As a result, the player moves down toward the lower side of the game board 14 while changing its traveling direction.

  In the center of the front surface of the game board 14, a start port 44, a shutter 40, and the like are provided. On the condition that a game ball has entered the start port 44, variable display of identification information is executed on the liquid crystal display device 32. Further, as will be described in detail later, according to the result of the variable display of this identification information, a big hit gaming state (a specific gaming state, so-called “hit”) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state is obtained. When the big hit game state is reached, the shutter 40 is controlled to be in the open state, and the open state where the game ball can be received in the big prize opening 39 may be brought about. Moreover, in such a game board 14, various kinds of accessories can be attached.

  As described above, the base door 13 on which the glass door 11, the game board 14, the dish unit 21, and the launching device 130 are disposed is pivotally attached to the wooden frame 12, as shown in FIG. An opening 13 a is formed at the center of the base door 13. For this reason, the display area 32 a of the liquid crystal display device 32 disposed behind the base door 13 can be viewed from the front through the transmissive game board 14 and the protective glass 19. In addition, above the base door 13, speakers 46L and 46R are provided as effect execution means.

  The liquid crystal display device 32 described above is disposed on the base door 13. The liquid crystal display device 32 has a display area 32a for displaying an image relating to a game. In the liquid crystal display device 32, the game board 14 is disposed rearward (back side) through the opening 13a. Further, the liquid crystal display device 32 is disposed so that the display area 32a overlaps all or part of the game board 14 from the back side through the opening 13a. As will be described in detail later, the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 relates to various games such as identification information in a special symbol game, decorative symbols accompanying identification information in a special symbol game, a background image related to a game, and an effect image. The image is displayed in a predetermined display mode.

  In particular, as will be described in detail later, the liquid crystal display device 32 displays a plurality of baskets for each player and one or a plurality of opponents as a manual of the player and one or a plurality of opponents. For example, a player and opponent's hand (selected hand symbol group) selected from a plurality of traps (hand symbol group), a player and opponent's abandoned trap, and the like are displayed. . Further, in the game imitating mahjong, an effect that the player plays against the opponent is executed by using the hand of one or more opponents.

  Further, when the player's hand is in a specific display form composed of a predetermined symbol combination, control for shifting to the big hit gaming state is performed. In addition, this specific display mode includes a plurality of types of display modes in which the value of a rising combination is divided into several stages. Further, when the player's hand is in a special display mode, the player is shifted to the big hit gaming state, and after the game is finished, the player is shifted to the probability changing gaming state. In other words, the special display mode is the first condition for a predetermined symbol combination, and the established combination is more than full (a display mode at a stage having a certain value or more among a plurality of types of display modes). And the like.

  Furthermore, as will be described later, one or a plurality of effect blocks selected from a plurality of effect blocks composed of effect image data, audio data, lamp blinking patterns, etc. are combined in time series to produce an effect pattern. Based on the pattern, an effect (image, sound, and lamp related to the game) corresponding to one variable display of the identification information is executed. As a specific example, the ratio of the type of discarded jar is determined, and an effect image corresponding to the determined result (for example, an effect image such as “Pins is high”, “Saws is cheap”, etc.) is displayed. May be. The liquid crystal display device 32 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of display means, variable display means, symbol display means, excluded symbol effect execution means, and effect execution means. Of course, the excluded symbol effect execution means is not limited to displaying an image, but may be a device that generates sound, a lamp that emits light, or a combination thereof.

  As described above, when a game is being played from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 10 by the player, that is, when the glass door 11 is in a closed state, a liquid crystal display is provided on the back side of the permeable gaming board 14. Since the device 32 is provided and the protective glass 19 having transparency is provided on the front side of the game board 14, the image displayed on the display area 32a in the liquid crystal display device 32 has transparency. It becomes visible to the player through the board 14 and the protective glass 19.

  For this reason, as will be described in detail later, a liquid crystal display device 32 is disposed on the back surface of the gaming board 14 having transparency, and various presentations are performed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32, so that a conventional gaming machine can be provided. It is possible to provide a novel display effect that was not found, and to improve the interest. Further, in the conventional gaming machine, there is a possibility that the size of the game area is reduced by increasing the size of the display area. Further, displaying various images without increasing the size of the display area may cause troublesome visual recognition for the player. Therefore, by executing a display effect as described later, it is possible to execute a variety of effects independent of the size of the display area in the liquid crystal display device 32, and to improve the interest. In addition, since a gap is provided between the game board 14 and the liquid crystal display device 32 disposed behind the game board 14, an impact is transmitted to the liquid crystal display device 32 when the obstacle nail is adjusted. The liquid crystal display device 32 can be prevented from being damaged and the product life of the liquid crystal display device 32 can be prolonged. Note that the liquid crystal display device 32 may be provided with holes for an accessory, a winning opening, a ball distribution, a reel arrangement, and the like.

  As an example of an image displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32, identification information in a special symbol game is given. For example, identification information in a special symbol game is variably displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32. This identification information is mainly composed of special symbols in the special symbol game. This identification information is a pattern made up of numbers, symbols, and the like. In this embodiment, numbers from “0” to “9” are used.

  “Variable display” is a concept that can be displayed in a variable manner. For example, a “variable display” that is actually displayed in a variable state, a “stop display” that is displayed in a stopped state, etc. It is. In addition, “variable display” can be “derivation display” in which identification information is displayed as a result of a special symbol game. Further, the period from the start of the variable display to the derivation display is referred to as one variable display. Further, temporarily displaying (stop display) before the identification information is derived and displayed is referred to as temporary display (temporary stop display). Furthermore, when the temporarily displayed identification information is variably displayed again is referred to as redisplay (revariable display).

  On the liquid crystal display device 32, identification information corresponding to a plurality of symbol rows (three rows in the present embodiment) is variably displayed. Identification information is derived and displayed in the plurality of symbol sequences, and the combination of the plurality of identification information derived and displayed is a specific display mode (for example, any one of “0” to “9” in each of the plurality of symbol sequences). In other words, the game state is shifted to a jackpot gaming state that is advantageous to the player based on the fact that the game is derived and displayed in a state in which all of them are arranged, so-called “hit display mode”). The combination of the plurality of identification information derived and displayed is a special display mode (for example, “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” for each of the plurality of symbol columns). , Based on the fact that all of “9” are derived and displayed in a state in which all of them are aligned, so-called “probability change jackpot display mode”), the game state is determined to be a jackpot game state (probability change jackpot that is advantageous to the player). When the game state is reached and the jackpot game state is completed, the game state is shifted to the probability change state (special game state). This probability variation state is a gaming state in which a big hit is made with a higher probability than in the normal gaming state (control to shift to the big hit gaming state is performed). The jackpot gaming state that shifts to the probability variation state is referred to as a probability variation jackpot gaming state, and the jackpot gaming state that does not transition to the probability variation state is generally referred to as a jackpot gaming state. In addition, the fact that it is determined that the game state is a promising big hit game state is referred to as a probable big hit game state, and the fact that it is determined that the normal big hit game state is established is referred to as a normal big hit.

  The gaming state in this embodiment includes a short-time gaming state in addition to the big hit gaming state and the probability variation state. The short-time gaming state is a gaming state in which the variation time of the identification information in the special symbol game is shortened compared to the normal gaming state, and the variation time of the identification symbol in the normal symbol game is shortened compared to the normal gaming state. Also, the short-time gaming state is a gaming state in which the manner of opening and closing the blade member 48 according to the result of the normal symbol game is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. By controlling in this way, it becomes easy for the game ball to win the start opening 44. That is, the short-time gaming state is a gaming state in which the number of times that the variable information start condition for identifying information per predetermined time is satisfied in a special symbol game is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 32 composed of a liquid crystal display panel is used as a portion for displaying an image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other modes may be used. For example, a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) is used. It may be composed of a cathode ray tube, a dot LED, a segment LED, an EL (Electronic Luminescent), plasma, or the like.

  The above-described wooden frame 12 is a wooden frame, and a base door 13 is pivotally mounted in front of the wooden frame 12 as shown in FIG. In addition, in this embodiment, although it was set as the structure which used the wooden wooden frame 12, it is not restricted to this, For example, another aspect may be sufficient, for example, as a structure using metal and resin frames.

It is driven to become. Further, the special winning opening has a specific area (not shown) having a V / count sensor 102 (see FIG. 4) and a general area (not shown) having a count sensor 104 (see FIG. 4). The shutter 40 is driven to the open state until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls pass through these areas or until a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. In other words, when either of the conditions for winning a predetermined number of game balls in the grand prize opening or the elapse of a predetermined time is satisfied in the open state, the big prize opening is closed so that it is difficult to accept the game balls. Subsequently, the shutter 40, which has been changed from the open state to the closed state (second state), is once again on condition that the game ball received in the big winning opening in the open state has passed through the V-count sensor 102. Driven to the open state. That is, the game ball received when the grand prize winning opening is in the open state passes the specific area provided in the big winning prize opening, and then is opened again after being closed.

  A start opening 44 having a start winning ball sensor 116 (see FIG. 4) is provided above the shutter 40. When a game ball wins at the starting port 44, a special symbol game, which will be described later, is started, and the state shifts to a variable display state in which a plurality of columns of identification information are displayed in a variable manner. As a variable display start condition (predetermined change start condition) of the identification information, in this embodiment, the main condition is that a game ball has won a winning opening 44. That is, the variable display of the identification information is performed every time the variable display start condition for the predetermined identification information is satisfied. In the embodiment, the predetermined display information variable display start condition is that a game ball has been won at the start port 44, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  In addition, when a game ball wins the start opening 44 during the variable display of the identification information in the special symbol game, the game ball wins the start opening 44 until the identification information in the variable display is derived and displayed. Execution (start) of variable display of identification information based is suspended, that is, if a predetermined variable display hold condition is satisfied, execution of variable display of identification information (until the predetermined variable display start condition is satisfied) Start) will be put on hold. If the identification information is derived and displayed in a state where execution of variable display of the identification information is suspended, execution of variable display of the identification information held is started. In addition, when the identification information is derived and displayed, the variable display of the identification information is executed once. For example, when the identification information is derived and displayed in a state where execution of variable display of the identification information is held three times, one of the variable display of the identification information held is executed once, and the remaining two are displayed. The batch is held.

  The number of executions of the variable display of the identification information being held (so-called “holding number”, “holding number for special symbols”) is displayed by the number of holding ball number images 90 (see FIG. 25) described later. An upper limit is set for the number of executions of the variable display of the identification information to be held. For example, the variable display of the identification information is held up to 4 times. For example, in the state where execution of variable display of identification information is held three times, when a game ball wins the start opening 44, execution of the fourth time is held, but execution of variable display of identification information is executed. If the game ball wins the start port 44 in a state where it is held for four times, the fifth execution is not held, and the state where the variable display of the identification information is held for four times is maintained. It becomes. In the present embodiment, the variable information display is suspended with the upper limit being four times. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one or more times may be set as the upper limit. As such, the variable display of the identification information may be suspended, and further, the identification information may be suspended without setting an upper limit.

The variation pattern 07 is a variation pattern whose variation time is “6 seconds”. The fluctuation pattern 08 is a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is “8 seconds”. The variation pattern 09 is a variation pattern whose variation time is “10 seconds”. The fluctuation pattern 0A is a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is “12 seconds”. The fluctuation pattern 0B is a fluctuation pattern whose fluctuation time is “14 seconds”. The fluctuation patterns 0C to 11 are fluctuation patterns having a fluctuation time of “34 seconds”.

  The variation pattern thus determined is supplied from the main control circuit 60 to the sub control circuit 200 as a variation pattern designation command. As a result, various production patterns are determined. Further, since the table in which the variation pattern and the variation time are associated is stored in the program ROM 208, the variation pattern designation command indicating the variation pattern is supplied from the main control circuit 60 to the sub control circuit 200, so that Also in the control circuit 200, the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern can be recognized. That is, the program ROM 208 of the sub-control circuit 200 stores such a variation pattern and the variation time of the variation pattern in association with each other, that is, the derivation display after the identification information starts the variation display. The variation time until it is stored is stored. Such a program ROM 208 corresponds to an example of a variable display time storage unit.

[Schedule rising role determination table]
In addition, the scheduled winning combination determination table stored in the program ROM 208 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Even if the scheduled winning combination determination table described below is not stored in the program ROM 208, data and programs having such functions may be stored in the program ROM 208.

  The scheduled winning combination determination table is referred to when a catering condition (predetermined initial hand setting condition) is satisfied, and is used to determine a scheduled rising combination in advance before a predetermined rising combination is established. Is. This distribution condition is established before the distribution of the manual (distribution). As shown in FIG. 6, the scheduled winning combination determination table associates the scheduled winning combination with the selection probability of the scheduled winning combination corresponding to the gaming state or the like. In the present embodiment, for the purpose of easy understanding, the random number value for determining the expected winning combination is expressed as a selection probability.

  The scheduled winning combination is a rising combination that is determined in advance when a catering condition is satisfied, and based on the scheduled rising combination, a plurality of mahjong tiles (initial hand) for a player A plurality of hand symbols) will be displayed. By pre-scheduled winning combination is determined in advance, it is possible to control the game development.

  The selection probabilities are set in the normal gaming state, in the short-time gaming state, in the probability variation state, in the normal role limited mode, and in the full role limited mode. In the normal gaming state, the short-time gaming state, and the probability variation state, the gaming state related to the game is determined, and when the determined result is the normal gaming state, the selection probability in the normal gaming state is referred to. In the short-time gaming state, the selection probability in the short-time gaming state is referred to, and in the case of the probability variation state, the selection probability in the probability variation state is referred to. That is, the gaming state relating to the game is determined, and the scheduled winning combination is selected (determined) based on the determined gaming state. In addition, when the normal combination is limited, the main control circuit 60 shifts to the normal big hit gaming state from the main control circuit 60 (changes to the normal gaming state or the short-time gaming state after changing to the big hit gaming state). It is referred to on the condition that the designated command is supplied, and a normal combination that is not full is established. When the bonus is limited, the main control circuit 60 is supplied with a variation pattern designation command indicating that the main control circuit 60 shifts to the probable big hit gaming state (after going to the big hit gaming state, then goes to the probable variation state), and , Referred to on the condition that other start memory information is included in the other start memory information, and at the time of serving, the servicing is aligned, double serving (Tenwa + other servicing etc.) is established Will be allowed to. When the normal combination is limited and when the full combination is limited, the selection probability when the normal combination is limited and the selection probability when the full combination is limited are selected regardless of the gaming state. Of course, there is no duplication when the regular role is limited and when the role is limited. Further, the selection probabilities when the normal combination is limited and when the full combination is limited are referred to when a special effect that is not executed in the normal state is executed.

  Specifically, for the scheduled role, as a normal role with a relatively low score in the mahjong game, jumble mixed system, servant system, peace system, Tanyao system, all belt system, three dark system, three colors The same order system, straight-through system, seven-pair system, mixed-color system, clear-color system, and pure all-band system are set. Note that the jumbled system includes a vertical system. Also included in the mahjong game are relatively high-ranking roles such as Kushishi Musou, Shikikiki, Daisangen, Koshiki, Character One Color, Kiyo Elephant, Green One Color, Large Wheels, Kuju Baoji. It is.

  The roles that can be established by ringing (obtaining and adding) the opponent's abandoned trap (opponent exclusion symbol) include the role type, Tanyao type, all types Includes obi, tri-dark, tri-color, in-line, mixed-color, mixed-color, clear-color, pure all-band, large ternary, small four-colored, one-color, one-green. The selection probability in the normal gaming state is “10%” for the jumble mixed system, “10%” for the executive system, “10%” for the peace system, “10%” for the Tanyao system, and “10” for the all belt system. % ”, Three-dark system“ 10% ”, three-color same-order system“ 5% ”, straight-through system“ 5% ”, seven-pair system“ 2% ”, mixed-color system“ 5 ” % ", Kiyoichi Color System" 3% ", Pure Whole Belt System" 3% ", Kokushi Musou" 3% ", Shikoku" 2% ", Dai Sangen" 2% ", Koshiko Is set to “2%”, the character color is “2%”, the elder head is “2%”, the green color is “2%”, the large wheel is “1%”, and the nine consecutive Bao-jang is “1%” ing. The selection probability in the short-time gaming state is “50%” for the mixed system, “10%” for the mixed color system, “10%” for the solid color system, “14%” for the pure all belt system, “2%”, “4%” is “2%”, “Daisen” is “2%”, “Koshiki” is “2%”, “Character” is “2%”, “Kiyo” is “2%”, “Green” “2%” is set as “1%” for large wheels and “1%” for Kuju Baoji. The selection probability in the probabilistic state is 5% for the mixed system, 15% for the trichromatic system, 10% for the mixed color system, 10% for the solid color system, and the pure all-band system. Is "20%", Kokushi Musou is "5%", the four engravings are "5%", Dai Sangen is "5%", Koshiki is "5%", and the character is "5%" The old head is set to “5%”, the green color is set to “5%”, the large wheels are set to “3%”, and the nine consecutive treasures are set to “2%”. The selection probability when the normal role is limited is set to “100%” for the jumbled system. The selection probabilities when the role is limited are “25%” for Kokushi Musou, “25%” for Daisangen, “10%” for Kosiki, “10%” for character, and “10%” for Kiyoi head. The green color is set to “10%”, the large wheel is set to “7%”, and the nine consecutive jewels are set to “3%”.

  By setting the selection probability in this way, the normal combination is easily established in the normal gaming state. Also, in the short-time gaming state, a jumble system is easily established, and a one-color system and a pure all-band system are also easily established. Furthermore, in the probabilistic state, it is easy to achieve full use, and one-color system, pure all-band system, and three-color system are also easily established.

[Table in work RAM]
Various tables stored in the work RAM 210 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the work RAM 210 includes a spear table, a hand spear table, a climbing spear type table, a spear spear table, a player effective spear table, a player invalid spear table, a opponent rising hand table, a battle The other party's scheduled discard table 1 to 3, the discard table etc. are stored.

