A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 that constitutes a game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 that supports and fixes the game board 2 . A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball shooting device and hit into the game area.

[0083] Incidentally, the "variable display" of the special symbols means, for example, that a plurality of types of special symbols are variably displayed (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include updated display of multiple designs, scroll display of multiple designs, deformation of one or more designs, enlargement / reduction of one or more designs, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the later-described variation of decorative patterns, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged / reduced. Incidentally, the variation includes a mode of blinking a certain symbol. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation.

[0084] In addition, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". Also, the special game using the first special is called "first special game", and the special game using the second special is also called "second special game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

[0085] An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2 .

In addition to the top tray, the gaming machine frame 3 may be provided with a payout portion (hit ball supply tray) from which prize balls are paid out when the top tray is full.

[0109] A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by a player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. An operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

[0110] At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, there is provided a push button 31B that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation. An operation on push button 31B is detected by push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

[0111] In the pachinko game machine 1, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting actions (operations, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

[0112] (Overview of game progress) A game ball is shot toward the game area by a player's rotation operation to the ball hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1.例文帳に追加 When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately) , The normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (eg 4).

[0113] In this general pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern per pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern per pattern". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern lost pattern) other than the normal pattern per pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". When it becomes "per normal figure", open control is performed to make the variable winning ball device 6B open for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening becomes open).

[0114] When the game ball enters the first start winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

[0115] When the game ball enters the second starting winning hole formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

[0116] In addition, if the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during the execution of the special game or the period during which it is controlled to the jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (eg 4).

[0117] In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol varies depending on the type of the big hit described below) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a big hit symbol. If a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

[0118] After the display result in the special game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state as an advantageous state for the player.

[0119] In the jackpot game state, the jackpot opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is either the timing when a predetermined period of time (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) elapses, or the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It continues until an early timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the large winning slot can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit opening period. A cycle of 1 in which the big winning opening is in an open state is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

[0120] In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

[0121] In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, prepare multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning mouth, and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.), and set the jackpot type accordingly It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

[0122] After the jackpot game state is finished, depending on the jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a variable probability state.

[0123] In the time saving state, control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (period of changing the normal figure) than in the normal state, or by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of special symbols (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

[0124] In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time-saving control, the variable probability control in which the probability that the display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The variable probability state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols is improved, and in addition, a "big hit" is likely to occur, so it is a further advantageous state for the player.

[0125] The time saving state and the probability variable state continue until any one of the end conditions, such as the execution of the special figure game of a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit game state, is established first. The end condition that the special figure game of a predetermined number of times has been executed is also referred to as the number of times cut (number of times cut time reduction, number of times cut probability variation, etc.).

[0126] The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case where the system is reset, a predetermined return after power-on) This state is controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

[0127] The state in which probability variable control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which probability variable control is not executed is also called a low probability state. A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state. Combining these, the short-time state is also called a low-probability-high base state, the probability-variable state is a high-probability-high base state, and the normal state is a low-probability-low base state. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

[0128] In addition, the game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot game state. For example, when the game ball passes through the specific area, it may be controlled to the probability variable state after the big hit game state.

[0129] (Progress of production, etc.) In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notification of the progress of the game and livening up the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 , the movement of the movable body 32, or an effect using any effect device including part or all of these.

[0130] As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the "left", "middle", "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special game or the second 2 In response to the start of the special game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. In the first special game and the second special game, at the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns) that is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns ) is also stopped (derived).

[0131] During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end thereof, the form of the variable display of the decorative design may be a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed variably. It is the aspect that is continuing.

[0132] Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern) to the "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depends on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

[0133] When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decoration pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

[0134] In the case of a "variable probability big hit" that is controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game state, odd-numbered decorative patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed, and after the end of the jackpot game state, the probability variable state In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probable variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6", etc.) may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns, and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

[0135] When the display result of the special game is "lost", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" Also referred to as "non-reach loss".) may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of variable display of decorative patterns is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("no reach") that is not a big hit combination. ”) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be “out of reach”).

[0136] The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (suspended display or active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit in the variable display during execution, and a pre-reading notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit in the variable display before execution (variable display whose execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the display corresponding to variable display (suspended display or active display) to a mode different from normal may be executed.

