Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that executes a prefetch effect that suggests that execution of a symbol variation game that is likely to be a big hit is suspended.

  Conventionally, among pachinko gaming machines, there is a gaming machine that grants a probability variation state in which the probability of winning a big hit is higher than usual from the end of the big hit until the execution of the symbol variation game is completed for the number of times the probability variation is given. (For example, patent document 1). In addition, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the execution of the symbol variation game is suspended when the game ball enters the start winning opening, and the execution of the symbol variation game that is likely to be a big hit is suspended. It is configured to be able to execute a prefetch effect that suggests in advance. In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the probability variation state is given until the symbol variation game with the probability variation grant count is executed, but in the symbol variation game after the probability variation grant count, the probability variation state is not imparted. For this reason, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, while the probability variation state is given when the game ball enters the start winning opening, the symbol variation game after the certain number of probability variation is given, and the symbol variation game is executed. There is a case where the probability variation state is not given at the time. In the gaming machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to prevent a discrepancy between the content of the pre-reading effect and the content of the symbol variation game that is actually executed, the vicinity of the end of the provision of the probability variation state (probability variation provision) The pre-reading effect is not performed for the symbol variation game near the number of times.

JP 2011-175 (particularly, paragraph [0177])

  For the above-described reason, in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, even when a symbol variation game (a symbol variation game that can be used as a trigger for the prefetch effect) is executed in the vicinity of the probability variation grant count, the prefetching is performed. Production is not executed. By the way, in the vicinity of the probability variation grant count, the degree of attention that the symbol variation game is a big hit is higher than when it is not near the probability variation grant count. Specifically, the symbol variation game that is executed before the probability variation grant count is likely to be a big hit than the symbol variation game that is executed after the probability variation grant count. Attention is getting higher. For this reason, if the pre-reading effect can be executed immediately before the probability variation grant count, it is possible to improve the interest with respect to the execution of the pre-reading effect.

  On the other hand, since the symbol variation game executed after the probability variation giving number of times is less likely to be a big hit than the symbol variation game executed before the probability variation giving number of times, the expectation to become a big hit is reduced. For this reason, if the prefetching effect can be executed immediately after the probability variation giving number of times, it is possible to improve the interest in the fact that the prefetching effect has been executed without reducing the expectation of the big hit for the symbol variation game for the subsequent probability variation giving number of times. . In other words, if the pre-reading effect can be executed for the symbol variation game that is executed in the vicinity of the probability variation grant count, the interest in the game can be further improved.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine capable of accurately and reliably performing a pre-reading effect regardless of the manner in which the probability variation state is given.

In order to solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention, a random number acquisition means for acquiring the values of various random number when you gaming ball prize to start winning opening run of symbol variation games Ru pending , a random number storage means for storing the values of various random the random number acquisition means has acquired, to compare the jackpot determining value that is predetermined and the value per random ones of the random number acquisition means acquired various random number, the respective values The jackpot determining means for determining whether or not they match, the type of jackpot game, and the level of randomness obtained from the random number acquired by the random number acquiring means, the level of randomness that can be expected to be advantageous Level determining means for determining an effect level to be shown, and a symbol that is executed using the value of the winning random number in a symbol variation game whose execution is suspended when the random number value is stored in the random number storage means How many times change game Hold information execution order indicating whether the executable with identifiable suspension information, and information storage means for storing game information corresponding to the values of various random number stored in the random number memory unit, in the information storage means And a pre-reading effect control means for causing the effect execution means to execute a pre-reading effect that suggests that the execution of the symbol variation game that is a big hit is suspended based on the stored game information. has a high確大per determination value, the common jackpot determining value, there is, of one and the per random number of said common jackpot determination value and the high確大per determination value when the probability variation state is granted When the values match, it is a big hit, but when the probability variation state is not given, the common big hit decision value of the high probability big hit decision value and the common big hit decision value Be big hit when the value of the per random number match, the probability variation state, the upper limit to the probability variation state of the granted execution only symbol variation game probability variation granted number of predetermined from the start is finished, The information storage means can store game information of an effect level that can specify the effect level determined by the level determination means from the value of the level random number stored in the random number storage means. If the value of the hit random number stored in the random number storage means is a value that matches the high-precision hit determination value, it indicates that the value of the hit random number is a value that matches the high-precision hit determination value. When the game information of high probability jackpot is stored and the value of the hit random number stored in the random number storage means is a value that matches the common jackpot determination value, the value of the hit random number matches the common jackpot determination value The common jackpot game information indicating that the value is a value is stored, and the pre-reading effect control means is information indicating the number of symbol variation games that have been executed since the start of the provision of the probability variation state. And whether or not a certain change state is given at the time of execution of the symbol variation game executed in the execution order that can be specified from the hold information based on the execution order that can be specified from the hold information stored in the information storage means Make a decision about
When a probability variation state is given at the time of execution of the symbol variation game that is executed in an execution order that can be specified from the hold information, the game information stored together with the hold information is the same as the game information about the high probability hit When it is possible to control the execution of the pre-reading effect when it is any of the jackpot game information, and the probability variation state is not given at the time of execution of the symbol variation game executed in the execution order that can be specified from the hold information When the game information stored together with the hold information is the high-accuracy big hit game information, execution of the pre-reading effect cannot be controlled, while the game information stored together with the hold information is the common big hit game information. and it can control the execution of the prefetch effect when it is, if the game information jackpot with suspension information in the information storage means is stored Based from the presentation level game information stored together with the suspension information in identifiable effect level, summarized in that to determine the effect contents of the look-ahead effect, and can control the execution of the prefetch effect of effect contents which the determined And

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the hold information and the game information stored in the information storage means are executed in an execution order that can be specified from the hold information. Is configured to be erased when the game is executed, and the jackpot game that is given after the jackpot symbol variation game is finished, the probability change jackpot that is given a probability change state after the jackpot game is finished, and the probability change state after the jackpot game is finished The pre-reading effect control means executes the symbol variation game before the end of giving the probable change state after the big hit game is finished in the information storage means during the giving of the probable big hit. When the hold information that can specify the order is stored, the game information stored together with the hold information is the high-probability game information and the common jackpot game information. If it is one of them, it is possible to control the execution of the pre-reading effect from the start of the execution of the first symbol variation game after the end of the probability variation jackpot, and the symbol after the end of giving the probability variation state after the end of the jackpot game When the hold information that can specify the execution order of the variable game is stored, if the game information stored together with the hold information is the game information about the high probability game, the execution of the prefetch effect cannot be controlled. If the game information stored together with the hold information is the game information of the common jackpot, it is possible to control the execution of the pre-reading effect from the start of the execution of the first symbol variation game after the end of the probability variation jackpot,
While giving the non-probable big hit, when the information storage means does not store the common big hit game information together with the hold information, the execution of the prefetch effect cannot be controlled. When the game information is stored, the gist is that execution of the pre-reading effect from the start of the execution of the first symbol variation game after the end of the uncertain change big hit can be controlled.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, the starting winning opening has a first starting winning means and a ball entering more than when the non-participating rate is improved. There is a second start winning means for winning the game ball with high probability when the rate is improved, and the random number storage means is triggered by the fact that the game ball has won the first start winning means. The acquired value of the winning random number is stored as the value of the first winning random number, and the value of the winning random number acquired by the random number acquiring means when the game ball has won the second starting winning means is used as the second winning random number. A random number value is stored, and the information storage means is executed using the first winning random number value when the first winning random number value is stored in the random number storing means. The first hold information that can specify the execution order of the random number is stored, and the random number storage When the value of the second winning random number is stored in the stage, the second holding information capable of specifying the execution order of the symbol variation game executed using the second winning random number value is stored. When the execution of the second symbol variation game is suspended, the second symbol variation game is executed with priority over the first symbol variation game, and the prefetch effect When the control means causes the prefetch effect to be executed, after the execution of the prefetch effect is determined, the symbol variation game that is executed in the execution order that can be specified by the hold information that triggers the execution of the prefetch effect is completed. When the second hold information is stored in the information storage means when the pre-reading effect is executed, and when the pre-reading effect is executed when the non-entrance rate improvement state is established, Look ahead And summarized in that it stops the execution.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a probability fluctuation state (hereinafter referred to as “probability change state”) that is advantageous to the player may be given. When the probability variation state is given, the winning probability (lottery probability) of the big hit lottery is changed (improved) from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability. In addition, the probability variation state is provided from the start of the provision of the probability variation state until the predetermined condition is satisfied. In addition, the probability variation state of the present embodiment is provided until the execution of the symbol variation game of the predetermined number of probability variation provisions (80 times in the present embodiment) after the provision of the probability variation state is completed. It has become so. When the probability variation state is given in this way, the winning probability of the big hit lottery varies with a high probability and the big hit game is likely to occur, which is advantageous for the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, there may be a case where a variation time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “variation”) state that is advantageous to the player is given. When the change state is given, the fluctuation time of the normal game is shortened, and the winning probability (lottery probability) of the lottery per normal map based on the passage of the gate 27 is changed from the low probability (normal probability) to the high probability. (Improve. Also, when the lottery per common drawing is won, the open / close blades 22 are opened for a longer time when the variable state is given compared to when the variable state is not given. For this reason, when the variable state is given, the opening time of the opening / closing blade 22 per unit time increases. That is, when the variable state is given, the rate of game balls entering the second start winning opening 21 per unit time is improved, which is advantageous for the player. Further, the variable state is given until the execution of the symbol variation game for a predetermined number of variable grants (80 in this embodiment) is completed.

  As described above, when the variable state is given, it is easy for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 21, so that the execution of the second symbol variation game is easily suspended. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the execution of the first symbol variation game is suspended (first retained memory number> 0), if the execution of the second symbol variation game is suspended (second retained memory number). > 0), the second symbol variation game is executed in preference to the first symbol variation game. For this reason, when the variable state is given, the second symbol variation game is easily executed continuously. On the other hand, when the variable state is not given, it is difficult for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 21, and therefore it is difficult to hold the execution of the second symbol variation game. For this reason, when the variable state is given, the first symbol variation game is easily executed continuously.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified for the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The big hit game is a symbol change game in which the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 or the second special symbol display device 14, and is started after the symbol variable game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the special winning opening 24 is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of rounds as an upper limit (11 rounds or 16 rounds in this embodiment). During a single round game, the special winning opening 24 has a predetermined time (round game time) until a specified number of balls (upper limit number of balls (9 in this embodiment)) are won. Until it is done, it is opened. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, after the end of the round game with a predetermined number of predetermined rounds, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed, and the big hit game is ended.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the four types of big hit games shown in FIG. 2, and the determined big hit game is given. Yes. Of the four types of big hit games, which of the big hit games is awarded is determined according to the type of special figure (big hit symbol) determined when the big hit lottery is won.

  In this embodiment, the big hit symbols of 100 types of special figures displayed on the special figure display devices 12 and 14 in a fixed stop are classified into a symbol A, a symbol B, a symbol C, and a symbol D. Specifically, for the symbol A, 40 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display devices 12 and 14 are distributed. In addition, 25 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display devices 12 and 14 in a fixed stop display are distributed to the symbol B. Further, 15 kinds of big hit symbols out of the big hit symbols displayed on the special figure display devices 12 and 14 are allocated to the symbol C, and the big hit on the special symbol display devices 12 and 14 is displayed on the special symbol display devices 12 and 14. Of the symbols, 20 types of jackpot symbols are distributed. Moreover, 11 types of special figures (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are distributed to the symbol E.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol A is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display devices 12 and 14 is set to “16 times” as the specified number of rounds. The game is a jackpot game (hereinafter, referred to as “16R probability variation jackpot”) to which a probability variation state is given until the execution of the “time” symbol variation game is completed. In addition, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol B is displayed on the special figure display devices 12 and 14 is confirmed and stopped, and the prescribed round number is set to “11 times”. A jackpot game to which a probability variation state is given until the execution of the “80 times” symbol variation game is completed (hereinafter referred to as “11R probability variation jackpot”). The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol C is displayed on the special chart display devices 12 and 14 is confirmed and stopped, and the specified number of rounds is set to “11”. A jackpot game in which a state is not given (a non-probability change state is given) (hereinafter, referred to as “11R non-probability change big hit”). In FIG. 2, the number of times that the probability variation state is given after the end of 11R non-probability variation big hit is indicated as “0”.

  In 16R probability variation big hit, 11R probability variation big hit and 11R non-probable big hit, “7 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “10 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In addition, in the 16R probability variation big hit, 11R probability variation big hit and 11R non-probable big hit, “25 (seconds)” is set as each round game time. Although not shown, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the 16R probability variation big hit, 11R probability variation big hit and 11R non-probable big hit is set to “1.5 (seconds)”, respectively. Also, after the end of the execution of the “80 times” symbol variation game, after the end of the 16R probability variation big hit, 11R probability variation big hit and 11R non-probable big hit, regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit winning, a variable state is given. Is done.

