the time-shortened game state (small hit game start demo time, small hit). It may be configured to occur during the opening period of the second large winning opening C20 related to the game), or may be configured to occur during the fluctuation related to the small hit won in the time-reduced game state.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1452, step 1454 or step 1456, in step 1462, the fluctuation fixing control means MN30 determines the fluctuation fixing time of the fluctuation to a short time (0.2 seconds in this example), and then follows. (Processing in step 1418).

Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the time reduction counter MP52c and determines whether or not the counter value is larger than 0. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the specific game control means MP50 decrements the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c by 1. Next, in step 1506, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the time reduction counter MP52c, and determines whether or not the counter value (remaining time reduction number) is 0. In the case of Yes in step 1506, in step 1508 and step 1510, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag in the flag area of the specific game-related information temporary storage means MB30b, and then turns off the next. (Processing in step 1600). Even if No in step 1502 or step 1506, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1600).

Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the special game operating condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. 7. First, in step 1602, the condition determination means MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the condition device operation flag (as described above, the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol is a big hit. This flag is turned on when the symbol is stopped and displayed, but as will be described later, it is also turned on when the ball is entered into the V winning opening C22 when the small hit game is executed.) Determines if is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604, the special game control means MP30 turns off the specific game flag (main game time reduction flag / auxiliary game time reduction flag) in the flag area of the specific game-related information temporary storage means MB30b. To do. Next, in step 1610, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time reduction counter MP52c to zero. Next, in step 1612, the special game control means MP30 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1614, the special game control means MP30 turns off the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1700). Even if No in step 1602, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1700).

Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. 7. First, in step 1702, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704 and step 1706, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag and the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Turn on. Next, in step 1707, the special game executing means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) in the round number counter (not shown) in the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1708, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting the information (special game start display instruction command) to the effect that the special game is started to the sub-main control unit side (command transmission buffer MT10). In the control command transmission process in step 1999, it is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side), and the process proceeds to step 1712.

On the other hand, if No in step 1702, in step 1710, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. Then, in the case of Yes in step 1710, the process proceeds to step 1712. If No in step 1710, the special game executing means MP33 determines that the permission for the special game has not been obtained, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1800).

Next, in step 1712, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. Determine if it exists. In the case of Yes in step 1712, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1714, the special game execution means MP33 opens the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b with an open pattern (for example, "29.0 seconds"). Set the open pattern) of "open → closed". Next, in step 1716, the special game executing means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1718, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1720, the special game executing means MP33 drives the first large winning opening electric accessory C11d of the first large winning opening C10 to open the first large winning opening C10, and the special game timer MP34t ( In particular, a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) is set in the open time timer) to start, and the process proceeds to step 1722. On the other hand, if No in step 1712, that is, if the big winning opening is open, the process proceeds to step 1722 without performing the processes of steps 1714 to 1720.

Next, in step 1722, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) related to the current special game to the sub-main control unit SM side. It is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for this purpose (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1724, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and determines whether or not there are a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of winning balls in the first large winning opening C10 in the round. judge. If Yes in step 1724, the process proceeds to step 1728. On the other hand, if No in step 1724, in step 1726, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (particularly the opening time timer) and sets a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) related to opening the large winning opening. Determine if it has passed. In the case of Yes in step 1726, the process proceeds to step 1728. If No in step 1726, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1800).

Next, in step 1728, the special game executing means MP33 stops driving the first large winning opening electric accessory C11d of the first large winning opening C10 and closes the first large winning opening C10. Next, in step 1730, the special game execution means MP33 resets the special game timer MP34t (particularly the open time timer). Next, in step 1732, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1733, the special game executing means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1734, the special game executing means MP33 refers to the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and whether or not the final round is completed (for example, the round number counter in the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b). Whether or not the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds) is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1734, in step 1736, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1738, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting the information indicating the end of the special game (special game end display instruction command) to the sub-main control unit SM side. (It is transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side in the control command transmission process in step 1999). Then, in step 1750, the specific game control means MP50 executes the game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and shifts to the next process (process of step 1800). Even if No in step 1734, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1800).

Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game, which relates to the subroutine of step 1750 in FIG. First, in step 1752, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and is currently after the completion of the special game related to the first main game side (first main game). Judgment whether or not it is after the special game related to the big hit symbol and after the special game related to the entry of the game ball into the V winning opening C22 triggered by the stop of the first main game small hit symbol). To do. If Yes in step 1755, the process proceeds to step 1755. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1752, in other words, when the special game related to the second main game symbol is completed, in step 1754, the specific game control means MP50 is the first / second main game symbol information temporary storage means. With reference to MB11b-C, after the end of the special game won in the time-reduced game state (after the special game related to the second main game big hit symbol and to the V winning opening C22 triggered by the stop of the second main game small hit symbol) (Including both after the special game related to the entry of the game ball). If Yes in step 1754, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1800) (the gaming state becomes the non-time shortened gaming state), and if No in step 1754, the process proceeds to step 1755. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the end of the special game related to the first main game side, the game state after the end of the special game is determined without depending on the game state at the time of winning the special game, while the other After the end of the special game related to the second main game side, the game state after the end of the special game is determined depending on the game state at the time of winning the special game.

Next, in step 1755, the specific game control means MP50 sets the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c a predetermined number of times (10 times in this example). Next, in steps 1756 and 1758, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag in the flag area of the specific game-related information temporary storage means MB30b, and next processing (step). 1800 processing).

Here, the upper right corner of the figure is an image diagram of the distribution accessory operation. The initial position of the distribution accessory C23 is the first position, and it operates to the second position at the same time when the small hit game is started, and based on the distribution accessory operation timer value, "second position → first position → It is configured to operate in the order of "second position-> initial position (first position)". In fact, the distribution bonus operation timer value becomes the first operation value and becomes the first position → the game ball enters the second large winning opening C20 → the game ball reaches the distribution bonus C23 → The game ball is stored in the distribution accessory C23 → The distribution accessory operation timer value becomes the second operation value and becomes the second position → The stored game ball enters the V winning opening C22. A big hit (special game) will be triggered by performing the series of actions of.

Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the V winning opening ball entry determination process according to the subroutine of step 1950 in FIG. 7. First, in step 1952, the V winning opening control means MN70 refers to the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and is a condition device operation reservation flag (a flag that is turned on in step 1960 described later, that is, ejected. It is determined whether or not the flag (flag that is turned on when the game ball enters the V winning opening C22) is off during the waiting time. In the case of Yes in step 1952, in step 1954, the V winning opening control means MN70 refers to the V winning opening entry determining means MJ11-V and determines whether or not a game ball has entered the V winning opening C22. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1954, in step 1956, the V winning opening control means MN70 is within the V winning opening valid period (the period from the start timing of the small hit game to the end timing of the discharge waiting time related to the small hit game). Determine if it exists. In the case of Yes in step 1956, in step 1958, the V winning opening control means MN70 transmits a V winning detection command (a command for executing the V winning detection effect, which will be described later) to the sub-main control unit SM side. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM side by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Although not shown, an error notification is executed at the time of the small hit game related to the small hit symbols (“2AK” and “4AK” in this example) that should not enter the V winning opening C22 at the present processing execution timing. It is configured to do. Next, in step 1960, the V winning opening control means MN70 turns on the condition device operation reservation flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and shifts to the next process (process in step 1997). To do.

On the other hand, if No in step 1952, in step 1962, the V winning opening control means MN70 has a V winning opening valid period (a period from the start timing of the small hit game to the end timing of the discharge waiting time related to the small hit game). Determines if is finished. In the case of Yes in step 1962, in step 1964, the V winning opening control means MN70 turns on the condition device operation flag in the flag area of the special game-related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the next process (process of step 1997). ). In addition, even if No in step 1954, step 1956 or step 1962, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). Further, in the case of No in step 1956, in other words, when the risk of illegal entry such as a game ball entering the V winning opening C22 is increased even though the small hit game is not executed. It is preferable that the error processing is appropriately executed. In addition, the number of rounds of the special game related to the ball entering the V winning opening C22 is "15R", and the series of flow of "small hit game → special game related to entering the V winning opening C22" is totaled. Then, the number of rounds related to the small hit game is "1R" and the number of rounds related to the special game is "15R", which is "16R".

Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of fraud detection information management processing according to the subroutine of step 3050 in FIG. 7. First, in step 3052, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the disconnection short-circuit radio wave sensor and determines whether or not the input from the disconnection short-circuit radio wave sensor is ON for a predetermined number of times in a row (for example, the process is a timer). It is a process executed by interrupt processing, and the purpose is to eliminate the influence of noise by determining whether or not it is turned on continuously in a predetermined number of interrupts. The same applies when the term "consecutively specified number of times" is used). In the case of Yes in step 3052, in step 3054, the fraud detection information management means ME turns on the fraud detection in progress flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb, and proceeds to step 3060. On the other hand, if No in step 3052, in step 3056, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the disconnection short-circuit radio wave sensor and determines whether or not the input from the disconnection short-circuit radio wave sensor is OFF for a predetermined number of times in a row. judge. In the case of Yes in step 3056, in step 3058, the fraud detection information management means ME turns off the fraud detection in-progress flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb, and proceeds to step 3060. Even if No in step 3056, the process proceeds to step 3060.

Next, in step 3060, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the fraudulent radio wave sensor and determines whether or not the input from the fraudulent radio wave sensor is ON for a predetermined number of times in a row. In the case of Yes in step 3060, in step 3062, the fraud detection information management means ME determines that a fraudulent radio wave has been detected, and turns on the fraud detection in-progress flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb. The process proceeds to step 3068. On the other hand, if No in step 3060, in step 3064, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the fraudulent radio wave sensor and determines whether or not the input from the fraudulent radio wave sensor is continuously turned off a predetermined number of times. In the case of Yes in step 3064, in step 3066, the fraud detection information management means ME determines that no fraudulent radio waves have been detected, and turns off the fraud detection in-progress flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb. , Step 3068. Even if No in step 3064, the process proceeds to step 3068.

Next, in step 3068, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the fraudulent magnetic sensor and determines whether or not the input from the fraudulent magnetic sensor is ON for a predetermined number of times in a row. In the case of Yes in step 3068, in step 3070, it is determined that an illegal magnetism has been detected, the fraud detecting flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 3076. On the other hand, if No in step 3068, in step 3072, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the fraudulent magnetic sensor and determines whether or not the input from the fraudulent magnetic sensor is OFF for a predetermined number of times in a row. In the case of Yes in step 3072, in step 3074, the fraud detection information management means ME determines that the fraudulent magnetism has not been detected, and turns off the fraud detection in-progress flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb. , Step 3076. Even if No in step 3072, the process proceeds to step 3076.

Next, in step 3076, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the vibration sensor and determines whether or not the input from the vibration sensor is ON for a predetermined number of times in a row. In the case of Yes in step 3076, it is determined in step 3078 that abnormal vibration is detected, the vibration abnormality detecting flag in the flag area of the fraudulent related information temporary storage means MEb is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 3084. On the other hand, if No in step 3076, in step 3080, the fraud detection information management means ME refers to the vibration sensor and determines whether or not the input from the vibration sensor is continuously turned off a predetermined number of times. In the case of Yes in step 3080, in step 3082, the fraud detection information management means ME determines that no abnormal vibration has been detected, and turns off the vibration abnormality detecting flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb. Then, the process proceeds to step 3084. In addition, even if No in step 3080, the process proceeds to step 3084.

Next, in step 3084, the fraud detection information management means ME determines whether or not the signal indicating that communication has been normally performed from the prize ball payout control board KH has not been continuously received a predetermined number of times. If Yes in step 3084, it is determined in step 3086 that a communication line abnormality has been detected, the communication line abnormality detecting flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 3092. On the other hand, if No in step 3084, in step 3088, the fraud detection information management means ME determines whether or not the signal from the prize ball payout control board KH indicating that normal communication has been successfully received has been continuously received a predetermined number of times. To do. In the case of Yes in step 3088, in step 3090, the fraud detection information management means ME determines that the communication line abnormality has not been detected, and sets the communication line abnormality detecting flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb. Turn it off and proceed to step 3092. In addition, even if No in step 3088, the process proceeds to step 3092.

Next, in step 3092, the fraud detection information management means ME determines whether or not the abnormality sensor has been detected. In the case of Yes in step 3092, in step 3094, the abnormality sensor detection flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 3100). In addition, the abnormality sensor detection means that the ball passing time is abnormal, the second starting port is invalid, the first big winning opening is abnormal, the second big winning opening is abnormal, the V winning opening is invalid, the ejection ball is invalid, and the ejection ball is ejected. It is an excess abnormality (details will be described later). Further, in the present embodiment, the external terminal signal can be output again even if Yes is set again in step 3092 under the condition that the abnormality sensor detection flag is on. On the other hand, if No in step 3092, in step 3096, the fraud detection information management means ME determines whether or not the abnormality sensor has been detected. In the case of Yes in step 3096, in step 3098, the fraud detection information management means ME determines that the abnormality sensor has not been detected, turns off the abnormality sensor detection flag in the flag area of the fraud-related information temporary storage means MEb, and turns off the abnormality sensor detection flag. The process proceeds to the next process (process of step 3100). Even if No in step 3096, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3100). The situation in which the sensor is turned on in the figure includes that what is emitted from the sensor (for example, light) is blocked by the game ball (so-called, the sensor is turned off).

Here, the error provided in this embodiment will be described in detail. (1) The disconnection short-circuit abnormality is an error detected when Yes is obtained in step 3052, and is the first main game start port A10, the second main game start port B10, the first major winning opening C10, and the second. This is an error that occurs when the sensors for detecting the game balls such as the large winning opening C20 and the V winning opening C22 are disconnected or short-circuited. (2) The illegal radio wave abnormality is an error detected when the result is Yes in step 3060, and is an error generated when the illegal radio wave sensor (not shown) detects an illegal radio wave. (3) The illegal magnetic anomaly is an error detected when Yes in step 3068, and is an error generated when the illegal magnetic sensor (not shown) detects illegal magnetism. (4) The vibration abnormality is an error detected when Yes in step 3076, and an error occurs when the vibration sensor detects an illegal vibration (for example, a strong impact that does not occur in a normal game). Is. (5) The communication line abnormality is an error detected when Yes is obtained in step 3084, and the signal indicating that normal communication is being performed from the payout control board KH to the main control board M cannot be received. This is an error that occurs when it is detected. (6) Abnormality sensor detection is an error detected when Yes is obtained in step 3092, and is an error in the passing time of the ball (a length that cannot occur when the game ball normally enters the winning opening). Error when the period sensor continues to detect), 2nd start port invalid prize (error when invalid prize to the 2nd main game start port B10 is detected), 1st big prize opening abnormal prize (predetermined period) (Error when a game ball enters the 1st prize opening C10 more than a predetermined number during the period), 2nd prize opening abnormal prize (A predetermined number or more of game balls enter the 2nd prize opening C20 during a predetermined period) (Error when entering the ball), V winning opening invalid passage (error when invalid winning to V winning opening C22 is detected), discharge ball invalid passing (invalid discharge from the large winning opening was detected) This is an error that occurs when an error in the case of excess balls is detected (an error when the number of balls discharged from the large winning opening exceeds the number of balls entered).

Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the error management process according to the subroutine of step 3100 in FIG. 7. First, in step 3102, the fraud detection management means ME determines whether or not the error occurrence condition is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the fraud detection management means ME transmits a command (command to the sub side) related to the fact that an error has occurred and the error type information (sub by the control command transmission process in step 1999). It is transmitted to the main control unit SM side). Next, in step 3106, the fraud detection management means ME determines whether or not the error release condition (which may differ depending on the type of error occurring) is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 3106, in step 3108, the fraud detection management means ME transmits a command (command to the sub side) related to the information that the error has been cleared (sub-main control by the control command transmission process in step 1999). It is transmitted to the SM side), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997). In addition, even if No in step 3102 or step 3106, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1997).

Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the external signal output process according to the subroutine of step 3150 in FIG. First, in step 3152, the external signal output control means MG refers to the game state temporary storage means MB and confirms the state of the game machine (the state of the flag related to the error switching on / off in FIG. 22). To do. Next, in step 3154, the external signal output control means MG refers to the external terminal transmission content determination table, and based on the confirmed state of the gaming machine, the gaming machine is connected to the hall computer HC via the external terminal plate G. A signal indicating the state of is output, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1999).

