Description

  The present invention includes a main control device that performs a determination process such as whether or not to shift to a special game that gives a profitable state advantageous to a player, and a change in a symbol or the like on a display based on the determination content of the main control device. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine having a display control device that performs display control.

The current pachinko gaming machine stops after the identification information such as numbers fluctuates for a predetermined time on the display based on the fact that the game ball flows into the winning opening called the starting winning opening, and the stop identification information is in a predetermined mode (for example, In the case of “777”), a type that shifts to a special game in which a large winning opening that is normally closed is opened under a predetermined condition is the mainstream. It is not an exaggeration to say that this type of pachinko gaming machine is in the display of fluctuation display on the display until the special game transition decision is made. Various ideas have been made (for example, elaborate moving image effects such as super reach and a notice display of characters corresponding to the expected degree of transition to special games). In particular, since the image processing during this change on the display has become more complex recently, matters directly related to the player's interests such as special game transfer decisions and identification information related to special game transfers are not On the other hand, production items that require a large-capacity memory and a high-performance CPU, such as the decorative pattern variation and the notice display that have been devised, are mainly managed on the sub-board side. In this way, roles are divided and distinguished by the presence or absence of profit status.

  Here, the special symbol on the main board side and the decorative symbol on the sub board side are displayed in a variable manner and a stop display while being synchronized in order to avoid confusion of the player. Specifically, when a game ball wins a start winning opening, various random numbers are acquired on the main board side. When the symbol variation start condition is satisfied, the main board determines the stop symbol and variation mode (variation time) of the special symbol, and also includes the stop symbol information, the variation mode information and the stop symbol attribute information {hit symbol Symbol information such as (symbols per probability variation, symbols per normal variation), outlier symbols, etc.} is transmitted to the sub-board side. And the sub-board | substrate side takes the structure which receives the said symbol information and determines the stop symbol and variation aspect of a decoration symbol. Here, especially with respect to winning symbols, in the case of many models, when there are 10 types of winning symbols for special symbols, the winning symbols for decorative symbols also have 10 types of decorative symbols corresponding to this one-to-one. ing. For example, when the sub board receives the specific winning symbol information from the main board, the sub board selects the decorative symbol corresponding to the specific winning symbol.

  However, when such a configuration is adopted, there may be a situation where complicated image processing is performed particularly during the mission. “Mission” refers to the fact that in order to enhance the interest of the game, if a specific command is issued to the player and the command is cleared, a decision to shift to a special game or a transition with high probability can be expected. This is processing performed on the substrate side. As described above, since the process performed on the sub-board side is an effect process, if the winning is determined internally, a variation mode that clears the mission is determined, and on the other hand, it is internally deviated. If it is determined, a variation mode is determined so as not to clear the mission. Here, when the winning is determined internally during the mission, the variation mode for clearing the mission is determined, but for example, “corresponding to the“ winning symbol information ”transmitted from the main board side“ If the “decoration pattern” is different from the decoration pattern that should be displayed to clear the mission, the decoration pattern that should be displayed to clear the mission is displayed once, and then “ It is necessary to perform a process of displaying a “decoration pattern” corresponding to the “design information”. For example, if the winning symbol information transmitted from the main board side is “2” and the corresponding decorative symbol is “222”, when the mission is “Make reach with 4”, first “ After reaching at “4”, it is necessary to perform processing to switch to “222” at a predetermined timing. However, especially when processing on the sub-board side is complicated, when such processing is performed, further increase in memory capacity and CPU performance are required. As a result, pachinko gaming machines There was a problem of increased costs.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the present invention will be described. The “winning” is a concept including anything that can cause any profit state to the player regardless of whether or not the winning ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” in the “first identification information” and the “second identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and examples thereof include numbers, characters, designs, and the like ( For example, the first identification information is a special symbol, and the second identification information is a decorative symbol). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. The “stop display” in the “stop display instruction of at least one component constituting the second identification information” may be a level that can be visually recognized as being stopped, for example, due to fluctuations in other components, Even if the component is displayed with some shaking, it corresponds to “stop display”. `` Attribute '' means a property that is classified from the viewpoint of giving the same profit status.For example, if a stop symbol is classified by attribute, in the case of a winning symbol, a deviating symbol, a winning symbol, It is usually per symbol, per time reduction.

  Moreover, the meaning of each term in this aspect (1-1)-(1-3) is demonstrated. First, “winning” is a concept including everything that can cause a player to have some profit state regardless of whether or not a prize ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols and decorative symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Examples of the “at least one coordinate axis” include 1 coordinate (linear coordinate axis), 2 coordinates (planar coordinate axis), and 3 coordinates (solid coordinate axis). “Based on determining whether to make the object image ready to be displayed based on the game content determination random number” means not only the case where the game content determination random number is used, but also a game The case where it determines based on the stop identification information based on a content determination random number, or a fluctuation | variation aspect is also included. “Depending on the case” means that when the object image position coordinates and / or the display mode of the object image are associated with the object image in advance, it is not necessary to determine them. The “display mode” means, for example, a change in the position and shape of the object image over time. “Reducing the change amount” means, for example, when the display area specific coordinate changing means is operated continuously, the change amount per unit time is reduced, and the display area specific coordinate changing means is not In the case of continuous operation, this means that the amount of change per operation is reduced.

  Moreover, the meaning of each term in this aspect (2-1)-(2-2) is demonstrated. First, “winning” is a concept including everything that can cause a player to have some profit state regardless of whether or not a prize ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols and decorative symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Examples of the “at least one coordinate axis” include 1 coordinate (linear coordinate axis), 2 coordinates (planar coordinate axis), and 3 coordinates (solid coordinate axis). “Based on determining whether to make the object image ready to be displayed based on the game content determination random number” means not only the case where the game content determination random number is used, but also a game The case where it determines based on the stop identification information based on a content determination random number, or a fluctuation | variation aspect is also included. “Depending on the case” means that when the object image position coordinates and / or the display mode of the object image are associated with the object image in advance, it is not necessary to determine them. The “display mode” means, for example, a change in the position and shape of the object image over time.

  Moreover, the meaning of each term in this mode (3-1)-(3-3) is demonstrated. First, “winning” is a concept including everything that can cause a player to have some profit state regardless of whether or not a prize ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols and decorative symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Examples of the “at least one coordinate axis” include 1 coordinate (linear coordinate axis), 2 coordinates (planar coordinate axis), and 3 coordinates (solid coordinate axis). “Based on determining whether to make the object image ready to be displayed based on the game content determination random number” means not only the case where the game content determination random number is used, but also a game The case where it determines based on the stop identification information based on a content determination random number, or a fluctuation | variation aspect is also included. “Depending on the case” means that when the object image position coordinates and / or the display mode of the object image are associated with the object image in advance, it is not necessary to determine them. The “display mode” means, for example, a change in the position and shape of the object image over time.

  In addition, the meaning of each term in the present embodiments (4-1) to (4-3) will be described. First, “at least one coordinate axis” can include, for example, one coordinate (straight coordinate axis), two coordinates (planar coordinate axis), and three coordinates (solid coordinate axis). The “winning” is a concept including anything that can cause any profit state to the player regardless of whether or not the winning ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols and decorative symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. “Based on determining whether to make the object image ready to be displayed based on the game content determination random number” means not only the case where the game content determination random number is used, but also a game The case where it determines based on the stop identification information based on a content determination random number, or a fluctuation | variation aspect is also included. “Depending on the case” means that when the object image position coordinates and / or the display mode of the object image are associated with the object image in advance, it is not necessary to determine them. The “display mode” means, for example, a change in the position and shape of the object image over time.

  Moreover, the meaning of each term in this aspect (5-1)-(5-4) is demonstrated. First, “change the player's profit status” means, for example, when the count value exceeds a predetermined value, transition to the special game state, or when the count value exceeds the predetermined value, transition to the special game And increasing the probability. The “winning” is a concept including anything that can cause any profit state to the player regardless of whether or not the winning ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols and decorative symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other.

  Moreover, the meaning of each term in this aspect (6-1)-(6-3) is demonstrated. First, “winning” is a concept including everything that can cause a player to have some profit state regardless of whether or not a prize ball is paid out, and also includes a so-called “through chucker”. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and includes, for example, numbers, characters, symbols, and the like (for example, special symbols and decorative symbols). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. The “game content determination random number” is a random number for determining any game content in the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the “winning random number” related to the transition of the special game, the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol “Fluctuation mode determination random number” for determining, “Special symbol determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the special symbol, and the like. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other.

