The base 319a has a pair of mounting portions 319d for rotatably mounting the opening/closing door 319 to the game board 31, and projects slightly above the horizontal from the game board 31 when the opening/closing door 319 is in the operating position. . As a result, the opening/closing door 319 can receive the game ball 99 launched to the right side area of the game board 31 when it is in the operating position. A pair of guard walls 319b extend at the left and right edges of the base 319a to prevent game balls 99 received by the base 319a from falling from the left and right of the base 319a. Also, the pair of guides 319 c guides the game ball 99 received by the base 319 a to the variable winning opening 316 . A pair of guides 319c extend from the guard wall 319b to the vicinity of the variable winning opening 316, forming a gap through which the game ball 99 can pass. In addition, the variable prize winning port 316 has a through portion 316b for discharging the game ball 99 received by the opening/closing door 319 to the back side of the game board 31. As shown in FIG. The through portion 316b communicates with a guide path 316c provided on the back side of the game board 31. As shown in FIG. The guideway 316c extends in the vertical direction D2 and has a lower opening. Then, the game ball 99 received by the opening/closing door 319 is entered into the variable winning opening 316 and guided to the crew device 37 through the through portion 316b and the guide path 316c. A ball entering sensor 316a is provided in the guideway 316c. As a result, the game ball 99 entered into the variable winning hole 316 is detected when it passes through the penetrating portion 316b and is introduced into the guideway 316c. The ball entering sensor 316 a is electrically connected to the main control unit 331 . As a result, the detection result of the entering ball sensor 316 a is input to the main control unit 331 , and the main control unit 331 can detect that the game ball 99 has entered the variable winning hole 316 .

In the gaming machine 10, the main control unit 331 performs a jackpot lottery when the entry of a game ball into the first prize winning port 314 or the second prize winning port 315 is detected by the ball entering sensor 314a or the ball entering sensor 315a. Then, the main control unit 331 controls the display of the main display section 36 according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery. Also, the lottery result by the main control unit 331 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 332, and the sub-control unit 332 controls the display of the variable display unit 34 according to the lottery result.

Further, in the gaming machine 10, when the game ball entering the general winning port 313, the first winning port 314, the second winning port 315, and the variable winning port 316 is detected by the ball entering sensors 313a to 316a, A preset number of prize balls are paid out. For example, the number of prize balls when entering the general prize opening 313 is 10, the number of prize balls when entering the first prize opening 314 or the second prize opening 315 is 3, and the ball enters the variable prize opening 316. The number of prize balls in this case is 10. In particular, in the gaming machine 10, when the result of the lottery performed by the main control unit 331 is a jackpot, the state shifts to a jackpot game state (special game state), and a round game (unit game, which will be described later) in which the variable winning opening 316 is opened. ) is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times or 16 times), a large amount of prize balls can be expected to be paid out.

Also, when a game ball wins in the first winning hole 314 or the second winning hole 315, a jackpot lottery is executed. When the result of the lottery is winning, the game shifts to a predetermined jackpot game state which is more advantageous than the normal game state. In the present embodiment, the jackpot gaming state includes a 5R jackpot gaming state (5R normal jackpot gaming state and 5R probability variable jackpot gaming state) and a 16R probability variable jackpot gaming state. In the 5R jackpot game state, the round game (unit game) in which the variable winning opening 316 is opened until a predetermined time elapses or the game balls of the upper limit number (for example, 9) or more wins in the variable winning opening 316 is performed five times. It is a game state including the opening and closing execution mode that is performed. The 16R variable jackpot game state is a game state including an opening and closing execution mode in which round games (unit games) are performed 16 times, and a larger amount of prize balls can be expected to be paid out than in the 5R jackpot game state, and more than in the 5R jackpot game state. This is a game state that is advantageous to the player.

As shown in FIG. 4, the variable display unit 34 has a pattern display section 341 such as a liquid crystal display arranged so as to be visible through an opening 31A formed substantially in the center of the game board 31. As shown in FIG. The pattern display section 341 displays still images or moving images, and the display contents of the pattern display section 341 are controlled by the sub-control unit 332 . Specifically, in the pattern display unit 341, the variable display effect of decorative patterns according to the lottery result of the big win lottery performed by the main control unit 331 in response to the ball entering the first prize winning port 314 or the second prize winning port 315. , and various image effects such as a variable game effect executed in conjunction with the variable display effect. Also, the pattern display section 341 may be a dot matrix display, a plasma display, an organic EL display, or the like, or may be a combination of a liquid crystal display or plasma display and an organic EL display.

For example, the variable display effect of the decorative patterns in the pattern display section 341 is achieved by scrolling a plurality of types of decorative patterns with numbers "1" to "9" in order in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the diagonal direction. done. In addition, sub-designs such as other characters or designs may be displayed between the decorative designs. In addition, in this embodiment, there are no sub-symbols, and there are 9 types of decorative patterns, ie, "1" to "9".

In the game machine 10, in the variable game, after a predetermined variable display time has passed since the start of the symbol variable display in the symbol display section 341, the variable display of the decorative symbols is executed so that the variation of all the decorative symbols is stopped. be done. More specifically, in the variable display of decorative patterns, first, all decorative patterns are changed along a preset variable direction (for example, horizontal direction, vertical direction, etc.), and the fluctuation of a plurality of decorative patterns is stopped in order. Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the variation of the decorative design on all lines is stopped, the variable display of the decorative design is finished.

When the variable display of the ornamental symbols in the symbol display portion 341 is completed, the symbol display portion 341 displays a state in which the ornamental symbols are lined up on one or a plurality of active lines. At this time, the stopped state of the decoration pattern indicates or suggests the lottery result of the big win lottery by the main control unit 331. - 特許庁For example, if the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", "16R probability variable jackpot" or "5R normal jackpot", a state in which decorative patterns of the same type are lined up on the effective line is displayed, clearly indicating that it is a jackpot. be done. In addition, although the jackpot type may be indicated by a combination of decorative symbols on the activated line, it is not necessarily indicated. Specifically, for example, when the lottery result is "16R probability variation big hit", the pattern combination of, for example, "777", which is set as a symbol combination indicating the 16R probability variation big hit among the decorative patterns, is lined up on the effective line. is displayed, or a state in which combinations of the same decorative symbols other than "777" are lined up on the active line is displayed. In addition, if the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", a state in which a pattern combination such as "333", for example, which is set in advance as a symbol combination indicating a 5R probability variable jackpot among the decorative patterns, is lined up on the effective line is displayed. Or, a state is displayed in which combinations of the same decorative symbols other than the combination of symbols indicating 16R probability variable jackpots or 5R probability variable jackpots such as "777" and "333" are lined up on the activated line. Also, if the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", the decorative patterns other than the combination of decorative patterns indicating a variable jackpot, such as "222" and "444", are set in advance as a pattern combination indicating a normal jackpot. A combination of the same decorative patterns of , lined up on the active line is displayed. Also, if the lottery result is "lost", a state in which different combinations of decorative symbols are lined up on the activated line (for example, "323" or "723") is displayed.

In addition, in the symbol display section 341, along with the variable display of decorative symbols in the variation game, a variation game effect is displayed that suggests the degree of expectation that the lottery result in the big win lottery will be a big win. In addition, when the lottery result is "16R probability variable jackpot", when the state in which the jackpot pattern combination other than the decorative pattern combination indicating the 16R probability variable jackpot is lined up on the effective line is displayed, the 5R probability variable jackpot is displayed as a variable game effect. Alternatively, a suggestive effect suggesting a 5R normal jackpot is executed. In this case, in the big win game effect, promotion effect is executed to indicate that the lottery result for the variable game is a 16R probability variable big win. Similarly, when the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", when a state in which the jackpot pattern combination other than the decorative pattern combination indicating the probability variable jackpot is lined up on the effective line is displayed, the 5R normal jackpot is displayed as a variable game effect. A suggestive effect is executed to suggest that the In this case, in the jackpot game production, a promotion production or the like is executed to indicate that the lottery result for the variable game is a 5R probability variable jackpot.

Furthermore, when the game state shifts to the jackpot game state, the symbol display section 341 displays a jackpot game effect including an opening effect, an opening/closing execution mode effect and an ending effect.

Also, the game board 31 may be provided with a magnet sensor and a radio wave sensor (both not shown). The magnet sensors are provided around the first winning opening 314 and the variable winning opening 316, for example. The magnet sensor is electrically connected to the main control unit, and the detection result of the magnet sensor is input to the main control unit 331 . As a result, when a magnet is used to fraudulently guide a game ball to the first winning opening 314 or the variable winning opening 316, the fraud can be detected. On the other hand, radio wave sensors are provided around the first prize winning port 314 and the second prize winning port 315, for example. The radio wave sensor is electrically connected to the main control unit 331 , and the detection result of the radio wave sensor is input to the main control unit 331 . As a result, when an act of illegally inputting radio waves to the entering ball sensors 314a and 315a to erroneously detect the entering of a game ball is performed, it is possible to detect the illegal act. The radio wave sensor can detect radio waves of 50 MHz to 3 GHz, for example.

As shown in FIG. 4, the crew device 37 directs the game ball entered into the variable winning hole 316 to either a normal out ball hole 378 or a special out ball hole 373 (see FIGS. 7 and 8), which will be described later. It is a distribution. Here, FIG. 6 is a view showing an example of the opening/closing door 319, the cloon device 37 and the game ball retention portion 38 provided on the game board 31 shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the cloon device 37, and FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view along the X1-X1 cutting line of FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the croon device 37 is dish-shaped having a bottom wall 371 and an annular peripheral wall 372 surrounding the bottom wall 371 . The bottom wall 371 is circular in plan view, and has a high bottom portion 371a, a low bottom portion 371b, and an inclined portion 371c that slopes downward to the left and is provided between the high bottom portion 371a and the low bottom portion 371b.

The high bottom portion 371a constitutes the right portion of the bottom wall 371 and is inclined downward to the right. A special out-ball passage 374 having a special out-ball mouth 373 (special discharge port) is provided in the high bottom portion 371a. The special out ball passage 374 is provided adjacent to the right edge of the inclined portion 371c and extends in the vertical direction D2 at the central portion of the high bottom portion 371a in the front-rear direction D1. This special out ball passage 374 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the game ball 99 . A first guide member 375 is connected to the lower end of the special out ball passage 374 . This first guide member 375 is for guiding the game ball 99 passing through the special out ball passage 374 to the game ball retention portion 38 . The first guide member 375 has an upper opening 375 a and a lower opening 375 b connected to the lower end of the special out ball passage 374 . The lower opening 375b is provided on the right side of the upper opening 375a, and releases the game ball 99 of the special out ball passage 374 toward the game ball retention portion 38 from the right side of the special out ball passage 374.

It should be noted that the first guide member 375 can also have a function of retaining the game ball 99 that cannot be retained in the game ball retaining portion 38 . By the way, in the present embodiment, a number (specific information) corresponding to a non-set value that is a game set value other than a set value that is a game set value that is set in the gaming machine 10 is set for a predetermined period (see FIG. 9). It is presented on the 7-segment display section 39 based on the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 (the number of specific conditions satisfied in a predetermined period). In this embodiment, since the number of segments of the 7-segment display section 39 is seven (excluding the dot points DP), one non-set value can be reliably specified with seven pieces of information. In addition, since the game set values are in six stages from 1 to 6, there are 5 non-set values, so all the non-set values can be specified with 35 pieces of information. That is, the gaming machine 10 is required to be able to present at least 35 pieces of information (the prescribed number). Therefore, it is preferable that the game ball retention section 38 is configured so that a prescribed number or more of game balls 99 can be retained during a specific period (see FIG. 9) described later. However, depending on the arrangement of various members of the game machine 10, it may be difficult to configure the game ball retention portion 38 to retain the game balls 99 in a predetermined number or more. In this case, by giving the first guide member 375 the function of accumulating the game balls 99, the number of the game balls 99 that is difficult to store only with the game ball retention portion 38 is retained using the first guide member 375. be able to. As a result, it is possible to allow game balls 99 of a prescribed number or more to remain in a specified period, and information necessary to specify all non-set values is presented. Similarly, the game ball 99 may be retained in the special out ball passage 374 to which the first guide member 375 is connected. As a result, due to the arrangement of various members, not only the game ball retention portion 38 but also the first guide member 375 is provided with a function of retaining the game balls 99, making it difficult to retain more than the specified number of game balls 99. In such a case, by using the special out ball passage 374, it becomes possible to retain the game balls 99 of the specified number or more. As a result, it becomes possible to retain more than the specified number of game balls 99 in a specific period, and there is a possibility that information necessary for specifying all non-set values is presented.

On the other hand, it is conceivable to set a limit on the number of game balls 99 to be retained during a specific period. For example, it is conceivable to set the limit number to the specified number (match the limit number to the specified number). In this case, for example, when the number of information (individual information of specific information) corresponding to the number of balls entered into the special out ball 373 is presented, all non-set values in one specific period information may be presented to identify In addition, when the number of game balls 99 satisfying a predetermined condition among the game balls 99 to the special out ball 373, for example, information corresponding to the number of winning the lottery, is presented, the winning of the lottery is presented. The expected number of information is presented according to the probability, and the expected number of this information is basically smaller than the specified number, so it is possible that not all the information required to identify all non-set values will be presented. There is As a result, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being specified by the entry of the game ball 99 into the special out ball opening 373 in one specific period, and as a result, when the setting value is low (when the jackpot probability is low). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from prematurely ending the game on the game machine 10 during the game.

As means for limiting the number of game balls 99 to be retained during a specific period, for example, a configuration is adopted in which the game balls 99 are retained in the game ball retention portion 38, the first guide member 375, and the special out ball passage 374. However, when a limited number of game balls 99 enter the special out ball passage 374, by positioning the game balls 99 in the vicinity of the special out ball opening 373 (by causing ball clogging), special It is conceivable to restrict the entry of the game ball 99 into the out ball passage 374 . According to such a configuration, it is possible to limit the number of game balls 99 to be retained for a specific period by a simple mechanical configuration without requiring complicated configuration and control.

On the other hand, the game ball retention portion 38 has a retention lane 381 inclined downward to the left as described later. That is, the first guide member 375 guides the game ball 99 to the right portion (upstream side) of the retention lane 381 in the game ball retention portion 38 . The game ball 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 does not enter the various prize winning openings 313 to 316 and does not pass through the through gate 317 . Therefore, the game ball 99 that entered the special out ball passage 373 is not expected to enter the various winning holes 313 to 316 or pass through the through gate 317, for example, when it is introduced into the special out ball passage 374 (special When detected by the out-ball sensor 384), it is treated as an out-ball.

The low bottom portion 371b constitutes the left portion of the bottom wall 371 and slopes downward toward the center. A normal passage 376 having a normal out ball mouth 378 is provided in the low bottom portion 371b. The normal passage 376 is provided at a position adjacent to the left edge of the inclined portion 371c so as to extend in the vertical direction D2 except for a portion along the peripheral wall 372 of the low bottom portion 371b. This normal passage 376 is for guiding the game ball 99 entered through the normal out ball opening 378 to the back side of the game board 31, and has a semi-cylindrical shape having a larger opening area than the special out ball opening 373. is formed in A second guide member 377 is connected to the lower end of the normal passage 376 . This second guide member 377 gathers the game balls 99 passing through the normal passage 376 to the back side of the game board 31 in the same way as the game balls passing through the opening of the out port 318 . The game balls 99 collected by the second guide member 377 are detected by the out-ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12) and counted as out-balls.

The game ball 99 that is hit to the right side area of the game board 31 and received by the opening/closing door 319 as described above is guided to the croon device 37 through the guide path 316c. The game ball 99 guided to the croon device 37 moves on the bottom wall 371 along the peripheral wall 372 . As a result, the flow of the game ball 99 is delayed in the croon device 37 . Most of the game balls 99 moving on the bottom wall 371, for example, because their kinetic energy is reduced, or collide with the peripheral wall 372 of the croon device 37 or other game balls 99, are usually out balls. Enter 378. A game ball 99 entering the normal out ball opening 378 moves through the normal passage 376 and the second guide member 377 and is guided to a position detectable by the out ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12).

On the other hand, some of the game balls moving on the bottom wall 371 change their moving direction due to collisions with the periphery of the normal out ball 378 or other game balls, etc., and enter the special out ball 373. do. A game ball 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 is released toward the game ball retention portion 38 via the special out ball passage 374 and the first guide member 375 .

Here, the ball entry probability that the game ball 99 moving on the bottom wall 371 enters the special out ball opening 373 is set to, for example, 0.5% or more and 5% or less, preferably 1% or more and 3% or less. . In other words, the expected number of balls entering the special out ball mouth 373 per round game for 10R is set to, for example, 0.5 or more and 5 or less, preferably 1 or more and 3 or less. By setting the probability of entering a ball or the expected number of entering a ball within such a range, it is possible to prevent the player from specifying the setting value early, while at the same time it is possible to specify the setting value realistically. be possible. This prevents the gaming machine 10 from ending the game when the set value is specified early, such as when the set value is low. It is possible to prevent the game at 10 from ending.

In this embodiment, the special out ball 373 is provided on the high bottom portion 371a of the bottom wall 371, and the normal out ball 378 has a larger opening area than the special out ball 373. is markedly more difficult for the game ball 99 to enter than the normal out ball opening 378, but instead of or in addition to all or part of these, the game ball is inserted into the special out ball opening 373 by other means. It is also conceivable that 99 will make it difficult to enter the ball. For example, it is conceivable to provide an inhibition means for inhibiting entry of the game ball 99 into the special out ball 373 in the peripheral portion of the special out ball 373 . As the obstruction means, for example, an obstacle such as a wall surrounding the special out ball 373 that hinders the ball from entering the special out ball 373, a magnetic force or an electromagnetic force that repels the game ball 99 in the peripheral part of the special out ball 373. Means for generating a force, and means for forming an air curtain by blowing air around the special out ball mouth 373 are conceivable.

Further, an opening/closing part for opening/closing the special out ball 373 may be provided, and the opening/closing part may make it difficult for the game ball to enter the special out ball 373 . In this case, the special out ball 373 may be provided on the same plane as the normal out ball 378, and the normal out ball 378 is formed to have the same or substantially the same opening area as the special out ball 373. good too.

Also, the distribution means for distributing the game balls 99 that have entered the variable winning opening 316 to the normal out ball opening 378 and the special out ball opening 373 is not limited to the crew device 37, and other means may be used. For example, by adjusting the arrangement of a rotating member such as a switching valve, a rotating member, or a nail driven into the game board 31, the normal out ball 378 and the special out ball 373 may be distributed. .

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the game ball retention part 38 receives the game ball 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 and retains the game ball 99 until a specific period elapses. is. Then, after the specific period has elapsed, segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39, which will be described later, are controlled, and 7 A number is displayed on the segment display portion 39 . Here, FIG. 9 shows specific information indicating a specific period for retaining game balls in the game ball retention portion, a predetermined period for accumulating the number of game balls entering the special out ball mouth of the crew device, and a non-set value. It is a figure for demonstrating the prescribed period displayed on a 7 segment display part.

In the following, referring to FIG. 9, the specific period is defined as the period during which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retention section 38, and the predetermined period is defined as As a period for cumulatively counting the number, all of the numbers (specific information) indicating a non-set value based on the number of game balls 99 that entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in a specific period, or A part of the period will be described as being displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, but the "specific period" is not limited to the period in which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retention section 38, and the "predetermined period" is the crew device. It is not limited to the period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 entering the 37 special out balls 373 . That is, the "specified period", "predetermined period" and "prescribed period" include at least the periods described below.

As shown in FIGS. 9(A) and 9(B), the specific period of time in which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retaining portion 38 is the opening/closing execution mode in the jackpot game after the jackpot game (opening) is started. A specific period is set for each jackpot game that is started in a predetermined period until the game ends (starts the ending). That is, the beginning of the specific period is when the jackpot game starts, and the end of the specific period is when the opening/closing execution mode of the jackpot game ends (when the ending starts). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9A, when a normal jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is a normal jackpot and a single-shot jackpot), the jackpot game is started during a specific period. to the end of the opening/closing execution mode of the jackpot game. Also, as shown in FIG. 9(B), if you win a high probability big hit in low probability mode (if the first hit is a high probability big hit and the jackpot series starts), if you win a normal jackpot in high probability mode A period from the start of each jackpot game to the end of the open/close execution mode of the jackpot game is specified for all the jackpot games executed until the jackpot series ends by the normal jackpot game. set as a period. That is, in the jackpot series, a plurality of specific periods are set corresponding to the number of jackpot games executed during the jackpot series.

In other words, the number corresponding to the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in a specific period of one jackpot game regardless of the type of jackpot or winning timing, 7 Segments A to G of the segment display portion 39 are turned on and off at the ending of the jackpot game, which is a prescribed period. In other words, the specified period is the probability that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery set for the game machine 10 will be a big hit, based on the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 during the specific period. is set as a period for displaying a number indicating a game set value (a plurality of non-set values) other than the game set value (set value) that defines the 7-segment display unit 39 .

Then, when the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 in the specific period of one big win game is 7 or more and less than 14, the big win lottery set in the game machine 10 Numbers specifying game set values (a plurality of non-set values) other than game set values (set values) that define the probability that the lottery result will be a big win are displayed in a display order set in the display order setting process of FIG. 36 described later. , one is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 at the ending (specified period) after the specified period of time in the jackpot game. In addition, in the ending (regulation period) after the specific period of the jackpot game has passed, the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 in the specific period of one jackpot game is 14 in the 7-segment display section 39. If the number is 20 or more, two numbers specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed in the order according to the display order, and if the number is 21 or more and less than 28, a plurality of non-set values are specified. are displayed in the order according to the display order, and when the number is 28 or more and less than 35, four numbers specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed in the order according to the display order, When the number is 35 or more, five numbers (all numbers) specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed in the order according to the display order. In addition, if the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 is less than 7 in the specific period of one jackpot game, 7 in the ending (regulation period) after the specific period in the jackpot game The segment display section 39 does not display even one number specifying a plurality of non-set values.

In this way, in the gaming machine 10, every time a jackpot game is executed, a 7-segment display section 39, which will be described later, is displayed based on the number of gaming balls 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 during a specific period. 1 to 5 numbers specifying a plurality of non-set values can be displayed in the , and the setting value can be specified by displaying 5 numbers specifying the non-set values. For example, when the number 1 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, it can be specified that the game set value 1 is a non-set value, and when the number 2 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, the game set value 2 can be specified as a non-set value, and the seven-segment display portion 39 can specify that the game set value 3 is a non-set value by displaying the number 3 on the seven-segment display portion 39. When 4 is displayed, it can be specified that the game set value 4 is a non-set value, and when the number 5 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, it can be specified that the game set value 5 is a non-set value. By displaying the number 6 on the 7-segment display portion 39, it can be specified that the game set value 6 is a non-set value. In addition, since five numbers 2 to 6 are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, it can be identified that the non-set values are the game set values 2 to 6, so that the set value is understood to be the game set value 1. can. Similarly, five numbers 1, 3 to 6 are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, so that it can be understood that the set value is the game set value 2. By displaying five numbers, it can be understood that the set value is the game set value 3, and by displaying five numbers of 1 to 3, 5, and 6 on the 7-segment display section 39, the set value is the game set value. It can be understood that the set value is 4, and five numbers 1 to 4 and 6 are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, so that the set value can be recognized as the game set value 5, and 1 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. It can be understood that the set value is the game set value 6 by displaying five numbers from .about.5.

Also, it is possible to grasp the numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 before all the segments A to G are to be controlled. For example, when segments A to G are to be controlled in the order of segment A→segment B→segment C→segment D→segment E→segment F→segment G, segment A, which is the first control target, is turned off. , the number candidates displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 are "1" and "4". When segment F, which is the sixth controlled object, is turned on, it can be recognized as "4", and when segment F is turned off, it can be recognized as "1". That is, the number "1" or "4" can be recognized at the stage when the segment F, which is the sixth controlled object before all the segments A to G become the controlled object, becomes the controlled object. When segment A, which is the first control target, is turned on, the number candidates displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 are "2", "3", "5" and "6". When segment B, which is the second object to be controlled, is turned on, it can be determined to be either "2" or "3", and when segment B is turned off, "5" and " 6” can be determined. Furthermore, it can be recognized as "3" when segment C, which is the third control target, is turned on, and can be recognized as "2" when segment C is turned off. That is, the number "2" or "3" can be recognized at the stage when segment C, which is the third control target before all the segments A to G become the control target, becomes the control target. Furthermore, it can be recognized as "6" when segment E, which is the fifth controlled object, is turned on, and can be recognized as "5" when segment E is turned off. That is, the number "5" or "6" can be recognized at the stage when the segment E, which is the fifth controlled object before all the segments A to G become the controlled object, becomes the controlled object. That is, the numbers "2" and "3" can be recognized at the stage when the segment C, which is the third control target, is turned on or off, and the numbers "5" and "6" are the segment, which is the fifth control target. The numbers "1" and "4" can be recognized when the segment F, which is the sixth controlled object, is lit or extinguished. In this embodiment, even if the number indicating the non-set value is grasped before all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are controlled, all the segments A to G are controlled. Control to display the next priority number is not initiated unless it is targeted. As a result, in order to identify all non-set values, it is easier than the case where the control for displaying the next priority number is started at the stage where the number corresponding to the non-set value can be grasped. A number of specific conditions must be met. As a result, it is possible to increase the difficulty until all the non-set values are identified, and thus the difficulty of recognizing the set values, thereby preventing the set values from being recognized in a short playing time. Therefore, even if the set value is low, it is possible to prevent the player from grasping the set value in a short period of time. It is possible to suppress the decline in the operating rate of

It should be noted that if the number indicating the non-set value is grasped before all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are subject to control, the control for displaying the next priority number is started. can be For example, when the priority order of numbers is "1"→"2"→"3"→..., the control order for the number "1" is the sixth segment F. When it is understood that the number displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 is "1", the segment G, which has the seventh control order, is not set as a control target, and the number " 2” may be started. By the way, when the segments A to G are controlled in order to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G become the objects of control, before all the segments A to G become the objects of control Even if the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 can be recognized, the control of the segments A to G for displaying the numbers to be displayed next is performed only after all the segments A to G have been controlled. does not start. Therefore, even if the player recognizes the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 before all the segments A to G become control targets, the next number to be displayed starts to be displayed. Until then, information is displayed on the 7-segment display 39 to identify the numbers already recognized by the player. In other words, when the segments A to G are controlled in order to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G are controlled, information unnecessary for the player is displayed on the 7 segment display section 39. During the period when such unnecessary information is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, there is concern that interest in the game may decrease. On the other hand, when the number indicating the non-set value is grasped before all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are controlled, control for displaying the next priority number is performed. If it is started, after one non-set value can be identified, the segments A to G that do not contribute to the estimation of that non-set value will not become the control target. This prevents the loss of interest in the game due to the segments A to G being unnecessarily controlled.

On the other hand, during the predetermined period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, the normal jackpot open/close execution mode is started after the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode is started. Until the end. That is, the start of the predetermined period is the time when the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode is started, and the end of the predetermined period is the time when the opening/closing execution mode of the normal jackpot game is ended (the ending of the normal jackpot game starts at the time when the Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9A, when a normal jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is a normal jackpot and a single-shot jackpot), the jackpot game is started for a predetermined period. to the end of the opening/closing execution mode of the jackpot game. That is, in the case of a single-shot jackpot, the predetermined period coincides with the specific period during which the game ball 99 is retained in the game ball retention portion 38 . Also, as shown in FIG. 9(B), when the probability variable jackpot is won in the low probability mode (when the first hit is the probability variable jackpot and the jackpot series is started), the jackpot series is started for a predetermined period. It is a period from the start of the variable probability big winning game for the initial winning as a trigger to the end of the opening/closing execution mode of the normal big winning game as a trigger for ending the big winning series. That is, in the case of a series of jackpots, the predetermined period does not coincide with the specific period during which the game balls 99 are retained in the game ball retention section 38, and a plurality of times are set according to the number of jackpot games started within the predetermined period.

By the way, when the jackpot game is started, unless there are special circumstances, the game is not ended in the middle of the jackpot game, or the game is not finished in the middle of the jackpot series. Therefore, by setting a specific period for retaining the game balls 99 in the game ball retaining portion 38 for each jackpot game, the player is prevented from finishing the game before the specific period ends. In addition, a predetermined period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 is from the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the open/close execution mode of the jackpot game for the normal jackpot. is set to prevent the player from ending the game before the predetermined period ends. Then, in the jackpot game, in the ending (specified period) after the specific period has passed, the number of game balls 99 retained in the game ball retention section 38 in the specific period (the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 entered By controlling the 7-segment display unit 39 based on the number of game balls 99), information (all or part of the number corresponding to the non-set value) that can identify or guess the non-set value is displayed. In the ending after the opening/closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the jackpot has passed, a non-set value can be specified or guessed corresponding to the cumulative number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in a predetermined period. Information (all or part of the number corresponding to the non-set value) is displayed. As a result, even if a player who does not know the timing at which the non-set values other than the set values can be identified or guessed progresses the game, the game ends before the timing at which the non-set values can be identified or guessed. is prevented. Therefore, even a player who does not know the timing at which the non-set values can be specified or estimated can specify or estimate the non-set values, and the setting values can be specified by specifying all the non-set values. is also possible. In addition, it is possible to eliminate so-called hyena behavior of other players who play games aiming at timings at which non-set values can be specified or guessed.

Further, the specific period is set for each jackpot game started in a predetermined period, so that in the consecutive jackpot, the predetermined period is set from the first jackpot to the final jackpot game of the jackpot consecutive jackpots. Therefore, in the continuous jackpot, the predetermined period is longer than in the single hit, and the predetermined period is longer as the number of times the jackpot game is executed increases. As a result, there is a high possibility that the number of game balls 99 that enter the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 is greater in the consecutive jackpot than in the single hit, and in the consecutive jackpot, the higher the number of consecutive games. There is a high possibility that the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 will increase. As a result, the player not only has a higher expected value of the game value that can be obtained, but also obtains a lot of information for specifying or estimating the non-set value, so that the non-set value and the set value can be obtained. The benefit can be that the value is easier to guess or specify.

It should be noted that the start of the specific period for retaining the game balls 99 in the game ball retaining portion 38 may be set during the jackpot game, and the open/close execution mode starts (the opening of the first hit ends) not only at the start of the jackpot game. It may be at the time of Moreover, the end of the specific period may be set during the jackpot game, or may be set during the ending that normally shifts after the jackpot. Preferably, the specific period is set as one section including the open/close execution mode for one jackpot game. Thereby, based on the number of specific conditions established when the game ball 99 enters the variable winning hole 316 in the open/close execution mode (the game ball 99 passing through the special out ball hole 373 of the crew device 37 ), information for specifying the non-set value can be displayed on the 7-segment display 39 after the specified period has elapsed. As a result, in the opening and closing execution mode, the player can enjoy the game by paying attention to whether or not the game ball 99 enters the special out ball mouth 373. Focusing on the contents displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, the user can enjoy the game by specifying or estimating the non-set value based on the displayed contents.

In addition, the start of the predetermined period for cumulatively counting the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 is limited to the time when the jackpot game for the first hit (jackpot in the low probability mode) is started. Instead, it may be set to a jackpot game. Preferably, the opening and closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the first hit (jackpot in low probability mode), for example, the jackpot game for the first hit (jackpot in low probability mode) is started (the opening of the first hit is finished). may Thus, by setting the start of the predetermined period to the jackpot game for the first win, the predetermined period is always set for one first win regardless of whether it is a single-shot jackpot or a consecutive jackpot. At least one chance to guess or specify a non-set value is guaranteed for the first hit.

On the other hand, the end of the predetermined period is not limited to the time when the opening/closing execution mode of the normal jackpot game ends, but may be set during the jackpot game, for example, the ending of the jackpot game, typically the ending of the normal jackpot game. can be considered. Further, the end of the predetermined period may be the time when the normal jackpot game ends (the ending with the jackpot ends), or the time when the time saving mode that is shifted after the normal jackpot ends. In addition, in the present embodiment, the description is based on the premise of a loop variable machine, but in other forms of gaming machines such as ST machines, V-ST machines, and one and two types of mixed machines, a predetermined period is set according to the mode. It is also conceivable to set For example, in the V-ST machine, if there is no V prize in the first hit (normal jackpot), the predetermined period is set in the same way as in the case of the normal jackpot of the loop variable machine, and if there is a V prize in the first hit (variable jackpot ), the start of the first jackpot game or opening/closing execution mode is the start of a predetermined period, and the end of the opening/closing execution mode with a big win without V prizes, or the end of a specified number of jackpot lotteries in a high-probability mode, etc. It is conceivable that it is the end of the predetermined period.

Also, the predetermined period may be set to a period during which the variable game is executed (a period from the end of the jackpot game to the start of the jackpot game) regardless of the jackpot game. For example, the predetermined period can be set according to the type of condition (specific condition) in which all or part of the specific information (number) indicating the non-set value is displayed, and the normal game state (high probability mode and Low frequency support mode) period (period from the end of the time saving mode to the start of the next jackpot), period of staying in the time saving mode (from the end of the normal jackpot to the normal game state) period), the period of staying in the low probability mode (the period from the end of the normal jackpot to the start of the next jackpot game), until a predetermined number of jackpot lotteries are received in one or both of the high probability mode and the low probability mode. period, a period until receiving a predetermined number of normal winning lotteries in one or both of the high probability mode and low probability mode, a predetermined number of game balls 99 in the general winning opening 313 in one or both of the high probability mode and low probability mode is won, the period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 are won in the first winning port 314 in one or both of the high probability mode and the low probability mode, one of the high probability mode and the low probability mode or A period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 win the second winning hole 315 in both, a period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 pass through the through gate 317 in one or both of the high probability mode and the low probability mode , a period until a predetermined number of game balls 99 are launched onto the game board 31 in one or both of the high-probability mode and the low-probability mode. Moreover, the predetermined period may be set for each variation game. That is, the predetermined period may be set to a period from the start of the variable game (the start of the variable display of the decorative symbols) to the end of the variable game (the end of the variable display of the decorative symbols). In this case, the entire period of one variation game may be the predetermined period, or a partial period of one variation game may be the predetermined period. When a partial period of one variation game is set as the predetermined period, the predetermined period is the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative patterns until the decorative patterns reach the reach state, and from the start of the variable display of the decorative patterns. The period until the development effect such as the special reach effect starts, the period from the decorative pattern reaching the reach state until the development effect starts, and the decorative pattern reaching the reach state until the development effect ends. period, a period during which the development effect is executed, and the like.

In this way, by setting the predetermined period in the period in which the variable game is executed, it is possible to identify or guess the non-set value and recognize or guess the set value even during the period other than the period in which the jackpot game is executed. be possible. As a result, it is possible to enjoy the progress of the game while specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value) during the period in which the variable game is executed.

Then, when the predetermined period is set to the period during which the variable game is executed, the sorting means such as the cloon device 37 normally hits the game ball 99 hit to the left side area of the game board 31. The position where 99 is distributed to the normal out ball 378 and the special out ball 373 (for example, the left area of the game board 31 (above or below the general winning opening 313) or the central area (above or to the side of the first winning opening 314) ) can also be considered. In this case, the non-set value (set value) can be specified or estimated without performing a special hit (right hit to hit the game ball 99 to the right side area of the game board 31). Thus, it is possible to enjoy specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value) while progressing the game as usual without lowering the probability of the game ball 99 entering the general winning hole 313 or the first winning hole 314.例文帳に追加can be done.

Also, depending on the type of specific condition, it is conceivable to set the start time of the predetermined period when the main power supply to the gaming machine 10 is turned on. Also, depending on the type of specific condition, the end of the predetermined period may be set when the main power supply to the gaming machine 10 is turned off.

In addition, as a specific condition, in place of the game ball 99 distributed by the distribution means such as the crew device 37 for a predetermined period of time entering the special out ball 373, a specific area other than the special out ball 373 For example, the game ball 99 passes through the through gate 317 or the game ball 99 enters various prize winning openings 313-316.

In addition, the game ball 99 that enters the general winning hole 313, the first winning hole 314, etc. or passes through the through gate 317 is guided to the distribution means such as the crew device 37, and the game distributed by the distribution means. A specific condition may be that the ball 99 is entered into the special out ball mouth 373 . In this case as well, it is possible to enjoy specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value) while proceeding with the game as usual without performing a special launch.

Also, the specific condition may be the occurrence of a specific event that can occur in the progress of the game. The particular event in this case may be either favorable or unfavorable to the player. If a specific event is advantageous to the player, in addition to the privilege obtained by the occurrence of the specific event, the player may can be further obtained. On the other hand, if the specific event is a disadvantageous event for the player, the player may use all or part of the specific information indicating the non-set value (set value) as a remedy for the disadvantage caused by the occurrence of the specific event. You can get more parts. As a specific event, for example, winning a jackpot a predetermined number of times (including one time) or more (a jackpot game is executed a predetermined number of times (including one time) or more), probability variation or normal jackpot a predetermined number of times (one time) (including ) or more winning (variable probability or normal jackpot game is executed more than a predetermined number of times (including 1 time)), the number of jackpot consecutive games reaches a predetermined number or more (usually probability change before winning a jackpot) Winning a jackpot consecutively a predetermined number of times or more), reaching a jackpot lottery number of times equal to or more than a predetermined number of times until winning a jackpot, winning game balls 99 exceeding the upper limit in the round game in the open/close execution mode of the jackpot game. (Over winning) may occur.

Further, the specific event may be execution of a specific effect preset in a variation game or a jackpot game. The specific effect in this case is not particularly limited, for example, it may be set to any of non-reach effect and ready-to-win effect, and may be set to any of opening effect, round game effect and ending effect. Typically, the specific effect is a premium effect in which the jackpot or the probability variable jackpot is confirmed among the variable game effects, and the execution of the reservation series after the end of the jackpot game in the jackpot game (at the start of the jackpot game, At the start of the opening/closing execution mode, at the end of the opening/closing execution mode, or at the end of the jackpot game, at a specific time of the jackpot game, the lottery results include jackpots in the suspension. . Furthermore, as a specific event, it is conceivable that the decorative symbols in the pattern display section 341 are displayed in a specific combination to be stopped or temporarily stopped (intermediate stop display). For example, when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed at "777" in the pattern display unit 341, when it is stopped and displayed at a specific reach-off point such as "767", a specific non-reach-off point such as "367" Temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) can be considered. As a temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) that clearly indicates that the development effect is to be executed, a temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) is performed with the left and right decorative patterns in the ready-to-win state, such as "7 development 7". It is conceivable that a symbol, such as "development", which clearly indicates that a development effect is to be executed, is temporarily stopped and displayed. The specific condition may also be the occurrence of a specific combination of specific events.

Also, the specific condition may be established in relation to the set value. That is, a specific condition may include a set value, and for example, a specific condition may be established when a specific event occurs in a specific set value. In this case, while the type of the specific condition depends on the set value, the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values on the 7-segment display section 39 is defined by the set value as will be described later. Therefore, the numbers indicating the non-set values are displayed in the 7-segment display section 39 in a different order depending on the type of specific condition. This makes it possible to set the display order for each set value based on, for example, whether the probability of winning a jackpot is high or low, and to characterize the display of numbers indicating multiple non-set values for each set value. become.

In addition, the specified period for displaying the specific information indicating the non-set value or a part thereof (special information) when the specific condition is satisfied is not limited to the case where it is set for each ending of the jackpot game, and other It may be timing, and it is conceivable to set according to the relationship with a predetermined period, the relationship with a specific period, the relationship with a specific condition, or the like. For example, the prescribed period may be only the ending of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the given period is typically set after the elapse of the given period as described in the second embodiment below, and the jackpot game Other than that, for example, it may be after the end of the jackpot game. In addition, when the predetermined period is set to the execution period of the variable game, the specified period is, for example, at the start of the variation of the decorative pattern in the variable game, the temporary stop display timing when the decorative pattern is in the reach state, the super reach effect, the special reach effect, etc. Timing when the development production of is started, execution of the development production, etc. can be considered. In other words, it is conceivable to set the specified period to the period during which the variable game is executed. When the specified period is set to the period during which the variable game is executed, it becomes possible to display the specific information indicating the non-set value along with the result of the big winning lottery. For example, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is displayed in the pattern display section 341 by displaying the variation of decorative patterns, the pattern display section 341 can be made to display the specific information at the same time. As a result, the player's interest in the variable game can be enhanced by displaying the specific information.

Here, FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view along the X2-X2 section line in FIG. 8, and FIG. 10B is a section along the X3-X3 section line in FIG. FIG. 10C is a cross-sectional view taken along line X3-X3 in FIG. 8 when the stopper portion 383 is at the lower limit position. Hereinafter, the configuration of the game ball retention portion 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 8 in addition to FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 6, 8, and 10, the game ball retention section 38 retains, for a specific period, game balls 99 that enter the special out ball opening 373. The retention lane 381 , a discharge lane 382 and a stopper portion 383 .

The staying lane 381 receives the game ball 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 and allows the game ball 99 to stay. The stay lane 381 is open at the top and slopes downward to the left. The retention lane 381 has a depth dimension smaller than the diameter of the game ball, and at least part of the game ball 99 retained in the retention lane 381 is visible (see FIG. 4). As a result, it is possible to visually recognize that the game balls 99 are retained in the retention lane 381, and the number of the retained game balls 99, that is, the number of the game balls 99 that have entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 within a specific period. The number of game balls 99 can be visually recognized. In addition, it is preferable that the retention lane 381 is formed transparently with resin or the like. By doing so, it becomes easy to grasp the number of game balls 99 retained in the retention lane 381 . Instead of or in addition to making the game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381 visible, the number of the game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381 may be displayed. The display of the number of game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381 may be, for example, the number of lit lamps, image display in the symbol display section 341, or the like.

The discharge lane 382 continues to the left end of the staying lane 381, and guides the game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381 to a predetermined position, for example, a position detectable by the out ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12).

A special out-ball sensor 384 is provided in the discharge lane 382 . This special out ball sensor 384 detects when the game ball 99 staying in the staying lane 381 moves through the discharge lane 382 . That is, the special out ball sensor 384 counts the number of game balls 99 staying in the staying lane 381, that is, the number of special out balls entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 within a specific period. used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the special out-ball sensor 384 is connected to the MPU 41 of the main control device 4, and the output from the special out-ball sensor 384 is monitored by the MPU 41 so that the MPU 41 It is determined whether or not the game ball 99 has moved through the discharge lane 382 . Further, the MPU 41 sets a special out ball detection command when the game ball 99 is detected by the special out ball sensor 384, and outputs this special out ball detection command to the external output of step S1301 in the main processing of FIG. It is sent to the audio lamp controller 5 in processing. On the other hand, when the voice lamp control device 5 receives the special out ball detection command, the MPU 51 counts the number of special out balls, and based on the number of special out balls and the set value, the 7-segment display unit 39 displays Control the contents (see command determination processing in FIG. 37 and setting value suggestion processing in FIG. 40).

As the special out ball sensor 384, for example, an electromagnetic induction type proximity sensor is used, but the game ball 99 may be detected by another detection method (for example, an optical sensor). Also, the special out ball sensor 384 may be connected to the audio ramp control device 5 . In this case, the MPU 41 of the main controller 4 does not set the special out ball detection command, but the sound lamp controller 5 counts the number of special out balls based on the output from the special out ball sensor 384 .

The stopper part 383 is provided between the retention lane 381 and the discharge lane 382, and is moved up and down between the upper limit position and the lower limit position by driving means such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 31. . The upper limit position is a position where the tip portion protrudes upward, and the game ball 99 can be retained in the retention lane 381 by the stopper portion 383 being at the upper limit position (see FIG. 10(B)). On the other hand, the lower limit position is a position where the tip portion does not protrude upward, and the game ball 99 in the retention lane 381 can be discharged through the discharge lane 382 by the stopper portion 383 being at the lower limit position (Fig. 10(C)). Then, the game ball 99 guided to the discharge lane 382 is guided to a position detectable by the out ball sensor 318a (see FIG. 12).

The means for enabling the game balls 99 to stay in the staying lane 381 and discharging the game balls 99 in the staying lane 381 to the discharge lane 382 is not limited to the vertically movable stopper portion 383. Other means such as a stopper portion that can be rotated between the upright state and the prone state may also be used. In addition, the game ball 99 may be retained by preventing the game ball 99 from moving due to the action of the magnetic force or the electromagnetic force, and the game ball 99 may be ejected by canceling the action of the magnetic force or the electromagnetic force. . Furthermore, by making the retention lane 381 vertically movable, it is possible to realize a state in which the game ball 99 is retained and a state in which the game ball 99 is discharged. For example, by making the stay lane 381 stand by at a lower position than the discharge lane 382, the game balls 99 are retained, and by moving the stay lane 381 to a higher position than the discharge lane 382, the game balls 99 are moved to the discharge lane 382. may be configured to shift to. In addition, the game board 31 is provided with an opening from which the game ball 99 can be discharged to the back side of the game board 31, and a position where the game ball 99 can be retained in the retention lane 381 and the game board 31 from the opening. The retention lane 381 may be configured to be movable up and down between a position at which it can be discharged to the rear side of the . Also, by moving a box-shaped movable body instead of the retention lane 381, a state in which the game ball 99 can be retained in the movable body and a state in which the game ball 99 can be discharged to the back side of the game board 31 are realized. It is also possible.

Here, FIG. 11(A) is a diagram showing an example of the 7-segment display section 39 provided on the game board 31 shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. FIG. 11C is a diagram showing a display example of alphabets on the 7-segment display section.

As shown in FIG. 11A, the 7-segment display section 39 consists of 7 segments A to G and a dot point DP. Each segment A to G and dot point DP can be turned on and off individually, and at least numbers 1 to 6 as shown in FIG. 11(B) and at least A to The alphabet of F can be displayed. In this embodiment, the 7-segment display unit 39 has a plurality of (six) game settings corresponding to the jackpot probability (see FIGS. 14A and 14B) that the jackpot lottery results in a jackpot. A plurality of (five) game set values (non-set values) other than the game set values (set values (predetermined numerical information)) set to define the jackpot probability in the game machine 10 from the value (numerical information) (Specific numerical information)) are displayed numerically by lighting or extinguishing of the segments A to G. Specifically, in the 7-segment display section 39, when the non-set value is the game set value 1, the number 1 is displayed by lighting the segments B and C, and the non-set value is the game set value. When the number is 2, the segments A, B, D, E and G are lit to display the number 2, and when the non-set value is the game set value 3, the segments A to D and G are lit. When the non-set value is the game set value 4, the segments B, C, F and G are lit to display the number 4, and the non-set value is the game set value. If the value is 5, the segments A, C, D, F, and G are illuminated to display the number 5, and if the non-set value is the game set value 6, the segments A, C to G are displayed. The number 6 is displayed by being lit. Further, in the present embodiment, the dot point DP is illuminated at the stage when the number corresponding to the non-set value is displayed to clearly indicate that the number corresponding to the non-set value has been displayed.

Also, the numbers corresponding to the non-set values in the 7-segment display section 39 are displayed in the order determined when the main power is turned on (when the power is turned on) or when the set values are changed, as will be described later (Figs. 36). Also, as will be described later, the control order of lighting or extinguishing of the segments A to G of the 7-segment display unit 39 is set to segment A, segment B, segment C, segment D, segment E, segment F, and segment G ( fixed).

Then, in the 7-segment display section 39, a segment corresponding to the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 during a predetermined period (the number of specific conditions satisfied during the predetermined period) is displayed as described later. is controlled to be turned on and off, and a number or a part of the number is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 . Here, the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display portion 39 indicate non-set values other than the set values after the game set values. Therefore, part of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 does not indicate game set values, but indicates part of specific information indicating non-set values, and corresponds to special information. . In other words, the special information is displayed using part of the plurality of segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39. FIG. In this way, not only the number indicating the non-set value but also a part of the number (special information) is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, so that the player can see the number displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. Not only can the non-set value be specified in the case, but also the non-set value can be guessed based on part of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 . Therefore, even if the numbers are not displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, the non-set value can be guessed based on a part of the numbers and enjoyed, so that the amusement of the game is improved.

In the 7-segment display section 39, whether or not each of the segments A to G is to be controlled may or may not be clearly indicated to the player. If it is clearly indicated that each of the segments A to G is to be controlled, it becomes easier to guess the set values than when it is not indicated. In this embodiment, since the control order of each segment A to G is fixed, it is not clearly stated that each segment A to G is a control target, and a method that makes it difficult to guess the setting value is adopted. It is When clearly indicating to the player that each of the segments A to G is to be controlled, for example, by blinking the segment to be controlled, the player is clearly informed that the segment is to be controlled. It is conceivable to clearly indicate to the player that the segment is to be controlled by lighting it in a color different from the case where the segment is lit.

Further, in the 7-segment display section 39, the information for specifying the non-set value may be displayed in alphabetical characters corresponding to the non-set value. For example, when the non-set value is the game set value 1, the alphabet A is displayed, when the non-set value is the game set value 2, the alphabet B is displayed, and the non-set value is the game set value 3. When the non-set value is the game set value 4, the alphabet D is displayed, and when the non-set value is the game set value 5, the alphabet E is displayed and the non-set value is the game setting value 6, it is conceivable that the letter F is displayed (see FIG. 11(C)).

The variation pattern command is a command for notifying the variation display time and the lottery result of the big win lottery to the voice lamp control device 5, and includes information on the type of big win when the lottery result of the big win lottery is a big win. The variation pattern command is set at step S1605 in the variation start process of FIG. be. Note that the variation pattern command may be a command for notifying the audio lamp control device 5 of only the variation display time. In this case, the command for notifying the lottery result of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type to the sound lamp control device 5 is set as a command different from the variation pattern command.

When the number of reservations N or the number of reservations M stored in the reservation storage area 412b described later increases, the first reservation command and the second reservation command are the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the increased reservation, the variation pattern, and This command notifies the audio lamp control device 5 of the number of holds N or the number of holds M. FIG. The first pending command and the second pending command are set based on information stored in a pending storage area 412b to be described later when the pending number N or the pending number M is increased (see FIG. 22 to be described later). step S1207 or step S1209 of the first pending command setting process).

The shift command indicates the lottery result of the jackpot lottery in the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area REA4 or the first reservation area REB1 to the fourth reservation area REB4 when the reservation number N or the reservation number M decreases. This command notifies the audio lamp control device 5 that the pass/fail information has been shifted. The shift command is set in step S1508 in the data setting process of FIG. 25, which will be described later.

The jackpot game start command is a command for notifying the sound lamp control device 5 that the jackpot game starts, that is, the game state shifts to the jackpot game state. is set in the game state transition processing in the main processing of . In addition, since the jackpot game start command is a command for notifying the voice lamp control device 5 that the jackpot game starts, the jackpot game is started by the voice lamp control device 5 receiving the jackpot game start command. It is possible to grasp not only that, but also that the opening will start. However, an opening start command may be set separately from the jackpot start command, and the sound lamp control device 5 may recognize that the opening is started by the opening start command.

The round game start command is a command to start each round game in the opening and closing execution mode in the jackpot game, and to notify the sound lamp control device 5 of round number information indicating what round the round game is. , It is set in the jackpot game control process in the main process of FIG. 23 to be described later. In the sound lamp control device 5, it is possible to grasp that the opening is finished by the round game start command and the opening/closing execution mode is started. Alternatively, the opening/closing execution mode start command may be set when the opening/closing execution mode starts. In addition to the round game start command, a command indicating the number of rounds of the round game to be started may be set at the start of the round game, and the command may be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 5 .

The round game end command is a command for notifying the sound lamp control device 5 of ending the round game in the opening/closing execution mode in the jackpot game, and is set in the jackpot game control process in the main process of FIG. 23 described later. be.

The jackpot game end command is a command for notifying the sound lamp control device 5 that the jackpot game ends, and is set in the jackpot game control process in the main process of FIG. 23 described later.

The special out ball detection command is a command indicating that the game ball detected by the special out ball sensor 384 is a special out ball entering the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37, and is shown in FIG. It is set in the sensor detection process of step S1001 in the main timer interrupt process. The sound lamp control device 5 counts the number of special out balls in a predetermined period based on the special out ball detection command, and determines the control contents of the 7-segment display section 39 .

The set value change command is a command for notifying the sound lamp control device 5 that the set value has been changed and the changed set value, and is set in step S1710 in the set value change process of FIG. 27 described later. .

Commands other than the commands described above may be output from the main control device 4 to the sound lamp control device 5, but the description thereof will be omitted.

The main control unit 4 also includes an oscillator circuit, a frequency dividing circuit, and the like as means for supplying an operation clock to the MPU 41 . The oscillation circuit outputs a clock signal having a predetermined frequency, and the frequency dividing circuit changes the frequency of the clock signal output from the oscillation circuit and inputs it to the MPU 41 . Specifically, the execution cycle of main timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, executed by the MPU 41 is determined by the clock signal output from the frequency dividing circuit.

In this embodiment, a clock signal is supplied from the frequency dividing circuit to the MPU 41 at preset intervals (for example, 4 msec), and the MPU 41 performs a main timer interrupt (to be described later) each time the clock signal rises (or falls). It is assumed that the loading process is activated and executed. The oscillator circuit and the frequency divider circuit are also installed in the sub-control unit 332 and the peripheral control unit 140 as necessary, and supply the operating clocks of the main control units in the sub-control unit 332 and the peripheral control unit 140 . Also, a clock signal may be supplied from the main control unit 331 to the sub-control unit 332 and the peripheral control unit 140 .

A ROM 411 is a non-volatile storage unit in which control programs and parameter information are stored in advance. The RAM 412 is a volatile storage unit from which various information can be read and written, and is used as a primary storage area (work area) for processing executed by the MPU 41 . For example, the RAM 412 is used for setting commands to be sent to the audio lamp control device 5 and the like. Note that the RAM 412 may be a nonvolatile storage unit.

Here, with reference to FIG. 13, a storage area for the MPU 41 of the main controller 4 of the gaming machine 10 to perform a jackpot lottery will be described. Specifically, the MPU 41 uses the counter information stored in the lottery counter 412a of the RAM 412, the reservation storage area 412b, and the electrician reservation area 412c to set the jackpot lottery and the variable display time.

The lottery counter 412a includes a jackpot random number counter C1 used for jackpot winning lottery, a jackpot type counter C2 used when judging the jackpot type, and a reach random number counter C3 used when judging the losing type. included. In addition, the lottery counter 412a includes a random number initial value counter CIN1 used to set the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1, and a variation type counter CS1 that determines the variation display time in the main display section 36 and the pattern display section 341. be Further, in the lottery counter 412a, the normal winning random number counter C4 used for the lottery to determine whether or not the electric accessory 315b of the second prize winning opening 315 is to be in the open state, and the initial value of the normal winning random number counter C4 are set. and a normal winning initial value counter CIN2 used for . Hereinafter, when these multiple types of counters are collectively described, they will simply be abbreviated as counters.

The counters C1 to C4, CIN1, CIN2 and CS1 are used as loop counters in which the MPU 41 adds 1 to the previous value at short time intervals and returns to 0 after reaching a preset maximum value. Updated values are recorded in the counters C1 to C4, CIN1, CIN2, and CS1, and are referred to by the MPU 41 when setting the jackpot lottery and variable display time.

The reserved storage area 412b comprises a first reserved storage area REA, a second reserved storage area REB, and an execution area AE. The first reserved storage area REA includes a first reserved area REA1, a second reserved area REA2, a third reserved area REA3, a fourth reserved area REA4, and a reserved number storage area NAA. Hereinafter, a big hit lottery is performed based on each value stored in the first reservation storage area REA, and the type of the variable game that the first special symbol display unit 362 performs variable display and stop display is referred to as a first special symbol game. Sometimes. The second reserved storage area REB includes a first reserved area REB1, a second reserved area REB2, a third reserved area REB3, a fourth reserved area REB4, and a reserved number storage area NAB. Hereinafter, a big hit lottery is performed based on each value stored in the second reserved storage area REB, and the type of the variable game that the second special symbol display unit 363 performs variable display and stop display is referred to as a second special symbol game. Sometimes.

When the game ball enters the first winning hole 314, the information corresponding to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 stored in the RAM 412 is a jackpot. It is acquired as success/failure information used in the lottery, and stored in one of the first reservation area REA1 to fourth reservation area REA4 of the first reservation storage area REA. Further, when the game ball enters the second winning hole 315, the information corresponding to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the fluctuation type counter CS1 stored in the RAM 412 is a jackpot. It is acquired as success/failure information used in the lottery, and stored in any one of the first reservation area REB1 to the fourth reservation area REB4 of the second reservation storage area REB. The acquisition process of the right/fail information is executed by the MPU 41 functioning as the determination means of the present invention by executing the process according to the control program. In addition, corresponding to each of the first reservation storage area REA and the second reservation storage area REB, the lottery counter 412a (jackpot random number counter C1, jackpot type counter C2, reach random number counter C3, and variation type counter CS1, etc.) are individually may be provided in

Thus, in the gaming machine 10, in addition to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3, the variation type counter CS1 is the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area of the first reservation storage area REA. It is stored in one of the first reserved area REB1 to the fourth reserved area REB4 of the REA4 and the second reserved storage area REB.

Therefore, the variation game executed based on the success/failure information stored in the first reservation area REA1 to fourth reservation area REA4 and the first reservation area REB1 to fourth reservation area REB4 of the second reservation storage area REB 19 In addition to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, it is possible to determine in advance the variation pattern (variation display time) of the symbol variation display displayed on the symbol display section 341 .

