Forms for implementation

  First, the meaning of each term in the present specification will be described. The term "entering a ball" includes not only a prize in which a prize ball is paid out but also a passage to a "through chucker" in which a prize ball is not paid out. The “open state, open state” and “closed state, closed state” are, for example, in the configuration of a general large winning opening (so-called attacker), open state = easy winning state, closed state = no winning state. It becomes an easy state. In addition, for example, a state of protruding from the game board (player side) (hereinafter, may be referred to as an advanced state) and a state of being retracted into the game board (opposite to the player side) (hereinafter, referred to as an evacuation state) (A so-called tongue-type attacker), the advance state = the winning state is easy, and the retracted state = the winning state is not easy. The “random number” is a random number used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko gaming machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a narrowly-defined random number (for example, a hard random number is used as a random number). Soft random numbers as random numbers and pseudo random numbers). For example, a so-called “basic random number” that affects the result of a game, specifically, a “winning random number (a random number for winning or losing lottery)” related to the transition of a special game, and a variation mode (or variation time) of an identification symbol are determined. "Variation mode determining random number" for determining a stop symbol, "symbol determining random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determining random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, a probability varying game) after a special game, and the like. be able to. It is not necessary to use all of these random numbers when determining the content of the variation mode and the content of the definite identification information, and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In this specification, the number of random numbers may be indicated in the form of the number of random numbers or a plurality of random numbers. Is called one random number (that is, in the above example, a bundle of random numbers of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + symbol determining random number... Is referred to as one random number). . Further, for example, one kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). The "game state" is, for example, a special game state in which the special winning opening can be opened, a transition to the special game state, and a transition to the special game state from a non-probability varying game state in which a lottery probability is a predetermined value. A lottery probability with a high probability variation game state, transition to a special game Auxiliary game time shortening game state with assistance for winning at the starting port which is a trigger for lottery (so-called ordinary symbol time reduction state, for example, a variable member is attached to the starting port In this case, the opening period of the variable member is long, the opening probability of the variable member is high, and the time until the result of the opening lottery of the variable member is notified is short. The “design for effect” is a display image of a kind called a so-called decorative pattern or decorative pattern, and is typically an image object such as a card type in which numerals, symbols, and the like are described. Then, the image object is finally stopped and displayed on the activated line in a combination in which the numbers and symbols are the same, thereby notifying that a big hit has occurred. The "first production symbol" and the "second production symbol" are both "production symbols", but each is configured to be able to independently notify the occurrence of a big hit. (For example, the "first effect design" becomes "777" and the occurrence of the big hit can be reported, and the "second effect design" becomes "777" and the occurrence of the big hit can be reported. But also). “Temporarily stopping (or temporarily stopping) the effect design” is synonymous with “temporarily stopping → re-performing” as one set, and performing / not performing this one set. is there. It is also synonymous with excluding the final stop display timing for notifying the occurrence of a big hit (typically, the stop display is steadily followed by the stop display of a so-called special symbol). The “design for effect” is based on the first element (for example, a number), and includes the second element (for example, color) and the third element (for example, the presence / absence / content of supplementary information such as a character or “SUPER”). It may be configured as an accessory. When the effect mode is different, the “design for effect” may be configured such that the first element is the same or the second element and / or the third element is different. In addition, since the second element and / or the third element are different, the expectation degree at which the reach fluctuation becomes a big hit, and the expectation that the symbol fluctuation related to the prefetching effect when a specific symbol combination is stopped at the time of executing the prefetching effect, are expected. The profit rate for the player, such as the number of rounds at the time of the big hit or the game state after the big hit, may be different. Further, in the case of such a configuration, in the probability varying game state, the time shortening game state, or the like, the second element and / or the third element are different from those in the normal game state. May be configured to be an advantageous element. The "information display unit" is for displaying information including a notice effect, and is, for example, an effect display device, a 7-segment LED, an LED lamp, or the like, and each of these may indicate a single unit. Alternatively, a combination of a plurality of display media such as an effect display device + 7-segment LED + LED lamp (the entire unit) may be shown. Further, the “effect display unit” is for displaying an effect including a notice effect and the like, and is, for example, an effect display device, a 7-segment LED, an LED lamp, or the like, and may indicate each of these alone. Alternatively, a combination of a plurality of display media such as an effect display device + 7-segment LED + LED lamp (the entire unit) may be shown.

  The following embodiment is a model (type 1 type 1 type multifunction peripheral) in which two conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines are mixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the case where the present invention is applied to other gaming machines (for example, conventional pachinko gaming machines such as the first type, the second type, the third type, and the general electric machine) is also within the scope. . Note that the present embodiment is merely an example, and the order of each step in various processes, the timing of turning on / off a flag, the name of a unit responsible for the processing of each step, and the like are described as an example. It is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, it should not be understood that the above-described embodiments and modified examples are applied to specific ones in a limited manner, and any combination may be used.

Note that another peripheral device may be controlled via another peripheral device controlled by the one-way communication (one-way communication) with the main control board M.

  Hereinafter, an example of a general processing flow in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described using a flowchart. The flowchart mainly includes processing steps (illustrated by rectangles), judgments (illustrated by diamonds), flow lines (arrows), and terminals (illustrated by rounded rectangles) indicating start / end / return. . In addition, when details are illustrated in another flowchart among the processing steps, those that refer to the other flowchart are illustrated as subroutines (shown by rectangles in which the left and right lines are double lines). . Here, in the development stage of the gaming machine, a gaming machine having a different specification is also developed at the same time, but in the present example, a subroutine executed by the gaming machine having a different specification is included in the processing on the main side. The configuration is such that a subroutine that is not normally used is not left, and a process related to an unused subroutine that is not normally performed is prevented from being executed due to noise or fraud.

  First, FIG. 5 is a main flowchart showing a flow of a general process performed by the main control board M. After the power of the gaming machine is turned on, the processing of FIG. That is, after turning on the power of the gaming machine and performing initialization (not shown), in step 1002, the CPUMC of the main control board M checks the input port of the RAM clear button, and resets the reset button ( RAM clear button), that is, whether or not an operation of intentionally clearing the contents of the RAM has been performed by the administrator of the game arcade or the like. If Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears all RAM contents on the main control board M side. Next, in step 1006, the CPUMC of the main control board M 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 (transmitted at this timing. Alternatively, a command may be set at the timing and 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, in step 1008, the CPUMC of the main control board M checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board M (for example, the checksum recorded at the time of power failure and the storage in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information provided.) Next, in step 1010, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are normal (whether or not the information at the time of power interruption is not backed up in the RAM accurately) based on the check result. I do. If Yes in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1004 (the above-described RAM clearing process). On the other hand, if No in step 1010, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, in step 1012, the CPUMC of the main control board M Are transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in step 1014 (the commands may be transmitted at the timing, or the commands may be set at the timing and described later). It may be configured to transmit in the control command transmission process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an execution periodic interruption (for example, a hardware interrupt every 4 ms) related to the main processing on the main control board M shown in FIG. In this example, the interrupt cycle is assumed to be T). As a result, when the execution-timed interrupt timing has arrived, FIG. 11B is executed, and the process proceeds to step 1018. After step 1018, the main control board M repeatedly executes various random number update processing (for example, increment processing of a random number counter) until the next regular interrupt timing is reached.

  It is preferable that the initial value of the temporary storage area (RAM, etc.) mounted on the main control board M is not set to the value at which the special game is executed (noise or improper operation immediately after the start of the processing of the program). Accordingly, when the processing for performing the execution determination of the special game is executed, the special game is prevented from being erroneously executed).

  Next, the timer interrupt processing will be described. The CPU MC of the main control board M executes the processing in FIG. 3B based on an interrupt request generated when the regular interrupt timing is reached. That is, when the scheduled interrupt period T arrives (for example, a hardware interrupt every 4 ms), in step 1100, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1200, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a later-described electric accessory drive determination process. Next, in step 1300, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game content determination random number acquisition process described later. Next, in step 1400, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1500, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game operation condition determination process described later. Next, in step 1600, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a special game control process described later. Next, in step 1700, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an error management process described later. Next, in step 1997, the CPUMC of the main control board M causes the prize ball payout control board KH to execute a prize ball payout control process (drive control of the prize ball payout device KE, etc.) based on the winning port where the game ball has won. , A process for managing the result, etc.). Next, in step 1750, CPUMC of main control board M executes a test signal output process described later. Next, in step 1800, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes an external signal output process described later. Next, in step 1999, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each of the above-described processes to the sub-main control unit side), and immediately before the execution of this interrupt process. The process returns to the executed process. In the control command transmission process, the order in which commands are received on the sub main control unit SM side is important (for example, the process is normally executed by receiving another command after receiving a certain command). In some cases, the main control board M is configured to transmit the commands in the order in which the commands are determined to be transmitted (the order in which the commands are set).

  Next, the NMI interrupt processing will be described. As described above, the CPUMC of the main control board M is configured so that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, the processing shown in FIG. Is executed. That is, when the power of the gaming machine is turned off (in this example, at the time of an NMI interrupt), in step 1020, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets power-off information (for example, a checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. . Next, in step 1022, the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to a power-off wait loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the auxiliary game content determination random number acquisition processing according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. First, in step 1102, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a game ball has entered (flowed in, or passed in the case of a gate) the auxiliary game starting port H10. In the case of Yes in step 1102, in step 1104, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1104, in step 1106, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires an auxiliary game content determination random number (for example, an auxiliary game symbol winning random number). Next, in Step 1108, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the reserved ball together with information on the number of the reserved ball, and proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 1200). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1102 or step 1104, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the electric accessory driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the electric accessory opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the auxiliary game symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a reserved ball relating to the auxiliary game symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1216, the CPUMC of the main control board M obtains the game state of the auxiliary game side (the flag state of the auxiliary game time reduction flag) and displays the auxiliary game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-H. Refer to and determine the stop symbol based on the acquired game state of the auxiliary game side and the random number of the auxiliary game symbol based on the reserved ball. For example, when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on (when the auxiliary game time is shortened game state) ), The winning symbol is selected and temporarily stored with a higher probability than when it is off (the auxiliary game non-time shortening game state).

  Here, the right side of the figure is an example of an auxiliary game stop symbol determination lottery table. As shown in the table, in this example, the stop symbol is “D0, D1”, the stop symbol that becomes the hit symbol is “D1”, and is released due to the stop. The opening mode of the electric accessory (the second main game starting port B electric accessory B11d) is (open for 0.2 seconds → closed) in the non-time-saving game for the auxiliary game. In addition, during the auxiliary game time reduction game, the opening mode is (open for 1 second → close for 1 second → open for 1 second → close for 1 second → open for 1 second → close). In addition, when the auxiliary game non-time reduction game is being performed (when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off), the stop symbol is likely to be a lost symbol “D0”, and during the time reduction game (when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on). In each game state, the winning / non-winning lottery table related to the auxiliary game is configured to be different so that the stop symbol is likely to be the hit symbol “D1” (whether the auxiliary game certainty changing function is activated).

  Next, in step 1218, the CPUMC of the main control board M sends the auxiliary game symbol change time to the auxiliary game symbol change management timer MP11t-H based on the game state of the auxiliary game side (the flag state of the auxiliary game time reduction flag). (For example, 2 seconds when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on, and 30 seconds when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off). Then, in step 1220, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1222, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the hold information by subtracting one from the hold ball related to the auxiliary game symbol, and the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the auxiliary game symbol change management timer. After starting MP11t-H, the variation display of the auxiliary game symbol is started on the auxiliary game symbol display section H21g.

  Next, in step 1224, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the auxiliary game symbol change management timer MP11t-H, and sets a predetermined time (a change end timing of the auxiliary game symbol) related to the change time of the auxiliary game symbol. It is determined whether or not it has arrived. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol and displays the acquired stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol on the auxiliary game symbol display section H21g. I do. Then, in a step 1228, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game symbol changing flag. Next, in Step 1230, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol of the auxiliary game symbol is a stop symbol (“D1” in this example) in which “hit” is achieved. If Yes in step 1230, in step 1232, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the second main game start port B electric accessory opening timer MP22t based on the game state of the auxiliary game side (the flag state of the auxiliary game time reduction flag). -B indicates a predetermined time related to the opening time of the second main game starting port B electric accessory B11d (for example, 5 seconds when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on, 0.2 when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is off). Seconds). Next, in step 1234, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the electric accessory opening flag. Then, in step 1236, the CPUMC of the main control board M opens the second main game starting port B electric accessory B11d. Next, in step 1238, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the second main game starting port B electric accessory opening timer MP22t-B, and sets the opening time of the second main game starting port B electric accessory B11d. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in steps 1240 and 1242, the CPUMC of the main control board M closes the second main game starting port B electric accessory B11d and turns off the electric accessory opening flag, and The processing shifts to processing (processing of step 1300).

  If the answer is No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1238. If the answer is No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1224. If the answer is No in Step 1206, Step 1224, Step 1230 or Step 1238, the following processing is performed. Then, the processing shifts to (processing of step 1300).

  In this flowchart, for convenience, the process immediately proceeds to the next step after the stop symbol is displayed in step 1226, but is not limited thereto. In such a case, the process may be shifted to the next process after a fixed stop display time of about 500 ms (for example, this process may be performed by performing a branch process using a fixed stop display flag and a timer). Achievable). By controlling in this way, it is possible to provide a time period in which the player can visually recognize that the loss has occurred in the auxiliary game when the loss pattern “D0” stops. In addition, since the display of the hit symbol continues during the operation of the electric accessory, when the hit symbol is stopped, the stop display fixed time (variable fixed time) is set to be shorter than when the lost symbol is stopped, or there is no change. By doing so, it is also conceivable to make the progress of the game smooth.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the main game content determination random number acquisition process according to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game start port entrance ball entry information is received from the first main game start port entrance ball detection device A11s of the first main game start port A10. judge. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the main game (particularly, the first main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, four). If Yes in step 1304, in step 1306, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the first main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the first main game content determination random number, a winning / failing lottery random number for determining a success / failure, a symbol random number for determining a winning symbol, and a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol are determined. The three random numbers of the fluctuation random number random numbers for obtaining the random numbers are obtained. Incidentally, these three random numbers are generated by random number generation means having different update periods and random number ranges, respectively, and are acquired in series at this timing. Next, in step 1308, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the obtained first main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1310, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is off. If Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game time reduction flag is off. If Yes in step 1312, in step 1314, the CPUMC of the main control board M preliminarily determines the stored success / failure result and the stop symbol related to the suspension based on the suspension information (the success / failure lottery random number and the symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1316, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a command related to the newly generated hold success / failure result and the command relating to the preliminary determination result of the stop symbol information to the sub main control unit SM for command transmission. It is set in the buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission processing in step 1999). In addition, the command related to the pass / fail result and the pre-determination result of the stop symbol information is transmitted to the sub-control board S side by the process of step 1316 or step 1334 described later. The command related to the symbol information (lottery result) is transmitted to the sub-control board S side by the process executed when the variation start condition of the main game symbol is satisfied in the first (second) main game symbol display process of FIG. Will be done.

  Next, in step 1318, the CPUMC of the main control board M preliminarily determines the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group related to the stored suspension based on the suspension information (variation mode random number) (variation mode random number). Regarding the delimiter information and the variation mode group, refer to the main game table 3 in FIGS. Also, in the case of No in step 1310 or step 1312, the process proceeds to step 1320. In this embodiment, one variation mode group is configured to include a plurality of types of variation modes (variation times). Next, in step 1320, the CPUMC of the main control board M sends a command related to the occurrence of a new hold (a command to generate a hold of the first main game content determination random number, a command to change the random number random number information, etc.) to the sub-main control. The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to step 1322. When the symbol information is configured to be transmitted to the sub-control board S side as in the present embodiment, an effect indicating a big hit may be executed as the effect executed on the sub-control board S side. In this case, it is desirable that the stop symbol of the main game symbol to be the big hit be notified to the player (the stop symbol is notified only when the stop symbol of the main game symbol becomes the big hit).

  As described above, 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 obtained (or when a hold occurs), the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group Is determined.

  The main game content determination random number information, the pass / fail random number segment information, the variation mode random number segment information, and the variation mode group information may be transmitted to the sub control board S at the timing when the suspension occurs. The information to be transmitted to the sub control board S side is not limited to this, and information relating to the stop symbol of the main game symbol, information relating to the profit mode of the main game symbol which becomes a big hit (special information regarding the main game symbol to be stopped) The number of rounds of the game, etc.), the number of holds immediately after the winning of the hold (only the number of holds on the winning side of the first main game side or the second main game side, both the first main game side and the second main game side) May be transmitted. The random number delimiter information may be a game state of each of the first main game side (second main game side) and a random number value. (Or random value range) and the result of the lottery It is one of the random number division information divided into groups, for example, even if it is in the probability fluctuation game state or in the non-probability fluctuation game state, it is lost, in the probability fluctuation game state or in the non-probability fluctuation game state If the game state is a probability-variable game state, it is a win, but if the game state is a non-probability-variable game state, a grouping such as losing can be given.

  Next, in step 1322, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the second main game starting port A10-1 ball detection device B11s-1 of the second main game starting port AB10-1 or the second main game starting port BB10-2. It is determined whether or not the second main game start opening ball entrance information has been received from the second main game start opening B entrance detection device B11s-2. If Yes in step 1322, in step 1324, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the number of reserved balls related to the main game (particularly, the second main game side) is not the upper limit (for example, four). In the case of Yes in step 1324, in step 1326, the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires the second main game content determination random number. In the present embodiment, as the second main game content determining random number, three random numbers of a winning / non-selecting random number, a symbol random number, and a variation mode random number are acquired in the same manner as the first main game side. 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 success / failure random number for the first main game and the success / failure random number for the second main game) Acquisition range) is set to the same. Next, in step 1328, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores (holds) the obtained second main game content determination random number. Next, in step 1330, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1330, in step 1332, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines in advance the winning / failure result and the stop symbol related to the stored suspension based on the suspension information (the winning / non-winning random number and the symbol determination random number). Next, in step 1334, the CPUMC of the main control board M sends a command for transmitting the newly generated pending / unsuccessful result and the prior determination result of the stop symbol information to the sub-main control unit SM. It is set in the buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission processing in step 1999).

  Next, in step 1336, the CPUMC of the main control board M preliminarily determines the variation mode random number delimiter information and the variation mode group related to the stored suspension based on the suspension information (variation mode random number) (variation mode random number). Regarding the delimiter information and the variation mode group, refer to the main game table 3 in FIGS. On the other hand, if No in step 1330, in step 1338, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the main game time reduction flag is off. If Yes in step 1338, the process moves to step 1340. On the other hand, if No in step 1338, the process moves to step 1332.

  Next, in step 1340, the CPUMC of the main control board M sends a command related to the occurrence of a new hold (a command to generate a hold of the second main game content determination random number, a command to change the random number random number information, etc.) to the sub-main control. The command is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 1400). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1322 or step 1324, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1400).

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the main game symbol display processing according to the subroutine of step 1400 in FIG. First, in step 1400 (1), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a first main game symbol display process described later. Next, in step 1400 (2), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a second main game symbol display process described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the first main game symbol display processing (second main game symbol display processing) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. In addition, since this process is substantially the same process on the first main game symbol side and the second main game symbol side, the first main game symbol side will be mainly described, and the process on the second main game symbol side will be described. Use parentheses. First, in step 1402, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the fluctuation start condition is satisfied. Here, the change start condition is that the symbol status corresponding to the current process is the first (second) symbol standby and the symbol status not corresponding to the current process (the symbol status related to the other main game symbol) ) Is not displaying the second (first) big hit symbol, is not executing the big hit, and holds the main game symbol corresponding to the current process (in the case of the first main game symbol display process, the first main game Is required. That is, since the parallel lottery can be executed, when performing the process relating to the first main game symbol, there is no problem even if the second main game symbol fluctuates, but the first main game symbol fluctuates. If there is, the change start condition according to the first main game side is not satisfied. As described above, in the present embodiment, the case where the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the stop symbol of the main game symbol corresponding to the current process and the other main game symbol, or the main game symbol corresponding to the current process. When the change is not in the first (second) symbol standby state (during the first (second) symbol change, during the first (second) lost symbol display, or during the first (second) big hit symbol display) Case), or when the symbol status relating to any of the main game symbols is in a big hit execution, the main game symbol corresponding to the current process is configured not to start changing.