  According to the present invention (1), the stop identification information of the second identification information at the time of determining the special game transition is determined based on the attribute of the first identification information, not the stop identification information of the first identification information as in the prior art. Therefore, when an instruction to stop and display at least one component constituting the second identification information is issued, if the attribute of the component and the first identification information is the same, the The one constituent element can be stopped and displayed, and the stop identification information including the one constituent element can be stopped and displayed. As a result, the stop identification information of the second identification information corresponding to the stop identification information of the first identification information is displayed by performing a change again after performing the variation mode according to the content of the command as in the past. This eliminates the need for this, and has the effect of avoiding an increase in memory capacity and performance enhancement of the CPU due to complicated processing.

  According to the present invention (2), in addition to the above-described effect, the stop first identification information is in a predetermined mode at the time of notification of a command (stop display instruction of at least one component constituting the second identification information), and Even when the attribute of the predetermined mode and the attribute of the constituent element are different, stop display according to the attribute of the stop first identification information is possible after following the command, so the stop first identification information and the stop first There is an effect that it is possible to avoid the confusion of the player that may occur based on the difference between the attributes of the two identification information.

  Furthermore, the following effects are added to the effects of the present invention by combining the present invention and the above aspect.

  According to this aspect (1-1), even when a plurality of object images are affixed on the background image map and an object image with a very high expectation level of jackpot is present, the object image is closer to the object. When operated, the display area specific coordinate change suppression means is configured to reduce the change amount of the display area specific coordinates, so that the player can operate in a direction in which the change amount of the display area specific coordinates is not small ( That is, as a result of increasing the possibility of performing an operation in an easy-to-operate direction, the possibility that an object image with a high degree of expectation will be found by a player prior to another object image is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which image processing related to other object images is wasted, and to sufficiently secure pleasure for the player to search the background image map, thereby enhancing the interest of the gaming machine.

  According to the aspect (1-2), in addition to the effect, the change amount is changed according to the type of the object image. For example, the change is detected by the player at the initial stage of the change. In the case of an object image with a very high degree of reliability that is not desirable, it is possible to set the difficulty of finding the object image in stages, such as significantly reducing the amount of change in the display area specific coordinates. There is an effect.

  According to this aspect (1-3), in addition to the above effect, when the distance falls within a predetermined value, the change amount of the display area specific coordinates is reduced. In other words, the distance is less than the predetermined value. Is larger, the change amount of the display area specific coordinates is not reduced, so that it is possible to prevent the player from feeling frustrated by the change amount being reduced even when unnecessary. Has the effect of becoming.

  According to this aspect (2-1), a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map, and when the plurality of object images are found by moving on the background image map, the object images are approached to some extent. It is configured to automatically guide to the object, so that many object images can be found even within a limited time. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which image processing relating to a plurality of object images is not found by the player and is wasted, and it is possible to sufficiently ensure pleasure for the player to search the background image map.

  According to this aspect (2-2), in addition to the effect, the predetermined value can be changed according to the type of the object image. In the case of an object image with low reliability that does not interfere, the predetermined value is set to a large value. Conversely, in the case of a high-reliability object image that is not desirable to be detected by the player at the initial stage of fluctuation. Has an effect that it becomes possible to set in steps the ease of finding / difficulty of finding an object image, such as setting the predetermined value to a large value.

  According to this aspect (3-1), even when a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map and there is an object image with a very high expectation degree of jackpot, the direction is different from that of the object. As a result, the player is more likely to perform an operation in a direction different from the object image having a very high expectation level for jackpots. The possibility of being discovered by the player prior to the object image is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which image processing relating to other object images is wasted and to sufficiently ensure the pleasure of allowing the player to search the background image map.

  According to this aspect (3-2), in addition to the above effect, when there is no object image with high jackpot reliability, the first parameter related to the jackpot reliability is based on the second parameter that is not corrected. While the navigation display is determined, if there is an object image having a high jackpot reliability, the navigation display is determined based on the second parameter obtained by correcting the first parameter related to the jackpot reliability. Therefore, when there is no object image with high jackpot reliability, the correct navigation display is performed, so that the player can be satisfied, and when there is an object image with high jackpot reliability, a false As a result of the navigation display, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid a risk that the object image is found in the initial stage of the variable display.

  According to this aspect (3-3), in addition to the above-described effect, when a highly reliable object image exists, a false navigation display is performed based on the second parameter, while the object image is found. In this case, since the correct information regarding the special game transition degree is displayed based on the first parameter, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the player feels untrustworthy as compared with the case of continuing to fake to the end. .

  According to this aspect (4-1), the movable object image coordinate intrusion prohibiting unit is provided for prohibiting the entry of the movable object image coordinates into any one of the plurality of sections when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Therefore, by giving a range to the contents of the predetermined condition, there is an effect that it is possible to construct a pachinko gaming machine with high interest that has never been seen. For example, a quiz is performed in a section where a movable object image exists, and if the answer is correct, the section is discolored and entry is prohibited. This makes it possible to design pachinko machines that are extremely interesting.

  According to this aspect (4-2), in addition to the above effects, a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map, and when the plurality of object images are found by moving on the background image map, Since it is configured not to enter a place where no object image exists or where the object image has already been found, a large number of object images can be found even within a limited time. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation where image processing relating to a plurality of object images is wasted, and to have an effect that it is possible to sufficiently ensure pleasure for the player to search the background image map.

  According to this aspect (4-3), in addition to the above-described effect, the movable object image coordinates are automatically moved to a section where entry is not prohibited by the movable object image coordinate entry prohibiting means. In the limited time, there is an effect that the search can be efficiently performed in a number of sections that are not prohibited.

  According to this aspect (5-1), when the effective time method and the subtraction time method are combined, when the effective time is short or the subtraction time is frequently visited, that is, continuous operation is performed. Even if the count value is difficult to increase, the player expects that the state will change sequentially and that the count value will likely increase soon after the state ends. Even in such a situation, there is an effect that it is possible to allow the player to perform continuous operation for all the predetermined time.

  According to this aspect (5-2), when the effective time method and the subtraction time method are combined, when the effective time is short or the subtraction time is frequently visited, that is, continuous operation is performed. However, even when the count value is difficult to increase, the player expects that the state is a part of the predetermined time, and that when the state ends, a state where the count value tends to increase may come soon. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to allow the player to perform a continuous operation for all the predetermined time in any situation.

  According to the present aspect (5-3), in addition to the above-described effects, since the profit state changing means for changing the profit state of the player is provided, the incentive for allowing the player to perform continuous operation is further provided. As a result, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the pachinko machine.

  According to this aspect (5-4), in addition to the above effects, it is an exaggeration to say that the player is paying the most attention during the game and determines the value of the gaming machine, which is the conventional type 1 and type 3. However, it is possible to give a higher incentive to allow the player to perform a continuous operation, thereby further enhancing the interest of the pachinko gaming machine. There is an effect that it becomes possible.

  According to this mode (6-1), since the change of the identification information is resumed immediately after the mission content is determined, the player determines the time until the expiration after the player determines the mission content, the boring time. There is an effect that it is possible to solve the problem of having to spend time. Furthermore, since the existing variation mode data is processed and the processing locations of all the variation mode data are configured to be the same, a large number of moving image data relating to the variation mode corresponding to the remaining time of the variation mode is prepared. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid the problem of an increase in memory consumption based on changing the processing location of the existing variation mode data.

  According to this mode (6-2), in addition to the above-described effects, the selected variation mode moving image part data is the same as the remaining time or shorter than the remaining time and is the most in the remaining time. Since the variation mode moving image part data corresponds to the remaining remaining time, there is an effect that the waiting time until the variation mode of the part data is started is shortened.

  According to this mode (6-3), in addition to the above-described effects, one or a plurality of the predetermined times serving as the boundaries exist. Therefore, in particular, when there are a plurality of locations, selectable variation mode moving image part data This increases the selection and widens the selection.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. It should be noted that this is the best mode, and the pachinko machine to which the present invention can be applied, the location and function of each means, the order of each step regarding various processing, the timing of flag on / off, the processing of each step The name of the means that bears is not limited to the following modes.