Specifically, when a game ball enters the first winning hole 314, the success/failure information is vacant in the order of priority of the first reservation area REA1, the second reservation area REA2, the third reservation area REA3, and the fourth reservation area REA4. stored in the area where In the reservation number storage area NAA, the number of the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area REA4 in which the success/failure information is stored is stored as the reservation number N.

Also, when a game ball enters the second winning hole 315, the success/failure information is vacant in the order of priority of the first reservation area REB1, the second reservation area REB2, the third reservation area REB3, and the fourth reservation area REB4. Stored in the area. In the reservation number storage area NAB, the number of the first reservation area REB1 to the fourth reservation area REB4 for which the success/failure information is stored is stored as the reservation number M.

That is, in the gaming machine 10, a total of eight storage areas corresponding to the maximum number of reservations in the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area REA4 and the first reservation area REB1 to the fourth reservation area REB4, the first winning port 314 And it is possible to reserve up to four pieces of winning/failing information as a winning history to the second winning hole 315, respectively.

In addition, it is conceivable as another embodiment that the first winning port 314 and the second winning port 315 are provided with a holding area with a maximum number of holdings of eight, and even in this case, the maximum number of holdings is eight It is possible to reserve win/fail information as a prize history. The processing for storing the win/fail information is executed by the MPU 41 by executing processing according to the control program.

The execution area AE is the first reserved area REA1 of the first reserved storage area REA or the first reserved area REB1 of the second reserved storage area REB when the symbol variation display on the main display unit 36 and the symbol display unit 341 is started. This is a storage area used to move the win/fail information stored in the . Specifically, the validity information in the first reserved area REB1 of the second reserved storage area REB is preferentially moved to the execution area AE, and the validity information does not exist in the first reserved area REB1 of the second reserved storage area REB. When the pending number storage area NAB is 0, the success/failure information in the first pending area REA1 of the first pending storage area REA is moved to the execution area AE.

The difference between the pending number M stored in the pending number storage area NAA of the first pending storage area REA and the pending number N stored in the pending number storage area NAB of the second pending storage area REB is 2 or more. , it is also conceivable as another embodiment that the value of the holding area with the larger number is preferentially moved to the execution area AE. In another embodiment, the success/failure information of the first reserved area REA1 of the first reserved storage area REA and the first reserved area REB1 of the second reserved storage area REB are alternately moved to the execution area AE.

Then, at the start of one variation game, the MPU 41 performs a big hit lottery based on the numerical information stored as the success/failure information in the execution area AE. At this time, if the first reservation area REA1 of the first reservation storage area REA is moved to the execution area AE, the winning/failure information stored in the second reservation area REA2 is shifted to the first reservation area REA1, and is transferred to the third reservation area REA1. The success/failure information stored in the reservation area REA3 is shifted to the second reservation area REA2, and the success/failure information stored in the fourth reservation area REA4 is shifted to the third reservation area REA3.

Similarly, when the first reservation area REB1 of the second reservation storage area REB is moved to the execution area AE, the win/fail information stored in the second reservation area REB2 is shifted to the first reservation area REB1, and is transferred to the third reservation area REB1. The success/failure information stored in the area REB3 is shifted to the second reservation area REB2, and the success/failure information stored in the fourth reservation area REB4 is shifted to the third reservation area REB3.

The jackpot random number counter C1 is, for example, incremented one by one within the range of 0 to 637, and returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CIN1 at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CIN1 is a loop counter updated within the same range (0 to 738) as the jackpot random number counter C1. The jackpot random number counter C1 is periodically updated and stored in the reserve storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first prize winning port 314 or the second prize winning port 315.例文帳に追加

The value of the random number for winning the jackpot is set in two types corresponding to the low probability mode and the high probability mode, which is the probability variable gaming state, by the success/failure table stored in the success/failure table storage area of the ROM 411 . Here, FIG. 14A is a diagram showing an example of a low-probability mode validity table corresponding to the low-probability mode, and FIG. 14B is a diagram showing an example of a high-probability mode validity table corresponding to the high-probability mode.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the low-probability mode success/failure table and the high-probability mode success/failure table each have a probability that the lottery results of the jackpot lottery will result in a big win (jackpot probability) as a game set value. A plurality of hit/fail tables are provided which are different depending on the situation. The low-probability mode success/failure table and the high-probability mode success/failure table each include six success/failure tables corresponding to game set values 1 to 6 in six stages. In the order of game set value 6, game set value 5, game set value 3, game set value 2, and game set value 1, the lottery result in the big lottery has a high jackpot probability and is advantageous to the player.

There are 821 (0 to 820) probability mode propriety tables. That is, at the game setting value 1, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is about 1/318.1 (206/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high-probability mode is about four times as high as in the low-probability mode, which is about 1/79. 9 (820/65536).

At the game setting value 2, out of 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535, the number of random numbers with which the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a big hit is 212 (0 to 211) for the low probability mode success/failure table, and 212 (0 to 211) for the high probability mode. There are 845 (0 to 844) probability mode propriety tables. That is, at the game setting value 2, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is about 1/309.1 (212/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high-probability mode is about four times as high as in the low-probability mode, which is about 1/77. 6 (845/65536).

At the game setting value 3, out of 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535, the number of random numbers with which the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a big hit is 218 (0 to 217) for the low probability mode success/failure table, and 218 (0 to 217) for the high probability mode. There are 869 (0 to 868) probability mode propriety tables. That is, at the game setting value 3, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is about 1/300.6 (218/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high-probability mode is about four times that in the low-probability mode, which is about 1/75. 4 (869/65536).

At the game setting value 4, out of 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535, the number of random numbers with which the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a big hit is 224 (0 to 223) for the low probability mode success/failure table, and 224 (0 to 223) for the high probability mode. There are 893 (0 to 892) probability mode propriety tables. That is, at the game set value 4, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is about 1/292.6 (224/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high-probability mode is about four times that in the low-probability mode, which is about 1/73. 4 (893/65536).

At the game setting value 5, out of 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535, the number of random numbers with which the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a big hit is 230 (0 to 229) for the low probability mode success/failure table, and 230 (0 to 229) for the high probability mode. There are 917 (0 to 916) probability mode propriety tables. That is, at the game setting value 5, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is about 1/284.9 (230/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high-probability mode is about four times as high as in the low-probability mode, which is about 1/71. 5 (917/65536).

At the game set value 6, out of 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535, the number of random numbers with which the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a big hit is 236 (0 to 235) for the low probability mode success/failure table, and 236 (0 to 235) for the high probability mode. There are 941 (0 to 940) probability mode propriety tables. That is, at the game setting value 6, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is about 1/277.7 (236/65536), and the jackpot probability in the high-probability mode is about four times as high as in the low-probability mode, which is about 1/69. 6 (941/65536).

If the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is other than those random numbers for winning the jackpot, the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is lost.

Here, in the low-probability mode success/failure table and the high-probability mode success/failure table, it is also considered that the random numbers that result in a big win are common to the lottery results of the jackpot lottery between the same game set values, but that the random numbers that result in a big win are not common. be done. Also, the random numbers for winning the jackpot may not be continuous values, but may be partially or wholly discrete values.

In addition, six low-probability mode success/failure tables and six high-probability mode success/failure tables are provided according to game setting values in six stages, but at least one success/failure table for each mode is sufficient. In other words, the game set values are not limited to six levels. It is also conceivable to provide a plurality of low-probability mode success/failure tables corresponding to game set values in multiple stages, and to provide one high-probability mode success/failure table. That is, it is conceivable to provide a plurality of stages of game setting values for the low probability mode, and not to provide stepwise game setting values for the high probability mode, thereby making the jackpot probability uniform. Of course, the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode may be made uniform, and game setting values of multiple stages may be provided for the high-probability mode.

The jackpot type counter C2 is incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 19, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The jackpot type counter C2 is periodically updated, and stored in the reserve storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning hole 314 or the second winning hole 315.例文帳に追加In the gaming machine 10, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to each of two jackpot types, ie, variable jackpot and normal jackpot, is set by the distribution table stored in the distribution table storage area of the ROM 411.

Here, FIG. 14C is a diagram showing an example of the allocation table. In the example shown in FIG. 14 (C), when the type of variable game is the first special symbol game triggered by winning the first winning hole 314, the number of random numbers to be the 5R probability variable jackpot is 10 of 0 to 9 The number of random numbers for the 16R probability variable jackpot is 5, 10 to 14, and the number of random numbers for the 5R normal jackpot is 5, 15 to 19. On the other hand, if the type of the variable game is the second special symbol game triggered by winning the second winning hole 315, the number of random numbers to be the 5R probability variable jackpot is five of 0 to 4, and the 16R probability variable jackpot and The number of the fourth random numbers is 5 to 14, which is 10, and the number of random numbers that are 5R normal jackpots is 5, which is 15 to 19. That is, the gaming machine 10 is a so-called loop definite variable machine in which the probability of the definite variable jackpot in the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game is the same. Also, in the gaming machine 10, the probability of the 16R probability variable jackpot in the second special symbol game is set higher than in the first special symbol game. That is, in the variable game state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode with a high probability of opening the electric role product 315b), the time saving game state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode) and normal game state (low probability mode and electric role Compared to the low-frequency support mode in which the probability of opening the object 315b is low), the expected value of acquisition of the game ball is set high when the lottery result in the big win lottery is a big win.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first winning opening 314 that triggers the execution of the first special symbol game by winning, and the second winning opening 315 that triggers the execution of the second special symbol game by winning are individually shaken. A minute table is set, and the distribution probability of the jackpot type differs depending on whether the game ball wins in the first winning port 314 or the second winning port 315, but the first special symbol game and the second special symbol It is also conceivable that the distribution probability of the jackpot type is the same in the game. In addition, the game machine 10 is not limited to a loop variable machine, but may be configured as a so-called ST machine, a V-ST machine, a one-two type mixing machine, or the like.

Then, based on the values of the jackpot random number counter C1 and the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE, the MPU 41 determines that the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are "5R probability variable jackpot", "16R probability variable jackpot", "5R normal It is determined whether it is a big hit or a loss.

Here, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 5R probability variable jackpot or a 5R normal jackpot, an opening/closing execution mode is executed in which a round game in which the variable prize winning port 316 is opened is repeated five times in the jackpot game. Further, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 16R probability variable jackpot, an open/close execution mode is executed in which round games are repeated 16 times in the jackpot game.

In the case of a 5R probability variable jackpot or a 16R probability variable jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, the machine shifts to a probability variable game state which is a high probability mode with a high probability of winning a jackpot and a high frequency support mode with a high probability of opening an electric accessory 315b. In this embodiment, the variable probability gaming state continues until the MPU 41 determines that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is "5R variable probability big win", "16R probability variable big win" or "5R normal big win".

On the other hand, in the case of the 5R normal jackpot, after the jackpot game ends, the game shifts to a time-saving game state, which is a low-probability mode with a low jackpot winning probability and a high-frequency support mode with a high opening probability of the electric accessory 315b. In this embodiment, the time-saving game state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode) informs the player of the lottery result of the jackpot lottery of a predetermined number of times such as 50 times, 100 times, etc. The game continues until the game is completed, or ends when the player is told that the lottery result of the lottery for the big win is a big win before the specified number of times has passed.

By the way, when the gaming machine 10 is configured as an ST machine or a V-ST machine instead of a loop variable machine, after the jackpot game at the time of the variable probability big hit is completed, a preset specified number of times (for example, 50 times, 100 times) jackpot If the lottery is executed in the variable probability game state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode) and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery does not become a big hit before the specified number of times has passed, the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode), and the high-frequency support mode ends. In addition, it is also possible to perform a falling lottery from the probability variation gaming state to the time saving gaming state or the normal gaming state in the variable game as another embodiment. It should be noted that, if the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out, it is not shifted to the jackpot game state and the time-saving game state. In the present embodiment, a case where the gaming machine 10 has three kinds of jackpot types, 5R probability variable jackpot, 16R probability variable jackpot, and 5R normal jackpot, will be described as an example. It is also conceivable to have other jackpot types, such as Round Regular Jackpot, 16R Regular Jackpot.

Also, the reach random number counter C3 is incremented by 1 in sequence within the range of 0 to 238, for example, and is returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and is stored in the reserve storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning hole 314 or the second winning hole 315.例文帳に追加

In the gaming machine 10, the reach random number counter C3 selects the type of stop result of the variable display displayed on the symbol display section 341 when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a loss. Specifically, according to the loss type table stored in the loss type table storage area in the ROM 411, after the occurrence of the reach, the final stop symbol shifts to the front and back of the reach symbol by one and stops, and the reach is also generated. The value of the ready-to-win random number counter C3 is set for each of three kinds of loss types, namely, the ready-to-win except before and after the final stop pattern stops before and after the ready-to-win pattern, and the complete loss in which the ready-to-win does not occur.

Here, FIG. 14D is a diagram showing an example of the exclusion type table. In the example shown in FIG. 14 (D), the value of the random number that becomes the front and back reach is 0 to 8, the value of the random number that becomes the reach other than the front and back is 9 to 38, and the value of the random number that becomes complete deviation is 39. ~238. In addition, the MPU 41 judges reach generation regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3 in a variable game in which a 5R probability variable jackpot, a 16R probability variable jackpot or a 5R normal jackpot is won, that is, a variable game shifting to the opening/closing execution mode.

Here, the ready-to-win indicates a state in which a symbol combination of decoration symbols indicating that a jackpot has been won is likely to occur during the period from the start of the variable display of the symbols in the symbol display section 341 to the stop display of the symbols. It is a variable state where In one example, the same symbol is stopped and displayed at two of the three stop positions on the active line in the symbol display section 341, and the displayed symbol corresponding to the remaining one stop position fluctuates. In addition, during the change state of the reach in the pattern display section 341, a story production process in which a moving image of a predetermined character or the like is displayed to suggest the degree of expectation, or a game in which the operation of the operation button 20 by the player is reflected in the production. A person-participation type operation rendering process and the like are executed. It is conceivable that the variable display in the symbol display section 341 may be hidden, or may be displayed in a reduced or enlarged size during execution of these rendering processes.

The electric accessory release counter C4 is, for example, incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 250, and returned to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The electric accessory release counter C4 is periodically updated, and stored in the electric role holding area 412c in the RAM 412 at the timing when the game ball wins the through gate 317. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to open the electric role product 315b for a predetermined time based on the value of the electric role product opening counter C4 stored in the electric role holding area 412c. For example, when the electric accessory open counter C4 is 0 to 199, it is possible to win, and when the electric accessory open counter C4 is 200 to 250, it is possible to lose.

The fluctuation type counter CS1 is incremented by one within a range of 0 to 199, for example, and reset to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Specifically, the variation type counter CS1 determines the variation pattern type (variation display time) of the symbol variation display displayed on the symbol display section 341 according to the lottery result of the big win lottery. In this way, by determining the variation pattern type, the sound ramp control device 5 provides rough variation game effects such as high-speed variation effects (basic effects, non-reach effects), normal reach effects, super reach effects, and special reach effects. The type is determined according to the variation pattern type (variation display time). The fluctuation type counter CS1 is updated once each time a main process described later is executed by the MPU 41, and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process. Further, the value of the variation type counter CS1 is stored in the reservation storage area 412b at the timing when the game ball wins the first winning opening 314 or the second winning opening 315.

Then, the MPU 41 determines a variation pattern indicating the variation display time based on the variation type counter CS1 and a preset variation table. Specifically, the MPU 41 identifies the type of variation pattern while referring to a normal jackpot variation table, a probability variable jackpot variation table, or an off variation table stored in advance in the variation table storage area of the ROM 411 . Note that these variation tables may be separately provided for each of the low-probability mode and the high-probability mode. Further, the probability variable jackpot variation table may be separately provided for each of the 5R probability variable jackpot and the 16R probability variable jackpot.

Here, FIGS. 15(A), 15(B) and 15(C) are diagrams showing an example of a normal jackpot fluctuation table, a probability variable jackpot fluctuation table and a loss fluctuation table. As shown in FIGS. 15 (A), 15 (B) and 15 (C), in the normal jackpot fluctuation table, the probability variable jackpot fluctuation table and the outlier fluctuation table, the fluctuation pattern is preset according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1. are mapped. Then, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is "5R normal jackpot", the MPU 41 is a normal jackpot variation table, and when the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot" or "16R probability variable jackpot", the probability variable jackpot fluctuation table, the lottery. If the result is "outside", each outage variation table is referenced to specify the type of variation pattern.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15(A) and 15(B), in the normal jackpot fluctuation table and the probability variable jackpot fluctuation table, the fluctuation pattern "01" to "03" according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1 is selected. Here, when the variation pattern "01" is selected, the sound lamp control device 5 determines a normal reach effect pattern with a variation display time of 30 seconds as the variation type (effect pattern type), and the normal reach effect pattern is displayed in the symbol display section 341. is executed. The normal reach production pattern is a production pattern in which the final individual production type in the variable game production is the normal reach production. Further, when the variation pattern "02" is selected, the sound lamp control device 5 determines a super ready-to-win production pattern with a variable display time of 60 seconds as the variation type (production pattern type), pattern is executed. The super ready-to-win production pattern is a production pattern in which the final individual production type in the variable game production is the super ready-to-win production. Further, when the variation pattern "03" is selected, the sound lamp control device 5 determines the special reach effect pattern with the longest variation display time of 90 seconds as the variation type (effect pattern), A production pattern is executed. The special reach production pattern is a production pattern in which the final individual production type in the variable game production is the special reach production.

As shown in FIG. 15(C), in the loss variation table, the variation type counter CS1 and the corresponding relationship with the variation pattern is defined. More specifically, when the stop type at the time of deviation is front-rear out-of-reach reach or front-rear out-of-rear reach, one of the variation patterns "01" to "03" is selected according to the value of the variation type counter CS1. . On the other hand, when the stop type at the time of deviation is complete deviation, either variation pattern "04" or "05" is selected according to the value of the variation type counter CS1. When the variation pattern "04" is selected, the sound lamp control device 5 determines a non-reach effect pattern (non-reach effect pattern) with a variable display time of 7 seconds as the variation type (effect pattern type) and displays the pattern. In the part 341, a non-reach effect pattern is executed. Further, when the variation pattern "05" is selected, the voice lamp control device 5 determines a non-reach performance pattern (non-reach performance pattern) with a variable display time of 10 seconds as the variation type (performance pattern type), and displays the pattern. In the part 341, a non-reach effect pattern is executed.

For example, in the gaming machine 10, as the variation display at the time of failure corresponding to the variation pattern "04", the variation display is stopped without a notice effect such as displaying a character, message, etc. is executed. In addition, in the game machine 10, as the variation display at the time of failure corresponding to the variation pattern "05", there is a variation display of the failure pattern in which the variation display is stopped with a symbol, accompanied by an advance notice effect in which characters, messages, etc. are displayed. executed. Further, when the variation display at the time of loss corresponding to the variation pattern "05" is performed, a player-participation type operation effect reflecting the operation of the operation button 20 by the player may be executed as an advance notice effect.

Note that the types of fluctuation patterns are not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 15(A), 15(B) and 15(C). Further, the probability variable jackpot variation table may be separately provided for each of the 5R probability variable jackpot and the 16R probability variable jackpot.

For example, in the gaming machine 10, a plurality of types of normal reach effects with different characters, stories, etc. are prepared as the normal reach effects executed in the normal reach effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern "01", and any one of them is selected. A normal reach effect is executed.

Similarly, in the gaming machine 10, a plurality of types of super ready-to-win effects with different characters, stories, etc. are prepared as super ready-to-win effects to be executed in the super ready-to-win effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern "02", and a selection is made from among them. Any Super Reach effect that has been done is executed. The super reach effect is a reach effect with a longer fluctuation time than the normal reach effect, and the probability (expectation) that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot is higher than the normal reach effect, and the jackpot is won more than the special reach effect. Executed when suggesting to the player that the probability (expectation) is low.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 10, a plurality of types of special ready-to-win effects with different characters, stories, etc. are prepared as special ready-to-win effects to be executed in the special ready-to-win effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern "03". Any of the special reach effects that have been performed are executed. The special ready-to-win effect is a ready-to-win effect with a longer fluctuation time than the normal ready-to-win effect, and is an effect developed from, for example, the normal ready-to-win effect or the super ready-to-win effect. The special reach effect is executed when suggesting to the player that the probability (expectation) of winning the jackpot is higher than in the normal reach effect and the special reach effect.

Note that the effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern includes an operation effect in which the state of operation of the operation button 20 by the player is reflected in the effect, for example, a single operation effect in which a single operation is reflected in the effect, and an operation of the operation button 20 by the player. A player-participation type operation effect such as a repeated hitting operation effect in which repeated hitting operations are reflected in the effect, and a long-pressing operation effect in which the long-pressing operation of the operation button 20 by the player is reflected in the effect may be included.

Then, when the MPU 41 specifies the variation pattern indicating the variation display time by the first special symbol display portion 362 or the second special symbol display portion 363 and the symbol display portion 341 of the main display portion 36, the variation pattern and the jackpot lottery A variation pattern command indicating the result of the lottery is input to the sound lamp control device 5 . Specifically, when the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", the MPU 41 provides a variation pattern command " A01” to “A03” are output. In addition, when the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", the MPU 41 is a variation pattern command "B01" with "B" indicating that it is a 5R probability variable jackpot before the variation patterns "01" to "03". to output one of "B03". Further, when the lottery result is "16R probability variable jackpot", the variation pattern command "C01" with "C" indicating that it is a 16R probability variable jackpot before the variation patterns "01" to "03". to output one of "C03". In addition, when the lottery result is "loss", the MPU 41 generates variation pattern commands "D01" to "D05" in which "D" indicating failure is added before the variation patterns "01" to "05". output either Thereby, the sound lamp control device 5 can determine the variation pattern (variation display time) and the lottery result based on the variation pattern command. Determine the details of the variation mode such as the variation type and the effect type displayed in . Then, the sound lamp control device 5 causes the pattern display unit 341 to perform a variable display based on the details of the determined variable mode, reproduces the sound from the speaker 26 in accordance with the variable display, and lights and blinks the illumination unit 27. Or turn off the light.

As described above, in the gaming machine 10, the MPU 41 of the main controller 4 performs a simple process of determining the variation pattern (variation display time) based on the variation type counter CS1 and the variation table for the variation display on the symbol display unit 341. will be executed. Therefore, even if the MPU 41 of the gaming machine 10 is composed of an 8-bit microcomputer, the MPU 41 can stably execute the big winning lottery. Further, since the details of the variation mode actually displayed on the pattern display section 341 are determined by the sound lamp control device 5, it is possible to selectively execute various variation modes as the variation mode.

Here, FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing an example of the game information storage area 412d set in the RAM 412 in the MPU 41 of the main controller 4 of the gaming machine shown in FIG. The game information storage area 412d stores game information relating to game history, ball payout performance, and the like. In the present embodiment, the game information storage area 412d stores "out ball number", "general winning hole payout ball number", "first winning hole payout ball number", and "second winning hole payout ball number". ”, “Variable number of prize-winning balls paid out”, “Set value”, “Base information”, “Continuous role ratio information”, “Accessory ratio information”, “Accumulated jackpot lottery number”, “Unit jackpot lottery number”, "Big win count" and "Consecutive loss count" are stored. Among these game information, "setting value", "base information", "continuous role ratio information", "accessory ratio information", and "unit jackpot lottery number of times" are game information (performance information) related to ball output performance. correspond to

The "number of out balls" is an integrated value of the number of game balls shot to the game board 31 in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). This "number of out balls" is stored as a value obtained by counting out balls detected by the out ball sensor 318a in the sensor detection process of step S1001 in the main timer interrupt process of FIG. 20, which will be described later.

The "general winning hole payout ball number" is an integrated value of game balls paid out for winning to the general winning hole 313 in the normal game state (low-probability mode and low-frequency support mode). This "general winning hole payout number of balls" is set by the winning ball command setting in step S1303 in the main processing of FIG. When setting a prize ball command for causing the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the winning to the general prize opening 313 in the processing, the value is updated to the value obtained by adding the number of payout balls due to the current win. .

The "first winning hole payout ball number" is an integrated value of game balls paid out for winning to the first winning hole 314 in the normal game state (low-probability mode and low-frequency support mode). This "first winning hole payout number of balls" is determined by the number of winning balls in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. A value obtained by adding the number of payout balls for the current win when setting the prize ball command for causing the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the winning to the first winning hole 314 in the command setting process update to.

"Second winning hole payout ball number" is an integrated value of game balls paid out for winning to the second winning hole 315 in the time saving game state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode). This "number of balls to be paid out to the second winning hole" is determined when the ball sensor 315a detects the winning to the second winning hole 315 in the time-saving game state, and the prize balls in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. 23 to be described later. A value obtained by adding the number of payout balls due to the current win when setting the prize ball command for causing the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the winning to the second winning port 315 in the command setting process. update to.

The “variable winning hole payout ball number” is an integrated value of game balls paid out for winning to the variable winning hole 316 in the jackpot game state. This "variable winning hole payout number of balls" is set by a winning ball command setting in step S1303 in the main process of FIG. When setting the prize ball command for causing the payout control device 7 to pay out the number of prize balls according to the winning to the variable winning port 316 in the process, the value is updated by adding the number of payout balls due to the current win. .

The "set value" is for selecting the low probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(A)) and the high probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(B)) used in the jackpot lottery (determination of success/failure). In other words, the "set value" defines the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode and the high-probability mode. In this embodiment, as will be described later, six levels of setting values (six types of low probability mode success/failure tables with different jackpot probabilities (see FIG. 14(A)) and high probability mode success/failure tables (see FIG. 14(B))) is prepared. The "set value" is updated in the set value change process of FIG. 27, which will be described later.

"Base information" is information related to the "base" which is the payout rate (ball output rate) in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). is the ratio of the total number of payout balls of the "general winning opening payout ball number" and the "first winning opening payout ball number" to the total number of payout balls. If the "base" is represented by a mathematical formula, it is "base" = 100 x ("number of balls to be paid out to the general winning opening" + "number of balls to be paid out to the first winning opening") / "number of out balls". "Base information" includes information on the current base BL, the previous 60,000-ball base B1, and the two-previous 60,000-ball base B2. Here, the previous 60,000-ball base B1 and the second-last 60,000-ball base B2 are updated every time the number of out balls reaches 60,000 in the specific performance information update process in FIG. 28 (steps S1805 and S1806). Specifically, the "base" when the most recent number of out balls reaches 60,000 is the previous 60,000 ball base B1, and the "base" when the previous number of out balls reaches 60,000 is It is stored as "base information" in the game information storage area of the RAM 412 as the 60,000-ball base B2 before the previous one. Further, until the counter value of the number of out balls reaches 60000 balls, the current base BL is calculated (step S1804), and the current base BL is stored as "base information" in the game information storage area of the RAM412. In addition, when the current base BL is calculated until the counter value of the number of out balls reaches 60000 balls, the "base information" includes the previously described "general winning slot payout ball number" and "first winning slot Separately from the "number of payout balls" and "number of out balls", the "number of balls paid out in general winning opening", "number of balls paid out in first winning opening" and "number of out balls" for base calculation are stored.

In this embodiment, the "base information" includes "current base BL", "previous 60,000 ball base B1" and "previous 60,000 ball base B2", and the past two 60,000 ball bases are included in the history. However, the past three or more 60,000 ball bases may be left as a history. Further, the "base information" may include a cumulative base from when the gaming machine 10 was installed in the gaming hall up to the present.

"Continuous role ratio information" is the total number of balls paid out by winning to all the winning holes that pay out prize balls (general winning hole 313, first winning hole 314, second winning hole 315, and variable winning hole 316). , it is information about the "continuous accessory ratio", which is the ratio of the number of payout balls in the variable winning opening. If the "continuous role ratio" is represented by a formula, it is "continuous role ratio"=100*"variable number of payout balls"/"total number of payout balls". "Continuous role product ratio information" is updated, for example, in specific performance information update processing in FIG. 28, which will be described later. In the present embodiment, the "continuous role ratio information" is stored as the cumulative continuous role ratio from when the gaming machine 10 was installed in the game hall to the present. It should be noted that the "continuous role ratio information" is for a certain period of time (for example, for a certain number of jackpots (for example, 100 times), or for a period until a certain number of jackpot lotteries (for example, 1000 times) are executed in the normal game state. , a period until the number of out balls reaches a certain number (for example, 60,000 balls)). Of course, the "continuous role ratio information" may include both the cumulative continuous role ratio and the continuous role ratio over a certain number of periods.

"Character ratio information" is the total number of balls paid out by winning to all winning holes that pay out prize balls (general winning hole 313, first winning hole 314, second winning hole 315, and variable winning hole 316) , and "accessory ratio" which is the ratio of the total number of paid out balls of the number of paid out balls of the second winning opening and the number of paid out balls of the variable winning opening. Expressing the "role product ratio" as a mathematical formula, "role product ratio"=100×("number of balls to be paid out from the second winning opening"+"number of balls to be paid out from the variable winning opening")/"total number of balls to be paid out". The "accessory ratio information" is updated, for example, in the specific performance information update process of FIG. 28, which will be described later. In the present embodiment, the “accessory ratio information” is stored as the accumulated accessory ratio from the installation of the gaming machine 10 in the game hall up to the present. Note that the "accessory ratio information" is for a certain period of time (for example, for a certain number of jackpots (for example, 100 times), for a period until a certain number of jackpot lotteries (for example, 1000 times) are executed in the normal game state, It may be a role ratio to the number of out balls reaching a certain number (for example, 60,000 balls). Of course, the "continuous role product ratio information" may include both the cumulative role product ratio and the role product ratio for a certain number of periods.

The "cumulative number of jackpot lotteries" is the number of jackpot lotteries performed in the normal game state (low-probability mode and low-frequency support mode) from the start of the gaming machine 10 to the present before the opening of the game hall. number of times. In other words, the "cumulative jackpot lottery count" is the cumulative variation display in which the symbol variation display of the first special symbol display section 362 of the main display section 36 is executed with the winning of the first winning slot 314 in the normal game state as a trigger. It is also the number of times. The "cumulative jackpot lottery count" is incremented by one each time the symbol variation display on the main display unit 36 is started in step S1606 in the variation start process of FIG. 26, which will be described later. In addition, the “cumulative jackpot lottery count” is cleared from the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 when the main power source of the gaming machine 10 is turned off.

“Number of unit jackpot lotteries” is the number of times a jackpot lottery has been received (main The number of times the symbol variation display of the first special symbol display portion of the display portion 36 has been executed). In this embodiment, the fixed number is "250 balls", and the difference ball is the number of balls obtained by subtracting the "general winning opening payout ball number" and the "first winning opening payout ball number" from the "out ball number". In other words, the "unit jackpot lottery number of times" is the number of fluctuation display times of the first special symbol of the first special symbol display unit 362 with an average of 1000 yen (jackpot lottery number of times received). The "unit jackpot lottery count" may be the number of times a jackpot lottery is received per a certain number of "out balls" in the normal game state. The “unit jackpot lottery count” is updated in the specific performance information update process in FIG. 28, which will be described later. In the present embodiment, the “unit jackpot lottery count” is stored as the accumulated unit jackpot lottery count from the time the gaming machine 10 was installed in the game hall to the present. It should be noted that the "number of unit jackpot lotteries" is for a certain period of time (for example, for a certain number of jackpots (for example, 100 times), a period until a certain number of jackpot lotteries (for example, 1000 times) are executed in the normal game state, It may be for the period until the number of out balls reaches a certain number (for example, 60,000 balls). Of course, as the "unit jackpot lottery number", both the accumulated unit jackpot lottery number and the unit jackpot lottery number in a certain number of periods may be stored as game information.

The "number of big wins" is the number of times the lottery result of the big win lottery has been a big win since the game machine 10 was started before the opening of the game hall. The "number of big hits" is incremented by one each time the game state is shifted to the big win game state in the game state transition process executed in step S1306 in the main process of FIG. 23 described later. Also, the “number of times of big wins” is cleared from the game information storage area 412 d of the RAM 412 when the main power supply of the gaming machine 10 is turned off.

"Consecutive loss count" is the number of times the lottery results in the jackpot lottery have been lost continuously in the normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode), and when the lottery result is a jackpot, it is set to 0 times. cleared. The "number of consecutive failures" is the result of the success/failure determination based on the low-probability mode success/failure table in step S1603 when the symbol variation display on the main display unit 36 is started in step S1606 in the variation start processing of FIG. 26 described later. If it is out, it is incremented by 1, and if the result of the judgment is a jackpot, it is cleared to 0 times. In this embodiment, the “number of consecutive losses” is cleared from the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 when the main power source of the gaming machine 10 is turned off. Of course, the “number of consecutive failures” may not be cleared from the game information storage area 412d when the main power of the gaming machine 10 is turned off.

Returning to the description of FIG. 12, the performance information display device 4A displays "base information" and "setting values" stored as game information (performance information) in the game information storage area 412d set in the RAM 412. . The performance information display device 4A includes a performance display monitor 43, a performance display switch 44, a set value display section 45, a set value change operation section 46 and a ROM 47. FIG. Here, FIG. 17 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the performance information display device 4A.

As shown in FIG. 17, the performance display monitor 43 displays the "base information" of the gaming machine 10, and is provided at a visible position when the inner frame 12 is expanded (see FIG. 3). reference). The performance display monitor 43 is composed of a plurality (four in this embodiment) of 7-segment displays 431 to 434, which are called 4-digit 7-segment displays. The performance display monitor 43 is preferably provided in the main control device 4, but may be provided in a device other than the main control device 4 in the main control unit 331. may be provided in Also, it is conceivable to display the “base information” using the first special symbol display portion 362 and/or the second special symbol display portion 363 of the main display portion 36 .

The 7-segment displays 431-434 are capable of displaying numbers "0"-"9" and alphabets "A"-"F". In the 7-segment displays 431 to 434, when the alphabet "B" is displayed, a dot is lit to distinguish it from the number "8", and the alphabet "D" is displayed. In order to distinguish from the number "0" when displaying, a dot is lit and "0." is displayed. Also, when any one of the alphabets "A" to "F" is displayed, it is conceivable to light up dots to clearly indicate that it is an alphabet.

The performance display monitor 43 has four 7-segment displays 431 to 434, of which the left two 7-segment displays 431 and 432 are identification segments in which the "base type" is displayed by an abbreviated symbol, and the right two 7-segment displays Indicators 433 and 434 are ratio segments displaying the base value (%) calculated by the MPU 41 . For example, when the current base BL is 31%, the abbreviation "BL" of the current base BL is "8." , and the base value "31" is displayed as "3" and "1" in the right two 7-segment displays 433 and 434, which are ratio segments. That is, the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 display "8.", "L", "3" and "1" in order from the left.

In the illustrated example, the power is turned on by pressing the upper half of the performance display switch 44, and the power is turned off by pressing the lower half. When the performance display switch 44 is operated to turn on the power, the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 are energized, enabling the performance display monitor 43 to display the base information. On the other hand, when the performance display switch 44 is operated to turn off the power, the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 are de-energized and the base information on the performance display monitor 43 is hidden. . Note that the performance display switch 44 may be provided in a place other than the main controller 4 .

Here, FIG. 18A is an example of display on the performance display monitor 43. FIG. As shown in FIG. 18A, when the performance display switch 44 is off, the 7-segment displays 431 to 434 are off, so the base information is not displayed. As shown in FIGS. 18(B) to 18(D), when the performance display switch 44 is turned on, as long as the performance display switch 44 is not turned off, the current base BL → the previous 60,000 is displayed as "base information". The ball base B1→the 60,000 ball base B2 the last time before→the current base BL is looped in order, and each base is repeatedly displayed at regular time intervals. The example shown in FIG. 18(B) indicates that the current base BL is 28%, the example shown in FIG. 18(C) indicates that the previous 60,000 ball base B1 is 34%, and the example shown in FIG. 18(D). 2 shows that the 60,000 ball base B2 of the game before last is 32%. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the performance display switch 44 is turned off, the 7-segment displays 431 to 434 are turned off and the base information on the performance display monitor 43 is hidden.

A program necessary for displaying the "base information" on the performance display monitor 43, e.g. A program for sequentially displaying the BL, the previous 60,000-ball base B1, and the second-last 60,000-ball base B2 at regular time intervals is stored in the ROM 47 provided in the main control unit 4 separately from the ROM 412 of the MPU 41 . Thereby, the load on the ROM 411 of the MPU 41 can be reduced. However, if the ROM 411 of the MPU 41 has sufficient capacity, the ROM 411 may store a program necessary for displaying the "base information" on the performance display monitor 43. FIG. Further, a storage means such as a ROM provided separately from the main controller 4 may store a program necessary for displaying the "base information" on the performance display monitor 43. FIG.

Further, in the performance display monitor 43, in place of the "base information" or in addition to the "base information", "continuous role ratio information" and "player ratio information" are stored in the game information storage area 412d. Other performance information may be displayed.

Also, the performance display monitor 43 is not limited to a 7-segment display, and may be configured by other forms of display such as a dot matrix display, a liquid crystal display, or an organic EL display.

Returning to the description of FIG. 17, the setting value display unit 45 selects the low-probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(A)) and the high-probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(B)) to be referenced in the jackpot lottery. , and is composed of a 7-segment display. Note that the setting value display unit 45 is not limited to the 7-segment display, and may be configured by other forms of display such as a dot matrix display, liquid crystal display, or organic EL display. You may make it display a setting value.

The setting value change operation unit 46 switches the power of the 7-segment display on and off by pressing, and allows setting values to be changed by rotating when the 7-segment display is powered on. The setting value change operation unit 46 has a function as a contact type switch that is turned on and off by a pressing operation, and a function as a rotary switch that switches the contact by a rotating operation (rotation of a predetermined angle). Here, FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of display on the set value display section 45 of the main controller.

As shown in FIG. 19A, when the setting value display unit 45 is in the off state and the setting value change operation unit 46 is pressed, the 7-segment display is energized and the setting value display unit is turned on. A number is displayed at 45. The number displayed at this time is the set value stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412, and indicates the current set value. In the illustrated example, the set value is "1". On the other hand, when the set value change operation unit 46 is pressed while the set value display unit 45 is on, the power supply to the 7-segment display is interrupted, thereby turning the set value display unit 45 off. Become.

As shown in FIG. 19(B), when the set value display section 45 is turned on and the set value change operation section 46 is rotated, the number displayed on the set value display section 45 is changed. . In the illustrated example, when the set value display section 45 is rotated clockwise, the number displayed on the set value display section 45 increases, and when the set value display section 45 is rotated counterclockwise, the number displayed on the set value display section 45 increases. The number displayed will be smaller. When the number displayed on the setting value display section 45 is changed by rotating the setting value display section 45, the changed number is stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 as the setting value. Therefore, when the setting value change operation unit 46 is pressed to turn off the power of the 7-segment display while the number corresponding to the target setting value is displayed on the setting value display unit 45, the power is turned off. The number that was displayed immediately before is determined as the set value. As a result, the MPU 41 selects a low-probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(A)) or a high-probability mode success/failure table (FIG. 14(B)) according to the setting values stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412. ), a jackpot lottery can be held.

The method for changing the set value is not limited to turning off the set value display unit 45 after rotating the set value change operation unit 46 . For example, a method in which the setting value is determined by rotating the setting value change operation unit 46 and then pressing the operation button 20 (see FIG. 1), or a method in which the operation button 20 (see FIG. 1) is repeatedly pressed or pressed for a long time to set the value. A method of turning off the power of the set value display unit 45 after changing the number displayed on the value display unit 45, and a method of displaying the set value by inserting a key into a keyhole provided in the main control device 4 or the like and rotating the key. A method such as changing the number displayed on the unit 45 and then removing the key may be used.

Here, the performance information display device 4A having the set value display section 45 is provided in the main control device 4 of the main control unit 331 in the control unit 33. FIG. Also, the control unit 33 is provided on the back side of the game board 31 and can be opened and closed with respect to the front frame 11 . Therefore, the set value display unit 45 is provided on the back side of the game board 31, and by opening and closing the control unit 33 together with the game board 31 with respect to the front frame 11, the external of the game machine 10 (front side of the front frame 11) is displayed. ), it is possible to select a visible state or an invisible state. That is, by closing the game board 31 (control unit 33) with respect to the front frame 11, the set value display section 45 cannot be visually recognized, while the game board 31 (control unit 33) is opened with respect to the front frame 11. , the setting value display section 45 can be visually recognized. As a result, when a player executes a game on the gaming machine 10, unless the game board 31 is opened, the setting value display portion 45 is not visually recognized. The value is prevented from being grasped by the player. When the set value display section 45 is in the lit state, the set value change operation section 46 is pressed to turn off the set value display section 45 . Therefore, by keeping the set value display portion 45 off during the business hours of the game hall, the set value display portion 45 can be visually recognized by opening the game board 31 due to jamming of balls in the game machine 10 or the like. Even in this state, the set value display section 45 can prevent the player from grasping the set value.

On the other hand, the set value display section 45 is turned on by pressing the set value change operation section 46 when it is in the off state, and the number corresponding to the set value is hidden. Therefore, outside the business hours of the game hall, the game board 31 is opened with respect to the front frame 11, and the set value display unit 45 is turned on by performing a pressing operation on the set value change operation unit 46. The set value can be confirmed based on the number displayed on the set value display section 45, and the set value can be changed by rotating the set value change operation section 46. FIG. As a result, it is possible to change the setting value outside the business hours with a simple operation while ensuring the secrecy of the setting value during the business hours.

For example, the detection states of the entering ball sensors 313a to 317a, the out ball sensor 318a, the special out ball sensor 384, etc. are determined. At this time, the MPU 41 stores the information in the RAM 412 as winning detection information when the entry of the game ball to any of the entering ball sensors 313a to 317a is detected. Further, when out balls are detected by the out ball sensor 318a, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the number of out balls stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 to update the number of out balls in the game information storage area 412d. do. Furthermore, when the special out-ball sensor 384 detects a special out-ball sensor 384 , the MPU 41 sets a special out-ball detection command and stores this special out-ball detection command in the RAM 412 .

In step S1006, the MPU 41 performs a normal winning lottery to determine whether or not to open the electric accessory 315b of the second prize winning opening 315 based on the normal winning random number counter C4 stored in the electricity holding area 412c. Perform slew gate processing to be performed. Specifically, in the through gate process, first, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the current game mode is the high frequency support mode based on the high frequency support mode flag. Then, when the MPU 41 is not in the high-frequency support mode, the MPU 41 judges that it is a normal win when the normal winning random number counter C4 is 0 to 29, and it is a failure when the normal winning random number counter C4 is 30 to 249. judge there is. In addition, in the case of the high-frequency support mode, the MPU 41 judges that a normal win occurs when the normal winning random number counter C4 is 0 to 199, and it is a failure when the normal winning random number counter C4 is 200 to 249. judge there is. Then, when the MPU 41 determines in the through gate process that the win is normal, the electric accessory 315b is opened for a predetermined time. As a result, it becomes possible to win a prize in the second prize winning port 315 on the upper right side of the game board 31 on which the electric accessory 315b is arranged.

In step S1106, the MPU 41 determines whether or not there is a prize for the second prize winning port 315. Here, when the MPU 41 determines that a prize has been won for the second prize winning port 315 (step S1106: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1107, and if it determines that there is no prize for the second prize winning port 315 (step S1106: No ), the start winning process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S1005 in FIG.

<Steps S1107 and S1108>
In step S1107, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the pending number M stored in the pending number storage area NAB of the RAM 412 is the maximum pending number (4 in this embodiment). Here, if the number M of reservations is the maximum number of reservations (step S1107: Yes), the MPU 41 terminates the start winning process and shifts the process to step S1005 in FIG. On the other hand, if the number M of reservations is not the maximum number of reservations (step S1107: No), the MPU 41 adds 1 to the number of reservations M (step S1108).

<Step S1109>
In step S1109, the MPU 41 includes a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2, and a reach random number counter C3 updated in step S1003 of FIG. 20, and a fluctuation type counter CS1 (step S1302 of FIG. 23 and S1312), and stores the counter value in the first empty reservation area among the first reservation area REB1 to fourth reservation area REB4 of the second reservation storage area REB in the reservation storage area 412b in the RAM 412. .

<Step S1110>
In step S1110, the MPU 41, before the propriety information for the second hold acquired in step S1109 becomes a determination target of the propriety of the jackpot in the fluctuation start processing described later (S1408 in FIG. 24, FIG. 26), the propriety information The content is confirmed, and the second reserved command setting process is executed to set the second reserved command in the RAM 412 based on the confirmation result. Here, since the second pending command setting process is the same as the first pending command setting process described later with reference to FIG. 22, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the second pending command setting process, the "first pending command" in the first pending command setting process of FIG. good.

[First pending command setting process]
Here, FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first pending command setting process executed by the MPU 41 at step S1105 in the starting winning process of FIG. In addition, the first pending command includes information indicating that the command is the first pending command, the type of the first pending command (jackpot type or out), variation pattern and information such as the number of pending N . The first pending command setting process will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Step S1201>
As shown in FIG. 22, the MPU 41 reads the pending number N from the pending number storage area NAA of the first pending storage area REA, and reads the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 corresponding to each first pending from the RAM 412 (step S1201).

<Step S1202>
In step S1202, the MPU 41 determines whether the mode is the high probability mode. If the mode is the high probability mode (step S1202: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1203. If the mode is not the high probability mode (step S1202 : No), the process proceeds to step S1204. For example, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the high probability mode is set to ON at the time of transition to the high probability mode in the game state transition processing (step S1306 in FIG. 23) in the main processing described later, and the jackpot game from the high probability mode. Judgment is made based on a high probability mode flag which is set to OFF when transitioning to another game state such as state.

<Steps S1203 and S1204>
In step S1203, the MPU 41 reads out the high-probability mode propriety table (see FIG. 14(B)) stored according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value changing process of FIG. Based on, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 read in step S1201 is a value corresponding to jackpot winning. On the other hand, in step S1204, the MPU 41 reads out the low-probability mode validity table (see FIG. 14A) stored according to the setting value in step S1712 in the setting value change process of FIG. Based on the success/failure table, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the big hit random number counter C1 read in step S1201 is a value corresponding to winning the big hit.

Note that in steps S1203 and S1204, the suitability determination is executed based on the high-probability mode suitability table or the low-probability mode suitability table that is stored according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change processing of FIG. 27, which will be described later. , in step S1203 or S1204, after reading out the setting values saved in step S1710 in the setting value change processing of FIG. It is also possible to make a selection and judge whether it is correct or not.

<Step S1205>
In step S1205, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is a value corresponding to jackpot winning. Here, when the MPU 41 determines that the counter value read from the jackpot random number counter C1 is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning (step S1205: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1206, and the jackpot random number counter C1 If it is determined that the counter value read out from is not a value corresponding to winning the jackpot (step S1205: No), the process proceeds to step S1208.

<Step S1206>
In step S1206, MPU41 reads out the counter values of the jackpot type counter C2 and the variation type counter CS1 from the RAM412. For example, if the winning/failure information is stored in the third reservation area REA3 in step S1104 in the starting winning process of FIG. 21, the jackpot type counter C2 and the variation type The counter value of counter CS1 is read. In addition, among the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area REA4, the reservation area in which win/fail information is stored in step S1104 in the start winning process of FIG. can be determined by

<Step S1207>
In step S1207, the MPU 41 sets the jackpot type counter C2, the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the number of reservations N to the first reservation command. Thus, since the first hold command includes the hold number N read out in step S1201, the MPU 51 of the audio lamp control device 5 that receives the first hold command receives the hold number N contained in the first hold command. By referring to N, it is possible to recognize which one of the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area REA4 corresponds to the right/fail information stored in the first reservation command.

<Steps S1208 and S1209>
In step S1208, the MPU 41 reads the counter value of the variation type counter CS1 from the RAM412. Next, the MPU 41 sets the information indicating that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out, the variation type counter CS1 and the number of reservations N to the first reservation command (step S1209).

Note that the first pending command set to ON in the first pending command setting process is stored in the RAM 412, and is executed by the MPU 41 of the main control unit 4 in step S1301 of the main process in FIG. is transmitted to the audio lamp controller 5 together with the command of , and then erased. Furthermore, the content of the first hold command described here is merely an example, and the content is not limited to that described here as long as the sound lamp control device 5 can grasp the same content as the hold command. For example, it is conceivable that part or all of the information of the first pending command is included in another command.

[Main processing of main controller 4]
Next, the main processing executed by the MPU 41 of the main controller 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 23 . In the main process, main control processes for progress of the variation game and the jackpot game are executed. In the main process, the processes of steps S1301 to S1309 are executed as regular processes with a period of, for example, 4 msec, and the counter update process of steps S1310 to S1312 is executed in the remaining time from the end of the processes of steps S1301 to S1309 to the next period. be.

<Step S1301>
As shown in FIG. 23, in step S1301, the MPU 41 sends output data such as commands set in the main timer interrupt processing of FIG. Execute external output processing to send to. For example, in the RAM 412 commands such as a variation pattern command, a first hold command, a second hold command, a shift command, a jackpot start command, a round game start command, an ending start command, a set value change command, and a unit jackpot lottery count update command are set. If so, it sends that command to the audio lamp controller 5 . Also, when a prize ball command is set in the RAM 412 in the prize ball command setting process of step S1303 described later in the main process, the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control device 7 .

<Step S1302>
In step S1302, the MPU 41 updates the value of the variation type counter CS1. Specifically, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the counter value of the fluctuation type counter CS1, and clears the counter value to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value.

<Step S1303>
In step S1303, the MPU 41 sets the prize ball command to be output to the payout control device 7 and the sub-control unit 332 in the RAM412. Specifically, based on the winning detection information stored in the RAM 412, the MPU 41 determines whether or not a winning has occurred in the general winning opening 313, the variable winning opening 316, or the like. Then, when a prize has been won, a prize ball command indicating the number of prize balls to be paid out according to the prize is set in the RAM 412. - 特許庁At this time, the MPU 41 stores the information in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 in the normal game state (low-probability mode and low-frequency support mode) when winning occurs in the general winning port 313 or the first winning port 314. The number of balls to be paid out from the general winning opening or the number of balls to be paid out from the first winning opening is updated to a value obtained by adding the number of balls to be paid out due to the current winning. In addition, the MPU 41, in the time-saving gaming state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode) or variable probability gaming state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode), when the winning of the second winning opening 315 has occurred, the RAM 412 The number of balls to be paid out from the second winning opening stored in the game information storage area 412d is updated to a value obtained by adding the number of balls to be paid out from the current winning. Further, in the jackpot game state, when a prize is won in the variable winning port 316, the MPU 41 changes the number of balls to be paid out from the variable winning port stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 to the number of balls to be paid out due to the current winning. is added to the value.

<Step S1304>
In step S1304, MPU41 executes the variable game control process for controlling the game in the variable game. The details of the variation game control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 24. In the variation game control process, the above-mentioned jackpot lottery is executed, and the variation pattern command necessary for the symbol variation display by the symbol display unit 341 is set. be done. At this time, the MPU 41 is the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S1003 of the main timer interrupt process of FIG. Based on each value of the type counter CS1, a variation pattern command indicating the lottery result of the jackpot lottery and the variation display time is set in the RAM412.

<Step S1305>
In step S1305, the MPU 41 executes a jackpot game control process for controlling the progress of the game in the jackpot game. In the jackpot game control process, a control process for the jackpot game consisting of an opening, an opening/closing execution mode, and an ending is executed. In the open/close execution mode, the MPU 41 controls the opening/closing operation of the opening/closing door 319 for the round game in which the variable winning opening 316 is opened, thereby determining the result of the jackpot lottery that triggered the shift to the jackpot game (jackpot type ) is executed as many times as necessary. For example, the MPU 41 executes the round game 5 times when the jackpot types are the 5R normal jackpot and the 5R probability variable jackpot, and executes the round game 16 times when the jackpot type is the 16R probability variable jackpot. Also, in the jackpot game control process, a round game start command is set in the RAM 412 when each round game is started in the open/close execution mode, and an ending start command is set in the RAM 412 when the ending is started.

<Step S1306>
In step S1306, the MPU 41 executes game state transition processing for shifting the game state based on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery in step S1602 or S1603 in the fluctuation start processing of FIG. 26 described later. In the game state transition process, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the MPU 41 changes the game state to a jackpot game state in which the open/close execution mode is executed, a probability variable game state that is a high probability mode and a high frequency support mode, a low probability mode and a high It is shifted to a time-saving game state which is a frequency support mode, a normal game state which is a low-probability mode and a low-frequency support mode, and the like.

For example, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the MPU 41 shifts the game state to the jackpot game state after the variable game for notifying the lottery result ends. At this time, the MPU 41 sets the jackpot gaming state flag stored in the RAM 412 to ON. In addition, when the big win game is finished, the MPU 41 shifts the game state from the big win game state to a predetermined game state according to the lottery result of the big win lottery that triggered the execution of the big win game. In this embodiment, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is the 5R probability variable jackpot or the 16R probability variable jackpot, the MPU 41 shifts to the probability variable game state after the jackpot game ends, and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is the 5R normal jackpot. In some cases, after the end of the jackpot game, the state is shifted to a time-saving game state. In addition, when notification of the lottery result for the jackpot lottery of the prescribed number of times is completed in the time-saving game state, the game state is shifted to the normal game state after the end of the variation game.

Further, when the transition of the game state is caused, the MPU 41 sets the flag for the game state before the transition to OFF, and sets the flag for the game state after the transition to ON. For example, the MPU 41 sets the high probability mode flag to ON while setting the jackpot game flag to OFF when there is a transition of the game state from the jackpot game state to the probability variation game state. On the other hand, when there is a transition of the game state from the variable probability game state to the jackpot game state, the high probability mode flag is set to OFF while the jackpot game flag is set to ON.

Furthermore, when the game state is shifted to the jackpot game state, the MPU 41 sets a jackpot game start command in the RAM 412 and adds 1 to the "jackpot count" stored in the game information storage area 412d set in the RAM 412.例文帳に追加

<Step S1307>
In step S1307, the MPU 41 executes set value change processing. In this set value change process, a process of controlling display or non-display of the set value or change of the set value stored in the game information storage area 412d is executed according to the operation of the set value change operation unit 46. FIG. Details of the set value change process will be described later with reference to FIG. 27 .

In addition, in the present embodiment, the set value change process is executed in the main process, but it is limited to the start-up process that is started when the power is turned on, or after the start-up process until the game ball is started to be launched. It is also conceivable that it is executed by As a result, after the game is started by the player, the setting value cannot be changed until the power is turned on next time, so that the setting value can be prevented from being changed during the business hours of the game hall. .

<Step S1308>
In step S1308, the MPU 41 executes specific performance information update processing in the game information. In this embodiment, the base information, the number of unit jackpot lotteries, the continuous role ratio, and the role ratio are updated as the specific performance information. Details of the specific performance information update process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. FIG.

<Step S1309>
In step S<b>1309 , the MPU 41 executes display control processing for the performance display monitor 43 . In the display control processing of the performance display monitor 43, processing for displaying the base information updated in step S1308 on the performance display monitor 43 is executed. Details of the display control processing of the performance display monitor 43 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 30 to 33. FIG.

<Step S1310>
In step S1310, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the execution timing of the next main process has arrived, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (4 msec in this embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the main process this time. Here, when the MPU 41 determines that the execution timing of the next main process has arrived (step S1310: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1301, and each process after S1301 described above is executed. On the other hand, when the MPU 41 determines that the execution timing of the next main process has not arrived (step S1310: No), the MPU 41 waits until the execution timing of the next main process arrives, that is, at the execution timing of the next main process. During the remaining time until it is determined that the execution timing of the next main process has arrived (step S1310: Yes), steps S1310, S1311 and S1312 are repeatedly executed.

<Step S1311>
At step S1311, the MPU 41 updates the random number initial value counters CIN1 and CIN2. Specifically, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the counter values of the random number initial value counters CIN1 and CIN2, and clears the counter values to 0 when the counter values reach the maximum value.

<Step S1312>
In step S1312, the MPU 41 updates the variation type counter CS1. Specifically, 1 is added to the counter value of the fluctuation type counter CS1, and the counter value is cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. After updating the variation type counter CS1, the MPU 41 returns the process to step S1310.

[Variation game control process]

When the game ends and the jackpot game is not in progress (step S1401: No), the process proceeds to step S1402. The presence or absence of the execution of the jackpot game is set to ON at the time of transition to the jackpot game state in the game state transition processing of step S1306 in the main processing of FIG. It is determined based on the jackpot game flag set to .

<Step S1402>
In step S1402, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the symbol variation display is in progress. (Step S1402: No), the process proceeds to step S1406. For example, whether or not the symbol variation display is in progress is set to ON at the start of variation display in step S1606 in the variation start processing of FIG. It is determined based on the variable display flag set to OFF in step S1405 of the variable game control process.

<Step S1403>
At step S1403, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the variable display time has elapsed since the start of the symbol variable display. If it is determined that the variable display time has elapsed (step S1403: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1404. Then, when it is determined that the variation display time has not passed (step S1403: No), the variation game control process is terminated.

<Steps S1404 and S1405>
When the fluctuation display time has elapsed (step S1403: Yes), the MPU 41 displays the result of the jackpot lottery corresponding to the fluctuation game in the first special symbol display portion 362 or the second special symbol display portion 363 of the main display portion 36. The corresponding symbol is stopped and displayed (step S1404), and the variable display flag is set to OFF (step S1405).