  As described above, the 16R probability variation jackpot and the 11R probability variation jackpot have the same round game time and the manner of giving the probability variation state after the jackpot game, but the number of round games is different. For this reason, when a 16R probability variable jackpot is awarded, which has a higher number of round games than the 11R probability variable jackpot, more game balls are awarded to the big prize opening 24 than when 11R probability variable jackpot is awarded. Is possible. That is, in the present embodiment, the 16R probability variation big hit is a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the 11R probability variation big hit. In addition, the 11R probability variable big hit and the 11R non-probable big hit have the same number of round games during the big hit game and the round game time of each round game, but differ in the manner of giving the probability changed state after the big hit game ends. For this reason, the 11R probability variation big hit that is given a probable change state after the big hit game ends is a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the 11R non-probable big hit that is not given a probable state after the big hit game ends.

  In addition, the jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is confirmed and stopped on the special chart display devices 12 and 14 is set to “11 times” as the specified number of rounds. A jackpot game to which a probability variation state is given until the execution of the “80 times” symbol variation game is completed (hereinafter referred to as “11R shortened probability variation jackpot”). In the 11R shortened probability variation big hit, “0.02 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “0.068 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Further, in the 11R shortened probability variation big hit, “0.032 (seconds)” is set as each round game time. Further, “1.5 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between rounds in the 11R shortened probability variation big hit. Also, when an 11R shortened probability variable jackpot is awarded, and if a shortened state is awarded at the time of winning the jackpot, the execution of the “80 times” symbol variation game after the 11R shortened probability variable jackpot ends is completed. In the meantime, a variable state is given. On the other hand, when an 11R shortened probability variation jackpot is awarded, if the shortened state is not granted at the time of winning the jackpot, the shortened state is not imparted after the 11R shortened probability variation jackpot ends ("0" in FIG. 2). ).

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (0.032 (seconds)) for the 11R shortened probability variation big hit is the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 24 in one round game is the upper limit number of balls (9). The time is set so as not to satisfy. By the way, in pachinko machines, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to about “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in a round game of 11R shortening probability variation big hit, it is difficult to launch and enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (0.032 (seconds)). is there.

  For this reason, 11R probability variation jackpot and 11R shortened probability variation jackpot have the same number of round games performed during the jackpot game and the manner of giving the probability variation state after the jackpot game ends, but each round game time is different. For this reason, the 11R probability big hit that is set as the round game time is a time during which the upper limit number of game balls can be won within the round game time. It is a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the 11R shortened probability big hit that is set as the round game time when it is difficult to win.

  In addition, in the small hit game that is given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol E is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display devices 12 and 14, the opening time is “0 (seconds)” and the ending time is “ 0.096 (seconds) "is set. In addition, in the small hit game, “11 times” is set as the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened. In addition, in the small hit game, the opening time of the first to eleventh opening is set to “0.032 (seconds)” and between each opening (for example, from the second opening to the third opening) "1.5 (seconds)" is set as the interval time. Thus, in the small hit game, the opening / closing time from the first opening to the eleventh closing is “0.032 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds) +0.032 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds) +... +0 .032 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds) +0.032 (seconds) ”is set to“ 15.064 (seconds) ”. In this way, the opening manner of the big winning opening 24 is the same between the opening of the first round in the 11R shortened probability variation big hit to the closing of the eleventh round and the opening from the first time in the small hit game to the closing of the eleventh round. It has become. Therefore, it is not possible to recognize whether 11R shortening probability variation big hit or small hit game has been awarded from the opening mode of the big winning opening 24 and the production time.

  Further, in the small hit game, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery (in FIG. 2, it is indicated as “maintain current state”). In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability variation state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game, whereas if the probability variation state is not granted, the small hit game The probability variation state is not given even after the end of. In addition, in the small hit game, if the variable state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the short state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game, while if the short state is not given Even after the small hit game ends, no change state is given.

  Note that the 11R shortened probability variation big hit and the small hit game may have different probability variation states after the hit game. For this reason, the 11R shortened probability variable big hit that is surely newly given a probability change state after the winning game is finished is more advantageous to the player than the small hit game that is not newly given a probability changed state after the winning game is finished. It becomes a game.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that execution of the prefetch effect which suggests that execution of the symbol change game with high possibility of becoming a big hit is put on hold is carried out. Whether or not the pre-reading effect can be executed is determined when a game ball wins the start winning opening 19 or 21. Further, in the present embodiment, the prefetch effect is a symbol variation game that is executed from when the symbol variation game that triggered the execution of the prefetch effect is suspended until the symbol variation game is executed, and the prefetch effect. It is executed in the symbol variation game that triggered the execution of. Note that the pre-reading effect is determined when the execution of the symbol variation game that triggered the execution of the pre-reading effect is held when the first reserved memory number is “0” and the second reserved memory number is “0”. Only the symbol variation game that triggered the execution is executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the symbol variation game for which execution has been suspended becomes a big hit, it is easier to determine the execution of the prefetch effect than when the symbol variation game for which execution has been suspended is lost. It is configured. For this reason, when the pre-reading effect is executed, it can be expected that the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended or the symbol variation game whose execution has been started is likely to be a big hit. Further, in the present embodiment, a pre-read-only background image that is displayed only at the time of execution of the pre-reading effect from the start of execution of the pre-reading effect until the execution of the symbol variation game that triggered the execution of the pre-reading effect ends. The symbol variation game is played by switching to. In this embodiment, when the pre-reading effect is being executed, the characters “Pre-reading effect” are displayed at the top of the image display unit GH so that it can be recognized that the pre-reading effect is being executed. Yes.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control commands (control commands) according to the process results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 controls the display mode of the effect display device 11 (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) and various effect devices based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control CPU that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected to various switches SW1 to SW4 so that detection signals output by detecting the game balls can be input. Further, the main control CPU 30a includes a first special figure display device 12, a first special figure hold storage display device 13, a second special figure display device 14, a second special figure hold storage display device 15, and a normal symbol display device 16. Is connected.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, a reach determination random number, an effect level determination random number, a variation pattern distribution random number, and a regular pattern determination random number. A random number update process (random number generation process) is performed to update the data at predetermined intervals. The random number for winning determination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “hit random number”) is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) and the small hit lottery (small hit determination). The special figure distribution random number (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special figure random number”) is a random number used when determining the type of jackpot game to be given when the jackpot lottery is won. A random number for reach determination (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “reach random number”) is used to determine whether or not to execute a reach effect in the symbol variation game when the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery are not won. Random numbers used in reach lottery (reach determination). The effect level determination random number (hereinafter also referred to as “level random number”) is a random number used when determining the effect level. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when a variation pattern is selected. In addition, the random number for determination per common figure is a random number used in the lottery per common figure (determination per common figure). The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

Here, the effect level determined using the level random number will be described in detail.
The performance level indicates an advantageous expectation that can be expected to be in an advantageous state for the player. In this embodiment, the expected expectation is the expectation for the big hit, the expectation that the big hit game given when the big hit is advantageous, and the probability expected after the given big hit game ends. It includes various expectations such as the degree of expectation that a state is given. In this embodiment, the advantageous expectation is shown in five stages from production levels “0” to “4”. Note that, in this embodiment, the advantageous expectation level indicated by the effect level increases in the order of effect level “0” <“1” <“2” <“3” <“4” (effect level “4” indicates the highest degree of advantageous expectation).

  In the present embodiment, when the effect level is determined, if the symbol variation game to be executed is out of place, the effect level that can be determined varies depending on whether or not the reach effect is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, when the reach effect is not performed (in FIG. 4, “no reach”), the effect level “0” is determined. It is like that. On the other hand, when a reach effect is performed in a symbol variation game that is out of place (shown as “reach” in FIG. 4), the effect level is determined from effect levels “1” to “4”. It has become.

  Further, when the effect level is determined, if the symbol variation game to be executed is a win (big hit, small win), the effect level that can be determined differs depending on the type of special symbol (win game to be awarded). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a symbol variation game to which any one of 16R probability variation big hit (symbol A), 11R probability variation big hit (symbol B), and 11R non-probability big hit (symbol C) is given. Is performed, the production level is determined from the production levels “2” to “4”. In addition, when executing a symbol variation game to which 11R shortened big hit (symbol D) is given, the effect level is determined from effect levels “1” to “3”. In addition, when executing the symbol variation game to which the small hit game (symbol E) is executed, one of the effect level “1” and the effect level “2” is determined. .

  The main control ROM 30b shown in FIG. 3 stores a main control program, various determination values (such as big hit determination values), and a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that serves as a base for effects (display effects, light-emitting effects, sound effects) from the start of the symbol variation game to the end of the symbol variation game. The time (variation time) can be specified. Also, the variation pattern is determined when the variation pattern for the big hit effect determined at the big hit and the variation pattern for the probable change suggesting effect determined at the big hit or the small hit are out of place. There is a variation pattern for off-line production. Further, the variation pattern for the offense effect includes a variation pattern for the outlier reach effect including the reach effect in the effect content, and a variation pattern for the outlier normal effect not including the reach effect in the effect content. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation pattern HP1 is stored in the main control ROM 30b as the fluctuation pattern HP1 as the deviation normal effect fluctuation pattern and the fluctuation pattern HP2 to HP9 as the fluctuation pattern for the loss reach presentation. In the present embodiment, the variation patterns HP10 to HP18 are stored in the main control ROM 30b as the variation patterns for the big hit effect, and the variation patterns HP19 to HP21 are stored as the variation pattern for the probability variation suggestion effect.

  In addition, the reach effect is displayed in the symbol variation game with the ornamental symbol on the effect display device 11 until the reach symbol combination (the symbol combination that is a big hit, miss or probability change suggestion) is finally derived. It is a production performed during It should be noted that in the symbol variation game that is performed based on the variation pattern for the off-normal effect, the symbol combination of the eventual failure is developed so that the final symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state without going through the reach effect. Further, in the symbol variation game performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, the reach symbol effect is developed so that the symbol combination of the eventual event is finally stopped. Further, in the symbol variation game performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect, the reach combination is developed so that the symbol combination for the jackpot is finally displayed in a fixed stop state. Further, in the symbol variation game that is performed based on the variation pattern for the probability variation suggestion effect, it is developed so that the symbol combination for the probability variation suggestion is finally displayed in a fixed stop state after reaching the reach effect.

  In addition, in the variation patterns HP2 to HP21 in which the reach effect is executed, the reach effect to be executed is different. Specifically, in the symbol variation game performed based on the variation patterns HP2, HP3, HP10, HP11, HP19, and HP20, a normal reach effect is executed, and the symbols performed based on the variation patterns HP4 to HP9, HP12 to HP18, and HP21. Super reach production is executed in the floating game. The normal reach effect (shown as “NR effect” in FIG. 5) and the super reach effect (shown as “SR effect” in FIG. 5) indicate the types of reach effects. The normal reach effect is a reach of effect contents in which the design of the reach is derived after the reach symbol combination is temporarily stopped on the effect display device 11 and then the remaining one column (in this embodiment, the middle column) is changed. Production. In addition, the super reach production is composed of the production contents of the reach production in two stages. After the normal reach production is executed and all the decorative designs are temporarily stopped or displayed, the decorative design of the middle row is displayed. During the variable display, for example, it is a reach effect of the effect content in which a character appears and shifts (develops) to “XX reach” called by the name of the appearing character and a decorative symbol is derived. In the super reach production, the normal reach production is the first stage, and the content is developed from the normal reach production.

  In this embodiment, as the contents of the normal reach effect, the first normal reach effect (shown as “first NR effect” in FIG. 5) and the second normal reach effect (shown as “second NR effect” in FIG. 5). Is configured to run. The first normal reach production and the second normal reach production have different production times and different production contents (for example, appearing characters). Further, in the present embodiment, as the contents of the super reach effect, the first super reach effect to the seventh super reach effect (in FIG. 5, “first SR effect” to “seventh SR effect”) can be executed. Has been. The first super reach production to the seventh super reach production differ in production time and production contents (for example, appearing characters).

  In the present embodiment, it is set so that the advantage expectation is higher when the super reach effect is executed than when only the normal reach effect is executed. For this reason, the variation pattern including the super reach effect in the effect content is a variation pattern having a higher expected expectation than the change pattern including only the normal reach effect in the effect content. Further, in the present embodiment, the degree of advantageous expectation varies depending on the type of the content of the executed super reach effect. In the present embodiment, the first super reach production <second ... <third ... <4 ... Yes. For this reason, the variation pattern including the first super reach effect in the effect content <the change pattern including the second super reach effect in the effect content <. Expectation is high.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, for each type of hit game to be given, it can be determined from the variation patterns HP10 to HP18 for the jackpot effect and the variation patterns HP19 to HP21 for the probability variation suggestion effect. Various types of fluctuation patterns are determined in advance.

  In the present embodiment, when the 16R probability variation big hit (symbol A) is given, the big hit effect variation patterns HP10 to HP18 are defined as determinable variation patterns. In addition, when the 11R probability variation big hit (symbol B) is awarded, the variation patterns HP10 to HP17 for the jackpot effect are determined as deciding variation patterns, and when the 11R non-probable variation big hit (symbol C) is imparted, the jackpot effect The fluctuation patterns HP10 to HP16 for use are determined as deciding fluctuation patterns. Further, when 11R shortened probability variation big hit (symbol D) is awarded, variation patterns HP19 to HP21 for probability variation suggesting effects are determined as deciding variation patterns, and when small hit game (symbol E) is awarded, probability variation is determined. The suggestion effect change patterns HP19 and HP20 are defined as changeable patterns.