[0137] In addition, in the image display device 5, the decoration pattern is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decoration pattern, and then the variable display is restarted, so that one variable display can be simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A pseudo continuous effect may be executed.

[0138] During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed.

[0139] Further, for example, when a special game or the like is not being executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

Command 8002H is a second variable display start command that specifies the start of variable display in the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. Command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle", and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of special patterns in the special game. It is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a pattern (also referred to as a production pattern). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value that is arbitrarily set according to the contents of instructions by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data are set according to the specified variation pattern.

[0178] Command 8CXXH is a variable display result specification command, and is an effect control command that specifies variable display results such as special symbols and decorative symbols. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. , Different EXT data is set according to the determination result (jackpot type determination result) as to which one of a plurality of types the jackpot type when the variable display result is "jackpot".

[0179] Among the variable display result specifying commands, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, command 8C00H is a first variable display result specifying command indicating a predetermined result that the variable display result will be "no". The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specification command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot A" and the jackpot type determination result. Command 8C02H is a third variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot B" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "probability variable jackpot C" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "non-probable variable jackpot" and the jackpot type determination result.

[0180] The command 8F00H is a symbol determination command that designates stop (determination) of variation of the decorative symbols in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of the image display device 5. Command 9000H is a power-on designation command that specifies that the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been cold-started (that the power was turned on while the clear switch 92 is being pressed (power-on with initialization)). Note that cold start refers to a state in which various processes of the gaming machine can be executed after initializing the data without restoring the data before the power is turned on when the power is turned on. . Command 9200H is a power failure recovery designation command that designates that the pachinko gaming machine has hot-started (that the power was turned on while the clear switch 92 was not pressed (power-on without initialization)). It should be noted that "hot start" refers to a state in which various processes of the gaming machine can be executed based on the backed-up data when the power is turned on. Since hot start does not involve initialization, it is also called power-on without initialization. The command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the game state specifying command, different EXT data is set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, the command 9500H is the first game state designation command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) where neither time saving control nor variable probability control is performed, and command 9501H is time saving control. It is a second game state designation command corresponding to the game state (low probability high base state, time saving state) where probability variation control is not performed while being performed. In addition, the command 9502H is the third game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high probability high base state, time reduction with probability variation state) in which both time saving control and probability variation control are performed. In addition, the probability variation state with time saving may simply be referred to as "probability variation state". The command 96XXH is an error designation command that designates that an error has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and that the error has been cancelled.

[0181] Command A0XXH is a winning start designation command (also referred to as “fanfare command”) for designating display of an effect image indicating the start of a big winning game. Command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is in an open state in the jackpot gaming state. The command A2XXH is a post-opening notification command for the large winning opening that notifies that the large winning opening changes from the open state to the closed state in the jackpot gaming state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command that designates the display of the effect image at the end of the jackpot game.

[0182] In the hit start designation command and hit end designation command, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result or the jackpot type determination result. . Alternatively, in the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command. . In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, for example, different EXT data is set corresponding to the number of rounds executed in the jackpot state described later (for example, "0" to "10"). .

[0183] The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed through (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) has occurred. It is a first start opening winning designation command that notifies that the first start condition for executing the special game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed through (entered) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) has occurred. , It is a second start opening winning designation command that notifies that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

[0184] Command C1XXH is a first reserved storage number notification command that notifies the first special figure reserved storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure reserved storage number. Command C2XXH is a second reserved storage number notification command that notifies the second special figure reserved storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure reserved storage number. The first pending memory number notification command is based on, for example, the game ball passing through (entering) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied, when the first starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied, when the second starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In addition, the 1st pending memory number notification command and the 2nd pending memory number notification command are when either the 1st start condition or the 2nd start condition is satisfied (when the number of pending memories is reduced), the special game It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like. Command E100H is a customer waiting demonstration specification command that specifies execution of a customer waiting demonstration (demonstration effect). Command F100H is a frame state display designation command that designates the state of each input port (including ON / OFF of touch ring 004SG35).

