FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a random number table from which various random numbers are acquired in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, where (a) is a jackpot random number table, (b) is a jackpot symbol random number table, and (c) is a reach random number table. (D) is a figure showing an example of a hit random number table, respectively.
In the present embodiment, a special symbol is configured by the jackpot random number acquired by the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 4A and the jackpot symbol random number acquired by the jackpot symbol random number table shown in FIG. 4B. . A normal symbol is composed of normal symbol random numbers acquired from the hit random number table shown in FIG.

In the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 4A, one random number value is acquired from among 300 random numbers from “0” to “299”, for example, at the start opening prize.
In the case of the jackpot random number table shown in FIG. 4A, in the low probability gaming state (normal gaming state), the jackpot ratio is set to 1/300, for example, and the jackpot random number value is “3”. It is determined.
On the other hand, in the high-probability gaming state, the jackpot ratio is set to 10/300, ten times that of the low-probability gaming state, and the acquired jackpot random number values are “3”, “7”, “37”, “67”, “ It is determined that the jackpot is at "97", "127", "157", "187", "217", "247".
Furthermore, in the jackpot random number table, a lottery lottery, which is a type of loss, is also performed. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the ratio of the small hits is set to 3/300, and it is determined that the small hits are obtained when the acquired big hit random numbers are “150”, “200”, and “250”.

Next, in the jackpot symbol random number table shown in FIG. 4B, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249”. And based on the acquired jackpot symbol random number, any one jackpot is determined from a plurality of types of jackpots.
In this embodiment, five jackpots are prepared as a plurality of types of jackpots: per length with normal time, short per hour with normal time, per length with high probability time, short per length with high probability, and short per hour without high probability. ing.

The long win with normal time is a long opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game, it can be expected to pay out a large number of balls, and after the jackpot game ends, the special symbol will change for a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) It is a jackpot that grants a short-term game for a period, and corresponds to the conventional “normal jackpot”.
The short win with a normal time is a period until the special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit game ends, although the opening time of the big winning opening 16 at the time of the big hit game is short and the payout of the outgoing ball can not be expected. This is a jackpot that grants a short-time game, and corresponds to the conventional “sudden jackpot”.

The long win with high probability time is a jackpot that gives both a high probability game and a short time game after the jackpot game ends, as well as a long time to open the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game can be expected to pay out a large number of balls. This corresponds to the conventional “probability jackpot”.
The short win with high probability short-time is a big hit that grants both high-probability games and short-time games after the jackpot game ends, although the opening time of the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game is short and the payout of the ball can not be expected. Is equivalent to
High probability short / short short hit is a big hit that grants a high probability game after the jackpot game ends, although the opening time of the big prize opening 16 at the time of the jackpot game is short and expectation of payout of the ball is not expected. Equivalent to.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, some types of game balls are entered when a game ball enters the first start port 13 and when a game ball enters the electric Chu 14 that is the second start port. The jackpot is configured so that the selected ratio is different.
For example, the ratio of the per unit with the normal time and the short unit with the normal time is the same when the game ball is won at the first start port 13 and when it is won at the electric chew 14, The selected ratio is 35/250 both when the game ball wins the first start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric Chu 14. Similarly, the ratio at which the short win with the normal time is selected is 15/250 both when the game ball wins the first start port 13 and when the game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, if the jackpot symbol random number acquired at the time of winning the first start opening or the electric chew is “0” to “34”, the normal per short length is selected. , “35” to “49”, the short hit with the normal time is selected.

On the other hand, the rate at which the per unit with high probability and the short unit with high probability is selected differs depending on whether the game ball has won the first start port 13 or the electric chew 14, for example, high probability The rate at which the winning length is selected is 25/250 when a game ball wins the first start port 13 and 175/250 when a game ball wins the electric chew 14.
In addition, the rate at which the short win with high probability is selected is 75/250 when a game ball wins the first start port 13 and 25/250 when a game ball wins the electric chew 14.
Further, the rate at which the high probability short / short short win is selected is 100/250 only when a game ball wins the first start port 13.
Specifically, if the jackpot symbol random number acquired when the game ball is won at the first start opening is “50” to “74”, the long chance with a high probability time is selected, and “75” to “149” If there is, a short hit with high probability is selected, and if it is “150” to “249”, a short hit without high probability is selected.
On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol random number acquired when the game ball is won by the electric chew is “50” to “224”, the long probability with a short time is selected, and if it is “225” to “249”. A short chance with a short time with high probability is selected.

