(Relationship between group and individual production)
In the effect storage means 230, as shown in the following Table 1, a plurality of types, for example, three types of individual effects are stored for each of the two groups described above.

As shown in Table 1, the above groups (1) to (2) are subdivided into the following individual effects. As shown in Table 1, the individual effects are classified into a short version, a normal version, and a long version according to the length of the effect time.
(1) Roulette production (Group A, see Fig. 3)
(1-1) Short version roulette production (A10)
(1-2) Normal version roulette production (A11)
(1-3) Long version roulette production (A12)
(2) Battle production (Group B, see Fig. 4)
(2-1) Short version battle production (B10)
(2-2) Normal version battle production (B11)
(2-3) Long version battle production (B12)
(Explanation of short production in FIG. 5)
The original effect stored in the original effect storage means 231 is composed of, for example, a moving image having a story, and is roughly composed of the following images as illustrated in FIG.

(1) Origin (introduction image)
(2) Approval (image on the way)
(3) Roll (image on the way)
(4) Result (result image)
On the other hand, the short effect storage means 232 stores a short effect in which the effect time of the original effect stored in the original effect storage means 231 is shortened. As illustrated in FIG. (3) Roll (intermediate image) is omitted, and (1) wake (introduction image) and (4) conclude (result image) constitute a short effect.

For example, assuming that the effect times of the four types of images (1) to (4) are 5 seconds, the total effect time of the original effect is 20 seconds.
On the other hand, since the short effect is composed of two types of effects (1) start (introduction image) and (4) result (result image), the total effect time of the short effect is reduced to 10 seconds. Can be shortened.
(Description of the game)
A game using the slot machine 10 having the above-described configuration will be described below.

First, when the start switch 70 in FIG. 2 is operated on the condition that a medal is inserted, the game control means 200 in FIG. 1 starts driving the reel unit 30 and starts rotation of three reels.
At the same time, a lottery of game results is performed by the game result lottery means 210 of FIG. 1 on condition that the start switch 70 of FIG. 2 is operated.

At the same time, the effect lottery means 240 of FIG. 1 selects one effect from among a plurality of types of original effects stored in the original effect storage means 231 by lottery.
For example, as shown in Table 1 above, one original effect is selected by lottery from the following six types of original effects.
(1) Short version roulette production (A10)
(2) Normal version roulette production (A11)
(3) Long version roulette production (A12)
(4) Short version battle production (B10)
(5) Normal version battle production (B11)
(6) Long version battle production (B12)
For example, it is assumed that (3) the long version of the roulette effect (A12) is selected from the above (1) to (6).

The effect execution means 250 reads the original effect corresponding to the selected long version roulette effect (A12) in Table 1 from the original effect storage means 231 and causes the effect execution means 250 to display the original effect.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, in the long version of the roulette effect (A12), the image display device 40 is followed by a start (introduction image), a transition (intermediate image), a roll (intermediate image), a result ( All images are displayed in the order of (result image).

On the other hand, the player operates the three stop switches 80 to 82 shown in FIG. When any one of the stop switches 80 to 82 is operated, the reel stop control means 220 in FIG. 1 performs the stop control of the drive of the reel unit 30 based on the lottery result of the game lottery means 210, and the operation is performed. The reels corresponding to the stop switches 80 to 82 are stopped.
Thus, when all three stop switches 80 to 82 are operated, all three reels stop.

The long version roulette effect (A12) shown in Table 1 displayed on the image display device 40 is continuously displayed even after the three reels are stopped.
In order to cancel the long version roulette effect (A12), the player may insert a medal.
For example, a credit medal is inserted by operating the bet switches 60 to 61.

When the credit medal is inserted, the long version roulette effect (A12) is canceled by the effect canceling means 260, and a game start screen is displayed on the image display device 40 (not shown).
At the same time, the cancel effect storage means 270 in FIG. 1 stores the type of effect canceled by the effect cancel means 260, that is, the fact that the long version of the roulette effect (A12) has been canceled.

When the start switch 70 of FIG. 2 is operated, the rotation of the three reels is started, and at this time, the game result lottery means 210 by the game result lottery means 210 of FIG. 1 is performed.
At the same time, the effect lottery means 240 selects one effect from among the effects (1) to (6).
At this time, it is assumed that (3) the long version of the roulette effect (A12) is selected again from the above (1) to (6).

