Description

  It is about a pachinko game machine.

  The pachinko game machine that is most widely spread at present is called "special symbol" (or main game symbol) on the display unit such as 7-segment when the game ball enters the start opening (start chucker). Symbol is variably displayed, and when the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the special gaming state in which the player has a higher profit state than the normal gaming state {the special winning opening in the closed state at the normal time It is a model of a type (so-called "first-class pachinko gaming machine") that shifts to a game of contents opened by a predetermined condition (a so-called attacker). Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of the special symbol directly linked to the player's profit, it is called "decorative symbol" for effect to enhance the interest of the game separately from the "special symbol" described above. The symbol to be displayed is displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in synchronization with the variation of the special symbol. Then, when the variation of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also begins to change accordingly, and when the special symbol is stopped in a specific mode (for example, "7"), the decorative symbol is also according to this, a predetermined mode (for example, It will stop at "777". Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game is determined by the decorative symbol being stopped in a predetermined manner.

  Here, since the mechanism is common to this type of pachinko gaming machine, how to devise a high level of interest with regard to overall production including the variation pattern of the above-mentioned pattern, in order to differentiate from other types. It is focused on whether to grant. For example, in the situation where the variable display of "special symbol" can not be started, it has a function to hold the variable display with the game ball entering the starting opening as a trigger, and the game contents at the time of the reserve digestion are made in advance. The method (so-called reservation pre-reading effect) which improves the interest of the game by constituting informing or suggesting is one of them.

Form to carry out

  First, the meaning of each term in the present specification will be described. The term "entry" includes not only winnings where the winning balls are paid out, but also passing to "through chuckers" where there is no winning balls paid out. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as it can identify the type of information through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but preferably it is visual, eg, numbers, letters, symbols And the like. In addition, in the present specification, "identification information" may be referred to as a main gaming symbol / special symbol (special drawing) or a decorative symbol (graphic drawing), but "special symbol (special drawing)" is a main control board It is identification information whose display is controlled on the side, and "decorative symbol (dressing)" is identification information as an effect displayed on the side of the sub control board. “Identifiable information can be displayed” is not limited to any display method. For example, light emission of light emitting means (for example, liquid crystal, LED, 7 segments) (including not only the presence or absence of light but also the difference in color), physical Display (for example, stop display of a symbol drawn on a reel band at a predetermined position) and the like can be mentioned. "Effect" refers to display content that enhances the interest of a game, and includes, for example, identification information change, stop, notice, etc., moving images and pictures such as animations and live-actions, still images such as pictures, characters, etc. Combinations can be mentioned. The "opened state, open state" and "closed state, closed state" are, for example, open state = easy-to-win state and closed state = no prize in the configuration of a general large winning opening (so-called, attacker). It will be easy. Also, for example, a state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an advanced state) projected from the game board (the player side) and a state (hereinafter referred to as the retracted state) retracted into the game board (opposite to the player side) In a configuration (so-called Vero type attacker) capable of taking the above condition, the advancing state = the winning easy state, and the retreating state = the winning non-easiness state. The "random number" is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko gaming machine, and includes pseudo random numbers in addition to narrow random numbers (for example, hard as random numbers Random number, soft random number as pseudo random number). For example, the so-called "basic random number" affecting the outcome of the game, specifically, "winning random number (random number for winning lottery)" associated with the transition of the special game, the variation pattern (or variation time) of the identification symbol is determined "Variation mode decision random number" for doing, "symbol decision random number" which decides stop pattern, and "per hit symbol decision random number" which decides whether or not to shift to specific game (for example probability fluctuation game) after special game be able to. When determining the content of the variation mode or the content of the fixed identification information, it is not necessary to use all these random numbers, and at least one random number which is the same as or different from each other may be used. In addition, in this specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers, but once in the entrance (for example, starting entrance) which is a trigger for acquiring random numbers. The random number acquired by entering the ball is referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a bundle of random numbers such as a winning random number + a variation mode determination random number + a symbol determination random number ... is referred to as a single random number) . Also, for example, one type of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also be another type of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “gaming state” is, for example, a special gaming state in which the special winning opening can be opened, a transition to the special gaming state, a transition to the special gaming state from a non-probability fluctuation gaming state where the lottery probability is a predetermined value. Transition game state with high lottery probability, transition to special game Auxiliary game state with assistance for winning to start slot that becomes transition lottery to special game (so-called, normal symbol time reduction state, for example, variable members are attached to the start slot In the case, the open period of the variable member is long, the open winning probability of the variable member is high, the notification time of the result of the open lottery of the variable member is short, and so on.

  The following embodiment is a model in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed (type 1 first type compound machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is within the scope when applied to other gaming machines (eg, conventional pachinko gaming machines such as conventional type 1, type 2, type 3 and general electronic combination). . Note that the present embodiment is merely an example, and relates to the order of each step regarding various processes such as the location and function of each means, the on / off timing of the flag, and the means name etc. It is not limited to the following aspects. In addition, the embodiments and modifications described above should not be construed as limiting as applied to specific ones, and may be any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification of one embodiment is a modification of another embodiment, and even if one modification and another modification are independently described, It should be understood that a combination of the modification and the other modification is also described. Further, in the present embodiment, there are a lottery table and a reference table regarding various tables, but these are not limited, and the lottery table may be a reference table or vice versa. Furthermore, numerical values as specific examples shown in the following embodiments and modifications {e.g. winning probability at the time of lottery execution, maximum number of rounds at special game, symbol fluctuation time, number of continuations in each gaming state, etc.} This is merely an example, and in particular, different conditions (for example, the conditions of the first main game side and the second main game side, the conditions of the probability change game and the non-probability change game, time reduction game and the non-probability change game) It is understood that the size relationship and combination of the numerical values shown in the conditions for the time reduction game, etc. may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the following embodiments and modifications. Should. For example, on the first main game side and the second main game side, the winning probability at the time of lottery execution and the magnitude relationship in the expected value of the maximum round number at the special game time are: first main game side = second main game side Even if it is illustrated as such, the magnitude relationship may be appropriately changed such that the first main game side <the second main game side, or the first main game side> the second main game side. Good (other figures, same for conditions). Also, for example, when configuring as the number of continuations of the probability variation gaming state based on the purport of continuing until the next big hit occurs, does “65535” be set as the number of continuations (constructed so as to be substantially continued), Alternatively, even in the option of the realization method based on the same purpose of maintaining the probability fluctuation gaming state until the next big hit occurs without setting the number of continuations, it does not greatly deviate from the spirit of the following embodiments and modifications. It should be understood that it may be changed as appropriate.

Whether the reset button (RAM clear button) of the power supply unit E has been operated or not, that is, the manager of the game arcade intentionally performed an operation to clear the contents of the RAM. Determine if If Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the main control board M clears all the contents of the RAM on the side of the main control board M (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means MB). Next, in step 1006, the information transmission control means MT transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board M has been cleared to the sub main control unit SM side (even if it is transmitted at that timing) At this timing, a command may be set and may be configured to be transmitted in a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M in step 1008 (for example, it is stored in the checksum and RAM area recorded at the time of power interruption) Compare with the amount of information). Next, in step 1010, the main control board M determines whether the content of the RAM is not normal (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is correctly backed up in the RAM) based on the check result. If Yes in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to the process of step 1004 (the above-described RAM clear process). On the other hand, if the result of step 1010 is NO, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the main control board M is stored (backed up) in the RAM of the main control board M in step 1012.

  Here, the right in the figure is an example of a lottery table for determining an auxiliary game stop symbol. As shown in the same table, in this example, the stop symbols "D0, D1, D2" are present, and the stop symbols to be hit symbols are "D1, D2", which are caused by the respective stops. The release mode of the motorized jackpot that is to be released is, during the non-time reduction game, when the stopped symbol is "D1", the release mode is (0.2 seconds open → closed) and stopped When the symbol is "D2", the open mode is (open for 0.2 seconds → closed for 0.8 seconds → open for 5.0 seconds, closed) (longest open). In addition, in the time reduction game, when the stopped symbol is "D1", the opening mode is (1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → closed) and stopped When the design is "D2", the opening mode is configured to be (0.2 seconds open → 0.8 seconds closed → 4.0 seconds open → closed). In the non-time reduction game, the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol "D0", and in the time reduction game, the stop symbol is configured to be easy to hit and be a symbol "D1".

  Next, in step 1218, the auxiliary game variation mode determining means MN51-H is based on the auxiliary gaming side gaming state (flag state of the auxiliary game time short flag), the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-H auxiliary gaming symbol A predetermined time (for example, 1 second if the auxiliary game time short flag is on, and 10 seconds if the auxiliary game time short flag is off) relating to the fluctuation time of is set. Then, in step 1220, the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H turns on the auxiliary gaming symbol variation flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. Next, in step 1222, the auxiliary gaming symbol holding means MJ32-H updates the holding information recorded in the auxiliary gaming symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ32b-H after subtracting 1 from the holding ball relating to the auxiliary gaming symbol. At the same time, after the auxiliary gaming symbol control means MP11-H starts the auxiliary gaming symbol variation management timer MP11t-H, it starts the variation display of the auxiliary gaming symbol on the auxiliary gaming symbol display portion H21g.

In the case of 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → 1 second closed → 1 second open → open mode that becomes closed, in the case of hit symbol "D2", 0.2 second open, 0.8 The second closing mode and the opening mode for opening for 5 seconds are determined, and a predetermined time relating to the opening time (opening and closing time) of the electric role is set in the second main game start opening electric mode opening timer MP22t-B. Next, at step 1234, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B turns on the electric combination open flag in the flag area of the auxiliary gaming state temporary storage means MB10-H. . Then, at step 1236, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B opens the second main game start opening electric combination B11d. In this embodiment, when the main game time short flag is off and the auxiliary game stop symbol is a predetermined hit symbol (D2), the time during which the second main game start opening electric combination B11d is kept open is the longest. It is done.

  Next, in step 1242, the second main game start opening electric combination open / close control means MP20-B refers to the second main game start opening electric combination open timer MP22t-B to open the electric combination open time. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached.

Three random numbers of variation mode lottery random number to be acquired. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated from random number generation means having different update cycles and random number ranges, respectively, and are obtained sequentially at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the first main game symbol holding means MJ 32-A temporarily stores (holds) the acquired first main game content determination random number in the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32b-A. . Next, in step 1310, the hold control means MJ 30 determines the stored hold success / failure random number division information based on the hold information (random number for winning / falling lottery) (the main game table 1 of FIG. See). Next, in step 1312, the hold control means MJ 30 determines the stored hold symbol information based on the hold information (random number for symbol lottery) (refer to the main game table 2 of FIG. 11 for the symbol information). Next, in step 1314, the suspension control means MJ 30 determines the stored suspension variation mode random number delimiter information, the non-short time variation mode range, and the short time variation mode range based on the suspension information (random number for variation mode determination) For the variation mode random number division information, the non-short time variation mode range, and the time variation mode range, refer to the main game table 3 of FIG. 12).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the main game content determination random number (the first main game content determination random number or the second main game content determination random number) is acquired (or when the hold occurs) the fluctuation mode random number division information, non-short time fluctuation An aspect range and a time variation aspect range are configured to be determined.

  Next, in step 1316, the hold control means MJ 30 adds a new hold generation command (information indicating that the first main game is hold, information related to the number of hold, information on the pass / fail random number separator, symbol information, variation mode random number separator information, etc. Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub main control unit SM (sent to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of step 1930). In addition, when it is comprised so that symbol information may be transmitted to a sub side like this embodiment, the production which suggests a big hit may be performed as a production performed by a sub side, and when it is constituted like that, the said concerned concerned It is desirable to be able to notify the player of the stop symbol of the main game symbol that will be a big hit (informing the stop symbol only when the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit). In addition, in this example, the pending look-ahead effect ("hit announcement effect that suggests the possibility of becoming a big hit," hit symbol announcement effect that suggests a big hit pattern when becoming a big hit, "which suggests the contents of the effect to be performed In order to execute “pattern advance presentation effect” etc.), information such as pass / fail random number delimiter information (and symbol information in case of big hit, variation mode random number delimiter information) etc. is configured to be transmitted to the sub side Not limited to this, it is sufficient to transmit information necessary for the effect to be performed to the sub side, for example, in the case of executing a pre-retention effect that suggests the content of the special game in the case of a big hit , In addition to the success or failure random number division information, the division information divided by the number of rounds and the big winning opening opening pattern, the gaming state after the special game end (for example, indicates whether a big hit or non positive big hit It may be configured such that may send a multi-address) in the sub-side. By configuring as such, on the sub side, the information (the number of rounds of special game, the special winning opening open pattern, the special game end pattern, and the special game end received from the main side related to the stop symbol (especially the big hit symbol) of the main game symbol It is possible to determine the gaming state to be transferred, etc., and execute the prefetching effect relating to the stop symbol of the main game symbol (and the progression of the game executed based on the stop symbol).

  Next, in step 1322, the second main game start slot entrance ball determining means MJ11-B receives the second main game start slot entrance ball from the second main game start slot entrance detector B11s of the second main game start slot B10. It is determined whether the information has been received. In the case of Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-B refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-B, and the main game (especially the second main game Side) determines whether the holding ball for the side is not the upper limit (for example, 4 pieces). In the case of Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the second main game random number acquisition determination execution means MJ 21-B acquires a second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determination random number, three random numbers of a winning lottery random number, a symbol lottery random number, and a variation aspect lottery random number are acquired similarly to the first main game content determining means. By the way, the acquisition range of each random number of the first main game content determination random number and the acquisition range of each random number of the second main game content determination random number (for example, the lottery random number for the first main game and the lottery random number for the second main game Acquisition range of) is set to the same. Next, in step 1328, the second main game symbol holding means MJ 32-B temporarily stores (holds) the acquired second main game content determination random number in the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-B. .

  Next, in step 1330, the hold control means MJ 30 determines the stored hold success / failure random number division information based on the hold information (random number for winning / falling lottery) (the main gaming table 1 of FIG. See). Next, in step 1332, the suspension control means MJ 30 determines the stored symbol information of the suspension based on the suspension information (random number for symbol lottery) (refer to the main game table 2 of FIG. 11 for symbol information). Next, in step 1334, the suspension control means MJ 30 determines the stored suspension variation mode random number delimiter information, the non-short time variation mode range, and the short time variation mode range based on the suspension information (random number for variation mode determination) For the variation mode random number division information, the non-short time variation mode range, and the time variation mode range, refer to the main game table 3 of FIG. 12).

  Next, in step 1336, the hold control means MJ 30 adds a new hold generation command (information indicating that the second main game is hold, information concerning the number of holds, information on the number of wins / drops, random number break information, symbol information, variation mode random number break information Are set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub main control unit SM (sent to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of step 1930), and the next processing (step Move to process 1400). If NO in step 1302 or step 1304, the process proceeds to step 1322, and if NO in step 1322 or step 1324, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a main game symbol display process according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, at step 1401, the reserve / termination control means MJ 31 refers to the second main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32 b -B to check whether or not there is a second main game symbol hold. If Yes in step 1401, in step 1400 (1), the game content determination means MN executes a first main game symbol display process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1401, the game content determination means MN executes a second main game symbol display process described later in step 1400 (2), and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when there is a holding ball of the second main game symbol, regardless of the presence of the holding ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning sequence is the first main game symbol) The second main game symbol is configured to be prioritized and executed, but it is not limited to this. May be configured to execute a parallel lottery that randomly draws).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display process (second main game symbol display process) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this processing is substantially the same processing on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the processing on the second main game symbol side will be described. Write in parentheses. First, in step 1403, the reserve / termination control unit MJ 31 determines whether or not a change start condition is established. Here, the change start condition is not during special game (or during operation of the condition device), and is not during main game symbol fluctuation, and there is a condition that there is a hold of the main game symbol. In addition, although not illustrated in this example, when the fluctuation fixed time (time to stop and display the finalized display symbol after the final display of the main gaming symbol) is provided, the fluctuation start condition of the next fluctuation during the fluctuation fixed time May not be satisfied.

  In the case of Yes in step 1403, in step 1405 and step 1406, the holding and digesting control means MJ 31 sends the first main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b -A (the second main game symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-B) While reading out the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the present symbol variation temporarily stored, the first main game symbol hold information temporary storage means MJ 32b-A (second main game The symbol holding information temporary storage means MJ 32 b-B) is deleted, and the remaining information temporarily stored is shifted (holding and digesting process). Next, in step 1410-1, the lottery means MN10 refers to the first main gaming coin lottery table MN11ta-A (the second main gaming coin lottery MN11ta-B) corresponding to each gaming state. [1] Based on the main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (in particular, a winning lottery random number), a main gaming symbol acceptance lottery is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game use lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game use lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability variation gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot probability in the non-probability variation gaming state. The winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in the present embodiment, although a case in which the game state can not be shifted (so-called small hit) is not illustrated, a small hit may be generated (a small hit is won).

  Further, as shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, it is configured such that the success / failure random number division information is determined by the success / failure lottery random numbers. Both the 1st main game side and the 2nd main game side have three of the 1st main game side and the 2nd main game side of the 1st and 2nd main game side, the 1st and 2nd, the 2nd and 3rd, and the 2nd and 3rd, respectively. It is a hit / fail random number division information which becomes a big hit and also a big hit in the probability change gaming state, and a hit / fail section 2 is a hit random number break information which becomes a loss in the non-probability change gaming state and becomes a big hit in the probability change gaming state. In the non-probability fluctuation gaming state, the success / failure division 3 is the success / failure random number division information which becomes a loss in the non-probability fluctuation gaming state, and becomes a loss also in the probability fluctuation gaming state.

  Next, in step 1410-2, the first main game symbol determination means MN41-A (the second main game symbol determination means MN41-B) is the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (the second main game) With reference to the symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), it relates to the main game symbol based on the main gaming symbol equality lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially, symbol lottery random number) The stop symbols are determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

  Here, FIG. 11 (main game table 2) is an example of a first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B). As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, when a big hit is won, a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, "4A, 5A, 7A" and "4B, 5B, 7B") are selected. One main game symbol is configured to be determined as a big hit symbol. The number of special game rounds determined with reference to the main game symbol is 8R for 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, and 16R for 7A and 7B. The random number value and the type of stop symbol are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the lost symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols may be provided. When a specific symbol is stopped and displayed, the type and / or selection rate of the variation mode of the main gaming symbol is different from that before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed (with limited frequency) For example, it may be configured to shift to the state of determining the variation mode with reference to a table in which the type and / or the selection rate of the variation mode of the main gaming symbol is different as compared with the case where it is not the limited frequency state. In that case, the trigger to switch the variation mode decision table to refer to is a stop display of a predetermined symbol (big hit symbol, small hit symbol, specific lost symbol, etc.) or a predetermined number of fluctuation progress from stop display of a predetermined symbol, It may be as well.

  Next, in step 1410-3, the first main game variation mode determination means MN51-A (the second main game variation mode determination means MN51-B) is a lottery for determining the first main game variation mode corresponding to each gaming state. With reference to the table MN51ta-A (the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B), the main game symbol acceptance lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (the second main game content determination random number) (especially, variation The variation mode of the main gaming symbols is determined based on the random number selection mode), and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main gaming symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the process proceeds to step 1414.

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 3) is an example of a first main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). As shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, the variation mode (variation time) of the main gaming symbol is determined based on the main lottery result of the main gaming symbol and the main gaming time short flag state. In other words, if the main lottery game lottery result is a hit, it is easy to determine the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively long, and if the main game time short flag is on (time saving game state) relative It is configured that the variation mode in which the variation time is short is easily determined. Note that this example is just an example and is not limited at all to the type of the variation mode (variation time) or the selectivity. In addition, the symbol variation time of the first main game may be relatively long in the time shortening gaming state (when the main game short flag is on) {symbol variation on the second main game When it is configured to be advantageous for the player to be executed, it is easy for the second main game side to be suspended by lowering the symbol variation efficiency on the first main game side (as it is advantageous for the player) In order to construct a situation, it is particularly effective when the starting opening on the first main game side and the starting opening on the second main game side can not be separated. In addition, the fluctuation time may be configured to be relatively different depending on the number of reservations, in which case the first main gaming symbol fluctuation during the non-time shortening gaming state depends on the number of reservations on the first main gaming side. In the second main game symbol variation, the variation mode determination table is not switched according to the number of reservations on the second main game side (and the first main game side) while the variation mode determination table to be referenced is switched. It is also good. In addition, during the time reduction gaming state, in the second main gaming symbol variation, while switching the variation mode determination table to be referred to according to the number of reservations on the second main gaming side, in the first main gaming symbol variation, the first main game The variation mode determination table is not switched according to the number of reservations on the side (and the second main game side) (that is, the variation mode determination table may be switched according to the number of reservations pertaining to variations occurring mainly according to the gaming state) It may be configured.