Then, when the conditions for each process are satisfied, the process is performed. When the conditions are not satisfied, the process is skipped. When the outline of each process is described (except for the processes detailed below), the prize ball payout process 600 is awarded to one of the prize winning holes (starting prize opening, big prize winning opening, etc.) related to the prize ball payout. In this case, the prize ball payout control means 150 issues a payout instruction to the prize ball payout apparatus 18, and in response to this, the prize ball payout apparatus 18 pays out the prize balls for the number of instructions. It is. The first type special game determination random number acquisition process 300 will be described in detail below. In the process of the best mode, when a transition is made to another process in the middle of a certain process (a situation where it has not been finished) and it is necessary to return to the middle of the process after the other process is finished, In order to ensure that the process returns to the middle of the process again after the other process ends, for example, there is a step of generating a flag when the process is shifted from the middle of the process to the other process. However, since the flowchart becomes complicated, in the following flowchart, such a step is omitted in some cases.

  First, the first type special game determination random number acquisition process 300 performed on the main controller 100 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, at step 302, the start winning opening winning determination means 111 determines whether or not the start winning opening 11 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 302, in step 304, the random number acquisition determination execution means 112 refers to the hold information storage means 113a and determines whether or not the number of hold balls is not the upper limit (for example, 4). In the case of Yes in step 304, in step 306, the random number acquisition determination execution means 112 acquires a game content determination random number (winning random number, variation mode determination random number, special symbol determination random number, etc.), and the hold information storage determination execution means 113 Then, the random number is set in the hold information storage means 113a together with information on how many pieces are held, and the process proceeds to the next process (first type special game transfer determination / special symbol display process 400). In the case of No in step 302 and step 304, the process proceeds to the next process (first type special game transition determination / special symbol display process 400).

  Next, the first type special game transition determination / special symbol display processing 400 performed on the main controller 100 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 402, the special game transition determining unit 110 determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 402, in step 404, the symbol content determination means 114 determines a stop symbol related to the special symbol based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the special symbol determination random number), and the game content determination random number. Based on (for example, a winning random number and a variation mode determination random number), the variation mode (variation time) of the special symbol is determined. Next, in step 406, the information transmission means 130 transmits the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 404 to the display control apparatus 1000 side. Next, in step 408, the symbol variation time management unit 121 sets a predetermined time (the symbol variation time determined by the symbol content determination unit 114) in the timer 121a. Next, in step 410, the special symbol display control means 120 starts the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display unit 14a in accordance with the variation mode determined by the symbol content determination unit 114. In step 412, the symbol variation time management unit 121 determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 412, in step 414, the information transmission unit 130 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the display control apparatus 1000 side. Next, in step 416, the special symbol display control means 120 stops the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display unit 14a, and displays the stop symbol determined by the symbol content determination means 114 as the fixed stop symbol. Control. Next, in step 418, the special game transition determining means 110 determines whether or not the special symbol stopped on the special symbol display unit 14a is in a specific mode (winning). At 420, the first type special game execution flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (first type special game execution process 500). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 402, in step 422, the special game transition determining unit 110 determines whether or not the special symbol is changing. If Yes in step 422, the process proceeds to step 412. In addition, also when it is No in step 412 and step 422, it transfers to the following process (1st type special game execution process 500).

If YES in step 508, the process proceeds to step 510. Note that, in the case of No in step 508, the special game transition determination execution unit 140 determines that the special game permission has not been granted and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 600).

  Next, in step 510, the special game transition determination execution means 140 determines whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. If Yes in step 510, that is, if the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 522 without performing the processing of steps 512 to 520 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 510, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 512, the special game transition determination execution means 140 clears the timer to zero and sets a predetermined value (for example, 30 seconds). Next, in step 514, the special game transition determination execution means 140 clears the winning ball counter to zero. In step 516, the special game transition determination execution means 140 adds 1 to the round number counter. Note that the number of rounds stored in the round number counter is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time the rounds are repeated thereafter. Next, in step 518, the special game transition determination execution means 140 turns on the round continuation flag. In step 520, the special game transition determination execution means 140 drives the solenoid of the special winning opening 12 to open the special winning opening 12, and proceeds to step 522.

  Next, in step 522, the special game transition determination execution means 140 refers to the winning ball counter to determine whether or not there are predetermined balls (for example, 10 balls) in the round. If “Yes” in step 522, the process proceeds to step 526. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 522, in step 524, the special game transition determination execution unit 140 refers to the timer to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Also in the case of Yes in step 524, the process proceeds to step 526, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 600).

  Next, in step 526, the special game transition determination execution means 140 stops driving the solenoid and closes the special winning opening 12. In step 528, the special game transition determination execution means 140 turns off the round continuation flag. Next, in step 530, the special game transition determination execution unit 140 refers to the round number counter and determines whether the round is the final round. In the case of Yes in step 530, in step 532, the special game transition determination execution means 140 turns off the first type special game execution continuation flag, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 600). In the case of No in step 524 and step 530, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 600).

  Next, the decorative symbol display control process 1000 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 1002, the decorative symbol display control means 1300 determines whether or not the decorative symbol changing flag is off, that is, whether or not the decorative symbol is currently changing. In the case of Yes in step 1002, in step 1004, the decorative symbol display control means 1300 determines whether or not the display information receiving means 1100 has received symbol information from the main controller 100 side. In the case of Yes in step 1004, in step 1008, the decorative symbol display control means 1300 turns on the decorative symbol changing flag. Next, in step 1010, the mission effect display control unit 1430 determines whether the mission flag is on, that is, whether the current mission is in progress. Here, in the case of No in step 1010, in step 1028, the decorative symbol display content determination means 1310 changes based on the symbol information from the main control device 100 temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage means 1110. With reference to the mode determination table 1311, the decorative pattern change mode and stop pattern are determined, and the process proceeds to Step 1030. On the other hand, if Yes in step 1010, that is, if the mission flag is on, in step 1012, the mission effect number management means 1434 decrements the counter value of the counter 1434a by one. In step 1014, mission effect display control means 1430 determines whether or not the counter value of counter 1434a is zero.

Based on the symbol information from 100, refer to the variation mode determination table 1311 to determine the variation mode and stop symbol of the decorative symbol (however, regarding the variation mode, select a mode other than the reach mode in the mission symbol) To step 1030. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1018, that is, in the case where the change is a hit in the mission, in step 1020, the symbol attribute matching confirmation means 1323 has the attribute of the mission symbol, that is, the symbol for which the reach is requested in the mission. It is determined whether or not the attribute and the jackpot attribute, that is, the attribute of the special symbol hit stop symbol from the main control device 100 side temporarily stored in the main side information temporary storage unit 1110 is the same. In the case of Yes in step 1020, in step 1024, the jackpot decoration symbol display content determination means 1320 selects the reach manner in the mission symbol as the variation manner and selects the stop symbol in which the mission symbols are aligned as the stop ornament symbol. Then, the process proceeds to step 1030. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1020, in step 1022, the jackpot decoration symbol display content determination means 1320 selects the reach mode in the mission symbol as the variation mode, and stops the attribute of the winning symbol attribute as the stop decoration symbol And go to Step 1030. In the case of No in step 1014, the process proceeds to step 1018.

In the case of No in step 2104, the navigation display content determination means 1412b sets the display content to “...” Or no display in step 2112 and proceeds to the next processing (step 1110).

  Next, the telescope position determination process 2200 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this process, a movement prohibition range setting process 3100 for prohibiting re-entry into a section where no preview image exists or a section where all existing preview images are found, and the distance between the current position and each preview image are sequentially calculated. The notice image distance calculation process 3200 to be performed and the telescope position change process 3300 for changing the position of the telescope based on the operation of the cross lever 17 by the player are performed, and the process proceeds to the next process (reconnaissance image display process 2300). Hereinafter, these processes will be described in detail.

First, the movement prohibition range setting process 3100 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 3102, the movement prohibition range control unit 1413 a sets n = 1 as an initial value in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. Next, in Step 3104, the movement prohibition range control unit 1413a refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a to determine whether or not a preview image exists in the first section. In the case of Yes in step 3104, in step 3106, the movement prohibition range control unit 1413a refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a to determine whether or not at least one of the preview images in the first section has not been found. In other words, it is determined whether or not there is a preview image in which the preview image discovery flag (HF ₁ flag) indicating that it has not been found exists. If Yes in step 3106, the process proceeds to step 3108. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3104 and step 3106, that is, in the case where there is no notice in the first section or all the notices that exist are found, in step 3112, the movement prohibition range control means 1413a The first section pre-entry prohibition flag (PKF ₁ flag) is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 3108.

