2. 2. Functional block of the gaming machine FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of the present embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub board 102 include various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), hardware such as RAM, and hardware. It is realized by software consisting of a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

The main board 100 includes a passage gate sensor 104, a first start winning opening sensor 106 (first detection means / detection means), a second start winning opening sensor 108 (first detection means / detection means), and a specific area sensor 112 (first detection means / detection means). 2 detection means), normal area sensor 114 (second detection means), payout sensor 116, and other input means, perform various calculations to execute the game, and based on the calculation results, the state. The operation of the output means such as the display drive device 120, the ordinary accessory drive device 122, the special accessory drive device 124, the special accessory drive device 128, and the payout device 130 is controlled.

Further, the sub-board 102 receives a signal sent from the main board 100 and an input signal from the effect button switch 150, performs various operations for executing an effect according to the progress of the game, and the calculation result. Based on the above, the operation of the effect device 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, the effect object drive device 174, and the effect button vibration device 175 is controlled.

The main board 100 includes a random number generation means 210, a normal lottery means 220, a normal display control means 222, a normal accessory control means 224, a special lottery means 230, a special display control means 240, a game state transition control means 250, and a special game execution. The means 260, the payout control means 270, the communication control means 280, and the main memory 290 are included.

The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating a random number value for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator that generates a hardware random number or a program that generates a software random number. The software random number can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate in a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the "random number value" is not only a value that randomly occurs in a mathematical sense, but also that the generation itself is regular, but the acquisition timing and the like are irregular, so that it is practical. Also includes values that can function as random numbers.

The ordinary lottery means 220 acquires a random number value for ordinary lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the passing gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the passing gate 48 one by one. It is stored in the ordinary random number storage means 2912 of the main memory 290, and a normal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the normal lottery random number value read from the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is a normal hit.

Specifically, the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is provided with four ordinary hold storage areas 1 to 4 as ordinary hold storage areas 1 to ordinary hold storage areas 4 as storage areas for storing the acquired random number values for ordinary lottery. One ordinary hold storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the random number value for ordinary lottery read from the area 1 and performing the ordinary lottery until the variation display and the stop display of the ordinary symbol are completed. Then, when the ordinary lottery random number value is acquired from the random number generating means 210, the ordinary lottery means 220 acquires the ordinary lottery random number value in a state where the ordinary lottery random number value is not stored in any of the ordinary hold storage area 1 to the ordinary hold storage area 4. First, the random number value for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary hold storage area 1. When the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1, if the normal symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area. If not, the normal lottery random number value is immediately read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random number value obtained by the normal lottery is stored in the normal hold storage area. On the other hand, when the normal symbol is in the variable display or the stop display, that is, when the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area, the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1. Withhold.

Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random number value is acquired in the state where the normal lottery random number value is held in the normal hold storage area 1, the normal lottery means 220 is used. , On the condition that the number of normal lottery random numbers held in the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of normal hold is less than 4. The normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area which is the normal hold storage area in which the normal lottery random number value is not held and the ordinal number is the smallest among the normal hold storage areas 1 to the normal hold storage area 4.

Then, when the fluctuation display and the stop display of the normal symbol are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random value stored in the normal hold storage area, and the normal lottery random value is set in the normal hold storage area 1. When it is on hold, the normal lottery random number value is read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random number value obtained by the normal lottery is stored in the normal hold storage area. Here, when the normal lottery random number value remains after the normal hold storage area 2, the remaining normal lottery random number value is the normal hold storage area whose ordinal number is one smaller than the original normal hold storage area. Move to. For example, when the normal lottery random value remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, it is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

In this way, in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, the random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is performed is held up to one in the ordinary hold storage area, and the random number value for the ordinary lottery in which the ordinary lottery is not performed is stored in the ordinary hold storage. Up to 4 items are reserved in the area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4.

The details of the ordinary lottery will be described below. The ordinary lottery means 220 performs ordinary hit determination processing, ordinary variation pattern determination processing, and the like as ordinary lottery.

The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not a normal hit is correct. In the ordinary winning determination process, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to which of the plurality of types of ordinary lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the game state.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910, and in each ordinary lottery table, each of the 100 ordinary lottery random numbers from 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hits or misses are associated. In detail, in the ordinary lottery table A, the correspondence between the ordinary hit or the loss and a plurality of random values is set so that the ordinary hit is won with a probability of about 1/20, and in the ordinary lottery table B, about 19 / The correspondence between the normal hit or loss and the normal lottery random value of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal hit is won with a probability of 20. Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 selects the ordinary lottery table A when the gaming state is neither the probabilistic state nor the time saving state, and selects the ordinary lottery table B when the gaming state is the probabilistic changing state or the time saving state. ..

Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 refers to the selected ordinary lottery table and determines whether or not one ordinary lottery random number value read from the ordinary hold storage area 1 of the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal hit. By judging, it is judged whether or not the normal hit is won.

Then, the ordinary lottery means 220 sets the ordinary winning winning flag to the ON state in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the ordinary winning is won, and when the ordinary winning is lost, the ordinary winning is won. Set the flag to the OFF state.

The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of a plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol should be according to the gaming state. In the normal fluctuation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol to the normal fluctuation pattern 1 when the game state is neither the probability change state nor the time reduction state, and the game state is the probability change state or the time reduction state. In some cases, the variation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2.

The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs the normal symbol display control process and the normal hold display control process.

In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 until the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol determined in the normal fluctuation pattern determination process elapses. By doing so, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 depending on whether or not the normal hit is won in the normal hit determination process. , The result of the ordinary lottery is displayed on the ordinary symbol display unit 72.

In detail, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, there is no first half fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the first fluctuation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won, and the first half fluctuation pattern 2 has 0 to 5 seconds. A relatively short fluctuation time is set, and the first half fluctuation pattern 3 to the first half fluctuation pattern 7 that can be determined by the first fluctuation pattern determination process of both the case where the jackpot is not won and the case where the jackpot is won are from 10 seconds. A relatively long fluctuation time of 30 seconds is set.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the reachless variation pattern 1 to the reachless variation pattern 3 that can be determined by the second variation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won have relatively short variations of 1 to 5 seconds. The time is set, and the reach variation patterns 1 to 5 that can be determined by the second variation pattern determination process of both the case where the jackpot is not won and the case where the jackpot is won are compared from 20 seconds to 60 seconds. A long fluctuation time is set.

Therefore, even if the jackpot is not won, the first half fluctuation pattern 3 to the first half fluctuation pattern 7 in which the relatively long fluctuation time is set are determined in the first fluctuation pattern determination process, and the second fluctuation pattern determination is performed. When the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5 in which a relatively long variation time is set are determined in the process, the player can have a feeling of expectation of winning the jackpot.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is not won, the game state is the normal state, and the number of holdings is 0 to 1, the variable group lottery table A shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process. In the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table B or the first variation pattern lottery table C shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and the variation time is easily determined. The first half fluctuation pattern 1 set to 3 seconds and the first half fluctuation pattern 2 set to the fluctuation time of 5 seconds are easily determined, and in the second fluctuation pattern determination process, the second fluctuation pattern lottery shown in FIG. 10 is performed. With reference to the table B or the second fluctuation pattern lottery table C, it is easy to determine the reachless fluctuation pattern 2 in which the fluctuation time is set to 2 seconds and the reachless fluctuation pattern 3 in which the fluctuation time is set to 5 seconds. Become.