  Further, as shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the variation mode random number division information is determined by the variation mode determination random number. The variation mode random number division information is provided on the respective tables of the first main game side, the first main game side, the second main game side and the second main game side. The first main game is hit, the first main game is lost, and the second main game is lost, each of which is divided into five variable segments from 1 to 5 When the second main game is hit, it is divided into three variable divisions of variable division 1 to variable division 3. In addition, the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time of the main gaming symbol is the shortest is configured to be determined to fluctuation break 1 and the fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time to the main gaming symbol is the longest is determined to fluctuation break 3 or 5 There is.

  In addition, the random number range of the fluctuation time and the fluctuation mode range can be different (for example, the range of the random number is different even in the same range 1) by turning on / off the main game time short flag, and the fluctuation mode random number By transmitting the break information to the sub side, it is configured that the sub side can derive both variation modes in the case of the time shortening gaming state and in the case of the non-time shortening gaming state. In addition, the fluctuation | variation aspect range is provided to the range 1-the range 3. FIG. In addition, by configuring in this way, when the gaming state transitions between the occurrence of the hold and the conclusion of the hold, the variation mode range scheduled at the occurrence of the hold and the variation mode executed at the conclusion of the hold The range may be different (for example, the variation mode range is scheduled to become range 1 because of non-time shortening gaming state at the time of occurrence of holding, but actually it is time shortening gaming state at the end of holding The variation mode range of can be range 2). In this example, the fluctuation time included in each range is the same fluctuation time (for example, in the case of a loss, regardless of whether or not the time-saving gaming state, the fluctuation time is 10 seconds or less in the range 1 Is included, but it is not limited to this, and the variation time that can be selected is completely different (for example, in the non-time shortening gaming state, the variation time of 10 to 120 seconds is selected, and in the time shortening gaming state , 1 to 5 seconds, and 10 seconds (when a variation time is selected), the variation range is not separated by an absolute variation time that does not depend on the gaming state, but relative to one game state The fluctuation mode range is divided by the fluctuation time (for example, in the non-time shortening gaming state, the fluctuation time is a fluctuation of 10 to 15 seconds, and in the time shortening gaming state, the fluctuation time is 1 to 1.5 seconds Um 1, the isolate) as may be configured. In addition, it is not limited to dividing the range according to fluctuation time, for example, range information divided based on the execution content of the effect (for example, one of the reach effects among a plurality of reach effects where the character A appears) It may be configured to be able to transmit to the sub side the range A) and the range information obtained by dividing the variation for executing any reach effect among the plurality of reach effects in which the character B appears as the range B.

  In addition, as an example in which the variation mode range scheduled to transition the gaming state and the variation mode range to be actually executed may be different as described above, (1) there are a plurality of reservations within the main game suspension In a situation where there is a suspension in the main game suspension is digested and becomes a big hit (or small hit), the gaming state transitions (for example, after the end of the special game pertaining to the small hit) after the special game related to the certain hold The transition from the non-probability fluctuation gaming state to the probability fluctuation gaming state) An example in which the variation mode range of the suspension within the main gaming suspension which is remaining at the time of the certain suspension can be different, (2) after the end of the special game The game state is transitioned (for example, after the end of the special game, it becomes the time-saving gaming state, and the main game symbol changes 50 times after the end of the special game). The time was Transition to a non-time-saving gaming state, etc.), and the special game is held after the end of the special game (or after the small hit end) before the predetermined number of changes in the main game pattern are over, An example in which the variation mode range may differ when the game is digested after the predetermined number of changes of the main game symbol have been completed since the end, (3) Every change of the main game symbol when the gaming state is the probability change gaming state The game is configured to execute a lottery to shift to a non-probability fluctuation gaming state (a so-called fall lottery), and trigger suspension occurs in the probability fluctuation gaming state, and the fluctuation mode is caused by winning the fall lottery before the trigger suspension is digested. Examples of which the scope may differ may be mentioned.

  In the present embodiment, the same variation mode range (for example, range 1 when the main game time short flag is on and range 1 when the main game time short flag is off) by turning on / off the main game time short flag And so on), the range of random numbers included in the same variation mode range may be different, and variation mode random number delimiter information (for example, the first main There are a plurality of variation delimiters 2 and the like at the time of hitting the game variation mode determination table. In addition, fluctuation mode random number division information which consists only of the range of the random number which is included in either case of main game time short flag inside the range of the random number which the same fluctuation mode range has (for example, 1st main) There is also a variation break 1 etc.) when the game variation mode determination table is hit. Note that the number of types of variation mode random number delimiter information in each table (for example, 5 of variation version 1 to 5) is the number of types of variation mode range (for example, 3 of range 1 to range 3) It is also configured to be more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the range 3 of the variation mode range can be selected as the variation mode range only when it is scheduled to become the variation time that is the longest time that can be selected (120 seconds in this example). It is configured. Therefore, when the range 3 in the variation mode range is selected, the expectation for the most big hit is high (the ratio of the big hit of the variation modes that can be selected is high). Moreover, in the present embodiment, the range 3 is configured to be more easily selected (when the range of the random number is wider) in the non-time shortening gaming state than in the time shortening gaming state {during the time shortening gaming state (especially In the time reduction / probability fluctuation gaming state), by configuring the fluctuation to be a short fluctuation time to be easily selected, the time required for the next big hit can be shortened and the stress of the game can be alleviated. In addition, in the time-saving gaming state, the second main game start opening electric role B11d is easy to be opened, it is easy to enter the second main game start opening B10, it is difficult to occur a situation where there is no hold} . In addition, it is not limited to this, and range 3 may be configured to be easily selected when in the time shortening gaming state than in the non-time shortening gaming state {during time shortening gaming (especially, time shortening / probability fluctuation gaming Since the game state) is a game state more advantageous to the player than in the non-time-saving game state, it is effective to use the effect with a high degree of expectation to get the player's sense of expectation}. Moreover, in this embodiment, although it was comprised so that it might be selected as a fluctuation mode range only when it will be the fluctuation time which is the longest time which can select Range 3 as a fluctuation mode range, it is not limited to this. It may be configured to be selected when it is scheduled to become the fluctuation time, and it may be selected only when the number of fluctuation mode ranges is increased or decreased and the fluctuation mode range other than the range 3 is the longest fluctuation time. There is no problem at all as a variation mode range.

  Also, in the present embodiment, the range of random numbers possessed by the fluctuation time and the fluctuation mode range can be different depending on the on / off of the main game time short flag, but the gaming state is the non-probability fluctuation gaming state The configuration is such that the variation time and / or the range of random numbers possessed by the variation mode range may differ depending on whether the game is in the probability variation gaming state or whether the table to be referenced is a normal variation mode determination table or a limited frequency table You may

  Next, at step 1414, the game content determination means MN temporarily changes the symbol variation display start instruction command (stop symbol information, attribute information of stop symbol) temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Set the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM the information related to the determined main gaming symbol such as fluctuation mode information etc. and the command related to the current gaming state (control command transmission in step 1930) The processing is sent to the sub main control unit SM side). Next, in step 1416, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C set the predetermined time relating to the change time of the main game symbol to the first and second main game symbol change management timer MP11t-C. Do. Next, in step 1417, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display portion A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). On the second main game symbol display portion B21g), the variable display of the main game symbol is started according to the change mode stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C. Next, in step 1418, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn on the fluctuating flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C, Control is passed to step 1420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1403, in step 1419, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C refers to the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C and changes. It is determined whether the medium flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1419, the process proceeds to step 1420, and in the case of No in step 1419, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, in step 1420, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C determine whether or not a predetermined time related to the change time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C are set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting the symbol change end command to the sub main control unit SM side. (Sent to the sub main control unit SM side by the control command transmission processing of step 1930). Next, in step 1423, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C is the first main game symbol display portion A21g (first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). The variation display of the main game symbol on the second main game symbol display section B21g) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C is displayed as the fixed stop symbol Control. Next, in step 1428, the first and second main game symbol control means MP11-C turn off the fluctuating flag in the flag area of the first and second main game state temporary storage means MB10-C. .

  Next, in step 1430, the game content determination means MN refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the main game symbol is a big hit symbol. Do. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1432, the game content determination means MN turns on the condition device activation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB 20b. On the other hand, if No in step 1430, step 1432 is skipped.

  Next, in step 1450, the specific game control means MP50 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1500). Also in the case of No at step 1420, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means MP 50 refers to the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB 30 b and determines whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means MP 50 refers to the value of the time reduction number counter MP 52 c and determines whether the counter value is larger than 0 or not. If Yes in step 1454, in step 1456, the specific game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the counter value of the time saving number counter MP52c. Next, in step 1458, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the value of the time reduction counter MP52c to determine whether the counter value (remaining time reduction) is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1458, in step 1460 and step 1462, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game time short flag and the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, Processing (processing of step 1500). Also in the case of No in step 1452, step 1454 and step 1458, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of special game operating condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit MP31 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b to determine whether the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1514, the special game control means MP30 is in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB30b, a specific game flag (main game probability change flag, main game time short flag, auxiliary game time short Turn off the flag). Next, at step 1518, the specific game control means MP50 clears the value of the time saving number counter MP52c. Next, at step 1520, the special game control means MP30 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1522, the special game control unit MP30 turns off the condition device activation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1600). Also in the case of No in step 1502, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of special game control processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and determines whether the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in step 1604 and step 1606, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game transition permission flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and the special game execution flag Turn on. Next, in step 1607, the special game execution means MP33 sets an initial value (1 in this example) to the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1608, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information (special game start display instruction command) to the effect of starting a special game to the sub main control unit ( In the control command transmission process of step 1930, the process is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side, and the process proceeds to step 1612.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1602, in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether the special game execution flag is on. Then, in the case of Yes in step 1610, the process proceeds to step 1612. In the case of No in step 1610, the special game execution means MP33 determines that the permission for the special game is not received, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, in step 1612, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, immediately before the start of each round. Determine if there is. In the case of Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the special game execution unit MP33 sets the open pattern set in the special game related information temporary storage unit MB20b (for example, keeps opening) Set the open pattern and open / close pattern). Next, in step 1616, the special game execution means MP33 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the special game execution means MP33 turns on the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1620, the special game execution means MP33 sets the first big winning opening electric combination C11d of the first large winning opening C10 (or the second large winning opening electric combination C21 d of the second large winning opening C20). Drive to open the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20), set a special time (for example, 30 seconds) to the special game timer MP34t (especially the opening time timer) and start it, step 1622 Migrate to On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1612, that is, when the special winning opening is open, the process proceeds to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the special game execution means MP33 transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of game balls to be won, etc.) pertaining to the current special game to the sub main control unit SM side. The command transmission buffer MT10 for the command is set (transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side in the control command transmission processing of step 1930). Next, in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) in the first large winning opening C10 (or the second large winning opening C20) in the round. It is determined whether or not there is a winning ball of). In the case of Yes at step 1624, the process goes to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1624, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game timer MP34t (in particular, the open time timer) in step 1626 for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to opening of the special winning opening. It is determined whether it has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process proceeds to step 1628. In the case of No at step 1626, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, in step 1628, the special game execution means MP33 is the first large winning opening electric combination C11d of the first large winning opening C10 (or the second large winning opening electric combination C21d of the second large winning opening C20) The driving is stopped and the first big winning opening C10 (or the second big winning opening C20) is closed. Next, in step 1630, the special game execution means MP33 resets the special game timer MP34t (in particular, the open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the round continuation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1633, the special game execution means MP33 adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1634, the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and whether or not the final round is over (for example, the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b It is determined whether the counter value (not shown) exceeds the maximum number of rounds). In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the special game execution means MP33 turns off the special game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1638, the special game execution means MP33 sets the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting information (special game end display instruction command) to the effect of ending the special game to the sub main control unit SM side. (The control command transmission process of step 1930 is transmitted to the sub main control unit SM side). Then, in step 1650, the specific game control means MP50 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game described later, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1910). Also in the case of No at step 1634, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination processing after the end of the special game, according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, at step 1652, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, and the stop symbol is a probability variation big hit symbol (in this example, 5A, 5B, 7A, 7B It is determined whether or not If Yes in step 1652, in step 1654, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and proceeds to step 1658. On the other hand, if No in step 1652, in step 1656, the specified game control means MP50 sets the counter value of the time reduction counter MP52c a predetermined number of times (50 times in this example), and shifts to step 1658. Next, in steps 1658 and 1660, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game time short flag and the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b, and performs the next process (step (Processing of 1910).

  Next, control processing executed on the sub main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 17 is a main flowchart of the sub control board S side (in particular, the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, (a) sub main control unit side main processing in the figure is processing on the side of the sub main control unit SM which is executed after resetting such as when the game machine is powered on. That is, at the time of power on (or at the time of reset) to the gaming machine, at step 2002, the sub main control unit SM interrupts after the execution of the interrupt processing is completed to return to the processing executed at the time of the interrupt processing. Allocate a stack area for storing the address of the process being executed at the time of process occurrence (determine the size and position), and return the stack pointer (from the interrupt process to the original process) to the top (initial position) of the stack area Set a pointer that indicates the storage location of the address to refer to.

  Here, the stack area is an area for storing data by the LIFO (Last In First Out: the data entered last is taken first), and by this configuration, a certain interrupt processing is performed. Even if another interrupt process occurs, the address of the process that was being executed at the time of the occurrence of the interrupt process that occurred last (and the return to the original process was not completed) (address of the process to be restored) Is always taken out. In the present embodiment, processing such as storing data in the stack area and updating the stack pointer is not shown.

  Next, in step 2004, the sub main control unit SM prohibits the occurrence of all interrupt processing (all interrupt processing is executed after completion of processing related to processing execution preparation in step 2006 to step 2010 described later). Because it is assumed that).

  Next, in step 2006, the sub main control unit SM executes hardware initialization and basic settings (register initialization, input / output port settings, etc.).

  Next, in step 2008, the sub main control unit SM initializes a RAM (a random access memory, which is a so-called temporary storage area that can be written and read). Next, at step 2010, the sub main control unit SM loads the program stored in the ROM into the RAM. In addition, it is added that the processing (program expansion processing from ROM to RAM) is intended to speed up the processing by expanding the program to the RAM whose processing speed is faster than that of the ROM.

  Next, in step 2012, the sub main control unit SM permits the generation of the (d) main command reception interrupt processing described later.

  Next, in step 2014, the sub main control unit SM executes a process of setting an effective error in the gaming machine. Here, in the development of gaming machines, all errors used in various gaming machines (for example, ordinary 1 type + 1 type gaming machines, 1 type + 2 types gaming machines, ball check type gaming machines, etc.) By developing a program that can execute control processing and sharing the program with various gaming machines, it becomes possible to reduce the development cost of the gaming machine. As described above, when using a program capable of executing all the error control processes, in the process, the error control process to be used in the game machine is validated (a process relating to an error not used is invalidated) It is necessary.

  Next, in step 2016, the sub main control unit SM turns off all the electric decoration lamps D26 (in order to turn off the lamps that are on due to the influence of noise etc., the lighting / light off of the electric decoration lamps D26 And execute the processing related to turning off).

  Next, in step 2018, the sub main control unit SM is a watchdog timer (not shown, but is a timer managed by the hardware, and increments the value every predetermined time regardless of the operation of the software). The timer is set to an initial value (for example, 0) and started, and the process proceeds to the sub main routine shown in FIG.

  Here, the watchdog timer includes a watchdog mechanism that detects a program runaway (for example, an infinite loop of processing or stop of processing) and forcibly resets the sub main control unit SM to recover from the runaway. Is a timer for The process related to the watchdog mechanism will be described in detail in the process described later.

  Next, in the same figure, after the processing of the (b) sub main side routine, after the sub main control unit SM sleeps (transition to the power saving mode) in step 2020, the processing is ended. Although the sub main routine in FIG. 11B is structured to loop a predetermined process internally, if the program is operating normally, the process and step of step 2020 are performed. Termination is not performed. However, if the address at which the process is executed has been replaced by the address at which the program of step 2020 is stored due to the influence of noise or the like, the sub main control unit SM is put to sleep to terminate the process. It is being done.

  Next, when the sub main routine of FIG. 6B is executed, first, in step 2022, the sub main control unit SM stores the program expanded in the RAM in the above-described process (the process of step 2010). The start address of the area being acquired is acquired (the acquired address is used to execute processing to check whether the program expanded in the RAM is expanded correctly).

  Next, in step 2024, the sub main control unit SM permits the generation of all interrupt processing (the details of the interrupt processing will be described later).

  Next, in step 2026, the sub main control unit SM executes an initial operation regarding a device such as a motor or a solenoid for driving a character or the like for effect, and thereafter, steps 2028 to 2030 (or step 2032). It will shift to the loop process which repeatedly performs the process of 2.). Although not particularly shown in this example, during execution of the initial operation, even if the device drive timing is reached, the initial operation is executed with priority.

  Next, in step 2028, the sub main control unit SM resets (zero clears) the value of the watchdog timer. As described above, since the reset process of the watchdog timer is configured to be performed in the loop process of step 2028 to step 2030 (or step 2032) in FIG. The value of the watchdog timer is reset each time it is repeated. On the other hand, loop processing is not executed normally, and the value of the watchdog timer can be set appropriately to a predetermined runaway detection value time (a time value at which it can be determined that an abnormality has occurred based on the time related to loop processing, interrupt processing, etc.) If the above condition is satisfied, a watchdog activation interrupt process described later is executed, and a reset process of the sub main control unit SM is executed.

  Next, in step 2100, the sub main control unit SM confirms inputs from various sensors (such as a fraud detection sensor and a button input sensor). In addition, when the signal from the sensor is continuously ON for a predetermined number of times, it is possible to remove an input error due to noise by determining that the sensor has detected an input.

  Next, in step 2200, the sub main control unit SM executes an error notification process based on the occurrence status of the error (the notification process may be appropriately performed according to the type of the error that has occurred).

  Next, in step 2300, the sub main control unit SM executes an effect to be performed based on an input from the sub input button SB (for example, an operation of the sub input button SB, such as a button continuous hit effect or a button long press effect). Display the effect according to

  Next, the processing of step 2400 to step 2800 is executed as the advance notice lottery management processing in the effect during the game. First, at step 2400, the sub main control unit SM executes pending information management / display content determination / display control processing described later. Next, in step 2600, the sub main control unit SM executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2700, the sub main control unit SM executes a decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2800, the sub main control unit SM executes special game related display control processing described later. In this example, in the decorative symbol display content determination process described later, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined based on the information related to the drawing variation from the main side, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Although not particularly illustrated in this example, the main process is performed in the loop process of step 2028 to step 2030 or step 2032 in the sub main routine of FIG. 7B (preferably immediately above the advance lottery management process). The stop symbol (in particular, the lost symbol) of the decorative symbol may be determined regardless of the information related to the drawing variation from the side. In such a configuration, for example, every time the loop processing is performed, the value of a counter that counts values from 0 to 999 is incremented, and the 3-digit value of the counter is The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined by making the position correspond to the middle symbol and the one's position to the right symbol (for example, when the counter value is 290, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is "2 9 · 0" Determined) Method {In this case, if the counter value is not suitable for lost design (for example, 777, etc.), update the counter value to a value suitable for lost design, such as incrementing the counter value again Processing is necessary}, and a table in which an appropriate lost symbol is associated with a symbol number, and updating the symbol number each time the loop processing is executed, the symbol is determined according to the pattern, etc. I will update It may be configured.

  If the notice lottery management process of step 2400 to step 2800 is executed, then, in step 3000, the sub main control unit SM executes operation control of the device (for example, determined in the above-mentioned notice lottery management process). In addition, the drive pattern of each device is set according to the execution timing of the effect using the device).

  Next, in step 3100, the sub main control unit SM analyzes the contents of the command received from the main side by (d) main command reception interrupt processing described later, and temporarily stores information related to the analyzed command. . In this example, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol, the variation pattern, and the content of the notice effect are determined in the above-mentioned advance notice lottery management process (the process of steps 2400 to 2800). For example, when the symbol variation start command from the main side is received, when the command is analyzed, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the sub side, the variation pattern, based on the stop symbol or variation pattern of the main gaming symbol (For example, the type of reach effect to be executed, etc.) may be determined (for example, the variation pattern of the main gaming symbol and the variation pattern of the decorative symbol are one to one, one to multiple, multiple to one, Multiple pairs may be associated with each other). Further, the content of the notice effect or the like may be determined by the command analysis process. In addition, depending on the contents of the effect determined in the advance lottery management process, it is necessary to change the determined symbol (for example, in the case of executing the effect of losing due to tempering with the “7” symbol, the left symbol And it is necessary to add that it is necessary to change the lost design whose right design is "7").

