  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a configuration of a gaming board of a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  A center case 3 having a display device 8 is disposed substantially above the center of the game area 2 of the game board 1. In the display area of the display device 8, a first display area 801 (first variation display means) for playing a first variation display game on the left side in the figure and a second variation display game on the right side in the figure. A second display area 802 (second variation display means) is formed. The display device 8 is composed of an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like and is provided integrally with the center case 3.

  A first start port 4 for starting the first variable display game is disposed below the left side of the center case 3, and a second display area 802 is provided immediately below the first start port 4. As a result of the second variable display game, a second variable prize device 7 (second big prize opening) that is opened and closed when a jackpot game is played is arranged.

  On the other hand, a second start port 5 for starting the second variable display game is formed at the lower right side of the center case 3, and a first display area 801 is formed immediately below the second start port 5. As a result of the first variable display game to be performed, a first variable prize winning device 6 (first big prize opening) that is opened and closed when a jackpot game is played is arranged.

  A special symbol start memory display 9 for displaying the start memory number won in the first start port 4 and the second start port 5 is arranged at the lower part of the center case 3. This start memory display device 9 displays a special figure 1 start prize memory display 91 for displaying the start memory number won in the first start port 4 and a special chart 2 for displaying the start memory number won in the second start port 5. It is composed of a start winning memory display 92.

  Special figure 1 start winning memory display 91 lights up the number of the upward triangles corresponding to the number of start memories in the figure, so that the number of start memories (first start memory) based on the winning to the first start port 4 is obtained. Similarly, the special figure 2 start winning memory display 92 lights up the number of triangles pointing downward corresponding to the start memory in the figure so that the number of start memories (second start memory) in the second start port 5 is displayed. Is displayed. The special symbol start memory display 9 stores the first and second start memories won in the first and second start ports 4 and 5 with a predetermined maximum value (for example, 4) as an upper limit, and is turned on by lighting. indicate.

  The display device 8 arranged on the upper part of the center case 3 displays, for example, three display symbols (identification information) on the first display area 801 and the second display area 802, for example, left, middle, and right. For example, numerals and characters are assigned to these display symbols.

  When a game ball wins at the first start opening 4, a variable display game in which the display symbols composed of the numbers and characters described above are displayed in order is executed in the first display area 801. When the first start opening 4 is won at a predetermined timing (specifically, when the special symbol random number counter value at the time of winning detection is a winning value), the first variable display game is in a big hit state (First special gaming state), and stops in a state where three display symbols are aligned (a jackpot symbol). At this time, a first predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses in the first variable winning device 6 or the first count sensor 83 (see FIG. 2) provided in the first variable winning device 6 receives a predetermined winning. The first special game that allows a large number of game balls to be executed is performed by opening the door until the number of balls (for example, 10) is detected and performing this opening / closing operation for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times). To do.

  Similarly, when a game ball is won at the second start opening 5, a variable display game in which the display symbols composed of the above-described numbers and characters are displayed in order in the second display area 802. When the second start opening 5 is won at a predetermined timing, the second variable display game becomes a big hit state (second special game state), and stops in a state where three display symbols are aligned (big hit symbol) To do. At this time, the second variable winning device 7 is opened only once until a second predetermined time (for example, 1.8 seconds) elapses, and a second special game that can acquire many game balls is executed.

  In addition, if the second variable display game is a big hit during the first jackpot game, the second variable winning device 7 is set to the second variable during the wait period (closed period) of the first variable winning device 6 as described above. By releasing once for a predetermined time (for example, 1.8 seconds), two jackpot games can be realized alternately during the jackpot game.

  Also, if the first variable display game is a big hit during the second jackpot game, the second variable winning device 7 is opened and closed once as described later (after the second jackpot game is executed). ), The first jackpot game is executed by the first variable winning device 6 having the predetermined number of rounds as described above.

  FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram showing a control system centered on the game control device 100.

  The game control device 100 is a main control device that comprehensively controls games, a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores invariant information for game control, and a RAM that is used as a work area during game control Is composed of a gaming microcomputer 101, an input interface 102, an output interface 103, and the like.