Further, when the jackpot is not won, the game state is the normal state, and the number of holdings is 2 to 3, the variable group lottery table B shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process, and the group 1 is used. Alternatively, since the group 2 is easily determined, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A or the first variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and the variation time is set to 0 seconds. It becomes easier to determine the first half fluctuation pattern 1 without the first half fluctuation pattern or the fluctuation time is set to 3 seconds, and in the second fluctuation pattern determination process, the second fluctuation pattern lottery table A or the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 2 The variation pattern lottery table B is referred to, and it becomes easy to determine the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second and the reachless variation pattern 2 in which the variation time is set to 2 seconds.

Further, when the jackpot is not won, the game state is the normal state, and the number of holdings is 4 to 7, the variable group lottery table C shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process, and the group 1 In the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and it is easy to determine that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. Therefore, in the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 1 whose variation time is set to 1 second can be easily determined.

Further, when the big hit is not won and the game state is a probable change state or a time saving state, the variable group lottery table D shown in FIG. 7 is referred to in the variable group determination process regardless of the number of holdings, and the group 0 is displayed. By facilitating the determination, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and it becomes easy to determine that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 1 whose variation time is set to 1 second can be easily determined.

Therefore, if the jackpot is not won, the larger the number of holdings in the normal state, the shorter the fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is possible to increase the frequency of arrival of execution opportunities. Further, in the probabilistic state or the time saving state, a shorter fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings, so that the frequency of execution of the special lottery arrives. Can be made higher.

Further, as described above, the special lottery means 230 has the first special random number value from the special random number storage means 2914 when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not in the variable display and the gaming state is not the special gaming state. Alternatively, the second special random number value is read out, and a big hit determination process, a symbol determination process, a variation group determination process, a first variation pattern determination process, a second variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed as a special lottery. When storing the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern determination process, etc. are performed as the preliminary determination process. Perform (preliminary judgment means).

In detail, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) is a random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106 or the second starting winning opening sensor 108. When a numerical value is acquired, it is stored as a first special random number value in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area. Before storing as the second special random number value in any of 4, the jackpot determination process and the symbol determination as the preliminary determination process for the first special random number value or the second special random number value according to the game state and the number of holdings at that time. Processing, variation group determination process, first variation pattern determination process, second variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed.

Then, the special lottery means 230 preliminarily obtains a pre-determination result including the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, and the second variation pattern determination process as the pre-determination process. One of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 1 in association with the first special random number value or the second special random number value that is the target of the determination process. -Store in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4.

The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and is a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special hold display control. Processing, the second special hold display control processing is performed.

The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the special display control means 240 is the first. The first special symbol until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the fluctuation pattern determination process and the fluctuation time according to the second half fluctuation pattern determined by the second fluctuation pattern determination process elapses. After the first special symbol is variablely displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in a predetermined mode. Let me.

In the present embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is predetermined corresponding to each of the two types of jackpot symbols and the loss, and the special display control means 240 determines whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process. The first by turning on the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in the corresponding mode and in the mode corresponding to the jackpot symbol determined by the symbol determination process when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process. The special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76.

The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the special display control means 240 is the first. The second special symbol until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the fluctuation pattern determination process and the fluctuation time according to the second half fluctuation pattern determined by the second fluctuation pattern determination process elapses. After the second special symbol is variablely displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 in a predetermined mode. Let me.

The special display control means 240 has an embodiment according to whether or not a jackpot has been won in the jackpot determination process, and if a jackpot has been won in the jackpot determination process, an embodiment according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process. Then, the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 is turned on to stop and display the second special symbol, and the second special symbol display unit 80 displays the result of the special lottery.

In the first special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 lights two lamps of the first special hold display unit 78 according to the number of first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, by combining turning off or blinking, 0 to 4 first special hold numbers are displayed.

In the second special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 lights two lamps of the second special hold display unit 82 according to the number of the second special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, by combining turning off or blinking, 0 to 4 second special hold numbers are displayed.

As shown in FIG. 12, the game state transition control means 250 shifts the game state between the normal state, the special game state, the probabilistic state, and the time saving state based on the establishment of the predetermined transition condition. I do. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are set, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the special gaming state. Then, in the normal state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table A in which the winning probability of the normal hit is set to about 1/20, and the big hit lottery table A in which the winning probability of the big hit is set to about 1/319. A special lottery will be held with reference to.

In the normal state, the winning probability of a normal win in the normal lottery is as low as about 1/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as long as 20 seconds, and the period in which the normal character 52 is in the expanded state is 0.1 seconds. Since it is shortened, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 50.

The special game state is started based on winning a big hit in a special lottery in a normal state, a probable change state, and a time saving state, and a special game of a predetermined number of rounds (number of executions) is executed according to the type of the big hit symbol. It ends when it is done.

Specifically, when the special gaming state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16th round symbol A is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special gaming of 16 rounds from the first round to the 16th round is executed. The special game state ends on the condition that it is done.

In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16th round symbol B is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of 16 rounds from the first round to the 16th round is executed. The special game state ends on condition of.

Here, the game state transition control means 250 sets a special flag in the flag storage means 2916 when the specific area sensor 112 that detects the game balls passing through the specific area 64 one by one detects the passage of the game balls in the special game state. It is set to the ON state, and if the special flag is set to the ON state at the end of the special game state, the probability change state is started and the special flag is set to the OFF state. On the other hand, if the special flag is set to the OFF state when the special game state ends because the specific area sensor 112 does not detect the passage of the game ball in the special game state, the time saving state is started.

The probabilistic state is a special game state when the special flag is set to the ON state at the end of the special game state, that is, on condition that even one game ball has passed through the specific area 64 in the special game state. It is started when the game is completed, and it is possible to shift from the probable change state to the special game state and the normal state. Then, in the probabilistic state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the winning probability of the normal hit is set to about 19/20, and the big hit lottery table B in which the winning probability of the big hit is set to about 1/175. In that a special lottery is held with reference to, it is more advantageous to the player than the normal state. Then, the probabilistic state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probable change state reaches 9999 times, and the state is shifted to the normal state.

Specifically, when the special game state ends, the game state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 9999) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 9999 times) to the probability change end determination counter 2930 of the main memory 290, and the probability change. Every time a special lottery is performed in the state, the decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the probability change end determination counter 2930. Then, when the stored value of the probability change end determination counter 2930 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the probability change state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the probabilistic state, the winning probability of the big hit in the special lottery is set to about 1/175, so that the special gaming state is started before the number of times the special lottery is performed in the probabilistic state reaches 9999 times, and the special game state is started from the probable change state. There is almost no transition to the normal state.