Comparing the types of jackpots selected at the time of winning the first start opening and at the time of winning the electric chew, the ratio per long length with high probability is 25/250 when winning the first starting opening, At the time of winning a prize, the ratio per length with a high probability of shortening is 175/250, and at the time of winning an electric-chu prize, the ratio of selecting per length with a high probability of shortening is higher.
With this configuration, when transitioning to a gaming state in which the winning rate of game balls to electric Chu is high, there is a high probability of winning consecutively per length with a high probability of shortening the time, so a large number of balls will be acquired Can be expected and can achieve a sharp game.

  In addition, at the time of winning the first start opening, the ratio of high probability short / short short is 100/250, while at high power winning, the high probability short / short short hit is not selected. This is because the game ball wins the electric Chu mainly when the gaming state is advantageous when the player is in the short-time gaming state. In such a case, the short-time game ends and the game state is shifted to a disadvantageous game for the player. In other words, despite having won the jackpot, the gaming state with a short time shifts to a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player, that is, a gaming state without a short time. For this reason, at the time of winning an electric chew, it is possible to prevent the player from shifting to a gaming state that is unfavorable to the player by not selecting short wins with high probability.

  In the reach random number table shown in FIG. 4C, one random number value is acquired from 250 random numbers from “0” to “249” at the time of starting winning, and the acquired reach random number value is “0”. ”To“ 21 ”, and reach is determined, and when the acquired reach random number value is“ 22 ”to“ 249 ”, it is determined that there is no reach.

Further, in the hit random number table for drawing the random numbers of the normal symbols shown in FIG. 4D, when the game ball passes through the gate, one random number value is selected from ten random numbers from “0” to “9”. To be acquired.
And in the low-probability gaming state in which both the short-time flag and the high-accuracy flag are OFF, or in the high-probability short-timeless gaming state in which the short-time flag is OFF and the high-accuracy flag is ON, only when the acquired winning random number is “7” Judgment is successful.
On the other hand, in the low probability short-time gaming state in which the short-time flag is ON and the high-accuracy flag is OFF, or in the high-probability short-time gaming state in which both the short-time flag and the high-accuracy flag are ON, the acquired hit random numbers are “0” to When it is “9”, it is determined to be a hit.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment configured as described above, a big hit random number, a big hit symbol random number, a reach random number, etc. on the game control board 111 when the game ball to the upper start port 13 or the electric chew 14 wins a prize. Lottery of game data. And when it is determined that the big win or the small win has been won, the special symbols on the first or second special symbol indicators 21 and 22 are stopped and displayed at a specific winning symbol, so that the above long hit, short hit, Alternatively, any hit game of small hits is executed.
Further, the game control board 111 performs lottery of a variation pattern random number for determining the variation time of the special symbol simultaneously with the lottery of the jackpot random number, jackpot symbol random number, and reach random number as the game data. Then, based on the variation pattern random number acquired by lottery, the variation time of the special symbol to be variably displayed on the first or second special symbol display 21 or 22 is set.
Furthermore, the game control board 111 transmits a variation start command including jackpot information, jackpot symbol information, reach information, variation pattern information and the like to the effect control board 121 at a predetermined timing.

On the other hand, when the effect control board 121 receives the change start command from the game control board 111, the effect control board 121 analyzes the received change start command. And based on the analysis result, in order to select the variation production pattern for setting the production time of the game production, to determine the game production corresponding to the fluctuation production pattern by lottery, and to execute the decided game production Set the change production start command.
Thereby, the image control board 131 executes display control for displaying the effect image and the design image corresponding to the change effect start command on the image display 11, and the lamp control board 141 performs the frame lamp 145 corresponding to the change effect start command. Then, control of the panel lamp 146, the production actor 147, etc. is executed.

In addition, the effect control board 121 displays an image of the change effect pattern determined based on the change start command from the game control board 111 and the result of the effect lottery corresponding to the change effect pattern as a player participation type effect selection screen. Display control to be displayed on the device 11 can be executed.
The player participation type effect selection screen refers to an effect selection screen that displays a selection effect as if the player has selected a subsequent game effect by operating the operation button 104. Note that the selection effect selected on the player participation type selection screen may be determined based on the operation timing at which the player operates the operation button 104, or the player operates the operation button 104. It may be determined in advance regardless of the timing.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 of this embodiment, as the player participation type effect selection screen, the player operates the operation button 104 a plurality of times at a predetermined timing, so that the game is played in stages from the effect selection screen. It is characterized in that it can be configured to display an effect as if an effect was selected.