[0185] Instead of the first reserved storage number notification command and the second reserved storage number notification command, a total reserved storage number notification command for notifying the total reserved storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to report an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

[0186] Note that the commands shown in FIG. 3(A) are only examples, and some of these commands may be omitted, different commands may be used in place of these commands, or these commands may be replaced with different commands. You can add different commands from For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the game ball entering each prize hole, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 You may make it provide the notification command etc. which notify the notification command of passing, and the remaining variable display frequency by which probability variation control and time saving control are performed.

[0187] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 4, on the side of the main board 11, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for big hit type determination, the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, and the normal figure display result determination Numerical data representing each of the random number values ​​MR4 is controlled so as to be countable. Random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

[0188] The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data representing some or all of these random numbers MR1 ​​to MR4. The CPU 103, for example, using a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), by updating various numerical data by software, random numbers MR1 ​​to MR4 You may make it count the numerical data which show a part.

[0189] The random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a random number used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as the special figure in the special figure game as "big win" to the big win game state. Takes a value in the range "0" to "65536". Random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is one of "variable jackpot A", "jackpot B", "jackpot C", or "non-probability jackpot" when the variable display result is "jackpot". This is a random number used to determine the , and takes a value in the range of "0" to "100", for example.

[0190] The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols to one of a plurality of types prepared in advance, for example, "0" to " 997" range.

[0191] The random number MR4 for judging the result of normal pattern display is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal pattern display 20 in the normal pattern display is "win" or "lose the normal pattern". It is a random number that can be set, and takes a value in the range of “3” to “13”, for example.

[0192] FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. As shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, as the display result determination table, a common display result determination table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure. Separate display result determination tables may be used for the figure and the second special figure.

[0193] The display result determination table is determined to be a variable display result in a special game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A or a special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B Before the special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as "big hit" to the big hit game state is referred to for determining based on the random number MR1 for judging the special figure display result. is a table.

[0194] In the display result determination table, depending on whether the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a variable probability state (high probability state), random for special figure display result judgment A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the numerical value MR1 is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit" or "loss".

[0195] In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result is the determination result of whether or not to control the special figure display result as "big hit" to the big hit game state. It is data for judgment to be assigned. In the display result determination table, when the game state is a variable probability state (high probability state), more judgment values ​​than when it is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result of "big hit" assigned to. As a result, in the probability variable state (high probability state) in which the probability variable control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, the special figure display result is "big hit" when it is in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) Control to the big hit game state Then, compared to the determined probability (approximately 1 / 300 in the present embodiment), the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as "jackpot" to the jackpot gaming state becomes higher (approximately 1 in the present embodiment / 30). That is, in the display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the variable probability state (high probability state), the probability that it is determined to control to the jackpot game state compared to the normal state or time-saving state Judgment data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase.

[0196] FIG. 6(A) shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM101. The big hit type determination table in the present embodiment, when it is determined to control the special figure display result as "big hit" to the big hit gaming state, based on the random number MR2 for judging the big hit type, select any of a plurality of types of the big hit type. It is a table that is referenced to determine whether In the jackpot type determination table, the special symbol for which variable display (variable display) was performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second 2 Depending on whether it is a special game by the special symbol display device 4B, the numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number MR2 for judging the jackpot type is "non-probable variable jackpot", "probable variable jackpot A", " It is assigned to multiple types of jackpot types such as "variable big hit B" and "variable big hit C".

[0197] Here, the jackpot type in the present embodiment will be described using FIG. "Probability variation jackpot A", "probability variation jackpot B", "probability variation jackpot C" that shifts to a high probability high base state, and only time-saving control is executed after the end of the jackpot game state and shifts to a low probability high base state " Non-probability variable jackpot" is set.

[0198] The jackpot game state by the "probability variable jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which 10 rounds (so-called 10 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. On the other hand, the jackpot game state by the "probability variable jackpot B" is a normal open jackpot in which 5 rounds (so-called 5 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. . The jackpot game state by the "probability variable jackpot C" is a normal open jackpot in which two rounds (so-called two rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. In addition, the jackpot game state by the "non-probability variable jackpot" is a normal open jackpot in which five rounds (so-called five rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. . Therefore, "variable jackpot A" is called 10 rounds (10R) variable jackpot, "variable jackpot B" is called 5 rounds (5R) variable jackpot, and "variable jackpot C" is called 2 rounds (2R) variable jackpot. may be called.