And in the probabilistic state, the winning probability of normal winning in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the period in which the normal character 52 is in the expanded state is as long as 20 seconds. Therefore, it is advantageous for the player in that it is easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

Further, in the probabilistic state, a shorter fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings, so that the special lottery execution opportunity comes more frequently than in the normal state. It is designed to do.

The time saving state is special when the special flag is set to the OFF state at the end of the special game state, that is, on the condition that no game ball has passed through the specific area 64 in the special game state. It starts when the game state ends, and it is possible to shift from the time saving state to the special game state and the normal state.

Then, in the time-saving state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the normal winning probability is set to about 19/20 as in the probabilistic state, but the jackpot winning probability is about the same as in the normal state. The special lottery is performed with reference to the jackpot lottery table A set to 1/319, which is more disadvantageous to the player than the probability change state.

Then, the time saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery is performed in the time saving state reaches 100 times, and the state is shifted to the normal state. In detail, the game state transition control means 250 has a value corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 times) in the time reduction end determination counter 2932 of the main memory 290, triggered by the transition of the game state to the time reduction state. For example, 100) is written, and every time a special lottery is performed in the time saving state, a decrement update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games played once is subtracted from the stored value of the time saving end determination counter 2932. Then, when the stored value of the time saving end determination counter 2932 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the time saving state is terminated.

And in the time saving state, as in the probabilistic state, the winning probability of the normal winning in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the normal character 52 is in the expanded state. Is as long as 20 seconds, which is advantageous to the player in that it is easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

Further, in the time saving state, as in the probabilistic state, a shorter fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings, so that the special lottery is performed more than in the normal state. Execution opportunities are coming frequently.

Further, every time the game state transition control means 250 wins a big hit with the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery, the value corresponding to the number of times the 16-round symbol A is won for one time in the storage value of the limit counter 2935 of the main memory 290 ( For example, when an increment update is performed to add 1) and a big hit is won in the 16-round symbol B in the special lottery, or when the time saving state ends (the game state shifts to the normal state), the memory of the limit counter 2935 is stored. Reset the value to the initial value.

When the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3) (when the number of specific results reaches a predetermined number of times), the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is shortened (first game). The game state is different from both the state and the second game state), and the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is reset to the initial value. That is, in the present embodiment, when the storage value of the limit counter 2935 is the upper limit value (for example, 3) at the end of the special gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is irrespective of the setting state of the special flag. Is set to the time saving state, and when the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is not the upper limit value (for example, 3) at the end of the special gaming state (when the specified number of big hits has not reached the predetermined number of times), the special flag is set. The game state is set according to the set state, and if the special flag is set to the ON state, the game state after the end of the special game state is set to the probability change state, and the special flag is set to the OFF state. In that case, the game state after the end of the special game state is set to the time saving state. In this way, when the special flag is set to the ON state at the end of the special game state, the probabilistic state is started in principle, but when the special flag is set to the ON state at the end of the special game state. Even so, when the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is the upper limit value (for example, 3), the gaming state is set to the time saving state without being set to the probabilistic state.

Here, in the present embodiment, in the probabilistic state, it is easy to allow the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50 as described above, and when the game ball enters the second starting winning opening 50, a special lottery is performed. If you win the jackpot with, the jackpot symbol (the winning type of the jackpot) is always determined to be the 16-round symbol A, so once you win the jackpot with the 16-round symbol A, the jackpot winning with the 16-round symbol A will be won in the subsequent games. As a general rule, it is possible to obtain twice, and when the storage value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value by winning the jackpot of 16 round symbol A three times including the first winning, after the end of the special gaming state. The game state is set to the time saving state, and a series of advantageous situations for the player (a situation in which the probability of winning the jackpot is high) that continues from the winning of the jackpot of the first 16 round symbol A ends.

The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs the special game execution process 1 to the special game execution process 2.

The special game execution process 1 is a process for executing a special game of the 16-round symbol A, and is executed based on the fact that the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery. As the upper limit of the round counter 2933, a value (for example, 16) corresponding to 16 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the 16-round symbol A, and the special accessory 56 operates in a predetermined manner in each round. Every time the operation is completed, an increment update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round is added to the stored value of the round counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state ends.

In detail, in the special game execution process 1, in the round game of each round from the first round to the 16th round, as a predetermined operation, the opening timer 2934 sets 29 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened. When the normal area sensor 114 that counts or detects the passage of one game ball passing through the specific area sensor 112 or the normal area 66 one by one, the value corresponding to one game ball (for example). When the value of the large winning number counter 2936 to which 1) is added reaches the upper limit value (for example, 9), the drive control of the special bonus drive device 124 is performed so that the special bonus 56 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

Further, in the special game execution process 1, the special game execution means 260 opens the special character 56 and the special character 68 as a predetermined operation in the third round round game (specific round game). Is opened, the special accessory 56 is closed, and the special accessory 68 is closed, so that the drive control of the special accessory drive device 128 is performed. In the special game execution process 1, the special character 68 is not opened in the round games of each of the first round to the second round and the fourth round to the sixteenth round. As described above, in the special game execution process 1, in the round game of the third round, in order to open the specific area 64 from the opening state to the closed state of the special accessory 56, the game is played in the specific area 64. The ball can easily enter.

The special game execution process 2 is a process for executing a special game of the 16-round symbol B, and is executed based on the fact that the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol B in the special lottery. As the upper limit of the round counter 2933, a value (for example, 16) corresponding to 16 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds, is set for the 16-round symbol B, and the special accessory 56 operates in a predetermined manner in each round. Every time the above is completed, an increment update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round is added to the stored value of the round counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state ends.

In detail, in the special game execution process 2, in the round game of each round from the first round to the 16th round, as a predetermined operation, the opening timer 2934 sets 29 seconds after the special accessory 56 is opened. When counting or the value of the large winning number counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 9), the drive control of the special bonus drive device 124 is performed so that the special bonus 56 is closed. Then, assuming that the end condition for one round is satisfied, "1" is added to the value of the round counter 2933.

Further, in the special game execution process 2, the special game execution means 260 opens the special character 56 and the special character 68 as a predetermined operation in the third round round game (specific round game). Is opened, and 0.1 seconds after the special accessory 68 is opened, the drive control of the special accessory drive device 128 is performed so that the special accessory 68 is closed. In the special game execution process 2, the special character 68 is not opened in the round games of each of the first round to the second round and the fourth round to the sixteenth round. In this way, in the special game execution process 2, in the round game of the third round, only 0.1 seconds are specified after the game ball can enter the large winning opening 54 due to the opening of the special accessory 56. Since the area 64 is not opened, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the specific area 64 even if the player properly launches the game ball.

The payout control means 270 is input with a detection signal from the first start winning opening sensor 106, a detection signal from the second starting winning opening sensor 108, a detection signal from the specific area sensor 112, and a detection signal from the normal area sensor 114. Based on this, control is performed so that the payout device 130 pays out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls for each detection signal. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command to make the payout device 130 pay out three game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects the winning of one game ball, and the second Every time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects the winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 sends a command to pay out three game balls, and the specific area sensor 112 or the normal area sensor 114 has one. Every time a winning game ball is detected, a command for paying out 14 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted.