  A specific table will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The bag table is stored in the work RAM 210. As shown in FIG. 8, the number of mahjong tiles set in advance for each type is stored in this tile table, and mahjong tiles such as hand tiles, tsumo tiles, and scheduled discard tiles are used (others) The number stored in the bag table is subtracted based on the type of bag. That is, by using this bag table, the number of unused bags that are not stored in various tables described below, in other words, that have not been used yet, is counted. In addition, the initial value of this tile table (four tiles for each mahjong tile) is stored in the program ROM 208. That is, the program ROM 208 stores a plurality of preset symbols (designs). In the present embodiment, the program ROM 208 that stores the bag table corresponds to an example of a symbol storage unit. In addition, the program ROM 208 stores information on the above-described multiple types of bags, and by combining these multiple types of bags, multiple types of scheduled rising cards, multiple types of reach cards, and the like are determined. The Rukoto. That is, the program ROM 208 corresponds to an example of a reach mode storage unit that stores a plurality of reach modes.

  The manual table is stored in the work RAM 210. As shown in FIG. 9, the present hand table stores the current type of player's hand (player's hand). The player's hand is composed of a plurality of hands (a plurality of hand symbols). As a result of the scheduled winning combination being determined based on the above-described scheduled winning combination determination table, this manual table stores a player's rising score generated based on the scheduled rising combination. Further, when a player's hand is exchanged by a predetermined exchange control, the hand table is updated based on the exchanged game (including added game and discarded game). That is, the work RAM 210 that stores the manual table corresponds to an example of a variable display mode storage unit that stores the mode of the manual (the result of variable display of identification information) in the liquid crystal display device 32.

  The rising saddle type table is stored in the work RAM 210 and stores the types of rising saddles (waiting and rising candidate symbols) that can be Ron and Tsumo. For example, in the case of waiting for both sides of “second base” and “third base”, the types of rising bases “first base” and “four bases” are stored. Specifically, when the arrangement condition is satisfied, the above-mentioned scheduled up combination determination table (FIG. 6) is referred to, and the scheduled up combination of the player is determined. Then, based on the determined player's scheduled winning combination (for example, three colors in the same order), a scheduled rising hand (scheduled hand symbol) is determined as shown in FIG. Then, one of the player's scheduled uplifts is extracted as the scheduled uptake, and the uplift including the one outage is determined. For example, in the case where “gogo” is extracted from the scheduled game of the player shown in FIG. 10, the “gogo” table described above adds “gogo” as shown in FIG. As a result, it is stored as a reach hand (a group of hands that can be raised) in which a predetermined rising combination is established. Then, the reach table stored in the table table is referred to determine the waiting queue. This waiting rod is a rising rod that becomes a specific display mode (a predetermined rising combination is established) by being added to the table except for the scheduled rising column. The type of rising soot generated in this way is stored in the rising soot type table. In mah-jongg, “Kokushi Musou” waiting for 13 faces is the maximum waiting number, and a maximum of 13 types of rising frogs are stored.

  The rising eye table is stored in the work RAM 210. The rising haze table stores all of the above rising haze. For example, in the case of waiting for both sides of “second base” and “third base”, for example, rising bases “first base” and “four bases” are stored. Note that this rising kite table does not store the kite included in the player's manual except for the above kite, that is, the kite stored in the manual table. For example, when “Hachiman” and “Yawata” are stored as a player's manual, when “Waman” is waiting, two of the four “Hachiman” are raised and stored in the table. Will be. In mahjong, waiting for 13 faces of “Kokushi Musou” is the maximum waiting number, so a maximum of 39 (it includes the nineteen-letters in the player ’s hand, so it ’s the product of 13 and 3)牌 will be memorized.

  The player effective game table is stored in the work RAM 210. As shown in FIG. 12, the player effective game table is a table of reach when replacing unnecessary reach (initial unnecessary symbols) at the time of delivery from reach reach (see FIG. 11) excluding the uplift. The cocoons that are replaced with the unnecessary cocoons at the time of serving are stored as effective cocoons (effective symbols). For example, among the manuals shown in FIG. 11, as shown in FIG. 12, “three bases”, “four pipes”, “five lines”, and “eight lines” are determined as the player's effective bases, It is stored in the Tsumo coffee table. Also, in this case, the player's manual is "Sanjo", "Yakutsu", "Goko", "Yoko" is "East", "White", "Yakutsu", "Ikko" It will be replaced as an unneeded pot when serving.

  It should be noted that the unnecessary tiles at the time of distribution are those other than those stored (used) in various tables such as the manual table and the rising table among the baskets stored in the table, that is, the various tables described above. It will be selected from unused bags that have not yet been stored. In addition, the unnecessary baskets selected from the unused baskets are added to the player's non-replacement hand (non-replacement hand symbol) excluding the valid hand, so that It is selected from irrelevant traps (irrelevant symbols) that do not have a predetermined relationship. An example of such a predetermined relationship is a relationship in which a player's hand excluding an effective kite and an unnecessary kite at the time of distribution constitute a tart, face, etc., and has such a predetermined relationship. There are no traps that are irrelevant.

  The player invalid game table is stored in the work RAM 210. This player invalidity mode table stores a player's useless mode (player unnecessary pattern) that is tapped as an unnecessary amount in the player's manual except at the time of distribution. It is selected from unused baskets that have not yet been stored in the various tables described above, such as a rising basket table or a player-enabled game basket table. In addition, as in the case of the unnecessary bag at the time of the above-described arrangement, a bag having a predetermined relationship is not selected.

  In addition, when an unnecessary spear is replaced as a player's hand in this way, it is determined whether or not the expected winning combination is a winning combination even if a throwing spear is sounded. However, if it is determined that the winning combination is established, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), among the hand picks stored in the hand picking table, the face constituting the face that can be squeezed (obtained) is used. On the other hand, the squeal flag is set. For example, as shown in FIG. 13A, “a” and “b” are attached to the heel capable of chewing, and “A” is attached to the heel capable of pong. Further, by adding to the kite for which the squeal flag is set, a squeak song to be used as a face is generated, and as shown in FIG. 13B, the squeak flag is set for the valid kite in the valid claw table. The In this case, the same flag (for example, the same flag “A”, etc.) is set for each of the faces constituting the face as the squeak flag in the hand table and the squeeze flag in the effective wheel table. Are associated with the singing song. Note that this singing habit list does not include rising habits.

  The opponent rising hand table is stored in the work RAM 210. As shown in FIG. 14, the opponent rising hand table stores an opponent's rising hand used when the opponent goes up. The table is selected from unused cards that are not yet stored in the various tables described above, such as a table and a player invalid game table.

  The opponent scheduled discarding tables 1 to 3 are stored in the work RAM 210. The opponent's scheduled discard table 1 to 3 stores the opponent's scheduled discard trap discarded from the opponent's manual, and includes a manual table, a rising table, a player-enabled table, and a player disabled It is selected from unused baskets that have not yet been stored in the various tables described above, such as a bowl game table and an opponent rising hand table. Also, any one of the opponent's scheduled discard traps is selected from the multiple types of opponent's scheduled discard trap patterns (the opponent exclusion symbol selection pattern) stored in the program ROM 208, and the opponent's scheduled discard trap pattern is used as the opponent's scheduled discard trap pattern. Based on this, it will be selected from unused bags.

  The discard table is stored in the work RAM 210. This discarded trap table is a kite that was actually discarded from the player's or opponent's manual. As shown in FIG. 15, this throwing-out table is stored for each player and opponent when the handling table is thrown away. In accordance with the type of thrown away stored in the thrown away table, an effect relating to the type of thrown away waste is executed. This effect is not affected by the actual player's hand or the like, and is executed based on the result of referencing only the discarded paddle, as in actual mahjong.

[Direction block table]
Further, an effect block table stored in the program ROM 208 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Even if the effect block table described below is not stored in the program ROM 208, data and programs having such functions may be stored in the program ROM 208.

  The effect block table has a function of storing effect blocks related to effects. This effect block is configured by one or a plurality of blocks, which is an effect pattern that is performed after the identification information starts to be displayed in a variable manner until it is derived and displayed. In the effect block table, an effect number, an effect content, and an effect time (effect execution time) are associated. This effect number is information referred to by an effect block determination table to be described later. Further, the effect content is an execution content of the effect based on the effect block. The production time is an execution time of the production based on the production block. That is, the program ROM 208 in which the effect block table is stored stores data indicating the effect block. For this reason, the program ROM 208 is composed of presentation image data and the like, and a plurality of types of presentation blocks corresponding to the presentation performed in association with the variable display of the identification information are stored in advance. The plurality of types of effect blocks are displayed as a first effect block having a relatively long display time, a second effect block having a relatively short display time, a first effect block, and a second effect block. And a third effect block having different times. The program ROM 208 stores, for each effect block, the effect time required for executing the effect based on the effect block. The program ROM 208 in this embodiment corresponds to an example of effect execution time storage means. Further, the image data ROM 216 and the image data ROM 216 in the present embodiment correspond to an example of effect block storage means.

  As a specific effect block, a high-speed claw one-round effect block (effect number “A1”) with an effect time “2 seconds” and a high-speed one-time effect block (effect number “A2” with an effect time “2 seconds”). )), A high-speed discarded one-time production block (production number “A3”) with a production time “2 seconds”, a high-speed tsum one-time production block (production number “A4”) with a production time “4 seconds”, A strong Tsumo effect block (effect number “B1”) with an effect time of “2 seconds”, a tapping effect block with an effect time of “4 seconds” (effect number “B2”), and an effect time of “4 seconds” An effect block (effect number “B3”) to be raised after being defeated, a Tsumo effect block (effect number “B4”) in which the effect time is “6 seconds” shines, and a dark tsum effect effect block whose effect time is “8 seconds” (Production number “B5”) and lightning production with production time “2 seconds” An effect block (effect number “C1”), a divine light effect block (effect number “C2”) with an effect time “2 seconds”, and an effect block with an effect time “2 seconds” (effect number “C”) C3 ”), a hand flash effect block 1 (effect number“ D1 ”) with an effect time“ 2 seconds ”, and a hand flash effect block 2 (effect number“ D2 ”) with an effect time“ 2 seconds ” The darkness and heart sound effect block (effect number “D3”) with the effect time “4 seconds”, the explosion effect block 1 (effect number “E1”) with the effect time “4 seconds”, and the effect time “8”. Explosive effect block 2 (effect number “E2”) with a second, a distribution effect block 1 (effect number “F1”) with an effect time “3 seconds”, and a distribution effect block with an effect time “5 seconds” 2 (production number “F2”) and the arrangement production block 3 (production number “F3”) with production time “6 seconds” An arrangement effect block 4 (effect number “F4”) with an effect time “7 seconds”, an arrangement effect block 5 (effect number “F5”) with an effect time “8 seconds”, and an effect time “9” A distribution effect block 6 (production number “F6”) with “second”, a distribution effect block 7 (production number “F7”) with a production time “10 seconds”, and a distribution effect with a production time “12 seconds” Block 8 (production number “F8”), arrangement production block 9 (production number “F9”) with production time “14 seconds”, and normal tsumo 1 round production block 1 (production with production time “3 seconds” No. “G1”), a normal trip 1 round production block 2 (production number “G2”) with a production time “5 seconds”, and a normal trip 1 round production block 3 with a production time “10 seconds” (production number “ G3 ”), a normal time one-time effect block 1 (effect number“ H1 ”) with an effect time of“ 3 seconds ”, and an effect Normal time 1-time effect block 2 (effect number “H2”) with time “5 seconds”, normal time 1 time effect block 3 (effect number “H3”) with effect time “10 seconds” and effect time Weight effect block 1 (effect number “I1”) with “1 second”, weight effect block 2 (effect number “I2”) with effect time “2 seconds”, and weight effect block with effect time “3 seconds” 3 (effect number “I3”), a weight effect block 4 (effect number “I4”) with an effect time “4 seconds”, and the remaining one tsum and discard effect block 1 with an effect time “2 seconds” ( The production number “J1”), the remaining time of “4 seconds” and the remaining tsum and discard effect block 2 (direction number “J2”) and the remaining time of “6 seconds” and the remaining time Production block 3 (production number “J3”) and the remaining one with production time “8 seconds” Mode / Screw Production Block 4 (Production Number “J4”), Remaining One Tsumo / Disposal Production Block 5 (Production Number “J5”) with Production Time “10 Seconds”, and Production Time “14 Seconds” Normal jackpot effect block at the time of distribution (effect number “AT1”), normal jackpot effect block at the time of performance of “14 seconds” (effect number “AT2”), and redrawing of the effect time “20 seconds” Normal one big hit effect block (effect number “AT3”), re-lottery with effect time “20 seconds” Normal two big hit effect block (effect number “AT4”), re-lottery with effect time “20 seconds” Normal 3 A jackpot effect block (effect number “AT5”), a re-lottery change variable with an effect time of “20 seconds” 1 jackpot effect block (effect number “AT6”), and a re-lottery change of an effect time of “20 seconds” 2 jackpot effect Block (Direction number “AT7”) , Re-lottery certain change big jackpot effect block (effect number “AT8”) with effect time “20 seconds”, double role special effect (effect number “SP1”) with effect time “14 seconds”, effect time “14 seconds” of the special role relegation special performance (production number “SP2”) is included.

  The effect content of the effect number “A” is an effect for adjusting the remaining time to be described later, and an effect similar to the effect content of the effect number “G” and the effect content of the effect number “H” described later is a short time. It is an effect for performing at (high speed). As will be described in detail later, the effect of the effect number “A” is an effect of performing the effect of the effect number “G” and the effect of the effect number “H” at high speed. The effect content of the effect number “B” is an effect that is executed when a player or the like makes a spear, and in particular, the effect content of the effect number “B3” is an effect as shown in FIGS. This is executed together with the production of the number “H”, and after the production that the player or the opponent takes a trip (corresponding to the production number “H”) is executed, the player or the opponent's hand is once turned down, An effect that the blue swallow crosses on the screen (corresponding to a part of the effect block of the effect number “B3”) is performed, and the effect that the rising hand is formed (the effect block of the effect number “B3” is changed) (Corresponding to a part) may be executed (effect before listening in FIG. 20). In addition, there is a case where an effect in which the hand does not change and the rising combination is not established is also performed (the effect before listening in FIG. 18). The production contents of production numbers “C”, “D”, and “E” are productions for raising the expectation that will be a big hit. The production content of production number “F” is the production of the arrangement performed after the foot of the mountain disappears. Even at the time of the game, the player's hand may be arranged in a predetermined combination, but it is not included in the production of the production number “F”. The production content of the production number “G” is that the player will see that he will spear and throw out a single piece of spear from his hand, seeing from the player, the opponent of the lower house, the opponent of the face, the opponent of the upper house, It is an effect performed in the order of players. The production of the production number “G” is executed on the condition that the player's manual is before listening. The effect of the effect number “H” is an effect for one time when the player or the opponent has a spear and throws out one spear from the hand spear. The production of the production number “H” is executed on the condition that the player's manual is after listening. The production content of production number “I” is a weight production different from the production related to the kite, such as serving, throwing and throwing the kite, and the production that raises the expectation that will be a big hit. It is also used as an effect that creates an interval, such as when some effect is performed. The production content of the production number “J” is an production in which the remaining yam is one, and the player or opponent opposes that game. The production of production number “J” is executed when it is determined that there is no yam. The production contents of the production number “AT” are productions for raising the expectation to be a big hit, productions executed after the big hit. The production of the production number “AT” is executed when the player's manuals are arranged in a predetermined combination. In particular, the production of the production number “AT1” is an production that the player's hand becomes a reach hand at the time of the distribution and is doubled to reach a normal role. In addition, the production of the production number “AT2” is an production in which the player's manual is in a specific display mode at the time of the arrangement and the fulfillment (Tenwa) is established. The effect content of the effect number “SP” is a special effect different from the normal effect described above. For example, the double role special effect (direction number “SP1”) is a special effect that is assigned after the opponent has been raised and the player's hand at the time of the game is fully used, which will be described later. Thus, it is a special effect for notifying that it will be a big hit continuously. In addition, the special role relegation special effect (direction number “SP2”) is a special effect that is assigned after the opponent has gone up, and the player goes up in a normal role, and the scheduled role to be described later is full. In addition, it is executed only when it is determined that it is usually a big hit. In addition to the above-mentioned effects, various effect blocks are stored, for example, there is a sound effect that sounds abandoned abandoned in the field, for example, a sound condition (predetermined exception symbol acquisition condition) is established Sometimes, it is executed in place of the production of the production number “A1” and the production of the production number “G”.

[Direction block decision table]
In addition, the effect block determination table stored in the program ROM 208 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Even if the effect block determination table described below is not stored in the program ROM 208, data and programs having such functions may be stored in the program ROM 208.

  The effect block determination table is for determining the effect block described above. The effect block determination tables include effect block determination tables A to D as shown in FIGS. The effect block determination table A is an effect block determination table that is referred to when the change pattern designation command is the change pattern 01 to 03 (usually when it is a shift effect). The effect block determination table B is an effect block determination table that is referred to when the change pattern designation command is the change pattern 04 to 06 (when the feint is out of focus). The effect block determination table C is an effect block determination table that is referred to when the change pattern designation command is the change pattern 07 to 0B (when the continuous pattern is off). The effect block determination table D is an effect block determination table that is referred to when the change pattern designation command is the change patterns 0C to 11 (when the win pattern is a big hit).

  In such effect block determination tables A to D, the effect state, the selection probability, and the effect block are associated with each other. The effect state indicates the state of the previous effect pattern, for example, at the time of serving, before listening, after listening. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, when the selection probability is 100%, the selection probability is omitted. In the present embodiment, the rendering block determination random value is expressed as the selection probability for easy understanding.

  Specifically, in the effect block determination table A, the effect number “F” is selected as the effect block at the time of the arrangement, the effect number “G” is selected as the effect block before the listening, and the effect is generated as the effect block after the listening. The number “H” is selected.

  For example, when a variation pattern 01 having a variation time of “3 seconds” is received, when it is the time of serving, an effect number “F1” corresponding to the change time among the effect numbers “F1” to “F9”. Will be selected. Similarly, when a variation pattern 02 with a variation time of “5 seconds” is received, and when a variation pattern 03 with a variation time of “10 seconds” is received, each corresponds to the variation time. The production number “F2” and the production number “F7” are selected. The same applies to effect blocks before and after listening.

  In the effect block determination table B, the effect number “F” is selected as the effect block at the time of the arrangement, the effect numbers “H” and “B3” are selected as the effect blocks before the listening, and as the effect block after the listening. The production numbers “D1” and “Z” are selected. When the production number “Z” is selected, the production block is selected based on the remaining time adjustment production block selection table (see FIG. 21).