[0199] The variable probability control and the time saving control that are started after the end of the big hit game state of the variable probability big hit A to the probability variable big hit C are ended on the condition that they are controlled to the big hit game state. In addition, the time-saving control that is started after the end of the jackpot game state of the non-probability variable jackpot is controlled to the jackpot game state by the end of the variable display of 100 times or by the end of the variable display of 100 times. terminated on the condition that Therefore, if the reoccurring big hit is any of the probability variable jackpot A to the probability variable jackpot C, the probability variable control and the time saving control are executed again after the jackpot game state ends, so the jackpot game state passes through the normal state. It becomes a so-called continuous state, which occurs continuously without In other words, the variable probability state in the present embodiment is a game state that continues until the variable display result becomes a big hit regardless of the number of variable display times, while the time saving state in the present embodiment is a game state in which the variable display result does not become a big hit. If not, it is a game state controlled to a normal state by executing variable display 100 times. For this reason, the time-saving state is also a game state that is controlled when the consecutive game state can end.

[0200] In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. B", "probable variable jackpot C", and "non-probable variable jackpot" are assigned different judgment values ​​for the jackpot types. That is, if the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, the judgment value in the predetermined range (the value in the range of "81" to "100") has a small number of rounds "variable jackpot B" or "variable probability While assigned to the jackpot type of "jackpot C", if the variable display special figure is the second special figure, the judgment value is assigned to the jackpot type of "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" Not done. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A. When the second special symbol display device 4B is used to start the special symbol game using the second special symbol When the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition And, the ratio of determining the jackpot type to the small number of rounds "probability variation jackpot B" or "probability variation jackpot C" can be made different. In particular, in the special game using the second special figure, it is not decided to control the jackpot type as "probable variable big hit B" or "probable variable big hit C" to a big hit state with a small number of rounds, so for example, it is associated with time saving control Due to high opening control, in a game state in which game balls are likely to enter the second starting prize opening formed by the variable prize ball device 6B, the frequent occurrence of a jackpot state in which the number of prize balls to be obtained is small is avoided, and the interest in the game is reduced. It is designed to prevent this from happening.

[0201] In addition, in the setting example of the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. Since it is the same regardless of whether it is a non-probable jackpot or a probability jackpot, it is the same regardless of whether it is the first special game or the second special game. ing.

[0202] Therefore, as described above, depending on whether the allocation of the judgment value for "probable variable big hit B" or "probable variable big hit C" is different depending on whether it is a special game of the first special figure or a second special figure In addition, the allocation of the judgment value for "variable jackpot A" also differs depending on whether it is the special game of the first special figure or the second special figure, and for "variable jackpot A" with many rounds, the second It is set to be easier to determine when it is a special game of special symbols than when it is a special game of the first special symbol.

[0203] In addition, even if it is a special game of the second special figure, the judgment value in a predetermined range different from that of the special game of the first special figure is the "variable big hit B" or "variable big hit C". You may make it assign to a classification. For example, in the case of the special game of the second special figure, the judgment value that is smaller than that of the special game of the first special figure is the big hit type of "probability variation big hit B" and "probability variation big hit C". may be assigned. Alternatively, regardless of whether it is a special game of the first special figure or a second special figure, the common table data may be referenced to determine the jackpot type.

[0204] FIG. 7 shows variation patterns in this embodiment. In the present embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is "missing", the variable A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the display result is a "big hit". In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Also, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern.

[0205] The jackpot variation pattern and reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed and a super reach variation pattern in which a super reach reach effect is executed. Although one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. In addition, in the present embodiment, three types of variation patterns are provided as super reach variation patterns: super reach (no pseudo run), super reach (one pseudo run), and super reach (two pseudo runs). The present invention is not limited to this, and four or more or two or less super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided.

[0206] In addition, the super reach variation pattern in the present embodiment is a variation pattern (PA2-2) in which the variable display result is a big hit as a variation pattern of super reach (no pseudo run), and the variation pattern (PB1-2) is different. As a variation pattern of super reach (1 pseudo run), a variation pattern (PB1-3) where the variable display result is a big hit, and a variation pattern (PA2-3) where the result is a big hit, as a variation pattern of super reach (2 pseudo runs) There are provided a variation pattern (PB1-4) in which the variable display result is a big hit and a variation pattern (PA2-4) in which it is not.

