FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a special prize symbol display process of a picture game. As shown in FIG. 21, the variable display symbol starts to fluctuate (step S2101), and after a lapse of a predetermined time, the first variable display symbol stops at the symbol corresponding to K1 (step S2102), and the first variable display symbol becomes the entire surface. (Step S2103), and then the first variable display symbol is reduced (step S2104).

After a lapse of a predetermined time, a second variable display symbol corresponding to K2 appears from the first variable display symbol (step S2105), and is gradually enlarged (step S2105).
2106), and reach state is reached.

Thereafter, after a lapse of a predetermined time, a third variable display symbol corresponding to K1 appears from the hands of the second variable display symbol (step S2107), and starts to change (step S2108). It stops at the symbol corresponding to K31 = 0 (step S2109), the special symbol is displayed (step S2110), and the special symbol display processing ends.

Further, the mode of the display symbol in the special prize state will be described with reference to a specific example. As shown in FIG. 10, first, in a state in which three types of symbols (dispatch station, fish shop, and soba) that do not belong to the same series are displayed in the variable display section 44, a game ball is placed in the starting winning opening 50 of the gaming machine. Wins, the reserved ball display section 41 is turned on, and the displayed symbol starts to change. At this time, only the first variable display symbol actually starts to fluctuate in the variable display portion 44, and after a lapse of a predetermined time, the first variable display symbol (soba shop) is enlarged and displayed on the entire variable display portion 44 and stopped.

Thereafter, the first variable display symbol that is displayed in an enlarged scale is reduced and displayed, and a second variable display symbol (soba restaurant) appears from within the first variable display symbol (from inside the soba restaurant), and gradually appears. Is enlarged and displayed on the first variable display symbol and the second variable display symbol.
When the variable display symbols belong to the same series, the state is shifted to the reach state.

When the state is shifted to the reach state, the third variable display symbols (symbols (six types) deviating from the special prize symbols (two types)) appear while changing according to the first variable display symbols (soba shop). Prize state when the third variable display symbol (first soba) also belongs to the same series as the first variable display symbol and the second variable display symbol. Is moved to

That is, a soba shop appears from the soba shop,
"Soba" when soba is served from the hands of a soba shop
Is transferred to the special prize state.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a lost symbol display process of a picture game. As shown in FIG. 22, the variable display section 44 starts changing (step S2201), and after a predetermined time elapses, the first variable display symbol stops at the symbol corresponding to K1 (step S2202), and the first variable display symbol changes. The image is displayed on the entire surface (step S2203) and reduced (step S2204).

If K1 = K2 (step S22)
05: Y), after a lapse of a predetermined time, a second variable display symbol corresponding to K2 appears from the first variable display symbol (step S2206), and is gradually enlarged and displayed (step S22).
07), the device enters the reach state.

After a lapse of a predetermined time, a third variable display symbol corresponding to K1 appears in the hand of the second variable display symbol (step S2208), and starts to change (step S2209). It stops at the symbol corresponding to K31 (step S2210), a missing symbol is displayed (step S2211), and the missing symbol display processing ends.

On the other hand, if K1 is not equal to K2 (step S2205: N), a second variable display symbol corresponding to K2 appears from the first variable display symbol after a predetermined time has elapsed (step S2212), and is gradually enlarged. It is displayed (step S2213), and after a lapse of a predetermined time, the third variable display symbol appears from the hands of the second variable display symbol (step S22).
14), stop after starting the fluctuation (step S221)
5, S2216), a missing symbol is displayed (step S2).
2211), the missing symbol display processing ends.

Further, the form of the display symbol in the out-of-position state will be described with a specific example. As shown in FIG. 11, first, in a state in which three kinds of unrelated symbols (dispatch station, fish shop, and soba) are displayed in the variable display section 44, a game ball wins in the start winning opening 50 of the gaming machine. Then, the reserved ball display section 41 is turned on, and the variable display section 44 starts to change. At this time, only the first variable display symbol actually starts to fluctuate in the variable display section 44, and after a lapse of a predetermined time, the first variable display symbol (flower shop) is enlarged and displayed on the entire variable display section 44 and stopped.