  In step 3108, the movement prohibition range control unit 1413a refers to the buffer and determines whether n = 9. In the case of Yes in step 3108, the process proceeds to the next process (notice image distance calculation process 3200). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3108, in step 3110, the movement prohibition range control means 1413a adds 1 to n stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 3104. Thereafter, the same processing is repeated from n to 2 to 9, that is, from the second section to the ninth section.

Next, the preview image distance calculation process 3200 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 3202, the preview image distance calculation unit 1413b acquires the current telescope position information (X, Y) temporarily stored in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a. Next, in step 3204, the preview image distance calculating unit 1413b sets p = 1 in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. In step 3206, the preview image distance calculation unit 1413b acquires the gravity center position information (x, y) of the first preview image temporarily stored in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a. Next, in step 3208, the notice image distance calculating unit 1413b determines the distance D ₁ (= √ ((X−x) ² + (Y−y) from the current position of the telescope to the center of gravity of the first notice image. ) ² ) is calculated, and the process proceeds to Step 3210.

Next, in step 3210 and subsequent steps, if the first notice image has not yet been discovered, it has approached a predetermined distance, and further, whether the notice image is highly reliable. From the viewpoint, processing for generating various flags is performed when applicable. Specifically, first, in step 3210, the telescope position change control unit 1413c determines whether or not the first notice image discovery flag (HF ₁ flag) is off, that is, the notice image is still found. Determine whether or not. If Yes at step 3210, in step 3212, the telescope automatic movement display determination unit _{1413c 1-1,} the distance _{D 1} is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Here, in the case of No in step 3212, that is, when the distance between the telescope and the first notice image is less than a predetermined value (for example, 3), in step 3222, the telescope auto movement display determination unit 1413c _1-1. Turns on the first notice image direction automatic movement flag (AF ₁ flag), and proceeds to the next process (telescope position change process 3300). Here, when the AF ₁ flag is turned on, the position of the telescope is rewritten to the position of the center of gravity of the first preview image (step 3306) in the process described later (telescope position change process 3300). The user is forced to move to the notice image without the user's operation. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 3212, i.e., when the distance _{D 1} is ₁ is not less than a predetermined value, in step 3214, the telescope movement restraining determination unit _{1413c 1-2} is the reliability of the first-th notice images predetermined value It is determined whether it is above. If Yes at step 3214, in step 3216, the telescope movement restraining determination unit _{1413c 1-2,} the distance _{D 1} is equal to or less than a predetermined value (e.g., 5). In the case of Yes in step 3126, in step 3218, the telescope movement suppression determination unit 1413c _1-2 turns on the first notice image direction movement suppression flag (YF ₁ flag), and proceeds to step 3220. Here, when the YF ₁ flag is turned on, in a later-described process (telescope position change process 3300), when the player performs an operation such that the position of the telescope approaches the first preview image, the player moves in that direction. The movement of the telescope is suppressed more than usual (step 3314). In the case of No in step 3210, step 3214, and step 3216, the process proceeds to step 3220.

Next, in step 3220, the preview image distance calculation unit 1413b refers to the buffer and determines whether p = p _fin is satisfied, that is, whether the above processing has been performed for all the previews. In the case of Yes in step 3220, the process proceeds to the next process (telescope position change process 3300). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3220, in step 3224, the preview image distance calculation unit 1413b adds 1 to p stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 3206. Thereafter, the same processing is repeated from p to 2 to p _fin , that is, from the second notice to the last notice.

Next, the telescope position changing process 3300 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 3302, the telescope auto movement display determination unit 1413c _1-1 determines whether or not the notice image direction auto movement flag (AF _p flag) is off for all the notice images. First, in the case of No in step 3302, that is, when any AF _p flag is on, in step 3306, the telescope auto movement display determination unit 1413 c _1-1 is a reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit. Referring to 1415a, the current telescope position information is rewritten to the barycentric coordinates of the notice image whose flag is on. In step 3308 and step 3310, the telescope auto movement display determination unit 1413c _1-1 turns off the AF _p flag relating to the advance notice image, and the movement prohibition range control means 1413a detects the advance image relating to the advance notice image. The flag (HF _p flag) is turned on, and the process proceeds to the next process (reconnaissance image display process 2300).

On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 3302, the telescope position change control unit 1413 c determines whether or not the player has operated the cross lever 17. In the case of Yes in step 3304, the telescope movement suppression determination unit 1413c _1-2 refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a, and there is a preview image in which the notification image direction movement suppression flag (YF _p flag) is on. When the notice image exists, it is determined whether or not the operation by the player is performed in a direction in which the distance to the notice image is reduced. In the case of Yes in step 3312, in step 3314, the telescope movement suppression determination unit 1413 c _1-2 is based on the operation direction, and the telescope position information (XY coordinates) temporarily stored in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415 a. 1 is added to or subtracted from 1), and the process proceeds to Step 3322.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3312, that is, even if there is no notice image with the notice image direction movement suppression flag (YF _p flag) turned on, or even if the notice image exists, the operation by the player is not performed. If the distance to the preview image is not reduced, the telescope position change determination unit 1413c ₁ intrudes into the section where the intrusion prohibition flag is turned on by the operation in step 3316. Determine whether or not. If Yes in step 3316, the telescope position change determination unit 1413 c ₁ ignores the operation and proceeds to step 3322 in step 3320. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3316, in step 3318, the telescope movement suppression determination unit 1413c _1-2 is based on the operation direction, and the telescope position temporarily stored in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a. 2 is added to or subtracted from the information (XY coordinates), and the procedure goes to Step 3322.

Next, Step 3322 and Step 3324 are processing in the case where it is no longer necessary to enter the section before the movement because there is no undiscovered notice as a result of the movement process. Specifically, in step 3322, the movement prohibition range determination means 1413a ₁ determines whether or not the pre-intrusion prohibition flag (PKF _n flag) is on before update and whether or not the partition is updated after update. To do. Here, the pre-invasion prohibition flag is a flag that is generated when a notice image does not exist in the section or when all existing notice images are found (see step 3112). If Yes at step 3322, in step 3324, movement inhibition range control unit 1413a is forbidden entry flag related to the partitioning (KF _n flag) is turned on, the process proceeds to step 3326. Here, when the intrusion prohibition flag is turned on, it is not possible to enter the section where the flag is on (see step 3320). In the case of No in step 3322, the process proceeds to step 3326.

Next, Steps 3326 to 3332 are processes when the moving process has entered a section where no undiscovered notice exists. Specifically, in step 3326, the telescope forced movement determination unit 1413c _1-3 refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a, and the pre-entry prohibition flag (PKF _n flag) relating to the updated section is turned on. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 3326, in step 3328, the telescope forced movement determination unit 1413c _1-3 refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a and determines whether or not there is a partition whose PKFn flag is off. To do. In the case of Yes in step 3328, in step 3330, the telescope forced movement determination unit 1413c _1-3 determines one section from the sections in which the PKF _n flag is off by lottery, and the telescope is arranged in the section. Thus, the telescope position information temporarily stored in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage means 1415a is rewritten (forced movement). In step 3332, the movement prohibition range control unit 1413 a turns on the intrusion prohibition flag (KF _n flag) related to the section before forced movement, and proceeds to the next process (reconnaissance image display process 2300). In addition, also in the case of No in step 3326 and step 3328, the process proceeds to the next process (reconnaissance image display process 2300).

Next, the reconnaissance image display processing 2300 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 2302, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 stores the predetermined background image and the determined advance notice image (see step 1108) from the reconnaissance reach image information storage means 1415b while referring to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage means 1415a. Read up. Here, not all images developed on the memory are displayed on the decorative symbol display unit 14b, and are displayed only within a predetermined range from the telescope position. The reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 temporarily stores p = 1 in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. Next, in step 2306, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 determines whether the notice image discovery flag (HP ₁ flag) relating to the first notice image is on, that is, whether the first notice image has already been discovered. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 2306, first, in step 2308, the preview image point acquisition unit 1414 refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage unit 1415a and acquires and stores the points allocated to the first preview image. Next, in step 2310, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 expands a “re” mark on the first notice image indicating that the notice image has already been found on the memory, and proceeds to step 2312. To do. Note that if the result of Step 2306 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2312.

Next, in step 2312, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 refers to the buffer and determines whether p = p _fin, that is, whether the above processing has been performed for all the advance notices. If Yes in step 2312, the process proceeds to step 2316. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2312, in step 2314, the reconnaissance reach effect display control unit 1410 adds 1 to p stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 2306. Thereafter, the same processing is repeated from p to 2 to p _fin , that is, from the second notice to the last notice.