The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls to be paid out as instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank for storing game balls, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor to control the number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. Further, the payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates every time one game ball is paid out, and the payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on the payout signal from the payout sensor 116. It is possible to manage the number of game balls issued.

The communication control means 280 controls to transmit various commands generated according to various calculation results on the main board 100 to the sub board 102. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication connection is made so that information cannot be transmitted.

Subsequently, the sub-board 102 will be described. The sub-board 102 includes an effect control means 300 (display control means) and a sub-memory 310.

The staging control means 300 includes various commands transmitted from the main board 100, an input signal from the staging button switch 150 (operation detecting means) for detecting that an operation for the staging button 26 has been performed, and a sub memory 310. Based on the staging data stored in the staging data storage means 3110, the staging display device 170 is controlled to turn on or blink the front frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38, or display the staging image on the liquid crystal display 32. , The sound device 172 is controlled to output the effect sound from the speaker 14, the effect object drive device 174 is driven to operate the effect object, and the effect button vibration device 175 is driven to vibrate the effect button 26. By controlling the effect device 176, the effect device 176 is made to perform an effect for enlivening the game or assisting the game.

In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect control means 300 stores one frame (1 /) based on these effect image data. An image is drawn in the frame buffer 3114 of the sub memory 310 every 60 seconds), and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, so that the liquid crystal display 32 reproduces and displays the moving image.

Then, the effect control means 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as processes for causing the effect device 176 to execute the effect.

In the state effect processing, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 or displays the background image according to the current game state based on the game state on the main board 100 and the command according to the value of the counter. By changing or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14, an effect suggesting the current game state to the player is executed.

For example, when the current gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the staging control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display a probabilistic state image indicating that the current gaming state is in the probabilistic state, and the current gaming state is shortened in time. When it is in the state, the liquid crystal display 32 shows that the current gaming state is in the time saving state, and the time saving state showing the remaining number of times until the total number of times the special lottery is performed in the time saving state reaches 100 times. Display the image.

When the current gaming state is the special gaming state, the effect control means 300 indicates to the liquid crystal display 32 that the current gaming state is the special gaming state, and the special game of the number of rounds is executed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether or not the game is inside is displayed.

In the special lottery effect process, when the effect control means 300 performs the pre-determination process on the main board 100, the effect control means 300 performs an effect lottery to tentatively determine the effect content of the special lottery effect based on the command according to the pre-determination result. When the special lottery is performed on the main board 100, the effect lottery for finally determining the effect content of the special lottery effect is performed based on the command according to the result of the special lottery. Then, specially to match the variable display and stop display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76, or to match the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80. The effect device 176 is made to execute the lottery effect.

Specifically, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 13 (A), and a left effect pattern is displayed on the front side of the background image. 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. Then, each time the staging control means 300 reads the first special random number value from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the staging control means 300 starts the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76. Or, every time the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the variation display of the second special symbol is started in the second special symbol display unit 80, and FIG. 13 As shown in (B), after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a variable manner, whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery. The left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are stopped and displayed, and a plurality of them are displayed in the manner corresponding to the jackpot symbol, and when the jackpot is won, in the manner corresponding to the jackpot symbol determined by the symbol determination process. By changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 and playing back and displaying the staging video in which the character image operates, a special lottery staging according to the type of staging pattern can be performed. This is performed on the liquid crystal display 32. The downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed in a variable manner at high speed.

In detail, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 uses the effect lottery random value as a result of inputting a command according to the preliminary determination result or a command according to the result of the special lottery from the main board 100. , A plurality of types of random values such as a first effect pattern determination random value and a second effect pattern determination random value are acquired, and a first effect pattern determination process, a second effect pattern determination process, and the like are performed as an effect lottery.

In the first effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns is used for the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half portion of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one first effect pattern determination random value. Is the process of determining. Then, in the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any of a plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 to perform the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined by the first fluctuation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the staging lottery table storage means 3112 is the first to correspond to the case where the result of the first variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 7. Seven types of first effect pattern lottery tables of the effect pattern lottery table A to the first effect pattern lottery table G are stored (not shown). In each first effect pattern lottery table, any one of a plurality of types of first half effect patterns is associated with each of the 100 first effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99. Then, when the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the staging control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2. If this is the case, the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and so on, the first effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined by the first variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of first half effect patterns the one first effect pattern determination random value is associated with. One first half effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half effect patterns.

In the second effect pattern determination process, which of the plurality of types of the second half effect patterns is used as the second half effect pattern corresponding to the second half portion of the special lottery effect based on the acquired one second effect pattern determination random value. Is the process of determining. Then, in the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any of a plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310 to perform the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the latter half variation pattern determined in the second variation pattern determination process.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it corresponds to the case where the result of the second variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the reachless variation pattern 1 to the reachless variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables A to the second effect pattern lottery table H (not shown). Then, in each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 second effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns (unwinning mode) and a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns (unwinning modes) as a plurality of types of second half effect patterns. Any of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns (common modes) are associated with each other. Then, when the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern. If it is 1, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and so on, the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the latter half variation pattern determined by the second variation pattern determination process is selected.

Then, the staging control means 300 refers to the selected second staging pattern lottery table, and one second staging pattern determination random value is associated with either a plurality of types of reachless staging patterns or a plurality of types of reach staging patterns. By determining whether or not the pattern is present, one non-reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reachless effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

Here, the effect time is set for each of the plurality of types of the first half effect patterns, and the effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table A is the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The production time of the first half effect pattern, which is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table B, is set to 5 seconds, which is the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first effect pattern lottery table.

Further, the effect time is set for each of the plurality of types of reachless effect patterns and the plurality of types of reach effect patterns, and the effect time of the plurality of types of reachless effect patterns that can be determined by the second effect pattern lottery table A is , Both are set to 1 second, which is the same as the fluctuation time of the non-reach variation pattern 1, and the effect time of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by the second effect pattern lottery table E is the variation of the reach variation pattern 1. The production time of multiple types of non-reach effect patterns or multiple types of reach effect patterns that can be determined by each second effect pattern lottery table is set to 20 seconds, which is the same as the time, and each second effect pattern lottery. It is set to be the same as the variation time of the non-reach variation pattern or the reach variation pattern corresponding to the table.

Then, in the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. The total production time is the total production time according to the first half effect pattern determined by the first effect pattern determination process and the second half effect pattern determined by the second effect pattern determination process. Perform a special lottery effect. As a result, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is synchronized with the effect time of the special lottery effect.

For example, if the jackpot is not won in the jackpot determination process and the reachless effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 is used. With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol on the symbol display unit 80, as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started. As shown in 13 (C), first, the left staging symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed so as to be slightly shaken without being completely stopped in any mode (the mode showing "5" in FIG. 13 (C)). After that, as shown in FIG. 13 (D), the right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from that of the left effect symbol 350.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (E), the middle effect symbol 352 is displayed before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed. Temporary stop display is performed in a mode different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 (loss mode), and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. As shown in FIG. 13 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 (loss mode) at almost the same timing as being displayed. Confirmed stop is displayed.

