In the following, it is assumed that the pachinko gaming apparatus 10 has been activated, the variables used in the CPU 66 have been initialized to predetermined values, and the pachinko gaming apparatus 10 is operating normally.

FIG. 3 shows a subroutine for controlling the normal screen, which is executed in the control circuit 60 described above. This subroutine is called and executed from a control program that controls the entire game flow of the pachinko gaming device 10 that is executed in advance.

A subroutine for changing and displaying a background image according to a reach symbol at the time of a reach in a gaming machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, the winning opening 4 of the pachinko gaming machine 10
4. It is determined whether or not a pachinko ball has entered into No. 4 (Step S)
11). If it is determined that the pachinko ball has not entered the winning opening 44, this subroutine is immediately terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S11 that a pachinko ball has entered the winning opening 44, the screen of the display device 32 is switched from the fixed screen to the normal screen, and a game that proceeds on the display device 32 is started. Here, the game that progresses on the display device 32 is called a variable display game. In the variable display game, a change and a stop of a plurality of symbols are determined by one.
As a cycle, after a plurality of symbols are variably displayed, a plurality of symbols are stopped and displayed, and when the combination of symbols when a plurality of symbols are all stopped becomes a predetermined combination, a player is provided with a pachinko game. This is a game for shifting to an advantageous state. For example, the design is "1",
It consists of 12 numbers consisting of "2", ..., "12",
The symbols are scrolled in a plurality of columns (for example, three columns) in the vertical direction, and the symbols are variably displayed on the display device 32,
Thereafter, the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped one row at a time. When the combination of the symbols when all the symbols in the three rows are stopped becomes a predetermined combination, for example, “7” − “7” − “7”, the pachinko game is advantageous to the player as the jackpot is won. It shifts to such a state. When the state shifts to a state in which a big hit is made to be advantageous to the player, a current is supplied to the above-mentioned solenoid 48 and the shutter 40 of the winning opening 38 provided on the front surface of the game board 14 is provided.
To make the pachinko balls easy to enter the winning opening 38. When the variable display game is being executed, an effect screen including a background image, a character image, and the like is also displayed on the display device 32. Note that the above-described fixed screen refers to a screen displayed on the display device 32 when the variable display game executed on the display device 32 is not executed and only the pachinko game is in progress. Also, the normal screen is
After the variable display game is started on the display device 32 and the symbols displayed on the display device 32 are variably displayed, the symbols are displayed on the display device 32 from the time when the variable display game reaches a reach or a big hit. Refers to a production screen. When the variable display game is started, first, the CPU
An internal lottery process is executed by the calculation process of 66 (step S12). The internal lottery process is a process for determining in advance a combination of symbols to be displayed when all the symbols which have been displayed in a variable manner are stopped and fixed, and the CPU 66 determines a combination of symbols determined by the internal lottery process as described later. Then, the processing of the variable display and the display stop are performed so that the symbol stops.

Next, the background image displayed at the time of the previous reach or the big hit is displayed on the display device 32 (step S13-1). For example, the last reach symbol is "7"
If it is, or if the previous jackpot pattern was "7", an image representing July, for example, a background image showing the summer blue sky spreading, is displayed after the month "7" I do. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the appearance of the summer blue sky that was displayed at the time of the previous reach or jackpot is displayed as a background image. In addition, the character "Ton-chan" is displayed, and The appearance of the wearing Ton-chan running and practicing is displayed as a character image. In addition, the numeral “7” shown on the left side of FIG. 5, the numeral “2” shown in the center, and the numeral “9” shown on the right side represent the symbol. In addition, an image including the characters “month” is displayed as the background image, so that the player can be notified that the background image changes with the “month”.

Next, a plurality of, for example, 12 symbols are variably displayed on the display device 32 (step S14). In the case of the variable display game as described above, four symbols are displayed for one column, and when three columns are displayed, the display device 3
In FIG. 2, twelve symbols are displayed.
The display area described later is a concept corresponding to this row, and is also a concept corresponding to a reel in a conventional slot machine. The symbols displayed on the display device 32 are:
As described above, for example, it indicates a number such as “7” or a symbol such as “☆”. In addition, the change display of the symbol, for example, after displaying the number “7”,
By displaying the symbol image data indicating the numbers and symbols to be displayed on the display device 32 sequentially from the ROM 68 in accordance with the display mode to be displayed, and displaying the read image data on the display device 32 as in the case of displaying “8”. Done. This variable display of the symbol is a display in which the symbol is changed in a display area to be described later, for example, even if the symbol is displayed so as to scroll in the vertical direction, the symbol is scrolled in the horizontal or diagonal direction. It may be displayed. When scrolling vertically, the symbols are displayed to move from top to bottom inside the display area, to move from bottom to top, or to move up and down. It is displayed as if swinging. Further, when the symbols are displayed in a variable manner, the symbols may be displayed such that the display mode changes. For example, at the beginning of the display, a small design may be displayed, and the design may be displayed such that the design becomes larger as it moves, or the design may be displayed such that the design changes as it moves. . Each time the above-described step S12 is performed, the above-described symbol change display processing is performed.