[0207] As shown in FIG. 7, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in the present embodiment is executed is set shorter than the super reach fluctuation pattern.

[0208] In addition, in the present embodiment, since the variable display result is set in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach so that the degree of expectation for a big hit becomes "big hit", in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern The longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

[0209] Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, these variation patterns are determined using only the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. , For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the type of variation pattern is provided, and the type of variation pattern is first determined from the random value for determining the type of variation pattern, and then the A variation pattern belonging to the determined type may be determined.

[0210] FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of a method of determining a variation pattern according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the variation pattern determination table to be selected is changed according to the display result of the variable display to be executed, the number of reserved memories, the game state, and the like.

[0211] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when the variable display result is a non-probable variable jackpot, select the jackpot variation pattern determination table A, and use the jackpot variation pattern determination table A to determine the variation pattern PB1. -1 (variation pattern of normal reach jackpot), PB1-2 (variation pattern of super reach (no pseudo consecutive production) jackpot), PB1-3 (variation pattern of super reach (one pseudo consecutive production) jackpot), PB1-4 Determined from (super reach (2 times of pseudo continuous production) variation pattern of big hit). More specifically, in the big hit variation pattern determination table A, PB1-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 20%, and PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 35%. , PB1-4 at a rate of 40%.

[0212] Also, if the variable display results are probability variable jackpots A to C, select the jackpot variation pattern determination table B, and use the jackpot variation pattern determination table B to set the variation pattern to PB1-1 (normal reach jackpot variation pattern ), PB1-2 (super reach (no pseudo-continuous effect) jackpot variation pattern), PB1-3 (super reach (pseudo-continuous effect 1 time) jackpot variation pattern), PB1-4 (super reach (pseudo-continuous effect 2) It is determined from the number of times) the variation pattern of the jackpot). More specifically, in the big hit variation pattern determination table B, PB1-2 is determined at a rate of 10%, PB1-3 is determined at a rate of 20%, and PB1-4 is determined at a rate of 70% .

[0213] In addition, if the game state is a low base state (normal state), the variable display result is lost and the number of pending memories of the variation special figure is 1 or less, select the variation pattern determination table A for loss, and the loss Using the fluctuation pattern determination table A, the fluctuation pattern is PA1-1 (no shortening non-reach fluctuation pattern), PA2-1 (normal reach fluctuation), PA2-2 (super reach (no pseudo continuous effect) fluctuation pattern ), PA2-3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach (one pseudo-continuous effect)), and PA2-4 (fluctuation pattern of super reach (twice pseudo-continuous effect)). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation A, PA1-1 is determined at a rate of 50%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 40%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 5%. , PA2-3 at a rate of 3% and PA2-4 at a rate of 2%.

[0214] Also, if the game state is a low base state (normal state), the variable display result is lost and the number of pending memories of the variation special figure is 2, select the variation pattern determination table B for loss, and for the loss Using the fluctuation pattern determination table B, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-2 (variation pattern of short non-reach loss), PA2-1 (normal reach loss), PA2-2 (super reach (no pseudo continuous effect) fluctuation pattern of loss), It is determined from PA2-3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach (one-time pseudo-continuous effect)) and PA2-4 (fluctuation pattern of super reach (two-time pseudo-continuous effect)). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation B, PA1-2 is determined at a rate of 60%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 5%. , PA2-3 at a rate of 3% and PA2-4 at a rate of 2%.

[0215] Also, if the game state is a low base state (normal state), the variable display result is lost and the number of pending memories of the variation special figure is 3, select the variation pattern determination table C for loss, and for the loss Using the fluctuation pattern determination table C, the fluctuation patterns are PA1-3 (variation pattern of shortened non-reach loss), PA2-1 (normal reach loss), PA2-2 (super reach (no pseudo continuous effect) fluctuation pattern of loss), It is determined from PA2-3 (fluctuation pattern of super reach (one-time pseudo-continuous effect)) and PA2-4 (fluctuation pattern of super reach (two-time pseudo-continuous effect)). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation C, PA1-3 is determined at a rate of 70%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 20%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 5%. , PA2-3 at a rate of 3% and PA2-4 at a rate of 2%.