Since the selected long version roulette effect (A12) is stored in the cancel effect storage means 270, the effect switching means 280 selects the short selection corresponding to the long version roulette effect (A12) as the short effect storage means. 232 and the effect execution means 250 displays the short effect.
On the image display device 40, as shown in FIG. 5 of the long version of the roulette effect (A12), after the start (introduction image), only the result (result image) is displayed. (Intermediate image) is omitted and displayed, and the speed of the game is increased.

On the other hand, the same applies when (2) normal version roulette effect (A11) different from the first selection is selected among the above (1) to (6).
That is, the effect switching means 280, as displayed in the following table 2 by shading, is the remaining two short versions of the roulette effect (A group) belonging to the same group as the long version roulette effect (A12). The roulette effect (A10) and the normal version of the roulette effect (A11) are determined as the same kind of effect.

Therefore, the effect switching means 280 reads the short selection corresponding to the selected normal version of the roulette effect (A11) from the short effect storage means 232 and causes the effect execution means 250 to display the short effect.
On the other hand, to return the short effect to the original effect, the effect return switch 90 may be operated.

When the effect return switch 90 is operated, the effect return means 290 is activated to return to the initial original effect.
On the other hand, when the long version battle effect (B12) is selected from the above (1) to (6), the long version battle effect (B12) is stored in the cancel effect storage means 270. Since it belongs to a battle effect (B group, see FIG. 4) different from the long version roulette effect (A12), it is not determined as the same kind of effect.

Therefore, the effect execution means 250 reads the original effect corresponding to the selected long version battle effect (B12) from the original effect storage means 231, and the effect execution means 250 reads the original effect. Display.
As a result, in the image display device 40, as shown in FIG. 5 of the long version battle effect (B12), following the start (introduction image), the approval (intermediate image), the roll (intermediate image), the connection ( All images are displayed in the order of (result image).
(Variation of production switching method)
On the other hand, when the same kind of effect belonging to a group different from the canceled effect is selected in addition to the effect belonging to the same group as the long roulette effect (A12) stored by the cancel effect storage means 270 It is also possible to switch to the short effect.

  The same kind of production belonging to a different group includes the appearance frequency of the long version battle production (B12) belonging to a battle production (Group B) different from the roulette production (Group A) to which the long version roulette production (A12) belongs. Reduce.

As a result, the short version roulette effect (A10), the normal version roulette effect (A11), the long version roulette effect (A12), and the long version battle effect (shown by shading in Table 3) by the effect lottery means 240. When a total of four types of effects (B12) are selected, the effect is switched to the short effect.
(Variation of production memory table)
Next, variations of the effect storage table will be described.

  Table 4 below is a grouping based on the performance times in Table 1 described above, and the individual effects in each group are classified based on the contents of the effects.

  Table 5 below employs the groups in Table 1 described above as they are, and classifies the individual effects in each group based on the BB probability.

It should be noted that groups may be grouped based on the BB probabilities in Table 5, and individual effects within each group may be grouped based on the contents of effects, or a plurality of tables may be combined.
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
A feature of the present embodiment is a method for configuring a short effect.

In other words, the original effect stored in the original effect storage means 231 is composed of, for example, a moving image having a story, and is roughly composed of the following images as illustrated in FIG.
(1) Origin (introduction image)
(2) Approval (image on the way)
(3) Roll (image on the way)
(4) Result (result image)
On the other hand, the short effect storage means 232 stores a short effect in which the effect time of the original effect stored in the original effect storage means 231 is shortened, and (1) to (4) as illustrated in FIG. A short effect is composed of images obtained by shortening each effect time.

For example, assuming that the effect times of the four types of images (1) to (4) are 5 seconds, the total effect time of the original effect is 20 seconds.
On the other hand, in the short effect, each original effect frame is extracted every other frame and is composed of 2.5 seconds, so the total effect time of the short effect can be reduced to half 10 seconds. .

  In addition, since the frames of the original effect are extracted every other frame and the playback speed is the same, the original effect can be viewed in a fast-forward manner in the short effect.