<Step S1406>
If it is not during the symbol variation display (step S1402: No), the MPU 41 is the pending number N stored in the pending number storage area NAA of the pending storage area 412b, the pending number M stored in the pending number storage area NAB It is determined whether both are 0 (step S1406). Here, when both the number N of reservations and the number M of reservations are 0 (step S1406: Yes), the MPU 41 terminates the variable game control process. On the other hand, when either one of the number of reservations N and the number of reservations M is not 0 (step S1406: No), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1407.

<Step S1407>
In step S1407, the MPU 41 executes data setting processing for the win/fail information data stored in the reservation storage area 412b. When the process of step S1407 is completed, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1408. Details of the data setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

<Step S1408>
In step S1408, the MPU 41 executes variation start processing for causing the symbol display unit 341 to perform variation display based on the success/failure information, and terminates the variation game control processing. Details of the fluctuation start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

[Data setting process]
Here, FIG. 25 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of data setting processing executed by the MPU 41 in step S1407 of FIG. The data setting process will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Step S1501>
As shown in FIG. 25, in step S1501, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the number of reservations M corresponding to the second special symbol game is 0, and when the number of reservations M is 0 (step S1501: Yes) , the process proceeds to step S1502. On the other hand, MPU41 transfers a process to step S1505, when the number M of reservations is not 0 (step S1501: No).

<Steps S1502 to S1504>
When the pending number M is 0 (step S1501: Yes), the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the pending number N stored in the pending number storage area NAA (step S1502), from the first pending area REA1 to the execution area AE The pass/fail information is moved (step S1503). Subsequently, the MPU 41 shifts the validity information of the second reservation area REA2 to the fourth reservation area REA4 by one (step S1504). Specifically, in step S1504, the success/failure information of the second reservation area REA2 is moved to the first reservation area REA1, the success/failure information of the third reservation area REA3 is moved to the second reservation area REA2, and the success/failure information of the fourth reservation area REA4 is moved. The success/failure information is moved to the third reservation area REA3. When the process of step S1504 ends, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1508.

<Steps S1505 to S1507>
Step S1505 moves when the pending number M is 0 (step S1501: No), but step S1501 moves when both or one of the pending number M and the pending number N is not 0 in step S1406 of FIG. (step S1406: No). Therefore, when the number of reservations M is 0 (step S1501: No), the MPU 41 can determine that the number of reservations N is not 0, and therefore executes the processes of steps S1505 to S1507.

Specifically, the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the number of reservations M stored in the number of reservations storage area NAB (step S1505), and moves the right/fail information from the first reservation area REB1 to the execution area AE (step S1506). Subsequently, the MPU 41 shifts the validity information of the second reservation area REB2 to the fourth reservation area REB4 one by one (step S1507). Specifically, in step S1507, the validity information of the second reservation area REB2 is moved to the first reservation area REB1, the validity information of the third reservation area REB3 is moved to the second reservation area REB2, and the validity information of the fourth reservation area REB4 is moved. The success/failure information is moved to the third reservation area REB3. When the process of step S1507 is finished, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1508.

<Step S1508>
In step S1508, the MPU 41 sets in the RAM 412 a shift command indicating that the validity information of the first reservation area REA1 to the fourth reservation area REA4 or the first reservation area REB1 to the fourth reservation area REB4 has been shifted. Then, the shift command set in step S1508 is transmitted to the sound lamp controller 5 in the external output process of step S1301 of the next main process executed by the MPU 41 (see FIG. 23). As a result, the number of reserved symbols displayed on the symbol display portion 341 is changed. When the process of step S1508 ends, the MPU 41 ends the data setting process, and shifts the process to step S1408 in FIG.

[Variation start processing]
Here, FIG. 26 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation start process executed by the MPU 41 in step S1408 of FIG. The fluctuation start processing will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Step S1601>
As shown in FIG. 26, in step S1601, the MPU 41 determines whether the game state is the high probability mode. Whether or not it is the high probability mode is determined based on whether or not the high probability mode flag, which is set to ON in the game state transition processing of step S1306 in the main processing of FIG. 23, is set to ON. . When the game state is the high probability mode (step S1601: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1602, and when the game state is not the high probability mode (step S1601: No), that is, the game state is the low probability mode. If so, the process moves to step S1603.

<Steps S1602 and S1603>
In step S1602, the MPU 41 stores data in the reserved storage area 412b based on the high-probability mode propriety table (see FIG. 14B) that is stored according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. 27 described later. Whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 included as numerical information in the hit/fail information stored in the execution area AE is a value corresponding to jackpot winning is determined. On the other hand, in step S1603, the MPU 41 stores a reserved storage area based on the low-probability mode propriety table (see FIG. 14A) that is stored according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change process of FIG. 27 described later. Whether or not the counter value of the jackpot random number counter C1 included as numerical information in the hit/fail information stored in the execution area AE of 412b is a value corresponding to the jackpot winning is determined.

Note that in steps S1602 and S1603, the suitability determination is executed based on the high-probability mode suitability table or the low-probability mode suitability table that is stored according to the set value in step S1712 in the set value change processing of FIG. 27, which will be described later. , in steps S1602 and S1603, after reading out the setting values saved in step S1710 in the setting value change processing in FIG. It is also possible to make a selection and judge whether it is correct or not.

<Step S1604>
In step S1604, the MPU 41 sets the variable display time of the first special symbol display section 362 or the second special symbol display section 363 of the main display section 36 corresponding to the variation pattern of the variable game to the variable display time counter. Specifically, the MPU 41, when the result of the success/failure determination in step S1602 or S1603 is the normal jackpot, the fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation type counter CS1 and the normal jackpot fluctuation table (see FIG. 15(A)) Identify. In addition, MPU41, when the result of the success or failure determination in step S1602 or S1603 is the probability variation jackpot, the variation type counter CS1 and the probability variation jackpot variation table (see FIG. 15 (B)) to specify the variation pattern based on . Furthermore, when the result of the success/failure determination in step S1602 or S1603 is an error, the MPU 41 identifies the variation pattern based on the variation type counter CS1 and the error variation table (see FIG. 15C).

<Step S1605>
In step S1605, the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern command including the lottery result of the big winning lottery for the variation game and the variation pattern specified in step S1604 in the RAM412. As a result, in step S1301 of the next main process (see FIG. 23) executed by the MPU 41, the variation pattern command is transmitted to the audio ramp control device 5, and the audio ramp control device 5 displays the pattern based on the variation pattern command. Symbol variation display by the unit 341 and the like are executed.

As described above, when the lottery result is "normal jackpot", the MPU 41 adds "A" to the variation patterns "01" to "03" to indicate that the 5R normal jackpot is "A01" to " A03” is set in the RAM 412 as a variation pattern command. In addition, when the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", the MPU 41 is any of "B01" to "B03" with "B" indicating that it is a 5R probability variable jackpot to the variation patterns "01" to "03". is set in the RAM 412 as a variation pattern command. Furthermore, when the lottery result is "16R probability variable jackpot", the MPU 41 is any of "C01" to "C03" with "C" indicating that it is a 16R probability variable jackpot to the variation patterns "01" to "03". is set in the RAM 412 as a variation pattern command. In addition, when the lottery result is "losing", the MPU 41 selects one of the fluctuation patterns "D01" to "D08" with "D" indicating that the fluctuation pattern is "losing" to the fluctuation pattern "01" to "08". It is set in the RAM 412 as a command. Further, when the lottery result is "lost", the MPU 41 includes in the variation pattern command information as to which of the front-rear out-of-reach reach, reach other than front-rear out-of-order reach, and complete loss.

<Step S1606>
In step S1606, the MPU 41 starts the symbol variation display on the main display section 36, and terminates the variation start process. In addition, when the MPU 41 starts the variable display of the symbols on the main display section 36, the MPU 41 sets the variable display flag to ON. This variable display flag is referred to in step S1402 in the variable game control process of FIG. Further, when the symbol variation display of the main display section 36 is started, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the “cumulative jackpot lottery count” stored in the game information storage area 412 d set in the RAM 412 . Furthermore, when the result of the win/loss determination based on the low-probability mode win/fail table in step S1603 is a loss, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the "number of times of consecutive failures" stored in the game information storage area 412d, and the win/loss result is a jackpot. If there is, clear "Consecutive Missing Times" to 0 times.

[Set value change processing]
Here, FIG. 27 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the set value changing process executed in step S1307 of the main process of FIG. The setting value changing process will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Step S1701>
As shown in FIG. 27, at step S1701, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the symbol variation display is in progress. If the symbol variation display is not in progress (step S1701: No), the process proceeds to step S1702. For example, whether or not the symbol variation display is being performed is determined based on the variation display flag set to ON at step S1606 in the variation start processing of FIG.

<Step S1702>
If it is not during the symbol variation display (step S1701: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not it is in the jackpot gaming state (step S1702), if it is in the jackpot gaming state (step S1702: Yes), the set value When the change process is terminated and the jackpot game state is not set (step S1702: No), the process proceeds to step S1703. For example, whether or not it is a jackpot game is determined based on the jackpot game state flag set to ON in the game state transition process of step S1306 in the main process of FIG.

<Step S1703>
If neither the symbol variation display nor the jackpot game state is in effect (No in both steps S1701 and S1702), the MPU 41 determines whether the power of the set value display unit 45 has been switched from off to on (step S1703), that is, setting It is determined whether or not the value change operation unit 46 has been operated to turn on the power of the set value display unit 45 . That is, in this embodiment, when the symbol variation display is in progress (step S1701: Yes) or when the game is in the jackpot game state (step S1702: Yes), the setting value is not displayed and the setting value cannot be changed. Here, when the power of the setting value display unit 45 is switched from off to on (step S1703: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1704, and switches the power of the setting value display unit 45 from off to on. If not (step S1703: No), the process proceeds to step S1707.

<Steps S1704 to S1706>
When the power of the set value display unit 45 is switched from off to on (step S1703: Yes), the MPU 41 reads the set values stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 at step S1710 (step S1704). , the number indicating the read setting value is displayed on the setting value display unit 45 (step S1705). This makes it possible to confirm the current set value. Then, the MPU 41 turns on the setting value display flag indicating that the setting value is being displayed in the setting value display section 45 (step S1706), and ends the setting value changing process.

<Step S1707>
If the power of the setting value display unit 45 has not been switched from off to on (step S1703: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the setting value display flag is set to on (step S1707). The setting value display flag indicates that the setting value is being displayed in the setting value display section 45 as described above, and is set to ON in step S1706. If the setting value display flag is set to ON (step S1707: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1708, and if the setting value display flag is set to OFF (step S1707: No). In other words, if the set value display unit 45 is not turned on and the power is not turned on, the set value change process is terminated.

<Step S1708>
When the set value display flag is set to ON (step S1707: Yes), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the set value change operation unit 46 has been rotated by a predetermined angle (step S1708). That is, the MPU 41 determines whether or not a rotation operation for changing the set value has been performed. The MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1709 when the set value change operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle (step S1708: Yes), and when the set value change operation unit 46 is not rotated (step S1708: No), The process proceeds to step S1711.

<Step S1709>
When the set value change operation unit 46 is rotated by the predetermined angle (step S1708: Yes), the MPU 41 executes processing for changing the display on the set value display unit 45 (step S1709). For example, when the set value change operation unit 46 is rotated rightward by a predetermined angle, the MPU 41 displays a number one larger than the number displayed on the set value display unit 45 before the rotation, and vice versa. In addition, when the set value change operation section 46 is rotated leftward by a predetermined angle, a number one smaller than the number displayed on the set value display section 45 before the rotation is displayed.

When the number displayed on the set value display section 45 before rotation is "6" and the set value change operation section 46 is rotated rightward by a predetermined angle, the set value display section 45 displays is changed to "1", and when the number displayed on the setting value display unit 45 before rotation is "1", the setting value change operation unit 46 is rotated by a predetermined angle in the left direction. The number displayed on the value display section 45 is changed to "6". Further, when the number displayed on the setting value display section 45 is "6", it is prevented from rotating further to the right, and when the number displayed on the setting value display section 45 is "1". In addition, it may be prevented from rotating further to the left.

<Step S1710>
In step S1710, the MPU 41 overwrites the setting value in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 with the number being displayed on the setting value display section 45 as the setting value, and ends the setting value changing process. As a result, when the power of the setting value change operation unit 46 is switched from on to off, the setting value saved in the RAM 412 immediately before the power is turned off is finally set as the effective setting value of the game information in the RAM 412. It is saved in the storage area 412d. Therefore, by rotating the set value change operation unit 46 to change the number displayed on the set value display unit 45, the set value saved in the RAM 412 is changed. By turning off the power of the setting value display unit 45 while the number corresponding to the desired setting value is displayed on the setting value display unit 45, the setting value can be determined.

<Step S1711>
If the set value change operation unit 46 has not been rotated by the predetermined angle (step S1708: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the power of the set value display unit 45 has been switched from on to off (step S1711), that is, whether or not the set value has been changed. It is determined whether or not an operation has been performed on the operation unit 46 to turn off the power of the set value display unit 45 . When the power of the setting value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1712, and the power of the setting value display unit 45 is not switched from on to off. If so (step S1711: No), the set value change process is terminated. When the power supply of the setting value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711: Yes), the setting value display unit 45 displays a number indicating the setting value when the energization to the 7-segment display is interrupted. is extinguished, and the set value is determined as described above.

<Steps S1712 and S1713>
When the power supply of the set value display unit 45 is switched from on to off (step S1711: Yes), the MPU 41 displays the low probability mode right/wrong table according to the set value saved in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 at step S1710. (See FIG. 14A) and the high-probability mode propriety table (see FIG. 14B) are selected and stored in the RAM 412 (step S1712). Then, the MPU 41 sets the setting value display flag to OFF, and ends the setting value changing process.

Here, in step S1712, a low-probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(A)) and a high-probability mode success/failure table (see FIG. 14(B)) corresponding to the set values stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 are displayed. is selected. That is, since the same set value is selected for the low-probability mode success/failure table and the high-probability mode success/failure table, the setting value can be easily changed. However, the set value in the low-probability mode and the set value in the high-probability mode may be individually changeable. In this case, the low probability mode and the high probability mode are set to different steps (numerical values), such as setting the low probability mode setting value to “1” and the high probability mode setting value to “6”. it becomes possible to

[Performance information update process]
Here, FIG. 28 is a flow chart showing an example of the specific performance information update process executed in step S1308 in the main process of FIG. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an example of base information updated in the specific performance information update process of FIG. The specific performance information update process will be described below with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. FIG.

<Steps S1801 and S1802>
As shown in FIG. 28, the MPU 41 reads out the number of out balls for base calculation of the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 (step S1801), and when the number of out balls read reaches 60000 balls. (step S1802). If the number of out balls has reached 60000 (step S1802: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S1805, and if the number of out balls has not reached 60000 (step S1802: No), the process proceeds to step S1805. The process proceeds to S1803.

<Steps S1803 and S1804>
When the number of out balls has not reached 60000 (step S1802: No), the MPU 51 reads the number of general winning opening payout balls and the number of first winning opening payout balls for base calculation of the base information (step S1808). Then, the MPU 51 determines the number of out balls for base calculation of the base information read in step S1801, the number of general winning opening payout balls for base calculation of the base information read in step S1803, and the number of first winning opening payout balls. Based on this, the current base BL is calculated, and the current base BL of the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is overwritten and updated (step S1804) (see FIG. 29A). The current base BL (%) is calculated as 100×(the number of balls paid out from the general winning opening + the number of balls paid out from the first winning opening)/the number of out balls.

<Steps S1805 to S1808>
When the number of out balls reaches 60000 (step S1802: Yes), the MPU 41 updates the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 (steps S1805-S1807). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 29(A) and 29(B), the MPU 41 shifts the previous 60,000 ball base B1 to the 60,000 ball base two times before in the base information (step S1805). BL is shifted to the previous 60,000 ball base B1 (step S1806), and the current base BL is cleared to 0 (step S1807). Then, the MPU 41 clears the number of general winning opening payout balls, the number of first winning opening payout balls and the number of out balls for base calculation, which are stored as the base information in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412, to 0 (step S1808). ).

<Step S1809>
When the process of step S1804 or S1808 is finished, the MPU 51 reads various information in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412, calculates other specific performance, and updates the other specific performance information to the calculated value (step S1809). ), and the specific performance information update process ends. The specific performance in this case is, for example, the number of unit jackpot lotteries, the continuous role ratio, the role ratio, and the like.

[Display control processing of performance display monitor]
Here, FIGS. 30 to 33 are flowcharts showing an example of the procedure of display control processing of the performance display monitor 43 executed in step S1309 of the main processing of FIG. The display control processing of the performance display monitor 43 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 30 to 33. FIG.

<Step S1901>
As shown in FIG. 30, in step S1901, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the BL display flag is set to ON. Here, the BL display flag is a flag indicating that the current base BL is being displayed on the performance display monitor 43, and is set to ON in step S1906 described later or step S1930 in FIG. If the BL display flag is set to ON (step S1901: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1908 in FIG. 31, and if the BL display flag is set to OFF (step S1901: No ), and the process proceeds to step S1902.

<Step S1902>
When the BL display flag is set to OFF (step S1901: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the B1 display flag is set to ON (step S1902). Here, the B1 display flag is a flag indicating that the 60,000 ball base B1 was displayed last time on the performance display monitor 43, and is set to ON in step S1912 of FIG. 31 to be described later. If the B1 display flag is set to ON (step S1902: Yes), the MPU 41 proceeds to step S1917 in FIG. 32, and if the B1 display flag is set to OFF (step S1902: No ), and the process proceeds to step S1903.

<Step S1903>
When the B1 displaying flag is set to OFF (step S1902: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the B2 displaying flag is set to ON (step S1903). Here, the B2 displaying flag is a flag indicating that the 60,000 ball base B2 is being displayed on the performance display monitor 43 two times before, and is set to ON in step S1921 of FIG. 32 described later. If the B2 display flag is set to ON (step S1903: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1926 in FIG. 33, and if the B2 display flag is set to OFF (step S1903: No ), and the process proceeds to step S1904.

<Step S1904>
When the B2 display flag is set to off (step S1903: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the performance display switch 44 has been switched from off to on (step S1904). If the performance display switch 44 has been switched from off to on (step S1904: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1905, and if the performance display switch 44 has not been switched from off to on (step S1904: No), the End the display control process.

<Steps S1905 to S1907>
When the performance display switch 44 is switched from OFF to ON (step S1904: Yes), the MPU 41 causes the performance display monitor 43 to display the current base BL included in the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412. (Step S1905). For example, when the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is the example shown in FIG. 2” and “9” are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43, and when the base information is the example shown in FIG. 29B, the current base BL is 0%. "8.", "L", "0", and "0" indicating that there is, are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43. FIG. Then, the MPU 41 sets the BL display flag to ON (step S1906), sets the BL display time counter for displaying the current base BL on the performance display monitor 43 for a certain period of time (step S1907), and performs the display control process. exit.

<Steps S1908 and S1909>
When the BL display flag is set to ON (step S1901: Yes), as shown in FIG. 31, the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the value of the BL display time counter set in step S1907 of FIG. S1908), it is determined whether or not the value of the BL display time counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S1909). When the value of the BL display time counter after subtraction is 0 (step S1909: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1910, and when the value of the BL display time counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S1909: No ), and the process proceeds to step S1913.

<Steps S1910 to S1913>
When the value of the BL display time counter after subtraction is 0 (step S1909: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the BL display flag to OFF (step S1910), and the base stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 The previous 60,000 ball base B1 included in the information is displayed on the performance display monitor 43 (step S1911). For example, if the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is the example shown in FIG. , “3”, and “3” are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43, and the base information is the example shown in FIG. "8.", "1", "2" and "9" indicating that the base B1 is 29% are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431-434 constituting the performance display monitor 43. FIG. Then, the MPU 41 sets the B1 display flag to ON (step S1912), sets the B1 display time counter for displaying the previous 60,000 ball base B1 on the performance display monitor 43 for a certain period of time (step S1913), End the display control process.

<Step S1914>
If the value of the BL display time counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S1909: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the performance display switch 44 has been switched from on to off (step S1914). If the performance display switch 44 has been switched from on to off (step S1914: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1915, and if the performance display switch 44 has not been switched from on to off (step S1914: No), the End the display control process. When the performance display switch 44 is switched from ON to OFF (step S1914: Yes), the power supply to the 7-segment displays 431 to 434 is interrupted in the performance display monitor 43, thereby turning off the alphabet indicating the current base BL. and the numbers are extinguished.

<Steps S1915 and S1916>
When the performance display switch 44 is switched from ON to OFF (step S1914: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the BL display flag to OFF (step S1915) and clears the value of the BL display time counter to 0 (step S1916), the display control process ends.

<Steps S1917 and S1918>
When the B1 display flag is set to ON (step S1902: Yes), as shown in FIG. 32, the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the value of the B1 display time counter set in step S1913 of FIG. S1917), it is determined whether or not the value of the B1 display time counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S1918). When the value of the B1 display time counter after subtraction is 0 (step S1918: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1919, and when the value of the B1 display time counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S1918: No ), and the process proceeds to step S1923.

<Steps S1919 to S1922>

For example, if the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is the example shown in FIG. , “3”, and “2” are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43, and when the base information is the example shown in FIG. "8.", "2", "3", and "3" indicating that the base B2 is 33% are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431-434 constituting the performance display monitor 43. FIG. Then, the MPU 41 sets the B2 display flag to ON (step S1921), and sets the B2 display time counter corresponding to the fixed time for displaying the 60,000 ball base B2 on the performance display monitor 43 (step S1922). , the display control process ends.

<Step S1923>
If the value of the B1 display time counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S1918: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the performance display switch 44 has been switched from on to off (step S1923). If the performance display switch 44 has been switched from on to off (step S1923: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1924, and if the performance display switch 44 has not been switched from on to off (step S1923: No), End the display control process. When the performance display switch 44 is switched from ON to OFF (step S1923: Yes), the performance display monitor 43 cuts off the power supply to the 7-segment displays 431 to 434, so that the previous 60,000 ball base B1 Alphabets and numbers indicating are extinguished.

<Steps S1924 and S1925>

<Steps S1926 and S1927>
When the B2 display flag is set to ON (step S1903: Yes), as shown in FIG. 33, the MPU 41 subtracts 1 from the value of the B2 display time counter set in step S1922 of FIG. S1926), it is determined whether the value of the B2 display time counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S1927). When the value of the B2 display time counter after subtraction is 0 (step S1927: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S1928, and when the value of the B2 display time counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S1927: No ), and the process proceeds to step S1932.

<Steps S1928 to S1931>
When the value of the B2 display time counter after subtraction is 0 (step S1927: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the B2 display flag to OFF (step S1928), and the base stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 The current base BL included in the information is displayed on the performance display monitor 43 (step S1929). For example, when the base information stored in the game information storage area 412d of the RAM 412 is the example shown in FIG. 2” and “9” are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43, and when the base information is the example shown in FIG. 29B, the current base BL is 0%. "8.", "L", "0", and "0" indicating that there is, are displayed on the four 7-segment displays 431 to 434 constituting the performance display monitor 43. FIG. Then, the MPU 41 sets the BL display flag to ON (step S1930), sets a BL display time counter for displaying the current base BL on the performance display monitor 43 for a certain period of time (step S1931), and performs the display control process. exit.

<Step S1932>
If the value of the B2 display time counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S1927: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the performance display switch 44 has been switched from on to off (step S1932). If the performance display switch 44 has been switched from on to off (step S1932: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1933, and if the performance display switch 44 has not been switched from on to off (step S1932: No), the End the display control process. When the performance display switch 44 is switched from ON to OFF (step S1932: Yes), the performance display monitor 43 cuts off the energization of the 7-segment displays 431 to 434, and the 60,000-ball base B2 before the last time is displayed. Alphabets and numbers indicating are extinguished.

<Steps S1933 and S1934>
When the performance display switch 44 is switched from ON to OFF (step S1932: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the B2 display flag to OFF (step S1933), and clears the value of the B2 display time counter to 0 (step S1934), the display control process ends.

[Processing of Sound Lamp Control Device 5]
Next, the processing executed by the MPU 51 in the sound lamp control device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 to 47. FIG.

It is also conceivable as another embodiment that part or all of the processing executed by the MPU 51 of the audio lamp control device 5 in this embodiment is executed by the MPU 61 of the display control device 6 . In addition, in the sound lamp control device 5, the MPU 51 also executes control processing for the speaker 26 and the illumination unit 27, startup processing when starting up the sound lamp control device 5, NMI interrupt processing at the time of power failure, and the like. Description of these processes is omitted.

[Secondary Timer Interrupt Processing of Sound Lamp Control Device 5]
Here, FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of sub timer interrupt processing executed by the MPU 51 of the sound lamp control device 5. As shown in FIG. The MPU 51 executes, for example, sub timer interrupt processing as regular processing with a period of 1 msec.

As shown in FIG. 34, the MPU 51 performs display order setting processing (step S2000), counter update processing (step S2001), command determination processing (step S2002), variable game effect processing (step S2003) in the sub timer interrupt processing. , jackpot game effect processing (step S2004), and setting value suggestion processing (step S2005) are executed.

[Display order setting process]
In the display order setting process (step S2000), the MPU 51 refers to the game set value (set value) set to define the jackpot probability in the gaming machine 10, and displays the 7 segment display section 39 for a predetermined period. The order of numbers to be displayed is determined and stored (set). In addition, in the present embodiment, by executing the set value suggesting process in the jackpot game for a predetermined period, five numbers for specifying a plurality of (five) game set values (non-set values) other than the set value are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 in a predetermined order. Therefore, in the display order setting process, the order in which the five numbers specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 is set. Here, FIG. 35 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the display order setting process executed in the sub timer interrupt process of FIG. 34, and FIG. It is a figure which shows an example. Details of the display order setting process will be described below with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36. FIG.

<Step S2011>
As shown in FIG. 35, in the display order setting process, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the display order setting flag is set to ON (step S2011). The display order setting flag is a flag indicating that the setting of the display order of the numbers specifying the non-set values in the jackpot game for a predetermined period has been completed, and is set to ON in step S2016 of the display order setting process. . Also, the display order setting flag is initially set to OFF when the gaming machine 10 is powered on. Therefore, when the sub-timer interrupt process is executed by permitting the sub-timer interrupt process by the start-up process of the sound lamp control device, the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are displayed for a predetermined period. The numerical order is set (steps S2014 to S2016 described later). That is, in the game machine 10, the order of numbers to be displayed by the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 for a predetermined period is set when the power is turned on.

By the way, the gaming machine 10 is often turned on before the gaming hall opens. Therefore, by setting the display order of numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 with the turning on of the gaming machine 10 as a trigger, the display order of numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is set for each business day. As a result, the display order of numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is prevented from being fixed. display can be prevented from becoming monotonous.

Here, if the display order setting flag is ON (step S2011: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2012; transition to

<Steps S2012 and S2013>
If the display order setting flag is ON (step S2011: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the set value change flag is ON (step S2012). The set value change flag is a flag indicating that the game set value (set value) set to define the jackpot probability in the gaming machine 10 has been changed. It is set to ON in step S2121. When the setting value change flag is ON (step S2012: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the setting value change flag to OFF (step S2013), and then shifts the process to step S2014. That is, in the game machine 10, the order of numbers to be displayed by the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 in a predetermined period is set when the set value is changed. By setting the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display unit 39 when the setting value is changed in this way, it is possible to determine the display order of the numbers according to the setting value. It is possible to prevent the presentation of information on the display unit 39 from becoming monotonous.

On the other hand, when the set value change flag is off (step S2012: NO), the MPU 51 ends the display order setting process.

<Steps S2014 to S2016>
In step S2014, the MPU 51 acquires the set values from the RAM 512, and further refers to the set values and the number display order determination table (see FIG. 36) to set the order of numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 (see FIG. 36). step S2015). Here, FIG. 36(A) is a diagram showing an example of the number display order determination table, and FIG. 36(B) shows the display order described in the number display order determination table shown in FIG. is a diagram showing the correspondence relationship with the display order of numbers in .

As shown in FIG. 36A, in the number display order determination table, a lottery is drawn for each game set value 1 to 6 (set value 1 to 6) set to define the jackpot probability in the gaming machine 10. A random number defines the order in which the numbers are displayed. There are 120 lottery random numbers from 0 to 119, each lottery random number is associated with one display order, and each display order has the same selection probability. The display order is A1 to A120 selected for the set value 1, B1 to B120 selected for the set value 2, C1 to C120 selected for the set value 3, and set Including the display order D1 to D120 selected for the value 4, the display order E1 to E120 selected for the setting value 5, and the display order F1 to F120 selected for the setting value 6, and the setting value 1 120 display orders corresponding to all combinations of numbers indicating non-set values are set for each of .about.6.

The display order A1 to A120 selected when the setting value 1 is selected is five numbers "2" specifying the game setting values (non-set values) 2 to 6 other than the number "1" specifying the setting value 1. to define the display order of "6" (see FIG. 36(B)). That is, when the set value is 1, and one of the display orders A1 to A120 is selected according to the lottery random number, the number "1" specifying the set value 1 is seven segments. It is never displayed on the display unit 39 .

The display order B1 to B120 selected when the setting value 2 is selected specifies the setting values '1', '3' to '6' other than the number '2' which specifies the setting value 2, and the setting values 2 to 6. The order of displaying the five numbers "2" to "6" is defined (see FIG. 36(B)). That is, when the setting value is 2, and one of the display orders B1 to B120 is selected according to the lottery random number value, the number "2" specifying the setting value 2 is seven segments. It is never displayed on the display unit 39 .

The display orders C1 to C120 selected when the setting value 3 is selected are the five numerals "1", " 2” and “4” to “6” are displayed (see FIG. 36(B)). In other words, when one of the display orders C1 to C120 is selected because the set value is 3, the number "3" specifying that the set value is 3 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. never.

The display orders D1 to D120 selected when the setting value 4 is selected are the five numbers "1" to "" specifying the setting values 1 to 3, 5, and 6 other than the number "4" specifying the setting value 4. 3”, “5”, and “6” are displayed (see FIG. 36(B)). In other words, when one of the display orders D1 to D120 is selected because the set value is 4, the number "4" specifying that the set value is 4 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. never.

The display orders E1 to E120 selected when the setting value 5 is selected are the five numbers "1" to "4" specifying the setting values 1 to 4 and 6, other than the number "5" specifying the setting value 5. , "6" are displayed (see FIG. 36(B)). In other words, when one of the display orders E1 to E120 is selected because the set value is 5, the number "5" specifying that the set value is 5 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. never.

The display order F1 to F120 selected when the set value is 6 displays the five numbers "1" to "5" that specify the set values 1 to 5 other than the number "6" that specifies the set value 6. 36(B)). In other words, when one of the display orders F1 to F120 is selected because the set value is 6, the number "6" specifying that the set value is 6 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. never.

When the order of numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display unit 39 is set (step S2015), the MPU 51 sets the display order setting flag to OFF (step S2016), and ends the display order setting process. That is, when the power is turned on (step S2011: No) and when the set value is changed (step S2013: Yes), the MPU 51 is set to define the jackpot probability in the gaming machine 10. The order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 is set according to the game set values 1 to 6 (set values 1 to 6).

As described above, in the gaming machine 10, when the power is turned on, the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is determined based on the number display order determination table. The display order of numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is determined based on. This makes it possible to display numbers (non-set values) on the 7-segment display section 39 in a predetermined order during a predetermined period when a predetermined condition (for example, power-on or setting change) is satisfied. Since the game machine 10 is often turned on before the game hall opens, the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is set when the power of the game machine 10 is turned on. The display order of numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is set for each business day. As a result, the display order of numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is prevented from being fixed. display can be prevented from becoming monotonous.

In the display order setting process of the present embodiment, the display order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 is set when the game machine 10 is powered on and when the set value is changed. , the display order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 may be set when other conditions (predetermined conditions) are satisfied. Predetermined conditions in this case will be described in a third embodiment described later, but the predetermined conditions include, for example, the start of a predetermined period, the start of a jackpot game, and the opening and closing execution mode of the jackpot game. is started. Even if the display order of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 is set by satisfying these predetermined conditions, the display order of the numbers on the 7-segment display section 39 is prevented from being fixed. Therefore, repeated presentation of the same information on the 7-segment display section 39 and monotonous display of information on the 7-segment display section 39 can be prevented.

Further, in the number display order determination table shown in FIG. 36(A), for the same setting value, the probability of selecting all the number display orders is the same, but the probability of selecting the number display order is not necessarily the same. It doesn't have to be. For example, the number display order determination table may be set such that the probability of selecting at least part of the number display order for the same set value is different from other number display orders. That is, it is conceivable to make a specific display order more likely to be selected and, conversely, to make it more difficult to select a specific display order. If the probability that at least a part of the number display order is selected according to the setting value is set to be different from other number display orders, a specific number display order is likely to be selected according to the setting value. It is also possible to make it difficult to choose a particular number display order. That is, unlike the case where the probability of selecting the display order of all the numbers is the same, it is easy to specify the specific non-set values, and conversely, it is difficult to specify the specific non-set values. It is also possible to This makes it possible to adjust the degree of possibility of a high set value, the degree of possibility of a low set value, and the like. Specifically, for example, when the setting value is a low setting value (for example, a setting value of 2 or less), the display order of numbers indicating non-setting values corresponding to a high setting value (for example, a setting value of 5 or more) is delayed. can be In this case, if the setting value is low, the possibility of the setting value being high is left until the end, so that the player can expect that the setting value is high, and the setting value is low. Premature identification by the player is prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game in the gaming machine 10 from being terminated early while suppressing the decrease in interest in the game, thereby suppressing the decrease in the operating rate of the gaming machine 10 . Conversely, when the set value is a high set value (e.g. set value 5 or more), the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values corresponding to the low set value (e.g. set value 2 or less) is delayed. may In this case, the number corresponding to the high setting value and the number corresponding to the low setting value are not displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 until immediately before the setting value is identified as the high setting value. It leaves the possibility that it is at the low setting until just before it realizes that it is at the high setting. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to whether the high set value is advantageous to the player or the low set value is disadvantageous to the player, and enjoy the feeling of excitement right up to the moment when the high set value is grasped. . It is also conceivable that the display order of the numbers corresponding to the lowest game set value among the non-set values is not late, for example, the display order that makes it easy to select the slowest display order, regardless of the set value. In this case, since the number indicating the most unfavorable non-set value for the player is displayed last, until the last number is displayed, the most unfavorable non-set value for the player and the player's There remains the possibility of non-set values in favor of As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to grasp that the game set value (jackpot probability) is the most disadvantageous for the player, so that the game on the gaming machine 10 can be prevented from being terminated early. It is possible to suppress the decline in the operating rate of the machine.

Also, it is conceivable to set the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values corresponding to the high set value and the number indicating the non-set values corresponding to the low set value so that the display order of the numbers is later so that it is easy to select. For example, at least one of "1" and "2" corresponding to the low set value and at least one of "5" and "6" corresponding to the high set value are selected. It is also conceivable to make it easier for In this case as well, until just before the player grasps the set value, there is a possibility that the set value is a high set value that is advantageous to the player and a possibility that the set value is a low set value that is disadvantageous to the player. Until just before grasping, you can enjoy the thrilling feeling of whether it is a high setting value or a low setting value.

Also, except when the set value is the highest set value (the set value is 6), the display order of the numbers corresponding to the non-set values higher than the set value is set so that it is easy to select the display order of the numbers. can be considered. For example, the priority of numbers indicating non-set values that have a higher probability of favorable judgment than the set value is set higher than the number that indicates non-set values that have a lower probability of favorable judgment than the set value. can be considered. By delaying the display order of the numbers indicating non-set values higher than the set value, the player expects the possibility that the set value is higher than the actual set value just before grasping the set value. can be done. As a result, it is possible to enjoy guessing the non-set value (set value) while expecting a high possibility of the set value until just before grasping the set value. Conversely, except when the set value is the lowest set value (the set value is 1), it is easier to select the number display order in which the display order of the numbers corresponding to non-set values lower than the set value is later. It is conceivable to set For example, the priority of numbers indicating non-set values with lower probability of advantageous judgment than the set value is set higher than the number indicating non-set values with higher probability of advantage judgment than the set value. can be considered. By delaying the display order of the numbers indicating the non-set values lower than the set value in this way, the numbers indicating the non-set values corresponding to the game set values lower than the set value are displayed as non-set values immediately before the set value is grasped. It is left as a display number. As a result, the final set value candidates are the actual set value and the game set value (non-set value) lower than the set value. As a result, since the game set values that are advantageous to the player are grasped as the set values in the end, the pleasure when the set values are grasped is improved.

Also, regardless of the setting value, it is conceivable to set the display order of numbers corresponding to a high setting value (for example, a setting value of 5 or more) so that the display order of the numbers is later so that it is easy to select. Conversely, it is conceivable to set the numerical display order in which the numerical display order corresponding to the low set value (for example, the set value of 2 or less) is earlier so that it is easy to select. In this way, the numbers corresponding to the low set values are displayed earlier, and the numbers corresponding to the high set values are displayed later, so that the higher set values are displayed later. As a result, until just before the player grasps the set value, the player can expect the possibility that the set value is high, which is advantageous to the player. You can enjoy guessing (setting value).

[Counter update process]
In the counter update process (step S2001), the MPU 51 updates the first stop symbol type counter, effect pattern type counter, variation display counter, and the like. Specifically, the MPU 51 adds 1 to the counter values of the first stop symbol type counter and the effect type counter, and clears the counter values to 0 when the counter values reach the maximum values. The first stop symbol type counter updated here is used to determine the type of decoration symbol to be stopped first based on the variation pattern command received from the main controller 4 . For example, the first stop symbol type counter is a loop counter that loops between 0-99. Also, the effect pattern type counter is used to determine the effect type (effect pattern) based on the variation pattern command received from the main controller 4 . For example, the effect type counter is a loop counter that loops between 0-109. On the other hand, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the variation display counter. This variable display counter is for measuring the variable display time of the pattern display section 341, and the counter value of the variable display counter is set to 0 when the remaining variable display time becomes 0. Therefore, based on the counter value of the variation display counter, it is possible to grasp the remaining variation display time, the fact that variation is in progress, the end of the variation display of the pattern display section 341, and the like.

[Command judgment processing]
In command determination processing (step S2002), a command received from main controller 4 is determined, and processing corresponding to the command is executed. Here, FIG. 37 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of command determination processing executed in step S2002 in the sub timer interrupt processing of FIG.

<Step S2101>
As shown in FIG. 37, in step S2101, the MPU 51 determines whether or not a command has been received from the main controller 4. Here, when the MPU 51 receives a command (step S2101: Yes), the process proceeds to step S2102. On the other hand, if the MPU 51 has not received a command (step S2101: No), it ends the command determination process. Commands received from main controller 4 are stored in the unprocessed command storage area of RAM 512, and MPU 51 refers to the unprocessed command storage area to determine whether or not a command has been received. The command stored in the unprocessed command storage area is deleted from the unprocessed command storage area when it is determined that the command has been received in step S2101 and is processed, and is stored in the processing work storage area, for example. remembered.

<Step S2102>
In step S2102, the MPU 51 determines whether the received command is a variation pattern command. Here, if the MPU 51 is a variation pattern command (step S2102: Yes), the process proceeds to step S2103, and if the command is not a variation pattern command (step S2102: No), the process proceeds to step S2106.

<Step S2103>
In step S2103, the MPU 51 determines a variation pattern (stop symbol combination of decorative symbols and effect type (effect pattern)) based on the variation pattern command received from the main controller 4. FIG. Specifically, the MPU 51 includes a variation pattern command, a first stop symbol selection table (see FIG. 38 (A)) stored in advance in the ROM 511, a variation type table (see FIG. 38 (B)) and an effect type table ( 39(A) to 39(C)) and the value of the effect type counter stored in the RAM 512, the variation pattern is determined. Moreover, MPU51 sets the big-hit flag according to a big-hit classification to ON, when the information regarding a big-hit classification is contained in a variation pattern command. Specifically, the MPU 51 sets the 5R normal jackpot flag to ON when the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot, sets the 5R probability variable jackpot flag to ON when the jackpot type is the 5R probability variable jackpot, and sets the jackpot type to ON. is the 16R probability variable jackpot, the 16R probability variable jackpot flag is set to ON.

The stop symbol combination of decorative symbols consists of a first stop symbol, a second stop symbol and a final stop symbol. The first stop symbol is the decoration symbol that is stopped and displayed first in the symbol display section 341, the second stop symbol is the decoration symbol that is stopped and displayed second, and the final stop symbol is the decoration symbol that is stopped and displayed last. It is a design that The effect type table includes a normal reach effect pattern type selection table corresponding to normal reach (see FIG. 39A), a super reach effect pattern type selection table corresponding to super reach (see FIG. 39B), and a special reach. A special reach effect pattern type selection table (see FIG. 39(C)) is included.

Here, FIG. 38(A) is a diagram showing an example of the first stop symbol selection table. As shown in FIG. 38(A), in the first stop symbol selection table, a decoration symbol (first stop symbol) to be stopped and displayed first in the symbol display section 341 is determined. In addition, FIG. 38(A) shows that the decorative patterns are “1” to “9”, and “333” is a pattern combination indicating that the probability variable jackpot (either the 5R probability variable jackpot or the 16R probability variable jackpot), “777” ” is a symbol combination that indicates that it is a 16R probability variation jackpot, and that the double eyes other than “333” and “777” are either a 5R normal jackpot, a 5R probability variation jackpot and a 16R probability variation jackpot. It is assumed.

When the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", there is no sorting of "3" and "7" as the first stop symbols, and the first stop symbols are selected from decoration symbols other than "3" and "7" with a predetermined probability. It is determined. That is, when the lottery result is "5R normal jackpot", the symbol combination of "333" or "777" indicating the 5R probability variable jackpot or the 16R probability variable jackpot (variable probability jackpot) is not stopped and displayed.

Further, when the lottery result is ``5R probability variable jackpot'', ``7'' is not sorted as the first stop pattern, and the first stop pattern is determined with a predetermined probability from decoration patterns other than ``7''. That is, when the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", the symbol combination of "777" indicating the 16R probability variable jackpot is not stop-displayed. On the other hand, even if the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", double symbol combinations other than the symbol combination "333" indicating the 5R probability variable jackpot can be stop-displayed. That is, even if the lottery result is ``5R probability variable big win'', the double symbol combination other than the ``333'' symbol combination whose decorative symbol stop display result suggests 5R normal big win can be stop-displayed. Then, when the lottery result is "5R probability variable jackpot", when a decorative pattern other than "3" excluding "7" is determined as the first stop pattern, the MPU 51 indicates that the jackpot game is a 5R probability variable jackpot. The specified 5R probability variation promotion performance is executed.

Furthermore, when the lottery result is "16 probability variable jackpot", there is a distribution for all decorative patterns of "1" to "9", and the first stop with a predetermined probability from the decorative patterns of "1" to "9" Design is determined. In other words, even if the lottery result is "16R probability variable jackpot", double symbol combinations other than the "777" symbol combination indicating the 16R probability variable jackpot can be stop-displayed. That is, even if the lottery result is "16R probability variable jackpot", the stop display result of the decorative pattern indicates a 5R probability variable jackpot or 5R normal jackpot. can be When the lottery result is ``16R probability variable jackpot'' and ``7'' is determined as the first stop symbol, the MPU 51 executes the 16R probability variable promotion performance for indicating the 16R probability variable jackpot in the jackpot game. .

Then, when the lottery result is a big hit and the first stop symbol is determined, the MPU 51 determines the second stop symbol and the final stop symbol to be the same symbols as the previously determined first stop symbol. As a result, the stop symbol combination to be stop-displayed on the active line of the symbol display section 341 in the game round is determined.

On the other hand, if the lottery result is "missing", there is a distribution for all the decorative patterns "1" to "9", and the first stop pattern is determined with a predetermined probability from the decorative patterns "1" to "9". be done. Then, when the MPU 51 determines the first stop symbol when the lottery result is "losing", the losing type selected based on the losing type table (FIG. 14(D)) and the previously determined first stop symbol A second stop symbol is determined based on the symbol. For example, when the outlier type is front and rear outreach reach, the second stop symbol is determined to be the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is determined to be the symbol before and after the first stop symbol. In addition, when the out-of-order type is a ready-to-win other than front-to-rear out-of-order, the second stop symbol is determined to be the same as the first stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is different from the first stop symbol and the symbols before and after the first stop symbol. Determined by the design. Further, when the above-mentioned loss type is complete loss, the second stop symbol is determined as a symbol different from the first stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is determined regardless of the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol. The combination of decorative symbols to be stopped may be determined by the display control device 6. Only the first stop symbol is determined by the sound lamp control device 5, and the second stop symbol and the final stop symbol are determined by the display control device 6. may decide.

Therefore, the player can obtain information for specifying or estimating the non-set value at the ending of the jackpot game each time the jackpot game is executed. As a result, the player can specify or guess the non-set value each time a big win game is executed, so that the player can enjoy specifying or guessing the non-set value in the big win game. In addition, by obtaining information that can specify or estimate non-set values for each jackpot game, when the number of jackpot games increases, for example, when the number of jackpot runs increases, all (five) non-set values are grasped. In this case, it is possible to grasp the set value. In other words, the player can grasp the set value based on the specified non-set value, so that it becomes possible to guess the set value in the jackpot game, and the interest in the game is improved.

<Steps S2218 and S2219>
At step S2218, the MPU 51 sets the jackpot game effect end flag to off (step S2218). Furthermore, the MPU 51 sets the jackpot type flag (5R probability variable jackpot flag, 16R probability variable jackpot flag, or 5R normal jackpot flag) to OFF (step S2219), and ends the set value suggestion effect.

[7-segment display section control processing]
Here, FIG. 41 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the 7-segment display section control process executed in step S2214 of the setting value suggestion process of FIG.

<Step S2301 and Step S2302>
As shown in FIG. 41, in the 7-segment display unit control process, the MPU 51 first acquires the value of the special out ball counter stored in the RAM 512 by adding it in step S2208 in the set value suggesting process of FIG. (Step S2301), it is determined whether or not the value of the special out ball counter is 1 or more (Step S2302). The value of the special out ball counter is the number of special out balls that have entered the variable winning hole 316 and entered the special out ball hole 373 of the crew device 37 in the opening/closing execution mode of the big win. Then, if the value of the special out ball counter is 1 or more (step S2302: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2303, and if the value of the special out ball counter is not 1 or more, that is, is 0 ( Step S2302: No) Since none of the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 need to be lit, the 7-segment display section control process is terminated.

<Steps S2303 to S2307>
At step S2303, the MPU 51 reads the segment display section control information from the 7-segment display section control information storage area (see FIG. 42A) set in the RAM 512 of the sound lamp control device 5 (step S2303). The segment display section control information is information necessary for controlling the 7 segment display section 39 during a predetermined period (a period during which the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 is accumulated). . Then, the MPU 51 controls the 7-segment display section 39 based on the value of the special out ball counter acquired in step S2301 and the 7-segment display section control information read out from the 7-segment display section control information storage area in step S2303. is determined (step S2304), and the 7-segment display section 39 is controlled based on this control content (step S2305). Details of the determination of the control content and the control for the 7-segment display section 39 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 42 to 45. FIG. Further, the MPU 51 updates the already displayed information storage area (see FIG. 42A) of the 7-segment display section control information stored in the RAM 512 (step S2306), and clears the value of the special out ball counter. (Step S2307), the 7-segment display unit control process is terminated.

Here, FIG. 42 is a diagram for explaining the 7-segment display section control information storage area set in the RAM 512 of the sound lamp control device 5. As shown in FIG. Specifically, FIG. 42A shows an example of a 7-segment display section control information storage area, and FIG. 42B shows an example of a control order storage area of the 7-segment display section control information storage area. FIG. 42C is a diagram showing an example of an initial state (unupdated) of the already displayed information storage area of the 7-segment display section control information storage area.

As shown in FIG. 42(A), the 7-segment display section control information storage area includes a control order storage area shown in FIG. 42(B) and a previously displayed information storage area shown in FIG. 42(C).

As shown in FIG. 42(B), the control order storage area displays the 7-segment display section 39 during a predetermined period (a period during which the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 is accumulated). This is an area for storing the order of numbers to be displayed and the order of controlled objects of segments A to G when each number is displayed. This control order storage area includes a numeric display order storage area and a segment control order storage area.

In the number display order storage area, the 7-segment display unit 39 and the 7-segment display unit 39 are displayed during a predetermined period (for example, from the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening and closing execution mode of the jackpot game for the normal jackpot). It stores the order of numbers to be displayed (number display order). The number display order is determined by the display order setting process shown in FIG. 35 based on the number display order determination table (see FIG. 36), which is set for the set value that defines the probability that the lottery results of the jackpot lottery result in a big win. determined in In the number display order storage area of the example shown in FIG. 42B, in the above-described number display order setting process, the display order A1 is set based on the number display order determination table in the case of the set value 1, and 7 in a predetermined period. "2"→"3"→"4"→"5"→"6" is stored as the display order of numbers on the segment display portion 39. FIG. That is, as long as the setting is not changed during the operation of the game hall, a fixed number display order is determined for each business day, and the number display order for a predetermined period of the same business day is fixed. . In this way, by fixing the number display order in the predetermined period of the business day, every time the predetermined period starts, the numbers are displayed in the same order on the 7-segment display section 39. Numbers that are early in the numerical display order are easy to display, and numbers that are late in the numerical display order are difficult to be displayed. For example, if the number display order is "2"→"3"→"4"→"5"→"6", the numbers are displayed in this order, so "2" and "3" are likely to be displayed. On the other hand, it is difficult to display "5" and "6". As a result, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being easily specified while allowing the setting value to be estimated and specified, so that the user can enjoy estimating and specifying the setting value. In addition, since the numerical display order is fixed during the business day, numbers with early numerical display order are easy to display, and numbers with late numerical display order are difficult to be displayed. (When the jackpot probability in the low-probability mode is low), it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the setting is low even with a small number of initial wins. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from prematurely terminating the game in the gaming machine 10 during play, thereby suppressing a decrease in the operating rate of the gaming machine 10 .

In addition, it is expected that more numbers will be displayed on the 7-segment display portion 39 as the number of times of the specific period in the predetermined period increases (the number of consecutive jackpot wins increases). Therefore, as the number of consecutive jackpots increases, the number of non-set values that can be specified among a plurality of non-set values other than the set values also increases. As a result, since the number of consecutive jackpot wins increases, a large amount of information for specifying the non-set value can be obtained, so that the candidates for the set value can be narrowed down. By allowing 35 or more game balls 99 to enter the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 in a predetermined period, the player can specify all the non-set values, and as a result, recognize the set values. becomes possible. Therefore, the player can enjoy the progress of the game while aiming to identify all the non-set values, that is, to recognize the set values. The progress of the game can be enjoyed by paying attention to whether it is a normal jackpot or not, and the amusement of the game is improved.

It should be noted that the number display order is not limited to the case where it is fixed to the one set when the gaming machine 10 is turned on or when the settings are changed, and when a jackpot game for a jackpot (first win) in the low probability mode is started. may be determined to In this manner, the number display order is determined when a big win game such as the first win is started, and the number display order is determined, for example, every predetermined period. This makes it difficult for the player to guess the display order of the numbers, so that variations in the order of the numbers corresponding to the non-set values displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 are reduced. Therefore, it becomes possible to identify all non-set values with a small number of initial hits, and to recognize the set values at an early stage. As a result, for the purpose of identifying all the non-set values and recognizing the set values, the player can determine the values displayed on the 7-segment display portion 39 based on the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display portion 39 in the past. The user can enjoy the progress of the game while expecting that a number that does not exist will be displayed.

On the other hand, the segment control order storage area stores the control order (segment control order) of segments A to G when numbers are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 . The segment control order is fixed to segment A→segment B→segment C→segment D→segment E→segment F→segment G. That is, the segment control order is fixed as an order unique to the gaming machine 10 rather than being determined by power-on of the gaming machine 10, setting change, winning of a jackpot, or the like. In this way, by fixing the segment control order as an order unique to the game machine 10, the player can control the segments A to G when the numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. It becomes possible to grasp the order. This allows the player to grasp the numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 even before the numbers are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 . Therefore, the player can guess and enjoy numbers that have never been displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 based on the control order of the segments A to G, thereby enhancing the interest in the game.

It should be noted that the segment control order is fixed during the same business day by being determined when the game machine 10 is turned on or when setting values are changed, similar to the number display order, but is also determined for each business day. It is also conceivable to In this case, compared to the case where the segment control order is fixed as an order unique to the game machine 10, it becomes difficult to grasp numbers that have never been displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. FIG. This increases the difficulty of identifying all non-set values and recognizing the set value, so for example, when the set value is low (when the probability of a jackpot in low probability mode is low) , it is possible to prevent the player from early recognition of the low setting. This prevents the player from prematurely terminating the game on the gaming machine 10 during play.

In addition, the segment control order is determined when a jackpot game for a jackpot in a low probability mode is started (when a predetermined period is started), etc., as described in the third embodiment below. good too.

In the already displayed information storage area, in the initial state, all flags included in already displayed number flag information, display target number flag information, and already target segment flag information are set to OFF. Here, the initial state is the state outside the predetermined period, that is, at the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot (first jackpot) in the low probability mode (the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 at the beginning of a predetermined period for accumulating). In this embodiment, all the flags contained in the already displayed information storage area are stored when the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot in step S2405 in the ending addition image control process in FIG. That is, it is set to off (cleared) when it is a normal jackpot set at the end of the predetermined period.

43 to 45 are diagrams showing control examples (display examples) of the 7-segment display section 39 in the 7-segment display section control information storage area and update examples of the already displayed information storage area. Hereinafter, a control example (display example) of the 7-segment display section 39 and an update example of the already displayed information storage area of the 7-segment display section control information storage area will be described with reference to FIGS.

As described above, in the 7-segment display section control process of FIG. 41, the control content of the 7-segment display section 39 is determined (step S2304), and the 7-segment display section 39 is controlled at the ending of the jackpot game according to the control content. (Step S2305). Thereafter, each flag information stored in the already displayed information storage area is updated (step S2306).

The control contents of the 7-segment display unit 39 are the value of the special out ball counter acquired in step S2301 of the 7-segment display unit control process in FIG. It is determined according to the number of game balls 99 entering 373). For example, when the displayed information storage area is in the initial state (see FIG. 42(C)) and the value of the special out ball counter is less than 7, the 7 segments A to G of the 7 segment display section 39 Some of the segments are subject to lighting and extinguishing control. Specifically, for example, if the value of the special out ball counter is 5 (the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 during a specific period is 5), the control order storage area When the contents are in the state shown in FIG. 42(B) and the displayed information storage area is in the initial state shown in FIG. The five segments A to E of are subject to control of lighting and extinguishing. When the contents of the control sequence storage area are in the state shown in FIG. 42(B), the numeral 2 is displayed first, so segment A is lit, segment B is lit, and so on. Segment C is turned off, segment D is turned on, and segment E is turned on. Therefore, in the 7-segment display section 39, the segment A, segment B, and segment A shown in FIG. D and segment E are changed to an illuminated partial control state.

Note that the change from the non-controlled state shown in FIG. 43A to the partially controlled state shown in FIG. may be performed stepwise by turning on or off. Also, when the segments A to E are turned on or off in order as controlled objects, the segments A to E to be controlled may be flashed to indicate that they are controlled objects. Of course, the segment to be controlled does not necessarily have to be specified.

On the other hand, when the control of the 7-segment display section 39 ends, the already displayed information storage area is updated. For example, when the 7-segment display section 39 is changed from the non-controlled state shown in FIG. 43(A) to the partially controlled state shown in FIG. The initial state in which all flags are set to OFF is updated to the contents shown in FIG. 43(C). Specifically, in the display state shown in FIG. 43(B), five segments A to E out of segments A to G of the number 2 displayed first on the seven-segment display section 39 are controlled. segment F and G are not controlled. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 43(C), in the displayed number flag information, none of the numbers 1 to 6 are displayed. , the number 4 already displayed flag, the number 5 already displayed flag, and the number 6 already displayed flag remain off. In addition, in the displayed number flag information, the displayed number 2 flag corresponding to the number 2 whose five segments A to E are controlled is set to ON. Further, in the displayed segment flag information, since segments A to E are to be controlled, segment A already targeted flag, segment B already targeted flag, segment C already targeted flag, and segment D already targeted flag for segments A to E are displayed. , and the segment E existing flag is set to ON.

Also, when the already displayed information storage area is in the initial state (see FIG. 42(C)), the value of the special out ball counter acquired in step S2301 of the 7-segment display unit control process of FIG. When the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 during the specified period exceeds 7, at least one number (for example, 2) is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 . Specifically, for example, if the value of the special out ball counter is 10 (the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 during a specific period is 10), the 7 segment display section 39 A total of 10 segments A to G are subject to control. That is, in the 7-segment display section 39, the 7 (all) segments A to G are controlled to be turned on and off, so that the 7-segment display section 39 displays the first number in the order of display, and then the second display. The three segments A to C with respect to the number of the order are controlled for the second turn on/off. Specifically, when the contents of the control order storage area are in the state shown in FIG. 42(B) and the displayed information storage area is in the initial state shown in FIG. ), the number 2 is displayed on the 7-segment display 39 because the first number in the display order is 2, and then the number 3 is displayed. Therefore, in the 7-segment display section 39, the segments A, B, D, E and G are changed from the non-controlled state in which all the segments A to G shown in FIG. is turned on, and segments C and F are turned off, whereby the 7-segment display section 39 changes to an all-segment control state in which the number 2 is displayed. ) is changed to a partial segment control state in which the segments A to C shown in FIG. 44(C) are controlled. In the example shown in FIG. 44(C), since the second number displayed is 3, segments A to C are lit.

