The automatic catering program P5 can determine the symbols of the 14 bags required at the start of the game, for example, by performing the following process.
(A) The spider used in the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention has a total of 108 spiders, 27 kinds of spears, excluding cords from two ropes to eight ropes. Therefore, as shown in Table 1, symbol codes (hexadecimal numbers) are assigned to 27 types of spider symbols, and a total of 108 symbols composed of 27 types each have a numerical value from 0 to 107. The assigned data table is registered in the ROM 40 in advance.
(A) The automatic layout program P4 includes, for example, a random number generation program that generates a 5-digit random number. Then, the automatic layout program P4 divides the 5-digit random number generated by the random number generation program by 108 and calculates the remainder. Subsequently, with reference to Table 1, the symbol code of the bag corresponding to the remainder value is obtained from 01H to 1BH and determined as the symbol to which this symbol code is arranged.
(C) The above-mentioned process (a) is carried out 14 times in total, and the 14 symbols required at the start of the game are determined. In addition, it is necessary to add the program which performs a randomization process so that a different random number may be generated each time to the program which generates this 5-digit random number. The 14 symbol codes determined by such processing are stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42. The 14 pieces of layout data stored in the manual storage area are sorted and stored in ascending order of symbol codes.

  The special game combination lottery program P6 is a program for determining, by lottery, a combination of winning combinations that can acquire a special game right for each game from among predetermined combinations. For example, the winning combination that can acquire the right of the big game is determined by lottery by selecting one of the three winning combinations of “Daisangyuan”, “Kokushi Musou”, and “Nine consecutive treasures”.

  In addition, there are six kinds of uplifting points that can acquire chance game rights, for example, “Ippontsu”, “Seven Pairs”, “Three Darks”, “Peace”, “Ichiguchi”, “Tang Yao” Two types from the rising role are decided by lottery. The method of determining the winning combination that can acquire the special game right by lottery can be determined by generating a random number of a predetermined number of digits by program processing and storing it in the RAM 42, and using this random number. The dora lottery program P7 is a program for determining the front and back dora by lottery in the same manner at the start of the game.

  The winning determination program P8 is a combination of rising combinations in which a hand is set in advance when 14 hands are determined by the automatic layout program P5 described above, and when the player performs his own operation. It is a program for judging whether or not. As the winning combination, the data table shown in Table 2, that is, the rising winning code (the rising winning code is not displayed in Table 2) and the score that the player can obtain for the rising winning combination (Number of acquired medals) is stored in advance in the winning determination program P8 or the ROM 41. If the winning determination program P8 determines that the current winning combination has been completed, the control command for completing the rising combination, the code for the rising combination, the score obtained, etc. A process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the control board Kb is performed.

  When a signal indicating that a game ball has entered the attacker 9 is input to the attacker 9 in the game that has acquired the special game right, the self-selection selection support program P9 is self-restrained by the screen of the display device 14 and the interactive method. This is a program for supporting the operation of selecting the symbol of the frog to be performed.

  It should be noted that the symbol data of the discarded trash displayed on the discarded trash display portion 34 is stored in the discarded trash storage area of the RAM 42 in the sub-control board Kb. The discarding symbol data is data relating to the discarding symbol that was discarded at the end of one game by a predetermined discarding operation using the discarding button 16a, 16b,.

  Here, the storage state of the RAM 42 in the sub-control board Kb in the discarded storage area will be described with reference to FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, in each address in the above-mentioned throwing away memory area, the final throwing away symbol data for each game is the final throwing away symbol data before one game, and the final discarding symbol data before two games. 3 final game discard data before 3 games, 12 final game discard data before 12 games, 13 final game discard data before game, and 14 final game discard data before game 14 ing. Then, at the point of time when the storage of the discarded discard symbol data for all of the discarded discard storage areas is completed, control is performed so that the discarded discard symbol data of the oldest game in terms of time is erased. As a result, the limited storage capacity of the discarded storage area of the RAM 42 can be used effectively. It should be noted that the discarded design data can be configured to be initialized after execution of the special effect.