Further, for example, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, or when the jackpot is not won in the jackpot determination process and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special As shown in FIG. 14A, with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol on the symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80, the left effect symbol 350 and the middle effect symbol 352. And the variable display of the right effect symbol 354 is started, the left effect symbol 350 is temporarily stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (B), and then the middle effect symbol 352 is displayed as shown in FIG. 14 (C). The right effect symbol 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left effect symbol 350 while being displayed in a variable manner. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reproduction display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 is started. The playback display of the staging video is completed within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 14D, when the production video in which the character A fights with the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the production video is reproduced and displayed. Instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, in the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction corresponding to the left effect symbol 350. The left effect symbol 360, the reduced effect symbol 362 corresponding to the middle effect symbol 352, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 corresponding to the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode), while the reduced effect symbol 362 is displayed in a variable manner.

If the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 14 (E), a staging video in which the character A wins the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the liquid crystal display is displayed. In the upper right of the display area of 32, the reducing left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (big hit mode), so that the player wins the jackpot. Will be notified temporarily.

Then, the staging video in which the character A wins the character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 14 (F), the left staging symbol 350 and the middle staging symbol 352 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. And after the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (G), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. At the same time, the speaker 14 outputs a sound effect for notifying the player that the jackpot has been won, so that the player is deterministically notified that the jackpot has been won.

On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won, as shown in FIG. 14 (H), a staging video in which character A is defeated by character B is played in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the liquid crystal is displayed. In the upper right of the display area of the display 32, the shrinking effect symbol 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode different from the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 (reach loss mode), so that the jackpot was not won. The player is tentatively notified.

Then, the moving image in which the character A is defeated by the character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 14 (I), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the middle effect symbol 352 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 14 (J), the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. As a result, the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has not been won.

Here, in the special lottery production process, a common production video may be played back and displayed both when the jackpot is won and when the jackpot is not won. Therefore, when the common production video is played and displayed. Can greatly increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot.

In the present embodiment, in the effect pattern determined when the 16-round symbol A is determined in the symbol determination process, the number portions of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are all "7". In addition to the fixed stop display in the mode showing "1", both are "3", or the fixed stop display may be displayed in the mode showing "5".

Further, in the effect pattern determined when the 16-round symbol B is determined in the symbol determination process, the numerical portions of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 all indicate "8". However, in addition to the fixed stop display, the fixed stop may be displayed even in the mode of "2" for both, "4" for both, or "6" for both.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 by the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. By displaying the display, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery, while increasing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot. After that, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the confirmed stop display.

In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on the command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image showing the status of the 1st special random number value or the 2nd special random number value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15A, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special random number storage area 2914 of the special random number storage means 2914 are located below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Four reserved display areas (display areas) of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 are provided corresponding to the special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and each reserved display area is provided. As shown in FIG. 15 (A), in the area, the first reserved image 420 showing which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15B, it is possible to display the second reserved image 422 showing which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value. It has become.

Specifically, the effect control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 When the first special reserved random value is stored in, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special reserved storage area 2 are each displayed. 1 When the special random number value is reserved, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage area 1 to When the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special random number value reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is stored. The first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414 according to the number of the first reserved display areas 411 to 414. In the example of FIG. 15A, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 do not store the second special random number value, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to 1 Since the first special random number value is reserved in each of the special reserved storage areas 3, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the third reserved display area 413.

Further, the effect control means 300 is the first in the second special reserved storage area 1 regardless of whether or not the first special random number value is stored in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4. 2 When the special random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in the first reserved display area 411, and the second special reserved storage area 1 and the second special reserved storage area 2 are each displayed as the second special. When the random number value is reserved, the second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, the second special reserved storage areas 1 to 2 are displayed. When the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reserved storage areas 4, the number of the second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 to the fourth reserved display area 414. In the example of FIG. 15B, since the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 2, the first hold display area 411 to the second hold The second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

Further, in the present embodiment, one of the reserved displays is corresponding to the special reserved storage area of the special random number storage means 2914 in the left area of the first reserved display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. An area 430 is provided, and when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the first reserved image is stored in the reserved display area 430. 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the second reserved image 422 is displayed.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 15A, when the first special reserved random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the first special reserved random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area. As shown in FIG. 15C, the effect control means 300 moves the first reserved image 420 displayed in the first reserved display area 411 to the reserved display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350, middle. The variable display of the effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is held by one smaller order than the original hold display area. Performs display control to move to the display area. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the first hold displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (D), when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed and the result of this special lottery is displayed, they are stored in the special hold storage area. As the first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. Then, when the first special random number value is further read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the staging control means 300 is not shown, but the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430, and variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and is displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the first reserved image 420 from the original reserved display area to the reserved display area having an ordinal number one smaller.

Further, although not shown, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special random number value are held in a state where a plurality of second special random number values are reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. When the special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, the staging control means 300 displays the second reserved image 422 displayed in the first reserved display area 411. While moving to the hold display area 430, the variable display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started, and the second hold image displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is displayed. Display control is performed to move the 422 from the original hold display area to the hold display area having one smaller ordinal number. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of this special lottery, and the second hold displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the special lottery from the next time onward.

Further, the staging control means 300 obtains the first special random number value or the second special random number value according to the preliminary determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and then the first special random number value. Alternatively, for the second special random number value, the first special random number value is obtained until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed, or after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired. Alternatively, the pre-reading effect is produced for the first special random number value or the second special random number value acquired immediately before the second special random number value until the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is completed. To execute. In the present embodiment, as the look-ahead effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value determined to execute the look-ahead effect is used. Change it, display an effect image around the first hold image 420 or the second hold image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image that is different from the normal background image. Or something. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state or the time saving state, the first special random number value is used. I try not to perform look-ahead production.

Here, the staging control means 300 does not win the jackpot if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value is the jackpot winning one. In the case of a thing, the pre-reading effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value only when the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, the special lottery means 230 does not win the jackpot in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, and the variation included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value. If the group determination random value is an indefinite value that is any of 0 to 89, the indefinite value information is set as a preliminary judgment result, and if it is a fixed value that is any of 90 to 99, it is fixed. Set the value information as the preliminary judgment result.

Then, when the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is the winning jackpot, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the look-ahead effect can be executed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value. If the pre-reading effect lottery is performed, but the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information, and if the fixed value information is included. , The look-ahead staging lottery is held.

As a result, in the present embodiment, at the time when the pre-determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value and the time when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random number value or the second special random number value. , Even if the number of holdings has changed, if a special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the pre-reading effect is determined to be executed, the jackpot may be won or the jackpot may not be won. However, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

When the effect control means 300 determines to execute the pre-reading effect by the pre-reading effect lottery for the first special random number value, the special reserved storage area and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 The jackpot included in the pre-judgment result in the first special random number value that is reserved in the above and is acquired before the first special random number value for which the pre-reading effect is determined to be executed. The first special random number value in which the result of the determination process is a big hit, or the result of the big hit determination process included in the pre-judgment result is the one in which the big hit is not won, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the first special random number value is not present, the look-ahead effect is started assuming that the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied.