  Next, in step 2030, the sub main control unit SM refers to each temporary storage area corresponding to the information related to the command from the main side, and executes the main side command analysis processing of step 3100 in the execution of the loop processing this time. It is determined whether a new command analysis has been executed. In the case of Yes in step 2030, in step 2032, the sub main control unit SM updates the random number used in each process (for example, updates the random number with the hard random number 1 latched in the process to be described later as a seed), Migrate to 2028. Also in the case of No at step 2030, the process proceeds to step 2028.

  As described above, when executing the sub main routine of FIG. 7B, after executing the processing of step 2022 to step 2026, a series of processing routine of step 2028 to step 3100 or step 2032 is repeatedly executed. .

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of an interrupt process of the sub control board S side (in particular, the sub main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.

  First, the main command reception interrupt process shown in FIG. That is, when the signal (STB signal) from the STB signal line connected to the main side (main control board M side) and the sub side (sub main control unit SM side) is turned on, in step 2036 The main control unit SM determines whether or not the command input value from the main side has been determined. When the STB signal is turned on, the sub main control unit SM inputs (parallel signal) from a parallel signal line (which is a generic name for a plurality of signal lines) which is a signal line for command input from the main side. Read the on / off of each of the multiple signal lines that make up the line. Here, in order to prevent an error in the command input value due to noise etc., the same value is continuously given a predetermined number of times (for example, 2 to 5 times) Is configured to determine a command input value when it is read.

  If Yes in step 2036, in step 2038, the sub main control unit SM determines whether the received command is a first command. Here, the command transmitted from the main side is composed of a first command and a second command, each of which is 8-bit information. For example, the first command has a leading bit "0", and the second command The command is configured such that the first bit is “1”, and the sub main control unit SM checks the first bit of the received command to determine whether the received command is the first command or the second command. It can be determined if there is any. The command transmission method and the number of bits, etc., are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the command is transmitted by a serial communication method (a method of transmitting information in order from the first bit to one communication line) It may be configured to be able to transmit.

  If Yes in step 2038, in step 2040, the sub main control unit SM saves the received first command in a temporary (temporary storage area for temporarily storing the first command in a second command reception waiting state). . If the first command is already saved, in other words, if the first command is received following the first command, the first command already saved is discarded and newly received. Save the first command.

  Next, in step 2042, the sub main control unit SM latches a hard random number (a random number which is managed by the hardware and repeats incrementing to obtain the value of the counter returning to the initial value as the random value when it reaches the maximum value) 1 (Acquire) and return to the process before the main interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process) occurs.

  Here, the hard random number 1 latched by the processing is mainly a seed for updating the random number (in particular, soft random number generated by software, for example, MT random number) in the above-described random number update processing. Used as input information to derive the initial value of the random number. Note that the hard random number is a periodic random number determined by the timing of latching the counter value (random number value) by incrementing the value of the counter, but the process of latching the counter value is a main command interrupt process (It is a process where the regularity of the generation timing is low because the command is transmitted based on entering the ball into the ball entrance etc.) By doing so, the hardware random number 1 to be latched becomes a periodic random value It is preventing it from Furthermore, by using the hard random number 1 directly as a seed for updating the soft random number instead of directly for the lottery, a random number having higher randomness is generated (and used for the lottery). It is In the present example, hard random numbers are not used directly for lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, hard random numbers may be used directly for lottery.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2038, in other words, if the second command from the main side is received, in step 2044, the sub main control unit SM temporarily stores the first command waiting for reception of the second command. To determine whether the first command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2044, in step 2046, the sub main control unit SM saves the received command (a saved command is analyzed in main command analysis processing described later). A new command recording position in the SM 11bf) is acquired. Next, in step 2048, the sub main control unit SM saves (records) the first command temporarily stored and the received second command in the command buffer SM11bf. Next, in step 2050, the sub main control unit SM updates the command write pointer of the command buffer SM11bf (for example, increments and updates the value). Next, in step 2052, the sub main control unit SM clears (deletes) the first command stored temporarily, and returns to the processing before the main interrupt processing (main command reception interrupt processing) occurs. The command saved in the command buffer SM11bf is analyzed by the above-mentioned main command analysis process.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2036 (if the command input value is not determined), the process returns to the process before the main interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process) occurs. On the other hand, if No in step 2044 (if the second command is received while the first command is not temporarily stored), the process returns to the process before the main interrupt process (main command reception interrupt process) occurs ( The received second command will be discarded).

  Next, the TGI 1A timer interrupt process of FIG. First, the interrupt process is a timer interrupt process that occurs every predetermined time (for example, 1 ms). That is, when the interrupt process occurs, in step 2054, the sub main control unit SM prohibits the interrupt process of priority 1 during the interrupt process (TGI1A timer interrupt process).

  Here, as shown in the interrupt processing priority table in the lower part of the figure, in the present example, other interrupt processing not shown in the drawing is the priority 1 interrupt processing. In addition, power start interrupt processing (detailed processing is not shown, interrupt processing executed when power is supplied to sub main control unit SM), various abnormality interrupt processing {detailed processing is not shown However, if the CPU tries to execute an illegal (non-existent) instruction, or if the CPU tries to access an illegal area or tries to access the area in an incorrect manner (for example, in a program area) If you try to load the program to the address that is not, etc.) interrupt processing to be executed} and watchdog timer activation interrupt processing (processing to recover from runaway), take precedence over the processing related to the progress of the game Since this is a process to be executed, it is set to high priority interrupt processing. When another interrupt process having a higher priority than the interrupt process being executed occurs while another interrupt process is being executed, another interrupt process having a high priority is executed. In addition, when another interrupt process whose priority is lower than that of the interrupt process being executed occurs while another interrupt process is being executed, the other interrupt process whose priority is lower is the end of the interrupt process being executed. It will be executed later.

  Next, at step 2055, the sub main control unit SM executes port input / output processing. In the port input / output process, an input process of monitoring an input to the input port of the sub main control unit SM and an output process of an output port of the sub main control unit SM are executed. First, in the input process, ON / OFF of the signal from the fraud detection sensor such as the magnetic sensor or the vibration sensor connected to the sub main control unit SM and the sub input button is monitored (the process of 2100 described above) The presence or absence of detection of the sensor is determined based on whether the signal monitored in the input processing has been continuously turned on and off a predetermined number of times). Next, in the output process, the command set in the output port of the sub main control unit SM is output to each output destination (for example, the device drive command is output to the device side).

  Next, in step 3200, the sub main control unit SM updates a device drive command to be output to the device side based on the device drive pattern and the value of the device control timer SM 28t. Next, at step 2056, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the device control timer SM 28t. Next, at step 2058, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the effect timer SM 21t. Next, at step 2060, the sub main control unit SM updates (decrements) the value of the button control timer SM 24t. As described above, although the update of the set timer value can be performed in the interrupt process executed every predetermined time (1 ms in this example), the timer temporary stop control is performed. In this case, it is added that it is possible to not update the timer value.

  Next, in step 3300, the sub main control unit SM updates the value of the task management counter SM60c. Here, the task management counter SM60c is a counter for storing the values of 1 to 16, and the value is incremented by the update processing, and when the counter value becomes 16, the counter value returns to 1 in the next increment processing. It is configured as follows. By executing such processing, processing to be executed every 8 ms or every 16 ms can be set using this interrupt processing (TGI 1A timer interrupt processing) generated every 1 ms.

  Next, in step 3302, the sub main control unit SM monitors the image CPU runaway based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when performing the processing every 8 ms, when the counter value is 1 or 9). Execute the process Although not particularly illustrated in this example, in the image CPU runaway monitoring process, a toggle signal from the sub-sub control unit SS (in the present example, when the sub-sub control unit SS operates normally, the image is switched 1 Monitor the signal sent to the sub main side by switching ON / OFF every 16 ms which is a unit of frame, and if the toggle signal does not switch for a predetermined time (for example, 1600 ms) or more, the sub sub control unit SS Determines that the sub-sub control unit SS is reset (for example, transmits a forced reset signal), and the command transmission to the sub-sub control unit SS can be paused temporarily. As described above, by executing the process every 8 ms shorter than 16 ms (a unit of one frame for switching an image) at which the toggle signal switches, switching of the toggle signal can be reliably detected.

  Next, in step 3304, the sub main control unit SM executes lamp lighting management processing based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, when it is desired to execute the processing every 16 ms, when the counter value is 2). And manage the progress of lighting / extinguishing of the electric decoration lamp D26 based on the presentation execution schedule (the switching between lighting and Therefore, processing is performed using the task management counter in this way).

  Next, in step 3306, the sub main control unit SM performs an error notification time management process based on the value of the task management counter SM60c (for example, in the case where the process is to be performed every Run. Here, in a process that does not require accuracy, such as management of an error notification time, and needs to be clocked for a long time, in particular, it is not necessary to update the timer value every 1 ms, and every 1 ms. If the timer is updated, the data capacity related to the value of the timer becomes large. Therefore, the data capacity related to the value of the timer can be reduced by updating the timer value in a long cycle (in this example, 16 ms cycle) It is

  Next, in step 2061, the sub main control unit SM permits generation of all interrupt processing (cancels the prohibition of the priority 1 interrupt processing prohibited in step 2054), and performs the main interrupt processing (TGI 1A timer interrupt). Process) Return to the process before occurrence.

  Next, the TPU 0 timer interrupt process of FIG. First, the interrupt process is a timer interrupt process that occurs every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 ms). That is, when the interrupt processing occurs, in step 2066, the sub main control unit SM refers to the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2 and instructs the sub sub side (sub sub control unit SS side) that has been set. It is determined whether or not exists. If Yes in step 2066, in step 2068, the sub main control unit SM sets an instruction command for the sub sub control unit SS set in the transmission command temporary storage means SM 40 b-2 in the transmission buffer SM 40 b f (in particular Although not shown, at this timing, the instruction command in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2 set in the transmission buffer SM40bf may be erased, and before this interrupt processing (TPU0 timer interrupt processing) occurs. Return to the process of On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2066, the process returns to the process before the present interrupt process (TPU 0 timer interrupt process) occurs. Although not particularly shown in this example, if it is determined in the image CPU runaway monitoring process of step 3302 that the sub-sub control unit SS is not operating normally, command transmission to the sub-sub-control unit SS is temporarily performed. It is configured to be able to pause.

  Next, interrupt processing at the time of command transmission to the sub-sub in FIG. First, the interrupt process is an interrupt process that occurs when an instruction command is set in the transmission buffer SM 40 b f. That is, when an instruction command for the sub-sub control unit SS is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf in step 2068, the sub main control unit SM is set in the transmission buffer SM40bf for the sub-sub control unit SS in step 2070. Read the instruction command. Next, in step 2072, the sub main control unit SM transmits the read instruction command to the sub sub control unit SS.

  Next, in step 2074, the sub main control unit SM refers to the sub sub side information temporary storage unit SM 40b, and reads a command received from the sub sub control unit SS. Next, in step 2076, the sub main control unit SM sends a command from the side of the read sub sub control unit SS (that the sub sub control unit SS has successfully received the command transmitted from the sub main control unit SM). Parse the return command shown). Next, at step 2078, the sub main control unit SM saves (stores) the analyzed command in the sub sub side information temporary storage means SM 40b, and processing before the main interrupt processing (interrupt processing for command transmission to sub sub) occurs Return to

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of hold information management / display content determination / display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, at step 2402, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a hold generation command is newly received from the main control board M side. If Yes in step 2402, in step 2406, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 is a drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b (in this example, a maximum of four for the first main game, A maximum of four for the second main game is added "1". Next, in step 2408, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 stores hold information (in particular, random number division information, symbol information, variation mode division information, etc.) related to the hold generation command, drawing hold information temporary storage Temporarily stored in means SM22b.

  Next, in step 2450, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a pre-selection lottery for winning, which will be described later. Next, in step 2410, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 determines whether or not the new hold is information indicating that the new hold is a trigger hold (whether the new hold is the winning pre-selection lottery in step 2450). To determine if the trigger is on hold). In the case of Yes in step 2410, in step 2550, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes pre-reading effect content determination processing described later, and proceeds to step 2426. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2410, the process shifts to step 2426.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2402, in step 2412, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and newly receives a symbol change start command from the main control board M side It is determined whether or not. If Yes in step 2412, in step 2416, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 subtracts “1” from the drawing hold counter in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b. Next, in step 2418, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 displays symbol variation information (variation mode information, stop symbol information, gaming state information, etc.) related to the symbol variation start command in the drawing display related information temporary storage means Information temporarily stored in the SM 21 b and stored in the processing of step 3120, the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM 22 b (especially, the random number delimiter information, the symbol information, the variation mode delimiter information) corresponding to the fluctuation Remove from) and shift the remaining pending information.

  Next, in step 2500, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes a change start look-ahead determination process described later. Next, in step 2420, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the change start look ahead read winning flag is on. If Yes in step 2420, in step 2422, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns off the change start look-ahead winning selection flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21 b. Next, in step 2550, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes pre-reading effect contents determination processing, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2424. On the other hand, if the result of step 2420 is No, the process proceeds to step 2424.

  Next, in step 2424, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns on the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21 b, and proceeds to step 2426. Also in the case of No at step 2412, the process proceeds to step 2426.

  Next, in step 2426, the drawing hold information display control means SM22 makes full use of the effect display means SS on the effect display device SG (in particular, on the first hold display portion SG12, the second hold display portion SG13). The suspension display lamps of the same number as the drawing suspension counter value in the diagram suspension information temporary storage means SM22b are lit and displayed, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2600).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the winning pre-reading determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. First, at step 2451, the prize holding pre-reading effect determination means SM 26 k 1 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM 11 b and determines whether or not the current game state is the time-saving game state. In the case of Yes in step 2451, in step 2452, the at-a-play reserve presentation effect judging means SM26k1 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b and determines whether the new hold is a hold on the second main game side or not Determine If Yes in step 2452, the process moves to step 2454. Also in the case of No at step 2451, the processing shifts to step 2454. If NO in step 2452, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 2410).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, only the hold related to the second main game side can be the trigger hold related to the prefetch effect when the time saving gaming state is set, but this is merely an example, Is not limited, it may be possible to be a trigger hold also pending on the first main game side generated during the time saving gaming state, during the non-time shortening game, the first main game side pending ( Alternatively, only the second main game player's hold) may be configured to be able to hold the trigger in the pre-reading effect.

  Next, at step 2454, the prize pre-fetching presentation effect judging means SM26k1 refers to the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information relating to whether or not each pending is a trigger pending. Here, the trigger hold is a hold on which a winning pre-selection lottery or a variable start pre-selection lottery is won, and is a hold serving as a trigger for a pre-reading effect described later.

  Next, at step 2455, the at-a-play reserve presentation effect determining means SM26k1 determines whether or not there is a trigger on hold in the main game on hold based on the read information. In the case of Yes in step 2455, in step 2456, the prize-holding pre-reading effect determining means SM 26k1 determines whether or not the change is a change relating to trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 2456, in step 2458, the prize-holding advance reading effect judging means SM26k1 executes a prize-drawing read lottery at a winning with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/20). Note that the predetermined probability does not have to be 1/20, and changing the predetermined probability makes it possible to adjust the degree of expectation of becoming a big hit by the fluctuation serving as the trigger for performing the pre-reading effect.

  Next, at step 2460, the at-a-preservation reserve look-ahead effect determining means SM26k1 determines whether or not the new on-hold has won the at-a-pear-in-a-bump lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2460, in step 2462, the prize preserving effect read pre-order determining means SM26k1 is in the drawing withholding information temporary storage means SM22b, the information to the effect that "trigger is withholding" in the withholding information according to the withholding. The data is added and temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2410). Also in the case of No in step 2455, step 2456 or step 2460, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2410). The information to the effect that "trigger hold" is added to the hold information is deleted along with the deletion of the hold information at the time of the trigger hold.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of pre-reading effect contents determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. First, at step 2552, the prefetch presentation effect content determination means SM26n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether the trigger hold on / off random number division information is the success / failure division 1 or not. In the case of Yes in step 2552, in step 2554, the preread effect contents determination unit SM26n determines the display mode of trigger suspension as rainbow color (display mode for notifying the player that a big hit is definite). , And move on to step 2562. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the trigger hold success / failure random number division information is the success / failure division 1, that is, regardless of whether the gaming state is the probability variation gaming state or the non-probability variation gaming state When it becomes, it is comprised so that the pending change presentation which changes the display mode of a trigger suspension to rainbow color as a specific pre-reading presentation may be performed. In the present embodiment, the specific prefetching effect is executed on condition that the pass / fail random number delimiter information is the pass / fail delimiter 1, but the execution condition of the specific prefetching effect is limited to this. Alternatively, a plurality of conditions may be combined, such as being configured to be executed on the condition that the pass / fail random number delimiter information is the pass / fail delimiter 1 and the variation mode random number delimiter information is the variable delimiter 5.

  On the other hand, if the result of step 2552 is No, in other words, if the trigger delimitation random number delimitation information is the deferment delimiter 2 or 3, in step 2556, the prefetch effect contents determination means SM26n stores the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22b. Referring to it, it is determined whether or not the variation mode delimiter information of the trigger hold is the variation delimiter 1 or 2. If Yes in step 2556, in step 2558, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM 26 n determines the display mode of trigger suspension with reference to the suspension display mode determination table A, and proceeds to step 2562. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2556, in other words, in the case where the variation mode delimitation information of the trigger hold is the variation break 3 or 4 or 5, in step 2560, the prefetch presentation effect content determination means SM26n displays the display mode of the trigger hold, It determines with reference to pending display mode determination table B, and proceeds to step 2562.

  Here, the two tables at the bottom of the figure are the pending display mode decision table A and the pending display mode decision table B. In the present embodiment, the types of display modes that can be selected when referring to the hold display mode determination table A or the hold display mode determination table B to determine the display mode of trigger hold that may change at the time of hold change effect execution are It is red, green, and three, and it is drawn by random numbers for exclusive use at the time of pending display mode decision. It should be noted that when referring to the hold display mode determination table A, blue is most easily selected, while when referring to the hold display mode decision table B, red and green are most easily selected, and hold change effect occurs The big hit expectation for each display mode of the hold is in the order of red, green and blue from the one with high expectation. In addition, the display mode which can be changed is an example to the last, and even if it increases and decreases a kind, even if it changes the color which can change, there is no problem at all. Moreover, in this example, although it was comprised so that the degree of expectation which will be a big hit could be suggested by the display color of pending | holding, it is not limited to this, For example, ) May be configured to indicate the game state after the special game is performed. When configured as such, in particular, during the probability variation gaming state, by the display color of the suspension, suggesting the degree of expectation to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the special game is executed in the case of a big hit in the suspension (For example, if the reserve display color is red, the probability change expectation degree is high, if it is blue, the probability change expectation degree is low, etc.), the probability fluctuation game state advantageous to the player continues or ends It is possible to carry out an effective rendition.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, at the time of execution of the hold change effect, the big hit expectation degree may be different depending on the display mode selected from the display modes of a plurality of types of hold, but the background change effect is also the same There may be a plurality of types of background that can be changed, and the jackpot expectation may be different depending on the type of background selected at the time of presentation execution. Furthermore, a plurality of hold change effects and / or background change effects may be executed during execution of the pre-reading effect (from the timing when the pre-reading lottery is won to the end of fluctuation of the main game symbol related to trigger hold) . When configured in this manner, for example, when the hold change effect is executed twice during the execution of the pre-read effect, if the display mode of the hold that changes in the first hold change effect is blue, the second time Make the display mode of the change of the hold change effect into green or red, that is, change (rank up) to the display mode of the high hit expectation of the big hit every time the hold change effect is executed It is desirable to configure it so as to keep the player's expectation. Similarly, even when background change presentation is performed a plurality of times while pre-reading effect is being executed, it is configured to change (rank up) to a background with high jackpot expectation each time background change presentation is performed. Is desirable (it may be configured such that so-called rank down may occur to change to a rendering with low expectation). In this case, the stage of rank increase in the hold change effect may be different from the stage of rank increase in the background change effect {e.g., the display mode of hold is increased by 2 stages, and the display mode of the background is 1 stage It may be ranked up (even in a certain variation, even in a series of prefetching effects relating to a certain trigger hold). Note that with regard to the execution timing of the on-hold change presentation and the background change presentation, the change for executing the on-hold change presentation and the change for performing the background change presentation may be the same change or may be different from each other. Also, only one change effect (hold change effect or background change effect) may be executed before the change related to trigger hold.