  Even in the case of a loss, when the reach effect is not performed (shown as “no reach” in FIG. 5), the change pattern HP1 for the normal effect is determined as a changeable pattern. Even in the case of a loss, when a reach effect is performed (in FIG. 5, “reach is present”), the change patterns HP2 to HP9 for the loss reach effect are determined as determinable change patterns. .

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the types of change patterns that can be determined are determined in advance for each combination of the contents of the symbol change game (special symbols or the presence or absence of reach in the case of deviation) and the production level. It has been. In the present embodiment, in principle, when an effect level indicating a high degree of advantageous expectation is determined, a variation pattern with a high advantageous expectation can be determined, while a variation pattern with a low advantageous expectation is set. It is configured to be undecidable. It should be noted that the level of advantage expectation of the variation pattern is set by the probability that each variation pattern is determined. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern including the production contents that are easy to determine at the time of a big hit, but difficult to be determined at the time of a loss, has a high degree of expectation to become a big hit (big hit expectation), and an advantageous expectation The variation pattern is set high. In addition, even if it is a big hit, the fluctuation pattern that is more easily determined when an advantageous big hit game is awarded is the expectation that the big hit game given when the big hit is a more advantageous big hit game The fluctuation pattern is set to a high degree and an advantageous expectation degree is high. Note that the fluctuation pattern set with a low degree of advantageous expectation has the opposite configuration to that described above, and is easy to determine at the time of losing and difficult to determine at the time of big hit, The variation pattern is less likely to be determined as the game is given. That is, the advantageous expectation degree in the present embodiment includes a big hit expectation degree and an expectation degree that the assigned big hit game is a more advantageous big hit game.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the reach effect is not performed and the reach effect is not performed, it is determined that the variation pattern HP1 is determined at the effect level “0”. Further, when the reach effect is performed, the change pattern HP2 or the change pattern HP3 is determined when the effect level is “1”. Further, when the reach effect is performed, the variation pattern HP4 or the variation pattern HP5 when the effect level is “2”, the variation pattern HP6 or the variation pattern HP7 when the effect level is “3”, and the effect level “4”. In some cases, the variation pattern HP8 or the variation pattern HP9 is determined. In the present embodiment, when the reach effect is out of place, the change pattern is determined in the order of change pattern HP9 <HP8 <HP7 <HP6 <HP5 <HP4 <HP3 <HP2 in consideration of the determination probability of the effect level. (The variation pattern HP2 is most easily determined).

  Further, when the big hit game based on the symbol A is given, it is determined that any variation pattern of the variation patterns HP10 to HP13 is determined when the performance level is “2”. Further, when the big hit game based on the symbol A is given, when the production level is “3”, the variation pattern HP14 or the variation pattern HP15 is determined. Further, when the big hit game based on the symbol A is determined, when the effect level is “4”, any one of the variation patterns HP16 to HP18 is determined. In the present embodiment, when a big hit game based on the pattern A is given, the order of change pattern HP18 <HP10 <HP11 <HP12 <HP13 <HP14 <HP15 <HP16 <HP17 is taken into consideration in consideration of the determination probability of the production level. Therefore, the probability that the variation pattern is determined is set high (the variation pattern HP17 is most easily determined).

  Further, when the big hit game based on the design B is given, when the effect level is “2”, any one of the variation patterns HP10 to HP13 is determined. In addition, when the big hit game based on the design B is given, when the production level is “3”, the variation pattern HP14 or the variation pattern HP15 is determined. Further, when the big hit game based on the design B is determined, when the effect level is “4”, the variation pattern HP16 or the variation pattern HP17 is determined. In the present embodiment, when a jackpot game based on the design B is given, the variation level HP10 <HP11 <HP12 <HP13 <HP14 <HP15 <HP16 <HP17 is considered in this order in consideration of the determination probability of the production level. The probability that the variation pattern is determined is set high (the variation pattern HP17 is most easily determined).

  Further, when the big hit game based on the symbol C is given, when the effect level is “2”, any one of the variation patterns HP10 to HP13 is determined. In addition, when the big hit game based on the symbol C is given, when the production level is “3”, the variation pattern HP14 or the variation pattern HP15 is determined. Further, when the big hit game based on the symbol C is determined, it is determined that the variation pattern HP16 is determined when the performance level is “4”. In the present embodiment, when a jackpot game based on the symbol C is given, the variation pattern is in the order of the variation pattern HP10 <HP11 <HP12 <HP13 <HP14 <HP15 <HP16 in consideration of the determination probability of the production level. Is set high (the variation pattern HP16 is most easily determined).

  Thus, in the case of a deviation, the variation patterns HP2 and HP3 including the normal reach effect in the effect content are more easily determined than the change patterns HP4 to HP9 including the super reach effect in the effect content. On the other hand, in the case of big hit (symbol A, symbol B, symbol C), the variation patterns HP12 to HP18 including the super reach effect in the effect content are determined rather than the change patterns HP10 and HP11 including the normal reach effect in the effect content. It is easy. For this reason, the variation pattern including the super reach effect in the effect content is a change pattern in which a higher degree of expected expectation is set than the change pattern including the normal reach effect in the effect content.

  In the case of a loss, it is easy to determine the variation pattern HP9 <HP8 <HP7 <HP6 <HP5 <HP4 in the order of the variation pattern including the super reach effect in the production contents. On the other hand, in the case of big hit (symbol A, symbol B, symbol C), variation patterns HP10 <HP11 <HP12 <HP13 <HP14 <HP15 <HP16 <HP17 are selected from among variation patterns including super reach effects in the production contents. In order, it is easier to determine. By configuring in this way, the level of advantageous expectation for each production content of the super reach production is set.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the variation pattern including the seventh super reach effect in the effect content is only the change pattern HP18 for the jackpot effect, and the jackpot game based on the symbol A is given. It is determined only when it is done. For this reason, when the seventh super reach effect is performed in the executed symbol variation game, it may be specified that the symbol variation game is a big hit, and that the 16R probability variation big hit is awarded after the symbol variation game ends. It can be done. As described above, the variation pattern HP18 is a special variation pattern that includes the contents of the effect that is not determined at the time of the loss. Therefore, in this embodiment, as described above, the big hit game based on the symbol A is given. Is also defined as the most difficult to determine variation pattern.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern HP17 for the jackpot effect including the sixth super reach effect in the effect content can be determined when the jackpot game based on the symbol A or the symbol B is given, while the symbol C When a jackpot game based on the game is awarded, it is not determined. Therefore, when the sixth super reach effect is performed in the executed symbol variation game, if the symbol variation game is a big hit, a 16R probability variation big hit or 11R probability variation big hit is given after the symbol variation game ends ( It is possible to specify that a certain change state is given. For this reason, since the variation pattern HP17 is a variation pattern that can be determined only when a jackpot game based on the symbol A or B, which is more advantageous than the symbol C, is awarded, when the jackpot game based on the symbol C is awarded The variation pattern is set to have a higher degree of expectation than the variation patterns HP10 to HP16.

  Further, when the big hit game based on the design D is given, it is determined that the variation pattern HP19 or the variation pattern HP20 is determined at any of the effect level “1” and the effect level “2”. Further, when the big hit game based on the design D is given, it is determined that any variation pattern of the variation patterns HP19 to HP21 is determined when the performance level is “3”. In the present embodiment, when a jackpot game based on the symbol D is given, the probability that the variation pattern is determined is set higher in the order of the variation pattern HP21 <HP19 <HP20 in consideration of the determination probability of the effect level. (The variation pattern HP20 is most easily determined).

  Further, when the small hit game based on the design E is given, it is determined that the variation pattern HP19 or the variation pattern HP20 is determined at any of the effect level “1” and the effect level “2”. . In the embodiment, when a small hit game is awarded, the probability that the variation pattern is determined is set higher in the order of variation pattern HP20 <HP19 in consideration of the determination probability of the effect level (variation pattern). HP19 is most easily determined).

  Thus, in the case of a small hit, the variation pattern HP19 including the normal reach effect in the production content is more easily determined than the variation pattern HP20. On the other hand, in the case of big hit (symbol D), the variation pattern HP20 is more easily determined than the variation pattern HP19. For this reason, the variation pattern for the probability variation suggestion effect including the first normal reach effect in the effect content is the variation pattern in which the higher expected expectation is set than the variation pattern for the probability change suggestion effect including the second normal reach effect in the effect content. It becomes. Further, the variation pattern HP21 in the present embodiment is determined only when a jackpot game based on the symbol D is given. For this reason, after the first super reach production is performed in the symbol variation game, when the big winning opening 24 is opened and closed in the opening mode of the 11R shortened probability variation jackpot (or the small hit game), the 11R shortened probability variation jackpot is It is possible to recognize that it has been granted. As described above, the variation pattern HP21 is a variation pattern for a special probability suggestion effect that is not determined at the time of a small hit. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the big hit game based on the symbol D is given. Even if it exists, it is defined as the fluctuation pattern that is hard to be determined.

  Further, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b shown in FIG. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random number. In addition, the jackpot determination value is compared only with the common jackpot determination value that is compared with whether or not it matches the value of the hit random number regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is given, and when the probability change state is given. There is a highly accurate hit determination value that is compared as to whether or not it matches the value of the hit random number. That is, when the probability variation state is given, if the value of the hit random number matches either the common jackpot determination value or the high probability jackpot determination value, the jackpot is determined. On the other hand, when the probability variation state is not given, if the value of the hit random number matches the common jackpot determination value, it is determined that the jackpot. In the present embodiment, there is no common value between the value determined as the common jackpot determination value and the value determined as the high probability jackpot determination value.

  Further, the small hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The small hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not it is a small hit, and there are different values from the big hit judgment values (common big hit judgment value and high-precision big hit judgment value) out of the numerical values that the hit random numbers can take. It has been established. The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in reach lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by reach random numbers. In this embodiment, the numerical value that the reach random number can take is “0 to 238”. In this embodiment, eight numerical values from “0 to 7” are defined as reach determination values when the variable state is not assigned, and reach determination when the variable state is assigned. Fifteen numerical values from “0 to 14” are defined as values. For this reason, if the value of the acquired reach random number is “7 or less (0 to 7)”, the determination result of the reach determination is always positive regardless of the manner of giving the variable state. Further, the main control ROM 30b stores a standard hit value. The determination value per common figure is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not it is per common figure, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by random numbers for determination per general figure.

Next, the effect control board 31 shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
The effect control board 31 has an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The effect control CPU 31a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating the values of various random numbers such as prefetch determination random numbers at predetermined intervals. The prefetch determination random number is a random number used when determining whether or not to perform the prefetch effect. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. In addition, the prefetch determination value is stored in the effect control ROM 31b. The prefetch determination value is a determination value used when determining whether or not to execute the prefetch effect, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the prefetch determination random number. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image display data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes such as a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, and a general game process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes such as a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, and a normal game process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms).

First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 19 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start port switch SW1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S6. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). . If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first hold storage number = 4), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S6.

  When the determination result of step S2 is affirmative (first reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the first reserved memory number and rewrites the first reserved memory number (step S3). Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the first special figure reservation storage display device 13 so as to represent the first reservation storage number after addition of 1. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the hit random number, the value of the special figure random number, the value of the reach random number, the value of the level random number, and the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 30c, The value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the first reserved storage number (step S4). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a executes a prefetch command setting process shown in FIG. 9 (step S5), and proceeds to the process of step S6. A detailed description of the prefetch command setting process in step S5 will be given later.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has proceeded to the process of step S6, determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 21 (step S6). That is, in step S6, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start port switch SW2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S6 is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S6 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S7). . If the determination result of step S7 is negative (second stored memory number = 4), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of step S7 is affirmative (second reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the second reserved memory number and rewrites the second reserved memory number (step S8). Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the second special figure reservation storage display device 15 so as to represent the second reservation storage number after the addition of 1. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the hit random number, the value of the special figure random number, the value of the reach random number, the value of the level random number, and the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 30c, The value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the second reserved storage number (step S9). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a executes a prefetch command setting process shown in FIG. 9 (step S10), and ends the special symbol input process. Thus, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that acquires various random number values functions as a random number acquisition unit. In the present embodiment, the effect control RAM 31c that stores various random number values acquired by the main control CPU 30a in a predetermined storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number serves as the random number storage means. Function.

  The pre-read command setting process in step S5 of the special symbol input process is performed by detecting various determination (preliminary determination) results based on each random number value acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 19 as a winning detection. This is a process for generating and outputting various prefetch commands for causing the effect control board 31 to grasp before the execution start time of the symbol variation game based thereon. In addition, the pre-read command setting process in step S10 of the special symbol input process includes various determination (preliminary determination) results based on each random number value acquired when the game ball has won the second start winning opening 21. This is a process for generating and outputting various prefetch commands for causing the effect control board 31 to grasp before the execution start time of the symbol variation game based on the detection.