  In the case of Yes in step 1402, in steps 1404 and 1405, the CPUMC of the main control board M temporarily stores the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number) related to the current symbol variation. It is read out and deleted, and each of the storage areas of the temporarily stored remaining holding information is shifted (holding processing). Next, in step 1406, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the result of the hit determination regarding the changing second (first) main game symbol, in other words, the main game symbol not corresponding to the current process is a big hit. {If the main game symbol not corresponding to the current process is not changing, that is, if the symbol status is not changing the second (first) symbol, it is determined as No}. In the case of Yes in step 1406, in step 1407, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the hit / failed determination result regarding the main game symbol {first (second) main game symbol} corresponding to the current process to be lost. It moves to 1410. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1406, in step 1408, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the first main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-A (the second main game success / failure lottery table MN11ta-B) corresponding to each game state. ), Based on the first main game content determination random number (the second main game content determination random number) (especially, the winning random determination random number), the main game symbol win / fail lottery is executed, and the routine proceeds to step 1410. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the other main game symbol is undergoing a big hit change, the hit determination result is lost without performing the hit lottery for the main game symbol corresponding to the current process. Specifically, a storage area storing information on the success / failure lottery result of the other main game symbol is checked, and information corresponding to a big hit in the storage area (for example, 55H ) Is stored, a determination is made as to whether or not the result of the determination as to whether or not the main game symbol is relevant for the current process is lost. With such a configuration, for example, even though the other main game symbol performs an effect in which the change is started first and the execution of the 16R jackpot is substantially determined, the change is started later. The main game symbol corresponding to the current processing is stopped at the big hit symbol where the big hit of 4R is executed. For example, the main game symbol is determined when the result of determining whether the main game symbol is a big hit is a big hit. A state in which the result of the game on the main control board M side and the effect on the sub-control board S side are inconsistent due to the fluctuating time (a state in which the 4R big hit is executed even though the 16R big hit fixed effect is displayed). It is possible to prevent the player from being confused. It should be noted that even if the other main game symbol is fluctuating and the result of the win / fail determination is a big hit, it may be configured to execute the success / failure lottery of the main game symbol corresponding to the current processing. In this case, the jackpot related to the jackpot symbol stopped earlier is executed, and the other main game symbol is forcibly stopped due to loss.

  Here, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of symbol status for grasping the status of the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol, and (1) “ "One big hit symbol is being displayed" is a symbol status related to the first main game symbol, and the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the first main game symbol, and is a situation in which the variable fixed time is set. The “2 big hit symbol is being displayed” is a symbol status relating to the second main game symbol, and the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the second main game symbol, and is a situation in which the variable hit time is fixed. “1 symbol waiting” is the symbol status relating to the first main game symbol, and corresponds to a period from the end of the fixed time of the first main game symbol change to the start of the symbol change related to the hold, (4 ) "Waiting for the second symbol" This is the symbol status related to the second main game symbol, and corresponds to the period from the end of the variable fixed time on the second main game side to the start of the symbol change related to the holding, and (5) “1st symbol change. "Is the symbol status relating to the first main game symbol, and corresponds during the fluctuation display of the first main game symbol. (6)" 2nd symbol variation "is the symbol status relating to the second main game symbol, This corresponds to the fluctuation display of the second main game symbol, and (7) “displaying the first loss symbol” is a symbol status relating to the first main game symbol, and the first main game symbol is stopped and displayed in the loss symbol. (8) “2nd lost symbol is being displayed” is a symbol status relating to the second main game symbol, and the second main game symbol is stopped and displayed with a lost symbol. And the time is fixed for fluctuation It is a situation. In this way, by providing the symbol status for each of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol, in the gaming machine capable of executing the parallel lottery, the symbol status of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol is obtained. , It becomes easy to grasp the status of each main game symbol. In addition, regarding the above-mentioned (1) (2), (3) (4), (5) (6), (7), and (8), according to any of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol. It is described that status information is provided in such a form that it can be identified, but the value stored as information is common between the main game symbols, and each main game symbol indicates to which of the main game symbols the information belongs (For example, “variable waiting = 0”, “symbol changing = 1”, “big hit symbol stopped display = 2”, “missing symbol stopped display = 3”). Is controlled to be stored in a first symbol status storage area (an area for storing the first symbol status) and a second symbol status storage area (an area for storing the second symbol status). In the present embodiment, the first symbol status is set to the first symbol standby during the execution of the big hit on the first main game side, and the second symbol status is set to the second symbol during the execution of the big hit of the second main game symbol. Although the waiting state is set, the present invention is not limited to this. Regardless of whether the first main game side is a big hit or the second main game side is a big hit, the symbol status is changed to (first symbol) during execution of the big hit. Both the status and the second symbol status) may be during the execution of the big hit, or during the execution of the big hit on the first main game side, the first symbol status is set to the execution of the first big hit and the big hit on the second main game side is being executed Alternatively, the second symbol status may be set to be in execution of the second big hit. The information on the execution of the big hit may be stored in a storage area (special electric game status) for managing the operation state of the special electric auditors other than the first (second) symbol status.

  Here, FIG. 12 (main game table 1) is an example of a first main game hit / withdrawal lottery table MN11ta-A (second main game hit / withdrawal lottery table MN11ta-B). As shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, the jackpot winning probability in the probability varying gaming state is configured to be higher than the jackpot winning probability in the non-probability varying gaming state. It should be noted that the winning probability is merely an example, and is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, a hit (so-called small hit) in which a process related to a change in the gaming state {probability changing gaming state, time shortening gaming state (including both the main gaming side and the auxiliary gaming side)} is not executed. Although not illustrated, a small hit may be generated (small hit). Further, in the case of such a configuration, for example, (1) the winning probability per small hit is different between the first main game side and the second main game side, and the first main game side is the second main game side. (The second main game side does not have to provide a small hit). (2) When a small hit is won, the game state after the end of the small hit is the same as the gaming state before the start of the small hit. It remains the same (when the big hit is won, the game state after the big hit end may be different from the game state before the big hit start). (3) The big hit is the first main game side and the second main game The winning probability is the same on both sides, and the winning probability is increased by entering the probability-variable gaming state. On the other hand, the winning probability differs between the first main gaming side and the second main gaming side in small hits. And the winning probability is not changed by entering the probability varying gaming state. (4) As a stop symbol of the decorative symbol of the changed symbol, a “special symbol” (for example, ★ such as “2 ★ 2” or “3 ★ 9” corresponds to the “special symbol”) may be stopped when the small hit is won. (5) As a stop symbol of the decorative symbol of the symbol change which has been won in the small hit, a specific result (for example, “234”) that is not a combination of three identical symbols but a combination of numbers having a certain regularity. ), A reverse order such as “432”, an odd number order such as “357”, etc.). (6) Similar (or similar) to a small hit from the player's point of view ) The jackpot (opening mode of the big winning opening C10 以上 visibility) is a big hit (2R or more, and the number of rounds is different, but it looks like the same opening mode when viewed from the player (the small hit is only one round, The winning opening C10 is opened multiple times in one round, and the big hit is the same as the multiple times. (Opening of the number is performed within a plurality of rounds) 設 け る is provided (in such a case, it is preferable to stop and display a combination of decorative symbols that is difficult for the player to distinguish between a small hit and a big hit) (8) In the second decorative symbol, the "special symbol" dedicated to small hits does not stop (or may not stop), (9) The player can distinguish between a small hit and a big hit Even in the configuration in which the combination of the difficult decorative patterns is stopped and displayed, the ratio of the small hit or the big hit differs depending on the type of the decorative pattern combination that is difficult for the player to recognize (for example, when three are arranged, In the case where a decorative symbol whose transition to the probability-variable gaming state is almost definite after the end of the jackpot is included in the stop symbol, the probability of the jackpot is higher than when the symbol is not included). Is also good.

  Next, in step 1410, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the first main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-A (the second main game symbol determination lottery table MN41ta-B), and determines whether or not the main game symbol is determined. The stop symbols related to the main game symbol are determined based on the result and the symbol random number of the first main game content determination random number (the second main game content determination random number), and these are temporarily stored.

  Here, FIG. 12 (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, one main game is selected from a plurality of main game symbol candidates (in this example, “3A · 7A” and “3B · 7B”). It is configured such that the symbol is determined as a big hit symbol. The number of rounds of the special game determined with reference to the main game symbol is 4R for 3A and 3B and 16R for 7A and 7B. In addition, the type of the random number value and the stop symbol is also an example, and is not limited to this. For example, the loss symbol is not limited to one type of symbol, and a plurality of types of symbols are provided. When a specific symbol is stopped and displayed, a state (a limited frequency state) in which the type and / or selectivity of the variation mode of the main game symbol is different from before the specific symbol is stopped and displayed. It may be configured to shift.

  Next, in step 1412, the CPUMC of the main control board M reads the first main game fluctuation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (the second main game fluctuation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B) corresponding to each game state. Referring to the main game symbol success / failure lottery result and the fluctuation mode of the first main game content determination random number (second main game content determination random number), the fluctuation mode of the main game symbol is determined and temporarily stored. It moves to 1414.

  Here, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 (main game table 3) are examples of the first main game fluctuation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A (second main game fluctuation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B). In the present embodiment, on both the first main game side and the second main game side, the main game symbol winning / rejection lottery result, the main game time reduction flag state, the number of suspensions at the start of the change, the game state at the start of the change (the time reduction game) It is configured such that the variation mode (variation time) of the main game symbol is determined based on information on the state, information on whether or not the state is the limited frequency state, and the like. That is, when the result of the lottery of the main game symbol is a hit, a fluctuation mode in which the fluctuation time is relatively long is easily determined, and when the main game time reduction flag is ON (time reduction game state), the relative fluctuation time becomes longer. It is easy to determine a variation mode in which the variation time is short, and when the number of reserved main game symbols corresponding to the current process is two or three, the number is relatively smaller than when the number of reserved symbols is zero to one. It is configured such that the variation mode in which the variation time is short is easily determined (only during loss). Note that this example is merely an example, and there is no limitation on the type of stop symbol, the selectivity, and the like. For example, the determination tendency (selection tendency) of the fluctuating time based on the number of reservations is not only the main game symbol corresponding to the current process, but also the total number of the remaining main game symbols (the number of reservations on the first main game side). The value may be determined based on a table determined in accordance with the number and the number of holdings on the second main game side). When the determination tendency of the variation mode based on the number of holdings is determined based on the number of holdings of the symbol corresponding to the current processing, when the holding is biased toward one main game side, the main gaming side with many holdings If the determination is made based on the sum of the number of reservations on the first main game side and the number of reservations on the second main game side, the number of reservations at the time of the game state transition is biased. (For example, in the present embodiment, when the symbol is changed by the number of times reduced, the state shifts from the time-reduced game state to the non-time-reduced game state, and is shifted to the second main game side). Can be controlled so that the effect is not interrupted as far as possible. Further, the symbol change time on the first main game side in the time reduction game state (when the main game time reduction flag is on) may be configured to be relatively long. {Symbol change on the second main game side} Is executed so that it is advantageous for the player, the symbol fluctuation efficiency of the first main game side is reduced, so that the second main game side is likely to be held (which is advantageous for the player). This is particularly effective when the starting port of the first main game side and the starting port of the second main game side cannot be distinguished from each other in order to construct a situation. Further, in the present embodiment, the variation mode random number delimiter information is determined for a certain random value (or a random value range), and the number of the variation mode groups (the number of the variation mode groups ( It is configured so that the random number value range and the variable time range and the random value range of the variable mode group can be different (for example, the random number range is different even for the same group 1). By transmitting the information to the sub-control board S side, a variation mode group corresponding to these game states can be derived on the sub-control board S side. That is, when the gaming state transitions between the occurrence of the hold and the time of the hold, the change mode group scheduled at the time of the hold and the change mode group executed at the time of the hold may be different. (For example, at the time of occurrence of the hold, the variation mode group was scheduled to be Group 1 because of the non-time shortening game state, but when the hold was completed, the actual variation mode group became Group 2 because of the time reduction game state. However, regarding the variation mode random number delimiter information to which a common variation mode group is assigned over all game states, the variation mode random number delimiter information is received at the sub-control board S side (after that, Without considering the transition of the game state), it is possible to normally execute a so-called hold look-ahead effect. The variation mode random number delimiter information in FIGS. 13 and 14 indicates whether the variation is the variation on the first main game side or the variation on the second main game side, whether the result of the lottery is a hit or a loss, It is configured to form different variation mode random number delimiter information depending on whether the state is the time reduction game state or the non-time reduction game state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. One variation random number segment including whether the fluctuation is on the second main game side, whether the result of the lottery is a hit or a loss, and whether the game state is a time reduction game state or a non-time reduction game state It may be configured to form information. In addition, in order to generate the second main game hold during the change of the first main game symbol in the time shortened game state which is an irregular symbol change, the first main game symbol related to the loss of the time shortened game state is generated. The contents of the fluctuation mode determination table may be configured such that a short-time fluctuation mode is not selected irrespective of the number of holds (for example, the fluctuation time is all 5 seconds or more). The number of holds shown in the figure is not the total number of the first main game hold and the second main game hold, but is the first main game change mode determination lottery table MN51ta-A. In the case of the second main game variation mode determination lottery table MN51ta-B, this is the second main game reservation number.

  Next, in step 1414, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the temporarily stored symbol change display start instruction command (stop symbol information, attribute information of the stop symbol, information on the determined main game symbol such as change mode information, and the current Is set in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmission to the sub-main control unit SM (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command transmission process in step 1999). Next, in step 1416, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the predetermined time relating to the fluctuation time of the main game symbol in the first and second main game symbol fluctuation management timers MP11t-C and starts the timer. . Next, in step 1418, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first main game symbol display unit A21g (the second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (the second main game symbol display device B20). B21g), the fluctuation display of the main game symbol is started in accordance with the fluctuation mode temporarily stored. Next, in step 1419, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the fluctuating flag. Next, in step 1420, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first (second) symbol status during the first (second) symbol change as the first (second) symbol status. Next, in step 1450, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to step 1422. In the present embodiment, since the specification for performing the parallel lottery is used, the other symbol can start to fluctuate during the execution of the fluctuation that satisfies the end condition of the specific game. During the execution of the variation that satisfies, the lottery or the like is executed in a state where the main game symbol that has started to fluctuate after the start of the variation that satisfies the end condition of the specific game is related to the specific game (for example, in the probability variation game state). In order to control not to perform the success / absence lottery, the specific game end determination processing is executed at the timing of starting the fluctuation of the main game symbol, that is, the main game probability change flag, the main game time reduction flag, and the auxiliary game time reduction. The flag is configured to be turned off at the start of the change of the main game symbol (details will be described later).

  On the other hand, if No in step 1402, in step 1421, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1421, the process moves to step 1422.

  Next, in step 1422, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time relating to the fluctuation time of the main game symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1423, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first main game symbol display unit A21g (second main game symbol display unit A21) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (second main game symbol display device B20). The variable display of the main game symbol on the game symbol display section B21g) is stopped, the display is controlled as a fixed stop symbol, and the flow proceeds to step 1427. On the other hand, if No in step 1422, in step 1424, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the second (first) symbol status, which is the main game symbol opposite to the main game symbol corresponding to the current process, to the second. (1) It is determined whether or not a big hit symbol is being displayed. If Yes in step 1424, in step 1425, the CPUMC of the main control board M is the first (second) forced stop execution command / command to the sub control board S side, and the main game symbol corresponding to the current process. Is set when the symbol status of the other main game symbol is a big hit symbol is being displayed (the first big hit symbol is being displayed or the second big hit symbol is being displayed). Next, in step 1426, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first main game symbol display unit A21g (the second main game symbol display unit) of the first main game symbol display device A20 (the second main game symbol display device B20). In B21g), for the variable display of the main game symbol corresponding to the current process, the stop symbol is changed to the lost symbol, the forcible stop is performed, and the lost symbol is displayed and controlled as the fixed stop symbol. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first main game side has a big hit, the information that the second main game symbol is forcibly stopped due to a loss is transmitted, and when the second main game side has a big hit. Is configured to forcibly stop the first main game symbol with a loss, and to determine whether the main game symbol has been a big hit, in other words, whether the main game symbol is stopped at the big hit symbol, It is determined by confirming. As described above, in the present embodiment, as the symbol status relating to the main game symbol, the symbol status when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed (during the first big hit symbol display and the second big hit symbol display) and the lost symbol are displayed. By configuring to have the symbol status in the stop display (during the display of the first loss symbol and the display of the second loss symbol), the symbol status of the other main game symbol can be changed during the variable display of the main game symbol. By confirming, it is configured to be able to determine whether to forcibly stop with a lost symbol. When the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol is forcibly stopped due to a loss, a command for forcibly stopping the sub control board S is set immediately before the forcible stop. (The effect when the sub-control board S side receives the command will be described later).

  Next, in step 1427, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information (symbol confirmation display instruction command) to the effect that the symbol variation has ended in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit SM. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM by the control command sending process in step 1999). Next, in step 1428, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the first (second) changing flag. Next, in step 1429, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the fluctuation fixed time (the shortest time from the timing when the main game symbol is fixed and stopped until the next fluctuation starts, for example, 0.3 seconds). The variable fixed time timer MP12t-C is set and the timer is started. In the present embodiment, the fixed variation time is only 0.3 seconds, but is not limited to this, and the fixed variation time of the first main game symbol and the fixed variation time of the second main game symbol are different. It may be configured such that the variable fixed time can be different when the gaming state is different, or the variable fixed time related to the big hit symbol and the variable fixed time related to the lost symbol may be different. . Next, in step 1430, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the first (second) fixed fluctuation flag (a flag that can be turned on when the fixed fluctuation time is reached). Next, in step 1431, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stopped symbol of the first (second) main game symbol corresponding to the currently stopped process is the big hit symbol. If Yes in step 1431, in step 1434, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first (second) big hit symbol being displayed as the first (second) symbol status (this process is the first main game symbol) In the case of the process corresponding to, the first big hit symbol display is set as the first symbol status, and in the case where the current process is the process corresponding to the second main game symbol, the second big hit status is set as the second symbol status. Then, the process proceeds to step 1438. On the other hand, if No in step 1431, in step 1435, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first (second) lost symbol display in progress as the first (second) symbol status (this process is the first main symbol). In the case of a process corresponding to a game symbol, the first symbol status is set to the first lost symbol being displayed, and in the case where the current process is a process corresponding to the second main game symbol, the second symbol status is set as the second symbol status. (2) Display of a lost symbol is set), and the flow shifts to step 1438.

  If No in step 1421, in step 1437, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether the first (second) variable fixed flag is on. If Yes in step 1437, the process moves to step 1438. Next, in step 1438, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the timer value of the variable fixed time timer MP12t-C is 0. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1439, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the first (second) fixed fluctuation flag. Next, in step 1440, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the first (second) symbol standby state as the first (second) symbol status. Next, in step 1441, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the stop symbol is a big hit symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1441, in step 1442, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the condition device operation flag (flag for operating the accessory continuous operation device for continuously operating the special electric accessory), and The process moves to the process (the process of step 1500). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1424, step 1437, step 1438 or step 1441, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1500).

  With such a configuration, the fluctuation of the second main game side can start even when the fluctuation of the first main game side occurs, and the fluctuation of the first main game side also occurs when the fluctuation of the second main game side occurs. Can start. That is, when starting the fluctuation of the first main game symbol, the first symbol status is monitored and the fluctuation can be started regardless of the second symbol status. When the fluctuation of the second main game symbol is started, It is configured to monitor the second symbol status and to start the variation regardless of the first symbol status (so-called parallel lottery).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is configured to execute the parallel lottery in which both main game symbols are simultaneously drawn in parallel. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the holding ball of the second main game symbol may be used. If there is, regardless of the existence of the reserved ball of the first main game symbol (even if the winning order is the reservation of the first main game symbol first), priority is given to the reserved digestion of the second main game symbol. It may be configured to execute, or regardless of whether the first main game side is on hold or the second main game side is on hold, execution of the hold completion based on the winning order (order in which the hold occurred). It may be configured as follows.