Further, when it is decided to execute the look-ahead effect for the second special random number value in the look-ahead effect lottery, it is reserved in the special hold storage area and the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4. The result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is included in the second special random number value which is the second special random number value and is acquired before the second special random number value for which the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined. The second special random number value that won the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result that did not win the jackpot, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information. When the special random number value does not exist, the look-ahead effect is started assuming that the start condition of the look-ahead effect is satisfied.

As a result, in the present embodiment, when the execution of the look-ahead effect is determined for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot winning for the first special random number value or the second special random number value already held is won. If it is confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, or if it is confirmed that the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot. It is possible to start the look-ahead effect after the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that has been executed or is confirmed to be executed is completed. ..

While notifying, it is possible to notify that the jackpot of the 16-round symbol A will be won once more.

Then, in the probabilistic state shown in FIG. 18C, a special lottery using the second random number value is performed to win a big hit with the 16-round symbol A, and the storage value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3). In the case of shifting to the time saving state after the end of the gaming state, the first normal jackpot storage area 601 of the game history storage means 3116 and the 1-1 probability variable jackpot storage area 611 to the 1-3 probability variable jackpot storage area 613 are elected. Since the information is stored, in the time saving state, as shown in FIG. 19A, the NB icon 500 is lit and displayed in the first normal jackpot display area 460 of the history display area 450, and the 1-1 probability variation jackpot is displayed. The SB icon 510 is lit and displayed in each of the display area 470, the 1-2 probability variation jackpot display area 480, and the 1-3 probability variation jackpot display area 490. In this case, since there is no storage area in which the winning information is not stored in the three first probability variation storage areas including the 1-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 611 of the game history storage means 3116, the SB icon 510 is used. No blinking display is performed. As a result, in the present embodiment, as the winning history of the jackpot, the jackpot is first won in the 16-round symbol B, and then in the first, second, and third jackpots of the 16-round symbol A jackpot in one set of three times. It is possible to notify that one set has been completed by winning.

Then, in the time-saving state shown in FIG. 19A, when a big hit is won in the 16-round symbol A by a special lottery using the second random number value and the state shifts to the probable change state after the end of the special game state, the game history storage means 3116 Since the winning information is stored in the 1st normal jackpot storage area 601, the 1-1 probability variable jackpot storage area 611 to the 1-3 probability variable jackpot storage area 613, and the 2-1 probability variable jackpot storage area 621, the present information is applicable. In the probabilistic state, as shown in FIG. 19B, the NB icon 500 is lit and displayed in the first normal jackpot display area 460 of the history display area 450, and the 1-1 probabilistic jackpot display area 470 and the 1-2 probabilistic change state.

The SB icon 510 is blinked and displayed in each of the 3rd-2nd probability variation jackpot display area 484 and the 3rd-3rd probability variation jackpot display area 494 of the history display area 450 corresponding to each of the areas 633. As a result, in this embodiment, as the winning history of the jackpot, the jackpot is first won in 16 rounds with symbol B, followed by 2 sets of 16 rounds of symbol A in 3 times and 1 set, and then 16 rounds in 3 times and 1 set. It is possible to notify that the first jackpot of the symbol A jackpot has been won, and that the 16-round symbol A jackpot has been won two more times.

Further, for example, in the case of a special lottery using the first random number value in the normal state, when the jackpot is won by the 16-round symbol A and the state shifts to the probable change state after the end of the special game state, the game history storage means 3116 Since the winning information is stored in the 1-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 611, the SB icon 510 is lit in the 1-1 probability variation jackpot display area 470 of the history display area 450 as shown in FIG. 20 in the probability variation state. The SB icon 510 is displayed in blinking in each of the 1-2 probability variation jackpot display area 480 and the 1-3 probability variation jackpot display area 490. As a result, in this embodiment, while notifying that the first jackpot of the 16-round symbol A jackpots in one set of 3 times has been won as the jackpot winning history, the 16-round symbol A jackpot has been won two more times. It is possible to notify that it is obtained.

As described above, in the present embodiment, until the storage value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3), the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is set to the probabilistic state in principle, and the storage of the limit counter 2935 is stored. When the value reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3), the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is set to the time saving state, and in the time saving state or the probabilistic state, the normal jackpot display area for displaying the jackpot of the 16-round symbol B and 16 The winning history of the jackpot is displayed in the history display area including the probability variation jackpot display area for displaying the jackpot of the round symbol A. In particular, in the present embodiment, three sets of display areas for displaying one set (three times) of jackpots are provided as probabilistic jackpot display areas, and the winning history of jackpots from the first jackpot to the end of the third set at the maximum. Can be displayed. Then, in the present embodiment, in the probability variation jackpot display area for displaying one set of jackpots, the SB icon 510 is lit to display to display the number of digested times in one set, and the SB icon 510 is displayed. Since the undigested number of times in one set is displayed by blinking, it is possible to notify the remaining number of winnings until the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3). , It is possible to raise the player's expectation for winning the jackpot.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the history is displayed separately for the jackpot of the 16-round symbol A and the jackpot of the 16-round symbol B, the remaining number of winnings until the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3). Can be notified to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the time saving state or the probabilistic state, all the second special random number values held in the second special reserved storage area are all held in the situation where the first special reserved random value is held in the first special reserved storage area. When read, the first special random number value held in the first special hold storage area is read, a special lottery is performed, and a big hit may be won. Further, even when such an irregular pattern occurs, the history can be appropriately displayed according to the present embodiment.

For example, in the special lottery using the first random number value in the normal state, the jackpot was won in the 16th round symbol B, and after the end of the special gaming state, the time saving state was entered, and the first random number value was used in the time saving state. In the special lottery, the jackpot is won with the 16-round symbol B, and after the end of the special game state, the game shifts to the time-saving state. In the case of shifting to the probabilistic state after the end of, the winning information is stored in the first normal jackpot storage area 601 of the game history storage means 3116, the second normal jackpot storage area 602, and the 2-1 probabilistic jackpot storage area 621. Therefore, in the probable change state, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), the first normal jackpot display area 460 of the history display area 450 and the second normal jackpot storage area 602 of the game history storage means 3116 2 The NB icon 500 is lit up in each of the normal jackpot display areas 462, the SB icon 510 is lit up in the 2nd-2nd probability variation jackpot display area 472, and the 2nd-2nd probability variation jackpot display area 482 and the 2-3 probability variation are displayed. The SB icon 510 is blinked and displayed in each of the jackpot display areas 492. As a result, in the present embodiment, as the winning history of the jackpot, the jackpot is first won with the 16-round symbol B, then the jackpot is won with the 16-round symbol B, and then one of the jackpots of the 16-round symbol A in one set three times. While notifying that the jackpot of the 16th round has been won, it is possible to notify that the jackpot of the 16-round symbol A will be won two more times.