(External terminal board)
Here, the signal output via the external terminal plate G according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the lower part of the figure (image diagram of the signal output). The external terminal plate G has a plurality of external connection terminals as output terminals to which various cable connectors are connected {for example, information on prize ball payout, information on winning or symbol stop, current gaming state (normal gaming state, specific). Game state information output terminal for outputting information related to game state, special game state, etc., error information output for outputting various error information detected by the open detection sensor when the door is open, etc. Terminals, etc.} are provided. The plurality of output terminals are connected to the hall computer HC by a cable harness so that information can be output from the plurality of output terminals to the hall computer HC. Here, in the present embodiment, one output terminal is assigned as an output terminal for payout-related information which is information output from the prize ball payout control board KH and is a plurality of types of information. The output terminals other than the one output terminal are output terminals for signals output from the main control board M. For example, there are a plurality of jackpot output terminals that output a signal during a jackpot at the time of a jackpot (there are a plurality of terminals depending on the type of jackpot). ), The door open output terminal that outputs a signal while the glass door D18 is open, the start port winning output terminal that outputs a signal when the start port is won, and the prize ball tank KT are short of balls. Game-related information that is important information for the game hall operator, such as an output terminal when the ball is out, which outputs a signal while the door is running, and an output terminal for the number of times the special symbol is confirmed, which outputs a signal when the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. It is an output terminal. That is, by setting the output terminal of the payout-related information as one output terminal, it is possible to prevent the output terminal of these important game-related information from being exhausted.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH are configured to transmit game-related information and payout-related information to the external terminal board G in the form of one-way serial transmission. .. That is, no transmission line is provided from the external terminal board G to the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH (the same applies to information transmission from the external terminal board G to the hall computer HC).

Here, to explain the outline of the information transmission method of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, first, the main control board M, the prize ball payout control board KH, the external terminal board G, and the external terminal board G It is connected to the hall computer HC by a cable harness. On the other hand, as shown in this example, since the external terminal plate G is composed of a communication relay (so-called relay), the main control board M, the prize ball payout control board KH, and the hall computer HC are always conductive. Not at all. That is, the electrical signal (a binary logic signal whose voltage is Hi level / Low level) input from the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH to the input terminal of the external terminal board G is the relay unit. After being temporarily replaced with a physical signal (a binary logic signal whose switch state is on / off), the signal is output from the output terminal of the external terminal plate G to the hall computer HC. More specifically, the external terminal plate G has a plurality of relay coils G1 and contact portions G2 corresponding to the respective input / output terminals. Then, when the relay coil G1 is excited based on the pulse signal input to the input terminal, a magnetic force is generated, and the contact portion G2 is closed by the generated magnetic force, so that the output terminal and the hall computer HC are electrically connected. Further, when the relay coil G1 is degaussed, the contact portion G2 returns to the open state, so that the output terminal and the hall computer HC do not conduct with each other. Therefore, on the hall computer HC side, by detecting the conduction period, it is possible to obtain a pulse signal substantially the same as the pulse signal input to the input terminal of the external terminal plate G. With such a configuration, one-way communication from the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH to the hall computer HC can be physically secured, and the main control board M and the main control board M from the hall computer HC side can be secured. This is to prevent the goto act (so-called remote control goto) of illegally operating the prize ball payout control board KH. In this example, a mechanism using a relay coil is configured to enable one-way communication to the hall computer HC while preventing a goto action, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a pair of light emitting units and a pair of light emitting units are used. A photosensor having a light receiving unit also enables one-way communication (for example, the light from the light emitting unit connected to the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH is received by the hall computer HC. It should be added that the signal can be received by reading by the unit.

However, since the configuration is such that the physical signal (switch state is on / off) is temporarily replaced, the input / output on the external terminal board G is entered from the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH to the hall computer HC. It is difficult to transmit complicated information using the output terminal, and one type of information is transmitted using the one input / output terminal {For example, in the case of the output terminal for the number of times the special symbol is fixed, " It is customary to configure so that only the information that "one change of the special symbol (main game symbol) has been completed" can be transmitted. In the present embodiment, the external terminal signal can be output from the main control board M and the prize ball payout board KH, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the external terminal signal can be output only from the main control board M. It may be configured so that it can be output.

Next, the transmission signal to the external terminal plate in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 25. It should be noted that the specific contents of the signals shown in this example (numerical values, notification modes, measures at the time of duplication, etc.) are merely examples, and can be changed as long as the concept of this example is not significantly deviated. Keep it.

First, it is a signal of the symbol variation system of signal number 1; a signal for outputting the number of symbol variations related to the first main game and the second main game; The on signal is output from the timing; it is output for 0.500 seconds. Further, the signal for outputting the number of times the ball has entered the first main game start port and the second main game start port, which is the signal of the ball entry detection system of signal number 2, is; The on-signal is output from the timing when the entry of the game ball is detected or the timing when the second main game start opening entry detection device detects the game ball; after the on-signal is output for 0.500 seconds. , Outputs an off signal for 0.500 seconds. If the output start condition of the on signal different from the on signal in the output is satisfied during the output of the on signal, the different on signal is 0.500 of the off signal related to the on signal in the output. Output after waiting for the second output to finish (wait for the running output to finish). In addition, it is a big hit system signal of signal number 3; a signal that outputs that the big hit is being executed; in the case of a big hit based on a ball entering the V winning opening triggered by a small hit, the V winning opening is sent. In the case of a big hit triggered by the detection of a ball entering or the stop of the big hit symbol, the on signal is output from the timing of the start of the big hit; the on signal is output until the big hit is completed.

In addition, the signal of the jackpot system of signal number 4; the signal that outputs that the player is in a continuous villa (a state that is highly profitable for the player); , The on signal is output from the start timing of the small hit; (1) during the big hit, (2) during the time reduction game state, (3) the number of the second main game hold is not 0, (4) the second main game symbol. Is fluctuating, (5) the second main game symbol is fluctuating during the fixed time, and (6) from the start of the small hit to the end of the small hit end demo time (discharge waiting time), it is output while any of the conditions is satisfied. .. In the present embodiment, when the time-reduced game state is changed to the non-time-reduced game state (for example, when the counter value of the time-reduced number counter MP52c becomes 0 due to the fluctuation of the predetermined number of times of the main game symbol, the jackpot ends. Even if it later shifts to the non-time reduction game state, etc.), it is configured to continue to output the on signal of the signal that outputs that the villa is in a row until the number of reservations on the second main game side becomes 0. ing. With this configuration, even if a small hit or a big hit is won by the remaining hold on the second main game side after shifting from the time shortened gaming state to the non-time shortened gaming state, and then the time shortening gaming state is entered. , Can be configured so that the villas are continuing.

Further, it is a signal of the winning detection system of signal number 5; a signal that outputs that the ball has been detected in the second main game start port during the non-time reduction game state; Starts to output an on signal from the timing when the game ball is detected; after outputting an on signal for 0.500 seconds, an off signal is output for 0.500 seconds. If the output start condition of the on signal different from the on signal in the output is satisfied during the output of the on signal, the different on signal is 0.500 of the off signal related to the on signal in the output. Output after waiting for the second output to finish (wait for the running output to finish). In addition, when the second main game start port electric accessory B11d starts to open during the time-reduced game state, the entry timing is changed for the period from the opening end timing of the electric accessory to 1000 ms. No on-signal is output even in the non-time reduction game state.