  Next, at step 2562, the prefetch presentation effect content determination means SM26n refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and determines whether or not the variation state break information of the trigger hold is the change break 5.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the background change rendition is performed when the fluctuation aspect range is the range 3 (the fluctuation aspect range which is the fluctuation time for a long time). Fluctuation mode random number division information of trigger suspension which becomes the loss which occurred to the main game side is fluctuation partition 4, it is non-time shortening game state when occurrence of trigger suspension, it is time shortening game state when it extinguishes trigger suspension In this case, the variation mode range is the range 3 when the trigger hold occurs, but since the variation mode range is the range 2 when the trigger hold is digested, the background change effect is executed in the situation of the variation mode range 2 It becomes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background change effect is executed only in the case of the variation segment 5 which is the variation aspect random number segment information in which the variation aspect range becomes the range 3 in both cases of trigger holding occurrence and digestion. Are configured to As described above, the pending change presentation is configured to be executable regardless of the variation mode random number division information.

  If the result of step 2562 is “Yes”, the pre-reading effect contents determination unit SM26 n turns on the background change effect execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage unit SM23 b in step 2564 and performs the next process (step 2426 or Control is passed to step 2424). Also in the case of No in step 2562, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2426 or step 2424).

  In the present embodiment, the hold change effect is executable regardless of the trigger mode change mode random number delimiter information, while the background change effect is the trigger mode change trigger mode variation random number section information It is configured to be executable only in the case of the division 5.

  In the present embodiment, when the pre-reading lottery is won, and the variation mode random number division information of the trigger suspension is the variation segment 5, the suspension change presentation and the background change presentation occur simultaneously as the pre-reading effect, the trigger suspension When the fluctuation mode random number division information of is the fluctuation divisions 1 to 4 (if it is not the fluctuation division 5), only the pending change presentation is executed as the pre-reading presentation. In addition, the execution mode of pre-reading effect is not limited to this, it may be constituted so that only background change effect can be performed as pre-reading effect.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the fluctuation start look-ahead determination process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, at step 2502, the change start suspension pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the change start time pre-reading prohibition flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in step 2504, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation is a fluctuation relating to trigger suspension at the time of suspension start prefetch presentation effect judging means SM26k2. In the case of Yes in step 2504, the process moves to step 2508. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2504, in step 2524, the change start reservation read ahead effect judging means SM26k2 turns on the change start read ahead prohibition flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, Control is passed to the next processing (processing of step 2420).

  Next, in step 2508, the change-on-hold reserve prefetching effect judging means SM26k2 refers to the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information concerning whether or not each hold is a trigger hold. Next, at step 2510, the fluctuation start time suspension pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 determines whether or not there is no trigger suspension within the main game suspension based on the read information.

  In the case of Yes in step 2510, in step 2512, the change preparation time suspension pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the time shortening gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2512, in step 2514, the change-on-hold reserve read-out effect determination means SM26k2 executes a change-on-start look-up lottery to be won with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/50) , And proceeds to step 2518. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2512, in step 2516, the change start suspension pre-reading effect judging means SM26k2 is the second main game side the change start time pre-reading lottery winning with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/50). The process is executed only for the suspension of H. Then, the process proceeds to step 2518. The predetermined probability does not have to be 1/50, and by changing the predetermined probability, it becomes possible to adjust the degree of expectation that the pre-reading effect becomes a big hit.

  Next, in step 2518, the change start reservation prefetching effect determination unit SM26k2 determines whether or not there is a hold that has been won in the change start prediction lottery. In the case of Yes in step 2518, in step 2520, the change prefetching read ahead presentation effect judging means SM26k2 adds information to the effect that "trigger is put on hold" to the hold that has won the relevant spread start prefetching lottery (that is, At the time of holding occurrence and at the start of fluctuation, information that "trigger is on hold" can be added. Next, at step 2522, the change start reservation prefetching effect judging means SM26k2 turns on the change start look-ahead winning flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the next process (step 2420) Move to The information to the effect that "trigger hold" is added to the hold information is deleted along with the deletion of the hold information at the time of the trigger hold.

  On the other hand, if the result of step 2502 is No, that is, if the current process is a process for the next change of the change related to trigger suspension, then in step 2526, the change start reservation prefetching effect judging means SM26k2 The change start prefetching prohibition flag in the flag area of the storage means SM21b is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420). Also in the case of No at step 2506, step 2510 or step 2518, the process proceeds to the next process (the process at step 2420). By configuring in this way, the processing of step 2504 to step 2524 is not executed in the next fluctuation of the fluctuation relating to trigger suspension (processing is not performed on the lottery relating to whether or not trigger suspension occurs at the start of fluctuation). ) Will be

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. First, in step 2602, the figure display content determination means SM21n refers to the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether or not the symbol content determination permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the clothing display content determination means SM21 n turns off the symbol content determination permission flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21 b. Next, in step 2606, the symbol display content determination means SM21n temporarily changes the symbol display information temporarily stored in the symbol display related information temporary storage means SM21b (the stop symbol / variation mode of the main game symbol, information concerning the game state, etc. Based on the information stored in the process of step 2418), the stop symbol of the decorative symbol {eg, when the stop symbol pertaining to the main game symbol is a big hit symbol, Zoro such as "7, 7, 7," In the case of the eye, lost design, it is determined that the scattered characters such as "1 3 5" etc. are temporarily stored in the graphic display related information temporary storage means SM21b.

  Next, in step 2650, the figure display content determination means SM21n executes an effect content determination process, which will be described later. Next, in step 2608, the figure display content determination means SM21 n turns on the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the figure display related information temporary storage means SM21 b. Next, in step 2610, the figure display content determination means SM21 n generates an effect execution schedule on the basis of information relating to the execution of the effect determined in the process of step 2606 and step 2650. Next, in step 2610, the figure display content determination means SM21 n generates an effect execution schedule (details will be described later) in the variation based on the information related to the determined effect execution, and performs the next process (step 2700) Move to

  On the other hand, if the result of step 2602 is No, in step 2612 the device display content determination means SM21n refers to the value D of the preliminary effect determination counter SM24c and the predicted number of times S of preliminary effect execution in the variation, and the value of the preliminary effect determination counter SM24c It is determined whether D is a value smaller than the scheduled effect execution scheduled number of times S or not. Here, the value of the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D and the number of notice effect execution scheduled times S are configured by the process in step 2650.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2614, the device display content determination means SM21n increments (increments) the value of the notice effect determination counter SM24c D by one. Next, in step 2616, the drawing display content determination means SM21n determines the content of the D-th notice effect in the variation by lottery based on the variation pattern of the decorative symbol. Next, in step 2618, the figure display content determination means SM21 n updates the effect execution schedule based on the content of the determined advance effect, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 2700). Also in the case of No in step 2612, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2700). As described above, the content of the advance presentation effect is divided into a plurality of times to be determined in order to increase the processing efficiency of the sub main routine, and in particular, the fluctuation such as performing a long-time reach effect In this case, since the number of times of the lottery for the advance notice effect may be enormous (for example, about 100 times), the effect of enhancing the processing efficiency is effectively exhibited.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 in FIG. First, in step 2652, the figure display content determination means SM21 n refers to the figure suspension information temporary storage means SM22 b and determines whether the change is a change relating to trigger suspension. In the case of Yes in Step 2652, the drawing display content determination means SM21n is symbol variation information (variation mode information, stop symbol information, gaming state information etc.) stored in the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b in Step 2654 Based on the information stored in the process of step 2418, the variation pattern of the decorative symbol in the variation is determined, and the process proceeds to step 2660.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2652, in other words, in the case where the change is a change relating to trigger suspension, in step 2656 the figure display content determining means SM21n suspends the change pattern of the decorative symbol in the change. It decides on the fluctuation mode for exclusive use at the time of digestion (for example, the fluctuation mode etc which performs story reach production etc). Next, in step 2658, the figure display content determination means SM21 n turns off the background change effect execution flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23 b, and proceeds to step 2660. Here, the background change presentation execution flag is a flag that executes the background change presentation while it is on, and in this example, by turning off in this process, the background change up to the fluctuation related to the trigger suspension. It is configured to end the rendering.

  Next, in step 2660, the notice effect display content determination means SM 24n derives the execution timing of the notice effect and the number of times S of the notice effect performed based on the determined variation pattern of the decorative symbol. Next, at step 2662, the notice effect display content decision means SM24n sets "1" as the initial value of the notice effect decision counter SM24c value D.

  Next, in step 2664, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and determines whether the background effect execution flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2664, in step 2666, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n refers to the graphic display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether or not the change is a change related to trigger suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2666, in step 2668, the notice effect display content determination means SM24n determines the D-th change (when the process is performed, the initial value “1” is set based on the determined change pattern of the decorative symbol. Since "is set," the contents of the first preliminary announcement effect are determined by lottery.

  Next, in step 2670, the background effect display content determining means SM23 n determines the content of the background effect in the variation as “non-prefetching background”, and shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2608).

  Here, as shown in the background change effect display image in the figure, the background for non-prefetching is the background for daytime, the background for exclusive use for prefetching is the background for night, and for the player there is a trigger hold within the hold. It is comprised so that it can alert | report whether it exists or not. In the present embodiment, when the background rendering execution flag is ON, a background dedicated to prefetching is displayed, and when the background rendering execution flag is OFF, a background for non-prefetching is displayed.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2664 or step 2668, at step 2672, the notice effect display content determining means SM24n sets the D-th (in the case of executing the processing, an initial value "1" is set) in the fluctuation. Therefore, the content of the first advance notice effect is determined as the advance notice effect contents dedicated to the pre-reading effect execution (e.g., an effect for counting down the remaining number of changes until the change relating to the trigger hold). Although not illustrated in particular, when the second main game side fluctuation occurs while executing the advance notice effect over a plurality of changes with the first main game side hold as trigger hold, in the relevant prefetching The advance notice effect is configured to be forcibly ended. However, if a conflict does not occur between the content of the advance notice effect and the actual game, the effect may be continued.

  Next, in step 2674, the background effect display content determination means SM23 n determines the content of the background effect in the change as “pre-reading background”, and shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2608).

  Here, as shown in the example of the effect execution schedule in the figure, in this example, the elapsed time from the start of the change and the effect execution content can be managed in association with each other. When the effect to be performed is determined in a plurality of times by updating the effect execution schedule (updating in the processing of step 2610 or step 2618) each time the effect execution content in the fluctuation is determined (or changed) Also, the content of presentation and the execution timing can be properly managed. In this example, since there is a case where the advance notice effect may be executed immediately after the start of the change, the first advance notice effect in the change is configured to determine the content in the first process.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. First, in step 2702, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b and determines whether the symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2702, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol content determination flag in the flag area of the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21b in step 2704. Next, in step 2706, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns on a symbol variation flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. Next, in step 2708, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the variation time relating to the variation to the effect timer SM 21t and starts the process, and proceeds to step 2710. Also in the case of No at step 2702, the process proceeds to step 2710.

  Next, in step 2710, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and determines whether the symbol variation flag is on or not. In the case of Yes in step 2710, in step 2712, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 confirms the timer value of the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule. Next, in step 2714, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 has reached the variation start timing of the decorative symbol based on the effect timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule temporarily stored in the dressing display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2714, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the variation display command of the decorative symbol in step 2716 (stores in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and proceeds to step 2722.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2714, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 at step 2718 is based on the decorative timer SM21t and the effect execution schedule temporarily stored in the costume display related information temporary storage means SM21b. It is determined whether stop display timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2718, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets the stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the decorative symbol in step 2720 (stores in transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and proceeds to step 2722 Transition.

  Next, in step 2722, the notice effect display control means SM24 (and the reach effect display control means SM25) temporarily sends the effect timer SM21t and the notice effect related information temporary storage means SM24b (and the reach effect related information temporary storage means SM25b). It is determined based on the stored presentation execution schedule whether or not the display timing of the advance notice image or the reach image is reached. In the case of Yes in step 2722, in step 2724, the notice effect display control means SM 24 (and reach effect display control means SM 25) sets an image display command related to the notice image or the reach image (transmission command temporary storage means SM 40 b-2 And the process proceeds to step 2726. Also in the case of No at step 2722, the process proceeds to step 2726.

  Next, in step 2738, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a symbol change end command is newly received. In the case of Yes in step 2738, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 sets a stop display command (decision display command) of the decorative symbol in step 2742 (stores in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2). Next, in step 2744, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 stops the effect timer SM21t and resets the value (zero clear). Next, in step 2746, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 resets (zero clears) the notice effect determination counter SM24c value D and the notice effect execution scheduled number S of times. Next, in step 2748, the decorative symbol display control means SM21 turns off the symbol changing flag in the flag area of the drawing display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2800) Do. Also in the case of No at step 2710 or step 2738, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2800).

  Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of special game related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. First, at step 2802, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and determines whether or not the special game in progress flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 2802, in step 2804, the background effect display control unit SM23 refers to the main information temporary storage unit SM11b and refers to whether or not a special game start display instruction command is newly received. If YES in step 2804, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the graphic display related information temporary storage means SM21b in step 2808, and the big hit is the first hit (big hit during non-probability fluctuation and non-time shortening gaming state) It is determined whether or not If Yes in step 2808, then the process proceeds to step 2812. On the other hand, if No in step 2808 (if the big hit is the first hit), in step 2810, the background effect display control unit SM23 resets (zero clears) the number of times counter SM23c, and shifts to step 2812. In addition, this example is only an example to the last, and it is not limited to this, for example, it may be configured to reset (zero clear) the number of times counter SM23c for continuous play at the end of the specified game by reaching the upper limit fluctuation number of the specified game.

  Next, at step 2812, the background effect display control means SM23 adds 1 (increment) to the value of the continuous play number counter SM23c2. Next, in step 2814 and step 2816, the background effect display control means SM23 turns on the special game in progress flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b and makes a big hit on the effect display device SG. The start display is performed (the display is appropriately performed based on the type of the big hit), and the process shifts to step 2818. Also in the case of No at step 2802, the process proceeds to step 2818.

  Next, in step 2818, the background effect display control means SM23 sequentially displays the number of rounds, the number of wins, and the number-of-times-of-playing counter on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main side. (It may be appropriately executed as necessary based on the type of game or the type of jackpot, etc., and the counter value of the number of consecutive units is displayed as the number of consecutive units).

  Next, in step 2820, the background effect display control unit SM23 refers to the number-of-times counter SM23c2 and determines whether the counter value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (for example, 10). In the case of Yes in step 2820, in step 2822 the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the graphic display related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the running big hit is the maximum round big hit (eg 16R big hit, 7A -Determine whether or not it is a big hit pertaining to the 7B symbol. In the case of Yes in step 2822, in step 2824, the background effect display control means SM23 performs ending effect {predetermined conditions (for example, the number of consecutive nights during a specific game, the total number of winning balls obtained during continuous periods, a plurality of types Set the command related to the display of the special game or special game during the special game which is displayed only when the specific effects of the condition are all satisfied, etc.) Do. On the other hand, if either of step 2820 or step 2822 is No, in step 2826 the background effect display control means SM23 sets a command relating to the big hit in progress, and shifts to step 2828.

  By configuring in this way, it is possible to make special the effect to be displayed during the big hit, based on the number of consecutive hits in the specific game. In addition, this example is an example to the last, and it is not limited to this, For example, you may comprise so that several conditions may exist as generation | occurrence | production conditions of an ending production.

  Next, at step 2828, the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command is newly received. If YES in step 2828, the background effect display control means SM23 sets a special game end display instruction command (stores in the transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2) in step 2832. Next, in step 2834, the background effect display control means SM23 turns off the special game in progress flag in the flag area of the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 3000). . Also in the case of No in step 2804 or step 2828, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 3000).

  Next, FIG. 27 is a pre-read effect image diagram according to the present embodiment. This image diagram exemplifies the case where the pre-reading effect relating to the first main game side is the pre-reading effect of executing the on-hold change effect and the background effect at the time of the non-time shortening game. First, in the state of (a), there are two normal holding balls (holds that are not trigger hold) on the first main game side, and there is no trigger hold and the main game symbol is fluctuating. In this state, the winning pre-selection lottery and the variation start pre-reading lottery may be executed. Next, one hold is newly generated on the first main gaming side anew from the state of (a), and it becomes the state of (b). In the state of (b), since the newly generated hold is won in the prize-reading look-ahead lottery and the trigger is put on hold, the pre-reading effect is executed from the next change. In addition, the trigger hold is displayed in a display mode different from the normal hold (in the figure, the normal hold is illustrated by a circle and the trigger hold is illustrated by a star). In addition, since the newly generated hold is the trigger hold, the winning pre-selection lottery and the variable start pre-selection lottery are not executed.

  Next, from the state of (b), the state where the main game symbol in fluctuation has stopped is the state of (c). Next, from the state of (c), the state where the next fluctuation is started is the state of (d). In the state of (d), the hold change effect, the background effect, and the countdown effect are executed as the pre-reading effect. Further, since the number of times the main gaming symbol has stopped changing until the start of the change relating to the trigger hold is two, the number of the countdown effect is "2". Next, from the state of (d), (e), (f), (g) and the main gaming symbol stop twice, the countdown effect is finished, and then the state where the variation of the main gaming symbol is started ( h). In the state of (h), since the change of the trigger hold is being performed, the story effect is executed as the effect content. Next, a state in which three holds occur while the trigger hold fluctuates is the state of (i).

  Next, in the state of (j), the fluctuation relating to the trigger suspension is lost, and the background effect is ended. Next, from the state of (j), the state where the next fluctuation is started is the state of (k). At the start of the change of (k), the look-ahead lottery at the start of change is not executed because of the next change of the change related to the trigger suspension. In addition, by configuring in this way, the pre-reading effect such as the countdown effect is not continuously executed, and the game will be advanced without distracting the player (for example, cut as a pre-notice effect relating to the pre-reading effect) When there is a law that determines that the cut-in effect is a pre-reading effect pertaining to the big hit when the in-effect is executed, if the cut-in effect continues four or more times, the pre-reading effect across two variations ends It is likely that the player will be confused because it may not be a big hit when the pre-reading effect over the other two fluctuations is executed from the next fluctuation.

  Next, from the state of (k), the state where the fluctuation has ended is the state of (l). After the timing of (l), it is possible to execute the pre-reading lottery. In the timings (a) to (l), it is a change that is present in the trigger hold within the main game hold or related to the trigger hold, or because it is the next change of the final change in which the background effect is executed In order to prevent confusion and continuation of the effect, it is configured not to execute the pre-selection lottery for winning and the pre-selection lottery for variation start.

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when trigger hold is present in the main game hold, the variable start look-ahead lottery and the prize look-ahead lottery are not executed, and trigger hold is also performed. In the next change of the change, the start of the change look-ahead lottery is not executed. As a result, the pre-reading effect relating to a plurality of trigger suspension is continuously executed, and other pre-reading effect is not executed while the pre-reading effect is being executed, and the pre-reading effect currently being executed by the player is changed This makes it possible to prevent misidentification as to pre-reading effect started from, which makes the game machine more user-friendly.

  Note that the execution start timing of the pre-reading effect (hold change effect, background change effect) is not limited to this example, for example, when hold occurs, when fluctuation starts, when predetermined advance effect is performed, operation of sub input button SB It may be configured to be able to start presentation at times, etc. In addition, when executing the hold change effect, a display object for changing the hold is made to appear, and such a display object causes the display mode of the hold to be changed (for example, the character appearing from the screen edge attacks the hold, It may be configured to be able to execute an effect of changing the display mode of the hold.

(Modification 1)
Here, in the present embodiment, the pre-reading effect is configured not to be continuously executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the program is continuously executed if false recognition of the player does not occur even if it is continuously executed. It may be configured as follows. Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be described as a modified example 1 from this embodiment and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the fluctuation start look-ahead determination process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 18 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from this embodiment is about step 2523 (variation 1), and the purpose is the change concerning the special game concerned with the change concerning trigger suspension in the first change after the special game execution end Even if there is a change start, it is to be configured to be able to execute the look-ahead lottery. That is, when the change is a change relating to trigger suspension in step 2504, the change start suspension pre-reading effect determination means SM26k2 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b in step 2523 (new 1) and the change It is determined whether or not the fluctuation is related to the big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2523 (variation 1), the process proceeds to step 2524, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420).