  The gaming microcomputer 101 is connected to various detection devices (special figure 1 start sensor 81, special figure 2 start sensor 82, first count sensor 83, second count sensor 84, general winning mouth sensor (game board surface) via an input interface 102. In response to the detection signal from (), a lottery lottery and the like are performed. The special figure 1 start sensor 81 detects a winning ball to the first start port 4, and similarly, the special figure 2 start sensor 82 detects a win ball to the second start port 5.

  Then, via the output interface 103, various control devices (production control device 150, discharge control device 200), special figure 1 start winning memory display 91, special figure 2 start winning memory display 92, first variable winning apparatus 6 A command signal is transmitted to the large winning opening 1 solenoid 93 for driving the opening / closing operation, the large winning opening 2 solenoid 94 for opening / closing the second variable winning apparatus 7, and the game is controlled in an integrated manner. In addition, the board external information transmits information related to the game such as a jackpot signal and stop timing of the variable display game to a management device (not shown) of the game hall.

  The discharge control device 200 controls the operation of the payout unit on the basis of a prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or a ball rental request from a card ball rental unit (not shown) to cause the prize ball or the ball to be discharged. .

  The effect control device 150 performs display on the display device 8 and control of the sound control device 300 and the decoration control device 250 based on a command from the game control device 100.

  The decoration control device 250 controls a decoration light emitting device such as a decoration lamp or LED disposed in the gaming machine or the game board 1 based on a decoration command signal from the game control device 100.

The sound control device 300 controls sound effect output from a speaker (not shown).
Communication from the game control device 100 to various subordinate control devices (the effect control device 150, the discharge control device 200, the decoration control device 250, and the sound control device 300) is unidirectional from the game control device 100 to the subordinate control device. Only communication is allowed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an illegal signal from being input to the game control device 100 from the dependent control device side.

  The effect control device 150 includes a CPU 151, a ROM 152, a RAM 153, an interface 155, a GDP (graphic display processor) 156, an image ROM 157 storing image data (design data, background image data, moving image character data, etc.), and the like. .

  The CPU 151 creates screen information (symbol display information, background screen information, video character screen information, etc.) based on a signal from the game control device 100 and stores it in the RAM 153. This screen information is transferred to the GDP 156 at the timing of the vertical synchronization interrupt.

  Based on this image information, the GDP 156 takes in the corresponding image data in the image ROM 157, performs horizontal scanning and vertical scanning on the screen of the display device 8, and performs predetermined image display (drawing).

  The image ROM 157 stores data for each symbol used in the variable display game and data for effect display such as backgrounds and characters.

  FIG. 3 shows a main flowchart of game control executed by the game control device 100. After the power to the gaming machine is turned on, the initialization process is executed by the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3A, and then a timer interrupt occurs every predetermined time period, for example, 1 msec. The processing program shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  When the power to the gaming machine is turned on, the initialization process of S101 shown in FIG. 3A is executed. In this initialization process, the RAM and I / O of the gaming microcomputer 101 are initialized. This initialization is performed, for example, by initializing the jackpot random number initial value counter in a predetermined area of the RAM, setting the jackpot random number counter, sending a reset command to the subordinate control device, and then performing normal interrupt processing ( In order to activate FIG. 3 (B)), an interrupt timer is set and the interrupt is permitted.

  Thereafter, when updating the jackpot random number by adding a predetermined value (for example, 1) to the jackpot random number, an initial value of the jackpot random number initial value counter that is newly used after one round of the jackpot random number is generated. Similarly, the stirring random number update process for generating initial values of various random numbers such as reach random numbers is repeatedly executed.

  Next, the process of FIG. 3B executed by the game control apparatus 100 by a timer interrupt that occurs at a predetermined cycle will be described.

  First, in S111, interrupt prohibition setting and register saving processing are performed, and in S112, input processing is performed. This input process is a process of performing input processing such as chattering removal on signals from various sensors and switches input via the input interface 102 to determine input information.

  In S113, output processing for driving the solenoid, the pulse motor 92, and the like via the output interface 103 is performed based on the output data set in the previous control cycle.

  In S114, a command transmission process is performed in which a command set in a transmission buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM by an editing process to be described later is sent to a subordinate control apparatus such as the effect control apparatus 150 or the discharge control apparatus 200.