In addition, it is a security system signal of signal number 6; RAM clear is executed, magnetic sensor abnormality is detected, disconnection short circuit power supply abnormality is detected, radio wave sensor abnormality is detected, vibration sensor abnormality is detected, communication line. The signals that output that an abnormality has been detected or that an abnormality sensor has been detected are: (1) the timing at which RAM clear was executed, and (2) a magnetic sensor abnormality was detected (the fraud detection flag was turned on). Timing, (3) Timing when a disconnection short circuit power supply error is detected (the fraud detection flag is turned on), (4) Timing when a radio wave sensor error is detected (the fraud detection flag is turned on), (5) Timing when a vibration sensor abnormality is detected (the flag during vibration abnormality detection is turned on), (6) Timing when a communication line abnormality is detected (when the communication line abnormality detection flag is turned on), (7) Abnormality sensor detection Is detected (the abnormality sensor detection flag is turned on), and an on signal is output from; (1) to 30,000 ms, (2), (3), (4) to power off, ( An on signal is output from 5) to 30,000 ms, (6) from (6) to off the communication line abnormality detection flag, and from (7) to 500 ms from on to the abnormality sensor detection flag. In addition, when the output start condition of the on signal different from the on signal in the output is satisfied during the output of the on signal of the signal that outputs that the abnormality sensor detection is detected corresponding to (7), The different on-signal is output after waiting until the output of the off-signal related to the on-signal in the output for 0.500 seconds is completed (waiting until the output being executed is completed).

Next, the control process executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 to 32. First, FIG. 26 is a main flowchart of the sub-control board S side (particularly, the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 3D is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after a reset such as when the power is turned on to the gaming machine. That is, when the power is turned on to the gaming machine, in step 2002, the sub-main control unit SM executes the initial process based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information). When received → Initializes the RAM on the sub side, when various information commands are received → Reset the effect-related information at the time of power failure to the RAM on the sub side). After that, the process shifts to the loop processing in which the iterative processing routine (e) of the sub-main control unit SM is repeatedly executed. Here, when (e) is executed, first, in step 2050, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM displays a right-handed instruction, which will be described later, as shown in the process of FIG. Execute control processing. Next, in step 2100, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes the hold information management process described later. Next, in step 2200, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes the decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes the decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2350, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes the V winning detection effect display control process described later. Next, in step 2400, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes the special game-related display control process described later. Next, in step 2700, the sub-game control means (sub-main control unit) SM executes the display command transmission control process (transmits the command set by these series of subroutines to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and this End the iterative processing routine.

As described above, the sub-main control unit SM adopts a form in which the sub-main side routines (S205 to S2700) are looped after being reset. Further, the process of FIG. 3F is an interrupt process of the sub-main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M described above is one terminal of the CPU of the sub-main control unit SM (in this example). , NMI terminal), this is the processing flow (f). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub-main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the sub-main control unit SM uses the command input port from the main control board M side (when the STB signal line is turned on). Check the input port of the data signal line mentioned above). Then, in step 2006, the sub-main control unit SM sends a command from the main control board M side to the RAM (for example, the main side information temporary storage means SM11b) on the sub-main control unit SM side based on the confirmation result. Is temporarily stored and returns to the processing that was being executed immediately before this interrupt processing.

Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the right-handed instruction display control process according to the subroutine of step 2050 in FIG. 26. First, in step 2052, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is the time-saving gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2052, in step 2054, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 sets a command for displaying the first right-handed instruction display and the second right-handed instruction display (in the display command transmission control process in step 2700). , Sent to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2100). The right-handed instruction display (first right-handed instruction display and second right-handed instruction display) will be displayed even during the variable fixed time (long-term variable fixed time) in the time-reduced gaming state.

On the other hand, if No in step 2052, in step 2056, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the small hit game is currently being executed. In the case of Yes in step 2056, in step 2057, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and the small hit symbol related to the small hit currently being executed is "2AK" (second large). It is a small hit symbol that the winning opening C20 is opened only once, and it is not a case designed so that the game ball does not enter the V winning opening C22 by the control operation of the distribution accessory C23 described above). Judge whether or not. If Yes in step 2057, the process proceeds to step 2054. Here, to supplement the processing, when the small hit symbol related to the small hit currently being executed is "2AK", the right-handed instruction display is not displayed, so that the small hit is for the player. While it is difficult to visually recognize whether or not it is being executed, if the small hit symbol related to the small hit currently being executed is "4AK" or "7AK", a right-handed instruction display is displayed. , It becomes easy for the player to visually recognize whether or not the small hit is executed. Even if the small hit symbol related to the small hit currently being executed is "4AK", it is designed so that the game ball does not enter the V winning opening C22 by the control operation of the distribution accessory C23 described above. In this case, when the small hit symbol related to the small hit currently being executed is "7AK" (by the control operation of the distribution accessory C23 described above, the game ball is moved to the V winning opening C22. Since the same process (process of displaying the right-handed instruction display) is executed (the case where is designed to enter the ball), the player performs right-handed hit while expecting a big hit. (A game ball is launched toward the second prize opening C20). Further, even when the small hit symbol related to the small hit currently being executed is "2AK", the right-handed instruction display may be displayed. In such a case, the right related to "2AK" may be displayed. It is desirable that the hitting instruction display is configured so as to be less visible (inconspicuous) to the player than the right-handed hitting instruction display related to other small hit symbols. Further, even if the same small hit symbol is used, the display mode of the right-handed instruction display may be different depending on the game state at the time of winning the small hit symbol. When the small hit game related to "2AK" is won in the non-time shortened game state, the hit instruction display does not execute the right hit instruction display as before the start of the small hit game, and in the time shortened game state. If the small hit game related to "2AK" is won, the first right-handed instruction display may be executed in the same manner as before the start of the small hit game, and during the small hit game related to "4AK" and "7AK". The right-handed instruction display is displayed when the player wins the small hit game related to "4AK" or "7AK" in the non-time shortened game state, as compared with the case where the right-handed instruction display is won in the time-reduced game state. It may be configured to be displayed so as to have high visibility (conspicuous) for the user. It should be noted that the visibility is a display area occupancy rate such as transparency and how much of the entire display area SG10 is occupied, and not only the visibility but also the sound and the effect light emitting mode may be different. (It may be the presence or absence of sound or directing light emission).

On the other hand, if No in step 2056 or step 2057, in step 2058, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the special game is currently being executed. In the case of Yes in step 2058, in step 2060, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 sets a command for displaying the first right-handed instruction display (in the display command transmission control process in step 2700, the sub-sub control unit SS side is set. (Transmitted), and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2100). On the other hand, if No in step 2058, in step 2062, the right-handed instruction display control means SM26 sets a command for erasing the first right-handed instruction display and the second right-handed instruction display (display command transmission control process in step 2700). (Sent to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2100).

Here, the upper right corner of the figure is a display image diagram of a right-handed instruction display. The first right-handed instruction display and the second right-handed instruction display are displayed at positions that do not overlap on the effect display device SG. In addition, the situation where the second right-handed instruction display is displayed has a larger loss of profit for the player when the right-handed person is not executed than the situation where only the first right-handed instruction display is displayed. The second right-handed instruction display is configured to be easier for the player to see (conspicuous) than the first right-handed instruction display. In this example, there are two types of right-handed instruction display (first right-handed instruction display and second right-handed instruction display), but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more types may be provided, for example, time. In the shortened game state, "shift to the time shortened game state-> fluctuation related to small hits-> start small hit game-> first opening of second large winning opening C20-> second opening of second large winning opening C20-> small hit In a series of flows of "end of", the first right-handed instruction display (display mode similar to that of the present embodiment) is displayed in the entire series of flows, and (1) at the timing of transition to the time-reduced gaming state. , The second right-handed instruction display (for example, the display mode of the red arrow pointing to the right, which is larger than the first right-handed instruction display) is displayed, and the fluctuation start timing related to the small hit (or the fluctuation related to the small hit) is displayed. The second right-handed instruction display is erased at a certain timing of, or the variable fixed time start timing related to the small hit, etc., and is larger than the third right-handed instruction display (for example, the first right-handed instruction display). The display mode of the arrow with a giraffe pattern pointing to the right) is displayed, and the third right-handed instruction display is deleted at the timing after the start of the fluctuation related to the small hit and before the start of the small hit game, and the fourth A right-handed instruction display (for example, a display mode for prompting the launch of a game ball toward the second main game start port electric accessory B11d) is displayed, and after the first opening of the second large winning opening C20, and At the timing before the second opening of the 2nd big winning opening C20, the 4th right-handed instruction display is deleted and the 5th right-handed instruction display (for example, the launch of the game ball toward the 2nd big winning opening C20 is performed. Display mode to prompt), (2) Display of a second right-handed instruction display (for example, display of a red arrow pointing to the right, which is larger than the first right-handed instruction display) at the timing of transition to the time-reduced gaming state. (Aspect) is displayed, and the second right-handed instruction is displayed at the fluctuation start timing related to the small hit (or a certain timing during the fluctuation related to the small hit, or the fluctuation fixed time start timing related to the small hit, etc.). Is deleted, and the third right-handed instruction display (for example, the display mode of the right-pointing giraffe pattern arrow, which is larger than the first right-handed instruction display) is displayed, and after the start of the fluctuation related to the small hit, and At the timing before the start of the small hit game, the third right-handed instruction display is deleted and the fourth right-handed instruction display (for example, a display notifying the player that the high-profit state continues) is displayed. , 4th right-handed instruction at the timing after the first opening of the 2nd big winning opening C20 and before the 2nd opening of the 2nd big winning opening C20 The display may be erased to display a third right-handed instruction display (for example, a display mode of a right-pointing giraffe pattern arrow that is larger than the first right-handed instruction display).

Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the pending information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. 26. First, in step 2102, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and commands (first main game symbol or second main game symbol) related to new hold generation from the main control board M side. It is determined whether or not the hold information related to the game symbol) has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 has a drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game). Add "1" to the maximum of 4 for the 2nd main game). Next, in step 2106, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 temporarily sends a command related to the new hold success / failure result and the stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. The memory is stored, and the process proceeds to step 2118.

On the other hand, if No in step 2102, in step 2111, did the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 refer to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and receive the symbol variation display start instruction command from the main control board M side? Judge whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2111, in step 2112, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing reservation counter in the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b. Next, in step 2114, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 deletes the holding information (particularly, the result of winning / failing, the stopped symbol information, the variation mode information) related to the symbol change from the drawing holding information temporary storage means SM22b. And shift the remaining pending information. Next, in step 2116, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and proceeds to step 2118. In addition, even if No in step 2111, the process proceeds to step 2118.

Next, in step 2118, the drawing reservation information display control means SM22 is placed on the effect display device SG (particularly, the first reservation display unit SG12 and the second reservation display unit SG13) in the drawing reservation information temporary storage means SM22b. The number of hold display lamps equal to the value of the drawing hold counter value of No. 1 is lit and displayed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2200). In the present embodiment, in a situation where the game progresses by mainly repeating the variable display and the stop display of the first main game symbol (under the situation where the game is a non-time shortening game), the stop display of the jackpot symbol is a special trigger. The game is mainly executed, and in a situation where the game progresses by mainly repeating the variable display and the stop display of the second main game symbol (under the situation where the game is a time-saving game), the small hit symbol Since the game is mainly a small hit game executed with the stop display as a trigger and a special game is executed with the ball entering the V winning opening C22, the first main game side and the first 2 The basic game playability is different from that of the main game side. Therefore, when the hold display lamp is lit and displayed, only the hold display on the first main game side is executed in the situation of the non-time reduction game, and the hold display on the second main game side is executed in the situation of the time reduction game. It is preferable to configure it so that only the display is executed. However, in the present embodiment, even in the situation of a non-time shortening game, if the hold on the second main game side remains, a special game triggered by a further stop display of the small hit symbol. In such a situation, only the hold display on the second main game side is executed (or the hold display on the second main game side is more visible than the hold display on the first main game side). It is more preferable to configure it so that the property is high), and the time is shortened after the big hit (the big hit related to the entry into the V winning opening C22) triggered by the small hit won in the game state is completed (or the time is shortened). When the game shifts to the non-time shortened gaming state (after the winning jackpot in the gaming state), only the hold display on the second main game side is executed (or the hold display on the second main game side is on the first main game side). It is even more preferable to configure the display so that the visibility is higher than that of the hold display). Regardless of the game state, both the hold display on the first main game side and the hold display on the second main game side may be displayed, and in such a configuration, the non-time is shortened. In the situation of a game, the hold display on the first main game side is more visible than the hold display on the second main game side, and in the situation of a time-saving game, the hold display on the second main game side is the first. It is desirable to configure it so that it is more visible than the hold display on the main game side.

Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination process according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 26. First, in step 2202, the map display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the map display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2202, in step 2204, the map display content determination means SM21n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the map display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2206, the map display content determining means SM21n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not it is currently in the time-reduced gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2206, in step 2208, the map display content determining means SM21n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the variation is a symbol variation related to the first main game symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 2208, in step 2210, the doublet display content determining means SM21n (and the advance notice effect display content determining means SM24n, the reach effect display content determining means SM25n) are temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means SM11b. With reference to the symbol information (stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol) and the lottery table SM21ta for determining the content of the change in the design, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol {for example, the stop symbol related to the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. If it is, doublet such as "7, 7, 7", if it is a lost symbol, it is a random number such as "1, 3, 5"} and the variation mode {for example, the variation related to the main game symbol. If the mode is short-term variation, non-reach, if it is long-term variation, normal reach, super reach, etc.} is determined, and the doublet display-related information temporary storage means SM21b (and the advance notice effect-related information temporary storage means). SM24b, reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b) is temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to step 2216.

On the other hand, if No in step 2208, in step 2212, the map display content determining means SM21n (and the advance notice effect display content determining means SM24n, the reach effect display content determining means SM25n) are temporarily stored in the main information temporary storage means SM11b. With reference to the stored symbol information (stop symbol / variation mode related to the main game symbol) and the lottery table SM21ta for determining the content of the design variation, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined, and the variation mode is pseudo-continuously varied (pseudo-continuous variation). 1 It is determined to be accompanied by a mode in which the temporary stop of the decorative symbol is executed a plurality of times during the fluctuation), and the design display related information temporary storage means SM21b (and the advance notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b, reach effect related information temporary storage). It is temporarily stored in the means SM25b), and the process proceeds to step 2216.

Here, the lower part of the figure is an image diagram of fluctuations accompanied by pseudo continuous fluctuations. Here, the "main variation" is a series of series from the start of the variation display of the decorative symbol for the first time to the final stop display of the decorative symbol (depending on the stop display mode) and the definitive notification of the result of success or failure. The content of the fluctuation is "pseudo-variation", which means that after starting the variable display of the decorative symbol, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed, but the result of the success or failure is not definitively notified and the new variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed. The "final pseudo-variation" is a variation to be started. After starting the variation display of the decorative symbol, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed to deterministically notify the result of success or failure, and the variation display of the decorative symbol is newly started. It is a fluctuation that does not let you. The "decorative symbol variable period" is a period during which the decorative symbol can be variablely displayed (including the start of a new variable display), and is the same as the "main variable" period. In addition, the "decorative symbol immutable period" is a period during which the decorative symbol does not start a new variable display, and the player is informed of the result of the result by the stop display mode of the decorative symbol. It is configured to further execute an effect that deterministically notifies that a big hit will occur. In addition, as shown in the figure, during the variable displayable period, the same decorative symbol effect is executed from the start of the fluctuation in the case of loss and in the case of a big hit or a small hit (temporary stop related to pseudo fluctuation). It is configured so that an effect that is executed twice is executed). In addition, the purpose of performing such pseudo-continuous fluctuation is to display a further stop display of the small hit symbol when the hold on the second main game side remains even in the situation of the non-time shortening game. Since it is a configuration that can be expected to execute a special game as an opportunity, the production is aimed at inspiring the expectation, so the stop symbol of the decorative symbol that is temporarily stopped and displayed for each pseudo fluctuation is For example, when the small hit symbol is scheduled to be stopped and displayed in the hold (or the symbol change) on the remaining second main game side, the so-called chance eye is stopped and displayed ("" It is preferable to configure a special arrangement such as "1 ・ 2 ・ 3" so that the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed with a higher probability than when the small hit symbol is not stopped and displayed). Further, the fluctuation accompanying the pseudo continuous fluctuation may be executed also in the fluctuation related to the first main game side, and in such a case, the number of pseudo continuous fluctuations is relative to the fluctuation related to the second main game side. The number of times is small, or the frequency of execution of fluctuations accompanied by pseudo continuous fluctuations is low {that is, pseudo continuous fluctuations on the first main game side occur only in the non-time shortened gaming state (or compared to the time shortened gaming state). Or, the frequency of occurrence related to the pseudo continuous fluctuation on the first main game side in the non-time shortened gaming state is the frequency of occurrence related to the pseudo continuous fluctuation on the second main game side in the non-time shortened gaming state. It is desirable to configure it to be lower than}. In addition, in the fluctuation accompanied by the pseudo continuous fluctuation related to the second main game side, if the fluctuation is a fluctuation related to a big hit or a small hit, 15 seconds before the decorative symbol changeable time elapses (for example, a pseudo fluctuation). The decorative symbol may be configured to stop at the first temporary stop timing).