  Next, FIG. 11 is a first (second) symbol status image diagram in the present embodiment. In the figure, the timing at which the second main game symbol can start to change when the symbol change in which the stop symbol of the first main game symbol becomes the big hit symbol is executed is illustrated. In the figure, time elapses from left to right. As shown in the drawing, when the first main game symbol is in the process of changing the big hit, the first symbol status is “the first symbol is changing”, and the second main game symbol is allowed to start changing, that is, the change is allowed. It is possible to start. Thereafter, when the first main game symbol has the fixed fluctuation time, the first symbol status is “displaying the first big hit symbol”, and the second main game symbol is prohibited from starting to change, that is, newly changed. Can not be started. After that, when the first main game symbol is executing a big hit, the first symbol status is "waiting for the first symbol", and the second main game symbol is prohibited from changing, that is, newly changing. Can not be started. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second main game symbol is changed from the change start permission to the change start prohibition at the timing when the fixed change time starts from the time when the first main game symbol changes. That is, when the second main game symbol is in the variable display, the forcible stop is performed in the lost symbol at the timing when the variation start is permitted and the variation start is prohibited, and thereafter, the variation fixed time is started. In addition, as shown in the figure, when the second main game symbol starts to fluctuate in a situation where the start of fluctuation is permitted, and then is forcibly stopped with a lost symbol, the shortest fluctuation time is 4 ms (one interruption time). ), Which is the same value as the time of the timer interrupt processing cycle. That is, the second main game symbol is not allowed to start a new fluctuation after the timing of 4 ms before the fluctuation fixed time of the first main game symbol starts (when the big hit related to the first main game side ends, the second main game symbol ends). The 2 main game symbols can be newly started to change). In the same manner, when the second main game symbol stops at the big hit symbol, the first main game symbol changes from the change start permission at the timing when the fluctuation fixed time starts from the time when the second main game symbol changes. It is configured to be prohibited from starting. In the present embodiment, it is configured such that the big hit is being executed (the round for the big hit is being executed) immediately after the fluctuation fixed time relating to the big hit symbol on the first main gaming side has elapsed. The present invention is not limited to this. After the variable fixed time relating to the big hit symbol on the first main game side elapses, the big hit start demonstration time is set, and after the big hit start demonstration time elapses, the round related to the big hit may be executed. Good. Further, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation of one of the main game symbols is a big hit fluctuation, the fluctuation fixed time relating to the big hit fluctuation is started, so that the symbol of the main game symbol that becomes the big hit fluctuation is changed. The status is displayed as a big hit symbol, and the other main game symbol is forcibly stopped by losing at the timing of controlling the other symbol, but when the fluctuation of one main game symbol is a big hit variation At the end timing of the fluctuation fixed time relating to the big hit fluctuation {for example, the timing at which the information on the operation of the condition device is confirmed, the timing at which the symbol status changes from displaying the big hit symbol to waiting for the symbol, etc. The game symbols may be forcibly stopped by a loss.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the specific game end determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 in FIG. As described above, the processing in the figure is executed at the start of the fluctuation of the main game symbol. First, in step 1452, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the main game short time counter MP52c (decrement counter) is larger than zero. If Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the CPUMC of the main control board M decrements the counter value of the main game short time counter MP52c by one (decrement). Next, in step 1456, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the main game short time counter MP52c is 0. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1458, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the main game time reduction flag. Next, in step 1460, the CPUMC of the main control board M loads (reads) the value of the test signal extension data buffer ("00000000B" at the timing of executing this processing). Here, the test signal extension data buffer is a buffer that temporarily stores data used in the test signal output process in step 1750, and the final variation of the time-saving game state (100 times as the number of time savings after the end of the big hit) Is given, the total number of symbol fluctuations of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol becomes the 100th time after the end of the big hit, and is sometimes referred to as the time-saving final fluctuation.) Are temporarily stored when the test signal is output in the situation where the test is executed. In the present embodiment, the specific game is terminated by the processing of step 1450 in FIG. 10, that is, the main game probable change flag, the main game time reduction flag, and the auxiliary game time reduction flag are turned off at the start of the fluctuation of the main game symbol. It is configured to obtain. When the processing of step 1450 is executed at the end of the fluctuation of the main game symbol, in the gaming machine configured to execute the parallel lottery as in the present embodiment, for example, the first main time is determined as the time reduction final fluctuation. When the fluctuation of the game symbol has started and the first main game symbol is changing, the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag are on, and the first main game symbol related to the time change final fluctuation is being changed. In the situation where the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag are on, the second main game symbol can start to change (if the time reduction final change is the second main game symbol, the second (The first main game symbol can start to change while the main game symbol changes.) Therefore, the symbol change that started to change at the timing after the start of the change of the main game symbol, which is originally the final time saving change, is non-changeable. Time-saving games Despite should be symbol variation in state, symbol variation that initiated the change in the composed fluctuations since the start of the main game symbol timing time reduction final variation becomes symbol variable in time reduction gaming state. Similarly, the symbol fluctuation which has started to change at the timing after the start of the fluctuation of the main game symbol, which is the final fluctuation (probable final fluctuation) in the probability fluctuation gaming state, becomes the symbol fluctuation in the probability fluctuation gaming state. Therefore, by configuring the processing of step 1450 to be executed at the fluctuation start timing on the main game diagram side as in the present embodiment, the main game having the final time-saving fluctuation in the gaming machine capable of executing the parallel lottery. The symbol fluctuation that has started to fluctuate at the timing after the start of the fluctuation of the symbol becomes the symbol fluctuation in the non-time shortened game state, and the fluctuation of the symbol that starts to fluctuate at the timing after the start of the fluctuation of the main game symbol, which is the final fluctuation. Can be configured to be a symbol variation in the non-probability variation gaming state. However, in such a configuration, the execution timing of the test signal output processing in step 1750 is later than the execution timing of the processing in step 1450, so that the final reduction in the time reduction (or the final variation in the probability variation) is performed. When the processing of step 1750 is executed by the interrupt processing in which the processing of step 1450 is executed at the start timing, the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag (or the main game time reduction flag) are already set at the timing of executing the processing of step 1750. Since the probability change flag is off, the symbol change in the non-time shortened game state (or the non-probability variable game state) despite the symbol change in the time shortened game state (or the probability variable game state). Will be output. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by using the data temporarily stored in the test signal extension data buffer at the timing of outputting to the test apparatus that the final time variation (or the final variation) has started, the time reduction is achieved. Even if the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag (or the main game time change flag) are already turned off at the final change (or probable change final change), a correct test signal without any doubt is output. (The test signal output process will be described later).

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 1462, the CPUMC of the main control board M reads the value of the test signal extension data buffer loaded in step 1460 and the main game time signal bit data (related to the main game time reduction game state). In this example, the logical sum is calculated with "00001010B"). Next, in step 1464, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores the result of the logical sum calculated in step 1462 in the test signal extension data buffer, and proceeds to step 1466. It should be noted that also in the case of No in Step 1452 or Step 1456, the flow shifts to Step 1466.

  Next, in step 1466, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the probability change counter MP51c (decrement counter) is greater than zero. If Yes in step 1466, in step 1468, the CPUMC of the main control board M decrements the counter value of the probability change counter MP51c by one (decrement). Next, in step 1470, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the count value of the probability change counter MP51c is 0. If Yes in step 1470, in step 1472, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the main game probability change flag. Next, in step 1474, the CPUMC of the main control board M loads (reads) the value of the test signal extension data buffer (having the value stored in step 1464). Next, in Step 1476, the CPUMC of the main control board M loads the value of the test signal extension data buffer loaded in Step 1474 and the probability change signal bit data (data relating to the probability variation game state, and in this example, “00000101B”). Calculate the logical sum with Next, in step 1478, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores the result of the logical sum calculated in step 1476 in the test signal extension data buffer, and proceeds to step 1480. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1466 or step 1470, the processing shifts to step 1480.

  Next, in step 1480, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the auxiliary game short time counter MP53c (decrement counter) is larger than 0. In the case of Yes in step 1480, in step 1482, the CPUMC of the main control board M decrements the counter value of the auxiliary game short time counter MP53c by one (decrement). Next, in step 1484, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the auxiliary game short time counter MP53c is 0. If Yes in step 1484, in step 1486, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the auxiliary game time reduction flag. Next, in step 1488, the CPUMC of the main control board M loads (reads) the value of the test signal extension data buffer (having the value stored in step 1478). Next, in step 1490, the CPUMC of the main control board M reads the value of the test signal extension data buffer loaded in step 1488 and the auxiliary game time short signal bit data (data relating to the auxiliary game time reduction game state. , "01110000B"). Next, in step 1492, the CPUMC of the main control board M stores the result of the logical sum calculated in step 1490 in the test signal extension data buffer. Next, in step 1494, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the symbol variation, that is, the auxiliary game time shortening game state final variation (hour reduction final variation) is a symbol variation that results in a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 1494, in step 1496, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information indicating that the external output signal of signal number 4 (the external output signal that is turned on during the extended holiday) is kept on, The process moves to the next process (the process of step 1422). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1480, step 1484, or step 1494, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 1422). With this configuration, in the present embodiment, it is possible to continuously output the signal of the signal number 4, which is the external output signal relating to the extended cottage, even when a big hit occurs due to the final change in the working hours. (Details will be described later).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the remaining probability change count becomes 0 in the probability variation game state, the logical sum of the value of the test signal extension data buffer and the probability change signal bit data is calculated to reduce the main game time. In the state, when the remaining main game time reduction becomes 0, the logical sum of the value of the test signal extension data buffer and the main game time reduction signal bit data is calculated, and the remaining auxiliary game time reduction in the auxiliary game time reduction game state is reduced. When generating a test signal to be output in the final variation and the final variation in time saving, by configuring the logical sum of the value of the test signal extension data buffer and the bit time data of the auxiliary game time reduction signal when the value becomes 0. By using the data temporarily stored in the test signal extension buffer, the main game probable change flag and the main game Also flag and auxiliary game time reduction flag is not turned off, and thus can output a test signal indicating that the symbol variation in the probability variation final variation and time-reduction final variation probability variation gaming state and time reduction gaming state. In the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit, a transition is made to the probability fluctuation game state and the time reduction game state, and 100 times are given as the number of positive changes and 100 times as the main game time reduction. That is, since the number of probable changes and the number of main game time reductions have the same value, the symbol fluctuation in which the main game probability change flag is turned off and the symbol fluctuation in which the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag are turned off are the same. Although it is fluctuating, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the system may be configured to be able to provide 120 times of probable changes and 80 times of main game time (auxiliary game time) after the end of the big hit. In the case of such a configuration, when the processing in the figure is executed at the start of the 80th symbol change after the end of the big hit, the processing of steps 1462 and 1490 is executed, that is, the value of the test signal extension data buffer And the logical sum of the main game time reduction signal bit data and the calculated result is stored as the value of the test signal extension data buffer, and the value of the test signal extension data buffer and the auxiliary game time reduction signal bit data after the calculation are stored. Is calculated, and the calculation result is stored as the value of the test signal extension data buffer. When the process in the same figure is executed at the start of the 120th symbol change after the end of the big hit, the process of step 1476 is executed. In other words, the logical sum of the latest test signal extension data buffer value after calculation and the variable bit signal data is calculated, and the calculation result is used as the test signal. And thus it is configured to store the value of the extension data buffer.

  Next, FIG. 16 is an example of the test signal extension data buffer in the present embodiment. The bits A, B, and C shown in the figure are bits related to the game state of the auxiliary game side, and the bit A is an electric accessory opening extension state signal = second main game start port B opening time of electric accessory B11d. Is a bit related to whether or not the game state is a relatively long time (auxiliary game time shortening game state), and the bit of B is the auxiliary game symbol time reduction state signal = the fluctuation time of the auxiliary game symbol It is a bit related to whether or not the game state is a short-time game state (auxiliary game time reduction game state), and the bit of C is an auxiliary game symbol probable change state signal = a rate at which the symbol stops when the auxiliary game symbol fluctuates. Is a bit related to whether or not is in a relatively high game state (auxiliary game time reduction game state). The bits D and F are bits related to the main game time reduction game state, and the bit D is a game in which the second main game symbol time reduction state signal = the fluctuation time of the second main game symbol is relatively short. A bit related to whether or not the state is the state (main game time shortening game state), and the bit of F is the first main game symbol time reduction state signal = the game in which the fluctuation time of the first main game symbol is relatively short. It is a bit related to whether or not the state (main game time reduction game state). Also, the bits of E and G are bits related to the probability fluctuation game state of the main game side, and the bit of E is the second main game symbol probability change state signal = the rate at which the winning / rejecting lottery result of the second main game symbol is a big hit. Is a bit related to whether or not the game state is a relatively high game state (probability changing game state), and the bit of G is a first main game symbol probability change state signal = the winning / failing lottery result of the first main game symbol is a big hit. This is a bit related to whether or not the game state is a relatively high gaming state (probability varying gaming state). When the bit of the test signal extension data buffer is "1", information indicating that the game state is advantageous to the player is stored. As a specific example, the bit relating to the main game time reduction game state is stored. In the case of, the information that the main game time is shortened is stored, and when the bit of the test signal extension data buffer is "0", it is indicated that the game state is disadvantageous to the player. As a specific example in which the information is stored, in the case of a bit related to the main game time reduction game state, information indicating that the main game is the non-time reduction game state is stored. As described above, the bits of A, B, and C are bits related to the processing of step 1490, the bits of D and F are bits related to the processing of step 1462, and the bits of E and G are the bits of step 1476. This is a bit related to the processing, and in the case of a specific game (the number of times of probability change and the number of time savings is 100) in the specific game of the present embodiment, if it is the fluctuation display of the 100th main game symbol counted after the end of the special game, step 1462 By performing three calculations in step 1476 and step 1490, "01111111B" is generated as test signal extension data used to generate a test signal with the final variation of the time saved, By generating a test signal using the signal extension data, the final variation in time savings is reduced in time. That fact (or probability variation final variation that is symbol variation in the probability change game condition) can be output as a test signal.

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1514, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off specific game flags (main game probability change flag, main game time reduction flag, and auxiliary game time reduction flag). Next, in step 1516, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the counter value of the probability change counter MP51c to zero. Next, in step 1517, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the counter value of the main game short time counter MP52c to zero. Next, in step 1518, the counter value of the auxiliary game time reduction counter MP53c is cleared to zero. Next, in step 1520, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the special game transfer permission flag. Next, in step 1522, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the condition device operation flag. Next, in step 1524, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information indicating that the external output signal of signal number 4 (the external output signal that is turned on during the extended holiday) is kept on, and the next processing ( The process proceeds to step 1600). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1502, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1600).

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 1600 in FIG. First, in step 1602, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game transfer permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1602, in steps 1604 and 1606, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game shift permission flag and turns on the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1607, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an initial value (1 in this example) to a round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1608, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets information for starting a special game (special game start display instruction command) in the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub-main control unit side. (Sent to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999), and the flow proceeds to step 1612.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1602, in step 1610, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. Then, in the case of Yes at step 1610, the process moves to step 1612. If No in step 1610, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines that the permission for the special game has not been granted, and shifts to the next process (the process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1612, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the round continuation flag is off, in other words, whether or not it is immediately before the start of each round. If Yes in step 1612, that is, immediately before the start of each round, first, in step 1614, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an opening pattern relating to the round to be executed. Next, in step 1616, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c to zero. Next, in step 1618, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1620, the CPUMC of the main control board M drives the special winning opening electric accessory C11d of the special winning opening C10 to open the special winning opening C10, and the special game timer MP34t (especially the opening time timer). , A predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1622. On the other hand, if No in step 1612, that is, if the special winning opening C10 is being opened, the flow shifts to step 1622 without performing the processing of steps 1614 to 1620.

  Next, in step 1622, the CPUMC of the main control board M transmits a game state command (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) relating to the current special game to the sub main control unit SM. In the command transmission buffer MT10 (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Next, in step 1624, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the counter value of the winning ball counter MP33c and determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of winning balls has been found in the special winning opening C10 in the round. judge. In the case of Yes at step 1624, the process moves to step 1628. On the other hand, in the case of No in Step 1624, in Step 1626, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the special game timer MP34t (especially, the opening time timer) to determine a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) related to opening the special winning opening. Is determined. Also in the case of Yes in step 1626, the process moves to step 1628. If the determination in step 1626 is No, the process moves to the next process (the process in step 1997).

  Next, in step 1628, the CPUMC of the main control board M stops driving the special winning opening electric winning combination C11d of the special winning opening C10 and closes the special winning opening C10. Next, in step 1630, the CPUMC of the main control board M resets the special game timer MP34t (particularly the open time timer). Next, in step 1632, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the round continuation flag. Next, in step 1633, the CPUMC of the main control board M adds 1 to the counter value of the round number counter (not shown). Next, in step 1634, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the last round has been completed (for example, whether or not the counter value of the round number counter (not shown) has exceeded the maximum number of rounds). . If Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the special game execution flag. Next, in step 1637, the CPUMC of the main control board M maintains the on of the external output signal of signal number 4 (the external output signal that is turned on during the extended holiday) set in step 1496 or step 1524. Clear information. In addition, even if the information is cleared in the present process, if the state shifts to the auxiliary game time reduction game state after the end of the big hit (when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is turned on), the ON signal of the signal number 4 is output. In order to satisfy the output condition, the output of the ON signal of signal number 4 is maintained. Next, in step 1638, the CPUMC of the main control board M sends information (special game end display instruction command) to the effect that the special game is to end to the command transmission buffer MT10 for transmitting to the sub main control unit SM side. Set (transmitted to the sub-main control unit SM in the control command transmission process of step 1999). Then, in step 1650, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1700). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1634, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1700).

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the game state determination processing after the end of the special game, according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1652, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game probability change flag. Next, in step 1654, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the main game time reduction flag. Next, in step 1656, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the auxiliary game time reduction flag. Next, in step 1658, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined number of times (100 times in this example) in the probability change counter MP51c. Next, in step 1660, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined number of times (100 times in this example) to the main game short time counter MP52c. Next, in step 1662, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a predetermined number of times (100 in this example) in the auxiliary game time count counter MP53c, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1700). As described above, in the present embodiment, after the end of the special game, regardless of the type of the big hit symbol, it is configured to shift to the probability fluctuation game state and the time shortening game state after the big hit end, but it is not limited thereto. Which of the main game symbols is to start the big hit after the big hit is ended (for example, 4A or 7A), and the main game symbol to start the big hit is the first main game symbol , The second main game symbol, the probability winning game state and the non-time shortening game state, the non-probability variation game state and the time shortening game state, You may comprise so that it may shift to a probability fluctuation game state and a non-time shortening game state. In addition, the number of probable changes and the number of reductions in time (the number of reductions in the main game and the number of reductions in the auxiliary game are the same and may be collectively referred to as the number of reductions in the number of reductions) are the same, but are not limited thereto. Instead, in the case of shifting to the probability fluctuation game state and the time reduction game state after the end of the big hit, the number of probable changes may be set to 120 and the number of times reduced to 100, or the number of probable changes may be set to 80 and the number of reduced times It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the number of probable changes and the number of time savings can be different, such as 100. In addition, when the game shifts to the probability fluctuation game state after the end of the big hit, the probability fluctuation game state does not end depending on the number of times the main game symbol changes, that is, the probability fluctuation game state is continued until the next big hit win. (It may be configured not to execute the subtraction process of the number-of-probability-change counter due to the fluctuation of the main game symbol, or to set, for example, 65535 times as the value substantially continuing to the winning of the next big hit in the probability-change number counter. May be used).

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the error management process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in step 1702, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether an error condition has been satisfied. Here, examples of errors that can occur in the present embodiment include a radio wave sensor error, a magnetic sensor error, a disconnection short-circuit power supply error, a communication line error, an abnormal sensor detection, and the like. Will be described later with reference to FIG. In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the CPUMC of the main control board M issues a command indicating that an error has occurred and error type information (a command to the sub control board S side, and the sub control board S To perform error notification based on the type of error that has occurred). Next, in step 1706, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether the error satisfying the error occurrence condition is a recoverable error. In the case of Yes in step 1706, in step 1708, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines an error canceling condition (for example, in the case of a radio wave error, the power is turned off → on and no illegal radio wave is detected). It is determined whether the condition is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 1708, in step 1710, the CPUMC of the main control board M issues a command related to information indicating that the error that has occurred has been cleared (command to the sub-control board S side, The notification about the occurrence of the error executed on the sub-control board S side is terminated by the reception of the board S), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1997). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1702 or step 1708, the process proceeds to the next process. If No in step 1706, in other words, if the error that satisfies the error occurrence condition is an unrecoverable error, in step 1712, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs error processing based on the error that is occurring. And waits for the power to be turned off.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the test signal output process according to the subroutine of step 1750 in FIG. First, in step 1752, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets an address of a test signal data table relating to a game state. Next, in step 1754, the CPUMC of the main control board M creates output data relating to the game state based on the current game state. Next, in step 1756, the CPUMC of the main control board M calculates the logical sum of the output data created in step 1754 and the contents of the test signal extension data buffer. In the present embodiment, when the main game time is not reduced to the final game time, the content of the test signal extension data buffer is “00000000B”, while the symbol related to the final change in the time reduced game state is “000000B”. During the fluctuation, the content of the test signal extension data buffer is “01111111B”. With this configuration, as described above, the main game time reduction flag and the auxiliary game time reduction flag (or the main game probability change flag) are turned off in the final time change, and the output data using the test signal data table is used. Even when "00000000B" is used as output data in the generation, the data is output at the same time as the on-output of the fluctuating signal of the first (second) main game symbol generated as other data in step 1762. It is configured to be able to output an appropriate test signal as symbol fluctuation in the time-saving gaming state. Here, the lower part of the figure is a test signal output image diagram. A to G in the figure correspond to the bits described above with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the fluctuation of the second main game symbol starts as the 99th symbol fluctuation after the end of the special game, and thereafter, at the timing (1) in the figure, the 100th fluctuation from the end of the special game. The fluctuation of the first main game symbol starts as the symbol fluctuation, that is, the specific game final fluctuation (time reduction final fluctuation, probable fluctuation final fluctuation), and the specific game flags (main game probable fluctuation flag, main game time reduction flag, auxiliary game time reduction flag) are changed. Turn off. Thereafter, at the timing of (2) in the drawing, the timing at which the on-output of the fluctuating signal of the first (second) main game symbol generated as the other data is delayed from the timing of (1) in the drawing. At timing｝, output data (data corresponding to a specific game state) related to the game state corresponding to the 100th symbol change after the end of the special game is output as a test signal. Next, in step 1758, the CPUMC of the main control board M clears the content of the test signal extension data buffer to zero (by executing this process, the content of the test signal extension data buffer becomes "00000000B" except for the final time-saving variation. Becomes). Next, in step 1760, the CPUMC of the main control board M creates and saves output data calculated as output data relating to the game state. Next, in step 1762, the CPUMC of the main control board M outputs the output data of the other test signal / the output data of the test signal other than the test signal of the gaming state, for example, the first (second) main game symbol. , Information on the operation of the special electric accessory (executing information on the jackpot, etc.), information on the change of the auxiliary game symbol, and the auxiliary game electric accessory (in this example, the second main game start port B electric ｝ Such as information on the operation of the object B11d) is created and evacuated. Next, in step 1764, the CPUMC of the main control board M restores the saved output data and outputs it to the test signal output port, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1800). Here, the right part of the figure is an example of a test signal data table. In the process of step 1752, a process of reading the storage area of the number of target data in the test signal data table is executed. The process of step 1752 will be described in detail using an example of the test signal data table. (1) The data is stored in an address obtained by combining the lower address data and the upper address data (for example, fixed at “F0H”) in the storage area. The data is compared with the determination value data. (2) When the comparison results match, the logical sum of the signal bit data and the output data is calculated. The above processes (1) and (2) are repeatedly executed by the number of target data. Since “05H” = “00000101B”, “0AH” = “00001010B”, and “05H” = “01110000B” described in the item of “data” in the same table, the above-described test signal extension data buffer The same data as described will be generated according to the game state.