  By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when a change related to trigger suspension becomes a big hit and a special game is executed (that is, a prefetch effect related to trigger suspension, Since the special game is executed between the pre-reading effect relating to the next hold of the trigger hold, the pre-reading effect also occurs in the next variation of the trigger hold, if there is little discomfort even if the pre-reading effect continues. By configuring to be able to be performed, the interest of the game is enhanced by increasing the opportunity to execute the pre-reading effect.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when the change relating to the trigger hold becomes a big hit, the configuration is such that the look-ahead lottery at the start of change can be executed by the next change of the change relating to the trigger hold. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is configured that, when the change relating to the trigger hold is a big hit and the gaming state is changed, the look-ahead lottery at the start of the change can be executed in the next change of the change relating to the trigger hold. It is also good.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, in the next change of the special game, even if the next change is the next change of the change relating to the trigger suspension, it is possible to execute the look-ahead lottery at the start of change Although it comprises, the composition which can perform change start look-up lottery at the next change of change concerning trigger suspension is not limited to this, for example, after fluctuation for a long period of fixed time of change, suspension is all digested It is sufficient that the player can recognize that the continuous pre-reading effect has ended by the passage of a predetermined time from the fluctuation relating to the trigger suspension such as the fluctuation after the change of the game state or the change of the gaming state.

(Modification 2)
Here, in the present embodiment, the display mode of the hold is changed at the timing of winning the pre-reading lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and under a predetermined situation, the hold is different at the timing different from the present embodiment. You may comprise so that a display mode may be changed. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is set as a modified example 2 from the present embodiment, and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of hold information management / display content determination / display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. 17 in the second modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2650 (mod 2) and step 2423-1 (mod 2) to step 2423-3 (mod 2), and the purpose thereof is to win the pre-winning lottery at the time of winning. When changing the pending display mode, the timing of the change is configured to be able to be performed at the start of the next change. That is, in step 2410, when the new hold is a trigger hold, in step 2650 (v. 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 executes the pre-winning effect contents determination process at the time of winning, which will be described later. Migrate to 2426.

  In addition, after executing the pre-reading effect contents determination processing of step 2550, or in the case of No in step 2420, in step 2423-1 (modification 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 temporarily displays drawing hold information. The flag area of the storage means SM22b is referred to to determine whether the hold change reservation flag is on or not (the hold change reservation flag may be turned on in the process of step 2650 (mod. 2)). In the case of Yes at step 2423-1 (v 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM 22 at step 2423-2 (v. 2) holds the trigger hold temporarily stored in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM 22 b. A second display mode of display {display mode of display determined in the process of the subroutine of step 2650 (mod 2)} is determined as the display mode of display. Next, in step 2423-3 (v. 2), the drawing hold information display control means SM22 turns off the hold change reservation flag in the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b, and proceeds to step 2424. Do. On the other hand, also when it is No at step 2423-1 (variation 2), the process moves to step 2424.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flow chart of the pre-winning effect contents determination process in accordance with the subroutine of step 2650 (mod 2) in FIG. 29 in the second modification from the present embodiment. In the figure, steps 2652 to 2660 are the same as steps 2552 to 2560 in the present embodiment, and steps 2662 to 2664 are the same processing as steps 2562 to 2564 in the present embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  First, at step 2661-1, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM26 n refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b and is currently fluctuating for a predetermined time (120 seconds in this example, and is displayed during super reach effect). It is determined whether or not the main game symbol, which is a fluctuation time of the fluctuation mode in which the holding display can not be recognized visually by displaying a predetermined moving image in the entire area SG10, is in fluctuation. . If Yes in step 2661-1, in step 2661-2, the pre-reading effect contents determination means SM 26n renders the hold display mode of trigger hold determined in step 2654 or step 2658 or step 2660 as the second hold display mode. The temporary storage mode is temporarily stored in the temporary storage information storage means SM22b, and the temporary display mode is determined to be white, which is a normal temporary display color (a default display color in which the pre-reading effect is not performed). Next, at step 2661-3, the pre-reading effect content determination means SM26 n turns on the hold change reservation flag in the flag area of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b, and proceeds to step 2662. Also in the case of No at step 2661-1, the process proceeds to step 2662.

  By changing as described above, the effect during the change of the main game symbol, which is the change time of the predetermined time (in this example, 120 seconds) according to the second modification from the present embodiment is the super reach effect, In the gaming machine configured such that a predetermined moving image can not be viewed by displaying a predetermined moving image in the entire display area SG10 during execution of the super reach effect, prefetching at the time of winning is performed during execution of the super reach effect. When the lottery is won, the player can visually recognize that the display mode of the hold has been changed by configuring the change of the display mode of the hold at the start of the next change, which makes the game more user friendly. It becomes a machine.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the second modification from the present embodiment, in the case of winning the pre-winning lottery at the time of winning is configured to be able to change the display mode of the hold at the start of the next change The timing to execute the change is not limited to this, as long as it is an appropriate timing according to the effect being executed at the time of the pre-reading lottery winning (for example, the state where the hold display can not be viewed by the player Timing etc.). Further, the effect of changing the effect execution timing is not limited to the display mode of the hold, but there is a problem (if the player can not visually recognize etc.) if the prefetch effect is executed at the timing of winning the prefetch lottery Any presentation may be used (for example, comment announcement presentation etc.).

(Modification 3)
Further, the aspect of the rule relating to the executability of the pre-reading effect is not limited to this, and an aspect may be provided in which the pre-reading effect is forcibly executed as an exception to the rule. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is set as a modified example 3 from the present embodiment, and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the winning pre-reading determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. 19 in the third modification example of the present embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2451-1 (variation 3) and step 2466 (variation 3), and the purpose thereof is when the suspension of the variation mode delimiter information of the variation delimiter 5 occurs. , It is to constitute so that it will be elected to the lottery at the time of prize winning. That is, if the time saving game is not in progress at step 2451 or if a new hold is a hold on the second main game side at step 2452, then at step 2451-1 (mod. 3), the winning reserve read ahead effect judging means SM26k1 With reference to the main information temporary storage means SM11b, it is determined whether or not the new suspension variation mode delimiter information is not the variation delimiter 5.

  In the case of Yes in step 2451-1 (v3), the process proceeds to step 2454, and in the case of No, in step 2466 (v3), the winning reserve pre-reading effect determining means SM26k1 temporarily suspends drawing reservation information In the storage means SM22b, the information to the effect that "trigger hold" is added to the hold information related to the hold to temporarily store (and delete the information indicating that trigger hold is from other trigger hold in main game hold) And move on to the next process (the process of step 2410).

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of effect content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2650 in FIG. 23 in the first modification from the present embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2671 (variation 3) and step 2673 (variation 3), and the purpose thereof is the case where trigger suspension is suspension where the variation mode delimiter information is the variation delimiter 5 and It is to be configured to be able to execute different effects in the case where it is not present. That is, when it is No in step 2664 or step 2666 (when the background rendering is performed or the change is not a change relating to the trigger suspension), the background effect display content determining unit SM23 n is a trigger in step 2671 (v3). It is determined whether or not the hold is not a hold that the fluctuation mode delimiter information is the fluctuation delimiter 5. In the case of Yes in step 2671 (variation 3), the process shifts to step 2672 to execute the same processing as that of this embodiment.

  On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2671 (v3), the background effect display content determining means SM23n at step 2673 (v3) changes the execution content of the D-th notice effect in the variation, variation mode delimiter information The advance notice effect contents (for example, the effect contents for displaying the special countdown until the trigger hold and the like, etc.) are determined only during the pre-reading effect execution relating to the trigger hold whose fluctuation segment 5 is. Here, although the details will be described later, the effect of displaying the special countdown is an effect that becomes a display mode of numbers different from the effect of displaying the countdown (In addition, the effect of displaying the special countdown is hereinafter referred to as special countdown effect Sometimes called).

  Next, FIG. 33 is an image of pre-reading effect according to the third modification from the present embodiment. This image diagram exemplifies a case where the pre-reading effect concerning the first main game side is executed as the pre-reading effect for executing the on-hold change effect and the background effect at the time of the non-time shortening game. In the figure, the normal hold is circled, the normal trigger hold (a fluctuation time of 30 seconds) is a diamond shaped mark, and the specific hold (a hold with a fluctuation time of 120 seconds fixed) changed. The trigger is shown as a star)).

  First, in the state of (a), there are two normal holding balls (holds that are not trigger hold) on the first main game side, and there is no trigger hold and the main game symbol is fluctuating. In this state, the winning pre-selection lottery and the variation start pre-reading lottery may be executed. Next, one hold is newly generated on the first main game side from the state of (a), and it becomes the state of (b). In the state of (b), since the newly generated hold is won in the prize-picking lottery at the time of winning and becomes the normal trigger hold (the fluctuation time of 30 seconds), the prefetching effect is executed from the next fluctuation of the main gaming symbol It becomes. Further, the normal trigger hold is displayed in a display mode different from the normal hold.

  Next, from the state of (b), the main game symbol in fluctuation stops and becomes the state of (c), and the state where the next fluctuation is started from the state of (c) is the state of (d) . In the state of (d), the hold change effect, the background effect, and the countdown effect are executed as the pre-reading effect. Further, since the number of times the main gaming symbol stops changing until the start of the change related to the normal trigger hold is two, the number of the countdown effect is "2". Next, from the state of (d), two pending occurrences and one of them (last pending) is a specific pending, so it is forced to be in a trigger pending (specific trigger pending) state It is the state of (e). In the state of (e), the specific hold becomes a new specific trigger hold, the information indicating that the trigger hold is from the normal trigger hold is deleted, and the display mode of the hold is also the same as the normal hold mode It has become.

  Next, the change ends from the state of (e) to the state of (f), and the state where the next change is started from the state of (f) is the state of (g). Since it is a change started in the situation where there is a specific trigger hold, a special countdown effect is executed instead of the countdown effect which has been executed up to the point of (g). Further, since the number of times the main gaming symbol has stopped changing until the start of the change related to the specific trigger hold is three, the number of the special countdown effect is “3”.

  By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the third modification from the present embodiment, when the holding with the fluctuation mode delimiter information being the fluctuation delimiter 5 occurs, the winning prefetch lottery is forcibly won. By this configuration, the appearance rate of the pre-reading effect can be adjusted, and an exceptional provision that the pre-reading effect is forcibly executed as the execution rule of the pre-reading effect can be provided, and the variation of the pre-reading effect spreads and Become. In addition, by changing the expectation of the pre-reading effect relating to the suspension of which the variation mode delimitation information is the change segment 5 to be a big hit, by making the expectation of pre-reading effect relating to the non-pending suspension be a big hit, Even if the pre-reading effect is executed, the degree of expectation of the big hit does not decrease and it becomes a user-friendly game machine.

  In addition, when the prefetching effect relating to the suspension where the fluctuation mode delimitation information is the fluctuation segment 5 is forcibly executed during a certain prefetching effect, the big hit expectation in the prefetching effect relating to the suspension is greater than the big hit expectation in the certain prefetching effect. For example, when the pre-reading effect related to the hold of which the fluctuation mode delimitation information is the fluctuation break 5 occurs, the trigger hold relating to the pre-reading effect always becomes a big hit. It is also good.

(Modification 4)
Here, in the third modification example from the present embodiment, the configuration is such that when a specific suspension occurs, it is configured to be always elected to the winning lottery at the time of winning, but a configuration that is always elected to the prefetch lottery is not limited thereto. You may be comprised so that it will be elected by all means at the time of a fluctuation start prefetch lottery. Therefore, an example of such a configuration will be described as a fourth modification from the present embodiment and will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the winning pre-reading determination process according to the subroutine of step 2450 in FIG. 19 in the fourth modification of the embodiment. First, the change from the present embodiment is about step 2457 (v. 4) and step 2466 (v. 4), and the purpose is to change the variation mode random number delimiter information under the condition that there is no trigger hold within the hold. In the case where a hold, which is the division 5, occurs, the hold is always configured to be won in the winning pre-reading lottery. That is, if no trigger hold exists in the main game hold at step 2456, then at step 2457 (v. 4), the prize hold prefetching readiness judging means SM26k1 refers to the main side information temporary memory means SM11b, and the new It is determined whether or not the variation mode random number delimiter information of the pending is not the variation delimiter 5 or not.

  In the case of Yes in step 2457 (variation 4), the process proceeds to step 2458, and in the case of No, in step 2466 (variation 4), the winning reserve pre-reading effect determination means SM26k1 is a drawing reserve information temporary storage means The temporary information is added by referring to the hold information in the SM 22b and adding information indicating that the trigger is “trigger hold” to the hold information pertaining to the new hold and the trigger is on hold from other trigger hold in the main game hold Information is deleted), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2410).

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the fluctuation start look-ahead determination process according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. 19 in the fourth modification example from the present embodiment. First of all, the change from this embodiment is about step 2530 (variation 4) and step 2532 (variation 4), and the purpose is that there is a variation mode random number division information holding variation division 5 in the main game reserve In this case, the hold is to be configured to win a pre-selection lottery at the start of the change. That is, after the change start prefetching prohibition flag is turned off in step 2526, in step 2530 (v. 4), the change start suspension pre-reading effect determination unit SM26k2 refers to the drawing suspension information temporary storage unit SM22b, and the main game It is determined whether or not the variation mode random number delimiter information holds the variation delimiter 5 within the suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2530 (v. 4), in step 25 32 (v. 4), the change start suspension pre-reading effect judging means SM26k2 refers to the suspension information in the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22 b and the fluctuation time Among the holdings that will be a specific time, add information that the trigger order is "trigger hold" to the hold information pertaining to the first hold, and temporarily store it (assuming that it was won in the lottery lottery at the start of fluctuation), The process moves to step 2522. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2530 (variation 4), the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2420).

  By changing as described above, in the gaming machine according to the fourth modification from the embodiment, when the change aspect random number division information hold of the change division 5 occurs in the situation where the pre-reading effect is executed, By configuring so that the pre-reading effect of holding the hold as a trigger hold can be performed from the start of the change after the end of the pre-reading effect execution (the start of the next change of the change related to trigger hold), The present invention can provide a user-friendly gaming machine by preventing the player from being confused by executing the pre-reading effect (pre-reading effect in which the fluctuation mode random number division information is triggered by the holding of the fluctuation break 5 as a trigger hold). Become.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the fourth modification from the present embodiment, when the prefetch lottery is executed when the suspension of the variation delimiter 5 occurs in the variation mode random number delimiter information, the execution end of the prefetch effect is completed. Although the pre-reading effect is configured to be executed at the start of fluctuation after (after the end of the fluctuation relating to trigger suspension), the variation mode random number delimiter information is the condition of the execution availability of the pre-reading effect relating to the suspension of fluctuation segment 5 However, the present invention may be configured such that, even if a hold occurs in which the variation mode break information is the change break 5 during the execution of the pre-reading effect, the pre-reading effect relating to the hold does not occur.

  Further, in the present embodiment, although the winning pre-selection lottery can be executed even during the change regarding trigger suspension, the pre-selection lottery may not be executed during the change regarding trigger suspension. When configured in this manner, it is possible to prevent the situation in which another pre-reading effect is executed from the next change after the pre-reading effect is finished, and the player pre-reads whatever content the effect content relating to the pre-reading effect is. It will be possible to recognize the final variation of the presentation.

  In this example, although the change start prefetch lottery is configured to be able to be executed for the hold that will be digested after the end of the change, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the change prefetch random draw is related to the change May also be implemented (the variation may be a variation related to trigger hold). When configured in this manner, the display mode of the digested reserve in the gaming machine configured to continuously display the display related to the digested reserve even after the reserve is digested and the fluctuation is started. It becomes possible to execute pre-reading effects such as changing the.

  In this example, when executing the advance look-up lottery at the time of winning, if there is a trigger hold within the hold, it is configured not to execute the advance look-up lottery at the time of winning, but the conditions for not executing the advance look-up lottery at the time of winning Is not limited, even if there is a hold that is a big hit in the hold, there is a specific fluctuation (such as a fluctuation mode that is a reach fluctuation) in the hold, etc. Even if it is configured not to execute the pre-selection lottery at the time of winning Good.

Second Embodiment
Here, in this embodiment, whether or not to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the special game is determined based on the stop symbol of the main gaming symbol, but if configured as such, the player during the special game running There is a risk that the interest in the game will be lost, and an example of a configuration that does not impair the player's interest in the game even while the special game is in progress will be referred to as a second embodiment. Only the differences will be described in detail.

  The gaming machine according to the second embodiment includes, in the second big winning opening C20, a specific area C22 in which gaming balls can enter and a specific area insertion detection device C22s. Here, the specific area entering detection device C22s is a sensor that detects the entry of the gaming ball into the specific area C22, and generates specific area entering information indicating the entering when entering the ball. The gaming ball having entered the second large winning opening C20 is configured to be detected by one of the second large winning opening winning detection device C21s and the specific area insertion detection device C22s.

  Further, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment determines whether or not the game ball has entered the specific area C22, the second area winning prize opening having the specific area entering ball determining means MJ11-C22 and the specific area C22. With distribution game execution control means MP36 for executing the distribution game to open and close C20, and distribution game related information temporary storage means MB40b for temporarily storing information related to the processing of the distribution game There is.

  First, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of special game control processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. 5 in the second embodiment. First, the difference from the present embodiment is step 1611 (second), step 1700 (second) and step 1650 (second), and the purpose is to execute a sorting game. That is, in step 1611 (second), the special game execution means MP33 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and the number of rounds executed in the special game is the distribution game execution round (in this example, , 2R and 4R) are determined. In the second embodiment, two rounds not continuous with 2R and 4R are taken as the rounds related to the opening of the second big winning opening C20, but this is because the game ball can not flow down during the special game. When the game area D30 has been stored in a specific place (so-called ball jam), etc., the game ball is returned to the second large winning opening C20 (or the specific area C22) again for the player. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to enter the game {Whether or not the gaming state after the special game becomes the probability variation gaming state depends on whether or not the second large winning opening C20 (or the specific area C22) Such a point is important because it is determined}. Moreover, in the second embodiment, two rounds related to the opening of the second large winning opening C20 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and more rounds related to the opening of the second large winning opening C20 It may be a round.

  In the case of Yes in step 1611 (second), the allotment game execution control unit MP36 executes an allotment game execution process to be described later in step 1700 (second), and proceeds to step 1634. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 1611 (second), the process proceeds to step 1612.

  Also, after setting the special game end display instruction command to the sub side at step 1638, at step 1650 (second), the distribution game execution control means MP36 determines the game state determination processing after the end of the special game described later. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the distribution game execution processing according to the subroutine of step 1700 (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, in step 1702, the distribution game execution control means MP 36 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB 20 b and determines whether the distribution game in progress flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1702, the process proceeds to step 1716.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1702, the distribution game execution control means MP36 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b in step 1704, and the stopped main game symbol has a long opening symbol (4B · 5A ··· It is determined whether or not 5B, 7A, 7B). In the case of Yes in step 1704, in step 1706, the distribution game execution control means MP36 has a long open pattern (for example, open for 15 seconds) as the open pattern of the second big winning opening C20 having the specific area C22. Then, the open pattern (designed to make the ball entering the specific area C22 deterministic) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1710. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1704, in other words, in the case where the stop symbol is the short opening symbol (4A), in step 1708, the sorting game execution control means MP36 has a second large winning opening C20 having a specific area C22. As an open pattern, set a short open pattern (for example, an open pattern which is open for 0.1 seconds and designed to be non-entering the specific area C22 definitively), The process moves to step 1710.

  Next, in step 1710, the allotment game execution control means MP36 clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c. Next, in step 1712, the distribution game execution control means MP36 turns on the distribution game in progress flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1864, the allotment game execution control means MP36 opens the second large winning opening C20 with the set opening pattern, and proceeds to step 1716.

  Next, in step 1716, the allotment game execution control means MP36 checks the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c, and determines whether or not the predetermined number (10) of gaming balls have won in the second large winning opening C20. Do. In the case of Yes in step 1716, the process proceeds to step 1720. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1716, the allotment game execution control means MP36 determines in step 1718 whether or not the open period (set open pattern) of the second large winning opening C20 is ended. In the case of Yes in step 1718, the process proceeds to step 1720.