  In S115, random number update processing is performed, and each random number counter for determining whether or not the variable display game is hit, and the randomness in the presentation or decoration (variable display pattern, stop symbol, etc.) when the variable display game is advanced. The value of each random number counter for giving is incremented by one.

  For example, when the jackpot probability is 1/300, when the random number set in the agitation random number update process in S102 is acquired and the initial value (for example, 11 is acquired as the initial value) is set when the power is turned on, 11 → 12 → 13... 299 → 0 → 1 → 2... +1 for each timer interrupt, and when the random number value becomes 11 again, the random number value set in the random number update process for stirring is acquired. Then, the jackpot random number is updated using this random number as an initial value. Note that since the jackpot determination is performed in each of the first variation display game and the second variation display game, the jackpot random number is the first jackpot random number value used in the first variation display game (the jackpot probability = low = 1 / 300) and the second jackpot random number value (hit probability = high = 1/25) used in the second variation display game is updated, and similarly, the reach random number used in the variation display game is also changed to the first variation display game. The corresponding first reach random number and the second reach random number corresponding to the second variable display game are respectively updated.

  In this process, a stoppage stop symbol and a jackpot stop symbol are also generated and stored in first and second stoppage stop symbol storage areas and first and second jackpot stop symbol storage areas preset in the RAM, respectively.

  In S116, monitoring processing of various switches and sensors is performed. As will be described later, this switch monitoring process detects the presence / absence of inputs from the special figure 1 start sensor 81, the special figure 2 start sensor 82, the first count sensor 83, and the second count sensor 84. This is processing for updating the count number for the count sensor and the start memory number of the start memory. The first start memory of the special figure 1 start winning memory display 91 is generated when the game ball won in the first start port 4 passes the special figure 1 start sensor 81, and the special figure 2 start winning prize is displayed. The second start memory of the memory display 92 is generated when a game ball wins the second start port 5 and passes the special figure 2 start sensor 82.

  Also, in this process, the first or second jackpot random number value is acquired in accordance with the winning of the first starting port 4 and the winning of the second starting port 5, as will be described later, and the gaming microcomputer 101 The special figure 1 determination storage area and the special figure 2 determination storage area preset in the RAM are stored, and similarly, the type of reach action used in the first variation display game and the second variation display game is set to the first or second. In addition to acquiring two reach random number values and storing them in the first or second reach random number determination storage area preset in the RAM of the gaming microcomputer 101, the special figure 1 start sensor 81 and the special figure 2 start sensor When there is a winning in 82, a flag is set, and the first count sensor 83 and the second count sensor 84 are counted.

  In S117, since the subsequent processing of S118 and S119 are performed alternately, it is determined by a flag or the like whether the previous processing was S118 or S119. If the previous processing is S119, the processing proceeds to S118. On the other hand, if not, the process proceeds to S119.

  In S118, a first variable display game process (special figure 1 process in the figure) performed in a first display area 801 of the display device 8 to be described later is executed at a rate of once every two timer interruption processes.

  Similarly, in S119, the second variable display game process (special figure 2 process in the figure) performed in the second display area 802 of the display device 8 to be described later is executed once every two timer interrupt processes. .

  Next, in S120, information related to the game such as a jackpot signal and the stop timing of the variable display game is edited, written to an output buffer (not shown), and transmitted to a game hall management device (not shown).

  In S121, after executing the above processing of S111 to S120, the process of restoring the temporarily saved register and the permission setting of the prohibited interrupt are performed, the timer interrupt process is terminated, and the next timer interrupt is generated. Until this is done, the random number update process in S102 of FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the switch monitoring process executed in S116 of the timer interrupt process of FIG.

  In S131, it is determined whether or not there is a winning at the first starting port 4 based on the output of the special figure 1 starting sensor 81. If there is a winning at the first starting port 4, the process proceeds to S132. Advances to the process of S136.

  If a winning to the first start port 4 is detected, it is determined in S132 whether the first start memory number is less than a predetermined maximum value (for example, 4), and if it is less than the maximum value, the process proceeds to S133. While the first start memory number is updated by adding 1, if the first start memory number is the maximum value, no more start memory can be stored, so the process proceeds to S136.