The special effect execution program P25 performs a special effect based on the determination result of the throwing away determination program P26 (discarding determination unit).

  In the throwing away judgment program P26, the throwing away symbol data stored in the throwing away storage area in the RAM 42 of the sub-control board Kb as the disposal throwing symbol data storage means is preset at a predetermined timing at the end of one game. It is determined whether or not the throwing-out symbol data for performance determination.

  The main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka has executed the winning determination program P8 to complete the rising combination when the player fires a game ball and performs self-control and the number of hands is 14 Determine whether or not. If the player does not complete the winning combination, each time the player performs an operation of discarding one unnecessary piece from the 14 pieces, it is stored in the table storage area. Then, the 13 design codes of the handle are transmitted to the sub-control board Kb together with the control command. When transmitted to the sub-control board Kb in this way, the 13 hand code symbols are sorted in ascending order. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the above-mentioned 13 manual symbol codes, the sub-board operation control program P21 stores the received data in the RAM 42 and then moves up to the wrinkle determination program P24. Then, the rising eye determination program P24 sequentially operates the hearing pattern determination program P241, the rising eye type determination program P242, and the rising eye determination extraction program P243.

  The rising haze determination extraction program P243 determines and extracts by a predetermined process, transmits all of the rising haze symbol codes stored in the RAM 42 to the image control board Kc together with the control command, and sends it to the image control board Kc. When the control for displaying the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the rising salmon is performed, the image control board Kc raises the symbol of the symbol symbol of the received salmon when it receives the symbol code of the salmon. It is displayed on the rising wrinkle display unit 31 as a wrinkle candidate (see FIG. 7). At this time, sound may be output from the speaker 6. A player who is eager to play mahjong can look at this display and launch a game ball aiming at the entrance corresponding to the kite that can complete the rising role.

The process which outputs the audio | voice and sound effect for a speaker from the speaker 6 is performed. The outline of the processing contents of these programs will be described below.

  The image board operation control program P31 is a program that decodes various control commands transmitted from the sub control board Kb and controls the execution of the above programs in response to these control commands. The screen display program P32 is a program for performing processing for displaying an image, numerical information, and the like on the display device 14 based on the control command transmitted from the sub-control board Kb and its control data, and the normal game screen display program P321. And a special game screen display program P322. The normal game screen display program P321 is a variety of effect images displayed on the display device 14 and various types of support for the player when the player is playing a normal game since the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on. It is a program which performs the process which displays the image of this. The normal game screen display program P321 further includes an initial effect display program P3211 and a game effect display program P3212 as subprograms.

  The game effect display program P3212 is composed of a program for displaying a screen having contents as shown in FIG. For example, as the game progresses, each time the player performs a throw-in operation, or in the case of a normal game game, the self-control operation by launching a game ball, etc., the main control board Ka passes through the sub-control board Kb. Based on the control command and the control data transmitted in this manner, FIG. 7 shows the current hand symbol, the discard symbol, and the symbol of the kite that has been determined to have been transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. The program is provided with various display means such as a display process, a process of displaying the score obtained when the rising combination is completed, and the like.

  The special game screen display program P322 is a program for performing processing for displaying various effect screens when the player acquires the right of special game. The special game screen display program P322 further includes a right acquisition effect display program P3221 and a self-candidate candidate selection support program P3222 for effect display when the player has completed a winning combination that allows the player to acquire special game rights. ing.

  The sound / sound effect output program P41 is for outputting various effect sounds and sound effects from the speaker 6 as the game progresses based on the control command and its control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. It is a program.

  A program for controlling the operation of each of the control boards Ka, Kb, and Kc is developed using an assembler language, C language, Visual Basic language, or the like, and is a machine language program that can be executed by the CPU 40 of each board. The translated program is stored in the ROM 41 of each control board Ka, Kb, Kc.