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the external signal output process according to the subroutine of step 1800 in FIG. First, in step 1802, the CPUMC of the main control board M checks the state of the gaming machine. Next, in step 1804, the CPUMC of the main control board M outputs a signal indicating the state of the gaming machine to the hall computer HC via the external relay terminal plate G based on the confirmed state of the gaming machine. (The process of step 1999). The data set as the external output data in the external signal output processing is information indicating whether a gaming state advantageous to the player has occurred and whether the gaming state is controlled to the advantageous gaming state, that is, a special gaming state or a specific gaming state. The output setting is performed only for information on whether or not the state is controlled. The details of the information of the output signal will be described later. However, the information on the symbol variation, the information on the security, and the information on the winning (prize ball) are stored in step 1400 (main game symbol display control processing) and step 1700 (error In sub-modules such as the management process) and step 1997 (prize ball payout control process), they are set as output information as needed.

(External relay terminal plate)
Here, the signal output via the external relay terminal plate G according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the lower part of the figure (image diagram of signal output). The external relay terminal plate G has a plurality of external connection terminals as output terminal portions to which various cable connectors are connected. For example, information on prize ball payout, information on winning and symbol stop, current game state (normal game state, A terminal for outputting game state information for outputting information relating to a specific game state, a special game state, etc., and error information for outputting various error information detected by an opening detection sensor when the door is open. Output terminals and the like are provided. The plurality of output terminals are connected to the hall computer HC by a cable harness so that information can be output from the plurality of output terminals to the hall computer HC. Here, in the present embodiment, one output terminal is assigned as a terminal for outputting payout-related information, which is information output from the prize ball payout control board KH and is a plurality of types of information. Output terminals other than the one output terminal are terminals for outputting signals output from the main control board M. For example, a jackpot output terminal for outputting a signal during a jackpot at the time of a jackpot (a plurality of jacks are provided depending on the type of jackpot) ), A door opening output terminal that outputs a signal while the door D18 is open, a starting port winning output terminal that outputs a signal when the starting port is won, and a lack of balls in the winning ball tank KT. Output of game-related information that is important information for game arcade operators, such as an output terminal when the ball runs out to output an interval signal, an output terminal for the number of special symbols determined to output a signal when the special symbol is stopped, etc. Terminal. That is, the output terminal of the payout-related information is set as one output terminal, so that the output terminal of the important game-related information can be prevented from being depleted.

  In the present embodiment, the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH are configured to transmit game-related information and payout-related information to the external relay terminal board G in the form of one-way serial transmission. I have. That is, no transmission line is provided from the external relay terminal board G to the main control board M and the winning ball payout control board KH (the same applies to the information transmission from the external relay terminal board G to the hall computer HC).

  Here, an outline of the information transmission method of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described. First, the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH and the external relay terminal board G, and the external relay terminal board G and the hall computer HC are connected by a cable harness. On the other hand, as shown in this example, since the external relay terminal plate G is constituted by a communication relay (so-called relay), the main control board M, the prize ball payout control board KH, and the hall computer HC are always conductive. Not necessarily. That is, an electrical signal (a binary logic signal whose voltage is Hi level / Low level) input from the main control board M and the award ball payout control board KH to the input terminal of the external relay terminal board G is transmitted to the relay. After being temporarily replaced by a physical signal (a binary logic signal whose switch state is on / off) by the unit, the signal is output from the output terminal of the external relay terminal plate G to the hall computer HC. More specifically, the external relay terminal board G has a plurality of relay coils G1 and contact points G2 corresponding to the respective input / output terminals. When the relay coil G1 is excited based on the pulse signal input to the input terminal, a magnetic force is generated, and the contact portion G2 is closed by the generated magnetic force, so that the output terminal is electrically connected to the hall computer HC. When the relay coil G1 is degaussed, the contact portion G2 returns to the open state, so that the output terminal and the hall computer HC do not conduct. Therefore, on the side of the hall computer HC, it is possible to obtain a pulse signal substantially the same as the pulse signal input to the input terminal of the external relay terminal plate G by detecting the conduction period. With such a configuration, one-way communication from the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH to the hall computer HC can be physically secured, and the main control board M and the This prevents a gossip act of illegally operating the winning ball payout control board KH (so-called remote control goto). In the present example, a one-way communication to the hall computer HC is enabled by a mechanism using a relay coil while preventing a goto action. However, the present invention is not limited to this. One-way communication is also possible with a photosensor having a light receiving unit (for example, light from a light emitting unit connected to the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH is received by a light sensor connected to the hall computer HC). It is supplemented that the signal can be received by reading in the section.

  However, since the signal is temporarily replaced with a physical signal (the switch state is on / off), the main control board M and the prize ball payout control board KH send a signal from the external relay terminal board G to the hall computer HC. It is difficult to transmit complicated information using the input / output terminal, and one type of information is transmitted using the one input / output terminal (for example, if the output terminal for the special symbol determination frequency, It is customary to make it possible to transmit only the information indicating that "one change of the special symbol has ended".

  Next, a transmission signal to the external relay terminal plate in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the specific contents of the signal shown in this example (numerical values, notification mode, measures at the time of duplication, etc.) are merely examples, and that they can be changed without significantly departing from the concept of this example. Keep it.

Signal number: 1
Signal type: Symbol variation system Outline of signal: Signal indicating that the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol has stopped 1 Signal configuration: [Output timing] Stop of the first main game symbol or the second main game symbol Timing [output period] ON → OFF for 128 ms Overlap of output period: [Possibility of overlap] Yes [Treatment in case of overlap] The next signal turns ON 128 ms after ON → OFF Remarks: First main An ON signal is output without discriminating whether the change is a game symbol or a second main game symbol. As described above, when the main game symbol is stopped during the output of the ON signal, the output of the next ON signal is performed 128 ms after the output of the ON signal during the output is completed (elapse of 128 ms). Configured to get started. Specifically, (1) an ON signal is output when the first main game symbol is stopped, and when the second main game symbol is stopped during the output period of the ON signal, the ON signal being output is output. After a lapse of 128 ms from the end of the output, an ON signal for stopping the second main game symbol is output. (2) An ON signal is output due to the stop of the second main game symbol, and during the output period of the ON signal. When the first main game symbol is stopped, an ON signal related to the stop of the first main game symbol is output 128 ms after the output of the output ON signal ends. In order to simplify the processing of (1) or (2), the timer storage area, which is decremented and updated for each interrupt, is composed of 1 byte data in order to control the signal output period of signal number 1. (A) It is controlled whether or not to turn on data (ON at 1) depending on whether or not the sixth bit from the lower bit is on. (A) The remaining bits are the seventh and eighth bits from the lower bit. The number of ON outputs is managed (“01000000B” is added to the timer storage area each time the fluctuation display of the main game symbol stops). Note that a signal indicating that the first main game symbol has stopped and a signal indicating that the second main game symbol has stopped may be provided as different signals.

Remarks: First main game start port A10, second main game start port AB10-1 or second main game start port BB10- Two ON signal is output without distinguishing whether it has entered the special start-up hole Les. It should be noted that a signal relating to the ball entering the first main game starting port A10, a signal relating to the ball entering the second main game starting port AB10-1, and a signal relating to the ball entering the second main game starting port BB10-2. Such a signal may be separately provided.

Signal number: 3
Signal type: Big hit signal Outline of signal: Signal indicating that special game is being executed Signal 1 Signal configuration: [Output timing] Special game execution start timing [Output period] Output to be output until special game execution end timing Repetition of period: [Possibility of duplication] None Remarks: There is no duplication of the same signal, but other signals (big hit signal such as signal number 3 mentioned above, security signal such as signal number 6 etc.) (Note that signals other than signal number 3 in which the possibility of duplication is described as "none" may also overlap with other signals)

Signal number: 4
Signal type: Big hit signal Outline of signal: A signal that indicates that the special game is being executed or the game state is in the auxiliary game time reduction game state (that is, a state advantageous to the player). Timing] Execution start timing of special game [Output period] (1) During execution of special game, (2) auxiliary game time reduction flag on, (3) fluctuation in which auxiliary game time reduction flag is turned off (time fluctuation final fluctuation) In the case of winning, the output period in which any one of the above (1) to (3) is satisfied from the start of the change related to the change to the end of the fixed change time is turned on. Possibility] None Remarks: If the variation of the auxiliary game time reduction flag is turned off at the start of the fluctuation of the main game symbol, that is, if the final variation of the time reduction is a big hit variation, the ON signal is kept on until the end of the fixed variation of the symbol variation Out While continuing, when the time-shortening final variation is losing variation turned off from ON when variation commencement of the symbol variation. By transmitting the ON of the signal of signal number 3 to an external device such as the hall computer HC during the period in which the signal of signal number 4 is being output, the external device changes to a new special game state in the specific game state. That is, it recognizes that the extended play (acquisition of a special game without ending the advantageous game state). Therefore, as in the present embodiment, when the auxiliary game time reduction flag is changed from ON to OFF (the last change in the specific game state), if a big hit occurs, the signal of signal number 4 is output from the start of the change to the end of the change. By continuing to do so, the signal number 4 can be maintained on until the timing when the game is controlled to the special game state thereafter, so that even if the result of the final change of the specific game state is a big hit, Thus, it is possible to accurately count a series of extended holiday periods without treating them as new extended holiday periods. Further, in the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the period controlled to the auxiliary game time reduction game state is treated as the extended game period. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability variation game state and the main game time reduction game are It is also possible to appropriately change the state so that the state is counted as the extended period. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that the on signal is output until the end of the fixed variation of the loss variation even when the final variation of the time saving is the variation of the loss. With such a configuration, the output period of the external terminal output signal can be unified between the case where the final reduction of the time saving is a big hit variation and the case where the final variation of the time saving is a loss variation. When the output of the ON signal ends at the time, it is possible to prevent a situation in which it is possible to determine that the final fluctuation in the time reduction is a loss fluctuation. In the case where the signal of signal number 4 is extended when the final reduction of the working hours is the loss variation, in the control processing during the stop display of the main game symbol, the data for extension is used when the fixed variation time has elapsed. In such a case, there is a risk that the game will be turned off by the other symbol that has started to fluctuate after the end of the working hours. For example, the first main game and the second main game Control to turn on a flag for extension to a different storage area.

The configuration related to the output of signal number 4 may be configured as follows.
(1) The ON information of signal number 4 is set when the "hit information 2 output flag" is ON or the auxiliary game time reduction game state (the auxiliary game time reduction flag is ON).
(2) The "hit information 2 output flag" is turned on (step 1496) when the final change in the specific game state (in this example, the 100th symbol change after the end of the big hit, which is the final time saving change) becomes a big hit, and At the start of a big hit (step 1524).
(3) The "hit information 2 output flag" is turned off at the end of the big hit.
With this configuration, even if a big hit occurs due to the final change of the working hours, any condition for setting the ON information of the signal number 4 is satisfied before and after the big hit. The ON signal of No. 4 is continuously output, and in the case of a big hit due to the final fluctuation of the working hours, the output mode of the external output signal indicating that the extended cottage is not interrupted before and after the big hit may be set. it can. As an example, from the initial hit to the end of the consecutive play, the winning in the non-probability changing gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state (normal gaming state) is a big hit (first hit) → a big hit related to the first hit (hit information 2) Output flag ON) → During specific game (auxiliary game time reduction flag ON) → Win a big hit at specific game final fluctuation (hit information 2 output flag ON) → During big hit (hit information 2 output flag ON) → During specific game (auxiliary game time reduction flag ON) → The final fluctuation of the specific game is lost (the output of the ON signal is terminated because the condition for setting the ON information of the signal number 4 is not satisfied). As described above, during the extended holiday, since either the hit information 2 output flag or the auxiliary game time reduction flag is on, the ON signal of the signal number 4 is continuously output. In the process relating to the main game newly started to fluctuate after the end of the specific game state, since the counter value of the counter relating to the specific game (the auxiliary game time counter, etc.) is 0, the hit information 2 output flag is turned on. The process of turning off the hit information 2 output flag is performed within the control of the special game, so the hit information output flag is turned off regardless of how many times the other symbol starts changing during the hit change. Never. In addition, an appropriate determination process is provided depending on which one of the probability variation game state, the main game time reduction game state, and the auxiliary game time reduction game state is to be treated as a consecutive game while maintaining the winning of a big hit while maintaining the game state. The position (order) may be changed.

Measures] When the detection of the abnormal sensor is duplicated, the next signal is turned on 500 ms after being turned on → off.

  Next, control processing executed on the sub-main control unit SM side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 24 is a main flowchart of the sub-control board S side (particularly, the sub-main control unit SM side) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process in FIG. 7A is a process on the sub-main control unit SM side that is executed after resetting when the power to the gaming machine is turned on or the like. That is, at the time of turning on the power to the gaming machine, in step 2002, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an initial process based on information received from the main side (main control board M side) (for example, RAM clear information). → When the sub-side RAM is initialized, when various information commands are received → The effect-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the sub-side RAM). Next, in step 2003, the CPU SC of the sub-control board S restores the number of holds (for example, the circuit diagram holding counter value) based on the information received from the main side (main control board M side). Note that the effect or the like being executed is not restored, and the “under preparation” screen is displayed until the start of the next change. After that, the processing shifts to a loop processing for repeatedly executing (b) which is a repetition processing routine of the sub main control unit SM. Here, when (b) is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 18B, first, in step 2050, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a symbol standby display control process described later. . Next, in step 2100, the CPU SC of the sub-control board S executes a hold information management process described later. Next, in step 2200, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a decorative symbol display content determination process described later. Next, in step 2300, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a first decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2350, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a second decorative symbol display control process described later. Next, in step 2400, the CPU SC of the sub-control board S executes a special game-related display control process described later. Next, in step 2500, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a background effect control process described later. Next, in step 3300, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the accessory drive control process described later. Next, in step 2999, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the display command transmission control process (transmits the command set in these series of subroutines to the sub-sub-control unit SS side), and ends the repetition process routine. I do.

  As described above, the sub-main control unit SM adopts a mode in which the sub-main side routine (steps 2050 to 2999) is loop-processed after reset. The process of FIG. 3C is an interrupt process of the sub-main control unit SM, and the signal from the STB signal line on the main control board M is connected to one terminal of the CPU of the sub-main control unit SM (in this example, , NMI terminal). That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub main control unit SM (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 2004, the CPU SC of the sub control board S sets the command input port from the main control board M side. (Input port of the data signal line described above) is checked. Then, in step 2006, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S temporarily stores the command transmitted from the main control board M in the RAM of the sub-main control unit SM based on the confirmation result, and immediately before the interrupt processing, The process returns to the executed process.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the symbol standby display control process according to the subroutine of step 2050 in FIG. 24 in the present embodiment. First, in step 2052, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the standby preparation flag (a flag that can be turned on when both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are stopped). It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2052, in step 2054, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S newly stops display of both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol (the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed). It is determined whether or not the second decorative symbol is newly stopped and displayed in the situation, or the first decorative symbol is newly stopped and displayed in the situation where the second decorative symbol is stopped and displayed). judge. In the case of Yes in step 2054, in step 2056, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the standby preparation measurement timer SM28t (increment timer, in which both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are stopped). Timer to measure the time elapsed since the start of the process. Next, in step 2058, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the standby preparation flag, and proceeds to step 2060. It should be noted that also in the case of No in Step 2052, the process proceeds to Step 2060.

  Next, in step 2060, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the standby preparation measurement timer SM28t, and the timer value is set to the standby execution value (decorative symbols stopped and displayed in the main area are set to the standby state). It is a timer value, and in this example, it is determined whether or not the time has exceeded 20 seconds. If Yes in step 2060, in step 2062, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the decorative symbol stopped and displayed in the main area in a standby state. The standby state ends when any one of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol starts changing display. Here, the right part of the figure is a decorative symbol display area image diagram. In the present embodiment, in the display area SG10 of the effect display device SG, a first decorative symbol that is a decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol and a second decorative symbol that is a decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol. The symbols are displayed so as to be simultaneously displayed in a variable manner, and one of them is displayed in the main area and the other is displayed in the sub area. The main area is configured so that the area that can be displayed is larger than the sub area. Further, in the present embodiment, the decorative symbols displayed in the main area are displayed with pictures and numbers, and the decorative symbols displayed in the sub areas are displayed only with numbers (the numbers are , The first decorative symbol is an arithmetic numeral, and the second decorative symbol is a Chinese numeral). Also, as illustrated in the figure, under the situation where the first decorative symbol is displayed by a pattern and a number in the main area, both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are stopped and displayed. After 20 seconds have elapsed, the display of the first decorative symbol in the main area is configured to display only the symbol. This display of only the pattern is called a standby state. Note that the main area and the sub area may be provided in the same liquid crystal (for example, in the display area SG10 of the effect display device SG) or may be provided in separate devices. In addition, as a specific example provided in separate devices, for example, an effect display device A and an effect display device B are provided as effect display devices, and the effect display device A has a main area. The display area of the effect display device B may be smaller than the size of the display area of the effect display device A in such a case. Good. In addition, the number of effect display devices and the number of display regions (main region, sub-region, etc.) for decorative patterns may be three or more (the first region, the second region, the third region are provided).

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in step 2064, the CPU SC of the sub control board S resets and stops the standby preparation measurement timer SM28t. Next, in step 2066, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the standby preparation flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2100). It should be noted that also in the case of No in Step 2054 or Step 2060, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in Step 2100).

  Next, FIG. 26 is an image diagram of a decorative symbol display mode in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the decorative pattern displayed in the main area is displayed by a pattern and a number, and the decorative pattern displayed in the sub area is configured to be displayed only by a number. Numerals in the symbols are arithmetic numerals, and numerals in the second decorative symbols are Chinese numerals. In addition, the number of types of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is four each. In addition, although the details will be described later, the display mode of the decorative symbol in the case where the trigger hold which is the hold related to the execution of the pre-reading effect exists is the first sub-region symbol table or the second sub-region symbol table. , That is, the display mode of the first decorative symbol and the display mode of the second decorative symbol in the sub-region, and the display mode of the first decorative symbol when a trigger hold exists. And the display form of the second decorative symbol is the same.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the hold information management process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S obtains a command set relating to the occurrence of a new hold from the main control board M side (information capable of identifying the number of holds related to the first main game and the second main game, newly acquiring It is determined whether or not the information relating to the obtained random number value and the information used for the preliminary determination are received. In the case of Yes in step 2102, in step 2104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the diagram retention counter (in this example, up to four for the first main game and up to four for the second main game). 1 ". Next, in step 2106, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S temporarily stores the new pending / unsuccessful result and the command related to the stop symbol information transmitted from the main control board M side. Next, in step 2122, the CPUSC of the sub control board S temporarily stores the hold information (particularly, the change mode group, the change mode random number separation information, etc.) based on the hold generation command transmitted from the main control board M side. I do. If the main control board M does not transmit information on the success / failure result, the stop symbol, the variation mode group, and the variation mode random number delimiter information, the information is held in step 2120 or 2122. It is not temporarily stored in the temporary storage area. Next, in step 2124, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a hold of the first main game side. If Yes in step 2124, in step 2550, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a first main game winning prefetch determination process described later, and proceeds to step 2118. On the other hand, if No in step 2124, in other words, if the new hold is a hold on the second main game side, in step 2600, the CPUSC of the sub control board S reads a second main game winning prefetch, which will be described later. The determination process is performed, and the process proceeds to Step 2118.

  In addition, as a configuration relating to a command relating to a new hold generation, the main control board M side sets the upper (4 bits) as the number of holds of the first main game side and the lower (4 bits) as the number of holds of the second main game side. The first main game is compared with the number-of-reserves information which is collectively transmitted to the board S side and stored on the sub-control board S side and the received number of reservations of the first main game side and the second main game side. It may be configured to determine that a new hold has occurred when there is a change in the number of holds between the number of holds on the side and the number of holds on the second main game side. Further, the information on the number of holds received on the sub-control board S side is compared with the information on the number of holds stored on the sub-control board S side, and the number of hold on the first main game side and the number of hold on the second main game side are compared. When the number of holds changes by 2 or more in total with the number of holds, the prefetch effect that is being executed may be cancelled, or a prefetch lottery may be performed for the hold related to the command that triggered the change of 2 or more. It may be configured not to perform (because it is impossible to determine whether information not stored as a random number in the sub-control board S is a hit or whether it is a super reach). In such a configuration, if a random number value or pre-read information is received without receiving the number of reserved balls due to a command communication failure or the like, it is stored in a temporary evacuation storage area, and the next reserved It may be configured to store when a command regarding occurrence is normally received. If the amount of change in the number of holds is equal to or greater than 1 for each of the number of holds on the first main game side and the number of holds on the second main game side, the command regarding the occurrence of the hold received this time (and the previous time) is: Since it is not possible to determine which one of the hold of the first main game side and the hold of the second main game side relates to the hold, in such a case, the hold related to the command regarding the hold occurrence received this time (and the previous time) is given. May be configured not to execute the prefetch lottery. Dummy data may also be stored for random number information relating to each of the hold related to the command relating to the hold occurrence received this time and last time. If the dummy data is stored in any of the holds in the hold, the look-ahead lottery is not executed for the hold occurring in the shift, and all the holds in which the dummy data is stored have been exhausted. A prefetch lottery may be configured to be executed for a hold that occurs later.