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2206, in step 2214, the map display display content determining means SM21n (and the advance notice effect display content determining means SM24n, the reach effect display content determining means SM25n) continue the effect mode during the previous special game. Display mode {The decorative pattern is not displayed or is difficult to see (inconspicuous) even if it is displayed, and the number of acquired game balls displayed in the previous special game is continuously displayed. Depending on the configuration, the player recognizes that the special game is continuing even when the special game is not being executed}, and the process proceeds to step 2216.

Next, in step 2216, the map display content determination means SM21n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the map display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and performs the next process (process of step 2300). Transition. Even if No in step 2202, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2300).

Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. 26. First, in step 2302, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in step 2304, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2306, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2308, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 starts the drawing fluctuation time management timer SM21t, and proceeds to step 2310. Even if No in step 2302, the process proceeds to step 2310.

Next, in step 2310, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the symbol changing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2310, in step 2312, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the plot variation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2314, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the decorative symbol variation start timing based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the symbol display variation time management timer SM21t and the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Determine if it has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2314, in step 2316, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a variable display command for the decorative symbol (transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2700). , Step 2330.

On the other hand, if No in step 2314, in step 2318, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 is decorated based on the pattern variation time management timer SM21t and the variation mode temporarily stored in the map display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not the stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) of the symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2318, in step 2320, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a stop display command (temporary stop display command) for the decorative symbol (in the display command transmission control process in step 2700, the sub-sub control unit SS side. Will be sent to).

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2318, in step 2322, the advance notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) has the drawing variation time management timer SM21t and the advance notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and reach effect). Related information Based on the variation mode temporarily stored in the temporary storage means SM25b), it is determined whether or not the display timing of the preview image or the reach image has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2322, in step 2324, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) sets the image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (display command transmission control process in step 2700). Is transmitted to the sub-sub control unit SS side), and the process proceeds to step 2330. Even if No in step 2322, the process proceeds to step 2330.

Next, in step 2330, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 determines whether or not the main game symbol has been stopped and displayed (for example, referring to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, the main game from the main control board M side. It is determined whether or not the information that the symbol is stopped and displayed is received). In the case of Yes in step 2330, in step 2332, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a stop display command (confirmed display command) for the decorative symbol (transmits to the sub-sub control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2700). Will be). Next, in step 2334, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops and resets (zero clears) the drawing fluctuation time management timer SM21t. Next, in step 2336, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the design display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and shifts to the next process (process of step 2350). To do. Even if No in step 2310 or step 2330, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2350).

Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the V winning detection effect display control process according to the subroutine of step 2350 in FIG. 26. First, in step 2352, the V winning detection effect display control means SM27 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the V winning detection detection command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2352, in step 2354, the V winning detection effect display control means SM27 is an effect of notifying the player that the game ball has entered the V winning opening C22, and this example. Then, "V" is displayed on the effect display device SG, and a command related to the effect of turning on the V lamp V10 is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2400). On the other hand, if No in step 2352, in step 2356, the V winning detection effect display control means SM27 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a jackpot symbol stop command has been received from the main side. .. In the case of Yes in step 2356, in step 2358, the V winning detection effect display control means SM27 has entered the V winning detection effect (the game ball has entered the V winning opening C22) after a predetermined time (1 second in this example) has elapsed. This is an effect of notifying the player to that effect. In this example, a command related to the effect of displaying "V" on the effect display device SG and turning on the V lamp V10 is set, and the next process (step 2400) is set. Process). As described above, in the present embodiment, the V prize detection effect is executed even at the time of the big hit related to the main game symbol, and the consistency of the effect with the big hit related to the V prize is ensured. At the time of a big hit related to the main game symbol, since the game ball is not actually entered in the V winning opening C22, the V winning detection effect may not be executed. Even if No in step 2356, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2400).

Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the special game-related display control process according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. 26. First, in step 2402, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and determines whether or not the special game in-game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the special game start display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2404, in step 2406 and step 2408, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special game in-game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and also turns on the effect display device. The jackpot start display is displayed on the SG (displayed appropriately based on the type of jackpot), and the process proceeds to step 2412. Even if No in step 2402, the process proceeds to step 2412.

Next, in step 2412, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of acquired game balls on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side. It may be executed as needed based on the type of jackpot etc.). The number of acquired game balls displayed in this process is the total from the special game related to the first main game side in the normal game state to the digestion of all the reservations on the second main game side in the normal game state. It is the number of game balls acquired (the total number of game balls acquired during the consecutive villas).

Next, in step 2420, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 2420, in step 2421, the background effect display control means SM23 executes the jackpot end display on the effect display device SG (displays appropriately based on the type of jackpot). Next, in step 2422, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special game in-game flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2700). .. Even if No in step 2404 or step 2420, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2700).

Next, FIG. 33 is a timing chart relating to the game progress from the first main game jackpot winning in the present embodiment. In particular, the action diagram when the first main game big hit symbol is stopped in the non-time shortened game state, the special game is executed twice, and then the small hit related to the second main game is won in the non-time shortened game state. Is. In this action diagram, the variable fixed time is shown only when it is a long time (30 seconds in this example), and is not shown when it is a short time (0.2 seconds in this example). In this action diagram, it is assumed that after timing 1, the game is switched from left-handed to right-handed, and thereafter, the game ball is continuously fired by right-handed (one shot at intervals of about 0.6 seconds). ..

First, under the situation of non-time reduction game state, at the timing of 1 in the figure, the 1st main game symbol is stopped and displayed at the jackpot symbol "7A", and the 4R special game (1st big prize) A special game related to the opening of the mouth C10) is executed.

Next, at the timing 2 in the figure, the execution of the special game is completed, and the special game related to the first main game side is completed, so that the game state becomes the time-reduced game state. Next, at the timing of 3 in the figure, when the second main game symbol is stopped and displayed by the small hit symbol "BK", a long-time (30 seconds in this example) variable fixed time starts. Will be done. In the present embodiment, the maximum number (4) of the second main game hold can be almost certainly caused by the long variable fixed time.

Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the small hit game related to the stopped small hit symbol "BK" is started when the variable fixed time ends. Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, during the small hit game being executed, the game ball is stored in the distribution accessory C23 in the second big winning opening C20, and the discharge related to the small hit game being executed is discharged. During the standby time, the distribution accessory C23 operates at the second position to enter the V winning opening C22. It should be noted that the above-mentioned V winning detection effect is executed by entering the V winning opening C22. Next, at the timing of 6 in the figure, the small hit game ends, and the special game of 15R is executed when the game ball enters the V winning opening C22 during the small hit game.

Next, at the timing of 7 in the figure, the special game of 15R is completed, the special game is a special game related to the second main game, and the small hit game is won. Due to the time-reduced gaming state being the time-reduced gaming state, the gaming state becomes the non-time-reducing gaming state. In addition, the change of the second main game symbol is started.

Next, at the timing of 8 in the figure, the small hit game related to the "BK" is started when the second main game symbol is stopped and displayed on the small hit symbol "BK". Since the gaming state is a non-time shortened gaming state, the variable fixed time related to "BK" is short (0.2 seconds in this example). Next, at the timings 9 and 10 in the figure, the entry of the game ball into the V winning opening C22, the end of the small hit game, and the start of the special game are executed in the same manner as the timings of 5 and 6 in the above-mentioned figure. To.

Next, at the timing of 11 in the figure, the special game of 15R is completed, the special game is a special game related to the second main game, and the small hit game is won. Due to the fact that the gaming state at the time is the non-time shortening gaming state, the gaming state becomes the time shortening gaming state. In addition, the change of the second main game symbol is started.