  In S134, since the special figure 1 start sensor 81 has detected the game ball, in order to make a jackpot determination in the first variable display game, the first jackpot random number value is acquired and the gaming microcomputer 101 RAM Is stored in the special figure 1 determination storage area set in advance. Similarly, in S135, the first reach random number value used in the first variation display game is acquired and stored in the first reach random number determination storage area preset in the RAM of the gaming microcomputer 101.

  After the monitoring process of the special figure 1 start sensor 81 in S131 to S135, the special figure 2 start sensor 82 is monitored from S136.

  In S136, it is determined whether or not there is a winning at the second starting port 5 based on the output of the special figure 2 starting sensor 82. If there is a winning at the second starting port 5, the process proceeds to S137. Advances to the processing of S141.

  If a winning at the second starting port 5 is detected, it is determined in S137 whether the second starting memory number is less than a predetermined maximum value (for example, 4), and if it is less than the maximum value, the process proceeds to S138. On the other hand, if the second start memory number is updated by adding 1 to the second start memory number, the start memory cannot be stored any more, and the process proceeds to S141.

  In S138, since the special figure 2 start sensor 82 has detected the game ball, the second jackpot random number value is acquired to determine the jackpot in the second variable display game, and the gaming microcomputer 101 RAM Are stored in the special figure 2 determination storage area set in advance. Similarly, in S140, the second reach random number value used in the first variation display game is acquired and stored in the second reach random number determination storage area preset in the RAM of the gaming microcomputer 101.

  And in S141 and S142, the count process of the game ball which the 1st count sensor 83 provided in the 1st variable prize-winning apparatus 6 and the 2nd count sensor 84 provided in the 2nd variable prize-winning apparatus 7 detected is performed.

  When the first start opening 4 is won by the above switch monitoring processing, the first start memory number is added and the first big hit random number for determining the big win of the first variable display game is acquired. When a winning is made at the second starting port 5, the second starting stored number is added and a second jackpot random number for determining the jackpot of the second variable display game is acquired.

  In addition, by this switch monitoring process, game balls won in the first variable winning device 6 and game balls won in the second variable winning device 7 are counted.

  After the monitoring process of the special figure 1 start sensor 81 in S131 to S135, the special figure 2 start sensor 82 is monitored from S136.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the first variation display game process (the special figure 1 process in the figure) executed in S118 of the timer interrupt process of FIG. 3B.

  In S201, a branch is made to one of S202, S203, and S204 according to the value of the process number (hereinafter referred to as the first change display process number) indicating the state of the first change display game. The initial value of the first variation display process number is 0. In the first process, the process proceeds to S202, and if there is a start memory, the first variation display game start process (special figure 1 start process in the figure) is performed. A first variation display process number is set (for example, 1).

  This first variation display game start process monitors whether or not there is a first start memory in the first start port 4 (if the first monitor port 4 in the switch monitoring process of FIG. Since the first reach random number value is acquired and stored, it is monitored whether or not these are stored). If there is a memory, the first start memory is subtracted and the stored first jackpot random number value is stored The jackpot determination is made as to whether or not matches the jackpot determination value, and the first reach random number value stored in combination with the first jackpot random value is determined to determine the reach effect.

  Then, according to the determination result, if it is a big win, the big hit stop symbol and reach type (time value data) are set in the transmission buffer for the first variable display game, and if it is a reach, the reach stop symbol and reach type (time value) Data) is set in the transmission buffer for the first variation display game, and if it is out of place, the outage stop symbol and the type of deviation variation (time value data) are set in the transmission buffer for the first variation display game, and the processing number = Set to 1.

  In the next control cycle, if the first variation display processing number is 1, the process proceeds to S203, and after performing symbol stop processing (special figure 1 stop monitoring processing), if it is a big win, the first variation display processing number Is set to 2, for example, and if it is lost, the first variation display processing number is set to 0.