Next, in step 2316, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 expands the navigation content determined in the navigation content determination processing 2100 (particularly, steps 2108 to 2112) to a predetermined position in the memory. Next, in step 2318, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 temporarily stores n = 1 in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. In step 2320, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 determines whether or not an intrusion prohibition flag (KF ₁ flag) for prohibiting intrusion into the first section is on. In the case of Yes in Step 2320, in Step 2322, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 performs the black and white processing on the first section developed on the memory, and proceeds to Step 2324. Note that if the result in Step 2320 is No, the process proceeds to Step 2324.

  Next, in step 2324, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 refers to the buffer and determines whether n = 9. If Yes in step 2324, the process proceeds to step 2326. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2324, in step 2332, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 adds 1 to n stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 2320. Thereafter, the same processing is repeated from n to 2 to 9, that is, from the second section to the ninth section.

  Next, in step 2326, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 refers to the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage means 1415a, and acquires the current telescope position information. In step 2328, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 displays a predetermined range centered on the acquired position information on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. Next, in step 2330, the reconnaissance reach effect display control means 1410 sums the points allocated to the notice images found so far (the points have already been acquired in step 2308) and displays the total value on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. And the process proceeds to the next process (step 1114).

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the 100-person kill reach process 1200 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described in detail. First, in step 1202, the 100-person slash effect content determining unit 1421 determines whether or not the 100-person slash effect content determining flag is off, that is, whether or not the 100-person slash effect content is currently being determined. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the 100-person slash effect production determination unit 1421 determines whether the 100-person slash effect execution flag is off, that is, whether or not the 100-person slash effect execution is currently being executed. . In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the 100 person slash reach content determining means 1421 turns on the 100 person slash effect content determining flag. Next, in step 1208, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 refers to the symbol information from the main control device 100 temporarily stored in the main-side information temporary storage unit 1110, and the symbol variation ( It is determined whether or not (stop symbol) is per probability variation (symbol per probability variation). In the case of Yes in step 1208, in step 1210, the 100-person slash reach production content determination means 1421 determines the “number of people that can be cut” with an upper limit of 110 by lottery, and proceeds to step 1214. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1208, in step 1212, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 determines the “number of people that can be cut” with an upper limit of 99 by lottery, and proceeds to step 1214. If No in step 1202, the process proceeds to step 1220.

Next, in step 1214, the 100-slashing effect content determination means 1421 divides the number of people that can be cut in step 1210 or step 1212 into three (after the first to third allocation), and then slashes. number management means 1423 stores temporarily Zan number upper limit value temporary storage unit 1423a _1. Here, the “number of people that can be cut” is the maximum number of people that can be cut by a player operating a button. That is, no matter how many button operations the player performs, the “number of people that can be cut” is not exceeded. Next, in step 4100 (see FIG. 19), which will be described later, an increase rate determination process for determining the difficulty of increasing the indicator based on the button operation is performed. Next, in step 1216, the 100 person slash reach production time management means 1425 starts the timer 1425a. The timer 1425a keeps timing while the 100-person slash reach effect is being performed. Specifically, the first battle start time and end time, the second battle start time and end time, the third battle start time and end time, the start time and end time of stage A or stage B described later are counted. . Next, in step 1218, the 100-person slash reach display control means 1420 sets n = 1 as an initial value in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. Here, “n” indicates the current number of battle continuations. Next, in step 1220, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 determines whether or not the initial battle continuation flag is off. In the case of Yes in Step 1220, in Step 1222, the 100 person slash reach production time management means 1425 refers to the timer 1425a and determines whether or not the first battle start time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1222, in step 1224, the 100-person slash reach production content determination means 1421 turns on the initial battle continuation flag. Next, in step 1226, the 100-person slash reach production content determination means 1421 converts the _first “number of slashable persons” temporarily stored in the slash-number upper limit temporary storage means 1423a ₁ into C _lim (count value). Then, the count value upper limit value temporary storage means 1423a ₂ is temporarily stored. Then, in step 1228, the reach effect determining unit 1421 Zan 100 people temporarily stores the "0" to the count value result temporary storage unit 1423b _2. Next, in step 1230, the 100-person slash reach display control unit 1420 displays a button operation instruction on the decorative symbol display unit 14b, and proceeds to step 1232. Note that if the result is No in Step 1220, the process proceeds to Step 1232. Further, in the case of No in step 1222, the process proceeds to the next process (step 1042).

Next, in step 1232, the button operation input value control unit 1422 refers to the increase rate pattern temporary storage unit 1425 b and the timer 1425 a and determines whether or not the button operation has been performed within the valid time. If Yes in step 1232, in step 1234, the button operation input value control unit 1422 stores the count value (result) temporarily stored in the count value result temporary storage unit 1423 b ₂ in the count value upper limit temporary storage unit 1423 a ₂ . It is determined whether or not the count value (upper limit) is temporarily stored. If Yes in step 1234, the button operation input value control unit 1422 adds 1 to the count value (result) temporarily stored in the count value result temporary storage unit 1423 b ₂ in step 1236, and the process proceeds to step 1238. If No in step 1232, that is, if there is a button operation during the invalid time, the process proceeds to step 1238 (that is, the button operation is ignored). Further, in the case of No in step 1234, i.e., the count value result temporary storage unit 1423b ₂ to temporarily stored count value has (result) count upper limit value temporary storage section 1423a ₂ to temporarily stored count value has (upper ), The process proceeds to step 1238 (that is, the button operation is ignored).

Next, in step 1238, the 100-person slash reach production time management unit 1425 refers to the increase rate pattern temporary storage unit 1425b and the timer 1425a, and determines whether or not the subtraction time has been reached. If Yes at step 1238, in step 1240, a button operation input value control unit 1422, the count value result temporary storage unit 1423b ₂ to temporarily stored count value has a Results 5 subtracts (However, by subtracting The process proceeds to step 1242. Note that if the answer is No in Step 1238, the process proceeds to Step 1242.

Next, in step 1242, reach effect display control unit 1420 Zan 100 people carries an indicator display corresponding to the count value result temporary storage unit 1423b ₂ to temporarily stored count value has (Results). Next, in step 1244, the 100 person slash reach production time management unit 1425 refers to the timer 1425a and determines whether or not the first battle end time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1244, in step 1246, the 100 person slash reach production content determination means 1421 turns off the initial battle continuation flag. Next, in step 1248, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 converts the initial count value (result) temporarily stored in the slash-number upper limit value temporary storage unit 1423 a ₁ to “number of slashers”. The number-of-cutting results temporary storage means 1423b ₁ is temporarily stored. Next, in step 1250, the 100-person slash reach production display control unit 1420 displays the “number of slashers” converted in step 1248. Here, the process related to the first battle ends. If No in step 1244, the process proceeds to the next process (step 1042).

  Next, in step 1252, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 refers to the buffer and determines whether n = 3. Here, in the case of No in step 1252, in step 1260, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 adds 1 to n stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 1220. In this way, the processing relating to the second and third battles is repeated.

On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1252, that is, when the first to third battle processes have been completed, in step 1254, the 100-person slash reach content determining means 1421 turns off the 100-player slash effect content determining flag. To. This completes all battle processes. And after that, based on the result in the battle process, the content of the effect to be executed in the remaining time of the symbol variation is determined and the process of executing the effect content is performed. First, in step 1256, the reach effect determining unit 1421 Zan 100 people, with reference to Zan number results temporary storage means 1423b _1, to calculate the total (three times) of the "slash number of people." Next, in step 1258, the 100-person slash reach display control unit 1420 displays the total (three times) of the “number of people slashed” calculated in step 1256 on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. Next, in step 1262, the 100-person slash reach production result determination unit 1424 determines whether the total (three times) of the “number of slashers” calculated in step 1256 is 100 or more. In the case of Yes in step 1262, the 100 person slash reach production content determination means 1421 selects the production A in step 1264 and proceeds to step 1268. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1262, in step 1266, the 100-person slash reach production content determination unit 1421 selects the production B and proceeds to step 1268. In step 1268, the 100-person slash reach content determination unit 1421 turns on the 100-person slash effect execution flag.