Further, for example, in the special lottery using the first random number value in the normal state, the jackpot is won in the 16th round symbol B, the game shifts to the time saving state after the end of the special gaming state, and the second random number value is used in the time saving state. In the special lottery that was held, the jackpot was won with the 16-round symbol A, and after the end of the special game state, the game changed to the probabilistic state. If the player shifts to the time-saving state after the end of the state, wins a big hit with the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery using the second random number value in the time-saving state, and shifts to the probable change state after the end of the special gaming state, the game history. Since the winning information is stored in the first normal jackpot storage area 601 of the storage means 3116, the second normal jackpot storage area 602, the 1-1 probability variable jackpot storage area 611, and the 2-1 probability variable jackpot storage area 621. In the probable change state, as shown in FIG. 21B, the NB icon 500 is lit and displayed in each of the first normal jackpot display area 460 and the second normal jackpot display area 462 of the history display area 450, and the first 1-1. The SB icon 510 is lit up in each of the probability variation jackpot display area 470 and the 2nd probability variation jackpot display area 472, and the SB icon is displayed in each of the 2nd probability variation jackpot display area 482 and the 2-3 probability variation jackpot display area 492. Make 510 blink. As a result, in this embodiment, as the winning history of the jackpot, the jackpot is first won in the 16-round symbol B, then the first jackpot of the 16-round symbol A jackpot in one set of 3 times is won, and then the 16-round symbol is won. While notifying that the jackpot was won in B and then the first jackpot of the 16-round symbol A jackpot in one set of 3 times, the 16-round symbol A jackpot can be won two more times. It can be notified.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when an irregular pattern occurs, the history is appropriately displayed by displaying the NB icon 500 or the SB icon 510 in the display area at the position corresponding to each jackpot. Even if the number of remaining winnings until the storage value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit (for example, 3) fluctuates due to the occurrence of an irregular pattern, the remaining number of winnings is notified to the player in an easy-to-understand manner. be able to.

Hereinafter, the flow of processing performed by the staging control means 300 when displaying the history will be described using a flowchart. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, when the effect control means 300 wins a big hit in the 16-round symbol B in the special lottery (Y in step S100), the effect control means 300 checks the setting state of the history storage permission flag (Y in step S100). In step S101), when the history storage permission flag is ON (Y in step S101), it is checked whether or not the winning information is stored in the third normal jackpot storage area 603 of the game history storage means 3116 (step S101). S102), when the winning information is stored in the third normal jackpot storage area 603 (Y in step S102), it is determined that the end condition of the history storage is satisfied and stored in the game history storage means 3116. The game history information (winning information) is initialized, and the history storage permission flag is set to the OFF state (step S109). On the other hand, if the winning information is not stored in the third normal jackpot storage area 603 (N in step S102), is the winning information stored in the 3-1 probability variable jackpot storage area 631 of the game history storage means 3116? It is checked whether or not (step S103), and if the winning information is stored in the 3-1 probability change jackpot storage area 631 (Y in step S103), it is determined that the end condition of the history storage is satisfied, and the game is played. The game history information (winning information) stored in the history storage means 3116 is initialized, and the history storage permission flag is set to the OFF state (step S109). On the other hand, when the winning information is not stored in the 3-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 631 (N in step S103), the winning information is stored in the 2-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 621 of the game history storage means 3116. If it is checked (step S104) and the winning information is stored in the 2-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 621 (Y in step S104), the third normal jackpot storage of the game history storage means 3116 is performed. If the winning information is stored in the area 603 (step S105) and the winning information is not stored in the 2-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 621 (N in step S104), the first 1-1 of the game history storage means 3116. It is checked whether or not the winning information is stored in the probabilistic jackpot storage area 611 (step S106), and if the winning information is stored in the 1-1 probabilistic jackpot storage area 611 (Y in step S106), The winning information is stored in the storage area of the second normal jackpot storage area 602 to the third normal jackpot storage area 603 of the game history storage means 3116 in which the winning information is not stored and the order is the smallest (step). S107), when the winning information is not stored in the 1-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 611 (N in step S106), the first normal jackpot storage area 601 to the third normal jackpot storage area of the game history storage means 3116 The winning information is stored in the storage area of the 603 in which the winning information is not stored and the order number is the smallest (step S108).

Further, as shown in FIG. 23, when the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery (Y in step S110), the setting state of the history storage permission flag is checked (step S111), and the history storage permission flag is in the ON state. In a certain case (Y in step S111), it is checked whether or not the winning information is stored in the 3rd-3rd probabilistic jackpot storage area 633 of the game history storage means 3116 (step S112), and the 3rd-3rd probabilistic jackpot memory. When the winning information is stored in the area 633 (Y in step S112), it is determined that the end condition of the history storage is satisfied, and the game history information (winning information) stored in the game history storage means 3116 is stored. Initialize and set the history storage permission flag to the OFF state (step S118). On the other hand, if the winning information is not stored in the 3rd 3rd probability variation jackpot storage area 633 (N in step S112), is the winning information stored in the 3rd normal jackpot storage area 603 of the game history storage means 3116? It is checked whether or not (step S113), and when the winning information is stored in the third normal jackpot storage area 603 (Y in step S113), the 3-1 probabilistic jackpot storage area 631 of the game history storage means 3116. The winning information is stored in the storage area of the 3rd-3rd probability variation jackpot storage area 633 in which the winning information is not stored and the order number is the smallest (step S114), and the winning information is stored in the third normal jackpot storage area 603. If the winning information is not stored (N in step S113), it is checked whether or not the winning information is stored in the second normal jackpot storage area 602 of the game history storage means 3116 (step S115), and the second When the winning information is stored in the normal jackpot storage area 602 (Y in step S115), the winning information is stored in any of the three second probability variable jackpot storage areas and the three third probability variable jackpot storage areas. (Step S116). In this case, the second probability variation jackpot storage area is prioritized over the third probability variation jackpot storage area, and the winning information is stored in the storage area in which the winning information is not stored and the ordinal number is the smallest. On the other hand, when the winning information is not stored in the second normal jackpot storage area 602 (N in step S115), three first probability variable jackpot storage areas, three second probability variable jackpot storage areas, and three. Winning information is stored in any of the third probabilistic jackpot storage areas (step S117). In this case, the second probability variation jackpot storage area is prioritized over the third probability variation jackpot storage area, the first probability variation jackpot storage area is prioritized over the second probability variation jackpot storage area, and the storage area in which the winning information is not stored. Winning information is stored in the storage area with the smallest ordinal number.

Then, when shifting to the time saving state or the probabilistic state, as shown in FIG. 24, the normal jackpot display area of the history display area 450 corresponding to the normal jackpot storage area of the game history storage means 3116 in which the winning information is stored is NB. The icon 500 is lit and displayed (step S200), and the SB icon 510 is lit and displayed in the probability variation jackpot display area of the history display area 450 corresponding to the probability variation jackpot storage area of the game history storage means 3116 in which the winning information is stored (step S200). S201), 1-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 611, 2-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 621, 3-1 probability variation jackpot storage area 631 which is a storage area in which winning information is stored and has a maximum order. In the probability variation jackpot display area of the history display area 450 corresponding to the storage area in which the winning information is not stored in the first probability variation jackpot storage area, the second probability variation jackpot storage area, or the third probability variation jackpot storage area including a certain storage area. The SB icon 510 is blinked and displayed (step S202).