44(A) to the all-segment control state shown in FIG. 44(B), and from the all-segment control state shown in FIG. 44(B) to the part shown in FIG. 44(C). The change to the segment control state may be performed all at once, or may be performed stepwise by sequentially lighting or extinguishing the segments A to G or the segments A to C. Further, when the segments A to G or the segments A to C are turned on or off in order, the segment to be controlled may be flashed to clearly indicate that it is being controlled. Of course, the segment to be controlled does not necessarily have to be specified.

Further, when the 7-segment display section 39 is controlled, the previously displayed information storage area is updated. For example, the 7-segment display section 39 is changed from the non-controlled state shown in FIG. 44(A) to the partially-segment controlled state shown in FIG. 44(C) through the all-segments controlled state shown in FIG. 44(B). 45(A) and 45(B) from the initial state where all flags are set to OFF shown in FIG. 45(C) is updated. Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 44B, all the segments A to E of the segments A to G for the number 2 displayed first on the seven-segment display section 39 are to be controlled. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45A, in the already-displayed segment flag information, all already-target flags for segments A to G are set to ON. When all the target flags for the segments A to G are set to ON, the control for displaying the number 2 is finished, so as shown in FIG. The 2 already displayed flag is set to ON, and in the currently displayed number flag information, the currently displayed number 2 flag is set to OFF while the displayed number 3 flag is set to ON. After that, in the already displayed segment flag information, all the already targeted flags for the segments A to G are set to OFF. Further, as shown in FIG. 45C, in the already displayed segment flag information, the segment A existing target flag, segment B existing target flag, and segment C existing target flag for segments A to C are set to ON. That is, each time all the target flags of the already displayed segment flag information are set to ON (each time seven segments A to G are set as control targets), the displayed number flag information has become the display target. The displayed flag for the number is set to ON, and the display target flag for the number that was the display target in the displayed number flag information is set to OFF, while the display target flag for the next display target number is set to ON. set.

As described above, by controlling the 7-segment display unit 39 according to the value of the special out ball counter acquired in step S2301 and the 7-segment display unit control information, the jackpot lottery on the gaming machine 10 can be performed. All or part of the numbers corresponding to the game set values (non-set values) other than the game set values (set values) that define the probability that the lottery result will be a big win are displayed. This allows the player to specify or guess the non-set value based on the display content on the 7-segment display section 39, and as a result, it becomes possible to recognize the set value.

By the way, some game machines, such as the game machine 10 according to the present embodiment, have a plurality of set values with different jackpot winning probabilities in the jackpot lottery, and the game hall side can select the set values. In this case, the gaming hall desires to set the set value low in order to lower the expected ball output value. When the setting value is set low, it is desirable to prevent the player from stopping the game due to the player recognizing that the setting value is low. There is a tendency to hope that it is a game machine.

On the other hand, the player can guess (narrow down to a plurality of set values) or recognize the set values for the game machines having the set values in order to play the game on the gaming machine 10 with a higher expected ball output value. I hope for a playfulness. Thus, there is a tendency for game halls and players to desire contradicting gaming machines that suggest or specify game set values.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, during a specific period from the start of the first jackpot game to the end of the opening and closing execution mode of the normal jackpot, among the game balls 99 that have won the variable winning port 316, the special A game ball (special out ball) entering the out ball mouth 373 is retained in the retention lane 381 of the game ball retention part 38.例文帳に追加Then, the number of game balls 99 (special out balls) staying in the staying lane 381 after the elapse of a specific period is counted, and segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are controlled according to the number of counts. do. In other words, the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are neither controlled nor illuminated unless at least the lottery results in the jackpot lottery result in a jackpot and the game is shifted to the jackpot game. Therefore, the setting values are not assumed or recognized unless the game is shifted to a big winning game.

In addition, it is difficult for the game ball 99 to enter the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37. A game ball 99 is expected to enter. Therefore, it is difficult to specify or guess the non-set value by the 7-segment display section 39 in one big win. On the other hand, the 7-segment display unit 39 starts a jackpot game (opening) that is executed when the lottery result in the low-probability mode becomes a jackpot. It is controlled according to the total number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in a predetermined period until the start). In other words, if the first win is a probability variable jackpot, the predetermined period will not end as long as the jackpot succession in the high probability mode continues, and the normal jackpot game will be opened and closed when the normal jackpot is won. Continue until the mode ends. That is, in the present embodiment, although it has a game property that it is not easy to recognize the non-set value and the set value, the more the jackpot succession in the high probability mode continues, the more the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 When many game balls 99 are expected to enter, the non-set value (set value) can be estimated more accurately, and 35 or more game balls 99 enter the special out ball opening 373 in a predetermined period A non-set value (set value) can be specified reliably. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, there is information that allows estimation of the set value according to the number of specific conditions that have been established in a predetermined period, that is, the number of game balls that have entered the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 in a predetermined period. Since the expected value of the number of game balls 99 entering the special out ball opening 373 is low in the single-shot jackpot, the non-set value (set value) is difficult to guess or recognize. On the other hand, in the case of jackpot consecutive games, if the number of consecutive games is small, it is difficult to guess or recognize the non-set value (set value). Since the expected value of the number of hits of 99 is high, the difficulty of guessing the non-set value (set value) is reduced. That is, in this embodiment, the set value can be estimated by specifying or estimating part or all of the plurality of non-set values by stacking all or part of the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. be. In this way, in the gaming machine 10, by suppressing the setting value from being easily identified or guessed (narrowed down), the non-set value (set value) can be set more accurately by the jackpot series while meeting the wishes of the store. By making it possible to guess, it is possible to meet the wishes of the player side. As a result, the gaming machine 10 that meets the wishes of both the store side and the player side is provided.

By the way, in a conventional slot machine, a display device such as a liquid crystal display device on which a game effect is executed may display an image suggesting or specifying a set value. Images that suggest or indicate set values are displayed, for example, on the jackpot confirmation screen, jackpot start screen, jackpot end screen, start screen for ART or AT, continuation screen, and end screen, and the content of the displayed image is determined by lottery. be done. Specifically, in an image display unit such as a liquid crystal display device, in addition to a default screen that does not suggest or indicate a set value as a jackpot game end screen, etc., there is a certain probability that a specific set value or more (for example, intermediate setting value (setting values 4 to 6) or higher), high setting value (for example setting value 5 or 6), odd setting value (for example setting value 1, 3 or 5), even setting value ( For example, setting value 2, 4 or 6), not a specific setting value (e.g. negation of setting value 1), or the highest setting value (e.g. setting value 6) are presented. .

However, in suggesting or specifying setting values in conventional slot machines, there is a high probability that a default screen that does not suggest or specify setting values will be presented so that setting values cannot be easily specified or guessed. The probability that a suggestive or explicit screen is presented is set low. In particular, the probability of suggesting or indicating a set value that the set value is advantageous to the player or indicating that the set value is a specific set value is set low. In addition, the suggestion of the odd set value or the even set value tends to have a low reliability, and the reliability is often set to about 60%, for example. Further, slot machines suggest or specify a high setting, but do not suggest or specify a high setting (e.g., setting 5 or 6), especially the highest setting. No suggestion or explicit denial of a set value (eg, set value of 6) is performed. That is, the slot machine does not present disadvantageous information to the player, such as denying the high set value.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, as described above, it is set according to the number of specific conditions established in a predetermined period, that is, the number of game balls entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in a predetermined period. Information whose value can be estimated (non-set value) is displayed as a number on the 7-segment display section 39 . That is, by displaying the numbers of the non-set values one by one on the 7-segment display section 39, it is possible to specify or guess a part of the non-set values, so that the set values can be guessed. Since all non-set values can be recognized by displaying numbers, it is possible to specify the set values.

As described above, in this embodiment, the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 are fundamentally different from those that suggest or indicate set values at a constant rate, as is employed in gaming machines such as slot machines. The set value can be recognized by specifying a plurality of non-set values based on. In addition, in this embodiment, a non-set value (set value) is specified depending on the number of specific conditions (entering the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373) that are satisfied during the jackpot game in a predetermined period. Or it is suggested, and in this respect also, it is different from the conventional gaming machine in which the suggestion or indication of the set value is executed at a constant rate. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as the number of consecutive jackpot wins increases, the difficulty of identifying or guessing some or all of the plurality of non-set values decreases. is different from suggesting or specifying the set value of

Then, in this embodiment, numerical information indicating a plurality of non-set values depending on the number of specific conditions (entering the game ball 99 into the special out ball opening 373) that are satisfied during the jackpot game for a predetermined period of time. is presented, unlike conventional gaming machines, the frequency of presentation of information for specifying the set value does not decrease, and as long as the predetermined period continues (a series of jackpots continues Since the presentation of the information for specifying the non-set value (set value) is continued for as long as possible), it is possible to further enjoy guessing the set value, and the amusement of the game is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, all non-set values can be identified when a specific condition is satisfied for the number of non-set values during a predetermined period. In other words, regardless of whether the non-set value is high or low, all non-set values are presented to the player, including information that is disadvantageous to the player. As described above, in the present embodiment, unlike the case where setting values are suggested or specified in conventional slot machines, even information that is disadvantageous to the player is presented such as denying the maximum setting value. As a result, the player can obtain not only advantageous information but also disadvantageous information as the information for specifying or estimating the setting value, so that the player can continue playing the game on the gaming machine 10 based on the disadvantageous information. It is possible to judge whether or not On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is conceivable to set the display order of numbers corresponding to a high set value (for example, a set value of 5 or more) so that the display order of numbers is later so that it is easy to select. Conversely, it is conceivable to set the numerical display order in which the numerical display order corresponding to the low set value (for example, the set value of 2 or less) is earlier so that it is easy to select. In this way, the numbers corresponding to the low set values are displayed earlier, and the numbers corresponding to the high set values are displayed later, so that the higher set values are displayed later. As a result, until just before the player grasps the set value, the player can expect the possibility that the set value is high, which is advantageous to the player. You can enjoy guessing (setting value).

[Ending addition image control processing]
Here, FIG. 46 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the ending addition image control process executed in step S2215 in the setting value suggestion process of FIG.

<Steps S2401 to S2403>
As shown in FIG. 46, in the ending addition image control process, the MPU 51 updates in step S2401 with various information in the already displayed information storage area updated in step S2306 of FIG. The already displayed number flag information, the currently displayed number flag information, and the already displayed segment flag information are read, and based on these information, an additional image to be displayed on the symbol display section 341 at the ending of the jackpot game is determined (step S2402). Here, the additional image is an image that indicates the display content of the 7-segment display section 39, and is an image that can specify or guess the non-set value (FIGS. 47(B1), 47(B2) and 47(C). )reference). Then, the MPU 51 transmits to the display control device 6 an additional image display command for causing the pattern display section 341 to display the additional image determined in step S2402 in the ending effect. As a result, the symbol display portion 341 displays an additional image as an ending effect.

Here, FIG. 47 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition in the ending effect of the jackpot game. Specifically, FIG. 47 (A1) is a screen example of the symbol display section 341 in the first half of the ending in the probability variable jackpot game, and FIG. 47 (A2) is a screen of the symbol display section 341 in the first half of the ending in the normal jackpot. For example. 47(B1), 47(B2), and 47(C) are screen examples (setting value suggesting screen examples) of the symbol display section 341 in the second half of the ending.

As shown in FIG. 47 (A1), in the ending of the probability variable jackpot game, as the first half part of the ending production, the pattern display unit 341 clearly indicates that the transition to the high probability mode and high frequency support mode is performed after the probability variable jackpot game ends. image is displayed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 47 (B1), in the ending of the normal jackpot game, as the first half part of the ending production, the pattern display unit 341 displays a low probability mode and a low frequency support mode (time reduction mode) after the end of the normal jackpot game. An image is displayed that clearly indicates the transition to . In addition, in the first half part of the ending effect, in addition to an image clearly showing the game mode to be shifted after the end of the big win game, an image showing the number of consecutive jackpot games and the number of balls to be played is displayed.

On the other hand, in the second half of the ending effect of the jackpot game, the image including the additional image determined in step S2402 of the ending additional image control process of FIG. Is displayed. As shown in FIGS. 47(B1), 47(B2) and 47(C), the additional image shows the display history on the 7-segment display section 39 until the end of one predetermined period. It includes five setting value suggesting images imitating a 7-segment display 39 on which numbers corresponding to non-setting values can be displayed. Specifically, when the 7-segment display section 39 is controlled from the initial state shown in FIG. 43A to the display state shown in FIG. An additional image including an image simulating the display state of is displayed in the pattern display section 341 as the second half part of the ending effect. Further, when the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled from the initial state shown in FIG. 43(A) through FIG. 44(B) to the display state shown in FIG. 44(B) and a setting value suggesting image simulating the display state shown in FIG. Is displayed. Furthermore, when all five numbers corresponding to non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 by the end of the predetermined period, each number is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 as shown in FIG. 47(C). An additional image including a set value suggestion image imitating the displayed state is displayed in the pattern display section 341 as the second half part of the ending effect. In the example shown in FIG. 47(C), an image is displayed indicating that the numbers “2” to “6” other than the number “1” are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 . In this case, it can be identified that the non-set value is "2" to "6", and as a result, it can be recognized that the set value is "1".

Thus, in the ending effect of the jackpot game, the display history of the 7-segment display section 39 until the end of one predetermined period is added as the second half part including five setting value suggesting images imitating the 7-segment display section 39. displayed as an image. Therefore, at the ending of each jackpot game, the player can confirm the information about the non-set value displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 until the jackpot game. As a result, when the 7-segment display section 39 does not know that the information about the non-setting value is displayed, or when the display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 are overlooked, or when the past 7-segment display section in the predetermined period Even if the display content on the 39 is forgotten, the display content on the 7-segment display section 39 can be recognized again. Therefore, the player can identify or guess the non-set value in the ending and recognize or guess the set value based on the additional image showing the display history of the 7-segment display section 39 for each jackpot game.

As the ending effect of the jackpot game, it is a matter of design whether or not an additional image showing the display history of the 7-segment display portion 39 until the end of one predetermined period is displayed on the pattern display portion 341 or not. It is conceivable that the additional image is not displayed on the pattern display portion 341 in . In this way, when the additional image is not displayed in the ending effect, if there is a number that was displayed in the past during a predetermined period of time, it will be displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 first unless the number is stored or recorded. It becomes difficult to identify or guess the non-set value based on the number entered, and thus to guess or recognize the set value. That is, by not displaying the additional image in the ending effect, the difficulty of specifying or estimating the non-set value (set value) is increased, so that the set value of the gaming machine 10 can be recognized early, and at least the set value is not high. can be prevented from being recognized. As a result, the game of the gaming machine 10 can be prevented from being terminated early, and the decrease in the operating rate of the gaming machine 10 can be suppressed.

<Step S2404>
Returning to the description of FIG. 46, in step S2404, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot type that triggered the execution of the jackpot game is the 5R normal jackpot. Whether or not the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot can be determined based on whether or not the 5R normal jackpot flag that can be set to ON in step S2103 of FIG. 37 is ON. Then, when the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot (step S2404: Yes), the process proceeds to step S2305, and when the jackpot type is not the 5R normal jackpot (step S2404: No), the ending addition image control process exit.

<Step S2405>
When the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot (step S2404: Yes), the MPU 51 initializes the already displayed information storage area (sets all flags to off), and terminates the ending addition image control process. That is, the MPU 51 initializes the previously displayed information storage area when the jackpot is a 5R normal jackpot in which the end of a predetermined period is set.

As described above, in the present embodiment, while the non-set value (set value) can be identified or estimated, in order to identify the non-set value (set value) or increase the accuracy of estimation, in a predetermined period It is necessary to enter more game balls 99 into the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37, and the hurdles are high until the non-set value (set value) is specified. Therefore, there is an advantage for the game hall that the set values are not easily known to the players. On the other hand, the player has the advantage of being able to specify or guess the set value. In addition, it is possible to specify or guess the set value when winning the jackpot lottery. The gaming machine 10 can be provided with the game property of becoming recognizable. As a result, it is possible to improve the amusement of the game while meeting the wishes of both the game hall and the player.

Also, when a jackpot game is started, the game is ended in the middle of the jackpot game unless there are special circumstances, and the game is not ended during the high probability mode when the high probability mode is set. Therefore, since the predetermined period is the period from the start of the first winning jackpot game to the end of the normal jackpot opening/closing execution mode, the player is prevented from finishing the game before the predetermined period ends. As a result, even if a player who does not know the timing (the end of the predetermined period) at which the non-set value (set value) can be specified or guessed progresses the game, the non-set value (set value) can be specified or estimated. It is possible to prevent the game from ending just before it becomes possible to guess. Therefore, even a player who does not know the timing at which the non-set value (set value) can be specified or guessed can guess or recognize the non-set value (set value). In addition, it is possible to eliminate so-called hyena actions of other players who play games aiming at timings at which non-set values (set values) can be specified or guessed.

In addition, since the start of the predetermined period is the start time of the jackpot game triggered by the jackpot winning in the low-probability mode for the first time, at least one time until the non-set value (set value) can be specified or guessed. Not only is the jackpot winning a condition, but even if the predetermined period has started, the hurdles to identifying the non-set value (set value) are high as described above, so the non-set value (set value) is guessed or specified to some extent, a considerable number of game balls 99 are shot onto the game board 31, and a considerable number of jackpot lotteries are received. Therefore, at the stage where the set value can be estimated or specified with high accuracy, there is a high possibility that the number of unit jackpot lotteries (ease of receiving the jackpot lottery) can be sufficiently determined. As a result, when the player can guess or specify the non-set value (set value) with high accuracy, the game machine 10 during the game including not only the non-set value (set value) but also the unit jackpot lottery number of times. Since it is possible to determine the ball output performance of the player, it is possible to determine whether to continue the game. For example, even if the set value is low, if the unit jackpot lottery number of times is large, it is possible to make a decision to continue the game by comprehensively considering it. On the other hand, even if the set value is high, if the unit jackpot lottery number of times is small, it is possible to give up the continuation of the game by comprehensively considering it.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 10, information for specifying or estimating the non-set value is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, and the display history in the 7-segment display section 39 for a predetermined period is displayed at the ending of the jackpot game. It is displayed on the display unit 341 . Therefore, at the ending of each jackpot game, the player can confirm the information about the non-set value displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 until the jackpot game. As a result, when the 7-segment display section 39 does not know that the information about the non-setting value is displayed, or when the display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 are overlooked, or when the past 7-segment display section in the predetermined period Even if the display content on the 39 is forgotten, the display content on the 7-segment display section 39 can be recognized again. Therefore, for each jackpot game, the player identifies or guesses the non-set value in the ending based on the additional image showing the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39, recognizes or guesses the set value, and progresses the game. can enjoy.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display history of the 7-segment display portion 39 for a predetermined period is displayed on the symbol display portion 341 at the ending of the jackpot game. It may be displayed on the display unit such as the symbol display unit 341 after the end of the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. In other words, the display history for a predetermined period may be displayed during a special period other than the specified period. For example, in a standby state in which neither a variable game nor a jackpot game is being executed, a predetermined operation of the gaming machine 10 by the player causes the display unit such as the symbol display unit 341 to display the display history of the 7-segment display unit 39 for a predetermined period. It is conceivable to display Thus, by displaying the display history in the predetermined period in the 7-segment display section 39 on the pattern display section 341 or the like after the end of the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set, the past 7-segment display can be performed. It is possible to confirm the contents displayed in the section 39 when the contents are forgotten. This makes it possible to specify or guess the non-set value based on the past display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 . Displaying the display history on the pattern display unit 341 or the like in the standby state or the like will be described in detail in a fourth embodiment described later.

In this way, when the display history can be displayed on the pattern display section 341 or the like in the standby state, etc., it is possible to check the past display contents on the 7-segment display section 39 in the event of forgetting. There are advantages. On the other hand, if the display history can be displayed on the symbol display unit 341 or the like in the standby state or the like, anyone can check the display history by performing a predetermined operation on the empty gaming machine 10. can be done. In other words, it becomes possible to specify or guess a non-set value (set value) by piggybacking on a privilege obtained by another person, and so-called hyena behavior is permitted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is not allowed to check the display history in the predetermined period on the 7-segment display section 39 after the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. In other words, the display of the specific information indicating the non-set value including the display history for the predetermined period is restricted except for the specified period. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the hyena act of specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value) by piggybacking on the privilege obtained by others.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the first hit is a probability variable jackpot, a predetermined period is set from the start of the first jackpot game to the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot in the high probability mode, One predetermined period may be set for each jackpot regardless of the jackpot type. That is, a predetermined period may be set for each jackpot game, regardless of whether it is the first hit or the consecutive win. In this case, the predetermined period starts when the jackpot game or the opening/closing execution mode starts, and ends when the jackpot game or the opening/closing execution mode ends.

Further, in the present embodiment, a number corresponding to a non-set value is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39. Instead of or in addition to displaying the number corresponding to the non-set value, the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a big win. In this case, the numbers or alphabets corresponding to the non-set values are displayed in the first special symbol display portion 362 or the second special symbol display portion 363, and the non-set values are specified in the symbol display portion 341. A ready-to-win effect may be executed. As the non-set value explicit ready-to-win effect, when the lottery result of the big win lottery is a big win, it is conceivable to stop and display the decoration pattern with double numbers corresponding to the non-set value, for example. Thus, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the number corresponding to the non-set value is displayed in the first special symbol display portion 362 or the second special symbol display portion 363, and the symbol display portion 341 is non-set. By executing the non-set value explicit reach performance that specifies the set value, not only is the lottery result in the big win lottery in the variable game a big win, but also the player can see the first special symbol display part 362 in the variable game. Alternatively, focusing on the numbers stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display portion 363, and focusing on the combination of decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the symbol display portion 341, the variation game can be enjoyed. In addition, when the non-set value explicit ready-to-win effect is executed as one of the ready-to-win effects, in the ready-to-win of the decorative pattern of the numbers corresponding to the set value, the numbers are not aligned in doubles and are stopped and displayed as a misalignment. It is also possible. For example, when the set value is 1, the decorative symbols can be stopped at "222", "333", "444", "555" and "666", but not displayed at "111". The reach when is 1 will always miss. In this way, it is usually desirable that the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed with the double number corresponding to the set value, but for example, 5 or 6, which negates the high set value. Since it is desirable not to stop and display with double eyes, it is possible to enjoy reach effects from a different perspective than before.

In addition, the display of numbers or the like corresponding to the non-set value on the first special symbol display portion 362 or the second special symbol display portion 363, or the non-set value explicit ready-to-win effect can be executed only at a specific timing. is also conceivable. By executing the display of numbers corresponding to the non-set value or the non-set value explicit reach effect on the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363 limited to a specific timing in this way, A game can be enjoyed by paying attention to a variable game executed at a specific timing.

As the specific timing, for example, in the variable game executed in the probability variable gaming state or the time saving gaming state, the lottery result in the jackpot lottery in the first special symbol display unit 362 or the second special symbol display unit 363, and the symbol display unit 341 is a big hit. By specifying or suggesting a non-set value in the variable game in the probability variable gaming state or the time saving game state in this way, the high frequency support mode quickly digests the hold, and the probability variable gaming state or the time saving gaming state that tends to become monotonous You can enjoy the variable game in. In addition, it is conceivable to set the specific timing when the number of variable games executed after shifting to the variable probability gaming state or the time saving gaming state is within a predetermined number of times. For example, the predetermined number of times range, if the number of variable games to be executed after shifting to the probability variable gaming state is small (eg 1 to 10 times) or large (eg 100 times or more, 150 times or more, 200 times or more, etc. ). That is, when the jackpot occurs early after shifting to the variable probability gaming state, or when the number of times of variable games before reaching the jackpot becomes a hooked state, the non-set value may be specified or suggested. In this case, the non-set value is indicated or suggested as a privilege for the early jackpot after the end of the jackpot game, or as a remedy for the addiction. In addition, the predetermined number of times range, when the number of variable games to be executed after the transition to the time-saving gaming state is small (eg 1 to 10 times), or just before the end of the time-saving gaming state (eg 90 times to 100 times) It is conceivable to set In this case, a non-set value is specified or suggested as a privilege for a big win early after the end of the big win game or a big win just before the end of the time saving.

[Other embodiments]
Another embodiment of the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention will be described below. Further, in the following other embodiments, the description of the same configuration as the gaming machine 10 described in the first embodiment and the same steps as the processing procedure will be omitted. It is also possible to select and arbitrarily combine the configurations and processing functions of the first embodiment described above and the other embodiments described below.

[Second embodiment]
In the above-described first embodiment, for each jackpot game executed in a predetermined period (period from the start of the jackpot game for the first jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening and closing execution mode in the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot) A specific period (period from the start of the jackpot game to the end of the open/close execution mode) is set, and the number of game balls that satisfy a specific condition (99 game balls entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 within the specific period) number), in the ending of the jackpot game in which the specific period is set, all or part of the specific information (numbers) corresponding to each of the plurality of non-set values (set values) is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 I explained the case where it is presented to

By the way, as in the above-described first embodiment, when a specific period is set for each jackpot game executed in a predetermined period, a plurality of specific periods corresponding to the number of consecutive jackpot games are set. set within the period. Therefore, in the jackpot series, all or part of the specific information corresponding to the non-set value (set value) is presented on the 7-segment display section 39 for each ending of each jackpot game. In other words, all or part of the specific information is divided and presented a plurality of times in the jackpot series. However, when all or part of the specific information is presented on the 7-segment display section 39 for each ending of the jackpot game, that is, when all or part of the specific information is presented in multiple times, the If the specific information presented at the ending of the jackpot game is not stored or recorded, it is impossible to specify the non-set value (set value) based on the specific information presented at the ending of the jackpot game to be executed first. become difficult. That is, if the specific information presented in the past on the 7-segment display section 39 is not accurately stored or recorded, it is difficult to effectively specify or guess the non-set value (set value). Therefore, in order to effectively specify or guess the non-set value (set value), there is the trouble of accurately storing or recording the specific information presented on the 7-segment display section 39 in the past. It is also assumed that the player gives up specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value). In this case, the significance of improving the enjoyment of the game by being able to specify or guess the non-set value (set value) is lost.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, unlike the above-described first embodiment, the specific period is not set as the predetermined period, but based on the number of specific conditions that are satisfied in the predetermined period, one time per predetermined period Only once, specific information is presented to identify or infer non-set values (set values). As described above, in the present embodiment, specific information for specifying or estimating a non-set value (set value) is used only once for one predetermined period based on the number of specific conditions that are satisfied during the predetermined period. is presented. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the inconvenience caused when the specific information is presented a plurality of times during the predetermined period as in the first embodiment described above is resolved. That is, in this embodiment, the specific information is presented only once after the end of the predetermined period of time for one predetermined period of time. There is no specific information to remember or record. As a result, the player can identify or guess the non-set value (set value) by paying attention to the specific information that is presented only once for one predetermined period. This eliminates the troublesomeness of accurately storing or recording specific information. Therefore, the player can easily and effectively specify or guess the non-set value (set value), and can enjoy the game while specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value). Interest is enhanced.

In one example of the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, the predetermined period is a period from the start of the jackpot game for the jackpot in the low probability mode to the end of the opening and closing execution mode of the normal jackpot game for the normal jackpot. , A specific condition is that the game ball is entered into the special out ball mouth of the crew device. In one example of the present embodiment, the specific information is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above, but the display timing (specified period) of the specific information is set to one predetermined period. On the other hand, it is only the ending (after the end of the predetermined period) in the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. That is, the specific information is presented on the 7-segment display section 39 only once after the predetermined period has ended. Therefore, in the present embodiment, some steps of the setting value suggesting process, the 7-segment display section control process, and the ending addition image control process are different from those in the above-described first embodiment.

Here, FIG. 48 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the set value suggesting process executed by the sound lamp control device 5 of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 50 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the 7-segment display section control process executed in FIG. 48, and FIG. Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 to 50, focusing on differences from the first embodiment described above.

[Set value suggestion process]
As shown in FIG. 48, in the set value suggestion process of the present embodiment, when the ending of the jackpot game is started (step S2201: Yes), the set value suggestion process of the first embodiment (see FIG. 40 ), on the condition that the jackpot game is a 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set (step S2501: Yes), the game ball entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 A process of controlling the vertical movement of the stopper portion 383 of the game ball retention portion 38 for receiving 99 and counting the number of game balls 99 retained in the game ball retention portion 38 for a predetermined period is executed (steps S2202 to S2213). . As a result, in the present embodiment, when the predetermined period ends, in the 5R normal jackpot for which the end of the predetermined period is set, the game ball 99 that entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 during the predetermined period is counted at one time.

Also, in the set value suggesting process of the present embodiment, on the condition that the game is a 5R normal jackpot game (step S2501: Yes), the vertical movement of the stopper portion 383 of the game ball retention portion 38 is controlled, and the game ball retention is performed for a predetermined period of time. By executing the process of counting the number of game balls 99 staying in the unit 38 (steps S2202 to S2213), the 7-segment display unit control process (step S2502) and the ending addition image control process (step S2503) are also performed. , Based on the flag during the stopper portion downward movement set on the condition that it is a 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set (step S2203), it is executed on the condition that it is a 5R normal jackpot game (step S2501: Yes).

[7-segment display section control processing]
The 7-segment display unit control process in the present embodiment is executed when the ending of the 5R normal jackpot game is started as described above (when the opening/closing execution mode (predetermined period) ends). Further, as shown in FIG. 49, the 7-segment display section control processing in this embodiment is basically the same as the 7-segment display section control processing (see FIG. 41) in the first embodiment described above. When the value of the special out ball counter is 1 or more (step S2302: Yes), instead of reading the control order of the 7-segment display control information and the already displayed information (see FIG. 42), the 7-segment display control Only the control order of information is read (step S2504). That is, in the 7-segment display section control process of the present embodiment, the 7-segment display section is displayed only at the ending of the 5R normal jackpot (after the end of the predetermined period) in which the end of the predetermined period is set for one predetermined period. 39 is controlled (presentation of specific information), there is no need to read the already displayed information and control the 7-segment display section 39 .

[Ending addition image control processing]
As shown in FIG. 50, the ending addition image control process in this embodiment is basically the same as the ending addition image control process (see FIG. 46) of the first embodiment described above, but the first Step S2404 at the end of the ending addition image control process in the embodiment is omitted. That is, since the ending addition image control processing of the present embodiment is executed with the 5R normal jackpot as a trigger (Yes in step S2501 of the setting value suggestion processing in FIG. 48), until it is determined that the 5R normal jackpot Shortly thereafter, the already displayed information storage area is initialized in step S2405.

As described above, in the present embodiment, specific information (number ) is presented in whole or in part. Therefore, there is no specific information presented in the past during the predetermined period, and there is no specific information to be memorized or recorded by the player. As a result, the player can identify or guess the non-set value (set value) by paying attention to the specific information that is presented only once for one predetermined period. This eliminates the trouble of accurately storing or recording specific information. Therefore, the player can easily and effectively specify or guess the non-set value (set value), and can enjoy the game while specifying or guessing the non-set value (set value). Interest is enhanced.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the above-described first embodiment are possible within the applicable range.

[Third embodiment]
In the above-described first embodiment, a plurality of non-set values (set values) are specified or guessed after the elapse of the specified period (the ending of the jackpot game) based on the number of times the specified condition is satisfied during the specified period. The case where all or part of the specific information (numbers) for the purpose is presented on the 7-segment display section 39 has been described. Further, in the above-described first embodiment, in the 7-segment display section 39, the numbers corresponding to the non-set values as the specific information are displayed in a number display order determined when the gaming machine 10 is powered on or when the set values are changed. (See FIG. 36). Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where numbers are displayed in the 7-segment display section 39 is fixed is described.

By the way, in the above-described first embodiment, a plurality of numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values as specific information are displayed in a number display order (Fig. ), the numbers are displayed in the same order unless the gaming machine 10 is turned off or the set value is changed. The control order of segments A to G is fixed. Therefore, if the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period is less than the number of specific conditions satisfied in the preceding predetermined period, only a smaller amount of information than the already presented specific information can be obtained, Unable to obtain new specific information. As a result, when it is expected that the number of specific conditions to be met in a predetermined number of times is small, for example, in a single-shot jackpot game, it is possible to determine whether or not the specific conditions are met in a specific period of time. , there is a concern that interest in specific information presented after the elapse of a specific period of time will decrease.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the order of presenting the specific information (number display order and segment display order) is determined (changed). In this way, by determining the order of presenting specific information when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period is greater than the number of specific conditions satisfied in the preceding predetermined period. New specific information may be obtained even when there is little Therefore, even if it is expected that the number of specific conditions to be met in a predetermined number of times is small, for example, in a jackpot game for a single-shot jackpot, it is possible to determine whether or not the specific conditions are met in a specific period of time. It is possible to make the user interested in the specific number of conditions, and to make the user interested in the specific information presented after the elapse of the specific period. As a result, it is possible to more effectively improve the interest in the game by presenting specific information that can specify or guess the non-set value (set value) according to the number that satisfies a specific condition. Become.

The predetermined conditions for determining (changing) the order of presenting the specific information include, for example, winning a jackpot, opening the jackpot game, opening/closing execution mode, or starting the ending of the jackpot game. can be considered. By setting a predetermined condition in this manner, the order of presentation of the specific information is determined (changed) each time a jackpot game is executed. Therefore, since the order of presentation of the specific information is prevented from being fixed, it is possible to prevent the same specific information from being repeatedly presented and the presentation of the specific information from becoming monotonous. As a result, it is expected that new information will be obtained as specific information each time a jackpot game is executed. As a result, for example, the presentation order of the specific information in the jackpot game can be made interesting, so that the interest in the jackpot game can be improved.

In addition, as a predetermined condition, winning a specific jackpot (for example, a variable jackpot, a normal jackpot, or a jackpot in a low probability mode), a specific jackpot game (for example, a variable jackpot, a normal jackpot, or a low probability mode) It is conceivable that the opening of the jackpot game for the jackpot), the opening/closing execution mode, or the ending of the jackpot game is started. By setting the predetermined conditions in this manner, the number of times the specific information presentation order is determined (changed) is reduced compared to when the predetermined conditions are not limited to specific jackpots or jackpot games. Therefore, by reducing the possibility that new information will be presented with respect to the previously presented specific information, it becomes more difficult to specify all non-set values (specify set values). , it is possible to prevent all non-set values from being identified (set values are identified) early. As a result, for example, when the set value is low, it is possible to prevent the player from prematurely ending the game on the gaming machine 10 during play.

Further, the predetermined condition may be the start or end of a predetermined period or a specific period. By setting a predetermined condition in this way, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) for each predetermined period or each specific period. Therefore, it is expected that new information will be obtained as specific information every predetermined period or every specific period. As a result, the order in which the specific information is presented can be made interesting, and thus the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, as the predetermined condition, it is conceivable that a specific effect is determined or executed as a variable game effect. The specific effect in this case may be set to either a non-reach effect or a reach effect, for example. Typically, the specific effect includes a premium effect in which a jackpot or a probability variable jackpot is fixed among variable game effects. Furthermore, as a specific effect, it is conceivable that the decorative symbols are displayed in a specific combination in the symbol display section 341 to be stop-displayed or temporarily-stopped-displayed (intermediate stop-displayed). For example, when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed at "777" in the pattern display unit 341, when it is stopped and displayed at a specific reach-off point such as "767", a specific non-reach-off point such as "367" Temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) can be considered. As a temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) that clearly indicates that the development effect is to be executed, a temporary stop display (intermediate stop display) is performed with the left and right decorative patterns in the ready-to-win state, such as "7 development 7". It is conceivable that a symbol, such as "development", which clearly indicates that a development effect is to be executed, is temporarily stopped and displayed. Even when a predetermined condition is set in this way, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed) for each predetermined period or each specific period. Therefore, it is expected that new information will be obtained as the specific information every predetermined period or every specific period. As a result, the order in which the specific information is presented can be made interesting, and thus the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, as the predetermined condition, it is conceivable that the one-shot jackpot is consecutive multiple times, or that the presentation order of the same specific information is consecutive multiple times. By setting a predetermined condition in this way, when it is difficult to obtain new information as the specific information, the presentation order of the specific information is determined (changed). Therefore, since it becomes easier to obtain new information as the specific information, it is possible to reduce the feeling of boredom when the new specific information cannot be obtained, and to suppress the loss of interest in the game.

In addition, if the predetermined condition is satisfied before the predetermined period starts, for example, the order of presentation of the specific information determined (changed) may be prioritized with respect to the predetermined condition that is satisfied first. Priority may be given to the presentation order of specific information that is determined (changed) for a predetermined condition that is satisfied.

In one example of the present embodiment, a plurality of non-settings as specific information on the condition that a jackpot game for a jackpot in a low probability mode is started (a predetermined period is started, a first jackpot game is started) The display order of the numbers corresponding to each value and the segment display order when each number is displayed are determined, and according to these display orders, the end of the predetermined period is set. After the passage of time), all or part of the numbers for specifying a plurality of non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 .

Here, FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the display order setting process executed by the sound lamp control device 5 of the game machine 10 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 52 is the procedure of the display order setting process of FIG. It is a figure which shows an example of the table referred by. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 51 and 52, focusing on display order setting processing, which is different from the first embodiment described above.

[Display order setting process]
<Step S2601>
As shown in FIG. 51, in the display order setting process in the present embodiment, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot game effect start flag is set to ON (step S2601). The jackpot game effect start flag is a flag indicating that the jackpot game effect is started, and is set to ON in step S2108 of the command determination process in FIG. Then, when the jackpot game effect start flag is on (step S2601: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S2602, and when the jackpot game effect start flag is off (step S2601: No), the display order End the setting process.

<Step S2602>
When the jackpot game effect start flag is ON (step S2601: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot that triggered the start of the jackpot game effect is the jackpot in the low probability mode (step S2602). ). That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot is the first win and the predetermined period has started. Whether the jackpot in the low-probability mode is, for example, when the jackpot game is started, whether the jackpot that triggered the start of the jackpot game is in the low-probability mode or in the high-probability mode. is included in the jackpot game start command, and when the jackpot game start command is transmitted from the main controller 4 to the sound lamp control device 5, in the command determination process of FIG. 37, based on the probability mode information A flag indicating a jackpot in the low-probability mode is set to ON or OFF, and the MPU 51 confirms the flag. In addition, the probability mode information may be set as a command different from the jackpot game start command.

Then, when the MPU 51 is a low-probability mode jackpot (step S2602: Yes), that is, when the jackpot is the first hit (a jackpot at the start of a predetermined period), the process proceeds to step S2603. On the other hand, the MPU 51 terminates the display order setting process when it is not a jackpot in the low probability mode (step S2602: No), that is, when it is a jackpot in the high probability mode (step S2602: No).

<Steps S2603 to S2605>
If it is a jackpot in the low probability mode (step S2602: Yes), the MPU 51 acquires the set value from the RAM 512 (step S2603), and displays the numbers corresponding to the multiple non-set values on the 7 segment display section 39. is determined (step S2604), the control order of segments A to G for each number is set (step S2605), and the display order setting process ends.

Here, the display order of numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values on the 7-segment display section 39 is the same as in step S2015 (see FIG. 35) of the display order setting process in the first embodiment described above. is determined based on the number display order determination table shown in FIG. The determined display order of numbers is stored in the RAM 512 .

The control order of segments A to G for each number is determined based on the control order determination table for segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 shown in FIG. In this control order determination table, a plurality of control orders of the segments A to G are defined by the value of the control order type counter updated in step S2001 of the sub timer interrupt process of FIG. 35, and each control order is determined. The probabilities are set to be the same. The control order of the segments A to G is determined from a plurality of control orders in the same order for each number by the value of the control order type counter when the control order of the segments A to G for each number is set. be. Also, the determined control order of segments A to G is stored in RAM 512 .

In this embodiment, when the numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, the segments A to G are controlled in the same order for all the numbers. can be different. That is, the control order of the segments A to G may be individually determined for each of a plurality of numbers corresponding to non-set values.

As described above, in this embodiment, the order in which the numbers corresponding to the non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 is determined for each predetermined period. As a result, the order of presenting the specific information when the predetermined condition is satisfied is determined, so that the number of specific conditions satisfied in the predetermined period is greater than the number of specific conditions satisfied in the preceding predetermined period. Even if it is small, new specific information may be obtained. Therefore, even if it is expected that the number of specific conditions to be met in a predetermined number of times is small, for example, in a jackpot game for a single-shot jackpot, it is possible to determine whether or not the specific conditions are met in a specific period of time. It is possible to make the user interested in the specific number of conditions, and to make the user interested in the specific information presented after the elapse of the specific period. As a result, by presenting the specific information according to the number of times that a specific condition for specifying or estimating the non-set value (set value) is satisfied, it is possible to more effectively improve the interest in the game. .

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the first and second embodiments described above are possible within the applicable range.

[Fourth embodiment]
In the above-described first embodiment, based on the number of times a specific condition is satisfied in a specific period, specific information (numbers) corresponding to a plurality of non-set values after a specific period (ending of a jackpot game) A case has been described in which all or part of the information is presented on the 7-segment display section 39, and presentation of the specific information on the 7-segment display section 39 ends when the jackpot game ends. That is, in the above-described first embodiment, all or part of the specific information is displayed for a predetermined specified period (after the specific period has passed).

By the way, when the player misses or forgets the presentation of the specific information in the specified period, the player may use the specific It is assumed that they wish to reconfirm the information. Also, when the player changes, it is assumed that the player after the change wishes to confirm the specific information displayed in the past. However, when the specific information is presented during the prescribed period, the specific information is not presented outside the prescribed period, so the specific information cannot be reconfirmed.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, it is possible to present all or part of the specific information presented in the past during a special period other than the prescribed period. Thus, the specific information presented in the past during a special period other than the prescribed period can be presented, so that the player can confirm the specific information presented in the past during the special period. In other words, the player can reconfirm the specific information displayed in the past when the specific information is overlooked or forgotten during the specified period, and when the player changes, the game can be played after the change. The player can confirm the specific information presented to the past players. As a result, the player can specify or guess a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of the specific information presented to the player in the past. Convenience for specifying or inferring is improved.

Here, the special period includes, for example, a waiting state (customer waiting state) period in which neither the variable game nor the jackpot game is executed. Since the special period is the standby period, it is possible to check the specific information presented in the past while the game is not being played. Therefore, it is possible to prevent obstruction of visual recognition of various effects executed by the symbol display unit 341 and the like as the game progresses, such as variable game effects and jackpot game effects.

In addition, if it is possible to present all or part of the specific information presented in the past during the standby state, predetermined input such as password input operation and command input operation on the specific display screen that can be changed in the standby state It is also conceivable to make it a condition to perform an operation. Passwords and commands may be made available by displaying them on the symbol display section 341 in the ending or the like in a jackpot game in which the end of a predetermined period is set. In addition, passwords and commands can be obtained by displaying a matrix-type two-dimensional code or the like on the pattern display unit 341 in the jackpot game, and reading the matrix-type two-dimensional code or the like using a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a mobile phone. It may be made available by so-called mobile interlocking, which is transmitted from the server to the mobile terminal.

In this way, on the condition that a predetermined input operation such as a password input operation or a command input operation is performed, by enabling presentation of all or part of the specific information presented in the past during the standby state period, Only players who can enter passwords, commands, etc., i.e., only players who have been presented with all or part of the specific information, confirm all or part of the specific information presented in the past during the standby state. becomes possible. As a result, it is possible to eliminate so-called hyena behavior and free riding, in which all or part of the past specific information is confirmed by other players.

In addition, all or part of the specific information presented on the mobile terminal in the past by reading the matrix type two-dimensional code etc. It is also conceivable to present the

Also, it is conceivable to set the special period during the jackpot game, for example, during the opening, during the opening/closing execution mode, or during the ending. By setting the special period during the jackpot game in this way, past specific information is presented in a state in which the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is not specified or suggested. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the indication or suggestion of the result of the big winning lottery from being hindered by the presentation of the specific information. In addition, since the jackpot game is executed after the result of the jackpot lottery is clearly indicated by the variable game, the interest of the player tends to decrease, but such a jackpot game has been presented in the past By presenting the specific information, the interest in the jackpot game is enhanced.

Moreover, as a special period, setting during a variable game is also conceivable. Here, in the total time during which the game is executed (the time when the power of the gaming machine 10 is turned on minus the standby time), as a theoretical value, the variation game is compared to the execution time of the jackpot variation game. has a longer execution time. Therefore, by enabling presentation of past specific information during a variable game, it is possible to set many timings at which past specific information can be presented. However, when setting the special period during the variable game, during a certain period before the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, for example, during a non-reach state where the reach effect is not executed as a variable game effect or when the variable time is short, It is preferable to limit the presentation of specific information. As a result, it is possible to prevent visual recognition of the indication or suggestion of the lottery result in the jackpot lottery from being hindered by the stationary display of the decoration pattern.

Further, the presentation of the past specific information during the special period may be performed at a timing determined by the gaming machine 10, or may be performed at the player's will.

When the past specific information is presented at the timing determined by the gaming machine 10, it is possible to present the past specific information at a timing not expected by the player. Therefore, the gaming machine 10 can be provided with a playability with unexpectedness. Further, since the past specific information is presented at the timing determined by the gaming machine 10 without the player performing any operation on the gaming machine 10, even a player with little knowledge of the gaming machine 10 can , it becomes possible to know specific information presented in the past. This ensures fairness among players.

Here, examples of the case where the past specific information is presented at the timing determined by the game machine 10 include, for example, presenting the specific information presented in the past as a demonstration screen in the standby state, To present the specific information presented in the past before the reach production is executed at a certain rate (including 100%) when a specific reach production is scheduled to be executed in the variable game or For example, it is decided to present the specific information presented in the past by a lottery executed at a specific timing of the jackpot game. When the specific information presented in the past is presented as a demonstration screen in the standby state, the player considers the past specific information presented on the demonstration screen and operates the gaming machine for executing the game from an empty platform. 10 can be selected, the degree of freedom and convenience in selecting the gaming machine 10 for executing the game is improved. In addition, if the specific information presented in the past is presented before the reach production is executed when a specific reach production is scheduled to be executed in the variable game, the presentation of the past specific information Interest in the variation game is improved because it plays a role as a pre-notice performance for execution of the specific ready-to-win performance. In addition, the presentation of past specific information in variable games is expected to suggest the degree of expectation (reliability) when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot (including a confirmed production indicating that it is a jackpot), It is also conceivable to execute it as a chance-up effect for improving the degree of expectation (reliability). Also in this case, interest in the variation game is improved. Further, when specific information presented in the past is presented by a lottery executed at a specific timing of a variable game or a jackpot game, the past specific information is presented at a random specific timing determined by the gaming machine 10. Therefore, it is possible to particularly impart surprise to the game. In addition, when the player can know the specific timing at which the specific information is presented, the player can enjoy the progress of the game by paying attention to whether the specific information is presented at the specific timing. is improved.

On the other hand, when the presentation of the past specific information in the special period is executed by the intention of the player, the special In the case of the period, the player can positively check the past specific information at his/her favorite timing. Therefore, when specifying or estimating a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of past specific information, the gaming machine 10 does not limit the timing of presenting the past specific information and reflects one's own intentions. convenience is improved.

Here, as an example in which the presentation of the past specific information in the special period is executed by the intention of the player, in the special period set during the standby state, during the variable game, and during the jackpot game, the player operates the button 20 For example, when a predetermined operation is performed, specific information that has been presented in the past can be presented.

In one example of the present embodiment, all or part of the specific information (numbers) corresponding to a plurality of non-set values displayed by the 7-segment display unit 39 is displayed at the ending (specified period) of the jackpot game, and the standby state is displayed. During the period (special period), by performing a predetermined operation on the operation button 20 or the selection determination unit 21, all or part of the specific information (numbers) displayed at the ending of the last three jackpot games It is displayed on the pattern display section 341 . In one example of the present embodiment, all or part of the specific information displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 in the past can be displayed on the pattern display section 341 without performing input operations such as passwords and commands. is.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 53 to 63, focusing on differences from the first embodiment described above.

Here, FIG. 53 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the gaming machine 10 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 54 is a block diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the gaming machine shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 53 , the gaming machine 10 according to this embodiment further includes a selection determining section 21 provided on the front frame 11 .

The selection determination unit 21 is operated by the player, and is a push button that accepts the player's pressing operation in the standby state described later and shifts the display screen (see FIG. 60) of the symbol display unit 341 . The selection decision unit 21 includes a plurality of selection buttons 21A and decision buttons 21B.

A plurality of selection buttons 21A are operated by the player to provisionally select a desired item from options (items) on various screens such as the top menu screen in the standby state screen transition processing of FIGS. 61 and 62, which will be described later. (see FIG. 60) and includes an upper selection button 211 , a lower selection button 212 , a left selection button 213 and a right selection button 214 . Here, provisional selection means a state in which the content of the provisional selection is confirmed (stored in the RAM 512) by operating the enter button 21B. These selection buttons 211 to 214 are, as shown in FIG. 54, an upper selection operation switch 211a, a lower selection operation switch 211b, a left selection operation switch 211c, and a right selection operation switch for switching input signals to the sound lamp control device 5. 211d. These switches 211 a to 211 d are connected to the input/output I/F of the sound lamp control device 5 . Therefore, in the audio lamp control device 5, it is possible to determine whether or not each selection button 211-214 has been operated based on the input signal of each switch 211a-211d.

Further, in this embodiment, when it is detected that the selection buttons 211 to 214 have been operated, it is determined that the selection buttons 211 to 214 have been operated. Of course, it may be determined that the selection buttons 211 to 214 have been operated when it is detected that the selection buttons 211 to 214 are being operated continuously or the operation has ended. .

On the other hand, the decision button 21B is operated by the player to decide the provisionally selected item. The decision button 21B also includes a decision operation switch 21Ba for switching input signals to the audio lamp control device 5, which will be described later. The determination operation switch 21Ba is connected to the input/output I/F of the sound lamp control device 5. FIG. Therefore, in the sound lamp control device 5, it is possible to determine whether or not the decision operation switch 21Ba has been operated based on the input signal of the decision operation switch 21Ba.

Also, instead of the plurality of selection buttons 21A (211 to 214) and decision button 21B, a touch panel that displays touch keys and accepts the player's operations on the touch keys may be provided as operation means. Further, instead of the plurality of selection buttons 21A (211 to 214) and decision button 21B, it is conceivable to provide a translucent touch panel on the front side of the pattern display section 341 for accepting player's operations. It is also conceivable to provide a jog dial instead of the plurality of selection buttons 21A (211-214). Also, the selection switches 211a to 211d and the decision operation switch 21Ba are contact type switches or the like, but may be piezoelectric elements or the like as long as they can be used to detect the presence or absence of operations by the player. .

Here, FIG. 55 is a flow chart showing an example of the sub-timer interrupt processing procedure executed by the sound lamp control device 5 of the gaming machine 10 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 55, in the secondary timer interrupt processing of this embodiment, in addition to the same processing (steps S2000 to S2005) as the secondary timer interrupt processing in the first embodiment, operation detection processing ( Step S2701) and standby state screen transition processing (step S2702) are executed.

[Operation detection processing]
The operation detection process is a process of detecting whether or not the various buttons 20, 21A, and 21B have been operated. Here, FIG. 56 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of operation detection processing executed in the sub timer interrupt processing of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 56, in the operation detection process, the MPU 41 performs operation button operation detection process (step S2801), operation detection pattern determination process (step S2802), selection button operation detection process (step S2803), selection operation detection pattern determination, Processing (step S2804), determination button operation detection processing (step S2805), and determination operation detection pattern determination processing (step S2806) are executed.

[Operation button operation detection process]
In the operation button operation detection process (step S2201 of the operation detection process), the operation state of the operation button 20 is detected, and the operation history for the past three times is sequentially updated. In the game machine 10, the MPU 41 executes the operation button operation detection process, so that the operation button 20 is operated at predetermined intervals (1 msec intervals in this embodiment) corresponding to the interrupt cycle of the sub timer interrupt process. The presence or absence of is determined. Here, FIG. 57 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the operation button operation detection process. The operation button operation detection process will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Steps S2901 to S2903>
As shown in FIG. 57, in step S2901, the MPU 41 shifts (overwrites) the setting of the second detection flag to the first detection flag. Also, in step S2902, the MPU 41 shifts (overwrites) the setting of the third detection flag to the second detection flag. After that, in step S2903, the MPU 41 sets (overwrites) the operation state of the operation button 20 detected by the operation switch 20a to the third detection flag, and the operation detection process ends.

As described above, in the operation button operation detection process, by executing the processes of steps S2901 to S2903, as the operation history of the operation button 20, the most recent three operation states at intervals of 1 msec are set to the first detection flag to the third detection flag. It is stored in RAM 512 as a flag. Specifically, the most recent operation state is stored as the third detection flag, the operation state immediately before is stored as the second detection flag, and the operation state two times before is stored as the first detection flag.

[Operation Detection Pattern Judgment Processing]
Returning to the description of FIG. 57, in the operation detection pattern determination process in step S2802 in the operation detection process, the operation of the operation button 20 determined based on the first operation detection flag, the second operation detection flag, and the third operation detection flag is determined. An operation pattern flag is set for determining the operation state of the operation button 20 from the history. The operation pattern flags are composed of first to third operation pattern flags, and the operation state of the operation button 20 can be determined by a combination of ON and OFF of the first to third operation pattern flags. For example, when only the first operation pattern flag is set to ON, it can be determined that the operation of the operation button 20 is continued (see FIG. 38A). Also, when only the second operation pattern flag is set to ON, it can be determined that the operation of the operation button 20 has started (see FIG. 38A). Further, when only the third operation pattern flag is set to ON, it can be determined that the operation of the operation button 20 has ended (see FIG. 38A). Then, when all of the first to third operation pattern flags are set to OFF, it can be determined that the operation button 20 has not been operated (see FIG. 38A). Here, FIG. 58 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the operation detection pattern determination process. FIG. 59A is a table showing the relationship between detection patterns and operation states for the operation button 20. FIG. The operation button operation detection process will be described below with reference to FIGS. 58 and 59(A).

<Step S3001>
As shown in FIG. 58, in step S3001, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the first operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the operation button 20 three times before is set to ON. Here, when the first operation detection flag is on (step S3001: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3002, and when the first operation detection flag is off (step S3001: No), the process proceeds.

Here, when the second operation detection flag is on (step S3002: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3003, and when the second operation detection flag is off (step S3002: No), the process proceeds to step S3003. The process moves to step S3008.

<Step S3003>
In step S3003, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the third operation detection flag indicating the latest operation state of the operation button 20 is set to ON. Here, when the third operation detection flag is ON (step S3003: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3004, and when the third operation detection flag is OFF (step S3003: No), the process is performed. The process moves to step S3010.

<Step S3004>
In step S3004, the MPU 41 sets the first operation pattern flag to ON, sets the second operation pattern flag and the third operation pattern flag to OFF, and ends the detected operation pattern determination process. That is, when the operation pattern of "ON", "ON", and "ON" occurs as the operation state of the operation button 20 three times, the MPU 41 sets the first operation pattern flag to ON, and sets the second operation pattern flag to ON. The flag and the third operation pattern flag are set to OFF (see FIG. 59(A)). The first operation pattern flag can be used as an index for determining whether the operation state of the operation button 20 continues. For example, when the first operation pattern flag is set to ON, the MPU 41 may set an operation button operation continuation command in the RAM 412 and transmit this operation button operation continuation command to the sound lamp control device 5. . As a result, since the sound lamp control device 5 can determine that the operation of the operation button 20 continues, the operation button 20 is continuously operated based on the number of times the operation button operation continuation command is continuously transmitted. I can keep track of time. Therefore, since the sound lamp control device 5 can determine whether or not the operation button 20 has been long-pressed based on the time during which the operation button 20 has been continuously operated, the operation button effect based on the long-press operation can be determined. can be executed.

<Step S3005>
When the MPU 41 determines in step S3001 that the first operation detection flag is not ON (step S3001: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the second operation detection flag indicating the operation state of the operation button 20 two times before is ON.

In step S3006, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the third operation detection flag indicating the latest operation state of the operation button 20 is on. Here, when the third operation detection flag is on (step S3006: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3007, and when the third operation detection flag is off (step S3006: No), the process is performed.

That is, when the operation pattern of "OFF", "ON", and "ON" occurs as the operation state of the operation button 20 three times, the MPU 41 sets the second operation pattern flag to ON, and sets the first operation pattern flag to ON. The flag and the third operation pattern flag are set to OFF (see FIG. 59A), and the detected operation pattern determination process ends. The second operation pattern flag is used as an index for determining whether or not the operation button 20 has changed from the non-operating state to the operating state (whether or not the operation of the operation button 20 has been started). In this way, if it is determined whether or not the operation button 20 has changed from the non-operating state to the operating state using the second operation pattern flag, the operation state of the operation button 20 for three times is reflected. Alternatively, erroneous detection of the start of operation of the operation button 20 due to noise such as static electricity is prevented, and the start of operation of the operation button 20 is prevented from being reflected in the performance display at a timing unintended by the player.