  The symbol stop process is a command (for example, time value data) transmitted from the command set in the predetermined buffer in the first variation display game start process to the effect control device 150 in the command transmission process (S114). The end of the first variation display game is monitored based on the time value data, the corresponding reach action, the variation without reach, the variation of jackpot, etc. are set in the production control device 150) and the stop symbol (time value data This is processing for stopping the first variable display game by setting a command to stop the symbol in the transmission buffer when it is almost time to finish.

  In this process, when the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the first variation processing number is set to 2 and the next branch processing (S201) branches to the first jackpot processing S204, while other than the jackpot symbol In this case, the process number is set to 0 and the first branching display game start process S202 is branched in the next branch process (S201).

  Further, in the next control cycle, when the first variation display processing number is 2, the process proceeds to S204, where the first jackpot state (first special game state) is entered, and the first variation winning device 6 is set to the first predetermined state. The time is opened until the time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses or the first count sensor 83 provided in the first variable winning device 6 detects a predetermined number of winning balls (for example, 10). The number of rounds (for example, 16 times) is performed, and a game value is given to the player. Then, after the predetermined number of rounds has elapsed, the first variation display processing number is set to 0.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the second variation display game process executed in S119 of the timer interrupt process of FIG.

  In S301, the process branches to one of S302, S303, and S304 according to the value of the process number indicating the state of the second variation display game (hereinafter, the second variation display process number). The initial value of the second variation display process number is 0. In the first process, the process proceeds to S302, and as described later, if there is a start memory, the second variation display game start process (the special figure 2 start process in the figure). ) To set the second variation display processing number (for example, 1).

  In this second variation display game start process, various settings are made for the second variation display game, as in S202 of FIG.

  That is, if there is a second start memory (the second jackpot random number value and the second reach random number value stored in the switch monitoring process of FIG. 4 are acquired and stored, it is monitored whether or not these memories are present. ), Subtracting the second start memory, and determining whether or not the stored second jackpot random number value matches the jackpot determination value, and was stored in pairs with the second jackpot random value The second reach random value is determined to determine the reach effect.

  Then, according to the determination result, if it is a big win, the big hit stop symbol and reach type (time value data) are set in the transmission buffer for the second variable display game, and if it is a reach, the reach stop symbol and reach type (time value) Data) is set in the transmission buffer for the second variation display game, and if it is out, the outage stop symbol and the type of deviation variation (time value data) are set in the transmission buffer for the second variation display game, and the processing number = Set to 1.

  In the next control cycle, if the second variation display processing number is 1, the process proceeds to S303 to perform symbol stop processing (special figure 2 stop monitoring processing). For example, it is set to 2, and if it is lost, the second variation display processing number is set to 0.

  The symbol stop process is a command (for example, time value data) that is set in the second variation display game start process described later and transmitted to the effect control device 150 in the command transmission process (S114). And the end of the second variation display game is monitored based on the stop symbol (the variation control game time is determined from the time value data). This is a process of setting a command to stop the symbol in the transmission buffer and stopping the second variation display game when it is almost finished.

  In this process, when the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the second variation processing number is set to 2 and the next branch processing (S301) branches to the second jackpot processing S304, while other than the jackpot symbol In this case, the process number is set to 0 and the process branches to the second variation display game start process S302 in the next branch process (S301).

  Further, when the second variation display processing number is 2 in the next control cycle, the process proceeds to S304 to enter the second jackpot state (second special game state), and the second variation winning device 7 is set to the second predetermined time ( For example, it opens greatly until 1.8 seconds), and this opening / closing operation is performed once to give a game value to the player. After the opening / closing operation is performed once, the second variation display processing number is set to 0.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the first jackpot process performed in S204 of FIG.

  First, in S211, it is determined whether or not the big winning opening 2 opening flag indicating the open state of the second variable winning device 7 is set. While waiting for the end of the two big hit games (waiting for the end of one opening / closing operation of the second variable winning device 7), if not set (closed state of the second variable winning device 7), the process proceeds to S212. .

  In S212, it is determined whether or not a weight flag indicating a weight period that is an interval of the first jackpot game (first special game state) (a temporary closed state of the first variable winning device 6) is set, If the wait flag is set, the process proceeds to S215. If the wait flag is not set, the process proceeds to S213.