Here, the prefetch command will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the prefetch command is composed of a plurality of areas for storing various types of information. The prefetch command in the present embodiment includes a special figure information area, a hold number information area, a game information area, a hit random number area, and an effect level area. Information indicating special symbols (special symbol information) is stored in the special figure information area, and information (holding number information) indicating the first reserved memory number (or second reserved memory number) is stored in the reserved number information area. Stored. The game information area stores information (special game information) indicating the type of the symbol variation game (the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game), and the hit random number region stores the value of the hit random number. Information indicating what kind of value (per-random number information) is stored. In the effect level area, information indicating the effect level that can be determined (effect level information) is stored.

  In this embodiment, as the types of prefetch commands, the common big hit prefetch command, the high probability big prefetch command, the small hit prefetch command, the miss reach prefetch command, the miss unspecified look ahead command and the miss normal read ahead command. There is.

  The common jackpot look-ahead command is a look-ahead command that stores information indicating that it is a big hit regardless of the manner in which the probability variation state is applied. Further, the high-accuracy big hit look-ahead command is a pre-read command in which information indicating that a big hit is given only when the probability variation state is given. The small hit prefetch command is a prefetch command in which information indicating that a small hit is stored. The outlook reach prefetch command is a prefetch command in which information indicating that the reach effect is performed regardless of the manner of giving the variable state is stored. In addition, information indicating that the execution of the reach effect is different depending on the mode of giving the change state (the reach effect is performed only when the change state is given) is stored in the pre-read command that is unspecified. This is a read-ahead command. In addition, the off-normal read-ahead command is a read-ahead command in which information indicating that the reach effect is not performed regardless of the application state of the variable state is stored.

Hereinafter, prefetch command setting processing for generating and outputting various prefetch commands will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S21 of the prefetch command setting process performed in step S5 of the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the hit random number among the random numbers acquired in step S4 matches the common jackpot determination value. judge. In step S21 of the prefetch command setting process performed in step S10 of the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the winning random number among the random numbers acquired in step S9 matches the common jackpot determination value. Determine whether. As described above, when the main control CPU 30a detects the winning of the game ball at the start winning ports 19 and 21, the value of the winning random number stored in the main control RAM 30c at the time of detecting the winning is surely ( Whether or not it is determined that the jackpot will be determined (regardless of the mode of giving the probability variation state) is determined in advance (pre-jacket determination). Hereinafter, in the description of the prefetch command setting process, when simply indicated as “acquired random number”, the prefetch command setting process performed in step S5 of the special symbol input process indicates “random number acquired in step S4”. In the prefetch command setting process performed in step S10, “random number acquired in step S9” is indicated.

  If the determination result in step S21 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a generates a common jackpot prefetch command (step S22), and sets the output buffer so that it is output to the effect control CPU 31a in the output process (step S22). Step S23). In step S22, the main control CPU 30a stores hit random number information indicating that the value of the hit random number among the obtained random numbers matches the common big hit determination value in the hit random number area of the prefetch command. In step S22, the main control CPU 30a identifies and identifies the jackpot symbol (symbol A, symbol B, symbol C or symbol D) determined based on the value of the special symbol random number among the acquired random numbers. Special figure information indicating the jackpot symbol is stored in the special figure information area of the prefetch command. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a process similar to that for determining a jackpot symbol using a special symbol random number in a special symbol start process, which will be described later, and identifies the type of jackpot game that can be given. In step S22, the main control CPU 30a specifies the effect level determined based on the value of the level random number among the acquired random numbers and the jackpot symbol indicated by the special figure information stored in the special figure information area. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the same process as when determining the effect level in the special symbol start process described later, and specifies the determined effect level. The main control CPU 30a stores the effect level information indicating the specified effect level in the effect level area of the prefetch command.

  Further, in step S22 in the prefetch command setting process performed in step S5, the main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved memory number, and stores the reserved number information indicating the specified first reserved memory number in the reserved number information area of the prefetch command. Is stored in the game information area of the prefetch command, indicating that the game is the first symbol variation game. On the other hand, in step S22 in the prefetch command setting process performed in step S10, the main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved memory number, and stores the reserved number information indicating the specified second reserved memory number in the reserved number information area of the prefetch command. Is stored in the game information area of the pre-read command.

  When the special figure game information stored in the hold number information area of the prefetch command is the special figure game information indicating that it is the first symbol variation game, it is stored in the hold number information area stored in the hold number information area. From the number-of-holds information, it is possible to specify the number of times the symbol variation game is executed as the first symbol variation game (execution order). Similarly, when the special figure game information stored in the hold number information area of the prefetch command is special figure game information indicating that it is the second symbol variation game, the hold number information area stored in the hold number information area From the stored number-of-holds information, it is possible to specify how many times the symbol variation game is executed as the second symbol variation game (execution order). That is, the execution order is the number of times the first symbol variation game is executed when the first symbol variation game is continuously executed, or what is performed when the second symbol variation game is continuously executed. It shows whether it becomes the 2nd symbol fluctuation game performed for the 2nd time. Note that the special-purpose game information and the number-of-holds information in this embodiment are the hold information.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S21 is negative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the winning random number among the acquired random numbers matches the highly probable winning determination value (step S24). As described above, when the main control CPU 30a detects the winning of the game ball at the start winning ports 19 and 21, the value of the winning random number stored in the main control RAM 30c at the time of detecting the winning is a probable change state in the big hit determination. It is determined in advance whether or not it is determined that a big hit will be made only when the is given (preliminary high-precision big hit determination). If the determination result in step S23 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a generates a highly probable prefetch command (step S25), and sets the output buffer so as to output to the effect control CPU 31a in the output process. (Step S23).

  In step S <b> 25, the main control CPU 30 a stores hit random number information indicating that the value of the hit random number among the obtained random numbers is a value that matches the highly probable hit determination value in the hit random number area of the prefetch command. In step S25, as in step S22, the main control CPU 30a specifies a jackpot symbol based on the value of the special figure random number among the obtained random numbers, and pre-reads the special figure information indicating the identified jackpot symbol. Is stored in the special figure information area. In step S25, the main control CPU 30a specifies the effect level determined by the value of the level random number among the acquired random numbers, as in step S22. The main control CPU 30a stores the effect level information indicating the specified effect level in the effect level area of the prefetch command. In step S25, the main control CPU 30a stores the number-of-holds information in the number-of-holds information area of the pre-read command and stores the special game information in the game information area of the pre-read command by the same process as step S22. .

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S24 is negative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the hit random number among the acquired random numbers matches the small hit determination value (step S26). In this way, when the main control CPU 30a detects a winning game ball at the start winning ports 19 and 21, the value of the winning random number stored in the main control RAM 30c at the time of detecting the winning is determined in the small hit determination performed later. Whether or not it is determined to be a small hit is determined in advance. If the determination result in step S26 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a generates a small hit prefetch command (step S27), and sets the output buffer so that it is output to the effect control CPU 31a in the output process ( Step S23).

  In step S27, the main control CPU 30a stores hit random number information indicating that the value of the hit random number among the obtained random numbers is a value that matches the small hit determination value in the hit random number area of the prefetch command. In step S27, the main control CPU 30a stores special figure information indicating the small hit symbol (symbol E) in the special symbol information area of the prefetch command. In step S27, as in step S22, the main control CPU 30a executes an effect level determined by the level random number value of the acquired random numbers when executing the symbol variation game to which the small hit game is given. Identify. The main control CPU 30a stores the effect level information indicating the specified effect level in the effect level area of the prefetch command. In step S27, the main control CPU 30a stores the number-of-holds information in the number-of-holds information area of the pre-read command and stores the special game information in the game information area of the pre-read command by the same process as in step S22. .

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S26 is negative, the main control CPU 30a positively determines the reach determination result of the reach random number among the acquired random numbers regardless of the imparted state of the variable state. It is determined whether or not it matches the value (common reach determination value, “7 or less (0 to 7)”) (step S28). In this way, when the main control CPU 30a detects a winning game ball at the start winning ports 19 and 21, the reach random number value stored in the main control RAM 30c at the time of detecting the winning is the reach determination result. A prior determination is made as to whether or not an affirmative determination is made (advance reach determination). If the determination result in step S27 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a generates an outlier reach prefetch command (step S29), and sets the output buffer so as to output to the effect control CPU 31a in the output process (step S29). Step S23).

  In step S29, the main control CPU 30a confirms that the value of the winning random number among the acquired random numbers is a value that is not coincident with any of the common big hit determination value, the high probability big hit determination value, and the small hit determination value. The indicated hit random number information is stored in the hit random number area of the prefetch command. In step S29, the main control CPU 30a stores the special figure information indicating the off symbol in the special figure information area of the prefetch command. In step S29, the main control CPU 30a specifies the effect level determined by the value of the level random number among the obtained random numbers when executing the out-of-pattern changing game for performing the reach effect. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the same process as when determining the effect level in the special symbol start process described later, and specifies the determined effect level. The main control CPU 30a stores the effect level information indicating the specified effect level in the effect level area of the prefetch command. In step S29, the main control CPU 30a stores the hold number information in the hold number information area of the prefetch command and stores the special game information in the game information area of the prefetch command in the same process as in step S22. .

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S28 is negative, the main control CPU 30a may determine that the reach random number value in the acquired random number is affirmative depending on the state of change. It is determined whether or not it matches (highly accurate reach determination value, “8 to 14”) (step S30). In this way, when the main control CPU 30a detects a winning game ball at the start winning ports 19 and 21, the reach random number value stored in the main control RAM 30c at the time of detecting the winning is the reach determination result. It is determined in advance whether or not to change depending on the application mode of the variable state. If the determination result in step S30 is affirmative, that is, if the reach random number value is a value for which the reach determination determination result is affirmative only when the variable state is given, the main control CPU 30a , A prefetch command with unspecified deviation is generated (step S31), and is set in the output buffer so as to be output to the effect control CPU 31a in the output process (step S23).

  In step S31, the main control CPU 30a confirms that the value of the winning random number among the acquired random numbers is a value that is not coincident with any of the common big hit determination value, the high probability big hit determination value, and the small hit determination value. The indicated hit random number information is stored in the hit random number area of the prefetch command. In step S31, the main control CPU 30a stores the special figure information indicating the off symbol in the special figure information area of the prefetch command. Further, in step S31, the main control CPU 30a determines that the effect level is unspecified because the effect level determined by the mode of application of the variable state is different even if the value is the same level random number (the variable state is The effect level information indicating that the reach effect is performed only when it is given) is stored in the effect level area of the pre-read command. In step S31, the main control CPU 30a stores the number-of-holds information in the number-of-holds information area of the pre-read command and stores the special game information in the game information area of the pre-read command by the same processing as in step S22. .

  Further, when the determination result of step S30 is negative, that is, when the reach random number value is a value that reliably determines the reach determination determination result regardless of the changing mode, the main control CPU 30a An out-of-order normal prefetch command is generated (step S32), and set in the output buffer so as to be output to the effect control CPU 31a in the output process (step S23).

  In step S32, the main control CPU 30a determines that the value of the winning random number among the acquired random numbers is a value that is not coincident with any of the common big hit determination value, the high probability big hit determination value, and the small hit determination value. The indicated hit random number information is stored in the hit random number area of the prefetch command. In step S32, the main control CPU 30a stores the special figure information indicating the off symbol in the special figure information area of the prefetch command. In step S32, the main control CPU 30a specifies the effect level determined by the value of the level random number among the obtained random numbers when executing the symbol variation game that does not perform the reach effect (this embodiment). (Only production level “0”). The main control CPU 30a stores the effect level information indicating the specified effect level in the effect level area of the prefetch command. In step S32, the main control CPU 30a stores the number-of-holds information in the number-of-holds information area of the pre-read command and stores the special game information in the game information area of the pre-read command by the same processing as in step S22. .

