The symbol display unit 40 is provided with a plurality of LEDs, and a combination of these LEDs constitutes a universal symbol display unit, a special symbol reservation display unit, a normal symbol display unit, and a special symbol display unit.

  The general symbol hold display unit displays the number of normal symbols held so that the number of game balls that have passed through the normal symbol operation gate 27 during normal symbol variation can be held up to the maximum number of holds (four in this embodiment). . Each time the next normal symbol success / failure determination is performed and the variation display of the normal symbol is started, the number of unstarted times (holding number) is digested, and the normal symbol holding number is decreased by one. The special figure hold display unit displays the number of special symbols held so that the number of game balls that have entered the start port 28 during the special symbol change can be held up to the maximum number of holds (four in this embodiment). As for the number of special symbol reservations, the number of unstarted times (the number of reservations) is digested every time the next special symbol determination is made and the variation display of the special symbol is started, and the number of special symbol reservations decreases by one.

  In the normal symbol display section, normal symbol variation display and stop display are performed. In the normal symbol display portion, the normal symbol starts to change as the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 27, and after a predetermined time has passed, the normal symbol hits and is stopped and displayed in the normal symbol display mode or the off-normal symbol display mode. The Then, when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in the preset normal symbol display mode, the lower start port 28b (ordinary electric accessory) is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 second).

  In this embodiment, a random number for determining whether or not a normal symbol is provided is prepared, and it is determined whether or not the lower start port (ordinary electric accessory) 28b is to be operated when a game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 27. It is used for symbol success / failure determination. The normal symbol success / failure random number is set in advance with a hit value, and the normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquired at the timing when the game ball passes the normal symbol operation gate 27 matches the win value. Determined. When it is determined that the winning symbol is a hit, the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display unit is determined as the display mode of the winning normal symbol. On the other hand, when it is determined to be out of place, the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed in the normal symbol display section is determined as the display mode of the out of normal symbol. Note that the normal symbol success / failure determination and the normal symbol stop symbol determination are performed by a CPU of the main control board 200 described later.

  In the special symbol display section, special symbol variation display and stop display are performed. The special symbol of the present embodiment includes a special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit of the symbol display device 40 (hereinafter also referred to as “main symbol”) and a pseudo special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “design symbol display”). It is also called “pseudo symbol”.) The pseudo symbol will be described later.

  In the special symbol display section, the symbol starts to change as the game ball passes through the start port 28, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the symbol is stopped and displayed as a combination of a big hit symbol or a combination of missed symbols. In this embodiment, a special symbol success / failure determination random number is prepared. The random number for determining whether or not a special symbol is used is used for determining whether or not a special game state is to be generated when a game ball enters the start port 28. Specifically, the special symbol success / failure determination random number is set in advance with a winning / failure determination hit value, and the special symbol success / failure determination random number acquired at the timing when the game ball enters the start port 28 is hit. If it matches the value, it is determined to be a hit. Then, when it is determined that the winning is achieved, the symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit is determined to be one of the combinations of the jackpot symbols. On the other hand, when it is determined that the symbol is off, the symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit is determined to be a combination of the above symbols. The special symbol success / failure determination, the determination of the variation pattern of the main symbol, and the determination of the stop symbol of the main symbol are performed by a CPU of the main control board 200 described later.

  When the combination of the main symbols displayed on the special symbol display unit is a combination of jackpot symbols, the CPU of the main control board 200 generates a special gaming state that is relatively advantageous to the player. During the occurrence of the special game state, the big prize device 33 is operated, and a profit is given to the player with respect to the entry of the game ball into the big prize port 33a. Specifically, when the special gaming state occurs, the special winning device (special electric accessory) 33 is continuously operated, and the special winning opening 33a is continuously opened. With the start of operation of the special winning device 33 (start of the special gaming state), the special winning opening 33a is opened to enter a gaming ball receiving state. This game ball receiving state is ended when a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and the open big winning opening 33a is closed. As a predetermined end condition, when the opening time of the big winning opening 33a after the start of the game ball receiving state reaches a predetermined time (30 seconds in this embodiment) or after the start of the gaming ball receiving state, When the number of game balls that have entered the ball reaches a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment).

