A backup power supply unit 420 that supplies power supply voltage to the internal RAM of 11 in the event of a power failure;
It has a power failure monitoring circuit, and includes a control signal generation unit 430 that generates and outputs control signals such as a power failure monitoring signal and a reset signal that inform the game control device 100 of power failure occurrence and recovery.

In this embodiment, the power supply device 400 is configured separately from the game control device 100, but the backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 430 are integrated on a separate board or with the game control device 100, that is, the main It may be configured to be provided on the substrate. Since the game board 30 and the game control device 100 are to be replaced when the model is changed, the backup power supply section 420 and the control signal generation section 430 are installed on a board different from the power supply device 400 or the main board as in the present embodiment. By providing the , it is possible to remove it from the object of replacement and to reduce the cost.

The backup power supply unit 420 can be configured with one large-capacity capacitor such as an electrolytic capacitor. The backup power supply is the gaming microcomputer 111 (
In particular, the data is supplied to the built-in RAM), and the data stored in the RAM is retained even during a power failure or after the power is turned off. That is, the game control device 100 is capable of storing and holding information related to the game even if a power failure occurs and the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, and after the power failure is restored, the game can be restarted based on the stored information. It constitutes a game information storage holding means.
The control signal generation unit 430 monitors the voltage of 32 V generated by the normal power supply unit 410, for example, and detects the occurrence of a power failure when the voltage drops below 17 V, for example, and changes the power failure monitoring signal. to output Also, when the power is turned on or when the power is restored, the reset signal is output after a predetermined time has elapsed from that time.

Also, the game control device 100 is provided with a RAM initialization switch 112 . This R
When the AM initialization switch 112 is operated, an initialization switch signal is generated, based on which the information stored in the RAM 111C in the game microcomputer 111 and the RAM in the payout control device 200 is forcibly initialized. is done. Although not particularly limited, the initialization switch signal is read when the power is turned on, and the power failure monitoring signal is repeatedly read in the main loop of the main program executed by the gaming microcomputer 111 . A reset signal is a kind of forced interrupt signal and resets the entire control system.

The game microcomputer 111 has a CPU (central processing unit: microprocessor) 111A.
, a read-only ROM (read-only memory) 111B and an RA that can be read and written at any time
M (random access memory) 111C.

The ROM 111B non-volatilely stores immutable information (programs, fixed data, judgment values of various random numbers, etc.) for game control, and the RAM 111C is a work area for the CPU 111A during game control and a storage area for various signals and random values. used as ROM 111B or RAM 11
As 1C, an electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory such as EEPROM may be used.

Further, the ROM 111B stores a variation pattern table for determining a variation pattern (variation mode) that defines, for example, the execution time of the special figure variation display game, the effect content, the presence or absence of the ready-to-win state, and the like. The fluctuation pattern table is a table for the CPU 111A to refer to the fluctuation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 stored as the starting memory to determine the fluctuation pattern. The variation pattern table includes a winning variation pattern table selected when the result is a win, a big hit variation pattern table selected when the result is a big hit, and the like. Furthermore, these pattern tables include tables for determining the second half fluctuation pattern, which is the fluctuation pattern after reaching the reach state (second half fluctuation group table, second half fluctuation pattern selection table, etc.), fluctuation before reaching the reach state Tables for determining the first half variation pattern (first half variation group table, first half variation pattern selection table, etc.) are included.

Here, reach (reach state) means having a display device whose display state can be changed, the display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are determined in advance. A game state (special game state) in which the game state is advantageous to the player when the special result mode is reached.
In the gaming machine 10, at a stage where some of the plurality of display results are not yet derived and displayed
A display state in which a display result that has already been derived and displayed satisfies the conditions for becoming a special result mode. In other words, the ready-to-reach state means that even when the variable display control of the display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, the display conditions for the special result mode are not met. It refers to a display mode that does not exist. And, for example, a state in which variable display is performed using a plurality of variable display areas while maintaining a state in which the special result modes are uniform (so-called all-rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. In addition, the reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the display device progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. A display state in which at least some of the display results of a plurality of variable display areas that are present satisfy the conditions for the special result mode.

Therefore, for example, the decoration special figure variation display game displayed on the display device corresponding to the special figure variation display game changes the plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right variation display areas on the display device. After displaying, if the variable display is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle to display the result mode, the condition for the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas satisfy the condition for the special result mode (for example, the same A state that has become identification information,
However, excluding the special result mode) may be set as the ready-to-win state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from this ready-to-win state.

This ready-to-reach state includes a plurality of ready-to-reach effects, and as ready-to-win effects with different possibilities of deriving special result modes (different expected values), normal reach (N reach), special 1 reach (SP1 reach), Special 2 Reach (SP2 Reach), Special 3
Reach (SP3 Reach) and Premier Reach are set. The expected value is no reach < normal reach < special 1 reach < special 2 reach < special 3 reach <
It becomes higher in order of premier reach. Further, this ready-to-win state is included in the variable display mode at least when the special result mode is derived in the special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode when it is determined that the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is lost). Therefore, the state in which the ready-to-win state occurs is a state with a higher possibility of winning a big hit than the case in which the ready-to-win state does not occur.

The CPU 111A executes a game control program in the ROM 111B to generate control signals (commands) for the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300, or to generate and output drive signals for solenoids and display devices, and output them to the game machine. 10 overall control. In addition, although not shown, the gaming microcomputer 111 also generates a jackpot random number for determining the hit of the special-picture variation display game, a special-picture random number for determining the jackpot pattern, and a variation pattern in the special-picture variation display game ( Random number generation for generating a variation pattern random number for determining the variable display game execution time etc. in various reach and variable display without reach, hit random numbers for determining the hit of the normal figure variation display game circuit, and a clock generator for generating a timer interrupt signal with a predetermined period (for example, 4 milliseconds) for the CPU 111A based on the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113 and a clock for giving update timing to the random number generation circuit. ing.

In addition, the CPU 111A uses the ROM 111B in processing related to the special figure variation display game.

Specifically, the CPU 111A, the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game (big hit, small hit or lose), the probability state of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current game state (low probability state or high probability state), Any one variation pattern table is selected and acquired from among a plurality of variation pattern tables based on the number of starting memories and the like. Here, the CPU 111A
constitutes variation distribution information acquisition means for acquiring any one variation pattern table from among a plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the ROM 111B when executing a special figure variation display game.

In the following description, when the special figure 1 variation display game and the special figure 2 variation display game are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as the special figure variation display game. In addition, when not distinguishing the decoration special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the decoration special figure 2 fluctuation display game, it is simply referred to as the decoration special figure fluctuation display game. Also, if you do not distinguish between the big hit (first special result) and the small hit (second special result), simply hit (special result)
called. Moreover, when not distinguishing the 1st special game state which is a special game state based on a big hit, and the 2nd special game state which is a special game state based on a small hit, it is simply called a special game state.

The big hit is a special result (first special result) accompanied by the operation of the conditional device, and the small win is a special result (second special result) not accompanied by the operation of the conditional device. The condition device operates when a big hit occurs in the special figure fluctuation display game (stop display of the big hit pattern). Variable winning device 38
, 39 is set (the device for continuously actuating the character is activated). The fact that the conditional device does not operate means that the aforementioned flag is not set as in the case of winning a small prize lottery, for example. The "condition device" may be software means such as a flag that is turned on and off by software as described above, or hardware means such as a switch that is electrically turned on and off.
In addition, the "conditional device" is a device whose operation is a necessary condition for continuous operation of the electric accessory,
It is a term commonly used in the field of pachinko gaming machines, and is used in this specification as a term having the same meaning.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a game is played by shooting game balls (pachinko balls) toward the game area 32 from the ball shooting device. The launched game ball is in the game area 3
2 flow down the game area 32 while changing the rolling direction by direction changing members such as obstacle nails and windmills arranged in various places, normal figure starting gate 34, general winning opening 35, starting winning opening 36, normal variable winning winning the device 37, the first special variable winning device 38 or the second special variable winning device 39,
It flows into an out port 30 a provided at the bottom of the game area 32 and is discharged from the game area 32 . Then, when the game ball wins the general winning hole 35, the starting winning hole 36, the normal variable winning device 37, the first special variable winning device 38 or the second special variable winning device 39, the number corresponding to the type of the winning winning port are discharged to the upper tray 21 or the lower tray 23 of the glass frame 15 from the payout unit controlled by the payout control device 200 (see FIG. 5).

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the player adjusts the shooting force and shoots the game ball to the left side game area (so-called left-handed hitting), so that the starting winning opening 36 and the left side of the starting winning opening 36 You can aim to win a prize to the disposed general winning port 35, and by shooting a game ball to the right side game area (so-called right hitting), the normal figure start gate 34, the normal variable winning device 37, and the first special variable winning Players can aim to win a prize through the device 38, the second special variable prize winning device 39, and the general winning port 35 arranged on the right side of the second special variable prize winning device 39.

In the normal pattern starting gate 34, a gate switch 34a composed of a non-contact type switch or the like for detecting a game ball that has passed through the normal pattern starting gate 34 is provided.
When the game ball hit inside passes through the normal figure starting gate 34, it is detected by the gate switch 34a. In the CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100, based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the gate switch 34a provided in the normal pattern start gate 34, the normal pattern start memory number is the upper limit number (for example, 4 ), add the normal figure start memory number (+1
) to store one normal map start memory in the RAM 111C. The number of memory of this normal figure start winning prize is displayed on the normal figure reservation indicator 58 of the collective display device 50. - 特許庁In addition, the normal pattern start memory stores a hit judgment random value (hit random value) for determining the result of the normal pattern variation display game extracted based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the gate switch 34a. It is designed to be

Then, when there is a normal pattern start memory and the normal pattern variation display game can be started, that is, when the normal pattern variation display game is not being executed, the normal pattern variation display game wins and the normal variation winning device 37 is converted to the open state. If there is no winning state, the random value for winning determination stored in the first stored normal pattern start memory is compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B to determine the hit/loss of the normal pattern fluctuation display game. Then, processing for starting the normal pattern fluctuation display game is performed. When the hit determination random number matches the determination value, the normal pattern variation display game becomes a hit and a specific result mode (normal pattern specific result) is derived.

In addition, the game control device 100 predetermines a plurality of predetermined lighting patterns over a predetermined fluctuation time on the general pattern indicator 57 provided in the collective display device 50 as processing for executing the general pattern variation display game. After performing the normal pattern fluctuation display that is repeatedly displayed in the order given, the process of displaying the normal pattern fluctuation display game that stops and displays the lighting pattern (result mode) according to the result is performed.
The normal map display 57 is composed of the display device 41, and the normal identification information includes numbers, symbols,
It is also possible to use a character pattern or the like, variably display this for a predetermined period of time, and then stop display to display the result.

When the result of the normal pattern fluctuation display game is a hit, the normal pattern indicator 57 stops displaying a lighting pattern that is a special result mode, and the general electric solenoid 37c is operated to activate the movable member of the normal fluctuation prize winning device 37. Control is performed to open for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds or 1.7 seconds). That is, the game control device 100 serves as conversion control execution means for performing conversion control of the conversion member (movable member). When the result of the normal pattern variation display game is a loss, the normal pattern display 57 is controlled to display a lighting pattern as a result of the loss.

Winning balls to the starting winning opening 36 and winning balls to the normal variable winning device 37 are detected by a starting opening 1 switch 36a and a starting opening 2 switch 37a, respectively.
In the CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100, the first starting memory forming the starting memory (special figure starting memory) based on the winning to the starting winning opening 36 is set to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4
), and stores a second starting memory forming a starting memory (special figure starting memory) based on the winning to the normal variable winning device 37 up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Based on the winning of the start winning opening 36 and the normal fluctuation winning device 37, the jackpot random number value, the special pattern random number value, and each fluctuation pattern random number value are extracted as starting memory information, respectively. The random value is stored in the RAM 111C as first start memory and second start memory. And, the number of memories of this starting memory is displayed on the special figure 1 reservation indicator 53 and the special figure 2 reservation indicator 54 for notifying the number of starting winnings of the collective display device 50, and in the display device 41 of the center case 40 is also displayed as a decorative special figure start memory display.

The game control device 100 performs the special figure 1 variable display game with the special figure 1 indicator 51 (first variation display device) based on the first start memory, and the special figure 2 indicator 52 ( A special figure 2 variable display game is performed on the second variable display device). Then, when both the first starting memory and the second starting memory are stored, the special figure 2 variation display game is preferentially executed over the special figure 1 variation display game.

That is, the game control device (game control means) 100 is based on the first start memory stored according to the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening 36 (first start winning area) special figure 1 variable display game ( 1st special figure fluctuation display game) execution control, and special figure 2 fluctuation based on the second start memory stored according to the winning of the game ball to the normal fluctuation winning device 37 (second start winning area) It constitutes execution control means for controlling the execution of the display game (second special figure variation display game). Then, the execution control means changes the special figure 2 variation display game based on the second start memory from the special figure 1 variation display game based on the first start memory in a state where the first start memory and the second start memory are stored. are configured to be executed with priority.

In the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52, after performing the variable display, the predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. Then, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 becomes a special result form (jackpot result form) corresponding to the first special result. It becomes a big hit, and becomes a first special game state (so-called big win state).
In addition, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a small hit, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 corresponds to the second special result special result mode (small hit result mode) As a result, it becomes a small hit, and becomes a second special game state (so-called small hit state). That is, special figure 1
The display device 51 constitutes first variable display means capable of displaying a first variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) based on the winning of the game ball to the starting winning hole 36 . In addition, the special figure 2 display device 52 constitutes a second variation display means capable of displaying a second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) based on winning of game balls to the normal variation winning device 37 .

In addition, the game control device (game control means) 100 has a jackpot game state (first special game state)
After the end of, control to generate a game state (specific game state) in which the game can be progressed in a situation that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state (high probability of winning or having general electric support) It is possible. That is, the game control device (game control means) 100 serves as a specific game state generating means.

In addition, in response to the execution of the special figure 1 variation display game and the special figure 2 variation display game, the display device 41
A decoration special figure variable display game is executed in which a plurality of types of decoration identification information (numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are displayed in a variable manner. The decoration special figure variation display game on the display device 41 includes a decoration special figure 1 variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game and a decoration special figure 2 variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game. Yes, and they are displayed in separate display areas. Then, the variation display is performed with the variation of the corresponding special figure variation display game, and the display corresponding to the result is performed with the derivation of the result mode in the corresponding special figure variation display game.

That is, the display device 41 is a decoration variable display game ( It constitutes a decoration variable display means capable of displaying a decoration special figure variable display game). In addition, separate display devices may be used for the decoration special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure 2 variation display game, or only one decoration special figure variation display game may be displayed. Also, game machine 1
The special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 41 without having the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 in 0.

FIG. 7 shows an example of distribution ratios in this embodiment.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7A, for example, there are four types of results of the special figure variation display game: a big hit, a small hit, and a support hit. And for the big hit, for example,
As shown in (b), as a big hit pattern (result mode of the big hit), a high probability A big hit in which the high probability A big hit pattern is stopped and displayed, a high probability B big hit in which the high probability B big hit pattern is stopped and displayed, and a normal big hit pattern is stopped. There are three types of normal jackpots displayed. Also, for a small hit, for example, FIG.
), there are two types of small winning symbols (small winning results mode): a small winning A symbol in which the small winning A symbol is stopped and displayed, and a small winning B symbol in which the small winning B symbol is stopped and displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7(d), for example, as shown in FIG. 7(d), the support winning A symbol is stop-displayed as the support winning symbol (result form of the support winning result), and the support winning B symbol is stopped and displayed. There are three types of support hit B and support hit C in which the support hit C symbol is stopped and displayed. It should be noted that the support hit is neither a big hit nor a small hit, and can be said to be one type of winning pattern.

The probability variation indicates that there is a high possibility that the game ball will flow into the specific area (probability variation operating area) and is likely to become a high probability state (probability variation state) after the end of the special game state. Possibility of inflow of game balls is low, indicating that it is difficult to enter a high probability state (probability variable state) after the end of the special game state. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the high probability state is reached depending on whether or not the game ball flows into the specific area (probability variable operation area). If game balls do not flow in, the high probability state does not occur, and even if the jackpot type is normal, if the game balls flow into the specific area, the high probability state occurs.

In the special game state (jackpot game state) based on the derivation of the variable probability A jackpot and the variable probability B jackpot, the first special variable winning device 38 is opened in a specific round and the specific area (variable probability operation area) is opened. conduct. Long opening with V is an opening mode with a high possibility of game balls flowing into a specific area (probability variable operating area). And the first in a round other than a specific round
V-less opening is performed in which the special variable winning device 38 is opened but the specific area is not opened.
In the special game state (jackpot game state) based on the derivation of the normal jackpot, the first
Short opening with V to open the special variable winning device 38 and open the specific area (probability variable operation area) is performed. Short opening with V is an opening mode in which the possibility of game balls flowing into a specific area (probability variable operating area) is lower than long opening with V. Then, in a round other than the specific round, the first special variable prize winning device 38 is opened, but the specific area is not opened.
In the special game state (small hit game state) based on the derivation of the small hit, the second special variable winning device 3
9 is released.

FIG. 7(a) is an example of the distribution rate of the result of the special figure variation display game. In this embodiment, the distribution rate of the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is common to the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, but the special figure 1

Also, in FIG. 7(a), the jackpot distribution rate is the same when the probability setting value is "setting 4", "setting 5", and "setting 6". can be different. Also, for example, the distribution rate of the jackpot in "setting 1" and the distribution rate of the jackpot in "setting 2" are the first distribution rate (for example, low probability: 219/65536, high probability: 2190/6
5536), and the distribution rate of the jackpot in "Setting 3" and the distribution rate of the jackpot in "Setting 4" are the second
Distribution ratio (for example, low probability: 262/65536, high probability: 2620/65536),
The third distribution rate (for example,
Low probability: 291/65536, high probability: 2910/65536).

Also, in FIG. 7(a), the small hit distribution rate is the same regardless of the set probability value, but may be different. In addition, in FIG. 7(a), the distribution rate of the small hit is the same regardless of the probability state of the special figure variation display game (whether it is a low probability state or a high probability state), but different It's okay to be there.
Also, in FIG. 7(a), the distribution rate per support is the same regardless of the set probability value, but may be different.
That is, only the winning probability of the big win is changed by changing the probability set value, and the probability of the small win and the supporting win is not changed.
Also, in FIG. 7(a), it is possible to win a support hit only in a low probability state, but it may be possible to win in a high probability state as well. In this case, when the probability state of the special figure variation display game is low probability state, it may be higher than when it is high probability state, or when it is low probability state and when it is high probability state , or may be lower in the case of the low-probability state than in the case of the high-probability state.

In addition, in FIG. 7(d), the distribution rate of the support per A in the special figure 2 and the distribution rate of the support per B in the special figure 2 are the same, but they may be different. Also, the sorting rate of the types of support hits in the case where it is possible to win the support hit even in the high probability state may be the same as or different from that in the low probability state.

[Game state transition diagram (game flow)]
First, the transition (transition) of the game state by the game control of the game control device 100 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a game state transition diagram (game flow) showing transitions of game states in this embodiment.
The game state includes a normal game state ST14, a first specific game state ST11, a second specific game state ST12, and a third specific game state ST13. In addition to this, as a game state, the first special result (
There are a first special game state (big hit game state) based on the big hit) and a second special game state (small hit game state) based on the second special result (small hit), but they are omitted here.

In each game state, the first special result (jackpot) to be controlled by the game control device 100
is derived, the production mode that determines the production mode of the game by being controlled by the production control device 300, the main start area that is the start area that should be mainly aimed in the game state, the special figure fluctuation display game that should be mainly executed The main variation special figure, which is the type of, and the shooting direction of the game ball are defined.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to aim to win a prize in the start winning port 36 by hitting left, and to aim for winning in the normal variable prize winning device 37 by hitting right. In other words, it is possible to select the target starting area according to the player's will. In addition, in each game state, it is designed on the assumption that either one of the special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the special figure 2 fluctuation display game will be played mainly, and the player will play the game according to this design. It is structured so that it is more advantageous for the player to progress the game mainly with one of the special figure fluctuation display games which is determined to be the main one in terms of design so as to proceed. In addition, in this specification, one special figure variation display game determined to be main in each gaming state may be referred to as main variation, and the other special figure variation display game may be referred to as irregular variation.

The normal game state ST14 is a state in which the special figure probability is low probability, and there is no general electric support that improves the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning, It is in a state where there is no time to shorten the variation time of the figure variation display game. Also, the production mode that defines the production mode is the normal mode. The main variation special figure is the special figure 1 variation display game, the main starting area is the starting winning opening 36, and the shooting direction is left-handed in order to aim at this starting winning opening 36. That is, it is designed so that the special figure 1 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 2 variation display game is the irregular variation.

The first specific game state ST11 is a state in which the special figure probability is high probability, and there is no general electric support that improves the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning, and the special figure variable display game. And there is no time reduction to shorten the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game. Also, the effect mode that defines the effect mode is the latent mode. The main variation special figure is the special figure 1 variation display game, the main starting area is the starting winning opening 36, and the shooting direction is left-handed in order to aim at this starting winning opening 36. That is, it is designed so that the special figure 1 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 2 variation display game is the irregular variation.

The second specific game state ST12 is a state in which the special figure probability is high probability, and there is a general electric support that improves the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning. If there is general electricity support, there is also a time saving to shorten the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game and the general figure fluctuation display game. A performance mode that defines a performance mode is a chance mode. In addition, the main variation special figure is a special figure 2 variation display game, the main starting area is the normal variation winning device 37, and the shooting direction is right-handed in order to aim at this normal variation winning device 37. That is, it is designed so that the special figure 2 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 1 variation display game is the irregular variation.
The third specific game state ST13 is the same as the second specific game state ST12 except that the special figure probability is a low probability state.

Among these four game states, the normal game state ST14 is the most disadvantageous state for the player. The third specific game state ST13 is a state that is more advantageous for the player than the normal game state ST14 because there is general power support, and the first specific game state ST11 is a high probability state, so the normal game state ST14 and the third game state ST11 This state is more advantageous for the player than the specific game state ST13. The second specific game state ST12 is a high-probability state and has a general electric support, so it is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state ST14, the first specific game state ST11, and the third specific game state ST13.

The transition of the game state is the end of the first special game state based on the derivation of the first special result (jackpot),
It is done by deriving per support and digesting the prescribed number of games. Therefore, the game state does not shift due to the end of the second special game state based on the derivation of the second special result (minor win).
Basically, when the special result that triggered the start of the special game state is a normal jackpot with a low probability state after the end of the special game state, the process shifts to the third specific game state ST13, and the special Of the variable probability big hits to be in a high probability state after the end of the game state, when the variable probability A big win is the one, the process shifts to the second specific game state ST12, and when the variable probability B big win is the big win, the process shifts to the first specific game state ST11. .

Specifically, when the probability variation A jackpot is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game and becomes a special game state, and there is V passage in the special game state (the specific area of the first special variation winning device 38 (
When the game ball flows into the probability variable operation area) and is detected by the specific area switch 38d), it shifts to the second specific game state ST12 after the end of the special game state. In addition, as a result of the special figure variation display game, a probability variable B jackpot is derived and becomes a special game state, and in the special game state V
In the case of passing (when the game ball flows into the specific area (probability variable operation area) of the first special variable winning device 38 and is detected by the specific area switch 38d), after the end of the special game state, the first
It shifts to a specific game state ST11. Also, as a result of the special figure variation display game, a normal jackpot is derived and becomes a special game state, and if there is no V passage in the special game state does not flow), after the end of the special game state, the transition to the third specific game state ST13. Since the second specific game state ST12 and the third specific game state ST13 are set to the same chance mode in the performance mode, it is difficult for the player to grasp the shift.

In addition, the number of ST times (for example, 20
00 times), and when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game from the end of the special game state in the first specific game state ST11 reaches the ST number of times, the game is shifted to the normal game state ST14. Also good.
Also, the number of ST times (for example, 20
00 times), and when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game from the end of the special game state in the second specific game state ST12 reaches the ST number, the normal game state ST14 (or the third specific game Alternatively, the state may be shifted to the state ST13).

When the normal jackpot is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST13, it is possible to stay in the third specific game state ST13 until the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times. When the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit in the specific game state ST13, the game shifts to a normal game state ST14. That is, in this embodiment, the normal jackpot support count is set to "100". It should be noted that the normal jackpot support count is not limited to "100 times" and can be changed as appropriate.

Also, when the probability variable jackpot A is derived and the state shifts to the second specific game state ST12, 10
It is possible to stay in the second specific game state ST12 until the special figure variation display game is executed 00 times, and the jackpot is not derived in the second specific game state ST12.
When the special figure variation display game is executed twice, the game moves to the first specific game state ST11. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of support times for the probability variable A jackpot is set to "1000 times". In addition, the number of times of support for the variable probability A jackpot is not limited to "1000 times", and can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be "until the next jackpot".

Further, as described above, the transition of the game state is also performed by derivation of the support win.
Specifically, in the normal game state ST14 and the third specific game state ST13, when the support hit is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game, the third specific game state after the end of the special figure variation display game. Move to ST13. That is, the transition (transition) of the game state when the probability variable jackpot or normal jackpot is derived passes through the special game state, whereas the transition (transition) of the game state when the support hit is derived is the special It does not go through the game state.

When the support hit A out of the support hits is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST13, it is possible to stay in the third specific game state ST13 until the special figure variation display game is executed 20 times. When the special figure variation display game is executed 20 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit in the third specific game state ST13, the game shifts to the normal game state ST14. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of times of support per support A is set to "20 times". It should be noted that the number of times of support per support A is not limited to "20 times", and can be changed as appropriate.

In addition, when the support hit B out of the support hits is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST13, the third specific game state ST13 continues until the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times.
, and when the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit in the third specific game state ST13, the normal game state ST1
Go to 4. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of times of support per support B is set to "100 times". It should be noted that the number of times of support per support B is not limited to "100 times", and can be changed as appropriate.

Further, when the support hit C out of the support hits is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST13, the third specific game state ST1 until the special figure variation display game is executed 1000 times.
3, and when the special figure variation display game is executed 1000 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit in the third specific game state ST13, the normal game state S
Move to T14. That is, in the present embodiment, the number of times of support per support C is "10
00 times”. Note that the number of times of support per support C is not limited to "1000 times", and can be changed as appropriate.

In this embodiment, in the case of shifting to the chance mode via the special game state and the case of shifting to the chance mode without passing through the special game state, the effect executed during the chance mode (using the display device 41 etc. production by display, production by sound using speakers 19a, 19b, etc., production by light using frame decoration device 18, board decoration device 46, etc., production by movable members using board production device 44, frame production device, etc. , at least one of the variation pattern selection modes) can be made different. That is, the production mode of the production executed in the chance mode generated based on the derivation of the big hit (normal jackpot, probability variable A jackpot), and the production mode executed in the chance mode generated based on the derivation of the support hit (support hit A to C). Since the performance mode can be made different, depending on the performance mode of the performance executed during the chance mode, whether the chance mode is generated based on the derivation of the big win or the one generated based on the derivation of the support hit. It can be suggested that

FIG. 9 shows an example of a variation pattern selection mode in the third specific game state ST13.
As shown in FIG. 9A, this embodiment has variation selection table groups A to D as variation selection table groups in which selectable variation patterns are defined. These variation selection table groups differ in the types of selectable variation patterns and selection ratios. As a result, the tendency of the execution mode of the special figure variation display game will differ depending on the variation selection table group to be used.

The type of variation selection table group to be used can be changed when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game in the third specific game state ST13 reaches a specified number of times (here, 20 times, 100 times).
A variation pattern scenario that defines the process of changing the variation selection table group differs for each type of chance mode. That is, the derived results are normal jackpots, support hits A to C
The variation pattern scenario selected is made different depending on which one.

In the case of chance mode A, which is a chance mode corresponding to support hit A, from the 0th time to 2
A variation pattern scenario using the variation selection table group A is selected for the 0th special figure variation display game.
In the case of chance mode B, which is a chance mode corresponding to support hit B, from the 0th time to 2
Using the variation selection table group A for the 0th special figure variation display game, from the 21st to 10th
A variation pattern scenario using the variation selection table group B is selected for the 0th special figure variation display game.

In the case of chance mode C, which is a chance mode corresponding to support hit C, 2 from the 0th time
Using the variation selection table group A for the 0th special figure variation display game, from the 21st to 10th
Using the variation selection table group B for the 0th special figure variation display game, 1 from the 101st time
A variation pattern scenario using the variation selection table group C is selected for the 000th special figure variation display game.
In the case of chance mode D, which is a chance mode corresponding to a normal jackpot, 2 times from the 0th time
Using the variation selection table group A for the 0th special figure variation display game, from the 21st to 10th
A variation pattern scenario using the variation selection table group D is selected for the 0th special figure variation display game.

By doing so, even if the third specific game state ST13 is the same, the execution mode of the special figure variation display game will be different due to the different variation pattern scenarios, and the execution mode of the special figure variation display game will change. It is born and can improve the interest of the game. In particular, both the supporter win B and the normal jackpot are in the third specific game state ST13 over the period of executing the special figure variation display game 100 times. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The selection of the variation selection table group is not limited to those described above, and can be set arbitrarily.
Further, as shown in FIG. 9(b), any one of a plurality of types of chance modes corresponding to support hits A to C and normal jackpots may be selected.
This example includes variation pattern scenarios using variation selection tables specific to each of the support hits A to C and the normal jackpot, and it is possible to guess the type of chance mode from the variation pattern.
For example, since chance mode A2 uses unique variation selection table group D, it is possible to guess that it is chance mode A, and chance mode B2 uses unique variation selection table groups E and F, so chance mode It becomes possible to guess that it is B. also,
In chance mode C2, since unique variation selection table groups G and H are used, it is possible to guess that it is chance mode C. In chance mode D2, since unique variation selection table groups J and K are used, the chance mode can be inferred to be D,
By doing so, the game becomes more diverse, and the enjoyment of guessing the type of the chance mode can be given, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

In addition, the timing at which the variation selection table group can be changed in the variation pattern scenario is
3rd specific game state ST1 as a break that may end the 3rd specific game state ST13
Although the 20th and 100th special figure variation display games are executed from the start of 3, the timing is not limited to this and can be set at any timing.
Also, the change timing of the variation selection table group may be different for each chance mode.

In addition, instead of determining all the variable selection table groups to be used at the start of the chance mode, the variable selection table group to be used next can be selected from multiple types at the timing when the variable selection table group can be changed. Also good.
Also, instead of a predetermined timing, a lottery for changing the variation selection table group may be performed each time the special figure variation display game is executed, and the change may be made when the lottery is won.
Also, although FIG. 9 describes the third specific game state ST13, it is possible to sequentially change the variation selection table group similarly in other game states.

In this embodiment, when the support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the general electricity support),
That is, when the support win is derived in the third specific game state ST13, the support count is reset and the support count corresponding to the new support win is set again.
Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 10(a), in the third specific game state ST13 shifted with the end of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit B", the support hit is reached in the 10th rotation. If A is derived, the number of remaining supports is changed from 90 to 20.
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 10(b), in the third specific game state ST13 shifted with the end of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit B", the support hit A is reached at the 90th rotation.
is derived, the number of remaining supports is changed from 10 to 20.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the production mode is changed in accordance with the change in the number of remaining support. That is, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 10(a), when the number of remaining supports is changed from 90 times to 20 times, the production mode changes from chance mode B (chance mode corresponding to support win B) to chance mode. It switches to A (chance mode corresponding to support hit A). Also, for example, in the example shown in FIG.
When changing to 0 times, the performance mode is switched from the chance mode B to the chance mode A. Along with this, the variation pattern scenario is also switched, and the variation selection table group is reset according to the switched variation pattern scenario.

Incidentally, when a new support hit is derived in the third specific game state ST13, a variation pattern scenario different from the variation pattern scenario corresponding to the derived support hit may be set.
For example, a specific variation pattern scenario different from the variation pattern scenario that can be selected when a support win is derived in the normal game state ST14 may be set. In this specific variation pattern scenario, a variation pattern scenario is set to select a specific variation selection table group different from the variation selection table group that can be selected when a support win is derived in the normal game state ST14. Also good. By doing so, when the support hit is derived for the first time in one continuous third specific game state ST13, the variation selection table group is changed, but after that, when the support hit is derived, the change The selection table group is maintained, and it is possible to give the impression that the continuous third specific game state ST13 is one by deriving the support hits a plurality of times.

Moreover, it is not necessary to change the presentation mode in response to the change in the number of remaining support. Specifically, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, chance mode B may be continued even after the number of remaining support times is changed to 20 times.
Also, only the rank-up of the production mode may be permitted, and the switching of the production mode such as the rank-down may not be performed. Specifically, for example, when the supporter hit derived after the supporter hit B is the supporter hit C, the production mode is switched from the chance mode B to the chance mode C (chance mode corresponding to the supporter hit C). , As shown in FIG. 10, if the supporter hit derived after the supporter hit B is the supporter hit A, switching the production mode from the chance mode B to the chance mode A lowers the rank, so the number of remaining supports. The chance mode B may be continued (or switched to a chance mode different from the chance mode A or the chance mode B) even after is changed.

Alternatively, when the support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the general electric support), the support count corresponding to the new support hit may be added to the remaining support count.
Specifically, for example, as shown in the left figure of FIG. If the support hit A is derived at , the remaining number of support will be changed from 90 times to 110 times (=90
times + 20 times), for example, as shown in the right figure of FIG. , when the support hit A is derived at the 90th rotation, the number of remaining supports may be changed from 10 times to 30 times (=10 times+20 times).

In this case, an upper limit number (for example, 1000 times) is set for the number of times of support, and if the sum of the remaining number of times of support and the number of times of support corresponding to the new support hit exceeds the upper limit number of times, the remaining number of times of support is You may make it change to the said upper limit number of times. Also, in this case, the rendering mode may or may not be changed in accordance with the change in the remaining support count. That is, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 11(a), when the remaining support count is changed, the production mode may be switched from the chance mode B to another chance mode,
Chance mode B may be continued even after the remaining support count is changed. Also, only the rank-up of the production mode may be permitted, and the switching of the production mode such as the rank-down may not be performed.