<Step S3008>
When the MPU 41 determines that the second operation detection flag is not on in step S3002 (step S3002: No), it determines whether the third operation detection flag indicating the latest operation state of the operation button 20 is on. (Step S3008). Here, when the third operation detection flag is on (step S3008: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3010, and when the second operation detection flag is off (step S3008: No), the process proceeds to step S3010. The process moves to step S3009.

<Step S3009>
In step S3009, the MPU 41 sets the third operation pattern flag to ON, sets the first operation pattern flag and the second operation pattern flag to OFF, and terminates the detected operation pattern determination process. That is, the MPU 41 sets the third operation pattern flag to ON when the operation pattern of "ON", "OFF", and "OFF" occurs as the operation state of the operation button 20 three times, and the first operation pattern flag is set to ON. The flag and the second operation pattern flag are set to OFF (see FIG. 59(A)). The third operation pattern flag can be used as an index for determining whether or not the operation button 20 has changed from the operated state to the non-operated state (whether or not the operation of the operation button 20 has ended). can.

<Step S3010>

On the top menu screen, the temporarily selected item (destination display screen) is determined by operating the determination button 21B, and the display screen corresponding to the item is displayed. For example, when the player selects the 7-segment display history selection screen transition image of "7-segment display history" and the enter button 21B is operated, the display screen changes from the top menu screen to the 7-segment display history selection screen. is transferred to

The 7-segment display section history selection screen is a screen that can be shifted to a history screen on which the content of the specific information displayed in the 7-segment display section 39 is displayed for a predetermined period. This history screen shows the contents displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 for one of the three most recent predetermined periods. , a second previous history screen on which the content of the specific information for the predetermined period two times before is displayed, and a three previous history screen on which the content of the specific information for the predetermined period three times before is displayed. Each history screen is a history image in the same form as the additional image (see FIGS. 47(B1), 47(B2) and 47(C)) displayed on the symbol display section 341 in the second half of the ending of the jackpot game. including. The history image shows the display history on the 7-segment display section 39 until the end of one predetermined period. Contains value-suggestion images. In the example shown in FIG. 60, by entering the game ball 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in the predetermined period one time before, after the number 2 is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, the segments A to It shows that C has a history of being lit.

In addition, the 7-segment display section history selection screen has a cursor image indicating that it is temporarily selected, and a previous history screen for shifting to the previous history screen displaying "History 1 (previous)". Transition image, 2 times before displaying "History 2 (2 times before)" 2 times before history screen transition image, 3 times before displaying "History 3 (3 times before)" It includes a history screen transition image three times before for transitioning to the history screen, and a fluctuation stop screen transition image for transitioning to the fluctuation stop screen displaying "end". Then, on the 7-segment display history selection screen, the temporarily selected item (destination display screen) is determined by operating the enter button 21B, and the display screen corresponding to the item is displayed. For example, when the player temporarily selects the previous history screen transition image of "History 1 (previous)" and the decision button 21B is operated, the display screen changes from the 7-segment display portion history selection screen to the previous history screen transition image. Moves to the previous history screen. Further, when "History 2 (2 times before)" is selected, the 7-segment display portion history selection screen is shifted to the 2nd time previous history screen, and when "History 3 (3 times before)" is selected, is shifted from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to the 3rd previous history screen. When "end" is selected, the 7-segment display history selection screen is switched to the top menu screen.

In this way, it is possible to switch from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to any one of the previous history screen, the second previous history screen, and the third previous history screen according to the player's selection. That is, the player can confirm the history information desired by the player by shifting to the history screen desired by the player. As a result, the history can be effectively confirmed while avoiding confirmation of history information such as previously confirmed information and information with a small amount of information, so that history confirmation can be performed efficiently.

In addition, in the present embodiment, information for specifying the non-set value at the ending of the jackpot game is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 different from the pattern display section 341 in which decorative patterns are variably displayed. Therefore, even when the information for specifying the non-set value is displayed, visual recognition of the image effect executed in the pattern display section 341 is not obstructed. On the other hand, in the standby state, the same history information as the information displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 in the ending is displayed on the pattern display section 341 different from the 7-segment display section 39 . Here, since the pattern display portion 341 generally has a large display area, displaying the history information on the pattern display portion 341 improves the visibility of the history information. Also, the pattern display unit 341 may be used to set various settings such as effects and characters to be executed in the gaming machine 10 . Therefore, if the contents displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 in the ending are displayed on the pattern display section 341, it becomes possible to confirm the history information by the same operation as the operation for making various settings. Therefore, the convenience of confirming history information is improved.

In this embodiment, it is possible to shift from a plurality of history screens to a history screen selected by the player, but it is also conceivable to display a plurality of pieces of history information simultaneously on one screen. In this case, since many histories can be checked at once, it is possible to efficiently check the presentation contents in this case as well.

Also, in the top menu screen, when the character screen transition image of "character selection" is selected, the display screen is transitioned to the character selection screen, and when the character customization screen transition image of "character customization" is selected, it is displayed. The screen shifts to the character customization screen. That is, in this embodiment, it is possible to select a character that appears in variable game effects, etc., and to customize the character's costume, accessories, hairstyle, and the like.

In the top menu screen, when the change stop screen transition image of "return" is selected, the display screen shifts to the change stop screen.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by operating the selection determination unit 21 (the selection button 21A and the determination button 21B) in the standby state, it is possible to confirm the display history on the 7-segment display unit 39 for the last three predetermined periods. can be done. Therefore, when the player misses or forgets the display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 at the ending of the jackpot game, the player can reconfirm the display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 in the past. In the case of a change, the player after the change can confirm the past display contents of the 7-segment display section 39. - 特許庁As a result, the player can specify or guess a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of the past display contents of the 7-segment display section 39, so that the non-set values (set values) can be Convenience for specifying or inferring is improved.

Here, FIGS. 61 and 62 are flow charts showing an example of the procedure of standby state screen transition processing executed in the sub timer interrupt processing of FIG. 61 and 62, the procedure of standby state screen transition processing executed in step S2702 of the sub timer interrupt processing of FIG. 55 will be described.

<Steps S3101 and S3102>
As shown in FIG. 61, in the standby state screen transition processing, the MPU 51 first determines whether or not the device is in the standby state (steps S3101 and S3102). Specifically, the MPU 51 sets the variable game effecting flag set to ON at step S2105 in the command determination process of FIG. 37 to OFF (step S3101: No), If the flag during the jackpot game production is set to ON when transmitting the display variation pattern command to the display control device 6 in the jackpot game production process of step S2004 (step S3102: No), in the standby state judge there is. On the other hand, the MPU 51 is not in a standby state when the variable game effect flag is set to ON (step S3101: Yes) or when the jackpot game effect flag is set to ON (step S3102: Yes) I judge.

Then, if the MPU 51 is in the standby state (both steps S3101 and S3102 are No), the process proceeds to step S3103, and if it is not in the standby state (Yes in step S3101 or S3102), the standby state screen transition processing ends. .

<Step S3103>
If it is in the standby state (No in both steps S3101 and S3102), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the fluctuation stop screen flag is set to ON (step S3103). The fluctuation stop screen flag is a flag indicating that the display screen in the pattern display section 341 is the fluctuation stop screen. This fluctuation stop screen flag is set when shifting from the fluctuation game state or the jackpot game state to the standby state, that is, when all the screen flags other than the fluctuation stop screen flag are set to off in the standby state, FIG. is set to ON in step S3120. The fluctuation stop screen flag is also set to ON when the display screen other than the fluctuation stop screen is shifted to the fluctuation stop screen. Specifically, when the display screen is shifted from the top menu screen to the fluctuation stop screen in the top menu screen processing in step S3109 of FIG. is shifted from the previous history screen process to the fluctuation stop screen, in the second previous history screen process in step S3115, the display screen is transferred from the second previous history screen process to the fluctuation stop screen, and in step S3117 It is also set to ON when the display screen shifts from the 3rd previous history screen process to the fluctuation stop screen in the 3rd previous history screen process. Incidentally, the fluctuation stop screen flag is set to OFF in step S3107 when the display screen is shifted from the fluctuation stop screen to the top menu screen, and is set to OFF when the variable display of the decoration pattern is started.

(step S3217), and the 7-segment history selection screen process ends.

Thus, in the 7-segment history screen executed in the standby state, the display screen is shifted from the 7-segment display section history selection screen to any of the 1st previous history screen, the 2nd previous history screen, and the 3rd previous history screen. corresponding to each of a plurality of non-set values displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 according to the number of game balls 99 that entered the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37 for the past three predetermined periods. All or part of the specific information can be confirmed (see FIG. 60). Therefore, when the player misses or forgets the display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 at the ending of the jackpot game, the player can reconfirm the display contents of the 7-segment display section 39 in the past. In the case of a change, the player after the change can confirm the past display contents of the 7-segment display section 39. - 特許庁As a result, the player can specify or guess a plurality of non-set values (set values) in consideration of the past display contents of the 7-segment display section 39, so that the non-set values (set values) can be Convenience for specifying or inferring is improved.

In particular, in the standby state, unless a variable game is executed by launching the game ball 99, the display screen is the history screen (previous history screen , 2nd previous history screen and 3rd previous history screen) are not shifted to other screens such as the fluctuation stop screen. Therefore, the player stops launching the game ball 99 and maintains the standby state without being subject to time constraints such as when the specific information is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 at the ending of the jackpot game. Thus, the specific information displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 in the past can be checked carefully and politely at one's own pace. As a result, when a player specifies or guesses a plurality of non-set values (set values) based on past specific information, the player can consider the multiple non-set values (set values) at his or her own pace. setting value) is improved.

In this embodiment, the past specific information on the 7-segment display section 39 that can be displayed on the symbol display section 341 by the operation (intention) of the player in the standby state is the past three predetermined periods of time. However, there is no limit to the number of past specific information that can be displayed. That is, the specific information for the past one, two, or four or more predetermined periods may be confirmed.

Further, the display of past specific information is not limited to the pattern display section 341, and may be performed by other display means as long as it has a display function. For example, the past specific information may be displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, or a display section different from the pattern display section 341 or the 7-segment display section 39, for example, a separate display for displaying the past specific information. It may be a display unit. In addition, when there is a display section provided for executing part of the effects such as variable game effects separately from the symbol display section 341, it is also possible to display past information on the display section. Conceivable.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the above-described first to third embodiments are possible within the applicable range.

[Fifth embodiment]
In the above-described first embodiment, after the specific period (ending of the jackpot game), based on the number of times the specific condition is satisfied in the specific period, corresponding to each of a plurality of non-set values (set values) A case has been described in which all or part of the specific information is presented on the 7-segment display section 39, and presentation of the specific information on the 7-segment display section 39 is terminated upon completion of the jackpot game. That is, in the above-described first embodiment, the specific information is displayed during the specified period set after the specified period elapses each time the specified period set as the specified period elapses.

By the way, when displaying numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values in the 7-segment display section 39, all the segments A to G of the 7-segment display section 39 are controlled, so that the numbers to be displayed (non-set values) are displayed. set value) can be specified. Also, it is possible to grasp the numbers to be displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 before all the segments A to G are to be controlled. For example, when segments A to G are to be controlled in the order of segment A→segment B→segment C→segment D→segment E→segment F→segment G, segment A, which is the first control target, is turned off. , the number candidates displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 are "1" and "4". When segment F, which is the sixth controlled object, is turned on, it can be recognized as "4", and when segment F is turned off, it can be recognized as "1". That is, the number "1" or "4" can be recognized at the stage when the segment F, which is the sixth controlled object before all the segments A to G become the controlled object, becomes the controlled object. When segment A, which is the first control target, is turned on, the number candidates displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 are "2", "3", "5" and "6". When segment B, which is the second object to be controlled, is turned on, it can be determined to be either "2" or "3", and when segment B is turned off, "5" and " 6” can be determined. Furthermore, it can be recognized as "3" when segment C, which is the third control target, is turned on, and can be recognized as "2" when segment C is turned off. That is, the number "2" or "3" can be recognized at the stage when segment C, which is the third control target before all the segments A to G become the control target, becomes the control target. Furthermore, it can be recognized as "6" when segment E, which is the fifth controlled object, is turned on, and can be recognized as "5" when segment E is turned off. That is, the number "5" or "6" can be recognized at the stage when the segment E, which is the fifth controlled object before all the segments A to G become the controlled object, becomes the controlled object. That is, the numbers "2" and "3" can be recognized at the stage when the segment C, which is the third control target, is turned on or off, and the numbers "5" and "6" are the segment, which is the fifth control target. The numbers "1" and "4" can be recognized when the segment F, which is the sixth controlled object, is lit or extinguished.

However, in the first embodiment described above, the segments A to G are controlled in order to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G are controlled. Therefore, even if the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 can be recognized before all the segments A to G are controlled, the next display will not be displayed until after all the segments A to G are controlled. The control of segments A to G for displaying the target number is not started. Therefore, even if the player recognizes the numbers displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 before all the segments A to G become control targets, the next number to be displayed starts to be displayed. Until then, information is displayed on the 7-segment display 39 to identify the numbers already recognized by the player. In other words, when the segments A to G are controlled in order to display the next number to be displayed after all the segments A to G are controlled, information unnecessary for the player is displayed on the 7 segment display section 39. During the period when such unnecessary information is displayed on the 7-segment display section 39, there is concern that interest in the game may decrease.

Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the 7-segment display unit 39 is controlled at the ending of the jackpot game every time the specific period set for the jackpot game passes, so that each of the plurality of non-set values All or part of the numbers (specific information) to be displayed are put out every time a specific period elapses. Therefore, if a number corresponding to any non-set value is displayed during the specific period that has passed earlier, it is assumed that the number may be forgotten. In this case, it becomes difficult to specify or guess the set value from a plurality of non-set values.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the non-set value display means (lamp display section) having a plurality of information display sections (six individual lamp sections) equal to or greater than the number of non-set values (five), each information display section The information (number) specifying the non-setting value is displayed by . Each information display unit has two modes: a display state (lit state) in which specific information is presented, and a non-display state (extinction state) in which no specific information is presented. The non-set value can be specified by the specified information displayed on the information display section. Thus, by setting the information display section to one of the two modes of the display state and the non-display state, the non-set value can be specified by the specific information presented on the information display section in the display state. That is, in the present embodiment, as the specific information, only information that allows the non-set value to be specified is displayed, and information that allows the non-set value to be estimated is not displayed. Therefore, after specific information that can identify one non-set value is presented, specific information for estimating the non-set value is not unnecessarily presented, so unnecessary specific information is not presented. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game due to

The non-set value display means is not particularly limited. Matrix displays, plasma displays, and the like are included. Further, as the non-set value display means, it is conceivable to use a display means for variably displaying decorative patterns.

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of information display units corresponding to the number of specific conditions that are satisfied in a predetermined period is displayed, and until the end of the predetermined period is set, the jackpot game is completed, at least for the specific period , the information display portion that was brought into the display state first is brought into the display state. For example, the information display portion that was put into the display state during the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is also put into the display state during the specific period after the predetermined period. In this way, the information display section that was in the display state during the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is also in the display state in the specific period after the predetermined period. You can check it though. Therefore, the specific information displayed in the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is not forgotten, and it is convenient when specifying a plurality of non-set values based on the specific information, and by extension, when specifying or estimating the set value. performance is improved.

It should be noted that the information display portion that is in the display state during the specific period may be maintained in the display state at all times until the end of the predetermined period and the end of the predetermined period of the jackpot game, or may be maintained only during the jackpot game. The display state may be maintained, or the display state may be maintained only for a specific period.

In one example of the present embodiment, in a lamp display unit having six individual lamp units with any number from 1 to 6, a game ball is entered into a special out ball mouth of a crew device during a specific period. By winning the lamp lighting lottery that is executed with this as a trigger, the individual lamp part with the number corresponding to the non-set value is attached at the stage of winning the lamp lighting lottery without waiting for the passage of the specific period. Lighted state. In the predetermined period in which the specific period is set, the lighting state is maintained until the jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set is completed.

The present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 64 to 71, focusing on differences from the first embodiment described above. 69 to 71 are diagrams showing modifications of this embodiment.

Here, FIG. 64 is a front view showing an example of the game board 31 of the gaming machine 10 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 65 is a block diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the gaming machine 10 shown in FIG. Reference numeral 66 is a diagram showing an example of lighting and extinguishing of the lamp display section 35. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 64, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with a special out ball discharging section 38A instead of the game ball retention section 38 of the first embodiment described above. A lamp display portion 35 is provided on the game board 31 in place of the 7-segment display portion 39 in the embodiment.

The special out ball discharge section 38A discharges the game ball 99 that has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 to the back side of the game board 31 . This special out ball discharge portion 38A has a configuration in which the stopper portion 383 is omitted from the game ball retention portion 38 of the above-described first embodiment, and the game ball retention portion 38A is similar to the game ball retention portion 38A except that the stopper portion 383 is omitted. It has the same configuration as In such a special out ball discharge section 38A, the game ball 99 entered into the special out ball mouth 373 is discharged to the back side of the game board 31 without staying (stopped) in the special out ball discharge section 38A. be done. Therefore, the gaming ball 99 entered into the special out ball opening 373 is not detected by the special out ball sensor 384 after the specific period has passed as in the first embodiment, but is detected during the specific period. However, it is detected by the special out ball sensor 384 each time the game ball 99 enters the special out ball mouth 373 .

The lamp display unit 35 presents specific information that specifies the non-set value, and has a plurality of (six) individual lamp units (first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356) that can be turned on and off individually. including. The first to sixth individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are arranged in rows (linearly) in the horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 65 , the lamp display section 35 is connected to the input/output I/F 52 of the audio lamp control device 5 . Accordingly, as can be understood from FIG. 66, the first to sixth individual lamp portions 351 to 356 can be turned on and off individually.

The number 1 is attached to the first individual lamp portion 351, and when the first individual lamp portion 351 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 1, and the set value is the game set value. 1 is negated. The number 2 is attached to the second individual lamp portion 352, and when the second individual lamp portion 352 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 2, and the set value is the game set value. 2 is denied. The number 3 is attached to the third individual lamp portion 353, and when the third individual lamp portion 353 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 3, and the set value is the game set value. 3 is denied. The number 4 is attached to the fourth individual lamp portion 354, and when the fourth individual lamp portion 354 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 4, and the set value is the game set value. 4 is denied. The number 5 is attached to the fifth individual lamp portion 355, and when the fifth individual lamp portion 355 is lit, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 5, and the set value is the game set value. 5 is denied. The number 6 is attached to the sixth individual lamp portion 356, and when the sixth individual lamp portion 356 is turned on, one of the plurality of non-set values is the game set value 6, and the set value is the game set value. 6 is negated.

That is, in the lamp display unit 35, the numbers attached to the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are lit correspond to a plurality of non-set values, and the game set values corresponding to the numbers are negated as set values. be. When the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to all (five) non-set values are turned on, one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 corresponding to the set value is turned off and turned off. A number corresponding to one of the individual lamp portions 351 to 356, which is the state, corresponds to the set value.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 66A, when the second to fifth individual lamp units 352 to 356 are lit and only the first individual lamp unit 351 is extinguished, the non-set value is 2 to 6 and the set value of 1 is specified. As shown in FIG. 66B, when the first, third to sixth individual lamp sections 351, 353 to 356 are lit and only the second individual lamp section 352 is extinguished, the non-set value is 1, 3 to 6, and a set value of 2 is specified. As shown in FIG. 66C, when the first, second, fourth to sixth individual lamp portions 351, 352, 354 to 356 are lit and only the third individual lamp portion 353 is extinguished, It specifies that the settings are 1, 2, 4-6, and that the setting is 3. As shown in FIG. 66(D), when the first to third, fifth and sixth individual lamp portions 351 to 353, 355 and 356 are lit and only the fourth individual lamp portion 354 is extinguished, The setting values are 1-3, 5, 6, and the setting value is 4. As shown in FIG. 66(E), when the first to fourth and sixth individual lamp sections 351 to 354 and 356 are lit and only the fifth individual lamp section 355 is extinguished, the non-set value is 1 to 4, 6, and a set value of 5 is specified. As shown in FIG. 66(F), when the first to fifth individual lamp units 351 to 355 are lit and only the sixth individual lamp unit 356 is extinguished, the non-set value is 1 to 5, and the set value is 1 to 5. A value of 6 is specified. The first to sixth individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the lamp display portion 35 are controlled in the set value suggesting process executed in the sub timer interrupt process of FIG.

[Set value suggestion process]
In the set value suggesting process of the present embodiment, control is executed to turn on and off the lamp display section 35 (first to sixth individual lamp sections 351 to 356). The set value is suggested by specifying the non-set value by the lit state or the extinguished state of the . Here, FIG. 67 is a flow chart showing an example of the set value suggesting process executed in the secondary timer interrupt process of FIG. In the set value suggesting process of the present embodiment, control is executed to turn on and off the lamp display section 35 (first to sixth individual lamp sections 351 to 356). The set value is suggested by specifying the non-set value by the lit state or the extinguished state of the . The procedure for setting value suggestion processing will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Step S3301>
As shown in FIG. 67, in step S3301, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the ending effect start flag is set to ON. The ending effect start flag is a flag for starting the ending effect, and is set to ON at step S2116 in the command determination process of FIG. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not it is time to start the ending effect based on the ending effect start flag. Here, when the ending effect start flag is ON (step S3301: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3302, and when the ending effect start flag is OFF (step S3301: No), the process proceeds to step S3311. transition to

<Step S3302>
When the ending effect start flag is on (step S3301: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the special out ball detection flag is set on (step S3302). The special out ball detection flag is a flag indicating that a game ball has been detected by the special out ball sensor 384, and is set to ON at step S2114 in the command determination process of FIG. Here, if the special out ball detection flag is on (step S3302: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3303, and if the special out ball detection flag is off (step S3302: No), Terminate value suggestion processing.

<Step S3303>
If the special out ball detection flag is ON (step S3302: Yes), that is, if it is detected that the game ball 99 has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are turned on. A lottery for lamp lighting is performed to determine whether or not to light the lamp. That is, each time the game ball 99 is entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, a lamp lighting lottery is performed to determine whether or not the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are to be lit.

By the way, in the above-described first embodiment, five numbers corresponding to a plurality of non-set values are displayed on the 7-segment display section 39 before the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set is completed. This makes the setting value recognizable. In the 7-segment display unit 39, in order to display 5 numbers, it is necessary to control each of the 7 segments A to G 5 times. ) above must be established. That is, it is necessary to enter 35 game balls 99 into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 in a predetermined period.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the information corresponding to the non-set value is displayed by the first to sixth individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the lamp display portion 35, and the first to sixth individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are lit. and extinguished state. Therefore, in order to display five non-set values by the lamp display unit 35 so that the set values can be recognized, the specific condition needs to be satisfied five times or more. Moreover, in this embodiment, a crew device 37 similar to that in the first embodiment is employed. Therefore, if specific conditions for controlling the first to sixth individual lamp units 351 to 356 are set in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 displaying non-set values are It is obvious that it will be lit with a small number of jackpots.

Therefore, in this embodiment, as a specific condition for controlling the first to sixth individual ramp portions 351 to 356, in addition to the game ball 99 being entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 , on the condition that you win the lamp lighting lottery. In other words, by adopting the lamp lighting lottery, the degree of difficulty in establishing a specific condition is adjusted, and the difficulty in specifying all of the plurality of non-set values is adjusted. As a result, the degree of difficulty of lighting the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 that display numbers corresponding to the non-set values of the lamp display unit 35 is adjusted, and the five non-set values are easily identified. That is, the setting value is prevented from being easily recognized.

The winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery is the degree of difficulty for controlling the lighting of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356. In the above-described first embodiment, the 7-segment display unit 39 displays five numbers. It is set to be the same or substantially the same as the difficulty level for In addition, the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery may be the same winning probability for the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to a plurality of non-set values, or may be the same winning probability for at least one individual lamp unit 351 to 356. The winning probability may be different from that of the other individual lamp sections 351-356.

If the probability of winning in the lamp lighting lottery is set to be the same for the five individual lamp portions 351 to 356, the playability of stabilizing the probability of lighting the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 corresponding to non-set values is imparted. be. When the same winning probability is set for the five individual lamp units 351 to 356, for example, the winning probability is set to about 100×(1/7)% (=14.3%) (for example, 10% or more and 20% or less). be done. This is because, in the above-described first embodiment, one number is displayed by the 7-segment display section 39 when seven game balls 99 enter the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37. This is because in the present embodiment as well, when seven game balls 99 enter the special out ball opening 373, about one individual lamp portion 351 to 356 is lit on average. In addition, when the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery is set to be the same for the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to a plurality of non-set values, the winning probability is not limited to 10% or more and 20% or less. Can be changed.

In addition, the lottery condition that triggers the lamp lighting lottery for lighting one individual lamp unit 351 to 356 of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to a plurality of non-set values is a special If the game ball 99 entering the out ball 373 is a different lottery condition, the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery may be set according to the degree of difficulty in fulfilling this lottery condition. That is, it is conceivable to set the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery low when the difficulty of fulfilling the lottery condition is low, and set the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery high as the difficulty of fulfilling the lottery condition increases. be done. By setting the winning probability in the lamp lighting lottery in accordance with the degree of difficulty in fulfilling the lottery conditions in this way, the degree of difficulty in fulfilling the specific conditions necessary for lighting one of the individual lamp units 351 to 356 can be specified. can be equalized regardless of the type of conditions. This makes it possible to apply various conditions as specific conditions (exactly as lottery triggers).

On the other hand, if the winning probability for at least one of the individual lamp units 351 to 356 is made different from the other individual lamp units 351 to 356, the probability that the individual lamp units 351 to 356 corresponding to the non-set values are turned on varies. gender is given. When the winning probability for at least one of the individual lamp sections 351 to 356 is made different from that for the other individual lamp sections 351 to 356, for example, the individual lamp sections 351 to 356 having a later control order may be set to have a lower winning probability. As an example, the winning probabilities are set to 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, and 5% in order from the individual lamp units 351 to 356 having the earliest control order.

<Step S3304>
In step S3304, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the lamp lighting lottery has been won. If the MPU 51 has won the lamp lighting lottery (step S3304: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3305, and if the lamp lighting lottery has not been won (step S3304: No), the set value process ends. .

<Step S3305>
If the lottery for lighting the lamp is won (step S3304: Yes), the MPU 51 reads out the already lit lamp information (step S3305).

Here, the already lit lamp information is information about the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are being lit, and includes already lit lamp flag information as shown in FIGS. 68(B) and 68(C). The lit lamp flag information includes a first lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the first individual lamp section 351 is lit, and a second lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the second individual lamp section 352 is lit. , a third lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the third individual lamp section 353 is lit, a fourth lit lamp flag indicating whether or not the fourth individual lamp section 354 is lit, and a fifth individual lamp section 355 is lit, and a sixth lit lamp flag is set to indicate whether the sixth individual lamp portion 356 is lit. Each lit lamp flag is set to ON when the individual lamp sections 351 to 356 are lit, and set to OFF when the individual lamp sections 351 to 356 are extinguished. In the example shown in FIG. 68B, all lit lamp flags are set to OFF (initial state), indicating that all of the first to sixth individual lamp sections 351 to 356 are extinguished. In the example shown in FIG. 68C, the second lit lamp flag is set to ON, the first, third to sixth lit lamp flags are set to OFF, and the second individual lamp section 352 is lit, indicating that the first, third to sixth individual lamp portions 351, 353 to 356 are extinguished.

<Step S3306>
In step S3306, the MPU 51 determines whether or not all lit lamp flags are set to ON in the lit lamp information. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not all of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 specifying non-set values are lit. Then, when all the lit lamp flags are set to ON in the lit lamp information (step S3306: Yes), the MPU 51 ends the set value suggesting process. That is, when all the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 specifying non-set values are lit, there are no other individual lamp units 351 to 356 to be lit, so the set value suggesting process ends. On the other hand, if there is an already lit lamp flag set to OFF in the already lit lamp information (step S3306: No), the process proceeds to step S3307.

<Step S3307>
If there is an already lit lamp flag set to OFF in the already lit lamp information (step S3306: No), the MPU 51 reads the control order of the individual lamps (lamp control order) (step S3307).

Here, the lamp control order is set, for example, by a procedure similar to the display order setting process (see FIG. 35) of the first embodiment described above. That is, the lamp control order is determined by referring to the lamp control order determination table based on the set values stored in the RAM 412 when the power is turned on or when the set values are changed. This lamp control order determination table is the same as the number display order determination table (see FIG. 36) in the first embodiment. good. The number 1 in the number display order determination table in the first embodiment described above corresponds to the first individual lamp portion 351, and similarly, in the number display order determination table in the first embodiment described above. Numbers 2 to 6 correspond to the second to sixth individual lamp portions 352 to 356, respectively. For example, as shown in FIG. 68A, when the display order A1 is determined when the setting value is 1, the control order of the individual lamp units 351 to 356 is the second individual lamp unit 352→the third individual lamp unit 352. The order is the lamp portion 353 →fourth individual lamp portion 354 →fifth individual lamp portion 355 →sixth individual lamp portion 356 . Further, in the number display order determination table of the first embodiment, the probability of selecting each display order is the same, and in the lamp control order determination table of the present embodiment, each lamp control order is selected. are equally probable.

The lamp control order may be set when the power is turned on or when the set value is changed, but may be set when a predetermined period of time starts. Also, the lamp control orders need not have the same probability of being selected.

<Steps S3308 to S3310>
In step S3308, the MPU 51 determines the individual lamp units 351 to 356 to be controlled based on the lamp control order read out in step S3305 and the lit lamp information read out in step S3307 (step S3308). The lamp units 351 to 356 are turned on (step S3309). That is, a lamp lighting lottery is executed each time a game ball 99 enters the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, and when the lamp lighting lottery is won, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are lit. Specific information is presented indicating non-set values. Then, the MPU 51 updates the already lit lamp information (step S3310), and terminates the set value suggesting process. For example, when the already lit lamp information indicates that all the already lit lamp flags are set to OFF (initial state) as in the example shown in FIG. As shown in 68(C), the second lit lamp flag corresponding to the second individual lamp section 352 is set to ON.

Thus, in this embodiment, the lamp lighting lottery is executed each time the game ball 99 enters the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, and when the lamp lighting lottery is won, the individual lamp unit 351 to A non-set value can be identified by lighting 356 . That is, in this embodiment, the non-set value can be identified by turning on the individual lamps 351 to 356 even before the specific period elapses. By setting the individual lamp units 351 to 356 in one of the two states of the lit state and the extinguished state in this way, the non-set value can be specified by the number attached to the individual lamp units 351 to 356 in the lit state. be. That is, in the present embodiment, only the information that allows the non-set value to be specified is presented by lighting the individual lamps 351 to 356, and the information that allows the non-set value to be estimated is not presented. Therefore, after specific information that can identify one non-set value is presented, specific information for estimating the non-set value is not unnecessarily presented, so unnecessary specific information is not presented. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game due to

<Step S3311>
When the ending effect start flag is off (step S3301: No), it is determined whether or not the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S3311). The jackpot game effect end flag is a flag for ending the jackpot game effect (ending effect), and is set to ON in step S2118 of the command determination process in FIG. Then, when the jackpot game effect end flag is on (step S3311: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3312, and when the jackpot game effect end flag is off (step S3311: No), the set value Terminate the suggestion process.

<Step S3312>
When the jackpot game effect end flag is ON (step S3311: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the jackpot type to end is the 5R normal jackpot (step S3312). Whether or not the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot can be determined based on whether or not the 5R normal jackpot flag that can be set to ON in step S2103 of FIG. 37 is ON. Then, when the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot (step S3312: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3313, and when the jackpot type is not the 5R normal jackpot (step S3312: No), the setting value suggestion process is performed. finish.

<Steps S3313 and S3314>
If the jackpot type is the 5R normal jackpot (step S3312: Yes), the MPU 51, among the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the lamp display portion 35, if there is an individual lamp portion 351 to 356 that is lit, that The individual lamp units 351 to 356 are extinguished (step S3313), the already lit lamp information is cleared (initialized), and the set value suggesting process ends. That is, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the lamp display portion 35 are extinguished when the 5R normal jackpot for which the end of the predetermined period is set. As a result, the lit individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are kept lit until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. Therefore, until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set, it is possible to confirm that the individual lamp parts 351 to 356 are turned on at any time, that is, the specific information specifying the non-set value. . Therefore, the previously presented specific information in the same predetermined period is not forgotten, and convenience is improved when specifying a plurality of non-set values based on the specific information, and when specifying or estimating the set value. be done.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when winning the lamp lighting lottery executed when the game ball 99 enters the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, it corresponds to the non-set value in the lamp display unit 35. Although the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are turned on, it is optional to perform the lamp lighting lottery. When the ball 99 is entered, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 corresponding to the non-set values may be turned on. When the lamp lighting lottery is not performed in this way, the difficulty of the game ball 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 is increased, or the game ball 99 entering the special out ball mouth 373 is detected by the special out ball sensor 384 It is conceivable to adjust the probability that the individual lamp units 351 to 356 are turned on by sorting into routes detected by the special out ball sensor 384 and routes not detected by the special out ball sensor 384 .

As described above, in the present embodiment, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the lamp display portion 35 that present non-set values are set to either of the two states of the lit state and the extinguished state, and the individual lamp portion 351 in the lit state Information specifying the non-set value is presented by a type (number) of .about.356. That is, in the present embodiment, only the information that allows the non-set value to be specified is presented by lighting the individual lamps 351 to 356, and the information that allows the non-set value to be estimated is not presented. Therefore, after specific information that can identify one non-set value is presented, specific information for estimating the non-set value is not unnecessarily presented, so unnecessary specific information is not presented. This prevents a decrease in interest in the game due to

In addition, the lighted individual lamp parts 351 to 356 are immediately lighted by winning the lamp lighting lottery executed when the game ball 99 is entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, The lit individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are kept lit until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set. Therefore, until the end of the 5R normal jackpot game in which the end of the predetermined period is set, the specific information for specifying the non-set value is confirmed at any time based on whether the individual lamp parts 351 to 356 are lit. be able to. Therefore, the specific information presented in the previous specific period in the same predetermined period is not forgotten, and it is convenient when specifying a plurality of non-set values based on the specific information, and by extension, when specifying or estimating the set value. performance is improved.

In addition, in this embodiment, as a specific condition for controlling the first to sixth individual ramp portions 351 to 356, in addition to the game ball 99 being entered into the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37 , on the condition that you win the lamp lighting lottery. As a result, the degree of difficulty in meeting the specific condition is adjusted according to the winning probability of the lamp lighting lottery, and the difficulty in specifying all of the plurality of non-set values is adjusted. Therefore, the degree of difficulty of lighting each of the five individual lamp units 351 to 356 that display numbers corresponding to the non-set values of the lamp display unit 35 is adjusted, and the five non-set values can be easily specified. That is, the setting value is prevented from being easily recognized.

In addition, it is immediately lit by winning the lamp lighting lottery executed when the game ball 99 enters the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37, but the lamp lighting lottery is executed ( The fact that the game ball 99 has entered the special out ball 373) and the result of the lamp lighting lottery may be indicated to the player on display means other than the lamp display section 35. For example, as shown in FIG. 69(A), the execution of the lamp lighting lottery (that the game ball 99 has entered the special out ball mouth 373 of the crew device 37) is clearly indicated to the player. As shown in (B1) or FIG. 69 (B2), the result of the lamp lighting lottery is clearly indicated to the player, and the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 that are lit as shown in FIG. 69 (C1) or FIG. 69 (C2). Information about is clearly displayed in the pattern display section 341 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 69(A), when the game ball 99 is entered into the special out ball opening 373 of the crew device 37, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the lamp display portion 35 are lit. An image is displayed to draw attention to the possibility, that is, the lamp display section 35 (roulette). In this way, the symbol display unit 341 clearly indicates that the lamp lighting lottery is executed (that the game ball 99 has entered the special out ball 373), so that the game ball 99 is placed in the special out ball 373. Even if the player misses that the ball is entered, the image displayed on the symbol display unit 341 also indicates that the game ball 99 has been entered into the special out ball opening 373, that is, the individual lamp units 351 to 356 It is possible to grasp that there is a possibility that the light will be turned on.

Then, when winning the lamp lighting lottery, as shown in FIG. 69(B1), information regarding the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 to be turned on is clearly displayed. In the illustrated example, it is clearly shown that the second individual lamp portion 352 is lit. In this way, by clearly indicating the result of the lamp lighting lottery in the pattern display part 341, not only the lamp display part 35 but also the pattern display part 341 can grasp whether or not the individual lamp parts 351 to 356 are lit. Convenience is improved because it becomes possible to

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 69 (C1), in the symbol display unit 341, during the execution of the jackpot game (at least during the execution of the opening/closing execution mode), the information regarding the individual lamp units 351 to 356 being lit is continuously displayed. be done. That is, the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 of the individual lamp portion 35 that are lit are displayed in the pattern display portion 341 . It should be noted that, until the end of the 5R normal jackpot in which the end of the predetermined period is set, for example, in the jackpot game (at least the open/close execution mode), information about the individual lamp units 351 to 356 that are lit may be displayed. .

On the other hand, when the result of the lamp lighting lottery is non-winning, an image is displayed clearly indicating that the result of the lamp lighting lottery is non-winning, as shown in FIG. 69(B1). In this way, during the execution of the jackpot game (at least during the execution of the opening/closing execution mode), the symbol display section 341 continuously displays information about the individual lamp sections 351 to 356 that are being lit, so that the lamp display section 35 is displayed. The lighting of the individual lamps 351 to 356 can be confirmed even in the pattern display section 341 without needing confirmation, so convenience is improved.

Further, the specific information indicating the non-set value may be presented only in the pattern display section 341 instead of the lamp display section 35 provided separately from the pattern display section 341 . In other words, the specific information may be presented to the player only by the effect in the symbol display section 341 regarding the lamp lighting lottery in the jackpot game (opening/closing execution mode) described with reference to FIG.

Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, an ending addition image for specifying a non-set value may be displayed on the symbol display section 341 in the ending effect of the jackpot game. . For example, as shown in FIG. 70, at the ending of the jackpot game, an image imitating the lamp display portion 35 is displayed in the symbol display portion 341 as the ending additional image. In the example shown in FIG. 70(A), it is clearly shown that only the second individual lamp portion 352 is lit in the lamp display portion 35, and in the example shown in FIG. It is clearly shown that the sixth individual lamp portions 352 to 356 are lit and only the first individual lamp portion 351 is extinguished. In this way, by displaying the lit/unlit state of the lamp display portion 35 by the symbol display portion 341 at the ending of the big win game, the lit/unlit state of the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 lit up to the big win game can be confirmed. Therefore, convenience is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the lamp display portion 35 in which the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are arranged in rows (lines) is employed. are not limited to being arranged in a row, but other forms can also be adopted. For example, as shown in FIG. 71(A), a lamp display section 35 in which individual lamp sections 351 to 356 are arranged in a ring, and as shown in FIG. can also Further, the lamp display portion 35 may be one in which the individual lamp portions 351 to 356 are arranged in a zigzag pattern.

Further, instead of the lamp display unit 35, a display device in which a plurality of 7-segment display devices are arranged in a row, ring, matrix, staggered pattern, or the like may be employed.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the first to fourth embodiments described above are possible within the applicable range.

[Sixth embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, based on the number of times a specific condition is satisfied in a specific period, after the specific period (ending of the jackpot game), corresponding to each of a plurality of non-set values (set values) A case has been described in which all or part of the specific information is presented on the 7-segment display section 39, and the presentation of the specific information on the 7-segment display section 39 ends when the jackpot game ends.

By the way, it is not preferable for the gaming machine to arouse the gambling spirit of the player by excessively increasing the number of paid balls. In addition, recent players tend not to want the game machine to excessively increase or decrease the number of balls paid out in a short period of time. There is a tendency to desire a gradual increase or decrease in the number of balls released.

As a method of slowing the increase and decrease of the number of balls released in the game machine, for example, setting the jackpot probability in the normal game state (low probability mode) high, setting the probability variable jackpot ratio in the probability variable game machine low (variable probability continuation rate is set low), and setting the jackpot probability in the variable probability game state (high probability mode) low. Especially these days, there is a tendency to set the jackpot probability low in the variable probability game state (high probability mode) in order to suppress a rapid increase in the number of balls released. Also, in order to suppress an excessive increase in the number of payout balls in the variable probability game state, it is conceivable to set the variation display time in the variation game relatively long (for example, 15 seconds or more). When the variable display time is set relatively long in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. Easy to set patterns. This ready-to-win effect pattern is set based on the lottery result of the big win lottery, and suggests the degree of expectation for the big win in the high-speed fluctuation effect and the ready-to-win effect. Further, during the execution of the high-speed fluctuation effect and the ready-to-win effect, the advance notice effect suggesting the degree of expectation for the big win is appropriately executed.

However, even in the probability variable gaming state (high probability mode), most of the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are out. In addition, when the lottery result of the big win lottery is a loss, a performance pattern with a low degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be set, and a performance with a low degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be set as the advance notice performance. Therefore, in the probability variable gaming state, the performance with low expectation for big wins is likely to occur frequently, and the increasing speed of the number of paid balls can be reduced. On the other hand, if an effect with a low expectation of a big win is executed for a relatively long variable display time, the tempo of the variable game that is executed one after another is bad, and the player is likely to feel a sense of sluggishness. Loss of interest in games. In particular, when the jackpot probability in the variable game state (high probability mode) is set low, the average number of games required to reach the next jackpot increases, and the average playing time required to reach the next jackpot increases. The interest in the game is further reduced.

On the other hand, while setting the jackpot probability in the probability variable gaming state, the variable display time of the variable game is set short, for example, the variable display time is set to a short variable display time of about 3 seconds, and this short variable display time is selected. It is also possible to make it easier. Thus, by facilitating the setting of the short variation display time in the variable probability gaming state, for example, as shown in FIG. Game tempo improves.

However, in the short fluctuation display of about 3 seconds, although the tempo of the fluctuation games that are executed one after another is improved, it is difficult to execute a sufficient deviation effect during that time. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to understand what the effect is intended in the effect for the short-time fluctuation display, and it is also difficult for the player to understand the expectation that the lottery result of the big win lottery will be a big win. Therefore, even if the tempo of the fluctuating rhythm is given priority and an effect that is difficult to understand is repeated, the interest in the game may decrease. In addition, if the short fluctuation display time is easily selected, the average playing time of the fluctuation game will be shortened, and as a result, an excessive increase in the number of paid balls cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and a gradual increase or decrease in the number of paid balls will be hindered. .

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) out of a plurality of game times is used as the game time (variation display time) of the variable game for notifying that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is lost. ) can be set. Then, when a predetermined game time is set, a specific effect in which a predetermined variation (for example, pseudo-variation) is performed a specific number of times (for example, three times) without executing a predetermined effect (for example, an advance notice effect) as a game effect. (For example, a pseudo-run 3 effect) can be executed, or a predetermined effect (for example, advance notice effect) can be executed, and an effect in which a predetermined variation is executed a number of times smaller than a specific number of times (for example, once) can be executed.

Thus, in the present embodiment, as a game effect, a specific effect (for example, a pseudo continuous 3 effect) is executed, the tempo in the variation game improves due to the predetermined variation of the specific number of times. Most of the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are failures, and when the failures continue, the specific effect can be repeatedly executed. As a result, in the present embodiment, by repeating the predetermined variation, the tempo of the variable game that is executed one after another can be improved while preventing the delay of the game performance, as in the conventional gaming machine in which the short variation display time is likely to be selected. it becomes possible to That is, in this embodiment, instead of the short-time variation display of about 3 seconds as the game time, a specific effect in which a predetermined variation is performed a specific number of times is adopted, thereby improving the tempo of the variation games that are performed one after another. it becomes possible to

Further, in the present embodiment, repetition of the predetermined variation makes it difficult for the player to recognize the discontinuity between the variation games (at the end of the variation game). Therefore, when the ready-to-win effect is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the ready-to-win effect has suddenly started. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the unexpectedness of the sudden start of the ready-to-win effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, the specific effect is such that a predetermined variation such as a pseudo-variation is executed a specific number of times, thereby making it easier for the player to understand the intention of the effect and the degree of expectation for a big win. As a result, in this embodiment, the pseudo-variation in the variable game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another can be improved, and the intention of the performance and the degree of expectation for the big win can be communicated to the player. becomes easy to understand, and the decline in interest in the game is prevented. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by setting the predetermined game time to a time during which the predetermined variation can be executed a specific number of times, it is possible to prevent the average game time of the variation game from being shortened. Since this prevents the average playing time between jackpot games from being shortened, it is possible to sufficiently suppress an excessive increase in the number of paid balls and realize a gradual increase/decrease in the number of paid balls.

Further, in the present embodiment, a predetermined effect (for example, a notice effect) is executed as the game effect, and a variable game is executed by executing a predetermined variation a number of times (for example, once) less than the specific number of times. When it is executed one after another, a predetermined effect such as an advance notice effect is executed during repetition of the predetermined variation. Here, when the predetermined variation is repeated in the variation games that are executed one after another, excessive repetition of the predetermined variation may make the progress of the game monotonous and reduce the interest in the game. Therefore, when a predetermined effect such as a notice effect is executed while the variable games that are executed one after another are executed at a good tempo, the variable rhythm is given a change. This prevents the predetermined fluctuation from being repeated excessively, thereby preventing the progress of the game from becoming monotonous, thereby suppressing the decline in interest in the game.

Further, in the present embodiment, the variation time of the predetermined variation is, for example, the same or substantially the same as the time obtained by dividing the predetermined game time by the specific number of times, preferably minus 10 of the time obtained by dividing the predetermined game time by the specific number of times. % or more and +10% or less, more preferably -5% or more and +5% or less. Thus, by making the fluctuation time of the predetermined fluctuation the same or substantially the same as the time obtained by dividing the predetermined game time by the specific number of times, the fluctuation time of each predetermined fluctuation is equalized, and the fluctuation of each predetermined fluctuation in the specific effect. Game time is uniformed. As a result, it is possible to perform the predetermined fluctuation of the specific number of times in the specific performance in the variable game at a good tempo. Therefore, it is possible to improve the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another, thereby further suppressing the decrease in interest in the game. In particular, when the variation time of the predetermined variation is the same as the time obtained by dividing the predetermined game time by the specific number of times, the time of each predetermined variation in the specific effect is the same, so the tempo of the variation game that is executed one after another is reduced. Since it becomes possible to further improve the game, the decline in interest in the game is further suppressed.

In addition, in this embodiment, a high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state) with a high probability of opening an electric role that switches whether or not to limit the entry of balls into the (second) winning opening, which triggers the jackpot lottery. , a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) can be selected as the variable display time. Here, in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state and time-saving gaming state), if the probability that the game ball is allowed to enter the (second) start port is the second probability, the transition determination is It is easy to execute repeatedly and continuously. Therefore, in the case of a high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state) with a high probability of opening the electric accessory that switches whether or not to limit the entry of balls into the (second) winning opening, which triggers the jackpot lottery, By selecting a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) as the variable display time, it becomes easier to repeat the specific effect in which the predetermined variation is performed a specific number of times. As a result, it is possible to further improve the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another, thereby further suppressing the decrease in interest in the game.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) can be determined as the variable display time when the game is executed in the high-probability mode of the jackpot lottery. In this way, when the jackpot lottery is executed in the high-probability mode, a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) can be determined as the variable display time. Since the tempo of the variable game to be executed can be improved, the decline in interest in the game is further suppressed.

Further, in this embodiment, when the right to execute the variable game is reserved, a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) can be determined as the variable display time. Here, when the right to execute the variable game is reserved, if a predetermined game time can be determined as the variable display time, the big winning lottery and the variable game for notifying the result are likely to be repeatedly and continuously executed. . Therefore, when the right to execute a variable game is reserved, a predetermined game time (for example, 9 seconds) can be determined as the variable display time, so that a specific effect in which a predetermined number of times of predetermined variations is executed is repeatedly executed. easier to be This makes it possible to improve the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another, thereby further suppressing the decline in interest in the game.

Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined effect includes an advance notice effect suggesting the degree of expectation that the lottery result of the big win lottery will be a big win. In this way, the predetermined performance includes the advance notice performance suggesting the degree of expectation that the lottery results in the jackpot lottery will be a big win, so that the specific performance in which the predetermined fluctuation is executed for a specific number of times is easily executed repeatedly. As a result, it is possible to improve the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another, thereby further suppressing the decrease in interest in the game.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 72 to 89, focusing on differences from the first embodiment described above.

Here, FIG. 72 is a diagram showing an example of a variation table used by the main controller 4 of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment in the low frequency support mode and in the high frequency support mode without suspension. FIG. 73 shows an example of a variation table used by main controller 4 when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode.

As shown in FIG. 72, the variation table A used in the low-frequency support mode and when there is no hold in the high-frequency support mode is a normal jackpot variation table A (Fig. 72 (A)), probability variable jackpot variation table A (see FIG. 72 (B)), and deviation variation table A (see FIG. 72 (C)). The normal jackpot variation table A corresponds to the normal jackpot variation table (see FIG. 15A) in the first embodiment described above, and the probability variable jackpot variation table A corresponds to the probability variable jackpot variation table in the first embodiment (see FIG. 15(B)), and the deviation fluctuation table A corresponds to the deviation fluctuation table (see FIG. 15(C)) in the first embodiment. That is, in the present embodiment, in the case of the low frequency support mode in which the probability of opening the electric accessory 315b is low, and in the case of the high frequency support mode in which the probability of opening the electric accessory 315b is high, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game , the variation pattern is determined according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery as in the first embodiment.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 73, the variation table B used when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode is the normal jackpot variation table B (FIG. 73 (A )), probability variable jackpot variation table B (see FIG. 73(B)), and outlier variation table B (see FIG. 73(C)). Unlike the normal jackpot fluctuation table A (see FIG. 72(A)), the normal jackpot fluctuation table B includes a fluctuation pattern whose fluctuation display time is 9 seconds. Unlike the probability variable jackpot variation table A (see FIG. 72(B)), the probability variable jackpot variation table B includes a variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds. Unlike the deviation fluctuation table A (see FIG. 72B), the deviation fluctuation table B includes a fluctuation pattern with a fluctuation display time of 9 seconds. That is, in the present embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state) with a high opening probability of the electric accessory 315b, the variable table B used is A variable display time of 9 seconds may be included, and 9s may be selected as the variable display time.

Then, in the deviation fluctuation table B (see FIG. 73 (C)), in the case of deviation reach (front-rear deviation reach and reach other than front-rear deviation), there is no distribution of the variation pattern with a fluctuation display time of 9 seconds, but complete deviation In this case, only the variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds is included. Here, in the failure type table (see FIG. 14(D)), the complete failure sorting is overwhelmingly more common than the failure reach sorting, and the perfect failure can be selected with a probability of about 84%. In other words, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state) with a high opening probability of the electric accessory 315b. A variation pattern with a display time of 9 seconds can be selected with a high probability. In addition, in the high-frequency support mode, the reserve of the right to execute the variable game tends to accumulate up to the upper limit or a number close to it. Therefore, in the high-frequency support mode, a variable game with a variable display time of 9 seconds is likely to be repeatedly and continuously executed.

As will be described later, in the present embodiment, a pseudo continuous effect is included as the variable game effect when the decorative symbols are variably displayed in the symbol display section 341 . In this pseudo-continuous production, the pseudo-variation production in which the variation start (including the re-variation start) and the variation stop (including the pseudo-stop) of the decorative symbols in the symbol display section 341 is set as one unit, is performed once during one variation game. It is an effect that is executed once or multiple times. In the present embodiment, the pseudo-fluctuation effect that is executed for a certain period of time (for example, 3 seconds) is executed once or multiple times with the upper limit number (specified number of times) set to 3 times. Therefore, by including a variation pattern of 9 seconds in the variation pattern B when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time saving gaming state), the upper limit number of 3 times Pseudo-continuous effects including pseudo-fluctuation effects can be executed. Further, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, when a variation pattern of 9 seconds is set, according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, the jackpot pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table (see FIG. 77) or the lost pseudo-continuous An effect pattern to be executed in the variation game is determined based on the effect pattern type selection table (see FIG. 78). In the winning pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table (see FIG. 78) used when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, the effect pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times is likely to be selected. Therefore, in the high-frequency support mode in which the reservation of the right to execute the variable game tends to accumulate, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery continues to be lost, the pseudo-continuous performance including the pseudo-variable performance three times can be repeatedly executed. Therefore, in the high-frequency support mode in which the right to execute variable games is likely to be reserved, as described above, the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another can be improved, so that the interest in the game is reduced. more restrained.

In addition, when the pseudo-variation performance is executed multiple times, each pseudo-variation performance does not necessarily have to be executed in a uniform fixed time, and the performance time of at least one pseudo-variation performance is the performance period of the other pseudo-variation performance. may be different from For example, in the effect pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times in the variation pattern of 9 seconds, the execution time of the pseudo-variable effect is executed in a combination of 2 seconds, 3 seconds and 4 seconds, and 2.5 seconds and 3 seconds. and 3.5 seconds, and may be performed in combinations of 2.5 seconds, 2.5 seconds and 4 seconds. However, it is preferable that the execution time of each pseudo-fluctuation effect is approximately the same time, even if it is not uniform. For example, the execution time of the pseudo-variation effect is preferably -10% or more + 10% or less, and -5% or more based on the time obtained by dividing the variation pattern (variation display time) by the upper limit number (specific number of times) of the pseudo-variation effect +5% or less is more preferable. Specifically, if the variable display time of the pseudo-fluctuation effect is 9 seconds, this time is divided by 3 times, which is the upper limit of the pseudo-variation effect, and 3 seconds is used as the reference, and the effect time of each pseudo-variation effect is 2.7 seconds or more and 3.3 seconds are preferable, and 2.85 seconds or more and 3.15 seconds are more preferable. That is, the performance time of each pseudo-variation performance may be set within a range in which the pseudo-variation performance in the variation game can be executed with a good sense of tempo and the good tempo of the variation games executed one after another can be maintained.

Also, the variation pattern of 9 seconds in which the pseudo-variation effect is executed at least once may be set even in the low-probability mode or when there is no suspension. Moreover, the variation pattern in which the pseudo-variation performance is executed at least once does not necessarily have to be 9 seconds. That is, the effect variation pattern including at least one pseudo-variation effect may be set within a range that does not give the player a sense of delay, and may be, for example, 3 seconds or 6 seconds. In addition, the variation pattern of the effect including the pseudo-variation effect in which the pseudo-variation effect is at least once does not have to be one type, and a plurality of types may be set. For example, variation patterns of 3 seconds, 6 seconds, and 9 seconds may be set, and at least one pseudo-variation effect may be executed in these variation patterns.

In addition, in the normal jackpot variation table B and the probability variable jackpot variation table B, the variation pattern with the variation display time of 9 seconds is small, and the variation pattern with the variation display time of 9 seconds is difficult to select. In this way, it is difficult to select a variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds in the normal jackpot variation table B and the probability variable jackpot variation table B, so that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a big hit (normal jackpot or probability variable jackpot) ), it is difficult to select 9 seconds as the variable display time. On the other hand, as described above, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, the variation pattern with the variation display time of 9 seconds is likely to be selected. Therefore, when the variation display time in the variation game is 9 seconds, the player tends to think that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is lost, so when the variation display time is 9 seconds, the lottery result. By notifying that is a big win, the player can be surprised by an event that is unexpected and advantageous to the player, so that the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, in the probability variable jackpot variation table B, the distribution of the variation pattern with the variation display time of 9 seconds is greatly doubled compared to the normal jackpot variation table B. In this way, in the probability variable jackpot variation table B, since the distribution of variation patterns with a variation display time of 9 seconds is large compared to the normal jackpot variation table B, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a probability variable jackpot, a lottery is performed. 9 seconds is more likely to be selected as the variable display time than when the result is a normal jackpot. Therefore, when it is notified that the lottery result is a big win when the variable display time is 9 seconds, the probability of the probability variable big win increases. As a result, when it is reported that the lottery result is a big win when the variable display time is 9 seconds, expectations for the probability variable big win increase, so that the player can enjoy the game while paying attention to the subsequent trend. .

In the present embodiment, the case where 9 s can be selected as the variable display time regardless of whether the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot or a loss has been described, but at least the lottery result of the jackpot lottery The variation table may be set such that 9s may be selected as the variation display time if is off.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the case of high frequency support mode, that is, in both the probability variable gaming state and the time saving gaming state, the case where 9 seconds can be selected as the variable display time was described, but at least the lottery in the jackpot lottery The variation table can be set so that if the result is a miss, 9 seconds can be selected as the variation display time.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the case of the low frequency support mode, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the case of the high frequency support mode, the case where 9 seconds can be selected as the variable display time has been described. , in the case of the low frequency support mode, in the case of the high frequency support mode, if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game, in the high frequency support mode, if the reservation is 2 or more or 3 or more, the variable display time The variation table may be set up so that 9 seconds can be selected as .

Also, the variable table may be set so that 9 seconds can be selected as the variable display time for the hold on the winning of the second starting port 315 .

[Variation start processing]
Here, FIG. 74 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the variation start process executed in the variation game control process of FIG.

<Step S3401>
As shown in FIG. 74, the fluctuation start process of this embodiment is basically the same as the fluctuation start process (see FIG. 26) of the first embodiment described above, except that The procedure of the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S3401) is different from the fluctuation start process.

[Variation pattern setting process]
The variation pattern setting process of this embodiment differs from that of the above-described first embodiment in the variation pattern setting procedure when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode. Specifically, in the variation pattern setting process of the present embodiment, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, a variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds can be selected. Here, FIG. 75 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the variation pattern setting process executed in the variation start process of FIG.