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be carried out. Modifications are introduced below. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modification examples can be appropriately combined and adopted as control methods for realizing the present invention.

First, in the above embodiment, an example of displaying the undigested count by blinking the SB icon 510 in the probability variation jackpot display area has been described. However, any display mode different from the digested count display may be used, for example. In the undigested count display, the transparency (transparency) of the SB icon 510 may be different from the digested count display, or the display magnification of the SB icon 510 (for example, reduced display) may be different from the digested count display. You may try to make it different. Further, for example, a frame surrounding each display area of the history display area 450 may be displayed, and the undigested number of times may be displayed by not displaying the SB icon 510 (by leaving it blank).

Further, in the above embodiment, when the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3), an example of setting the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state to the time saving state has been described. The gaming state after the end of the gaming state may be set to the normal state.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is probabilistically changed until the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3). Although it has been described with an example of setting to, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is set to the time saving state (advantageous state) until the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3), and the limit is set. When the stored value of the counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3), the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state may be set to the normal state.

Further, in the above embodiment, the limit counter 2935 is increment-updated every time the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery, and when the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 3), a special game is performed. The explanation was given with an example of setting the game state after the end of the state to the time saving state, but first, the limit number of times (for example, 3 times) is set in the limit counter 2935, and the jackpot is won by the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery. The decrement of the limit counter 2935 may be updated each time, and when the stored value of the limit counter 2935 reaches 0, which is the initial value, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state may be set to the time saving state. For example, when the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is the initial value and the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery, the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is set to a specific value corresponding to the limit number of times (for example, 3 times). After setting to (for example, 3), the decrement update is performed by subtracting the value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of winning of the 16 round symbol A for one time from the stored value of the limit counter 2935, and the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is performed. Is not the initial value, and every time a jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in a special lottery, a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times the 16-round symbol A is won is subtracted from the stored value of the limit counter 2935. When the decrement is updated and the jackpot is won in the 16th round symbol B in the special lottery, or when the time saving state ends (the game state shifts to the normal state), the stored value of the limit counter 2935 is reset to the initial value. You may try to do it.

Further, in the above embodiment, the example of displaying the jackpot winning history on the liquid crystal display 32 has been described, but a dedicated device for displaying the history may be prepared and the jackpot winning history may be displayed on the device. ..

Further, in the above embodiment, the history display is terminated when the end condition of the history storage is satisfied, but the history display may be continued. For example, when the end condition of the history storage is satisfied, the first normal jackpot storage area 601 and the first probability variable jackpot storage area 610 of the game history storage means 3116 are initialized, and the second normal jackpot storage area 602 and the third normal jackpot are initialized. The winning information stored in each of the storage areas 603 is moved to each of the first normal jackpot storage area 601 and the second normal jackpot storage area 602, and the second probability variable jackpot storage area 620 and the third probability variable jackpot storage area 630 are moved. After moving the winning information stored in each of the first probability variable jackpot storage area 610 and the second probability variable jackpot storage area 620 to the third normal jackpot storage area 603 or the third probability variable jackpot storage area 630 this time. The winning information of the jackpot may be stored and the history display may be continued. By doing so, it is possible to always display the latest history while displaying the history in advance.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example of displaying the jackpot winning history by dividing the display area according to the jackpot winning type (16 round symbol A, 16 round symbol B) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the starting prize is won. The display area is divided according to the type of mouth (1st start winning opening 46, 2nd starting winning opening 50), that is, the type of special random number value (1st special random number value, 2nd special random number value), and the winning history of the jackpot is displayed. You may try to do it. In this example, when a jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery using the first winning random value, the winning information of the 16-round symbol A is stored in the normal jackpot storage area 600 of the game history storage means 3116. When the SB icon 510 is lit and displayed in the normal jackpot display area of the history display area 450 corresponding to the normal jackpot storage area 600 and the jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol B in the special lottery using the first random value. The winning information of the 16-round symbol B is stored in the normal jackpot storage area 600 of the game history storage means 3116, and the NB icon 500 is lit and displayed in the normal jackpot display area of the history display area 450 corresponding to the normal jackpot storage area 600. When a jackpot is won in the 16-round symbol A in the special lottery using the second winning random value, the winning information of the 16-round symbol A is stored in the probability-changing jackpot storage area of the game history storage means 3116, and the probability-changing jackpot storage area is stored. The SB icon 510 may be lit and displayed in the probability variation jackpot display area of the history display area 450 corresponding to the above.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example of displaying the effect images and the effect videos such as the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 in preference to the NB icon 500 and the SB icon 510 related to the history display will be described. However, the history display may be temporarily hidden in a time-saving state or a probable change state. For example, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 may be temporarily stopped or fixedly stopped. The history display may be temporarily hidden at the timing of making it.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the storage value of the limit counter 2935 is not the upper limit value (for example, 3) at the end of the special gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is set according to the setting state of the special flag. Although the setting example has been described, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state may be set according to the winning type of the jackpot (16 round symbol A, 16 round symbol B). For example, 16 in the special lottery. If the jackpot is won in the round symbol A, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is set to the probabilistic state, and if the jackpot is won in the 16th round symbol B in the special lottery, the game after the end of the special middle state is won. The state may be set to the time saving state, or if the jackpot is won in the 16 round symbol A in the special lottery, the gaming state after the end of the special gaming state is set to the time saving state, and 16 rounds in the special lottery. If the jackpot is won with the symbol B, the gaming state after the end of the special middle state may be set to the normal state.

Further, although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiment, in the special gaming state, the time saving state, or the probabilistic state, the right-handed instruction image instructing right-handedness is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the hold image or right-handedness is displayed. The instruction image may be displayed in a display area different from the history display area 450. That is, it may be made easier for the player to see by displaying it so as not to overlap with the history display. Similarly, in the case where the left-handed instruction image for instructing left-handedness is displayed together with the history display, the player may be made easier to see by displaying the left-handedness instruction image so as not to overlap with the history display.

Further, in the above embodiment, the liquid crystal display 32 may display the total number of game balls paid out in the special game state together with the winning history of the jackpot in the time saving state or the probable change state. In this example, the number of game balls paid out in the special game state is accumulated and counted, and even if the special game state ends, the counted number of game balls paid out is held until the time saving state ends, and the time saving state is maintained. You may want to reset the count of the number of payouts of the game balls when is finished. By doing so, it is possible to display the total number of game balls paid out by the jackpot (special game) displayed in the history, and the history display and the payout number display can be linked.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine provided with a gaming area in which the gaming ball moves and launches the gaming ball into the gaming area according to the operation of the player has been described, but a design is provided on the outer peripheral surface. A spinning type game in which a lottery is performed according to the player's operation for each game, the plurality of reels are rotated, and the plurality of reels are stopped in an manner according to the result of the lottery. The present invention may be applied to a machine (pachislot gaming machine).