  Also, in the case of No in step 2102, in step 2111, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a symbol variation display start instruction command has been received from the main game side. If Yes in step 2111, in step 2112, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S subtracts “1” from the circuit diagram holding counter. Next, in step 2128, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S deletes the hold information (particularly the pass / fail result, the stop symbol information, the change mode group, and the change mode random number delimiter information) related to the symbol change, and the remaining hold information. Shift information. Next, in step 2130, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the currently consumed hold is a hold relating to the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 2130, in step 2134, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S moves the main route (the area on the hold passage route where the hold display variably displayed in the main area passes, which will be described later in detail). A command to execute the passing hold display (the effect that allows the player to recognize that the hold has been used) is set, and the flow shifts to step 2138. On the other hand, if No in step 2130, in step 2132, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are not in the standby state. In the case of Yes in step 2132, in step 2136, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S passes through the sub route (the area on the holding passage route where the suspended display variably displayed in the sub area passes, the details of which will be described later). Then, the command for executing the hold-out display is set, and the flow shifts to step 2138. If the answer is No in Step 2132, the process proceeds to Step 2134. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first main game side is the hold-out display, or if the hold is used up in the standby state, the hold-up display is executed on the main route, and the standby state is displayed. If the reservation on the second main game side is exhausted in a situation other than the above, the reservation release display is executed in the sub route.

  Next, in step 2138, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not trigger suspension exists in suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2138, in step 3050, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a later-described change display control process, and proceeds to step 2116. On the other hand, if No in step 2138, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S proceeds to step 2116 without executing the processing of step 3050. Next, in step 2116, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the symbol content determination permission flag, and proceeds to step 2118. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2111, the processing shifts to step 2118.

  Next, in step 2118, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the same number of reserved images on the effect display device SG (especially, the first reserved display unit SG12 and the second reserved display unit SG13) as the value of the circuit diagram pending counter value. The display is lit, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2200).

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the hold change display control processing according to the subroutine of step 3050 in FIG. 27 in the present embodiment. First, in step 3052, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the hold-out is a hold-out through the first main route after the trigger hold-up has occurred. In the case of Yes in step 3052, in step 3054, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the trigger hold is a hold with a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 3054, in step 3056, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the hold change scenario (holding of the trigger hold (A scenario for determining how and when the display mode changes).

  Here, in the lower part of the figure, a table for a big hit and a table for a loss are shown as a pending change scenario determination table. As shown in the figure, the hold change scenario relates to the number of holds at the time of trigger hold occurrence (the number of holds that will be consumed before the trigger hold at the time when the trigger hold occurs) and the trigger hold. It is determined based on the result of the symbol change. Also, “1 before change” is the hold display mode immediately before the trigger hold is exhausted, and the jackpot expectation degree of the hold display mode of “1 before change” (when the trigger hold becomes the big hit) The ratio of the big hit to the total of the losing and the losing) is “rainbow → red → blue” in descending order. In addition, the hold display mode is configured to be able to change for each symbol change, but as the trigger hold is approaching, the hold display mode does not change, or changes to a display mode with a high expectation of a big hit. It is configured to go. In other words, it is configured not to change to the hold display mode having a low jackpot expectation as the trigger hold is almost exhausted, and not to impair the player's expectation of the trigger hold.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in step 3058, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the display color of the hold passage route by referring to the hold hit route display color determination table for big hits, and performs the next process (step 2116). Processing). If No in step 3054, in step 3060, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the suspension change scenario based on the number of suspensions at the time of trigger suspension occurrence with reference to the suspension change scenario determination table for loss. Next, in step 3062, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the display color of the suspension passage route with reference to the suspension passage route display color determination table for losing, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2116). Transition. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 3052, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2116).

  Here, in the lower part of the figure, a table for a big hit and a table for a losing are shown as the reserved passage route display color determination tables. As shown in the figure, the display color of the hold passage route is determined based on the result of the symbol change related to the trigger hold. The big hit expectation degree of the hold passage route display color (the ratio of the big hit to the sum of the case where the trigger hold is a big hit and the case where the big hit is lost) is “rainbow color → red → blue → no change” It has become. Note that the hold passage route is configured to be determined only by the first hold digestion timing after the occurrence of the trigger hold, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured to be able to change every time the trigger hold is exhausted. You may. In the case of such a configuration, it is preferable that the display mode is not changed to a display mode having a low big hit expectation as the trigger hold is approached as in the above-described change of the hold display mode (hold change effect). . Regarding the change of the display mode of the hold display mode and the hold passage route display color, it is not specifically shown at which timing in the symbol change, but at the start of the symbol change, a notice effect during the symbol change is given. The display timing may be changed at various timings in accordance with the effect to be executed, such as execution timing, when a hold occurs, when the game is held, and the like, so that the player can always change the display mode. It is possible to have a sense of expectation that the hold display mode or the hold passage route display color changes to a display mode with a high jackpot expectation. In this embodiment, the hold pass route display color, which is the display color of the hold pass route SG17, indicates the jackpot expectation degree of the trigger hold. The display color of the hold passage route is more likely to change than the display color of the hold passage route, or the display color of the hold passage route is likely to be a display color with a high expectation of big hits. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the case of having a display mode of the reserved digestion transmission image, and configured to indicate the expectation degree of the symbol change according to the reserved digestion transmission image by the display mode, by the reserved passage route display color, The display mode of the reserved digestion transmission image may be different, that is, the jackpot expectation degree indicated by the reserved digestion transmission image may be different, or the reserved digestion transmission image may be configured. Change easiness of the display mode of the image may be configured to differ. Further, the effect contents of the design fluctuation related to the digested hold that has passed through the hold passage route SG17 may be different depending on the hold passage route display color (the ratio of the effect with a high expectation of big hits may be different). May be.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a conceptual diagram of a hold occurrence display in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, since the parallel lottery is configured to be executable, a situation in which the hold of the first main game side and the hold of the second main game side are simultaneously present frequently occurs. The hold display is configured to be displayed on the common hold display section SG16 (the area on the display area SG10 of the effect display device SG) common to the hold on the first main game side and the hold on the second main game side. . The numbers "1 → 2 → 3... → 8" shown in the figure (numbers are entered for explanation, but no numbers are entered in the actual common hold display section SG16). In this order, regardless of whether the hold that has occurred is the hold of the first main game side or the hold of the second main game side, the hold is displayed on the common hold display section SG16 in the order in which the hold occurred. (The most recent occurrence of the hold is displayed in the first area, and the hold display already displayed is shifted and displayed as “1 → 2”). In addition, the hold display mode is the same as the hold display on the first main game side and the hold display on the second main game side, and the first main game is displayed only by viewing the common hold display section SG16. It is configured such that it is difficult to determine whether the display is the hold display of the second main game side or the hold display of the second main game side.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a conceptual diagram of the reserved digest display in the present embodiment. First, the upper part of the figure shows an example of display on the common hold display section SG16 when the number of holds is four. As shown in the figure, the first main game side has two reservations and the second main game side has two reservations, and the first main game side is "A1", which is the first main game side. No. 2 displays “B1”, which is reserved for the second main game side, No. 3, “A2”, which is reserved for the first main game side, and “B2”, which is reserved for the second main game side. Have been. In such a situation, the hold display when the hold is exhausted will be described in detail below.

  The middle part of the drawing is an example of the order of the symbol change related to the four holdings described above, and the lower part of the drawing is an example of a state in which the holding display is deleted in the common holding display portion SG16. With reference to these, a detailed description will be given of how the design change is executed and the hold display is deleted in the present embodiment. First, when the symbol change related to A1 which is the hold on the first main game side starts to be executed, the hold display of the first area which is the hold display related to A1 is erased, and the remaining hold is shifted and displayed. You. The display on the common hold display section SG16 is "No. 1: B1, No. 2: A2, No. 3: B2". Although not shown, it is assumed that the symbol change on the second main game side has been executed at the symbol change start timing related to A1. Then, 10 seconds later, the symbol fluctuation related to B1, which is on hold on the second main game side, is started to be executed. The display on the common hold display section SG16 is "No. 1: A2, No. 2: B2". Then, 20 seconds after the start of the design change related to A1, the design change related to B1 ends. Note that the symbol variation related to A1 is in the process of variation. When the symbol change related to B1 is completed, the hold related to B2 is consumed and the symbol change is started. However, in the display on the common hold display unit SG16, the hold display related to “A2” is displayed. The reserved display of the first area is erased. That is, from the appearance, the display in the first area is turned off from the state where the first and second areas in the common hold display section SG16 are lit, and then the display in the second area is the first area. Will be displayed in shift. On the other hand, since the hold actually consumed is the hold related to “B2”, the display in the first area is the hold display related to “A2”. As described above, in the present embodiment, the hold display displayed in the first area is erased regardless of whether the hold actually consumed is the first main game side or the second main game side. (Off).

  Next, FIG. 31 is an image diagram of a reserved passage route in the present embodiment. First, in the present embodiment, the reserved passage route SG17 is displayed in the upper right corner of the display area SG10. The hold passage route has a main route that is an area through which the hold display variably displayed in the main area passes, and a subroute that is an area through which the hold display variably displayed in the sub area passes. First, the left part of the figure is an example of a case where the reservation completion display when the reservation is consumed passes through the main route. In a state other than the standby state, the hold of the first main game side is “A1” (displayed in the first area), and the hold of the second main game side is “B1” (displayed in the second area). A case will be described in which “A1”, which is held on the first main game side, is consumed first. First, as “A1” is consumed, the reserved display of the first area is erased, and the reserved display moves toward the reserved passage route SG17. After that, since the symbol change of the first main game side related to the holding of “A1” is executed in the main area, the holding completion display related to “A1” passes through the main route toward the main area. Become. Next, the right part of the figure is an example of a case where the hold completion display when the hold is used passes through the sub route. In a state other than the standby state, the hold of the first main game side is “A1” (displayed in the first area), and the hold of the second main game side is “B1” (displayed in the second area). A case will be described in which “B1”, which is on hold on the second main game side, is consumed first. First, as “B1” is consumed, the reserved display of the first area is erased, and the reserved display moves toward the reserved passage route SG17. After that, the symbol change on the second main game side related to the hold of “B1” is executed in the sub-region, so the hold-out display of “B1” passes through the sub-route toward the sub-region. . As described above, in the present embodiment, depending on whether the symbol change is executed in the main area or in the sub area, the area in which the reserved display is passed in the reserved passage route SG17 is the sub route that is the main route. Is configured to be determined.

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the first main game winning prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2550 in FIG. 27 in the present embodiment. The present process will be described separately for the process related to the prohibition condition of the prefetch lottery and the process related to the prefetch lottery. In the former prohibition lottery prohibition process, first, in step 2554, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the current game state is the time shortened game state (main game time shortened game state). In the case of Yes in step 2554, in step 2558, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is a hold having information indicating that the hold is in the hold. Here, the trigger hold is a hold that has been won in the winning prefetch lottery (first main game winning prefetch lottery, the second main game winning prefetch lottery). If Yes in step 2558, in step 2560, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is a big hit hold before the new hold. In the case of Yes at step 2560, the process moves to step 2562.

  Next, in the latter process related to the prefetch lottery, first, in step 2562, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a hold that results in a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 2562, in step 2564, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a prize winning prefetch lottery in which the new hold is won with a predetermined probability (1/3 in this example), and step 2574. Move to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2562, in step 2568, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the new suspended change mode group is group 3. As described above, in the present embodiment, when determining whether or not to perform the prefetching lottery, it is configured to determine whether or not to perform the prefetching lottery in consideration of the variation mode group. When determining whether or not to execute the prefetching lottery, it may be configured to determine whether or not to execute the prefetching lottery in consideration of the fluctuation mode random number delimiter information. If Yes in step 2568, in step 2570, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a prize winning prefetch lottery in which the new hold is won with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/10), and step 2574. Move to On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2568, the flow shifts to step 2574.

  Next, in step 2574, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the winning prefetch lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2574, in step 2576, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S temporarily stores the new hold selected in the winning prefetch lottery with information indicating “trigger hold”, The process moves to the process (the process of step 2118). If the result of step 2554, step 2558, step 2560, or step 2574 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2118). As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the second main game side has a hold, the prefetch effect relating to the hold of the first main game side can be executed. In addition, in this example, the prefetch effect on the first main game side is configured to be executed only in the non-time shortened game state (main game non-time shortened game state). However, the present invention is not limited to this. The pre-reading effect may be configured to be executed even in the shortened game state (main game time shortened game state). In addition, the first pre-reading lottery of the first main game side can be executed only at the time of winning, that is, at the time of occurrence of a hold. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The prefetch lottery may be configured to be able to be executed at an intermediate timing or the like.

  Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the second main game winning-time prefetch determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2600 in FIG. 27. The present process will be described separately for the process related to the prohibition condition of the prefetch lottery and the process related to the prefetch lottery. In the former prohibition processing of the prefetch lottery, first, in step 2602, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the current gaming state is the time-reduced gaming state (the main gaming time-reduced gaming state). In the case of Yes in step 2602, in step 2604, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is a hold having information indicating that the trigger is held in the hold. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in step 2606, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is a big hit hold before the new hold. In the case of Yes in step 2606, the process moves to step 2608.

  Next, in the latter process related to the prefetch lottery, first, in step 2608, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the new hold is a hold that results in a big hit. If Yes in step 2608, in step 2610, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a prize winning prefetch lottery in which the new hold is won with a predetermined probability (１ ／ in this example) at step 2620. Move to On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2608, in step 2612, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the new suspended change mode group is the group C. In the case of Yes in step 2612, in step 2616, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a prize winning prefetch lottery in which the new hold is won with a predetermined probability (in this example, 1/10), and in step 2620 Move to On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 2612, the process shifts to step 2620.

  Next, in step 2620, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the winning prefetch lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 2620, in step 2622, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S temporarily stores the information of “trigger hold” in the new hold selected in the winning prefetch lottery, The process moves to the process (the process of step 2118). In addition, also in the case of No in step 2602, step 2604, step 2606, or step 2620, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2118).

  It should be noted that there is no problem if the predetermined probability that the prefetch lottery at the time of winning is won is changed. For example, in both cases where a new hold becomes a big hit and a loss occurs, the prefetch lottery for the hold of the second main game side is performed. The prefetching lottery for the hold on the first main game side may be configured to be easier to win than the precedent lottery winning rate when the first main game hold is a hold with a big hit = 1/3> second main Look-ahead lottery winning rate when the game hold is a hold with a big hit = 1/5, Pre-fetch lottery win rate when the first main game hold is a hold with a loss = 1/10> The second main game hold is a big hit Prefetching lottery winning rate = 1/15, etc. in the case of suspension). With such a configuration, in the appearance rate of the “special symbol” as the look-ahead effect, the “special symbol” related to the first main gaming side appears more than the “special symbol” related to the second main gaming side. Thus, the configuration can be made easily.

  Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. First, in step 2249-1, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the symbol content determination permission flag is on. If Yes in step 2249-1, in step 2249-2, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the symbol content determination permission flag. Next, in step 2249-3, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not there is a trigger hold in the hold. If Yes in step 2249-3, in step 2249-5, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the newly consumed hold is a hold related to the first main game side. If Yes in step 2249-5, in step 2249-6, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the decorative symbol display area as the main area. Next, in step 2249-7, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the first main area symbol table (see FIG. 26) based on the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the first main game symbol, and A stop symbol and a variation mode of the decorative symbol are determined. Next, in step 2249-8, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the first symbol content determination flag (a flag that is turned on when the content relating to the symbol variation on the first main game side is determined), and It moves to 3350.

  If No in step 2249-5, in step 2249-10, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the symbol change related to the newly consumed hold is a symbol change from the standby state. I do. In the case of Yes in step 2249-10, in step 2249-11, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the decorative symbol display area as the main area. Next, in step 2249-12, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the second main area symbol table (see FIG. 26) based on the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the second main game symbol, and The stop symbol and the variation mode of the decorative symbol are determined, and the process proceeds to step 2249-15. As described above, when the decorative symbol starts to change from the standby state, the decorative symbol is variably displayed in the main area regardless of whether the decorative symbol is the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol. It is configured as follows. In addition, when the decoration symbol newly started to change from the standby state is the second decoration symbol, and the first decoration symbol starts to change during the change of the second decoration symbol, the first decoration symbol changes. Until before, the second decorative symbol is variably displayed in the main area, but when the first decorative symbol starts to change, the first decorative symbol is variably displayed in the main area and the second decorative symbol is displayed in the sub area. May be configured to be displayed in a variable manner, or even if the first decorative symbol starts to change, the second decorative symbol is continuously displayed in a variable manner in the main area, and the first decorative symbol is displayed in the sub area. You may comprise so that it may change and display. As described above, the decorative symbol newly started to fluctuate from the standby state is the second decorative symbol. Therefore, when the second decorative symbol is fluctuated and displayed in the main area, the display of the second decorative symbol is not performed. The display of the first decorative design and the design in the main area are the same, and the display of the numbers is different (the first decorative design is an arithmetic numeral, and the second decorative design is a Chinese numeral).

  Further, in the case of No at step 2249-10, at step 2249-13, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the decorative symbol display area as the sub-area. Next, in step 2249-14, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the second sub-region symbol table (see FIG. 26) based on the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the second main game symbol, and A stop symbol and a variation mode of the decorative symbol are determined. Next, in step 3100, the CPU SC of the sub-control board S executes a main area interrupt process A described later, and proceeds to step 2249-15. Next, in step 2249-15, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the second symbol content determination flag (a flag that is turned on when the content related to the symbol variation on the second main game side is determined), and It moves to 3350.

  Next, in step 3350, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes an effect content determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300). If No in step 2249-3, in step 3150, a pre-reading display control process described later is executed, and the flow advances to the next process (the process in step 2300). Note that also in the case of No in step 2249-1, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2300). In the present embodiment, when the second main game symbol starts to change in the standby state, the second decoration symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol is changed and displayed in the main area. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In a situation other than when the interrupt effect is executed, the first decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is constantly displayed in the main area (even in a standby state), A second decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol may be displayed in a variable manner in the sub-region.

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the effect display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 3350 in FIG. First, in step 3352, the CPUSC of the sub control board S reads out the winning / rejecting lottery result related to the symbol variation based on the command received from the main control board M side. Next, in step 3354, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the symbol change is a symbol change on the first main game side. In the case of Yes in step 3354, in step 3356, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the first decorative symbol effect content determination table based on the winning / rejection lottery result and the variation mode of the first decorative symbol, and relates to the symbol variation. Decide the production contents. Next, in step 3358, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the first half priority and the second half priority of the symbol variation based on the determined effect content related to the symbol variation, temporarily stores the same, and performs the next process ( The process proceeds to step 2300). The first half priority and the second half priority will be described later. If No in step 3354, in other words, if the symbol change is a symbol change on the second main game side, in step 3360, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the winning / rejection lottery result and the second decorative symbol change. Based on the mode, the effect content related to the symbol change is determined with reference to the second decorative symbol effect content determination table. Next, in step 3362, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the priority of the symbol variation based on the determined effect content related to the symbol variation, temporarily stores the priority, and performs the next process (the process of step 2300). Move to The priority will be described later.