  In S213 when the weight flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the big prize opening 1 release flag indicating the open state of the first variable prize winning device 6 is set, and the big prize opening 1 release flag is set. If it is not set, the process proceeds to S214.

  In S214, the big prize opening 1 release flag is set, the big prize opening 1 release timer is set to a first predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) to start subtraction, and further, the first variable prize winning device 6 is opened. The big winning opening 1 solenoid ON information for commanding the operation of the big winning opening 1 solenoid 93 is set, and processing for starting the first big hit game is performed.

  Through the processing of S211 to S214, the big winning opening 1 solenoid 93 opens the first variable winning device 6 in S113 of FIG. 3 to start the first big hit game.

  Next, at the time of the second control, if the big winning opening 2 release flag is not set, it is immediately after the first big hit game is started in S214, so the wait flag is not set yet, so the determination in S211 Is “N”, the process proceeds to the determination of S213.

  In S213, since the special winning opening 1 release flag is set, the process proceeds to S217, and it is determined whether or not the value of the special winning opening 1 release timer has passed a predetermined time.

  On the other hand, in the second and subsequent control cycles, if the value of the special winning opening 1 opening timer has passed the predetermined time (one-round end condition 1 is satisfied), the process proceeds to S219, and if the predetermined time has not elapsed. Advances to S218, and it is determined from the value of the count 1 memory whether the number of winnings counted by the first count sensor 83 is within a predetermined value (for example, 10).

  In S218, if the number of winnings has reached a predetermined value (one-round end condition 2 is satisfied), the process proceeds to S219. If the number of winnings is less than the predetermined value, the one-round end condition is not satisfied, so the processing is continued. And the open state of the first variable winning device 6 is maintained.

  On the other hand, when the predetermined winning opening 1 release timer has passed the predetermined time in S217 or when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined value in the determination of S218, a big winning is made to end one round of the first big win game. The OFF information of the mouth 1 solenoid is set (thereby, the large winning opening 1 solenoid 93 is turned OFF during the wait period in the output process S113 of FIG. 3 and the first variable winning device is closed).

  Next, in S220, the number of rounds of the big hit game (cycle in the figure) is updated, the first predetermined time is set in the big winning opening 1 opening timer, and the stored value of the number of winnings counted by the first count sensor 83 is stored. After the value of the count 1 memory is reset, the number of rounds is determined in S221.

  In S221, if the number of rounds (cycles) updated in S220 is less than a predetermined value (for example, 16), if it is less than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to S222 and the first big hit game interval is performed. Is set, and a predetermined value (for example, 5 seconds) is set in the wait timer to start subtraction.

  On the other hand, if the number of rounds reaches a predetermined value, the process proceeds to S223 to end the first jackpot game, resets the number of rounds, and sets a big prize opening 1 release flag indicating that the first jackpot game is being executed. After the reset, the first variation display process number is set to 0, and the next variation display game process (S118) is set to perform the first variation display game start process (S202) in FIG. To finish the process.

  If the number of rounds does not reach the predetermined value in S221, the weight flag is set in S222. Therefore, in the next control cycle, if the special winning opening 2 release flag is not set, the determination in S212 determines S215. Proceed to the process.

  In S215, it is determined whether or not the wait timer has passed a predetermined time (5 seconds). If not, the process is terminated, and the first variable winning device 6 that is the interval of the first big hit game is closed. Continue the period.

  On the other hand, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to S216 to start the next round, resets the wait flag, and sets the special winning opening 1 solenoid ON information. As a result, in the next output process (S113), the big winning opening 1 solenoid 93 is turned ON to open the first variable winning device 6 and the next round is started.

  Thus, in the first jackpot process, the first variable prize winning device 6 is kept until either the predetermined time set in the big winning opening 1 opening timer or the value of the count 1 memory satisfies the predetermined value (10). Open and play one round of jackpot game, and during each round, an interval for closing the first variable winning device 6 is set during a predetermined period (5 seconds) set by the weight timer. The opening / closing operation of the first variable prize-winning device 6 is executed for a predetermined number of rounds (here 16 times).

  If the first variable display game is a big hit during the second jackpot game by the process of S211, the first big win game is ended (after the first opening of the second variable prize winning device 7 is finished). The jackpot game can be executed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the second jackpot process performed in S304 of FIG.