  In the case where one round is from the start to the end of the game ball receiving state, the special game state ends when the predetermined round ends. In the big winning device 33, after a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) has passed since the game ball receiving state is finished, the big winning port 33a is opened to enter the game ball receiving state again, and the next round starts. . The game ball accepting state in which one round is from the start to the end is repeatedly continued until a predetermined maximum number of continuous rounds (15 rounds in this embodiment) is completed.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, after the special gaming state is finished, a specific game (so-called time-short game and probability variable game) in which the variable time shortening function, the open time extending function, and the probability varying function are started.

  When this symbol is displayed as a normal big hit symbol, after the special game state is finished, the fluctuation time shortening function and the opening time of the lower entrance (ordinary electric accessory) 28b as the starting port (lower starting port) The extended open time function is activated. The variable time shortening function and the open time extending function are performed under the control of the CPU of the main control board 200. The variable time shortening function includes a normal symbol varying time shortening function for shortening the normal symbol varying time and a special symbol. A special symbol variation time shortening function that shortens the variation time is included. Fluctuation time shortening function and opening time extension function are activated until the next special game state occurs after the end of the special game state, or until the number of changes of the symbol reaches a predetermined number (100 in this example). To do.

  When this symbol is stopped and displayed with a probable big hit symbol, after the special gaming state ends, the probability variation function is activated to enter a probability variation state. The probability variation state is realized by the control of the CPU of the main control board 200. In this probability variation state, in addition to the variation time shortening function and the open time extension function, the probability of the special symbol success / failure determination, that is, the special symbol The probability variation function that changes (improves) the probability of stopping and displaying with a big hit symbol is activated. The probability variation function operates after the special gaming state is finished until the next special gaming state occurs or until the number of variations of this symbol reaches a predetermined number (10000 in this example). The main control unit 200 has a function as probability changing means for operating the probability changing function.

  In this embodiment, in addition to the probability variation function (probability variation), a specific probability variation function (hereinafter also referred to as “specific probability variation”) is prepared. The specific probability variation state is realized by the control of the CPU of the main control board 200, and occurs when the symbol is stopped and displayed with the specific probability variation big hit symbol. When the specific probability change occurs, the number of rounds in the special gaming state is less than in the case where the probability change occurs, and the opening time of the special winning opening 33a in the special gaming state is shorter. In the present embodiment, when a specific probability change occurs, the number of rounds in the special game state is two rounds, and the opening time of the special winning opening 33a is 0.2 seconds. In the specific probability change, the special game state is completed in a short time, and the probability change state occurs with almost no prize balls. Specific probability variation is also referred to as “sudden probability variation” or “two-round probability variation”.

  Next, the pseudo symbols displayed on the effect display device 25 will be described. FIG. 3 shows a screen display example of the effect display device 25. As shown in FIG. 3A, on the screen of the effect display device 25, the left symbol display area 25a where the left symbol is displayed, the middle symbol display area 25b where the middle symbol is displayed, and the right where the right symbol is displayed. Three symbol display areas each including a symbol display area 25c are provided. Each of the symbol display areas 25a to 25c is set in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the arrangement direction of these display areas, in this case, in the vertical direction (vertical direction). Each symbol display area can display symbols consisting of “1” to “9”. The pseudo symbol starts to be displayed when the display of the main symbol is changed. In conjunction with the stop display of the main symbol, the pseudo symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol corresponding to the main symbol to be stopped.

  In the pseudo-design, the combination of even symbols with the same three digits corresponds to the normal big hit symbol of this symbol, and the odd symbol combination with the same three digits corresponds to the probability big hit symbol of this symbol, such as “1, 2, 3”, etc. The combinations of the above-mentioned order correspond to the specific probability variation jackpot symbol of the present symbol, and the combinations of symbols other than these correspond to the out-of-sequence symbols of the present symbol. The pseudo-pattern variation mode and the stop pattern are determined by the CPU of the sub-control board 260 based on a command transmitted from the CPU of the main control board 200.