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the special symbol start process, as shown in FIG. 10, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a symbol variation game or a winning game (big hit game and small hit game) is being executed (step S41). If the determination result of step S41 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S41 is negative, that is, if the symbol variation game is not being played and the winning game is not being played, the main control CPU 30a reads the second reserved memory number (step S42), It is determined whether or not the stored number is greater than “0 (zero)” (step S43). When the determination result of step S43 is negative (second reserved memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a reads the first reserved memory number (step S44), and the first reserved memory number is “0 (zero)”. It is determined whether it is larger than (step S45). When the determination result of step S45 is negative (first reserved memory count = 0), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When the determination result in step S45 is affirmative (first reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 30a indicates a value indicating that the first symbol variation game is to be executed in the special symbol variation processing flag (this embodiment). Then, “0”) is set (step S46). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first reserved memory number (step S47), and various random numbers (per-random numbers, special figure random numbers) stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number “1”. , Reach random number, level random number and variation pattern distribution random number) are acquired (step S48). In step S48, the main control CPU 30a that has acquired various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “1” uses the acquired various random number values currently being executed. Are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “2” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “1”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “2”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “3”. The values of various random numbers stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number “4” are deleted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the main control CPU 30a that has finished the process of step S48 determines whether or not the acquired value of the hit random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. Then, the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed (step S49). At this time, when the probability variation state is given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired hit random number value matches the common jackpot determination value or the high probability jackpot determination value. On the other hand, when the probability variation state is not given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired hit random number value matches the common jackpot determination value. That is, the number of jackpot judgment values when the probability variation state is given (the number of common jackpot judgment values + the number of high probability jackpot judgment values) is the number of jackpot judgment values when the probability variation state is not given (common It is larger than the number of jackpot judgment values. For this reason, when the probability variation state is imparted, the determination result of the big hit determination is likely to be affirmative (prone to the jackpot) compared to when the probability variation state is not imparted. Thus, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a big hit determination means.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S49 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a selects the first special symbol display device 12 (the second symbol variation game of the second symbol variation game) from the jackpot symbol based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol random number value. In this case, the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display device 14) is determined (step S50). In this embodiment, the numerical value that the special figure random number can take is set to “0 to 99”. In this embodiment, in step S50, the main control CPU 30a determines that the special figure random number value is “0 to 39” and the special figure random number value is “40 to 64”. Is determined so that symbol B is determined when symbol B is a value of "65 to 79" and symbol D is determined when the value of the random number is "80 to 99". . Therefore, the main control CPU 30a can determine the type of jackpot symbol based on the acquired special figure random number value.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines an effect level based on the determined final stop symbol (big hit symbol) and the obtained level random number value (a combination of the big hit symbol and the level random number value) (step S51). In the present embodiment, the numerical value that can be taken by the level random number is “0 to 240” (241 in total). Also, as shown in FIG. 6, 241 level random numbers are assigned one or more random numbers to the effect level that can be determined for each jackpot symbol (symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, symbol D). For example, in design A, 13 random numbers are assigned to the effect level “2”, 48 random numbers are assigned to the effect level “3”, and 180 random numbers are assigned to the effect level “4”. Further, the 241 level random numbers are distributed more to the effect level (for example, the effect level “4”) that shows a higher degree of expected expectation as the winning game is more advantageous to the player. For example, in design A, 180 random numbers are assigned to effect level “4”, while in design B, 155 random numbers are assigned to effect level “4”.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the effect level in step S51, the type of jackpot symbol, the determined effect level, and the value of the obtained random number for distributing the distributed pattern (the jackpot symbol and the effect level). And a variation pattern distribution random number value), a variation pattern is determined from the determinable variation patterns (step S52). In the present embodiment, the numerical value that can be taken by the random number for allocating the fluctuation pattern is “0 to 250” (251 in total). Also, as shown in FIG. 6, 251 fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers are assigned one or more random numbers to change patterns that can be determined for each effect level in each jackpot symbol. For example, when the design level is “3”, 100 random numbers are assigned to the fluctuation pattern HP14 and 151 random numbers are assigned to the fluctuation pattern HP15.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 11, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs various control commands for the symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Is executed (step S53). Specifically, the main control CPU 30a specifies a variation pattern, and also designates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of a symbol variation game, and a game designation command for identifying a value set in the special symbol variation processing flag. Is output first. At the same time, when the value set in the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” (when the first symbol variation game is executed), the main control CPU 30a displays the first symbol so that the special symbol is variably displayed. The display content of the figure display device 12 is controlled. At this time, when the value set in the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” (when the second symbol variation game is executed), the main control CPU 30a displays the second symbol so that the special symbol is variably displayed. The display content of the special figure display device 14 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game and outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol at the time of the presentation time set in the designated variation pattern, and displays the determined final stop symbol as a fixed stop display. The display content of the display device 12 (the second special symbol display device 14 when the second symbol variation game is executed) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S49 is negative, that is, if it is not a big hit, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired hit random number value matches the small hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. To determine a small hit (small lottery) (step S54). If the determination result of step S54 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines a small hit symbol as the final stop symbol (step S55).

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines an effect level based on the determination result (a small hit game (symbol E) is given) and the acquired level random number (step S56). Further, as shown in FIG. 6, as the value of 241 level random numbers, one or more random numbers are distributed to determinable performance levels as in the case of big hit. In addition, 241 level random numbers are given when the small hit game is given, rather than when the 11R shortened probability variable big hit (symbol D) that is a hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the small hit game is given. The performance level (for example, production level “1”) indicating a low degree of advantageous expectation is often assigned. For example, in design D, 81 random numbers are assigned to effect level “1”, while in design E, 163 random numbers are assigned to effect level “1”.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the effect level in step S56, the special effect (small hit symbol), the determined effect level, and the acquired random value for variation pattern distribution (small hit). A variation pattern is determined from among the determinable variation patterns based on the combination of the design, the effect level, and the random number for variation pattern distribution (step S57). As shown in FIG. 6, one or more random numbers are allocated to the variation patterns that can be determined for each effect level in the small hit symbol among 251 variation pattern distribution random numbers. For example, when the production level is “1”, 200 random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern HP20 and 51 random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern HP21.

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S53, and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Various related processes are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol at the time of the presentation time set in the designated variation pattern, and displays the determined final stop symbol as a fixed stop display. The display content of the display device 12 (the second special symbol display device 14 when the second symbol variation game is executed) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S54 is negative, that is, neither big hit nor small hit, the main control CPU 30a matches the acquired reach random number value with the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. It is determined whether or not to perform reach determination (reach lottery) (step S58). At this time, when the variable state is given, the main control CPU 30a determines that the acquired reach random number value is a common reach determination value or a high-accuracy reach determination value ("14 or less (0 to 14)"). It is determined whether or not it matches. On the other hand, if the variable state is not given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired reach random number value matches the common reach determination value ("7 or less (0 to 7)"). judge. If the determination result in step S58 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines a symbol that is not the final stop symbol (step S59).

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines an effect level based on the determination result (which is out of position and performs a reach effect) and the value of the acquired level random number (step S60). Further, as shown in FIG. 6, as the value of 241 level random numbers, one or more random numbers are distributed to determinable performance levels as in the case of big hit. In addition, the 241 level random numbers have an effect level (for example, an effect level) indicating a lower degree of advantageous expectation when it is out of place than when it is a big hit (when the special symbol is symbol A, symbol B, symbol C). Many random numbers are distributed to “2”). For example, in the case of design A, 13 random numbers are assigned to the production level “2”, whereas in the case of performing the reach production with the design of the loss, 84 random numbers are assigned to the production level “2”.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a having determined the effect level in step S60 determines whether or not the reach effect is executed, the determined effect level, and the obtained random number for changing the pattern distribution (the presence or absence of the reach effect and the effect level and the fluctuation). A variation pattern is determined from among the determinable variation patterns based on a combination of pattern distribution random numbers (step S61). As shown in FIG. 6, 251 variation pattern distribution random numbers are out of order, and one or more random numbers are distributed to variation patterns that can be determined for each effect level when a reach effect is performed. For example, when the reach level is “2” and the reach level is “2”, 151 random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern HP4 and 100 random numbers are allocated to the variation pattern HP5.

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S53, and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Various related processes are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol at the time of the presentation time set in the designated variation pattern, and displays the determined final stop symbol as a fixed stop display. The display content of the display device 12 (the second special symbol display device 14 when the second symbol variation game is executed) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S58 is negative, that is, when the reach effect is not executed in the out-of-sequence symbol change game, the main control CPU 30a determines the out-of-sequence symbol as the final stop symbol (step S62).

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines an effect level based on the determination result (it is out of place and no reach effect is performed) and the value of the acquired level random number (step S63). Further, as shown in FIG. 6, as the value of 241 level random numbers, one or more random numbers are distributed to determinable performance levels as in the case of big hit. In the present embodiment, when the reach effect is not performed and the reach effect is not performed, the effect level “0” is always determined. Therefore, all level random numbers are assigned to the effect level “0”. Yes.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a having determined the effect level in step S63, whether or not the reach effect is executed, the determined effect level and the obtained random number for changing the pattern distribution (the presence or absence of the reach effect and the effect level and the fluctuation) Based on the combination of the random numbers for pattern distribution), a variation pattern is determined from among the determinable variation patterns (step S64). As shown in FIG. 6, 251 variation pattern distribution random numbers are out of order and one or more random numbers are distributed to variation patterns that can be determined for each effect level when no reach effect is performed. . In the present embodiment, since the variation pattern HP1 is always determined when it is out of reach and the reach effect is not performed, all the variation pattern distribution random numbers are distributed to the variation pattern HP1. Yes.

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S53, and, as described above, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Various related processes are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol at the time of the presentation time set in the designated variation pattern, and displays the determined final stop symbol as a fixed stop display. The display content of the display device 12 (the second special symbol display device 14 when the second symbol variation game is executed) is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbols when the production time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, when the determination result in step S43 is affirmative (second reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 30a executes the second symbol variation game on the special symbol variation processing flag. (In this embodiment, “1”) is set (step S65). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second reserved memory number (step S66), and various random numbers (per-random numbers, special figure random numbers) stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “1”. Then, the values of reach random number, level random number and fluctuation pattern distribution random number) are acquired (step S67). In step S67, the main control CPU 30a that acquired the various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” uses the acquired various random number values currently being executed. Are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2” in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2”. Next, the main control CPU 30a stores various random number values stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “3”. The values of various random numbers stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “4” are deleted. Further, the main control CPU 30a that has finished the process of step S67 performs the processes after step S49 described above, as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the symbol variation game to be executed is a big hit, the type of jackpot symbol is determined based on the value of the special symbol random number, and the type of jackpot game to be given after the big bonus symbol variation game is ended. The main control CPU 30a to determine functions as special figure determination means. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a big hit determining means and a level determining means for making a big hit determination as to whether or not the hit value of the hit random number matches the big hit determination value and for determining the production level. To do. Further, in this embodiment, the advantageous expectation degree is an expectation degree that the symbol variation game will be a big hit (big hit expectation degree) and an expectation degree that a big hit game advantageous to the player is given. . In the present embodiment, when the big hit is made, the performance level “4” is more easily determined than when the big hit, and an advantageous big hit game is given even when the big hit. The production level “4” is easily determined. For this reason, the production level indicates the degree of expectation of the big hit, since it indicates the degree of expectation of the big hit and the degree of expectation that the big hit game advantageous to the player is given.

Next, a winning game process executed by the main control CPU 30a after the symbol variation game won in the big hit lottery (or the small hit lottery) will be described.
In the winning game process, the main control CPU 30a first outputs an opening command for instructing execution of the opening effect to the effect control CPU 31a. Next, when the main control CPU 30a wins the big win lottery, after the opening effect is finished, each round game (in the case of the small win game, in the first to eleventh opening / closing times of the big winning opening 24). Control). That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of the round game to the effect control CPU 31a at the start of each round game, and controls the opening and closing of the big winning opening 24. When the final round game (in the case of a small hit game, the eleventh big winning opening 24 is opened) is finished, the main control CPU 30a sends an ending command to instruct the execution of the ending effect to the effect control CPU 31a. Output to. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game or the small hit game when the ending effect ends.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets various main control setting flags and various main control limiter values stored in the main control RAM 30c after the outlier symbol variation game ends or after the winning game ends. The main control limiter includes a main control probability variation limiter in which the number of symbol variation games to be executed before the end of the probability variation state is set, and a symbol variation performed before the end of the variation state. There is a main control variable limiter in which the number of games is set. The main control setting flag includes a main control probability variation flag for specifying the probability variation state imparting mode and a main control operation flag for identifying the variation mode imparting mode.

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol A, the symbol B, or the symbol D, the main control CPU 30a has a value indicating that the probability change state is given to the main control probability variation flag after the big hit game based on the symbol (this embodiment). In the embodiment, “1”) is set, and “80” is set to the main control probability variation limiter. On the other hand, when determining the symbol C, the main control CPU 30a indicates that the probability change state is not given to the main control probability change flag after the big hit game based on the symbol (in this embodiment, “0”). )).

  When the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol A, the symbol B or the symbol C, the main control operation flag after the big hit game ends regardless of the value set in the main control operation flag before the big hit game starts. Is set to a value indicating that the variable state is given (in this embodiment, “1”), and “80” is set to the main control variable limiter. When the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol D and the main control operation flag is set to "1" before the big hit game is started, the main control CPU 30a sets "1" to the main control operation flag after the big hit game is ended. In addition to setting, “80” is set in the main control variable limiter. On the other hand, when determining the symbol D, the main control CPU 30a sets a value ("0" in this embodiment) indicating that the main control operation flag has not been given a change state before the big hit game is started. If it has been set, “0” is set to the main control operation flag after the end of the big hit game.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol or the small hit symbol (symbol E), if the main control probability variation flag is set to “1”, the main control CPU 30a starts from the value set in the main control probability variation limiter. Subtract 1 When the value of the main control probability variation limiter after subtraction becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” in the main control probability variation flag.

  Further, when determining the off symbol or the small hit symbol, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the value set in the main control variable limiter when the main control operation flag is set to "1". . When the value of the main control variable limiter after subtraction becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” in the main control operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the main control probability change flag and the main control operation flag during the big hit game and the small hit game, respectively.

  As described above, the main control CPU 30a can specify the presently given state of the certain change state and the present state of the change state by referring to the main control probability change flag and the main control operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30a can specify the number of remaining symbol variation games to be executed when the probability variation state is finished by referring to the value set in the main control probability variation limiter. . Also, the main control CPU 30a refers to the value set in the main control variable limiter to identify how many remaining symbol variation games are executed and the provision of the variable state ends. Can do.