  Here, FIG. 36 and FIG. 37 (decorative symbol effect table 1 and decorative symbol effect table 2) correspond to the decorative symbol effect table SM21ta-2 (decorative symbol effect table 1, in particular, a part of the case where the result is a loss, And it is an example of the decorative design effect table 2 (particularly, part of the case where the result is a big hit). In the drawings, the first decorative symbol may be simply referred to as a first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol may be simply referred to as a second decorative symbol (the same applies hereinafter). As shown in the present example, in the present embodiment, the success / failure result of the main game symbol (shown in the leftmost column, and in this example, "losing" or "big hit") and a decorative symbol (first decorative symbol) And the second decoration pattern) (shown in the second column on the left. In this example, only in the case of “pseudo consecutive failure (total production time 30 seconds)” and “super reach (total production time 60 seconds)” The decorative design effect contents (the fourth column in the left) are based on the example) and the acquired random value (a random value acquired by the sub-main control unit SM and a part of the random value is shown in the third column on the left). In the present example, it is configured to be able to determine “main production A-1 (losing) pseudo-run 1”, “main production B-1 (big hit) pseudo-run 2”, and the like. Then, when the decoration design effect content is determined, the “display update timing” and the “display update content” can be uniquely determined. For example, if the decorative design effect content = “A-1 (losing) pseudo-run 1”, “display update timing” = “at the start of change (after 0 second)”, “display update content” = “apparatus Start of figure change (all columns of first decorative design and second decorative design) "and" display update timing "=" 12 seconds after start of change "," display update content "=" first display temporary stop display " (Left column), second variation display ". Then, as will be described later, according to the elapsed time related to the variation time of the decorative symbols (the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol), the “display update content” that has reached the “display update timing” is the first decorative symbol. It is sequentially executed for each of the second decorative symbols. That is, when “A-1 (losing) pseudo-run 1” is determined, after all columns of the first decorative symbol and all columns of the second decorative symbol are variably displayed, “display update timing” = “change start” In the case where display control is performed so that all columns of the first decorative symbol are variably displayed (the state of variably displayed becomes visible) until “12 seconds later” is reached, the second decorative symbol is Is controlled so that all columns are displayed in a variable manner (the state of the variable display becomes visible), and when the “display update timing” reaches “12 seconds after the start of the change”, the first decoration is performed. While the display is controlled so that only the left column is stopped for the symbols, the display control is performed so that all the columns are variably displayed for the second decorative symbols.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the so-called pseudo continuous fluctuation is configured to be executable. Specifically, the decorative design effect contents “A-1 (losing) pseudo ream 1” and “A-2” in this example are used. (Losing) pseudo run 2 "," A-3 (losing) pseudo run 2 "," B-1 (big hit) pseudo run 2 ", and" B-2 (big hit) pseudo run 2 ". For example, in the decorative design effect content “A-2 (losing) pseudo consecutive 2”, “display update timing” = “start of change (after 0 second)” and “display update content” = “start of change of design” "1st decorative pattern and all rows of the second decorative pattern)" is executed, then "display update timing" = "12 seconds after the start of fluctuation", "13 seconds after the start of fluctuation", and "14 seconds after the start of fluctuation" Display update contents "=" first design temporary stop display (left column) "(the left column of the first decorative symbol is stop display)," first schematic display temporary stop display (right column) "(the first decorative symbol The right row is stop display), and the "first design special symbol temporary stop display" (the middle row of the first decorative symbol is stop display at the above-mentioned "special symbol") is sequentially executed. Then, after that, in "display update timing" = "fifteen seconds after the start of the change", "display update content" = "start of the first decoration change (all columns)" (all the columns of the first decorative design only change and display again). After the execution, "display update timing" = "26 seconds after the start of fluctuation", "27 seconds after the start of fluctuation", and "28 seconds after the start of fluctuation", "display update content" = "first suspension diagram temporary stop display ( (Left column) "(the left column of the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed)," 1st decorative symbol temporary stop display (right column) "(the right column of the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed)," 1st special symbol special symbol " The "temporary stop display" (the middle row of the first decorative symbol is stopped at the above-mentioned "special symbol") is sequentially executed, so that for the player, during the single fluctuation display of the main game symbol, It looks as if one symbol change has occurred several times. Note that the special symbol is a stop display mode (temporary stop display mode) different from a normal decorative pattern stop display mode (for example, a number), and is, for example, an image object in which a character “continuation” is displayed. is there.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol is configured to be displayed (not hidden) even during the symbol change. In addition, for example, during execution of pseudo continuous fluctuation such as “A-3 (losing) pseudo run 2 (special appearance)” or the like, at the temporary stop timing of the middle symbol, a specific outcome other than “special symbol” is stopped. It is configured to be able to. Here, unlike the “special design”, the specific result is that all columns (left column, middle column, right column) are stopped by numbers (same numbers as in a normal stop display mode), but certain rules are applied. (For example, the order of "345") in order to notify the player that the pseudo continuous variation is being executed by stopping the specific result. It is configured. Further, in the present embodiment, when a pseudo-continuous variation is executed, in the case of a loss, at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, a specific result is easier to stop than “special symbol”, In the case, at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, the "special symbol" is easier to stop than the specific roll, that is, when the "special symbol" stops than when the specific roll stops. The expectation that a big hit will be higher is higher. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and there is no problem even if the expectation of the big hit is higher when the specific result is stopped than when the “special symbol” is stopped. In addition, when the pseudo fluctuation is executed in the pseudo continuous fluctuation, all the symbols are changed again, that is, the three symbols are changed again after the three symbols are temporarily stopped. In such a case, If the "special symbol" temporarily stops at the middle row and then the middle row changes again, the decoration pattern of the middle row at the start of the change is no longer "special symbol". For example, "6 ★ 7" (* = Special symbol), it will fluctuate again in the state of “667” (the middle symbol is preferably a symbol of “± 1” frame of the right symbol or left symbol). It may be configured as follows.

  Further, the second decorative symbol is configured to be always displayed while the main game symbol fluctuates. In the case of the reach, the second decorative symbol is also temporarily stopped at the temporary stop timing of the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol is also simultaneously determined and displayed at the final display timing of the first decorative symbol. (The same symbol is stopped and displayed in the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol). The variation display mode of the second decorative symbol is not limited to this. For example, the first decorative symbol is visually recognizable, and the player can easily grasp the progress of the game by visually recognizing the first decorative symbol. In the case of, the second decorative symbol is not displayed, that is, during the variable display of the first decorative symbol, during the temporary stop of the left and right rows, and at the timing of the temporary stop of the middle row, the specific appearance is stopped. In the case of the middle, the second decorative symbol is not displayed, while when the “special symbol” is stopped at the temporary stop timing of the middle row, the second decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner (or temporarily). (Stop display). Further, the second decorative symbol may be stopped and temporarily stopped in accordance with the stop and the temporary stop of the first decorative symbol. Further, the second decorative symbol may always be displayed in a variable manner regardless of the variation state of the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol may also be fixedly stopped only when the first decorative symbol is fixedly stopped.

  In this way, by configuring so that a specific outcome can be temporarily stopped at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, it is possible to provide a plurality of types of stop modes at the time of temporary stop during execution of pseudo-continuous fluctuation, and to perform the stop. By differentiating the degree of expectation of the big hit depending on the mode, the player pays attention to the stop mode, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  In the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol is configured to be variably displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. During the execution of a specific effect such as a reach effect, the first decorative symbol is not variably displayed ( (Non-display) or only a specific column (for example, middle column) may be non-display.

  In the present embodiment, the specific outcome (or “special symbol”) can be temporarily stopped at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, but the specific outcome (or “special symbol”) is displayed. The display form of the left and right columns may be changed. For example, (1) the left column and the right column are set to the same number, and the middle row is set to ± 1 of the same number ( For example, “4.5.4” or “special symbol” is arranged at the position of 5 in the middle row). (3) Temporarily stop all rows at the same time, (4) Numbers in the left and / or right columns are changed at the temporary stop timing in the middle row, (3) 5) When the decorative pattern in the left and right columns is a number separated by “2” or more, the decorative pattern in the middle row is left and / or right. And if it is temporarily stopped in the loss at "2" or more away from the numbers, it may be used as such. In addition, the appearance condition of the specific appearance may be changed. For example, it is easy to appear when the temporary stop symbols (numbers) in the left column and the right column are the same (or appear only when they are the same). For example, the appearance condition of the “special symbol” may be made different. In addition, the appearance of "special symbol" (or specific result) after the reach is higher than the case of "special symbol" (or specific result) when the reach is not reach, or, After that, during the symbol change, there is a high possibility that the “special symbol” will temporarily stop again. For example, “7 ★ 7” has a higher expectation of big hit than “7 ★ 8” (★ = special symbol). Or you may comprise so that there is a high possibility that a temporary stop will be carried out again.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the first decorative symbol is not displayed (a state in which the stop display / variable display is not displayed) and the middle row of the first decorative symbol is the “special symbol” described above. In the case of temporary stop, the second decorative symbol is variably displayed, and in other cases, the second decorative symbol is hidden, that is, the player can visually recognize the first decorative symbol, or When it is possible to determine which symbol is stopped as the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol is hidden (since only the first decorative symbol is displayed and the progress of the game is not hindered). When the person cannot visually recognize the first decorative symbol or cannot determine which symbol is stopped as the first decorative symbol. For example, the "special symbol" is stopped and the middle row (or all If the number in column (2) cannot be determined, the second decorative pattern By being displayed in a fluctuating manner, the player can always visually recognize any of the decorative symbols (either the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol), and can easily grasp the progress of the game. Good. In addition, the second decorative symbol may be configured so that the “special symbol” does not temporarily stop. With such a configuration, it is difficult to grasp the progress of the game with respect to the first decorative symbol, and the amusement in the production is achieved. The second decorative symbol provided to ensure that the progress of the game can be easily grasped is "special symbol" (that is, when displayed on the activated line, Although it does not mean, a symbol that may make it difficult to grasp the progress of the game, such as a symbol that informs that a big hit may occur thereafter, may be configured not to be displayed. In the case of the above-mentioned “non-display” (including both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol), a state in which the image is fluctuated at a high speed (a fluctuating state in which an afterimage is visible) may be included. In the case of the "display" (including both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol), the display is displayed at a low speed in a fluctuating display (if the display mode fluctuates from top to bottom, the display is slowly changed from top to bottom). And a (temporary) fluctuation state toward the scheduled stop position).

  In addition, the second decorative symbol may be configured so as not to temporarily stop in the middle of the change (and so that the “special symbol” does not stop), and the second decorative symbol may be temporarily changed in the middle of the change similarly to the first decorative symbol. You may comprise so that it may stop (and a pseudo fluctuation | variation may generate | occur | produce). That is, in the case of such a configuration, the operation contents of the variable display and the stop display (including the temporary stop) are substantially the same for all the columns of the first decorative symbol and all the columns of the second decorative symbol, and are stopped and displayed. Will be configured to have different types of symbols.

  Further, the second decorative symbol need not always be displayed during the fluctuation display of the main game symbol, and the display condition and display mode of the second decorative symbol may be changed as appropriate. For example, (1) an effect in which a specific effect is occurring (instead of making the first decorative symbol invisible, instead of an effect of reproducing a movie moving image using the entire display area on the effect display device SG, or a so-called effect (A) a second decorative symbol is displayed in a (2) specific reach effect (the second time) (a second effect), in which a movable character for advancing into a state of covering the display area on the effect display device SG. (1) Instead of making the decorative pattern invisible, it is at the time of execution of the reach effect in which the jackpot expectation is significantly increased. For example, the display contents of the effect performed on the effect display device SG are forcibly paused. The second decorative symbol is displayed only when a so-called freeze reach effect is performed) and the second decorative symbol is not displayed in other reach effects (in particular, when a reach effect with a low jackpot expectation is performed) ( ) The appearance position of the second decorative symbol on the effect display device SG is made different depending on the effect pattern (for example, the movable movable object for effect described above advances to a state of covering the display area on the effect display device SG. In the case of a stunning effect, it is moved to a display area on the effect display device SG that is not covered by the effect movable object), and (4) the first decorative symbol can be moved, reduced, or enlarged. On the other hand, with respect to the second decorative symbol, movement / reduction / enlargement display cannot be executed, or the probability that the movement / reduction / enlargement display is executed, movement width, reduction ratio, enlargement ratio, and the like are higher than those of the first decoration symbol. Low, etc.

  Next, FIG. 38 is an example of a first decorative symbol effect content determination table in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the effect content related to the first decorative symbol is configured to be determined based on the success / failure result of the first main game symbol and the variation time (variation mode). The first half priority and the second half priority, which are elements for determining whether or not to perform an effect, are determined. It should be noted that the priority is relatively higher when the hit result is a big hit than when the hit is a loss. Also, the priority is relatively higher when the fluctuation time is long than when the fluctuation time is short. Also, the first half priority is a priority related to a period before the execution of the SP reach effect (super reach effect) in the symbol variation, and the second half priority is a priority related to a period after the execution start of the SP reach effect. The design variation (effect content) in which the SP reach effect is not executed has a first-half priority but does not have a second-half priority. Note that the priority is any number from “0” to “3”.

  Next, FIG. 39 is an example of a second decorative symbol effect content determination table in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the effect content related to the second decorative symbol is configured to be determined based on the success / failure result of the second main game symbol and the variation time (variation mode). The configuration is such that the priority, which is an element for determining whether or not to perform an effect, is determined. In addition, unlike the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol does not have the two priorities of the first half priority and the second half priority, but has only one priority. It should be noted that the priority is relatively higher when the hit result is a big hit than when the hit is a loss. Also, the priority is relatively higher when the fluctuation time is long than when the fluctuation time is short. Note that the priority is any number from “0” to “3”.

  Next, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the main area interrupt processing A according to the subroutine of step 3100 in FIG. First, in step 3102, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S checks the priority of the second decorative symbol related to the symbol variation. Next, in step 3104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the priority of the second decorative symbol is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (2 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 3104, in step 3106, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets an interruptable flag (a flag which is turned on when the determined variation of the second decorative symbol is a variation capable of executing an interrupt effect). Turn on. Next, in step 3108, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the movable object YK is not stopped at the initial position. In the case of Yes in step 3108, in step 3110, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the accessory initialization flag (flag for operating the movable body accessory YK toward the initial position), and performs the next process ( The processing shifts to step 2249-15). Note that also in the case of No in step 3104 or step 3108, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2249-15). As described above, in the present embodiment, after deciding to variably display the second decorative symbol in the sub-area, the symbol fluctuation of the second decorative symbol is interrupted (the decoration which is variably displayed in the sub-area). It is configured to judge whether or not the variation is an executable variation in which the display area of the symbol and the decorative symbol that is variably displayed in the main area are exchanged. When it is determined that the second decorative symbol can be interrupted, the position of the movable body part YK is confirmed, and when the movable body part YK is operating, the movable body part YK is operated. It is configured to control to drive YK to the initial position. With this configuration, as will be described in detail later, at the timing of executing the interrupt effect (the first timing of the plurality), the rate at which the movable member YK is stopped at the initial position is determined. You can do much.

  Next, FIG. 41 is a flowchart of the pre-reading display control process according to the subroutine of step 3150 in FIG. First, in step 3152, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the newly consumed hold is a hold related to the first main game side. If Yes in step 3152, in step 3154, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the newly used hold is a trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 3154, in step 3156, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the display area of the decorative symbol as the prefetch first area, and proceeds to step 3158. Here, in the present embodiment, during the pre-reading effect execution (from the start of execution of the first symbol change after the trigger hold exists to the end of the symbol change related to the trigger hold), the first decorative symbol is used. And the display area of the second decorative symbol is configured to change, and the first decorative symbol is variably displayed in the lower left portion of the display area SG10 as in the prefetching effect display device image at the bottom of the figure. An area is provided, and a second look-ahead area in which the second decorative symbol is variably displayed is provided at the lower right of the display area SG10, and the first look-ahead area and the second look-ahead area are configured to have approximately the same display area. ing. Further, the display mode of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is configured to be displayed only by numbers, similarly to the case of displaying in the sub-region. Note that, as described above, when two effect display devices are provided, one of the effect display devices (for example, the effect display device having a larger display area) uses two decorative symbols (first effect display device). The decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be displayed in a variable manner (or may be stopped).

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in the case of No in step 3154, in step 3158, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the display area of the decorative symbol as “first look-ahead area → enlargement at SP reach”, and proceeds to step 3158. Transition. As described above, in the present embodiment, at the time of executing the symbol change related to the trigger hold during the execution of the pre-reading effect, the change of the decorative symbol related to the trigger hold is enlarged and displayed in the center portion of the display area SG10, and the SP reach effect is performed. Is configured to be executed. The decorative pattern that is not displayed in an enlarged manner (for example, when the first decorative pattern is enlarged and displayed, the second decorative pattern) is variably displayed at a position that does not overlap the display area of the enlarged decorative pattern. Just do it. Next, in step 3158, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the first sub-region symbol table based on the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the first main game symbol, and stops the symbol and the variation of the first decoration symbol. Determine the mode. As described above, since the variation mode of the decorative symbol during the pre-reading effect is determined with reference to the first sub-region symbol table or the second sub-region symbol table, the display mode of the decorative symbol is displayed in the sub-region. Only the same numbers are displayed. Next, in step 3160, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the first symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  Further, in the case of No in Step 3152, in Step 3162, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the newly consumed hold is not a trigger hold. In the case of Yes in step 3162, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the display area of the decorative symbol as the prefetch second area, and proceeds to step 3168. If No in step 3162, in step 3166, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the display area of the decorative symbol to be “prefetch second area → enlargement during SP reach”, and proceeds to step 3168. In this embodiment, regardless of whether the trigger hold is the hold related to the first decorative symbol or the hold related to the second decorative symbol, the trigger hold is displayed enlarged when the symbol change related to the trigger hold is executed. It is configured. Next, in step 3168, the CPUSC of the sub control board S refers to the second sub-region symbol table based on the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the second main game symbol, and stops the symbol and the variation of the second decoration symbol. Determine the mode. Next, in step 3170, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the second symbol content determination flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2300).

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of the first decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. First, in step 2302, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the first symbol content determination flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in step 2304, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the first symbol content determination flag. Next, in step 2306, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the first symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2308, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S starts the first circuit diagram variation time management timer SM21t-1 (timer for managing the variation time of the first decorative symbol), and proceeds to step 2310. . It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2302, the processing shifts to step 2310.

  Next, in step 2310, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the first symbol changing flag (the flag that is turned on while the first decorative symbol is changing) is on. If Yes in step 2310, in step 2312, the CPUSC of the sub control board S checks the timer value of the first circuit diagram variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2314, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the first decorative symbol variation start timing has been reached. If Yes in step 2314, in step 2316, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a variable display command for the first decorative symbol, and proceeds to step 2344. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2314, in step 2318, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the temporary display timing of the first decorative symbol has been reached. If Yes in step 2318, in step 2324, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a stop display command (temporary stop display command) for the first decorative symbol, and proceeds to step 2344. On the other hand, if No in step 2318, in step 2326, the CPUSC of the sub control board S reaches the display timing of the preview image or the reach image (the display timing of the effect image executed during the variable display of the first decorative symbol). It is determined whether or not it has been performed. If Yes in step 2326, in step 2328 the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets an image display command related to the timing, and proceeds to step 2344. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 23426, the processing shifts to step 2344.

  Next, in step 2344, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether a first forced stop execution command has been received from the main control board M side. If Yes in step 2344, in step 2336, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the first main game symbol has stopped. If Yes in step 2336, in step 2338, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a stop display command (fixed display command) for the first decorative symbol, and proceeds to step 2340. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2344, in step 2346, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S moves in the area where the first decorative symbol is variably displayed (if the pre-reading effect is not being executed, the main area or the sub-area). A stop display command (confirmation display) for stopping the first decorative symbol at the forced losing symbol is set, and the flow shifts to step 2340. The display mode of the forced loss symbol of the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Next, in step 2340, the CPU SC of the sub-control board S stops and resets (clears the timer value to zero) the first wiring variation time management timer SM21t-1. Next, in step 2342, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the first symbol changing flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2350). Note that also in the case of No in step 2310 or step 2336, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2350). Here, the right part of the figure is a decorative symbol display area image diagram. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the display area SG10 of the effect display device SG, the first decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol and the decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol. Is displayed so as to be displayed in a variable manner at the same time as the second decorative symbol, one of which is displayed in the main area and the other is displayed in the sub area.

  Next, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the second decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2350 in FIG. First, in step 2366, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the second symbol content determination flag is on. If Yes in step 2366, in step 2368, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the second symbol content determination flag. Next, in step 2370, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the second symbol changing flag. Next, in step 2372, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S starts the second circuit diagram variation time management timer SM21t-2 (timer for managing the variation time of the second decorative symbol), and proceeds to step 2374. . It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2366, the processing shifts to step 2374.

  Next, in step 2374, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the second symbol changing flag (the flag that is turned on while the second decorative symbol is changing) is on. If Yes in step 2374, in step 2376, the CPUSC of the sub control board S checks the timer value of the second circuit diagram variation time management timer SM21t-2. Next, in step 2378, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the change start timing of the second decorative symbol has been reached based on the second circuit change time management timer SM21t-2 and the temporarily stored change mode. Is determined. In the case of Yes in step 2378, in step 2379, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the variable display command of the second decorative symbol (transmitted to the sub-sub-control unit SS in the display command transmission control processing in step 2999). ) And proceed to step 3200.

  On the other hand, if No in step 2378, in step 2380, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops displaying the second decorative symbol based on the second schematic variable time management timer SM21t-2 and the temporarily stored fluctuation mode. It is determined whether or not the timing (temporary stop display timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2380, in step 2381, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the stop display command (temporary stop display command) of the second decorative symbol (in the display command transmission control process in step 2999, the sub-sub control unit (Transmitted to the SS side), and the process moves to step 3200. On the other hand, if No in step 2380, in step 2382, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the preview image or the reach image based on the second circuit diagram variation time management timer SM21t-2 and the temporarily stored variation mode. It is determined whether or not the timing has been reached. If Yes in step 2382, in step 2383, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets an image display command related to the notice image and the reach image (in the display command transmission control process in step 2999, the sub-sub-control unit SS side). Transmitted), and the process proceeds to step 3200. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2382, the processing shifts to step 3200.

  Next, in step 3200, the CPU SC of the sub control board S executes a main area interrupt process B, which will be described later. Next, in step 2384, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the second forced stop execution command has been received from the main control board M side. If Yes in step 2384, in step 2385, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the second main game symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, the second main game symbol is stopped from the main control board M side). It is determined whether or not information indicating that the information is to be displayed has been received). If Yes in step 2385, in step 2386, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a stop display command (fixed display command) of the second decorative symbol (the sub-sub-control unit SS side in the display command transmission control process in step 2999). Sent to). Next, in step 3250, the CPU SC of the sub control board S executes a main area interrupt process C, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 2390.

