[0031]

[Table 5]

The production selection condition inference processing (B105) shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the command is received by interruption and the process is started, first, in step S10, it is determined whether the probability is changing.
Check by referring to the mode column of the latest tabulation start data in Table 5 (b) above. If the probability is changing, the process ends without performing the effect selection condition inference processing, and the probability changing state is maintained. As shown in the mode column of the latest tabulation start data in Table 5 (b), which is not during the probability change, (normal), that is, when the jackpot probability is normal, the production selection condition inference process (B105) is started in step S15. The conditions are also shown in Table 5 (b).
Check by referring to the start column of the latest aggregation start data of. If the player change condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S20.
If the start condition is after the big hit, the process proceeds to step S25.

In step S20, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number of starts, that is, the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation patterns of the numbers 1 to 14 (start number, the same applies hereinafter) is 200 or more.
Check by referring to the total column of the latest aggregation start data in (b).
Further, in step S25, whether or not the cumulative number of starts, that is, the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation patterns of numbered 1 to 14 is 300 or more is also checked by referring to the total column of the latest tabulation start data in Table 5 (b). . If the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation pattern is less than 200 in the inspection of step S20, step S
If the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation pattern is less than 300 in the inspection of 25, the production selection condition inference processing is ended in each case.
If the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation pattern is 200 or more in the inspection of step S20, or if the number of occurrences of the pattern variation pattern is 300 or more in the inspection of step S25, the process proceeds to step S30.

In step S30, the average fluctuation time (Table 5
The difference between the latest totalization start data in (a) is 9.89 seconds) and the average fluctuation time (9.84 seconds) in the specifications shown in the pattern fluctuation pattern distribution data in Table 2 is calculated. If it is less than -5 seconds, the pattern variation pattern that is least generated in step S35 is set as the priority selection condition and stored in the designated area of the memory. Specifically, referring to the cumulative column of the actual operation data (Table 4 (a)), the deviation variation (number 8
Pattern variation pattern) is the priority selection condition. And
It proceeds to step S45.

If the calculated value in step S30 is within ± 5 seconds, the cumulative occurrence rate of the latest data in step S40 is a pattern variation pattern that is smaller than the specification occurrence rate indicated by the symbol variation pattern distribution data in Table 2. Is stored as a priority selection condition in a specified area of the memory. Specifically, the difference between the cumulative occurrence rate of the latest data (Table 5 (a)) and the occurrence rate according to the above specifications is displayed as the display name (reach 1 to 1) of the symbol variation pattern.
6) Calculate each time. Display name reach with the largest difference (in the case of display name reach 1, 10.00-9.46 = 0.
Outlier variation (maximum in 54) (symbol variation pattern of number 2) is set as a priority selection condition and stored in a predetermined area of the memory. Then, the process proceeds to step S45.

In step S45, step S45 is performed.
It is checked whether or not the symbol variation pattern that matches the priority selection conditions in 35 and step S40 is stored in a predetermined area of the memory. If it does not exist, the warp effect is set as a priority selection condition in step S50, and the designated data of the warp effect is stored in a predetermined area of the memory. If it exists, the production selection condition inference processing ends. If the calculated value exceeds 5 seconds in step S30, the joint effect is set as a priority selection condition in step S55, and the specified data of the joint effect is stored in a predetermined area of the memory.

The warp effect in step S50 and the joint effect in step S55 will be described with reference to Table 6, FIG. 5 and FIG. Table 6 shows an example of the pattern variation pattern used for the warp effect and the joint effect. Design variation patterns of numbered 51 to 54 (reach 5
1 to 54) are the fluctuation times shown in Table 6, respectively, and different fluctuation contents can be displayed. For example, number 5
The variation pattern of the reach 51 of 1 has a variation time of 10
Although three symbols are displayed in a horizontal row in a second, the central symbol has a high-speed fluctuating content.

[0038]

[Table 6]

An example of the warp effect will be described with reference to FIG. First, the warp effect is a symbol variation pattern (numbered 54, reach 54 (variation time 45
Sec)) and the symbol variation pattern (numbering 53, reach 53 (variation time 30 seconds)) to be warped. Then, until a certain fixed time (remaining time X seconds in the figure), the normally selected symbol fluctuation pattern (number 54, reach 54 (fluctuation time 45 seconds)) is executed, and warping is performed in accordance with the remaining time X seconds. Switch to the symbol variation pattern (numbered 53, reach 53 (variation time 30 seconds)) and execute.

An example of the joint effect will be described with reference to FIG. The joint effect first refers to the symbol variation pattern corresponding to the received command, and calculates the variation time (45 seconds). Then, when combined, the two symbol variation patterns (number 52 (reach 5
2) and number 53 (reach 53)) are selected and combined, the symbol variation pattern of number 52 is executed, and then number 5
The symbol variation pattern of 3 is executed.

As described above, the effect selection process (B107)
When is executed, the image display is executed by the display control process (B108) in time according to the effect method.

FIG. 7 shows another production selection condition inference process (B10).
5 is a flowchart showing an outline of 5). When the command is interrupted and the processing is started, first, in step S
The pattern variation pattern corresponding to the received command at 100,
It is selected from the latest tabulation start data shown in Table 5 (a) and stored in a predetermined area of the memory. In a succeeding step S105, modularization of the number of tables is calculated from the designated counter value and the extraction result (numerical data of several bytes) from the random number table for the detailed effect, and the corresponding code is selected to determine the effect content. Tables 7 (a) and 7 (b) exemplify a detailed effect selection table, and Table 7 (a) is a notice selection table for notifying the player of the occurrence of reach. For example, the code 1 is a name (star notice), the content of which is a star glittering on the entire upper side of the screen. Table 7 (b) is an appearance character selection table. For example, the code 1 is a name (girl) and a girl character is displayed.