  First, in S311, it is determined whether or not the big winning opening 1 release flag indicating that the first jackpot game is being executed is set. If it is set, the process proceeds to S314. If it is not set, the process proceeds to S312. move on.

  In S312, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 2 release flag is set. If it is set, the process proceeds to S315. If it is not set, the process proceeds to S313 to start the second big hit game. Proceeding to S313, the special winning opening 2 release flag is set, the second predetermined time (for example, 1.8 seconds) is set in the special winning opening 2 release timer, and the subtraction is started. In order to open the winning device 7, the big winning port 2 solenoid ON information for instructing the operation of the big winning port 2 solenoid 94 is set, and the process of starting the second big hit game is performed.

  By the processing of S311 to S313, the big winning opening 2 solenoid 94 opens the second variable winning device 7 in S113 of FIG. 3 and the second big hit game is started.

  Next, in the second control, if the special winning opening 1 release flag is not set, the process proceeds to S312 to determine whether or not the special winning opening 2 release flag is set. Since the special winning opening 2 opening flag is set, the process proceeds to S315.

  In S315, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time for opening the second variable prize-winning device 7 has elapsed based on the value of the big winning opening 2 opening timer. If the predetermined time has elapsed (the end of the second big hit game is over). Condition 1) While the process proceeds to S317, if it has not elapsed, the process proceeds to S316, and the value of the count 2 memory that is the count value of the second count sensor of the second variable winning device 7 is a predetermined value (for example, 10). It is judged whether it is less than. When the value of the count 2 memory is less than the predetermined value, the processing is terminated as it is to continue the second big hit game. On the other hand, if the value of the count 2 memory has reached the predetermined value, the second big hit game is terminated. Since 2 is established, the process proceeds to S317.

  In S317, when the predetermined winning opening 2 release timer has passed a predetermined time or when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined value in the determination in S316, the large winning opening 2 solenoid is turned off to end the second big hit game. Set information. Thereby, in the output process 113 of FIG. 3, the big winning opening 2 solenoid 94 is turned OFF, the second variable winning device 7 is closed, and the second big hit game is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S311 that the special winning opening 1 release flag is set, it is determined whether or not the weight flag is set in S314. If the weight flag is set, the process proceeds to S312. Thus, the determination of the big winning opening 2 opening flag is performed as described above, and the second big hit game can be started. If the weight flag is not set, the process is terminated to prohibit the first variable winning device 6 and the second variable winning device 7 from being opened simultaneously.

  7 and 8, when the first variable display game is a big hit due to winning at the first starting port 4, the first variable winning device 6 is set to the first predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or predetermined After releasing until the number of winnings is reached, the first big hit game can be executed by repeating a predetermined number (for example, 16 times) of one round of closing the first variable winning device 6 in a predetermined weight period.

  On the other hand, if the second variable display game is a big hit due to winning at the second start opening 5, the second variable winning device 7 will continue until the second predetermined time (for example, 1.8 seconds) or a predetermined number of wins. The second big hit game that is released only once can be executed.

  When the second variable display game is a big hit during the first big hit game, the second big hit game is executed during the weight period of the first big hit game, and the first predetermined time (30 seconds) or the number of winnings is After the first variable winning device 6 is opened until the predetermined value is reached, the first variable winning device 6 is closed, but the second variable winning device 7 can be opened only once.

  The execution timing of the second jackpot game during the first jackpot game will be described with reference to FIG.

  At the time t0 when the first variation display game is a big hit and the big hit game is started, the first variable winning device 6 (big winning opening 1 in the figure) is opened. Then, when the first variable winning device 6 reaches a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings, it is closed once, and after waiting for a predetermined weight period (interval) to elapse, the next round jackpot game is started, The first variable winning device 6 is opened again.

  Here, as shown in the figure, it is assumed that the first variable game is a big hit at time t1 after the first round is over and the weight period is exhausted and the second round is started. At this time, the first variable winning device 6 is open, and the weight flag is not set in the processing of FIGS. 7 and 8, so that only the first big win game is executed, and the second big win game is in the standby state. It becomes. At time t2 when two rounds of the first jackpot game end, the weight flag is set, so that the second jackpot game is executed (inserted) by the processing of S311, S314, 312 and S313 in FIG. The second variable winning device 7 is opened for a predetermined time of 2.