<Step S3501>
As shown in FIG. 75, in the variation pattern setting process of this embodiment, first, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the high frequency support mode is set (step S3501). Whether or not the high-frequency support mode is set to ON based on a command transmitted from the main controller 4 when the high-frequency support mode is started, for example, and when the high-frequency support mode is terminated The determination is made based on the flag that is set to OFF based on the command sent from the control device 4 . Then, when the MPU 41 is in the high frequency support mode (step S3501: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3502. On the other hand, if the MPU 41 is not in the high-frequency support mode (step S3501: No), that is, if it is in the low-frequency support mode, the process proceeds to step S3503.

<Step S3502>
If the high-frequency support mode (step S3501: Yes), the MPU41 whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute a variation game in addition to the variation game for which the variation pattern is set in the variation pattern setting process (step S3502). Whether or not the right to execute the variable game is reserved can be determined by referring to the contents stored in the first reservation storage area REA and the second reservation storage area REB of the reservation storage area 412b set in the RAM 412. be. Then, when the MPU 41 does not reserve the right to execute a variable game (step S3502: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3503, and when there is a reserve of the right to execute a variable game (step S3502: No), the process to step S3508.

<Step S3503>
If the low frequency support mode (step S3501: No), or if there is no suspension in the high frequency support mode (step S3502: Yes), the MPU 41 determines whether the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a normal jackpot. It is determined whether or not (step S3503). Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a normal jackpot is determined, for example, on the basis of the success/failure information stored in the execution area AE. Then, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a normal jackpot (step S3503: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3504, and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a normal jackpot. If so (step S3503: No), the process proceeds to step S3505.

<Step S3504>
When the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is a normal jackpot (step S3503: Yes), the MPU 41 sets a variation pattern based on the normal jackpot variation table A (see FIG. 72(A)) (step S3504 ), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

<Step S3505>
When the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a normal jackpot (step S3503: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot (step S3505). . Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot is determined based on win/fail information stored in the execution area AE, for example. Then, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot (step S3505: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3506, and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a probability variable jackpot. If so (step S3505: No), the process proceeds to step S3507.

<Step S3506>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot (step S3505: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern based on the probability variable jackpot variation table A (see FIG. 72 (B)) (step S3506 ), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

<Step S3507>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a probability variable jackpot (step S3505: No), the MPU 41 can determine that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is out. (C) reference) to set a variation pattern based on (step S3507), and terminate the variation pattern setting process.

<Step S3508>
When there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high-frequency support mode (step S3502: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a normal jackpot (step S3508 ). Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a normal jackpot is determined based on win/fail information stored in the execution area AE, for example. If the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a normal jackpot (step S3508: Yes), the MPU 41 moves the process to step S3509, and if the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a normal jackpot ( Step S3508: No), the process proceeds to step S3510.

<Step S3509>
When the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is a normal jackpot (step S3508: Yes), the MPU 41 sets a variation pattern based on the normal jackpot variation table B (see FIG. 73(A)) (step S3509 ), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

<Step S3510>
When the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a normal jackpot (step S3508: No), the MPU 41 determines whether the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot (step S3510). . Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot is determined based on win/fail information stored in the execution area AE, for example. Then, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot (step S3510: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S3511, and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a probability variable jackpot. If so (step S3510: No), the process proceeds to step S3512.

<Step S3511>
When the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a probability variable jackpot (step S3510: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern based on the probability variable jackpot variation table A (see FIG. 73 (B)) (step S3511 ), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

<Step S3512>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a probability variable jackpot (step S3510: No), the MPU 41 can determine that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is out. (C) reference) to set the variation pattern based on (step S3512), and terminate the variation pattern setting process.

In this way, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high frequency support mode, unlike the variation pattern as in the first embodiment described above, according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, the variation A variation pattern is set based on the variation pattern table B including 9 seconds as the display time, and 9 seconds can be set as the variation display time.

[Production pattern determination process]
In this embodiment, the effect pattern determination process in step S2103 in the command determination process of FIG. 37 determines a special pseudo continuous effect pattern when the variable display time is 9 seconds. Different from the embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, since a special pseudo-continuous effect pattern is determined when the variable display time is 9 seconds, the pseudo-continuous effect is also performed in the normal ready-to-win effect pattern, the super ready-to-win effect pattern, and the special ready-to-win effect pattern. It is also different from the above-described first embodiment in that the included effect pattern can be determined.

Here, FIG. 76 is a diagram showing an example of a variation type table used by the sound ramp control device when a variation pattern command is received in the command determination process of FIG.

As described above, the variation table B (see FIG. 73) used when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode includes a variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 76, in the variation type table of the present embodiment, unlike the variation type table of the first embodiment (see FIG. 38B), the variation display time corresponds to 9 seconds. A production pattern is set. Specifically, the variation type table of the present embodiment includes a variation pattern command "A06" indicating that the variation display time is 9 seconds when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 5R normal jackpot, A variation pattern command "B06" indicating that the variation display time is 9 seconds when the lottery result is a 5R probability variable jackpot, and the variation display time is 9 seconds when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a 16R probability variable jackpot. A pseudo-continuous effect pattern is associated with the variation pattern command "C06" indicating that the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, and the variation pattern command "D06" indicating that the variation display time is 9 seconds when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is lost. there is

FIG. 77 shows a jackpot pseudo-continuous effect pattern used in the sound lamp control device 5 when the fluctuation pattern command indicates that the fluctuation display time is 9 seconds and the jackpot lottery result is a jackpot. FIG. 78 is a diagram showing an example of a type selection table, and FIG. 78 is a variation pattern command used in the sound lamp control device 5 when the variation display time is 9 seconds and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a continuous effect pattern type selection table; The pseudo-continuous effect pattern will be described below with reference to FIGS. 77 and 78, etc. First, the color of the decoration pattern and the pseudo-continuous pattern will be described.

As described above, the decoration pattern is composed of numbers 1 to 9, for example. Of the numbers 1 to 9 (decorative patterns), for example, the even numbers "2", "4", "6" and "8" are displayed in blue (these are called "blue patterns"). Among the odd numbers, for example, "3" and "7" are displayed in red (these are called "red symbols"). Among the odd numbers, for example, "1", "5" and "9" other than "3" and "7" are displayed in yellow (these are referred to as "yellow symbols").

Further, the pseudo-continuous continuation item is a combination of temporary stop display of decorative symbols that clearly indicates that the pseudo-variation effect will be executed after the pseudo-variation effect (that the pseudo-continuous effect will continue). In this embodiment, the above-mentioned pseudo-continuous continuation is a combination of temporary stop display of the same color symbols other than the combination of jackpot symbols, for example, a pseudo-continuous continuation of blue symbols and a pseudo-continuous continuation of yellow symbols. Includes continuations and pseudo-continuations with red symbols. In addition, the color of the number (decorative pattern) in the pseudo-continuous continuation indicates, for example, the pseudo-continuous continuation expectation, the jackpot expectation, the reach occurrence expectation, the performance development expectation, etc. "symbol" and "blue symbol" suggest that the degree of expectation is high in this order. In other words, when the pseudo-continuation pattern of the red symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed, a chance-up effect is provided in which the degree of expectation for the pseudo-continuation is increased.

As a pseudo-continuous pattern of blue symbols, a specific rule such as a combination of the same symbols such as "244", "466", "822", etc., where the left symbol is a blue symbol and the middle and right symbols are different from the left symbol A symbol combination having a nature is mentioned. In addition, the pseudo-continuous continuation does not necessarily have to be a combination of symbols of the same color, and as a pseudo-continuous continuation of the blue symbol, for example, the blue symbol is temporarily stopped on the left and right symbols, and the pseudo-continuous is displayed as the middle symbol. A mode is also conceivable in which a special symbol indicating the continuation of is temporarily stopped and displayed. As the special symbol, for example, an image including a character string indicating or suggesting continuation such as "NEXT", "one more time", or "continue", or an image including a character can be considered. In addition, it is conceivable that the pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed after temporary stop display of a combination of symbols of the same color (separate stitches).

Pseudo-continuous continuations include yellow-patterned quasi-continuous continuations and red-patterned quasi-continuous continuations, but these quasi-continuous continuations are different from blue-patterned quasi-continuous continuations ( color) is different, and similar considerations apply.

Here, returning to the description of FIG. 77, the jackpot pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table shows that when the variation display time is 9 seconds and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot (variation pattern commands are "A06", "B06") , “C06”) to determine the effect pattern. The failure pseudo continuous effect pattern type selection table shown in FIG. 78 determines the effect pattern when the variation display time is 9 seconds and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a failure (when the variation pattern command is "D06"). used for

In the jackpot pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table and the losing pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table, 27 effect patterns are defined by the value of the effect pattern type counter. As production patterns, there are 6 pseudo-continuous 3 production patterns (pseudo-continuous 3 normal production patterns A to C, pseudo-continuous 3 chance production patterns A to C), 12 pseudo-continuous 2 production patterns (pseudo-continuous 2 normal production patterns A1-C1, pseudo-ren 2 normal production patterns A2-C2, pseudo-ren 2 chance production patterns A1-C1, pseudo-ren 2 chance production patterns A2-C2), 6 pseudo-ren 1 production patterns (pseudo-ren 1 normal production patterns A to C, pseudo-run 1-chance effect patterns A-C), and three pseudo-run 0-chance effect patterns (pseudo-run 0 chance effect patterns A to C).

In addition, in the present embodiment, the pseudo-fluctuation effect is the start of fluctuation (including the start of re-fluctuation) and the stoppage of fluctuation (including the pseudo-stop) of the decoration pattern in the pattern display section 341 in one fluctuation game for a certain period of time (3 seconds). A pseudo-fluctuation completed with is regarded as one unit, and this pseudo-fluctuation is executed once or multiple times. However, in the present embodiment, the effect pattern type selection table for the variable display time of 9 seconds from which the pseudo-continuous effect pattern can be selected is called the pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table. In other words, the pseudo-continuous effect pattern type selection table includes a pseudo-continuous non-continuous effect pattern of 9 seconds in which the pseudo-variable effect is not executed even once, and such an effect pattern is called a pseudo-continuous 0 effect pattern. .

As shown in FIG. 79, in the pseudo-run 3 effect pattern, 9 seconds, which is the time of one fluctuation display, is evenly divided into three 3-second intervals (first interval (0 to 3 seconds), second interval ( 3 seconds to 6 seconds) and the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds)), the pseudo-fluctuation effect of 3 seconds is continuously executed. The pseudo-run 3 effect patterns include pseudo-run 3 normal effect patterns A to C and pseudo-run 3 chance effect patterns A to C.

It should be noted that each section in the case of 9 seconds, which is one time of variable display time, does not necessarily have to be uniform, and at least one section may be different from the other sections. In this case, each section is, for example, a combination of 2 seconds, 3 seconds and 4 seconds, a combination of 2.5 seconds, 3 seconds and 3.5 seconds, a combination of 2.5 seconds, 2.5 seconds and 4 seconds, etc. may be However, it is preferable that each section has approximately the same time, even if it is not uniform. For example, each interval is preferably −10% or more and +10% or less, more preferably −5% or more and +5% or less, based on the time in the case of equalization (the time obtained by dividing the variable display time by the number of intervals). Specifically, when the variation pattern (variation display time) is 9 seconds and the number of segments is 3, each segment is 2.7 seconds or longer and 3.3 Seconds are preferable, and 2.85 seconds or more and 3.15 seconds are more preferable. In other words, each interval can be set within a range in which the pseudo-variation in the variation game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm and the good tempo of the variation games executed one after another can be maintained.

Pseudo-run 3 normal production patterns A to C are production patterns in which three times of pseudo-variation production is executed by one or both of blue and yellow symbols, and pseudo-variation production by red symbols, which is a chance-up production, is not executed. .

In the pseudo-continuous 3 normal production pattern A, the first pseudo-fluctuation production is executed by the blue pattern in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the second by the blue pattern in the second section (3 to 6 seconds). A pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed, and a third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with blue symbols in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds).

Specifically, in the first pseudo-fluctuation effect with blue symbols executed in the first section (0 seconds to 3 seconds), for example, as shown in FIG. "2" is temporarily stopped, and "4", which is the same blue symbol as the right symbol as the right symbol, is temporarily stopped. After the pseudo-inciting effect that is likely to be done is executed, the blue symbol "4", which is the same blue symbol as the right symbol, is temporarily stopped and displayed as the middle symbol, so that the blue symbol is a pseudo continuous continuation ("244" in the illustrated example). occurs.

Also, the second pseudo-variation effect with blue symbols executed in the second section (3 seconds to 6 seconds) is performed in the same manner as the first pseudo-variation effect with blue symbols. For example, as shown in FIG. 80(B), in the second pseudo-fluctuation effect with a blue symbol, a blue symbol "4" temporarily stops as a left symbol on the effective line, and a right symbol different from the left symbol. In the state where the blue symbol "6" is temporarily stopped, the same blue symbol "6" as the middle symbol and the right symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. As the same blue symbol "6" is temporarily stopped and displayed, a blue symbol quasi-continuous continuation ("466" in the illustrated example) is generated.

Also, in the third pseudo-fluctuation production by the blue pattern executed in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds), after the pseudo-inciting production is executed in the same way as the first and second pseudo-variation productions by the blue pattern , (book) decoration patterns are stopped and displayed in a pattern combination according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game. For example, as shown in FIG. 80(C), in the third pseudo-fluctuation production with blue symbols, after a pseudo-inciting production that seems to stop displaying "688" as a symbol combination is executed, a jackpot lottery is performed. If the result of the lottery is a big win, the doubles ("888" in the illustrated example), which is a big win symbol combination, are stopped and displayed. On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is a loss, a combination of winning symbols, such as a loose pattern ("698" in the illustrated example), is stopped and displayed.

Returning to the description of FIG. 79, in the pseudo-run 3 normal effect pattern B, the first pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with blue symbols in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the second section (3 to 6 seconds). , the second pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with blue symbols, and the third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with yellow symbols in the third section (6 to 9 seconds).

In addition, in the pseudo-continuous 3 normal effect pattern C, the first pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with the blue pattern in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the yellow pattern in the second section (3 to 6 seconds). A third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed, and a third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with yellow symbols in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds).

Pseudo-run 3 chance production patterns A to C are basically the same as pseudo-run 3 normal production patterns A to C, but at least one of the three pseudo-variation productions is a chance-up production. It is different from the pseudo-continuous 3 normal production patterns A to C in that the pseudo-fluctuation production by the red symbol is executed.

In the pseudo-continuous 3-chance production pattern A, the first pseudo-fluctuation production is executed with the blue pattern in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the second section with the yellow pattern in the second section (3 to 6 seconds). A pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed, and the third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with a red pattern in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds). That is, the pseudo-run 3-chance effect pattern A is a effect pattern in which the pseudo-fluctuation effect is stepped up in the order of blue symbol→yellow symbol→red symbol.

Specifically, the first pseudo-fluctuation production by the blue pattern executed in the first section (0 seconds to 3 seconds) is, for example, as shown in FIG. It is executed in the same manner as the first pseudo-fluctuation performance with blue symbols, and a pseudo consecutive continuation eye with blue symbols ("244" in the illustrated example) is generated.

In addition, in the second pseudo-fluctuation effect with yellow symbols executed in the second section (3 seconds to 6 seconds), for example, as shown in FIG. 1" is temporarily stopped and "5" which is a blue pattern different from the left pattern is temporarily stopped as the right pattern, and "5" which is the same yellow pattern as the right pattern as the middle pattern is likely to be temporarily stopped and displayed. After the pseudo-flashing effect is executed, a yellow symbol "5", which is the same yellow symbol as the right symbol, is temporarily stopped and displayed as a middle symbol, thereby generating a pseudo-continuous yellow symbol ("155" in the illustrated example). .

Also, in the third pseudo-fluctuation effect with the red pattern executed in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds), for example, as shown in FIG. 3" is stopped and "7" which is a red pattern different from the left pattern is stopped as the right pattern, and "7" which is the same red pattern as the right pattern as the middle pattern is likely to be (mainly) stopped. After the execution of the pseudo fanning performance by the red pattern, the decoration pattern is (mainly) stopped and displayed in a pattern combination according to the lottery result of the big win lottery for the variable game. For example, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the combination of jackpot symbols ("888" in the illustrated example) is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when the result of the lottery is a loss, a combination of winning symbols, such as a loose pattern ("397" in the illustrated example), is stopped and displayed.

Returning to the description of FIG. 79, in the pseudo-run 3-chance effect pattern B, the first pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with blue symbols in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the second section (3 to 6 seconds). , the second pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with blue symbols, and the third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with red symbols in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds).

Also, in the pseudo consecutive 3-chance effect pattern C, the first pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed by the blue pattern in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the second section (3 to 6 seconds) is executed by the red pattern. A third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed, and a third pseudo-fluctuation effect is executed with a red pattern in the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds).

Also, in the pseudo-run 2 effect pattern, two sections, the first section (0 to 3 seconds) and the second section (3 to 6 seconds), or the second section (3 to 6 seconds) and the third section In two intervals (6 seconds to 9 seconds), a 6-second pseudo-variation effect accompanied by a notice effect is executed, and in the remaining interval, a 3-second pseudo-variation effect is executed. That is, the pseudo-continuous 2 production pattern is a production pattern in which a 6-second pseudo-variation production with a notice production is continuously executed after a 3-second pseudo-variation production, and a 6-second pseudo-variation production with a notice production. and an effect pattern in which a pseudo-fluctuation effect of 3 seconds is continuously executed. Specifically, the pseudo-run 2 effect patterns are pseudo-run 2 normal effect patterns A1 to C1, pseudo-run 2 normal effect patterns A2 to C2, pseudo-run 2 chance effect patterns A1 to C1, and pseudo-run 2 chance effect pattern A2. Including ~C2.

Here, the advance notice effect is determined separately from the main effect (background effect) that is continuously executed during the period from when the decorative pattern in the variable game effect is variably displayed until it is stopped and displayed, and is determined during the main effect. It is a production performed in . This advance notice effect is an effect that indicates the degree of expectation for a big hit in the variable game, and an effect that indicates or suggests events that may occur in the future in the variable game, such as specifying or suggesting the development destination of the effect in the variable game effect. include.

The advance notice effect includes, for example, a dialogue effect, a step-up effect, a mini character effect, a cut-in effect, a voice effect, an operation button effect, a character actuation effect, and a composite effect of two or more of these effects. As a composite production, for example, step-up production with dialogue, cut-in production with dialogue, step-up production with voice, cut-in production with voice, dialogue production by operating the operation button, step-up production by operating the operation button, A cut-in effect by operation, a role actuation effect by operating an operation button, etc. can be mentioned.

In the pseudo-continuous 2 normal production patterns A1 to C1, the first pseudo-fluctuation production is executed in the first section (0 seconds to 3 seconds), and the second section (3 seconds to 6 seconds) and the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds), the second pseudo-fluctuation effect of 6 seconds accompanied by the advance notice effect is executed. Further, in the pseudo-continuous 2 normal production patterns A1 to C1, two pseudo-variation productions are executed by one or both of the blue symbol and the yellow symbol, and the pseudo-variation production by the red symbol, which is a chance-up production, is not executed. is. For example, in the pseudo-continuous 2 normal effect pattern A1, the first pseudo-fluctuation effect with a blue pattern is executed in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), and the second section (3 to 6 seconds) and the third section ( 6 seconds to 9 seconds), the second pseudo-fluctuation effect of 6 seconds by the blue pattern accompanied by the advance notice effect is executed. The first pseudo-variation production with blue symbols in the pseudo-run 2 normal production pattern A1 is executed in the same manner as the first pseudo-variation production in the above-described pseudo-run 3 normal A production pattern (see, for example, FIG. 80 (A) ). In addition, the second pseudo-fluctuation effect by the blue pattern accompanied by the notice effect in the pseudo-ren 2 normal effect pattern A1 is executed at the same time as the start of the pseudo-inciting effect by the blue symbol, for example, or after the pseudo-inciting effect is started. After the end of the advance notice performance, double numbers or losing numbers are stop-displayed according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery.

In addition, the second pseudo-fluctuation effect with a blue pattern accompanied by a notice effect in the pseudo-continuous 2 normal effect pattern A1 is performed first, after the notice effect of 3 seconds is executed, after the end of this notice effect It may be one that executes the second pseudo-fluctuation effect. That is, in the pseudo-continuous 2 normal production pattern, the first pseudo-variation production is executed in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), the advance notice production is executed in the second section (3 to 6 seconds), and the third The second pseudo-fluctuation effect may be executed in the section (3 seconds to 6 seconds). In addition, the pseudo-inciting effect in the second pseudo-fluctuation effect may be started during execution of the advance notice effect.

Here, FIG. 82 is a diagram showing an example of the second pseudo-fluctuation effect of the blue symbol accompanying the advance notice effect in the pseudo-run 2 normal effect pattern A1. As shown in FIGS. 82(A), 82(B1) and 82(B2), in the second pseudo-fluctuation effect of 6 seconds of the pseudo-continuous 2 normal effect pattern A1, the pseudo-inciting effect by the blue pattern is started and At the same time, or after the pseudo fanning performance is started, the notice performance is executed as the button operation performance. In this button operation presentation, for example, as shown in FIG. 82A, an image imitating the operation button 20 is displayed on the pattern display section 341, and the image imitating the operation button 20 is being displayed (during the button operation acceptance period). When the operation button 20 is operated by the player at the beginning, the false notice effect shown in FIG. 82(B1) or the chance notice effect shown in FIG. 82(B2) is executed. In the false notice effect shown in FIG. 82(B1), an image of "..." is displayed, and in the chance notice effect shown in FIG. 82(B2), an image of "CHANCE" is displayed.

If the operation button 20 is not operated by the player while the image simulating the operation button 20 is being displayed, the fake notice effect or the chance notice effect may not be executed, but the image simulating the operation button 20 is non-executable. When it is displayed (when the button operation reception period ends), it may be forcibly executed. Further, in the false notice effect and the chance notice effect, an image different from that shown in FIG. 82 (B1) and FIG.

Then, as shown in FIG. 80(C), the pseudo-flashing effect with the blue pattern is continued even after the button operation effect ends, and depending on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, double eyes (see FIG. 80(D1)) or A missing eye (see FIG. 80 (D2)) is stopped and displayed.

The notice effect in the pseudo-continuation 1 normal effect pattern may be the same as the notice effect in the pseudo-continuation 2 effect pattern (see FIGS. 82(A), 82(B1) and 82(B2)), but other notice effects may be used. There may be. For example, a roulette effect shown in FIG. 83 can be employed as the button operation effect. In this roulette effect, first, as shown in FIG. 83(A), selection determining elements (dark colored portions in FIG. 83(A)) for determining the selected section among the plurality of divided sections are sequentially changed, for example, clockwise. A roulette effect is executed. Images of "...?" )), and when the selection determination element stops at "CHANCE", a chance announcement effect is performed (see FIG. 83 (C2)).

In the roulette effect, as shown in FIG. 83(B), a button operation effect is executed in which an image imitating the operation button 20 is displayed in the pattern display section 341. During the display of the image imitating the operation button 20 ( When the operation button 20 is operated by the player during the button operation accepting period), the selection determining element is stopped at "...?" CHANCE" is stopped and the chance announcement effect shown in FIG. 83 (C2) is executed.

If the operation button 20 is not operated by the player while the image simulating the operation button 20 is being displayed, the fake notice effect or the chance notice effect may not be executed, but the image simulating the operation button 20 is non-executable. When it is displayed (when the button operation reception period ends), it may be forcibly executed. Further, in the false notice effect and the chance notice effect, an image different from that shown in FIG. 83 (C1) and FIG.

Returning to the description of FIG. 79, in the pseudo consecutive 1 chance production pattern, one of the first section (0 seconds to 3 seconds) and the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds) uses a red symbol that is a chance up production. A pseudo-fluctuation performance is executed, and in the remaining two sections, a notice performance or a chance background performance (a performance with a high expectation of a big win among performances executed behind the decorative numbers) is executed. The pseudo-run 1-chance effect pattern includes a pseudo-run 1-chance A effect pattern, a pseudo-run 1-chance B effect pattern, and a pseudo-run 1-chance C effect pattern.

In the pseudo-run 1 chance A effect pattern, after the pseudo-fluctuation effect with the red symbol that is the chance-up effect is executed in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), the second section (3 to 6 seconds) and the third A 6-second advance notice effect is executed in the section (6 seconds to 9 seconds). In the pseudo-run 1 chance B effect pattern, after the pseudo-fluctuation effect with the red symbol that is the chance-up effect is executed in the first section (0 to 3 seconds), the second section (3 to 6 seconds) and the third A chance background effect A for 6 seconds is executed in the section (6 seconds to 9 seconds). In the pseudo-run 1 chance C effect pattern, after the 6-second notice effect is executed in the first section (0 to 3 seconds) and the second section (3 to 6 seconds), the third section (6 to 9 second), a pseudo-fluctuation effect with a red pattern, which is a chance-up effect, is executed.

In the pseudo-continuous 0 chance production pattern, pseudo-variation production and advance notice production are not executed, and a 9s chance is spread over three sections from the first section (0 seconds to 3 seconds) to the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds). A background effect is executed. The pseudo-run 0-chance effect pattern includes a pseudo-run 0-chance A effect pattern in which the chance background effect A is executed, a pseudo-run 0-chance B effect pattern in which the chance background effect B is executed, and a pseudo-run 0-chance B effect pattern in which the chance background effect C is executed. Consecutive 0 chance C effect pattern is included. Incidentally, the chance background effect is a effect with a high expectation of a big win among the effects executed behind the decorative numbers.

The pseudo consecutive 0 effect pattern does not necessarily have to be executed as a chance effect. In addition, the pseudo-continuous 0 effect pattern has an off effect completed in each of the first section (0 seconds to 3 seconds), the second section (3 seconds to 6 seconds), and the third section (6 seconds to 9 seconds). It may be a performance pattern to be executed, or a performance pattern in which a failure performance spanning two sections and a failure performance completed in one section are executed. When a pseudo-run 0 effect pattern in which such a loss effect is executed is included, or when a pseudo-run continues due to a loss, the pseudo-run continuation of the same color pattern may be set as a chance (chance up effect). It is possible. That is, by setting the selection rate of pseudo-continuous continuation symbols of the same color to be low, the appearance rate of quasi-continuous continuation symbols of the same color can be lowered to achieve a chance-up effect.

Here, FIG. 84 is a diagram showing an example of a normal reach effect pattern type determination table with variable display time of 30 seconds when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time saving gaming state).

In the normal reach effect pattern type determination table shown in FIG. In addition to the effect patterns X1 to X5 (see FIG. 39A) in the first embodiment, effect patterns X6 to X32 are defined. Effect patterns X6 to X32 are effect patterns in which a normal ready-to-win effect is executed after execution of a pseudo-continuous effect similar to the pseudo-continuous effect determined when the variable display time is 9 seconds.

In addition, in the normal reach effect pattern type determination table shown in FIG. 84, the distribution of the normal reach effect patterns X1 to X5 is set high, and the distribution of the normal reach effect patterns X6 to X32 is set to be small. Then, when the MPU 51 determines that the variation type (effect pattern) is the normal reach effect pattern, the effect pattern type corresponding to the counter value of the effect pattern type counter is selected from the normal reach effect pattern type selection table according to the lottery result. select.

On the other hand, if there is no hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), and if the variable display time is 30 seconds in the low-frequency support mode (normal gaming state), the above-mentioned first 39(A), the normal reach effect pattern corresponding to the counter value of the effect pattern type counter is selected according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery.

That is, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), the pseudo-continuous effect is executed when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is either a jackpot or a loss. Normal reach effect patterns X6 to X32 can be selected with a low probability. In this way, since the normal ready-to-win effect patterns X6 to X32 in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed can be selected, the pseudo-continuous effect is performed not only when the variable display time is 9 seconds, but also when the normal ready-to-win effect develops. can be performed. As a result, even if the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, it can be expected to develop into a normal reach effect, so that the continuous pseudo-continuous effect will improve the progress of the game when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode. Monotonization is prevented. In addition, since the normal ready-to-reach performance patterns X6 to X32 in which the pseudo-continuous performance is executed can be selected even when the result of the jackpot lottery is a big win, the pseudo-continuous performance can be easily selected when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode. Even when it is executed, it is possible to expect that the lottery result in the big win lottery is a big win. In particular, the normal ready-to-win performance patterns X6 to X32 for executing the pseudo-continuous performance are selected with a low probability, so that the pseudo-continuous performance that is likely to be selected when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode is executed, so that the jackpot lottery is performed. A surprise jackpot game can be given to a player who believes that the lottery result of (1) is a loss, so that the amusement of the game is improved.

Super ready-to-win effect patterns Y6 to Y32 can be selected with a low probability. In this way, the super ready-to-win effect patterns Y6 to Y32 in which the pseudo-to-win effect is executed can be selected, so that the pseudo-to-win effect can be performed not only when the variable display time is 9 seconds, but also when the super ready-to-win effect develops. A rendition can be performed. As a result, even when the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, it can be expected to develop into a super ready-to-win effect. is prevented from becoming monotonic. Also, the super ready-to-win performance patterns Y6 to Y32 for executing the pseudo-continuous performance can be selected even when the result of the jackpot lottery is a big win, so that the pseudo-continuous performance is easily selected when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode. is executed, it is possible to expect that the lottery result in the big winning lottery will be a big win. In particular, the super ready-to-win performance patterns Y6 to Y32 for executing the pseudo-continuous performance are selected with a low probability, so that the pseudo-continuous performance that is likely to be selected when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode is executed, thereby executing the jackpot lottery. Since a surprise jackpot game can be given to a player who believes that the lottery result in 1 is a loss, the amusement of the game is improved.

Moreover, FIG. 87 is a figure which shows each super ready-to-win production pattern mode. As shown in FIG. 87, the super ready-to-win effect patterns Y1 to Y5 are the same as the super ready-to-win effect patterns Y1 to Y5 in the first embodiment described above, and the decoration pattern is changed at high speed until the ready-to-win pattern is achieved. This is a performance in which the decoration pattern becomes a ready-to-win state after the end of the variable performance and a normal ready-to-win performance and a super ready-to-win performance are executed as development performances, and the final individual performance type is a super ready-to-win performance (SP).

Here, FIG. 88 is a diagram showing an example of a special reach production pattern type determination table with variable display time of 90 seconds when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time saving gaming state).

In the special reach production pattern type determination table shown in FIG. 88, according to the lottery result (5R normal jackpot, 5R probability variable jackpot, 16R probability variable jackpot, and loss), as the production pattern type corresponding to the counter value of the production pattern type counter, In addition to the special effect patterns Z1 to Z5 (see FIG. 39(C)) in the first embodiment, special effect patterns Z6 to Z32 are defined. The special effect patterns Z6 to Z32 are effect patterns in which the normal ready-to-win effect, the super ready-to-win effect and the special ready-to-win effect are executed after the pseudo-continuous effect similar to the pseudo-continuous effect determined when the variable display time is 9 seconds. be.

In addition, in the special ready-to-reach effect pattern type determination table shown in FIG. 88, the distribution of the special effect patterns Z1 to Z5 is set to be high, and the distribution of the special effect patterns Z6 to Z32 is set to be small. When the MPU 51 determines that the variation type (effect pattern) is the special ready-to-win effect pattern, the MPU 51 selects the special ready-to-win effect pattern type corresponding to the counter value of the effect pattern type counter according to the lottery result. Select from a table.

On the other hand, if there is no hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), and if the variable display time is 90 seconds in the low-frequency support mode (normal gaming state), the above-mentioned first 39(C), the special reach effect pattern corresponding to the counter value of the effect pattern type counter is selected according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery. .

That is, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), the pseudo-continuous effect is executed when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is either a jackpot or a loss. Special effect patterns Z6 to Z32 can be selected with a low probability. In this way, by selecting the effect patterns Z6 to Z32 in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, the pseudo-continuous effect is performed not only when the variable display time is 9 seconds, but also when the special ready-to-win effect develops. can be performed. As a result, even if the pseudo-continuous effect is executed, it can be expected to develop into a special ready-to-win effect. is prevented from becoming monotonic. In addition, the special performance patterns Z6 to Z32 in which the pseudo-continuous performance is executed can be selected even when the result of the jackpot lottery is a big win, so that the pseudo-continuous performance can be easily selected when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode. Even when it is executed, it is possible to expect that the lottery result in the big win lottery is a big win. In particular, the special performance patterns Z6 to Z32 in which the pseudo-continuous performance is executed are selected with a low probability, so that the pseudo-continuous performance that is likely to be selected when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode is executed, so that the jackpot lottery is performed.

By the way, it is not preferable for the gaming machine to arouse the gambling spirit of the player by excessively increasing the number of paid balls. In addition, recent players tend not to want the game machine to excessively increase or decrease the number of balls paid out in a short period of time. There is a tendency to desire a gradual increase or decrease in the number of balls released.

As a method of slowing the increase and decrease of the number of balls released in the game machine, for example, setting the jackpot probability in the normal game state (low probability mode) high, setting the probability variable jackpot ratio in the probability variable game machine low (variable probability continuation rate is set low), and setting the jackpot probability in the variable probability game state (high probability mode) low. Especially these days, there is a tendency to set the jackpot probability low in the variable probability game state (high probability mode) in order to suppress a rapid increase in the number of balls released. Also, in order to suppress an excessive increase in the number of payout balls in the variable probability game state, it is conceivable to set the variation display time in the variation game relatively long (for example, 15 seconds or more). When the variable display time is set relatively long in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. Easy to set patterns. This ready-to-win effect pattern is set based on the lottery result of the big win lottery, and suggests the degree of expectation for the big win in the high-speed fluctuation effect and the ready-to-win effect. Further, during the execution of the high-speed fluctuation effect and the ready-to-win effect, the advance notice effect suggesting the degree of expectation for the big win is appropriately executed.

However, even in the probability variable gaming state (high probability mode), most of the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are out. In addition, when the lottery result of the big win lottery is a loss, a performance pattern with a low degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be set, and a performance with a low degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be set as the advance notice performance. Therefore, in the probability variable game state, performances with low expectations for big wins are likely to occur frequently, and when such performances with low expectations for big wins are executed for a relatively long variable display time, fluctuations in the variable games that are executed one after another. The tempo of the rhythm is bad, and the player is likely to feel a sense of sluggishness, and thus loses interest in the game. In particular, when the jackpot probability in the variable game state (high probability mode) is set low, the average number of games required to reach the next jackpot increases, and the average playing time required to reach the next jackpot increases. The interest in the game is further reduced.

On the other hand, it is also conceivable to set the variable display time of the variable game in the variable probability game state to a short time, for example, set the variable display time to a short variable display time of about 3 seconds, and make this short variable display time easy to select. . Thus, by facilitating the setting of the short variation display time in the variable probability gaming state, for example, as shown in FIG. Game tempo improves.

However, in the short fluctuation display of about 3 seconds, although the tempo of the fluctuation games that are executed one after another is improved, it is difficult to execute a sufficient deviation effect during that time. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to understand what the effect is intended in the effect for the short-time fluctuation display, and it is also difficult for the player to understand the degree of expectation that the lottery result of the big win lottery will be a big win. Therefore, even if the tempo of the fluctuating rhythm is prioritized and an effect that is difficult to understand is repeated, the interest in the game may decrease. In addition, if the short fluctuation display time is easily selected, the average playing time of the fluctuation game will be shortened, and as a result, an excessive increase in the number of balls paid out cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and a gradual increase or decrease in the number of balls paid out will be hindered. .

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, if there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time saving game state), it is determined that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out. As the main variation pattern (variation display time) of the variation game to be notified, 9 seconds, which is the predetermined game time, can be set. Then, when the variation pattern of 9 seconds is set, as a game effect, a pseudo-continuous 3 effect is performed in which the pseudo-variation is executed three times, which is the upper limit number (specific number of times), without executing the advance notice effect as the predetermined effect. Alternatively, a pseudo-run 2 performance or a pseudo-run 1 performance (excluding a pseudo-run 2 chance B performance) performance in which an advance notice performance is performed and the number of times of pseudo fluctuations less than the upper limit number is performed can be performed.

Thus, in this embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state and time-saving gaming state), 9 seconds is set as the main variation pattern, and in this case As the game performance, the tempo of the variable game is improved by three times of the pseudo fluctuation by executing a pseudo-continuous 3 performance in which the upper limit number of pseudo fluctuations is executed without executing the notice performance. Most of the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are losers, and when the loses continue, the pseudo-run 3 performance can be repeatedly executed. As a result, in the present embodiment, similar to conventional gaming machines in which the short fluctuation display time is likely to be selected due to the repetition of the pseudo fluctuation, the tempo of the fluctuation games that are executed one after another is improved while preventing the game performance from being delayed. it becomes possible to That is, in this embodiment, the tempo of the variable game that is executed one after another is adopted by adopting a pseudo-continuous 3 effect in which the pseudo-variation is executed three times instead of the short-time fluctuation display of about 3 seconds as the game time. can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, repetition of the predetermined variation makes it difficult for the player to recognize the discontinuity between the variation games (at the end of the variation game). Therefore, when the ready-to-win effect is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the ready-to-win effect has suddenly started. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the unexpectedness of the sudden start of the ready-to-win effect.

In addition, in this embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state), the pseudo-variation is repeated, so that the intention of the production, the expectation of the jackpot, etc. becomes easy for the player to understand. As a result, in this embodiment, the pseudo-variation in the variable game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another can be improved, and the intention of the performance and the degree of expectation for the big win can be communicated to the player. becomes easy to understand, and the decline in interest in the game is prevented. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state and time saving gaming state), 9 seconds is set as the main variation pattern, so that the variation To prevent the average playing time of a game from being shortened. Since this prevents the average playing time between jackpot games from being shortened, it is possible to sufficiently suppress an excessive increase in the number of paid balls and realize a gradual increase/decrease in the number of paid balls.

In addition, in this embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state), 9 seconds is set as the main variation pattern, and the game in this case As an effect, the notice effect is executed, and the effect of executing the pseudo-variation less than the upper limit number is executed, so that when the variable game is executed one after another, the notice effect is performed during the repetition of the pseudo-variation. executed. Here, when the pseudo-variation is repeated in the variation games that are executed one after another, excessive repetition of the pseudo-variation may make the progress of the game monotonous and reduce the interest in the game. Therefore, when the advance notice performance is executed while the variable games executed one after another are executed at a good tempo, the variable rhythm is changed. As a result, excessive repetition of pseudo fluctuations is prevented, and as a result of preventing the progress of the game from becoming monotonous, the decrease in interest in the game is suppressed.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the above-described first to fifth embodiments are possible within the applicable range.

[Seventh Embodiment]
In the sixth embodiment described above, the effect pattern is determined for each variable game, and when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), pseudo-variation for a certain period of time three times By being executed, the pseudo-variation in the variation game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the case where the tempo of the variation games that are executed one after another is improved has been described.

However, in the sixth embodiment described above, the pseudo-variation in the variable game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another can be improved. It is feared that the

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), at the start of the previously executed variable game, over the next variable game to be continuously executed An effect (for example, an advance notice effect) is executed. In this way, if there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), at the start of the previously executed variable game, the effect that spans the next variable game that is continuously executed (for example By executing the advance notice effect), a change is given to the fluctuation rhythm of the fluctuation game which is executed one after another, and the progress of the game is prevented from becoming monotonous.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 90 to 92, focusing on differences from the sixth embodiment.

Here, FIG. 90 shows an example of the procedure of effect pattern determination processing executed when the variation pattern command is received in the command determination processing of FIG. It is a flow chart showing.

[Production pattern determination process]
In the production pattern determination process of the present embodiment, the production pattern for executing the variable game is determined, and if there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high-frequency support mode, the production over the next variable game is executed. decide whether or not to

<Step S3601>
As shown in FIG. 90, in the effect pattern determination process of the present embodiment, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the high frequency support mode is a high frequency support mode in which the support by the electric accessory 315b is high and the second start port 315 is likely to be opened. (step S3601). Whether or not the high-frequency support mode is set to ON based on a command transmitted from the main controller 4 when the high-frequency support mode is started, for example, and when the high-frequency support mode is terminated The determination is made based on the flag that is set to OFF based on the command sent from the control device 4 . If the MPU 51 is in the high-frequency support mode (step S3601: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3603. to step S3602.

<Step S3602>
If it is not the high-frequency support mode (step S3601: No), that is, if it is the low-frequency support mode, the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern in the variation game in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (step S3602). , the effect pattern determination process ends.

<Step S3603>
When the high-frequency support mode is set (step S3601: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the straddle effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3603). The stride effect execution flag is a flag indicating that the stride effect is being executed, and is set to ON in step S3610 described later. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the variable game is a variable game capable of executing a straddle effect. Then, when the stride effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3603: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3611, and when the stride effect execution flag is set to OFF (step S3603: No). , the process proceeds to step S3604.

Here, FIG. 91 is a diagram showing an example of a straddle pseudo continuous effect. Specifically, the straddle effect shown in FIG. 91(A) is an example of the straddle effect when the fluctuation display time of the variable game and the next variable game is 9 seconds, and the straddle effect shown in FIG. 91(B). is the variation display time of the variation game is 9 seconds, and the variation display time of the next variation game is 30 seconds, 60 seconds or 90 seconds (variation display time when the reach production pattern is selected). For example.

As shown in FIGS. 91(A) and 91(B), the straddle production is, for example, a production of 6 seconds, the third section (6s to 9s) of the variation game, and the first 3 of the next variation game. Seconds (the first section (3s to 6s) in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern) are executed. The straddle effect is executed, for example, as an advance notice effect. The advance notice effect is the same as that of the sixth embodiment described above.

Note that the straddle effect is not limited to the effect that is executed for the time (6 seconds) corresponding to two segments of the pseudo-continuous effect, and may be the effect that is executed for the time of three or more segments of the pseudo-continuous effect. It may be an effect that is executed regardless of the time of the section.

Here, FIG. 92 is a diagram showing an example of the advance notice effect executed as the straddle effect. As shown in FIG. 92, in the present embodiment, a straddle effect is executed as a roulette effect. This roulette effect is basically the same effect as the roulette effect (see FIG. 83) executed in the pseudo-run 1 effect pattern in the sixth embodiment, but the selection determination element is "...?" It is different in that in addition to (fake notice effect) and “CHANCE” (chance notice effect), “extreme heat” and “determined” are set. These selection determining elements are effects suggesting the degree of expectation for a big win, and the degree of expectation for a big win is high in the order of “Decision”, “Extreme Heat”, “CHANCE” and “...?”.

It should be noted that during execution of the straddle effect, the variable display and stop display of the ornamental pattern are displayed on the end side of the pattern display section 341 in a visual mode that does not hinder the visual recognition of the advance notice effect as much as possible. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 92, the state of the decoration design can be visually recognized in the upper right part of the design display unit 341, and the decoration design is stopped and displayed when the variation game ends (see FIG. 92 (B)), The decoration pattern is variably displayed when the next variable game is started. In this case, the decoration pattern must be visible, but it is preferable that it is displayed in a manner that does not attract the player's attention as much as possible. It is preferable to display in a mode having In this way, the decoration pattern is displayed in such a manner that it is difficult to draw the player's attention, so that the player's attention can be drawn to the performance. In addition, since the decorative symbols are displayed in such a manner that it is difficult to attract the player's attention, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the variation game has ended, that is, the break of the variation game. These allow the player to concentrate on the straddling effect.

<Step S3604>
Returning to the description of FIG. 90, when the straddling effect execution flag is set to OFF (step S3603: No), the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern in the variable game in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment. (step S3604).

<Step S3605>
In step S3605, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the effect pattern determined in step S3604 is the pseudo-run 3 effect pattern (see FIGS. 77 to 81). When the effect pattern determined in step S3604 is the pseudo-run 3 effect pattern (step S3605: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3606. On the other hand, if the effect pattern determined in step S3604 is not the pseudo-ream 3 effect pattern (step S3605: No), the MPU 51 ends the effect pattern determination process. That is, when the effect pattern is not the pseudo-continuous 3 effect pattern, the effect is executed based on the effect pattern determined in step S3604 without executing the straddle effect.

Note that the straddle effect may be executed when an effect pattern other than the pseudo-continuous 3 effect pattern is determined.

<Step S3606>
When the effect pattern determined in step S3604 is the pseudo-ream 3 effect pattern (step S3605: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3606). Whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game can be determined by referring to a storage area for storing information contained in the first and second reservation commands transmitted from the main control device 4 set in the RAM 512, for example. be judged. And, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3606: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3607. On the other hand, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3606: No), the MPU 51 ends the effect pattern determination process. That is, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game, the straddle effect is not executed.

<Steps S3607 and S3608>
When there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3606: Yes), the MPU 51 executes a straddle production execution lottery for whether or not to execute a straddle production (step S3607). That is, the straddle effect is a effect that is executed when the pseudo-continuous 3 effect pattern is determined as the effect pattern when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, but it is always executed when such conditions are met. It is not an effect to be executed, but an arbitrary effect for which whether or not to be executed is determined by a stepping effect execution lottery. In this way, by determining whether or not the stride effect is executed by the stride effect execution lottery, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, the variable games that are executed one after another are progressed at a good tempo. , it is possible to give a change to the fluctuating rhythm by straddling production. As a result, in the progress of the game when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, the decline in interest in the game is suppressed.

Here, the probability that the stride effect is executed (the winning probability in the straddle effect execution lottery) is set within a range that can maintain the tempo of the progress of the game when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode, for example 1/5. It is set from a range of 1/20 to 1/20, and is typically set to about 1/10.

Then, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the stepping effect execution lottery for executing the stepping effect is won (step S3608). When the process proceeds to S3609 and the stepping effect execution lottery is not won (step S3607: No), the effect pattern determination process is terminated.

<Steps S3609 and S3610>
When the step-over effect execution lottery is won (step S3607: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the step-over effect as a 6-second effect starting from the third section (6s to 9s) in the pseudo-continuous 3 effect (step S3609). , the straddling effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3610), and the effect pattern determination process is terminated.

As described above, the stride effect is, for example, an advance notice effect such as a roulette effect. stored in

<Step S3611>
When the stride effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3603: Yes), the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern according to the stride effect type (step S3611), and sets the stride effect execution flag to OFF (step S3612), the effect pattern determination process ends.

Here, the effect pattern determined according to the type of the stride effect when the stride effect execution flag is set to ON is, for example, the second section (3 s to 6 s) and the third section when the variable display time is 9 s. Pseudo continuous production pattern (see FIG. 91 (A)) in which pseudo variable production is executed in (3s to 9s), ready-to-win production pattern (see FIG. 91 (B)) in which ready-to-win production is executed 3 seconds after the start of the variable game In addition, a ready-to-win effect pattern may be considered in which the ready-to-win effect is executed after the pseudo-variable effect is executed once or twice 3 seconds after the start of the variable game.

As described above, in the present embodiment, if there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), at the start of the variable game to be executed first, the next variation to be continuously executed An effect (for example, an advance notice effect) extending over the game is executed. In this way, if there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), at the start of the previously executed variable game, the effect that spans the next variable game that is continuously executed (for example By executing the advance notice effect), a change is given to the fluctuation rhythm of the fluctuation game which is executed one after another, and the progress of the game is prevented from becoming monotonous.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the above-described first to sixth embodiments are possible within the applicable range.

[Eighth embodiment]
In the sixth embodiment described above, the effect pattern is determined for each variable game, and when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), pseudo-variation for a certain period of time three times By being executed, the pseudo-variation in the variation game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the case where the tempo of the variation games that are executed one after another is improved has been explained.

However, in the sixth embodiment described above, the pseudo-variation in the variable game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another can be improved. It is feared that the Further, in the above-described sixth embodiment, since the effect pattern is determined for each variable game, when the straddle effect is determined in the previous variable game, the subsequent variation is determined according to the type of the straddle effect. It is necessary to determine the performance pattern of the game, and the subsequent determination of the performance pattern of the variable game becomes complicated.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), at the start of the previously executed variable game, the previously executed variable game and the next variable game A performance pattern to be executed in series for two times of variation games can be determined and executed. In this way, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), production patterns that are executed in series for two variable games can be determined and executed, one after another The variation rhythm of the variation game to be executed is changed to prevent the progress of the game from becoming monotonous. Further, by determining and executing the effect pattern to be executed in series for two times of the variable game, it is possible to prevent the determination of the effect pattern of the subsequent variable game from becoming complicated.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 93 to 95, focusing on differences from the sixth embodiment.

[Variation pattern setting process]
In the variation pattern setting process of the present embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variation game in the high frequency support mode, not only the variation pattern in the variation game but also the variation pattern of the next variation game is set. executed.

Here, FIG. 93 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the variation pattern setting process executed by the main controller 5 of the gaming machine 10 according to this embodiment.

<Step S3701>
As shown in FIG. 93, in the variation pattern setting process of the present embodiment, when the high-frequency support mode (step S3501: Yes), when there is a hold for the game to execute the variation game (step S3502: Yes), After setting the variation pattern in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (steps S3508 to S3512), the variation pattern for the next variation game is set (step S3701), and the variation pattern setting process ends. That is, in this embodiment, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, a variation pattern for the variation game and a variation pattern for the next variation game are set for two variation games.

In addition, when the variation pattern of the next variation game is set, the variation pattern command for the next variation game is set, and the variation pattern command for this next variation game is the variation pattern command for the variation game and the voice lamp control device 5 sent to. On the other hand, when the voice ramp control device 5 receives the variation pattern of the variation game twice, the variation game and the next variation game, as described later, on the condition that the series effect execution lottery is won, twice A series of performance patterns to be executed in series for the variable game are determined.

[Production pattern determination process]
In the effect pattern determination process of the present embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high frequency support mode, on the condition that the lottery is won, from the start of the variable game to the end of the next variable game A series of performance patterns in which a series of performances are executed by one performance pattern is determined.

<Step S3801>
As shown in FIG. 94, in the effect pattern determination process of the present embodiment, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the high frequency support mode is set in which the support by the electric accessory 315b is frequently provided and the second starting port 315 is easily opened. (step S3801). Whether or not the high-frequency support mode is set to ON based on a command transmitted from the main controller 4 when the high-frequency support mode is started, for example, and when the high-frequency support mode is terminated The determination is made based on the flag that is set to OFF based on the command sent from the control device 4 . If the MPU 51 is in the high-frequency support mode (step S3801: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3803. to step S3802.

<Step S3802>
If it is not the high-frequency support mode (step S3801: No), that is, if it is the low-frequency support mode, the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern in the variation game in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (step S3802). , the effect pattern determination process ends.

<Steps S3803 and S3804>
When it is high frequency support mode (step S3801: Yes), MPU51 judges whether the series production|presentation execution flag is set to ON (step S3803). The series effect execution flag is a flag indicating that a series of effects is being executed, and is set to ON in step S3809 to be described later. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the variable game is a variable game capable of executing a series of effects. Then, when the series effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3803: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the series effect execution flag to OFF (step S3804), and terminates the effect pattern setting process. That is, when the series effect execution flag is set to ON, the MPU 51 can determine that the variable game corresponds to the later variable game in the series effect, so the effect is executed without determining the effect pattern for the variable game. End the pattern determination process. On the other hand, MPU51 transfers a process to step S3805, when the series production|presentation execution flag is set to OFF (step S3803: No).

Here, FIG. 95 is a diagram showing an example of a series of effect patterns. The example shown in FIG. 95 is a series of performance patterns when 9 seconds is set as the variable display time of the variable game.

Specifically, in the series effect pattern shown in FIG. 95 (A), after the pseudo-variation is executed in the first section (0s-3s) and the second section (3s-6s) in the variation game, the variation game The notice effect is executed in a total of 6 seconds of the 3rd section (6s to 9s) and the first 3 seconds of the next variation game. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 95(A), the notice effect is executed across the variation game and the next variation game. Then, the ready-to-win effect is executed after the end of the advance notice effect. This series of effect patterns is the same as the effect pattern shown in FIG. 91(B) in the above-described seventh embodiment from the player's point of view.

In the series effect pattern shown in FIG. 95 (B), after the pseudo fluctuation is executed in the first section (0s-3s) in the variation game, the second section (3s-6s) and the third section (3s-6s) in the variation game 6s to 9s), the announcement effect is executed in a total of 6 seconds. Then, the ready-to-win effect is executed from the start of the next variable game after the end of the advance notice effect. That is, the advance notice effect does not necessarily need to be executed across the variation game and the next variation game.

In the series effect pattern shown in FIG. 95 (C), after the pseudo fluctuation is executed in the first section (0s to 3s) in the variation game, the second section (3s to 6s) in the variation game, the third section ( 6s to 9s), and the reach effect is executed throughout the next variation game.

During the execution of the series of effects, as in the case of the straddle effect in the above-described seventh embodiment, the variable display and stop display of the decorative patterns on the end side of the pattern display unit 341 are made to visually recognize the notice effect as much as possible. It is displayed in a visually recognizable manner that does not hinder it, preferably in a manner that does not attract the player's attention as much as possible. In this way, the decorative symbols are displayed in such a manner that it is difficult to draw the player's attention, so that the player's attention can be drawn to the series of effects. In addition, since the decorative symbols are displayed in such a manner that it is difficult to attract the player's attention, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the variation game has ended, that is, the break of the variation game. These allow the player to concentrate on a series of effects.

<Step S3805>
Returning to the description of FIG. 94, when the series effect execution flag is set to OFF (step S3803: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3805). Whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game can be determined by referring to a storage area for storing information contained in the first and second reservation commands transmitted from the main control device 4 set in the RAM 512, for example. be judged. And, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3805: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3806. On the other hand, when the right to execute the variable game is not reserved (step S3805: No), the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (step S3802), and executes the effect pattern determination process. finish. That is, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game, a series of effects are not executed.

<Step S3806>
When there is a reservation of the right to execute the variation game (step S3805: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 9 seconds (step S3806). Whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 9 seconds is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 for storing information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the variation display time in the variation game is 9 seconds (step S3806: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3807. On the other hand, when the variation display time in the variation game is not 9 seconds (step S3806: No), the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (step S3802), and determines the effect pattern. End the process. That is, when the variation display time of the variation game is not 9 seconds, a series of effects are not executed.

Incidentally, the series of effects may be determined and executed even when the variable display time of the variable game is other than 9 seconds.

<Steps S3807 and S3808>
When the variable display time in the variable game is 9 seconds (step S3806: Yes), the MPU 51 executes a series of performance execution lottery to determine whether or not to execute a series of performances (step S3807). That is, the series effect is a effect that is executed when the variable display time of the variable game is 9 seconds when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode, but it is always executed when such conditions are met. It is not an effect to be executed, but an arbitrary effect for which whether or not to be executed is determined by a series of effect execution lottery. In this way, by determining whether or not the series of effects are executed by the series of effects execution lottery, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, the variable games that are executed one after another are progressed at a good tempo. , it is possible to change the fluctuating rhythm by a series of productions. As a result, in the progress of the game when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, the decline in interest in the game is suppressed.

Here, the probability of executing a series of effects (probability of winning in a lottery for executing a series of effects) is set within a range that can maintain the tempo of the progress of the game when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, for example 1/5. It is set from a range of 1/20 to 1/20, and is typically set to about 1/10.

Then, the MPU 51 determines whether or not a series of performance item lottery for executing a series of performances has been won (step S3808). Move to S3809. On the other hand, when the series of effect execution lottery is not won (step S3808: No), the MPU 51 determines the effect pattern in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (step S3802), and terminates the effect pattern determination process.

<Steps S3809 and S3810>
When the series effect execution lottery is won (step S3808: Yes), a series effect pattern (see FIG. 95) to be executed in series from the start of the variable game to the end of the next variable game is determined (step S3809). , the series effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3810), and the effect pattern determination process ends.

Here, in the series of effect patterns, for example, the time until the ready-to-win effect is executed is set first, the effect is determined according to that time, and the ready-to-win effect corresponding to the remaining time is determined. It is conceivable to determine a performance pattern. In addition, as for the series of performance patterns, a plurality of production patterns dedicated to the series performance are prepared in advance for each variable display time, and according to the total time of the variable display time of the variable game and the variable display time of the next variable game. , may be determined from a series of dedicated effect patterns.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), at the start of the variable game to be executed first, the variable game to be executed first and the next time A performance pattern to be executed in succession for two fluctuation games can be determined and executed. In this way, when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), production patterns that are executed in series for two variable games can be determined and executed, one after another The variation rhythm of the variation game to be executed is changed to prevent the progress of the game from becoming monotonous. Further, by determining and executing the effect pattern to be executed in series for two times of the variable game, it is possible to prevent the determination of the effect pattern of the subsequent variable game from becoming complicated.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the above-described first to seventh embodiments are possible within the applicable range.

[Ninth Embodiment]
In the sixth embodiment described above, the effect pattern is determined for each variable game, and when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state or time-saving game state), pseudo-variation for a certain period of time three times By being executed, the pseudo-variation in the variation game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the case where the tempo of the variation games that are executed one after another is improved has been described.