Alternatively, when the support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the general electric support), the remaining support count and the support count corresponding to the new support hit are compared, and the larger one (advantageous for the player) method) may be adopted. Specifically, for example, as shown in the left diagram of FIG. If the support hit A is derived in
The number of support times corresponding to the new support hit is 20 times, and the remaining number of support times (90 times)
Since it is less than, while not changing the remaining number of support, for example, as shown in the right figure of FIG.
In the specific game state ST13, when the support hit A is derived at the 90th rotation, the support count corresponding to the new support hit is 20 times, which is greater than the remaining support count (10 times). may be changed from 10 times to 20 times.

In this case, the presentation mode may or may not be changed in accordance with the change in the remaining support count. That is, for example, in the example shown in the right diagram of FIG. 11(b), when the remaining support count is changed, the production mode may be switched from chance mode B to another chance mode, or the remaining support count may be changed. Chance mode B may be continued even after is changed. Also, only the rank-up of the production mode may be permitted, and the switching of the production mode such as the rank-down may not be performed.

In the present embodiment, the effect performed during execution of the support winning game (the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support winning") is a special effect (described later) such as a battle effect.
In addition, the number of remaining support and the number of support corresponding to the new support hit, whichever is greater (
In a gaming machine 10 (that is, a gaming machine 10 that performs the control shown in FIG. 11(b)) that employs a support win game that employs the number of times of support (for example, the ) in which the result in the right figure is “support hit A”), a special effect is performed only during execution, and a support hit game in which the number of support times is not adopted (for example, FIG. 11 (b
) in which the result in the left figure is "support win A"), the special effects may not be performed during the execution of the special figure variation display game).
The support hit variation pattern selected when the result is "support hit" is a variation pattern that takes into account the execution of a special effect during the support hit game, so the special effect is executed during the support hit game. If not, it is better to make adjustments such as making the temporary stop display time of the game result longer than in the case of executing the special effect.

Further, in the example shown in the left diagram of FIG. 11(b), as a result of the support win game in which the number of support is not adopted, the support win symbol (here, the support win A symbol) is stopped and displayed. Not limited. For example, as a result of a win-win-support game in which the number of times of support is not adopted, instead of win-win-support symbols, losing symbols may be stopped and displayed. In the game machine 10 configured to adopt the larger one (which is advantageous for the player) of the remaining number of support times and the number of support times corresponding to the new support win, the effect control device 300 is the game control device 100.
Based on the command transmitted from, it is determined whether or not the game control device 100 has determined not to adopt the number of times of support corresponding to the new support hit. Specifically, the production control device 300
is, for example, the support number based on the decorative special figure command for notifying the stop symbol on the display device 41, and the support number based on the time shortening variation number command for notifying the time shortening variation number (support number). In comparison, if different, it is determined that the game control device 100 has determined not to adopt the number of times of support corresponding to the new support hit. Then, when it is determined that the game control device 100 determines not to adopt the number of times of support corresponding to the new support hit, as a result of the support hit game, the pattern specified by the decoration special figure command (the new support hit In place of the support hit symbol corresponding to ), the losing symbol may be stopped and displayed.

In addition, in the example shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the support hit derived during the chance mode (during the general electric support) is the support hit A, but it is not limited to this. That is, the support win A may be derived during the chance mode, the support win B may be derived during the chance mode, and the support win C may be derived during the chance mode.

Here, in this embodiment, the support hit variation pattern selected when the result is "support hit" is the SP reach of the variation patterns selected when the result is "big hit" or "loss" is the same as the fluctuation pattern that occurs. That is, SP reach occurs in the support winning game. In addition, in the present embodiment, if the result is a special figure variation display game other than "support hit", and the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game is a variation pattern in which SP reach occurs, the special figure Special effects such as battle effects (to be described later) can be executed even during execution of the figure-variable display game.
In addition, special effects such as battle effects (described later) may be executable even during execution of a special figure variation display game in which SP reach does not occur. In addition, special effects such as battle effects (described later) may be dedicated to the support winning game, and may not be executed during the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game in which the result is "big hit" or "lost". .

In addition, the support per variation pattern may be the same as the variation pattern in which the SP reach does not occur among the variation patterns selected when the result is "big hit" or "loss",
It may be a variation pattern dedicated to the support winning game.
For example, if you are not in the chance mode, you can select a variation pattern dedicated to the support game, and if you are in the chance mode, you can use a variation pattern that is combined with a special figure variation display game other than the support game (for example, the result is By selecting a variation pattern that causes SP reach among the variation patterns selected in the case of "big hit" or "losing", the dedicated variation pattern has a longer variation time than the shared variation pattern. may be set as a variation pattern. As a result, the variation time of the support winning game that is executed when the chance mode is not on is longer than the variation time of the support winning game that is performed when the chance mode is on. During the fluctuation time of the support winning game, it is possible to reliably execute mode selection and effect explanation etc. related to the chance mode (third specific game state ST13), and the effect (fanfare effect) executed at the start of the chance mode etc.).

Alternatively, the stop display time of the support winning game may be longer than the stop display time of the special figure variation display game other than the support winning game. As a result, it is possible to reliably execute mode selection and production explanations related to the chance mode during the stop display time of the support game, so the production (fanfare production, etc.) executed at the start of the chance mode You can have a connection with

Alternatively, a variation pattern with a relatively long variation time may be selected as the variation pattern of the first special figure variation display game after shifting to the chance mode. Specifically, for example,
When the result of the first special figure variation display game after shifting to the chance mode is "loss", the variation pattern selected when the result is "loss" as the variation pattern of the special figure variation display game. Among them, a variation pattern with a relatively long variation time, or a variation pattern dedicated to the first special figure variation display game after shifting to the chance mode may be selected. As a result, when the chance mode is started, it is possible to reliably execute mode selection, effect explanation, and the like related to the chance mode. In addition, this makes it possible to accumulate the second starting memory before the game is switched to the chance mode and the first special figure variation display game ends. Since the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a gaming machine that executes the special figure 2 variation display game with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, it becomes the chance mode and the first special figure variation display game ends. By generating the second start memory by, the main variation (
It is possible to execute the special figure 2 variable display game), and the game can be advanced so as to be advantageous to the player.

The control of the gaming machine that performs such games will be described below. First, the game control device 10
0 game microcomputer (game microcomputer) 111 will be described. The control processing by the gaming microcomputer 111 mainly consists of main processing shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 and timer interrupt processing shown in FIG.

[Main processing]
First, the main processing will be explained. Main processing is started when the power is turned on. In this main processing, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, first, processing for prohibiting interrupts (step X1) is performed. A stack pointer setting process (step X2) for setting a certain stack pointer is performed. Next, register bank 0 is specified (step X3), and the upper address of the RAM top address is set in a predetermined register (for example, D register) (step X
4). In the case of this embodiment, the range of RAM addresses is 0000h to 01FFh, with 00h or 01h being the higher order, and the top 00h being set in step X4. Next, a firing stop signal is output and the firing permission signal is set to a prohibited state (step X5). When at least one of the game control device 100 and the payout control device 200 is outputting a firing stop signal, the firing permission signal is set to a prohibited state, and the firing of game balls is prohibited.

Thereafter, the states of the RAM initialization switch 112 and the setting key switch 152 are read (step X6), and processing for setting the power-on delay timer (step X7) is performed. In the process of step X7, by setting a predetermined initial value, the game control device 1 acting as main control means
Waiting time (for example, 3 seconds) for waiting for the program of the subordinate control means (for example, payout control device 200 and effect control device 300) to start normally according to instructions from 00
is set. As a result, when the power is turned on, if the game control device 100 starts up first and the command is sent to the slave control device before the slave control device (for example, the payout control device 200 or the effect control device 300) starts up, and the slave control device can avoid missing commands. That is, the game control device 100 delays the start of the main control means (game control device 100) when the power is turned on, and waits for the start of the sub-control device (payout control device 200, effect control device 300, etc.). It constitutes waiting means for setting a waiting time.

In addition, the power-on delay timer clocks time using a storage area that is not subject to RAM validity determination (checksum calculation) (RAM area not subject to validity determination, registers, or the like). As a result, when calculating check data such as a checksum of the RAM area, it is not necessary to exclude a part of the RAM area from the calculation, so that the control at power-on can be prevented from becoming complicated.

After performing the process of setting the power-on delay timer (step X7), it is determined whether a power failure has occurred (step X8), and if a power failure has occurred (step X8; Y), the game machine power wait for it to shut off.
Specifically, in step X8, for example, the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 400 is read via the port and data bus and the number of times (for example, two times) to be checked is set, and the power failure monitoring signal is turned on. determine whether there is Then, if the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal continues to be on for the set number of checks. If the on state of the power failure monitoring signal has not continued for the number of checks, the process returns to the determination of whether the power failure monitoring signal is on. Further, if the power failure monitoring signal continues to be on for the number of checks, it is determined that a power failure has occurred. The same applies to steps X34 and X54, which will be described later. In this way, by judging that a power failure has occurred when a power failure monitoring signal is continuously received for a predetermined period of time, it is possible to prevent false detection of a power failure due to noise, etc., and to appropriately handle problems that occur when the power is turned on. can do.

That is, the game control device 100 serves as power failure monitoring means for monitoring the occurrence of power failure during a predetermined waiting time. As a result, it is possible to cope with a power failure that occurs during the period in which the activation of the game control device 100, which constitutes the main control means, is delayed, and it is possible to appropriately deal with problems that occur when the power is turned on. Note that access to the RAM is not permitted until the standby time is over, and the memory contents of the previous power shutdown are still retained, so backup processing, etc. will be performed when a power failure occurs here. No need. Therefore, even if a power failure occurs during the standby time, there is no need to back up the RAM, and the burden of control can be reduced.

On the other hand, if no power failure has occurred (step X8; N), the power-on delay timer is updated by -1 (step X9), and it is determined whether the timer value is 0 (step X10).
If the timer value is not 0 (step X10; N), that is, if the standby time has not expired, the process returns to the process of determining whether a power failure has occurred (step X8). Also, if the timer value is 0 (step X10; Y), that is, if the waiting time has expired,
Access to a readable and writable RWM (read/write memory) such as RAM and EEPROM is permitted (step X11), and off data is output to all output ports (set to no output state) (step X12).

Next, a serial port (a port pre-installed in the game microcomputer 111, in this embodiment, used for communication with the effect control device 300 and the payout control device 200) is set (step X13), and the game microcomputer 111 (clock generator) to start a CTC (Counter/Timer Circuit) circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal and a random number update trigger signal (CTC) (step X14). Incidentally, the CTC circuit is provided in the clock generator in the gaming microcomputer 111 . The clock generator includes a frequency dividing circuit that divides the oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the oscillation circuit 113, and the CPU 1 based on the frequency-divided signal.
11A has a CTC circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal with a predetermined period (for example, 4 milliseconds) and a signal CTC that triggers random number update to be supplied to the random number generation circuit.
Next, a RAM abnormality flag is set (step X15). Here, regardless of whether or not there is an abnormality in the RAM, on the premise that there is an abnormality in the RAM, a RAM abnormality flag is temporarily set in a predetermined register.

Next, it is determined whether the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection area check data 1 (eg, 5Ah) (step X16), and if normal (step X16; Y),
Power failure inspection area check data 2 where the value of power failure inspection area 2 in RWM is normal (for example, A5h)
(step X17). Then, if the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (step X17; Y), a checksum calculation process (step X18) is performed to calculate the checksum of the predetermined area in the RWM. match the checksum (step X19). If the checksums match (step X19; Y)
Since there is no abnormality in the RAM, the RAM abnormality flag is cleared (step X20), and the process proceeds to step X21.

Further, when it is determined that the check data in the power failure inspection area is not normal data (step X16; N or step X17; N), when it is determined that the checksum does not match (step X19; N), step Based on the state read by X6, it is determined whether both the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are on (step X21). If at least one of the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 is off (step X21; N), it is determined whether the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X22). If the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X22; Y), since there is an abnormality in the RAM, the main abnormality error notification command for notifying that the game control device 100 is abnormal is sent to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step X24).

On the other hand, if the RAM abnormality flag is not set (step X22; N), it is determined whether or not the probability setting changing flag is set (step X23). Then, when the probability setting changing flag is set (step X23; Y), a command for main abnormality error notification is transmitted to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step X24). The probability setting flag that is set here is the probability setting flag that was set before the power failure occurred. In other words, if the gaming machine is powered off and restarted while the probability set value is being changed,
Since the operation of the game control device 100 is stopped, the process of step X24 is performed.
Next, the 7-segment display data when the game is stopped is output to the fifth driver 138e through the second output port 134 (step X25). After that, the on data of the security signal is output and the off data of the signal other than the security signal is output (step X26).
, return to step X25.

If both the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are on (step X21; Y), it is determined whether the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X27). Then, if the RAM abnormality flag is not set (step X27
;N), a probability setting changing flag is set (step X29). This shifts to the probability setting value change mode. After that, a command for changing the probability setting is transmitted to the production control board (production control device 300) (step X30), and the process proceeds to step X31. In the production control device 300, based on the reception of the command for changing the probability setting, the display of the display device 41, the LED emission of the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46, the operation of the board production device 44, the speaker 1
The fact that the probability set value is being changed is notified by means of voice output from 9a and 19b.
On the other hand, when the RAM abnormality flag is set (step X27; Y), the process of clearing the probability set value (step X28) is performed. As a result, 0 is set in the probability setting value area in the RWM, and the probability setting value becomes "setting 1". After that, step X29,
The process of X30 is performed, and the process proceeds to step X31.

Further, when at least one of the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 is in the OFF state (step X21; N) and neither the RAM abnormality flag nor the probability setting changing flag is set (step X22; N and step X23 ;N), it is determined whether the setting key switch 152 is on based on the state read in step X6 (step X35). If the setting key switch 152 is not on (step X35; N
), it is determined whether the RAM initialization switch 112 is on based on the state read in step X6 (step X43).

If it is determined that the RAM initialization switch 112 is not on (step X43; N)
In other words, when both the setting key switch 152 and the RAM initialization switch 112 are in the off state, the process moves to step X41 to perform the processing for the normal recovery from the power failure.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the RAM initialization switch 112 is on (step X43
In ;Y), the process proceeds to step X44 to perform the initialization process. That is, the RAM initialization switch 112 forms an initialization operation unit that can be operated from the outside, and the game control device 100 initializes the data stored in the RAM based on the operation of the initialization operation unit. make a means of

If the setting key switch 152 is on (step X35; Y), the probability setting checking flag is set (step X36). This shifts to the probability set value confirmation mode. After that, the command during probability setting confirmation is produced by the production control board (production control device 300)
(step X37). In the effect control device 300, based on the reception of the probability setting confirmation command, the display of the display device 41, the LED of the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46
By the light emission of, the operation of the board effect device 44, the sound output by the speakers 19a and 19b, etc.
It notifies that the probability setting value is being confirmed.

Then, in order to guarantee the output of the security signal for 50 ms or more, a value corresponding to 128 ms is saved in the security signal control timer area (step X31). The security signal is output in the probability setting change/confirmation processing (step X122) of the timer interrupt processing when the probability setting value change mode or the probability setting value confirmation mode is selected. It is output in the process (step X120). Therefore, 12
If the probability set value change mode or the probability set value confirmation mode ends in less than 8 milliseconds, the security signal is continuously output by the external information editing process (step X120) of the timer interrupt process. That is, even if the probability setting value change mode or the probability setting value confirmation mode ends in less than 128 milliseconds, the security signal is not output for 128 milliseconds after shifting to the probability setting value change mode or probability setting value confirmation mode. be. The value saved in the security signal control timer area in step X31 is not limited to the value corresponding to 128 ms. However, at least 5
Since it is necessary to output the security signal during 0 ms, it is necessary to save the value corresponding to 50 ms or more.

Then, the interrupt is permitted (step X32), and it is determined whether the setting key switch 152 is off (step X33). At step X33, determination is not made based on the state read at step X6 (state at the time of power-on), but the state (current state) read in the input processing (step X103) of the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 14). decision based on If it is determined in step X33 that the setting key switch 152 is in the OFF state, the probability set value is determined.
If the setting key switch 152 is not in the off state (step X33; N), it is determined whether a power failure has occurred (step X34), and if no power failure has occurred (step X34;
N), the process returns to step X33, and when a power failure occurs (step X34; Y), the process proceeds to step X55. When it is determined in step X34 that a power failure has occurred while the probability setting change flag is set, in step X23 of the main processing (FIGS. 12 and 13) after recovery from the power failure, It is determined that the probability setting changing flag is set.

On the other hand, if the setting key switch 152 is in the OFF state (step X33; Y), a process of prohibiting interruption (step X38) is performed. Processing for enabling interrupts (step X32
) and before the interrupt prohibiting process (steps X38, X55), the timer interrupt process (FIG. 14) is performed at a predetermined time period (for example, 4 ms). In the timer interrupt processing, probability setting change/confirmation processing (step X122
) is performed. In other words, the main process is on standby until the change or confirmation of the probability set value is completed (or until a power failure occurs).
Then, a command for ending notification is transmitted to the effect control board (effect control device 300) (step X39). In the effect control device 300, based on the reception of the notification end command,
The notification being executed (notification indicating that the probability setting value is being changed or notification indicating that the probability setting value is being confirmed) is terminated.

Next, it is determined whether the probability setting changing flag is set (step X40), and if the probability setting changing flag is not set (step X40; N), that is, if the probability setting checking flag is set is the area to be initialized (for example, the blackout inspection area,
A power failure recovery process (step X41) is performed to save an initial value at the time of power failure recovery in a checksum area and an area related to error monitoring). The probability setting confirming flag is cleared at this step X41.
After that, the power failure recovery command corresponding to the special game processing number is transmitted to the production control board (production control device 300) (step X42), and the process proceeds to step X47. In the case of this embodiment, in step X42, a plurality of commands such as model designation command, probability setting information command, special figure 1 reservation number command, special figure 2 reservation number command, probability information command, effect number information command, screen designation command Send command. As a command for specifying the screen, when the special figure 1 and special figure 2 are both in the normal processing described later, that is, when the special figure fluctuation display game is not being executed and the special game state is not in progress If it is waiting for a customer Send the command for the customer waiting demo screen, otherwise send the command for the recovery screen. Also, depending on the model, in addition to these commands, a high-probability number-of-times information command or the like is also transmitted.

On the other hand, if the probability setting changing flag is set (step X40; Y), the RAM area other than the probability setting value is cleared to 0 (step X44). At step X44, the RAM area for the probability setting value (work area (1-byte area for the probability setting value)) and the RAM area (work area and stack area) for performance display (display of base value and character ratio) are cleared. Instead, 0 clear the RAM area for game control (work area and stack area). Therefore, the probability setting changing flag is cleared at this step X44. Note that in step X44,
The stack area and unused area may or may not be cleared.

Then, the initial value at the time of RAM initialization is saved in the area to be initialized (step X45).
. The area to be initialized here is an area related to setting of the customer waiting demonstration area and the production mode. And, the command at the time of RAM initialization is transmitted to the production control board (production control device 300) (step X46). In the case of this embodiment, in step X46, model designation command, probability setting information command, special figure 1 reservation number command, special figure 2 reservation number command, probability information command, effect number information command, RAM initialization command (customer waiting A demonstration screen is displayed, and a plurality of commands such as a command for notifying RAM initialization with light and sound for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) are transmitted. Depending on the model, in addition to these commands,
A support frequency information command, etc., which is information on the number of executions of the special figure fluctuation display game with the performance frequency information command and the general electric support, is also transmitted.

Next, a process for starting and setting the random number generation circuit is performed (step X47). Specifically, the CPU 111A sets a code (specified value) for activating the random number generation circuit in a predetermined register (CTC update permission register) in the random number generation circuit. Also, the bit permutation pattern of the hard random number (here, the jackpot random number) generated by the hardware of the random number generating circuit is set. The bit permutation pattern is a method of permuting the bit arrangement of the extracted random numbers (arrangement before bit transposition in the upper row) in a predetermined order and storing it as a different bit arrangement (arrangement after bit transposition in the lower row). is a pattern that defines By replacing the bits of the random number according to this bit permutation pattern, it is possible to break the regularity of the random number and improve the secrecy of the random number. The bit transposition pattern may be a single fixed pattern, or may be selected from a plurality of prepared patterns. In addition, the user may be able to arbitrarily set it.

After that, predetermined registers (soft random number registers 1 to n) in the random number generation circuit when the power is turned on
Extract the value of the corresponding various initial random numbers (in the case of this embodiment, the special pattern random number that determines the winning pattern of the special pattern, the random number that determines the winning pattern of the general pattern (hit random number)) initial value (start value) in a predetermined area of the RWM (step X48), and then enable interrupts (step X48).
49). Since the random number generation circuit in the CPU 111A used in this embodiment is configured so that the initial value of the soft random number register changes each time power is turned on, this value is used as the initial value (start value) of various initial random numbers. By doing so, the regularity of the random numbers generated by the software can be broken, making it difficult for the player to acquire illegal random numbers.

Subsequently, an initial value random number update process (step X50) is performed to update the values of various initial value random numbers to break the regularity of the random numbers. Although not particularly limited, in this embodiment, the jackpot random number, the special symbol random number, and the winning random number are configured to be generated using random numbers generated in the random number generating circuit. However, the jackpot random number is a so-called "high-speed counter" that is updated based on a clock with a speed equal to or higher than the CPU operating clock, and the special pattern random number and the hit random number are the same as the timer interrupt processing, which is the processing unit of the program. Periodic CTC output (
It is a "low-speed counter" updated based on a CTC (CTC2) different from the CTC (CTC0) of timer interrupt processing. In addition, in the special pattern random number and the hit random number, the so-called "initial value change method" is adopted to change the start value using each initial value random number (generated by software) each time the random number goes around. Each of the random numbers may be updated by a counter with +1 or -1, or may be updated by a random method in which all the values within the range appear separately without duplication until one cycle is completed. That is, the jackpot random numbers are random numbers updated only by hardware, and the special symbol random numbers and winning random numbers are random numbers updated by hardware and software.
In the present embodiment, since there is no random number (hit pattern random number) for determining the winning pattern of the general pattern, there is only one type of winning pattern of the general pattern, but the winning pattern of the general pattern is set by providing the winning pattern random number. may be selected from a plurality of types.

After the initial value random number update process of step X50, the process of prohibiting interrupts (step X51)
to perform performance display editing processing (step X52). Then, after performing the process of permitting the interrupt (step X53), it is determined whether a power failure has occurred (step X54), and if the power failure has not occurred (step X54; N), the initial value random number update process (Step X5
0). That is, when a power failure has not occurred, the initial value random number updating process, performance display editing process, and power failure monitoring are repeatedly performed. By enabling the interrupt (step X49) before the initial value random number update process (step X50), if a timer interrupt occurs during the initial value random number update process, the interrupt process is preferentially executed. It is possible to avoid pressure on the interrupt processing due to the waiting by the initial value random number update processing.

Note that the initial value random number updating process in step X50 can be performed not only in the main process but also in the timer interrupt process. In order to avoid executing the random number update process, when performing the initial value random number update process in the main process, it is necessary to disable interrupts and then update to cancel the interrupts.
If the initial value random number update process is not performed in the timer interrupt process as in the present embodiment, but only in the main process, there is no problem even if the interrupt is canceled before the initial value random number update process. This has the advantage of simplifying the main processing.

On the other hand, if a power failure has occurred (step X54; Y), a process of temporarily prohibiting interrupts (step X55) and a process of outputting OFF data to all output ports (step X56) are performed.
After that, the power failure inspection area check data 1 is saved in the power failure inspection area 1 (step X57
), and the power failure inspection area check data 2 is saved in the power failure inspection area 2 (step X58).
Furthermore, after performing checksum calculation processing (step X59) for calculating the checksum at the time of power shutdown of the RWM and processing for saving the calculated checksum (step X60), the RW
After executing the process of prohibiting access to M (step X61), it waits until the power supply of the game machine is cut off. In this way, by saving the check data in the power failure inspection area and calculating the checksum when the power is shut off, it is possible to check whether the information stored in the RWM before the power shutoff has been correctly backed up. It can be determined when re-entering.

From the above, the main control means (game control device 100) that controls the game overall, and the sub-control means (payout control device 200, effect control device 300, etc.) that perform various controls according to the instructions from the main control means ), the main control means delays the activation of the main control means and sets a predetermined standby time for waiting for the activation of the slave control device when the power is turned on (game control device 100) and power failure monitoring means (game control device 100) for monitoring the occurrence of power failure during the predetermined waiting time.
Also, a power supply device 400 that supplies power to various devices is provided, and the power supply device 400 is configured to output a power failure monitoring signal when the occurrence of a power failure is detected, power failure monitoring means (game control device 100) , it is determined that a power failure has occurred when the power failure monitoring signal continues to be received for a predetermined period of time.

In addition, the main control means (game control device 100) includes a RAM 111C capable of storing data,
An initialization operation unit (RAM initialization switch 112) that can be operated from the outside, and an initialization means (RAM initialization switch 112) that initializes data stored in the RAM 111C based on the operation of the initialization operation unit (
A game control device 100) is provided, and the operation state of the initialization means is read before the start of the standby time.
Also, the main control means (game control device 100) permits access to the RAM 111C after the waiting time has elapsed.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. Timer interrupt processing is started when a periodic timer interrupt signal generated by the CTC circuit in the clock generator is input to the CPU 111A. That is, it is an interrupt routine that is started at predetermined intervals. When a timer interrupt occurs in the game microcomputer 111, the interrupt is automatically disabled, and FIG.
timer interrupt processing is started.

When timer interrupt processing is started, first, register bank 1 is specified (step X1
01). By switching to register bank 1, it is equivalent to performing a register saving process to transfer the value held in a predetermined register (for example, the register used in the main process) to the RWM. Next, the upper address of the RAM head address is set in a predetermined register (for example, D register) (step X102). At step X102, the same processing as step X4 in the main processing is performed, but the register bank is different. Next, an input process (step X103) for reading inputs and signals from various sensors and switches, that is, reading the state of each input port is performed.

Next, it is determined whether the probability setting changing flag or the probability setting checking flag is set (step X104), and if the probability setting changing flag or the probability setting checking flag is set (step X104; Y) , probability setting change/confirmation processing (step X122)
to terminate the timer interrupt processing.
On the other hand, if both the probability setting changing flag and the probability setting checking flag are not set (step X104; N), the solenoids (large winning opening solenoids 38b, 39b) are controlled based on the output data set in various processes. , lever solenoid 38f, general electric solenoid 37
Output processing (step X105) for performing drive control of actuators such as c) is performed. When a firing stop signal is output in step X5 in the main processing, a firing permission signal is output by performing this output processing, and the firing permission signal can be set to the permission state. This launch permission signal is output to the launch control device via the payout control device. At that time, signal processing and the like are not performed. In addition, the launch permission signal is the first signal indicating the state of launch permission viewed from the game control device, and the second signal (fire permission signal) indicating the state of firing permission viewed from the payout control device is also payout control. It is generated within the device and output to the launch control device. In other words, two launch permission signals are output to the launch control device, and when both are permitted to launch, the game ball can be launched.

Next, payout command transmission processing (step X106) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 200, random number update processing 1 (step X107),
Random number update process 2 (step X108) is performed. In the random number update process 1 (step X107), the initial values (start values) of the special symbol random numbers and hit random numbers that are the targets of the initial value random number update process are updated. After that, monitoring whether or not there is a normal signal input from the starting port 1 switch 36a, the starting port 2 switch 37a, the winning port switch 35a, the big winning port switches 38a and 39a, the setting of the prize balls, the front frame and the glass Winning port switch/state monitoring processing (step X109) for monitoring errors such as frame opening and illegal winning to the normal variable winning device 37 and special variable winning devices 38 and 39 is performed.

Next, it is determined whether abnormal discharge is occurring (step X110). Abnormal discharge means that the number of game balls discharged from the first special variable prize winning device 38 (the number of game balls detected by the specific area switch 38d and the remaining ball discharge port switch 38e) is It is to exceed the number of game balls flowing into the first special variable winning device 38 (the number of game balls detected by the big winning opening switch 38a). Note that an abnormal discharge flag is set when abnormal discharge is occurring. Then, when abnormal discharge is occurring (step X110; Y), the process proceeds to step X116. That is, the game is prevented from progressing.

On the other hand, if abnormal discharge is not occurring (step X110; N), the special figure game processing (step X112) for performing the processing relating to the special figure variation display game, the normal figure game processing (step X112) for performing the processing relating to the normal figure variation display game X114) is performed, and the segment LED editing process (step X115) for driving the segment LED provided in the gaming machine 10 to display the special figure variation display game and various information related to the game so as to display the desired content is performed. conduct.

Next, magnet fraud monitoring processing (step X116) for checking the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 61 and determining whether there is an abnormality, and processing for checking the detection signal from the board radio wave sensor 62 and determining whether there is an abnormality. board radio fraud monitoring process (step X117), vibration fraud monitoring process (step X118) of checking the detection signal from the vibration sensor 65 to determine whether there is an abnormality, and determination of whether abnormal discharge has occurred Abnormal discharge monitoring processing (step X119) is performed. Furthermore, external information editing processing (step X120) for setting signals to be output to various external devices in the output buffer, performance display monitor control processing (step X121) for controlling the performance display device 153, and timer interrupt processing are completed. do.

Here, in this embodiment, the process of restoring the interrupt disabled state (that is, the process of enabling interrupts) and the process of restoring the specification of the register bank (that is, the process of specifying register bank 0) automatically (at the end of timer interrupt processing). It should be noted that depending on the CPU used, there are game machines that require an instruction to execute a process for restoring the interrupt disabled state or a process for restoring the designation of the register bank.

[Special game processing]
Next, the details of the special figure game processing (step X112) in the timer interrupt processing described above will be described. In the special game process, the starting port 1 switch 36a and the starting port 2 switch 3
Monitoring of the input of 7a, control of the entire processing related to the special figure fluctuation display game, and setting of the display of the special figure.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the special game process, first, a start switch monitoring process (step A1) for monitoring the winning of the start 1 switch 36a and the start 2 switch 37a is performed. In the starting opening switch monitoring process, the starting winning opening 36 and the normal variable winning device 3 forming the second starting winning opening
7. When there is a prize for a game ball, various random numbers (such as a jackpot random number) are extracted, and the game result based on the prize is determined in advance at the stage before the start of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the prize. make a judgment.

Next, a special winning opening switch monitoring process (step A2) is performed. In this special winning opening switch monitoring process, the detection of game balls is monitored by the upper big winning opening switch 38a provided in the first special variable winning device 38, and the lower special winning opening switch 38a provided in the second special variable winning device 39 Big prize mouth switch 39a
Performs processing for monitoring the detection of game balls in. Then, specific area switch monitoring processing for monitoring the detection of game balls in the specific area 38h is performed (step A3).

Next, if the special game processing timer is not "0", it is updated by -1 (step A4). In addition, the minimum value of the special figure game processing timer is set to "0". Then, it is determined whether the value of the special game processing timer is "0" (step A5). The value of the special game processing timer is "
0" (step A5; Y), i.e., if the time has expired or has already expired, register the special figure game sequence branch table to be referred to for branching to the process corresponding to the special figure game process number. (step A6), and acquires the branch destination address of the process corresponding to the special game process number using the table (step A7).
Then, a subroutine call is made according to the special game processing number (step A8).

In step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "0", the start of variation of the special figure variation display game is monitored, and the setting of the variation start of the special figure variation display game, the setting of the effect, and the special figure variation are performed. A special figure normal process (step A9) for setting information necessary for processing is performed.
At step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "1", the setting of the special figure stop display time, the setting of the information necessary for performing the special figure display processing, etc. (Step A
10).

At step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "2", if the game result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the setting of the fanfare command according to the kind of the big win and the big winning opening of each big win. Special figure display process (step A11
)I do.

At step A8, if the special game processing number is "3", the setting of the opening time of the big winning gate, the update of the number of times of opening, the setting of information necessary for performing the processing during the opening of the big winning gate, etc. are performed. A fanfare/interval processing (step A12) is performed.
In step A8, if the special game processing number is "4", if the jackpot round is not the final round, an interval command is set, and if it is the final round, an ending command is set, and a large winning opening remains. A process (step A13) during the opening of the big winning opening for setting information necessary for ball processing is performed.

At step A8, if the special game process number is "5", if the big win round is the last round, the process of setting the time for the remaining balls in the big winning opening to be discharged and the big win end process are performed. Large winning hole remaining ball processing (step A14) for setting information necessary for performing
I do.
At step A8, if the special figure game process number is "6", a jackpot end process (step A15) for setting information necessary for carrying out the special figure normal process is performed.

At step A8, if the special game processing number is "7", the opening time and opening pattern of the big winning opening when a small win occurs are set, the fanfare command is set, and processing during the small win is performed. Processing (step A16) during a small winning fanfare for setting necessary information and the like is performed.
At step A8, if the special game processing number is "8", the small hit medium processing (step A
17).
In step A8, if the special game processing number is "9", a process of setting a time for discharging the remaining balls that have won a prize in the big winning opening during the small winning process, or a small winning ending process. A small hit remaining ball process (step A18) for setting information necessary for performing is performed.
At step A8, if the special figure game processing number is "10", small winning end processing (step A19) for setting information necessary for carrying out special figure normal processing, etc. is performed.

After that, after preparing a table for controlling the variation of the special figure 1 indicator 51 (step A
20), symbol variation control processing (step A21) relating to the control of the variation of the special symbol by the special figure 1 display device 51 is performed. Then, after preparing a table for controlling the variation of the special figure 2 indicator 52 (step A22), the symbol variation control process (step A23) relating to the control of the special symbol variation by the special figure 2 indicator 52 is performed. . Thereafter, a lever solenoid control process (step A24) for controlling the operation of the lever solenoid 38f is performed, and the special figure game process is terminated. On the other hand, in step A5, if the value of the special game processing timer is not "0" (step A5;
N), that is, if the time has not expired, the process proceeds to step A20 and the subsequent processes are performed.