  For example, when a variation pattern 04 having a variation time of “7 seconds” is received, when it is a time of serving, an effect number “F4” corresponding to the change time among the effect numbers “F1” to “F9”. (Production time “7 seconds”) is selected. Similarly, when a variation pattern 05 with a variation time of “9 seconds” is received, and when a variation pattern 06 with a variation time of “14 seconds” is received, each corresponds to the variation time. The production number “F6” and the production number “F9” are selected. The same applies to effect blocks before and after listening.

  In the effect block determination table C, the effect number “F” is selected as the effect block at the time of serving. As a production block before listening, production numbers “D1” and “Z” are selected with a probability of “70%”, production numbers “D2” and “Z” are selected with a probability of “20%”, The production numbers “D3” and “Z” are selected with a probability of “10%”. As the production block after listening, production numbers “D1” and “Z” are selected with a probability of “70%”, production numbers “D2” and “Z” are selected with a probability of “20%”, and “10” The production numbers “D3” and “Z” are selected with a probability of “%”.

  For example, when a variation pattern 0B having a variation time of “14 seconds” is received, a lottery for determining a production block is performed before listening. Then, when the production numbers “D1” and “Z” are selected as the result of the lottery, the production (production time “2 seconds”) of the production number “D1” and the remaining time are adjusted. An effect based on the effect number “Z” (“12 seconds”) is executed. Further, when “D2” and “Z” are selected, even when “D3” and “Z” are selected, the effect based on the effect number is executed in the same manner. When the variation pattern 07 with the variation time “6 seconds” is received, when the variation pattern 08 with the variation time “8 seconds” is received, the variation pattern 09 with the variation time “10 seconds” is received. When a variation pattern 0A having a variation time of “12 seconds” is received, an effect number is selected in the same manner. The same applies to the effect blocks after listening and at the time of serving.

  In the effect block determination table D, the effect number “AT1” or “AT2” is selected as the effect block at the time of serving. As the production block before listening, the production number “H”, “none” or “I3”, “B3”, “none”, “I2”, or “I4” with a probability of “5%” One of “AT3” to “AT8” is selected, and the production number “D1”, “Z”, and any one of “AT3” to “AT8” are selected with a probability of “15%”, and “30% The production numbers “D2”, “Z” and “AT3” to “AT8” are selected with the probability of “50%”, and the production numbers “D3”, “Z”, “ Any one of “AT3” to “AT8” is selected. The production blocks after listening are production numbers “H”, “E”, “None”, “I1” or “I3”, and “AT3” to “AT8” with a probability of “10%”. Is selected, and the production number “D1”, “Z”, “I4”, and “AT3” to “AT8” are selected with a probability of “5%”, and the production with the probability of “20%” The numbers “D2”, “Z”, “I4”, “AT3” to “AT8” are selected, and the production numbers “D3”, “Z”, “ “I4”, “AT3” to “AT8” are selected, and the production number “D1”, “Z”, and “AT3” to “AT8” are selected with a probability of “5%”. , Production number “D2”, “Z”, “AT3” to “AT8” with probability of “20%” It is selected, and the effect number "D3" with a probability of "20%", "Z" and, and either "AT3" from "AT8" is selected.

  For example, when the variation pattern 11 having a variation time of “34 seconds” is received, if it is before listening, a lottery for determining an effect block is performed. If the result of the lottery is “H”, “None” or “I3”, and “None”, “I2”, or “I4”, the effect based on the effect number is selected. Will be executed. When “H1” is selected so that the production time of the production block corresponds to the fluctuation time, “I3”, “B3”, “I4”, “AT3” to “AT8” are selected. When “H2” is selected as a combination with any one, “H3” is selected as a combination with “I3”, “B3”, “I2”, and any one of “AT3” to “AT8”. When selected, the effect block is selected as a combination of “none”, “B3”, “none”, and “AT3” to “AT8”. Similarly, when the variation patterns 0C to 11 having the variation time of “34 seconds” are received, the production numbers are respectively selected. The same applies to the effect blocks after listening and at the time of serving.

In the remaining time adjustment effect block selection table, as shown in FIG. 21, selection conditions and effect blocks are associated with each other. This selection condition includes the presence / absence of a yam, before and after listening, the person who makes a trip, the remaining time to be adjusted, the lottery result, and the like, and it is determined whether or not it is established based on the state of the production. An effect block is selected according to such a selection condition. Further, such a production block for adjusting the remaining time is repeatedly selected until the remaining time reaches “0 seconds”. When the remaining time is less than “2 seconds” (in this embodiment, the rendering block is determined in units of “1 second”, so the remaining time is greater than “0 seconds” and less than “2 seconds”. In the case of “1 second”, the weight of the production number “I1” (production time “1 second”) is selected, and the selection of the production block for adjusting the remaining time is completed. It becomes.

[Specific example of production block determination method]
A specific example in which the effect block is selected using the various tables described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 22, a fluctuation pattern 03 (“10 seconds”) is supplied from the main control circuit 200 in a state where the player is listening, the next Tsumo number is the lower house opponent, and there is a yam. Specific example 1 will be described. In this specific example 1, it is assumed that there is a sufficiently mountainous production state regardless of which production block is selected. In specific examples 2 and 3 to be described below, it is assumed that the state of the production is sufficiently rich in the same manner.

  In the specific example 1, since the variation pattern 03 is received, the effect block determination table A is referred to. In addition, since the player is listening, the effect block of effect number “H” after listening is selected. Furthermore, since the variation time of the variation pattern 03 is “10 seconds”, the effect block “H3” corresponding to the remaining time is selected from the effect blocks “H1” to “H3”. . For this reason, as shown in FIG. 22A, only the effect of the effect number “H3” is executed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 22B, an effect in which the opponent of the lower house spears the spear and discards the spear from the hand spear is executed for “10 seconds”.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 23, a fluctuation pattern 05 (“9 seconds”) is supplied from the main control circuit 200 in a state where the player is listening, the next tsum number is the opponent to face, and there is a yam. Specific example 2 will be described.

  In the specific example 2, since the variation pattern 05 is received, the effect block determination table B is referred to. In addition, since the player is listening, the effect block “D1” and the effect block “Z” after the listening are selected. For this reason, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 23A, the effects of the effect numbers “D1” and “Z” are sequentially executed. Thus, since the variation time of the variation pattern 05 is “9 seconds” and the effect block (“2 seconds”) with the effect number “D1” has been selected, as shown in FIG. From “9 seconds” to “7 seconds”.

  Further, since the effect block with the effect number “Z” is selected, the remaining time adjustment effect block selection table is referred to. In this case, since the state of the production is Yamabe, the player's manual is hearing, the opposing opponent is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “7 seconds”, the production number “A3” The production block “” is selected. Thus, since the effect block (“2 seconds”) of the effect number “A3” is selected, the remaining time is changed from “7 seconds” to “5 seconds” as shown in FIG. In addition, since the remaining time is not less than “2 seconds”, the effect block is selected again.

  Next, since the state of the production is a mountain pass, the player's manual is a hearing, the face-to-face opponent is a Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “5 seconds”, the production block is selected. A lottery is executed. As a result of the lottery, the following description will be continued on the assumption that the effect block with the effect number “A3” has been selected. Since the effect block (“2 seconds”) with the effect number “A3” is selected, the remaining time is changed from “5 seconds” to “3 seconds” as shown in FIG. In addition, since the remaining time is not less than “2 seconds”, the effect block is selected again.

  Next, since the state of the production is Yamagata, the player's manual is hearing, the player is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is "3 seconds", the production block of production number "A2" Is selected. Thus, since the effect block (“2 seconds”) with the effect number “A2” is selected, the remaining time is changed from “3 seconds” to “1 second” as shown in FIG. Further, since the remaining time is less than “2 seconds” and not “0 seconds”, the effect block “I1” (“1 second”) is selected, and the selection of the effect block ends.

  As a result, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 23A, after the effect of the effect number “D1” is executed, the effect block of the effect number “A3”, the effect of the effect number “A3”, the effect number “ The production of “A2” and the production of production number “I1” are executed in order. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), after the hand flash effect 1 is executed, the facing opponent spears the spear, discards the spear from the spear, and the superior opponent opposes the spear. Then, the player throws away the kite from the hand bag, the player picks up the kite, throws the kite out of the hand bag, and the production of the weight is executed for “9 seconds”.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 24, the fluctuation pattern 0A (“12 seconds”) is supplied from the main control circuit 200 in a state where the player is listening, the next tsum number is the opponent to face, and there is a yam. Specific example 3 will be described.

  In the specific example 3, since the variation pattern 0A is received, the effect block determination table C is referred to. Further, since the player is listening, a lottery for selecting a production block is executed. As a result of the lottery, the following description will be continued assuming that the effect block “D1” and the effect block “Z” are selected. As a result, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 24A, the effect of the effect number “D1” and the effect of the effect number “Z” are executed. Since the variation time of the variation pattern 0A is “12 seconds” and the production block (“2 seconds”) with the production number “D1” is selected, the remaining time is “12 seconds” as shown in FIG. From "10 seconds".

  Further, since the effect block with the effect number “Z” is selected, the remaining time adjustment effect block selection table is referred to. In this case, since the state of the production is Yamabe, the player's manual is hearing, the opposing opponent is Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “10 seconds”, the production number “A3” The production block “” is selected. Thus, since the effect block (“2 seconds”) with the effect number “A3” has been selected, the remaining time is changed from “10 seconds” to “8 seconds” as shown in FIG. In addition, since the remaining time is not less than “2 seconds”, the effect block is selected again.

  Next, since the state of the production is Yamagata, the player's manual is hearing, the lower house opponent is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “8 seconds”, the production number “A3” Since the effect block (“2 seconds”) is selected, the remaining time is changed from “8 seconds” to “6 seconds” as shown in FIG. In addition, since the remaining time is not less than “2 seconds”, the effect block is selected again.

  Next, since the state of the production is Yamagata, the player's manual is hearing, the player is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “6 seconds”, the lottery for selecting the production block Is executed. As a result of the lottery, the following description will be continued assuming that the effect block with the effect number “A2” has been selected. Since the effect block (“2 seconds”) with the effect number “A2” is selected, the remaining time is changed from “6 seconds” to “4 seconds” as shown in FIG. In addition, since the remaining time is not less than “2 seconds”, the effect block is selected again.

  Next, since the state of the production is Yamagata, the player's manual is hearing, the superior's opponent is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “4 seconds”, the production number “A3” The production block is selected. Thus, since the effect block (“2 seconds”) with the effect number “A3” is selected, the remaining time is changed from “4 seconds” to “2 seconds” as shown in FIG. In addition, since the remaining time is not less than “2 seconds”, the effect block is selected again.

  Next, since the state of the production is mountain yam, the player's manual is hearing, the face-to-face opponent is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “2 seconds”, the production number “A3” A production block is selected. Thus, since the effect block (“2 seconds”) of the effect number “A3” is selected, the remaining time is changed from “2 seconds” to “0 seconds” as shown in FIG. Also, since the remaining time is “0 seconds”, the selection of the effect block is completed.

  As a result, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 24A, after the effect of the effect number “D1” is executed, the effect of the effect number “A3”, the effect of the effect number “A3”, and the effect number “A2” The effect of “”, the effect of the effect number “A3”, and the effect of the effect number “A3” are sequentially executed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 24 (B), after the hand flash effect 1 is executed, the facing opponent spears the spear, discards the spear from the spear, and the superior opponent opposes the spear. Then throw away the spear from the handbag, the player spears the spear, throws the spear from the handbag, the opponent of the lower house spears the spear, throws the spear from the handbag, and again face-to-face An effect in which the opponent spears the spear and discards the spear from the hand spear is executed for “12 seconds”.

  In the specific example 3 described above, the lottery is performed in the case where the production state is yam, the player's manual is hearing, the player is the Tsumo number, and the remaining time is “6 seconds”. As a result, when the production block of production number “B4” (“6 seconds”) is selected, the remaining time is changed from “2 seconds” to “0 seconds” as shown in FIGS. 24 (C) and 24 (D). " Also, since the remaining time is “0 seconds”, the selection of the effect block is completed.

  As a result, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 24C, after the effect of the effect number “D1” is executed, the effect of the effect number “A3”, the effect of the effect number “A3”, and the effect number “B4” "" Will be executed in order. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 24 (D), after the hand flash effect 1 is executed, the opposing opponent spears the spear, discards the spear from the spear, and the superior opponent cancels the spear. Then, the player throws away the kite from the hand bag, the player makes a spear that the kite shines, and the effect of throwing out the kite from the hand bag is executed for “12 seconds”.

  By combining the effect blocks selected in this way, an effect based on the effect pattern from when the variation display of the identification information is started until it is derived and displayed is executed.

  In addition, such a production block does not include information on the type of kite or the like, and a kite corresponding to the production block is determined separately. For example, in the production of the production number “G”, the production of the production number “A1”, etc., a single-game kite of three opponents' abandonment, a player's spear, and abandonment is determined. In addition, for example, in the production of the production number “H”, the production of the production number “A” (excluding the production number “A1”), etc., the bag corresponding to one thorn is determined. In this case, if the Tsumo number is a player, the Tsumo game and the discarding game are determined, and if the Tsumo game is one of the three opponents, the disposal game is determined.

  In the above-described effects, as will be described in detail later, it is determined whether or not the number of shunts of the player's hand is advanced, and even if the same effect block is selected, a different bag may be determined. is there. For example, if it is determined that the number of Shanten is not advanced, the player's game will become a waste game mode, or the opponent's abandonment will become an unnecessary game for the player's procedure. The type of is determined. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of shunts will be advanced, the player's spider's spider will become an effective spear, and the opponent's abandoned spear will be a valid spear for the player's hand, etc. .

  Further, as will be described in detail later, even if it is determined whether or not a big hit is made and the same effect block is selected, a different wrinkle may be determined. For example, if it is determined that the player is not a big hit, the player ’s wheel will become a useless game, or the opponent ’s abandonment will become an unnecessary game against the player ’s procedure. The type is determined. On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, the type of the kite is determined, such as the player's spear going up and the opponent's abandoned kite going up against the player's hand. In addition, it is determined whether or not a probable big hit is made and whether or not there is a high or low eye on the rising heel, and even if the same effect block is selected, a different heel may be determined. For example, if it is determined that the game is usually a big hit, the possibility that the player's spider's spider will be low rises, and the opponent's abandoned spear will be low. The type of cocoon is determined, such as the possibility of becoming higher. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is a probable big hit, there is a higher possibility that the player's spider will become a higher climb, and the opponent's abandoned trap will be higher than the player's hand. The type of cocoon is determined, such as the possibility of becoming higher.

  On the other hand, even if the same bag is determined, the content of the effect is such that the speed of the effect is different by selecting a different effect block. For example, when one of the effect block with the effect number “A1” and the effect block with the effect number “G” is selected, the effect contents have different effect speeds.

  Specifically, a case where a variation pattern 03 and a variation pattern 09 having the same variation time (“10 seconds”) are received will be described as an example.

  When the variation pattern 03 is received, when the player's hand is before listening, the effect block determination table A described above is referred to, and the effect block with the effect number “G3” is selected.

  On the other hand, in the case where the variation pattern 09 is received, when the player's manual is before listening, the above-described effect block determination table C is referred to, and the effect block “D1” and the effect number “Z” are referred to. The production block is selected. In this case, since the effect block with the effect number “Z” is selected, the remaining time adjustment effect block selection table is referred to. Since the effect block of the effect number “D1” is “2 seconds”, the remaining time is “8 seconds” as described above. Thereafter, when 牌 is selected so as not to listen, four effect blocks of effect number “A1” are selected. That is, the effect block with the effect number “D1” and the effect block with the effect number “A1” four times are selected.

  In addition, as described above, the production content of the production number “A1” is a high-speed production of the production content of the production number “G3”. It will be executed at different speeds. For example, in the above-described specific example, the effect of the effect number “G3” is once played in “10 seconds”, whereas the effect number “A” of 4 times excluding the effect of the effect number “D1” is displayed. The production will be 4 times in “8 seconds”. Therefore, when the same kites are selected in the same order, when the variation pattern 03 is received four times in succession, the same kite is spun four times in “40 seconds”, and the variation pattern 09 is received once. In some cases, "8 seconds" will be sprinkled 4 times. That is, the effect based on the effect block of the effect number “A” is the same type of effect as the effect of the effect number “G” and the effect of the effect number “H”, and the effect of the effect number “G” and the effect number “H”. The execution speed of the production is faster than the production of "".

  A plurality of effect patterns can be configured by combining a plurality of common effect blocks. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity of the ROM for recording the effect image data, compared to the conventional machine that required one effect block for one effect pattern. Furthermore, since a plurality of production patterns can be configured by combining a plurality of common production blocks, production can be diversified. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the player in the game.

  Also, whether or not it is in a specific gaming state, the result of the performance before the current performance is performed (for example, if it is mahjong, whether or not listening, whether there is a mountain in the mountain, etc.) and this time Depending on the first production block selected for the production, the production block for the next production will be selected, so the production display suitable for the situation, that is, the production consistent with the situation will be performed. Therefore, it becomes possible to improve the interest of the game.

  A plurality of effect patterns can be configured by combining a plurality of common effect blocks. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity of the ROM for recording the effect image data, compared to the conventional machine that required one effect block for one effect pattern. Furthermore, since a plurality of production patterns can be configured by combining a plurality of common production blocks, production can be diversified. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the player in the game.

  Furthermore, since the effect based on the first effect block is executed at a faster speed than the effect of the second effect block, the effect based on a large number of effect blocks is also displayed during the variable display of one identification information. It is possible to improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, the effect based on the first effect block and the effect based on the second effect block are the same type of effect. Therefore, even if there is a difference between the effect based on the first effect block and the effect based on the second effect block, it is possible to provide an easy-to-understand game for the player because there is a common effect of the same kind of effect. This will improve the fun of gaming. For example, it is easier for the player to understand the game when there are two productions that have something in common than when two productions that have nothing to do with them. Can be planned.