  Subsequently, an outline of the game procedure of the above-described sparrow ball gaming machine 1 and the processing of each program accompanying this procedure will be described. One game (game) starts when a player inserts a medal into the medal slot 15, presses the game start button 24, and the automatic layout program P5 distributes 14 hands. Then, one game progresses in accordance with the control of each program that is operated based on input signals and control signals generated from various operation buttons and sensors such as the throw-away buttons 16a,.

  First, when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka sets the initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub control board Kb, and the sub control board Kb initializes this. Control commands are transmitted to the image control board Kc. When the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc receive this initialization control command, the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc initialize the storage area of the RAM 42 in the board Kc, and the initial effect display program P3211 mounted on the image control board Kc Processing such as displaying an effect screen when ON, for example, a landscape screen on the display device 14 is performed.

  When the sub control board Kb receives this initialization control command when the power is turned on, the sub board operation control program P21 stores various image data and sound stored in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb as described above. The sound effect data is transmitted to the image control board Kc, and the image board operation control program P31 of the image control board Kc performs a process of storing the received image and sound / sound effect data in the RAM 42.

  When the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot 15 and the main board operation control program P1 detects the medal insertion signal, the medal management program P3 performs a process of adding “1” to the medal storage number. Subsequently, when the player presses the game start button 24 and the main board operation control program P1 detects a game start signal from the game start button 24, a game of one game can be started. Then, the main board operation control program P1 transmits a game start control command to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. Based on this control command, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays an effect image at the start of the game on the display device 14 and outputs sound from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P41. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine starts.

  Subsequently, under the control of the main board operation control program P1, the automatic layout program P5 is activated to automatically determine the 14 layout patterns necessary for starting the game by program processing. The automatic layout program P5 sequentially stores the 14 symbol codes automatically allocated in the manual storage area of the RAM 42, and then, in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order of symbol codes, that is, insulator, tube, cord , Wind tiles, and ternary tiles are sorted in order (stored) and stored in the manual storage area.

  Subsequently, the automatic layout program P5 transmits the 14 distributed symbol codes together with the control command to the sub-control board Kb. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives this distributed symbol code, it stores it in the RAM 42 and transmits these 14 distributed symbol codes to the image control board Kc.

  The sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb uses the disclosed number table to display the number of bags disclosed at the current game place for the 14 game symbols transmitted from the main control board Ka. Process to count. Further, when the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc receives the 14 design codes, the game design display program P3212 displays an image of the design shown in FIG. Processing to display on the display unit 36 is performed. While the 14 automatic arrangements have not been determined, the backside of the cocoon or a non-displayed design is displayed as an initial screen on the manual display unit 35 and the self-displaying unit 36 that displays the self-displayed design. Process to display.

  Subsequently, the special game combination lottery program P6 (which operates when a normal game is being played) and the Dora lottery program P7 are activated, and the winning combination (big The game role) and the chance game right can be acquired (chance game role), and the front and back dramas are determined. Then, each data (coded data) of the big game rising combination and the chance game rising combination, front and back games determined by the processing of these programs P6 and P7 (coded data) is sub-control board Kb To the image control board Kc.

  When the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the code of the rising combination that can acquire the big game combination and the chance game combination, and the design code of the front and back dramas, as shown in FIG. A process of displaying the chance game combination on the big game rising combination display unit 32, the chance increase combination display unit 33, and the front drum on the front drum display unit 29 is performed.

  The main board operation control program P1 starts the game on the display device 14 when the control to display the 14 symbols of the game, the big game combination, the chance game combination, the front drama etc. on the display device 14 is completed. Processing to inform the player that the conditions are complete is displayed on the screen or by voice. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to perform a process of determining whether or not the 14 hands that have been automatically arranged have already completed the winning combination. If the winning combination is completed in this determination process, the winning determination program P8 determines the predetermined rising combination and the score (number of acquired medals) that the player can acquire (Table 2). Determine with reference to the data. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 transmits the winning combination, the score obtained, and the like to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives the winning combination and the acquired score, the game effect display program P3212 displays the rising combination, the acquired score, and other effect images on the display device 14 for a predetermined time. Perform the process.