[Starting port switch monitoring process]
Next, the details of the startup switch monitoring process (step A1) in the special game process described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 16, in the starting opening switch monitoring process, first, a first starting opening (starting winning opening 36) winning monitoring table is prepared (step A101), hardware random number acquisition processing (step A102) is performed, It is determined whether or not there is a prize to the 1 start opening (step A103).
If it is determined in step A103 that there is no winning to the first starting port (step A103
In ;N), the process proceeds to step A109 and the subsequent processes are performed.
On the other hand, in step A103, if it is determined that there is a winning prize to the first starting port (step A
103; Y), it is determined whether or not it is during special working hours (during general electricity support) (step A
104).

At step A104, when it is determined that it is not in the special figure time saving (step A104; N), the process proceeds to step A107 and the subsequent processes are performed.
On the other hand, in step A104, when it is determined that it is in the special figure time saving (step A104;
In Y), a right-handed instruction notification command is prepared (step A105), and effect command setting processing (step A106) for transmitting the command to the effect control device 300 is performed. That is, if it is a time-saving state, regardless of the probability state of the special figure variation display game, a right-handed instruction notification command is prepared (step A105), and effect command setting processing (step A106) is performed. In the case of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a prize is not won unless the first starting port (starting prize port 36) is hit to the left, and a prize is not won to the normal fluctuation prize winning device 37 unless the ball is hit to the right. Therefore, the time-saving state is a game state in which right-handed hitting is more advantageous than left-handed hitting, but when there is a first start opening winning during the time-saving state (that is, when left-handed during the time-saving state) , a right-handed instruction notification command is transmitted to the production control device 300, and the production control device 300 performs notification (warning) instructing to hit to the right.
Next, after preparing a table for setting information on hold by the first starting port (starting winning port 36) (step A107), special figure starting port switch common processing (step A108) is performed.

Next, the second starting port (normal variable winning device 37) prepares a winning monitoring table (step A1
09), a hardware random number acquisition process (step A110) is performed, and it is determined whether or not there is a winning in the second start opening (step A111).
If it is determined in step A111 that there is no winning to the second starting port (step A111
At ;N), the starting port switch monitoring process is terminated.
On the other hand, in step A111, if it is determined that there is a winning prize to the second starting port (step A
111; Y), the normal electric accessory (normal variable winning device 37) is in operation, that is,
It is determined whether or not the normal variation winning device 37 is in an open state in which game balls can be won (step A112), and when it is determined that the normal electric accessory is in operation (step A112; Y). , the process proceeds to step A114, and the subsequent processes are performed. On the other hand, step A
At 112, when it is determined that the normal electric accessory is not in operation (step A112; N), it is determined whether the normal electric fraud is occurring (step A113).

In determining whether or not fraud is occurring, it is determined that fraud is occurring when the number of fraudulent winnings to the normal variable winning device 37 is equal to or greater than the number of fraudulent occurrence determinations (for example, 5). The normal variable winning device 37 cannot win a game ball when it is closed, and can win a game ball only when it is open. Therefore, if a game ball wins in the closed state, it means that some kind of abnormality or dishonesty has occurred.
If there is a game ball that wins in such a closed state, the number is counted as the number of fraudulent wins.
Then, when the number of fraudulent prizes thus counted is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (upper limit) for determination of fraud occurrence, it is determined that fraud is occurring.

At step A113, if it is determined that the general electric fraud is not occurring (step A113; N), after preparing a table for setting information on suspension by the second start port (normal variable winning device 37) (step A114), special Performing the figure start port switch common processing (step A115),
Terminate the start switch monitoring process. Further, when it is determined in step A113 that the electric power irregularity is occurring (step A113; Y), the starting port switch monitoring process is terminated. That is, the second starting memory is prevented from being generated any more.

[Hard random number acquisition process]
FIG. 17 shows hardware random number acquisition processing (step A1
02, A110).
In this hardware random number acquisition process, first, out of the first starting opening (first starting winning opening 36) and the second starting opening (normal fluctuation winning opening 37), the non-winning information of the starting opening to be monitored is set ( Step A121), it is determined whether or not there is an input to the monitored starter switch among the starter 1 switch 36a and the starter 2 switch 37a (step A122).
If there is no input to the starting switch to be monitored (step A122; N), the hard random number acquisition process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is an input to the starting switch to be monitored (step A122; Y), the random number latch register status is read (step A123).
, determines whether there is latch data in the target random number latch register (step A124).

If there is no latch data in the target random number latch register (step A124; N), that is, if no random number has been extracted, the hard random number acquisition process is terminated.
If there is latch data in the target random number latch register (step A124; Y)
loads the extracted jackpot random number into the monitored hard random number latch register and prepares (step A125). Then, among the first starting opening (first starting winning opening 36) and the second starting opening (ordinary variable winning device 37), set the winning information of the starting opening to be monitored (step A
126), ending the hard random number acquisition process.

[Common process for special figure start switch]
Next, the details of the special figure starting opening switch common processing (steps A108 and A115) in the starting opening switch monitoring processing described above will be described. Special figure starting mouth switch common processing, when there is an input of the starting mouth 1 switch 36a and the starting mouth 2 switch 37a, is a process that is performed in common for each input.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure starting port switch common processing, first, the starting port 1 switch 36
a and starter 2 switch 37a, load the starter signal output count, which is the number of times information about the number of winnings to the starter switch to be monitored is output to the management device outside the game machine 10 (step A131), the loaded value is updated by +1 (step A132), and it is determined whether the number of outputs overflows (step A133). If the output count does not overflow (step A133; N), the updated value is saved in the RWM starting signal output count area (step A134), and the process proceeds to step A135. On the other hand, if the number of outputs overflows (step A133; Y), the process proceeds to step A135. In this embodiment, a value from "0" to "255" can be stored in the starting signal output frequency area. Then, when the loaded value is "255", the updated value becomes "0" by +1 update, and it is determined that the number of outputs overflows.

Next, it is determined whether or not the update target special figure holding (start memory) number corresponding to the monitoring target starting port switch 36a and the starting port 2 switch 37a is less than the upper limit value (step A135). If the special figure pending number to be updated is not less than the upper limit (step A135; N
) ends the special figure start opening switch common processing.

Also, if the number of special figures pending to be updated is less than the upper limit (step A135; Y), the number of special figures pending to be updated (the number of special figures 1 pending or the number of special figures 2 pending) is updated by +1 ( Step A13
6), save the target start-up winning flag (step A137). Subsequently, the address of the random number storage area corresponding to the starting switch to be monitored and the special figure reservation number is calculated (step A138), and the jackpot random number prepared in step A125 of the hardware random number acquisition process is stored as the RWM jackpot random number. Save in the area (step A139).

Next, extract the special symbol random number of the starting port switch to be monitored and prepare it (step A1
40), save in the RWM special symbol random number storage area (step A141).
Then, the variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 are saved in the corresponding RWM variation pattern random number storage area (step A145), and the special figure reservation information determination process (step A146) is performed.
Then, to prepare a decorative special figure pending number command corresponding to the starting opening switch and special figure pending number to be monitored (step A147), effect command setting processing (step A148) is performed,
End the special figure starting mouth switch common processing.

Here, the game control device 100 (RAM 111C) extracts a predetermined random number based on the detection of a game ball in the starting area of the starting winning port 36 or the normal variable winning device 37, and starts the variable display game execution right. It constitutes a starting storage means for storing a predetermined number as an upper limit as a memory. In addition, the starting memory means (game control device 100) stores various random values extracted based on the winning of the game ball into the first starting winning port (starting winning port 36) as the first starting memory up to a predetermined number. Various random values stored and extracted based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening (normal variable winning device 37),
A predetermined number is stored as the second start memory up to the upper limit.

[Special Figure Reservation Information Judgment Process]
Next, special figure reservation information determination processing (step A14
6) will be described in detail. The special figure reservation information determination process is a look-ahead process that determines the result related information corresponding to the start memory before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the corresponding start memory.

As shown in FIG. 19, first, a big-hit determination process (step A154) is performed to determine whether or not the game is a big-hit according to whether or not the big-hit random number matches the big-hit determination value. Then, when the determination result is a big hit (step A155; Y), a special figure symbol random number check table for big hit corresponding to the target starter switch is set (step A156), and a step of special figure starter switch common processing. Stop symbol information corresponding to the special symbol random number prepared in A140 is acquired (step A157), and the process proceeds to step A168.

On the other hand, if the determination result is not a big hit (step A155; N), a small hit determination process (step A159) that determines whether or not it is a small hit depending on whether the big hit random value matches the small hit determination value. conduct. Then, when the determination result is a small hit (step A160; Y), a special symbol random number check table for a small hit is set (step A161), and prepared at step A140 of the special figure start opening switch common processing. The stop symbol information corresponding to the special symbol random number is acquired (step A162), and the process proceeds to step A168.

On the other hand, if the determination result is not a small hit (step A160; N), the support hit determination process (
Step A163) is performed. Then, if the judgment result is not a support hit (step A164
;N) sets lost stop symbol information (step A167), and proceeds to the process of step A168.
In addition, when the determination result is a support hit (step A164; Y), a special figure symbol random number check table for support hit is set (step A165), and prepared at step A140 of the special figure start opening switch common processing The stop symbol information corresponding to the special symbol random number is acquired (step A166), and the process proceeds to step A168.

Then, a look-ahead stop symbol command corresponding to the target starting port switch and stop symbol information is prepared (step A168), and effect command setting processing is performed (step A169). Next, a special figure information setting process (step A170) for setting special figure information, which is a parameter for setting a variation pattern, is performed, and a variation pattern setting process for setting the variation mode of the special figure variation display game is performed (step A171).
After that, prepare a look-ahead variation pattern command corresponding to the first half variation number indicating the first half variation pattern and the second half variation number indicating the second half variation pattern in the variation mode of the special figure variation display game (step A172), and perform the production command setting process. (Step A173), end the special figure reservation information determination process. In addition, the special figure information setting process in step A170 and the variation pattern setting process in step A171 are the same as the processes executed at the start of the special figure variation display game in the special figure normal process.

By the above processing, the look-ahead pattern command including the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory of the look-ahead object and the look-ahead variation pattern command including the information of the variation pattern in the special figure variation display game based on the start memory are prepared. and transmitted to the effect control device 300 . As a result, the judgment result (read-ahead result) of the result-related information (whether it is a big hit or the type of variation pattern) corresponding to the start memory is produced before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the corresponding start memory. It is possible to inform the device 300, especially by changing the decorative special figure start memory display displayed on the display device 41, etc., to the player before the start timing of the special figure fluctuation display game. It is possible to notify.

That is, the game control device 100 determines the random number stored as the starting memory in the starting winning memory means (game control device 100) before executing the variable display game based on the starting memory (
For example, it determines whether or not there will be a special result). The timing for determining the random value stored in correspondence with the starting memory in advance is not limited to the time when the starting memory is generated, but any time before the variable display game based on the starting memory is played. good.

[Special normal processing]
Next, details of the special figure normal processing (step A9) in the special figure game processing described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in the special figure normal process, first, it is determined whether the special figure 2 reservation number (second start memory number) is "0" (step A301). When it is determined that the special figure 2 reservation number is "0" (step A301; Y), it is determined whether the special figure 1 reservation number (first start memory number) is "0" (step A305). And the special figure 1 reservation number is "0" (step A3
05; Y), it is determined whether the customer waiting demonstration has been started (step A309).
If the customer waiting demonstration has not started yet (step A309; N), the customer waiting demonstration flag is set in the customer waiting demonstration flag area (step A310).

Subsequently, a customer waiting demo command is prepared (step A311), and effect command setting processing (step A312) is performed. Next, "0" relating to special figure normal processing is set as the processing number (step A313), and the processing number is saved in the special figure game processing number area (step A314). Then, the fluctuating symbol discrimination flag area is cleared (step A315), and the fraud monitoring period flag is saved in the big winning opening fraud monitoring period flag area (step A316
), to end the special figure normal processing. That is, when the special figure fluctuation display game can be started but the starting condition is not satisfied, the production control device 300 outputs the customer waiting demonstration command forming the waiting information.
It will be sent to.
On the other hand, in step A309, if the customer waiting demonstration has already started (step A309;
Y) skips steps A310 to A312 and proceeds to step A313.

Also, in step A301, if the number of special figures 2 pending is not "0" (step A301;
N) prepares a decoration special figure reservation number command corresponding to the special figure 2 reservation number (step A302
). Next, effect command setting processing (step A303) is performed, and special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (
Step A304) is performed and the special figure normal processing is terminated.
Also, in step A305, if the special figure 1 pending number is not "0" (step A305;
N) prepares a decoration special figure reservation number command corresponding to the special figure 1 reservation number (step A306
). Next, effect command setting processing (step A307) is performed, and special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (
Step A308) is performed and the special figure normal processing is terminated.

In this way, by performing the check of the special figure 2 reservation number before the special figure 1 reservation number check, if the special figure 2 reservation number is not "0", special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (step A304) will be executed. That is, the second special figure variation display game is preferentially executed over the first special figure variation display game. That is, when the second start memory means (game control device 100) has the second start memory, the game control device 100 changes the variable display game based on the second start memory to the variable display game based on the first start memory. It constitutes a priority control means for executing with priority over the game.

[Special figure 1 fluctuation start process]
Next, the details of the special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (step A308) in the special figure normal processing described above will be described. The special figure 1 fluctuation start process is a process performed at the start of the first special figure fluctuation display game. As shown in FIG. 21(a), first, the special figure 1 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, special figure 1) is saved in the fluctuation pattern discrimination area (step A321),
Loss information and big win information are set in a big win flag 1 for discriminating whether or not the first special figure variation display game is a big win, and it is discriminated whether or not the first special figure variation display game is a small win. Big hit flag 1 setting processing (step A322) for setting deviation information and small hit information to the small hit flag for doing is performed.

Next, special figure 1 stop design setting process (step A
323) is performed, a special figure information setting process (step A324) for setting special figure information which is a parameter for setting the variation pattern is performed, and various kinds of setting of the variation pattern of the first special figure variation display game are performed. Prepare a special figure 1 variation pattern setting information table, which is a table in which information for referring to information is set (step A325). Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step A326) for setting a variation pattern which is a variation mode in the first special figure variation display game is performed, and a variation start information setting process for setting information on the start of variation of the first special figure variation display game. (Step A327) is performed.

Then, set "1" for special figure fluctuation processing as the processing number (step A328)
, save the processing number in the special game processing number area (step A329).
Then, the customer waiting demonstration flag area is cleared (step A330), and a signal relating to the start of fluctuation of special symbol 1 (for example, a signal during special symbol 1 fluctuation is ON) is saved in the test signal output data area (step A331). After that, save the fluctuating flag in the special figure 1 fluctuation control flag area (step A332), flashing control timer in the special figure 1 flashing control timer area (special figure 1 indicator 5
The initial value (here, 100 ms) of the blinking cycle timer of 1 is set (step A33
3). Then, the initial value ("0" in this case) is saved in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern number area (step A334), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start process is ended.

[Special figure 2 fluctuation start process]
Next, the details of the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (step A304) in the above-mentioned special figure usual processing will be described. The special figure 2 fluctuation start process is a process performed at the start of the second special figure fluctuation display game, and the same process as the special figure 1 fluctuation start process shown in FIG. This is done with memory as the target.

As shown in FIG. 21(b), first, the special figure 2 fluctuation flag indicating the type of the special figure fluctuation display game to be executed (here, special figure 2) is saved in the fluctuation pattern discrimination area (step A341), and the second
To determine whether or not the second special figure fluctuation display game is a small hit or not while setting deviation information and big win information in the big win flag 2 for deciding whether or not the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit. Big hit flag 2 setting process (
Step A342) is performed.

Next, special figure 2 stop design setting process (step A
343) is performed, a special figure information setting process (step A344) for setting special figure information which is a parameter for setting the variation pattern is performed, and various settings related to the setting of the variation pattern of the second special figure variation display game Prepare a special figure 2 variation pattern setting information table, which is a table in which information for referring to information is set (step A345). Thereafter, a variation pattern setting process (step A346) for setting a variation pattern which is a variation mode in the second special figure variation display game is performed, and a variation start information setting process for setting information on the start of variation of the second special figure variation display game. (Step A347) is performed.

Then, set "1" for special figure fluctuation processing as the processing number (step A348)
, save the processing number in the special game processing number area (step A349).
Then, the customer waiting demo flag area is cleared (step A350), and a signal relating to the start of fluctuation of the special symbol 2 (for example, the signal during special symbol 2 fluctuation is ON) is saved in the test signal output data area (step A351). After that, save the fluctuating flag in the special figure 2 fluctuation control flag area (step A352), flashing control timer in the special figure 2 flashing control timer area (special figure 2 indicator 5
2 flashing period timer) is set to an initial value (here, 100 ms) (step A35
3). Then, the initial value (here "0") is saved in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern number area (step A354), and the special figure 2 fluctuation start processing is ended.

That is, the game control device 100 serves as special figure variation display game execution control means for executing the special figure variation display game based on the start memory stored in the start memory means. Further, the special figure variation display game execution control means executes the first special figure variation display game as the special figure variation display game based on the first start memory, and the second special figure variation display game as the special figure variation display game based on the second start memory. A figure fluctuation display game is executed.

[Big hit flag 1 setting process]
In FIG. 22(a), the jackpot flag 1 setting process (
Step A322) is shown.
In this jackpot flag 1 setting process, first, jackpot flag 1 area, small hit flag 1 area,
The deviation information is saved in the support hit flag 1 area (step A361). Next, load the jackpot random number from the RWM special figure 1 jackpot random number storage area (for the reservation number 1) and prepare it (step A362), and clear the special figure 1 jackpot random number storage area (for the reservation number 1) to 0 ( Step A36
3). It should be noted that the reservation number 1 use is an area that stores information (random numbers, etc.) about the special figure start memory of which digestion order is the first (here, the first among the special figures 1).

After that, a big-hit determination process (step A364) is performed to determine whether or not the big-hit is a big-hit according to whether or not the obtained big-hit random number matches the big-hit determination value. Then, when the determination result of the big hit determination process (step A364) is a big hit (step A365; Y), the big hit information is overwritten and saved in the big hit flag 1 area where the loss information was saved in step A361 (step A366 ), the jackpot flag 1 setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination process (step A364) is not a big hit (step A365; N),
A small hit determination process (step A367) for determining whether or not the small hit is made according to whether or not the obtained big hit random value matches the small hit determination value is performed.

Then, when the judgment result of the small hit determination process (step A367) is a small hit (step A368; Y), the small hit information is overwritten in the small hit flag 1 area where the loss information is saved in step A361 and saved. Then (step A369), the big hit flag 1 setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination process (step A367) is not a small hit (step A368; N), it is determined whether it is in a high probability state (step A370).

If it is in a high probability state (step A370; Y), the jackpot flag 1 setting process is terminated. In this case, the winning information is saved in the big hit flag 1 area, the small hit flag 1 area and the support hit flag 1 area. On the other hand, if it is not a high probability state (step A3
70;N) performs a support hit determination process (step A371) for determining whether or not the support hit is determined according to whether or not the acquired big hit random value matches the support hit determination value.

Then, if the determination result of the support hit determination process (step A371) is a support hit (step A372; Y), the support hit flag 1 area where the loss information was saved in step A361 is overwritten with the support hit information and saved. Then (step A373), the big hit flag 1 setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when the determination result of the support hit determination process (step A371) is not a support hit (step A372; N), the big hit flag 1 setting process is terminated. In this case, the loss information is saved in the big hit flag 1 area, the small hit flag 1 area and the support hit flag 1 area.

[Big hit flag 2 setting process]
In FIG. 22(b), the jackpot flag 2 setting process (
Step A342) is shown.
In this big hit flag 2 setting process, first, the big hit flag 2 area, the small hit flag 2 area,
The deviation information is saved in the support hit flag 2 area (step A381). Next, load the jackpot random number from the RWM special figure 2 jackpot random number storage area (for the number of reservations 1) and prepare it (step A382), and clear the special figure 2 jackpot random number storage area (for the number 1 reservation) to 0 ( Step A38
3). It should be noted that the reservation number 1 use is an area that stores information (random numbers, etc.) about the special figure start memory of which digestion order is the first (here, the first among the special figures 2).

After that, a big-hit determination process (step A384) is performed to determine whether or not the big-hit is a big-hit according to whether or not the obtained big-hit random number matches the big-hit determination value. Then, when the determination result of the big hit determination process (step A384) is a big hit (step A385; Y), the big hit information is overwritten and saved in the big hit flag 2 area where the losing information was saved in step A381 (step A386 ), the jackpot flag 2 setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination process (step A384) is not a big hit (step A385; N),
A small hit determination process (step A387) for determining whether or not the small hit is made according to whether or not the obtained big hit random number value matches the small hit determination value is performed.

Then, when the determination result of the small hit determination process (step A387) is a small hit (step A388; Y), the small hit information is overwritten and saved in the small hit flag 2 area where the loss information is saved in step A381. Then (step A389), the big hit flag 2 setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination process (step A387) is not a small hit (step A388; N), it is determined whether it is in a high probability state (step A390).

If it is in a high probability state (step A390; Y), the jackpot flag 1 setting process is terminated. In this case, the winning information is saved in the big hit flag 1 area, the small hit flag 1 area and the support hit flag 1 area. On the other hand, if it is not in a high probability state (step A3
90; N) performs a support hit determination process (step A391) for determining whether or not the support hit is determined according to whether the acquired big hit random value matches the support hit determination value.

Then, if the determination result of the support hit determination process (step A391) is a support hit (step A392; Y), the support hit information is overwritten in the support hit flag 2 area where the loss information was saved in step A381 and saved. Then (step A393), the big hit flag 2 setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when the determination result of the support hit determination process (step A391) is not a support hit (step A392; N), the big hit flag 2 setting process is terminated. In this case, the winning information is saved in the big hit flag 2 area, the small hit flag 2 area and the support hit flag 2 area.

[Jackpot determination process]
FIG. 23(a) shows the jackpot determination processing (steps A364 and A384) in the jackpot flag 1 setting processing and the jackpot flag 2 setting processing described above. In this big hit determination process, first, an upper limit determination value table corresponding to the probability setting value is set (step A401). The upper limit decision value table is provided for each set probability value, and defines an upper limit decision value in a high probability state and an upper limit decision value in a low probability state (normal probability state). Here, a corresponding table is set according to the currently set probability setting value.
A big hit means that the big hit random number matches the big hit determination value. The jackpot judgment value is a series of multiple values, and when the jackpot random number is equal to or higher than the lower limit judgment value, which is the lower limit value of the jackpot judgment value, and below the upper limit judgment value, which is the upper limit value of the jackpot judgment value , is determined to be a jackpot. By setting the upper limit judgment value table corresponding to the probability setting value, the big hit judgment is performed with the probability value corresponding to the probability setting value.

Next, the lower limit judgment value of the big hit judgment value is set (step A402), and it is judged whether the value of the target big hit random number is less than the lower limit judgment value (step A403). Here, the value of the lower limit judgment value is the same value regardless of the probability setting value or probability state (high probability state or normal probability state),
The lower limit decision value may be changed according to the set probability value or probability state. In this case, as with the upper limit judgment value, the lower limit judgment value table in which the lower limit judgment value is specified for each probability setting value is selected according to the probability setting value, and the lower judgment value to be used is selected according to the probability state. to set. Of course, the upper limit judgment value table and the lower limit judgment value table may be collectively used as a judgment value table.

If the value of the target jackpot random number is less than the lower limit judgment value (step A403; Y), that is, if it is not a jackpot, a loss is set as the judgment result (step A408), and the jackpot judgment processing ends. It should be noted that the loss as a determination result indicates that the lottery for the big win was lost. Also, if the value of the jackpot random number is not less than the lower limit judgment value (step A403
;N) determines whether it is in a high probability state (step A404). Then, if the high probability state (step A404; Y), set the upper limit judgment value in the high probability (step A40
5), determine whether the value of the target jackpot random number is greater than the upper limit judgment value (step A407)
. Also, if it is not a high probability state (step A404; N), set the upper limit judgment value in the low probability (step A406), and determine whether the value of the target jackpot random number is greater than the upper limit judgment value (step A407) . The upper limit judgment value set here is obtained by referring to the upper limit judgment value table set in step A401 described above.

If the value of the jackpot random number is greater than the upper limit judgment value (step A407; Y), that is, if it is not a jackpot, the judgment result is set to be lost (step A408), and the jackpot judgment processing is terminated. Also, if the value of the jackpot random number is not greater than the upper limit judgment value (step A407
; N), that is, if it is a big hit, set a big hit as the judgment result (step A40
9), end the big hit determination process.

[Small hit determination process]
FIG. 23(b) shows the small hit determination process (steps A367 and A387) in the above-described big hit flag 1 setting process and big hit flag 2 setting process. In this small hit determination process, first, a small hit upper limit determination value corresponding to the probability set value is set (step A411). The small hit upper limit judgment value is provided for each probability setting value. Also, the small hit probability is constant regardless of whether it is in a high probability state. Further, the range of the big hit determination value and the range of the small hit determination value for the same probability set value are arranged so as not to overlap each other. The range of the big-hit determination value and the range of the small-hit determination value for different probability setting values may overlap, but may not overlap.

It should be noted that the small hit means that the big hit random number matches the small hit determination value. The small hit judgment value is a plurality of continuous values, and the jackpot random number is equal to or greater than the small hit lower limit judgment value, which is the lower limit value of the small hit judgment value, and the small hit upper limit, which is the upper limit value of the small hit judgment value. If it is equal to or less than the judgment value, it is judged to be a small hit. By setting the small hit upper limit judgment value corresponding to the probability set value, the small hit judgment is performed with the probability value corresponding to the probability set value.

Next, it is determined whether the value of the target jackpot random number is less than the small hit lower limit judgment value (step A412
). When the value of the target jackpot random number is less than the small hit lower limit judgment value (step A412; Y)
, that is, if it is not a small hit, set the deviation as the determination result (step A414),
Finish the small hit determination process. It should be noted that the loss as a determination result indicates that the lottery for the small prize was lost. Also, when the value of the jackpot random number is not less than the small hit lower limit judgment value (step A412; N), it is determined whether the target jackpot random number value is greater than the small hit upper limit judgment value (step A413).

If the value of the big hit random number is greater than the small hit upper limit judgment value (step A413; Y), that is, if it is not a small hit, set a loss as the judgment result (step A414), and finish the small hit judgment process. Also, if the value of the big hit random number is not greater than the small hit upper limit judgment value (step A413; N), that is, if it is a small hit, set a small hit as the judgment result (step A415), and end the small hit judgment process. do.

[Support hit determination process]
FIG. 24 shows support hit determination processing (steps A371 and A391) in the above-described jackpot flag 1 setting processing and jackpot flag 2 setting processing. In this support hit determination process, first,
A support hit upper limit judgment value table corresponding to the set probability value is set (step A421). The per support upper limit judgment value table is provided for each probability setting value.

The probability of winning the lottery for the supporter may be different for each probability set value, or may be the same. If the probability setting value is different, for example, the lower the probability setting value, the easier it is to win the lottery for the supporter (that is, setting 1 is the most likely to win, and setting 6 is the least likely to win). is good and vice versa. Moreover, the probability of winning the lottery for the supporter may be different for each probability state of the big win, or may be the same. When the probability of a big hit is changed for each state, for example, it may be possible to make it easier to win in the case of a low probability state (normal probability state) than in the case of a high probability state, or vice versa. . Also, it may be possible to win only when the probability is low. Moreover, the probability of winning the lottery per support may be different between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. - 特許庁
Further, the range of the big hit determination value, the range of the small hit determination value and the range of the support hit determination value for the same probability set value are arranged so as not to overlap each other. The ranges of the big hit determination value and the range of the small hit determination value and the support hit determination value for different probability setting values may overlap, but may not overlap each other.

It should be noted that the support hit means that the jackpot random number matches the support hit determination value. The support hit judgment value is a plurality of continuous values, and the jackpot random number is equal to or greater than the support hit lower limit judgment value, which is the lower limit value of the support hit judgment value, and the support hit upper limit, which is the upper limit value of the support hit judgment value. If it is equal to or less than the judgment value, it is judged to be a support hit. By setting the support hit upper limit determination value table corresponding to the probability set value, the support hit determination is performed with the probability value corresponding to the probability set value.

Next, the lower limit judgment value of the support hit judgment value is set (step A422), and it is determined whether the value of the target jackpot random number is less than the support hit lower limit judgment value (step A423). Here, the value of the lower limit judgment value for the support hit is the same value regardless of the probability set value, but the lower limit judgment value for the support hit may be changed according to the probability set value. In this case, similarly to the upper limit judgment value for support hits, a lower limit judgment value for support hits is selected according to the probability set value, in which the lower limit judgment value for support hits is defined for each probability set value. Of course, the support hit upper limit determination value table and the support hit lower limit determination value table may be combined into a support hit determination value table.

When the value of the target jackpot random number is less than the support per lower limit judgment value (step A423; Y)
, that is, if it is not a support hit, a loss is set as the judgment result (step A428)
, end the support hit determination process. It should be noted that the loss as a determination result indicates that the lottery for the support hit was lost. Also, if the target jackpot random number value is not less than the support hit lower limit judgment value (step A423; N), it is determined whether the target jackpot random number value is greater than the support hit upper limit judgment value (step A427). The support hit upper limit judgment value set here is obtained by referring to the support hit upper limit judgment value table set in step A421 described above.

When the value of the target jackpot random number is greater than the support per upper limit judgment value (step A427; Y)
, that is, if it is not a support hit, a loss is set as the judgment result (step A428)
, ends the jackpot determination process. Also, if the value of the target jackpot random number is not greater than the support upper limit judgment value (step A427; N), that is, if it is a support hit, the support hit is set as the determination result (step A429), and the support hit determination process exit.

[Special figure information setting process]
FIG. 27 shows the special figure information setting process (steps A166, A324, A344) in the special figure reservation information determination process, the special figure 1 fluctuation start process, and the special figure 2 fluctuation start process.
First, the variable group selection pointer table is set (step A471), and the variable group selection pointer corresponding to the game state, the number of reservations, the stop symbol pattern number, the remaining support count, and the currently set variation selection table group is acquired. (step A472).
Then, save the acquired variable group selection pointer in the variable group selection pointer area (step A475), and end the special figure information setting process.

In the variation pattern selection process (A326, A346) performed after this special figure information setting process, a variation pattern is selected from the variation pattern table selected based on the variation group selection pointer acquired here.
That is, the variation pattern is selected based on the game state, the number of suspensions, the stop symbol pattern number, the number of remaining supports, and the currently set variation selection table group. By selecting a variation pattern in consideration of such factors, it is possible to execute various effects.

For example, the variation selection table group selected according to the variation pattern scenario shown in FIG. is included, and a variation pattern table corresponding to the result is selected from the currently set variation selection table group.
As a result, different variation patterns can be selected for each of big wins, small wins, support wins and losses. For example, the variation pattern table for per support includes only variation patterns including the reach state. Variation patterns for executing the same ready-to-win effect may also be included in the variation pattern table selected in the case of a big win, a small win and a loss, but the result is determined in each case of a big win, a small win, a support hit and a loss. The fluctuation time values are made different in order to make the derivation actions different, and the fluctuation patterns of the respective fluctuation pattern tables are different fluctuation patterns.

Further, even in the same game state, it is possible to select different variation patterns depending on the set variation selection table group.
For example, in the chance mode B and the chance mode D shown in FIG. 9(a), both are the third specific game state ST13 where the number of times of support is 100, but the variation selection table group from the 20th time to the 100th time is different. Therefore, it is possible to perform different presentations by making the tendency of each selected variation pattern different.

Also, even if the number of times of support is the same 100 times, it is possible to change the performance mode by making the variation pattern different depending on the set variation selection table group. For example, depending on the variation selection table group, whether or not to select a variation pattern including the time value for executing the effect to notify the number of support is made different, and whether or not to notify the number of support is selected according to the set variation selection table group. can be made

In addition, in the case of the third specific game state ST13, it is also possible to select a variation pattern in consideration of the remaining number of times of support. For example, in the final game in the third specific game state ST13, a variation pattern including a time value is selected for displaying a result image informing the result of the game in the third specific game state ST13. However, the variation pattern is selected considering the result of the final game, and if the result is wrong, the variation pattern including the time value for displaying the result image is selected, but the result is Since no result image is displayed in the case of a big win, a small win or a support win, a variation pattern that does not include a time value for displaying a result image is selected.
Also, it is possible to select a specific variation pattern at any time, such as when the third specific game state ST13 starts, or when a predetermined number of times is reached, or a predetermined number of times before the end.

In addition, by enabling the selection of the variation pattern in consideration of the game state, for example, it is possible to select different variation patterns depending on whether the support hit occurs in the normal game state ST14 or in the third specific game state ST13. Become.
As a result, the support hit is derived in the normal game state ST14 and the third specific game state S
When T13 starts, a variation pattern including a time value for executing a performance peculiar to the start is selected, and when a support hit is derived in the third specific game state ST13 and the number of times of support is reset. , it is possible to select a variation pattern including a time value for executing an effect peculiar to resetting.

In this way, by allowing the game control device 100 to select a variation pattern in consideration of various factors, it is possible to vary the variation time according to the situation and execute various effects. Although the performance control device 300 can also select the performance, it is necessary to follow the variable time selected by the game control device 100 for the variable time, and it is difficult to secure the time specific to the performance to be executed as described above. is.