  In this way, for the problem of squeezing the storage capacity to perform various effects, the above problem is solved by fixing the effect time of the effect block to a certain time and making the variation time a multiple of the effect time. It is also possible to solve the problem. However, the production block is limited to a production that is fixed for a certain period of time or longer, and as a result, the production pattern of the production pattern is narrowed and the interest cannot be improved. Therefore, a plurality of effect patterns can be configured by combining a plurality of common effect blocks. Furthermore, by combining a plurality of common effect blocks, a plurality of effect patterns can be configured, and various effects based on the plurality of effect patterns can be achieved. Therefore, since the production can be diversified, it is possible to improve the interest of the player in the game. In addition to this, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity of the ROM for recording the image data of the effect as compared with the conventional machine that required one effect block for one effect pattern. In addition, since the effect block is selected based on the remaining time counted based on the variable display time and the cumulative effect execution time, the effect based on the effect pattern can always be ended within the variable display time. For this reason, it is possible to avoid a shabby state in which the production ends during the variable display, and it is possible to maintain the interest of the game.

[Description of display screen]
In addition, a display screen related to the special symbol game executed by the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Description of special symbol game]
On the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32, as shown in FIG. 25, when the derivation display of the identification information (special symbol 92 in the special symbol game) in a plurality of columns is performed, the variable information start condition for the identification information is displayed. When is established, variable display is executed as shown in FIG. Further, the variable display of the identification information starts the variable display of the identification information, and the multiple columns of identification information that are displayed in a variable manner are derived and displayed. The game state is a big hit game on condition that all the columns are stopped and the identification information of the plurality of columns derived and displayed is in a specific display mode (for example, a mode in which three identical symbols are arranged). It will be transferred to the state. In such a special symbol game, the reserved ball image 90 is displayed and represents the number of reserved balls.

  In addition to such a special symbol 92, as shown in FIG. 25, an effect imitating a four-player mahjong is executed. In this production, a player's hand image (player's hand symbol) 96, an opponent's hand image (opponent's hand symbol) 97, and a yam image distributed as a player's and opponent's hand symbol. 91, a player's abandonment image 98, an opponent's abandonment image 99, and the like are displayed. Note that the player's hand image 96 is a decorative symbol (also simply referred to as a symbol) for decorating the special symbol 92 described above.

  In this production, the player and the opponent's hand exchange (the addition of the hand to the hand and the throwing away the hand from the hand to the display after the display of the variation of the special symbol 92 is started and displayed) Etc.) are performed.

  For example, if the display of the special symbol 92 is started after the number of yam reaches a predetermined number and becomes a flow base or the opponent rises, the special symbol 92 is reloaded until the special symbol 92 is derived and displayed. An arrangement effect for distributing the player's hand and the opponent's hand is executed from the foot of the mountain, and the player's hand image is displayed.

  In addition, when the game progresses and the player's hand is not listening, that is, before listening, when the special symbol 92 starts to be changed, the special symbol 92 is displayed until the special symbol 92 is derived and displayed. Mainly, as shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 27, after the player's hand exchange (including obtaining the discard basket) is performed, the player's hand exchange (obtaining the discard basket) is obtained. Is included).

  As an effect imitating mahjongg, there is a case where the opponent rises. In addition, there is a case where a throwing pad is obtained (so-called “ringing”) as a hand of a player or an opponent.

  Also, depending on the type of thrown away, for example, “Pinz is high (ie, there are few pins in the thrown away)”, “Saws are cheap (ie, there are many saws in the thrown away waste)” Audio production may be performed.

  Then, as the game progresses and as shown in FIG. 28, in a state in which the player's hand is lifted by one more kite, a climbing candidate kite image 93 that can establish a climbing combination is displayed. In the production mode in which such a rising combination can be established, when the variation display of the special symbol 92 is started, mainly three fighting players, until the special symbol 92 is derived and displayed, An effect in which the hand of one of the players is exchanged will be executed. In addition to this, an image to be reached may be displayed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 28, when a spear that is thrown away from the opponent's hand is added to the player's hand, a specific display mode is achieved in which a predetermined rising combination is established. As shown in FIG.

  When the player's hand is in a specific display mode, a re-lottery may be executed as shown in FIG. In this case, the player's rising hand temporarily displayed temporarily (tentatively displayed) is again displayed in a variable manner (revariable display, redisplayed), and as shown in FIG. The guide is derived and displayed so that it can be changed. Further, this re-variable display may be executed a plurality of times. For example, the player's rising hand shown in FIG. 30 is displayed again and again, and as shown in FIG. 31, the player's rising hand is displayed. However, the temporary stop display is temporarily displayed as a guide different from the previous guide, the re-variable display is started again, and the display may be derived and displayed as shown in FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, when a specific display mode in which a predetermined rising combination is established, a special display mode (for example, more than a full role) is obtained, a certain change is caused. The game state is shifted to the big hit gaming state (after being changed to the big hit gaming state, the state is changed to the probability changing state).

[Game machine operation]
The processing executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 is shown in FIGS. 35 to 37 and FIGS. 39 to 42 below. Moreover, the state transition of the special symbol control process (FIG. 37) performed with the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

[Main processing]
First, as shown in FIG. 35, initial setting processing such as RAM access permission, backup restoration processing, and work area initialization is executed (step S11). Then, as will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 37, a special symbol control process relating to the progress of the special symbol game and the identification information displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 is executed (step S15). As described above, in the main process, after the initial setting process in step S11 is completed, the process in step S15 is repeatedly executed.

[System timer interrupt processing]
Further, the main CPU 66 may interrupt the main process and execute the system timer interrupt process even when the main process is being executed. The following system timer interrupt process is executed in response to a clock pulse generated from the reset clock pulse generation circuit 62 every predetermined period (for example, 2 milliseconds). This system timer interrupt process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 36, the main CPU 66 executes a random number update process so as to increase the count values of the big hit determination random number counter, the big hit symbol determination random number counter, etc. by “1” (step S42). And although mentioned later using FIG. 40 in detail, the input detection process which detects winning or passing of game balls, such as the start port 44, is performed (step S43). In this processing, the main CPU 66 stores in the predetermined area of the main RAM 70 data for paying out the game balls (winning the game balls) on the condition that the game balls have won the various winning ports. A waiting time timer for synchronizing the main control circuit 60 and the sub control circuit 200, a big prize opening time timer for measuring the opening time of the big prize opening 39 that is opened when a big hit occurs, etc. Various timer update processes are executed (step S44). Then, an output process is executed in order to supply a signal for drive control based on various variables to a solenoid, a motor or the like (step S46). If this process ends, the process moves to a step S47.

  In step S47, command output processing is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 supplies various commands to the sub control circuit 200. Specifically, these various commands include a demo display command, a derived symbol designation command indicating the type of identification information derived and displayed in the left column, middle column, and right column, and a variation indicating a variation display pattern of the identification information. Includes pattern specification commands. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S49.

  In the process of step S49, the main CPU 66 executes a payout process such as transmitting a prize ball control command for causing the payout device 128 to perform a prize ball to the payout / firing control circuit 126. Further, the main CPU 66 supplies the payout / firing control circuit 126 with a prize ball control command for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls as a result of the game balls winning in various winning holes. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished, the address is returned to the address before the occurrence of the interrupt, and the main process is executed.

[Special symbol control processing]
The subroutine executed in step S15 in FIG. 35 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 37, the numerical values drawn on the sides of step S72 to step S80 indicate the control state flags corresponding to those steps, and one step corresponding to the numerical value according to the numerical value of the control state flag. Will be executed and the special symbol game will proceed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 37, a process for loading a control state flag is executed (step S71). In this process, the main CPU 66 reads the control state flag. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S72.

  In steps S72 to S80, which will be described later, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not to execute various processes in each step based on the value of the control state flag, as will be described later. This control state flag indicates the state of the special symbol game, and enables one of the processes from step S72 to step S80 to be executed. In addition, the main CPU 66 executes processing in each step at a predetermined timing determined according to a waiting time timer or the like set for each step. Before reaching the predetermined timing, the process ends without executing the process in each step, and another subroutine is executed. Of course, the system timer interrupt process is also executed at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S72, a special symbol memory check process is executed. As will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 39, the main CPU 66 checks the number of holdings when the control state flag is a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check, and determines the big hit if there is a holding number. The derivation identification information, the variation pattern of the identification information, etc. are determined. Further, the main CPU 66 sets a value (01) indicating special symbol variation time management in the control state flag, and sets the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in the current process in the waiting time timer. That is, it is set so that the process of step S73 is executed after the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined this time has elapsed. On the other hand, when there is no pending number, a demonstration screen is displayed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S73.

  In step S73, a special symbol variation time management process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 sets the control state flag to a value (01) indicating special symbol change time management, and when the change time has elapsed, sets the value (02) indicating special symbol display time management to the control state flag. And a waiting time after confirmation (for example, 1 second) is set in the waiting time timer. That is, it is set so that the processing of step S74 is executed after the waiting time after determination has elapsed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S74.

  In step S74, a special symbol display time management process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not it is a big hit when the control state flag is a value (02) indicating special symbol display time management and the waiting time after determination has elapsed. In the case of a big hit, the main CPU 66 sets a value (03) indicating the big hit start interval management in the control state flag, and sets a time (for example, 10 seconds) corresponding to the big hit start interval in the waiting time timer. That is, after the time corresponding to the big hit start interval elapses, the setting of step S75 is performed. Therefore, the main CPU 66 that executes step S74 determines that the player's hand has a specific display form, and the player's hand (a hand symbol group, an image related to the game) on the liquid crystal display device 32 has a specific display form. The player is controlled to shift to the big hit gaming state advantageous to the player on the condition that the hand symbol group is a specific display mode and the specific display mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32. . Of course, the main CPU 66 is a jackpot advantageous to the player on the condition that the identification information in the liquid crystal display device 32 is in a specific display mode (the result of variable display of the identification information is in a specific display mode). Control to shift to the gaming state is performed. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 66 executing step S74 corresponds to an example of a specific gaming state transition control unit. On the other hand, the main CPU 66 sets a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game when it is not a big hit. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S80. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S75.

  In step S75, a big hit start interval management process is executed. In this processing, the main CPU 66 has a value (03) indicating that the control state flag indicates the big hit start interval management, and when the time corresponding to the big hit start interval has elapsed, Based on the data read from the ROM 68, the variables positioned in the main RAM 70 are updated. The main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating that the special winning opening is being opened to the control state flag, and sets an open upper limit time (for example, 30 seconds) to the special winning opening open timer. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S77. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S76.

  In step S76, a waiting time management process before reopening the big winning opening is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 sets the special prize opening number counter to “0” when the control state flag is a value (06) indicating the big prize opening reopening waiting time management and the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed. Update the memory so that it increases by 1 ″. The main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating that the special winning opening is open in the control state flag. The main CPU 66 sets an opening upper limit time (for example, 30 seconds) in the big prize opening time timer. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S77. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S77.

  In step S77, a special winning opening opening process is executed. In this process, when the control status flag is a value (04) indicating that the big prize opening is being opened, the main CPU 66 has passed the condition that the big prize opening prize counter is “10” or more, and the opening upper limit time ( It is determined whether or not any of the conditions that the big prize opening time timer is “0” is satisfied. The main CPU 66 updates a variable positioned in the main RAM 70 in order to close the special winning opening 39 when any of the conditions is satisfied. The main CPU 66 sets a value (05) indicating monitoring of the winning ball remaining ball in the control state flag. The main CPU 66 sets the special ball remaining ball monitoring time (for example, 1 second) in the waiting time timer. That is, it is set so that the process of step S78 is executed after the winning ball residual ball monitoring time has elapsed. Note that the main CPU 66 does not execute the above-described processing when none of the conditions is satisfied. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S78.

  In step S78, a special winning opening residual ball monitoring process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 has a value (05) indicating that the control state flag indicates the residual ball monitoring in the special winning opening, and when the monitoring time for the residual winning ball in the special winning slot has elapsed, It is determined whether or not a condition that the ball has not passed or a condition that the special winning opening opening number counter is “15” or more (the final round) is satisfied. When any of the conditions is satisfied, the main CPU 66 sets a value (07) indicating the jackpot end interval in the control state flag, and sets a time corresponding to the jackpot end interval in the waiting time timer. In other words, after the time corresponding to the big hit end interval has elapsed, the setting of step S79 is executed. On the other hand, when neither of the conditions is satisfied, the main CPU 66 sets a value (06) indicating management of the special winning opening reopening waiting time in the control state flag. Further, the main CPU 66 sets a time corresponding to the interval between rounds in the waiting time timer. In other words, after the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed, the setting of step S76 is executed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S79.

  In step S79, a big hit end interval process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 sets the value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game to the control state when the control state flag is a value (07) indicating the jackpot end interval and the time corresponding to the jackpot end interval has elapsed. Set to flag. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S80.

  Then, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special symbol and hand-drawn are derived and displayed as a special display mode. As a result, the high probability is obtained on the condition that the special symbol and hand-drawn are derived and displayed as a special display mode. A predetermined value (for example, “77”) is set in the flag. Therefore, the main CPU 66 performs control to shift to the probability changing state. That is, the main CPU 66 has a non-special display mode (first display mode, specific display) in which a display mode in which an image related to a game (identification information, special symbol, player's hand) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32. In the case of a display mode that is not a special display mode), the winning lottery probability of winning the jackpot is set to the first lottery probability having a low winning probability, and the special display mode (second In the case of the display mode), the winning lottery probability of the big hit is set to the second lottery probability having a high winning probability. The main CPU 66 performs control to shift to a probability change state (a game state advantageous to the player and different from the big hit game state) after the player's hand is displayed in a special display mode. It will be. In this case, the main CPU 66 sets data indicating a probability change command for shifting to the probability change state in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. The data indicating the probability change command is supplied as a probability change command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 of FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 200 can also recognize that it has shifted to the probability variation state. On the other hand, the main CPU 66 is determined to shift to the big hit gaming state, and on the condition that the player's hand is displayed in a non-special display mode, the main CPU 66 shifts to the normal gaming state after the big hit gaming state ends. Control will be performed. In this case, the main CPU 66 does not supply a probability change command to the sub control circuit 200. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 66 that executes this processing is a special gaming state determination unit, a special gaming state transition determination unit, a probability setting unit, a special gaming state control unit, a special gaming state transition control unit, and a normal gaming state transition. It corresponds to an example of a control means.

  Further, the main CPU 66 performs control for shifting to the short time gaming state when a predetermined short time gaming state transition condition is satisfied. That is, the main CPU 66 performs control to shift to the short-time gaming state (a gaming state advantageous to the player and different from the big hit gaming state) after the player's hand is displayed in a special display mode. Will be done. Further, in this case, the main CPU 66 sets data indicating a time-saving command for shifting to the time-saving gaming state in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. The data indicating the time reduction command is supplied as a time change command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 of FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 200 can also recognize that it has shifted to the short-time gaming state. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S80.

  In step S80, a special symbol game end process is executed. In this process, when the control state flag is a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game, the main CPU 66 stores and updates the data indicating the number of holdings (starting storage information) to be decreased by “1”. Further, the main CPU 66 sets data indicating a start memory number designation command indicating that the start memory information is decreased by “1” in a predetermined storage area in the main RAM 70. Thus, the data indicating the start memory number designation command is supplied as a start memory number designation command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 in FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 200 can recognize that the start memory information has decreased by “1”. In addition, the main CPU 66 may perform control for shifting the gaming state, such as counting the number of times the special symbol 92 has changed, and shifting from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state based on the number of times the fluctuation has occurred. In this case, the main CPU 66 sets, in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70, data indicating a normal gaming state command for shifting from the short-time gaming state to the normal gaming state. Data indicating the normal game state command is supplied as a normal game state command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 of FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 200 can also recognize that it has shifted to the normal gaming state. Then, the main CPU 66 updates the special symbol storage area in order to perform the next fluctuation display. The main CPU 66 sets a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S72. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, the special symbol game is executed by setting the control state flag. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 38, the main CPU 66 sets the control status flag to “00”, “01”, “02”, when the result of the big hit determination is lost in the case where the big hit gaming state is not set. By setting “08” in order, the processing of step S72, step S73, step S74, and step S80 shown in FIG. 37 is executed at a predetermined timing. Further, when the main CPU 66 is not in the big hit gaming state and the result of the big hit determination is a big hit, the main CPU 66 sets the control state flags in order of “00”, “01”, “02”, “03”, The processing of step S72, step S73, step S74, and step S75 shown in FIG. 37 is executed at a predetermined timing, and control to the big hit gaming state is executed. Further, when the control to the big hit gaming state is executed, the main CPU 66 sets the control state flags in order of “04”, “05”, “06”, thereby performing step S77 shown in FIG. The process of step S78 and step S76 is executed at a predetermined timing, and the specific game is executed. When a specific game is being executed and the end condition (specific game end condition) for the big hit game state is satisfied, “04”, “05”, “07”, and “08” are set in this order. Thus, the processing from step S77 to step S80 shown in FIG. 37 is executed at a predetermined timing, and the big hit gaming state is terminated. It should be noted that the specific game end condition is that the game ball has not passed through the specific area until the predetermined time has elapsed (so-called “punk”), or the maximum number of consecutive big hit rounds (in this embodiment, The big hit gaming state will be terminated on the condition that 15 rounds) have been completed.

[Special symbol memory check processing]
The subroutine executed in step S72 in FIG. 37 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 39, it is determined whether or not the control state flag is a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check (step S101), and the control state flag is a value indicating a special symbol storage check. If it is determined that there is, the process proceeds to step S102. If it is not determined that the control state flag is a value indicating a special symbol storage check, this subroutine is terminated. In step S102, it is determined whether or not the reserved number is “0”. If it is determined that the data indicating the reserved number is “0”, the process proceeds to step S103, and the reserved number is stored. If it is not determined that the data indicating “0” is “0”, the process proceeds to step S104.

  In step S103, a demonstration display process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 stores a variable for supplying a demonstration display command to the sub control circuit 200 in the main RAM 70 in order to perform a demonstration display. As a result, the display of the demonstration screen is executed in the sub-control circuit 200. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In step S104, a process of setting a value (01) indicating special symbol variation time management as a control state flag is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 stores a value indicating special symbol variation time management in the control state flag. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S105.