  Next, in step 1270, the 100 person slash reach production time management unit 1425 refers to the timer 1425a and determines whether or not the 100 person slash production start time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1270, in step 1276, the 100-person slash reach display control unit 1420 turns on the 100-person slash effect standby flag and waits until the start time is reached (the process proceeds to step 1042). ). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1270, in step 1272, the 100 person slash reach display control means 1420 turns off the 100 person slash effect stand-by flag. Next, in Step 1274, the 100-person slash reach display control means 1420 starts the effect (A or B) selected in Step 1264 or Step 1266. Next, at step 1280, the 100-person killing effect time management means 1425 refers to the timer 1425a and determines whether or not the 100-person killing effect end time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1280, in step 1282, the 100 person slash reach display control means 1420 turns off the 100 person slash effect execution flag. Next, in step 1284, the special variation mode control means 1400 turns off the special variation mode processing B flag, and proceeds to the next processing (step 1042). It should be noted that if the result of step 1280 is No, the process proceeds to the next process (step 1042).

  In the case of No in step 1204, the process proceeds to step 1278. In step 1278, the 100-person slash reach display control unit 1420 determines whether or not the 100-person slash effect stand-by flag is off. Migrate to

Next, the increase rate determination process 4100 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 4102, the button operation input value increase rate determination means 1422 a sets n = 1 as an initial value in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. Next, in step 4104, time division means 1422a ₁ determines the number of divided parts of the first battle a (k). Next, in step 4106, the button operation input value increase rate determination means 1422a sets k = 1 as an initial value in a buffer not shown in the block diagram. Next, in step 4108, the count value subtraction determination unit 1422a ₂ and the valid time determination unit 1422a ₃ refer to the count value subtraction determination table 1422a _2-1 and the valid time determination table 1422a _3-1 , respectively, in the first part. “Button effective timing pattern” and “forced decrease timing pattern” are determined respectively. Such a process is performed from the second part to the last part, and a process of determining a “button effective timing pattern” and a “forced decrease timing pattern” is performed for each part.

In step 4110, the button operation input value increase rate determination unit 1422a refers to the buffer and determines whether k = k _fin . In the case of Yes in step 4110, that is, when “button valid timing pattern” and “forced decrease timing pattern” are determined for the number of all divided parts in the first time, in step 4112, the buffer is referred to and n = 3 That is, it is determined whether the same processing is performed for the second time and the third time. If Yes in step 4112, the process proceeds to the next process (step 1216). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 4110, in step 4114, the button operation input value increase rate determination means 1422a adds 1 to k stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 4108. If NO in step 4112, in step 4116, the button operation input value increase rate determination unit 1422 a adds 1 to n stored in the buffer, and proceeds to step 4104.

  Next, the mission process 1300 performed on the display control apparatus 1000 side according to the best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 1302, the mission effect display control means 1430 determines whether or not the mission process continuation flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1302, in step 1304, the mission effect display control means 1430 turns on the mission process continuation flag. Next, in step 1306, the mission effect number management means 1434 sets “20” as the mission effect number in the counter 1434a. In step 1308, the mission effect content determination unit 1431 determines mission A and mission B. Next, in step 1310, the mission effect time management means 1435 sets a predetermined time (time related to mission processing) in the timer 1435a and starts the timer. Next, in step 1312, the mission effect display control means 1430 performs mission selection instruction display on the decorative symbol display unit 14b in a state where the missions (A and B) determined in step 1308 are hidden, and then in step 1314. Transition. Note that if the answer is No in step 1302, the process proceeds to step 1314.

  Next, in step 1314, the mission effect content determination unit 1431 determines whether or not there is a button input. In the case of Yes in step 1314, in step 1316, the mission effect content determination unit 1431 sets the mission content in the mission effect content temporary storage unit 1433, and the mission effect display control unit 1430 displays the mission content in the decorative symbol display unit. 14b is displayed on the screen 14b for a moment, and the process proceeds to Step 1322. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1314, in step 1318, the mission effect time management unit 1435 refers to the timer 1435a and determines whether or not the time is up. In the case of Yes in step 1318, in step 1320, the mission effect content determination means 1431 sets the mission content determined in the lottery in the mission effect content temporary storage means 1433, and the mission effect display control means 1430 determines the mission content. Is displayed on the decorative symbol display unit 14b, and the process proceeds to step 1322.

Next, in step 1322, the fluctuation remaining time calculation unit 1432a refers to the timer 1435a and calculates the remaining fluctuation time (T _R ) in the symbol fluctuation time related to the suspension. Next, in step 1324, the fit variation mode selection unit 1432 b refers to the fit variation mode lottery table 1432 b ₁ based on the remaining variation time (T _R ) calculated in step 1322. The variation mode part to be fitted is selected by lottery. In step 1326, the mission effect display control means 1430 starts the variation display of the variation mode part selected in step 1324 on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. Next, in step 1328 and step 1330, the mission effect display control means 1430 turns off the mission processing continuation flag and turns on the mission flag. In step 1332, the special variation mode control unit 1400 turns off the specific variation mode process C flag, and proceeds to the next process (step 1042). Note that if the answer is No in step 1318, the process proceeds to the next process (step 1042).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a general operation will be described with reference to FIG. When the player operates the handle 10, a hitting ball launching device (not shown) hits the game ball introduced from the upper plate, and as a result, the game ball is released to the game area 1. Then, it flows down while colliding with an obstacle such as a nail or a windmill, and reaches one of the winning opening or the out opening 20. Below, the various display contents especially on the decorative design display part 14 when the game ball wins the start winning opening 11 will be described in detail.

Reconnaissance reach (first action)
In the reconnaissance reach, the player operates the cross lever 17 to move the telescope displayed on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. When the notice image is found by this operation, points corresponding to the notice image can be acquired, and the total points of the notice image found within the specified time become parameter values that are directly linked to the jackpot expectation. For example, when the total number of points reaches 200 points, the jackpot expectation is 100%. Here, when the reconnaissance reach variation is selected, (1) the background image is developed on the memory related to the decorative symbol display unit 14b, (2) based on the symbol information transmitted from the main controller 100 side, Various images in which a preview image determined by lottery is developed on a predetermined position on a developed background image, and (3) a predetermined navigation display image is developed on an initial position as needed based on the notice image. Data expansion is first performed on the memory. Next, a circle portion with a predetermined radius on the memory centered on the position (initial position) of the telescope image is displayed on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. The memory situation of the pachinko gaming machine so far and the display contents on the decorative symbol display unit 14b based on the memory situation will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, FIG. 21 shows a state in which the background image is developed on the memory described in (1) above. FIG. 22 shows a state in which various notice images described in (2) are pasted on the background image. Specifically, “Like” is attached to the second section, “Flower” is attached to the seventh section, and “Oval” is attached to the ninth section. Furthermore, FIG. 22 shows the predetermined navigation display image described in the above (3) (however, in FIG. 22, the signboard which is the navigation display section has “Please push the cross lever!” Is directed) to the initial position (eighth section).

  When the background image and the preview image are developed on the memory in this way, as shown in FIG. 23, a predetermined range centered on (X, Y) = (0, 0), which is the initial position of the telescope centroid position. The inside is displayed on the decorative symbol display part 14b, and the variation display of the decorative symbol which has been displayed so far on the screen is reduced and displayed on the upper left of the screen. FIG. 23 is a display screen of the decorative symbol display unit 14b at the start of the search. The circled portion in the figure is a telescope, and the background image and the preview image in the circle are visible. In addition, on the upper right side outside the circle, a point corresponding to the notice image found so far is displayed (0 points because it is an initial stage).

  Upon receiving the display, the player operates the cross lever 17 arranged at the lower left of the upper plate and moves the telescope within a predetermined time to search for as many preview images as possible. Therefore, first, the case where the player operates the cross lever 17 to the left will be described as an example. When the player operates the cross lever 17 to the left, the center of gravity of the telescope also moves to the left. Eventually, when the center of gravity of the telescope moves from the eighth section to the seventh section, as shown in FIG. 24, the eighth section on the memory becomes black and white, and the cross lever 17 is moved to enter the eighth section. Even if operated in the direction, the operation is ignored. Therefore, the player recognizes that the undiscovered notice image no longer exists in the eighth section, and becomes unable to re-enter the section.

  Then, when the player further operates the cross lever 17 to the left, as shown in FIG. 25, the center of gravity position (-9) of the seventh section is within the circle centered on the telescope center of gravity position (-5, 0). , 0), a part of the preview image (flower) is displayed. When the distance between the center of gravity of the notice image (flower) and the telescope center of gravity is equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, 3), the telescope center of gravity is automatically set without the player operating the cross lever 17. The position moves to the position of the center of gravity of the notice image (flower). As a result, as shown in FIG. 26, the notice image (flower) is displayed at the center of the screen of the decorative symbol display unit 14b. Furthermore, points (30 points) corresponding to the notice image are displayed in the telescope, and the accumulated points (30 points) so far are displayed on the upper right of the decorative symbol display section 14b. Then, “Le” indicating that the notice image has already been found is attached to the notice image (flower) (see FIG. 27). In addition, since there is no notice image other than the flower in the seventh section, all the notice images in the section are found by the discovery of the notice image.