From the above, a game is controlled in a gaming machine that executes a game based on the establishment of a starting condition and can generate a special game state in which a game value is awarded to a player when the result of the game is a special result. game control means (game control device 100) and a normal fluctuation winning device 37 in which the starting condition is established by winning a game ball, and the game control means has a normal game state and a normal fluctuation rather than the normal game state. It is possible to generate a special game state and a special game state in which winning to the prize winning device 37 is easy, and when the result of the game becomes a predetermined result among the special results, the special game state is generated. A specific game state can be generated, and if the result of the game results in a specific result different from the special result, the specific game state can be generated without generating the special game state, and the game result can be changed to the special game state. A first lottery random number (jackpot random number) is used to determine which of the result, the specific result, and the losing result, and before the game is executed, the result of the game is divided into the special result and the specific result. , or the deviation result.
Therefore, the lottery can be performed using one first lottery random number, the control of the lottery can be simplified, and the burden of control can be reduced.

The special results include a first special result (big win) with the operation of the condition device and a second special result (minor win) without the operation of the condition device. One of the first special result, the second special result, the specified result, and the lost result is determined by one first lottery random number.
Therefore, the lottery can be performed using one first lottery random number, the control of the lottery can be simplified, and the burden of control can be reduced.

Further, the first special result, the second special result, and the specific result each include a plurality of types of results, and the game control means determines that the lottery result by the first lottery random number is the first special result, the second special result, or the specific result. When it is a result, the type of the first special result, the second special result or the specific result will be determined using one second lottery random number (special symbol random number).
Therefore, by using a common second lottery random number even if the results are different, the lottery control can be simplified and the control load can be reduced.

In addition, the game control means includes a variation pattern table for selecting a variation pattern that is an execution mode of the game, and a variation pattern scenario in which information about transition of the variation pattern table in the specific game state is defined. A variation pattern table defined in a variation pattern scenario is set on the basis of satisfying a predetermined condition in a state, and when a specific result is derived, a variation pattern to be used in a specific game state based on the specific result A scenario is selected based on the type of the specific result selected by the second lottery random number.
Therefore, it becomes possible to select the transition of the variation pattern in the specific game state with the second lottery random number, simplify the lottery control, and reduce the control load.
In addition, it becomes possible to select from among a plurality of patterns for the transition of the variation pattern in the specific game state, and it is possible to improve the amusement of the game.

Also, in a gaming machine capable of executing a game based on establishment of a starting condition and generating a special game state in which a game value is awarded to a player when the result of the game is a special result, game control for controlling the game. Means and a normal variable prize winning device 3 in which the starting condition is established by winning a game ball
7, the game control means can generate a normal game state and a specific game state in which it is easier to win a prize in the normal variable prize winning device 37 than in the normal game state, and a plurality of types of game results can be obtained. If any of the specific results consisting of, it is possible to generate a specific game state,
A variation pattern table for selecting a variation pattern that is a game execution mode, and a variation pattern scenario in which information about transition of the variation pattern table in a specific game state is defined, and when a specific result is derived, A variation pattern scenario to be used in the specific game state based on the specific result is selected based on the type of the specific result.
Therefore, it becomes possible to select from among a plurality of patterns for the transition of the variation pattern in the specific game state, and it is possible to improve the amusement of the game.

[Processing during special figure fluctuation]
FIG. 28 shows the special figure changing process (step A10) in the special figure game process of the present embodiment.
In this special figure fluctuation processing, first, a design stop command corresponding to the fluctuation design determination flag is prepared (step A601), and effect command setting processing (step A602) is performed. Next, the display time corresponding to the stop symbol pattern is set (step A603), and the set display time is saved in the special figure game processing timer area (step A604). In the case of this embodiment, the display time is set to 600 milliseconds when the stop symbol pattern is the winning symbol pattern, and the display time is set to 600 milliseconds when the stop symbol pattern is the jackpot symbol pattern.
Seconds are set, and when the stop symbol pattern is a small winning symbol pattern, the display time is 60.
0 msec is set, and when the stop symbol pattern is the support winning symbol pattern, the display time is set to 600 msec. That is, the game control device 100 serves as stop display time setting means for setting a stop display time for displaying the stop result mode of the variable display game.

Then, set "2" for special figure display processing as the processing number (step A605)
, save the process number in the special game process number area (step A606). moreover,
Signals related to the end of fluctuation of special figure 1 (for example, signal OFF during special symbol 1 fluctuation) are saved in the test signal output data area (step A607), Signals related to the end of fluctuation of special figure 2 (for example, during special symbol 2 fluctuation signal OFF) in the test signal output data area (Step A
608), save the control timer initial value (for example, 256 msec) in the pattern determination number signal control timer area related to the number of executions of the special figure variation display game for output to the external information terminal (step A)
609). After that, as information for controlling the special figure 1 fluctuation display game in the special figure 1 indicator 51, the stop flag related to the fluctuation stop in the special figure 1 indicator 51 is saved in the special figure 1 variation control flag area (step A610 ), as information for controlling the special figure 2 fluctuation display game in the special figure 2 indicator 52, save the stop flag related to the fluctuation stop in the special figure 2 indicator 52 in the special figure 2 fluctuation control flag area (step A611), end the processing during special figure fluctuation.

[Processing during special figure display]
FIG. 29 and FIG. 30 show the special figure displaying process (step A11) in the special figure game process of the present embodiment.
In this special figure display process, first, the support hit flag 1 set in the big hit flag 1 setting process and the support hit flag 2 set in the big hit flag 2 setting process are loaded (step A701). , the support hit flag 1 area and the support hit flag 2 area of the RWM are cleared (step A702).
Next, the small hit flag 1 set in the big hit flag 1 setting process and the small hit flag 2 set in the big hit flag 2 setting process are loaded (step A703), and the small hit flag 1 area of RWM. And clear the small hit flag 2 area (step A704).

Next, the jackpot flag 1 set in the jackpot flag 1 setting process and the jackpot flag 2 set in the jackpot flag 2 setting process are loaded (step A705), and the jackpot flag 1 area and the jackpot flag of the RWM are loaded. 2 areas are cleared (step A706). Then, it is determined whether the loaded jackpot flag 2 is a jackpot (step A707), and if it is a jackpot (step A707; Y), a jackpot in the second special figure variation display game (special figure 2 jackpot)
(for example, condition device operating signal ON, character continuous operating device operating signal ON, special symbol 2 winning signal ON) is saved in the test signal output data area of RWM (step A710 ), and set the round number upper limit table (step A711).

On the other hand, if the jackpot flag 2 is not a jackpot (step A707; N), it is determined whether or not the loaded jackpot flag 1 is a jackpot (step A708). Test signals (for example, condition device operating signal ON, character continuous operation device operating signal ON, special symbol 1 winning signal ON) related to the start of the jackpot (special 1 jackpot) of the figure fluctuation display game are RWM. Save it in the test signal output data area (Step A
709), and sets the round number upper limit table (step A711).

Next, the round number upper limit value corresponding to the round number upper limit information (in the case of this embodiment, "1
0", "7" or "2") and saves it in the RWM round number upper limit area (step A712). Subsequently, a round LED pointer corresponding to the round number upper limit information is acquired and saved in the round LED pointer area of the RWM (step A713).

Next, load the decoration special figure command from the decoration special figure command area of RWM, prepare (step A714), and perform the production command setting process (step A715). After that, prepare a probability information command related to the information to set the probability of winning results in the normal figure variation display game and the special figure variation display game to the normal probability state (low probability state) (step A716), and effect command setting processing (Step A717) is performed. Subsequently, a fanfare command corresponding to the symbol information (stop symbol number or stop symbol pattern) set in the special figure 1 or special figure 2 stop symbol setting process is prepared (step A718), and the effect command setting process (step A719). This fanfare command constitutes special game state start information transmitted to the effect control device 300 at the start of the special game state.

Next, the big winning hole opening information and the signal corresponding to the state of the probability of winning results in the normal figure variation display game and the special figure variation display game are saved in the external information output data area of the RWM (step A720). In the case of this embodiment, at step A720, the big win 2 signal and the big win 3 signal are saved as the signals corresponding to the big winning opening opening information and the state of the probability. It should be noted that each ON/OFF is determined by the big winning opening opening information and the state of the probability. For example, the jackpot 2 signal is 0 when the jackpot with a ball is a jackpot (the jackpot opening information is other than the jackpot opening information 1).
N, a big hit with no balls (so-called sudden hit, etc.).
), it is ON at the time of the jackpot in the time-saving state, and is OFF otherwise.
In addition, the big win 3 signal is ON when the big win with the paid out balls is made, and is turned OFF when the big win is made without the paid out balls.

After that, the jackpot fanfare time corresponding to the state of the probability of winning results in the normal figure variation display game and the special figure variation display game is set (step A721).
), the set jackpot fanfare time is saved in the special game processing timer area (step A722). Then, the special game mode flag is loaded, and the loaded flag is saved in the special game mode flag save area (step A723). This stores the information of the probability state of the special figure and the time saving state when the special result occurs. Then, based on the information stored later, the effect mode after the end of the special game state is determined.

Then, clear the area for the number of fraudulent winning prizes corresponding to the opening information for the big winning prize (
Step A724), the flag outside the fraud monitoring period is saved in the area of the flag for the fraud monitoring period of the big winning opening corresponding to the opening information for the big winning opening (step A725). Thereafter, a fanfare/interval processing transition setting process 1 (step A726) for shifting to fanfare/interval processing is performed, and the special figure display processing is terminated. That is, the game control device 100 determines the first special variable winning device 38 or the second special variable winning device 38 based on whether the result is a special result in either the first special figure variation display game or the second special figure variation display game. It constitutes special game state generating means for generating a special game state for converting the device 39 to the open state.

On the other hand, if the big hit flag 1 is not a big hit (step A708; N), it is determined whether the loaded small hit flag 2 is a small hit (step A727), and if it is a small hit (step A727; Y), A test signal (for example, a special symbol 2 small hit signal is ON) relating to the start of the second special figure variation display game small hit (special 2 small hit) is saved in the RWM test signal output data area (step A730). , the time reduction variation count update process is performed (step A731
).
Also, if the small hit flag 2 is not a small hit (step A727; N), it is determined whether the loaded small hit flag 1 is a small hit (step A728), and if it is a small hit (step A728; Y). saves a test signal (for example, turning on a special symbol 1 small hit signal) related to the start of the first special figure variation display game small hit (special figure 1 small hit) in the RWM test signal output data area (step A729), time reduction fluctuation number update processing is performed (step A731
).

Next, production mode information check processing for setting production mode (step A732)
to determine whether the probability state of the special figure fluctuation display game is a high probability state (step A

Further, when it is determined that copying of the commands for the number of commands received has been completed (step C206; Y),
The contents of the command area are loaded (step C207), and the received command analysis process (step C208) is performed.

Next, the address of the command area is updated (step C209), and it is determined whether or not the analysis of commands corresponding to the number of commands received has been completed (step C210). Then, when it is determined that the command analysis for the number of commands received has not been completed (step C210; N),
The process returns to step C207. Further, when it is determined that the analysis of the commands corresponding to the number of commands received has been completed (step C210; Y), the received command check processing is terminated. In this way, in the received command check process, commands received during one frame (1/30 second) are collectively analyzed. In this embodiment, up to 32 commands can be saved.

[Receive command analysis processing]
FIG. 41 shows received command analysis processing in the received command check processing described above. In this received command analysis process, first, the upper byte of the command is separated as MODE and the lower byte as ACT (ACTION) (step C231), and it is determined whether or not MODE and ACT are within the normal range (steps C232 and C233). ). MODE and A
When CT is determined to be within the normal range (step C232; Y, step C233; Y)
Then, it is determined whether or not the ACT for MODE is a correct combination (step C23
4).

In addition, when it is determined in steps C232 and C233 that MODE or ACT is not within the normal range (step C232; N, step C233; N), or when it is determined in step C234 that ACT for MODE is not a correct combination (step C2
34;N), the received command analysis process is terminated.

If it is determined in step C234 that the ACT for MODE is a correct combination (
At step C234; Y), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the variable command (step C235). Variation system command is a command to command the variation pattern of special figure. Then, if it is determined that MODE is within the range of the variable command (step C235
At ;Y), the variable command processing (step C236) is performed, and the received command analysis processing ends.

If it is determined in step C235 that MODE is not within the range of the variable command (
At step C235; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the jackpot commands (step C237). The big hit system command is a command for commanding an operation (display of a fanfare screen, a round screen, etc.) during a big win, or a command for commanding an operation (display of a fanfare screen, end screen, etc.) during a small win. and MO
When it is determined that the DE is within the range of the big-hit command (step C237; Y), the big-hit command processing (step C238) is performed, and the received command analysis processing ends.

If it is determined at step C237 that the MODE is not within the range of the jackpot commands (step C237; N), it is determined whether or not the MODE is within the range of the symbol commands (step C239). The symbol system command is a command for instructing information on the symbol of the special figure (for example, what to do with the stop symbol of the special figure). Then, when it is determined that the MODE is within the range of the symbol-based command (step C239; Y), symbol-based command processing (
Step C240) is performed to terminate the received command analysis process.

Also, in step C239, if it is determined that MODE is not within the range of the symbol-based command (
At step C239; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of a single-shot command such as a pending number command or an error command (step C241). A single command is a command that stands alone, unlike a command that makes sense in combination, such as a symbol command and a variable command. The single-shot commands include customer waiting demo commands, pending number commands, pattern stop commands, probability information commands, error/illegal commands, and model designation commands. Then, if it is determined that MODE is within the range of single-shot commands (step C24
1; Y), single-shot command processing (step C242) is performed, and the received command analysis processing ends.

If it is determined in step C241 that MODE is not within the range of single-shot commands (
At step C241; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the look-ahead symbol system command (step C243). Then, when it is determined that MODE is within the range of the look-ahead symbol system command (step C243; Y), look-ahead symbol system command processing (step C2
44) to end the received command analysis process.

Also, when it is determined in step C243 that MODE is not within the range of the look-ahead symbol system command (step C243; N), it is determined whether or not MODE is within the range of the look-ahead variation system command (step C245). When it is determined that the MODE is within the range of the prefetch variation command (step C245; Y), prefetch variation command processing (step C246) is performed, and the received command analysis processing is terminated. Also, in step C245,
If it is determined that the MODE is not within the range of the prefetch variation command (step C245; N)
, the received command analysis process is terminated.

In addition, the look-ahead variation system command and the look-ahead symbol system command are commands including information necessary for executing the look-ahead effect. Pre-reading effect (also called pre-reading notice or pre-reading notice effect) is whether the special figure fluctuation display game will be a big hit when the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the unexecuted start memory (hold) is executed after that. (or what kind of variation pattern it will be), in order to notify the player in advance with a predetermined reliability, display the decoration special figure start memory display etc. displayed on the display device 41 in a manner different from usual, It is a production such as performing a production display on The look-ahead system command (a look-ahead variation system command and a look-ahead pattern system command) is a command to inform in advance of the variation pattern and the stop design corresponding to the start memory to be the target of the look-ahead effect, and is sent from the game control device 100 at the time of start winning. It is transmitted to the production control device 300 . It should be noted that normal variation-based commands and symbol-based commands that are not look-ahead are transmitted from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 300 at the start of the special figure variation display game.

Next, a variable display game (decorative special figure variable display game) on the display device 41 will be described.

FIG. 42 and FIG. 43 show a case of executing a special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit". FIG. 42 is an example of display on the display device 41, and FIG. 43 is an example of a timing chart.
When the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t61), as shown in FIGS.
The game result is stopped and displayed in the decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82, and the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 ) disappears. In FIG. 42(a), during the stop display time of the special figure 1 variable display game in which the result is "lost", the number of first starting memories is 4 and the number of second starting memories is 0. state.

In addition, in FIG. 42(a), the decorative special figure starting memory display at the left end of the standby memory display section 83 is displayed in a specific display mode different from the normal display mode. That is, the standby storage display unit 8
At 3, a pending change effect suggesting a look-ahead result is executed. Here, the special figure variation display game corresponding to the decorative special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "support hit A", and that effect , It is suggested by the display mode of the decoration special figure start memory display. That is, the number of times of support to be provided is suggested by the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display.

Here, since the game result is "lost", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 on the display device 41 is one of the result modes of "losing". is "346".
Also, here, the game result is "lost", the number of first start memories is 4, and the number of second start memories is 0, so when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and decoration The special figure variation display game ends, and the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts (t62). After that, when the second predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, as shown in FIG. At the same time that the display of shifting the display to the in-execution memory display section 84) is executed, the numerical value of the first starting memory number display section 85a changes. Here, since a plurality of decoration special figure start memory display is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83, the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is changed to the running memory display by the transition effect. While moving to the part 84, the decoration special figure start memory display other than the left end of the standby memory display part 83 is shifted to the left in the memory display part 83 during standby.

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time (t63), as shown in FIGS. The fluctuation display of starts. After that, when the result of the special figure variation display game being executed is "support hit", as shown in FIGS.
The reach state in which the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area is established, and the reach fluctuation starts (t64).

Next, as shown in FIGS. 42(d) and 43, on the display device 41, a battle effect is started in which the friendly character fights the enemy character (t65). At the start of the battle production,
In order to secure a battle effect display portion for displaying a battle effect within the display area of the display device 41, the left movement display area of the first decoration game display portion 81 is moved to the left end of the display area of the display device 41. , the right fluctuating display area of the first decoration game display portion 81 moves to the right end of the display area of the display device 41, and the visibility of the middle fluctuating display area is lowered and becomes invisible. That is, the visibility of the medium fluctuation display area is lowered by the specific effect display. Further, the standby storage display section 83 and the execution storage display section 84 are hidden.

Next, as shown in FIG. 42(e), the result of the battle presentation is reported. Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game being executed is "support hit", the result of the battle presentation is "tie". On the other hand, when the result of the special figure variation display game being executed is "big hit", the result of the battle presentation is "winning of the ally character", and the result of the special figure variation display game being performed is "loss". , the result of the battle effect is "losing of the ally character".

Next, as shown in FIG. 42( f ), the game result is temporarily stopped (for example, rocking display) on the first decoration game display section 81 . As a result, the visibility of the middle fluctuation display area is restored. Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t66),
As shown in FIGS. 42(g) and 43, in the display device 41, when the variable display ends, the game result is stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82, The decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. In this case, since the game result is "supporter win A", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 in the display device 41 is the result mode of "supporter win A". It is "434".

Also, as shown in FIGS. 42(g) and 43, when the stop display time starts (t66),
When the support number notification effect starts, first, the support number to be given this time is notified. In this case, the game result is "support win A", and the number of support times corresponding to "support win A" is 20.
Since the number of times of support given this time is 20 times, an effect (for example, an effect of displaying "20 times of support" on the support time display unit 86) is executed. In contrast,
If the game result is "support win B", the number of times of support corresponding to "support win B" is 100 times. be. Further, when the game result is "support win C", the number of times of support corresponding to "support win C" is 1000 times. executed.
Further, as shown in FIG. 42(g), when the stop display time starts (t66), the standby memory display section 83 and the running memory display section 84 reappear.

Here, since the game result is "support hit", the number of first start memories is 3, and the number of second start memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and the decoration feature The figure variation display game ends, and the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts (t67). When the variable time starts (t67), as shown in FIG. 43, the game shifts to the chance mode. Specifically, in the case of the normal game state ST14, when the stop display time of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit" ends (t67), the game moves to the third specific game state ST13. Further, in the case of the first specific game state ST11, when the stop display time of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "sapo hit" ends (t67).
, to the second specific game state ST12.

In this embodiment, the standby memory display unit 83 and the running memory display unit 84 display only the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the main fluctuation, and display the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the irregular fluctuation configured not to display. Therefore, when the mode is shifted to the chance mode (t67), the main variation switches from the special figure 1 variation display game to the special figure 2 variation display game, so as shown in FIGS. The decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the standby memory display unit 83 disappears.

As shown in i), an effect for notifying that the remaining number of times of support is 19 (for example, an effect of displaying "19 times remaining" on the number of times of support display 86) is executed.

Also, when the variable display starts (t68), as shown in FIG. 43, the chance mode notification effect starts. Specifically, in the chance mode notification effect, first, an effect is executed to notify that the game will enter the chance mode, and then an effect is executed to notify that the chance mode is in progress. During the chance mode (during general electric support), the battle effect started during the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game whose result is "support hit" is continued, that is, the special figure fluctuation display whose result is "support hit" Since the game ends in a draw and the battle continues without a settlement, in FIGS. 42(i) and (j), as an effect to notify that the chance mode is on, a effect to display "battle mode" is displayed. It is running. As a result, it is possible to connect the effects before and after the transition to the chance mode.
Also, when the variable display starts (t68), as shown in FIG. 43, a right-handed instruction effect (for example, an effect displaying "Right-handed →" (see FIGS. 42(i) and (j)). ) starts.

Then, when the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37 during the chance mode (during the general electric support) and the second start memory (second special figure reservation) occurs, as shown in FIG. In the device 41, a new decoration special figure starting memory display appears and the number of the decoration special figure starting memory display of the standby memory display unit 83 changes, and the numerical value of the second start memory number display unit 85b changes. .
Further, when a support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the battle mode), a battle effect is executed and the support count is changed (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Each time the support count is changed, the number of allied characters may be increased or decreased, or the level of the allied characters may be increased or decreased. Specifically, for example, if the support count after the change is less than the support count before the change, the number of allied characters is maintained (or reduced) so that the support count after the change is equal to the support count before the change. If it is more than the number of times, the number of ally characters may be increased, for example, as shown in FIG. 42(k).

In addition, the identification information (decorative identification information) that constitutes the design for the support is the general design (designs 1 to 9)
It may be composed of only, may be composed of general symbols and special symbols (special symbols for support), or may be composed only of special symbols. .
That is, the support winning symbol temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 is shown in FIG. 42(f).
It may consist of only general symbols as shown in FIG. 42(l), it may consist of general symbols and special symbols as shown in FIG. It may be configured. Further, the support winning symbols stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 may consist of only general symbols as shown in FIG. 42(g),
As shown in FIG. 42(m), it may consist of a general pattern and a special pattern,
It may be composed only of special symbols.

Next, as shown in FIG. 45(b), the game result is temporarily stopped (for example, rocking display) on the first decorative game display section 81. FIG. Then, when the variable time of the special figure 2 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t76), as shown in FIG. The game result is statically displayed on the game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82, and the variable display is terminated on the collective display device 50, and the game result is statically displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52. Here, since the game result is "supporter win A", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 in the display device 41 is the result mode of "supporter win A". "434", and the batch display device 50
In, the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 is the result mode of "Sapo per A".

Also, as shown in FIGS. 45(c) and 48, when the stop display time starts (t76),
When the support number notification effect starts, first, the support number to be given this time is notified. In this case, the game result is "support win A", and the number of support times corresponding to "support win A" is 20.
Since the number of times of support given this time is 20 times, an effect (for example, an effect of displaying "20 times left" on the support number display unit 86) is executed.
Further, as shown in FIG. 45(c), when the stop display time starts (t76), the standby memory display section 83 and the running memory display section 84 that were hidden at the start of the battle effect reappear.
Here, the game result is "support hit", the number of first start memories is 1 and the number of second start memories is 0, so when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and the decoration feature The figure variation display game ends, and the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts (t77). When the variable time starts (t77), as shown in FIG. 48, the game shifts to the chance mode.

When the second predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable time, as shown in FIG. The display mode of the special figure 1 pending display 53 changes.
When the first predetermined time elapses from the start of the variation time (t78), as shown in FIGS. 45(d) and 48, the display device 41 displays the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game. The variable display of starts, and in the batch display device 50, the variable display of the special figure 1 variable display game starts.

When the variable display starts (t78), the number of remaining supports is notified in the support number notification effect. 45 (
As shown in d) and (e), an effect (for example, an effect of displaying "19 remaining times" on the support number display unit 86) is executed to notify that the remaining number of times of support is 19 times.
Further, when the variable display starts (t78), as shown in FIG. 48, a right-handed instruction effect for instructing right-handed hitting (for example, an effect displaying "Right-handed hit →" (see FIGS. 45(d) and (e)). ) starts.

Further, when the variable display starts (t78), as shown in FIG. 48, the chance mode notification effect starts. Specifically, in the chance mode notification effect, first, as shown in FIG.
) is executed, and then, as shown in FIG. 45(e), an effect (for example, an effect of displaying a "chance mode screen") is executed to notify that the chance mode is on. Here, the first decoration game display portion 81 (large pattern) is hidden by the chance mode entering screen or the chance mode in-progress screen and the visibility is lowered, but the visibility is not limited to this. Specifically, for example, the chance mode entry screen and the chance mode in-progress screen may be displayed in a size that does not overlap the first decoration game display section 81 so as not to reduce the visibility, or the chance mode entry screen and The first decorative game display section 81 may be displayed on the near side of the screen during the chance mode so as not to lower the visibility.

In this embodiment, the decorative special figure starting memory display is hidden at the start of the battle production and redisplayed at the time of design determination. When the pending change effect is executed in the standby memory display part 83 before it is hidden, the decorative special figure start memory display of the standby memory display part 83 is hidden at the start of the battle production and the pattern. When re-displayed at the time of confirmation, for example, FIGS.
), it may be redisplayed in a state in which the pending change effect is not executed (the pending change effect is canceled), or, for example, as shown in FIGS. It may be re-displayed in the state of

Specifically, the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby storage display unit 83 in FIG. 45 (a) and the decoration special figure start memory at the left end of the standby storage display unit 83 in FIG. The display is a decoration special figure starting memory display corresponding to the same starting memory. The display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display is a specific display mode before non-display (Fig. 45 (a)), while it is a normal display mode at the time of re-display (Fig. 45 (c)) . That is, it reappears in a state in which the display mode has been reset.
Also, in FIG. 45(f), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 and the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 in FIG. 45(h) , It is a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the same start memory. The display mode of the decorative special figure start memory display is a specific display mode before non-display (Fig. 45 (f)), and when re-displayed (Fig. 45 (h)
) also has the specific display mode.

Further, when re-displaying with the pending change effect being executed, the effect mode of the pending change effect at the time of re-display is, for example, as shown in FIGS. , or may be different from the rendering mode before non-display, as shown in FIGS. 46(a) to (e).
Specifically, the decoration special figure starting memory display at the left end of the standby storage display unit 83 in FIG. The display is a decoration special figure starting memory display corresponding to the same starting memory. The display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display is the same before non-display (Fig. 45(f)) and at the time of re-display (Fig. 45(h)). In other words, it reappears in a state where the display mode before non-display (before the start of the battle effect) is inherited.
Also, in FIG. 46(a), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 and the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 in FIG. 46(c) , It is a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the same start memory. Of the display modes of the decorative special figure start memory display, the display mode (in the case of this embodiment, color) for suggesting the look-ahead result is before non-display (Fig. 46 (a)) and at the time of re-display (Fig. 46 (c)), but the display mode (here, the shape) different from the display mode for suggesting the look-ahead result is displayed before non-display (Fig. 46(a)
)) and at the time of re-display (FIG. 46(c)).

The battle production is not only started during execution of the special figure fluctuation display game with the result of "support win", but also starts during execution of the special figure fluctuation display game with the result other than "support win". is possible, but if the result of the special figure fluctuation display game that was being executed at the start of the battle production is "support hit" and if it is not "support hit", whether or not there is a pending change effect at the time of reappearance Alternatively, the effect mode of the pending change effect at the time of reappearance may be changed.
Specifically, for example, the decorative special figure start memory display is hidden during execution of the special figure fluctuation display game (for example, at the start of the battle production) and at the start of the stop display time of the special figure fluctuation display game (
When the pattern is confirmed), and if the pending change effect is executed in the standby storage display unit 83 before it is hidden, the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is "support If "hit", as shown in FIGS. 45(a) to (e), it is displayed again without execution of the pending change effect, and if the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is "big hit", FIG. 46 ( Similar to a) to (e), redisplay in the state where the pending change effect is executed (the effect mode is different from before non-display), and if the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is "missing", FIG. 45 ( As in f) to (j), it may be redisplayed in a state where the pending change effect is executed (the effect mode is the same as before non-display).

Further, in the present embodiment, only the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the main variation is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 and the running memory display unit 84, and the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the irregular variation is configured not to display, but is not limited to this. For example, the standby memory display unit 83 can display only the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the main variation, and the running memory display unit 84 only displays the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the main variation. Instead, it may be possible to display the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the irregular fluctuation.
In that case, when the decoration special figure start memory display displayed in the running memory display unit 84 is a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to irregular fluctuation, for example, in FIG. 47 (a) ~ (e) As shown, the pending change effect may be executed in the in-execution memory display unit 84,
For example, as shown in FIGS. 47(f) to (j), the pending change effect may not be executed in the in-execution memory display section 84. FIG.

It should be noted that the pending change effect executed in the standby storage display section 83 is the standby storage display section 8
By displaying the decoration special figure start memory display displayed in 3 in a specific display mode, the result of the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the decoration special figure start memory display and the result of the prediction such as the fluctuation pattern. is.
In addition, the pending change effect executed in the running memory display section 84 is displayed in the running memory display section 8
By displaying the decoration special figure start memory display displayed in 4 in a specific display mode, the result of the special figure variation display game (currently running special figure variation display game) corresponding to the decoration special figure start memory display It is a production that suggests such as fluctuation patterns.

Specifically, the decorative special figure starting memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 in FIG. 47 (c), and the decorative special figure starting memory display in the running memory display unit 84 in FIG. Is a decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the same special figure fluctuation display game. The display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display is the same before moving to the running memory display unit 84 (Fig. 47 (c)) and after moving to the running memory display unit 84 (Fig. 47 (e)). ing. In other words, the transition is made to the in-execution storage display section 84 in a state in which the display mode before the transition is inherited.
It should be noted that the display mode after shifting to the in-execution storage display section 84 may be a display mode different from the display mode before shifting. Specifically, for example, among the display modes of the decorative special figure starting memory display, the display mode (in the case of this embodiment, color) for suggesting the look-ahead result is taken over even after the transition,
A display mode (for example, shape) different from the display mode for suggesting the look-ahead result may be different before and after the transition.

Also, in FIG. 47(h), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 and the decoration special figure start memory display in the running memory display unit 84 in FIG. 47(j) are the same It is a decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure fluctuation display game. The display mode of the decorative special figure starting memory display is a specific display mode before moving to the running memory display unit 84 (Fig. 47 (h)), while after moving to the running memory display unit 84 (Fig. 47 (j)) has a normal display mode. That is, the display mode is reset and the process is shifted to the in-execution storage display section 84 .

In addition, since only the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the main variation is displayed in the standby memory display unit 83, the decoration special figure start memory display displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 is the first start memory In the case of the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to, the decoration special figure start memory display is hidden when the chance mode starts, and reappears when the chance mode ends. For example, as shown in FIG. 49, when the first starting memory generated before the chance mode starts is not digested during the chance mode, the pending change effect for the first starting memory is performed before the chance mode starts. If it has been executed, when the chance mode ends, it may reappear with the display mode taken over before the start of the battle effect.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 45(d), (i), 46(d), 47(d), and (i), the memory display unit 83 during standby and the memory display unit 84 during execution display the chance mode entry screen. hidden in, but not limited to. Specifically, for example, the screen for entering the chance mode has a size that does not overlap the standby memory display unit 83 and the running memory display unit 84 (including the decoration special figure start memory display) (for example, the same size as the chance mode screen) , or a standby storage display section 83 and an execution storage display section 84 may be displayed on the near side of the screen for entering the chance mode.
Further, when the decoration special figure variation display game being displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 is a decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to irregular variation,
The decoration special figure start memory display (the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory of the main variation) of the standby memory display unit 83 may be hidden. 45(a), (f), and FIG. 46(a)
), in the example shown in FIGS. 47(a) and (f), the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) displayed in the standby memory display unit 83 is turned off It can also be used as a display.

In the example shown in FIGS. 44 to 48, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game (t72 to t73), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is "Lost" is the result mode, and the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is "
This is the result mode of "miss". Therefore, in a state in which the stop pattern (lost pattern) of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern (loose pattern) of the special figure 1 display device 51 are aligned, the special figure 2 Variation display of the variation display game (variation display in the special figure 2 indicator 52) and variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game (
The variable display on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82) is started.
Of course, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game (t72 to t73), the stop pattern of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 2 display device 52 match If not, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game (variation display in the special figure 2 display device 52) and the decoration corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game The variable display of the special figure variable display game (variable display in the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82) is started.

The special effect performed during the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit" is not limited to the battle effect, and can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, in addition to (or in place of) the battle effect during the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support win", a pseudo continuous effect that repeats the variation display of the large symbols may be executed. .
FIG. 50 shows an example of executing a pseudo-continuous effect as a special effect performed during the special figure 2 variable display game in which the result is "support win C". Since FIG. 50(a) is a diagram showing the same state as FIG. 45(a), its description is omitted.

Here, since the result of the special-figure variation display game being executed is "support hit", the pseudo-continuous effect is started in the first decorative game display section 81 after the start of the variation display. When the pseudo-continuous effect starts, as shown in FIG. 50(b), first, a support number suggesting special symbol and general symbol (here, "4") suggesting the number of support to be provided are temporarily stopped and displayed. Since the result of the special figure fluctuation display game being executed is "C for support", the number of support actually given is 1000
As for times, here, a special symbol for suggesting the number of support times is temporarily displayed to suggest that the number of times of support that is less than the number of times of support actually given is given. Specifically, a special symbol for indicating the number of times of support indicating that the number of times of support to be provided is 20 is temporarily stopped and displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 50(c), the suggested number of times is
to be displayed.
Then, as shown in FIG. 50(c), the re-fluctuation display of the large pattern starts, and then, as shown in FIG. 50(
As shown in d), a support number suggesting special symbol and general symbol (here, "5") suggesting the number of support to be provided are temporarily stopped and displayed. Here, a special symbol for indicating the number of times of support indicating the number of times of support to be added is temporarily stopped and displayed. Specifically, a special symbol for indicating the number of times of support indicating that the number of times of support to be added is 80 is temporarily stopped and displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 50( e ), the suggested number of times is added to the number of times displayed in the support number display section 86 .