Next, FIG. 34 is a timing chart related to the external terminal signal indicating the middle of the consecutive villas in the present embodiment. In the figure, it is an action diagram after the first main game jackpot symbol (7A in this example) is stopped in the non-time shortening game state.

First, at the timing 1 in the figure, the jackpot related to the first main game jackpot symbol (7A in this example) is started, and the jackpot (big hit symbol related to the first main game jackpot symbol (7A in this example)) is started. With the start of the big hit), which is the signal number 4, the output of the on signal of the external terminal signal indicating that the villa is in the villa is started. Next, at the timing 2 in the figure, the game state becomes the time-reduced gaming state when the jackpot related to the first main game jackpot symbol (7A in this example) is completed. Next, at the timing of 3 in the figure, the change of the second main game symbol is started. Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the second main game small hit symbol (BK in this example) stops as the stop symbol of the second main game symbol, and the second main game small hit symbol (in this example, in this example). The variable fixed time according to BK) is started. Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, the variable fixed time related to the second main game small hit symbol (BK in this example) ends, and the second main game small hit symbol (BK in this example) is related. A small hit is started. Next, at the timing of 6 in the figure, the execution is triggered by the game ball entering the V winning opening C22 during the execution of the small hit related to the second main game small hit symbol (BK in this example). After the end of the small hit in the middle, you will get the right to execute the big hit. Next, at the timing of 7 in the figure, the small hit related to the second main game small hit symbol (BK in this example) is completed, and in 6 in the figure, the game ball has entered the V winning opening C22. The big hit is started. Next, at the timing of 8 in the figure, the big hit is completed when the game ball enters the V winning opening C22. The number of second main game pending at the end of the jackpot is three. Next, at the timing of 9 in the figure, the second main game symbol fluctuates three times (all changes related to loss) after the end of the big hit triggered by the game ball entering the V winning opening C22, and the second The output of the ON signal of the external terminal signal indicating that the signal number 4 is in the consecutive villa due to the fact that the number of main game hold is 0 and the variable fixed time related to the second main game symbol has ended is completed. To do.

Next, FIG. 35 is a timing chart relating to an external terminal signal indicating entry into the second main game start port in the non-time reduction game state in the present embodiment.

First, at the timing 1 in the figure, the game ball enters the second main game start port B10 in the non-time shortened game state. Next, at the timing of 2 in the figure, the output of the on signal of the external terminal signal indicating the entry of the ball into the second main game start port in the non-time reduction game state, which is the signal number 5 triggered by the entry of the ball in the figure 1. To start. The on signal will be output for 500 ms. Next, at the timing of 3 in the figure, the output of the on signal ends when 500 ms has elapsed from the output of the on signal being output. Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the game state becomes the time-reduced game state (although not shown, the game state shifts to the time-reduced game state triggered by the big hit). Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, the game ball enters the second main game start port B10 in the time-reduced game state, but since the game state is not the non-time-reduced game state, the signal number 5 The ON signal of the external terminal signal is not output. Next, at the timing of 6 in the figure, the time-reduced game state ends (although not shown, the time-reduced game state is triggered when the number of fluctuations of the main game symbol after the end of the big hit reaches the specified number of times. It's finished). Next, at the timing of 7 in the figure, the opening time of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d, which has started to be opened in the time-reduced game state, ends. In this example, the game ball that has entered the second main game start port B10 within 1000 ms from the end of opening of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d that has started to open in the time-reduced game state. , The on signal of the external terminal signal of the signal number 5 is not output, that is, it is configured so as not to be regarded as an abnormal entry in the non-time reduction gaming state.

Next, at the timing of 8 in the figure, the game ball enters the second main game start port B10 (the second main game start port entry detection device B11s detects the entry of the game ball), as described above. As described above, since the timing is before 1000 ms has elapsed from the end of opening of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d which has started to be opened in the time-reduced game state, the ON signal of the external terminal signal of signal number 5 is not output. Next, at the timing of 9 in the figure, 1000 ms has passed from the end of opening of the second main game start port electric accessory B11d which started to open in the time-reduced game state, so that the game ball is subsequently moved to the second main game start port B10. When the ball enters, the ON signal of the external terminal signal of signal number 5 is output. Next, at the timing of 10 in the figure, the game ball enters the second main game start port B10, and at the timing of 11 in the figure, the external terminal signal of signal number 5 is turned on, triggered by the entry of the game ball. The signal is started to be output. Next, at the timing of 12 in the figure, the output of the on signal ends when 500 ms has elapsed from the output of the on signal being output. Next, at the timing of 12 in the figure, the game ball enters the second main game start port B10, but 500 ms has not passed since the on signal whose output was started at the timing of 11 in the figure was output. Therefore, the output of the on signal related to the entry of the game ball at the timing of FIG. 12 is postponed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the on signal of the next external terminal signal of signal number 5 is not started to be output until 500 ms has elapsed after the on signal of the external terminal signal of signal number 5 is output. If the output condition of the next on-signal is satisfied before the elapse of 500 ms, the output of the next on-signal is started after the elapse of 500 ms. Next, at the timing of 13 in the figure, the output of the on signal that has been postponed by entering the second main game start port B10 is started at the timing of FIG. In the present embodiment, when the game ball enters the second main game start port B10 in the non-time shortened game state, the ON signal of the external terminal signal having the signal number 5 can be output. However, the external terminal signal is received when a game ball enters the second main game start port B10 while the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is closed, or when the game ball enters the second main game start port B10, or when the second main game start port is used. It is configured so that it can be output even when a game ball enters the second main game start port B10 in a state where the entry into the B10 is invalid. With this configuration, the game ball enters the second main game start port B10 while the second main game start port electric accessory B11d is opened when the auxiliary game symbol is won in the non-time shortened game state. Even when the ball is hit, the ON signal of the external terminal signal, which is the signal number 5, can be output, and the second main game start port electric accessory B11d remains closed in the non-time reduction game state. As a result, even when the game ball enters the second main game start port B10, the ON signal of the external terminal signal, which is the signal number 5, can be output.

Next, FIG. 36 is a timing chart relating to the external terminal signal of the security system in the present embodiment.

First, at the timing 1 in the figure, the power of the game is turned on, RAM clear is executed, the communication line abnormality detection flag is turned on (communication line abnormality is detected), and the outside of the security system having signal number 6 is used. The on signal of the terminal signal starts to be output. As described above, in the present embodiment, the communication line abnormality is always detected when the power of the gaming machine is turned on. Next, at the timing 2 in the figure, the communication line abnormality detecting flag is turned off (the communication line abnormality is cleared). In the present embodiment, when the ON signal of signal number 6 is output when the communication line abnormality is detected, the ON signal is the output until the communication line abnormality is cleared, and the power is turned on. When the RAM clear is executed, the ON signal of the signal number 6 for a period of 30,000 ms is output from the RAM clear. Therefore, at the timing 2 in the figure, the output end condition of the on signal of signal number 6 related to the communication line abnormality is satisfied, but the output end condition of the on signal of signal number 6 related to RAM clear is satisfied. Since there is no signal (30000 ms has not passed), the ON signal of signal number 6 is continuously output. Next, at the timing of 3 in the figure, since 30,000 ms has elapsed since the power of the game was turned on and the RAM was cleared, the output of the on signal of signal number 6 was terminated.

Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the vibration abnormality detecting flag is turned on (vibration abnormality is detected), and the ON signal of the security system external terminal signal of signal number 6 starts to be output. Next, at the timing of 5 in the figure, the output of the on signal being output ends when 30,000 ms has elapsed from the off of the vibration abnormality detection flag (security which is the signal number 6 related to the vibration abnormality). The ON signal of the external terminal signal of the system ends output 30,000 ms after the vibration abnormality is released). In the present embodiment, when an abnormality such as a communication line abnormality or a vibration abnormality that hinders the fair progress of the game occurs, the ON signal of the external terminal signal is relatively long (in this example,). It is configured to output 30,000 ms).

