［２］前記可変表示装置（３０）の表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）は、特定遊技領域（３０ｂ）と図柄合わせ領域（３０ａ）に区画して、
前記図柄合わせ遊技は、前記図柄合わせ領域（３０ａ）で前記各種図柄の可変表示を実行し、
前記特定遊技は、前記特定領域（３０ｂ）で前記キャラクタによるアニメーション表示を実行する初期画面動作と、前記図柄合わせ領域（３０ｂ）で前記キャラクタと前記特定図柄によるアニメーション表示を実行する後期画面動作のうち、少なくとも前記初期画面動作を有して成ることを特徴とする［１］記載の遊技機（１０）。 [2] The display areas (30a, 30b) of the variable display device (30) are divided into a specific game area (30b) and a symbol matching area (30a).

The specific game includes an initial screen operation for executing an animation display by the character in the specific area (30b) and a late screen operation for executing an animation display by the character and the specific symbol in the symbol matching area (30b). The gaming machine (10) according to [1], characterized in that it has at least the initial screen operation.

次に、前記解決手段に基づく作用を説明する。
本発明に係る遊技機（１０）によれば、遊技盤面（１１）上に打ち出された球が始動入賞口（２０）にうまく入賞すると、それに基づき、先ず可変表示装置（３０）の図柄合わせ領域（３０ａ）と特定表示領域（３０ｂ）を併せた表示領域（以下単に表示領域という。）で図柄合わせ遊技が実行される。 Next, the operation based on the above-mentioned solution will be described.
According to the gaming machine (10) according to the present invention, when the ball launched on the gaming board surface (11) successfully wins the starting winning opening (20), the symbol matching area of the variable display device (30) is first based on the winning ball. The symbol matching game is executed in the display area (hereinafter, simply referred to as the display area) in which the (30a) and the specific display area (30b) are combined.

すなわち、表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）の各表示部（３１〜３３）毎に各種図柄が変動するように表示され、所定時間が経過した後、各表示部（３１〜３３）毎に何れか１つずつ図柄が停止表示される。このような図柄合わせ遊技は、図柄合わせ実行手段（１２２）によって制御される。 That is, various symbols are displayed so as to fluctuate for each display unit (31 to 33) in the display area (30a, 30b), and after a predetermined time has elapsed, any one of the display units (31 to 33) is displayed. The symbols are stopped and displayed one by one. Such a symbol matching game is controlled by the symbol matching executing means (122).

また、前記図柄合わせ遊技の結果、大当たりの組み合わせにならなくても、特定図柄を含む特定の組み合わせとなった場合には、前記表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）にて、前記特定図柄に関連した１または複数の特定関連図柄を用いた特定遊技が実行される。 Further, even if the combination of the jackpots is not obtained as a result of the symbol matching game, when a specific combination including a specific symbol is obtained, the display area (30a, 30b) is associated with 1 related to the specific symbol. Alternatively, a specific game using a plurality of specific related symbols is executed.

以上のように、前記図柄合わせ遊技の結果が大当たりに相当しなくても、特定の組み合わせとなった場合には、前記図柄合わせ遊技とは異なる特定遊技が別に実行されて、視覚的に楽しめる他、更には特定遊技の結果次第で特賞も発生し得る。従って、遊技者は一旦諦めかけた特賞への期待感をもう一度持てることになり、遊技者の期待感を持続させることができる。 As described above, even if the result of the symbol matching game does not correspond to a big hit, when a specific combination is obtained, a specific game different from the symbol matching game is executed separately and can be visually enjoyed. Furthermore, a special prize may be generated depending on the result of the specific game. Therefore, the player can have the expectation for the special prize that he has given up once again, and the expectation of the player can be maintained.

また、前記特定遊技を、表示領域（３０ａ,０ｂ）を構成する特定遊技領域（３０ｂ）における初期画面動作と、図柄合わせ領域（３０ａ）における後期画面動作とに分けて、前記初期画面動作だけで終了する場合と、後期画面動作にも連続するような場面を設定すれば、特定遊技の表示内容がバリエーションに富むものとなり、より一層と遊技者は視覚的にも遊技を楽しむことができる。 Further, the specific game is divided into an initial screen operation in the specific game area (30b) constituting the display area (30a, 0b) and a late screen operation in the symbol matching area (30a), and only the initial screen operation is performed. By setting a scene that is continuous with the end and the late screen operation, the display content of the specific game becomes rich in variation, and the player can enjoy the game even more visually.

可変表示装置３０は各種図柄を表示する表示領域よりなる画面を備え、該表示領域よりなる画面は、図柄合わせ領域３０ａと特定遊技領域３０ｂとでもって構成されている。図３中において、可変表示装置３０の画面下半分が図柄合わせ領域３０ａであり、画面上半分が特定遊技領域３０ｂとして設定されている。 The variable display device 30 includes a screen including a display area for displaying various symbols, and the screen composed of the display area is composed of a symbol matching area 30a and a specific game area 30b. In FIG. 3, the lower half of the screen of the variable display device 30 is set as the symbol matching area 30a, and the upper half of the screen is set as the specific game area 30b.