Next, the symbols variably displayed on the display device 32 are stopped one by one at a predetermined timing (step 15). For example, when the process of step S15 is first performed, the variable display of the left symbol is stopped, and when the process of step S15 is performed, the variable display of the right symbol is stopped.

As described above, when the change of the two symbols displayed on the display device 32 stops, it is determined whether or not the variable display game has reached the reach at this time (step S16-1). When it is determined that the reach has not been reached, the variable display game is advanced with the background image displayed in S13-1 and the change of the last symbol during the change is stopped, and all the symbols are stopped. It is determined whether or not (step S18).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the reach has been reached, the background image is changed to a background image corresponding to the reach symbol and displayed (step S17-1). For example, in the state where the background image that images July is displayed after the month of "7" which is the previous reach symbol (step S13-1), the symbol is changed and stopped, and the reach symbol is changed to "4". , "Ton-chan runs through the image of April, named after the April, for example, a row of cherry blossoms scattered around the cherry blossoms in the back of a cherry blossom viewing and dancing. The image is changed to a background image indicating that the user is immersed in the practice (step S17-1). Then, in a state where the background image corresponding to the reach symbol is variably displayed, it is determined whether or not the variation of the last symbol in the variation is stopped and all the symbols are stopped (step S18). When it is determined that all the symbols are not stopped, the process returns to the above-described step S14 to continue the process, and as described above, the variation of the symbols is stopped one by one. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S18 that all three symbol fluctuations have stopped, this subroutine is immediately terminated.

After this subroutine is completed, as described above, the pachinko game in the pachinko game device is advanced in accordance with the result of the variable display game executed on the display device 32. For example, as described above,
When the result of the variable display game is a big hit, as described above, the shutter 40 of the winning opening 38 is opened for a predetermined time to make it easy for the pachinko balls to enter the winning opening 38, and this is repeated a predetermined number of times. On the other hand, when the result of the variable display game is lost, a program for executing the pachinko game without opening the shutter 40 of the winning opening 38 is executed.

Here, the subroutine for changing and displaying the background image in accordance with the reach symbol when reaching has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. While the game in which the fluctuation and the stop are sequentially repeated is displayed on the normal screen up to the reach, the game is determined in relation to the combination of the identification information at the time of the reach in the game performed before the reach. Since the image is displayed as a background image, a subroutine for changing and displaying the background image as described below is also possible.

That is, in FIG. 3, S16-1 and S17
After ending both steps of S15 and ending the step of S15, the process jumps to the step of S18.
According to this, the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped one by one (step S15), and it is determined whether or not all the symbols are stopped (step S18). When it is determined that all the fluctuations of the three symbols are stopped. , The subroutine is immediately terminated.

In short, just because you have reached reach,
The background image according to the reach symbol need not be changed and displayed immediately, and the background image according to the previous reach symbol may be displayed while the normal screen is displayed.

Next, a subroutine for changing and displaying a background image according to a big hit symbol in a big hit in a gaming machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the subroutine shown in FIG. 4 as well, the step of stopping the fluctuation of the symbols one by one (step S1)
Up to 5), the same processing as the subroutine shown in FIG. 3 is performed.

While the background image at the time of the previous big hit is displayed, the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped one by one (step S15), and it is determined whether or not all the symbols are stopped (step S16-2). Here, if all the symbols are not stopped, the process is returned to the above-described step S14 to continue the process, and as described above, the variation of the symbols is stopped one by one.

When it is determined that all the symbols have stopped, it is next determined whether or not a big hit state has occurred according to the combination of the stopped symbols (step S).
19). If it is determined in this step S19 that the game is not in the big hit state, the subroutine is immediately terminated.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the big hit state has occurred, the background image is changed to a background image corresponding to the big hit symbol and displayed (step S17-2). And
This subroutine ends immediately after the background image change display ends.

Here, when a big hit occurs,
The subroutine for changing and displaying the background image according to the jackpot symbol has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game in which the change and the stop of the plurality of identification information images are sequentially repeated until the game reaches the reach. While the normal screen is displayed, an image defined in connection with a combination of identification information at the time of a jackpot in a game played before reaching reach is displayed as a background image. A subroutine for changing and displaying a background image as described below is also possible.