[0216] Also, if the gaming state is a high base state (time saving state or probability variable state), select the variation pattern determination table D for loss, and change the variation pattern using the variation pattern determination table D for loss PA1-3 (shortened Variation pattern of non-reach loss), PA2-1 (normal reach loss), PA2-2 (variation pattern of super reach (no pseudo-continuous effect) loss), PA2-3 (fluctuation of super reach (1 pseudo-continuous effect) loss pattern), and PA2-4 (super reach (pseudo continuous effect 2 times) fluctuation pattern). More specifically, in the variation pattern determination table for deviation C, PA1-3 is determined at a rate of 80%, PA2-1 is determined at a rate of 10%, and PA2-2 is determined at a rate of 5%. , PA2-3 at a rate of 3% and PA2-4 at a rate of 2%.

[0217] In addition, in the present embodiment, when the variable display result is a big hit, the variation pattern is determined according to the type of the big win. The selection ratio of any one of the variation patterns (PB1-1 to PB1-4) for the big win may be varied according to, for example, the gaming state, regardless of the type of the big win. By doing so, the variable display is performed in a variation pattern suitable for the game state, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

[0218] The RAM 102 provided in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 may be a backup RAM partially or wholly backed up by a backup power supply created on a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, the contents of part or all of the RAM 102 are preserved for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply becomes unable to supply power). be. In particular, at least the game state, that is, the data corresponding to the control state of the game control means (special figure process flag, etc.) and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls may be saved in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the game is restored after a power failure or the like. Data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress of the game.

[0219] Such a RAM 102 is provided with a game control data holding area 004SG150 as shown in, for example, FIG. there is The game control data holding area 004SG150 shown in FIG. It has a control timer setting section 004SG153, a game control counter setting section 004SG154, and a game control buffer setting section 004SG155.

[0220] The first special figure reservation storage unit 004SG151A is a special feature that has not yet started although the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the start winning (first starting winning) has occurred.

[0238] In this embodiment, the data constituting the reception command buffer 004SG194A at the time of start winning as shown in FIG. In the start winning command buffer 004SG194A, the storage area corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved memories of the first special figure reserved memory (buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4" Corresponding area) and a storage area corresponding to the first special figure being variably displayed (area corresponding to the buffer number "1-0") are provided. In addition, in the start winning command buffer 004SG194A, the storage area (buffer number "2-1" to "2-4 ”) and a storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) corresponding to the second special figure being variably displayed. When there is a start prize to the 1st start prize mouth or the 2nd start prize mouth, the start mouth prize designation command (1st start mouth prize designation command or 2nd start mouth prize designation command) and the pending memory number notification command (second start mouth prize designation command) 1 pending memory number notification command or second pending memory number notification command) is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set.

Therefore, the buffer number "0" becomes an area (entry) for storing each command related to the pending storage that is variably displayed at that time.

[0242] (motion) Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

[0243] (Major operations of the main board 11) First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes the game control main process. FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11. As shown in FIG.

[0244] In the game control main process shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Next, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). The initial settings include stack pointer settings, internal device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port, etc.) register settings, and settings to make the RAM 102 accessible.

[0245] Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is in the OFF state, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if the clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed down, the ON state clear signal is input to the game control microcomputer 100. If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not satisfied. The backup data may be stored in the RAM 102, which serves as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery condition can be established.

[0246] If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), after executing the restoration process (step S4), the random number circuit setting process (step S8) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if the pattern variation can be restarted.

[0247] If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the random number circuit setting process (step S8) is executed after the initialization process (step S6). The initialization processing in step S6 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values ​​are set in the work area by executing the clear processing.

[0248] After executing the random number circuit setting process (step S8), the CPU 103 sets the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 so that a timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2ms). (step S9), and allow interrupts (step S10). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

[0249] CPU103 which has executed such a game control main process, when receiving an interrupt request signal from CTC and accepts an interrupt request, executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 12 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, and the gate switch 21 through the switch circuit 110, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined main-side error process, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.) supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, start information (start Information indicating the number of winning prizes, etc.), probability variation information (information indicating the number of times the probability variation state, etc.) and other data are output (step S23).