  Further, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, a mission mode in which a mission effect (command effect) is performed is set. The mission effect is configured so that a player can obtain a profit when a specific condition (mission) is presented and the specific condition is achieved.

  In the mission effect, an effect of notifying the player of the command content to be executed within a predetermined period is performed. When the command content is executed within a predetermined period (when the specific condition is satisfied), the special symbol is stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol, and a special gaming state is generated. However, it is known in advance that the CPU of the main control board 200 does not generate a special gaming state on the condition that the command content is executed, but the determination of success or failure is a hit and the special symbol is stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol. If there is an effect, the effect is as if the command content was executed.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the command content of the mission effect includes an effect mode in which, for example, the effect display device 25 displays “Stop the right symbol with 3 within 3 minutes!”. In this case, when the pseudo symbol displayed in the right symbol display area 25c of the effect display device 25 is stopped and displayed at “3” within 3 minutes, the command content is achieved and a special gaming state occurs. The mission effect is realized by repeatedly executing a mission effect process by a CPU of the sub-control board 260 described later.

  At this time, with the start of the mission effect, the display area of the effect display device 25 displays a specific condition (mission) “Stop the right symbol at 3 within 3 minutes!” The initial display is “3:00: 00”, and countdown display is performed in which the display time gradually decreases as the mission effect progresses. Thereby, the player can recognize the remaining stay time in the mission mode, and can improve the interest.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the game mode A is not started (S901: NO), it is determined whether or not the game mode B is started (S904). The game mode B is a game state in which a probability variation game is executed. As a result, when it is determined that the game mode B is started (S904: YES), the movable accessory device 50 is set to the second display mode. Specifically, the motor 61 is driven and controlled to rotate the rotating body 51 so that the second game mode display unit 53 moves to the front side (S905). Then, the red LED 56 of the LED substrate 55 is turned on (S906). Thereby, the movable accessory device 50 becomes the second display mode (see FIG. 4B), the 7-segment display unit 58 becomes invisible to the player, and the second of the rotating body 51 irradiated by the red LED 56. The game mode display unit 53 can be visually recognized, and the player can recognize that it is the second game mode.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the game mode B is not started (S904: NO), it is determined whether or not the game mode C is started (S907). The game mode C is a game state in which a normal game or a special game is executed. As a result, when it is determined that the game mode C is started (S907: YES), the movable accessory device 50 is set to the third display mode. Specifically, the motor 61 is driven and controlled to rotate the rotator 51 so that the third game mode display unit 54 moves to the front side (S908). Then, the blue LED 57 on the LED substrate 55 is turned on (S909). Thereby, the movable accessory device 50 becomes the third display mode (see FIG. 4C), the 7-segment display unit 58 becomes invisible to the player, and the third of the rotating body 51 irradiated by the blue LED 57. The game mode display unit 54 can be visually recognized, and the player can recognize that it is the third game mode.

  As described above, according to the movable accessory device 50 of the present embodiment, in the first game mode, the symbols by the LED board 55 arranged inside the rotating body 51 can be visually recognized from the outside, and the second and second In the 3 game mode, the light from the LEDs 56 and 57 of the LED board 55 is irradiated to the second and third game mode display parts 53 and 54, so that the symbols by the LED board 55 cannot be visually recognized from the outside. . Thereby, in 1st game mode, the effect using the symbol display by the LED board 55 arrange | positioned inside the rotary body 51 can be performed, and LED56,57 of the LED board 55 can be performed in 2nd and 3rd game mode. The game state can be recognized by the player using the surface of the rotating body 51 irradiated by the above, and different rendering modes can be realized in a plurality of game states.

  Further, according to the movable accessory device 50 of the present embodiment, a novel effect can be performed by combining the rotation of the rotating body 51 and the light emission of the LEDs 55 and 56 of the LED substrate 55.