Then, as shown in FIG. 50(e), the re-variation display of the large pattern starts, and then, as shown in FIG. 50(
As shown in f), a support number suggesting special symbol and general symbol (here, "6") suggesting the number of support to be given are temporarily stopped and displayed. Here, a special symbol for indicating the number of times of support indicating the number of times of support to be added is temporarily stopped and displayed. Specifically, a special symbol for indicating the number of times of support indicating that the number of times of support to be added is 900 is temporarily stopped and displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 50(g), the suggested number of times is added to the number of times displayed in the support number display section 86. FIG.

Then, as shown in FIG. 50(g), the re-fluctuation display of the large pattern starts, and then, as shown in FIG. 50(
As shown in h), the game result is temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decorative game display section 81, and the pseudo-continuous effect ends. Then, when the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game ends and the stop display time starts, as shown in FIG. 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 stop displaying the game result.
In this case, since the game result is "support win C", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 in the display device 41 is the result mode of "support win C". It is "656".

Further, as shown in FIG. 50(i), when the stop display time starts, the number of support notification effect starts, and first, the number of support to be given this time is notified. In this case, the game result is "support win C", and the number of times of support corresponding to "support win C" is 1000 times. Effect of displaying "Support 1000 times!"
Also, here, the game result is "support hit", the number of first start memories is 1, and the number of second start memories is 0, so when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and The decoration special figure variation display game ends, and the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts. When the variable time starts, the game shifts to the chance mode as shown in FIG. 50(j).

In FIG. 50, the case of executing a pseudo-continuous effect during the special figure 2 variable display game in which the result is "support hit" was illustrated, but the pseudo continuous effect is a special figure 1 variable display in which the result is "support hit". It can also be executed during the game. The same applies to special effects (for example, battle effects) other than the pseudo-continuous effects.
Also, in FIG. 50, the case where the pseudo-continuous effect is executed during the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit C" is illustrated, but the pseudo-continuous effect is a special figure in which the result is "support hit A". It can be executed during a variable display game, and it is also possible to execute it during a special figure variable display game in which the result is "support hit B".

In the pseudo-continuous effect executed during the special figure fluctuation display game in which the result is "Sapo Hit A",
For example, FIGS. 50(d) to (g) are omitted. That is, when the pseudo continuous effect starts, FIG.
As shown in (b), first, the special symbol for suggesting the number of support times is temporarily stopped and displayed, and then, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (c), the re-variation display of the large symbols starts, and then the first decoration game display section 81
, the game result is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the pseudo-continuous effect ends. Then, when the variation time of the special figure variation display game ends and the stop display time starts, the game result ("support hit A" result mode is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82). "434") is stopped, and the game shifts to the chance mode.

Further, in the pseudo-continuous effect executed during the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit B", for example, FIGS. 50(f) to (g) are omitted. That is, when the pseudo continuous effect starts,
As shown in FIG. 50(b), first, the special symbol for suggesting the number of times of support is temporarily stopped, and then,
As shown in FIG. 50(c), the re-variation display of the large pattern is started, then, as shown in FIG. ), the re-variation display of the large symbols is started, after which the game result is temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81, and the pseudo-continuous effect is finished. Then, when the variation time of the special figure variation display game ends and the stop display time starts, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are displayed.
, the game result ("545", which is the result mode of "support winning B") is stopped and displayed, and the game shifts to the chance mode.

In FIGS. 50(b), (e), and (f), the special symbols for suggesting the number of support are temporarily stopped and displayed in the medium variation display area of the first decoration game display section 81, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, special symbols for suggesting the number of times of support may be temporarily stopped and displayed in each of the left, middle, and right variable display areas.
Further, the number of times of support to be added is not limited to "80 times" and "900 times", and can be changed as appropriate. Also, the number of times of support initially suggested (the number of times of support that is less than the number of times of support actually given) is not limited to "20 times" and can be changed as appropriate.
Of course, the special effect (for example, battle effect, pseudo-continuous effect) performed during the special figure fluctuation display game in which the result is "support hit", the game state is the normal game state ST14 or the first specific game state ST11
Not only when the game state is the second specific game state ST12 or the third specific game state ST1
3 is also feasible. In other words, the special effect can be executed regardless of whether the chance mode is in progress (general electric support is in progress).

Also, when the stop display time of the special figure variation display game in which the game result is "support hit" starts, the support number notification effect starts, and first, the support number given this time is notified, but the stop display time The number of times of support notified inside may be different from the number of times of support actually provided. Specifically, for example, during the stop display time, it is notified that the number of support times that is less than the number of support actually given is given, and an additional effect that adds the number of support times during the chance mode is executed. good.
FIG. 51 shows an example of an additional effect performed after the end of the special figure 2 variable display game in which the result is "support hit C". Since FIG. 51(a) shows the same state as FIG. 45(a), its explanation is omitted.

Here, since the result of the special figure variation display game being executed is "support hit", FIG.
), the support winning symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81, and when the variation time of the special figure variation display game ends and the stop display time starts, as shown in FIG. 51(c). At the same time, the support winning symbols are stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . In this case, since the game result is "supporter win C", the display device 41 displays "767" as the supporter win symbol, which is common to "supporter win A", "supporter win B", and "supporter win C". ” is displayed temporarily or stopped. Of course, not only when the game result is "supporter hit C", but also when the game result is "supporter hit A" or "supporter win B", the result common to each "supporter win" as a supporter win symbol It is possible to temporarily stop display or stop display of the mode "767".

Further, as shown in FIG. 51(c), when the stop display time starts, the number of support notification effect starts, and the number of support to be given is first notified. In this case, the game result is "support win C" and the number of times of support corresponding to "support win C" is 1000, but the number of times of support given is smaller than the number of times of support actually given. An effect (for example, an effect of displaying “20 remaining times” on the number-of-supports display unit 86) is being executed.
Also, here, the game result is "support hit", the number of first start memories is 1, and the number of second start memories is 0, so when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and The decoration special figure variation display game ends, and the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts. When the variable time starts, it shifts to the chance mode.

When the game shifts to the chance mode, the chance mode notification effect starts. Specifically, in the chance mode informing effect, first, as shown in FIG. 51(d), an effect informing that the chance mode will be entered (for example, an effect of displaying a "chance mode entering screen") is executed. , as shown in FIG. 51(e), an effect (for example, "
Effect of displaying “chance mode screen”) is executed.
During the chance mode (during the general electric support), the game ball enters the normal variable winning device 37 and the second
When the start memory (second special figure reservation) occurs, as shown in FIGS. 51(f) and (g), in the display device 41, a new decorative special figure start memory display appears and the standby memory display unit As the number of decoration special figure starting memory display of 83 changes, the numerical value of the second starting memory number display portion 85b changes.

Here, the number of times of support to be added is displayed in the new decoration special figure start memory display. Then, as shown in FIG. 51(h), the fluctuation time of the next special figure variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) starts, and the transition effect (decorative special figure start memory display is displayed to transition) When performance) is executed, the number of times of support displayed in the decoration special figure start memory display shifted to the memory display part 84 during execution is added to the number of times displayed in the number of times of support display part 86.例文帳に追加Here, since "80" is displayed in the decoration special figure start memory display to be transferred to the in-execution memory display section 84, "80 times" is added to the number of times displayed in the support number display section 86. - 特許庁

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 51 (i), the fluctuation time of the next special figure fluctuation display game (special figure 2 fluctuation display game) starts, and the transition effect (decorative special figure start memory display is displayed to transition) When the performance) is executed, the number of times of support displayed in the decoration special figure start memory display shifted to the memory display part 84 during execution is added to the number of times displayed in the number of times of support display part 86.例文帳に追加Here, since "900" is displayed in the decorative special figure start memory display to be shifted to the memory display unit 84 during execution, "900 times" is added to the number of times displayed in the support number display unit 86. - 特許庁In addition, the display mode of the decoration special figure starting memory display displayed as "900" is a specific display mode different from the normal display mode. That is, the pending change effect for the starting memory corresponding to the decoration special figure starting memory display is executed.

Note that the number of times of support to be added is not limited to "80 times" or "900 times", and can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the number of times of support notified before the additional effect (the number of times of support that is smaller than the number of times of support actually provided) is not limited to "20 times" and can be changed as appropriate.
In addition, in this embodiment, the starting memory (here, FIG. 51 (f
) Decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to start memory) and decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to start memory (start memory generated in FIG. 51 (g) here) for pending change production , and the number of times of support to be added to both can be displayed, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to display the number of times of support to be added only to the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory that is not subject to the pending change production.

In addition, in this embodiment, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "lost" and the start memory of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "big hit" are supported. It was possible to display the number of supports to be added to both the decorative special figure start memory display and the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory of the special figure fluctuation display game where the result is "support hit". , but not limited to. For example, the number of supports to be added may be displayed only on the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the starting memory of the special figure fluctuation display game in which the result is "missing".

For example, if it is possible to display the number of supports to be added only to the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the start memory of the loss variation (special figure variation display game where the result is "miss"),
Since the presence or absence of the display of the support count indicates whether or not the game result is a losing change, the player can grasp that the game result is a "losing" even before the losing change starts. There is a possibility that interest in fluctuations will decrease.
On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, in the present embodiment, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the special figure variation display game in which the result is "lost" and the special figure variation display game in which the result is "big hit" are displayed. By making it possible to display the number of supports to be added to both the corresponding decorative special figure starting memory display and the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the special figure fluctuation display game whose result is "per support", Whether or not the number of times of support is displayed does not indicate whether or not there is a loss variation, so the interest in the loss variation can be improved.

In FIG. 51, the case of executing the additional production during the chance mode that entered with the end of the special figure 2 variable display game in which the result is "support hit" was illustrated, but the additional production is "support hit". It is also possible to execute it during the chance mode entered upon completion of a particular special figure 1 variable display game.
In addition, in FIG. 51, the case of executing the additional production during the chance mode entered with the end of the special figure variation display game in which the result is "support hit C" is illustrated, but the additional production is executed when the result is "support hit It is also possible to execute it during the chance mode that entered with the end of the special figure fluctuation display game that is A", and the chance mode that entered with the end of the special figure fluctuation display game with the result of "support hit B". It is also possible to run inside

In addition, in FIG. 51(b), the first decoration game display section 81 temporarily stops displaying "767", which is a result mode common to each "support winning", and in FIG. 51(c), the first decoration game Although "767", which is a result mode common to each "support win", is stop-displayed on the display unit 81 and the second decorative game display unit 82, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the game result is "supporter winning C", "656", which is the result mode of "supporter winning C", is temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display unit 81, and the first decoration game display unit 81 81 and the second decoration game display section 82, "Support win C"
"656", which is the result mode of the above, may be stopped and displayed.
For example, when "656", which is a result mode unique to "support win C", is temporarily stopped or stopped, the player can grasp the number of times of support actually given before the additional effect is executed. Since it becomes possible to do so, there is a possibility that the interest of the additional performance may decrease. On the other hand, as in the example shown in FIG. 51, by temporarily stopping or stopping the common result mode for each "supporting hit", the additional effect is actually given at the stage before execution. Since it is possible to obscure the number of times the support is provided, it is possible to improve the interest of the additional production.

Next, an example of game effects will be described. 52 to 54 show examples of game effects, and FIG. 55 shows changes in the visibility of the board effect device 44, the standby memory display section 83, the running memory display section 84, and the middle fluctuation display area 81b. rice field. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the display on the display device 41, the board presentation device 44 movable forward of the display device 41, and the display on the display board 350 arranged to cover the front surface of the game board 30 are combined. It is possible to execute the production that was made.

As shown in FIG. 52(a), when the previous special figure variation display game is finished, the identification information is stopped and displayed in the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82. Since the board effect device 44 is also at the initial position, the board effect device 44 and the standby storage display unit 8
3. The visibility of the identification information of each variable display area including the in-execution storage display section 84 and the intermediate variable display area 81b is high (t100 in FIG. 55).
When the next special figure variation display game is started from this state, as shown in FIG.
The variable display of the identification information is started in each of the left variable display area 81a, the middle variable display area 81b, and the right variable display area 81c of the decoration game display section 81. FIG. Also, the second decorative game display section 82
However, the variable display of the identification information is started. Since the identification information is variably displayed, the visibility of the identification information in each variable display area including the middle variable display area 81b is lowered (t101 in FIG. 55).
That is, the variable display of identification information changes the display of the display device 41 to change the visibility of the display.

As shown in FIGS. 52(c) and (d), in this example, after the start of the variable display, the board effect device 44 moves from the initial position toward the operation position on the center side of the display area. In this process, the identification information of the medium-variation display area 81b is gradually hidden, and the visibility is gradually lowered. Further, as shown in FIG. 52(e), the action of the board effect device 44 returning to the initial position gradually improves the visibility of the identification information in the medium fluctuation display area 81b (from t102 to t103 in FIG. 55).

After that, the display on the display panel 350 is performed as shown in FIG. 52(f). Display board 35
By displaying 0, the visibility of the first decoration game display portion 81, the second decoration game display portion 82, the memory display portion 83 during execution, and the memory display portion 84 during execution, which overlap with the display, is lowered. Here, the display on the display board 350 is a display that can see through the display device 41 and the board effect device 44 positioned behind, and the identification information displayed in the middle fluctuation display area 81b by the board effect device 44 is visually recognized. The degree of decrease is lower than that of the decrease in sexuality (from t104 to t105 in FIG. 55).
).

Then, as shown in FIG. 52(g), the ready-to-win state is reached, and here again, the board effect device 44 is operating as shown in FIG. 52(h). As a result, the visibility of the identification information in the medium fluctuation display area 81b is lowered (from t106 to t107 in FIG. 55). This effect is effected by changing the visibility of the display of the display device 41 by the board effect device 44. - 特許庁
In addition, as shown in FIG.
The visibility of the identification information b is further reduced (from t107 to t108 in FIG. 55). This effect is effected by changing the visibility of the display of the board effect device 44 and the display device 41 by the display of the display board 350 .
In addition, since the display on the display board 350 overlaps with the board effect device 44, the second decoration game display section 82, and the standby memory display section 83, the visibility of these also decreases, but they overlap compared to the middle fluctuation display area 81b. Since the area is small, the decrease in visibility is small.

That is, in the portion where the display on the display board 350 overlaps, the visibility of the identification information of the medium fluctuation display area 81b is the lowest, and the visibility of the board effect device 44, the second decoration game display section 82 and the standby memory display section 83 are the lowest. , and the visibility of the in-execution memory display section 84 is higher in this order, and there is a difference in the visibility between them.
As a result, the middle fluctuation display area 81b and the board effect device 44, which are the parts that the player pays the most attention to, are displayed.
Even in a situation where the production effect by covering the
By ensuring the visibility of 2, it is possible to easily grasp the progress of the special figure fluctuation display game. information can be easily grasped.
In addition to making a difference in visibility depending on the size of the area where the display on the display panel 350 overlaps, it is also possible to make a difference in visibility depending on the degree of transparency of the display on the display panel 350 . For example, the transparency of the portion overlapping the second decoration game display portion 82 and the standby memory display portion 83 may be set higher than the transparency of the portion overlapping the medium fluctuation display area 81b and the board effect device 44.

In this way, by changing the visibility of the identification information of the middle variable display area 81b forming a predetermined image displayed on the display device 41 between the display on the board effect device 44 and the display plate 350, various effects can be obtained. can be executed, and the amusement of the game can be improved.
Also, the degree of expectation for a special result can be suggested by the display color and display content of the display board 350.
Since the visibility of is ensured, even if the visibility of the first decoration game display section 81 is lowered, it is possible to grasp the progress of the game and the degree of expectation at the same time.

After that, when the display on the display board 350 ends, the board effect device 44 returns to the initial position,
The visibility of the display device 41 including the middle fluctuation display area 81b is recovered (t109 in FIG. 55). Then, it develops into the SP reach state, and the identification information temporarily stops in the medium fluctuation display area 81b as shown in FIG. 52(j). Due to the temporary stop, the visibility of the identification information in the medium fluctuation display area 81b is improved more than in the state of high speed fluctuation display (t110 in FIG. 55). Also, during execution of the SP reach, the standby storage display section 83 and the execution storage display section 84 are not displayed.

As shown in FIG. 53(a), in this SP ready-to-win effect, an effect is performed in which identification information is transformed into different identification information. As shown in FIG. 53(a), the shape of the identification information begins to deform, and as shown in FIG. 53(b), the identification information is deformed so as to be compressed from the left and right. The visibility of the area 81b is reduced. 53(c), (d)
), the visibility of the medium fluctuation display region 81b improves as the amount of deformation decreases (FIG. 5
t111 to t112 of 5). That is, the effect of transforming the identification information is the first effect of changing the display of the display device 41 to change the visibility of the display.
Also, the first effect here does not continue the state of low visibility as in variable display, but is a effect of periodically changing between a high visibility state and a low visibility state.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 53(e) and 53(f), the board rendering device 44 operates as shown in FIGS. An effect is being performed and the visibility is further reduced (from t113 to t115 in FIG. 55). This production is a second production in which the visibility of the display on the display device 41 is changed by operating the board production device 44 forming a movable accessory so as to overlap the display device 41 .
The execution timing of the second effect here is started in a state where the visibility is the lowest in the first effect in which the visibility changes periodically. Visibility is greatly reduced by lowering the visibility due to.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 53(i), the display on the display board 350 is executed while the board effect device 44 is operating, and the visibility is further reduced (from t115 to t116 in FIG. 55).
. This effect is achieved by displaying a predetermined display on the display board 350, thereby
A third effect of changing the visibility of the display of 1 is performed.
In the portion where the display on the display board 350 overlaps, the identification information of the medium-variation display area 81b has the lowest visibility due to a combination of the deformation, the overlap of the board effect device 44, and the overlap of the display on the display board 350. The visibility increases in the order of the visibility of the effect device 44 and the visibility of the second decoration game display section 82, and there is a difference in visibility between these.

As shown in FIG. 53(j), when the display on the display board 350 ends, the board effect device 44
returns to the initial position (t117 in FIG. 55), and the identification information in the reach state as shown in FIG. 54(a) temporarily stops (t118 in FIG. 55). In this example, the result is a big hit, and FIG.
As shown in 4(b), the board effect device 44 operates and the display on the display board 350 is performed to deterministically notify that the special result will be derived (from t118 to t121 in FIG. 55).
.
After that, the temporary stop is completed, the variable display is stopped, and the stop display time is reached, and as shown in FIG. A stop display is displayed (t122 in FIG. 55). As a result, the visibility of the identification information in the middle variation display area 81b is the highest. Further, during the stop display time, the display of the memory-in-waiting display section 83 and the memory-in-execution display section 84 is resumed.

When the stop display time ends, the special game state is started. As shown in FIG. 54(d), in the fanfare state, the second decoration game display section 82, the standby memory display section 83, the running memory display section 84, the first start memory number display section 85a, and the second start memory number display section are displayed. The display of 85b ends (t123 in FIG. 55).
In this example, as shown in FIGS. 54(e) and (f), the board effect device 4 is displayed during fanfare effect.
4 is operating, and the visibility of the identification information in the middle fluctuation display area 81b is lowered (t1 in FIG. 55).
24 to t127). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 54(g), the display is performed on the display panel 350 and the visibility is lowered (from t125 to t126 in FIG. 55).
After that, as shown in FIG. 54(h), the display on the display board 350 ends, the board effect device 44 returns to the initial position, the display on the first decoration game display section 81 also ends, and the display on the display board 350 ends. )
A round game is started as shown in (t128 in FIG. 55).

As shown in FIG. 54(i), in the round game, a round number display 87a indicating the number of rounds, a type display 87b indicating the type of bonus, a special result display 87c indicating the derived special result, and the number of won prize balls are displayed. Acquisition number display 87d shown is displayed.
As shown in FIG. 54(j), the operation of the board effect device 44 and the display of the display board 350 may be performed even during the round game. In this case, the round number display 87a and the type display 87b
, a part or all of the special result display 87c and the acquired number display 87d change in visibility depending on the display of the board effect device 44 or the display board 350. FIG. Of course, only one of the operation of the board rendering device 44 and the display of the display board 350 may be performed.

When the operation of the board effect device 44 and the display of the display board 350 are performed during the special game state, it is notified that the special game state more advantageous to the player than the contents of the special game state initially notified will be executed. There is a case of so-called promotion production.
For example, during the fanfare production as shown in FIGS. 54(e) to (g), or during the
It is conceivable to perform a promotion effect together with the operation of the board effect device 44 and the display of the display board 350 during the round as shown in FIG.
In this case, the display of the result mode on the first decorative game display section 81 shown in FIG.
By lowering the visibility of the special result display 87c shown in 4(j) by the display of the board effect device 44 and the display board 350, the first decoration game display section 81 and the special result display 87c are displayed in an advantageous manner for the player. You can effectively direct the process of change.

As described above, by changing the display of the display device 41 to change the visibility of the display, and by operating the board effect device 44 so as to overlap the display device 41, the display of the display device 41 is changed. A second effect of changing the visibility and a third effect of changing the visibility of the display of the board effect device 44 and the display device 41 by displaying a predetermined display on the display board 350 are executed in combination. Therefore, the visibility of the display device 41 can be changed in multiple stages, and the amusement of the game can be improved.
In addition, the operation of the board rendering device 44 and the display of the display panel 350 are performed so that the degree of visibility of the plurality of types of display on each part of the display device 41 is different, thereby enhancing the effect of rendering. In addition, visibility can be ensured for necessary display.
Also, the board rendering device 44 is opaque, and the display on the display plate 350 is translucent, so that the degree of deterioration of visibility is different, so that rendering with different tastes can be achieved.

In addition, a first effect of changing the visibility of the middle fluctuation display area 81b by deformation or the like, a second effect of changing the visibility of the middle fluctuation display area 81b by the operation of the board effect device 44, and a display panel 35
The third effect of changing the visibility of the board effect device 44 by displaying 0 can be executed independently, or can be executed in any combination.

Further, the visibility of the middle fluctuation display area 81b may not be changed by executing the third effect.
In the above example, since the identification information of the medium-variation display area 81b is not completely hidden by the board effect device 44, the visible part of the identification information of the medium-variation display area 81 is visually recognized by displaying the display board 350. However, by completely hiding the identification information of the medium fluctuation display area 81b by the board effect device 44, the visibility of the medium fluctuation display area 81 changes even if the display board 350 is displayed. you can avoid it.
In addition, by hiding the medium-variation display area 81 and the first decoration game display section 81 in advance when the display board 350 is displayed, the medium-variation display area 81 can be visually recognized even when the display board 350 is displayed. You can keep your gender from changing.

It should be noted that the volume emitted from the speaker 19 when the second effect that changes the visibility of the display of the display device 41 by operating the board effect device 44 forming a movable accessory so as to overlap the display device 41 is executed. is different depending on the execution timing of the second effect. As a result, the effect is different depending on the execution timing of the second effect.
In the above example, during execution of the special figure variation display game, the closer the end of the special figure variation display game is, the louder the sound volume is. Before reaching the reach state (from t102 to t103 in FIG. 55) the volume is the lowest, and when the reach state occurs (from t106 to t10 in FIG. 55)
9), during SP reach (from t114 to t117 in FIG. 55), and immediately before stopping the variable display (from t118 to t121 in FIG. 55), the volume increases in this order. As a result, it is possible to gradually increase the player's expectation towards the derivation of the result, and to improve the interest of the game. Note that the volume during operation of the board effect device 44 in the special game state (from t124 to t127 in FIG. 55) is the same volume as during the SP reach.

In addition, regarding the light emission mode of the predetermined LEDs provided in the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46 when the third effect of performing a predetermined display on the display board 350 is performed, before the occurrence of the SP reach (Fig. 55 t102 to t103, t106 to t109) and after SP reach occurs (t114 to t117, t118 to t121 in FIG. 55). As a result, the effect is different depending on whether or not the SP reach occurs.
In the above example, the LED is extinguished before the occurrence of the SP reach, and after the occurrence of the SP reach, the light emission mode continues the light emission mode before the execution timing of the second effect, or the light emission mode suggests the degree of expectation for a special result. I am trying to It should be noted that, even during the special game state, the light emission mode before the execution timing of the second effect is continued.

When the display board 350 is displaying a predetermined display, by turning off the other LEDs, the display board 35
A display board 350 such as the display of 0 becoming conspicuous and suggesting the occurrence of SP reach
It is possible to enhance the effect of directing by.
In addition, after the SP reach occurs, the image of the display device 41 and the S
The P-reach effect is performed, and the effect by the display of the display board 350 can be added while continuing these effects, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

The volume during execution of the second effect is not limited to the order described above.
The lower the visibility of 1b, the lower the volume may be.
Also, regarding the volume during the execution of the third effect, for example, the lower the visibility of the medium fluctuation display area 81b, the higher the volume. It may be made smaller.

Furthermore, the sound volume may differ between when the second effect and the third effect are combined and when they are not combined.
For example, in a situation where it is possible to select either the case where the second effect and the third effect are combined at the same timing, or the case where the second effect or the third effect is executed independently, the second effect and the third effect may be set such that the sound volume becomes louder when the second effect or the third effect is executed alone. Conversely, when the second effect and the third effect are combined, the sound volume may be made smaller than when the second effect or the third effect is executed alone.
By doing so, it is possible to provide different effects depending on whether or not the effects are combined, thereby improving the interest of the game.

In addition, when the second effect and the third effect are combined, when the volume is the lowest (for example, before reaching the reach state (t102 to t103 in FIG. 55)), the volume is the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game The sound volume may be smaller than that when the second effect or the third effect is executed alone.
In addition, when the volume is the largest among the cases where the second effect and the third effect are combined (for example, S
The volume during P reach (from t114 to t117 in FIG. 55)) may be smaller than the volume when the second effect or the third effect is executed alone during execution of the special figure fluctuation display game. .

Predetermined LEDs provided in the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46 during execution of the third effect
The light emission mode of is not limited to the one described above and can be arbitrarily set.
In addition, the light emitting mode of the predetermined LEDs provided in the frame decoration device 18 and the board decoration device 46 during execution of the second effect may also be changed according to the execution timing of the effect. For example, S
You may make it differ before generation|occurrence|production of P reach and after generation|occurrence|production of SP reach.

Furthermore, the light emission mode may be different between when the second effect and the third effect are combined and when they are not combined.
For example, in a situation where it is possible to select either the case where the second effect and the third effect are combined at the same timing, or the case where the second effect or the third effect is executed independently, the second effect and the third effect The light emission intensity of the LED may be higher when the second effect or the third effect is performed alone than when the second effect or the third effect is executed alone. Conversely, when the second effect and the third effect are combined, the emission intensity of the LED may be lower than when the second effect or the third effect is executed alone.
By doing so, it is possible to provide different effects depending on whether or not the effects are combined, thereby improving the interest of the game.

In addition, when the second effect and the third effect are combined during the execution of the special figure variation display game, the light emission intensity when the light emission intensity of the LED is the lowest is the second during the execution of the special figure variation display game The emission intensity of the LED may be lower than when the effect or the third effect is executed alone.
In addition, when the second effect and the third effect are combined, the light emission intensity when the light emission intensity of the LED is the highest is the second effect or the third effect performed alone during the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game. It may be made smaller than the emission intensity of the LED in the case.

Further, when the second effect and the third effect are combined, the light emission intensity of the LED may be changed according to the volume level.
For example, the higher the volume, the higher the emission intensity of the LED, or the higher the volume, the lower the emission intensity of the LED.

The execution timing of the operation of the board rendering device 44 and the display of the display board 350 is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily.
Further, the method for reducing the visibility of the identification information in the medium-variation display area 81b is not limited to the method described above, and other methods may be used. For example, the visibility may be reduced by inverting the identification information vertically or horizontally, or the visibility may be reduced by changing the color, brightness, saturation, or transparency of the identification information. The visibility may be lowered by overlapping the images of .

In addition, as the first effect, as shown in FIG. 52(b), a variable display effect is included in which the identification information is operated in the same manner in a plurality of variable display areas with the start of the special figure variable display game. However, this effect may not be included in the first effect.
For example, as shown in FIG. 52(g), in a situation where the operating states of the identification information are different in a plurality of variable display areas and there is a difference in visibility, the effect that reduces the visibility of the identification information may be set as the first effect. You can do it. Also, the first effect may be the effect of reducing the visibility of the identification information after the start of the ready-to-win state.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 52(b), with the start of the special figure variation display game, the visibility of the identification information is reduced by changes other than making the identification information operate in the same way in a plurality of variation display areas. may be used as the first production.

Further, in the above example, the visibility of the identification information in the middle fluctuation display area 81b is reduced, but the visibility of the identification information in the left fluctuation display area 81a and the right fluctuation display area 81c may be reduced. . Furthermore, the visibility may be reduced for images other than the identification information, such as background images, effect images, images indicating the firing direction, and the like.
In addition, reducing the visibility can be said to make it difficult to see, and these states may include making it invisible.
In addition, reducing the visibility includes covering a part or the whole of an object so that it cannot be seen, or covering a part or the whole of the object with an object or an image having low translucency.

Further, the operation and shape of the board rendering device 44 are not limited to those described above, and any type may be used. Furthermore, although the identification information of the middle fluctuation display area 81b is overlapped to reduce the visibility, the visibility may be reduced by overlapping the identification information of the left fluctuation display area 81a or the right fluctuation display area 81c. The operating range and operating mode of the device 44 can be arbitrarily set.
In addition, visibility may be reduced by overlapping images other than the identification information.
It may be superimposed on an image that instructs the shooting direction or the like to reduce the visibility.

Further, the display on the display plate 350 may be displayed at a position superimposed only on the front surface of the board effect device 44 when the board effect device 44 is at the position when the board effect device 44 descends and completes its operation.
By doing so, the first display that changes the visibility by the deformation of the medium fluctuation display area 81b or the like can be obtained.
The effect, the second effect of changing the visibility of the medium fluctuation display area 81b by the operation of the board effect device 44, and the third effect of changing the visibility of the board effect device 44 by the display of the display plate 350 are independently performed. and can be executed.
That is, in the case of executing the first effect, the second effect or the third effect alone, or in any combination of the first effect and the second effect, the first effect and the third effect, the second effect and the third effect A case of execution and a case of executing a combination of the first effect, the second effect and the third effect can be executed respectively.

Also, when executing the second effect or the third effect, the medium variation display area 81b and the first decoration game display section 81 may not be displayed. Furthermore, when the second effect or the third effect is executed, the waiting memory display part 83 and the executing memory display part 84 may not be displayed.
In this case, the pedestal portions of the standby memory display portion 83 and the in-execution memory display portion 84 (the rectangular display indicating the position where the memory display is displayed in FIG. 52(a)) may be left displayed, or may be displayed. You can choose not to.

Moreover, when a transparent liquid crystal display device or an EL display device is used as the display panel 350, it is possible to perform more diverse displays.
For example, when the visibility of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 is lowered due to the display on the display plate 350, the third decoration game may be displayed on the display plate 350. FIG. Also, the board effect device 44 displays the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8 .
The third decorative game may be displayed on the display panel 350 when the visibility of the second game is lowered. By doing so, it is always possible to clearly grasp the progress of the special figure variation display game.
The display position of the third decoration game may be a position that does not overlap the first decoration game display portion 81 or the display position of the second decoration game, or may overlap the display position of the second decoration game.
In the above-described example, in the situation where the board effect device 44 overlaps the front side of the medium fluctuation display region 81b, the medium fluctuation display region 81 is positioned in front of the board production device 44 on the display plate 350.
The identification information of b may be displayed.
Further, a predetermined display may be performed at a position in front of the board effect device 44 in accordance with the operation of the board effect device 44, and only the visibility of the board effect device 44 may be reduced.

In addition, the display on the display board 350 indicates that the standby storage display section 83, the execution storage display section 84, the first
When the visibility of the starting memory number display section 85a and the second starting memory number display section 85b is lowered, the display panel 350 may display the starting memory display, the running memory display, or the starting memory number. By doing so, it is always possible to clearly grasp the state of the starting memory.

Further, in the above example, the board effect device 44 is arranged behind the display plate 350, and the board effect device 44 can execute the second effect of changing the visibility of the predetermined image on the display device 41. The display board 350 can execute the third effect of changing the visibility of the first effect means.
I was trying to use it as a means of performance.
The display plate 350 may be arranged behind the board effect device 44. In this case, the display plate 350 is the first effect capable of executing the second effect of changing the visibility of the predetermined image on the display device 41. The board effect device 44 serves as a second effect means capable of executing the third effect of changing the visibility of the first effect means.
That is, it is sufficient that the second effect means for changing the visibility of the first effect means is positioned in front of the first effect means for changing the visibility of the predetermined image on the display device 41. The structure of the production means may be of any type. For example, both the first effect means and the second effect means may be the board effect device 44, and both the first effect means and the second effect means may be the display board 350.
Further, it is possible to allow three or more effect means to be overlapped in the front and back, so that the effect means located in front changes the visibility of the effect means located in the back.
Further, when the visibility of the predetermined image on the display device 41 is changed by another image displayed on the display device 41, the first image that changes the visibility of the predetermined image on the display device 41 can be used.
The display device 41 serves as a rendering means.

[Modified example 1 of support hit determination]
In the above-described embodiment, the same random number as the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is used to perform small hit determination (small hit lottery) and support hit determination (support hit lottery). That is, in the above-described embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 19 to 26, a big hit determination, a small hit determination, and a support hit determination are performed using a big hit random number (see FIG. 7(a)), and the determination result is If it is a big hit, the stop design information corresponding to the special design random number is acquired (see FIG. 7(b)), and if the judgment result is a small hit, the stop design information corresponding to the special design random number. is acquired (see FIG. 7(c)), and if the determination result is a support hit, stop design information corresponding to the special symbol random number is acquired (see FIG. 7(d
)), and if the determination result is neither, the stop symbol information of the lost is acquired, but the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the support hit is derived only in the low probability state, but the support hit may be derived only in the normal game state ST14 (no low probability support). Also, the support hit may be derived regardless of the game state, or the support hit may be derived only when there is no general electric support (normal game state ST14, first specific game state ST11). You can do it. In addition, whether or not the support hit can be derived may be selected based on the game state.