また、前記図柄合わせ遊技の結果として、先に２つの表示部３１，３２に停止した図柄が一致するリーチ表示を経て、最後の第３表示部３３にキャラクタ３が停止すると、特定遊技が実行される。ここで特定遊技は、可変表示装置３０を構成する表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）のうち特定遊技領域３０ｂ、あるいは前記図柄合わせ領域３０ａにおいても表示されることになる。 Further, as a result of the symbol matching game, when the character 3 stops at the final third display unit 33 after the reach display in which the symbols previously stopped on the two display units 31 and 32 match, the specific game is executed. To. Here, the specific game is also displayed in the specific game area 30b or the symbol matching area 30a in the display areas (30a, 30b) constituting the variable display device 30.

特定遊技実行手段１２３は、前記図柄合わせ遊技の結果、リーチ表示後に第３表示部３３にキャラクタ３が停止する特定の組み合わせとなった場合に、前記可変表示装置３０を構成する表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）のうち特定遊技領域３０ｂで、前記キャラクタ３に関連した特定関連図柄としてキャラクタ１，２を用いた特定遊技を実行するものである。以下、特定遊技の内容について詳述する。 When the specific game executing means 123 becomes a specific combination in which the character 3 stops at the third display unit 33 after the reach display as a result of the symbol matching game, the specific game executing means 123 constitutes a display area (30a, 30a, In the specific game area 30b of 30b), the specific game using the characters 1 and 2 as the specific related symbols related to the character 3 is executed. Hereinafter, the content of the specific game will be described in detail.

次に図１０〜図１５に示すフローチャートに基づき、遊技機１０における遊技全体の流れを説明する。
図１０および図１１に示すメインルーチンでは、初めに各種初期設定を行った後、ステップＳ１０２以降の処理が遊技機１０の電源が投入されている間、繰り返し実行され、可変表示装置３０の表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）での図柄合わせ遊技や特定遊技、それに特賞発生時の賞球の払い出し等の処理が随時実行される。 Next, the flow of the entire game in the gaming machine 10 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIGS. 10 to 15.
In the main routine shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, after various initial settings are first performed, the processes after step S102 are repeatedly executed while the power of the game machine 10 is turned on, and the display area of the variable display device 30 is executed. Processing such as the symbol matching game and the specific game in (30a, 30b), and the payout of the prize ball when the special prize is generated is executed at any time.

ここでリーチ決定乱数がリーチ実行乱数値であれば（Ｓ１０３でＹ）、今度はリーチパターン乱数が０であるか否かを判別する（Ｓ１０４）。一方、リーチ決定乱数がリーチ実行乱数値でなければ（Ｓ１０３でＮ）、可変表示装置３０を構成する表示領域（３０ａ，３０ｂ）の図柄合わせ領域３０ａで図柄合わせ遊技が開始され（Ｓ１４６）、それに伴い保留球表示装置４０の保留ランプ４１が１つ消灯する（Ｓ１４７）。そして、図柄合わせ遊技の結果、大当たりの組み合わせとなる（Ｓ１４８）。 Here, if the reach determination random number is the reach execution random number value (Y in S103), it is determined whether or not the reach pattern random number is 0 (S104). On the other hand, if the reach determination random number is not the reach execution random number value (N in S103), the symbol matching game is started in the symbol matching area 30a of the display area (30a, 30b) constituting the variable display device 30 (S146). Along with this, one hold lamp 41 of the hold ball display device 40 goes out (S147). Then, as a result of the symbol matching game, a jackpot combination is obtained (S148).

【発明の効果】
本発明に係る遊技機によれば、可変表示装置における図柄合わせ遊技の結果が大当りにならなくても、特定図柄を含む特定の組合せとなった場合には、特定図柄と関連した内容のキャラクタをアニメーション表示することで所定のストーリーを展開する特定遊技を実行するようにしたので、視覚的な楽しさとともに、一旦諦めかけた特賞への期待を遊技者にもう一度与えることができる。
また、特定遊技領域でキャラクタによるアニメーション表示を実行する初期画面動作と、図柄合わせ領域で前記キャラクタと前記特定図柄によるアニメーション表示を実行する後期画面動作に分けて、特定遊技が、初期画面動作だけで終了する場合と、後期画面動作にも連続するようにすると、特定遊技の表示内容がバリエーションに富むものとなり、より一層遊技者は視覚的にも遊技を楽しむことが出来る。
そしてリーチ表示を経て、最後の表示部に前記特定図柄が停止した場合を、前記特定の組み合わせとすれば、リーチ表示に対する遊技者の期待感を、次に続く特定遊技にそのまま持続させることが可能となる。 [0142]
【Effect of the invention】
According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, even if the result of the symbol matching game on the variable display device is not a big hit, if a specific combination including a specific symbol is obtained, a character having a content related to the specific symbol is displayed. Since a specific game that develops a predetermined story is executed by displaying an animation, it is possible to give the player the expectation of the special prize that has been given up once again as well as the visual enjoyment.
Further, the specific game is divided into an initial screen operation for executing an animation display by a character in a specific game area and a late screen operation for executing an animation display with the character and the specific symbol in a symbol matching area.