Hereinafter, a player participation type effect selection screen that can be displayed on the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, when a player participation type production selection screen is selected, the display screen of the image display 11 has a first selection screen 31 as shown in FIG. indicate.
The 1st selection screen 31 shown to Fig.5 (a) is comprised by five effect small screen groups 32a-32e, for example. The effect small screen groups 32a to 32e are each composed of five effect small screens 42a to 42e for notifying the game effect.
In this case, the effect small screen group 32a has, for example, two effect small screens (screens displayed as “A” in FIG. 5) 42b and 42d for announcing a game effect with a high jackpot expectation level and a game effect with a low jackpot expectation level. Is composed of three effect small screens 42a, 42c, and 42e. Similarly, the effect small screen groups 32b to 32e are respectively provided with 1, 3, 0, and 5 effect small screens for announcing a game effect with a high expectation degree of jackpot.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, a button image 33 that prompts the player to press the chance button 19 of the effect button 104 is displayed with the first selection screen 31 displayed.
Here, when the player actually presses the chance button 19, any one of the small effect screen groups 32 a to 32 e constituting the first selection screen 31 is selected. FIG. 5C shows that the effect small screen group 32 c has been selected from the first selection screen 31, for example.

When the effect small screen group 32c is selected, a second selection screen 41 as shown in FIG. 5D is displayed on the display screen of the image display 11.
The second selection screen 41 shown in FIG. 5D is configured by five effect small screens 42a to 42e that constitute the effect small screen group 32c. Accordingly, the second selection screen 41 includes three effect small screens 42a, 42c, and 42e for announcing a game effect with a high jackpot expectation level, and two effect small screens 42b and 42d for announcing a game effect with a low jackpot expectation level. It is comprised by.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5E, a button image 33 that prompts the user to press the chance button 19 again is displayed with the second selection screen 41 displayed. Here, when the player actually presses the chance button 19, any one effect small screen is selected from the five effect small screens 42 a to 42 e constituting the second selection screen 41. FIG. 5F shows that the effect small screen 41c has been selected from the second selection screen 41, for example.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the first selection screen 31 including the plurality of effect small screen groups 32a to 32e is displayed as the player participation type selection screen. When the player operates the chance button 19 during the display period in which the button image 33 that prompts the user to press the chance button 19 is displayed on the first selection screen 31, the plurality of effect small screen groups 32a to 32e are displayed. Any one of the small effect small screen groups is selected, and the second selection screen 41 including the plurality of small effect screens 42a to 42e constituting the selected small effect screen group is displayed. When the player operates the chance button 19 again during the display period in which the button image 33 is displayed again on the second selection screen 41, any one of the plurality of small effect screens 42a to 42e is selected. The effect small screen is selected, and the subsequent effect image is determined based on the selected effect small screen.

  In the conventional player participation type selection screen, the player operates the chance button 19 once to determine a subsequent effect image. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the player operates the chance button 19 twice to determine a subsequent effect image. That is, a subsequent effect image is determined by performing a two-step selection operation on the effect selection screen. As a result, variations of the player participation type selection screen can be increased, and the player's interest in the player participation type selection screen can be enhanced.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since it is comprised so that the big hit expectation may differ for every production small screen group 32a-32e which comprises the 1st selection screen 31, a player is in production small screen group 32a-32e. From the above, it is possible to further enhance the interest when the chance button 19 is pressed to select any one of the production small screen groups.
Similarly, since the jackpot expectation is different for each of the effect small screens 42a to 42e constituting the second selection screen 41, the player can select any one effect from the effect small screens 42a to 42e. The interest when pressing the chance button 19 to select a small screen can be further enhanced. In addition, in order to configure so that the degree of expectation of jackpot differs for each effect small screen group, the jackpot expectation included in the effect small screens 41a to 41e constituting each effect small screen group 32a to 32e as in the present embodiment. What is necessary is just to change the number of high performance production small screens.

  Moreover, although this embodiment gave and demonstrated as an example the case where the effect small screens 42a-42e were set to two types, the effect small screen with high expectation degree of jackpot, and the effect small screen with low expectation degree of jackpot, it demonstrated. Needless to say, the small screens may be set to three or more types having different jackpot expectations.