  That is, normally, in FIG. 1, the first variation display game is performed aiming at the first starting port 4 arranged on the lower left side of the game board, and when this first variation display game is a big hit, The variable winning device 6 (large winning opening 1) provided on the side opens and closes, and the player moves the launch point to the right side of the game board. Then, since the second start opening 5 is arranged directly above the variable winning device 6, the second variable display game can be performed while enjoying the big win by the first variable winning device 6, and further, during the first big win game When the second variation display game is a big hit, the second big win game in which the second variable winning device 7 provided on the lower left side of FIG. 1 is opened and closed once is performed during the wait time during the first big hit game. The second variable winning device 7 is opened during the wait time of the big hit game (for example, the wait time period from the closing of the variable winning device 6 in the first round to the opening of the first variable winning device 6 in the next two rounds). Therefore, both jackpots can be enjoyed without exception, and the game is played while moving the launch point, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game and to give the jackpot game a new interest. It's is possible.

  As described above, when the first variable winning device 6 is controlled to be released intermittently (separated by a weight period) and the second variable winning device is controlled to be released once as the second jackpot game. In addition, when the result of the second variable display game becomes a big hit during the first jackpot game, the second variable prize winning device 6 is opened when the first variable winning device 6 is intermittently closed (wait period). Insert it.

  Conversely, if the first variation display game is a big hit during the second big hit game, the first big win game is executed after the second big hit game is finished, and the first variable winning device 6 and the second variable win are obtained. It is possible to prohibit the device 7 from being simultaneously opened.

  FIG. 10 shows a configuration example of another game board. This is a case where two center cases (variable display devices) are provided separately in the left and right direction. Display devices 8A and 8B are provided in the left and right center cases 3A and 3B, respectively. The display device 801 includes a display area 801 for performing a variable display game, and the display device 8B includes a display area 802 for performing a second variable display game.

  In this case, since each of the center cases 3A and 3B has no armor portion (the one projecting toward the glass surface from the mounting base surface of the center case and changing the flow direction of the game ball on the upper surface), each center is eliminated. Since the space where the game ball flows down is ensured between the front surface and the glass surface of the cases 3A and 3B, the first starting port 4, the second starting port 5, and the first variable winning device 6 are secured. And the second variable winning device 7 can be easily launched. That is, since there are no projecting armor portions in the center cases 3A, 3B, the first and second start ports and the first and second variable prize winning devices arranged below the center cases 3A, 3B are easily fired. It becomes possible. The arrangement relationship between the first and second starting ports 4 and 5 and the first and second variable winning devices 6 and 7 is the same as in FIG. 1, and the second starting port 5 is located above the first variable winning device 6. The first start port 4 is disposed above the second variable winning device 7, and is configured so that the other variable display game can be easily started during one jackpot game.

  In the above embodiment, the opening time (second predetermined time) of the second variable winning device 7 in the second jackpot game may be a value smaller than the wait period (time of the wait timer) of the first jackpot game. It can be set arbitrarily.

  In addition, the second variable winning device 7 is opened only once for the second jackpot game, but if it ends within the wait time period, it is not limited to one, and one jackpot wait time period. The other jackpot game may be set to end.

  In addition, the second jackpot game is configured to perform a plurality of rounds (for example, five times, ten times, etc.) as in the first jackpot game, and is opened in each round. Of the first jackpot game, and when the second jackpot game is generated during the first jackpot game, the second variable winning device by the second jackpot game is configured. Is inserted in the wait period between each round of the first jackpot game, that is, the first and second jackpots are nested with the opening of the first variable winning device and the opening of the second variable winning device being nested. Even if it is configured to digest the game, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained. When the wait time between rounds in the second jackpot game is set to be longer than the opening time of the first variable winning device due to the first jackpot, the first jackpot game occurs during the second jackpot game In addition, it becomes possible to insert the opening of the first variable winning device during the second jackpot game weight period.