  In step S105, a jackpot determination process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 reads the high probability flag, and selects one jackpot determination table from a plurality of jackpot determination tables having different numbers of jackpot determination values (hit determination values) based on the read high probability flag. . For example, in the jackpot determination table at normal time, two jackpot determination values are set, but in the jackpot determination table at high probability, ten jackpot determination values are set, and based on the high probability flag By selecting the jackpot determination table, the probability of shifting to the jackpot gaming state is different. Thus, when the high probability flag is a predetermined value (for example, “77”), that is, when the gaming state is a probable variation state, the probability of shifting to the big hit gaming state (identification information variable display result specified) The probability of the display mode is improved over the normal time. Then, the main CPU 66 refers to the jackpot determination random number value extracted at the time of starting winning and the selected jackpot determination table. In other words, the main CPU 66 that executes step S105 determines whether or not to enter a big hit gaming state that is advantageous to the player, based on start-up storage information extracted in step 273 described later. In other words, the main CPU 66 that executes Step S105 has a first lottery probability (probability in the normal gaming state) with a relatively low probability and a second lottery probability (probability in the probability variation state) with a relatively high probability. ), And based on the result of the lottery, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (including a normal big hit (normal win) and a promising big hit (special win)). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 66 executing step S105 corresponds to an example of a specific gaming state determination unit, a lottery unit, and a winning determination unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S106.

  In step S106, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit. In this process, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not it is a big hit based on the result of the reference in step S105. If the main CPU 66 determines that it is a big hit, it moves the process to step S107, and if it does not determine that it is a big hit, moves the process to step S108.

  In step S107, a jackpot symbol determination process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 extracts the jackpot symbol random value extracted at the time of starting winning, and determines identification information corresponding to the left column, the middle column, and the right column based on the jackpot symbol random value, Data indicating the identification information is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. In particular, when determining the identification information corresponding to the left column, the middle column, and the right column as a special display mode, the main CPU 66 performs control to shift to the probability change state in the process of step S79 described above. That is, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not to shift to a probability change state advantageous to the player. The data indicating the identification information corresponding to the left column, the middle column, and the right column stored in this manner is derived from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 in FIG. Supplied as a symbol designation command. That is, the main CPU 66 determines to display either a special display mode or a non-special display mode as the specific display mode. The main CPU 66 that executes step S107 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of a specific display mode determination unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S109.

  In step S108, a missing symbol determination process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 extracts a random symbol value for determining an out symbol from the random symbol counter for determining an out symbol, and determines identification information corresponding to the left column, the middle column, and the right column based on the random symbol value for determining the out symbol. Then, data indicating the identification information is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. The data indicating the identification information corresponding to the left column, the middle column, and the right column stored in this manner is derived from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 in FIG. Supplied as a symbol designation command. By executing such processing, that is, the result of variable display of the identification information is determined. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S109.

  In step S109, a variation pattern determination process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 extracts a rendering condition selection random value. The main CPU 66 selects a variation pattern distribution table for determining a variation pattern based on the identification information of the left column, the middle column, and the right column determined in steps S107 and S108. The main CPU 66 determines a variation pattern based on the rendering condition selection random number extracted from the rendering condition selection random number counter and the selected variation pattern distribution table, and stores the variation pattern in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. The data indicating the variation pattern stored in this way is supplied as a variation pattern designation command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 in FIG. The sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 executes an effect display according to the received variation pattern designation command. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S110.

  In step S110, a process of setting a variation time corresponding to the determined variation pattern in the waiting time timer is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 calculates the fluctuation time based on the fluctuation pattern determined by the process of step S109 and the fluctuation time table indicating the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern, and sets a value indicating the fluctuation time. Store in the waiting time timer. Then, a process of clearing the storage area used for the current variation display is executed (step S111). When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Input detection processing]
The subroutine executed in step S43 in FIG. 36 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 40, the main CPU 66 executes prize ball related switch check processing (step S231). In this process, the main CPU 66 receives various sensors such as the V / count sensor 102, the count sensor 104, the general winning ball sensors 106, 108, 110, 112, and the starting winning ball sensor 116, which are switches related to the winning ball. It is detected whether a predetermined detection signal is supplied. Then, the main CPU 66 that has performed the detection processing of these predetermined signals determines the number of prize balls according to the sensor that has supplied the signal, and stores it in the main RAM 70. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S232.

  In step S232, special symbol related switch input processing is executed. As will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 41, it is detected whether a predetermined signal is supplied from the V / count sensor 102, the count sensor 104, and the starting winning ball sensor 116 related to the identification information as a special symbol. The main CPU 66 that has performed the detection processing of these predetermined signals executes processing as described later. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S233.

  In step S233, normal symbol related switch input processing is executed. In this process, the passing ball sensor 114 supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main CPU 66. The main CPU 66 having received these predetermined signals performs processing such as normal symbol start-up storage. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Special symbol related switch input processing]
The subroutine executed in step S232 in FIG. 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 41, it is determined whether or not there is a count switch input (step S261). In this process, when the main CPU 66 determines that there is a count switch input in accordance with a predetermined signal supplied from the count sensor 104, the main CPU 66 stores and updates the large winning award winning counter to be incremented by "1". A count switch detection process is executed (step S262). On the other hand, when the main CPU 66 does not determine that there is a count switch input, the main CPU 66 shifts the processing to step S263.

  In step S263, it is determined whether there is a V / count switch input. In this process, when the main CPU 66 determines that there is a V / count switch input in accordance with a predetermined signal supplied from the V / count sensor 102, the main CPU 66 sets a flag indicating that the specific area has been passed. A V / count switch detection process is executed to store and update the grand prize winning prize counter to be incremented by “1” (step S264). On the other hand, if the main CPU 66 does not determine that there is a V / count switch input, the process proceeds to step S265.

  In step S265, it is determined whether or not there is a start port switch input. In this process, the main CPU 66 receives the predetermined signal supplied from the start winning ball sensor 116 and determines whether or not there is a start port switch input. If the main CPU 66 determines that there is a start port switch input, it moves the process to step S266. If it does not determine that there is a start port switch input, the main CPU 66 ends this subroutine. That is, the CPU 66 that executes step S265 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of a start area detection unit that detects a game ball that has passed through the start port 44 provided in the game area 15 of the game board 14.

  In step S266, a start port detection time process is executed, and when this process ends, this subroutine ends. The main CPU 66, when determining that the data indicating the number of reserves is smaller than “4”, extracts the big hit determination random number value and the big hit symbol random number value, and the main RAM 70, as will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Is stored in a predetermined area. The main CPU 66 performs a notice execution lottery and sets various commands in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Start-up port detection process]
The subroutine executed in step S266 in FIG. 41 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 42, the main CPU 66 reads the starting memory number (so-called “data indicating the number of holdings” described above) from the starting memory number counter, and whether or not the starting memory number is “4” or more. Is determined (step S271). In this process, when the main CPU 66 determines that the start memory number is “4” or more, the main CPU 66 ends the present subroutine. That is, when the number of reserves reaches the upper limit number, the game ball has won the start opening 44, but this subroutine is ended without storing the start storage information. On the other hand, if the main CPU 66 determines that the starting memory number is smaller than “4”, the main CPU 66 increments the starting memory number counter by “1” (step S272), and moves the process to step S273.

  In step S273, the main CPU 66 extracts the jackpot determination random number from the jackpot determination random number counter, and extracts the jackpot symbol random number from the jackpot determination random number counter. The main CPU 66 stores the extracted jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value in the predetermined area of the main RAM 70 as startup storage information. The data indicating the jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value stored in this way is read out by the main CPU 66 in the processing such as step S105 in FIG. The type of identification information to be determined is determined. In this way, the main CPU 66 has a predetermined variable display start condition that allows variable display of the identification information to be executed when a predetermined variable display hold condition is satisfied when a game ball enters the start opening 44. Until this time, the starting storage information for determining the result of variable display of the identification information is stored with a predetermined number as an upper limit. In other words, the main CPU 66 uses start memory information for determining whether or not to shift to the big hit game state on condition that the game ball has passed through the start port 44 (start area) provided in the game area 15. When the predetermined variable display hold condition is established, the start storage information is stored with a predetermined number as an upper limit. Note that the main CPU 66 that executes step S273 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of a startup storage information extraction unit. In addition, the main CPU 66 and the main RAM 70 that execute step S273 in the present embodiment correspond to an example of a startup storage information storage unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S275.

  In step S274, the main CPU 66 sets the data including the start storage information and indicating the start storage number designation command indicating that the number of holdings increases by “1” in a predetermined storage area in the main RAM 70. Thus, the data indicating the start memory number designation command is supplied as a start memory number designation command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub CPU 206 of the sub control circuit 200 by the process of step S47 in FIG. As a result, the sub-control circuit 200 can recognize that the start memory information has increased by “1”. In addition, in the sub-control circuit 200, the start storage information can be referred to. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Operation of sub-control circuit]
On the other hand, the sub control circuit 200 receives various commands transmitted from the main control circuit 60, and executes a command reception process as shown in FIG.

[Command reception processing]
First, as shown in FIG. 43, it is determined whether or not a variation pattern designation command has been received (step S301). In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that a variation pattern designation command has been received from the main control circuit 60, the sub CPU 206 determines a variation pattern based on the received command, and stores data indicating the determined variation pattern in the work RAM 210. The area is set (step S302). When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that a command other than the variation pattern designation command has been received, it moves the process to step S303.

  If it is not determined in step S301 that the variation pattern designation command has been received, it is determined whether a derived symbol designation command has been received (step S303). In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that a derived symbol designation command has been received, the sub CPU 206 determines a stop symbol based on the received command, and sets data indicating the determined stop symbol in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210 ( Step S304). On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that it has received the derived symbol designation command, it moves the process to step S305.

  If it is not determined in step S303 that the derived symbol designation command has been received, it is determined whether a symbol confirmation command has been received (step S305). In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that a symbol determination command has been received, it executes a stop symbol determination process (step S306). On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that it has received the symbol confirmation command, it moves the process to step S307.

  In step S307, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a start memory number designation command has been received. In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that it has received a start memory number designation command from the main control circuit 60, it sets start memory information corresponding to the start memory number designation command (step S308). The sub CPU 206 determines the start memory number based on the start memory number designation command received from the main control circuit 60, and updates the data indicating the start memory number positioned in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. That is, the sub CPU 206 receives the start memory number designation command on the condition that the game ball has passed through the start port 44 (start area) provided in the game area 15, and determines whether or not to shift to the big hit gaming state. The starting storage information for determining is stored. The sub CPU 206 and the work RAM 210 that execute step S308 in the present embodiment correspond to an example of a startup storage information storage unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that it has not received the start memory number designation command from the main control circuit 60, it executes control corresponding to the other received command (step S309). The other received commands correspond to various commands such as a game state designation command, for example. Other processes corresponding to the received command include various processes such as a process in which the sub CPU 206 sets data indicating the gaming state in the work RAM 210 based on the gaming state designation command when a gaming state designation command is received. This process is included. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In addition, the sub CPU 206 identifies identification information images corresponding to the left column, the middle column, and the right column in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 based on the derived symbol designation command, the variation pattern designation command, etc. Data for deriving and displaying the identification information image to be used and data for displaying the production pattern are supplied to the VDP 212.

  Based on the data from the sub CPU 206, the VDP 212 reads various image data such as special symbol image data indicating identification information, background image data, effect image data, normal symbol image data from the image data ROM 216 and superimposes them. Then, display is performed on the display area 32 a of the liquid crystal display device 32.

  As described above, the sub CPU 206 supplies various data to the VDP 212 to cause variable display of the identification information in the special symbol game, and the effect pattern selected in accordance with the variable display of the identification information. The effect display corresponding to is executed. In particular, a control for variably displaying a plurality of columns (plural types) of identification information for a predetermined time on the liquid crystal display device 32 based on a result of determining whether or not to shift to the big hit gaming state based on a variation pattern designation command. Will be performed. In other words, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 change the identification information in the liquid crystal display device 32 for a predetermined time when the variable information display start condition of identification information (one condition is that the game ball has passed through the start port 44 is included). Control to display the variation is performed.

[Rate determination process]
Further, in the sub control circuit 200, a layout determination process different from the command reception process is executed at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing when a layout condition is satisfied). This layout determination process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 44, the sub CPU 206 executes a scheduled winning combination determination process (step S401). In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a special effect is executed. This special effect refers to the time when the normal role is limited and the time when the full role is limited in the scheduled winning combination determination table. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the special effect is not executed, the sub CPU 206 reads data indicating the gaming state set in step S309, and determines the gaming state based on the data. The sub CPU 206 that executes this process corresponds to an example of a game state determination unit that determines a game state related to a game. Further, the sub CPU 206 extracts a scheduled winning combination determining random number value from the scheduled rising combination determining random number counter positioned in the work RAM 210. Then, the sub CPU 206 refers to the scheduled winning combination determination table based on the determined gaming state (normal gaming state, short-time gaming state or probability variation state) and the extracted random number for determining the scheduled rising combination, A combination is determined and set in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. That is, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S401 selects in advance one of a plurality of types of rising combinations as the player's scheduled rising combination. Further, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S401 selects the player's scheduled winning combination based on the determined gaming state. In the following processing, the sub CPU 206 updates the eyelid table according to the eyelid used. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S401 corresponds to an example of a scheduled advance combination pre-selecting unit.

  On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that the special effect is to be executed, the sub CPU 206 extracts the scheduled winning combination determining random number value from the scheduled rising combination determining random number counter positioned in the work RAM 210. Then, the sub CPU 206 refers to the scheduled winning combination determination table based on the type of the special effect and the extracted random number for determining the scheduled rising combination, determines the scheduled rising combination, and stores it in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. set. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S402.

  In step S402, the sub CPU 206 sets the rising hand on the hand table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 randomly determines the player's rising hand when the scheduled rising combination determined in step S401 is established. That is, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S402 determines a player's rising hand (a player's scheduled rising hand symbol group) in which the player's scheduled winning combination selected in step S401 is established. Specifically, the sub CPU 206 determines the sparrow head (two), and determines the face constituting the scheduled rising combination. Then, the sub CPU 206 determines other faces. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S402 corresponds to an example of a scheduled hand symbol group determining unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S403.

  In step S403, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of removing one wrinkle from the hand wrinkle table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines any one of the player's rising hand determined in step S402 as a scheduled rising hand. In other words, the sub CPU 206 selects one of the plurality of reach cards before starting the variable display of the identification information on the liquid crystal display device 32 that displays the reach table (the table at the time of listening, the reach mode). The reach will be decided. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S403 corresponds to an example of a scheduled symbol determination unit and a reach mode determination unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S404.

  In step S <b> 404, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for determining a rising edge. In this process, the sub CPU 206 refers to the listening state of the rising hand determined in step S403, and adds a single wrinkle from the rising hand as a scheduled rising hand to add a specific display mode. Generates a rising ridge that becomes For this reason, for example, a plurality of types of waiting, such as waiting for both sides, is possible, and variations in the rising hand increase, so that the interest can be improved. Then, the sub CPU 206 calculates a score and a transliteration of a rising combination for each generated rising tile. Then, the sub CPU 206 sets a high eye and a low eye (high value, low value) for each rising eye. Then, the sub CPU 206 stores the rising eyelid in the rising eye table. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S404 and the work RAM 210 that stores the rising eye table correspond to an example of a rising candidate symbol storage unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S405.

  In step S405, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for determining the number of shunts at the time of serving. The number of shunts is the number of wrinkles required until a predetermined rising combination is established. In other words, the sub CPU 206 determines the number of unnecessary baskets at the time of the allocation that is not related to the determined player's rising score. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S405 corresponds to an example of an initial unnecessary symbol number determination unit. Specifically, the sub CPU 206 determines that the number of shunts is 4 shunts in the normal time when the special effect is not executed. On the other hand, when the scheduled winning combination is determined by referring to the selection probabilities when the normal combination is limited, the sub CPU 206 sets the number of shantens as one chanten and becomes a reach hand in the player's first order, and double-reach After being multiplied, an effect that goes up in one shot will be executed. In addition, when the selection probabilities are determined with reference to the selection probability at the time of limited use, the sub CPU 206 sets the number of shunten to 0 shunten, and the servants are arranged in the first order of the player, and the double role A production that goes up fully will be executed. In the present embodiment, one of the 0 shunt, 1 shunt, and 4 shunt is determined as the number of shunts, but is not limited thereto, and may be determined as another number of shunts, not a plurality of shunt numbers. In any case, the number of shunts may be determined to be one. Moreover, you may comprise so that the number of shunts may be determined at random. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S406.

  In step S <b> 406, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of replacing unnecessary sprinkles by the number of Shanten. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines an unnecessary spear to be replaced from the player's rising hand determined in step S402 or the like according to the number of shunts (number of initial unnecessary symbols) determined in step S405. .

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 is still used among the plurality of bags (a plurality of symbols) for the non-replacement hand that cannot be replaced from the player's hand determined in step S402 or the like. It is determined whether or not it has a predetermined relationship with the non-replacement hand by adding at least one of the unused cups (unused symbols), and adding the predetermined relation to the player's hand Unnecessary selection at the time of serving is selected from irrelevant selection (for example, selection that does not become a tarts or face) determined to have no character. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S406 corresponds to an example of an initial unnecessary symbol determination unit and a relationship determination unit.

  Then, the sub CPU 206 executes step S406. The sub CPU 206 executes the player's rising hand determined from the player's rising hand determined in step S402 and the like at the time of distribution determined in this step. It will be replaced with the effective kite included in. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S406 corresponds to an example of a hand symbol replacement unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S407.

  In step S407, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of adding the replaced valid kite to the player valid tab table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 stores, in the player effective cue table, the effective bag that has been replaced with the unnecessary bag at the time of the distribution from the player's scheduled increase in step S406. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S407 and the work RAM 210 in which the player effective claw table is stored correspond to an example of an effective symbol storage unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S408.

  In step S408, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of selecting 17 player's useless mode and adding it to the player's invalid mode table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 refers to the heel table, and stores the unused cocoon that has not yet been stored in the above-described various tables as the player's vain hunting mode in the player invalidated moth mode table. Even in this case, the sub CPU 206 stores the irrelevant trap as a waste trap mode. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S408, and the work RAM 210 in which the player waste wheel table is stored correspond to an example of a player unnecessary symbol storage unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S409.

  In step S409, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the scheduled winning combination is a possible combination. This squelable role is a role that can be established by ringing the opponent's abandoned trap. For example, the role type, Tanyao type, all-band type, three-dark type, three-color same order, It includes a solid color system, a mixed color system, a clear color system, a pure all-band system, a large ternary, a small four color, a single color, and a green color. That is, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the player's scheduled winning combination selected in advance in step S401 is an excluded symbol available combination that is also established by adding the opponent's discard. . If the sub CPU 206 determines that the scheduled winning combination determined in step S401 is a ringable combination, the sub CPU 206 sets a flag for the roaming roaming among the effective roaming on the effective rooster list (step S410). In this process, as described above, the sub CPU 206 sets a squeal flag for a sword that constitutes a face that can squeeze out of the swords stored in the sword table, and sets a squeal as a squeal target. Memorize it in the squeal list. If this step ends, the process moves to step S411. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that the scheduled winning combination determined in step S401 is not a combination that can be squeezed, the process proceeds to step S411. Note that the sub CPU 206 that executes Step S409 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of a scheduled winning combination determination unit.