  Further, when the game control board 121 selects the player participation type effect selection screen, if it is determined that the game control board 111 has won the jackpot, the game control board 121 expects the jackpot from the effect selection screen. By configuring so that the ratio of selecting high performance small screens is high and associating the actual jackpot win with the jackpot expectation level of the game production selected on the production selection screen, the player's interest is further increased Can be increased.

In the present embodiment, as an example of the player participation type selection screen, the two-step selection in which the player determines the subsequent effect image by operating the chance button 19 twice has been described as an example. Then, the player may determine the subsequent effect image by operating the chance button 19 three times or more.
In the present embodiment, as a display form of the player participation type selection screen, a so-called multi-screen that displays a plurality of effect small screens has been described as an example. However, this is merely an example, and the player has a chance. Any configuration may be used as long as the game effect can be selected by operating the button 19 or the like a plurality of times.

  Hereinafter, processing executed by the game control device to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.

In this case, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the first start port SW13a of the first start port 13 is on (S201), and if it is determined that the first start port SW13a is on, the first start port It is determined whether or not the number of holds U1 of the mouth SW 13a is less than “4” (S202).
If it is determined that the reserved number U1 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U1 (S203). Thereafter, the jackpot random number for the special symbol, the jackpot symbol random number, the reach random number and the like are acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S204). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the first special symbol holding lamp 24, a first holding number increase command is set (S205). If a negative result is obtained in step S202, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U1 is “4” which is the maximum holdable number, the process of steps S203 to S205 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S206.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the second start port SW14a of the electric Chu 14 is on (S206). If it is determined that the second start port SW14a is on, the second start port SW14a is determined. It is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 is less than “4” (S207). If it is determined that the reserved number U2 is smaller than “4”, “1” is added to the reserved number U2 (S208). Thereafter, the jackpot random number for the special symbol, the jackpot symbol random number, the reach random number, and the like are acquired and stored in the RAM 114 (S209). Next, in order to increase the holding number of the second special symbol holding lamp 25, a second holding number increase command is set (S210), and the start port SW process is terminated.
If a negative result is obtained in step S207, that is, if it is determined that the hold number U2 is “4”, which is the maximum holdable number, the start port SW process is terminated.

[Gate SW processing]

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON, that is, whether or not the jackpot game is being played (S311). If it is determined that the jackpot game is not being played, the first special symbol indicator 21 or the second 2. It is determined whether or not the special symbol on the special symbol display 22 is changing (S312). If it is determined that the special symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the reserved number U2 of the second starting port SW14a to be preferentially digested is greater than “1” (S313). If it is determined that there are more than “1”, “1” is subtracted from the reserved number U2 (S314).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S313 that the reserved number U2 is not ≧ 1, that is, if the reserved number U2 is “0”, then whether or not the reserved number U1 of the first start port SW13a is larger than “1”. Is determined (S315), and if it is determined that the reserved number U1 is greater than "1", the reserved number U1 is decremented by "1" (S316).

Next, if the customer waiting flag is ON, the CPU 112 turns OFF (S317), and then executes a jackpot determination process described later (S318). After the big hit determination process is executed, a later-described variation pattern selection process is executed (S319). After execution of the variation pattern selection process, the variation of the corresponding first special symbol display 21 or second special symbol display 22 is started and a variation start command is set (S320, S321).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the variation time of the first or second special symbol has passed the predetermined variation time (S322). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, The fluctuation of the special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is stopped and a predetermined special symbol is displayed (S323). Thereafter, a change stop command is set (S324), a stop process (S325) described later is executed, and the special symbol process is ended.

If it is determined in step S311 that the winning game flag is ON, or if it is determined in step S322 that the variation time of the special symbol has not reached the predetermined variation time, the special symbol processing is terminated.
If it is determined in step S312 that the special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S322, and it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has passed a predetermined variation time.
If it is determined in step S316 that the number of holdings U1 is not ≧ 1, that is, if it is determined that there is no holding of the holding numbers U1 and U2, it is executed in a customer waiting setting process described later (S326). The process ends.