Next, at the timing of 6 in the figure, the abnormality sensor detection flag is turned on (abnormal entry passage time, 2nd start opening invalid prize, 1st big prize opening abnormal prize, 2nd big prize opening abnormal prize, V winning opening invalid Either passage, invalid passage of the discharge ball, or an abnormality of excess discharge ball is detected), and the ON signal of the external terminal signal of the security system, which is signal number 6, starts to be output. The on signal will be output for 500 ms. Next, at the timing of 7 in the figure, the vibration sensor detection flag is turned on again, and the ON signal of the security system external terminal signal, which is the signal number 6, starts to be output. Next, at the timing of 8 in the figure, the vibration sensor detection flag is turned on again, but since the on signal that started output at the timing of 7 in the figure has not passed 500 ms since the output was completed, FIG. The output of the ON signal related to the ON of the abnormality sensor detection flag at the timing is postponed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the signal related to the on of the next abnormality sensor detection flag is turned on until 500 ms has elapsed from the end of the output of the on signal of the external terminal signal of the signal number 6 related to the on of the abnormality sensor detection flag. It is configured so that the on signal of the external terminal signal of No. 6 is not started to be output, and if the output condition of the on signal related to the on of the next abnormality sensor detection flag is satisfied before the elapse of 500 ms, the 500 ms elapses. After that, the output of the next ON signal is started.

Next, at the timing of 9 in the figure, the fraud detection flag is turned on (a disconnection short circuit abnormality, an illegal radio wave abnormality, or an illegal magnetic abnormality is detected), and the ON signal of the security system external terminal signal which is signal number 6 is turned on. Starts output. Next, at the timing of 10 in the figure, the fraud detection flag is turned off when the power is cut off, and the output of the on signal related to the fraud detection flag ends. Next, at the timing of 11 in the figure, the power is turned on again and the communication line abnormality detection flag is turned on (communication line abnormality is detected), and the on signal of the security system external terminal signal which is signal number 6 is turned on. Output starts. Next, at the timing of 12 in the figure, the communication line abnormality detecting flag is turned off (the communication line abnormality is released), and the output of the on signal related to the communication line abnormality detecting flag ends.

With the above configuration, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is configured so that when a small hit is won, a big hit triggered by the small hit is started, and the non-time shortening gaming state is established. In a gaming machine in which the consecutive villas are continued by winning a small hit in the remaining hold of the second main game side (the second main game hold that occurred in the time-shortened game state), the second main game side By continuing to output the on signal of signal number 4, which is an external terminal signal indicating that the pachinko machine is in a continuous villa, the output mode of the external terminal signal appropriate for playability can be obtained. It can be realized. Further, in the non-time shortened game state, the on-signal of the signal number 5 is output when the game ball enters the second main game start port B10, which is configured so that the game ball is difficult to enter. However, in the case where the second main game start port electric accessory B11d starts to open in the time shortened game state and becomes a non-time shortened game state during the opening, the second main game start port is opened. By configuring so that the ON signal of signal number 5 is not output even if the game ball enters B10, the second main game start port B10 in the non-time reduction game state that may occur when actually playing the game. It is possible to configure the ball to enter the game ball so that it is not regarded as abnormal, and it is possible to realize an output mode of an external terminal signal suitable for game playability.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the small hit winning probability related to the second main game is set to a high probability (about 1/6 in this example), and during the small hit game, the V winning opening C22 It is configured so that the game ball can almost certainly enter the ball, and the game state after the special game related to the small hit is determined based on the game state at the time of winning the small hit related to the second main game. By doing so, first, when the big hit related to the first main game is won, in the time shortened game state after the end of the big hit, "small hit related to the second main game → special game related to V winning opening C22". The second main game hold, which has been generated up to the maximum number (4 in this example) in the time-reduced game state, is non-time after the end of the special game related to the V winning opening C22. By being digested in the shortened game state, a new winning of "small hit related to the second main game-> special game related to V winning opening C22" can be automatically expected. That is, every time a small hit is won before all the reservations related to the second main game remaining in the non-time shortened game state are exhausted, the player is given two big hits. It will be possible to realize a novel playability.

The gaming machine in this example may be configured to have a real-time clock RTC in the sub-main control unit SM that keeps the current time clocked by the built-in power supply. Here, the real-time clock RTC is a mechanism for measuring time, which is provided on the base of the sub-main control unit SM. The real-time clock RTC has a built-in power supply (battery) that is independent of the board, and keeps time even when power is not supplied to the game machine. Therefore, the date and time set at the time of shipment from the factory, etc. It is possible to supply the current date and time based on.

Further, in the present embodiment, during the special game won in the time-reduced game state (or non-time-reduced game state), a predetermined number (for example, 3) or more of small hits are won in the second main game hold. If there is a hold scheduled to be played, it is almost certain that the special game will be executed multiple times after the end of the special game during the execution of the special game (small hit in the non-time reduction game state). It may be configured to be able to execute an effect of notifying the player of the effect (holding), and the effect uses, for example, a real-time clock RTC to notify the player of the date and time when the effect is started. As a result, it is possible to further strengthen the feeling that the production, which has a low frequency of appearance and the acquisition of a large number of balls is almost confirmed, has been assigned at the current timing. The effect may be executed when there is a hold scheduled to win a predetermined number (for example, 3) or more of small hits in the second main game hold, but the effect may be executed in the second main game hold. It is desirable to configure it so that it will not be executed when there is a hold scheduled to win a predetermined number (for example, 3) or more jackpots. Further, since the gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which a plurality of special games can be continuously executed when a small hit is won, a large hit is made in the second main game hold during the execution of the special game. When there is a hold that becomes, the effect of notifying the existence of the hold may be configured not to be executed.

In addition, since the gaming machine according to this example always executes right-handed hitting (does not switch to left-handed hitting) in a state of high profit, a right-handed hitting dedicated button (a game ball while pressing the button) is attached to the firing handle D44. Is always fired at maximum intensity regardless of the degree of twist of the firing handle D44).

In the gaming machine according to this example, the time saving limiter (the upper limit of the number of consecutive winnings of the special game in the time shortening game state is set, and after the execution of the special game that reaches the number of times is completed, the non-time saving game state is set. ) Is provided, and if a small hit is won due to fluctuations related to the second main game hold in the non-time shortened game state, the game is such that the execution of three or more special games is almost promised at the subsequent timing. May be good.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the game ball does not enter the V winning opening C22 during the execution of the small hit game won during the time reduction game state, the V winning detection effect is not executed and the said It may be configured to execute an effect different from the V prize detection effect (for example, an effect having a disappointing atmosphere). In addition, when the game ball enters the second large winning opening C20 at the first opening (the V winning opening C22 does not enter) during the execution of the small hit game won during the time reduction game state, the first V The winning detection effect may be executed, and then the second V winning detection effect may be executed when the game ball enters the V winning opening C22 by opening the second large winning opening C20 for the second time or later. The first V prize detection effect and the second V prize detection effect are configured so that the second prize detection effect has higher visibility (conspicuous).

Further, in this example (particularly in the present embodiment), the period advantageous for the player (the section in which the number of balls can be continuously increased) is the first main game side that is elected in the non-time reduction game state. This series of periods is a series of periods from the start of execution of the special game related to the above to the transition to the non-time shortened game state after the end of the special game and the absence of the second main game hold. In order to output to the hall computer HC that is continuing, first, a predetermined external signal (so-called external signal) is set from the start timing of the special game related to the first main game side won in the non-time reduction game state. The signal output from one terminal on the terminal board) is turned on (and kept on thereafter), and after that, after the end of the special game, the game shifts to the non-time shortened game state, and the second main game hold no longer exists. It is preferable to configure the device so that the predetermined external signal is turned off at the timing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the time reduction game state is configured to end at the end of the fluctuation when the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c becomes 0, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the final in the time reduction game state is not limited to this. If a small hit is won due to fluctuations (the 100th change in the main game symbol since the end of the previous special game), the time is shortened until the end of the small hit game (or the elapse of the discharge waiting time related to the small hit game). May be configured so that does not end. With such a configuration, if a small hit is won at the time of the final fluctuation and the ball enters the V winning opening C22 during the subsequent small hit game, the time is shortened for the special game generated based on the winning ball. It can be treated as a special game that occurs in a game state.

It should be noted that the description relating to the features of the various inventions described in the present invention is not limited to the embodiment or modification relating to the description location relating to the feature, and is applied to any of the described embodiments or modifications. There is no problem.