  After that, when the player operates the cross lever 17 upward and moves from the seventh section to the fourth section, as shown in FIG. 27, the seventh section on the memory becomes black and white and reenters the seventh section Even if the user operates the cross lever 17, the operation is ignored. Therefore, the player recognizes that the undiscovered notice image no longer exists in the seventh section, and becomes unable to re-enter the section.

  Here, with reference to Table 1, processing performed internally when the above display contents are set will be briefly described. The display content can be divided into processes 1 to 7 internally. Specifically, processing 1 (initial stage), processing 2 (turns on the pre-intrusion prohibition flag for a section without a notice image), processing 3 (when moving from the eighth section to the seventh section, the eighth section is related) Since the intrusion prohibition flag is turned on and the black and white screen is set), processing 4 (the automatic moving flag is turned on because the flower warning image is approached within a predetermined distance), and processing 5 (flower warning image is found. Turn on the discovery flag and turn off the auto movement flag, and place a check mark on the preview image) Process 6 (Since there is no undiscovered preview image in the seventh section, turn on the pre-intrusion prohibition flag for the section) And processing 7 (when moving from the seventh section to the fourth section, the intrusion prohibition flag relating to the seventh section is turned on and the monochrome screen is set).

FIG. 28 and FIG. 29 show the notice image information temporarily stored in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage means 1415a (the notice image management table in the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage means 1415a) and the partition state information ( The contents of the reconnaissance reach information temporary storage means 1415a). First, FIG. 28A shows the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 1”. Here, in the notice image management table, for each of the notice images selected by the change, the notice image number that is a unique management number assigned to the notice, the number of the section where the center of gravity position of the notice exists, Type of notice, center of gravity position of the notice image, reliability of jackpot when the notice is found, points when the notice is found (actual points and post-processing points), notice image discovery flag for the notice (HF _p flag) ), A notice image direction automatic movement flag (AF _p flag) relating to the notice, and a notice image direction movement suppression flag (YF _p flag) relating to the notice are managed. Specifically, since the notice image selected at the time of the change is “Look”, “Flower”, and “Oval” as described above, the notice image number described above is displayed in the notice image management table. In addition, information such as a section number and a notice image gravity center position is stored. At the time of this processing, all the flags related to the preview image (HF _p flag, AF _p flag, YF _p flag) are off. On the other hand, in the partition management table, the pre-entry prohibition flag (PKF _n flag) related to the partition, the intrusion prohibit flag (KF _n flag) related to the partition, and the coordinates of the partition are managed for each of the first to ninth partitions. ing. At the time of this processing, all the flags related to the sections (PKF _n flag, KF _n flag) are off.

  Of the above information, the fact that the actual point and the post-processing point are separated as points when the notice is found and the fact that the notice image direction movement suppression flag is managed are directly described in this example. Does not matter. Processing that needs to be managed will be described later.

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 2” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 2”, for a section where no preview image exists, a process of turning on the PKF _n flag of the section is performed. Specifically, the section management table includes sections (first section, third section to sixth section, and eighth section) other than the sections (second section, seventh section, and ninth section) where the notice image exists. Turn on the PKF _n flag for).

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 3” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 3”, the position of the center of gravity of the telescope moves from the eighth section to the seventh section. Therefore, the KF _n flag related to the eighth partition in which the PKF _n flag is on is turned on.

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 4” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 4”, the center of gravity position of the telescope approaches the notice image (flower) within a predetermined distance (for example, 3). Therefore, the AF _p flag relating to the preview image (flower) is turned on.

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 5” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 5”, a notice image (flower) is found. Therefore, the HF _p flag related to the preview image (flower) is turned on and the AF _p flag is turned off.

Next, management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 6” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 6”, there is no undiscovered notice in the seventh section. Therefore, the PKF _n flag for the seventh section is turned on.

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 7” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 7”, the center of gravity of the telescope moves from the seventh section to the fourth section. Therefore, the KF _n flag related to the seventh partition in which the PKF _n flag is on is turned on.

Reconnaissance reach (second action)
Next, an operation when a plurality of preview images are selected and a preview image with a very high jackpot reliability exists in the plurality of preview images will be described. When there is such a notice image with a very high jackpot reliability, if the player finds the notice image prior to other notice images, there is an incentive to search for other notice images. It falls into a situation where it does not work for the player. Therefore, in this best mode, in the situation, a device for avoiding the situation is made by the following two methods.

(Movement suppression)
The first is a technique for suppressing the movement in the predetermined direction even though the player operates the cross lever 17 in the predetermined direction. In this best mode, this movement suppression is applied to a preview image whose jackpot is a predetermined value or more (50% or more). When the notice image exists, when the distance between the center of gravity of the notice image and the center of gravity of the telescope is equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, 5), the cross lever 17 is operated so that the distance approaches. Move only half the normal speed. For example, when the cross lever 17 is operated to the left in the situation where the jackpot reliability of the preview image (X, Y = −9, 0) of “Thu” in FIG. 30 is 80%, the initial position (X, Y = 0, 0) to a predetermined position (X, Y = -4, 0) at a speed of 2 frames / second, but after that, the distance to the "Thu" notice becomes a predetermined value (5) or less Therefore, it moves to the left at a speed of 1 frame / second.

  Here, with reference to Table 2, processing performed internally when performing the above-described display contents will be briefly described. The display content can be divided into processes 1 to 3 internally. Specifically, processing 1 (initial stage), processing 2 (turns on the pre-invasion prohibition flag for a section without a warning image), processing 3 (when moving to a telescope, the warning image has a reliability higher than a predetermined value) When approaching, the movement suppression flag is turned on).

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 2” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 2”, for a section where no preview image exists, a process of turning on the PKF _n flag of the section is performed. Specifically, the section management table includes sections (first section, third section to sixth section, and eighth section) other than the sections (second section, seventh section, and ninth section) where the notice image exists. Turn on the PKF _n flag for).

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 3” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 3”, the distance between the center of gravity position of the telescope and the preview image (tree) having a reliability of 80% is 5 or less. Therefore, the YF _p flag relating to the preview image (tree) is turned on.

(Fake navigation)
The second technique for avoiding the risk of the incentive to search for another notice image not working on the player is different from the notice image when there is a noticeable notice image with a high degree of reliability. This is a method of performing navigation. First, as shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, when there is no warning image having a reliability exceeding 50%, the direction of the warning image (flower) having the highest reliability of these warning images (the seventh). The direction of the notice image of “flower” such as “Look at the left!” Is displayed on the signboard object existing at the initial position (eighth section) of the telescope image so that the cross lever 17 is operated in the direction of the section). Is done.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 33, processing performed internally when the above-described display contents are performed will be briefly described. First, actual points are assigned corresponding to each notice image. When the notice image is found, the actual points are displayed on the screen. Here, the actual point is set to a value twice as large as the jackpot reliability. For example, since the jackpot reliability of the preview image “Like” is 10%, 20 points are set as actual points. Next, the post-processing points are basically the same as the actual points, but when the actual points are 100 points or more (that is, when the jackpot reliability is 50% or more), the points are notified to other notices. This is set to the average of the points of the image. When navigation is generated, navigation is performed in the direction of the notice image with the highest post-processing point. Therefore, as a result, navigation display is performed in the direction (the direction of the seventh section) of the “flower” preview image (actual point = 60) having the highest actual point.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 34, when there is a preview image with a reliability exceeding 50%, the direction of the preview image (tree) having the highest reliability among these preview images (the seventh). In order to prevent the cross lever 17 from being operated in the direction of the section), the direction of the notice image of the “tree” (the seventh one) such as “Attention to the right!” The navigation is performed in a direction different from the direction of the section (the direction of the notice image of “oval”).

  Here, with reference to FIG. 34, a process performed internally when the above-described display contents are performed will be briefly described. As described above, among the selected preview images, the “Thu” preview image has a reliability of 70%, so the actual points exceed 140 points and 100. Therefore, the post-processing points are reduced to 30 points, and as a result, navigation display is performed in the direction of the “small” notice image (actual point = 40) having the highest post-processing points (the direction of the ninth section).