  Next, in step 1720, the allotment game execution control means MP36 closes the second large winning opening C20. Next, at step 1722, the sorting game execution control means MP36 turns off the sorting game execution flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1723, the distribution game execution control means MP36 determines whether or not the game ball has entered the specific area C22 in the execution round of the distribution game. In the case of Yes in step 1723, the distribution game execution control means MP 36 determines in step 1724 whether or not the entry is the first entry in the special game being executed. In the case of Yes in step 1724, the distribution game execution control means MP36 is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting the sub region specific ball entry command to the sub main control unit SM side in step 1725 ( In the control command transmission processing of step 1930, the sub main control unit SM side is transmitted). Next, in step 1726, the allotment game execution control means MP36 turns on the main game probability change transfer reservation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and proceeds to step 1728. On the other hand, also in the case of No at step 1724, the process proceeds to step 1728. Also in the case of No in step 1723 or step 1724, the processing shifts to step 1728. Next, in step 1728, the allotment game execution control means MP36 adds 1 to the round number counter (ends the execution round of the allotment game), and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1634). Also in the case of No in step 1718, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1634).

  Next, FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the gaming state determination processing after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 (second) in FIG. 36 in the second embodiment. First, at step 1662, the specific game control means MP50 refers to the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b and determines whether or not the main game probability change transfer reservation flag is on. If Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means MP50 turns off the main game probability change transfer reservation flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1666, the specific game control means MP50 sets the probability variation number counter MP51c a predetermined number of times (80 times). Next, in step 1668, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, at step 1670, the specified game control means MP50 sets the limited frequency switching counter MN 52c a predetermined number of times (20 times). Next, at step 1672, the specific game control means MP50 sets the time reduction number counter MP52c a predetermined number of times A (80 times), and proceeds to step 1676. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1662, in step 1674, the specified game control means MP50 sets the time reduction number counter MP52c a predetermined number of times B (50 times), and proceeds to step 1676. In this example, although it is constituted so that a predetermined value may be set to limited frequency change-over counter MN52c and time saving number counter MP52c, it is not limited to this, for example, a value set to each counter based on a big hit symbol It may be configured to be changeable.

  Next, in step 1676, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the main game time short flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b. Next, in step 1678, the specific game control means MP50 turns on the auxiliary game time short flag in the flag area of the special game related information temporary storage means MB20b, and shifts to the next process (the process of step 1910).

  Next, FIG. 39 is a flowchart of special game related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2800 in FIG. 17 in the second embodiment. The difference between this embodiment and the present embodiment is step 2817-1 (second) to step 2817-5 (second), and the purpose thereof is to hold inside consecutive fixed unit fixed specific area entering ball presentation and normal specific area entering ball presentation To do. After setting the command relating to the jackpot start display at step 2816 or when the special game flag is on at step 2802, at step 2817-1 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 stores the main side information temporary storage With reference to the means SM11b, it is determined whether or not a specific area entry command is newly received from the main side. In the case of Yes at step 2817-1 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11 b at step 2817-3 (second), and the on / off random number delimiter information It is determined whether there is a hold that is 1 or 2 for pass / fail. In the case of Yes in step 2817-3 (second), in step 2817-4 (second), the background effect display control means SM23 determines that the on-hold consecutive-run fixed area has the effect of entering a large area Set the command to execute the effect of notifying the existence and probability that the gaming state after the special game being executed becomes the probability fluctuation gaming state) (set in transmission command temporary storage means SM40b-2), and shift to step 2818 Do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2817-3 (the second), in step 2818-5 (the second), the background effect display control means SM23 normally determines the game play after the special game entering special effect (special game being executed is A command to execute the effect of notifying that the probability change gaming state is to be made is set, and the process shifts to step 2818. Also in the case of No at step 2817-1 (second), the process proceeds to step 2818.

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, transition to the probability fluctuation gaming state after the special game depending on whether or not the gaming ball enters the specific area during the special game. By configuring to determine whether or not it is determined, the player can continue playing without losing interest in the game even during the special game, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

(Modification 1 from the second embodiment)
Here, in the second embodiment, it is configured to be able to execute the prefetch lottery at the time of occurrence of suspension (at the time of winning) and at the start of fluctuation of the main gaming symbol, but is not limited thereto. May be configured to be implemented. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is taken as a first modification of the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  Note that the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment has a probability variation counter MP51c capable of counting the number of variations in the probability variation gaming state, and a variation mode (variation time etc.) of the main gaming symbol at the limited frequency. And a limited frequency variation mode determining means MN52 to determine. In addition, the limited frequency variation mode determination means MN52 is referred to when the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta referred to when determining the variation mode according to the main gaming symbol at the limited frequency, and the limited frequency referenced in the probability variation gaming state And a limited frequency switching counter MN52c for counting the number of times of change up to the timing of changing the table.

  First, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the first (second) main game symbol display processing according to the subroutine of steps 1400 (1) and (2) in FIG. 10 in the first modification from the second embodiment. . First, changes from the second embodiment are steps 1411-1 (second variation 1) to 1411-5 (second variation 1) and step 1450, and the purpose is limited to the probability change gaming state It is to be configured to refer to the frequency table. That is, after determining the stop symbol relating to the main game symbol in step 1410-2, in step 1411-1 (the second change 1), the game content determination means MN sets the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Referring to it, it is determined whether or not the main game probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1411-1 (the second change 1), the process proceeds to step 1412, and in the case of No, in the step 1411-2 (the second change 1), the game content determination means MN determines the limit frequency switching counter It is determined whether or not the counter value is greater than 0 with reference to the counter value of the MN 52c. Next, in step 1411-3 (the second change 1), the first main game change mode determination means MN51-A (the second main game change mode determination means MN51-B) is limited frequency change corresponding to each game state With reference to the mode determination lottery table MN52ta (in particular, the limited frequency table 1), to the main gaming symbol equality lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) (especially, variation mode lottery random number) Based on the game, the variation mode of the main game symbols is determined, and these are temporarily stored in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C.

  Here, FIG. 41 (in particular, the limited frequency table 1) is an example of the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 1 is referred to in the first to the twenty-first time variation of the main gaming symbol after the end of the special game in the time saving gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. Moreover, since the fluctuation of the first main game side is lower profit for the player than the fluctuation of the second main game side when referring to the limited frequency table 1, the fluctuation of the first main game side is the fluctuation of the second main game side The symbol fluctuation time is configured to be relatively long as compared to. Further, on the second main game side, the fluctuation time is relatively shorter when referring to the limited frequency table 1 than when referring to the limited frequency table 2 described later.

  Next, in step 1411-4 (second modification 1), the game content determination means MN subtracts one from the counter value of the limited frequency switching counter MN 52c, and proceeds to step 1414. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1411-2 (the second change 1), in step 1411-5 (the second change 1), the first main game change mode determination means MN51-A (the second main game change mode determination means MN51 -B) refers to the lottery table MN 52 ta (especially, the limitation frequency table 2) for limitation frequency variation mode determination corresponding to each gaming state, the main gaming symbol acceptance lottery result and the first main game content determination random number (the second main Determine the variation mode of the main game symbols based on the game content determination random number) (especially, the variation mode lottery random number), temporarily store these in the first and second main game symbol information temporary storage means MB11b-C, step 1414 Migrate to That is, as shown in the first modification (and the second embodiment) from the second embodiment, the game state after the end of the special game is determined by the presence or absence of the game ball in the specific area C22 during the special game. In the selected gaming machine, the variation mode determination table (for example, the limited frequency table) to be referred to differs with the gaming state after the end of the special game depending on the presence or absence of the gaming ball in the specific area C22.

  Here, FIG. 41 (in particular, the limited frequency table 2) is an example of the limited frequency variation mode determination lottery table MN52ta. In the first modification from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 2 is referred to by the variation of the main gaming symbols 21 to 80 after the end of the special game of the time saving gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. Moreover, since the fluctuation of the first main game side is lower profit for the player than the fluctuation of the second main game side when referring to the limited frequency table 2, the fluctuation of the first main game side is the fluctuation of the second main game side The symbol fluctuation time is configured to be relatively long as compared to (in order to be able to hold the second main gaming side while the main gaming symbol on the first main gaming side is fluctuating). In addition, a specific variation aspect “BX” (details will be described later) is present in the variation aspect at the time of being referred to on the second main game side of the limitation frequency table 2. In the first modification of the second embodiment, the specific variation mode is provided only for the variation mode at the time of hitting, but there is no problem in providing it also at the time of losing. However, as will be described later, in the case of the specific fluctuation aspect “BX”, in the case of the symbol fluctuation related to the fluctuation aspect, there is a suspension that is scheduled to become a hit. Since the intention is to suggest or notify the existence of the suspension that is scheduled to be the hit, the symbol change and symbol stop related to this specific change mode "BX" It is desirable to be configured to execute different notification modes depending on the case where there is a scheduled to be scheduled and the case where there is no scheduled to be hit. The details will be described later). In addition, during the time reduction / probability fluctuation gaming state (so-called, ST), with regard to the fluctuation time when the first main game player's hold occurs, the second main game player's hold occurrence with high degree of profit expectation for the player Set to 5 seconds in order to wait for, but it is not limited to this. For example, if it becomes a big hit (especially, a big hit related to a long opening symbol) on the first main game side during ST, the second It may be configured to have the same fluctuation time (and effect) as the main game side, and if it becomes a big hit on the first main game side during ST, it will be a big hit on the second main game side It may be configured to be able to execute an effect that is not selected (for example, an effect that asks whether or not to be a long open jackpot, and may be an effect during special game execution). In addition, a plurality of patterns may be provided also for the fluctuation time when there is a loss.

  Also, after the condition device operation flag is turned on in step 1440, or if the stop symbol is not a big hit symbol in step 1430, the game content determination means MN executes a specific game end determination process described later in step 1450. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 (second modification 1) in FIG. 10 in the first modification from the second embodiment. First, the change from the second embodiment is about step 1470 (the second change 1) to step 1476 (the second change 1), the purpose is that the probability change gaming state is ended by the number of times of change of the main game symbol To be able to That is, in step 1470 (the second modification 1), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the counter value of the probability variation number counter MP51c, and determines whether the counter value is larger than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1470 (second modification 1), in step 1472 (second modification 1), the specified game control means MP50 subtracts 1 from the count value of the probability variation number counter MP51c. Next, in step 1474 (the second change 1), the specific game control means MP50 refers to the counter value of the probability variation counter MP51c, and the counter value (the remaining variation count until the probability variation gaming state ends) is 0 It is determined whether the In the case of Yes in step 1474 (the second change 1), in step 1476 (the second change 1), the specific game control means MP50 sets the main game probability change flag in the flag area of the specific game related information temporary storage means MB30b. Turn off and move on to step 1454. Also, in the case of No in step 1470 (second modification 1) or step 1474 (second modification 1), the processing shifts to step 1454.

  Next, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of hold information management / display content / display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 17 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The change points from the second embodiment are step 2428 (the second change 1) and step 2430 (the second change 1), and the purpose thereof is, in the probability change gaming state, the look-ahead lottery at the time of winning and the look-ahead of change start It is to constitute so as not to execute the lottery. That is, in step 2408, the suspension information (random number value) transmitted from the main side is temporarily stored in the modeling suspension information temporary storage means SM22b, and then in step 2428 (second modification 1), the rendering suspension information display control is performed. Means SM22 refers to the main information temporary storage means SM11b and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the probability variation gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 2124 (the second modification 1), the process shifts to step 2450 to execute processing relating to the winning pre-reading determination. On the other hand, if the result of the step 2428 (the second change 1) is No, the process proceeds to the step 2426 without executing the processing relating to the winning pre-reading determination.

  Further, in step 2418, the suspension information (random number value) relating to the symbol variation is deleted from the drawing suspension information temporary storage means SM22b, and the remaining suspension information is shifted, and then in step 2430 (second change 1) The drawing hold information display control means SM22 refers to the main side information temporary storage means SM11b, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is not the probability variation gaming state. In step 2430 (the second modification 1), in the case of Yes, the process proceeds to step 2500 to execute the process related to the change start prefetching determination, in the case of No, the process related to the change start prefetch determination is not performed To step 2426.

  Next, FIG. 44 is a flowchart of a decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2700 in FIG. 17 in the first modification from the second embodiment. The points of change from the second embodiment are the steps 2714-1 (second variation 1), 2714-2 (second variation 1) and 3400 (second variation 1), and the purpose thereof is during the change It is to carry out a pre-reading lottery. That is, in step 2714-1 (the second modification 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the costume display-related information temporary storage means SM21b, and the variation mode of the main game symbol during variation is the specific variation mode. It is determined whether or not. In this example, the specific fluctuation mode is “BX” which is a fluctuation mode (in this example, a fluctuation time of 40 seconds in this example) which can be selected only when referring to the limited frequency table 2, and During the change of the main game design pattern, a random change preview described later will be executed.

  In the case of Yes in step 2714-1 (the second change 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 refers to the clothing display related information temporary storage means SM21 b in the step 2714-2 (the second change 1), and the decoration concerned It is determined whether or not the fluctuation of the symbol has reached the pre-reading lottery timing (30 seconds from the start of fluctuation). In the case of Yes in step 2714-2 (the second change 1), the decorative symbol display control means SM21 executes the change in-prediction pre-reading execution processing described later in step 3400 (the second change 1) and shifts to step 2722 . If NO in step 2714-1 (second change 1) or step 2714-2 (second change 1), the process shifts to step 2718.

  In addition, in the modification 1 from the second embodiment, it is determined whether or not the variation of the decorative symbol according to the specific variation mode has reached a predetermined timing (30 seconds from the start of variation) using a timer. Blinking pattern data is configured to be able to execute a random reading prefetching on the way, but is not limited to this, for example, blinking pattern data, which is set for each fluctuation mode and is information related to the lighting mode of the electric lamp with the passage of time In the column, trigger information indicating the timing of executing the pre-reading lottery is included, and when the illumination lamp blinks according to the contents of the illumination lamp blinking pattern data sequence, the illumination according to the timing indicated by the trigger information At the same time as the lighting of the decoration lamp is performed, it may be configured to execute the pre-selection lottery in the middle of variation. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to execute the random reading prefetch lottery halfway at the timing intended for the design by executing the blinking pattern data that is constructed in advance along with the passage of time. There is a merit that there is no need to use a timer to measure the execution timing. That is, in the sub game control means (sub main control unit) SM which controls the execution timing of the effect including the variation display and the stop display of the decorative symbol, in the data for effect execution built in advance along with the passage of time Since it is sufficient to include trigger information, it is possible to use other data (for example, so-called motion control of a movable body part for presentation even if it is not in data for presentation execution using such an electric decoration lamp) The same merit can be enjoyed even if the trigger information is included in the data of

  In addition, in the example 1 of change from the second embodiment, although "BX" was made into a specific change mode, it is not limited to this, and a special time type, a specific change mode may be selected. It may be changed appropriately, such as whether it is a hold on the side or a hold on the second main game side) or the number of holds.

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the variation halfway prefetch execution process according to the subroutine of step 3400 (second modification 1) in FIG. 44 in the first modification from the second embodiment. First, in step 3402, the reserve prefetching effect execution control means SM26 refers to the drawing reserve information temporary storage means SM22b, and reads information relating to whether or not each hold on the second main game side is a trigger hold. Next, at step 3404, on the basis of the read information, the reserve pre-reading effect execution control means SM 26 determines whether or not there is a trigger on-hold (pending on the following variation pre-selection lottery) within the second main game side's on-hold It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 3404, in step 3406, the reserve pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 is for each of the second main game side based on the hold information (e.g., lottery random number etc.) in the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22 b. Determine in advance the pending result of the pending. Next, in step 3408, the reserve prefetching effect execution control means SM26 refers to the preliminary determination result of each reserve of the second main game side determined in advance, and whether or not there is a reserve that becomes a big hit in the second main game reserve Determine if In addition, in this processing, it is determined whether or not there is a hold that becomes a big hit in order from the first hold in the second main game hold, and the following for the first hold that becomes a big hit in the hold It is configured to execute a random reading lottery on the way. That is, since the first main gaming side holding on the non-preferential digest side (and relatively disadvantageous for the player), and the second main game side holding even after the first holding which is a big hit For each hold, it is configured not to be able to execute the change preview prefetch lottery in the middle of the process, but the reason configured in this way is that the process of performing the change preview prefetch lottery is simultaneous with the effect execution currently in progress Since it is necessary to have an immediate response that it is possible to change the contents of the current ongoing rendering execution according to the result of the drawing, which is performed in parallel, it is possible to save the execution of the extra drawing process as much as possible. It should be added that it is configured to prevent the above-mentioned wrinkles.

  In the case of Yes in step 3408, in step 3410, the reserve pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 only changes the first pre-selection lottery that wins with a predetermined probability (1/2) to the jackpot of the second main game side Execute for the target. Next, in step 3412, the reserve prefetching presentation effect execution control means SM26 determines whether or not the foremost big hit reserve has been won by the in-the-way prefetch lottery performed in step 3410. In the case of Yes in step 3412, in step 3414, the reserve pre-reading effect execution control means SM26 is “trigger pending” in the pending information relating to the pending on the variable pre-reading lottery in the drawing pending information temporary storage means SM22 b. It temporarily stores the information to that effect. Next, at step 3416, the pre-retention presentation effect execution control means SM26 rewrites the stop symbol of the decorative symbol relating to the change to a special stop symbol, and shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2722). Also in the case of No in step 3404, step 3408 or step 3412, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2722).

  Here, the right side of the same figure is an illustration of the effect of previewing effect execution during change. This image figure is won in the first look-up lottery during the fluctuation performed during the fluctuation (the time 30 seconds after the start of fluctuation) of the main game symbol which is the specific fluctuation mode (the fluctuation mode "BX" and fluctuation time 40 seconds) It illustrates a case where the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is rewritten. First, at the start of variation, the scheduled stop symbol of the decorative symbol is "777". When the variation time of the decorative symbol has passed and the prefetch lottery timing (30 seconds from the variation start) is reached, the prefetch lottery in the middle of the variation is executed, and the lottery lottery in the middle of the variation will be won. Here, by winning in the variable reading prefetch lottery, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is rewritten from "777" to "AAA" which is a special stop symbol. Then, it reaches 40 seconds from the start of fluctuation which is the stop timing of the decorative symbol, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed by "AAA" which is the scheduled stop symbol after being rewritten. By visually recognizing the special stop symbol "AAA", the player can know that there is a jackpot in the second main game hold other than the jackpot related to the variation.

  In the first modification from the second embodiment, the configuration is such that it is possible to execute the random change prefetching lottery only for the big hit in the second main game hold, but it is not limited to this, it is in the middle of change The special drawing type (whether the first main game side is on hold or the second main game side is on hold), the propriety of the hold, etc. may be appropriately changed. In addition, the winning probability of the prefetch lottery may also be changed, or may be 1/1 (for example, if there is a suspension that becomes a big hit in the main game suspension at the time of the lottery lottery determination, the prefetch lottery is always won). In addition, even in the case where it is possible to execute the fluctuation halfway prefetch lottery only for the suspension that becomes the big hit in the second main game reservation, the special game which becomes the specified number of rounds (for example, 16R) in the fluctuation halfway prefetch lottery It may be configured to execute only for the jackpot pending according to.

  By configuring as described above, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the variation mode of the main gaming symbol is provided with the specific variation mode, and the decorative pattern according to the particular variation mode is in the middle of variation If a variable reading prefetch lottery is executed at a predetermined timing and the variable reading prefetch lottery is won, a special stop symbol (in this example, the special display symbol for the stop display symbol of the decorative symbol in the fluctuation related to the specific fluctuation pattern) If the special stop symbol is stop-displayed and becomes a big hit by being configured to be able to be changed (rewritten) to “AAA”), there is a hold that becomes a big hit in the hold of the second main game side It is possible to create a new playability of being notified to the player.

  In addition, because it is configured to be able to execute the preview on the way to the change at a predetermined timing (30 seconds after the start of the change in the change of 40 seconds) during the change of the decorative symbol according to the specific change mode Compared with the case where the lottery is executed, it is possible to execute the prefetch lottery for the suspension caused from the start of the fluctuation to the timing of the execution of the prefetch lottery in the middle of the fluctuation, and an opportunity for the special stop symbol to appear to inform the player of high profit. To increase the interest of the game.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, it is configured not to be executed in the same game state (non-probability fluctuation gaming state) as the other way around lottery random prediction random lottery The present invention may be configured such that all pre-reading lottery can be executed in the same gaming state without limitation. In such a case, it is preferable that the pre-reading effects are not continuous with each other to prevent the player from being unable to recognize which pre-reading effect is being executed.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the fluctuation halfway prefetch lottery and the other prefetch lottery (prefetch lottery at the time of winning, fluctuation prefetch at the time of fluctuation start, etc.) are executed in the same gaming state When configured to obtain, even if the pre-reading effect relating to the other pre-reading lottery is executed, it is possible to execute the pre-selection lottery in the middle of the change, and when the pre-selection lottery during the change is won, the change The pre-reading effect according to the change pre-selection lottery may be performed forcibly from the winning timing of the pre-reading lottery. In addition, when the fluctuation mode of the trigger suspension related to the prefetching effect related to the other prefetched lottery is the specific fluctuation mode, the configuration may be configured such that the variable prefetching lottery may be executed during the fluctuation related to the trigger suspended. .