[Big hit judgment processing]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot determination process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines the jackpot random number stored in the RAM 114 (S331), and determines whether or not it is a jackpot in the subsequent step S332. Here, when it is determined that the jackpot, the jackpot symbol random number stored in the RAM 114 is determined (S333), and the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set based on the determination result. The jackpot symbol to be set is set (S334), and the jackpot determination process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S332 that the jackpot is not a big hit, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is based on the big hit random number (S335). Here, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined, a bonus game set to the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set (S336), and the jackpot determination process is terminated. If it is determined in step S335 that the game is not a small hit, a lost symbol to be set on the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 is set (S337), and the big hit determination process is terminated.

[Variation pattern selection processing]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern selection process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the jackpot symbol (S341), and if the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot, sets the jackpot table in the RAM 114 (S342).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S341 that it is not a big hit, then a reach random number is determined (S343), and it is determined whether or not it is a reach (S344). If it is determined that the reach is reached, the reach table is set in the RAM 114 (S345). If it is determined in step S344 that it is not reach, the loss table is set in the RAM 114 (S346).

[Processing while stopped]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the stop process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S351), and if it is determined that the time reduction flag is ON, the CPU 112 sets “1” from the remaining time J of the time reduction game stored in the RAM 114. Subtraction is performed (S352).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count J is “0” (S353). If the remaining game count J is “0”, the special symbol variation display is performed a predetermined number of times in the short-time game. Since this means that it has been performed (for example, 100 times), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S354). If it is determined in step S351 that the time reduction flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S353 that the remaining game number J is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S355.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the high-accuracy flag is ON (S355). If it is determined that the high-accuracy flag is ON, the remaining number of games of the high-probability game stored in the RAM 114 is determined. “1” is subtracted from X (S356).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the remaining game count X is “0” (S357). If the remaining game count X is “0”, a special symbol variation display is predetermined in the high-probability game. Since this means that the number of times (for example, 10,000 times) has been performed, the high-accuracy flag is turned OFF (S358). If it is determined in step S355 that the high-accuracy flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S357 that the remaining game number X is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S359.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot is based on the special symbol set on the first special symbol display 21 or the second special symbol display 22 (S359). Next, it is determined whether or not the set special symbol is “small hit” (S360). If it is determined that the bonus symbol is a small hit, the small hit game flag is turned ON (S361). . Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started, a jackpot opening command is set (S362, S363), and the stop process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S360 that it is not a small hit, the variable stop process is terminated without turning on the small hit game flag.
If it is determined in step 359 that the jackpot is a jackpot, it is next determined whether or not the jackpot is a jackpot (S364). If it is determined that the jackpot is a jackpot, the name wins the game flag. If it is not ON (S365), the short hit flag is set ON (S366). Thereafter, the remaining number of games J for the short-time game and the remaining number X for the high-probability game are each set to “0”, and the remaining number of games J / X is reset (S367). It is turned off (S368). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S362.

[Customer waiting setting process]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a customer waiting setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON (S371). If it is determined that the waiting flag is ON, the customer waiting setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S371 that the waiting flag is not ON, a customer waiting command is set and the customer waiting flag is turned ON (S372, S373), and the customer waiting setting process is terminated.

[Normal pattern processing]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of normal symbol processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S381). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, the normal symbol process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S381 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S382). Here, when it is determined that the normal symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the gate passing number G of the gate SW 15a is larger than “1” (S383), and the gate passing number G is larger than “1”. 1 subtracts “1” from the number of times of gate passage (S384), and if it is determined that the number of times of gate passage G is not greater than “1”, that is, “0”, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, the CPU 112 determines a normal random number per symbol (S385), and sets a stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 23 and a variation time (S386, S387).
Here, for example, it is conceivable that the variation time is set to 4.0 seconds if the hour / hour flag is OFF, and 1.5 seconds if the hour / hour flag is ON.

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed (S389). If it is determined that the predetermined variation time has elapsed, the CPU 112 stops the variation (S390), If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the normal symbol processing is terminated.
Next, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is a winning symbol (S391). If the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (S392), and the normal symbol processing is terminated. If the stop symbol is not a winning symbol in step S391, the normal symbol processing is terminated without turning on the auxiliary game flag.
If it is determined in step S382 that the normal symbol is changing, the process proceeds to step S389, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol variation time has passed a predetermined variation time.