  In step S <b> 411, the sub CPU 206 executes a process for determining the opponent's rising hand. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 refers to the kite table, and selects an opponent's rising hand from a plurality of kites so that a specific display mode is obtained from unused kites. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S411 corresponds to an example of an opponent's rising hand symbol selection means. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S412.

  In step S <b> 412, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of adding a non-upliftable kite for reach reach to the opponent scheduled discard kit table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 selects any one of a plurality of types of opponent's scheduled discarding patterns (opponent exclusion symbol selection pattern) stored in the program ROM 208. This opponent's scheduled throwing-in pattern includes, for example, a planned throwing-out pattern that does not leave the Pins's throwing away so that the player can recognize it as if they were mixing and clearing pins. In addition, there is a planned abandonment pattern, such as abandoning the Chu-Chan Pai's trap, so that the player can recognize it as if he / she is playing a whole belt, a pure belt, or a warrior. Therefore, the sub CPU 206 pre-selects the opponent's rising hand before the game starts. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S412 corresponds to an example of an opponent exclusion symbol pattern selection unit and an opponent rising symbol selection unit.

  In this way, since the symbol selected from the unused symbols is stored as the opponent exclusion symbol based on any of the opponent exclusion symbol selection patterns selected from the plural types of opponent exclusion symbol selection patterns. The game pattern that allows the player to predict the opponent's hand symbol pattern group can be provided by the pattern pattern excluded from the opponent's hand symbol pattern group, and the game performance can be further improved.

  Then, the sub CPU 206 stores, in the opponent's scheduled discard baskets 1 to 3, the trap selected from the unused traps based on the selected opponent's scheduled discard basket pattern as the opponent's scheduled discard basket. . Further, the sub CPU 206 determines in advance whether or not the cocoon extracted from the unused cocoon is a cocoon stored in the rising cocoon table, and only the cocoons determined not to be cocoons stored in the rising cocoon table. Are stored in the opponent's scheduled discarding tables 1 to 3 as the opponent's scheduled discarding traps. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S412 and the opponent scheduled discarding tables 1 to 3 correspond to an example of an opponent exclusion symbol storage unit. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S412 corresponds to an example of an opponent exclusion symbol determination unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In addition, when such an arrangement determination process is completed, in Step S505, Step S515, and Step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 allocate a plurality of instructions to the liquid crystal display device 32 and distribute the player and the opponent. Control to display as (initial hand) is performed.

  By controlling in this way, it is possible to take control over the development of the game, and to give randomness to the number of initial unnecessary symbols, it is possible to dramatically improve the gameability while maintaining the balance of the game it can. In addition, since the scheduled winning combination is selected based on the gaming state related to the gaming state, the development of the game changes according to the gaming state, so that various games can be executed and the interest can be improved. . Furthermore, it is determined whether or not the non-replaceable hand symbol has a predetermined relationship by adding at least one of the unused symbols to the non-replaceable hand symbol that cannot be replaced from the scheduled hand symbol group. Since the initial unnecessary symbols are selected from the irrelevant symbols determined not to have the predetermined relationship, for example, the game excluding the initial unnecessary symbols can be smoothly developed, and the interest can be improved. .

[Direction execution process]
Further, in the sub control circuit 200, an effect execution process different from the command reception process and the layout determination process is executed. This effect execution process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 45, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a variation pattern designation command has been received (step S451). In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that it has received the variation pattern designation command, it moves the process to step S452. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that it has not received the variation pattern designation command, it ends this subroutine.

  In step S452, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not there are a plurality of specific start storage information, and any of them is specific start storage information corresponding to the current variation display of the identification information. In this process, the sub CPU 206 reads the start memory information stored in the predetermined area of the work RAM 210, the start memory information corresponding to the variable display of the current identification information is the specific start memory information that is a big hit, and It is determined whether or not there is specific start memory information in the start memory information corresponding to the variable display of the identification information after the next time. In other words, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not it is determined to shift to the big hit gaming state again after shifting to the big hit gaming state. If the sub CPU 206 determines that there are a plurality of specific start storage information and any of them is the specific start storage information corresponding to the current variation display of the identification information, the process proceeds to step S453. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that there is not a plurality of specific start storage information or that the start storage information corresponding to the current variation display of the identification information is not the specific start storage information, the sub CPU 206 shifts the processing to step S454. That is, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not there is a plurality of specific start storage information to be shifted to the big hit gaming state in the start storage information stored in step S307. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S452 corresponds to an example of a startup storage information determination unit.

  In step S453, the sub CPU 206 executes a double bonus special effect execution process. As will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 46, the sub CPU 206 executes a double role special effect in which the opponent is raised and assigned, and the player's hand at the time of the assignment is increased. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In step S454, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the planned rising combination is full and whether or not the probable big hit will occur. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 uses a command (for example, variation patterns 0C to 0E) indicating that the expected rising combination determined in step S401 is full and that the received variation pattern designation command does not become a probable variation big hit. Determine if there is. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the expected winning combination is full and does not result in a probable big hit, the process moves to step S455. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 206 determines that the scheduled winning combination is not full or is a probable big hit, the process proceeds to step S456. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes this process corresponds to an example of a special display mode determination unit that determines whether or not to shift to the probability changing state.

  In step S455, the sub CPU 206 executes a normal relegation special effect execution process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 47, the sub CPU 206 executes a special role relegation special effect in which the opponent is raised and assigned, and the player's hand is raised in the normal role. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In step S456, the sub CPU 206 executes a normal effect execution process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 48, the sub CPU 206 executes an effect in the normal time. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  The sub CPU 206 that executes the above-described layout determination process and effect execution process sets the predetermined display mode displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 as a specific display mode (non-special display mode or special display mode). This corresponds to an example of display mode determining means for determining whether or not, and hand symbol group determining means for determining a player's hand in the liquid crystal display device 32. In addition, the sub CPU 206 that executes the effect execution process changes a part of the result of the variable display of the identification information (player's hand) when the variable display start condition of the identification information is newly established. This corresponds to an example of a hand symbol pattern determining means for determining the variable display mode changing means and the player's hand in the liquid crystal display device.

[Double role special effect execution processing]
The subroutine executed in step S453 in FIG. 45 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 46, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of reading the double role special effect block of the effect number “SP1” from the effect block table and setting data indicating the effect block in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. (Step S501). If this process ends, the process moves to a step S502.

  In step S502, the sub CPU 206 executes wrinkle determination processing. Although details will be described with reference to FIG. 50, the sub CPU 206 determines a trap (an abandoned player or opponent's spear or an opponent's spear) for the opponent to rise. Then, in step S503, the sub CPU 206 newly executes a layout determination process, and determines the player's rising score with reference to the role of the scheduled rising combination determination table (FIG. 6). As a result, the sub CPU 206 and the like perform control to establish a predetermined winning combination by executing a big hit effect and the like on the condition that the player's hand is set to a specific display mode that makes a big hit. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505 corresponds to an example of a winning combination establishment control unit. In this way, in step S504, the sub CPU 206 and the like execute a double-use special effect. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S504.

  In step S504, the sub CPU 206 executes probability variation big hit re-variation mode determination processing. As will be described in detail later, the sub CPU 206 determines the re-variation mode so that the player's manual is derived and displayed as a special display mode (especially a double-use mode), and the data indicating the derived design is stored in the work RAM 210. Set to a predetermined area. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S505.

  In step S505, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of executing an effect based on the effect block. In this process, the sub CPU 206 supplies the set effect block, data on the wrinkles set for each effect block, and the like to the VDP 212 and the sound source IC 232. The VDP 212 reads out the image data stored in the image data ROM 216 based on the received data, and performs control to display various images on the liquid crystal display device 32. The sound source IC 232 also performs control for generating sound based on the sound data stored in the sound data ROM 234 from the speaker 46 based on the received data. Further, the sub CPU 206 reads the lamp pattern from the decoration data ROM 244 based on the set effect block and the data relating to the eyelid set for each effect block, and performs the light emission control of various lamps 132.

  Thereby, the sub CPU 206 and the like combine the one or a plurality of effect blocks determined in step S501 into an effect pattern, and execute an image related to the game based on the effect pattern. In particular, the sub CPU 206 or the like performs a double role special effect by performing a display control that raises the opponent's hand and then distributes the player's hand as a full hand. Will be executed. Note that the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of various means. At the time of serving, the serving condition is satisfied, and the above-described serving determining process (FIG. 44) is executed so that only the full hand is selected as the scheduled winning combination at the time of serving. It becomes. In addition, at the timing when the player or opponent's nest number is reached, an effect for performing a nest is executed, and a throwing away type effect process (FIG. 52) to be described later is executed. Further, the sub CPU 206 updates a hand table, presence / absence of a yam, before and after listening, a round, and a state of an effect including a person who makes a tsumu as the double special special effect progresses. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S506.

  In step S <b> 506, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of storing the discard in the discard table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 stores the discarded trash discarded from the player's or opponent's manual in the discarded trash table. Thereby, in steps S474 and 475 (FIG. 52), which will be described later, an analysis of the type of thrown away and a comment effect relating to the thrown away waste are executed. The sub CPU 206 that executes step S506, step S516, and step S536, which will be described later, corresponds to an example of an excluded symbol storage unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, it becomes possible to recognize that there is a plurality of specific start memory information by becoming a special display mode, such as a mode in which double play is fulfilled, so it may shift to a specific gaming state continuously. It can provide a sense of expectation that there is not, and can improve interest. In addition, a variety of effects can be produced by combining a plurality of symbols as compared to the effect of a single symbol, and the interest can be further improved.

[Normal role special performance execution processing]
The subroutine executed in step S455 of FIG. 45 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 47, the sub CPU 206 reads a normal role demoting special effect block with an effect number “SP2” from the effect block table, and sets data indicating the effect block in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. Execute (Step S511). If this process ends, the process moves to a step S512.

  In step S512, the sub CPU 206 executes wrinkle determination processing. Although details will be described with reference to FIG. 50, the sub CPU 206 determines a trap for the opponent to rise (an opponent's throw-away trap or an opponent's spear trap). Then, in step S513, the sub CPU 206 newly executes a layout determination process, and determines the player's rising score with reference to the normal combination in the scheduled rising combination determination table (FIG. 6). Then, the sub CPU 206 determines the player's rising habits (player's hooks, opponent's abandonment, etc.) so as to raise the player's hand in the normal role. As a result, the special role demotion special effect is executed in step S515. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S514.

  In step S514, the sub CPU 206 executes normal jackpot re-variation mode determination processing. As will be described in detail later, the sub CPU 206 determines the re-variation mode so that the player's handbook is derived and displayed as a non-special display mode (a mode that is not useful), and the work RAM 210 stores data indicating the derived design. Set to a predetermined area. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S514.

  In step S515, the sub CPU 206 combines one or a plurality of effect blocks determined in step S511 into an effect pattern, and executes an image related to the game based on the effect pattern. In particular, the sub CPU 206 and the like execute processing for executing an effect based on the effect block. In this process, the sub CPU 206 supplies the set effect block, data on the wrinkles set for each effect block, and the like to the VDP 212 and the sound source IC 232. The VDP 212 reads out the image data stored in the image data ROM 216 based on the received data, and performs control to display various images on the liquid crystal display device 32. The sound source IC 232 also performs control for generating sound based on the sound data stored in the sound data ROM 234 from the speaker 46 based on the received data. Further, the sub CPU 206 reads the lamp pattern from the decoration data ROM 244 based on the set effect block and the data relating to the eyelid set for each effect block, and performs the light emission control of various lamps 132.

  Accordingly, the sub CPU 206 or the like causes the player or other opponent to transfer the determined opponent's rising habit to raise the opponent. Then, the player's hand is arranged so as to become a normal hand. Then, after the completion of the arrangement, the player's hand is heard in a predetermined round (for example, 1-2 rounds), and after reaching the player's hand (there may be no case), the player's hand By performing control to raise the normal role, the normal role relegation special performance is executed. Note that the sub CPU 206 that executes step S515 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of various means. In particular, when the sub CPU 206 is determined to display a special display mode in step S401 and displays a non-special display mode in the main control circuit 60 (steps S105 and 107) (transition to the normal jackpot gaming state). On the condition that it is determined, the display mode displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 is controlled to be changed from the special display mode to the non-special display mode. In other words, the sub CPU 206 or the like that executes step S515 is determined to display a special display mode in step S401, on the condition that it is determined that the main control circuit 60 (step S105) shifts to the big hit gaming state. Then, a control for causing the opponent's rising hand to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 and to be raised is performed. As a result, the sub CPU 206 and the like perform control to establish a predetermined winning combination by executing a big hit effect and the like on the condition that the player's hand is set to a specific display mode that makes a big hit. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S515 corresponds to an example of a rising combination establishment control unit and a display mode change unit.

  At the time of the allocation, the allocation condition is satisfied, and the above-described allocation determination process (FIG. 44) is executed so that only the normal combination is selected as the scheduled combination combination. In addition, at the timing when the player or opponent's nest number is reached, an effect for performing a nest is executed, and a throwing away type effect process (FIG. 52) to be described later is executed. Further, the sub CPU 206 updates the state of the performance including the hand table, the presence / absence of the yam, before and after the listening, the tournament, and the person who is addicted as the normal role demoting special effect progresses. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S516.

  In step S516, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of storing the discard in the discard table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 stores the discarded trash discarded from the player's or opponent's manual in the discarded trash table. Thereby, in steps S474 and 475 (FIG. 52), which will be described later, an analysis of the type of thrown away and a comment effect relating to the thrown away waste are executed. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, the game can be controlled. In addition, even if a scheduled winning combination and a lottery result are generated, the winning combination corresponding to the lottery result can be displayed, so that there is no inconvenience in the game hall. Also, since the opponent's rising hand symbol group consisting of the opponent's hand symbols is displayed, the opponent's rising hand symbol group is determined in advance, and the opponent's rising hand symbol group can be easily generated, and the game Development of the game can be made smooth, the development of the game can be controlled, and a decrease in interest can be prevented without causing any inconvenience in the game.

[Normal performance execution processing]
The subroutine executed in step S456 of FIG. 45 will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 and 49.

  First, as shown in FIG. 48, the sub CPU 206 executes an effect block determination table reference process corresponding to the variation pattern designation command (step S521). If this process ends, the process moves to a step S522.

  In step S522, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for setting an effect block corresponding to the variation pattern. In this processing, as described above, the sub CPU 206 refers to the effect block determination table in step S521, as a result of the change pattern designation command, presence / absence of yam, before / after hearing, person to tsumo, remaining time to be adjusted, etc. The production block is determined based on the production status and the lottery result.

  Specifically, the sub CPU 206 refers to the effect block according to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the sub CPU 206 reads the variation time based on the variation pattern designation command and sets it in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. Furthermore, the sub CPU 206 sets data indicating the state of effects such as before and after listening in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210 based on the effects previously executed in step S505, step S515, and step S535 described later. After performing such processing, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect block corresponding to the variation time. Of course, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery for selecting a production block as necessary. Further, when the production block with the production number “Z” is selected, the sub CPU 206 determines the execution time of the production block with the production number “Z” based on the production time and the variation time of the other production blocks. It will be counted and referred to in step S527 described later. The sub CPU 206 sets the time for executing the effect block of the effect number “Z” thus counted in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210.

  In step S523, the sub CPU 206 executes a wrinkle determination process. Although details will be described with reference to FIG. 50, the sub CPU 206 determines the type of bag, such as a spear bag or a discarded bag corresponding to the production block, for each production block determined in step S <b> 522. As a result, the sub CPU 206 determines all types of wrinkles in the effect blocks excluding the effect block with the effect number “Z”. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S524.

  In step S524, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not all the effect blocks have been set. In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that all the effect blocks have been set, the process proceeds to step S525. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that all the effect blocks have been set, the sub CPU 206 shifts the process to step S523 again. In other words, when the wrinkles for all the production blocks are not set, step S523 is repeatedly executed.

  In step S525, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not there is a remaining time adjustment effect block. In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that there is an effect block (effect block for remaining time adjustment) of the effect number “Z” in the effect blocks determined in step S522, the process proceeds to step S526. Transfer. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that there is an effect block for adjusting the remaining time, it moves the process to step S531 in FIG.

  In step S526, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of referring to the remaining time adjustment effect block selection table. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S527.

  In step S527, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of setting a remaining time adjustment effect block. In this process, as described above, the sub CPU 206 calculates the remaining time for the effect number “Z”. As a result of referring to the effect block selection table for adjusting the remaining time in step S526, the sub CPU 206 determines the remaining time to be adjusted. Based on the presence / absence of foothills, before and after listening, the state of effects such as the person to be sprinkled, and the lottery result, the effect block is determined and set in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. Then, the sub CPU 206 updates the remaining time based on the effect time corresponding to the determined effect block. This process is repeatedly executed until the remaining time reaches “0 seconds”.

  That is, according to the variation pattern designation command received as a result of the big hit determination, the sub CPU 206 selects one or more from the plurality of types of representation blocks as the representation pattern from when the identification information is displayed after being displayed in variation. A plurality of effect blocks will be selected (determined). In addition, when selecting one or a plurality of effect blocks from a plurality of types of effect blocks, the sub CPU 206 indicates the state of the effect executed as the previous effect pattern (for example, presence / absence of yam, before / after listening, tsum number). One or a plurality of effect blocks will be selected according to the effect state to be shown. Furthermore, since the sub CPU 206 refers to the effect block determination table as described above, the sub CPU 206 selects one or more effect blocks thereafter according to the effect block selected previously. Further, the sub CPU 206 counts a cumulative effect execution time that is a cumulative effect time of one or more selected effect blocks, and identifies based on the variation time of the identification information and the counted total effect execution time. The remaining time until the information is derived and displayed is counted, and one or a plurality of effect blocks are selected from a plurality of types of effect blocks based on the counted remaining time.