[0250] Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt by the CPU 103, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the big hit game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

[0251] Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). CPU103 by executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball through the passage gate 41) management of execution and suspension of the normal symbol game, It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal figure hit". Execution of the general pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and displays the general pattern reservation number by lighting the general pattern reservation display device 25C.

[0252] After executing the normal symbol process processing, as part of the game control timer interrupt processing, processing when power failure occurs, processing for paying out prize balls, and the like may be performed. After that, CPU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may be set to transmit an effect control command in each of the processes described above. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, after permitting the interrupt, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

[0253] (Special pattern process processing) FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 12 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process processing, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning judgment processing (step S101).

[0254] In the starting winning determination process, the process of detecting the occurrence of starting winning, storing the pending information in a predetermined area of ​​the RAM 102, and updating the number of pending memories is executed. When the starting winning a prize occurs, a random value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of pre-reading and judging the display result and the variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of starting winning set to be transmitted in this manner is, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed, by executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

[0255] After executing the start winning determination process in step S101, the CPU103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S117 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S117) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

[0256] The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special game or the second special game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before it is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a losing symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, in the present embodiment, the special game using the second special figure is preferentially executed over the special game using the first special figure (also called special figure 2 priority digestion ). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special figure game may be established in the winning order (also called winning order digestion).

[0257] When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in ROM 101 (tables in which decision values ​​to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions in the main board 11, various decisions in the production control board 12 are the same. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM121.

[0258] The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It is included. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

[0259] The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative pattern), the form of variable display of the decorative pattern (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative pattern. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

[0260] The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes the processing of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

[0261] The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special design stop processing, the first special design display device 4A and the second special design display device 4B stop the fluctuation of the special design, and the fixed special design that is the display result of the special design is stopped and displayed (derived). It includes a process to set for And, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled in the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

[0262] The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is "jackpot". is When the large winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are finished, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is finished.

[0263] The process during the jackpot opening of step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time since the big win opening is opened, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

[0264] The jackpot open post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions, and processing for judging whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot opening post-processing ends.

[0265] The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot end processing ends.

[0266] (Start winning judgment process) FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing the starting winning determination process (S101) shown in FIG. In the starting winning judgment process, the CPU 103 first turns on the first starting opening switch 22A based on the detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. (004SGS101). At this time, if the first start switch 22A is on (004SGS101; Y), the first special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number) (004SGS102). CPU103, for example by reading the first reserved memory number count value is the stored value of the first reserved memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 004SG154, it is sufficient if it is possible to specify the first special figure reserved memory number. In 004SGS102 when the first special figure pending memory number is not the upper limit (004SGS102; N), for example, the storage value of the starting mouth buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 004SG155 is set to "0" (004SGS103) .

[0267] When the first start switch 22A is off at 004SGS101 (004SGS101; N), and when the number of the first special figure reservation memory reaches the upper limit at 004SGS102 (004SGS102; Y), the variable winning ball device 6B Based on the detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by, it is determined whether the second starting opening switch 22B is on (004SGS104). At this time, if the second starting port switch 22B is on (004SGS104; Y), the second special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value ( For example, it is determined whether or not "4" as the upper limit storage number) (004SGS105). CPU103, for example by reading the second reservation storage number count value is the stored value of the second reservation storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 004SG154, it is sufficient to be able to identify the second special figure reservation storage number. In 004SGS105 when the number of second special figure pending storage is not the upper limit (004SGS105; N), for example, the storage value of the starting mouth buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 004SG155 is set to "2" (004SGS106) .

[0268] After executing either of the processing of 004SGS103, 004SGS106, it is updated so as to add 1 to the number of special figure pending storage corresponding to the starting mouth buffer value which is the stored value of the starting mouth buffer (004SGS107). For example, when the start buffer value is "0", 1 is added to the first reserved storage number count value, and when the start buffer value is "2", 1 is added to the second reserved storage number count value. Thus, the first reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special game using the first special figure is established. Updated to increase. In addition, the second pending memory number count value is 1 when the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is established by the game ball passing (entering) the second start winning opening. Updated to increase. At this time, the total reserved storage number is also updated by adding 1 (004SGS108). For example, the total pending memory number count value, which is the stored value of the total pending memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 004SG154, may be updated so as to add 1.