[Large winning prize processing]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the big prize opening process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (S411). If it is determined that the jackpot game flag is ON, the CPU 112 determines whether or not it is opening (S412). If it is determined that the jackpot opening is in progress, it is then determined whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S413). If it is determined that the opening time has elapsed, the number of rounds (number of Rs) / operation pattern is set (S414).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of setting of the number of rounds / actuation pattern. When the jackpot is per long, the number of rounds (R number) is 15R, the action pattern in 1R is 29.5 seconds open × Set once. If the big hit is a short hit, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R, the operating pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 second open x 1 time. As in the case of winning, the number of rounds (R number) is set to 15R and the operating pattern in 1R is set to 0.1 second opening × 1 time.

Next, the CPU 112 sets “0” to the number counter C1 indicating the number of winnings per round to the big winning opening 16, and adds “1” to the value of the number of rounds R (S415, S416). Thereafter, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is started. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the closed state to the open state (S417).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has passed the predetermined operating time (S418), and if it is determined that the operating time has not passed the predetermined time, It is determined whether or not the value of the counter C has reached the specified number (S419).
Here, when it is determined that the value of the number counter C is the specified number C, the operation of the special winning opening 16 is ended. That is, the special winning opening 16 is changed from the open state to the closed state (S420).
On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the number counter C has not reached the specified number, the big prize opening process is terminated.
In step S418, if the operating time of the special winning opening 16 has exceeded the predetermined operating time, the process of step S419 is skipped, and the number of the special winning opening 16 is checked without checking the number of the number counter C. The operation is terminated (S420).

Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the jackpot round number is the maximum round number R. That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit round is the final round (S421).
Here, when it is determined that the jackpot round is the final round, ending is started and an ending command is set (S422, S423).
Next, the CPU 112 sets the value of the number of rounds R to “0” (S424). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the ending time has passed (S425). If it is determined that the ending time has passed, a game state setting process described later is executed (S426), and the jackpot flag is turned OFF ( S427), the big prize opening process is terminated.

In step S412, if it is determined that the jackpot opening is not in progress, it is determined whether or not ending is in progress (S428). If it is determined that ending is in progress, the process proceeds to step S425 and is not in ending. Is determined, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening is in operation (S429).
If it is determined that the special winning opening 16 is in operation, the process proceeds to step S418. If it is determined that the special winning opening 16 is not in operation, the process proceeds to step S415.
If it is determined in step S413 that the opening time has not elapsed, or if it is determined in step S419 that the value of the number counter C1 has not reached the specified number, in step S421, the big hit round is not the final round. If it is determined, or if it is determined in step S425 that the ending time has not elapsed, the special winning opening process is terminated.

[Game state setting process]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of a game state setting process executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 first determines whether or not it is a small hit (S431), and if it is determined that it is a small hit, the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not a small hit, it is next determined whether or not it is a normal length (per length with a low probability) (S432). Is set to ON, and for example, “100” is set to the remaining game count J of the short-time game (S433, S434), and the gaming state setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S432 that it is not a normal long win, it is a big hit to give a high-probability game. Set (S435, S436).
Next, it is determined whether or not the hit is with a short time (S437). If it is determined that the win is with a short time, the time flag is set to ON and the remaining game count J of the short time game is set to, for example, “ 100 "is set (S438, S439), and the gaming state setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S437 that the time-shortening is not reached, the time-shortening flag is turned OFF, the remaining game count J of the time-shortening game is reset (S440, S441), and the game state setting process is terminated.

[Den Chu processing]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of electric chew processing executed by the CPU of the game control board.
The CPU 112 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S511). If it is determined that the auxiliary game flag is ON, it is next determined whether or not the electric chew 14 is operating. This is performed (S512). Here, if the electric chew 14 is not in operation, the operation pattern of the electric chew 14 is set according to the gaming state (S513), and the operation of the electric chew 14 is started (S514).
Next, the CPU 112 determines whether or not the operation time of the electric chew 14 has passed a predetermined operation time (S515). If it is determined that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has elapsed, an auxiliary game flag is set. It is turned off (S516), and the electric Chu process is terminated.
Here, the operating time of the electric Chu 14 to be set is set to, for example, 0.15 second release × 1 when the hourly flag is OFF, and 1.80 second release × 3 when the hourly flag is ON. It is possible. If it is determined in step S512 that the electric chew 14 is operating, the process proceeds to step S515. If it is determined in step S511 that the auxiliary game flag is not ON, or if it is determined in step S515 that the operation time of the electric chew 14 has not elapsed, the electric chew process is terminated.