That is, in FIG. 4, S19 and S17-2
After omitting both steps and ending the step of S16-2, this subroutine is immediately ended.

In other words, it is not necessary that the background image corresponding to the big hit symbol is immediately changed and displayed just because the big hit is reached. After the big hit symbol comes out and the bonus game is started, the bonus game is started. It is only necessary to display the background image corresponding to the previous big hit symbol while the normal screen is displayed after the end.

When the variable display of any one of the plurality of identification information images is stopped, the background image corresponding to the stopped identification information image is displayed, so that the state shifts to the reach or jackpot state. It is also possible to change this background image as a reach announcement or jackpot announcement means. In this case, one of the plurality of variable symbols
When the change of one symbol stops, the background image associated with the stopped symbol is displayed, so that the reach announcement or the jackpot announcement can be performed.

In the case where the reach notice or the jackpot notice is deviated, for example, the left symbol is "2" first, and the reach notice or the jackpot notice is performed, but the next right symbol is "2". When stopped at "4", the image on the image of February, named after the first left symbol "February", for example, Ton-chan runs and practices on a snow-covered riverbank in cold wind blowing The directing expression was displayed by displaying the background image that shows the effort,
The next pattern on the right side is "4", and the image of April is named after the "April". For example, a row of cherry blossoms with cherry blossoms scattered around the cherry blossoms floating and dancing. Is performed by displaying a background image showing that Ton-chan is running and immersing himself in practice. In this way, even when the reach notice or the jackpot notice is missed, the player can enjoy the unexpectedness of the change display of the background image that does not have the feeling of falling off the notice or removes it. Can be.

Further, the symbol, which is the identification information displayed on the left symbol, is variably displayed as a symbol such as "1" or "7", and the background image is changed according to the symbol. As a result, an image indicating the progress of the month and day is displayed, and it is possible to perform an effect expression indicating a temporal change indicating the flow of the month and the time. In the above-described embodiment, the case where the symbol associated with the date is a numerical value such as "1" or "7" has been described. However, another symbol that can indicate the date, for example, a watermelon symbol Or cherry blossoms. When a background image corresponding to a pattern is displayed with the identification information as a pattern associated with such a date, an effect screen in which the identification information image and the background image are integrated can be displayed. Further, the background image is not limited to being changed in accordance with the symbol displayed on the left side, but may be changed in accordance with the symbol displayed in the center or the symbol displayed on the right side. Also, the background image may be changed according to the symbol that stops first, the background image may be changed according to the symbol that stops second, or the background image may be changed according to the symbol that stops last. It may be that. Further, the background image may be changed every time the symbol fluctuates according to all three symbols.
With such a configuration, it is possible to display a variety of effect screens. Further, the background image may be changed by scrolling the background image. When the background image is scroll-displayed, it is possible to produce an effect in which the date and time pass smoothly.

Further, when the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, the fluctuation of the background image may be stopped. By stopping the fluctuation of the background image and displaying the background image,
This makes it easier for the player to see the stopped symbols. Further, when the background image is changed in accordance with the change of all the symbols, the background image may be stopped when the change of any one of the symbols is stopped.
The background image may be stopped when all the symbols have stopped changing. In a gaming machine of this type having a game such as a variable display game, it is important that the operator can easily identify the determined symbol. Therefore, when the symbol is stopped and determined, the background image is also changed. By stopping the game, the result of the game can be easily seen by the player.

It is to be noted that such a change of the background image can also be made by preparing an image larger than the screen formation in advance and scrolling and displaying this image. In this case, the background of January based on the design “1”, the background of February based on the design “2”,. Forming a background image and scrolling the background associated with each symbol as the symbol changes from "1" → "2" → ... → "12" → "1" Thus, the background image on the display unit can be changed.

As described in the above-described embodiment, by displaying an effect screen for changing the background image in accordance with the design which is the identification information, the player can enjoy the flow of the month, the flow of the time, and the flow of the season. You can feel changes over time such as changes,
It is possible to enjoy the production screen without getting tired of the game.

In the present embodiment, the case where an image representing a numerical value indicating the date and time is used as a symbol and an image representing the passage of the date and time is used as a background image has been described. The present invention is not limited to images showing the passage of months and days. For example, a fruit pattern may be adopted as a design, and a city landscape or the like according to the place of origin of the fruit may be displayed. More specifically, "Guinea" according to the hit pattern of "Melon", "Malaysia" according to the hit pattern of "banana", "Brazil" and "Orange" according to the hit pattern of "pineapple" The scenery of each city of "Turkey" is displayed according to the design of "California" and "Cherry" according to the design. In such an example, the player can feel like traveling around the world by watching the scenery and the like of each city while enjoying the game, and without getting bored with the game while enjoying the effect screen. You can enjoy it.