  Also, in the case of No in step 2384, in step 2388, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the second decorative symbol in the variable display area (the main area or the sub area when the pre-reading effect is not being executed). A stop display command (fixed display) for stopping at the forced losing symbol is set, and the flow shifts to step 2390. The display mode of the forced loss symbol of the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Next, in step 2390, the CPUSC of the sub control board S stops and resets (clears to zero) the second circuit diagram variation time management timer SM21t-2. Next, in step 2392, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the second symbol changing flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2400). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2374 or step 2385, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2400).

  Next, FIG. 44 is a diagram showing a stop symbol display image at the time of a big hit in the present embodiment. First, the case where the first decorative symbol displayed in the main area shown in the upper part of the drawing is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol will be described. First, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is variably displayed in the main area, and a decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol is variably displayed in the sub area. Then, since the first main game symbol has stopped at the big hit symbol, the first decorative symbol corresponding to the big hit is stopped and displayed in the main area ("777" in the figure). Further, since the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the big hit symbol, the second decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the forced loss symbol. In addition, the forced losing symbol of the second decorative symbol is “Kirin”, and is a symbol that is stopped and displayed only when the second main game symbol is forcibly stopped. In addition, when the second decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in the forced loss symbol, the background effect in the sub-region is a special background effect (a background effect executed only when the forced loss symbol is stopped and displayed).

  Next, a case where the second decorative symbol displayed in the sub-region shown in the lower part of the drawing is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol will be described. First, a decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol is variably displayed in the sub-region, and a decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is variably displayed in the main region. Thereafter, since the second main game symbol has stopped at the big hit symbol, the second decorative symbol corresponding to the big hit is stopped and displayed in the sub-region ("777" in the figure). Further, since the second decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the big hit symbol, the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the forced loss symbol. Note that the forced losing symbol of the first decorative symbol is “zoo”, and is a symbol that is stopped and displayed only when the first main game symbol is forcibly stopped. In addition, when the first decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in the forced losing symbol, the background effect in the main area is a special background effect (a background effect executed only when the forced losing symbol is stopped and displayed). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first main game symbol stops at the big hit symbol and the second main game symbol is forcibly stopped due to a loss, the second decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. The forced losing symbol and the forced losing symbol of the first decorative symbol that is stopped and displayed when the first main gaming symbol is forcibly stopped by the losing by stopping the second main gaming symbol at the big hit symbol. The display mode is configured to be different. As shown in the figure, the display mode of the special background effect in the main area is different from the display mode of the special background effect in the sub area. In addition, as a specific example of the display mode of the special background effect, the display mode of the special background effect in the main area may be “blue”, and the display mode of the special background effect in the sub area may be “red”. Further, the display mode of the special background effect in the main area and the display mode of the special background effect in the sub area may all be the same display mode, or the display mode of the special background effect in the main area and the special background effect in the sub area. Only a part of the display mode may be the same (only the color is the same and the pattern is different).

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the main area interrupt processing B according to the subroutine of step 3200 in FIG. First, in step 3202, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the first interrupt timing of the second decorative symbol has been reached. In the present example, the first interrupt timing is a timing 5 seconds after the start of the change of the second decorative symbol, and it is configured to determine whether the interrupt effect can be executed at the first interrupt timing. I have. In the case of Yes in step 3202, in step 3204, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is turned on if the change of the second decorative symbol itself can be interrupted in the main area interrupt processing A described above. Is determined to be on. In the case of Yes in step 3204, in step 3206, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the changing state of the changing first decorative symbol is the first half. In this example, in the variation of the first decorative symbol, the part before the start of the SP reach is set to the first half, and the part after the start of the SP reach is set to the second half. Not to be.

  In the case of Yes in step 3206, in step 3208, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the first half priority of the first decorative symbol that is changing in the main area and the priority of the second decorative symbol that is changing in the sub area. , And the process proceeds to step 3212. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3206, in step 3210, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the second half priority of the first decorative symbol varying in the main area and the priority of the second decorative symbol varying in the sub area. Then, the process proceeds to step 3212. Next, in step 3212, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the priority of the second decorative symbol is higher than the priority of the first decorative symbol. The priority of the first decorative symbol is the priority compared in step 3208 or step 3210. If Yes in step 3212, in step 3214, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the movable object YK is stopped at the initial position. In the case of Yes in step 3214, in step 3216, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the effect mode of the interrupt effect to the effect mode when the accessory is not operated (to the state where the movable object YK is stopped at the initial position). Then, a command for executing the determined interrupt effect is set, and the process proceeds to step 3220. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3214, in step 3218, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the effect mode of the interrupt effect to the effect mode at the time of the actuation of the accessory (the movable body auditorium YK is activated by a trigger other than the interrupt effect). In the state where the execution is started, the effect of the interrupt effect when the execution is started is determined), the command for executing the determined interrupt effect is set, and the process proceeds to step 3220. In this way, when the priority of the second decorative symbol is higher than the first half priority or the second half priority of the first decorative symbol, an interrupt effect can be executed. It is configured such that the effect mode of the interrupt effect differs depending on whether or not it is stopped at the position. In the present embodiment, the interruption effect is executed when the expectation degree of the symbol change is high (the priority of the second decorative symbol is high), so that the player is noticeable (flashy). Na) It is more preferable to execute it in the effect mode. Therefore, it is more preferable to perform both the effect display on the liquid crystal (on the display area SG10) and the operation of the movable body YK than the effect display only on the liquid crystal (on the display area SG10). . In other words, it is preferable to execute the interrupt effect while the movable body YK is stopped at the initial position. Therefore, as described above, when the movable body part YK is operated during the execution of the main area interrupt processing A, the movable body part YK is operated to the initial position, so that the interruption effect is executed. In such a case, it is possible to increase the ratio of selecting the effect mode when the accessory is not operated. Note that the interrupt effect in step 3216 and step 3218 (the interrupt effect executed at the first interrupt timing) may be referred to as a first interrupt effect.

  Next, in step 3220, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command to execute the exchange of the display of the decorative pattern between the main area and the sub-area, and proceeds to step 3222. It should be noted that also in the case of No in Step 3202, Step 3204 or Step 3212, the process shifts to Step 3222. Here, the first decorative symbol is variably displayed in the main area, the second decorative symbol is variably displayed in the sub area, and the second decorative symbol (second main game symbol) is displayed. In the case of a big hit, if the display area of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is not changed, the second decorative symbol, which is variably displayed in the sub area smaller than the main area, is the big hit symbol. , And the joy of the player being a big hit is reduced. Therefore, by executing the interrupt effect and setting the variable display of the second decorative symbol that becomes the big hit as the main area, the big hit symbol can be stopped and displayed in the main area, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. .

Next, in step 3222, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the second decorative symbol is being displayed in the sub area. If Yes in step 3222, in step 3224, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the second interrupt timing of the second decorative symbol has been reached. Here, in the present embodiment, the second interrupt timing of the second decorative symbol is a timing 5 seconds before the end of the change of the second decorative symbol. In the case of Yes in step 3224, in step 3226, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the changing second decorative symbol is a symbol change that causes a big hit. If Yes in step 3226, in step 3228, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the priority of the second decorative symbol is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (2 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 3228, in step 3230, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the movable body accessory YK is in operation as the effect during the change of the first decorative symbol. If Yes in step 3230, in step 3232, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command for executing the second interrupt effect. Next, in step 3234, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command to execute the exchange of the display of the decorative symbol between the main area and the sub-area, and proceeds to the next processing (the processing of step 2384). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 3222, step 3224, step 3226, step 3228, or step 3230, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing of step 2384). As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the priority of the second decorative symbol is not determined to be higher than the priority of the first decorative symbol at the first interrupt timing, the following is performed at the second interrupt timing. When the condition is satisfied, an interrupt effect is executed as a second interrupt effect.
(1) While the second decorative pattern is changing in the sub area,
(2) The fluctuation of the second decorative pattern is a fluctuation that becomes a big hit,
(3) The priority of the changing second decorative symbol is a predetermined value (2 in this example) or more,
(4) the movable body YK is not activated as the effect during the change of the first decorative symbol,
When the above conditions are satisfied, an interrupt effect is executed.

  Although not shown, the second interruption effect is configured to be executed when the movable body character YK is not operating. It is preferred to do so. In addition, the effect form of the second interrupt effect may be such that the player can judge that the change of the second decorative symbol is a symbol change in which the change of the second decorative symbol is a big hit when the movable body object YK operates. In the present embodiment, when the first decorative symbol is variably displayed in the main area and the second decorative symbol is variably displayed in the sub area, an interrupt effect is executed and the first decorative symbol is displayed. The symbols are variably displayed in the sub area, and the second decorative symbols are variably displayed in the main area. However, when the interrupt effect is finished, that is, the symbol change on the second main game side relating to the interrupt effect. Is a loss, the timing at which the change of the second decorative symbol related to the interrupting effect ends, and the symbol change of the second main game side relating to the interrupting effect is a big hit, the timing of the end of the big hit, , The first decorative symbol is variably displayed in the main area, and the second decorative symbol is variably displayed in the sub area. The details will be described later with reference to FIG. 47. However, the third interrupt timing shown in FIG. 47 (FIG. 45) may be the symbol variation end timing = the symbol variation stop timing, or the symbol variation temporary timing. The timing immediately before the stop or the timing immediately before the stop of the determination of the symbol change may be used. Further, the symbol change may be performed during the last timing of the interrupt timings that exist in a single symbol change period. In addition, when the interrupt effect is executed, or when the display areas of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are switched, for example, when the first decorative symbol is fluctuatingly displayed in the main area, the interrupt effect is generated. When the first decorative symbol is executed and displayed in the sub-region, and the second decorative symbol is displayed in the main region, the variable display of the second decorative symbol displayed in the main region is performed. Until the end, the display area of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is configured not to be exchanged (the next change of the first decorative symbol starts during the change of the second decorative symbol in which the interrupt effect is executed). Also, it is preferable that the second decorative symbol be kept displayed in a variable manner in the main area.

  Next, FIG. 46 is an interrupt effect execution image diagram in the present embodiment. First, in the upper part of the figure, an effect mode when the accessory is activated is illustrated. First, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is variably displayed in the main area, and a decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol is variably displayed in the sub area. After that, five seconds have elapsed since the start of the change of the second decorative symbol, and at the time of the first interrupt timing, the movable body role YK is operating as an effect corresponding to the change of the first decorative symbol. In this case, the interruption effect is executed. However, since the movable body member YK cannot be operated as the interruption effect, the effect mode of “only the liquid crystal display” (the movable body member YK does not operate). In the effect mode), an interrupt effect is executed. In the same figure, a state is shown in which the movable object YK that has been operated as an effect related to the first decorative symbol returns to the initial position.

  Next, in the lower part of the figure, an effect mode when the accessory is not operated is illustrated. First, under the condition that the decorative symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is variably displayed in the main area and the decorative symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol is variably displayed in the sub area, the second decorative symbol is displayed. When five seconds have elapsed from the start of the fluctuation and the first interrupt timing has been reached, the movable object YK has stopped at the initial position. In this case, the movable body YK can be operated as an interruption effect, and therefore, an interruption effect in an effect mode of “liquid crystal display + actor operation” (an effect mode in which the movable object YK operates). Is executed. In the same drawing, a state in which the movable object YK is operating at the center of the effect display device SG is shown as an interrupt effect according to the second decorative symbol.

  Next, FIG. 47 is a flowchart of the main area interrupt processing C according to the subroutine of step 3250 in FIG. First, in step 3252, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the changing second decorative symbol is a symbol change that causes a big hit. If Yes in step 3252, in step 3254, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the priority of the second decorative symbol is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (3 in this example). If Yes in step 3254, in step 3256, the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets a command for executing the third interrupt effect as the interrupt effect. Next, in step 3258, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command to execute the exchange of the display of the decorative pattern between the main area and the sub-area, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2390). Note that also in the case of No in step 3252 or 3254, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2390). As described above, even when the interrupt effect (second interrupt effect) cannot be executed at the second interrupt timing, (1) the executed symbol change of the second decorative symbol is a change that results in a big hit, and (2) execute When both of the two conditions, that is, the priority of the given second decorative symbol is equal to or more than a predetermined value (3 in this example), are satisfied, the third interrupt effect is generated as an interrupt effect at the stop timing of the second decorative symbol. Is configured to execute. Note that the stop timing of the second decorative symbol is referred to as a third interrupt timing. Also, as the effect form of the third interrupt effect, the execution of the third interrupt effect is the start of the big hit, so that the effect mode of congratulating the player whose big hit is fixed or the same effect as at the start of the big hit It may be configured to execute. Further, an effect mode in which the movable object YK operates may be adopted. Further, the effect form of the third interrupt effect may be different between the case where the movable body part YK is operating and the case where it is not operating as the effect contents relating to the variation of the first decorative symbol.

  Next, FIG. 48 is a flowchart of the special game-related display control processing according to the subroutine of step 2400 in FIG. First, in step 2402, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the special game flag is off. If Yes in step 2402, in step 2404, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether a special game start display instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2404, in steps 2406 and 2408, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the special game flag and performs a big hit start display on the effect display device SG (appropriately based on the type of big hit). Display is performed), and the flow shifts to step 2412. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 2402, the process proceeds to step 2412.

  Next, in step 2412, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device SG based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control board M side (playability). And may be appropriately executed as needed based on the type of jackpot or the like).

  Next, in step 2413, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command for displaying an effect related to the special game being executed based on the game state at the time of winning of the currently running big hit and the stopped big hit symbol ( It is transmitted to the sub-sub-control unit SS side in the display command transmission control processing of step 2999) (for example, a latent probability variable big hit symbol (a big hit symbol that can shift to the probability fluctuation gaming state and the non-time shortening gaming state after the end of the special game)) In the case of the special game according to the above, an effect is executed in which the player cannot recognize that the game is shifted to the probability fluctuation game state after the end of the special game). Next, in step 2414, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not a special game end display instruction command has been received from the main control board M side. In the case of Yes in step 2414, in step 2416, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs the big hit end display on the effect display device SG (displays appropriately based on the type of big hit). Next, in step 2418, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the special game in progress flag, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2500). Note that also in the case of No in step 2404 or step 2414, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2500).

  Next, FIG. 49 is a flowchart of the background effect control processing according to the subroutine of step 2500 in FIG. First, in step 2522, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the prefetching flag (the flag that is turned on when the prefetch effect is being executed) is off. If Yes in step 2522, in step 2524, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not trigger suspension exists in suspension. In the case of Yes in step 2524, in step 2526, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the decorative symbol fluctuation start timing in the first main area after the occurrence of the trigger hold has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 2626, in step 2528, the CPUSC of the sub control board S calculates the time until the end of the symbol change related to the trigger hold, and based on the result of the trigger hold, until the calculated time elapses. The pre-reading announcement production scenario is determined. Here, the lower part of the figure is an image diagram of the execution of the notice effect during prefetching. The drawing shows an example in which the pre-reading notice effect scenario is determined and the pre-read effect is executed. First, at the first change start timing of the decorative symbol after the trigger hold occurs (change start timing of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol whose change start is earlier), the symbol change related to the trigger hold ends. To determine the pre-reading notice effect scenario during the period. After that, when 20 seconds have elapsed from the first symbol change start timing, the display of "Atsui" is executed as a dialogue notice. Thereafter, a cut-in effect is executed when 40 seconds have elapsed from the first symbol change start timing. Thereafter, when 60 seconds have elapsed from the first symbol change start timing, an effect in which the movable body accessory YK operates is executed. Thereafter, when 70 seconds have elapsed from the first symbol change start timing, the symbol change related to the trigger hold is ended. In the present embodiment, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are simultaneously displayed in a fluctuating manner. Therefore, when a warning effect is performed based on one time of the fluctuating time of the symbol fluctuating, the warning effect relating to any of the symbol fluctuating is performed. It may be recognized that the execution is being executed, that is, it is possible to recognize which symbol change is related to the symbol change related to the trigger hold, and the interest of the design change related to the hold other than the trigger hold is reduced. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, by managing the execution timing of the notice effect based on the elapsed time from the start of the change of the first decorative symbol after the trigger hold occurs, the interest of the entire look-ahead effect is enhanced.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in step 2530, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the prefetching flag. Next, in step 2532, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets “prefetching background” as the background effect, and shifts to the next process (process # 3 in step 3300). In the case of Yes in step 2526, that is, it is configured to be set first at the change start timing of the decorative symbol in the first main area after the occurrence of the trigger hold. Is the start timing of the symbol change. When the background effect is “pre-reading background”, as described above with reference to FIG. A first look-ahead first area in which one decorative symbol is variably displayed is provided, and a second look-ahead area in which a second decorative symbol is variably displayed is provided at a lower right portion of the display area SG10. The first read-ahead area and the second read-ahead area are displayed side-by-side in a variable manner with the same display area.If No in step 2522, in step 2534, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S It is determined whether or not the symbol change related to the trigger hold has ended.If Yes in step 2534, in step 2536, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the prefetch flag and shifts to step 2538. Also in the case of No at 2524 or 2526, the process proceeds to step 2538. Next, at step 2538, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets “normal background” as the background effect, and performs the next process (step 3300). In the case of No at step 2534, at step 2540, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S “Looking-in background” is set as the scenery effect, and the process proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 3300) .If the “looking-in background” and “normal background” can be visually identified by the player, There is no problem in any display mode.

  Next, FIG. 50 is a flowchart of the accessory drive control process according to the subroutine of step 3300 in FIG. First, in step 3302, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the effect content relating to the symbol variation is newly determined. In step 3302, it is determined whether or not the effect contents other than during the execution of the pre-reading effect are determined. In the case of Yes in step 3302, in step 3304, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is a plan to operate the movable body YK in the newly determined effect contents. If Yes in step 3304, in step 3306, the CPUSC of the sub control board S activates the movable body accessory YK based on the variation mode and the effect content of the decorative symbol related to the symbol variation, and proceeds to step 3314. Further, in the case of No in step 3302, in step 3308, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the pre-reading notice effect scenario is newly determined. In step 3308, it is determined whether or not the effect content when the pre-reading effect is being executed is determined. In the case of Yes in step 3308, in step 3310, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not there is an operation schedule of the movable body object YK in the newly determined effect contents. If Yes in step 3310, in step 3312, the CPUSC of the sub control board S activates the movable object YK based on the pre-reading notice effect scenario, and proceeds to step 3314. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 3304, step 3308, or step 3310, the processing shifts to step 3314.

  Next, in step 3314, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the movable body accessory YK at the initial position when the variation of the second decorative symbol is determined to be an interruptable variation. It is determined whether or not a flag for turning on the movable body YK to the initial position, which is turned on when not stopped, is on. If Yes in Step 3314, in Step 3316, the CPUSC of the sub control board S operates the movable body object YK toward the initial position. Next, in step 3318, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the accessory initialization flag, and proceeds to step 3320. If the result of step 3314 is "No", the process also proceeds to step 3320. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the movable body character YK has been operated from the initial position at the time when the symbol change of the second decorative symbol is determined to be an interruptible change, the corresponding operation is performed. It is configured to execute control to return the moving movable object YK to the initial position. Next, in step 3320, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not it is time to execute the interrupt effect. In the case of Yes in step 3320, in step 3322, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the interrupt effect to be executed is an interrupt effect of an effect mode in which the movable body object YK operates. In addition, as an interruption effect in which the movable body character YK operates, for example, an interruption effect (first interruption effect) which is an effect mode when the accessory is not operating is executed at the first interruption timing. Is executed, the third interrupt effect is executed, and so on. If Yes in step 3322, in step 3324, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S activates the movable object YK based on the effect mode of the interrupt effect, and shifts to the next process (process in step 2999). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 3320 or step 3322, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2999).

  With the above-described configuration, according to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, as a configuration in which the two decorative symbols, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, are displayed on the effect display device SG, The lottery can be executed, and the decoration pattern corresponding to the first main game side is set as the first decoration pattern, and the decoration pattern corresponding to the second main game side is set as the second decoration pattern. And the symbol fluctuation on the second main game side can be displayed at the same time. Also, the first decorative symbol is mainly displayed in the main area, the second decorative symbol is mainly displayed in the sub-area smaller than the main area, and the second decorative symbol displayed in the sub-area. When the big hit expectation degree of the symbol variation according to the present invention is high, by executing the interrupt effect and displaying the display of the second decoration symbol in the main area, the variation display of the decoration symbol desired to be shown to the player is performed. It is possible to make the game look bigger in the main area, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  In the present embodiment, as the symbol status relating to the fixed fixed time of the fluctuation of the main game symbol, the first (second) big hit symbol is displayed and the first (second) loss symbol is displayed, that is, the stop symbol is displayed. Is configured to have different symbol statuses in the case of the big hit symbol and the case of the losing symbol, so that it is possible to determine whether or not the other symbol is stopped at the big hit symbol while one symbol is fluctuating. (2) It is configured to be able to determine by confirming whether or not a symbol is being displayed. In the present embodiment, the parallel lottery is configured to be executable, and the same external output signal (signal number) is used both when the first main game symbol stops and when the second main game symbol stops. 1) is output to the outside of the gaming machine, and when the other main game symbol is stopped during the output period of the signal of signal number 1 relating to the stop of one main game symbol, the one of the main game symbols is stopped. The parallel lottery is executed by starting the output of the signal of signal number 1 relating to the stop of the other main game symbol after the output period of the signal of signal number 1 relating to the stop of the main game symbol ends. An output mode of an external output signal suitable for a possible gaming machine can be obtained. Further, in the present embodiment, in the time saving final variation (probable variation final variation), the main game time shortened gaming state (probability varying gaming state) ends at the start of the variation of the main gaming symbol (the main gaming time reduction flag is turned off, Alternatively, the main game probable change flag is turned off), and the test signal output processing (processing related to the generation and output of the test signal) in the time saving final fluctuation (or the probable change final fluctuation) is performed by the main game time reduction flag. It is configured to be executed after the (or main game probability change flag) is turned off, but is stored in the test signal extension buffer in the test signal output process in the time saving final variation (or the probability variation final variation). By generating a test signal with reference to the value, the main game time reduction game state (or the auxiliary game time reduction game letter) , And it is configured to be able to generate a test signal indicating that the symbol variation in the probability change game condition).