Next, processing executed by the effect control board 121 will be described.
[Timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU of the effect control board. Note that the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 19 can be realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.
In this case, the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executes a command reception process (S610), an effect button process (S620), a command transmission process (S630), and the like as the timer interrupt process.

  Next, an example of main processing executed by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 as timer interrupt processing will be described. Note that the processing described below can also be realized by the CPU 122 of the effect control board 121 executing a program stored in the ROM 123.

[Command reception processing]
FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of command reception processing.
In this case, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a hold number increase command has been received (S701). If it is determined that a hold number increase command has been received, the CPU 122 adds a hold number (S702). Then, after adding the hold number, a hold number command is set (S703).
Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not a variation start command has been received (S704). If it is determined that a variation start command has been received, an effect selection process is executed (S705).
Then, after the effect selection process is completed, it is determined whether or not a change stop command has been received next (S706). If it is determined in step S704 that the variation start command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S706 without performing the effect selection process.

Next, when determining in step S706 that the variable stop command has been received, the CPU 122 analyzes the variable stop command (S707). Based on the analysis result, the CPU 122 changes various modes such as a mode flag (not shown). After performing the processing, a variation effect end command is set (S708).
Next, in step S709, the CPU 122 executes an opening command reception process. In the opening command reception process, a winning effect selection process is executed when an opening command is received.
Next, in step S710, the CPU 122 executes an ending command reception process. In the ending command reception process, an ending effect selection process is executed when an ending command is received.
Next, in step S711, the CPU 122 executes customer waiting command reception processing. In the customer waiting command reception process, the customer waiting process is executed when a customer waiting command is received. After the customer waiting command reception process, the command reception process is terminated.

[Direction selection process]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect selection process.
In this case, the CPU 122 first analyzes the change start command and effects lottery (S721, S722).
Next, the CPU 122 determines whether or not the game effect determined by the analysis result of the change start command and the effect lottery is a game effect using a player participation type effect selection screen (S723). When it is determined that the game effect uses the type effect selection screen, an effect selection screen display process is executed (S724). Thereafter, a variation effect start command corresponding to the variation effect pattern selected in the effect selection screen display process described later is set (S726). After the change effect start command set, the hold number subtraction is performed in step S727, and the effect selection process is terminated.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S723 that the game effect is not a game effect using the player participation type effect selection screen, the game determined by the analysis result of the change start command and the effect lottery from the normally used change effect pattern table. A variation effect pattern corresponding to the effect is selected (S725), and a change effect start command corresponding to the variation effect pattern selected in step S726 is set. After the change effect start command set, the hold number subtraction is performed in step S727, and the effect selection process is terminated.

[Production selection screen display processing]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect selection screen display process.
In this case, the CPU 122 first sets a first selection screen display command in order to display the first selection screen on the image display 11 (S731).
Next, the CPU 122 enables the chance button 19 at a predetermined timing for a predetermined period (S732). Next, it is determined whether or not the chance button command has been set (S733). If it is determined that the chance button command has been set, the second display screen is displayed to display the second selection screen on the image display 11 next. The selection screen display command is set (S734).
Next, the CPU 122 activates the chance button 19 again at a predetermined timing for a predetermined period (S735). Next, it is determined whether or not the chance button command is set (S736). If it is determined that the chance button command is set, in step S737, the first variation effect pattern table is set. In subsequent step S739, a variation effect pattern is selected from the first variation effect pattern table based on the analysis result of the variation start command performed in the previous step S721, and the effect selection screen display process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S733 or S736 that the chance button command is not set, the second variation effect pattern table is set in step S738, and the variation effect pattern table is changed from the second variation effect pattern table in step S739. The pattern is selected and the effect selection screen display process is terminated. At this time, if the second variation effect pattern table is composed only of the variation effect pattern with a low expectation degree of jackpot, if the player does not operate the chance button 19, it will always be regardless of the analysis result of the change start command. Since a variation production pattern with a low jackpot expectation is selected, it becomes possible to actively participate in the participation type game production.

[Direction button processing]
FIG. 23 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect button process.
In this case, the CPU 122 determines whether or not the chance button 19 is in a valid effective period (S901). If it is determined that the chance button 19 is in a valid period, whether or not the chance button 19 is on next is determined. Is determined (S902), and if it is determined that the chance button 19 is ON, a chance button command is set (S903).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S901 that the period is not valid, the effect button process is terminated without setting the chance button command.