  In addition, when a predetermined effect execution condition corresponding to the type of the variation pattern designation command or the like is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 displays the effect block with the effect number “G” and the effect block with the effect number “H” (first effect). In some cases, a plurality of effect blocks (second effect blocks) with an effect number “A” having a shorter execution time than the effect type and the same effect content may be selected (determined) together with the effect block with the effect number “A”. Production block (third production block) such as production number “D1” (production block with production number “G”, production block with production number “H”, production block different from production block with production number “A”) A plurality of selections are made (decided). The sub CPU 206 that executes steps S522 and 527 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of an effect block selecting unit, an effect block determining unit, a total effect executing time counting unit, and a remaining time counting unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S528.

  Thereby, the display time of the second effect block such as the effect block of the effect number “A” is shorter than that of the first effect block such as the effect block of the effect number “G” and the effect block of the effect number “H”. By selecting a plurality of the second effect blocks, it is possible to execute a variety of effects and enhance the interest of the game. Different from the first effect block and the second effect block, the third effect block such as the effect block with the effect number “D1” is more varied by selecting the third effect block. Production can be performed and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  In step S528, the sub CPU 206 executes wrinkle determination processing. Although details will be described with reference to FIG. 50, the sub CPU 206 determines the type of bag, such as a spear bag and a discarded bag corresponding to the effect block, for each effect block determined in step S527. As a result, the sub CPU 206 determines all types of wrinkles in the effect block included in the effect block of the effect number “Z”. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S529.

  In step S529, the sub CPU 206 determines whether there is a remaining time. In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that there is a remaining time, it moves the process to step S526. That is, if there is a remaining time, steps S526 to S528 are repeatedly executed. As a result, the production block is repeatedly selected until the remaining time reaches “0 seconds”. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that there is a remaining time, it moves the process to step S531 of FIG.

  In step S531, as shown in FIG. 49, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not it is a big hit. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not it is a big hit depending on whether or not the variation pattern designation command is a command to a big hit. If the sub CPU 206 determines that it is a big hit, it moves the process to step S531. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that it is not a big hit, it moves the process to step S535.

  In step S532, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not it is a normal big hit. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the variation pattern designation command is a normal jackpot, depending on whether or not the change pattern designation command is a command that normally becomes a big jackpot. If the sub CPU 206 determines that it is a normal big hit, it moves the process to step S533. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that it is a probable big hit, it moves the process to step S534.

  In step S533, the sub CPU 206 executes normal big hit hour re-variation mode determination processing. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines the re-variation mode at the time of normal big hit. Specifically, the sub CPU 206 determines a display mode after the player's hand is temporarily displayed (temporary stop display). By performing such processing, the sub CPU 206 or VDP 212 that executes step S505, step S515, or step S535 raises the player's hand in the liquid crystal display device 32 when a predetermined re-variable display condition is satisfied. After temporarily displaying temporarily as a spear (after adding a spear to the player's reach hand), control is performed so that it can be displayed again as a new player's hand.

  In the present embodiment, the player's hand can be displayed in a redisplay mode in which temporary display and redisplay are repeated a plurality of times. In this case, the sub CPU 206 determines the result of temporary display, the mode of re-variation, the result of re-display, the result of derivation display, and the like that can be changed in time series. That is, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505, step S515, and step S535 temporarily displays the player's hand temporarily as a specific display mode, and then re-displays a plurality of times. (Variable display) is performed, and for each redisplay, a part of the player's manual is redisplayed in a predetermined variable display mode. In particular, the sub CPU 206 determines the re-variation mode so that the last re-displayed result, that is, the derived display result does not have a special display mode.

  By performing such processing, the sub CPU 206 or the like that executes Step S515 and Step S535 temporarily displays the handbook in the liquid crystal display device 32 (the player's handbook is added with a habit. ) After that, control that can be redisplayed as a new measure is performed. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes steps S515 and S535 and the VDP 212 correspond to an example of a redisplay control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S535.

  On the other hand, in step S534, the sub CPU 206 executes probability variation big hit re-variation mode determination processing. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines the re-variation mode at the time of probability variation big hit. Specifically, the sub CPU 206 determines a display mode after the player's hand is temporarily displayed (temporary stop display). By performing such processing, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505 and step S535 and the VDP 212 temporarily raise the player's hand in the liquid crystal display device 32 as a rising hand when a predetermined re-variable display condition is established. After the temporary display, the control is performed so that it can be re-displayed as a new player's hand (after the player's reach hand is added).

  In the present embodiment, the player's hand can be displayed in a redisplay mode in which temporary display and redisplay are repeated a plurality of times. In this case, the sub CPU 206 determines the result of temporary display, the mode of re-variation, the result of re-display, the result of derivation display, and the like that can be changed in time series. That is, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505 and step S535 temporarily displays the player's hand as a specific display mode temporarily, and then re-displays a plurality of times (re-variable display and re-variable display). Each time the redisplay is performed, a control is performed to redisplay a part of the player's hand in a predetermined variation display mode.

  In particular, when determining the result of temporary display or the result of redisplay, the sub CPU 206 determines the player's hand that has been temporarily stopped and displayed as a winning combination. Then, the sub CPU 206 searches for a hand with a higher winning combination by changing a part of the player's hand. For example, if the player's rising role is upright or tanyao, the sub CPU 206 can change the part of the upright to increase the value of the upright, such as upright, tanyao, or sandan Determine whether. When the sub CPU 206 determines that the value of the rising combination can be increased, the sub CPU 206 sets the display mode (second display mode) that increases the rising combination in the work RAM 210 as the temporary display mode. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that the value of the winning combination cannot be increased, the sub CPU 206 does not set the display mode (second display mode) for increasing the value of the rising role in the work RAM 210.

  By controlling in this way, in step S505 and step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the like are determined to shift to the probability changing state, and if the predetermined re-variation display condition is satisfied, the player's hand is non-special. As a first specific display mode included in the display mode, a temporary stop display is temporarily performed, and then a part of the player's manual is displayed again in a predetermined variation display mode, and the display is performed again. Performing a temporary stop display on the second specific display mode having a higher value than the first specific display mode (for example, having a high rising role and a high rising score). Become. Of course, there is a case where control for temporarily stopping display on the second specific display mode is not performed.

  Further, when determining the probability variation big hit time re-variation mode in this process, the sub CPU 206 has a higher probability than the case of determining the normal big hit time re-variation mode in step S533 described above. By changing the part, the winning combination will be enhanced. In other words, when the predetermined re-variation display condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 and the like, when determined to shift to the probability change state, have a higher probability than the player determines not to shift to the probability change state. After temporarily displaying a temporary stop as a first specific display mode included in the non-special display mode, a part of the player's manual is displayed again in a predetermined variable display mode. The re-displayed manual is temporarily stopped and displayed on a second specific display mode having a higher value than the first specific display mode (for example, a high rising score and a high rising score). Control will be performed.

  In the normal big hit re-variation mode determination process according to the present embodiment, the redisplay effect that increases the value of the player's hand is not executed. In the variation mode determination process, a redisplay effect that enhances the value of the player's skill is executed with a lower probability than the probability variation big hit re-variation mode determination process, that is, even if the probability variation jackpot is not achieved You may comprise so that the gasse production which can provide the expectation that it may become a big hit may be performed. Further, as a special display mode, it may not be configured so as to include countfulness.

  In addition, the sub CPU 206 changes a part or all of the player's hand, so that the wrinkle that makes the winning combination full (including the counting full) is re-variable display mode (derived display mode). Is set in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. By executing such processing, in step S505 and step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the like are determined to shift to the probability change state, and if the predetermined re-variation display condition is satisfied, the player's manual is taken. After temporarily displaying a temporary stop as the first specific display mode included in the non-special display mode, a part of the player's manual is displayed again in a predetermined variable display mode, Control is performed to re-display (lead-out display) the displayed hand tile as a special display mode. In addition, when the player's hand is full, the re-variable display mode after determining the jackpot greater than full is sometimes determined.

  Further, as will be described in detail later, when it is determined that the sub CPU 206 is to shift to the probability change state, if the player's hand has a high-rising heel and a low-rising heel, the sub CPU 206 has a relatively high probability. Then, control is performed to raise and raise the player's hand. For this reason, the sub CPU 206 is determined to shift to the probability changing state, and when the display control is performed to add the high eyelash to the player's hand, when the predetermined re-variation display condition is satisfied, With a high probability, the display mode for temporarily displaying the player's hand so as to increase the winning combination is determined, and the display mode for redisplaying as a special display mode is determined.

  By performing such processing, the sub CPU 206 that executes steps S505 and S535 and the VDP 212 perform special display modes when control is performed to temporarily display a high-rise eyelid described later. The control for redisplaying is performed. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes steps S505 and S535 and the VDP 212 correspond to an example of a redisplay control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S535.

  In this way, unlike the conventional re-lottery method, not all the identification information is always re-displayed and only a part of the variable display mode of the identification information is changed again for each variable display. It is possible to perform a re-lottery effect that can be expected to have a greater effect than a gaming machine. As a result, it is possible to break away from the conventional monotony and raise the player's expectation. In addition, a display mode at a stage having a certain value or more among a plurality of types is set as a special display mode. Accordingly, since the display can be changed to a display mode with higher value by changing the display again, it is possible to increase the player's expectation. As a result, it is possible to improve interest. For example, when a mahjong game is assumed, the winning combination can be expressed in a display mode in which the value is divided into several stages. At this time, when the reciprocal of the rising combination is changed from 3 to 12 by the occurrence of the exchange of the kite (corresponding to the change display again in the present invention), even if the rising combination is full (translation number) 13)), and even if it is not shifted to a probable state, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that “there is a few more counts,” so that the player's interest in the game can be improved. It becomes possible to plan. Further, after the first specific display mode is temporarily stopped, the second specific display mode having a higher value than the first specific display mode is temporarily stopped after the variable display is displayed again. Therefore, as a result of giving the player a sense of expectation, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In step S535, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of executing an effect based on the effect block. In this process, the sub CPU 206 supplies the set effect block, data on the wrinkles set for each effect block, and the like to the VDP 212 and the sound source IC 232. The VDP 212 reads out the image data stored in the image data ROM 216 based on the received data, and performs control to display various images on the liquid crystal display device 32. Thereby, the sub CPU 206 or the like executing step S535 causes the VDP 212 to combine the one or a plurality of effect blocks determined in steps S522 and 527 into an effect pattern, and execute an image related to the game based on the effect pattern. It becomes. In addition, the sub CPU 206 or the like performs control for establishing a predetermined winning combination by executing a big hit effect or the like on the condition that the player's hand is set to a specific display mode that is a big hit. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505 corresponds to an example of a winning combination establishment control unit. Moreover, it corresponds to an example of other various means. At the time of serving, the serving condition is satisfied, and the above-described serving determining process (FIG. 44) is executed. In addition, at the timing when the player or opponent's nest number is reached, an effect for performing a nest is executed, and a throwing away type effect process (FIG. 52) to be described later is executed. Further, the sub CPU 206 updates a hand table, presence / absence of a yam, before and after listening, a round, a state of an effect including a person who makes a trip, and the like according to the progress of the effect. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S536.

  In step S536, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of storing the discard in the discard table. In this process, the sub CPU 206 stores the discarded trash discarded from the player's or opponent's manual in the discarded trash table. Thereby, in steps S474 and 475 (FIG. 52), which will be described later, an analysis of the type of thrown away and a comment effect relating to the thrown away waste are executed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S537.

  In step S537, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not there is an effect block to be executed. In this process, if the sub CPU 206 determines that there is no effect block to be executed, the sub CPU 206 ends the present subroutine. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 determines that there is an effect block to be executed, it moves the process to step S535 again.

[牌 decision processing]
The subroutine executed in step S502 in FIG. 46, step S512 in FIG. 47, step S523 in FIG. 48, and step S528 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 50, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of setting a useless candy box or the like for each of the joysticks and discarded candy of each effect block (step S541). In this processing, the sub CPU 206 selects one of the waste game modes stored in the player waste game mode table as the player's game in the effect block selected in step S501, step S511, step S522, or step S527. May be selected and set. In addition, the sub CPU 206 selects an opponent's abandonment to be excluded from the opponent's hand from the opponent's scheduled abandonment tables 1 to 3 as the opponent's abandonment in the production block, and sets Sometimes. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S541 corresponds to an example of an opponent exclusion hand symbol selection means.

  Further, when various conditions described below are satisfied, the set waste mode etc. will be changed. For this reason, a predetermined wasteful condition is that various conditions described below are not satisfied. Further, when the spider number in the effect block is a player, the player spider condition (predetermined hand-hand symbol exchange condition) is established.

  As a result, in step S505, step S515, and step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 perform display control for adding any one of the waste game modes stored in the player waste mode table to the player's manual and discarding it. It will be. In addition, the sub CPU 206 that executes Step S505, Step S515, and Step S535 performs display control for discarding any of the traps stored in the opponent scheduled discard trap tables 1 to 3 from the opponent's trap. . That is, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 use the player's waste stored in the player invalid game table when the game number is the player and the later-described valid game condition, rising condition, etc. are not satisfied. Display control is performed in which any one of the game modes is added as a player's manual. In addition, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 perform control to display the discard of the selected opponent. In other words, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212, when the player tsumo condition is satisfied, but when the effective heel condition (predetermined effective symbol exchange condition) is not satisfied, Display control is performed to add one of the traps as a player's hand. In this embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505, step S515, and step S535, and the VDP 212, the opponent exclusion symbol display control means, the player unnecessary symbol distribution control means, the hand symbol exclusion display control means, and the excluded This corresponds to an example of symbol display control means. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S542.

  In this way, at least one of the unused symbols among a plurality of symbols is stored as an opponent exclusion symbol, and the predetermined hand symbol replacement condition is satisfied, but the predetermined effective symbol replacement condition is satisfied. If not, select the opponent exclusion hand symbol to be excluded from the opponent's hand from the opponent exclusion symbol, so the opponent exclusion symbol excluded from the opponent's hand is unused It is possible to select from at least one of the above, and the gameability with the opponent is added, and by controlling the development of the game, while maintaining a higher game balance, the rise by the opponent exclusion pattern etc. Can provide a sense of expectation, and can further improve game play.

  In step S542, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the valid habit condition is satisfied. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an effective heel condition is satisfied based on the round in the progress of the game and the number of shunts of the player's hand. Specifically, the sub CPU 206 determines that the game state is 4 Shanten in the 10th round, 3 Shanten in the 12th round, 2 Shanten in the 14th round, or 16th round. In the case of 1 shunt, it is determined that the effective dredging condition is satisfied. In addition, when the sub CPU 206 receives a variation pattern designation command that is a big hit, if it is before listening, the sub CPU 206 determines that the effective habit condition is satisfied. Further, the sub CPU 206 determines that the effective habit condition is not satisfied when it is after listening. In addition, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the valid habit condition is satisfied at random. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the effective saddle condition is satisfied, it moves the process to step S543. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that the effective habit condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 shifts the processing to step S551 in FIG.

  In step S <b> 543, the sub CPU 206 executes valid eyelid determination processing. In this process, the sub CPU 206 selects one of the valid cards stored in the player valid game table and sets it in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S544.

  In step S544, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the squealing condition is satisfied. In this process, when the sub CPU 206 determines that the scheduled winning combination is a squelable combination, the sub CPU 206 randomly determines whether or not the squeal flag is attached to the effective sword stored in the player effective claw table. The squealing condition is satisfied. For example, the sub CPU 206 does not satisfy the squealing condition when the scheduled winning combination is not a squelable combination, or when the squeal flag is not attached to the effective sword stored in the player effective claw table. Even when such a condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the sounding condition is satisfied at random. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the squealing condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 shifts the processing to step S545. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that the squealing condition is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 advances the process to step S548.

  In step S545, the sub CPU 206 executes effect block change processing. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets the effect block in which the sound is made in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210 so as to change the effect block selected in step S522 to the effect block in which the sound is made. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S546.

  In step S546, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of setting the wasteful moments and the like again for every moment and discarding of each effect block. In this process, the sub CPU 206 may select and set one of the useless modes stored in the player useless mode table as the player's mode in the effect block changed in step S545. In addition, the sub CPU 206 selects an opponent's abandonment to be excluded from the opponent's hand from the opponent's scheduled abandonment tables 1 to 3 as the opponent's abandonment in the production block, and sets Sometimes. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S541 and the VDP 212 correspond to an example of an opponent excluded hand symbol selection means. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S547.

  In step S547, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for changing a predetermined throwing pot into a valid bowl. In this process, the sub CPU 206 selects the valid kit determined in step S543 instead of the opponent's discard kit set in step S546, and sets it in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. In other words, the sub CPU 206 replaces the opponent's scheduled discard table 1 to 3 with the selection flag, and the effective flag set with the squeak flag of the effective cards stored in the player's effective game table. One of these will be determined as abandoned to throw away from the opponent's hand. If the squeal flag is not attached to the effective sword determined in step S543 described above, the sub CPU 206 again squeezes the squeal flag from the valid sword stored in the player valid claw table. An effective bag is selected and set in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210, and the selected effective bag is set instead of the waste bag mode.

  By executing such processing, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S535 and the VDP 212 perform display control for discarding the effective bag selected as the opponent's discard from the opponent's manual, and the effective control. Display control is performed to display a spear, the player rings and adds an effective spear to the player's hand. In other words, when the sub CPU 206 or the VDP 212 that executes step S535 determines that the scheduled winning combination is a role that can be squeezed, if the squealing condition is satisfied, any one of the opponent's scheduled discarding tables 1 to 3 is selected. Instead of the 選 択 selected from the player's effective ヅ mode table, discard one of the effective た stored in the player's ヅ ヅ mode table from the opponent's manual and throw it away. Display control for adding a bag to the player's hand is performed. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S535 described above and the VDP 212 correspond to an example of an effective symbol exchange unit and an opponent exclusion symbol display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S551.

  In this way, it is determined whether or not the player's scheduled winning combination is an excluded symbol available combination that is also established by adding an opponent excluded symbol, and when the determination result is an excluded symbol available combination When a predetermined exclusion symbol acquisition condition is established, one of the effective symbols is excluded from the opponent's hand symbol group, so that the effective symbol is used as an opponent exclusion symbol depending on the player's scheduled rising role. It is easy to control the addition of the excluded effective symbol to the player's hand symbol group, and the game development can be made smooth, and the game development is controlled. In addition, it is possible to suppress inconveniences in gaming such as the removal of hand symbols, and to prevent a decrease in interest.