Next, the ordinary game process will be described.
First, in the normal game process, the main control CPU 30a receives a detection signal output from the normal symbol variation switch SW3 and detects that a game ball has entered the gate 27. Is obtained from the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the universal figure determination random number obtained at the start of the universal game matches the universal figure determination value. At this time, when the variable state is given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the per-normal map determination value at the time of the change corresponds to the acquired normal per-determined random number value. Make a decision. On the other hand, when the variable state is not given, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the per-normal figure determination value at the time of non-change and the acquired random number for normal figure determination match. Make a decision. It should be noted that the number of judgment values per ordinary figure at the time of change is set larger than the number of judgment values per ordinary figure at the time of non-change.

  If the determination result of the normal symbol hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal hit symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 16 to be confirmed and stopped, and ends the normal symbol game process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the normal symbol hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal off symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 16 in a fixed stop state, and ends the normal game processing.

  When the normal symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display device 16 is determined and the normal game processing is finished, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 16 so as to display the variable symbol in a variable manner. Further, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display device 16 to display the fixed symbol determined by the general game processing on the normal symbol display device 16 when the fluctuation time of the normal game has elapsed. Note that the fluctuation time of the ordinary game in this embodiment is “0.7 (seconds)” when the variable state is given at the start of the common game, and “5” when the variable state is not given. (Seconds) "is set. In addition, the symbol variation game and the regular game can be executed simultaneously.

Next, a description will be given of the control related to a game per base map executed by the main control CPU 30a when a lottery per base map is won.
The main control CPU 30a is assigned a variable state (when the normal control symbol is set to “1”) when the normal game per normal game ends (when the normal winning symbol is displayed in a fixed stop). The opening / closing blade 22 is opened five times, and the opening of the opening / closing blade 22 is controlled so as to maintain the open state until “0.72 (seconds)” elapses after the opening of each opening. . On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the opening / closing blade 22 when the variable game state is not given at the end of the normal game per normal map ("0" is set in the main control operation flag). The opening of the opening / closing blade 22 is controlled so that the opening state is maintained until “0.2 (seconds)” has elapsed since the opening was performed once.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the variation control designation command and the special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 determines a decoration symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the instruction content of the command. Hereinafter, the determination of the decorative symbols to be displayed on the effect display device 11 to be confirmed and stopped will be described.

  When design A, design B, or design C is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a decorative design to be displayed in a definitive stop from a jackpot symbol combination (for example, [333] or [777]). In addition, when the design D or the small hit design (design E) is designated, the effect control CPU 31a displays the decorative design to be confirmed and stopped from among the symbol combinations suggested by the probability change (for example, [343] and [787]). To decide.

  In addition, when the outlier design is designated and the variation pattern for the outlier reach production is designated, the effect control CPU 31a includes the outlier symbol combination including the reach symbol combination (for example, [323] and [757]). ) To determine the decorative pattern to be confirmed and stopped. In addition, when the outlier design is designated and the variation pattern for the outlier normal production is designated, the effect control CPU 31a does not include the reach design combination (for example, [426] and [211]). ) To determine the decorative pattern to be confirmed and stopped.

  When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to display the decorative symbols in each column in a variable manner and start the symbol variable game. Then, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the effect display device 11 to confirm and stop the symbol combination of the decorative symbols determined to be confirmed and stopped.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a sets the values of various effect control setting flags and various effect control limiters stored in the effect control RAM 31c after the outlier symbol variation game ends or after the winning game ends. In the production control limiter, the production control probability variation limiter in which the number of symbol variation games executed until the end of the probability variation state is set, and the symbol variation performed until the variation state is completed. There is an effect control variable limiter in which the number of games is set. Further, the production control setting flags include a production control probability variation flag for specifying the probability variation state provision mode and a performance control operation flag for identifying the variation state provision mode.

  Then, when design A, design B or design D is designated, the effect control CPU 31a is a value indicating that the probability change state is given to the effect control probability change flag after the big hit game based on the design is finished (this book). In the embodiment, “1”) is set, and “80” is set to the effect control probability variation limiter. On the other hand, when the symbol C is designated, the effect control CPU 31a indicates that after the jackpot game based on the symbol is finished, a value indicating that the probability variation state is not given to the effect control probability variation flag (in this embodiment, “ 0 ”).

  In addition, when design A, design B or design C is designated, the effect control CPU 31a operates for effect control after the end of the big hit game, regardless of the value set in the effect control operation flag before the start of the big hit game. A value (“1” in this embodiment) indicating that the variable state is given to the flag is set, and “80” is set to the effect control variable limiter. In addition, when the symbol D is specified, the effect control CPU 31a sets “1” to the effect control operation flag after the big hit game ends when the effect control operation flag is set to “1” before the big hit game starts. And “80” is set in the production control variable limiter. On the other hand, when the symbol D is designated, the effect control CPU 31a has a value (in this embodiment, “0”) indicating that no change state is given to the effect control operation flag before the big hit game is started. If it has been set, “0” is set to the effect control operation flag after the big hit game ends.

  The effect control CPU 31a also sets the value set in the effect control probability variation limiter when "1" is set in the effect control probability variation flag when the off symbol or the small hit symbol (design E) is designated. Subtract 1 from. When the value of the effect control probability variation limiter after subtraction becomes “0”, the effect control CPU 31a sets “0” in the effect control probability variation flag. Further, when the off symbol or the small hit symbol is designated and the production control operation flag is set to “1”, the production control CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the value set in the production control variable limiter. To do. When the value of the effect control variable limiter after subtraction becomes “0”, the effect control CPU 31a sets “0” in the effect control operation flag.

  Thus, the CPU 31a for production control can specify the application mode of the probability change state and the application mode of the variable state at the present time by referring to the production control probability change flag and the production control operation flag. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can specify the number of remaining symbol variation games to be executed when the probability variation state is finished by referring to the value set in the effect control probability variation limiter. . In addition, the effect control CPU 31a refers to the value set in the effect control variable limiter, and specifies how many remaining symbol variation games are executed to end the provision of the variable state. Can do.

  In this embodiment, when the variable state is not given, if the execution of the first symbol variation game is suspended, the first symbol variation game is targeted (execution of the prefetching effect) and the prefetch effect is executed. On the other hand, even if the execution of the second symbol variation game is suspended, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second symbol variation game. Also, when the variable state is given, even if the execution of the first symbol variation game is suspended, the pre-reading effect is not executed on the first symbol variation game as an object (execution trigger of the pre-reading effect). When the execution of the 2 symbol variation game is suspended, the pre-reading effect can be executed for the second symbol variation game. Hereinafter, control related to execution of the pre-reading effect will be described.

  When the prefetch command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the effect control CPU 31a corresponds to the reserved memory number that can be specified from the special game information stored in the game information area and the hold number information area of the prefetch command and the hold number information. The input prefetch command is stored in a predetermined storage area of the effect control RAM 31c. For example, a prefetch command in which special figure game information indicating the second symbol variation game is stored in the game information area of the prefetch command and hold number information indicating the hold memory number “3” is stored in the hold number information area. When input, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command input in the storage area of the effect control RAM 31c corresponding to the second reserved storage number “3”. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control RAM 31c that stores the prefetch command composed of various information functions as an information storage unit.

  In addition, when the CPU 31a for production control receives a game designation command and a variation pattern that can identify the first symbol variation game, the first prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number “2” is displayed. The data is stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “1”. Next, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number “2”. Next, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number “3”, and The prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the number of reserved storage “4” is deleted.

  In addition, when the CPU 31a for effect control receives a game designation command and a variation pattern that can identify the second symbol variation game, the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “2” The data is stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “1”. Next, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “3” in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “2”. Next, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “4” in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “3”, and 2. The prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number “4” is deleted.

  When the prefetch command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the effect control CPU 31a performs the prefetch effect processing shown in FIG. 12, and inputs the prefetch command that can be the target of the prefetch effect (execution trigger of the prefetch effect). It is determined whether or not the pre-reading effect is executed, and the contents of the effect when the pre-reading effect is executed are determined. Hereinafter, the prefetch effect process will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the prefetch command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the input prefetch command is an unspecified prefetch command or a deviating normal prefetch command (step S71). In other words, in step S71, the effect control CPU 31a stores the special symbol information indicating the shift symbol in the special symbol information region of the pre-read command, and the effect level is unspecified in the effect level region or the effect level “ It is determined whether or not effect level information indicating "0" is stored. Then, when the determination result in step S71 is affirmative, that is, when an unspecified pre-read command or a deviating normal pre-read command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the pre-read effect process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S71 is negative, the value set in the effect control operation flag is referred to and whether or not the variable state is given (“1” is set in the effect control operation flag). Whether or not) (step S72). If the determination result in step S72 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not special figure game information indicating the second symbol variation game is stored in the game information area of the input prefetch command (step S72). S73). When the determination result in step S73 is negative, that is, when the pre-read command in which the special figure game information indicating the first symbol variation game is stored in the game information area when the variable state is given, the effect control is performed. The CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S73 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a proceeds to the process of step S75.

  When the determination result in step S72 is negative, that is, when the variable state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a displays the special symbol game information indicating the first symbol variation game in the game information area of the input prefetch command. Is stored (step S74). If the determination result in step S74 is negative, that is, if the pre-read command in which the special figure game information indicating the second symbol variation game is stored in the game information area when the variable state is not given, the effect control is performed. The CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S74 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control proceeds to the process of step S75.

  Proceeding to step S75 (if the determination result in step S73 is affirmative, or if the determination result in step S74 is affirmative), the effect control CPU 31a determines that the input prefetch command is a big hit prefetch command (common big hit prefetch command). Whether or not it is a highly probable prefetch command). That is, in step S75, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not special symbol information indicating symbol A, symbol B, symbol C or symbol D is stored in the symbol information area of the prefetch command. If the determination result in step S75 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a performs a prefetch effect execution determination process shown in FIG. 13 (step S76), and then ends the prefetch effect process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S75 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a executes a symbol variation game corresponding to the input prefetch command (the symbol variation game triggered by the main control CPU 30a outputting the prefetch command). In this case, it is determined whether or not the probability variation state is given (step S77). Specifically, in step S77, the effect control CPU 31a obtains the hold number information stored in the hold number information area of the input prefetch command from the value (information acquired at the time of determination) set in the effect control probability variation limiter. It is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the number of reserved memories to be displayed is “0 (zero)” or more, and the manner of giving the probability variation state at the time of symbol variation game execution is determined. Note that, as described above, the value indicated by the hold number information stored in the hold number information area of the prefetch command is one of the first hold memory number and the second hold memory number. In other words, when the variable state is given, the second symbol whose execution is suspended when assuming that the second symbol variation game is continuously executed without the first symbol variation game being executed. The manner of giving the probability change state at the time of execution of the variable game is determined. In addition, when the variable state is not given, the first symbol whose execution is suspended when assuming that the first symbol variation game is continuously executed without the second symbol variation game being executed. The manner of giving the probability change state at the time of execution of the variable game is determined.

  If the determination result in step S77 is affirmative, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command becomes a big hit regardless of whether the input prefetch command is a common big hit prefetch command or a high-precision big hit prefetch command. Then, the prefetch effect execution determination process shown in FIG. 13 is performed (step S78), and then the prefetch effect process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S77 is negative, it is determined whether or not the input prefetch command is a common big hit prefetch command (step S79). In step S79, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not hit random number information indicating that the acquired hit random number value matches the common jackpot determination value is stored in the hit random number area of the input prefetch command. judge. If the determination result of step S79 is negative, that is, if a highly probable prefetch command is input when the probability variation state is not given when the symbol variation game is executed, the effect control CPU 31a performs prefetch effect processing. finish. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S79 is affirmative, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is surely a big hit, so the prefetch effect execution determination process shown in FIG. 13 is performed (step S80), and then the prefetch effect process is performed. finish.

Hereinafter, the prefetch effect execution determination process performed in steps S76, S78, and S80 of the prefetch effect process shown in FIG. 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the reach effect is surely performed before the symbol variation game corresponding to the input prefetch command is executed (step S91). At this time, when the special game information indicating the first symbol variation game is stored in the game information area of the input prefetch command, the effect control CPU 31a displays the first information indicated by the hold number information stored in the hold number information area. It is determined whether or not all of the prefetch commands stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserve memory number before the one hold memory number are out of order and are normal prefetch commands. On the other hand, when special game information indicating the second symbol variation game is stored in the game information area of the input prefetch command, the effect control CPU 31a displays the second number indicated by the hold number information stored in the hold number information area. It is determined whether or not all the prefetch commands stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number prior to the reserved memory number are out of order and are normal prefetch commands. The “first reserved memory number before the first reserved memory number indicated by the hold number information” is, for example, when the first reserved memory number indicated by the hold number information is “3”. “1” and the first reserved storage number “2”. If the determination result of step S91 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect execution determination process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S91 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control indicates a value indicating that execution of the pre-reading effect is determined in the pre-reading execution flag indicating whether or not the execution of the pre-reading effect is already determined. It is determined whether (in this embodiment, “1”) is set (step S92). If the determination result in step S92 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect execution determination process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S92 is negative, that is, if execution of the prefetch effect has not been determined, the effect control CPU 31a acquires the value of the prefetch determination random number from the effect control RAM 31c (step S93). Then, the effect control RAM 31c determines whether or not the acquired value of the prefetch determination random number matches the prefetch determination value based on the input prefetch command (prefetch execution lottery) (step S94).