[Modified example 2 of support hit determination]
In the above-described embodiment, the lottery is performed using a common jackpot random number for the big win, the small win, and the support win. A lottery may be performed using a big win random number for a small win, and a lottery may be performed using a support win random number for a support win. In this case, for example, distribution ratios as shown in FIG. 56 are obtained. Specifically, for example, a big hit determination and a small hit determination are performed using a big hit random number (see FIG. 56 (a)), and if the determination result is neither a big hit nor a small hit, a support hit is determined using a support hit random number. A determination is made (see FIG. 56(d)).

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the stop symbol information is acquired using a common special symbol random number in any of the big hit, the small hit and the support hit, but the symbol random number corresponding to each result is provided. Alternatively, a special symbol random number may be used for the big hit and the small hit, and a support hit symbol random number may be used for the support hit.
For example, when the judgment result is a big hit, the stop pattern information corresponding to the big hit pattern random number is acquired (see FIG. 56(b)), and when the judgment result is a small hit, it corresponds to the small hit pattern random number. (See FIG. 56(c)), and if the determination result is a support hit (that is, if "support is activated"), the stop pattern information corresponding to the support hit symbol random number is obtained. (Refer to FIG. 56(e)), if the determination result is neither, the lost stop symbol information is acquired.

[Support hit determination process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 replaces the support hit determination process shown in FIG.
Support hit determination processing shown in FIG. 59 is executed. In this support hit determination process, step A42
After performing the processing of 2, it is determined whether or not the value of the target per support random number is less than the lower limit determination value per support (step A423a).

Then, if the value of the target random number per support is less than the lower limit judgment value for support (step A4
23a; Y), that is, if it is not a supporter's hit, the determination result is set to lose (step A428), and the supporter's hit determination process is terminated. Also, if the value of the target random number for the support hit is not less than the lower limit judgment value for the support hit (step A423a; N), it is determined whether it is in a high probability state (step A424). Then, if the high probability state (step A424; Y),
A support per upper limit judgment value in high probability is set (step A425), and it is determined whether or not the value of the target support per support random number is greater than the support per upper limit judgment value (step A427a). Also, if it is not in a high probability state (step A424; N), set the upper limit judgment value per support in low probability (step A426), and determine whether the value of the target random number per support is greater than the upper limit judgment value per support (Step A427a).

If the value of the target random number per support is greater than the upper limit judgment value per support (step A427a;
Y), that is, if it is not a support hit, set a loss as the judgment result (step A42
8), end the jackpot determination process. In addition, if the value of the target support hit random number is not greater than the support hit upper limit judgment value (step A427a; N), that is, if it is a support hit, the support hit is set as the determination result (step A429), and the support hit determination End the process.

The probability of winning the lottery for the supporter may be different for each probability set value, or may be the same. If the probability setting value is different, for example, the lower the probability setting value, the easier it is to win the lottery for the supporter (that is, setting 1 is the most likely to win, and setting 6 is the least likely to win). is good and vice versa. Moreover, the probability of winning the lottery for the supporter may be different for each probability state of the big win, or may be the same. When the probability of a big hit is changed for each state, for example, it may be possible to make it easier to win in the case of a low probability state (normal probability state) than in the case of a high probability state, or vice versa. . Also, it may be possible to win only when the probability is low. Also, the probability of winning the lottery per support may be different between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. - 特許庁

Also in this modification, the support hit may be derived only in the case of the normal game state ST14 (low-probability no support). Specifically, for example, the normal game state ST14
In , if the judgment result is neither a big hit nor a small hit, the support hit judgment is performed using the support hit random number, and if the judgment result is a big hit, the stop pattern information corresponding to the big hit pattern random number is acquired, and the judgment result is Acquire stop pattern information corresponding to the small hit pattern random number when it is a small hit,
When the determination result is a support hit, the stop symbol information corresponding to the support hit symbol random number is acquired, and when the determination result is neither, the lost stop symbol information is acquired, and in the specific game states ST11 to ST13, If the judgment result is a big hit without performing support hit judgment using the support hit random number, stop pattern information corresponding to the big hit pattern random number is acquired, and if the judgment result is a small hit, it corresponds to the small hit pattern random number. If the determination result is neither a big win nor a small win, then the stop symbol information of a misalignment may be acquired. i.e.
If it is in a high probability state or in a general electricity support, the processing related to the support (steps A150a to A150b, steps A149a to A149b, steps A151a to
A151d, steps A373a-A373b, steps A370-A372, steps A393a-A393b, steps A390-A392, etc.) may be skipped.
Alternatively, the support hit may be derived only in the case of a low probability state (normal game state ST14, third specific game state ST13), or a state without general electric support (normal game state ST14, first The support hit may be derived only in the case of the specific game state ST11).

[Modified example 3 of support hit determination]
Further, for example, without performing the support hit determination, it is possible to acquire the support hit design or the lost design using the special symbol random number. That is, if the game is not a big hit or a small hit, the stop symbol information corresponding to the special symbol random number may include the stop symbol information of the win and the support hit. In this case, for example, the distribution ratio is as shown in FIG. Specifically, for example, a big hit determination and a small hit determination are performed using a big hit random number (see FIG. 60 (a)), and when the determination result is a big hit, the stop design information corresponding to the special design random number (see FIG. 60(b)),
When the determination result is a small hit, the stop symbol information corresponding to the special symbol random number is acquired (see FIG. 60(c)).

Then, when the determination result is neither a big hit nor a small hit and is in a low probability state, as the stop pattern information corresponding to the special symbol random number, stop design information of losing or stop design information of support hit is acquired (Fig. 60) (d)).
In addition, when the determination result is neither a big hit nor a small hit and is in a high-probability state, stop symbol information of a loss is acquired.

If it is in a low probability state (step A462; Y), the distribution value shown in the low probability column of FIG. 60 (d) is set. Alternatively, a process of selecting a support hit (steps A447 to A452) is performed. Moreover, when it is not in a low probability state (step A462; N), the process (step A453, A454) which sets a losing design is performed.

[Special figure 2 stop pattern setting process]

In this special figure 2 stop design setting process, if the small hit flag 2 is not a small hit (step A4
80; N), it is determined whether it is in a low probability state (step A502). If it is in a low probability state (step A502; Y), the special figure pattern random number is used to set the distribution value shown in the low probability column of FIG. 60 (d). Alternatively, a process of selecting a support hit (steps A487 to A492) is performed. Moreover, when it is not in a low probability state (step A502; N), the process (step A493, A494) which sets a losing design is performed.

Also in this modification, the support hit may be derived only in the case of the normal game state ST14 (low-probability no support). Specifically, for example, the normal game state ST14
In (low-probability no support), when the determination result is neither a big hit nor a small hit, as stop pattern information corresponding to the support hit pattern random number, the stop pattern information for the support hit or the stop pattern information for the loss is acquired, and the specified In the game states ST11 to ST13, if the determination result is neither a big win nor a small win, the stop symbol information of losing may be obtained.
Alternatively, the support hit may be derived only in the case of a high probability state (first specific game state ST11, second specific game state ST12), or a state without general electric support (normal game state ST14, The support hit may be derived only in the case of the first specific game state ST11), or the support win may be derived regardless of the game state.

[Modified example 4 of support hit determination]
The small winning pattern (result mode of the small winning) and the support winning pattern (result mode of the supporting win) may be used together. Specifically, for example, by providing a combined design that serves as both a small winning design and a support winning design,
When the dual-purpose symbols are stopped and displayed on the display device 41 (and the collective display device 50), the chance mode (third specific game state ST13) may be entered after the small winning game state is finished.
In this case, for example, the distribution ratio is as shown in FIG. Specifically, for example, the big hit determination and the small hit determination are performed using the big hit random number (see FIG. 64 (a)), and when the determination result is a big hit, the stop design information corresponding to the special design random number is obtained (see FIG. 64(b)).
Then, when the determination result is a small hit, as the stop pattern information corresponding to the special pattern random number, the small hits A to C that serve as both the small hit pattern and the support pattern or the small hit pattern that does not serve as the support pattern. Acquire one of the hits D (see FIG. 64(c)).

[Big hit flag 1 setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the jackpot flag 1 setting process shown in FIG. 61(a) instead of the jackpot flag 1 setting process shown in FIG. 22(a). In this jackpot flag 1 setting process, the processes of steps A370 to A373 relating to the determination of the support hit are not performed. Therefore, in this modified example, the support hit determination process shown in FIG. 24 is not performed.

[Big hit flag 2 setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the big hit flag 2 setting process shown in FIG. 61(b) instead of the big win flag 2 setting process shown in FIG. 22(b). In this jackpot flag 2 setting process, the processes of steps A390 to A393 relating to the determination of the support hit are not performed.

[Special figure 1 stop pattern setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the special figure 1 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG. 65 instead of the special figure 1 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG.
In this special figure 1 stop design setting process, when the small hit flag 1 is a small hit (step A4
40; Y), set a high probability special figure 1 small winning pattern table in which a distribution value as shown in the high probability column of FIG. 64(c) is set (step A463).

[Special figure 2 stop pattern setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes a special figure 2 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG. 66 instead of the special figure 2 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG.
In this special figure 2 stop design setting process, when the small hit flag 2 is a small hit (step A4
80; Y), set a high probability special figure 2 small winning pattern table in which a distribution value as shown in the high probability column of FIG. 64(c) is set (step A503).

Then (step A505), the process of selecting the small hit type by the special pattern random number (step A481 ~ A
485).

Also in this modification, the support hit may be derived only in the case of the normal game state ST14 (low-probability no support). Specifically, for example, the normal game state ST14
In (low-probability no support), when the determination result is neither a big hit nor a small hit, as stop pattern information corresponding to the support hit pattern random number, the stop pattern information for the support hit or the stop pattern information for the loss is acquired, and the specified In the game states ST11 to ST13, if the determination result is neither a big win nor a small win, the stop symbol information of losing may be obtained.
Alternatively, the support hit may be derived only in the case of a high probability state (first specific game state ST11, second specific game state ST12), or a state without general electric support (normal game state ST14, The support hit may be derived only in the case of the first specific game state ST11), or the support win may be derived regardless of the game state.
Further, in the case of a support win, the number of times of support may be set to be one or more times, and in the case of a small win, the number of times of support may be selected to be 0 times. If 0 is selected as the number of times of support, the specific game state ends with the game. Conversely, in the case of a support win, 0 times may be selected as the number of times of support, and in the case of a small win, the number of times of support may be set to 1 or more.
In addition, in the case of a gaming machine that performs a so-called two-type game in which there is no big win and only a small win can be won, a small win random number is used to draw a small win, and if a small win is won, It is possible to select a small hit type by a special symbol random number. In this case, 0 may be selected as the number of times of support.

From the above, in a gaming machine that executes a game based on the establishment of a starting condition and can generate a special game state when the result of the game becomes a special result, game control means (game control device) for controlling the game 100), and a normal variable winning device 37 in which the starting condition is established by winning a game ball, and the special result includes the first special result (big hit) accompanied by the operation of the condition device and the operation of the condition device. There is a second special result (minor win), and the game control means has a normal game state, a specific game state in which winning to the normal variable winning device 37 is easier than the normal game state,
A special game state can be generated, and when the result of the game is a predetermined result of the second special results, after the special game state (small winning game state, second special game state) is generated. A specific game state can be generated, and it is possible to determine whether the result of the game will be a first special result, a second special result, or a losing result before executing the game. Become.
Therefore, even in the case of the second special result, the specific game state can be generated, and the interest in the game can be improved.

[Modified example 5 of support hit judgment]
Although the selection of the type of support hit is performed by the special symbol random number, it may be selected by the big hit random number.
For example, as the judgment value of the jackpot random number, the range of the support hit is divided into the ranges of the support hit A, the support hit B, and the support hit C, and if the extracted jackpot random value falls within the support hit range, which range Depending on whether or not it is applicable, it may be possible to set the win for the supporter and the symbol for the supporter. In this case, for big hits and small hits, the type is selected by the special symbol random numbers, but like the support hit, the type is not selected by the special symbol random numbers, and the type is selected by the big hit random numbers. good.
In the case of a game machine that performs so-called two-type games in which only small wins can be won without big wins, the lottery and selection of types of support wins are similarly performed using small win random numbers for lottery of small wins. is possible.

[Other modification 1]
The normal variable winning device 37 may be arranged at a position where both left-handed and right-handed players can win (for example, the lower center of the game area 32). For example, in the case of frequently stopping support win symbols (support win A symbols, etc.) corresponding to a relatively small number of times of support, chance mode starts and ends frequently. By arranging the normal variable winning device 37 at a position where both right-handed and left-handed players can win, it is not necessary to separate the game balls into the left game area and the right game area according to the start and end of the chance mode. Gone. In addition, when the normal variable winning device 37 is arranged at a position where both right-handed and left-handed players can win, the large winning opening and the normal winning opening are positioned upstream of the large winning opening in the right game area. A variable winning device 37 may be provided with a function (such as a nail or a channel) for distributing game balls. In addition, the support winning symbol that corresponds to a relatively small number of support times is not limited to the support winning A symbol corresponding to the support number of times of 20 times, and can be changed as appropriate. It may be a certain support winning pattern.

[Other modification 2]
It is also possible to provide a support hit pattern (support hit result mode) in the result mode of the normal figure fluctuation display game without providing a support hit pattern (support hit result mode) in the result mode of the special figure fluctuation display game. That is, instead of deriving the support hit in the special figure variation display game, the support hit may be derived in the normal figure variation display game.

[Other modification 3]
In the above-described embodiment, when the game is shifted to the chance mode, the right-handed instruction effect is always executed. That is, irrespective of the stopping support winning symbol (the number of times of support provided), the right-handed instruction effect is executed when the game shifts to the chance mode, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only when the support hit pattern (support hit A pattern, etc.) with a relatively small number of corresponding support stops, when the chance mode is shifted, the right-handed instruction effect is executed to prompt the user to accumulate the second start memory. can be Note that the support win symbol corresponding to a relatively small number of support times is not limited to the support win A symbol corresponding to the support count of 20 times, and can be changed as appropriate, for example, the corresponding support count is 1 time. It may be a support winning pattern.
Also, only when the first special figure fluctuation display game after shifting to the chance mode is the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, when the chance mode is shifted, the right-handed instruction effect is executed and the second start memory is stored. You can encourage me.
Further, only when the normal game state ST14 is shifted to the chance mode, when the shift is made to the chance mode, a right-handed instruction effect may be executed to prompt the player to store the second start memory.

[Other modification 4]
In this embodiment, when it is not in the general electric support, it is a state where there is no time reduction for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal diagram fluctuation display game, and when it is in the general electric support, it is a time reduction in which the fluctuation time of the general diagram fluctuation display game is shortened. Since it is in a certain state, the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game that is executed when it is not in the general electric support is longer than the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game that is executed when it is in the general electric support, but this is not limited to For example, the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game executed when the general electric power is not supported may be the same as the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game executed when the general electric power support is in progress. As a result, it becomes possible to accumulate the second starting memory immediately after shifting to the chance mode. Since the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a gaming machine that executes the special figure 2 variation display game with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, it shifts to the chance mode and the first special figure variation display game ends. By generating the second starting memory before
After the first special figure variation display game, the main variation (special figure 2 variation display game) can be executed, and the game can be progressed in an advantageous manner for the player.
In addition, if the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game that is executed when it is not in the general electric support is the same as the fluctuation time of the normal map fluctuation display game that is executed when the general electric power support is in progress, the general electric support It is preferable to set the normal pattern per probability to 0 when it is not inside.

[Other modification 5]
In the above embodiment, the number of times of support given this time is always notified when the chance mode is entered. That is, regardless of the stopped support per pattern (number of support given), when the stop display time starts, the number of support given this time is notified, but it is not limited to this. Whether or not to report the number of times of support may be determined according to the number of times of support. Specifically, for example, when a support win symbol (support win A symbol, etc.) corresponding to a relatively small number of support times stops, the number of support times given this time is not notified even if the stop display time starts. In addition, when other support winning symbols are stopped, when the stop display time starts, the number of times of support given this time may be notified. Note that the support win symbol that corresponds to a relatively small number of support times is not limited to the support win A symbol that corresponds to a support count of 20 times, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the corresponding support count is less than 10 times. It may be a certain support winning pattern.

[Other modification 11]
The configuration of the gaming machine may be a so-called 1 + 2 gaming machine in which a special game state is generated by winning a prize in the specific area 38h. FIG. 67 is a diagram exemplifying a game state transition diagram (game flow) showing transitions of game states in the gaming machine of this modified example.
The game state includes a normal game state ST14, a third specific game state ST13, and a special game state ST.
15. There is a small winning game state ST16. Also, in the gaming machine of this modified example, the probability of deriving a special result is always constant.

In the normal game state ST14, there is no electric power support for improving the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning, and the variable time of the special figure variation display game and the normal figure variation display game is shortened. There is no short time. Also, the production mode that defines the production mode is the normal mode. The main variation special figure is a special figure 1 variation display game, and the main start area is the start winning opening 3
6, and in order to aim at this start winning opening 36, the shooting direction is left-handed. i.e.
It is designed so that the special figure 1 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 2 variation display game is the irregular variation.

The third specific game state ST13 is a state in which there is a general electric support that improves the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning. If there is general electricity support, there is also a time saving to shorten the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game and the general figure fluctuation display game. A performance mode that defines a performance mode is a chance mode. In addition, the main variable special figure is the special figure 2 variation display game, and the main starting area is the normal variation winning device 37, and this normal variation winning device 37
In order to aim for , the firing direction is assumed to be right-handed. That is, it is designed so that the special figure 2 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 1 variation display game is the irregular variation. When the special figure variation display game of the number of times of support is executed in this third specific game state ST13, it shifts to the normal game state ST14.

When a big hit is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game in the normal game state ST14 or the third specific game state ST13, the game shifts to the special game state ST15. Then, after the special game state ST15 ends, the game moves to the third specific game state ST13. Third specific game state ST13
The number of support times in is determined by the type of jackpot.

When a small hit is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game in the normal game state ST14 or the third specific game state ST13, the game moves to a small win game state ST16. Then, when the game ball flows into the specific area 38h (V winning) in the small winning game state ST16, the special game state ST15 is entered. After the end of the special game state ST15 in this case, the transition destination differs depending on the type of the derived small win, and if the number of times of support is set to 0, the game shifts to the normal game state ST14. In addition, when the number of times of support is set to a value other than 0, the game shifts to the third specific game state ST13. The number of times of support in the third specific game state ST13 is determined by the kind of small win.

When the game ball does not flow into the specific area 38h in the small winning game state ST16, the transition destination differs depending on the type of the derived small winning, and the number of times of support is set to 0 times. It shifts to game state ST14. Further, when the number of times of support is set to a value other than 0, the game moves to the third specific game state ST13. Third specific game state ST
The number of support in 13 is determined by the kind of small hit.

FIG. 68 shows the allocation rate in the gaming machine of this modified example. All small hits also serve as support symbols, and the number of support times set for each is different. Incidentally, as in the first embodiment, the results of only the support symbols may be provided.

[Big hit flag 1 setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the jackpot flag 1 setting process shown in FIG. 61(a) instead of the jackpot flag 1 setting process shown in FIG. 22(a). In this jackpot flag 1 setting process, the processes of steps A370 to A373 relating to the determination of the support hit are not performed. Therefore, in this modified example, the support hit determination process shown in FIG. 24 is not performed.

[Big hit flag 2 setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the big hit flag 2 setting process shown in FIG. 61(b) instead of the big win flag 2 setting process shown in FIG. 22(b). In this jackpot flag 2 setting process, the processes of steps A390 to A393 relating to the determination of the support hit are not performed.

[Special figure 1 stop pattern setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the special figure 1 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG. 65 instead of the special figure 1 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG.
is not processed.

[Special figure 2 stop pattern setting process]
In this modification, the game control device 100 executes the special figure 2 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG. 66 in place of the special figure 2 stop symbol setting process shown in FIG.
is not processed.

[Specific area switch monitoring process]
In the gaming machine of this modification, the process shown in FIG. 69 is performed in the specific area switch monitoring process (step A10) in the special game process. In this specific area switch monitoring process, first,
It is determined whether or not it is a small hit (step A41). During the small hit here is a period during which the small hit medium processing and the small hit remaining ball processing are performed. If it is not during this small hit (step A4
1;N) ends the specific area switch monitoring process. That is, the specific area switch 38d
is valid only during the period during which the small hit medium processing and the small hit remaining ball processing are performed. Moreover, when it is during a small hit (step A41; Y), it is determined whether the condition device is operating (step A42).

If the condition device is in operation (step A42; Y), the specific area switch monitoring process is terminated. If the condition device is not in operation (step A42; N), it is determined whether there is an input to the specific area switch (step A43). If there is no input to the specific area switch (step A43; N), the specific area switch monitoring process is terminated. If there is an input to the specific area switch (step A43; Y), the specific area passage flag is set (step A44), and the specific area switch monitoring process ends. Afterwards, processing for generating a special game state is performed based on the existence of this specific area passing flag.

[Small hit remaining ball processing]
In the gaming machine of this modification, small hit remaining ball processing (step A18) in the special game processing
, the processing shown in FIG. 70 is performed. In this small hit remaining ball processing, first, it is determined whether or not a remaining ball error is occurring (step A861). If a remaining ball error is occurring (step A861; Y), the process proceeds to step A863. Also, if the remaining ball error is not occurring (step A861; N), it is determined whether the remaining ball counter is 0 (step A862). If the remaining ball counter is not 0 (step A862; N), the small hit remaining ball processing is terminated. Also, if the remaining ball counter is 0 (step A862; Y), the process for ending the small hits after step A863 is performed.

That is, after all the remaining balls in the first special variable winning device 38 are discharged, the process for ending the small win is performed. However, at the end, the game ball is the first special variable winning device 38
If there is a residual ball error in which the discharge cannot be confirmed even after a predetermined period of time has passed since it entered the ball, it is assumed that the time required for discharge has passed sufficiently, and the process to end the small hit is performed. ing. Of course, when the remaining ball error is in progress, the processing for ending the small hit may not be performed. Therefore, the process of step A861 may not be performed.

In the processing for ending the small hit, first, it is determined whether or not the specific area has passed (step A863). When the game ball flows into and passes through the specific area 38h, the specific area switch 3
8d and the specific area passing flag is set. Here, it is determined whether or not there is a specific area passage based on the presence or absence of the specific area passage flag. If there is passage through the specific area (step A863; Y), the process proceeds to step A870 to perform processing for generating a special game state. Moreover, when there is no specific area passage (step A863; N), it transfers to step A864, finishes a small hit game state, and performs the process for making a special figure variation display game executable.

In the processing for terminating the small winning game state after step A864 and making it possible to execute the special figure variation display game, 10 for the small winning end processing is set as the processing number (step A8
64), save the process number in the special game process number area (step A865). next,
Save the small hit ending time in the special game processing timer area (step A866),
The fraud monitoring period flag is saved in the upper grand prize opening fraud monitoring period flag area (step A8
67). Then, the big winning hole count area is cleared (step A868), the small hit middle control pointer area is cleared (step A869), and the small hit remaining ball processing is finished.

On the other hand, there is a specific area passing (step A863; Y), when performing the process of generating a special game state after step A870, prepare by loading the command from the decoration special figure command area (step A870), production command Setting processing is performed (step A871). Next, a V jackpot fanfare command is prepared (step A872), and effect command setting processing is performed (step A873).

After that, save it in the signal external information output data area regarding the start of the jackpot (V jackpot) (
Step A874), a test signal regarding the start of the jackpot (V jackpot) (for example, condition device operating signal ON, character continuous operating device operating signal ON, special pattern 2 winning signal ON) test signal output data area (step A875).

Then, the number of the jackpot is saved in the game state display number area (step A876), the round number upper limit table is set (step A877), and the round number upper limit value (this modification) corresponding to the round number upper limit information In case 10) is acquired and saved in the round number upper limit area (step A878). Further, the round LED pointer corresponding to the round number upper limit information is acquired and saved in the round LED pointer area (step A879), and the initial value (here, 1) is saved in the round number area (step A880). 10 rounds are set as the upper limit of the number of rounds, but since the small win operation corresponds to the first round, 9 rounds are released in the special game state by setting 1 as the initial value of the number of rounds. I'm trying

After that, set 3 for fanfare/interval processing as the processing number (step A881), and save in the special figure game processing number area (step A882). moreover,
V jackpot fanfare time is saved in the special game processing timer area (step A883
), perform the fanfare/interval process transition setting process (step A884),
Go to step A868.

With the configuration as described above, the following characteristic game progression is possible.
Since the third specific game state ST13 is a game state with a high possibility that the game ball flows into the specific area 38h and shifts to the special game state ST15 in the small win game state ST16 accompanying the derivation of the small win, the normal game state This game state is more advantageous for the player than ST14, and the longer this game state continues, the more advantageous it becomes for the player.
As the type of the small win derived in the third specific game state ST13, if a small win with a non-zero support count is derived, the third specific game state ST13 can be continued, but the support count is zero. When a small hit is derived, the game is shifted to the normal game state ST14. That is, the derivation of a small win with the number of times of support being 0 triggers the player to fall into a disadvantageous gaming state. By providing such a fall opportunity, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in the third specific game state ST13.

From the above, a game is controlled in a gaming machine that executes a game based on the establishment of a starting condition and can generate a special game state in which a game value is awarded to a player when the result of the game is a special result. game control means (game control device 100) and a normal variable winning device 37 in which the starting condition is established by winning a game ball, and the special result is the first condition device accompanied by the operation of the condition device
There are a special result and a second special result that does not involve the operation of the condition device, and the game control means is a normal game state and a specific game state in which winning to the normal variable winning device 37 is easier than the normal game state. and a special game state can be generated, and based on the result of the game becoming the first special result, the first special game state can be generated as a special game state, and the first special game state is generated. After that, a specific game state can be generated, and based on the result of the game becoming a second special result, a second special game state can be generated as a special game state, and when the second special game state is generated , it is possible to generate the specific game state without generating the first special game state.
Therefore, since the specific game state can be generated based on the second special result that does not involve the operation of the conditional device, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game.

In addition, the special variable winning device includes the first special variable winning device 38 and the second special variable winning device 3
9, provided with a specific area 38h into which game balls that have won the first special variable winning device 38 can flow, and based on the derivation of the first special result or the flow into the specific region 38h, the second special variable winning device 39 A first special game state that can be converted to the open state can be executed, and a second special game state that can convert the first special variable winning device 38 to the open state can be executed based on the derivation of the second special result. Yes, the game control means sets the number of executions of the special figure variation display game that can be executed in the specific game state according to the type of the derived special result, and when the special result is derived during the execution of the specific game state is configured to set the number of executions based on the derived special result by discarding the remaining number of special figure fluctuation display games that can be executed in the specific game state during execution, and is set based on the special result 0 can be set as the number of times of execution.
Therefore, by setting 0 times, it is possible to set the specific game state to end or not to start the specific game state, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

In addition, a starting prize winning port 36 is provided in which a starting condition is established by winning a game ball, and the game control means can execute a first game as a game based on the winning of a game ball to the starting prize winning port 36,
A second game can be executed as a game based on the winning of game balls to the normal variable winning device 37, and the number of executions of the specific game state is set to 0 when the result of the second game is the second special result. It should be possible.
Therefore, by setting 0 times, it is possible to set the specific game state to end or not to start the specific game state, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

In addition, although the dual-purpose symbol serving as both the small winning symbol and the support winning symbol is used, it is also possible to provide a support symbol that does not serve both as the small winning symbol and the supporting winning symbol.
In this case, by providing a support symbol in which the number of times of support is 0 as the support symbol, the configuration similar to that of the above-described modification can be obtained.
In addition, in the special figure 1 variable display game, only a small win with a support count of 0 is provided, but a small win with a support count other than 0 may be provided, or a small win may not occur. Also good.

From the above, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment executes the game (special figure variation display game) based on the establishment of the starting condition, and gives the player a game value when the result of the game is a special result. A game machine capable of generating a special game state to be awarded, and a normal variable winning device 37 in which a start condition is established by winning a game ball, and a normal game state (normal game state ST14, first specific game state ST11) are specified. Game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13)
and a game state control means (game control device 100) capable of generating a special game state, and the game state control means determines that the result of the game is a predetermined result (in this embodiment, a normal jackpot or In the case of a probability variable A jackpot), it is possible to generate a specific game state after generating a special game state, and if the result of the game is a specific result (support hit) different from the special result, a special It is configured so that a specific game state can be generated without generating a game state (see FIG. 8).

Therefore, since the specific game state (general electric support) occurs with a predetermined probability until the special game state occurs, it is possible to suppress the player's usage amount and suppress the reduction speed of the ball. is possible, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.
In addition, since the specific game state (general electric support) may occur not only after passing through the special game state but also without passing through the special game state, the transition timing of the game state increases. As a result, the interest in the game can be enhanced.
In addition, if the specific game state (normal support) occurs frequently, there is a risk that gambling will become too high. When the game state (general electric support) occurs frequently, it is necessary to suppress the number of balls released in the special game state accordingly. Therefore, even if the specific game state (universal electric support) occurs frequently, the gambling nature does not become too high, and furthermore, it is possible to moderate the wave of paid out balls.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is such that the result of the game (special figure variation display game) is a specific result (
A setting means for setting a period corresponding to the specific result as a specific game period (number of times of support) for generating a specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13) when a support win is reached. (game control device 100), and when the result of the game becomes a specific result during the occurrence of the specific game state, the setting means resets the specific game period being set to correspond to the specific result. The duration can be configured to be resettable (Fig. 10
reference).
By configuring in this way, when the specific result (support hit) is derived during the specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13), the specific game period (support number) Since it is possible to extend the time, the amusement of the game is improved.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is such that the result of the game (special figure variation display game) is a specific result (
A setting means for setting a period corresponding to the specific result as a specific game period (number of times of support) for generating a specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13) in the case of a support win). (game control device 100), and the setting means adds a period corresponding to the specific result to the remaining period of the specific game period when the result of the game becomes the specific result during occurrence of the specific game state. The period can be configured so that it can be reset as a specific game period (see FIG. 11(a)).
By configuring in this way, when the specific result (support hit) is derived during the specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13), the specific game period (support number) Since it will be extended, the amusement of the game is improved.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with effect control means (effect control device 300) that executes effects related to the game (special figure variation display game), and the effect control means, after the special game state occurs Occurred specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST1
3) and a specific game state (second specific game state ST12,
3rd specific game state ST13) and, it is possible to make the production possible execution.
By configuring in this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13).
It should be noted that the specific game state that occurred after the special game state (second specific game state ST12
, 3rd specific game state ST13) and the specific game state (second specific game state ST12, 3rd specific game state ST13) generated without the occurrence of the special game state, different modes of production are executed. can be Thereby, whether it is a specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13) generated based on the derivation of the special result (jackpot), or a specific game generated based on the derivation of the specific result (support hit) Since it is possible to suggest whether it is in the state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13) by the effect executed during the specific game state, the amusement of the game is improved.

In addition, a specific game state (second specific game state ST12
, 3rd specific game state ST13) and a specific game state (second specific game state ST12, 3rd specific game state ST13) in which the special game state does not occur. can be
Specifically, for example, a specific game state (second specific game state ST12, third specific game state ST13) that occurred after the special game state occurred, and a specific game state that occurred without the special game state ( When the specific game period (number of times of support) is the same between the second specific game state ST12 and the third specific game state ST13), the same mode of presentation may be executed. That is, for example, the effect mode of the effect executed in the chance mode generated based on the derivation of the jackpot corresponding to the number of support times of 100 (normal jackpot in the case of the present embodiment) and the corresponding number of support times of 100 times. Support hit (support hit B in the case of this embodiment)
may be the same as the effect mode of the effect executed in the chance mode generated based on the derivation of .

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with an instruction means (effect control device 300) for instructing the game ball shooting direction that is advantageous for the player. When this happens, it is possible to configure so as to start instructing the shooting direction in response to the start of the game to be executed next to the current game (see FIGS. 43 and 48).
By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to accurately indicate the direction in which the game ball is to be shot, thereby improving the interest of the game.

[Special figure fluctuation display game and decorative special figure fluctuation display game]
Next, a special figure variation display game on the collective display device 50 and a variation display game (decorative special figure variation display game) on the display device 41 will be described with reference to FIGS.

71 and 72 show a case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result is "big hit". FIG. 71 is an example of display on the display device 41 and the collective display device 50, and FIG. 72 is an example of a timing chart.
In FIG. 71(a), during the stop display time of the special figure 1 variable display game in which the result is "lost", the number of the first starting memories is 1 and the number of the second starting memories is 0. state. Here, since the game result is "lost", the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 on the display device 41 is one of the result modes of "losing". is "123", and in the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 indicator 51
display mode is "miss" result mode (LED lamp A0 is turned on and LED lamp A
1 to A7 are turned off). In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 71 (a), the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 is also the result mode of "missing" (the LED lamp B0 is turned on and L
ED lamps B1 to B7 are turned off.

Also, here, since it is during the stop display time of the special figure 1 variable display game, the number of first start memories is 1 and the number of second start memories is 0, so in the display device 41, the first The numerical value of the starting memory number display section 85a is "1", and the numerical value of the second starting memory number display section 85b is "0". 0 decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) is displayed. In addition, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 reservation indicator 53 corresponds to "one special figure reservation" (the LED lamp C0 is turned on and the LED lamp C1 is turned off (
See FIG. 4 (d))), and the display mode of the special figure 2 reservation indicator 54 is "no special figure reservation"
(a mode in which the LED lamps C2 and C3 are turned off (see FIG. 4(d))).

And here, since the game result is "lost", the number of first start memories is 1 and the number of second start memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure fluctuation display game and decoration After the special figure variation display game ends, the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, which is the next special figure variation display game, starts. When the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game starts, FIG.
), in the display device 41, the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed to move to the running memory display unit 84, and the first start memory number display The numerical value of the portion 85a changes. Here, since the first starting memory is digested and becomes 0, the decorative special figure starting memory display (decorating special figure starting memory display corresponding to the first starting memory) of the standby memory display unit 83 becomes 0, The numerical value of the first start memory number display section 85a becomes "0". In addition, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 reservation indicator 53 changes, and the mode corresponding to "no special figure reservation" (the mode in which the LED lamps C0 and C1 are turned off (Fig. 4 ( d) see)
).