  In step S548, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for changing a predetermined waste mode to a valid mode. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets the player's effective game determined in step S543, instead of the useless game set in step S541. Thereby, in step S505, step S515, and step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 add one of the valid cards stored in the player valid game table to the player's manual, thereby As a result, the number of shunts increases, and display control is performed to exclude unnecessary spears included in the player's hand. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 that execute step S505, step S515, and step S535 described above correspond to an example of an effective symbol exchange unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S551.

  In this way, when a predetermined effective symbol exchange condition is satisfied, any one of the effective symbols included in the scheduled rising hand symbol group replaced with the initial unnecessary symbol is added to the hand symbol group. By adding to the hand symbol group, the hand symbol group that can be raised will be displayed, and it is possible to easily perform control to establish the final scheduled rising role that has been determined in advance, and to provide more stable gaming. be able to. In addition, if the predetermined valid symbol exchange condition is satisfied, one of the valid symbols included in the scheduled hand symbol group replaced with the initial unnecessary symbol is added to the hand symbol group, and the initial unnecessary symbol is excluded. Therefore, by adding the effective symbol to the hand symbol group, the hand symbol group that can be raised will be displayed, and the control to establish the final scheduled rising role that has been determined in advance can be easily performed, and more stable Playability can be provided. Furthermore, at least one of the unused symbols among a plurality of symbols is stored as a player-unnecessary symbol, and a predetermined hand symbol replacement condition is satisfied, but a predetermined effective symbol replacement condition is satisfied. If not, display control is performed to add one of the player-unnecessary symbols as a player's hand. It can be controlled so that it will not be established, and by controlling the development of the game, it is possible to provide a sense of expectation as to whether or not the player unnecessary symbols will be exchanged while maintaining a higher game balance. The property can be further improved.

  In step S551, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a rising condition (a predetermined rising condition) is satisfied. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the rising condition is satisfied, depending on whether or not the variation pattern designation command is a command indicating that it is a big hit, and whether or not it is the last tab number in the selected effect block. to decide. In addition, when a plurality of effect blocks are selected, and if these effect blocks are tsumed multiple times, the rising condition is established at the timing of the last tsum number. Specifically, an effect block with an effect number “D1”, an effect block with an effect number “A3”, an effect block with an effect number “A3”, an effect block with an effect number “A3”, an effect block with an effect number “A2”, When the production block is selected in the order of production block with production number “AT3”, the rising condition is established in the production block with production number “A2” which is the last tsum number. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the rising condition is satisfied, it moves the process to step S552. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that the rising condition is established, the sub CPU 206 advances the process to step S556.

  In step S552, the sub CPU 206 executes a rising eye determination process. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not to shift to the probability variation state based on the variation pattern. That is, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the player's hand displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 is in a special display mode.

  Further, the sub CPU 206 refers to the hand table and the rising table, and the player's rising table has a relatively high value for the rising role and a low value for which the rising role has a relatively low value. Judge whether there is a rising habit. Specifically, there are multiple types of scheduled heels, and these multiple types of scheduled heels are the same as the three colors. It is determined whether or not there is a low-rising habit (low-value symbol, low-value-candidate symbol) that does not become an order. That is, the sub CPU 206 displays a high-rising display mode (a non-special display mode, which is a relatively high-value high-value symbol display mode, particularly, , A predetermined rising combination becomes a relatively high-value display mode), and a low-rising heel display mode (which is included in a non-special display mode) due to the display of a low-rising heel. It is determined whether or not a low-value symbol display mode having a relatively low value, in particular, a reach technique in which a predetermined rising combination becomes a display mode having a relatively low value).

  If the sub CPU 206 determines that there is no high or low eyelash, the sub CPU 206 determines the scheduled upward eyelid as an upward eye regardless of whether or not to shift to the probability variation state. Further, when the sub CPU 206 determines not to shift to the probability change state and determines that there is a high rise and a low rise, the sub CPU 206 sets the low rise as a rise with a probability of “100%”. decide. Further, the sub CPU 206 determines to shift to the probability changing state, and when it is determined that there is a high-rising eyelid and a low-rising eyelash, the sub CPU 206 sets the high-rising eyelash as a rising eye with a probability of “95%”. Decide, with a probability of “5%”, the low-rising heel is determined as a rising heel.

  That is, when the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a special display mode is to be obtained, and when one of a plurality of player's handboards is exchanged for another player, does the sub CPU 206 have a special display mode? Based on the result of the determination as to whether or not, one of the rising edges stored in the rising edge table is selected. In other words, when it is determined that the sub CPU 206 is to be shifted to the probability changing state, the sub CPU 206 determines the high eye-rising wrinkle as a rising hail with a higher probability than when it is determined not to be shifted to the probability changing state.

  In addition, there are cases where the player's hand becomes full with the addition of a high-rising spear to the hand of the player. In this case, the sub CPU 206 has a plurality of types of scheduled uplifts, and the plurality of types of scheduled upsets includes a role full up where a full job is achieved and a non-service full up where a full job is not established. It will be judged whether or not exists. In other words, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a special display mode is obtained when one of the player's handbooks is exchanged with another baseball on the condition that it is determined to shift to the probability changing state. Will be.

  Similarly, in this case as well, if the sub CPU 206 determines that there is no high-rise eyelid and low-upward eyelid, the sub CPU 206 displays the expected upward eyelid regardless of whether or not to shift to the probability change state. Decided as a rising trap. Further, when it is determined that the sub CPU 206 does not shift to the probabilistic state, and it is determined that there is a role full 牌 and a non-completion full 上 が り, the non-CPU full 役 is increased with a probability of “100%”. Decided as 牌. Further, when it is determined that the sub CPU 206 shifts to the probable change state and it is determined that there is a role full 牌 and a non-completion full 牌, the role full 役 is increased with a probability of “95%”. The non-completion heel is determined as a rising heel with a probability of “5%”. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes this process corresponds to an example of a rising symbol selection unit.

  As a result, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 in step S505, step S515, and step S535 perform display control to add the rising amount determined as described above to the player's hand as a result. That is, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S505, step S515, and step S535 and the VDP 212 display a relatively high-value hand-raised hand display mode by displaying a high-handed eyelash, and the value is relatively high. When it is determined that the low-rising hand tile display mode with a relatively low value is displayed by displaying a low-rising low-cost eyelid, the high-rising eyelid is temporarily displayed when it is determined to shift to the probability change state. Control for temporary display is performed. In other words, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 add a relatively high-value high eye-catching so that the rising combination becomes a relatively high-value hand-raised hand display mode, and a relatively low-value low-eye. Indication of adding a high-rising spear to the player's hand when it is determined that the rising hand will be shifted to a probabilistic state when the rising hand becomes a low-rising hand with a relatively low value. Control will be performed. When the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 determine to shift to the probability variation state when there are a plurality of upward defects including a high eye rise and a low eye rise, when it is determined not to transition to the probability variation state With a higher probability, control for temporarily displaying (adding) the high-raised kite as a player's manual is performed. The sub CPU 206 that executes step S552 in the present embodiment corresponds to an example of a rising symbol determination unit and a special display mode determination unit. Further, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 in steps S505, S515, and S535 correspond to an example of a temporary display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S553.

  By controlling in this way, for example, even before the player's hand is temporarily displayed, a special display mode may be re-displayed by temporarily displaying the high-raised bag. High-handed hand display that provides a sense of expectation in a specific display mode and may be re-displayed in a special display mode by temporarily displaying a high-speed screen The expectation to the aspect can be provided, and the interest can be improved dramatically. Furthermore, since the high-rising hand display mode and the low-rising hand display mode can be easily recognized by the rising role, the expectation for the high-rising hand display mode can be further enhanced, The interest can be further improved. In addition, for example, even when the player's hand is temporarily displayed, it is possible to recognize that a special display mode is highly likely to be redisplayed when a high eye-lash is added. Therefore, it is possible to provide a sense of expectation that becomes a specific display mode, and to provide a sense of expectation that is redisplayed in a special display mode by temporarily displaying the high-handed hand display mode. The interest can be improved.

  Further, since the sub CPU 206 stores the previous player's manual in the manual table at any time, the player's manual is displayed in a non-specific display mode when the listening condition (predetermined multiple reach condition) is established ( It was controlled to the multi-reach mode (multi-reach mode), which is a reach manual at the time of listening that may become a normal role, and a reach manual that may become a special display mode (full role) In this case, when the variable display start condition is newly established when the variable display is completed and the variable display is completed, the multiple reach mode variably displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 is continuously controlled.

  In addition, the sub CPU 206 increases the number of shunts in order from the time of serving the player's hand as a reach hand. For this reason, the sub CPU 206 changes the listening information (predetermined multiple reach condition) by changing a part of the result of the variable display of the identification information (player's hand) recorded in the hand table. As a result, the variable display of the liquid crystal display device 32 is changed to the multiple reach mode.

  When the listening condition (predetermined plural reach condition) is satisfied, the sub CPU 206 performs the variable display on the liquid crystal display device 32 by removing one wrinkle from the hand table based on the scheduled winning combination in step S403. It will be changed to 牌. This listening condition is satisfied as one condition that a plurality of variable display of identification information is performed.

  As described above, when a plurality of reach modes that may be a specific display mode or a special display mode are obtained, the multiple reach mode is continued in the next variable display of identification information. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the player with a sense of expectation for a special gaming state. Moreover, since the reach aspect with a high production effect, such as a multiple reach aspect, is displayed in a variable display of the identification information multiple times, it is possible to improve the interest of the game together with the above-mentioned expectation. Furthermore, through the variable display of the identification information multiple times, the identification information variable display mode is partially changed, so that it is finally changed to the multi-reach effect mode. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, since the multiple reach state is continued, the sense of accomplishment is maintained, so that it is possible to maintain the fun of the game. Furthermore, through the variable display of the identification information multiple times, the variable display mode of the identification information can be set to a predetermined reach mode, so that the player can enjoy the process until reaching the reach mode. It is possible to improve the interest of the game. In particular, since the reach mode is achieved through the display of the identification information multiple times, it is possible to improve the interest of the game even in the result of giving the player a sense of achievement. Furthermore, a display mode at a stage more than a certain value among a plurality of types of display modes is set as a special display mode. Therefore, for example, by performing a plurality of variable displays of the variable display means, it becomes a display mode that is gradually higher in value and may eventually be upgraded to a special variable display, which increases the player's expectation. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  In step S553, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a transfer condition (predetermined transfer condition) is satisfied. In this process, the sub CPU 206 is determined to be a big hit, and determines whether or not the transfer condition is satisfied on the basis of whether or not the player's hand is listening. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the transfer condition is satisfied, it moves the process to step S554. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that the transfer condition is satisfied, it moves the process to step S555.

  In step S554, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of changing a predetermined throwing bag to a rising bag. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets the player's rising habit determined in step S552 instead of the habit set as the opponent's abandoned habit. Thereby, in step S515 and step S535, the player's hand has a specific display mode, and a predetermined rising combination is established.

  That is, by executing such processing, in step S515 and step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 determine that the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that becomes a big hit gaming state, and the transfer condition is satisfied. A player throws away one of the rising traps stored in the rising trap table from the opponent's hand, and adds the discarded opponent's discard to the player's reach hand. Display control is performed in which a specific display mode is used. Specifically, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 determine that the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that becomes a big hit gaming state, and if the transfer condition is satisfied, Instead of the traps stored in the crab, discard any of the traps stored in the ramp-up table from the opponent's hand, and the player's reach trap is discarded. In addition to the above, display control is performed in which the player's hand is set in a specific display mode.

  In other words, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 determine that the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that becomes a big hit gaming state with respect to the liquid crystal display device 32. Display control is performed to add any one of the rising notes stored in the player's reach to the player's reach. As a result, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 perform display control in which the player's hand has a specific display mode. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes the above-described steps S515 and S535 and the VDP 212 correspond to an example of a rising display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S556.

  In this way, any one of the player's scheduled rising hand symbol group is determined as the scheduled rising symbol group, and when a predetermined transfer condition is satisfied, a specific display mode is obtained when it is added to the rising possible hand symbol group. A display is made to exclude one of the rising candidate symbols from the opponent's hand symbol group, and by adding the excluded rising candidate symbol to the rising possible hand symbol group, a specific display mode is set. As an opponent exclusion symbol, you can easily control a candidate symbol to be excluded from the opponent's hand symbol group, smooth the game development, and control the game development. In addition, it is possible to suppress inconveniences in gaming such as the removal of hand symbols and the like, and to prevent a decrease in interest.

  In step S555, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of changing a predetermined waste mode to a rising level. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets the player's climb determined in step S552 in place of the player's useless hook set in step S541. Thereby, in step S515 and step S535, the player's hand has a specific display mode, and a predetermined rising combination is established. That is, by executing such processing, in step S515 and step S535, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 determine that the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern in which the big hit gaming state is given to the liquid crystal display device 32. If the rising condition is satisfied, display control is performed to add any one of the rising tiles stored in the rising basket table to the reach reach of the player. As a result, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 perform display control in which the player's hand has a specific display mode. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S515 and step S535 described above and the VDP 212 correspond to an example of a rising display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S556.

  In this way, any one of the scheduled rising hand symbol groups is determined as the scheduled rising symbol group. For example, when a predetermined rising condition is established, the determined scheduled rising symbol pattern group is excluded from the scheduled rising hand symbol group. In a hand group that can be raised, a display control is added to add any of the candidate patterns that can be raised to a specific hand when added to the group of hands that can be raised. Since the hand symbol group is determined, the control of the hand symbol is facilitated, and more stable gaming can be provided. Furthermore, since any one of the ascending candidate symbols is selected based on the result of whether or not the hand symbol group is in a special display mode, it is possible to realize an increase according to the display mode and to improve the interest. be able to.

  In step S556, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an opponent rising condition (predetermined opponent rising condition) is satisfied. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the opponent rising condition is satisfied depending on whether or not the selected effect block is a special effect. If the sub CPU 206 determines that the opponent has risen, it moves the process to step S557. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 206 does not determine that the opponent rising condition has been established, the sub CPU 206 ends the present subroutine.

  In step S557, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of changing a predetermined throw-away kite to an opponent climbing kite. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets one of the bags stored in the opponent's rising hand table instead of the bag set as the opponent's discarded bowl. Thus, in step S505 and step S515, an effect is performed in which the opponent's abandoned trap throws away the other opponent's rising trap. That is, by executing such processing, in step S505 and step S515, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 perform display control for raising the opponent when a predetermined opponent rising condition is satisfied, ie, step Control to display the rising hand of the opponent selected in S411 (the opponent rising hand symbol group consisting of the opponent's hand symbol) is performed. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 that execute step S505 and step S515 described above correspond to an example of an opponent rising display control unit. In this case, the other opponent is raised by the abandonment of the opponent. However, in addition to this, the opponent may be raised. In this case, the sub CPU 206 Sets any of the traps stored in the opponent's rising hand table. As a result, the display control is performed as if the opponent has increased. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In this way, the opponent's hand symbol pattern is selected from the unused symbols that are not yet used so that the opponent's hand symbol group becomes the opponent's opponent's rising hand symbol group that is in a specific display mode, and the predetermined opponent's rising symbol is selected. When the condition is satisfied, the opponent's rising hand symbol group consisting of the selected opponent's hand symbol pattern is displayed, so the opponent's rising hand symbol group is determined in advance, and the opponent's rising hand symbol group is The game can be easily generated, the game can be smoothly developed, the game can be controlled, and the interest can be prevented from being reduced without causing any inconvenience in the game. .

[Abandonment type production processing]
Further, in the sub-control circuit 200, a discarded cocoon type effect process that is different from the command reception process, the layout determination process, and the effect execution process is executed at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which the opponent makes a habit in the mahjong effect). The This discarded pot type effect processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 52, the sub CPU 206 executes a comment effect lottery process (step S471). In this process, the sub CPU 206 extracts a comment effect determination random number value from a command effect determination random number counter positioned in the work RAM 210. Then, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not to execute the comment effect, based on the extracted comment effect determination random value (step S472). If the sub CPU 206 determines that the comment effect is to be executed, it moves the process to step S473. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 206 determines not to execute the comment effect, the sub CPU 206 ends the present subroutine.

  In step S473, the sub CPU 206 executes a waste disposal analysis process. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether the discarded trash (excluded symbols) stored in the discarded trash table in step S537 belongs to any one of a plurality of types of symbols (symbol types). The types of the plurality of types of cocoons may be classified according to the color of the cocoons, such as Mans, Pins, Saws, and 牌, and may be further divided into nineteen-character そ の 他 and others. Then, based on the determined result, the sub CPU 206 determines the ratio to which the discarded basket belongs for each type of basket. Referring to FIG. 15 as a specific example, Mans, Pins, Souze, and character 牌 are classified according to the color of the cocoon. , 牌 牌 belong to the ratio of “10/30”. In this case, Sawz has the lowest ratio. Therefore, although the sub CPU 206 determines the type of the bag having the lowest percentage of the discarded bowls among the plurality of types of baskets, the sub CPU 206 may determine the symbol type having the highest ratio of the discarded bowls. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S473 corresponds to an example of an excluded symbol determination unit and a ratio determination unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S474.

  In step S474, the sub CPU 206 executes a comment effect. In this process, the sub CPU 206 executes an effect corresponding to the result determined in step S473. Referring to FIG. 15 as a specific example, since the ratio of the saw is the smallest, the sub CPU 206 and the VDP 212 cause the liquid crystal display device 32 to display an effect image indicating that the saw is scarcely “Sow is high”. The sub CPU 206 and the sound source IC 232 generate a sound from the speaker 46 saying that “the sound is high” to the extent that the sound is low. Accordingly, the sub-control circuit 200 including the sub CPU 206 executes the effect related to the type of kite to which the proportion of discarded samurai belongs, but may determine the type of kite to which the proportion of discarded kites belongs. . That is, the sub CPU 206, the display control circuit 250, the liquid crystal display device 32, the audio control circuit 230, the speaker 46, and the like that execute step S474 correspond to an example of the excluded symbol effect execution means. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  By performing the control in this way, it is possible to enhance the sense of realism for playing the game and to enhance the interest by executing the effect according to the game situation. In addition, by notifying the lowest symbol type and the highest symbol type of the excluded hand symbol that has been excluded, the player can be alerted and the interest in the game can be improved. .