  In the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, only the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is changed from the winning timing of the pre-selection lottery when the pre-selection lottery is won during the change halfway, In addition to the stop symbol of the decorative symbol, the effect during the change is configured to be changed to a specific effect (for example, an effect of notifying that it has won the change lottery ahead of time) from the winning timing. It is also good. In addition, when winning in the change look-ahead lottery, it not only rewrites the stop symbol (or the effect to be executed) related to the currently changing symbol variation, but also relates to the trigger hold that exists in the second main game hold The stop symbol (or the effect to be executed) in each variation up to may be configured to be rewritten as well.

  In addition, the effect contents during the fluctuation concerning the specific fluctuation mode (in this example, "BX" and the big hit fluctuation) become a big hit by the expectation that the big hit hold exists within the hold, and the hold existing within the hold It may be configured to be determined based on the benefit mode in the case of For example, as in the present example, when the percentage of jackpots to shift to the probability variation gaming state after the special game is 100%, the jackpot present in the hold is a hold pertaining to the high profit jackpot (16R probability variation big hit) In some cases, the effect that a boss monster appears is executed, and in the case where the low profit jackpot (2R probability variation big hit) is a hold, the effect that a miscellaneous fish monster appears can be executed so that the specific variation mode According to the type of monster that appears in the fluctuating effect, it informs that it will be a big hit (so-called, pending inside connection) by the suspension that exists within the suspension, and it will notify the profit mode in the case of being within the connection. An effect becomes executable.

  When configured in this way, the game is played for the player from the time of the halfway look-ahead lottery winning to the end of the big hit suspension existing in the second main game suspension (in the case where there is a gap variation, a period including the same gap variation) Alternatively, an effect may be executed as if it were won in one special game which is a profit mode of two special games (for example, 16R × 2 and 32R). For example, the boss monster A is made to appear as an effect during the special game according to the specific fluctuation mode, and the effect of defeating the boss monster A at the time of fluctuation according to the main gaming symbol after the special game is continuously displayed. At the same time, by causing Boss Monster B to appear, a series of effects in which Boss Monster A and Boss Monster B appear is executed during the period from the change pertaining to the specific change aspect to the end of the special game pertaining to the subsequent pending Urenso. Therefore, the player can be rendered as if a big hit (for example, 32R special game) exceeding the profit aspect of the highest profit big hit is executed in one special game.

  In addition, when it is configured to be able to execute the effect of notifying the pending Uranso, the ending effect (in particular, the number of endings is 10 times during the execution of the special game pertaining to the suspension within the Pending Uranso. When it is planned that the effect to be executed only when the predetermined conditions such as reaching, etc. are satisfied, it is possible to notify that the ending effect is to be executed at the time of the special game pertaining to the suspension within the suspension. It may be configured as follows. In addition, as described above, a period from the special game concerning the fluctuation of the specific fluctuation mode to the special game concerning the hold (here, the hold for which ending effect is executed) from becoming a big hit in the hold. By configuring so as to be able to execute the effect, it becomes possible to execute an ending effect that displays a moving image with a longer execution scale than the conventional ending effect (for example, the digestion time per special game 1R is 8 seconds If it is, it is possible to secure at least 256 seconds of performance execution measure in 32R).

  In addition, the fluctuation mode in which the advance look-ahead lottery is executed is configured to be selected only at the big hit (for example, 16R probability variation big hit) which is the highest profit for the player, and further, when the predetermined timing at the highest profit big hit fluctuation is reached. It is determined whether or not the highest profit big hit is present in the hold, and if the highest profit big hit is present in the hold, the stop symbol in the fluctuation related to the currently highest hit jackpot is changed to the special special stop symbol. By being configured to be changeable, when the special stop symbol (the highest profit jackpot) is stopped and displayed, the highest profit jackpot in the fluctuation is executed, and further, the pending profit is hit with the highest profit jackpot. The player is notified (that is, the 16R probability variation big hit is executed multiple times within 5 variations), so the effect (special stop symbol is stopped) The effect) shown it is possible to increase once the excitement of the player.

  Further, in the first modification example from the second embodiment, the specific variation mode for executing the random change prefetching lottery can be selected only during the probability variation / time shortening gaming state, but it is not limited to this. For example, the specific variation mode may be selected also in the time shortening / non-probability variation gaming state, and during the normal game, an auxiliary game is won, and the second main game start opening electric bonus B11d is long When a time (for example, 5 seconds in a row) is opened, the specific variation mode may be selected in the second main game side suspension generated by the game ball entering the second main game start port B10 It may be configured as follows.

  In the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, the limited frequency table 2 can be referred to in the probability variation / time shortening gaming state, but in the non-probability variation gaming / time shortening gaming state Alternatively, the limitation frequency table 2 may be referred to.

  In addition, in the gaming machine according to the first modification from the second embodiment, when the special stop symbol is stopped, there is configured that there will be a big hit suspension in the second main game suspension. Therefore, in the special game according to the special stop symbol and the fluctuation after the end of the special game according to the special stop symbol, it may be configured to execute an effect to notify that the special game will be won again within the hold.

  In the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the pre-reading lottery is configured to be able to be executed at the time when the hold is made or when the change of the main gaming symbol starts, but the pre-reading lottery is performed at this timing. For example, it may be configured to be able to execute the prefetch lottery at the timing when the gaming ball enters the specific area during the special game. In addition, when configured in this way, at the timing when the game ball enters the specific area, the game state after the special game in progress is finished (refer to the specific game status with reference to the main game holding ball's random number division information). Performs on / off judgment in probability fluctuation game state for entering into the area for all the suspension, and when there is a big hit suspension in the main game suspension, a preview effect of special game limitation (for example, a game) It may be configured to be able to execute a so-called on-hold in-line consecutive notice effect, etc.), which is an effect of generating a sound effect notifying that there is a hold that will be a big hit in the main game hold.

  In addition, when configured as such, the special game limited-ahead prefetching effect is executed when there is a hit / break number 2 which is hit random number division information which becomes a loss in the non-probability fluctuation gaming state and becomes a big hit in the probability fluctuation gaming state. It is desirable to configure to get. By configuring in this way, the timing of the winning prize or the start of the variation of the main game symbol starts on the yes / no break 1 which is the success or failure random number division information that is a big hit in either gaming state of probability fluctuation gaming state and non probability fluctuation gaming state Hold change effect that changes to rainbow color is executed as a pre-reading effect that can be executed at the timing of, and becomes a loss in the non-probability fluctuation gaming state and becomes a big hit in the probability fluctuation gaming state. It can be configured such that the special play during special game limitation can be performed as a preliminary read-out effect that can be performed when the game ball enters the specific area during execution, and it is appropriate that the two preliminary read-out effects are not performed simultaneously It will be possible to carry out a pre-reading effect. {In addition, entering a specific area (= Can also have the meaning that effect the transition to change gaming state notifying determined)}. In addition, with regard to the reserve which is the pass / fail division 1, since it becomes a big hit in both the gaming state of the probability variation gaming state and the non-probability variation gaming state, the pending inside consecutive announcement announcement effect (for example, rainbow color representing the big hit finalization suspension Even if the game ball does not enter the specific area C22 after performing the effect of changing to the display of the game area, the game ball is displayed on the specific area C22 if it is a hold of the effect However, it is possible to execute an appropriate pre-reading effect (in particular, an effect of notifying a big hit confirmation) that does not occur when a non-probability fluctuation gaming state is not entered.

  In this example, the main game content determination random number information, the success / failure random number division information, the variation mode random number division information and the variation mode range information are transmitted to the sub side at the timing when the suspension is won, but the sub side Information to be sent to is not limited to this, information related to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, information related to the profit mode of the main game symbol to be a big hit (the number of rounds of special games according to the main game symbol to be stopped, etc. ), The number of reservations immediately after the holding winnings (only the number of holdings on the first main gaming side or the second main gaming side that has won the prize, or the number of holdings on both the first main gaming side and the second main gaming side may be used) It may be configured to be able to transmit information related to

  In the present embodiment, when trigger hold is present in the main game hold, the prefetch lottery is not executed, but the condition for not executing the prefetch lottery is not limited to this, for example, the main game If there is a hold with a fluctuation time of a predetermined time or more in the hold, or if there is a hold with a reach fluctuation (fluctuation of the main game symbol that will cause reach effect), a prefetch lottery is made It may be configured not to execute.

  In addition, as a configuration of the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the main gaming symbol is displayed once after repeating “temporary stop display → re-variation (so-called pseudo variation) of the left, middle and right symbols” a plurality of times during one variation of the main gaming symbol. By stopping the gaming symbol, it is possible to execute the pseudo continuous variation, which is a rendering technique to show the player as if the main gaming symbol has been varied a plurality of times during one change of the main gaming symbol. You may In addition, when configured as such, during the execution of the pre-reading effect, the pseudo continuous fluctuation is not executed as the effect during the fluctuation related to the suspension which is digested before the trigger suspension, but as the effect during the fluctuation related to the trigger suspension It may be configured to be able to perform pseudo continuous variation.

In this example, the lottery timing of the prefetch lottery is at the occurrence of suspension, at the start of fluctuation, and during the fluctuation, but the lottery timing of the prefetch lottery is not limited to this, and may be executed at the following timing.
«Drawing timing of pre-reading lottery»
・ At the time of the change stop (temporary stop or finalized display) of the main game symbol ・ When the sub input button is pressed ・ When the reserve is settled ・ The change start, the change middle, the change stop concerning the main game pattern of the predetermined change mode

In this example, as the execution mode of the prefetching effect, it is configured to be able to execute two effects of changing the hold display mode and executing the background effect, and is configured to be able to execute both of the two effects. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution mode of the pre-reading effect may be configured as follows.
«Execution mode of pre-reading effect»
-There are multiple types of pre-reading effects, but only one is executed (only one effect is won in one pre-reading lottery winning).
-When pre-reading effect is executed, pre-reading effect of the same kind does not draw lottery, but pre-reading effect of different kind may be drawn (may be executed).
-When pre-reading effect is executed, when pre-reading effect of the same kind is elected, it presupposes that pre-reading effect of the different kind is elected (it changes pre-reading effect).
-Determine the preread effect that can be executed based on the gaming state.
The prefetching effect that can be executed is determined based on the variation mode selection pattern (if the variation mode selection pattern is different depending on the limited frequency, the prefetching effect that can be executed is different).
-A plurality of types of pre-reading effects are drawn simultaneously at a certain timing limit (in other timings, there is only one type of pre-reading effect lottery).

Third Embodiment
Here, as one form of the pre-reading effect, a part of certain character information is displayed for each change started from the time of occurrence of the trigger hold to the time of the trigger hold, and the character information displayed for each change It is also possible to execute an effect such that a certain character information (for example, a word indicating the jackpot expectation of the trigger suspension) is completed.

  In this case, the pre-hold presentation effect execution control means SM26 uses a logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) to be referred to when selecting one of the plurality of pieces of character information, and information on the pre-reading result. Based on the table (not shown) of the pre-read logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown) referenced to determine the timing of displaying one character information, and the timing of displaying one character information within one variation period of the decorative symbol And a table (not shown) for selecting a regular logo step-up notice effect to be referred to in order to determine.

Here, Table 1 is an example of the logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) included in the reserve pre-reading effect execution control means SM26. As can be seen from this table, one character information does not make sense as a single piece of information like "C" or "ANCE", but by displaying a plurality of character information continuously for a fixed period of time The word "CHANCE" is formed by continuously displaying "C", "H", "ANCE", for example, so as to make sense as specific information such as an English word. Will be However, this is an example, and as long as specific information can be configured, the character information does not depend on the language, and may use figures, colors, etc. instead of character words. In this example, the logo step-up notice effect basic table (not shown) included in the reserve prefetching effect execution control unit SM26 is configured to be the same as this table, but is configured by a separate table. May be In that case, different character information may be displayed as specific information, or the same character information as the specific information may be displayed differently (for example, “CH” “ The word "CHANCE" may be configured by continuously displaying AN "and" CE ".

Further, Table 2 is an example of a pre-read logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown). As can be seen from this table, in this example, one character information in the table of Table 2 is continuously displayed on the basis of the information on the hold prefetching result, so as to make sense as specific information. (For example, by displaying “C” for the first hold, “H” for the second hold, “ANCE” for the third hold, and “ANCE” for each variation over 3 pattern changes) , When the third reserve is digested, the word "CHANCE" is composed). In the present embodiment, the pseudo continuous logo step-up notice effect selection table (not shown) included in the reserved look-ahead effect execution control means SM26 is configured to be the same as this table, but is a separate table. It may consist of In that case, different character information may be displayed as specific information, or the character information may be the same, but displayed at different display timings (for example, the example of the number of times of holding three times described above) On the other hand, by displaying “C” and “H” at the first pseudo fluctuation and “ANCE” at the second pseudo fluctuation, an English word “CHANCE” is formed at two pseudo fluctuation digestion time points) It may be configured as follows. In addition, although it is not illustrated about the table for the logo step-up notice effect selection usually, the character information of one is continued within the pattern fluctuation period of one in the normal symbol fluctuation (the situation where the reserved change or suspension of false reading does not occur). It is attached that it is a table referred to for display.

  Next, FIG. 46 is an operation diagram of the pre-read logo step-up notice effect. First, when trigger hold occurs in the fourth hold, hold pre-reading effect execution control means SM26, logo step in the first hold to the fourth hold so that the effect is completed at the trigger hold settlement stored in the fourth hold Character information relating to the up-announcement effect is determined, and is stored in the background effect related information temporary storage unit SM23b (first stage in FIG. 46). Next, after the trigger suspension occurs, the symbol variation related to the suspension first is started, and at the same time, the first suspension character information "C" stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b is the display area SG10 Is displayed on. Also, at the same time as the character information relating to the first hold is output, the second, third, and fourth pending character information stored in the background effect related information temporary storage means SM23b is one before each. It is shifted to the storage area (the second stage in FIG. 46). In the same process, when the process proceeds to the trigger reserve digestion stage (the third to fifth stages in FIG. 46), "C" "H" "E" "RRY!" The character information will be output. In this example, after the character information related to a specific hold is output, the next hold is displayed and the next character information is output, the character information before the previous time is deleted. However, it is not limited to this. In that case, after the character information related to the specific hold is output, the displayed character information may be left until the character information related to the trigger hold is output.

  According to this example, since specific character information such as a word is divided into a plurality of character parts and these character parts are divided and displayed over a plurality of times of pattern variation, all character parts are displayed. At the stage when character information is constructed, the meaning of the notice display can be reliably transmitted to the player by the character information, and when all the character parts are not displayed, various notice displays Since the player can imagine the possibility, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. In addition, since the character parts can be selected so that the effect is completed when the trigger hold is completed, the character information can be easily converted into character parts by the number of times up to the trigger hold consumption including the trigger hold. . In this example, the character parts can be selected so that the effect is completed at the time of trigger reserve processing, but the present invention is not limited to this. In such a case, a lottery table may be provided to select character parts for each of the reserve digests up to the trigger reserve digest time, and character parts may be selected by lottery at each reserve digest (for example, In the example of FIG. 46, the lottery table is configured such that “CH” and “CHE” can be selected as well as the case where “C” is selected as the first held character information).

Fourth Embodiment
Here, although different from this example, the variation pattern table may be configured such that the number of variation table selection values is common in the same group regardless of any gaming situation.

The point here is that the variation pattern table is configured so that the number of variation table selection values is common in the same group regardless of the gaming situation. If it demonstrates concretely, as shown in FIG. 47, it will have a hit table of the deviation table of the figure (a), and the figure (b) as a fluctuation pattern table. And when the holding balls are less than a predetermined number (for example, less than 3), the loose table is referred to when the normal game (A) table is referred, and the holding balls are a predetermined number or more (for example, 3 or more) Normal game (B) time table, probability fluctuation time table and fluctuation shortening time table, and a plurality of fluctuation patterns (for example, the degree of expectation of hitting is the same or the degree of expectation is relatively similar) (Variation patterns) are grouped, and the effect determination random numbers in the same range correspond to each group (the number of variation table selection values is made common) regardless of the gaming situation (however, the groups With regard to individual variation patterns within, the effect determination random numbers in different ranges correspond to the game situation). For example, when the normal game (A) time table and the time reduction game time table are compared, they are all configured to be the effect determination random numbers in the same range (0 to 180) in the group A. However, with regard to the fluctuation patterns 1 and 2 belonging to the group A, effect determination random numbers in different ranges correspond to each other depending on the game situation. In the case of the hit table, regardless of the game situation, although it is configured to be the effect determination random number of the same range in the group regardless of the game situation, the game situation also with respect to all variation patterns belonging to the group Thus, the effect determination random numbers in the same range correspond to each other. By adopting the configuration as described above, even if the gaming situation changes after sending the hold information to the display control device 200, if the hold display corresponding to the group is performed, the frequency of switching decreases.

Fifth Embodiment
Although not particularly shown in this example, it may be configured to be able to win a small hit. Here, the small hit is a hit on the main game side, and by winning the small hit, a predetermined opening end condition (for example, entering a predetermined number of balls to the big winning opening or a predetermined opening pattern) It is a hit that will execute a unit game which opens (or opens and closes) the big winning opening until the end) is satisfied. In addition, the gaming state (in particular, the main game winning probability, the auxiliary game winning probability, the auxiliary game fluctuation time) does not change, triggered by the small hit. In the same manner (or substantially the same) as the opening mode of the big winning opening by the small hit (for example, 0.5 seconds open → 1.0 seconds closing → 0.5 seconds opening → closing), the big winning opening You may have a big hit opening the door. Also, by changing the opening time and opening number of the special winning opening during the special game, even if the number of rounds to be executed is the same big hit, the big hit of the expected value of the winning prize ball number (opening of the big opening) A long time, for example, 16R big hit that performs opening up to 30 seconds 16 times, and a big hit of small expectation value of winning prize ball number (opening time of big winning opening is short, for example, opening up to 30 seconds up to 8 It may be configured such that there is a round and a 16R big hit that performs opening for up to 0.5 seconds, and a jackpot that can be expected to obtain a substantial 8R worth of balls.

Sixth Embodiment
In addition, although it is not particularly illustrated in this example, it is a pre-displaying effect (for example, an effect that is continuously performed over one or a plurality of symbol variations, and is performed when the effect is performed). As a condition to carry out a jackpot announcement in advance at a predetermined timing before the end of the symbol variation, that is, a jackpot notice, etc., at each predetermined timing before symbol fluctuation ends until all existing reservations are digested. Among the existing reservations, it may be configured to be conditional on "the fluctuation mode of all the reservations scheduled to be digested before the hit reservation is not the fluctuation mode related to the reach effect". When configured in this way, it will be a loss due to fluctuations related to reach production despite the occurrence of reserved look-ahead effects (in particular, effects such as a big hit advance effect and effects with high expectation with a big hit hold) Can be prevented. In addition, at the time of occurrence of the hit hold, if it is not decided to execute the hold pre-reading effect, thereafter, whether or not to execute the hold pre-reading effect relating to the hit hold at every timing such as fluctuation start before the hit hold. You may comprise so that it can determine whether or not. In such a configuration, the opportunity to execute the reserve pre-reading effect increases, and it becomes possible to improve the interest of the game (for example, when the pre-doing indication effect is not executed by not satisfying the above-mentioned conditions) Also, the pending condition, which is a variation aspect related to the reach effect in the pending condition, is satisfied, and the condition is satisfied, and the pending read-ahead effect can be executed).

Seventh Embodiment
Further, although not particularly illustrated in this example, during special game, the random number temporarily stored in the holding means is referred to and the contents and / or the result of the effect to be executed after the special game ends are pre-read for the random number In addition, it may be configured to be able to execute a notice or announcing a suggestion during the special game that there is a hit or possibility of the hold. In that case, as compared with the prior art in which the advance notice is executed only when the random number is acquired, as in the prior art, there is a case in which the random number relating to the big hit exists among those held before shifting to the special game. Even if it is possible to execute the advance notice, it is possible to execute the advance notice even if there is a random number in which there is a possibility of a big hit but a variation mode that is likely to be a big hit.

  Furthermore, at multiple timings during the special game, with reference to the random numbers temporarily stored in the holding means at each timing point, the contents and / or the results of the effects to be executed after the special game is over for the random numbers, In the case where it is configured to determine the availability and / or the content of the advance notice at each timing, it is possible to reflect the transition of the hold information during the special game in the advance notice.