(Modification 1 from the present embodiment)
Here, in the present embodiment, the first decoration symbol corresponding to the first main game symbol is displayed in the main area, the second decoration symbol corresponding to the second main game symbol is displayed in the sub area, and the second decoration symbol is displayed. When the priority of the symbol is large (for example, the big hit expectation is high), the interrupt effect is executed and the second decorative symbol is displayed in the main area, but the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are displayed. Is not limited to this. Therefore, such a configuration is referred to as a first modification from the present embodiment, and only the points different from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 51 is a flowchart of decorative symbol display content determination processing according to the subroutine of step 2200 in FIG. 24 in a first modification example of the present embodiment. The changes from this embodiment are steps 2249-16 (variation 1) to step 2249-26 (variation 1), that is, in step 2249-3, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S does not hold the trigger while it is on hold. In step 2249-16 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether the symbol change is a symbol change from the standby state. If Yes in step 2249-16 (variation 1), in step 2249-17 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the decorative symbol display area as the main area. Next, in step 2249-18 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the newly consumed hold is a hold related to the first main game side. If Yes in step 2249-18 (variation 1), in step 2249-19 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs the first main game symbol on the basis of the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the first main game symbol. With reference to the area symbol table, the stop symbol and the variation mode of the first decorative symbol are determined, and the flow shifts to step 2249-8. On the other hand, in the case of No at step 2249-18 (variation 1), at step 2249-20 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the second main game symbol based on the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode. With reference to the 2 main area symbol table, the stop symbol and the variation mode of the second decorative symbol are determined, and the process proceeds to step 2249-8.

  Further, in the case of No in step 2249-16 (variation 1), in step 2249-21 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub control board S holds the newly consumed hold on the first main game side. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2249-21 (variation 1), in step 2249-22 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the display area of the decorative symbol in the same manner as the previous symbol variation of the first decorative symbol. Determine the area. Next, in step 2249-23 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs the first main area symbol table or the first sub area symbol table on the basis of the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the first main game symbol. , The stop symbol and the variation mode of the first decorative symbol are determined, and the flow shifts to step 2249-26 (variation 1). If No in step 2249-21 (variation 1), in step 2249-24 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the display area of the decorative symbol to the same as the symbol variation of the previous second decorative symbol. Is determined as the display area. Next, in step 2249-25 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs the second main area symbol table or the second sub area symbol table on the basis of the information on the stop symbol and the variation mode of the second main game symbol. , The stop symbol and the variation mode of the second decorative symbol are determined, and the flow shifts to step 2249-26 (variation 1). Next, in step 2249-26 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the display area of the decorative symbol related to the symbol change is a sub-region. In the case of Yes in step 2249-26 (variation 1), the process proceeds to step 3100, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to step 2249-15. As described above, in the first modification from the present embodiment, when the decorative symbol starts to change when not in the standby state, the previous symbol change is performed in both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol. It is configured to be changed in the area (either the main area or the sub area) that has been variably displayed. Further, when the decorative symbol starts to change in the standby state, regardless of whether the decorative symbol that starts to change newly is the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol, the decorative symbol is changed from the standby state. The decorative symbols that have started to fluctuate are displayed variably in the main area, and the decorative symbols that have started fluctuating later are variably displayed in the sub-area.

  Next, FIG. 52 is an example of a second decorative symbol effect content determination table in a first modification example from the present embodiment. In the first modified example from the present embodiment, since it is not fixedly determined which of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is mainly displayed in the main area, the first decorative symbol is also the first decorative symbol. Like the symbols, the first half priority and the second half priority, which are elements for determining whether or not to execute the interrupt effect, are determined based on the determined effect contents. It should be noted that the priority is relatively higher when the hit result is a big hit than when the hit is a loss. Also, the priority is relatively higher when the fluctuation time is long than when the fluctuation time is short. Also, the first half priority is a priority related to a period before the execution of the SP reach effect (super reach effect) in the symbol variation, and the second half priority is a priority related to a period after the execution start of the SP reach effect. The design variation (effect content) in which the SP reach effect is not executed has a first-half priority but does not have a second-half priority. Note that the priority is any number from “0” to “3”.

  Next, FIG. 53 is a flowchart of main area interrupt processing A according to the subroutine of step 3100 in FIG. 51 in a first modification example of the present embodiment. Changes from the present embodiment are step 3112 (variation 1), step 3102 (variation 1), step 3104 (variation 1), step 3114 (variation 1), and step 3116 (variation 1), that is, step 3112. In (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the decorative symbol variably displayed in the sub-region is the second decorative symbol. If Yes in step 3112 (variation 1), in step 3102 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S checks the first half priority of the second decorative symbol related to the symbol variation. Next, in step 3104 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the first-half priority of the confirmed second decorative symbol is a predetermined value (2 in this example) or more. In the case of Yes in step 3104 (variation 1), the process proceeds to step 3106, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 2249-15). If No in step 3112 (variation 1), in step 3114 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S checks the first half priority of the first decorative symbol related to the symbol variation. If Yes in step 3114 (variation 1), in step 3116 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines that the first half priority of the confirmed first decorative symbol is a predetermined value (2 in this example) or more. It is determined whether or not there is. In the case of Yes in step 3116 (variation 1), the flow proceeds to step 3106, and in the case of No, the flow proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 2249-15). As described above, in the first modification from the present embodiment, both the case where the first decorative symbol is variably displayed in the sub-region and the case where the second decorative symbol is variably displayed in the sub-region are used. Since it is configured to be able to execute an interrupt effect, it is determined whether the change in the decorative symbol currently displayed in the sub-area is a change in which the interrupt effect can be executed. Further, since the timing of executing the process is a timing before the start of the SP reach (the timing before the start of the symbol change), the first half priority is confirmed as the priority.

  Next, FIG. 54 is a flowchart of the first decorative symbol display control process according to the subroutine of step 2300 in FIG. 24 in a first modification example of the present embodiment. The modification from the present embodiment is step 3200 (variation 1), that is, after the CPUSC of the sub control board S sets the variable display command of the first decorative symbol in step 2316, the sub control board S After the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the stop display command (temporary stop) of the first decorative symbol, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the image display command related to the timing in step 2328, or the sub-control board in step 2326 If the CPUSC of S determines that the display timing of the preview image or the reach image has not been reached, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes a main area interrupt process B, which will be described later, in step 3200 (variation 1). Move to step 2344.

  Next, FIG. 55 is a flowchart of the main area interrupt processing B according to the subroutine of step 3200 (variation 1) in FIG. 54 in the first modification example from the present embodiment. First, in step 3236, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the changing decorative symbol is changing in the sub area. In the first modified example from the present embodiment, when the main area interrupt processing B in the figure is executed in the first decorative symbol display control processing, the determination is made on the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol is determined. When it is executed in the symbol display control process, the determination is made for the second decorative symbol. In the case of Yes in step 3236, in step 3237, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the first interruption timing of the decorative symbol displayed in the sub area has been reached. In this example, the first interrupt timing is a timing 5 seconds after the start of the change of the decorative symbol, and the decorative symbol which is variably displayed in the sub area at the first interrupt timing can execute the interrupt effect. Is determined. If Yes in step 3237, in step 3238, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the interrupt enable flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 3238, in step 3239, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the variation state of the decorative symbol changing in the main area is the first half. In this example, in the variation of the decorative pattern, the part before the start of the SP reach is set to the first half, and the part after the start of the SP reach is set to the second half, and the change in which the SP reach is not executed has only the first half. And

  If Yes in step 3239, in step 3240, the CPUSC of the sub control board S compares the first half priority of the decorative symbol changing in the main area with the first half priority of the decorative symbol changing in the sub area. Then, the process proceeds to step 3242-1. On the other hand, in the case of No at Step 3239, at Step 3241, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines the second half priority of the decorative symbol changing in the main area and the first half priority of the decorative symbol changing in the sub area. Then, the process proceeds to step 3242-1. Next, in step 3242-1, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the priority of the decorative symbol variably displayed in the sub area is higher than the priority of the decorative symbol variably displayed in the main area. Is determined. It should be noted that the priority of the decorative symbol variably displayed in the main area is the priority compared in step 3240 or step 3241. If Yes in step 3242-1, in step 3242-2, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the movable object YK is stopped at the initial position. In the case of Yes in step 3242-2, in step 3242-3, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the effect mode of the interrupt effect to the effect mode when the accessory is not operated (the movable object YK stops at the initial position. In this state, the execution mode is determined to be an interruption effect when the execution is started), a command for executing the determined interruption effect is set, and the flow shifts to step 3242-5. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3242-2, in step 3242-4, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the effect mode of the interrupt effect to the effect mode at the time of the operation of the accessory (the movable body actor YK In the state where is operated, the effect of the interrupt effect when the execution is started is determined), the command for executing the determined interrupt effect is set, and the flow shifts to step 3242-5. In this way, when the first half priority of the decorative symbol variably displayed in the sub area is higher than the first half priority or the second half priority of the decorative symbol variably displayed in the main area, the interrupt effect is executed. Although it is configured to obtain, the effect form of the interrupt effect differs depending on whether or not the movable object YK is stopped at the initial position.

  Next, in Step 3242-5, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command for executing the exchange of the display of the decorative design between the main area and the sub-area, and proceeds to Step 3242-6. It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 3237, step 3238 or step 3242-1, the processing shifts to step 3242-6.

  Next, in step 3242-6, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the variation of the decorative symbol is being displayed in the sub area. If Yes in step 3242-6, in step 3242-7, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the second interrupt timing of the decorative symbol has been reached. In the case of Yes at Step 3242-7, at Step 3242-8, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the decorative symbol that is changing in the sub area is a symbol change that causes a big hit. If Yes in step 3242-8, in step 3242-9, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether the second half priority of the decorative symbol that is changing in the sub area is a predetermined value (2 in this example) or more. It is determined whether the second interrupt timing is later than the SP reach start timing (the latter priority is determined). In the case of Yes in step 3242-9, in step 3243-1, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the movable body accessory YK is operating as a fluctuating effect of the fancy design that is fluctuating in the main area. Is determined. If Yes in step 3243-1, in step 3242-2, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command for executing the second interrupt effect. Next, in step 3243-3, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets a command for executing the exchange of the display of the decorative pattern between the main area and the sub-area, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 2344). . It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 3242-6, step 3242-7, step 3242-8, step 3242-9, or step 3243-1, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 2344). In the first modification from the present embodiment, when the interrupt effect is executed and the display of the decorative symbols in the main area and the sub area is switched, the decorative symbol newly displayed in the main area is displayed. Even if such a symbol change is a big hit, the display area of the subsequent decorative symbol is configured to be the display area after the execution of the interrupt effect. Specifically, when the first decorative symbol is displayed in the main area and the second decorative symbol is displayed in the sub area, an interrupt effect is executed, and the second decorative symbol is displayed in the main area. Even if the first decorative symbol is displayed in the sub area and the result of the symbol variation of the second decorative symbol is lost as an execution result of the interruption effect, the second decorative symbol is displayed in the main area in the next symbol variation. The symbol is displayed, and the first decorative symbol is displayed in the sub area. Incidentally, the third interrupt timing shown in FIG. 54 (FIG. 54) may be the symbol variation end timing = the symbol variation stop timing, the timing immediately before the symbol variation is temporarily stopped, or the timing immediately before the symbol variation is determined to be stopped. It may be. Further, the symbol change may be performed during the last timing of the interrupt timings that exist in a single symbol change period.

  Next, FIG. 56 is a flowchart of the main area interrupt processing C according to the subroutine of step 3250 in FIG. 54 in the first modification example from the present embodiment. The changes from the present embodiment are step 3260 (variation 1) and step 3262 (variation 1), that is, in step 3260 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is changing in the sub-region. It is determined whether or not the symbol change of the decorative symbol is a symbol change that causes a big hit. In the case of Yes in step 3260 (variation 1), in step 3262 (variation 1), the CPUSC of the sub-control board S sets the latter half priority of the design change of the decorative symbol changing in the sub-region to a predetermined value (in this example, (3) because the third interrupt timing is later than the SP reach start timing. In the case of Yes in Step 3262 (variation 1), the flow shifts to Step 3256, and in the case of No, the flow shifts to the next process (the process of Step 2340).

  With the configuration described above, according to the gaming machine according to Modification Example 1 from the present embodiment, two decorative symbols of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are displayed on the effect display device SG. As a simple configuration, a parallel lottery can be executed, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first main gaming side is set as a first decorative symbol, and a decorative symbol corresponding to the second main gaming side is set as a second decorative symbol. The symbol fluctuation on the first main game side and the symbol fluctuation on the second main game side can be displayed simultaneously. In addition, of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol, the decorative symbol for which the variable display is first started in the standby state is displayed in the main area, and thereafter, the decorative symbol for which the variable display is started is displayed in the sub area. With such a configuration, the value of the first decorative symbol and the value of the second decorative symbol can be made equal, and the case where the first decorative symbol is displayed in the main area and the case where the second decorative symbol is displayed in the main area By frequently changing the display, the player can be noticed by both the symbol fluctuation of the first main game side and the symbol fluctuation of the second main game side.

  Next, FIG. 57 is a first (second) symbol status image diagram 2 applicable to the pachinko gaming machine of this example. In the same figure, the configuration of the symbol status which is different from that of the present embodiment and which can be applied to the pachinko gaming machine of this example will be described in detail. First, in the configuration shown in the figure, the round related to the big hit is started to be executed after the big hit start demonstration time has elapsed (a big hit start demonstration time is provided). Here, in the case of the symbol status configuration according to the present embodiment, immediately before the stop timing of the big hit symbol on the first main game side, in other words, the start timing of the variable fixed time related to the big hit symbol on the first main game side Just before, when the second main game symbol starts to change, the fluctuation time of the second main game symbol becomes the fluctuation time of 4 ms at the shortest, and the fluctuation of the second main game symbol is newly changed. It is difficult to determine whether or not the second main game symbol is changed until the timing at which the fixed change time of the big hit symbol on the first main game side ends, as shown in FIG. At the same time, by configuring the first main game side to be able to set the fluctuation fixed time of the second main game symbol at the big hit start demonstration time after the end of the fluctuation fixed time of the big hit symbol, the shortest fluctuation of the second main game symbol Change the time to "(4+ 1st main game side big hit symbol fluctuation fixed time) ms ”, and even if the second main game symbol newly changes just before the stop timing of the first main game side big hit symbol, Since the fluctuation time of the second main game symbol can be secured to some extent, the player can visually recognize that the second main game symbol has been changed. In addition, at the timing when the fluctuation fixed time related to the big hit symbol on the first main game side ends, the changing second main game symbol is forcibly stopped due to loss. The determination as to whether or not it is time to end the variable fixed time of the big hit symbol on the first main game side is made based on the timing or condition when the timer value of the variable fixed time timer related to the first main game symbol becomes “0”. This is possible by monitoring the timing at which the device operation flag is turned on. When the timing at which the condition device operation flag is turned on is monitored, when the condition device operation flag relating to the second main game side is monitored as the process on the first main game side, the first process is performed. Since the condition device operation flag related to the second main game side may not be turned on yet in the processing of the timing when the main game symbol should be forcibly stopped due to a loss, a timer such as a variable fixed time timer is used. Performing the monitoring process enables the forced stop at a more accurate timing. It should be noted that the last 300-500 ms (corresponding to the minimum fluctuation display time) of the fluctuation display time related to the big hit symbol on the first main game side is changed to the predetermined symbol status for prohibiting the fluctuation start on the second main game side. Or a predetermined symbol status for adding a fluctuation addition time of 300 to 500 ms after the end of the fluctuation fixing time relating to the big hit symbol on the first main game side and for prohibiting the fluctuation start time on the second main game side. The second main game symbol may be configured to secure the minimum display time of the variable display.

  In the present example, when one of the main game symbols is in the process of changing the big hit, a winning / rejecting lottery for the other main game symbol may not be executed. In the case of such a configuration, there is a possibility that the loss change of the other main game symbol is executed a plurality of times while the big hit change of the one main game symbol is changed. Therefore, in the case of such a configuration, the fluctuation time of the other main game symbol which starts to change in a situation where the one main game symbol is changing the big hit is all long (for example, about 250 seconds). When the timer interrupt cycle is 4 ms and a 2-byte timer is used (the maximum number of usable 2-byte timers is 65535), the longest fluctuation time is “65535 × 4 ÷ 1000 ≒ 262 seconds”. ), And the other main game symbol may be forcibly stopped by a loss when the change of the one main game symbol ends and the big hit symbol stops.

  In this example, when one of the main game symbols is stopped and displayed at the big hit symbol, the other main game symbol is forcibly stopped by losing, but is not limited to this. When one of the main game symbols is stopped and displayed at the big hit symbol, the fluctuation of the other main game symbol is temporarily stopped, and after the big hit of the one main game symbol ends, the other main game symbol is stopped. May be configured to restart the fluctuation of the data.

  In this example, when the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol start to change at the same timing, the first main game symbol display process is performed by the second main game symbol display process within the same interrupt. Since the game is executed at a timing before the game symbol display process, when the first main game side has a big hit, the second main game side is determined to be lost.

  Further, in this example, the forcible stop control of the main game symbol corresponding to the case where the other displays the big hit symbol is performed by changing the symbol status of the other main game symbol (especially, whether the symbol status is the big hit symbol stop display). When the second main game symbol that is fluctuating is forcibly stopped by a loss due to the stop of the big hit symbol on the first main game side, the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol are stopped. When the first main game symbol that is changing is stopped by the big hit symbol on the second main game side and stopped forcibly due to a loss, the second main game symbol is stopped for 4 ms ( The first main game symbol is stopped at a timing after the timer interrupt processing cycle). In the case where the second main game side has a big hit, the forced stop processing of the first main game side is delayed, but since it is a very short time of 4 ms, it is difficult for the player to recognize, so the processing program can be simplified. A delay of 4 ms is allowed. The present invention is not limited to this. Control is performed based on the symbol status and the value of the timer value that measures the remaining time of the variable display. For example, the other symbol is the symbol status during the variable display and the remaining time of the timer is displayed. When the time = 0 (in the case of the first main game symbol, the remaining time of the timer of the second main game symbol = 1 [4 ms]), the fluctuation display of the other symbol is a fluctuation display in which a big hit occurs Furthermore, it is also possible to control to forcibly stop and to control to execute the forced stop at the same timing.

  In this example, as described above, the second main game symbol (first main game symbol) is forcibly stopped due to a loss of the big hit symbol on the first main game side (second main game side). In this case, the shortest fluctuation time of the second main game symbol (first main game symbol) is 4 ms (timer interrupt processing cycle), but the second main game symbol (first When the first main game symbol is forcibly stopped due to loss, the symbol is stopped on the sub-control board side at the timing when the second main game symbol (the first main game symbol) is forcibly stopped on the main control board side. A command related to the displayed information is transmitted.

  In addition, in this example, as described above, when one of the main game symbols fluctuates to be a big hit, a specification that does not execute the hit / fail judgment for the other main game symbol that starts to fluctuate later is adopted. Therefore, the acquisition of the right to start the change of one symbol during the change of one hit (occurrence of suspension) may be worthless to the player. Therefore, the display of the change of the big hit in one of the main game symbols is displayed. Is started, when a performance with a high jackpot expectation is displayed (pseudo ream, reach, SP reach, etc.), or when a definitive performance (premier production, etc.) where the big hit becomes almost determinate occurs, etc. A display recommending that the stop of the launch of the game ball be made to the player may be made. In the present example, in the specific game state (probability changing game state, main game time shortened game state, or auxiliary game time shortened game state), the auxiliary game start port or the second main game area is aimed at the right area of the game board. In order to perform a game proceeding mainly with a ball entering the game starting port B (perform a right-handed), after the specific game is over, the state corresponding to the second main game side has been accumulated (remaining). Has become. At this time, if a game aimed at the distribution start port unit C50 is performed in the normal game state (the non-probability changing game state and the non-time shortening game state), the game ball is entered into the second main game start port A. There is a possibility that the winning of the jackpot lottery will not be executed.Therefore, even if the main game is biased to the hold corresponding to one main game, such as after the end of a specific game, it is recommended that the hold disappears or the predetermined number is reached Control may be performed so that the launch position is not notified (such as "return to left-handed"). In the case where the configuration is not such that the distribution starting unit C50 is used as in the present example, when the starting ports corresponding to the first main game and the second main game are configured to be separated by adjusting the firing intensity, It is also possible to notify the player to aim at the starting port corresponding to the main game side with less hold.