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game, the display device 41
In , the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variable display game is started, and in the batch display device 50, the variable display of the special figure 1 variable display game is started. Specifically, the variable display of the identification information (large symbols) starts in each of the left, middle, and right variable display areas of the first decoration game display section 81, and the left area of the second decoration game display section 82, The variable display of the identification information (small pattern) starts in each of the middle area and the right area. In addition, a variable display on the special figure 1 indicator 51, that is, a mode corresponding to "varying" (the state where the LED lamps A0, A2, A4, A6 are lit and the state where the LED lamps A1, A3, A5, A7 are lit alternately switching mode)
(see FIG. 4(b)) starts. Thus, in this embodiment, when the variable time starts, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game start, but the variation display does not start, and the first predetermined from the start of the variation time When the time elapses, the variable display of the special figure variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game is started.

During execution of the special figure 1 variable display game, when the game ball wins into the start winning opening 36 and the first start memory (first special figure reservation) is generated, as shown in FIG. , the number of decorative special figure start memory display of the standby memory display unit 83 changes, the numerical value of the first start memory number display unit 85a changes, and in the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 reservation display 53 The display mode of changes.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t1
1) As shown in FIGS. 71(d) and 72, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. Here, since the game result is a "jackpot", the display device 41 displays the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8.
The display mode of 2 is "333" which is one of the result modes of "jackpot",
In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of the "jackpot".

Also, here, since the game result is "big hit", the number of first starting memories is 1 and the number of second starting memories is 0, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. When the special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t12), the first special game state ends when the ending time of the jackpot ends, and the next special figure variation display game is the special figure. The variable time of one variable display game starts (t13). When the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game starts, as shown in FIG. While the display to shift to the part 84 is performed, the numerical value of the first start memory number display part 85a changes, and in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 reservation display 53 changes.

In this embodiment, the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 81 are hidden at the same time as the variable time is started. The 2 decoration game display section 82 reappears. That is, the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 become invisible at the same time as the special game state starts, and become visible at the same time as the change time starts. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, because the result of the previous special figure variation display game is "333" (Fig. 71 (
d)), as shown in FIGS. 71(e) and 72, "333" at the start of the variable time
The first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 appear in a state of statically displaying (t13). Since the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t13 to t14). , the display modes of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 do not change, and the state in which "333" is stopped is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 71 (d)) maintained in Then, since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t11 to t14), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time (t14), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases (t14 to t15) during this low-speed variation, and eventually, a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 71(f) is performed ( t15~
t16). After that, as shown in FIG. 71(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
16) During this low speed fluctuation, the fluctuation speed gradually decreases (t16 to t17), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t17 to t19).

As shown in FIG. 71(g), the identification information of the first decorative game display section 81 starts slow fluctuation in the order of the left fluctuation display area, the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area. , the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area are temporarily stopped in this order. In the temporary stop state, the identification information is displayed so as to sway, indicating that the vehicle is not completely stopped. As shown in FIG. 71(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t18).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 72 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 . Therefore, in FIG. 72, "t14" is the timing at which the identification information (left pattern) displayed in the left fluctuation display area starts to fluctuate at low speed, and the identification information (right pattern) displayed in the right fluctuation display area and the middle fluctuation display The timing at which the identification information (medium pattern) displayed in the area starts to fluctuate at low speed is between "t14" and "t15". Also, "t16" is the timing at which the left pattern ends high-speed fluctuation (starts low-speed fluctuation), and the timing at which the right and middle patterns end high-speed fluctuation (starts low-speed fluctuation) is "t16
” and “t17”. Further, "t17" is the timing at which the left symbol starts to temporarily stop, "t18" is the timing at which the right symbol starts to temporarily stop, and "t18" and "t19" are the timings at which the middle symbol starts to temporarily stop. is between

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t14 to t19), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t1
4 to t19), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 1 indicator 51) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t1
9) As shown in FIGS. 71(i) and 72, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost", and since there is no starting memory, the state shifts to the customer waiting state. In addition, if there is a starting memory, the next special figure fluctuation display game will start. Also, if the result is a big hit, it will be in the first special game state, and if it is a small hit, it will be in the second special game state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game progresses in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 71(i) is different among FIGS. 71(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
71(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "hit".

As shown in FIGS. 71 and 72, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "jackpot", the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next At the start of (t13 to t14), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "big hit", and the special figure 1 of the collective display device 50 The display mode of the display 51 is the result mode of the "jackpot".
Therefore, in this case, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82
The stop pattern (jackpot pattern) and the stop pattern (jackpot pattern) of the special figure 1 display device 51 are matched, and the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (special figure 1 display device 51 (variation display in the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82) and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next) will be started.

In addition, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "small hit", or when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "loss" Similarly, in the case of executing the variable display game, in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51 are aligned, the next Special figure 1 to be executed
The variation display of the variation display game and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next are started.

That is, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game, the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the special figure 1 display device 51
Variable display of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next in a state consistent with the stop pattern of
The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next is started.
Similarly, when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game, the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the special figure 2 display device 52
In a state consistent with the stop pattern of, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next,
The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next will be started.

73 and 74 show the case where the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result is "big hit". FIG. 73 shows an example of display on the display device 41 and the collective display device 50, and FIG. 74 shows an example of a timing chart. FIGS. 73(a) and (b) are
71(a) and 71(b) show the same state, so description thereof will be omitted.
When the game ball wins the normal variable winning device 37 during execution of the special figure 1 variable display game and the second start memory (second special figure reservation) is generated, as shown in FIG. 73 (c), the display device 41 In, the numerical value of the second starting memory number display portion 85b changes, and in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 pending display 54 changes.

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t2
1) As shown in FIGS. 73(d) and 74, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. Here, since the game result is a "jackpot", the display device 41 displays the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8.
The display mode of 2 is "333" which is one of the result modes of "jackpot",
In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 display device 51 is one of the result modes of "jackpot".

Also, here, since the game result is "big win", the number of first starting memories is 0 and the number of second starting memories is 1, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. The special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t22), and when the ending time for the big hit ends, the first special game state ends and the next special figure variation display game is the special figure. The variable time of the 2-variable display game starts (t23). When the variable time of the special figure 2 variation display game starts, the decorative special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed on the standby memory display unit 83 on the display device 41, as shown in FIG. 73(e). is displayed, then FIG.
As shown in (f), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed to move to the memory display unit 84 during execution, and the numerical value of the second start memory number display unit 85b changes. Also, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 pending display 54 changes.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, from the start of the variable time to the transition effect (effect to display to move the decorative special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 to the running memory display unit 84) to the start The time is when the special figure 1 fluctuation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game (
Figures 71 (a), (b), Figures 71 (e), (f), Figures 73 (a), (b)) and special figure 2
When the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the variation display game, and when the special figure 2 variation display game is performed next to the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 73(e) and (f)) , It is the same as when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game. In this embodiment, the time from the start of the variable time to the start of the transition effect is set to, for example, a second predetermined time that is shorter than the first predetermined time (the time from the start of the variable time to the start of the variable display).

Further, in the present embodiment, the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the first starting memory has a circular shape, and the decorative special figure starting memory display corresponding to the second starting memory has a hexagonal shape. That is, in the present embodiment, by differentiating the shape of the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory and the shape of the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory, the decoration special figure being displayed It notifies which of the first starting memory and the second starting memory the graphic starting memory display corresponds to. Of course, by changing the display mode (for example, color and size) other than the shape, the decoration special figure start memory display being displayed corresponds to either the first start memory or the second start memory. You can make it work.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, at the same time as the change time is started, the first decoration game is displayed. The display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 reappear. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "
333" (see FIG. 73(d)), as shown in FIGS. second
A decoration game display section 82 appears (t23). Since the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t23 to t24). , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "333" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display mode as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 73 (d)) maintained in Then, since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t21 to t24), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variation time (t24), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t24 to t25), and eventually a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 73(f) is performed ( t25~
t26). After that, as shown in FIG. 73(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
26), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t26 to t27), and eventually comes to a temporary stop state (t27 to t29). As shown in FIG. 73(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t28).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 74 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t24-t29), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t2
4 to t29), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 2 indicator 52) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 2 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t2
9) As shown in FIGS. 73(i) and 74, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost", and since there is no starting memory, the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game progresses in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 73(i) is different among FIGS. 73(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
73(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the second indicator 52 is one of the "win" result modes.

As shown in FIGS. 73 and 74, when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "jackpot", the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the special figure 2 of the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 2 fluctuation display game is displayed on the display 52, the previous special figure 2
If the result of the variation display game is "lost", as shown in FIGS. 73 and 74, at the start of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the collective display device 50 The display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 is the result mode of "missing".

Therefore, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "losing", the special figure 1 fluctuation display game whose result is "jackpot" is followed by the special figure 2 When the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (jackpot symbols) of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (loss symbols) of the special figure 2 display 52 are matched. In the state where it is not performed, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (variation display in the special figure 2 display device 52) and the decoration special figure variation display corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be performed next The variable display of the game (variable display in the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 is stopped displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 1 fluctuation display game whose result is "minor hit" is followed by the special figure Similarly, when the 2-variation display game is executed, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 8 are displayed.
2 stop pattern (small hit pattern) and the stop pattern (missing pattern) of the special figure 2 display device 52 do not match, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next, and the next The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed is started.

That is, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 1 fluctuation display game in which the result is "hit" is followed by the special figure 2 When executing the variable display game, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are displayed.
The stop pattern (hit pattern) and the stop pattern (lost pattern) of the special figure 2 display device 52 do not match, and the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next, and the next to be executed special figure 2
The variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game corresponding to the variable display game is started.

When the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 2 variation display is performed next to the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result is "hit". When executing the game, in order to start the variable display in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are aligned, , At the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), the result mode of "losing" is displayed on the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 (previous game result(
It is possible to display the result of "hit" before displaying the result of "losing", or it is possible to display the result of "losing" without displaying the result of the previous game. There is Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t23 to t24), it is necessary to display the result mode of "hit" on the special figure 2 display device 52.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are inconsistent, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 2 variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.

FIGS. 75 and 76 show the case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 2 variation display game with the result of "big hit". FIG. 75 is an example of display on the display device 41 and the batch display device 50, and FIG. 76 is an example of a timing chart.

Since the variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time elapses from the start of the variable time (t33 to t34) , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "333" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display form as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 75 (d)) maintained in Then, since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t31 to t34), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time (t34), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t34 to t35), and eventually, a high-speed variation (display of variation at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 75(f) is performed ( t35~
t36). After that, as shown in FIG. 75(g), the high-speed fluctuation ends and the low-speed fluctuation starts (t
36), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t36 to t37), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t37 to t39). As shown in FIG. 75(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t38).
In FIG. 76, for the sake of convenience, only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area is shown as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decorative game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t34 to t39), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t3
4 to t39), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 1 indicator 51) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t3
9) As shown in FIGS. 75(i) and 76, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost" and there is no starting memory, so the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 75(i) is different among FIGS. 75(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
75(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "hit".

As shown in FIGS. 75 and 76, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game whose result is "jackpot", the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the special figure 1 of the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 1 fluctuation display game is displayed on the display 51, the previous special figure 1
When the result of the variation display game is "lost", as shown in FIGS. 75 and 76, at the start of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the collective display device 50 The display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 is the result mode of "missing".

Therefore, when the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "losing", the special figure 1 is next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game in which the result is "jackpot". When the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (loss symbols) on the special figure 1 display device 51 are matched. In the state where it is not performed, the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (variation display on the special figure 1 display device 51) and the decoration special figure variation display corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be performed next The variable display of the game (variable display in the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 2 fluctuation display game whose result is "minor hit" is next to the special figure Similarly, when executing the 1-variation display game, the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 8 are displayed.
2 stop pattern (small winning pattern) and the stop pattern (missing pattern) of the special figure 1 display device 51 do not match, the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next, and the next The variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed is started.

That is, when the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 1 is next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game in which the result is "hit". When executing the variable display game, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are displayed.
In a state where the stop pattern (hit pattern) and the stop pattern (lost pattern) of the special figure 1 display device 51 do not match, the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next and the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next special figure 1
The variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game corresponding to the variable display game is started.

When the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "missing", the special figure 1 variation display is performed next to the special figure 2 variation display game in which the result is "hit". When executing the game, in order to start the variable display in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51 are aligned, , At the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), the result mode of "lost" is displayed on the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 (previous game result(
It is possible to display the result of "hit" before displaying the result of "losing", or it is possible to display the result of "losing" without displaying the result of the previous game. There is Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t33 to t34), it is necessary to display the result mode of "hit" on the special figure 1 display device 51.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 are inconsistent with the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.

FIGS. 77 and 78 show the case where the special figure 2 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game with the result of "normal jackpot".

Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. Here, since the game result is a "normal big win", the display mode of the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 in the display device 41 is one of the result modes of "normal big win". In the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "normal jackpot".

Also, here, since the game result is "big win", the number of first starting memories is 0 and the number of second starting memories is 1, when the stop display time ends, the special figure variation display game and the decoration are displayed. The special figure variation display game ends and the first special game state starts (t42), and when the ending time for the big hit ends, the first special game state ends and the next special figure variation display game is the special figure. The variable time of the 2-variable display game starts (t43). When the variable time of the special figure 2 variation display game starts, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory is displayed on the standby memory display unit 83 on the display device 41, as shown in FIG. 77(e). is displayed, then FIG.
As shown in (f), the decoration special figure start memory display at the left end of the standby memory display unit 83 is displayed to move to the memory display unit 84 during execution, and the numerical value of the second start memory number display unit 85b changes. Also, in the collective display device 50, the display mode of the special figure 2 pending display 54 changes.

As described above, in this embodiment, the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 are hidden at the same time as the special game state is started, and thereafter, at the same time as the variable time is started, the first decoration game is displayed. The display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 reappear. Then, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is first displayed in the reappearing first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 . Here, the result of the previous special figure fluctuation display game is "
222" (see FIG. 77(d)), as shown in FIGS. second
A decoration game display section 82 appears (t43). Since the variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game is started when the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time, the first predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable time (t43 to t44). , the first decorative game display section 81 and the second
The display mode of the decoration game display section 82 does not change, and the state in which "222" is stopped and displayed is maintained.

In addition, the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the same display mode as before the start of the special game state even during the special game state (see FIG. 77 (d)) maintained in Then, since the variation display of the special figure variation display game is also started when the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time, as shown in FIG. Until the start of the fluctuation display (t41 to t44), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 and the special figure 2 indicator 52 does not change.

When the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation time (t44), as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and the variation speed gradually increases during this low-speed variation (t44 to t45), and eventually a high-speed variation (variation display at a speed that is difficult to identify) as shown in FIG. 77(f) is performed ( t45~
t46). After that, as shown in FIG. 77(g), the high speed fluctuation ends and the low speed fluctuation starts (t
46), the fluctuation speed gradually decreases during this low speed fluctuation (t46 to t47), and eventually a temporary stop state is reached (t47 to t49). As shown in FIG. 77(h), when the same identification information temporarily stops in the left fluctuation display area and the right fluctuation display area, the reach state is entered and the reach fluctuation starts (t48).
For the sake of convenience, FIG. 78 shows only the timing of the identification information displayed in the leftward movement display area as the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display portion 81 .

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t44 to t49), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t4
4 to t49), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here, the special figure 2 indicator 52) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 2 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t4
9) As shown in FIGS. 77(i) and 78, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the collective display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost" and there is no starting memory, so the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 77(i) is different among FIGS. 77(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
77(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the second indicator 52 is one of the "win" result modes.

As shown in FIGS. 77 and 78, when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 variation display game whose result is "normal jackpot", the special figure 2 variation display to be executed next At the start of the game (t43 to t44), the display mode of the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "normal big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 2 variation display game is displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52, if the result of the previous special figure 2 variation display game is "probable variation big hit", Figure 77 and As shown in FIG. 78, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), the display mode of the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50 is the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is.

Therefore, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game When the FIG. 2 variation display game is executed, the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display 52 (variable jackpot symbols) ), the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next (variation display on the special figure 2 display device 52) and the decoration corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be performed next The variable display of the special figure variable display game (variable display in the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the result mode of "normal big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 variable display game whose result is "probability variable big hit" Figure 2
Similarly, when the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (probability variable jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) on the special figure 2 display 52 are displayed. In a state inconsistent, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next are started. The Rukoto.

That is, when the result mode of "first big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the result is a "second big hit" different from the first big hit When the special figure 2 variation display game is executed after the variation display game in FIG. Display 5
In a state where the stop pattern (first big hit pattern) of 2 is not consistent, the variation display of the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next and the decoration special figure corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game to be executed next The variable display of the variable display game is started.
Here, one of the "normal jackpot" and "probability variable jackpot" is set as "first jackpot",
Although the other is defined as the "second big hit", it is not limited to this. For example, "10R jackpot", "7
One of the "R jackpot" and "2R jackpot" is the "first jackpot" and the other one is the "second jackpot".
Similarly, in the case of "big hit", the variable display of the next game is started in a state in which the stop symbols do not match.

For example, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game When the FIG. 2 variation display game is executed, the variation display is started in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are matched. In order to do so, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 display the result mode of "variable probability big hit". Display (the result of the previous game (result form of "normal jackpot") may be displayed before displaying the result form of "probability variation jackpot"), or the result of "probability variation jackpot" may be displayed without displaying the previous game result. You may indicate the mode). Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 2 variable display game to be executed next (t43 to t44), it is necessary to display the result mode of "normal jackpot" on the special figure 2 display device 52.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are inconsistent, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 2 variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.
In addition, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the high probability state is reached depending on whether or not the game ball flows into the specific area (variable probability operating area). If game balls do not flow into the specific area, the high probability state does not occur, and even if the jackpot type is normal jackpot, if the game balls flow into the specific area, the high probability state is reached.

FIGS. 79 and 80 show the case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 2 variation display game whose result is "normal jackpot". FIG. 79 shows an example of display on the display device 41 and the batch display device 50, and FIG. 80 shows an example of a timing chart.

On the other hand, in the second decoration game display section 82 of the display device 41, high-speed variation is performed from the beginning to the end. That is, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t54 to t59), the display mode of the identification information (small symbols) on the second decoration game display section 82 is maintained in the high-speed variable display mode. Further, in the collective display device 50, from the start of the variable display to the end of the variable time (t5
4-t59), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 or the special figure 2 indicator 52 (here special figure 1 indicator 51) is maintained in a manner corresponding to "during fluctuation".

Then, when the variable time of the special figure 1 variable display game ends and the stop display time starts (t5
9) As shown in FIGS. 79(i) and 80, in the display device 41, the variable display ends and the game result is displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82. Along with this, the decoration special figure start memory display (decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory) of the running memory display unit 84 disappears. Further, in the batch display device 50, the variable display is finished and the game result is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51. FIG. After that, the special figure variation display game and the decorative special figure variation display game are terminated with the end of the stop display time. Here, the game result is "lost", and since there is no starting memory, the state shifts to the customer waiting state.

Of course, even when the game result is "hit", the game proceeds in the same way as when the game result is "lose". That is, when the game result is "hit", only FIG. 79(i) is different among FIGS. 79(a) to (i). Specifically, if the game result is "
79(i), the display mode of the first decoration game display section 81 and the second decoration game display section 82 becomes one of the result modes of "hit", and the special figure is displayed. The display mode of the 1 indicator 51 is one of the result modes of "hit".

As shown in FIGS. 79 and 80, when the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game whose result is "normal jackpot", the special figure 1 variation display to be executed next At the start of the game (t53 to t54), the display mode of the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82 of the display device 41 is the result mode of "normal big win". Also, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), the collective display device 50
Since the result of the previous special figure 1 variation display game is displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51, if the result of the previous special figure 1 variation display game is "probability variation big hit", Figure 79 and As shown in FIG. 80, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), the display mode of the special figure 1 indicator 51 of the collective display device 50 is the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is.

Therefore, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped on the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game When the FIG. 1 variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols on the special figure 1 display 51 (variable jackpot symbols) ), the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next (variation display on the special figure 1 display device 51) and the decoration corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next The variable display of the special figure variable display game (variable display in the first decorative game display section 81 and the second decorative game display section 82) is started.

In addition, when the result mode of "normal big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50, the result is "probability variable big hit" special next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game Figure 1
Similarly, when the variable display game is executed, the stop symbols (probability variable jackpot symbols) on the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols (normal jackpot symbols) on the special figure 1 display 51 are displayed. is not consistent, the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next and the variation display of the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next are started. The Rukoto.

That is, when the result mode of "first big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50, the result is a "second big hit" different from the first big hit. When the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the variation display game in FIG. Display 5
In a state where the 1 stop pattern (first jackpot pattern) does not match, the variation display of the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next and the decoration special figure corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game to be executed next The variable display of the variable display game is started.
Here, one of the "probable variable jackpot" and the "normal jackpot" is set as the "first jackpot",
Although the other is defined as the "second big hit", it is not limited to this. For example, "10R jackpot", "7
One of the "R jackpot" and "2R jackpot" is the "first jackpot" and the other one is the "second jackpot".
Similarly, in the case of "big hit", the variable display of the next game is started in a state in which the stop symbols do not match.

For example, when the result mode of "probability variation big hit" is stopped and displayed on the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50, the result is "normal big hit" special next to the special figure 2 fluctuation display game When executing the FIG. 1 variable display game, the variable display is started in a state in which the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51 are matched. In order to do so, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 display the result mode of "variable probability big hit". Display (the result of the previous game (the result of the "normal jackpot") may be displayed before displaying the result of the "variable jackpot"), or the result of the "variable jackpot" may be displayed without displaying the result of the previous game. You may indicate the mode). Alternatively, at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game to be executed next (t53 to t54), it is necessary to display the result mode of "normal jackpot" on the special figure 1 display device 51.

In this case, the player may have the illusion that the special figure fluctuation display game has been executed even though the special figure starting memory has not been digested. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even if the stop symbols of the first decoration game display portion 81 and the second decoration game display portion 82 are inconsistent with the stop symbols of the special figure 1 display device 51, the inconsistency In order to start the variable display of the special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game, it is possible to avoid erroneous recognition of the game situation, and the player can It is possible to smoothly progress the variable display game without giving a sense of discomfort.

Thus, in the present embodiment, at the start of the special figure 1 variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the first The stop symbols of the decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82, and the special figure 1 of the collective display device 50
When the stop pattern of the display device 51 is consistent, the special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game remain in the matching state. Start the display, and if it is not consistent, start the variable display of the special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the decorative special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game in the inconsistent state Therefore, the progress of the game can be smoothly performed.

Also, at the start of the special figure 2 variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second display device 41 2
When the stop pattern of the decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 are consistent, the special figure 2 fluctuation display game and the Start the variable display of the decorative special figure variable display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variable display game, and if it is not consistent, the special figure 2 variable display game and the special figure will remain in the inconsistent state Since the variable display of the decoration special figure variable display game corresponding to the 2 variable display game is started, the progress of the game can be smoothly performed.

Hereinafter, when the stop pattern of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 1 display device 51 are consistent at the start of the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, and the special figure The case where the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 are matched at the start of the 2-variation display game is simply referred to as "matching If there is
Also, when the stop pattern of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop pattern of the special figure 1 display device 51 are not consistent at the start of the special figure 1 variable display game, and the special figure 2
The case where the stop symbols of the first decoration game display unit 81 and the second decoration game display unit 82 and the stop symbols of the special figure 2 display device 52 do not match at the start of the variable display game is simply referred to as "not matching. case”.

In the above description, as an example of "if consistent", when the special figure 1 fluctuation display game is executed next to the special figure 1 fluctuation display game, and when the special figure 2 fluctuation display game is followed by the special figure 2 fluctuation Although the case where the display game is executed has been mentioned, the "matching case" is not limited to these cases. For example, when the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the result mode of "big hit", the special figure 1 variable display game with the result of "big hit" is followed by the special figure 2. When executing a variable display game, or when the result mode of "missing" is stopped on the special figure 2 display device 52 of the collective display device 50, the special figure 1 variable display in which the result is "missing" Also when executing the special figure 2 fluctuation display game next to the game, it is "matched".

Also, in the above description, as an example of "not matching", the result mode of "missing" is stopped on the special figure 2 indicator 52 of the collective display device 50, and the result is "hit When executing the special figure 2 variation display game next to the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 73 and 74), and the special figure 1 display device 51 of the collective display device 50 "missing" result mode is stopped and the result is "hit" Special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to special figure 2 variation display game (see FIGS. 75 and 76), and collective display device 50 Special figure 2 fluctuation display game next to special figure 1 fluctuation display game in which the result mode of "first big hit" is stopped and displayed on special figure 2 display device 52 and the result is "second big hit" (see FIGS. 77 and 78), and when the result mode of "first big hit" is stopped on the special figure 1 indicator 51 of the collective display device 50 and the result is "second big hit ”, the case where the special figure 1 variation display game is executed next to the special figure 2 variation display game (see FIGS. 79 and 80), but “if not consistent” is limited to these cases not. For example, the special figure 2 of the collective display device 50
When the special figure 1 variation display game is executed after the special figure 1 variation display game in which the result mode of "hit" is stopped and displayed on the display device 52 and the result is "loss", or when the special figure 2 variation display game is executed, or collective display Special figure 2 display 52 of the device 50 when the result mode of "either one of the big hit or the small hit" is stopped and the result is "either the other of the big hit or the small hit" Figure 1
Even when executing the special figure 2 variable display game next to the variable display game, "if not consistent"
becomes.

Here, the identification information (large pattern) of the first decoration game display section 81 starts slow fluctuation (starts fluctuation display) in the order of the left fluctuation display area, the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area, and then the left fluctuation display area. The high-speed fluctuation display area, the right fluctuation display area, and the middle fluctuation display area start high-speed fluctuation (the low-speed fluctuation ends) at the same time. End (start slow variation).
As shown in FIGS. 72, 74, 76, 78, and 80, the effect control device 300 is the first
In order to stop display the desired result mode (here, "424") on the decoration game display unit 81,
The identification information (large pattern) of the first decorative game display section 81 is set at the start of the high-speed fluctuation (t15, t25).
, t35, t45, t55) and at the end of the high-speed fluctuation (t16, t26, t36, t46,
t56).

For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 72, 74, and 76, the result of the previous special figure variation display game is "
333”, the variable display starting from “333” starts (t14, t24, t3
4). Then, the effect control device 300, at the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation (t15, t25, t
35), a variable display starting with "333" is displayed in a predetermined fixed result mode (e.g. "
123”) is executed to replace with variable display. Also, at the end of the high-speed fluctuation of the large symbols (t16, t26, t36), the fluctuation display starting from the fixed result mode,
Second replacement to replace with a variable display that starts with the result mode calculated backward based on the game result, the remaining variable time (t16-t19, t26-t29, t36-t39), and the variable pattern (whether or not the reach state occurs, etc.) Execute the process.

In addition, in the examples shown in FIGS. 78 and 80, since the result of the last special figure variation display game is "222", the variation display starting from "222" is started (t44, t54). Then, the effect control device 300 changes the variable display starting from "222" to the variable display starting from a predetermined fixed result mode (for example, "123") at the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation (t45, t55). A first replacement process is performed to replace the . Also, at the end of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern (t46, t
56), the game result and the remaining variable time (t46
~ t49, t56 ~ t59) and fluctuation patterns (whether or not a reach state has occurred, etc.) and the like, and a second replacement process is executed to replace with the variable display starting from the result mode calculated backward.
Execution of these replacement processes is reserved, for example, in the variable command process (step C236 in FIG. 41).

In order to stop display a desired result mode on the first decorative game display section 81, it is also possible to replace the large symbols during low speed fluctuation or temporary stop display. However, in that case, the player may notice that the large pattern has been replaced, and the interest in the game may be reduced. On the other hand, by replacing the large symbols during high-speed fluctuation as in the present embodiment, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice that the large symbols have been replaced.

It should be noted that the timing for replacing the large symbols can be appropriately changed as long as the large symbols are changing at high speed.
Also, the number of times the large pattern is replaced is not limited to two times and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the number of times that the large pattern is replaced may be one time.
It is better to execute only replacement processing. Specifically, for example, at the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern (or after the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern and before the end of the high-speed fluctuation, the large pattern ), the variable display starting from the result mode of the previous special figure variable display game is replaced with the variable display starting from the result mode calculated backward based on the game result etc. Second replacement It is better to process. Moreover, when the number of times of replacing the large pattern is plural times, it is preferable that the last replacement process is the second replacement process.

Further, in the first decorative game display section 81, the reach variation may be performed directly from the high speed variation without going through the low speed variation instead of performing the reach variation from the high speed variation via the low speed variation. If the low-speed variation is not passed, for example, when the high-speed variation of the large symbols ends, the large symbols (for example, the left symbol and the right symbol) that are temporarily stopped and displayed on the first decoration game display section 81 are displayed in a desired reach mode (desired You may perform a replacement process to replace with a reach pattern).

On the other hand, the identification information (small symbols) of the second decorative game display section 82 starts to fluctuate at high speed (starts fluctuating display) at the same time in the left area, the right area, and the middle area. At the same time as the region, the high-speed fluctuation ends (finishes the fluctuation display).
As shown in FIGS. 72, 74, 76, 78, and 80, the effect control device 300 is the second
In order to stop display the desired result mode (here, "424") on the decoration game display unit 82,
The identification information (small symbols) of the second decorative game display section 82 is displayed at the end of the high-speed fluctuation (t19, t29).
, t39, t49, t59). Specifically, at the end of the high-speed fluctuation of small symbols,
It is configured to perform a third replacement process of replacing the small symbols stopped and displayed on the second decoration game display section 82 with a desired result mode.
Execution of the third replacement process is reserved, for example, in the variable command process (step C236 in FIG. 41).

It should be noted that the timing of replacing the small symbols can be appropriately changed as long as the small symbols are changing at high speed. In the case of replacing the small symbols at a timing other than the end of the high-speed variation of the small symbols, a first replacement process may be executed to replace the variable display starting from a predetermined fixed result mode. A second replacement process may be executed to replace the variable display with a variable display starting from the result mode calculated backward based on the remaining variable time, the variable pattern, and the like.
When executing the second replacement process for replacing the small symbols, the third replacement process need not be performed when the high-speed fluctuation of the small symbols ends.
Further, when executing the first replacement process for replacing the small symbols, either the second replacement process for replacing the small symbols is performed after the first replacement processing, or the small symbols are replaced at high speed. It is preferable to execute the third replacement process at the end of the fluctuation.

Also, the number of times that the small pattern is replaced may be one time, or may be multiple times. When the number of times of replacing the small symbols is one, it is preferable to perform only the second replacement process without performing the first replacement process, or to perform only the third replacement process. Further, when the number of times of replacing the small symbols is plural times, it is preferable that the last replacement process is the second replacement process or the third replacement process.

In this embodiment, the time from the start of the variable time to the start of the variable display is "matched" (eg, t13 to t14) and "not matched" (eg, t23 to t
24, t33-t34, t43-t44, t53-t54).
In addition, the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern is "matched" (eg, t14 to t15) and "not matched" (eg, t24 to t25,
t34-t35, t44-t45, t54-t55) are the same.
In addition, the time from the start of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern to the end of the high-speed fluctuation of the large pattern is "matched" (eg, t15 to t16) and "not matched" (eg, t25 to t16).
t26, t35-t36, t45-t46, t55-t56).

In addition, the time from the start of the large pattern low speed fluctuation to the end of the large pattern low speed fluctuation is "matched" (for example, t16 to t17) and "not matched" (for example, t26 to
t27, t36-t37, t46-t47, t56-t57).
In addition, the time from the start of the temporary stop display of the large pattern to the start of the reach fluctuation of the large pattern is "matched" (eg, t17 to t18) and "not matched" (eg, t2
7 to t28, t37 to t38, t47 to t48, t57 to t58).
In addition, the time from the start of the reach fluctuation of the large pattern to the end of the fluctuation time is "matched" (eg, t18 to t19) and "not matched" (eg, t28 to t29
, t38-t39, t48-t49, t58-t59).

Thus, the time from the start of the fluctuation time to the start of the fluctuation display, the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation, and the time from the start of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation to the end of the large pattern high-speed fluctuation the time from the start of the large pattern low speed fluctuation to the end of the large pattern low speed fluctuation, the time from the start of the large pattern temporary stop display to the start of the large pattern reach fluctuation, and the large pattern reach By making each time from the start of the fluctuation to the end of the fluctuation time the same for "if consistent" and "if not consistent", start the fluctuation display in the inconsistent state The variation time in the case where the variable display is started and the variation time in the case where the variable display is started in the matching state can be the same time. That is, there is no need to determine whether or not there is a match when determining the fluctuation time (variation pattern).
It should be noted that at least one of these times may be different between "when matching" and "when not matching". If they are made different, it is necessary to determine whether or not they match when determining the variation time (variation pattern), so the processing load increases accordingly.

From the above, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment executes a variable display game (special figure variable display game) that variably displays the identification information based on the establishment of the starting condition, and the result mode of the variable display game is a special result. A gaming machine that generates a special game state when the mode is set, and is a first variable display game based on satisfaction of a first start condition (a prize in a start winning port 36) among the start conditions as a variable display game. First variable display means (special figure 1 display device 51) capable of displaying (special figure 1 variation display game), and establishment of the second start condition among the start conditions as a variation display game (to normal variation winning device 37 Control the second variable display means (special figure 2 display device 52) capable of displaying the second variable display game (special figure 2 variable display game) based on the winning), the first variable display means and the second variable display means Corresponding to the game control means (game control device 100) and the variable display game, the identification pattern (
Effect display means capable of displaying a first decoration game for variably displaying a large pattern) and a second decoration game for variably displaying an identification pattern (small pattern) corresponding to the variable display game and smaller than the first decoration game. (Display device 41) and production control means (production control device 300) that controls the production display means
and, when executing the second variable display game after the first variable display game, the second variable display game
At the start of the variable display game, the result mode statically displayed on the second variable display means and the result mode of the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) statically displayed on the effect display means are different. There are cases where they do not match, and in that case, the game control means starts variable display of the identification information in the second variable display game without performing processing to make these result modes match. The effect control means is configured to start variable display of identification symbols in the first decorative game (and/or second decorative game) corresponding to the second variable display game (FIGS. 73 and 77). reference).