[0043]

[Table 7]

In step S110, whether or not the probability is changing is checked with reference to the mode column of the latest tabulation start data in Table 5 (b). If the probability is changing, it is not necessary to perform the effect selection condition inference process, and the process ends. As shown in the mode column of the latest aggregation start data in Table 5 (b), which is not during the probability change (normal), that is, when the jackpot probability is normal, the production selection condition inference process (B105) is started in step S115. The condition is also checked by referring to the start column of the latest tabulation start data in Table 5 (b). If the player change condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S120. Also,
If the start condition is after the big hit, the process proceeds to step S125.

In step S120, the cumulative number of starts, that is, the number of times of occurrence of the symbol variation patterns of the numbers 1 to 14 is 2
Whether it is 00 or more is checked by referring to the total column of the latest tabulation start data in Table 5 (b). In addition, in step S125, whether the cumulative number of starts, that is, the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation patterns of numbered 1 to 14 is 300 or more, is also shown in Table 5
Check by referring to the total column of the latest aggregation start data in (b).
If the number of times the pattern variation pattern is generated is less than 200 in the inspection in step S120, and if the number of times the pattern variation pattern is generated is less than 300 in the inspection in step S125, the production selection condition inference processing is ended. When the number of times of occurrence of the pattern variation pattern is 200 or more in the inspection of step S120, and when the number of times of occurrence of the symbol variation pattern is 300 or more in the inspection of step S125, respectively, step S13.
Go to 0.

In step S130, it is checked with reference to a predetermined area of the memory whether or not the designated data of the selected pattern variation pattern, warp effect or joint effect is stored. If it is not stored, the effect selection condition inference processing ends. If it is stored, it is checked in step S135 whether it is the warp effect designation data or the joint effect designation data. If it is not the designated data of the warp effect or the joint effect, the numbering of the symbol variation pattern stored in the memory in step S140 is compared with the numbering of the symbol variation pattern corresponding to the received command.

When the numbering of the symbol variation pattern stored in the memory and the numbering of the symbol variation pattern corresponding to the received command match in the inspection of the subsequent step S145, the effect selection condition inference processing is ended. If they do not match, step S
Proceed to 150, and inspect whether the variation time of each symbol variation pattern is the same. If the variation times are not the same, the symbol variation pattern by the normal method is selected, and the effect selection condition inference processing is ended. If the fluctuation times are the same, step S
Proceeding to 155, a pattern variation pattern is selected based on effect selection condition inference. Then, it progresses to step S165. If it is the designated data of the warp effect or the joint effect in the inspection of step S135, the process proceeds to step S160, the warp or the joint effect pattern is selected from the variation time corresponding to the received command, and the process proceeds to step S165.

The selection of the warp or joint effect pattern is extracted from the warp / joint effect selection table shown in Table 8 based on the variation time. For example, if the symbol variation pattern corresponding to the received command in step S100 is the symbol variation pattern of number 8, the variation time is 4
8 seconds. Therefore, in the case of warp production, [0] number 8
And a combination of the symbol variation patterns of number 4 and [1] a combination of the symbol variation patterns of numbers 8 and 6 and [2]
Combination 3 of the pattern variation patterns of number 10 and number 4
The types are extracted and stored in the specified array in order. In the case of joint production, [0] combination of the pattern variation patterns of number 13 and number 6, [1] combination of symbol variation patterns of number 14 × 5 and number 2 and [2] number 2 × 2 Three types of combinations of the number 13 × 2 symbol variation patterns are extracted and stored in the designated array in order.

[0049]

[Table 8]

Then, the result from the designated counter (numerical data of several bytes) is modularized by the number of candidates, and the pattern variation pattern of the corresponding array offset is selected. For example,
When the designated counter value is 23578 (decimal number, 2 bytes), when the surplus of 3 is taken from the number of candidates 3, it becomes 1, and the combination of the symbol variation patterns of offset 1 is selected.
Therefore, in the case of the warp effect, the combination of the symbol variation patterns of numbered numbers 8 and 6 is selected. In the case of a joint effect, a combination of the number 14 × 5 and number 2 symbol variation patterns is selected.

The above steps S155 and S16
The selection result of 0 is stored in the designated area of the memory to initialize the selection variation data area. When such an effect selection process (B107) is executed, the symbol variation pattern selected by the display control process (B108) is displayed in time according to the effect method.

Table 9 shows an example of the sound effect pattern. For example, the sound effect pattern name of number 61 (support)
Has an output time of 10 seconds, and the content is for light support such as "Gambatte".

[0053]

[Table 9]

The following are examples of effect sound effects. (1) No sound effect until 200 starts. (2) When the number of start times exceeds 200, the effect sound pattern name (support) of the number 61 is output and the robot character of code 3 selected from the appearing character selection table of Table 7 (b) is displayed. To do.
(3) Number 62 when the number of starts exceeds 250
While outputting the sound effect pattern name (request) of,
The code 2 bear character selected from the appearance character selection table of Table 7 (b) is displayed.

When the number of starts exceeds 300, the sound effect pattern name (data analysis 1) of number 63 is output and the girl character of selection code 2 in Table 7 (b) is displayed. Furthermore, the number of starts is 350
When the number of times is exceeded, the sound effect pattern name of number 64 (data analysis 2) is output and the girl character is also displayed. The output of these sound effect patterns is
At the same time, the player can concentrate on the game for a long time by receiving the auditory stimulus in combination with the visual stimulus of the pattern variation pattern displayed based on the display of the character and the effect selection processing result.

As described above, the symbol display device for gaming machine according to the present invention does not display the symbols in a uniform variation pattern, but can display the symbol variation pattern by effect selection processing and also display sound effects. This allows the player to continue playing for a long time without getting tired.