Thereafter, the first variable display symbol displayed in an enlarged manner is reduced and displayed, and a second variable display symbol (beautician) appears from within the first variable display symbol (from inside the flower shop), and is gradually enlarged. Since the first variable display symbol and the second variable display symbol do not belong to the same series, the third variable display symbol (buckwheat, flower, Hospitals, fish, beauty salons, and police (see the third variable display symbol in FIG. 3)) appear while fluctuating (appear from the hairdresser's hands), stop after a predetermined time has elapsed, and lose symbols. Is displayed.

That is, when a hairdresser appears from a florist and puts on a police hat, it does not belong to the same group, so it is lost.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the special prize game process. As shown in FIG. 23, when the attacker who is a large winning opening is released (step S2301), and either one of a predetermined number of prizes or a predetermined time has passed is satisfied (step S2302: N, S2303: Y), the attacker is released. It is closed (step S2304), it is determined whether or not a game ball has won a V winning opening provided in the attacker (step S2305). If a V has won (step S2305: Y), the attacker is opened. It is determined whether or not the number has reached a predetermined limit number (step S2).
306).

If the number of times the attacker has been released has not reached the predetermined limit (step S2306: N), the process returns to the step of releasing the attacker again, and if the prize has not been won in the V winning opening, or the attacker has been released. If the number of times has reached the limit number (step S2305: N, S2
306: Y), the special prize game processing ends.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, details of the second embodiment that are different from the first embodiment will be described. Four symbols are variably displayed on the variable display section 44, and when each symbol belongs to the same series, the state is shifted to the special prize state.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing the display pattern of the variable display section. As shown in FIG. 25, the first variable display symbol is composed of Momotaro, Monkey Crab Battle, Taro Urashima, Issekishi, Kintaro and the title of the story, and the second variable display symbol is dog, crab, turtle,
Bow, bear, ☆, the third variable display pattern is pheasant, light,
Princess, ono, dog, crab, turtle, bowl, bear, ☆, 4th variable display pattern consists of monkey, fishing, chopsticks, dog, crab, turtle, bowl, bear, ☆, 1st variable display pattern Is Momotaro, the second variable display symbol, the third variable display symbol, and the fourth variable display symbol are "dog, pheasant, monkey", "dog,
"Dog, dog", "dog, pheasant, monkey" and "dog, dog, monkey" are shifted to the special prize state.

In the case of a monkey crab battle, "crab, light,
Monkey "," crab, crab, crab "," crab, light, crab ",
"Crabs, crabs, monkeys" are transferred to the special prize status, and if you are Urashima Taro, "turtles, turtles, turtles,""turtles, princesses, turtles,""turtles, turtles, If you are Kintaro, you can change to the special prize state by "fishing", and "bear, bear, monkey", "bear, bear, bear", "bear, bear, bear", "bear, bear, monkey" It is shifted to the special prize state.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing the display symbols in the special prize state of the variable display section. As shown in FIG. 26, first, in a state where four kinds of symbols (one sizer, bear, horse, fishing) which are not related at all are displayed in the variable display section 44, a game ball is inserted into a start winning opening of the gaming machine. Wins, the reserved ball display section is turned on, and the variable display symbol starts to change. At this time, only the first variable display symbol actually starts to fluctuate in the variable display portion 44, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the first variable display symbol (Momotaro) is enlarged and displayed on the entire variable display portion 44 and stopped.

Thereafter, the first variable display symbol displayed in an enlarged manner is reduced and displayed, and the second variable display symbol, the third variable display symbol, and the fourth variable display symbol appear while fluctuating. Variable display symbol, fourth variable display symbol, third