  In this embodiment, the number of prefetch determination values to be compared with the value of the prefetch determination random number in step S94 differs depending on the combination of the special symbol type and the effect level, and as shown in FIG. The winning probability of the pre-reading execution lottery differs depending on the combination of the production level. For this reason, in step S94, the CPU 31a for effect control has the kind of special symbol that can be specified from the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information area of the input prefetch command and the effect level information stored in the effect level area. The pre-reading execution lottery is performed with the winning probability corresponding to the combination with the production level that can be identified from. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, when the production level is the same, the winning probability of the pre-reading execution lottery is set higher in the case of the big hit than in the case of the loss. Further, in the present embodiment, when the production level is the same, the winning probability of the prefetch execution lottery is set higher in the winning game having the higher advantage than the winning game having the lower advantage. Further, in the present embodiment, when the types of special symbols are the same, the winning level of the pre-reading execution lottery is set higher for the effect level that shows a higher degree of advantageous expectation than the effect level that shows a lower advantageous expectation degree.

  If the determination result in step S94 is negative, that is, if the prefetch execution lottery is not won, the effect control CPU 31a ends the prefetch effect execution determination process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S94 is affirmative, that is, if the pre-reading execution lottery is won, the effect control CPU 31a determines the number of symbol variation games (the number of pre-reading effect executions) for executing the pre-reading effect as the effect control RAM 31c. And set (step S95). In step S95, the effect control CPU 31a stores, in the effect control RAM 31c, the number of reserved memories indicated by the hold number information stored in the hold number information area of the input prefetch command as the number of executions of the prefetch effect. Further, the effect control CPU 31a that stores the number of executions of the prefetch effect sets “1” in the prefetch execution flag (step S96).

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a which sets the prefetch execution flag to “1” determines the effect contents when executing the prefetch effect (step S97). In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute the pre-reading effect with one type of effect content among the four types of effect contents of “blue effect content”, “yellow effect content”, “green effect content”, and “red effect content”. It is configured to be possible. Note that the degree of advantageous expectation is set for each production content. Specifically, the level of the expected high degree of advantage is set in the order of “blue production content” <“yellow production content” <“green production content” <“red production content” (“red production content” is the most High degree of favorable expectation) In step S97, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the prefetch effect with a probability corresponding to the combination of the special symbol type and effect level, as shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, when the performance level is the same, the performance of the pre-reading performance is more easily determined in the case of the big hit than in the case of the loss so that the content of the performance set with a high expectation degree of interest is easily determined The content decision probability is set. Further, in the present embodiment, when the performance level is the same, a pre-play effect of a hit game with a higher advantage than a hit game with a lower advantage is more easily determined so that the effect content set with a higher advantage expectation is easily determined. The production content decision probability is set. Further, in the present embodiment, when the types of special symbols are the same, the production content that is set to have a higher advantageous expectation level is determined for the production level that shows a higher advantageous expectation level than the production level that shows a lower advantageous expectation degree. In order to facilitate the determination, the probability of determining the content of the pre-reading effect is set. Then, the effect control CPU 31a that has determined the effect content of the prefetch effect in step S97 stores the prefetch effect content information that can specify the determined effect content in the effect control RAM 31c, and ends the prefetch effect execution determination process.

  When the change pattern designation command is input and the prefetch execution flag is set to “1”, the effect control CPU 31a performs the effect so as to execute the prefetch effect of the effect content that can be specified from the prefetch effect content information. The display content of the display device 11 is controlled. For example, when “1” is set in the prefetch execution flag, the CPU 31a for effect control switches to a pre-read-only background image of the effect content that can be specified from the prefetch effect content information, and the character “during prefetch effect” is displayed. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to be displayed. Thus, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that causes the effect display device 11 as the effect execution means to execute the prefetch effect functions as the prefetch effect control means.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a subtracts 1 from the number of executions of the prefetch effect stored in the effect control RAM 31c when the prefetch execution flag is set to “1” at the end of the symbol variation game. When the number of executions of the pre-reading effect after subtraction becomes “0”, the effect control CPU 31a indicates that the execution of the pre-reading effect has not been determined in the pre-reading execution flag (in this embodiment, “0”). )).

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a has the special game information indicating the second symbol variation game when the variable state is not given and the prefetch execution flag is set to “1”. When a prefetch command stored in the game information area is input, a prefetch execution flag is set to “0”. At this time, the CPU 31a for effect control sets “0” as the number of executions of the prefetch effect, and stops the execution of the prefetch effect.

  In addition, when the big hit game or the small hit game is awarded, the effect control CPU 31a sets the prefetch execution flag to “0” when the prefetch execution flag is set to “1”. At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets “0” as the number of executions of the prefetch effect stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, when the jackpot game based on the symbol A, the symbol B or the symbol C is given, the CPU 31a for effect control in the present embodiment starts with the first symbol variation game after the end of the jackpot game in the ending effect in the jackpot game. A post-game pre-read execution determination process shown in FIG. 16 for determining whether or not to execute the pre-read effect is performed. In the present embodiment, the pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed for the pre-read commands stored in the storage areas corresponding to the second reserved storage numbers “1” to “4” of the effect control RAM 31c. It has become.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 31a for effect control is the target of the pre-reading effect in the second symbol variation game executed after the end of the jackpot game at the start of the ending effect in the jackpot game (symbol A, symbol B or symbol C). It is determined whether or not the execution of the symbol variation game is suspended. Then, when the execution of the second symbol variation game that is the target of the prefetch effect is suspended, the effect control CPU 31a can determine the execution of the prefetch effect. However, the CPU 31a for effect control does not determine the execution of the pre-reading effect when there is a possibility that the reach effect that is out of date is executed before the second symbol variation game that is the target of the pre-reading effect is executed. . Hereinafter, specific control will be described.

  When the pre-read command is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “1” at the start of the ending effect in the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a determines the post-game pre-read execution for the pre-read command. Process. When it is determined in this post-game pre-reading execution determination process that execution of the pre-reading effect after the end of the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory numbers “2” to “4”. The prefetch execution determination process is not performed for the prefetch command.

  On the other hand, in the post-game pre-read execution determination process performed for the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1”, execution of the pre-read effect after the big hit game is not decided. In this case, a pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed on the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2”. The prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “1” is a normal prefetch command, and the prefetch command is stored in the memory area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “2”. The pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed on the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2”. When it is determined in this post-game prefetch execution determination process that the prefetch effect is to be executed after the end of the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a is stored in the storage areas corresponding to the second reserved memory numbers “3” and “4”. The prefetch execution determination process is not performed for the prefetch command.

  On the other hand, in the post-game pre-read execution determination process performed for the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2”, execution of the pre-read effect after the big hit game has not been decided. In this case, the pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed on the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “3”. The pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” or “2” is a normal pre-read command, and the pre-read command is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second hold storage number “3”. On the condition that it is stored, a pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed on the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “3”. In the post-game pre-read execution determination process, when it is determined to execute the pre-read effect after the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a receives the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “4”. The prefetch execution determination process is not performed on the target.

  On the other hand, in the post-game pre-read execution determination process performed for the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “3”, execution of the pre-read effect after the big hit game has not been decided. In this case, a pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed on the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “4”. The prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “1” to “3” is a normal prefetch command, and the prefetch command is stored in the memory area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “4”. On the condition that it is stored, a pre-game pre-read execution determination process is performed for the pre-read command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “4”.

Hereinafter, the post-game prefetch execution determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control CPU 31a first determines whether or not a probability big hit (symbol A or symbol B) is being given (step S101). If the determination result in step S101 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control corresponds to the storage area in which the target read-ahead command is stored from the number of probability change grants (80 in this embodiment) set after the end of the big hit game. It is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the number of reserved storage to be performed is “0 (zero) or more” (step S102). The reserved storage number corresponding to the storage area in which the target prefetch command is stored is, for example, “2” when the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2” is targeted. " In step S102, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a certain change state is given when the symbol variation game corresponding to the target prefetch command is executed.

  If the determination result in step S102 is affirmative, that is, if the probability variation state is given when the symbol variation game corresponding to the target prefetch command is executed, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the target prefetch command is a big hit. It is determined whether it is a pre-read command (a pre-read command for common big hit or high-precision big hit) (step S103). That is, in step S103, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a big hit is obtained when the symbol variation game corresponding to the target prefetch command is executed. When the determination result in step S103 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the pre-game pre-read execution determination process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S103 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control determines execution of the prefetch effect and sets “1” in the prefetch execution flag (step S104). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 31a performs the same process as step S97 of the prefetch effect execution determination process shown in FIG. 13, determines the effect content of the prefetch effect (step S105), and ends the pre-game prefetch execution determination process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is negative, that is, if the 11R uncertain variation big hit (symbol C) is being given, the effect control CPU 31a performs the determination process in step S106. If the determination result in step S102 is negative, that is, if the probability variation state is not given when the symbol variation game corresponding to the target prefetch command is executed, the effect control CPU 31a performs the determination process in step S106. . In this embodiment, since the number of times of certain probability change is greater than the upper limit number (“4” in this embodiment) that can be stored as the second reserved storage number, the determination result in step S102 is negative. Absent.

  In the determination process of step S106, the CPU 31a for effect control determines whether the target prefetch command is a common big hit prefetch command. If the determination result in step S106 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the post-game prefetch execution determination process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S106 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control ends the post-game prefetching execution determination process after performing the processes after step S104 described above.

  Here, the determination of whether or not the pre-reading effect can be executed in the vicinity of the execution of the symbol variation game for the number of times of probability variation after the probability variation state is imparted (near the number of times of probability variation provision) will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 17A, it is assumed that a symbol variation game that is out of timing t11 is executed. It is assumed that this symbol variation game is the 80th symbol variation game after the probability variation jackpot (symbol A or symbol B) ends. In FIG. 17A, it is assumed that a normal prefetch command is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” at the timing t11. Further, it is assumed that the prefetch command with a high probability is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2” at the timing t12.

  That is, at the timing t12 in FIG. 17A, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” is the 81st time after the probability variation big hit ends. It is a symbol variation game (started from timing t13). Similarly, at the timing t12 of FIG. 17A, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2” is the 82nd time after the probability variation big hit ends. This is a symbol variation game (started from timing t14). That is, while the probability variation state is given at timing t12 in FIG. 17A, the probability variation state is imparted when the symbol variation game corresponding to the highly probable prefetch command stored at timing t12 is executed. There will be no. For this reason, since the symbol variation game corresponding to the highly probable prefetch command stored at timing t12 does not become a big hit, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command cannot be used as a trigger for executing the prefetch effect.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 17B, it is assumed that a symbol variation game that is out of timing t21 is executed. This symbol variation game is assumed to be the 77th symbol variation game after the probability variation jackpot (symbol A or symbol B) is completed. In FIG. 17B, it is assumed that a normal prefetch command is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “1” at the timing t21. Also, at timing t22, as in FIG. 17A, it is assumed that a prefetch command with a high probability is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2”.

  That is, at the timing t22 of FIG. 17B, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number “1” is the 78th game after the probability variation jackpot ends. It is a symbol variation game (started from timing t23). Similarly, at the timing t22 in FIG. 17B, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number “2” is the 79th time after the probability variation big hit ends. This is a symbol variation game (started from timing t24). That is, the probability variation state is given when the symbol variation game corresponding to the high-accuracy big-ahead prefetch command stored at the timing t22 in FIG. 17B is executed. For this reason, since the symbol variation game corresponding to the highly probable prefetch command stored at timing t22 is a big hit, the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command can be used as a trigger for executing the prefetch effect. Also, from the information stored in each area of the pre-read command, it is possible to specify how much advantageous expectation the symbol variation game is executed, and then what kind of jackpot game is given afterwards. It is also possible to perform a pre-reading effect with the content that was present.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Execution order in which the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is executed from the hold count information stored in the prefetch command hold count information area and the special game information (hold information) stored in the game information area Can be specified. The execution order is the number of times the first symbol variation game is executed when the first symbol variation game is continuously executed, or the number of times when the second symbol variation game is continuously executed. It shows whether it becomes the 2nd symbol fluctuation game performed. Also, from the hit random number information stored in the hit random number area of the prefetch command, the value of the hit random number used in the jackpot determination is a value that matches the common jackpot determination value or a value that matches the high-precision jackpot determination value. It can be specified. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is a symbol variation game equal to or less than the probability variation grant count (whether or not the probability variation state is imparted when the symbol variation game is actually executed). As a result, it is possible to accurately specify whether or not a big hit is made when the symbol variation game is actually executed. Therefore, even when the state of giving the probability variation state is switched (near the number of times the probability variation is imparted), it is possible to accurately and reliably perform the pre-reading effect for the big hit symbol variation game.