  On the other hand, if the 14 symbols of the automatically arranged baskets are not completed and the winning combination is not completed, the main board operation control program P1 is an operation of throwing away one unnecessary basket from the manuals to the player. A control command for performing screen display for prompting is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives this control command, the game effect display program P3212 performs a process of displaying a message on the display device 14 for prompting an operation of discarding one unnecessary bag from the table. At this time, the voice / sound effect output program P41 may be operated to perform a process of prompting together with the voice.

  Subsequently, the player performs an operation of selecting a throwing-in trash from the symbols of the cocoon displayed on the hand-held display unit 35 and the self-displaying unit 36. Then, when the player decides on the design of the throwing bag, the player selects (turns on) one of the throwing buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,. Discard this bag. On the basis of the discarded trash selection signal, the discarded trash determination program P26 stores the symbol code of the trash that has been discarded by performing the discarded trash operation in the discarded trash storage area of the RAM 42 in the main control board Ka. The board operation control program P1 performs a process of deleting 13 symbol codes from the manual stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42 to make 13 manuals.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 performs image control via the sub-control board Kb and the sub-control board Kb together with the control command of the discarded design code and 13 design codes. Processing to transmit to the substrate Kc is performed. When the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the symbol code that has been discarded, the symbol code corresponding to the symbol code is displayed on the discard symbol display unit 34, and the symbol codes of the 13 hand rules are displayed. When received, a process of displaying the symbols of the cocoons corresponding to these symbol codes on the hand pallet display unit 35 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the back side of the bag is displayed on the self-displaying portion 36.

  On the other hand, when the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the above 13 hand code symbols, the hearing pattern determination program P241, the rising-knot determination program P242 constituting the rising-hook determination program P24, and the rising By operating the wrinkle determination extraction program P243, as described above, it is determined whether or not there is a wrinkle that should be self-recognized next in order to complete the rising hand for the current 13 hands, and the rising hand is completed. When the cocoon is extracted, the display device 14 is caused to perform processing for displaying the design of the cocoon.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the game ball management program P4 after the above-described processing related to the player's disposal operation is completed, and sets the game ball to the game ball launch position. Processing to send a ball. Then, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to be able to launch a game ball into the game board surface 2.

  When the player launches a game ball and this game ball enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,..., The sensor detects the game ball and generates an entrance signal. The game ball management program P4 decodes the incoming signal and performs a process of storing the symbol code of the kite (self-sucker) corresponding to the entered entrance into the manual storage area. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 is operated, and it is determined whether or not the 14 hands have been raised and the combination is completed. Then, when the hand is raised and the winning combination is completed, as described above, it is determined what kind of rising role is set in advance and the score that the player can obtain is obtained. A process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the control board Kb is performed. On the other hand, when the rising combination has not been completed, as described above, the player performs a discarding operation of throwing out one of the 14 hands that is considered unnecessary.

  In this way, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to launch the game ball into the game board surface 2 to enter the listening state, and the remaining game ball number display section 27 has a numerical value of “1” or more. If there is a display, the player can reach by operating the reach button 18 before performing the operation of throwing away the bag. However, when the above condition is not satisfied (when the listening state is not established), the reach cannot be applied even if the reach button 18 is operated. After operating the reach button 18, one of the discard buttons 16 a, 16 b, 16 c,... When the self-cutting is performed, the design of the discarded candy is displayed on the discarded candy display unit 34 in the horizontal direction. In addition, the back-draft display unit 30 also displays the back-draft design.

  For the control related to the reach operation, for example, the following processing is performed. First, the main board operation control program P1 detects an operation signal of the reach button 18, and further detects an operation signal from the discard button 16a, 16b, etc., and then performs the current procedure by the listening determination process of the winning determination program P8. When the determination result that the device is in the hearing state is obtained, a control command indicating that the reach has been applied is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. When receiving the control command, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc performs a process of displaying the design of the design code of the throwing trash that is transmitted immediately thereafter on the throwing trash display portion 34 in a horizontal direction.