However, in the sixth embodiment described above, the pseudo-variation in the variable game can be executed with a good sense of rhythm, and the variable game that is executed one after another can be performed at a good tempo. It is feared that it will decline.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as a variation pattern when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), one section of the pseudo-continuous production pattern of 9 seconds (execution time of pseudo-variable production) corresponds to It includes a variation pattern (3 seconds) that corresponds to 2 sections and a variation pattern (6 seconds) that corresponds to 2 sections. In this way, by including a variation pattern corresponding to one section (execution time of pseudo variation performance) or two sections of the pseudo-continuous performance pattern of 9 seconds, the rhythm of the progress of the variation game that is continuously performed is changed. is provided to prevent the progress of the game from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a variation pattern (3 seconds) corresponding to one section (execution time of pseudo-variation production) is selected as a variation pattern when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, the next variation An effect (for example, an advance notice effect) extending over the game is executed. Thus, when a variation pattern (3 seconds) corresponding to one section (execution time of a pseudo-variation effect) is selected as the variation pattern, an effect (for example, advance notice effect) that spans the next variable game is executed. Also by doing so, the rhythm of progress of the variable game that is continuously executed is varied, and the progress of the game is prevented from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the present embodiment, the variation patterns of 6 seconds and 3 seconds are less likely to be selected than the variation pattern of 9 seconds. In this way, the variation patterns of 6 seconds and 3 seconds are less likely to be selected than the variation pattern of 9 seconds, so that the average playing time required between jackpot games is extremely shortened, that is, the number of balls released is excessively increased. 6-second and 3-second variation patterns can be selected while suppressing the occurrence of a game, thereby changing the 9-second variation pattern, which tends to make the progress of the game monotonous, and suppressing the decline in the interest of the game. be.

In addition, in this embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high frequency support mode, if the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is out, the main variation pattern is 9 seconds, and the main variation pattern in this case is The production of is pseudo-ream 3 production. Therefore, a player skilled in the gaming machine can recognize a break between variable games (at the end of the variable game) by counting the number of pseudo-continuous effects, and after shifting to the high-frequency support mode It becomes possible to count the number of variable games. However, if the 3-second effect or the 6-second effect is executed while the 9-second pseudo-continuous 3-effect is repeated, it becomes difficult to recognize the gap between the variable games by counting the number of times of the pseudo-continuous effect. It is possible to generate a gap between the count number of the variable game number and the actual variable game number. This makes it difficult for the player to comprehend the start and end times of the variable game, so that when the ready-to-win performance is executed, the ready-to-win performance is recognized as suddenly started. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the unexpectedness of the sudden start of the ready-to-win effect.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 to 99, focusing on differences from the sixth embodiment.

[Variation table]
Here, FIG. 96 is a diagram showing an example of a variation table used by main controller 4 when there is a hold in the high frequency support mode. The variation table A used in the low frequency support mode and in the high frequency support mode without holding is the same as the variation table A in the sixth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 96, the variation table B used when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode is the normal jackpot variation table B used according to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery (see FIG. 96(A)). , probability variable jackpot variation table B (see FIG. 96(B)), and loss variation table B (see FIG. 96(C)). The normal jackpot variation table B is different from the normal jackpot variation table B (see FIG. 72(A)) of the sixth embodiment described above, and in addition to the variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds, the variation pattern of 6 seconds and a variation pattern of 3 seconds. The probability variable jackpot variation table B is different from the probability variable jackpot variation table B (see FIG. 72 (B)) of the sixth embodiment described above, and in addition to the variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds, the variation pattern of 6 seconds and a variation pattern of 3 seconds. The deviation fluctuation table B is different from the deviation fluctuation table B (see FIG. 72(C)) of the sixth embodiment described above. Contains second fluctuation patterns. That is, in the present embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time-saving game state) with a high opening probability of the electric accessory 315b, the variable table B used is In addition to the variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds, a variation pattern with a variation display time of 6 seconds and a variation pattern with a variation display time of 3 seconds are included, and 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variation display time.

Then, in the deviation fluctuation table B (see FIG. 96(C)), in the case of deviation reach (front-rear deviation reach and reach other than front-rear deviation), the variation display time is divided into 9 seconds, 6 seconds, and 3 seconds. However, in the case of complete deviation, only the variation patterns with variation display times of 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds are included. Here, in the failure type table (see FIG. 14(D)), the complete failure sorting is overwhelmingly more common than the failure reach sorting, and the perfect failure can be selected with a probability of about 84%. In other words, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time saving game state) with a high opening probability of the electric accessory 315b Outgoing fluctuation pattern table B (see FIG. 96 (C)) , a variation pattern with a variation display time of 9 seconds, 6 seconds, or 3 seconds can be selected with high probability. In addition, in the deviation fluctuation pattern table B (see FIG. 96 (C)) of this embodiment, the distribution of the fluctuation pattern of 9 seconds is set overwhelmingly high, and the distribution of the fluctuation patterns of 6 seconds and 3 seconds is set extremely low It is Therefore, when the right to execute a variable game is reserved in the high-frequency support mode, the 6-second and 3-second variation patterns are less likely to be selected, while the 9-second variation pattern is more likely to be selected. In this way, since the fluctuation patterns of 6 seconds and 3 seconds are difficult to select, the average game time required between jackpot games is extremely shortened, that is, the excessive increase in the number of paid balls is suppressed, and the 6 seconds and 3-second variation pattern can be selected, the 9-second variation pattern, which tends to make the progress of the game monotonous, is changed, and the decrease in interest in the game is suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main variation pattern is 9 seconds when the right to execute the variable game is reserved in the high-frequency support mode, and the main effect in this case is the pseudo consecutive 3 effect. Therefore, a player skilled in the gaming machine can recognize a break between variable games (at the end of the variable game) by counting the number of pseudo-continuous effects, and after shifting to the high-frequency support mode It becomes possible to count the number of variable games. However, if the 3-second effect or the 6-second effect is executed while the 9-second pseudo-continuous 3-effect is repeated, it becomes difficult to recognize the gap between the variable games by counting the number of times of the pseudo-continuous effect. It is possible to generate a gap between the count number of the variable game number and the actual variable game number. This makes it difficult for the player to comprehend the start and end times of the variable game, so that when the ready-to-win performance is executed, the ready-to-win performance is recognized as suddenly started. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the unexpectedness of the sudden start of the ready-to-win effect.

In the present embodiment, the case where 9 seconds, 6 seconds, and 3 seconds can be selected as the variable display time regardless of whether the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot or a loss has been described. The variation table should be set so that at least 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variation display time when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a loss.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the high-frequency support mode, that is, in both the probability variable gaming state and the time-saving gaming state, 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variable display time. The variation table may be set so that 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variation display time at least in the variable probability gaming state.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variable display time when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high frequency support mode has been described. In the case of the frequency support mode, the variation table is set so that 9 seconds, 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variation display time when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the case of the high frequency support mode. You may

In addition, in the present embodiment, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high-frequency support mode, the case where 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variable display time in addition to 9 seconds has been explained. However, at least one of 6 seconds and 3 seconds should be selected as the variable display time.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high-frequency support mode, the case where 6 seconds and 3 seconds can be selected as the variable display time in addition to 9 seconds has been explained. However, the other variable display time of 9 seconds as the variable display time does not necessarily have to be an integral multiple of the constant time required for one pseudo-variation presentation.

[Production pattern determination process]
In the effect pattern determination process of the present embodiment, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game in the high-frequency support mode, and when the notice effect is set for the variable game, this notice effect is executed. It is determined whether Further, in the effect pattern determination process of the present embodiment, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a loss and 3 seconds is set as the variable display time, the advance notice effect is executed. This makes it possible to execute the notice performance even when a variation pattern is set in which the notice performance cannot be executed in terms of variable display time. Then, when the execution time of the notice performance exceeds 3 seconds, the notice performance is continuously executed until the next variation game. That is, since the notice effect is executed straddling the variable game and the start time of the time-varying game, the rhythm of the progress of the variable game that is continuously executed is changed by the notice effect, and the progress of the game becomes monotonous. In addition, since the advance notice effect can be given significance as a look-ahead effect, the amusement of the game is improved.

Here, FIGS. 97 and 98 show the procedure of production pattern determination processing executed when a variation pattern command is received in the command determination processing of FIG. 37 in the sound ramp control device 5 of the gaming machine 10 according to this embodiment. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of .

<Step S3901>
As shown in FIG. 97, in the effect pattern determination process of the present embodiment, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the high frequency support mode is a high frequency support mode in which the electric accessory 315b is frequently supported and the second starting port 315 is easily opened. (step S3901). Whether or not the high-frequency support mode is set to ON based on a command transmitted from the main controller 4 when the high-frequency support mode is started, for example, and when the high-frequency support mode is terminated The determination is made based on the flag that is set to OFF based on the command sent from the control device 4 . If the MPU 51 is in the high-frequency support mode (step S3901: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3903. to step S3902.

<Step S3902>
If the mode is not the high-frequency support mode (step S3901: No), that is, if the mode is the low-frequency support mode, the MPU 51, according to the variable display time and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, similarly to the sixth embodiment described above. A production pattern in the variation game is determined (step S3902), and the production pattern determination process is terminated.

<Step S3903>
When the high-frequency support mode is set (step S3901: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the look-ahead stride effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3903). The look-ahead stride effect execution flag is a flag indicating that the look-ahead stride effect is being executed, and is set to ON in step S3922 of FIG. 98 to be described later. That is, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the variable game is a variable game capable of executing the look-ahead stride effect. Then, the MPU 51 moves the process to step S3923 when the look-ahead stride effect execution flag is set to ON (step S3903: Yes), and when the look-ahead stride effect execution flag is set to off (step S3903: No), the process proceeds to step S3904.

Here, FIG. 99 is a diagram showing an example of a look-ahead stride effect pattern. The example shown in FIG. 99 is a look-ahead cross effect pattern when 3 seconds is set as the variable display time of the variable game.

Specifically, in the look-ahead straddle effect pattern shown in FIG. 99(A), the loss effect is executed in the variation game (3 seconds), and the notice effect (6 seconds) is started by the start of the variation game. When the 3-second deviating performance ends, the pseudo-continuous 3 performance is executed as the next variation game. In this case, the 6-second advance notice effect started with the previous out-of-order effect is continuously executed until the end of the first section (0 to 3 seconds) of the pseudo-continuous 3 effect in the next variation game. As a result, even when the variable display time is set to 3 seconds, the advance notice effect can be executed. In addition, the notice performance is started in the losing performance, and the notice performance is executed until the next variation game, and the next variation game is executed as a pseudo consecutive 3 performance, so that the notice performance is recognized as the look-ahead performance. becomes possible.

In the first section (0 to 3 seconds) of the next variable game, the notice effect and the pseudo-variable effect are executed, but the pseudo-variable effect in the first section (0 to 3 seconds) is given to the player. It may be visible or invisible. Also, in the first section (0 to 3 seconds) of the next variable game, the pseudo-variation effect is not executed, and the pseudo-variation in the second section (3 to 6 seconds) and the third section (6 to 9 seconds) By executing the production, the pseudo consecutive 2 production may be executed in the next variation game.

In the look-ahead straddle performance pattern shown in FIG. 99(B), the deviation performance is executed in the variation game (3 seconds), and the notice performance (6 seconds) is started by the start of the variation game. When the 3-second deviation performance ends, the ready-to-win performance is executed as the next variation game. In this case, the notice effect of 6 seconds, which is started in the preceding loss effect, is continuously executed until the first 3 seconds of the ready-to-win effect in the next variation game. As a result, even when the variable display time is set to 3 seconds, the advance notice effect can be executed. In addition, the notice effect is started in the off performance, and the notice effect is executed across the next variable game, and the next variable game is executed as the ready-to-win effect, so that the notice effect can be recognized as the pre-reading effect. be possible.

In the first three seconds of the next variable game, the notice effect and the ready-to-win effect are executed, but the ready-to-win effect in the first three seconds may or may not be visible to the player. Alternatively, the ready-to-win effect may be started after the advance notice effect is finished without starting the ready-to-win effect in the first three seconds.

It should be noted that during the execution of the look-ahead stride effect, as in the case of the straddle effect in the seventh embodiment, the variable display and stop display of the decoration pattern on the end side of the pattern display unit 341 are displayed to visually recognize the notice effect. It is displayed in a visually unobtrusive manner, preferably in a manner that attracts the player's attention as little as possible. In this way, the decoration pattern is displayed in such a manner that it is difficult to draw the player's attention. In addition, since the decorative symbols are displayed in such a manner that it is difficult to attract the player's attention, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize that the variation game has ended, that is, the break of the variation game. These allow the player to concentrate on the look-ahead stride effect.

<Step S3904>
Returning to the description of FIG. 97, the MPU 51, when the look-ahead stride effect execution flag is set to OFF (step S3903: No), MPU 51 determines whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game ( step S3904). Whether or not there is a reservation of the right to execute a variable game can be determined by referring to a storage area for storing information contained in the first and second reservation commands transmitted from the main control device 4 set in the RAM 512, for example. be judged. And, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3904: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3917 of FIG. On the other hand, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3905 when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3904: No).

<Step S3905>
When there is no reservation of the right to execute the variation game (step S3904: No), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds (step S3905). Whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 that stores the information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds (step S3905: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3906, and when the variation display time in the variation game is not 3 seconds (step S3905 : No), the process proceeds to step S3911.

<Steps S3906 and S3907>
When the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds (step S3905: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not a notice effect is set for the variation game (step S3906). When the notice effect is set for the variable game (step S3906: Yes), the MPU 51 cancels the notice effect (step S3907), and shifts the process to step S3908. This prevents the execution of the advance notice effect in the 3-second variation pattern in which the advance notice effect cannot be executed. On the other hand, MPU51 transfers a process to step S3908, when the notice production|presentation is not set with respect to the said variable game (step S3906: No).

<Steps S3908 to S3910>
In step S3908, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the lottery result of the big win lottery is a big win. Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 that stores the information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot (step S3908: Yes), the MPU 51 determines the 3-second jackpot effect pattern (step S3909), and when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is not a jackpot ( Step S3908: No), that is, when the lottery result is a loss, a 3-second delay effect pattern is determined (step S3910), and the effect pattern determination process is terminated.

<Step S3911>
When the variation display time in the variation game is not 3 seconds (step S3905: No), the MPU 51 determines whether the variation display time in the variation game is 6 seconds (step S3911). Whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 6 seconds is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 that stores the information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the variation display time in the variation game is 6 seconds (step S3911: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3912. On the other hand, if the variation display time in the variation game is not 6 seconds (step S3911: No), the MPU 51, according to the variation display time and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment described above. A production pattern in the variation game is determined (step S3902), and the production pattern determination process is terminated.

<Steps S3912 and S3913>
When the variation display time in the variation game is 6 seconds (step S3911: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot (step S3912). Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 that stores the information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot (step S3912: Yes), the MPU 51 determines a 6-second jackpot effect pattern (step S3909), and terminates the effect pattern determination process. On the other hand, the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3914 when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is not a big hit (step S3912: No), that is, when the lottery result is lost.

<Steps S3914 to S3916>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is not a big hit (step S3912: Yes), that is, if the lottery result is a loss, the MPU 51 determines whether or not a notice effect is set for the variable game (step S3914 ).

MPU51, when the notice production is set to the particular fluctuation game (step S3914: Yes), sets the deviation production pattern without pseudo fluctuation (step S3915). On the other hand, the MPU 51 sets a pseudo-double-off effect pattern in which a pseudo-fluctuation of 3 seconds is executed twice (step S3916) when the notice effect is not set for the variable game (step S3914: No). .

In this way, when a 6-second variation pattern corresponding to 2 sections of the pseudo-variation performance is set, if the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is lost, the 3-second pseudo-variation is executed twice. A pseudo double-disconnected performance pattern is set, or the advance notice performance is executed without executing the pseudo variation. As a result, the pseudo variation in the variation game can be performed with a good sense of rhythm by executing the pseudo variation for a certain period of time three times. By changing the fluctuation rhythm of the variable game that is executed one after another, the progress of the game is prevented from becoming monotonous, thereby reducing the interest in the game. Suppressed.

<Steps S3917 and S3918>
When the look-ahead crossing effect is not executed in the high-frequency support mode, and there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game (step S3904: Yes), the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot as shown in FIG. (step S3917). Whether or not the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 that stores the information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot (step S3917: Yes), the MPU 51 determines a jackpot effect pattern corresponding to the variable display time (step S3918), and terminates the effect pattern determination process. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is not a big hit (step S3917: No), that is, when the lottery result is lost, the process proceeds to step S3919.

<Steps S3919 and S3920>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is not a big hit (step S3917: No), that is, if the lottery result is out, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds (step S3919). Whether or not the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds is determined, for example, based on the contents stored in the storage area of the RAM 412 that stores the information notified by the variation pattern command for the variation game. Then, when the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds (step S3919: Yes), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S3921. On the other hand, when the variable display time in the variable game is not 3 seconds (step S3919: No), the MPU 51 determines the outlier effect pattern corresponding to the variable display time (step S3920), and ends the effect pattern determination process. .

<Steps S3921 and S3922>
When the variation display time in the variation game is 3 seconds (step S3919: Yes), the MPU 51 determines whether or not a notice effect is set for the variation game (step S3921). MPU51, when the notice production is not set vis-a-vis the particular fluctuation game (step S3921: No), sets the 3 seconds off production pattern (step S3920), ends the production pattern decision processing. On the other hand, when the notice effect is set for the variable game (step S3921: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the look-ahead straddle effect flag to ON (step S3922), and ends the effect pattern determination process.

Here, when the advance notice effect is set for the variable game, by setting the look-ahead crossing effect flag to ON, the notice effect is started in the fluctuation of 3 seconds, and this notice effect is the next change. Along with being executed over the game, it can be grasped that the notice effect is being executed at the start of the next variable game (see step S3903 in FIG. 97).

As described above, in the present embodiment, as a variation pattern when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable gaming state or time-saving gaming state), one section of the pseudo-continuous production pattern of 9 seconds (execution time of the pseudo-variable production ), and a variation pattern (6 seconds) corresponding to two sections. In this way, by including a variation pattern corresponding to one section (execution time of pseudo variation performance) or two sections of the pseudo-continuous performance pattern of 9 seconds, the rhythm of the progress of the variation game that is continuously performed is changed. is provided to prevent the progress of the game from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a variation pattern (3 seconds) corresponding to one section (execution time of pseudo-variation production) is selected as a variation pattern when there is a hold in the high-frequency support mode, the next variation An effect (for example, an advance notice effect) extending over the game is executed. Thus, when a variation pattern (3 seconds) corresponding to one section (execution time of a pseudo-variation effect) is selected as the variation pattern, an effect (for example, advance notice effect) that spans the next variable game is executed. Also by doing so, the rhythm of progress of the variable game that is continuously executed is varied, and the progress of the game is prevented from becoming monotonous.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the first to eighth embodiments described above are possible within the applicable range.

[Tenth embodiment]
In the sixth embodiment described above, as the game effect, a specific effect (for example, a pseudo continuous 3 production) is executed, the tempo of the variable games that are executed one after another can be improved, and the break between the variable games (at the end of the variable game) is given to the player. A case has been described where it is possible to improve the interest in the game by making it difficult to recognize the ready-to-win effect, which suddenly starts unexpectedly.

By the way, in the island facility of the game hall, a data display is generally provided above each game machine. This data display displays various game information such as the number of big wins on the day and the number of variable games from the previous big win to the current variable game.

Here, in a game hall, a hall computer is generally installed, and game information is output as a signal from the game machine to the hall computer via an output terminal (external output terminal board) of the game machine, and based on the game information, Game conditions such as the number of big wins on the day, the number of variable games from the previous big win to the current variable game, and the total number of variable games are managed. Then, game information related to the gaming machine corresponding to the data display is transmitted from the hall computer to the data display, and the data display displays the number of big wins of the day, the number of variable games from the previous big win to the current variable game, and the like. Various game information is displayed.

In addition, every time a variable game ends, the game machine transmits a pattern confirmation signal indicating that the variable game has ended to the hall computer, and each time the hall computer receives the pattern confirmation signal, the variable game ends on the data display. Transmit a variable game end signal indicating that it has been done. On the other hand, on the data display, when the variable game end signal is received, the number of times obtained by adding 1 to the current number of variable games is displayed as the number of variable games from the previous big hit to the current variable game. That is, the current number of variable games on the data display is updated each time a variable game is completed.

In the sixth embodiment described above, as a game effect, a specific effect (for example, a pseudo continuous 3 production) is executed to repeat the predetermined variation, making it difficult for the player to recognize the gap between the variation games (at the end of the variation game), so that the ready-to-win production suddenly starts. It becomes possible to improve the interest of However, if the current number of variable games on the data display is updated each time a variable game ends, the player can play the variable game by confirming that the current number of variable games on the data display is updated. Since it can be recognized that has ended, it is possible to grasp the break between the variable games. Therefore, it is assumed that the player will pay attention to the data display device, and in that case, there is concern that the interest in the game will decrease. In addition, as a conventional game machine, a series of effects are executed across a plurality of variable games, that is, a plurality of variable games are disguised as a single variable game and the effects are executed to enhance the interest of the game. Although there is something to be improved, even in such a game machine, if a break between variable games is recognized, the intention of the performance may be lost, and the interest in the game may decrease.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the first condition is satisfied, the game information related to the game including the variable game such as the pattern confirmation signal for a plurality of variable games is signaled from the main control device of the gaming machine through the output terminal. When a second condition different from the first condition is established, one piece of game information is output as a signal from the main controller of the gaming machine through the output terminal. In this way, when the first condition is satisfied, a plurality of pieces of game information (for example, information game end information) are collectively output as a signal, and when a second condition different from the first condition is satisfied, one piece of game information is output as a signal. By outputting, for example, when the second condition is established, the number of variable games from the previous big hit on the data display is updated each time one variable game is executed in the same manner as in the conventional art. When one condition is satisfied, the number of variable games on the data display is not updated each time one variable game is executed. Therefore, when one variable game is executed, the current number of variable games displayed on the data display may or may not be updated depending on the condition to be established. This makes it possible to cause a mismatch between the current number of variable games on the data display and the actual number of variable games. As a result, when the variable game is executed continuously, it becomes difficult to grasp the breaks between the variable games from the data display. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest in the game caused by the gap between the variable games being grasped from the data display device, and various effects (for example, look-ahead effect, crossing effect, continuous effect) for multiple times of the variable game can be suppressed. can be executed.

Here, the phrase "to output a signal collectively" for a plurality of pieces of game information includes a case where a plurality of pieces of game information are signal-outputted as at least one piece of data of multiple bytes, and each piece of game information is individually converted into data, A plurality of pieces of game information are included in "output as a signal together" even when these data are signal-output by serial communication or parallel communication.

Further, when the game-related state changes, even if the first condition is not satisfied, a plurality of pieces of game information (for example, information game end information) may be collectively output as a signal. For example, when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state different from the first game state, even if the first condition is not satisfied, a plurality of game information (for example, information game end information) may be collectively output as a signal. Here, the first gaming state and the second gaming state include the gaming state in which the variable game is executed, at least the probability variable gaming state (high probability mode and high frequency support mode), the time saving gaming state (low probability mode and high frequency support mode), and normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode). In this case, the transition from the first game state to the second game state includes the transition from the probability variation gaming state to the time reduction gaming state, the transition from the probability variation gaming state to the normal gaming state, and the transition from the time reduction gaming state to the probability variation gaming state. , Transition from the time-saving game state to the normal game state, transition from the normal game state to the variable probability game state, and transition from the normal game state to the time-saving game state. Also, the first gaming state and the second gaming state may include a latent probability variable gaming state (high probability mode and low frequency support mode). That is, in the present embodiment, in the last variation game in the gaming state before transition, if there is a plurality of unoutput game information, the plurality of unoutput game information may be collectively output as a signal. . This prevents the game information in the game state before transition from being output as a signal in the game state after transition. That is, in the game state after the transition, the signal output of the game information in the different game state before the transition is prevented.

Also, when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state through a third game state different from the first game state and the second game state, the first condition is not established. In addition, a plurality of pieces of game information (for example, information game end information) may be collectively output as a signal. The third game state includes, for example, a game state in which no variation game is executed, typically a big hit game state, and also a small hit game state. Specifically, when the first game state and the second game state are game states in which a variable game is executed, and the third game state is a game state in which a variable game is not executed (for example, a jackpot game state), for example, normal When shifting from the game state (first game state) to the probability variable game state (second game state) via the jackpot game state (third game state), even if the first condition is not satisfied, a plurality of The game information (for example, information game end information) may be collectively output as a signal. In other words, the transition from the first game state to the second game state may mean the transition between the game states in which the variable game is executed, and in that case, from the first game state to the second game state. A third game state such as a jackpot game in which a variable game is not executed may intervene between transitions.

In addition, as the "output terminal" through which the game information from the main controller is signal output, there are dedicated output terminals of the main controller, main controller and other devices (e.g. sound lamp controller, front frame 11 and other frame control devices), an output terminal provided in the main control device, an output terminal provided outside the main control device, an output terminal for outputting a signal to the outside of the game machine, the main Examples include an output terminal for outputting a signal output from the control device to the outside of the main control device (for example, a sound lamp control device, a display control device).

In addition, as the game information, in addition to the information indicating that the variable game has ended like the pattern confirmation signal, the variable game ends, the variable game starts, the jackpot game starts, the jackpot The end of the game, the lottery result of the jackpot lottery, variable game time, etc. can be considered. In addition, the game information is triggered by, for example, the end of the variable game, the start of the variable game, the start of the jackpot game, and the end of the jackpot game, and is output as a signal from the main control device via the output terminal.

Further, in one example of the present embodiment, the first condition is that there is a hold at the start of variation of the variation game. In this way, the first condition is that the right to execute the variable game is reserved when the variable game starts to fluctuate, so that the reserved variable game can be executed after the variable game ends. For two variable games including the variable game, game information related to the variable game such as, for example, a pattern confirmation signal is collectively output from the main control device through the output terminal after the variable game related to the suspension is completed. becomes possible. Thus, by setting the first condition to hold the right to execute the variable game at the start of the variation of the variable game, for example, the symbol determination signal can be collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal. becomes possible.

Further, in one example of the present embodiment, the first condition is that the variable display times for a plurality of variable games are collectively set. In this way, the first condition is that the variable display time for a plurality of variable games is collectively set, so that the number of symbol determination signals collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal is reduced. , the variable display time can be set to be the same as or less than the number of a plurality of variable games collectively set. As a result, it is possible to reliably collectively output the symbol determination signal from the main control device via the output terminal.

Further, in one example of the present embodiment, the first condition is that the high-frequency support mode has a high opening probability of the electric accessory that restricts the opening and closing of the second winning opening. Here, in the high-frequency support mode, since the probability of opening the electric accessory is high, game balls are likely to enter the second winning opening, and variable games are likely to be executed continuously. Therefore, since the first condition is the high-frequency support mode, the right to execute the variable game is likely to be reserved, so it becomes easy to collectively set the variable display time for a plurality of variable games. As a result, for example, it becomes easy to collectively output the symbol determination signals of a plurality of variable games from the main control device via the output terminal.

Further, in one example of the present embodiment, the first condition is that the reservation of the right to execute the variable game includes the reservation that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot. In this way, the first condition is that the reservation of the right to execute the variable game includes the reservation that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, and the reservation of the jackpot is executed as the variable game. In this case, it becomes possible to output a plurality of symbol determination signals from the main control device via the output terminal when the variation game ends. In addition, when the big hit is held as the variable game, by outputting a plurality of pattern confirmation signals from the main control device via the output terminal at the time of the end of the variable game, the variation that is the big win To prevent a symbol determination signal for a variable game that is a big win from being output from a main control device through an output terminal after a big win game executed after the game is over. As a result, it is possible to prevent the variable number of games after the jackpot game from becoming different from the actual number of variable games. The number of games is prevented from being different from the number of games played.

Further, the first condition may be that a predetermined variation game is started (executed). As the predetermined variation game, for example, the last variation game of the preset prescribed number of times (see eleventh and twelfth embodiments described later), the last variation game in the high-frequency support mode, and the jackpot game are executed. The last variable game in the game state before the transition when the game state (probability variable game state, time saving game state, normal game state, etc.) is transferred. In this way, when the first condition is that a predetermined variable game is started (executed), the timing of collectively outputting game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals is diversified. For example, when the first condition is that a specified number of variable games are started (executed) (see eleventh and twelfth embodiments described later), a plurality of symbol confirmation signals are sent from the main control device via the output terminal. It is possible to adjust the variable game number (timing) that is collectively output as a signal by the set number of the specified number of times. As a result, at various timings, for example, a plurality of symbol determination signals can be collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal, so that the timing of collectively outputting game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals is diversified. be done.

Further, the first condition includes, for example, that the high-frequency support mode ends (the variable probability game state ends, the time saving game state ends). Specifically, as the first condition, the final in the variable game of the prescribed number of times (the number of time-saving games, the number of ST) determined for the variable game in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state, time-saving game state) Execution of a variable game, and termination of a variable game that notifies a big win in a big win lottery are mentioned.

As the specified number of times, for example, one predetermined fixed number of times (see an eleventh embodiment described later) and a number determined by lottery (see a twelfth embodiment described later) can be considered. In this way, since the specified number of times is one predetermined fixed number of times, it is possible to regularly output a fixed number of pattern confirmation signals from the main control device via the output terminal in the high frequency support mode. Become. In addition, since the prescribed number of times is determined by lottery, it is possible to output a plurality of symbol determination signals irregularly from the main control device through the output terminal in the high-frequency support mode.

Further, in one example of the present embodiment, when game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output as signals from the main control device via the output terminal, one signal is output for the collectively output game information. A game effect is determined and executed. In addition, in one example of the present embodiment, a plurality of One game effect (for example, look-ahead effect, continuous effect, straddle effect) is determined and executed for the variable game. In other words, it is possible to vary one game effect according to the type (length) of the fluctuation pattern (variation display time) when the signal is collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal, and various It becomes possible to execute a game performance.

By the way, as described above, a gradual increase or decrease in the number of balls released is desired for the gaming machine, so that the time of the probability variation gaming state is increased by suppressing the jackpot probability in the probability variation gaming state (high probability mode) By doing so, it is conceivable to moderate the increase in the number of balls paid out. However, in general, one effect is executed for each variable game, so if the probability of a big win is suppressed, the result of the lottery is less likely to be a big win, and the player is frustrated and uncomfortable because the loss effect is repeated. This may lead to a decrease in interest and interest in games.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output as signals from the main control device via the output terminal, one signal is output for the collectively output game information. One game effect is determined and executed. In this way, when game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal, one game performance is determined/output for the collectively output game information. By being executed, the number of apparent failure performances can be reduced even when the failure performance is repeated. As a result, it is possible to reduce the player's frustration and the player's discomfort caused by the repetition of the losing performance, thereby suppressing the decrease in the interest and amusement of the game. In addition, when game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals is collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal, one game performance is determined and executed for the collectively output game information. be. In this way, when game information such as a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal, one game performance is determined/output for the collectively output game information. By being executed, it becomes possible to match a variation game in which a plurality of symbol determination signals are output and a variation game in which one game effect for a plurality of variation games ends. This makes it possible to execute one game effect (straddle effect) in which a plurality of variable games are made to look like one variable game. And, for example, the first condition is that the variable display time is collectively set for a plurality of variable games, and a plurality of symbol determination signals for those variable games are collectively output from the main control device via the output terminal. By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult to grasp the gap between the variable games from the data display. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decline in the interest of the game caused by the fact that the break between the plurality of variable games is grasped from the data display device, and various effects (for example, look-ahead effect, straddle effect) can be suppressed across the plurality of variable games. , continuous production) can be executed.

In addition, the second condition includes, for example, that the first condition is not established, and in addition to this condition, the end of the variable game, the start of the variable game, the start of the jackpot game, the jackpot It is conceivable that the game is terminated.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 101 to 115, focusing on differences from other embodiments.

[Processing of main controller 4]
First, with reference to FIGS. 101 to 109, the processing of main controller 4 will be described, focusing on differences from other embodiments.

Here, FIG. 101 is a diagram showing an example of a main part of the gaming machine system according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 101, the gaming machine system according to this embodiment includes a gaming machine 10, a hall computer 102 and a data display 103. FIG.

The gaming machine 10 is provided with an external output terminal board 101 for signal-outputting game information of the gaming machine 10 to the outside. This external output terminal board 101 has, for example, a plurality of output terminal units (not shown), and each output terminal unit (not shown) is an input/output interface for data communication with the MPU 41 of the main control unit 4. It is connected to F42 by wiring (not shown) so as to be able to communicate (receive) data. Thereby, the game information of the gaming machine 10 can be output as a signal to the outside through the output terminal section (not shown) of the external output terminal board 101 . Further, each output terminal portion (not shown) is connected to the hall computer 102 on the game hall side by wiring or the like so as to be capable of data communication (transmission). As a result, the hall computer 102 can obtain the game information of the gaming machine 10 that is signal-output from each output terminal section (not shown) of the gaming machine 10 . As a result, it is possible for the game hall side to grasp the game situation, game state, and the like of each game machine 10 .

The data display 103 displays, for example, the game status of the gaming machine 10, and is provided, for example, above each gaming machine 10 in the island facility of the gaming hall. The data display device 103 is connected to the hall computer 102 by wiring or the like so as to be capable of data communication (receiving). It is possible to display the situation and game state.

Here, the game information signal output from the game machine 10 to the hall computer 102 and the game information signal output from the hall computer 102 to the data display device 103 include, for example, the number of jackpots for the current day and the past few days, the current day and the past The total number of variable games for several days, the number of variable games between the big wins for the current day and the past several days, the number of variable games from the previous big win to the current variable game, the game state of the gaming machine 10 (normal game state, Probability variation gaming state and time saving gaming state) can be specified information and the like.

Here, FIG. 102 is a diagram showing an example of the variation table used by main controller 4. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 102(A) to 102(C), three variation tables C (normal For jackpots, for probability variable jackpots, for misses), and as shown in FIG. The variation table C shown in FIGS. 102(A) to 102(C) is the same as the variation table (see FIG. 15) used by the main controller 4 in the first embodiment described above, so description thereof is omitted. do.

On the other hand, the variation table D used by the main controller 4 in the high-frequency support mode shown in FIG. , 16R probability variable jackpot and loss) are set similarly.

In addition, in the variation table D, the variation pattern is set regardless of the lottery result in the jackpot lottery, but as in the variation table C (see FIGS. 102(A) to 102(C)), the lottery result A variation pattern may be set correspondingly.

In the variation table D shown in FIG. 102(D), one of the variation patterns 09 to 12 is selected according to the value of the variation type counter CS1. The variation pattern 09 is a variation pattern selected when the value of the variation type counter CS1 is 0 to 79, and the variation display time is 5 seconds. A variation pattern 10 is a variation pattern selected when the value of the variation type counter CS1 is 80 to 139, and the variation display time is 10 seconds. A variation pattern 11 is a variation pattern selected when the value of the variation type counter CS1 is 140 to 189, and the variation display time is 15 seconds. A variation pattern 12 is a variation pattern selected when the value of the variation type counter CS1 is 190 to 199, and the variation display time is 20 seconds. That is, the variation pattern 09 (5 seconds), the variation pattern 10 (10 seconds), the variation pattern 11 (15 seconds), and the variation pattern 12 (20 seconds) are likely to be selected in this order, and in the high-frequency support mode, the variation display time is short. Time is easier to choose. In this way, in the high-frequency support mode, the short variation display time is more likely to be selected, so that the average variation display time in each variation game is shortened. Therefore, as will be described later, the sense of sluggishness in performance when executing one performance in a plurality of variable games is suppressed, and the decrease in interest in the game due to the sense of sluggishness is suppressed.

[Variation game control process]
The variation game control process of this embodiment is basically the same as the variation game control process (see FIG. 24) of the above-described first embodiment, but the procedure of the variation start process is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment. It is different from the variation game control process (see FIG. 24). Also, in the variable game control process of the present embodiment, in the variable stop process (see FIG. 103), a plurality of symbol confirmation signals for a plurality of variable games (a signal indicating that a special symbol has been stopped and displayed) are collectively signaled. It differs from the variable game control process (see FIG. 24) of the first embodiment described above in that it may be output.

[Variation start processing]
Variation start processing of the present embodiment includes variation display time setting processing for setting the variation display time of the special symbol in the variation game, and variation pattern for notifying the variation display time of the special symbol in the variation game to the voice lamp control device 5 The procedure of the variation pattern command setting process for setting the command is different from the variation game control process (see FIG. 24) of the above-described first embodiment.

Here, FIG. 104 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation start processing of this embodiment. An example of the procedure of the change start process according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. 104 .

<Steps S4101 and S4102>
As shown in FIG. 104, in the variation start process of the present embodiment, when the validity determination is performed (steps S1601 to S1603), the MPU 41 executes the variation display time setting process and the variation pattern command setting process (step S4101 and S4102), the variable display of the special symbol is started (step S1606), and the variable start processing is terminated. Details of the variable display time setting process and the variable pattern command setting process will be described later.

[Variable display time setting process]
In the variable display time setting process of the present embodiment, the result of the jackpot lottery based on the entry of the game ball 99 into the second winning hole 315 is notified by the stop display symbol of the second special figure. When there is a hold, the change display time for the variable game and the hold are collectively set. Here, FIGS. 105 to 107 are flow charts showing an example of the procedure of the variable display time setting process of this embodiment. The procedure of the variable display time setting process of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 105 to 107. FIG.

<Steps S4201 to S4206>
As shown in FIG. 105, in the variable display time setting process of this embodiment, when the MPU 41 is not in the high-frequency support mode (step S4201: No), that is, in the low-frequency support mode, the above-described first implementation The variation display time for the variation game is set in the same manner as the form (steps S4202 to S4206). Specifically, when the lottery result is a normal jackpot (step S4202: Yes), the MPU 41 is based on the normal jackpot fluctuation table C (see FIG. 102(A)) to display fluctuation according to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS1. Set the time (step S4203), when the lottery result is a probability variation jackpot (step S4204: Yes), based on the probability variation jackpot variation table C (see FIG. 102 (B)) Variation according to the value of the variation type counter CS1 Set the display time (step S4205), and if the lottery result is out (both steps S4202 and S4204 are No), the value of the variation type counter CS1 based on the variation table C (see FIG. 102 (C)) A variable display time is set (step S4206).

On the other hand, if it is the high frequency support mode (step S4201: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4209.

<Steps S4207 and S4208>
When the setting of the variation display time for the variation game is completed according to the jackpot lottery result (steps S4202 to S4206), the MPU 41 sets 1 as the variation pattern setting number (step S4207).

The variable pattern setting number indicates the number of variable games for which the variable display time is set in the high frequency support mode, and when the variable pattern set number is 1, only the variable display time of the variable game is set. indicates that In addition, the maximum number of variation patterns to be set is 4, and in the case of 2 to 4, it indicates that the variation display time for a plurality of variation games is collectively set. The set number of fluctuation patterns is the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output when the pattern confirmation signal is output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 (see step S4406) in the fluctuation stop processing in the high-frequency support mode in FIG. 109, which will be described later. is referred to by the MPU 41 to determine That is, the set number of variation patterns corresponds to the number of symbol determination signals output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 . Therefore, when the variation pattern setting number is 1, only the symbol determination signal for the variation game is output to the outside of the gaming machine 10, and when the variation pattern setting number is 2 to 4, the symbol determination signal for a plurality of variation games. are collectively output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 .

Then, the MPU 41 sets the variable display time setting flag to ON (step S4208), and terminates the variable display time setting process. The fluctuation display time setting flag is a flag indicating that the fluctuation display time has been set in the fluctuation game, and in step S4301 of the fluctuation pattern command setting process in FIG. It is referred to by the MPU 41 when making a decision.

<Step S4209>
When the high-frequency support mode is set (step S4201: Yes), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 0 (step S4209). MPU41, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 0 (step S4209: Yes), moves the process to step S4210 in FIG. 106, and sets the variation display time for one or more variation games. On the other hand, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is not 0 (step S4209: No), the MPU 41 ends the variation display time setting process without setting the variation display time for the variation game.

Here, the value of the variable pattern setting number counter indicates the number of variable games in which the second special symbol is undetermined (unstopped display) in the variable display time set in the high frequency support mode. When the variable display time is set in steps S4212, S4219, S4224, and S4227 of the variable display time setting process described later, it is set to a value corresponding to the number of variable pattern settings (steps S4210, S4216, S4221, and S4226). In addition, the variation pattern setting number counter is not set in the low frequency support mode, and its value remains 0. Then, the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is subtracted by 1 (step S1404) when the second special symbol is confirmed (stopped display) in the variation stop processing in the high frequency support mode of FIG. 109 described later (step S1404). step S4403). That is, when the value of the variable pattern setting number counter is not 0, it indicates that there is a variable game in which the second special symbol is undetermined (unstopped display) in the variable game in which the variable display time is set. Therefore, if the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is not 0 (1 to 3) in the variation start process in the high frequency support mode (step S4209: No), at least the variation display time for the variation game has already been determined. Since it can be determined that the variable display time is set, the variable display time setting process is terminated without setting the variable display time for the variable game. On the other hand, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 0 in the variation start processing in the high frequency support mode (step S4209: Yes), it can be determined that there is no variation game in which the variation display time has already been set. , In the subsequent steps, the variable display time is set based on the number of reservations for the second special symbol and the result of the jackpot lottery.

<Steps S4210 and S4211>
When the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 0 (step S4209: Yes), as shown in FIG. 106, the variation game based on the variation table D for the high frequency support mode (see FIG. (step S4210), and determines whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is a jackpot. When the result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is a jackpot (step S4210: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4212, and when the result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is not a jackpot (step S4211: No), That is, when the result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is out, the process proceeds to step S4214.

<Steps S4212 and S4213>
When the result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is a jackpot (step S4211: Yes), the MPU 41 sets 1 as the value of the variation pattern setting number counter and the variation pattern setting number (steps S4212 and S4213), and the variation display time is set to ON (step S4208 in FIG. 105), and the variable display time setting process ends.

Here, as described later, if there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure in the high frequency support mode (when the number of reservations M is 1 to 3), in addition to the variable game A variable display time for the variable game can be set. On the other hand, when the lottery result for the variation game is a big hit, 1 is set as the value of the variation pattern setting number counter and the variation pattern setting number without judging whether or not there is a hold. As a result, when the lottery result for the variation game is a big hit, the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is reduced by 1 in the variation stop processing of FIG. 109 to be described later. Also, a pattern determination signal is output at the end of the variation game. That is, when the result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is a jackpot, the pattern confirmation signal is forcibly output at the end of the variation game even if there is a hold for the second special symbol. In this way, when the result of the jackpot lottery for the variation game is a jackpot, the pattern confirmation signal is forcibly output at the end of the variation game even if there is a hold for the second special symbol, so that the jackpot Since the symbol determination signal is output for the variable game that notifies the jackpot, the symbol determination signal for the variable game that is the jackpot may be output after the jackpot game that is executed after the end of the variation game that reports the jackpot. prevented. As a result, the number of variable games after the big win game is prevented from becoming different from the actual number of variable games. It is prevented from becoming different from the variable number of games.

<Steps S4214 and S4215>
If the result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is not a jackpot (step S4211: No), that is, if the result of the jackpot lottery for the variable game is lost, the MPU 41 enters the game ball 99 into the second winning port 315. Acquire the reserved number M of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure based on (step S4214), and determine whether the reserved number M is 1 or more, that is, the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure It is determined whether or not there is a hold (step S4215).

MPU41, when the number M of reservations is 1 or more, that is, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure (step S4215: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4216 of FIG. On the other hand, MPU41, if the reservation number M is not 1 or more, that is, if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variation game by the second special figure (step S4215: No), the value of the variation pattern setting number counter and the variation pattern setting number is set to 1 (steps S4212 and S4213), the variable display time setting flag indicating that the variable display time has been set is set to ON (step S4208 in FIG. 105), and the variable display time setting process ends.

<Step S4216>
When the number M of reservations is 1 or more, that is, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure (step S4215: Yes), as shown in FIG. As a variable game time (see FIG. 13)) in which win/fail information is stored in the first reservation area REB1 of the second reservation storage area REB in the reservation storage area 412b, the variation set in step S4210 of FIG. The same time as the variable display time set for the game is set (step S4216). That is, the variable game time for the hold 1 variable game in the high-frequency support mode is based on the variable display time set for the variable game without referring to the variable table D (see FIG. 102(D)). It is determined.

In addition, the variable game time for the pending 1 variable game in the high frequency support mode may be set to a time different from the variable display time set for the variable game. For example, the variation table for the variation game and the variation table for the suspension 1 variation game may be set as different ones, or the variation game time for the suspension 1 variation game is different from the variation display time for the variation game Main processing may be set in the fluctuation start process in .

<Step S4217>
In step S4217, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the lottery result of the big hit lottery for the holding 1 variation game is a big hit. If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the holding 1 variable game is a jackpot (step S4217: Yes), the MPU 41 moves the process to step S4219, and if the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the holding 1 variable game is not a big hit ( Step S4217: No), that is, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the holding 1 variation game is out, the process proceeds to step S4218.

<Step S4218>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the hold 1 variable game is not a big hit (step S4217: No), that is, if it is out, the MPU 41 determines whether the number of holds M acquired in step S4214 of FIG. 106 is 2 or more is determined (step S4218). When the number M of reservations is 2 or more (step S4218: Yes), that is, when the number M of reservations is 2 or 3, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4221. On the other hand, when the number M of reservations is not 2 or more (step S4218: No), that is, when the number M of reservations is 1, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4219.

<Steps S4219 and S4220>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the pending 1 variation game is a big hit (step S4217: Yes), or if the pending number M is not 2 or more (step S4218: No), that is, if the pending number M is 1, variation 2 is set as the value of the pattern setting number counter and the number of fluctuation pattern settings (steps S4219 and S4220), and the fluctuation display time setting flag indicating that the fluctuation display time has been set is set to ON (step S4208 in FIG. 105) , the variable display time setting process ends.

That is, when the reservation number M of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure in the high frequency support mode is 1, if the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is out, the variable game And the variation display times of the two variation games of the holding 1 variation game are collectively set at the same time, and the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is set to 2. Here, the value of the fluctuation pattern setting number counter is decremented by one in the fluctuation stop processing of FIG. 109, which will be described later. Therefore, when the suspension 1 variation game is executed as the variation game, the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 1, so the suspension 1 variation game is the variation game when the variation of the second special figure is started. Even if there is, the setting of the variable display time of the pending 1 variable game is prevented. Thereby, it is prevented that the variable display time is set redundantly for the holding 1 variable game.

In addition, when the reserved number M of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure in the high frequency support mode is 1 or more (1 to 3), the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is out, When the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the holding 1 variation game is a jackpot, the value of the variation pattern set number counter is set to 2. As a result, for the same reason as when the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, even if the number of holds M for the second special figure is 2 or more, the compulsory at the end of the hold 1 variable game that informs the big win Since the symbol determination signal is output at the same time, when the holding 1 variation game is executed as the variation game, the symbol determination signal is output at the end of the variation game. Therefore, when a holding 1 variation game for informing a big win is executed as the variation game, output of a symbol determination signal for the holding 1 variation game is prevented after the end of the big winning game to be executed thereafter. As a result, the number of variable games after the big win game is prevented from becoming different from the actual number of variable games. It is prevented from becoming different from the variable number of games.

<Step S4221>
MPU41, when the number of reservations M is 2 or more (step S4218: Yes), that is, when the number of reservations M is 2 or 3, the MPU41, the second reservation storage in the reservation storage area 412b of the RAM41 Variable display time set for the variable game set in step S4210 of FIG. is set to the same time (step S4221). That is, the variable game time for the pending 2 variable game in the high-frequency support mode is similar to the variable playing time for the pending 2 variable game without referring to the variation table D (see FIG. 102 (D)), the variable game determined based on the variable display time set for

In addition, the variable game time for the hold 2 variable game in the high frequency support mode may be set to a time different from the variable display time set for the variable game. For example, the variation table for the variation game and the variation table for the suspension 2 variation game may be set as different ones, or the variation game time for the suspension 2 variation game is different from the variation display time for the variation game Main processing may be set in the fluctuation start process in .

<Step S4222>
In step S4222, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the lottery result of the big hit lottery for the hold 2 variation game is a big hit. If the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the pending 2 variation game is a big hit (step S4222: Yes), the MPU 41 moves the process to step S4224, and if the lottery result of the jackpot lottery for the pending 2 variable game is not a big hit ( Step S4222: No), that is, when the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the hold 2 variation game is out, the process proceeds to step S4223.

<Step S4223>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the hold 2 variation game is not a big hit (step S4217: No), that is, if it is out, the MPU 41 determines whether the number of holds M obtained in step S4214 of FIG. 106 is 3. It judges (step S4223). MPU41 transfers a process to step S4226, when the number M of reservations is 3 (step S4223: Yes). On the other hand, when the number M of reservations is not 3 (step S4223: No), that is, when the number M of reservations is 2, the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4224.

<Steps S4224 and S4225>
If the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the pending 2 variation game is a big hit (step S4222: Yes), or if the pending number M is not 3 (step S4223: No), that is, if the pending number M is 2, the variation pattern 3 is set as the value of the set number counter and the number of set fluctuation patterns (steps S4224 and S4225), and the fluctuation display time setting flag indicating that the fluctuation display time has been set is turned on (step S4208 in FIG. 105), The variable display time setting process ends.

That is, when the reservation number M of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure in the high frequency support mode is 2, if the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game is out, the variable game , The variation display times of the three variation games of the hold 1 variation game and the hold 2 variation game are collectively set at the same time, and the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is set to 3. Here, the value of the fluctuation pattern setting number counter is decremented by 1 in the fluctuation stop processing of FIG. 109, which will be described later. Therefore, when the holding 1 variation game is executed as the variation game, the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 2, and when the holding 2 variation game is executed as the variation game, the value of the variation pattern setting number counter is 1, even if the variation of the 2nd special figure is started for the suspension 1 variation game and the suspension 2 variation game as the variation game, the variation display time of the suspension 1 variation game and the suspension 2 variation game is set. is prevented. Thereby, it is prevented that the variable display time is set redundantly for the pending 1 variable game and the pending 2 variable game.

Also, in the high-frequency support mode, when the number of reservations M of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure is 2 or more (2 or 3), the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the variable game and the reserved 1 variable game is out, and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery for the holding 2 variation game is a jackpot, the value of the variation pattern set number counter is set to 3. As a result, for the same reason as in the case where the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, even if the number M of reservations for the second special figure is 3, at the end of the hold 2 variable game that informs the big win Since the pattern determination signal is output at , when the hold 2 variation game is executed as the variation game, the pattern determination signal is output at the end of the variation game. Therefore, when a holding 2 variation game for notifying a big win is executed as the variation game, output of a pattern determination signal for the holding 2 variation game is prevented after the completion of the big winning game to be executed thereafter. As a result, the number of variable games after the big win game is prevented from being different from the actual number of variable games. It is prevented from becoming different from the variable number of games.

<Step S4226>
When the number of reservations M is 3 (step S4223: Yes), the MPU 41 performs a reservation 3 variation game (variation in which the success/failure information is stored in the third reservation area REB3 of the second reservation storage area REB in the reservation storage area 412b of the RAM 41 As the variable game time for the game (see FIG. 13), the same time as the variable display time set for the variable game set in step S4210 of FIG. 106 is set (step S4226). That is, the variable game time for the hold 3 variable game in the high frequency support mode is the same as the variable game time for the hold 1 variable game and the hold 2 variable game without referring to the variation table D (see FIG. 102 (D)). Second, it is determined based on the variable display time set for the variable game.

In addition, the variable game time for the suspension 3 variable game in the high frequency support mode may be set to a time different from the variable display time set for the variable game. For example, the variable table for the variable game and the variable table for the pending 3 variable game may be set as different ones, or the variable game time for the pending 3 variable game is different from the variable display time for the variable game. may be set in the fluctuation start process in .

<Steps S4227 and S4228>
MPU 41, when setting the variable display time of the pending 3 variable game, sets 4 as the value of the variable pattern setting number counter and the variable pattern setting number (steps S4227 and S4228), indicating that the variable display time has been set. The variable display time setting flag is set to ON (step S4208 in FIG. 105), and the variable display time setting process ends.

[Variation pattern command setting process]
In the variation pattern command setting process of the present embodiment, in addition to the variation display time for the variation game, the result of the jackpot lottery based on the entry of the game ball 99 into the second winning opening 315 is the stop display symbol of the second special symbol. When the variable display time is set for the reservation of the right to execute the variable game notified by (when the variable display time is set collectively for a plurality of variable games), the variable pattern command for each variable game is summarized is set. Here, FIG. 108 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the variation pattern command setting process of this embodiment. The procedure of the variable display time setting process of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. 108 .

<Step S4301>
As shown in FIG. 108, in the variation pattern command setting process of the present embodiment, as step S4301, whether or not the variation display time setting flag indicating that the variation display time has been set in the variation game is set to ON. to judge. That is, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the variation game is a variation game for setting the variation pattern command based on the variation display time setting flag. If the variable display time setting flag is set to ON (step S4301: Yes), the MPU 41 proceeds to step S4302, and if the variable display time setting flag is set to OFF (step S4301: No). , the variation pattern command setting process ends.

<Steps S4302 to S4304>
When the fluctuation display time setting flag is set to ON (step S4301: Yes), the MPU 41 acquires the fluctuation display time and winning/failure information of the fluctuation game (steps S4302 and S4303), and outputs a fluctuation pattern command for the fluctuation game is set (step S4304).

<Steps S4305 to S4308>
In step S4305, the MPU 41 acquires the number of fluctuation pattern settings set in the fluctuation display time setting process of FIGS. A command is set (step S4306). Moreover, MPU41 judges whether the number of variation pattern setting is 1 (step S4307). When the variation pattern setting number is 1 (step S4307: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the variation display time setting flag to OFF (step S4308), and terminates the variation pattern command setting process. On the other hand, MPU41, if the number of variation pattern setting is not 1 (step S4307: No), that is, if the number of variation pattern setting is 2 to 4, the process proceeds to step S4309.

<Step S4309>
If the variation pattern setting number is not 1 (step S4307: No), that is, if the variation pattern setting number is 2 to 4, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the variation pattern setting number is 2 (step S4309). MPU41, if the number of variation pattern settings is 2 (step S4309: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4310, if the number of variation pattern settings is not 2 (step S4309: No), that is, the number of variation pattern settings is 3 or If it is 4, the process proceeds to step S4313.

<Steps S4310 to S4312>
When the variation pattern setting number is 2 (step S4309: Yes), the MPU 41 acquires the variation display time and winning information of the hold 1 variation game (steps S4310 and S4311), and sets the variation pattern command for the hold 1 variation game (step S4312). And, when the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern command for the pending 1 variation game (step S4312), it sets the variation display time setting flag to OFF (step S4308), and terminates the variation pattern command setting process.

<Step S4313>
When the variation pattern setting number is not 2 (step S4309: No), that is, when the variation pattern setting number is 3 or 4, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the variation pattern setting number is 3 (step S4313). MPU41, if the number of variation pattern settings is 3 (step S4313: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4314, if the number of variation pattern settings is not 3 (step S4313: No), that is, the number of variation pattern settings is 4 If so, the process proceeds to step S4317.

<Steps S4314 to S4316>
When the variation pattern setting number is 3 (step S4313: Yes), the MPU 41 acquires the variation display time and winning information of the hold 2 variation game (steps S4314 and S4315), and sets the variation pattern command for the hold 2 variation game (step S4316). And, when the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern command for the hold 2 variation game (step S4316), it sets the variation display time setting flag to OFF (step S4308), and terminates the variation pattern command setting process.

<Step S4317>
When the variation pattern setting number is not 3 (step S4313: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the variation pattern setting number is 4 (step S4317). If the number of fluctuation pattern settings is 4 (step S4317: Yes), the MPU 41 moves the process to step S4318, and if the number of fluctuation pattern settings is not 4 (step S4313: No), turns off the fluctuation display time setting flag. It sets (step S4308), and ends the variation pattern command setting process.

<Steps S4318 to S4320>
When the variation pattern setting number is 4 (step S4317: Yes), the MPU 41 acquires the variation display time and winning information of the hold 3 variation game (steps S4318 and S4319), and sets the variation pattern command for the hold 3 variation game (step S4320). And, when the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern command for the pending 3 variation game (step S4320), it sets the variation display time setting flag to OFF (step S4308), and terminates the variation pattern command setting process.

In the variation pattern command setting process of the present embodiment, the number of variation pattern commands corresponding to the number of variation pattern settings set in the above-described variation display time setting process is set. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable display time is collectively set for a plurality of variable games, the information regarding the lottery result and the variable game time in the jackpot lottery is displayed individually for those variable games. A variation pattern command is set, including: Then, the variation pattern command including a plurality of information regarding each variation game is output as a signal from the main controller 4 (MPU 41) to the sound lamp controller 5 in the external output process of step S1301 in the main process of FIG. That is, when the fluctuation display time is collectively set for a plurality of fluctuation games, a plurality of individual fluctuation pattern commands for those fluctuation games are collectively sent from the main control unit 4 (MPU 41) to the voice lamp control device 5. A signal is output. Therefore, in the voice ramp control device 5, when the fluctuation display time is collectively set for a plurality of fluctuation games, it is possible to collectively receive the fluctuation pattern commands of those fluctuation games, and the fluctuation for each fluctuation game It is possible to individually judge the display time and the lottery result in the jackpot lottery. As a result, it becomes possible to execute an effect based on one effect pattern for a plurality of variable games for which the change patterns are collectively transmitted. That is, it becomes possible to execute a series of one effect for a plurality of variable games.