[0269] After executing the process of 004SGS108, the CPU103, from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit 004SG154, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination and the jackpot type determination Random value MR2 of the variable pattern determination random value MR3 is extracted (004SGS109). Numerical data indicating each random value extracted in this way and the starting port buffer value are stored by being set as pending information at the beginning of the empty entry in the special figure pending storage unit (004SGS110).

[0270] Numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for judging the result of special display and the random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot determines whether or not the variable display result of the special pattern or decorative pattern is a "jackpot", and whether the variable display result is It is used to determine the jackpot type in the case of "jackpot". The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbols and decorative symbols. CPU103, by executing the processing of 004SGS109, extracts the numerical data indicating all of the random numbers used for the determination of the variable display mode including the variable display result of the special design and decorative design and the variable display time.

[0271] Following the processing of 004SGS110, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (004SGS111). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "0", the storage address of the first starting opening winning designation command table in ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. Set to send the 1st starting entrance winning designation command to 12. On the other hand, when the starting mouth buffer value is "2", by storing the storage address of the second starting mouth winning designation command table in ROM 101 in the buffer area of ​​the transmission command buffer, etc. Make settings for sending the 2nd start winning prize designation command. The start opening winning designation command set in this way is, for example, after the special symbol process processing is completed, such as by executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

[0272] CPU103, following the processing of 004SGS111, for example by storing the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in ROM101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, to the effect control board 12 Make settings for sending the pending storage count notification command (004SGS113). Reservation storage number notification command set in this way, for example after the special symbol process processing is completed, such as by executing the command control processing of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

[0273] After executing the processing of 004SGS113, it is determined whether or not the start buffer value is "0" (004SGS114). At this time, if the starting buffer value is "0" (Y at 004SGS114), clear the starting buffer and initialize the stored value to "0" (004SGS115), then proceed to the processing of 2390SGS104. On the other hand, when the starting buffer value is "2" (N at 004SGS114), clear the starting buffer and initialize the stored value to "0" (004SGS116), then start the winning process. finish. As a result, even if both the first starter switch 22A and the second starter switch 22B simultaneously detect the effective starting winning of the game ball, the processing based on the detection of both effective starting winnings can be completed.

[0274] (Special symbol normal processing) FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in S110 of FIG. 13 as the special symbol normal process. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special symbol pending storage number is "0" (step 004SGS141). The second special symbol pending memory number is the number of pending memory of the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step 004SGS141, it is sufficient to read the second reservation storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting unit, and determine whether or not the read value is "0".

[0275] At step 004SGS141, when the second special figure pending storage number is other than "0" (step 004SGS141; N), the second special figure pending storage unit holds data stored corresponding to the holding number "0" As, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for big hit type determination, and the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination are read out (step 004SGS142). The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

[0276] Subsequent to the processing of step 004SGS142, subtract 1 from the second special figure pending memory number and the total pending memory number by subtracting 1 from the second special figure pending memory number count value and the total pending memory number count value and updating it Update to let it, and update the data in the second special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 ​​to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "0" in the second special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward by one entry (step 004SGS143).

[0277] After that, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "2" (step 004SGS144), it moves to step 004SGS149.

[0278] On the other hand, when the second special figure pending storage number is "0" at step 004SGS141 (step 004SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure pending storage number is "0" (step 004SGS145) . The first special symbol pending memory number is the number of pending memory of the special symbol game using the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 004SGS145, read the first reserved memory number count value stored in the first reserved memory number counter in the game control counter setting unit, if it is determined whether the read value is "0" good. Thus, the processing of step 004SGS145 is executed when it is determined that the second special figure pending storage number is "0" at step 004SGS141, and the first special figure pending storage number is "0". Determine whether or not As a result, the execution of the special game using the second special figure is started with priority over the special game using the first special figure.

[0279] In addition, the special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure, for example, the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening The execution of the special f...