Eighth Embodiment
Further, although not particularly illustrated in this example, it is an effect to be executed in conjunction with the symbol variation of the auxiliary gaming symbol, and any of the auxiliary gaming game result and the main gaming game result as the effect result. The roulette effect that can be notified or suggested may be configured to be executable. In that case, at the time of roulette effect execution, as a result of being able to inform or suggest the game result on the main game side in a form independent of the variation mode of the main game symbol, as a result, the main timing at the undetermined timing for the player Notification or suggestion of the game result on the game side creates a variety of effects. Furthermore, when the roulette effect is configured to be executed independently of the variation mode of the main gaming symbol, a plurality of roulette effects occur in a period until the main gaming symbol starts and ends one symbol variation. As a result of being able to be carried out, it becomes possible to create an aspect of further presentation.

  Furthermore, when the roulette effect is determined to be determined based on the number of reservations on the first main game side, for example, when the frequency of execution of roulette effects is increased under a situation where the number of reservations is small. Even if the garbled effect (representation playing a role of mere bustling) is reduced according to the symbol variation of the first main game symbol, the amusement of the effect does not decrease for the player, and the game on the auxiliary game side Since it is possible to have a sense of expectation that the result will be won, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, when deciding whether or not to execute roulette effect, the symbol variation status of the main gaming symbol (the symbol variation status of the decorative symbol executed in conjunction with the symbol variation of the main gaming symbol) and the symbol variation status are executed in conjunction If the player is configured to cancel the execution of the roulette effect or to reduce the execution frequency, in consideration of the execution status of the various effects being played, and these conditions are conditions for the player to pay attention to. It is possible to execute roulette effect without disturbing the visibility of the information desired by the user.

  Furthermore, when the second main game start-up motorized accessory B11d is configured to be able to execute an opening / closing operation substantially the same as the opening / closing mode other than the special opening / closing mode when executing the special opening / closing mode, the auxiliary game for the player After the symbol is stopped and displayed, the second main game start opening electric combination B11d has a special opening and closing state only by visually recognizing that the opening mode of the second main game start opening electric combination B11d has performed the opening and closing operation. As a result of being configured to make it difficult to determine whether or not it is being performed, it is possible to further improve the interest of roulette performance by using the period in which the determination is difficult.

The ninth embodiment
Moreover, in said example, the display mode of suspension changes as a prefetch prefetching effect, and it comprised so that the effect which suggests the big hit expectation of the said suspension could be performed, but it is not limited to this, It may be configured to be able to execute an effect that indicates the degree of expectation of a jackpot pertaining to the suspension of.

  For example, FIG. 48 and FIG. 49 show an example of the special hold display determination table for determining the display mode of the effect which suggests the big hit expectation concerning the hold other than the hold. Here, in the figure, "Lmax" is the reliability of holding with the highest level of reliability among the holdings other than "special holding" for which special holding display is to be made. Also, “Lt” is the reliability of “special hold” that is to be subjected to special hold display. As described above, in this example, attention is paid to the difference between Lmax and Lt, that is, whether or not there is another holding of reliability higher than the reliability of the special holding, and the special holding display is displayed according to the result. It is configured to determine the content. Specifically, in this example, it is configured as follows. First, when the reliability of special holding is greater than any of the reliability of other holdings, "↑" is displayed. In particular, when the difference between the reliability of special holding and the highest reliability among other holdings is the maximum value, an indication “と い う” is displayed to indicate high reliability. Ru. Next, in addition to “の” which indicates that the special hold itself has the highest reliability, if the special hold reliability is equal to the maximum value of any other hold reliability, One or both of “→” and “→” indicating that the reliability of the hold is also the same are displayed. Here, the direction of the arrow displayed is directed to a highly reliable hold. For example, when there is a high-reliability hold when the special hold is the second one, "「 "is displayed, and when the special hold is the second one, the high-reliability is high. If there is a fourth hold, "->" is displayed. Furthermore, if the special hold is the second, a highly reliable hold is present for the first and fourth holds. Display “←” and “→”. As described above, when there is a highly reliable suspension, the scalar display (for example, when the reliability is high, the color of the suspension display is changed according to the reliability, or the form is displayed in the related art). And a vector-like display that directly or indirectly points to the high-reliability hold from a certain hold (in this example, a special hold). Furthermore, in terms of changing the number of → according to the reliability, a scalar display is also performed. Next, when the reliability of special holding is smaller than any of the other reliability, one or both of “←” and “→” indicating the direction in which the highest reliability is present is displayed. Ru. In particular, if the difference between the highest reliability and the highest reliability is the maximum, either “←” or “→→” which indicates high reliability. One or both are displayed.

  In this example, although it is constituted so that the propriety and the contents of special reservation are decided based on the information on the pre-reading of a change mode, it is not limited to this, for example, Alternatively, it may be configured to determine whether or not the special hold is made and the content based on a combination of these and the variation mode. In addition, “→” and “←”, which are special hold display modes, are merely examples, and other display modes, for example, change in display mode (for example, shape) or color of special hold (scalar display) May be configured to have vectorial meaning. As an example, if a given hold (special hold) goes into the first form (eg red), it means that there is a high hold for the hold to be digested before that, When one hold (special hold) goes to a second form (eg, blue), it means that there is a reliable hold for a hold to be digested later.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Special hold hide under trigger hold absence → special hold display)
First, FIG. 50 is an operation diagram when the trigger hold can be performed when the hold (L4) with high reliability is present. Here, the upper part is a view showing the appearance on the effect display device SG, and the lower part is a view showing the temporary storage contents of the drawing hold information temporary storage means SM22b. In this example, since the trigger hold is the target of the “special hold display”, first, the display form of the trigger hold itself becomes a special hold display form different from the normal display form. And since there is a hold (L4) higher than the trigger hold reliability (L3) prior to the trigger hold targeted for this special hold display, the additional special hold display on the special hold display A certain “←” is displayed. As a result of these displays, the player first feels anticipation at the time of digesting the third hold, since the hold pertaining to the third hold is the special hold display. Furthermore, since there is a “←” on the hold display relating to the third hold, the player holds three for the first hold or the second hold to be digested before the third hold. It will be recognized that there is a hold that is more reliable than the eye hold. As described above, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation from the stage before the third special hold display is digested.

(Special hold indication → correction of special hold indication due to change of status)
Next, FIG. 51 is an action diagram in the case of changing from the situation of FIG. 50 by the fact that the high reliability (L4) is achieved. In this example, the additional special suspension display attached to the top of the third special suspension display changes to “「 ”(upper) and“ → ”(lower). Due to this change in indication, the player can find that there is a more reliable hold than the third hold for the first hold or for the second hold, which is digested before the third hold. As well as being aware, the fourth pending will also recognize that there is a more reliable pending than the third pending. In this example, even if the same random number is configured to select different variation modes depending on the number of holding balls, the result of the pre-reading may differ. Even in such a case, if the situation changes, the prefetch result is updated again and correction of the special hold display can be performed to prevent a conflict between the special hold display content and the actual result. It becomes.

(Special hold hide under trigger hold existence → special hold display)
Next, FIG. 52 is an operation diagram when a special hold display is performed when a special hold display condition is satisfied, although the special hold display is not performed although the trigger hold can be performed. First, when the trigger hold of reliability L4 is made as the second hold, the special hold display condition is satisfied, but the special hold is not displayed as the third hold that has not yet been displayed as a hold, so special hold display Will not run. Under such circumstances, since the third hold is made, the reserved special hold indication is given to the third hold. Here, since the reliability of the third hold is L1, “「 ”is displayed as the additional special hold display. Thus, in the case of this example, the internal processing is completely different, but the display is exactly the same as FIG. In addition, if the trigger hold is digested without being able to hold further after the trigger hold is made, the special hold display will not be executed.

  According to the present embodiment, in the pachinko gaming machine in which the player is notified or suggested the result of the pre-reading after pre-reading the contents of the random number relating to the hold when the hold is present, the normal hold display In addition to or in place of the normal hold display, a special hold display is made, and this special hold display is the result of comparison between the contents of the random number pertaining to the certain hold and the contents of the random number pertaining to the hold other than the certain hold As the special hold display is made, the expectation level is not only given to the hold relating to the special hold display in the previous gaming machines when the special hold display is made, the special hold display is With regard to reservations other than such holdings, such prefetching results may also be obtained indirectly with respect to other holdings, with the degree of expectation added or reduced with the degree of expectation based on the hold pertaining to the special hold indication. The an effect that is possible to inform or suggest to the player.

  Furthermore, in the case of displaying the special storage identification information, the first step of determining the storage target for displaying the special storage identification information, the contents of the random number relating to the storage for the display of the special storage identification information, and the special storage The second step of comparing the contents of the random numbers related to the suspension other than the suspension to be displayed of the identification information and determining the special suspension identification information displayed on the suspension identification information display means based on the comparison result Since the process is executed in order, the process of determining the hold to be the display target of the special hold identification information is whether the content of the random number related to the hold from the main control unit side satisfies the predetermined condition or not The effect of being able to do with only the decision processing of whether or not is produced.

  Furthermore, when the special hold identification information display is performed, referring to the contents of the random number relating to the hold from the main control unit side, the first step of determining a certain hold not to be displayed for the special hold identification information, After comparing the contents of the random number for holding and the random numbers for holding the special holding identification information, the special holding identification information displayed on the holding identification information display means is determined based on the comparison result. Since the process is performed in the order of the second step, it is possible to easily control the high and low of the reliability in the other suspension as compared with the above aspect. That is, in this aspect, when the special hold identification information display is performed, the special hold identification information about the hold serving as the trigger is temporarily stored when the hold serving as the trigger (the hold serving as the trigger for the special hold identification information display) is temporarily stored. Is done. In this case, when the contents of the special hold display identification information are determined, it is performed based on the contents of the hold other than the hold serving as the trigger. However, for example, in the case where the jackpot probability is about 1/300 and the selection probability of the highly reliable fluctuation mode (super reach) is, for example, about 1/100, the hold that is the trigger during the hold other than the trigger hold is Even with high confidence hold is not so frequent. Therefore, in the above aspect, in many cases, the degree of expectation for the hold on which the special hold identification information is displayed is high, but the degree of expectation for the hold other than the hold is low. The content is also such content (i.e., special hold identification information that other hold balls have low reliability). On the other hand, in the present aspect, when the special hold identification information display is performed, the special hold identification information about the hold serving as the trigger is temporarily stored when the hold serving as the trigger (the hold serving as the trigger for the special hold identification information display) is temporarily stored. Special hold identification information is made for this hold other than the hold. Therefore, in this aspect, in many cases, the degree of expectation does not increase for the hold for which the special hold identification information is displayed, but there is a high expectation hold (trigger hold) in any of the holds other than the hold. As a result, the contents of the special hold identification information to be displayed also become such contents (that is, special hold identification information indicating that there is a high-reliability among other hold balls).

  Furthermore, under the situation where the special hold identification information is displayed on the hold identification information display means, when the new random number is temporarily stored in the hold means on the main control unit side, the special hold identification information is displayed. Since the rewriting process of the aspect is performed, even when the display contents of the special hold identification information before are to be revised due to the subsequent change of the situation, it is possible to cope with the situation.

  In this example, when the trigger pending presence flag is on, that is, when at least one trigger pending exists during the pending, even when a pending pending that can become the trigger pending is newly made. There is no case where a special hold display target hold different from the special hold display target hold already determined is determined. That is, in this example, the trigger hold and the special hold display target hold are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured as one to multiple, multiple to one, multiple to multiple.

Tenth Embodiment
Moreover, it is also possible to perform the production | presentation which suggests the reach production | presentation at the time of a trigger reserve consumption as one form of a pending pre-reading effect.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 53, the operation of the hold pre-reading effect that suggests the reach effect at the time of the trigger hold processing will be described. First, FIG. 53 shows an example of display content on the effect display device SG. The following description will be made in chronological order. In the table, the numbers given for holding indicate the order of digestion.

  First, at the start of the first (variation 1) change, there are four first game side reservations and two second game side reservations ("variation 1-1"). Under such circumstances, a hold that satisfies the trigger hold condition is temporarily stored as the third hold (the seventh variation order) of the second gaming side. Incidentally, this trigger hold is a hold for displaying the variation mode “A4-4” at the time of digestion. In this example, the button operation by the player is required as the advance display condition, and when the button operation is neglected, the variation mode of the trigger suspension may be forcibly replaced by the inferior one. It is assumed that the player has properly performed the button operation in accordance with the instructions when explaining. Then, the fluctuation of the first (variation 1) ends.

By the way, it is determined that the advance notice display is made stepwise at the time of the pending consumption before the trigger suspension by temporarily storing the trigger suspension at the first fluctuation. In this example, since the variation mode of the trigger suspension is “A4-4” and the value of the notice availability / content determination random number is “10”, “X ₁ (three trigger suspension ahead) is given as the continuous advance notice content. → X ₂ (Trigger pending 2 before) → X ₃ (Trigger pending 1 before) → X ₄ (trigger pending) is selected (see FIG. 54). However, since the changes 2 to 4 are not subject changes of the continuous advance notice display, no advance notice display is made as shown in FIG.

Then, the trigger hold three corresponding fifth variation before ( "fluctuation 5"), the first predictive display X ₁ is executed. At this time, since “X ₁ ” is displayed as a notice, the player can execute “Super Reach B where X ₁ appears” or the “X ₂ appears in a later hold by this change. Recognize that "Super Reach B", which is a confidence level of "Super Reach B" or higher, is to be executed (if it is not a case). It should be noted that the player looks at the effect while wishing for the latter in terms of higher reliability. And in the said fluctuation | variation, "the super reach B in which X ₁ appears" is not performed, but the 5th fluctuation | variation is complete | finished. At this point in time, if the advance notice is not “Gase”, it is determined that “Super Reach B”, which is a reliability of “Super Reach B where X ₂ appears” or more, is executed at a later hold.

Then, in the trigger hold two corresponding sixth variation before ( "fluctuation 6"), predictive display X ₂ a second time is performed. At this time, since “X ₂ ” is displayed as a notice, the player can execute “Super Reach B where X ₂ appears” or the “X ₃ appears in the hold after this. Recognize that "Super Reach B", which is a confidence level of "Super Reach B" or higher, is to be executed (if it is not a case). And in the said fluctuation | variation "super reach B in which X ₂ appears" is not performed, but the 6th fluctuation | variation is complete | finished. At this point in time, if the advance notice is not “Gase”, it is determined that “Super Reach B”, which is a reliability of “Super reach B where X ₃ appears” or more, is executed at a later hold.

Then, in the trigger hold one previous corresponding seventh variation (the "fluctuation 7"), the third-time predictive display X ₃ is executed. At this time, since “X ₃ ” is displayed as a notice, the player can execute “Super Reach B where X ₃ appears” or the “X ₄ appears in a later hold by this change. Recognize that "Super Reach B", which is a confidence level of "Super Reach B" or higher, is to be executed (if it is not a case). And in the said fluctuation | variation, "the super reach B in which X ₃ appears" is not performed, but the 7th fluctuation | variation is complete | finished. At this point in time, if the advance notice is not “Gase”, it is determined that “Super Reach B”, which is a reliability of “Super Reach B where X ₄ appears” or more, is executed in a later hold.

Then, in the fluctuation of the eighth corresponding to trigger pending ( "fluctuation 8"), fourth-time predictive display X ₄ of runs. At this time, since “X ₄ ” is displayed as a notice, the player executes “Super Reach B where X ₄ appears” or the “X ₅ appears in a later hold by this change. Recognize that "Super Reach B", which is a confidence level of "Super Reach B" or higher, is to be executed (if it is not a case). And "super reach B in which X ₄ appears" is performed by the said change ("change 8-3"), and hit symbol "333" stops.

  In this way, when the trigger hold can be made, continuous announcement can be performed at the time of fluctuation that is performed before or before the trigger hold digestion, and at the time of continuous notice, the contents of the trigger hold, particularly, change based on the trigger hold. The trigger content can be configured to be notified or suggested in a stepwise manner (step-up manner) across a plurality of reserve digests in the reserve digest before or before the trigger reserve. Unlike the prior advance notification related to reliability, it is possible to specifically grasp the contents of the trigger hold, and to be notified or suggested sequentially from those corresponding to the fluctuation mode with low reliability, so only the first time The effect is that it is possible to gradually increase the sense of expectation until the fluctuation related to the trigger hold.

  Furthermore, in the case where it is configured to decide whether or not to execute the sub-representation based on the pre-judgment result and the number of holding balls, it is ineffective if there is only an insufficient number of reservations when notifying or suggesting in stages. There is an effect that it becomes possible to prevent the execution of the process and reduce the processing load.

  Furthermore, even if execution of the sub-effect is determined, the sub-effect is not executed unless the player operates the operation information output means, and the content of the main effect at the time of trigger suspension is special game according to the operation situation of the player When configured to be able to be forcibly replaced with one with a low transition expectation, it is possible to further engage the player in the game by promoting the operation of the operation information output means.

Eleventh Embodiment
In addition, when the suspension information command is displayed from the main control board M side and the suspension information is displayed, if there is a hit or gaming status switching timing before the suspension, the suspension information is ignored. May be By configuring as such, when notifying the change result or the change mode in advance, the change notified in advance, such as when transitioning from the probability change gaming state to the non-probability change gaming state or when the time shortening game state ends It is possible to prevent notification of betraying the player's expectation that the result and / or the fluctuation mode and the actual fluctuation result and / or the fluctuation mode are different. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the trouble between the gaming shop and the player caused by the display which is betraying the expectation.

The embodiment described above is merely an example, and the invention is not limited thereto. For example, when performing pre-reading effect, the effect is switched (for example, the variation mode is changed by reaching a predetermined number of changes during ST) When there is a situation where the table to be referred to is determined), there is no pre-read effect across the switch of the effect, so that the switch of the effect and the pre-read effect intertwine and confuse the player. You may comprise so that it may prevent. In addition, conversely, when the pre-reading effect is executed across the switching of the effect, the configuration may be such that the big hit expectation is high in the fluctuation related to the hold that has triggered the effect. In addition, with regard to the reserve internal consecutive announcement notice effect, during the execution of the special game pertaining to the first hit (big hit during non-time shortening gaming state), the hold (for example, hold that is the pass / fail 1) which is a big hit Even if it exists, there is a suspension that will be a big hit in the hold during the execution (or during fluctuation) of the special game pertaining to the big hit in the time-saving gaming state without executing the pending inside consecutive villa announcement effect Only in the case, it may be configured to be able to carry out a pending Uchi Zhuang notice effect.

If there is a specific hold that satisfies the execution condition of the prefetching effect during non-execution of the special game, it is possible to execute the prefetching effect that is an effect based on the presence of the specific hold during non-execution of the special game,
As types of pre-reading effects, it has at least pre-reading effects A of a type different from the special pre-reading effects and pre-reading effects B of a type different from the special pre-reading effects and the pre-reading effects A,
When a specific hold occurs in a situation where a predetermined effect after the establishment of the reach state is displayed corresponding to the fluctuation display of the identification information, the execution of the prefetch effect A is not started in the situation,
At least holding information A and holding information B as holding information on specific holding,
While the pre-reading effect A can be executed regardless of whether the holding information on the specific holding is the holding information A or the holding information B, the pre-reading effect B is on the holding information B about the specific holding. Is executable but is not executable if it is pending information A,
There are a plurality of display modes of the pre-reading effect A, and when the pre-reading effect A is executed, the selection tendency of the display mode of the pre-reading effect A depending on whether the hold information regarding the specific hold is the hold information A or the hold information B Are configured differently, and
If there is a case where the pre-reading effect A and the pre-reading effect B are also started during the fluctuation display of the certain identification information, the pre-reading effect A is started during the fluctuation display of the certain identification information and the fluctuation display of the other identification information In some cases, pre-reading effect B is started to be executed.
Precedence effect A can be started during the variable display of the identification information, triggered by the occurrence of the specific suspension while the variable information of the identification information is displayed,
Despite the occurrence of identification suspension during the variable display of identification information, even if the prefetching effect A is not started during the variable display of the identification information, the variable display of identification information from the next time on and after the variable display of the identification information It is possible to start the pre-reading effect A,
If a specific hold occurs during the fluctuation display of certain identification information, the rate at which the pre-reading effect A is started during the fluctuation display of the certain identification information, and the pre-reading effect A during the fluctuation display of the certain identification information The pachinko game machine is configured such that the rate at which the pre-reading effect A is started to start is different at the next and subsequent variable display of identification information without starting the execution .