A plurality of variation pattern commands are signal-output as one data of multiple bytes. Further, the plurality of variation pattern commands may be signal-output from the main control unit 4 (MPU 41) to the sound lamp control device 5 as individual data through serial communication or parallel communication.

[Variation stop processing]
In the variation stop processing of this embodiment, when the variation display time for the variation game has elapsed, the processing of stopping and displaying the special symbol and outputting the symbol confirmation signal to the outside of the gaming machine 10 is executed. Here, FIG. 109 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation stopping process of this embodiment. The procedure of the variable display processing of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

<Steps S4401 and S4402>
As shown in FIG. 109, in the variation stop processing of this embodiment, the MPU 41 stops and displays the special symbols when the variation display time for the variation game has elapsed, as in the first embodiment. The variable display flag is set to OFF (steps S1403 to S1405). Then, the MPU 41 determines whether or not it is the high-frequency support mode (step S4401). When the MPU 41 is in the high frequency support mode (step S4401: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4403. On the other hand, when the MPU 41 is not in the high-frequency support mode (step S4401: No), i.e., in the low-frequency support mode, the symbol determination signal for the variation game is output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 (step S4402), and the variation End the stop processing.

<Step S4403 and Step S4404>
If the high-frequency support mode (step S4401: Yes), MPU41 is a variation pattern indicating the number of undetermined (unstopped display) of the variable game for the second special figure in which the variable display time is set 1 is subtracted from the value of the set number counter (step S4403), and it is determined whether or not the value of the variation pattern set number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S4404). MPU41 shifts a process to step S4405, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is 0 (step S4404: Yes). On the other hand, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4404: No), the MPU 41 ends the variation stop processing. That is, if the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4404: Yes), the variation game of undetermined (unstopped display) among the variation games for the second special figure in which the variation display time is set exists, the output of the symbol determination signal due to the end of the variation game is not executed.

<Steps S4405 to S4407>
When the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S4404: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the variation pattern setting number indicating the number of variation games for which the variation display time is set in the variation display time setting process described above. is obtained (step S4405), and the number of symbol determination signals corresponding to the number of variation pattern settings is output from the main controller 4 to the outside of the gaming machine 10 via the external connection terminal board 101 (step S4406). That is, the MPU 41 outputs a number of symbol determination signals corresponding to the set number of variation patterns from the main control device 4 to the outside of the gaming machine 10 via the external connection terminal plate 101 when the variation game ends. Then, the MPU 41 clears the set number of fluctuation patterns (step S4407), and terminates the fluctuation stop processing.

Here, in the gaming system of the present embodiment, as described above, the external connection terminal board 101 of the gaming machine 10 is connected to the hall computer 102 installed on the gaming hall side so that data can be transmitted. 103 so that data can be transmitted (see FIG. 101). Therefore, a symbol determination signal corresponding to one piece of game information is transmitted to the hall computer 102 . Therefore, when the number of symbol confirmation signals corresponding to the number of variation pattern settings is output to the outside of the gaming machine 10, the hole computer 102 receives the number of symbol confirmation signals corresponding to the number of variation pattern settings. Then, the hall computer 102 that has received the number of pattern confirmation signals corresponding to the number of variation pattern settings transmits the number of received pattern confirmation signals to the data display device 103 . In addition, the data display 103 that receives the number of pattern confirmation signals updates the number of fluctuation games from the previous big win to the present displayed on the data display 103 to the number of times that the number of received pattern confirmation signals is added. do. In this case, for example, when the number of received symbol determination signals is 1, the number of variable games from the previous big win to the present displayed on the data display 103 is updated to the number of times incremented by one. In addition, when the number of received pattern confirmation signals is 2, the number of fluctuation games from the previous big hit to the present is the number of times obtained by adding 2, and when the number of received pattern confirmation signals is 3, the previous When the number of received pattern confirmation signals is 4 to the number of variable game times from the big hit to the present plus 3, the number of variable game times from the previous big win to the present plus 4 is displayed as data. The number of variable games displayed on the device 103 from the previous big win to the present time is updated. That is, the number of variable games displayed on the data display 103 from the previous big win to the present is not necessarily updated for each variable game in the high-frequency support mode, and when the number of variable pattern settings is plural. When a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output to , it is updated after execution of a plurality of variation games. Therefore, in the high frequency support mode, it is possible to cause a mismatch between the current number of variable games on the data display 103 and the actual number of variable games. Thereby, when the variable game is continuously executed in the high-frequency support mode, it becomes difficult to grasp the break between the variable games from the data display 103 . As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game caused by the fact that the gap between the variable games is grasped from the data display when the variable games are continuously executed in the high-frequency support mode, and the game can be played more than once. It becomes possible to execute various look-ahead performances (straddle performances) across variable games. For example, when a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) that makes a plurality of variable games look like one variable game is executed, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to grasp that it is a straddle effect, so that A decrease in interest can be suppressed.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a plurality of pattern confirmation signals for a plurality of variable games are output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 in the high-frequency support mode (probability variation gaming state and time gaming state), but only in the probability variation gaming state It is conceivable to output a plurality of symbol confirmation signals for variable games to the outside of the gaming machine 10, and to output a plurality of symbol confirmation signals for a plurality of variation games to the outside of the gaming machine 10 only in the time-saving gaming state. Conceivable. Of course, a plurality of symbol confirmation signals may be output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 in the normal gaming state. may be output to the outside of the

Further, in the present embodiment, when the number of variable games for which the variable display time is set in the variable display time setting process is completed, a plurality of symbol determination signals are output, but the variable display time is set. When the variation game includes a game in which the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, even if the pattern confirmation signal is output after the jackpot variation game is completed (when shifting to the jackpot game state). good. In addition, after the end of any of the variable games in which the variable display time is set, the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state, short-time game state) to the normal game state (low-probability mode and low-frequency support mode) When transitioning, The pattern confirmation signal may be output after the end of the final variation game in the game state (high frequency support) before transition. In these cases, in the last variation game in the game state before the transition, if there are a plurality of unoutputted symbol confirmation signals, the unoutputted symbol confirmation signals may be output. As a result, the symbol determination signal in the game state before transition is prevented from being output in the game state after transition. That is, in the game state after the transition, it is possible to prevent the symbol confirmation signal from being output in a different game state before the transition.

[Processing of Sound Lamp Control Device 5]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 110 to 115, the processing of the audio ramp control device 5 will be described, focusing on differences from other embodiments.

[Command judgment processing]
In the command determination process of this embodiment, when the variation pattern commands for a plurality of variation games are collectively transmitted from the main control board 4, one effect pattern is set for those variation games. Here, FIGS. 110 to 113 are flow charts showing an example of the procedure of command determination processing executed by the sound lamp control device 5. FIG. An example of the procedure of command determination processing according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 110 to 113. FIG.

<Steps S4501 and S4502>
As shown in FIG. 110, in the command determination process of the present embodiment, when the MPU 51 receives a command (step S2101: Yes), the received command is a variable game in which the variable display time is set in the high frequency support mode (step S4501). If the received command is a variation pattern setting number command (step S4501: Yes), the MPU 51 sets a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting number as the value of the variation pattern setting number counter (step S4502), and the command determination process exit.

Here, the variation pattern setting number counter is a counter that defines the timing of setting the effect pattern. The value of this variation pattern setting number counter is decremented by 1 each time a variation pattern is received as will be described later, and the effect pattern is determined at the timing when the value becomes 0. That is, the voice ramp control device 5 determines the production pattern at the stage when all the variation patterns for the variation game in which the variation display time is set in the high frequency support mode are confirmed.

On the other hand, when the received command is not the variation pattern setting number command (step S4501: No), the MPU 51 shifts the process to step S4503.

<Step S4503>
If the received command is not a variation pattern setting number command (step S4501: No), the MPU 51 determines whether the received command is a variation pattern command for the variation game (step S4503). If the received command is a variation pattern command for the variation game (step S4503: Yes), the MPU 51 moves the process to step S4504, and if the received command is not a variation pattern command for the variation game (step S4503: No ), the process proceeds to S4510 in step FIG.

<Steps S4504 to S4509>
When the received command is a variation pattern command for the variation game (step S4503: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the variation display time for the variation game and the stop display combination of a plurality of decorative symbols (steps S4504 and S4505). Then, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the value of the variation pattern setting number counter (step S4506), and determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S4507).

When the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4507: No), the MPU 51 ends the command determination process. That is, MPU51, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4507: No), does not determine the effect pattern for the variation game. Thereby, when the variable display time is collectively set for a plurality of variable games, one performance pattern is used for the plurality of variable games without individually determining the performance pattern for the variable games. It becomes possible to execute the production. That is, it becomes possible to execute a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) in which a plurality of variable games are disguised as one variable game. And, in the present embodiment, when the variable display time is collectively set for a plurality of variable games as described above, a plurality of symbol determination signals for those variable games are collectively output, so that the variable game It becomes difficult to grasp the break between , from the data display. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game caused by the fact that the break between multiple variable games is grasped from the data display device, and execute various look-ahead effects (crossing effects) across multiple variable games. it becomes possible to

Even if the variable display time is collectively set for a plurality of variable games, it is not always necessary to set one effect pattern for the plurality of variable games. For example, when the variable display time is collectively set for a specific number of variable games, one performance pattern may be set for a specific number of variable games, or for a plurality of variable games It may be determined by lottery whether or not to set one effect pattern.

On the other hand, if the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is 0 (step S4507: Yes), the MPU 51 is a high-frequency support mode shown in FIG. Based on the variation type table, the effect pattern for the variation game corresponding to the variation pattern command is determined (step S4508), the display variation pattern command is transmitted to the display control device 6 (step S4509), and the command determination process exit. Further, the display control device 6 causes the pattern display section 341 to execute an image effect corresponding to the display variation pattern command.

Here, FIGS. 114 and 115 are diagrams showing an example of the variation type table used by the audio ramp control device 5 in high-frequency support. Specifically, FIG. 114 (A) is a diagram showing an example of a variation type table used when the number of variation pattern settings is 1, and FIG. 114 (B) is used when the number of variation pattern settings is 2 FIG. 115(A) is a diagram showing an example of a fluctuation type table used when the number of fluctuation pattern settings is 3, and FIG. 115(B) is a diagram showing an example of a fluctuation pattern It is a figure which shows an example of the fluctuation|variation classification table used when the number of setting is four. In the variation type table shown in FIGS. 114 and 115, the battle ready-to-win effect pattern is set as the effect pattern, but the effect pattern in the high frequency support mode does not necessarily have to be the battle ready-to-win effect pattern. In addition, although the variation type table in the case of the high frequency support mode is common to the probability variation gaming state and the time reduction gaming state, different production patterns may be set for the probability variation gaming state and the time reduction gaming state.

As shown in FIG. 114 (A), in the variation type table used when the number of variation patterns set is 1 in the high-frequency support mode, the variation display time and variation type (effect pattern ) are defined.

For example, the lottery result of the variation game and the suspension 1 variation game is "out", the lottery result of the suspension 2 variation game is "5R normal jackpot", and the combination of the variation pattern commands for the variation game and the suspension 1 variation game In the case of "D09", "D09" and "A09" ("D09" - "D09" - "A09"), the total variation display time of the variation game, the hold 1 variation game and the hold 2 variation game is "15 s" Therefore, the variation type “battle winning reach C1 effect pattern” with the variation display time “15 s” is associated.

In this way, when the number of fluctuation pattern settings is 3, that is, when the fluctuation display time for three fluctuation games is collectively set in the high-frequency support mode, the fluctuation type table in the high-frequency support mode shows three fluctuation games. One production pattern that is straddled and executed is associated.

As shown in FIG. 115 (B), in the variation type table used when the number of variation patterns set in the high frequency support mode is 4, the variation game, the hold 1 variation game, the hold 2 variation game and the hold 3 variation game The content of the variation type (effect pattern) corresponding to the combination of variation pattern commands for is defined.

Also, among the combinations of variation pattern commands for the variation game, the hold 1 variation game, the hold 2 variation game and the hold 3 variation game, all of the variation game, the hold 1 variation game, the hold 2 variation game and the hold 2 variation game "Out" variation pattern command combination "D09" - "D09" - "D09" - "D09" has "battle loss reach D1 effect pattern" with variation display time "20 s", combination "D10" - "D10 "-"D10"-"D10" has a variable display time "40s" "Battle loss reach D2 production pattern", combination "D11"-"D11"-"D11"-"D11" has a variable display time "60s ", and the combination "D12" - "D12" - "D12" - "D12" is associated with the "battle losing reach D4 effect pattern" with a variable display time of "80s". there is

In this way, if the number of fluctuation pattern settings is 4, that is, if the fluctuation display time for four fluctuation games is collectively set in the high-frequency support mode, the fluctuation type table in the high-frequency support mode is for four fluctuation games. One production pattern that is straddled and executed is associated.

As described above, in the fluctuation type table of the high-frequency support mode, when the fluctuation display time for a plurality of fluctuation games is collectively set, one effect pattern executed across a plurality of fluctuation games is associated. there is That is, when the variable display times for a plurality of variable games are collectively set, it is possible to make a plurality of variable games appear as one variable game. Therefore, compared to the case where one effect pattern is set for one variable game, it is possible to execute various prefetch effects (straddle effect), and the player tends to feel bored. It becomes possible to improve the interest of the game in the frequency support mode. In particular, in the present embodiment, as described above, the variable display times for a plurality of variable games are collectively set, and by collectively outputting a plurality of symbol determination signals, the data display device 103 can display a variable display time between variable games. Since it is difficult to judge the break, it is possible to prevent the decline in interest in the game caused by the recognition of the break between variable games.

<Step S4510>
Returning to the description of the procedure of the command determination process of the present embodiment, if the received command is not a variation pattern command for the variation game (step S4503: No), as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is a variation pattern command for the variation game (step S4510). MPU51, if the received command is a variation pattern command for the pending 1 variation game (step S4510: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4511, if the received command is not a variation pattern command for the pending 1 variation game (step S4510 : No), the process moves to S4517 in step FIG.

<Steps S4511 to S4516>
When the received command is a variation pattern command for the pending 1 variation game (step S4510: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the variation display time for the pending 1 variation game and the stop display combination of a plurality of decoration symbols (steps S4511 and S4512 ). In addition, the variable display time for the pending 1 variable game is set to the same time as the variable game as described above, and the stop display combination of a plurality of decorative symbols is set based on the jackpot lottery result for the pending 1 variable game. Then, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the value of the variation pattern setting number counter (step S4513), and determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S4514).

If the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is 0 (step S4514: Yes), the MPU 51 adds to the high frequency support mode variation type table shown in FIG. Based on this, one performance pattern to be executed across these variable games is determined (step S4515) and displayed on the display control device 6 with respect to two variable games, the variable game and the reserved 1 variable game. A variation pattern command is transmitted (step S4516), and the command determination process ends. In addition, the display control device 6 causes the symbol display section 341 to execute an image effect across two variation games corresponding to the display variation pattern command. As a result, when the variable display time is collectively set for the two variable games, one performance is provided for the two variable games without individually determining the performance pattern for the variable games. It becomes possible to execute production by a pattern. That is, it is possible to execute a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) in which two variable games are disguised as one variable game. Then, in the present embodiment, when the variable display time is collectively set for two variable games as described above, two symbol confirmation signals for those variable games are collectively output. It becomes difficult to grasp the gap between the fluctuation games of the round from the data display. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decline in interest in the game caused by the fact that the gap between the two variable games is grasped from the data display device, and to provide various look-ahead performances (straddle performance) across the two variable games. can be executed.

On the other hand, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4514: No), the MPU 51 ends the command determination process. That is, MPU51, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4514: No), even if it receives a variation pattern command for the suspension 1 variation game, does not determine the effect pattern for the suspension 1 variation game .

In addition, when the variable display time is collectively set for the two variable games, the performance pattern may be determined individually for those variable games. In this case, the two performance patterns that are set individually are preferably set as having relevance and continuity with each other, and are preferably set as having continuity in the entirety of the two fluctuation games. preferable.

<Step S4517>
If the received command is not a variation pattern command for the hold 1 variation game (step S4510: No), as shown in FIG. 112, the MPU 51 determines whether the received command is a variation pattern command for the hold 2 variation game (step S4517). MPU51, if the received command is a variation pattern command for the pending 2 variation game (step S4517: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4518, if the received command is not a variation pattern command for the pending 2 variation game (step S4517 : No), the process moves to S4524 in step FIG.

<Steps S4518 to S4523>
When the received command is a variation pattern command for the pending 2 variation game (step S4517: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the variation display time for the pending 2 variation game and the stop display combination of a plurality of decorative symbols (steps S4518 and S4519 ). The variable display time for the pending 2 variable game is set to the same time as the variable game as described above, and the stop display combination of a plurality of decoration symbols is set based on the jackpot lottery result for the pending 2 variable game. Then, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the value of the variation pattern setting number counter (step S4520), and determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S4521).

If the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is 0 (step S4521: Yes), the MPU 51 adds to the high frequency support mode variation type table shown in FIG. Based on this, with respect to three fluctuation games of the fluctuation game, the hold 1 fluctuation game and the hold 2 fluctuation game, one effect pattern to be executed across these fluctuation games is determined (step S4522), and displayed A display variation pattern command is transmitted to the control device 6 (step S4523), and the command determination process ends. In addition, the display control device 6 causes the symbol display section 341 to execute an image effect spanning three times of variation games corresponding to the display variation pattern command. As a result, when the variable display time is collectively set for the three variable games, one performance is provided for the three variable games without individually determining the performance pattern for the variable games. It becomes possible to execute production by the pattern. That is, it is possible to execute a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) in which three variable games are disguised as one variable game. And, in the present embodiment, when the variable display time is collectively set for the three variable games as described above, the three symbol determination signals for the variable games are collectively output. It becomes difficult to grasp the gap between the fluctuation games of the round from the data display. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decline in interest in the game caused by the fact that the gap between the three times of the variable game is grasped from the data display device, and various prefetching performances (crossing performances) over the three times of the variable game can be suppressed. can be executed.

On the other hand, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4521: No), the MPU 51 ends the command determination process. That is, MPU51, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4521: No), even if it receives a variation pattern command for the suspension 2 variation game, does not determine the effect pattern for the suspension 2 variation game .

In addition, when the variable display time is collectively set for the three variable games, the performance pattern may be determined individually for at least one variable game among those variable games. In this case, the performance pattern set individually is preferably set as having relevance and continuity with other performance patterns, and is set as having continuity over the entirety of the three variable games. is preferred.

<Step S4524>
If the received command is not a variation pattern command for the hold 2 variation game (step S4517: No), as shown in FIG. 113, the MPU 51 determines whether the received command is a variation pattern command for the hold 3 variation game (step S4524). MPU51, when the received command is a variation pattern command for the pending 3 variation game (step S4524: Yes), the process proceeds to step S4525. On the other hand, MPU51, if the received command is not a variation pattern command for the pending 3 variation game (step S4524: No), executes processing based on other commands (steps S2106 to S2122), and ends the command determination processing.

<Steps S4525 to S4530>
When the received command is a variation pattern command for the pending 3 variation game (step S4524: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the variation display time for the pending 3 variation game and the stop display combination of a plurality of decorative symbols (steps S4525 and S4526 ). The variable display time for the pending 3 variable game is set to the same time as the variable game as described above, and the stop display combination of a plurality of decorative symbols is set based on the jackpot lottery result for the pending 3 variable game. Then, the MPU 51 subtracts 1 from the value of the variation pattern setting number counter (step S4527), and determines whether or not the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after the subtraction is 0 (step S4528).

If the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is 0 (step S4528: Yes), the MPU 51 adds the high frequency support mode variation type table shown in FIG. Based on, with respect to four fluctuation games of the variation game, the pending 1 variation game, the pending 2 variation game and the pending 3 variation game, one production pattern to be executed across these variable games is determined ( Step S4529), a display variation pattern command is transmitted to the display control device 6 (step S4530), and the command determination process ends. Thus, when the variable display time is collectively set for the four variable games, one performance is provided for the four variable games without individually determining the performance pattern for the variable games. It becomes possible to execute production by a pattern. That is, it is possible to execute a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) in which four variable games are disguised as one variable game. Then, in the present embodiment, when the variable display time is collectively set for the four variable games as described above, four symbol determination signals for the variable games are collectively output. It becomes difficult to grasp the gap between the fluctuation games of the round from the data display. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game caused by the fact that the gap between the four times of the variable game is grasped from the data display device, and various prefetching performances (crossing performance) over the four times of the variable game can be suppressed. can be executed.

On the other hand, when the value of the variation pattern setting number counter after subtraction is not 0 (step S4521: No), the MPU 51 ends the command determination process.

Incidentally, when the variable display time is collectively set for the four variable games, the effect pattern may be determined individually for at least one variable game among those variable games. In this case, the individually set effect patterns are preferably set as those having relevance and continuity with other effect patterns, and are set as those having continuity throughout the four fluctuation games. is preferred.

In addition, in the present embodiment, production is executed by one production pattern for a plurality of variable games in the high-frequency support mode (probability variable game state and time game state), but only in the probability variable game state One for a plurality of variable games It is conceivable to execute the production by the production pattern, and it is also possible to execute the production by one production pattern for a plurality of variable games only in the time saving game state. Also, in addition to or instead of at least one of the variable probability game state and the time game state, an effect may be executed by one effect pattern for a plurality of variable games in the normal game state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of symbol confirmation signals to be output to the outside in the high-frequency support mode in which the right to execute the variable game is likely to be reserved, considering the pending situation for the variable game by the second special figure When a plurality of pattern confirmation signals are output in a preset high-frequency support mode, a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) is determined and executed for a plurality of variable games corresponding to these pattern confirmation signals.

Thus, when the symbol determination signals for a plurality of variable games are collectively output from the gaming machine, the current number of variable games in the data display 103 is not updated for each variation, and the current number of times in the data display 103 is not updated. It is possible to cause inconsistency between the variable number of games and the actual number of variable games. Thereby, when the variable game is executed continuously, it becomes difficult to grasp the break between the variable games from the data display 103.例文帳に追加As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game caused by the data display device 103 grasping the breaks between the variable games, and execute various look-ahead performances (straddle performances) across multiple variable games. it becomes possible to

In addition, when there is a hold at the start of the variation of the variation game, the variation display time for a plurality of variation games can be set collectively, so that the number of output multiple symbol confirmation signals can be reliably output. It becomes possible to specify a possible number. Thereby, it becomes possible to set one effect pattern (prefetch effect pattern) corresponding to the number of variable games corresponding to the number of symbol determination signals output collectively. As a result, it becomes easy to execute a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) in which a plurality of variable games are made to look like one variable game.

In addition, in the case of the high-frequency support mode in which the right to execute variable games is likely to be reserved, the variable display time for a plurality of variable games can be collectively set, so that the variable display is collectively performed for a plurality of variable games. Setting the time is easy. This makes it easier to collectively output the symbol determination signals for a plurality of variable games.

In addition, a variable game in which a plurality of symbol determination signals are output by determining and executing one look-ahead effect (straddling effect) across a plurality of variable games when a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output. , it is possible to match a variable game in which one performance over a plurality of variable games is completed. This makes it possible to execute a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) in which a plurality of variable games are made to look like one variable game. And, for example, the predetermined condition is that the variable display time is set collectively for a plurality of variable games, and that a plurality of symbol confirmation signals for those variable games are collectively output, so that the variable game can be difficult to grasp from the data display. As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game caused by the fact that the break between multiple variable games is grasped from the data display device, and execute various look-ahead effects (crossing effects) across multiple variable games. it becomes possible to In addition, when a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output, one look-ahead effect (straddle effect) across a plurality of variable games is determined and executed, for example, in the high-frequency support mode, the off effect is repeated. Even if it is possible to reduce the number of apparent deviation effects. As a result, it is possible to reduce the player's frustration and discomfort caused by the repetition of the failure effect, thereby suppressing the decrease in interest and interest in the game.

In this embodiment, design changes similar to those in the first to ninth embodiments are possible within the applicable range.

[Eleventh embodiment]
In the tenth embodiment described above, when there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special symbol in the high-frequency support mode, the symbol confirmation signal of the total number of the variable game and the number of reservations is collected by the gaming machine 10 is output to the outside, and the case where the look-ahead performance (straddle performance) is executed to make a plurality of variable games corresponding to the number of symbol determination signals output collectively appear as one variation. Further, in the tenth embodiment described above, if the reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure in the high-frequency support mode includes the reservation that the lottery result in the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, The case where the total number of symbol determination signals up to the variable game corresponding to the suspension is collectively output to the outside of the gaming machine 10 has been described. That is, in the gaming machine according to the tenth embodiment described above, the number of symbol determination signals to be output to the outside in the high-frequency support mode is set in advance in consideration of the state of suspension for the variable game by the second special figure, and is high. When a plurality of symbol determination signals are output in the frequency support mode, a look-ahead effect (straddle effect) is executed for a plurality of variable games corresponding to these symbol determination signals.

However, in the tenth embodiment described above, when the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set, the number of reservations and the holding status such as the result of judgment of each reservation are checked and the pattern confirmation signal to be output to the outside Since it is necessary to determine the number of , the control by the main controller 4 becomes relatively complicated.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set to a prescribed number of times, and when the fluctuation game of the prescribed number of times is executed, the number of pattern confirmation signals corresponding to the prescribed number of times is executed. is output. In this way, when the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set to a predetermined specified number of times, it is not necessary to check the status of suspension such as the number of suspensions and the result of judgment of each suspension, so that the main control device 4 control is simplified.

Further, in one example of the present embodiment, the prescribed number of times is one fixed number of times, and the prescribed number of times is a fixed number of times, but the prescribed number of times may be a variable number of times selected from a plurality of predetermined fixed numbers of times. (A twelfth embodiment to be described later).

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 116 to 120, focusing on differences from other embodiments.

[Processing of main controller 4]
The processing of main controller 4 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 116 and 117. FIG. Here, FIG. 116 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation start process, and FIG. 117 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation stop process.

[Variation start processing]
In the variation start processing of the present embodiment, unlike the variation start processing of the tenth embodiment described above, at the start of variation of the second special figure in the high frequency support mode, the number of symbol confirmation signals is a prescribed number of predetermined times ( Fixed number of times) or the value of the specified number of times counter indicating the number of remaining fluctuations until the pattern confirmation signal is output, and the number of variations after the specified number of times is set (value subtracted from the value of the specified number of times counter) The value of the indicated subtraction number counter is updated.

<Steps S4601 to S4604>
In the fluctuation start process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 116, unlike the fluctuation start process of the tenth embodiment described above, the MPU 41 determines the pattern when the high-frequency support mode is set (step S4601: Yes). It is determined whether or not the value of the specified number of times counter indicating the remaining number of variable games until outputting the signal is 0 (step S4602). Then, when the value of the specified number of times counter is 0 (step S4602: Yes), the MPU 41 sets the specified number of times, which is a fixed number of times, as the value of the specified number of times counter (step S4603). Furthermore, the MPU 41 sets a specified number of times set command for notifying the sound lamp control device 5 that a specified number of times counter indicating the number of remaining variable games until outputting the pattern confirmation signal is set (step S4604), End the fluctuation start process.

Although there is no particular limitation on the specified number of times, it is determined in consideration of the jackpot probability etc. in the variable probability game state, and in consideration of the number of time-saving games in the time-saving game state. For example, the specified number of times is set in the range of 2 to 50 times, preferably in the range of 2 to 25 times.

<Steps S4605 to S4608>
When the value of the specified number counter is not 0 (step S4602: Yes), that is, when it is determined that the specified number of times until the pattern confirmation signal is output has not passed, the MPU 41 determines that the lottery result of the variable game is a big hit. There is no off (step S4605: No), and if there is a reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure (step S4606: No), the regulation indicating the number of remaining variable games until the symbol confirmation signal is output The value of the number counter is subtracted by 1 (step S4607). Then, the MPU 41 adds 1 to the value of the subtraction number counter indicating the number of variable games (subtraction value of the value of the specified number counter) after the specified number of times is set (step S4608), and ends the variation start process. The value of the subtraction number counter is referred to determine the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output in step S4703 of the fluctuation stop processing in FIG.

<Step S4609>
If the value of the specified number counter is not 0 (step S4602: Yes), MPU 41, if the lottery result of the variation game is a big hit (step S4605: Yes), or the right to execute the variation game by the second special figure is not pending (step S4606: Yes), the value of the specified number of times counter is cleared (set to 0) (step S4609). That is, even if the variation game does not correspond to the variation game that outputs the pattern confirmation signal by executing the variation game for the specified number of times, if the lottery result for the variation game is a big hit, or variation due to the second special figure If there is no reservation of the right to execute the game, the value of the specified number of times counter is cleared (step S4609), and a symbol determination signal is output at the end of the variation game (variation stop in FIG. 117 to be described later). processing steps S4702 and S4703). In this way, even if it does not correspond to the variable game that outputs the symbol confirmation signal by executing the specified number of variable games, if the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, or if the variable game by the second special figure When there is no reservation of the right to execute, the design determination signal is output at the end of the variation game, thereby preventing the design determination signal from being output when the continuity of the variation game is interrupted in the variation game. be done. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pattern determination signal from being output at the end of the variable game executed after the end of the big win, and at the end of the variable game started after the interruption of the continuously executed variable game. This prevents the pattern confirmation signal from being output. As a result, for example, the inconvenience of updating the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 at the end of the variable game executed after the end of the jackpot is prevented, and the variable game executed continuously is interrupted and then started. Inconvenience that the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 is updated at the end of the fluctuation game is prevented.

<Steps S4610 and S4611>
When the value of the specified number of times counter is cleared (step S4609), the MPU 41 determines that the specified number of times has been cleared before the number of times of fluctuation game to output the pattern confirmation signal passes the specified number of times (be 0). to the audio lamp control device 5 is set to ON (step S4610). Then, the MPU 41 sets on a specified number of times clear flag indicating that the specified number of times has been cleared (is 0) before the specified number of variable games is executed (step S4611), and starts the variation start process. finish. The prescribed number of times clear flag is referenced in step S4701 of fluctuation stop processing in FIG.

[Variation stop processing]
In the variation stop processing of the present embodiment, when the second special figure is stopped and displayed, unlike the variation stop processing of the tenth embodiment described above, the variation game is executed a specified number of times, or the specified number of times When the clear flag is on (when the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, or when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure at the start of the variable game), the pattern confirmation signal is output be done.

<Step S4701>
As shown in FIG. 117, in step S4701, when the MPU 41 is in the high-frequency support mode (step S4401: Yes), the value of the prescribed number of times counter indicating the number of remaining fluctuations until the pattern confirmation signal is output is cleared. It is determined whether or not a specified number of times clear flag indicating that is set to ON. If the specified number of times clear flag is set to ON (step S4701: Yes), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4705, and if the specified number of times clear flag is set to OFF (step S4701: No), the process to step S4702.

<Steps S4702 to S4704>
When the specified number of times clear flag is set to OFF (step S4701: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the specified number of times counter is 0 (step S4702). When the value of the specified number counter is 0 (step S4702: Yes), the MPU 41 outputs a number of symbol determination signals corresponding to the specified number of times (step S4703), and clears the value of the subtraction number counter (step S4704 ) to terminate the fluctuation stop processing. On the other hand, when the value of the specified number of times counter is not 0 (step S4702: No), the MPU 41 can determine that it is not the timing to output the pattern confirmation signal. .

<Steps S4705 to S4707>
When the specified number of times clear flag is set to ON (step S4701: Yes), that is, when the value of the specified number of times counter is cleared before executing the variable game of the specified number of times, the MPU 41 is set to the value of the subtraction counter. A corresponding number of symbol determination signals are output (step S4705). Then, the MPU 41 clears the value of the subtraction number counter (step S4706), sets the specified times clear flag to off (step S4707), and ends the fluctuation stop processing.

Thus, in the present embodiment, when the specified number of variable games set as the fixed number of times is executed, the specified number of symbol determination signals are collectively output. As a result, when the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set, it is not necessary to check the status of suspension such as the number of suspensions and the result of judging the validity of each suspension, so the control by the main controller 4 is simplified. be.

In addition, in this embodiment, even before the specified number of times has passed, if the variation game is a big hit, or if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variation game by the second special figure at the start of the variation, The number of symbol determination signals corresponding to the number of fluctuation games by the second special symbol after the specified number of times is set is collectively output. Thereby, when the continuity of the variation game is interrupted in the variation game, the symbol determination signal is output, so that the symbol determination signal is prevented from being output at the end of the variation game executed after the end of the big win, To prevent a pattern determination signal from being output at the end of a variation game to be started after the interruption of the variation game to be continuously executed. As a result, for example, the inconvenience of updating the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 at the end of the variable game executed after the end of the jackpot is prevented, and the variable game executed continuously is interrupted and then started. Inconvenience that the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 is updated at the end of the fluctuation game is prevented.

In addition, in this embodiment, even before the specified number of times has elapsed, after the end of the variable game high frequency support mode (probability variable game state, time-saving game state) to normal game state (low probability mode and low frequency support mode) , the pattern confirmation signal may be output after the end of the final variation game in the game state (high frequency support) before the transition. In this case, in the last variation game in the game state before the transition, if there are a plurality of unoutputted symbol determination signals, the unoutputted symbol determination signals are output. As a result, the symbol determination signal in the game state before transition is prevented from being output in the game state after transition. That is, in the game state after the transition, it is possible to prevent the symbol confirmation signal from being output in a different game state before the transition.

[Processing of Sound Lamp Control Device 5]
The processing of the audio lamp control device 5 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 118 to 120. FIG. Here, FIG. 118 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of command determination processing.

[Command judgment processing]
In the command determination process of this embodiment, unlike the command determination process of the tenth embodiment described above, an effect pattern is set for each variation game in the high-frequency support mode. The effect pattern in this case differs depending on whether the specified number of times is set, when the specified number of times is cleared, and when the specified number of times is both set and cleared.

<Steps S4801 and S4802>
As shown in FIG. 118, in the command determination process of the present embodiment, when the MPU 51 receives the specified number of times set command (step S4801: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the specified number of times set flag to ON (step S4802). This specified number of times set flag is a flag for setting a continuous effect start effect as the effect pattern, and is referred to in step S4901 of the effect pattern setting process in FIG. 120 described later.

<Steps S4803 and S4804>
When the MPU 51 receives the specified number of times clear command (step S4803: Yes), the MPU 51 sets the specified number of times clear flag to ON (step S4804). This specified number of times clear flag is a flag for setting the continuous effect end effect as the effect pattern, and is referred to in step S4904 of the effect pattern setting process in FIG. 120 described later.

<Steps S4805 to S4807>
If the MPU 51 receives a variation pattern command (step S2102: Yes), if it is not a high frequency support mode (step S4805: No), that is, if it is a low frequency support mode, the variation pattern command in the first embodiment is executed (steps S2103 to S2105). On the other hand, if the MPU 51 receives the variation pattern command (step S2102: Yes), and if it is the high frequency support mode (step S4805: Yes), it sets the stop symbol combination and the variation display time (step S406). Then, after executing the effect pattern setting process described below (step S4807), the MPU 51 outputs a display variation pattern command to the display control device 6 (step S2105), and terminates the command determination process.

[Production pattern setting process]
In the production pattern setting process of this embodiment, the production pattern in each variable game in the high frequency support mode is set. In this embodiment, as the effect in the high frequency support mode, a continuous effect having relevance in a plurality of variable games is executed. Here, FIG. 119 is a diagram showing an example of continuous effects in the high frequency support mode.

As shown in FIG. 119(A), the continuous effect includes a start effect, a continuous effect and an end effect. The start effect is the effect determined and executed for the first variable game in which the continuous effect is executed. The end effect is an effect determined and executed for the last variable game in which the continuous effect is executed. The continuous performance is a performance determined and executed for a variable game other than the first variable game and the last variable game of the continuous performance when the continuous performance is executed over three or more variable games. That is, the continuous effect is basically executed in the order of start effect→continuous effect→ .

The continuous effect is a effect having relevance to a story or the like executed over a plurality of variable games, and is a set of effects individually determined and executed in each variable game. Types of continuous effects are not particularly limited, but include, for example, battle effects, mission effects, treasure hunt effects, and role-playing game effects. When the continuous production is executed as a battle production, for example, a production in which an ally character and an enemy character face each other is executed as a start production, and a production in which one or both of the ally character and the enemy character attack is executed as a continuation production, and then finished. As an effect, an effect is executed in which one of the ally character and the enemy character is defeated. Specifically, as the ending effect, when the prescribed number of times has passed and when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure at the start of the variable game, the effect of defeating the ally character is executed. be. When the specified number of times has passed, and when there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure at the start of the variable game, the end effect is that the result of the battle between the ally character and the enemy character is a draw. may be Also, as the end effect, when the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, an effect is executed in which the enemy character is defeated.

As shown in FIG. 119(B), in the continuous effect, if the lottery result for the variable game is a jackpot, and if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure at the start of the variable game , Even before the lapse of the specified number of times, it becomes an effect to execute the end effect in the variation game. Thereby, when the continuity of the variation game is interrupted in the variation game, the symbol determination signal is output, so that the symbol determination signal is prevented from being output at the end of the variation game executed after the end of the big hit, and the continuity It is possible to prevent the symbol determination signal from being output at the end of the variation game to be started after the variation game to be executed is interrupted. As a result, for example, the inconvenience of updating the number of fluctuations on the data display 103 at the end of the variable game executed after the end of the jackpot is prevented, and the variable game executed continuously is interrupted and then started. Inconvenience that the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 is updated at the end of the fluctuation game is prevented.

Here, FIG. 120 is a flow chart showing an example of the procedure of effect pattern setting processing executed in step S4807 of the command determination processing of FIG.

<Steps S4901 to S4903>
As shown in FIG. 120, in the effect pattern setting process of this embodiment, the MPU 41 determines whether or not the specified number of times set flag is set to ON (step S4901). This specified number of times set flag is a flag indicating that the value of the specified number of times counter has been set to the specified number of times in the main controller 4, and is turned on when the specified number of times set command is received in the command determination process of FIG. set. MPU41, when the specified number of times set flag is set to ON (step S4901: Yes), sets the effect start effect as the effect pattern of the variation game (step S4902), further sets the specified number of times set flag to OFF. (Step S4903), the effect pattern setting process is terminated. In other words, the start effect indicating that the continuous effect is started is set as the first effect pattern when the first variation game when the specified number of times is set, that is, when the continuous effect is started. On the other hand, when the specified number of times set flag is set to OFF (step S4901: No), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4904.

<Steps S4904 to S4906>
When the specified number of times set flag is set to OFF (step S4901: No), the MPU 41 determines whether or not the specified number of times clear flag is set to ON (step S4904). This specified number of times set flag is a flag indicating that the value of the specified number of times counter has been cleared, that is, the value of the specified number of times counter is 0 in the main controller 4. In the command determination process of FIG. Set to ON when a clear command is received. MPU41, when the specified number of times clear flag is set to ON, sets the end effect as the effect pattern of the variable game (step S4905), further sets the specified number of times clear flag to OFF (step S4906), the effect End the pattern setting process. In other words, an end effect indicating that the continuous effect is terminated is set as the effect pattern of the last variable game when the prescribed number of times is set. Also, in the main control device 4, the value of the specified number of times counter is set when the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, or when the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure is not reserved at the start of the variable game. is also cleared, if the lottery result for the variable game is a big hit, or even if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variable game by the second special figure at the start of the variable game, the end effect will be displayed as a production pattern. set. On the other hand, when the specified number of times clear flag is set to OFF (step S4904: No), the MPU 41 shifts the process to step S4907.

<Step S4907>
When the specified number of times clear flag is set to OFF (step S4904: No), the MPU 41 sets the continuous effect as the effect pattern (step S4907), and terminates the effect pattern setting process. In other words, if the variation game does not correspond to either the first variation game or the last variation game when the specified number of times is set, and the variation game is off and there is a hold for the second special figure, continue set the performance.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of symbol confirmation signals to be output to the outside in the high frequency support mode in which the right to execute a variable game is likely to be reserved is set to the specified number of times, which is a fixed number of times, and the high frequency support mode When a plurality of symbol determination signals are output in , a continuous effect having relevance over a plurality of variation games corresponding to these symbol determination signals is determined and executed for each variation game.

In this way, the number of symbol determination signals corresponding to a plurality of variable games is collectively output from the gaming machine by the number corresponding to the specified number of times, so that the current number of variable games on the data display 103 is not updated for each variation. It is possible to cause a mismatch between the current number of variable games on the data display 103 and the actual number of variable games. Thereby, when the variable game is executed continuously, it becomes difficult to grasp the break between the variable games from the data display 103.例文帳に追加As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest in the game caused by the fact that the gap between the variable games is grasped from the data display device 103.例文帳に追加In addition, when the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set as a specified number of times, there is no need to confirm the status of suspension such as the number of suspensions and the judgment result of each suspension, so the control by the main controller 4 is simple. become.

Further, when a plurality of symbol confirmation signals are collectively output, a continuous effect having relevance across a plurality of variation games is determined and executed for each variation game, thereby generating a plurality of symbol confirmation signals. It is possible to match a variable game in which is output with a variable game in which a continuous performance having relevance across a plurality of variable games ends. As a result, it is possible to execute a continuous performance in which a plurality of variable games are made to look like one variable game.

In addition, when a plurality of symbol determination signals are collectively output, a continuous performance having relevance across a plurality of variable games is determined and executed, so that, for example, the off performance is repeated in the high-frequency support mode. Even in such a case, it is possible to reduce the number of apparent deviation effects. As a result, it is possible to reduce the player's frustration and discomfort caused by the repetition of the losing effect, thereby suppressing the decrease in the interest in the game.

In addition, in this embodiment, even before the specified number of times has passed, if the variation game is a big hit, or if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variation game by the second special figure at the start of the variation, The number of symbol determination signals corresponding to the number of fluctuation games by the second special symbol after the specified number of times is set is collectively output. As a result, when the continuity of the variable game is interrupted in the variable game, the symbol confirmation signal is output, so that the continuous performance is continued at the end of the variation game executed after the end of the big hit, and the symbol confirmation signal is output. Thus, after the continuously executed variable game is interrupted, output of the pattern determination signal at the end of the subsequently started variable game is prevented. As a result, for example, the inconvenience of updating the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 at the end of the variable game executed after the end of the jackpot is prevented, and the variable game executed continuously is interrupted and then started. Inconvenience that the number of fluctuations of the data display 103 is updated at the end of the fluctuation game is prevented.

In addition, in this embodiment, even before the specified number of times has passed, if the variation game is a big hit, or if there is no reservation of the right to execute the variation game by the second special figure at the start of the variation, An end effect is determined and executed as the effect pattern for the variable game. As a result, even if the symbol determination signal is collectively output before the stipulated number of times has passed, the continuous performance can be terminated in the variation game. Further, when the continuity of the variation game is interrupted in the variation game, it is possible to terminate the continuous performance in the variation game in which the continuity is interrupted. As a result, when the continuity of the variable game is interrupted, the continuous performance is prevented from ending halfway.

In this embodiment, design changes similar to those in the first to tenth embodiments are possible within the applicable range.

[Twelfth Embodiment]
In the eleventh embodiment described above, the number of symbol determination signals to be output to the outside is set to a specified number of times, which is one predetermined fixed number of times, and when a variation game of the specified number of times is executed, it corresponds to the specified number of times. By outputting the number of symbol confirmation signals, it is unnecessary to confirm the holding status such as the number of holdings and the judgment result of each holding, so that the control in the main controller 4 is simplified.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the number of variable games corresponding to the (selected) specified number of times (variation number of times) selected from a plurality of predetermined fixed numbers is executed, the number corresponding to the selected specified number of times A number of symbol determination signals are output. That is, unlike the eleventh embodiment described above, the specified number of times is not a fixed number of times, but the specified number of times is a non-fixed number of times selected from a plurality of specified numbers of times. different from

Thus, in the present embodiment, the number of symbol determination signals to be output to the outside is set from a plurality of predetermined numbers of times, and when the set number of variable games is executed, the number corresponding to the number of times of regulation By outputting the pattern confirmation signal, similarly to the eleventh embodiment described above, when the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set from a predetermined number of prescribed times, the number of reservations and each reservation Since it is not necessary to check the status of pending such as the result of judging whether or not the application is valid, the control by the main control unit is simplified.

Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 121, focusing on differences from the eleventh embodiment.

[Variation start processing]
In the variation start process of the present embodiment, when the number of variable games corresponding to the specified number of times selected (selected) from a plurality of predetermined fixed numbers as described above is executed, the number corresponding to the selected specified number of times is executed. is output. Here, FIG. 121 is a diagram showing an example of the procedure of the fluctuation start process of this embodiment.

<Step S5001>
As shown in FIG. 121, unlike the fluctuation start process of the eleventh embodiment described above, the MPU 41, when the value of the specified number counter is 0 in the high-frequency support mode (step S4602: Yes), sets a plurality of specified times. One specified number of times is selected from the number of times, and the specified number is set as the value of the specified number of times counter (steps S5001 and S5002), a specified number of times set command is set (step S4604), and the fluctuation start processing ends.

A plurality of specified times are not particularly limited, but are determined in consideration of the jackpot probability and the like in the case of the variable probability game state, and are determined in consideration of the number of time-saving games in the time-saving game state. The specified number of times is set, for example, in the range of 2 to 50 times, preferably in the range of 2 to 25 times.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of pattern confirmation signals to be output to the outside (specified number of times) is set from a plurality of predetermined fixed times, and the set specified number of variable games is performed. By outputting the number of symbol confirmation signals corresponding to the number of times, similar to the eleventh embodiment described above, when the number of symbol confirmation signals to be output to the outside is set from a predetermined number of predetermined times, Since it is not necessary to confirm the status of suspension such as the number of suspensions and the result of determining whether each suspension is valid, control by the main controller is simplified.

In addition, in the present embodiment, design changes similar to those in the first to eleventh embodiments described above are possible within the applicable range.

In the gaming machine according to appendix F15', the special game is set to be executed in the first special game state in which the end of the predetermined period is shifted to the first game state after the end of the special game. Therefore, if the result of the transition determination of the first game state is to shift to the first special game state, that is, in a single hit in which the first hit is shifted to the first special game state, the first special game state is executed. The predetermined period ends in the special game played. On the other hand, if the result of the transition determination of the first game state is to shift to the second special game state, that is, if the first hit is a consecutive game that shifts to the second special game state, the second special game state is changed. When the special game to be executed does not complete the predetermined period and the result of the transition determination of the second game state is to shift to the first special game state, the first special game state is executed. A predetermined period ends in the special game. In other words, in the case of consecutive wins in which the initial winning is shifted to the second special game state, the predetermined period ends in the first special game in which the consecutive games end. Therefore, in the consecutive game win, the predetermined period is set across the first special game ending in the consecutive game. period will be longer.

A game machine characterized by having

By the way, it is not preferable for the gaming machine to arouse the gambling spirit of the player by excessively increasing the number of paid balls. In addition, recent players tend not to want the game machine to excessively increase or decrease the number of balls paid out in a short period of time. There is a tendency to desire a gradual increase or decrease in the number of balls released.

As a method of slowing the increase and decrease of the number of balls released in the game machine, for example, setting the jackpot probability in the normal game state (low probability mode) high, setting the probability variable jackpot ratio in the probability variable game machine low (variable probability continuation rate is set low), and setting the jackpot probability in the variable probability game state (high probability mode) low. Especially these days, there is a tendency to set the jackpot probability low in the variable probability game state (high probability mode) in order to suppress a rapid increase in the number of balls released. Also, in order to suppress an excessive increase in the number of payout balls in the variable probability game state, it is conceivable to set the variation display time in the variation game relatively long (for example, 15 seconds or more). When the variable display time is set relatively long in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. Easy to set patterns. This ready-to-win effect pattern is set based on the lottery result of the big win lottery, and suggests the degree of expectation for the big win in the high-speed fluctuation effect and the ready-to-win effect. Further, during the execution of the high-speed fluctuation effect and the ready-to-win effect, the advance notice effect suggesting the degree of expectation for the big win is appropriately executed.

However, even in the probability variable gaming state (high probability mode), most of the lottery results in the jackpot lottery are out. In addition, when the lottery result of the big win lottery is a loss, a performance pattern with a low degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be set, and a performance with a low degree of expectation for a big win is likely to be set as the advance notice performance. Therefore, in the probability variable gaming state, the effect with low expectation for big win is likely to occur frequently, and the increasing speed of the paid out balls can be reduced. On the other hand, if an effect with a low expectation of a big win is executed for a relatively long variable display time, the tempo of the variable game that is executed one after another is bad, and the player is likely to feel a sense of sluggishness. Loss of interest in games. In particular, when the jackpot probability in the variable game state (high probability mode) is set low, the average number of games required to reach the next jackpot increases, and the average playing time required to reach the next jackpot increases. The interest in the game is further reduced.

On the other hand, while setting the jackpot probability in the probability variable gaming state, the variable display time of the variable game is set short, for example, the variable display time is set to a short variable display time of about 3 seconds, and this short variable display time is selected. It is also possible to make it easier. Thus, by facilitating the setting of the short variation display time in the variable probability gaming state, for example, as shown in FIG. Game tempo improves.

However, in the short fluctuation display of about 3 seconds, although the tempo of the fluctuation games that are executed one after another is improved, it is difficult to execute a sufficient deviation effect during that time. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to understand what the effect is intended in the effect for the short-time fluctuation display, and it is also difficult for the player to understand the degree of expectation that the lottery result of the big win lottery will be a big win. Therefore, even if the tempo of the fluctuating rhythm is prioritized and an effect that is difficult to understand is repeated, the interest in the game may decrease. In addition, if the short fluctuation display time is easily selected, the average playing time of the fluctuation game will be shortened, and as a result, an excessive increase in the number of balls paid out cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and a gradual increase or decrease in the number of balls paid out will be hindered. .

On the other hand, in the gaming machine according to Supplementary Note A1, a predetermined game time out of a plurality of game times is set as the game time of the notification game for informing that the result of the shift determination is not to shift to the special game state. can be Then, when a predetermined game time is set, as a game effect, a specific effect (for example, a pseudo-continuous 3 effect) is executed in which a predetermined variation (for example, a pseudo-variation) is performed a specific number of times without executing the predetermined effect. Alternatively, a predetermined effect (for example, an advance notice effect) may be executed, and an effect may be executed in which a predetermined variation is executed a number of times less than a specific number of times (for example, once).

As described above, in the gaming machine according to appendix f1, by executing a specific effect in which a predetermined variation is executed a specific number of times without executing a predetermined effect as a game effect, the information game is played by the predetermined variation of the specific number of times. The tempo is better. And, since most of the results of transition determination do not transition to the special game state, the specific effect can be repeatedly executed. As a result, in the gaming machine according to Supplementary Note A1, similar to the gaming machine in which the conventional short variation display time is likely to be selected by repeating the predetermined variation, the information game that is executed one after another is prevented while preventing the game performance from being delayed. It is possible to improve the tempo. That is, in the gaming machine according to appendix A1, instead of the short-time variation display of about 3 seconds as the game time, a specific effect in which a predetermined variation is performed a specific number of times is adopted, so that the information game that is performed one after another is displayed. It is possible to improve the tempo.

In addition, in the gaming machine according to Supplementary Note A1, the repetition of the predetermined variation makes it difficult for the player to recognize the gap between the information games (at the end of the information game). Therefore, when the ready-to-win effect is executed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the ready-to-win effect has suddenly started. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by the unexpectedness of the sudden start of the ready-to-win effect.

In addition, in the gaming machine according to appendix f1, the specific effect is such that a predetermined variation such as a pseudo-variation is executed a specific number of times, thereby making it easier for the player to understand the intention of the effect and the degree of expectation for a big win. As a result, in the gaming machine according to Supplementary Note A1, it is possible to execute the predetermined variation in the information game with a good sense of rhythm, and it is possible to improve the tempo of the information games that are executed one after another, as well as the intention of the performance and the expectation of the big win. is easily understood by the player, and the loss of interest in the game is prevented. Furthermore, in the gaming machine according to Supplementary Note A1, the predetermined game time is set to a time during which the predetermined variation can be performed a specific number of times, thereby preventing the average game time of the information game from being shortened. Since this prevents the average playing time between special games from being shortened, it is possible to sufficiently suppress an excessive increase in the number of paid balls and realize a gradual increase or decrease in the number of paid balls.

In addition, in the gaming machine according to appendix f1, a predetermined effect is executed as the game effect, and an effect of executing a predetermined variation a number of times less than a specific number of times is executed, so that when the information game is executed one after another , a predetermined effect such as an advance notice effect is executed during the repetition of the predetermined variation. Here, when the predetermined variation is repeated in the successively executed information games, excessive repetition of the predetermined variation may make the progress of the game monotonous and reduce the interest in the game. Therefore, when a predetermined effect such as a notice effect is executed while the information games that are executed one after another are executed at a good tempo, the fluctuation rhythm is changed. This prevents the predetermined fluctuation from being repeated excessively, thereby preventing the progress of the game from becoming monotonous, thereby suppressing the decline in interest in the game.

Here, when the probability that the game ball is allowed to enter the starting hole is the second probability, the transition determination is likely to be repeatedly and continuously executed. Therefore, when the probability that the game ball is allowed to enter the starting hole that gives the opportunity for the transition determination based on the game ball entering is the second probability, the predetermined game time as the game time of the information game can be determined, it becomes easier to repeatedly execute the specific effect in which the predetermined variation is executed a specific number of times.

Thus, when the first condition is established, a plurality of pieces of information game information (for example, information game end information) are collectively output as a signal from the main control means via the output terminal, and a second condition different from the first condition is output. When the information game information is established, one information game information signal is output from the main control means through the output terminal. While the number of information games from the last big win on the data display is updated, the number of information games on the data display is not updated each time the information game is executed when the first condition is established. Therefore, when one information game is executed, the current number of information games displayed on the data display may or may not be updated depending on the condition to be established. This makes it possible to cause a mismatch between the current number of information games on the data display and the actual number of information games. As a result, when the information game is continuously executed, it becomes difficult to grasp the breaks between the information games from the data display. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest in the game caused by the fact that the break between the information games is grasped from the data display device, and various effects (for example, look-ahead effect, crossing effect, continuous effect) for the information game for a plurality of times can be suppressed. can be executed.

That is, when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state, even if the condition (first condition or second condition) for signal output of the information game information is not satisfied, the information game Information is signaled. In this way, when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state, the signal output of the information game information is performed even when the condition for signal output of the information game information is not satisfied. Since the information game information in the first game state is signal-outputted by the end of the first game state, the information game information in the first game state is prevented from being signal-output in the second game state. As a result, when the game state is shifted, the notification game information in the game state before the transition is prevented from being output as a signal in the game state after the transition.

That is, in the case of transition from the first game state in which the game ball is easily allowed to enter the starting hole to the second game state in which the game ball is easily allowed to enter the starting hole and is difficult to enter, the notification is made. By signal-outputting the information game information even when the condition for signal output of the game information is not established, the information game information in the first game state is signal-outputted by the end of the first game state. Thereby, the information game information in the first game state is prevented from being signal-output in the second game state, and when the high frequency support mode is shifted to the low frequency support mode, the information game in the high frequency support mode is performed. Information is prevented from being signaled in low frequency support.

That is, even if the conditions for signal output of the information game information are not established when the transition is made from the first game state in which the transition to the special game state is likely to occur to the second game state in which the transition to the special game state is difficult to occur. By signal-outputting the information game information, the information game information in the first game state is signal-output by the end of the first game state. As a result, the information game information in the first game state is prevented from being signal-output in the second game state, and when the high probability mode is shifted to the low probability mode, the information game information in the high probability mode is low. Signaling in stochastic mode is prevented.

It can be adjusted according to the setting method. As a result, since a plurality of information game information (for example, information game end information) can be collectively output at various timings, the timing at which a plurality of information game information (for example, information game end information) is collectively output is diversified. be done.

Furthermore, in the gaming machines according to appendices G1 to G3, the first condition is that a predetermined information game is started, and when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state, the information game information are collectively output as a signal. That is, when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state, even if the condition (first condition or second condition) for signal output of the information game information is not established, the information game Information is signaled. In this way, when the game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state, the signal output of the information game information is performed even when the condition for signal output of the information game information is not satisfied. Since the information game information in the first game state is signal-outputted by the end of the first game state, the information game information in the first game state is prevented from being signal-output in the second game state. As a result, when the game state is shifted, the notification game information in the game state before the transition is prevented from being output as a signal in the game state after the transition.

That is, in the case of transition from the first game state in which the game ball is easily allowed to enter the starting hole to the second game state in which the game ball is easily allowed to enter the starting hole and is difficult to enter, the notification is made. By signal-outputting the information game information even when the condition for signal output of the game information is not established, the information game information in the first game state is signal-outputted by the end of the first game state. Thereby, the information game information in the first game state is prevented from being signal-output in the second game state, and when the high frequency support is shifted to the low frequency support mode, the information game information in the high frequency support mode is prevented from being signaled in infrequent support mode.

That is, even if the conditions for signal output of the information game information are not established when the transition is made from the first game state in which the transition to the special game state is likely to occur to the second game state in which the transition to the special game state is difficult to occur. By signal-outputting the information game information, the information game information in the first game state is signal-output by the end of the first game state. As a result, the information game information in the first game state is prevented from being signal-output in the second game state, and when the high probability mode is shifted to the low probability mode, the information game information in the high probability mode is low. Signaling in stochastic mode is prevented.