  In addition, by configuring the pre-reading effect to be executable in the vicinity of the probability variation giving frequency, if the pre-reading effect is executed immediately before the certain probability giving frequency, it is possible to improve the interest of the pre-reading effect being executed. Further, if the pre-reading effect is executed immediately after the probability variation grant count, the interest can be improved without lowering the expectation of the big hit for the symbol variation game executed after that. That is, since the pre-reading effect can be executed for the symbol variation game executed near the probability variation giving frequency, the interest can be improved as compared with the case where the pre-reading effect is not executed near the certain probability giving frequency. .

  (2) When the probability variation big hit (symbol A or symbol B) is given, whether or not the probability variation state is given when the second symbol variation game that has been suspended is actually executed Specifically, it is determined whether or not the pre-reading effect can be executed. For this reason, even if the granting of the probability variation state is completed by the time all the symbol variation games that are suspended during the jackpot game are executed (for example, when the probability variation grant count is 2), the jackpot From the first symbol variation game after the game is finished, a pre-reading effect can be accurately and reliably performed for a jackpot symbol variation game that is executed in the vicinity of the number of certainty change grants.

  Further, whether or not the pre-reading effect can be executed is determined even when the uncertain variation big hit (symbol C) is given. For this reason, even if it is a case where the provision mode of a probability change state changes by giving a big hit game, a prefetch effect can be performed correctly according to the change of the provision mode of the said probability change state. In addition, if the pre-reading effect is accurately performed, the pre-reading effect is performed immediately after the big hit game is finished. Therefore, the opportunity for the pre-reading effect to be executed can be increased, and the interest can be improved.

  (3) Even when a prefetch command that can execute a prefetch effect is input, the symbol that may be a big hit in the symbol variation game executed before the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command The pre-reading effect is not executed when there are fluctuating games. On the other hand, the prefetch effect is executed when the symbol variation game that is executed before the symbol variation game that can be controlled to execute the prefetch effect does not exist. When a big hit game is awarded, there is a possibility that the manner of giving the probability variation state changes. Therefore, the prefetching effect is provided when there is no possibility that the provisional state of the probability variation state that can be estimated from the situation when the execution of the prefetching effect can be controlled does not match the provisional state of the probability variation state when the symbol variation game is actually executed. Therefore, the pre-reading effect can be accurately executed.

  (4) When the variable state is not granted, the first symbol variation game is often executed continuously, but even when the variable state is not imparted, Execution may be suspended. The second symbol variation game is executed with priority over the first symbol variation game. For this reason, even if there is a possibility that the probability variation state is given when the first symbol variation game is executed when the execution of the first symbol variation game that is the target of the pre-reading effect is suspended, When the second symbol variation game is executed halfway, it is conceivable that the probability variation state is not given when actually executed. When the pre-reading effect is executed for the first symbol variation game when the variable state is not given, and the execution of the second symbol variation game is suspended, The execution was canceled. Thereby, the prefetching effect can be performed more accurately.

  (5) When the execution of the symbol variation game that is a big hit is suspended, the prefetch command storing the effect level information (game information of the effect level) that can specify the advantageous expectation degree of the effect contents of the symbol variation game is stored. I did it. For this reason, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect with the effect content that matches the effect level (advantageous expectation) that can be specified from the effect level information stored in the effect level area in the stored prefetch command. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the player by guessing the degree of advantageous expectation from the contents of the pre-reading effect. Further, the expected expectation is determined by the level random number and the type of jackpot game (special symbol). In other words, the determination of the advantageous expectation reflects at least the type of jackpot game, so by guessing the advantageous expectation level, you can also guess the type of jackpot game given after the end of the symbol variation game and entertain the game be able to. In this way, since the prefetch effect can be executed with the effect content that matches the advantageous expectation level of the effect content of the symbol variation game that is a big hit for which execution has been suspended, prefetch effects rich in variations can be performed.

  (6) Even if the effect level that can be determined is the same, the probability that the pre-reading effect is executed with the effect content set to be high in the degree of advantageous expectation is varied according to the type of jackpot game (advantageous disadvantage). Therefore, attention can be paid to whether or not the pre-reading effect is executed with the effect content set with a high degree of advantageous expectation, and when the pre-reading effect is executed with the effect content set with a high advantageous expectation level, the game It can be expected that a jackpot game advantageous to the player will be given. In this way, even if the determined performance level is the same, it is possible to perform a prefetch effect rich in variations by giving a change to the content of the prefetch effect in accordance with the type of jackpot game.

  (7) Depending on the type of jackpot game (advantageous / disadvantageous), the probability that an effect level showing a high advantageous expectation is determined is varied. Specifically, the performance level set with a high degree of advantageous expectation is determined with high probability when a jackpot game advantageous to the player is awarded. Therefore, when the pre-reading effect is performed with the effect content that matches the effect level with a high degree of advantageous expectation, it is possible to entertain the game with the expectation that an advantageous jackpot game will be given.

  Furthermore, the content of the pre-reading effect is determined according to the type and effect level of the big hit game. Therefore, compared to the case where the type of jackpot game is reflected only when determining the performance level, or the type of jackpot game is reflected only when determining the content of the prefetch effect, The types of jackpot games that can be expected from the content will be more accurate.

  (8) Even in the case of deviation, the content of the pre-reading effect is determined according to the determined effect level. For this reason, it is possible to perform the pre-reading effect with the effect content that matches the advantageous expectation level of the effect content of the symbol variation game that is out of place.

  (9) An effect level that can be determined is determined in advance for each type of jackpot game to be given. The production level is determined from the production levels that can be determined. For this reason, it is possible to determine an effect level that matches the value (advantage) of the jackpot game to be given. In addition, it is possible to prevent the production level having the highest identifiable advantage expectation from being determined even though the big hit game with the low advantage is given.

  (10) The winning probabilities of the pre-reading execution lottery are varied according to the performance level. Thereby, it can be made to expect that an advantageous expectation degree is high by performing prefetch production | presentation itself. For this reason, even if the content of the pre-reading effect is a content with a low advantageous expectation, the game can be enjoyed with a certain degree of advantageous expectation.

  (11) When the symbol variation game corresponding to the pre-read command is a big hit, the winning probability of the pre-read execution lottery is set higher than in the case of a loss. For this reason, when a pre-reading effect is executed, it can be expected to be a big hit, and the degree of attention regarding whether or not the pre-reading effect is executed can be improved.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, only the first symbol variation game may be executed. That is, the second symbol variation game need not be executed. In this case, the pre-game pre-read execution determination process may be performed on the pre-read commands stored in the storage areas corresponding to the first reserved storage numbers “1” to “4” of the effect control RAM 31c.

  In the above embodiment, the post-game prefetch execution determination process may not be performed. In this case, since the pre-reading effect is not executed for the symbol variation game that has been suspended before the end of the big hit game, it can be expected that the symbol variation game will be a big hit even if the pre-reading effect is not executed. .

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the frequency | count of probability change provision. For example, a number less than the upper limit (“4” in the above embodiment) of each reserved storage number may be set as the probability variation giving number. Further, the probability variation grant number may be infinite (until the next big hit game is given).

  In the above embodiment, when setting the probability variation grant count to a number equal to or greater than the upper limit (“4” in the above embodiment) of the second reserved memory number, the determination process in step S102 in the post-game prefetch execution determination process is not performed. May be. That is, when the probability variation state is given, since the probability variation state is always given at the time of the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command subject to the pre-game prefetch execution determination process, the control for specifying the probability variation state provision mode is performed. It does not have to be done.

  In the above embodiment, the pre-reading effect is configured to be executable when a common jackpot pre-reading command is input, while the pre-reading effect is configured to be unexecutable when a high-accuracy big hit pre-reading command is input. Also good. In this case, it is not necessary to specify the manner of giving the probability variation state when executing the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command with a high probability.

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the kind of effect content of prefetch effect. For example, there is a kind of effect content that can be determined only when the effect level “4” is determined, and an effect content that can be determined only when the effect level is “4” and the special symbol is symbol A. May be. In this way, by increasing the types of contents of effects that can be determined according to the effect level and special symbols, it is possible to perform look-ahead effects richer in variations. At the same time, it will be possible to entertain the game by expecting various things from the contents of the pre-reading production.

-In the said embodiment, it is not necessary to perform a lottery lottery. In this case, since a small hit game is not given, there is no need to provide a small hit game.
In the above embodiment, in the post-game pre-reading execution determination process, the pre-reading effect is always performed when the execution of the symbol variation game that is a big hit is put on hold. Whether or not to execute the pre-reading effect may be determined by lottery by lottery similar to the lottery.

  In the above embodiment, in the post-game prefetch execution determination process, the prefetch effect may be executed even when the prefetch command stored is a prefetch command of the outreach reach. That is, even if the pre-reading effect is performed immediately after the big hit game ends, the symbol variation game that triggered the execution of the pre-reading effect may be lost.

  In the embodiment described above, the winning probability of the prefetch execution lottery may be changed according to the number of reserved memories that can be specified from the hold number information stored in the hold number information area of the input prefetch command. For example, when the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is a big hit, the prefetch execution is performed when the specified number of reserved memories is larger (for example, “4”) than when the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is lost. You may make it the winning probability of a lottery increase. On the other hand, when the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is lost, the specified reserved memory number is smaller (for example, “1”) than when the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command is lost. The winning probability of the pre-read execution lottery may be increased. When configured in this manner, the game can be enjoyed with a high degree of advantageous expectation as the number of symbol variation games in which the prefetch effect is executed increases.

  -In the said embodiment, you may determine the relationship of the advantage and disadvantage of 11R shortening probability variation big hit and 11R non-probability big hit. It may be determined as a big hit game in which the 11R non-probable big hit is more advantageous than the 11R shortened probability big hit. Further, for example, the probability variation grant number may be infinite (until the next big hit game is given), and may be determined as a big hit game in which the 11R shortened probability variable big hit is more advantageous than the 11R non-probability big hit.

  In the above embodiment, the determination process in step S77 and the determination process in step S79 in the prefetch effect process may be interchanged. In other words, when a common jackpot prefetch command is input, it is not necessary to perform a process for specifying the manner of assigning a probability change state when executing the symbol variation game corresponding to the prefetch command. Thereby, the frequency | count of performing the process (calculation) for pinpointing the provision aspect of the probability variation state at the time of symbol variation game execution corresponding to a prefetch command can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the effect level may be determined based on the number of symbol variable games that are suspended when the symbol variable game is suspended and the level random number. Further, at this time, when the number of symbol variation games whose execution is previously suspended is large, an effect level indicating a high degree of advantageous expectation may be easily determined as compared with the case where the number is small. Thereby, in order to increase the number of reserved memories, it is possible to continue firing the game ball, and it is possible to improve the operating rate of the gaming machine. In this case, the main control CPU 30a determines an effect level when generating the prefetch command, and stores the effect levels determined together with various random numbers in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Also good.

In the above embodiment, the content of the pre-reading effect may be determined according to only the effect level without considering the type of jackpot game.
-In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that an advantageous expectation degree may be only a jackpot expectation degree. In this case, in the above embodiment, it is not necessary to determine the effect level and the variation pattern according to the type of jackpot game (type of jackpot symbol).

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that the expectation degree (probability change expectation degree) by which a probability change state is provided after completion | finish of the jackpot game provided is made into an advantageous expectation degree. In this case, the symbol A and the symbol B can have the same effect level determination probability, variation pattern determination probability, and the like, and reduce the amount of data stored in the main control ROM 30b and the effect control ROM 31b. Can do.

  -If pre-play effect execution is determined in the pre-game pre-read execution determination process in the above embodiment, the big win is included in the second symbol variation game that is suspended before the big hit game is finished, that is, during the big hit game. It may be configured to execute a notification effect that notifies that there is a symbol variation game. The notification effect is not limited to the effect display device 11, and a lamp or speaker may be provided and executed by the lamp or speaker.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the execution of the prefetch effect is determined in the post-game prefetch execution determination process, and when the execution of the prefetch effect is determined in the prefetch effect process (for example, the execution is performed) Apparatus etc.) and production contents (for example, colors and patterns) may be different.

  -The process of step S101 of the pre-game prefetch execution determination process in the above embodiment may be omitted, and the value used as the probability variation grant number in step S102 may be set according to the type of jackpot game being granted. For example, if the 11R non-probable big hit is being given, the effect control CPU 31a sets the probability change grant count in step S102 to “0”.

  -You may apply the invention in the said embodiment to the game machine which performs the fall lottery of whether the provision of a probability variation state is complete | finished for every symbol variation game after the provision of a probability variation state is started. In this case, when detecting the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening 19,21, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the falling lottery random number used for the falling lottery, and the main control CPU 30a acquires the falling Information (falling information) that can specify the value of the random number for lottery needs to be output to the effect control CPU 31a. Then, the effect control CPU 31a makes a preliminary determination as to whether or not the value of the random number for falling lottery that can be specified from the falling information is a value that wins the falling lottery and the grant of the probable change state ends, and the prefetch command that has been input It is specified whether or not a certain variation state is given when the symbol variation game corresponding to is executed. Thereby, even if it is a case where the provision aspect of a probability change state is changed by lottery, prefetching production can be performed correctly and reliably.