Therefore, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the stop pattern of the effect display means (display device 41),
When the stop symbol of the second variable display means (special figure 2 display device 52) does not match, it corresponds to the second variable display game and the second variable display game in the state of not matching. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) is started, the game can be progressed smoothly and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

The first variation display game may be the special figure 2 variation display game, and the second variation display game may be the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 75 and 79).
In this case, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the stop pattern of the effect display means (display device 41), When the stop symbol of the second variable display means (special figure 1 display device 51) does not match, the second variable display game and the second variable display game are performed in the mismatched state. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) is started, the game can be progressed smoothly and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

In addition, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, if the match is not made, the result mode of the first variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) becomes a special result mode ("hit" result mode). At the end of the special game state that occurred, the result mode that is stopped and displayed on the second variable display means (special figure 2 display device 52) is a result mode other than the special result mode ("lost" result mode) And, the number of starting memories (first starting memory) that is the right to execute the first fluctuation display game (special figure 1 fluctuation display game) is 0, and the second fluctuation display game (special figure 2 fluctuation display game) The number of starting memory (second starting memory) to be the execution right is one or more, in which case the game control means (game control device 100), after the end of the special game state, the second From a state in which result modes other than the special result mode are stopped and displayed in the second variable display means, the variable display of the identification information in the second variable display game is started, and the effect control means (effect control device 300)
After the end of the special game state, the variable display starting from the special result mode is started as the variable display of the identification symbols in the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) corresponding to the second variable display game. (See FIGS. 73 and 77).

By configuring in this way, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 2 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the effect display means (display device 41)
is a winning pattern, and the stopped pattern of the second variation display means (special figure 2 display device 52) is a lost pattern, the second variation display game and the second variation display remain in that state. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) corresponding to the game can be started, the game can be smoothly progressed and the interest of the game can be enhanced. .

The first variation display game may be the special figure 2 variation display game, and the second variation display game may be the special figure 1 variation display game (see FIGS. 75 and 79).
In this case, at the start of the second variation display game (between the start of the variation time of the special figure 1 variation display game and the start of the variation display), the stop pattern of the effect display means (display device 41) hits. pattern, and when the stop pattern of the second variable display means (special figure 1 display device 51) is a lost pattern, the second variable display game and the second variable display game corresponding to the second variable display game remain in that state. Since the variable display of the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) can be started, the game can be smoothly progressed, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

In addition, the special result mode at the time when the special game state in which the result mode of the first variable display game is changed to the special result mode is not limited to the "winning" result mode. That is, the special result mode may be only the result mode of the "big win" among the result modes of the "hit", or only the result mode of the "minor win" among the result modes of the "hit". It may be only the result mode of "probability variable big win" among the result modes of "hit", or only the result mode of "normal jackpot" among the result modes of "hit". Alternatively, it may be only the result mode of "10R jackpot" among the result modes of "hit", or the result mode of "hit" may be "
It may be only the result mode of "7R hit", or "2R hit" among the result modes of "hit".
It may be only the result mode of.

In this embodiment, the special figure 2 variation display game is preferentially executed over the special figure 1 variation display game. That is, the game control means (game control device 300), in a state in which the starting memory as the execution right of the special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the start memory as the execution right of the special figure 2 fluctuation display game are stored, It is configured to execute the 2-variation display game with priority over the special figure 1-variation display game.

Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to execute the special figure 2 variation display game next to the special figure 1 variation display game, the special game that occurred with the result mode of the special figure 1 variation display game as a special result mode At the end of the state, if the second starting memory number is 1 or greater, the first starting memory number is 0.
It does not have to be 1 (that is, the number of first starting memories may be 1 or more).
That is, in a gaming machine in which the special figure 2 variation display game is executed with priority over the special figure 1 variation display game, the first variation display game is the special figure 1 variation display game, and the second variation display game is the special figure 2 variation. In order to execute the second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) next to the first variation display game (special figure 1 variation display game) when making it a display game, the first variation display game ( At the end of the special game state that occurred when the result mode of the special figure 1 variable display game) became the special result mode, the "starting memory that becomes the right to execute the second variable display game (special figure 2 variable display game) (
2nd starting memory) is 1 or more", but "starting memory (first starting memory) that is the right to execute the first variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) number is 0
It is not necessary to meet the condition of being an individual.

After the end of the special game state, the game control means changes the display of the identification information in the second variable display game from a state in which the second variable display means stops displaying the result modes other than the special result mode. and start
After the end of the special game state, the effect control means starts from the special result mode as the variable display of the identification symbols in the first decoration game (and/or the second decoration game) corresponding to the second variation display game. It can be configured to initiate a floating display.

With this configuration, at the start of the second variable display game (between the start of the variable time and the start of the variable display), the stop symbol on the effect display means (display device 41) is the winning symbol. If the stopped symbol on the second variable display means is a lost symbol, the second variable display game and the first decorative game (and/or the second decorative game) corresponding to the second variable display game remain in that state. Since the variable display of the game can be started, the game can be smoothly progressed, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect control means (the effect control device 300) changes the display mode of the identification pattern to the A low-speed fluctuation display mode in which the identification symbols can be identified and a high-speed fluctuation display mode in which the identification symbols are difficult to identify, and the identification symbol fluctuation display in the first decoration game corresponding to the second fluctuation display game is possible. The time from the start to the start of the low-speed variation display mode through the high-speed variation display mode is the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variation display means at the start of the second variation display game and the effect display. If the result mode of the first decoration game stopped and displayed on the means matches (t14 to t16), and if it does not match (t24 to t26, t3
4 to t36, t44 to t46, and t54 to 56).
By configuring in this way, the fluctuation time can be set to the same time when the variable display is started in an inconsistent state and when the variable display is started in a consistent state. Compared to the configuration in which the time from the start of the fluctuation display of the information (large pattern) to the start of the low speed fluctuation through the high speed fluctuation is different between the "matching case" and the "mismatching case". , the processing load can be reduced.

In addition, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect control means (effect control device 300) changes the display mode of the identification pattern to the The identification pattern can be converted into a high-speed variation display mode that is difficult to identify, and after the start of the variation display of the identification symbol in the second decoration game corresponding to the second variation display game, the variation display is performed through the high-speed variation display mode. Time until completion (t14-t19, t24-t29, t
34 to t39, t44 to t49, and t54 to 59), at the start of the second variable display game, the result mode stopped and displayed on the second variable display means, and the second variable display means stopped and displayed on the effect display means. The result mode of the decoration game is configured to be the same between when (t14 to t19) and when not matching (t24 to t29, t34 to t39, t44 to t49, t54 to 59). be able to.
By configuring in this way, the fluctuation time can be set to the same time when the variable display is started in an inconsistent state and when the variable display is started in a consistent state. Compared to a configuration in which the time from the start of the variable display of information (small symbols) to the stop of the variable display through high-speed fluctuation is different between "matching" and "not matching". , the processing load can be reduced.

In this embodiment, both the first decoration game and the second decoration game are displayed, but only one of the first decoration game and the second decoration game may be displayed. Specifically, for example, there is a mode in which the first decoration game and the second decoration game are displayed, a mode in which the first decoration game is displayed but the second decoration game is not displayed, and a mode in which the second decoration game is displayed and the first decoration game is displayed. There may be a mode in which decoration games are not displayed.

Also, the gaming machine 10 may be a gaming machine capable of simultaneously executing the special figure 1 variation display game and the special figure 2 variation display game.
For example, a gaming machine capable of simultaneously executing a special figure 1 variation display game and a special figure 2 variation display game, and a decoration special figure corresponding to the main variation (special figure variation display game determined to be main in each game state) In a gaming machine that displays only a variable display game and does not display a decorative special variable display game that corresponds to an irregular variation (a special variable display game that is determined not to be the main variation in each gaming state), the main variation is switched. At the start of the first special figure variation display game, there is a case where the stop design of the display device 41 and the stop design of the batch display device 50 do not match.

It differs from the gaming machine 10 (see FIG. 3) of the embodiment.

FIG. 82 is a block diagram of the control system of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 82, the game control device 100 of the present embodiment has an interface chip (proximity I/F) 121 connected to the starting port 3 switch 97a in the second starting winning port 97. It differs from the game control device 100 (see FIG. 5) of one embodiment.

FIG. 83 shows an example of distribution ratios in this embodiment.
In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the same random number as used for the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is used to perform the small hit determination (small hit lottery) and the support hit determination (support hit lottery). i.e.
In this embodiment, a big hit determination, a small hit determination, and a support hit determination are performed using a big hit random number (
FIG. 83 (a) reference), and when the determination result is a big hit, the stop symbol information corresponding to the special symbol random number is acquired (see FIG. 83 (b)), and when the determination result is a small hit In, stop design information corresponding to the special design random number is acquired (see FIG. 83 (c)), and if the determination result is a hit, the stop design information corresponding to the special design random number is acquired ( (see FIG. 83(d)), if the determination result is neither, the lost stop symbol information is acquired. In addition, the support hit may be derived only when the low probability state (normal game state ST24, third specific game state ST23), or the state without general electric support (normal game state ST24, first The support hit may be derived only in the case of the specific game state ST21), or may be derived only in the case of the normal game state ST24 (low probability no support).

[Game state transition diagram (game flow)]
Next, the transition (transition) of the game state by the game control of the game control device 100 will be described. FIG. 84 is a game state transition diagram (game flow) showing the transition of the game state in this embodiment.
It is a figure which illustrates.
The game state includes a normal game state ST24, a first specific game state ST21, a second specific game state ST22, and a third specific game state ST23. In addition to this, as a game state, the first special result (
There are a first special game state (big hit game state) based on the big hit and a second special game state (small hit game state) based on the second special result (small hit), but they are omitted here.

In each game state, the first special result (jackpot) to be controlled by the game control device 100
is derived, the production mode that determines the production mode of the game controlled by the production control device 300, the main start area that is the start area that should be mainly aimed in the game state, the special figure fluctuation display game that should be mainly executed The main variation special figure, which is the type of, and the shooting direction of the game ball are defined.

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to aim to win a prize in the first starting prize-winning port 36 by hitting to the left, and to aim to win a prize in the normal variable prize-winning device 37 or the second starting prize-winning port 97 by hitting to the right. It is possible. In other words, it is possible to select the target starting area according to the player's will.
Also, in the present embodiment, the small hit probability, which is the probability of becoming a small hit (second special result),
Special figure 2 is higher than special figure 1.

The normal game state ST24 is a state where the special figure probability is low probability, and there is no general electric support that improves the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning. It is in a state where there is no time to shorten the variation time of the figure variation display game. Also, the production mode that defines the production mode is the normal mode. The main variation special figure is the special figure 1 variation display game, the main starting area is the first start winning opening 36, and the shooting direction is left-handed in order to aim at this first starting winning opening 36. That is, the special figure 1 variation display game is the main variation, and the special figure 2
It is designed to make fluctuation display games irregular fluctuations. This normal game state ST
24, a very long variable time is set for the special figure 2 variable display game. As a result, the execution of the special figure 2 variation display game becomes inefficient in terms of time, and the player is prevented from selecting the execution of the special figure 2 variation display game aiming at obtaining a small hit in the normal game state ST24. .

The first specific game state ST21 is a state in which the special figure probability is high probability, and there is no general electric support for improving the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning, but special figure variable display. There is a time saving to shorten the fluctuation time of the game and the normal figure fluctuation display game. also,
A performance mode that defines a performance mode is a small hit RUSH. The main variation special figure is a special figure 2 variation display game, the main starting area is the second start winning opening 97, and the shooting direction is right-handed in order to aim at this second starting winning opening 97. That is, it is designed so that the special figure 2 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 1 variation display game is the irregular variation.

In this first specific game state ST21, the variable time of the special figure 2 variation display game is shortened compared to the case of the normal game state ST24, and the player hits to the right and aims at the second start winning opening 97, thereby achieving a special figure. Playing the two-variation display game is more advantageous for the player. Since the special figure 2 variation display game has a higher probability of a small win than the special figure 1 variation display game, and the probability of winning a small win is higher than that of a big win, the small win is high in the first specific game state ST21. It occurs with frequency and the number of balls held by the player increases. Since small hits occur with high frequency in this way, the effect mode is a mode called a small hit RUSH.

The second specific game state ST22 is a state in which the special figure probability is high, and there is a general electric support that improves the opening time per unit time of the normal variable winning device 37 to facilitate winning. If there is general electricity support, there is also a time saving to shorten the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display game and the general figure fluctuation display game. A performance mode that defines a performance mode is a chance mode. In addition, the main variation special figure is the special figure 1 variation display game, the main starting area is the normal variation winning device 37, and the shooting direction is right-handed in order to aim at this normal variation winning device 37. That is, it is designed so that the special figure 1 variation display game is the main variation and the special figure 2 variation display game is the irregular variation. In this second specific game state ST22, the variable time of the special figure 1 variation display game becomes shorter than in the case of the normal game state ST24. It is advantageous for the player to play the variable display game.
The third specific game state ST23 is the same as the second specific game state ST22 except that the special figure probability is a low probability state.

Among these four game states, the normal game state ST24 is the most disadvantageous state for the player. The third specific game state ST23 is a state more advantageous for the player than the normal game state ST24 because of the general power support, and the second specific game state ST22 is a high probability state, so the normal game state ST24 and the third game state ST22 This state is more advantageous for the player than the specific game state ST23. The first specific game state ST21 is a high-probability state, and since it is a state in which the number of balls held by the player increases due to the frequent occurrence of small hits, the normal game state ST24 and the second specific game state ST2
This state is more advantageous for the player than ST2 or the third specific game state ST23.
In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 83(b), there are two types of jackpots in the special figure 1 variation display game, the probability variable A jackpot and the normal jackpot. There are three types of jackpots: probability variable A jackpot, probability variable B jackpot, and normal jackpot.

The transition of the game state is the end of the first special game state based on the derivation of the first special result (jackpot),
It is done by deriving per support and digesting the prescribed number of games. Therefore, the game state does not shift due to the end of the second special game state based on the derivation of the second special result (minor win).
Basically, when the special result that triggered the start of the special game state is a normal jackpot with a low probability state after the end of the special game state, the process shifts to a third specific game state ST23, and the special game state. Of the variable probability big hits to be in a high probability state after the end of the game state, if it is a variable probability A big hit, it shifts to a second specific game state ST22, and if it is a probability variable B big hit, it shifts to a first specific game state ST21. .

Specifically, when the probability variation A jackpot is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game and becomes a special game state, and there is V passage in the special game state (the specific area of the first special variation winning device 38 (
When the game ball flows into the variable probability operating region and is detected by the specific region switch 38d), the game moves to the second specific game state ST22 after the end of the special game state. In addition, as a result of the special figure variation display game, a probability variable B jackpot is derived and becomes a special game state, and in the special game state V
In the case of passing (when the game ball flows into the specific area (probability variable operation area) of the first special variable winning device 38 and is detected by the specific area switch 38d), after the end of the special game state, the first
It shifts to specific game state ST21. Also, as a result of the special figure variation display game, a normal jackpot is derived and becomes a special game state, and if there is no V passage in the special game state does not flow), after the end of the special game state, the transition to the third specific game state ST23. Since the second specific game state ST22 and the third specific game state ST23 are set to the same chance mode as the performance mode, it is difficult for the player to grasp the shift.

In addition, the number of ST times (for example, 20
00 times), and when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game from the end of the special game state in the first specific game state ST21 reaches the ST number of times, the game is shifted to the normal game state ST24. Also good.
Also, the number of ST times (for example, 20
00 times), and when the number of executions of the special figure variation display game from the end of the special game state in the second specific game state ST22 reaches the ST number, the normal game state ST24 (or the third specific game It is also possible to shift to state ST23).
Also, in FIG. 84, the transition of the game state when a big hit is derived as a result of irregular variation is omitted. Specifically, although illustration is omitted in FIG. 84, for example, in the normal game state ST24, the second specific game state ST22, and the third specific game state ST23, as a result of irregular fluctuation (special figure 2 fluctuation display game) A variable probability B big hit is derived and becomes a special game state, and if there is V passage in the special game state (a game ball flows into the specific area (variable probability operation area) of the first special variable winning device 38 and the specific area switch 38d If it is detected), after the end of the special game state, the transition to the first specific game state ST21.

When the normal jackpot is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST23, it is possible to stay in the third specific game state ST23 until the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times. When the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit in the specific game state ST23, the game shifts to a normal game state ST24. That is, in this embodiment, the normal jackpot support count is set to "100". It should be noted that the normal jackpot support count is not limited to "100 times" and can be changed as appropriate.

Also, when the probability variable jackpot A is derived and the state shifts to the second specific game state ST22, 10
It is possible to stay in the second specified game state ST22 until the special figure variation display game is executed 00 times, and the special figure is played 1000 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit in the second specified game state ST22. When the variable display game is executed, the game moves to the first specific game state ST21. That is, in this embodiment, the number of support times of the probability variable A jackpot is "1000 times"
is set to In addition, the number of support times for the probability A jackpot is not limited to "1000 times",
It can be changed as appropriate, for example, it may be "until the next big hit or support hit".

Further, as described above, the transition of the game state is also performed by derivation of the support win.
Specifically, in the normal game state ST24 and the third specific game state ST23, when the support hit is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game, the third specific game state after the end of the special figure variation display game Move to ST23. In addition, in the first specific game state ST21 and the second specific game state ST22, when the support hit is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game, the second specific game state ST22 after the end of the special figure variation display game. Move to That is, the transition (transition) of the game state when the probability variable jackpot or normal jackpot is derived passes through the special game state, whereas the transition (transition) of the game state when the support hit is derived
does not go through the special game state. Therefore, for example, in the first specific game state ST21 (no support with a high probability), if the support hit is derived as a result of the special figure variation display game, after the special figure variation display game ends, the special game state is changed. Second specific game state S without going through
You can shift to T22 (with high probability support).

When the support hit A out of the support hits is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22), the third specific game is performed until the special figure variation display game is executed 50 times. It is possible to stay in the game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22), and in the third specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22) 50 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit. When the special figure fluctuation display game is executed,
It shifts to the normal game state ST24 (or the first specific game state ST21). That is, in the present embodiment, the number of times of support per support A is set to "50 times". It should be noted that the number of times of support per support A is not limited to "50 times", and can be changed as appropriate.

In addition, when the support hit B out of the support hits is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22), the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times. It is possible to stay in the 3 specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22), and the third specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST2
In 2), when the special figure variation display game is executed 100 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit, the game shifts to the normal game state ST24 (or the first specific game state ST21). That is, in this embodiment, the number of times of support per support B is set to "100 times". It should be noted that the number of times of support per support B is not limited to "100 times", and can be changed as appropriate.

In addition, when the support hit C out of the support hits is derived and the state shifts to the third specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22), the special figure variation display game is executed 1000 times. It is possible to stay in the 3 specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST22), and the third specific game state ST23 (or the second specific game state ST
In 22), when the special figure variation display game is executed 1000 times without deriving a big hit or a support hit, the game shifts to the normal game state ST24 (or the first specific game state ST21). That is, in this embodiment, the number of times of support per support C is set to "1000 times". Note that the number of times of support per support C is not limited to "1000 times", and can be changed as appropriate.

In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the general electricity support), that is, the support hit is derived in the second specific game state ST22 and the third specific game state ST23. If so, the number of times of support is reset and the number of times of support corresponding to the new support win is set again (see FIG. 10). Further, in the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the presentation mode is changed according to the change in the number of remaining support. It should be noted that it is not necessary to change the presentation mode in response to the change in the number of remaining support times. Also, only the rank-up of the production mode may be permitted, and the switching of the production mode such as the rank-down may not be performed.

Alternatively, when the support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the general electric support), the support count corresponding to the new support hit may be added to the remaining support count (Fig. 11 (a) )reference). In this case, the maximum number of support times (for example, 1000
times), and if the sum of the remaining number of support times and the number of support times corresponding to the new support hit exceeds the upper limit number of times, the remaining number of support times may be changed to the upper limit number of times. Also, in this case, the rendering mode may or may not be changed in accordance with the change in the remaining support count. Also, only the rank-up of the production mode may be permitted, and the switching of the production mode such as the rank-down may not be performed.

Alternatively, when the support hit is derived during the chance mode (during the general electric support), the remaining support count and the support count corresponding to the new support hit are compared, and the larger one (advantageous for the player) method) may be employed (FIG. 11(b)). In this case,
The presentation mode may or may not be changed in accordance with the change in the number of remaining support times. Also, only the rank-up of the production mode may be permitted, and the switching of the production mode such as the rank-down may not be performed. Furthermore, when the number of times of support corresponding to the new support win is not adopted, the support win symbol may be displayed on the display device 41 as the game result, or the losing symbol may be displayed instead of the support win symbol as the game result. It may be displayed on the display device 41 .

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a game is played by shooting game balls (pachinko balls) toward the game area 32 from a ball shooting device (not shown). The game ball that is launched is
It flows down the game area 32 while changing the rolling direction by direction changing members such as obstacle nails and windmills arranged at various places in the game area 32, and the normal figure start gate 34, the general winning opening 35, and the first starting winning opening 36. , normal variable winning device 37, second start winning port 97, first special variable winning device 38 or second
Winning the special variable winning device 39 or flowing into the out port 30 a and discharged from the game area 32 . When the game ball wins the general winning port 35, the first starting winning port 36, the normal variable winning device 37, the second starting winning port 97, the first special variable winning device 38 or the second special variable winning device 39, the player wins. The number of prize balls corresponding to the type of the winning opening is discharged to the upper tray 21 or the lower tray 23 of the glass frame 15 from the payout unit controlled by the payout control device 200 (see FIG. 82).

In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the player adjusts the shooting force and shoots the game ball to the left side game area (so-called left-handed hitting), so that the first start winning opening 36 and the first starting winning opening 36 You can aim to win a prize to the general winning opening 35 arranged on the left side of the normal figure start gate 34 by firing a game ball to the right side game area (so-called right hitting), and the normal figure start gate 34 General winning prize port 35, normal variable winning device 37, second start winning port 97, first special variable winning device 38, second special variable winning device 39, second special variable winning device 39 Players can aim to win a prize through the general prize winning opening 35 arranged on the left side.

In the normal pattern starting gate 34, a gate switch 34a composed of a non-contact type switch or the like for detecting a game ball that has passed through the normal pattern starting gate 34 is provided.
When the game ball hit inside passes through the normal figure starting gate 34, it is detected by the gate switch 34a. In the CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100, based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the gate switch 34a provided in the normal pattern start gate 34, the normal pattern start memory number is the upper limit number (for example, 4 ), add the normal figure start memory number (+1
) to store one normal map start memory in the RAM 111C. The number of memory of this general-purpose starting winning prize is displayed on the general-purpose holding indicator of the collective display device 50. - 特許庁In addition, the normal pattern start memory stores a hit judgment random value (hit random value) for determining the result of the normal pattern variation display game extracted based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the gate switch 34a. It is designed to be

Then, when there is a normal pattern start memory and the normal pattern fluctuation display game can be started, that is, when the normal pattern fluctuation display game is not being executed, the normal pattern fluctuation display game wins and the normal fluctuation prize winning device 37 is converted to the open state. If it is not in a winning state, the random value for winning determination stored in the first stored normal pattern start memory is compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B to determine the hit or miss of the normal pattern fluctuation display game. Then, processing for starting the normal pattern fluctuation display game is performed. When the hit determination random number matches the determination value, the normal pattern variation display game becomes a hit and a specific result mode (normal pattern specific result) is derived.

In addition, the game control device 100, as a process of executing the normal pattern fluctuation display game, the normal pattern display unit provided in the collective display device 50, predetermined multiple lighting patterns over a predetermined fluctuation time is determined in advance. After performing the normal pattern fluctuation display that is repeatedly displayed in the order shown, the process of displaying the normal pattern fluctuation display game that stops and displays the lighting pattern (result mode) according to the result is performed. In addition, the normal figure display unit of the collective display device 50 is configured by the display device 41, and for example, numbers, symbols, character patterns, etc. are used as the normal identification information, and after this is displayed variably for a predetermined time, it is stopped and displayed to display the result. It may be configured to display.

When the result of the normal pattern variation display game is hit, the normal pattern display unit of the collective display device 50 stops displaying the lighting pattern as a special result mode, and operates the general electric solenoid 37c,
Control is performed to open the movable member of the normal variable winning device 37 for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds or 1.7 seconds). That is, the game control device 100 serves as conversion control execution means for performing conversion control of the conversion member (movable member). In addition, when the result of the normal pattern variation display game is a loss, control is performed to display a lighting pattern as a result mode of the result on the general pattern display section of the collective display device 50 .

In addition, the winning balls to the first start winning opening 36, the winning balls to the normal variable winning device 37, and the winning balls to the second starting winning opening 97 are respectively provided inside the starting opening 1 switch 36a and the starting opening 2.
It is detected by switch 37a and start port 3 switch 97a. In the CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100, the first start winning port 36 and the normal variable winning device 3
Based on the winning to 7, the first starting memory forming the starting memory (special figure starting memory) is stored up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4), and the second starting winning port 97 Start based on the winning Memory(
A second start memory that forms a special figure start memory) is stored within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4 pieces).
Based on the winning to the first starting winning opening 36, the normal fluctuation winning device 37 and the second starting winning opening 97, a jackpot random number value, a special pattern random number value, and each fluctuation pattern random number value are extracted as starting memory information, respectively, The extracted random number value is stored in the RAM 111C as the first starting memory and the second starting memory. And the number of memories of this starting memory is displayed on the first memory display unit (special figure 1 reservation display) and the second memory display unit (special figure 2 reservation display) for notifying the number of starting winnings of the collective display device 50 At the same time, it is also displayed on the display device 41 of the center case 40 as a decorative special figure start memory display.

The game control device 100 performs a special figure 1 variable display game with a special figure 1 display device (first variation display device) of the collective display device 50 based on the first start memory, and a collective display device based on the second start memory. A special figure 2 variation display game is performed with 50 special figure 2 indicators (second variation display devices). The special figure 1 variation display game and the special figure 2 variation display game can be executed at the same time, but during the execution of one special figure variation display game, the other special figure variation display game becomes the first special result (jackpot). If it is, the one special figure variation display game is terminated as a result other than the special result (loss result). Also, during execution of one of the special figure fluctuation display games, if the other special figure fluctuation display game results in a second special result (small hit), the one of the special game states until the end of the special game state based on the small hit The special figure fluctuation display game is interrupted.

That is, the game control device (game control means) 100 is a special figure based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning port 36 (first start winning region) or normal variable winning device 37 (first starting winning region) It constitutes first execution control means for controlling the execution of the first variable display game (first special figure variable display game). In addition, the game control device (game control means) 100 is a special figure 2 variation display game (second special figure variation display game) based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 97 (second start winning area) a second execution control means for controlling the execution of

In the special figure 1 indicator and the special figure 2 indicator of the collective display device 50, after performing the variable display, the predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. Then, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the display mode of the special figure 1 display device or the special figure 2 display device becomes a special result mode (jackpot result mode) corresponding to the first special result and the big hit. Then, it becomes the first special game state (so-called big hit state). Also, if the result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a small hit, the special figure 1 indicator or the special figure 2
The display mode of the display becomes a special result mode (minor win result mode) corresponding to the second special result, a small win, and a second special game state (so-called small win state). That is, the special figure 1 display device of the collective display device 50 can display the first variable display game (special figure 1 variable display game) based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning port 36 or the normal variation winning device 37 constitutes a first variable display means. In addition, the special figure 2 display device of the collective display device 50 can display the second variation display game (special figure 2 variation display game) based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 97 second variation display means form.

In addition, the game control device (game control means) 100 has a jackpot game state (first special game state)
After the end of, control to generate a game state (specific game state) in which the game can be progressed in a situation that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state (high probability of winning or having general electric support) It is possible. That is, the game control device (game control means) 100 serves as a specific game state generating means.

In addition, in response to the execution of the special figure 1 variation display game and the special figure 2 variation display game, the display device 41
A decoration special figure variable display game is executed in which a plurality of types of decoration identification information (numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are displayed in a variable manner. The decoration special figure variation display game on the display device 41 includes a decoration special figure 1 variation display game corresponding to the special figure 1 variation display game and a decoration special figure 2 variation display game corresponding to the special figure 2 variation display game. Yes, and they are displayed in separate display areas. Then, the variation display is performed with the variation of the corresponding special figure variation display game, and the display corresponding to the result is performed with the derivation of the result mode in the corresponding special figure variation display game.

That is, the display device 41 is a decoration variable display game ( It constitutes a decoration variable display means capable of displaying a decoration special figure variable display game). In addition, separate display devices may be used for the decoration special figure 1 variation display game and the decoration special figure 2 variation display game, or only one decoration special figure variation display game may be displayed. Also, game machine 1
The special figure fluctuation display game may be executed only by the display device 41 without providing the special figure 1 indicator and the special figure 2 indicator of the collective display device 50 at 0.

In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the special figure 2 variation display game has a higher probability of a small hit, but in the case of the normal game state which is a low probability state, the variation time is the variation pattern of the special figure 2 variation display game. A very long (approximately 10 minutes) length variation is selected. As a result, special figure 2 in the normal game state
The execution of the variable display game becomes inefficient in terms of time, and the player is prevented from selecting the execution of the special figure 2 variable display game aiming at obtaining a small hit in the normal game state. Therefore, in the normal game state, it is more advantageous for the player to play the special figure 1 variable display game by hitting to the left and aiming at the first start winning opening 36. - 特許庁In addition, the long fluctuation time is about 10 minutes, but it may be longer or shorter (5 minutes, 50 minutes, 10 hours, etc.).

From the above, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment executes the game (special figure variation display game) based on the establishment of the starting condition, and gives the player a game value when the result of the game is a special result. A game machine capable of generating a special game state to be awarded, and a normal variable winning device 37 in which a start condition is established by winning a game ball, and a normal game state (normal game state ST24, first specific game state ST21) are specified. Game state (second specific game state ST22, third specific game state ST23)
and a game state control means (game control device 100) capable of generating a special game state, and the game state control means determines that the result of the game is a predetermined result (in this embodiment, a normal jackpot or In the case of a probability variable A jackpot), a specific game state can be generated after the special game state is generated, and if the result of the game is a specific result (support hit) different from the special result, a special It is configured so that a specific game state can be generated without generating a game state (see FIG. 84).

Therefore, since the specific game state (general electric support) occurs with a predetermined probability until the special game state occurs, it is possible to suppress the player's usage amount and suppress the reduction speed of the ball. is possible, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.
In addition, since the specific game state (general electric support) may occur not only after passing through the special game state but also without passing through the special game state, the transition timing of the game state increases. As a result, the interest in the game can be enhanced.
In addition, if the specific game state (normal support) occurs frequently, there is a risk that gambling will become too high. When the game state (general electric support) occurs frequently, it is necessary to suppress the number of balls released in the special game state accordingly. Therefore, even if the specific game state (universal electric support) occurs frequently, the gambling nature does not become too high, and furthermore, it is possible to moderate the wave of paid out balls.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is such that the result of the game (special figure variation display game) is a specific result (
A setting means for setting a period corresponding to the specific result as a specific game period (number of times of support) for generating a specific game state (second specific game state ST22, third specific game state ST23) in the case of a support win). (game control device 100), and when the result of the game becomes a specific result during the occurrence of the specific game state, the setting means resets the specific game period being set to correspond to the specific result. The duration can be configured to be resettable (Fig. 10
reference).
By configuring in this way, when the specific result (support hit) is derived during the specific game state (second specific game state ST22, third specific game state ST23), the specific game period (support number) Since it is possible to extend the time, the amusement of the game is improved.

It is possible to execute a special effect performed during the special figure variation display game, and an additional effect performed after the special figure variation display game whose result is "sapo hit"). Further, in the present embodiment, modifications ([Modified example 1 of support hit determination] to [Modified example 5 of support hit determination], [Other modified example 1] to [Other modified example 11] in the first embodiment ] etc.) can be applied as appropriate.

It should be noted that the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine shown in the above-described embodiment, and may be other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, majang ball gaming machines, and the like. can be applied to all gaming machines that use game balls. It is also possible to apply the present invention to slot machines. The slot machines are not limited to slot machines using medals, but include all slot machines such as slot machines using game balls. Also, the configurations of the modifications and embodiments described above can be appropriately combined and applied.

In addition, the embodiments disclosed this time should be considered as examples in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of the claims rather than the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and range of equivalents of the scope of the claims.

For example, the gaming machine 10 may be a gaming machine that preferentially executes the special figure 2 variation display game over the special figure 1 variation display game, and the gaming machine 10 may be a special figure 1 variation display game. It may be a gaming machine that executes the special figure 1 fluctuation display game with priority over the 2 fluctuation display game, or a gaming machine that executes the special figure 1 fluctuation display game and the special figure 2 fluctuation display game in order of winning, or the special figure 1 It may be a gaming machine capable of simultaneously executing the variable display game and the special figure 2 variable display game.

In addition, the game machine 10 is not limited to a game machine that does not simultaneously display the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory and the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory on the display device 41. . That is, the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the first start memory and the decoration special figure start memory display corresponding to the second start memory may be displayed on the display device 41 at the same time.

Moreover, the gaming machine 10 is not limited to a gaming machine having a specific area (variable probability operating area). That is, based on the fact that the game ball has flowed into the specific area (the specific area switch 38d has detected the game ball), instead of generating a high probability state, the result of the special figure variation display game becomes a probability variable big hit. Based on this fact, a high probability state may be generated.