  In addition, when the game field is in a reach state, the game balls launched by the player do not become a kite that completes the rise of the kite (self-suspecting) corresponding to the symbols entered into the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,. In some cases, the main board control program P1 automatically processes this self-discard as a waste. This eliminates the need for the player to operate the discard button 16a,... After the reach operation.

  Note that the maximum number of points that can be obtained in one game under the control of the winning determination program P8 is, for example, up to 10 points, and an upper limit is set. Further, when two or more types of rising combinations are established at the same time, the score obtained by adding the points given to each of the rising combinations is the score of the game. Similarly, if the handbag contains the same dragon pattern as the front and back dramas, a score is also added to that dorado, for example, one score per dora is added. The One score obtained in the game corresponds to one medal. However, if the total number of points acquired in the game exceeds 10, the total number of medals (scores) that can be acquired is 10.

  Further, the winning determination program P8 is displayed until the game ends, that is, when the game end button 23 is pressed because the remaining number of game balls becomes 0, or when the game start button 24 is pressed. If the predetermined combination of rising combinations shown in FIG. 2 is not completed, the game end control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc displays “game over” on the display device 14 and notifies the player of the end of the game. Note that at the end of the game, the type of the final discarded bowl described with reference to Table 3 is checked by the discarded bowl determination program P26, and it is determined whether or not the execution status of the special effects of effects 1 to 6 has been reached. . Thus, if it is determined that the situation is reached, a special effect corresponding to the corresponding one of effects 1 to 6 is executed (an example thereof will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10). To do).

  Even when the combination of rising combinations is completed, if the display of the remaining game ball number display section 27 (the number of remaining balls) is “1” or more, the self-discard button 17 or the discard button 16a. , 16b, 16c,..., A game continuation control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb under the control of the main board operation control program P1. Then, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc erases the explanation of the winning combination displayed on the display device 14 and the display of the acquired score so that the game can be continued.

  Further, when the player operates the game end button 23 or the game start button 24 when the rising combination is completed and the explanation of the rising combination is displayed on the display device 14, the main board operation control program P1 inputs this input. The signal type is decoded and the medal management program P3 is operated, the score obtained in this game is added to the medal storage number stored in the RAM 42, and this medal storage number is imaged via the sub-control board Kb. Transmit to the control board Kc. Then, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays the medal stored number on the medal stored number display unit 26. When the player operates the game start button 24 after operating the game end button 23, the stored medal insertion operation is automatically performed, and the main board operation control program P1 can perform the next game. In order to obtain a ready state, a control command for initializing the screen display is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb.

  When the winning combination is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game, which is one of the special games set in advance, the winning determination program P8 confirms that the rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game is completed. The control command shown is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the right acquisition effect display program P3221 of the image control board Kc alternately displays the explanation of the rising role and the display of establishment of the big game right at predetermined time intervals on the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. Then, processing is performed to inform the player that the right of the big game has been established.

  When the right of the big game is established, as described above, the attacker 9 can be operated for a predetermined number of games, for example, 14 games in the next game including the game. In the present invention, even in a game in which the right of the big game is established, the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb causes the player to perform a throwing operation from the main control board Ka and perform 13 procedures. Each time the symbol code is transmitted, the above-described rising haze determination program P24 is controlled to operate.

  In a game in which the right of a big game is established, when a player launches a game ball, the game ball passes through the attacker operating port 10, and the passage signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main board The operation control program P1 controls the opening of the attacker 9 so that the game ball can easily enter the attacker 9. Each time the player enters one game ball in the attacker 9, the player can arbitrarily select self-restraint by the display device 14 and the interactive method. This self-selection operation can be performed by the processes of the self-selection support program P9 for the main control board Ka and the self-candidate selection support program P3222 for the image control board Kc.

  Next, according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10, as an example of the special effect, when it is determined that the winning combination has been completed with the final abandoned symbol data (symbol code) before 1 to 14 games, the effect described above 6 will be described.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the process starting with the label “final game ball winning post-processing” is started. First, in step S1, whether or not a winning form (raising role) is established is discarded. Judgment by As a result, if it is determined that the winning combination has been established, the process proceeds to step S3, and in response to the pressing operation of the payout button 22 (or the game end button 23), the automatic settlement according to the rising combination (winning) ( Execute (dispensing) processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 that the rising combination has not been established, the process proceeds to step S2, and the player presses one of the discard buttons 16a, 16b,. It is determined whether or not. As a result, if any button is not operated, the process of step S2 is repeated, and when any button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S4, and the “discard handling process” by the special effect execution program P25 is performed. Execute.

  In the above-mentioned “rejected waste handling process”, as shown in the subroutine of FIG. 10, the discarded waste symbol is displayed on the discarded waste display 34 in step S11, and the symbol data is stored in the discarded memory in the RAM 42 of the sub control board Kb. Store in the area. Subsequently, in step S12, whether or not the winning combination has been completed with the last discarded spear symbol data (symbol code) 1 to 14 games before the current game stored in the discarded spear memory area by the discarded spear determining program P26. Determine whether. As a result, if it is determined that the rising combination has not been established, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the rising combination is established, the process proceeds to step S13, and the premium image displayed on the display device 14 is completely different from the image and sound at the time of the normal game at the start of the next game. The aforementioned production 6 is executed as a premium production using the premium sound emitted from the speaker 6.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the formation of a rising role due to abandonment that has not been meaningful in the progress of the game in the past, or the final abandonment in a game prior to the current game is a predetermined mahjong In the case of a samurai symbol or the like, this can be used as a trigger for the execution of the special effect service, and an unexpected effect service can be provided to a player who could not establish a winning combination during one game. Thereby, the player can face the game with a sense of expectation, and the game performance is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the discarded discard symbol data is composed of data related to the discarded symbol discarded at the end of one game by a predetermined discarding operation. By setting such as, it is possible to implement a presentation service that was not anticipated by the player at the time when the hand was discarded at the end of one game, and to enhance the taste. Further, the discarded samurai symbol data is continuously stored in the RAM 42 of the sub-control board Kb as the abandoned samurai symbol data storage means in the game after the end of one game which is progressed while combining the mahjong tile symbols. Therefore, for example, it becomes possible to arbitrarily provide a special effect according to the design of the final throwing away game in a game before a predetermined number of games by setting.

  In addition, as a special effect, a premium image different from the display at the time of normal game is displayed, so that an effect service for the player can be enhanced and the game performance can be further improved. And as a special effect, premium sound different from the sound during normal game is emitted, so that it is possible to enhance the effect service for the player and further improve the playability, and at the same time the premium image is displayed. By executing the sound, the playability can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, both the premium image and the premium sound are configured to be executed simultaneously, whereby the maximum effect can be achieved. However, these are not necessarily executed at the same time, and it is a matter of course that an effect of a certain level or more can be obtained by only one of the effects. In addition to performing premium images and premium sounds as “special effects”, it is also possible to create effects such as setting a role that will be advantageous to the player in the next game (game), for example. It is.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the special effect is configured to be executed in the next game after the game subjected to the determination process by the throwing away determination program P26, and is performed at the start of the next game, for example. Although the special effect produced the effect that the player can face the game with a sense of expectation, it can be configured to be executed in a game subjected to the determination process instead. In that case, it is possible to achieve an effect that the player can face the next game with a sense of expectation due to the special effects performed during the same game.

  In the present embodiment, a RAM 42 serving as a litter symbol data storage means for storing litter symbol data displayed on the litter symbol display unit 34, and a special effect on the display device 14 when it is determined that a rising combination has been established. The special effect execution program P25 as the special effect execution means to be displayed has been described as an example provided in the sub-control board Kb.