Reconnaissance reach (third action)
Since the reconnaissance reach time is limited, avoiding situations where there is no trailer image or in the vicinity of a trailer image that has already been discovered, and as many trailer images as possible so that the player can operate the cross lever 17 efficiently. It is preferable to build a situation that can be discovered. Therefore, in this best mode, when leaving a certain section, a configuration is adopted in which the telescope is forcibly moved to a section where an undiscovered notice image exists. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, when three types of warning images (similar to the second section, flowers in the seventh section, and oval in the ninth section) are arranged, When the scope moves up and the telescope's center of gravity exits the eighth section and enters the fifth section, there is no notice image in the fifth section, so the predetermined position of the seventh section where the notice image exists The center of gravity of the telescope is forcibly moved to {for example (X, Y = -3, 1)}.

  Here, with reference to Table 3, an outline of processing internally performed when the above-described display contents are set will be briefly described. The display content can be divided into processes 1 to 3 internally. Specifically, processing 1 (initial stage), processing 2 (turns on the pre-invasion prohibition flag for the section without the warning image), processing 3 (tried to move from the eighth section to the fifth section without the warning image) (Forcibly move by lottery to another section with a notice image).

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 2” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 2”, for a section where no preview image exists, a process of turning on the PKF _n flag of the section is performed. Specifically, the section management table includes sections (first section, third section to sixth section, and eighth section) other than the sections (second section, seventh section, and ninth section) where the notice image exists. Turn on the PKF _n flag for).

Next, the management contents of the preview image management table and the partition management table at the time of “Process 3” will be described with reference to FIG. In “Process 3”, the center of gravity of the telescope tries to move from the 8th section to the 5th section. However, since the PKF ₅ flag for the 5th section is on, another section (the first section) with the notice image is drawn by lottery. 7 divisions) is determined and the vehicle is forcibly moved to that division, and the KF _n flag for the eighth division and the fifth division is turned on.

When 100-person slash reach variation is selected, roughly, (1) Three sets of operations (battle effects) that cause the player to repeatedly press the button for a predetermined time are performed. (2) Depending on how many consecutive hits, Different variation modes are displayed on the decorative symbol display unit 14b. Specifically, first, FIG. 36 is a first battle effect display. As shown in the figure, the decorative symbol variation is reduced to the lower left, and a message “Please press the button repeatedly” is displayed to prompt the player to press the button repeatedly. Then, the indicator changes color according to the button operation by the player. When a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) is reached, as shown in FIG. 37, the number of people who have cut off is displayed according to the amount of color change of the indicator, such as “successful! 30 people cut”. When the player does not perform any operation for the time, a display such as “failure! 0 people cut” as shown in FIG. 38 is performed. Then, the same thing is done for the second time and the third time, and when the total number of people cut for the first time to the third time is 100 or more, as shown in FIG. ”Is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 40, a variable display in which the jackpot is fixed (all decorative symbols are displayed with the same numbers) is displayed. On the other hand, if the total value of the number of people cut for the first time to the third time is less than 100, as shown in FIG. 41, after “100 people have failed to cut!” Is displayed, as shown in FIG. The normal reach variation display in which only the third symbol is varied is performed.

  Here, in the first to third battle effects, the player repeatedly hits the button. Even if the player repeatedly hits in the same manner, the degree of increase of the indicator varies with time even at each time and even at the same time. For the sake of easy understanding, first, an increase pattern of an indicator (count value) associated with repeated button hits in a conventional machine will be described. First, FIG. 43 shows an increase pattern of an indicator (count value) associated with repeated button hits in the first conventional machine. As can be seen from the figure, the first conventional machine is configured such that the count value increases in proportion to the button operation. Next, FIG. 44 shows an increase pattern of an indicator (count value) associated with repeated button hits in the second conventional machine. As can be seen from the figure, in the second conventional machine, the button operation effective timing is set internally, and the button operation is performed during the effective time (when the button operation effective timing is “ON”). However, the button operation is ignored during the invalid time (when the button operation valid timing is “OFF”). Next, FIG. 45 shows an increasing pattern of an indicator (count value) associated with repeated button hits in the third conventional machine. As can be seen from the figure, the third conventional machine is configured to subtract the count value when a predetermined time (forced decrease timing) is reached. As described above, in the case of the second conventional machine and the third conventional machine, the increase in the count value is low even when the same continuous strike is performed as compared with the first conventional machine.

  In the best mode, basically, the system of the second conventional machine and the system of the third conventional machine are combined. However, the button operation effective timing and the forced decrease timing are determined by lottery for each part and further for each part after dividing the same time into a plurality of parts. And, as the button operation effective timing, it is set to the X stage from the timing advantageous to the player (the longer the effective time is advantageous) to the timing disadvantageous to the player (the disadvantage is the shorter the effective time), while as the forced decrease timing, A timing that is advantageous to the player (the smaller the number of forced reduction timings and / or the smaller the subtraction value per one), (X × Y) number of increase rate patterns can be constructed by setting the Y stage until the subtraction value per time is larger. An example of the count value increase rate at a certain time (for example, the first time) will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. First, the time is divided into four equal parts from “Part 1” to “Part 4”. Then, the button operation effective timing and the forced decrease timing are determined for each part by lottery. First, in “Part 1”, the button operation effective timing is disadvantageous for the player, and the forced decrease timing is advantageous for the player. On the contrary, in “Part 2”, the button operation effective timing is advantageous to the player, and the forced decrease timing is disadvantageous to the player. Therefore, in these parts, the rate of increase of the count value is “normal”. Next, in “Part 3”, both the button operation effective timing and the forced decrease timing are disadvantageous to the player. Therefore, in this part, the rate of increase of the count value is “difficult”. Finally, in “Part 4”, both the button operation effective timing and the forced decrease timing are in an advantageous state for the player. Therefore, in this part, the rate of increase of the count value is “easy”.

  Here, FIG. 47 is a diagram conceptually showing how the count value changes in accordance with the change in the internal rate of increase when the player hits the game evenly. As can be seen from the figure, in the “difficult” part, the increase in the count value is gradual, and as the “normal” or “easy” state is reached, the increase gradient of the count value increases.

In this best mode, the maximum value (C _lim ) of the “number of people that can be cut” for the first time is set to 30 people, and the maximum value (C _lim ) of the “number of people that can be cut” for the second time and the third time is set to 40 people. ing. Then, within the maximum value frame, an internally determined “total number of people that can be cut” is assigned to each time, and the value is set as the maximum value in the variation mode. For example, in FIG. 48, 74 people are determined as the “total number of people that can be cut” in the change, and the 74 people are 30 people, 24 people, and 20 people as the “number of people that can be cut” for the first to the third time. It is an allocated case. When the maximum value is reached at the corresponding time, for example, when 24 people are reached at the second time in FIG. 48, the indicator does not rise even if the player hits the button repeatedly thereafter. It is configured as follows.

Mission production (determining mission details)
The mission effect imposes a mission with a predetermined content (for example, a content such as “Let's reach 2!”) On the player when the symbol changes a predetermined number of times (for example, 20 times), If it is cleared, the symbol variation will hit the symbol with a high probability. Here, the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode is configured so that one can be selected from a plurality of missions. As shown in FIG. 49, after the start of symbol variation, one of the panels A to C whose mission contents are hidden is determined within a predetermined time. At this time, the cross lever 17 is operated to move the cursor to a desired panel position, and then the operation button 19 is pressed to determine. Here, when the operation button 19 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 50, the mission content corresponding to the selected panel, “Please reach with 2 within 20 revolutions!” Is displayed for a moment, and new fluctuations are displayed. After the mode is started and the variation is displayed, the symbol variation stops. Here, in the best mode, even if the mission content is determined before the “predetermined time” that is the mission selectable time, the fluctuation display is started after reaching the “predetermined time”. Instead, if the mission content is determined before the “predetermined time” is reached, the operation button 19 is not pressed until the “predetermined time” is reached. In the meantime, the variable display is started.

The internal control at this time will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 51 shows variation mode data stored in the decorative symbol variation mode storage means 1330. Here, the variation mode in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode includes three modes, “mountain mode”, “river mode”, and “castle mode”. A plurality of variation modes corresponding to each mode are provided. For example, in the mountain mode, the fluctuation of Y _A whose fluctuation time is (T ₀ + T ₁ ), Y _B whose fluctuation time is (T ₀ + T ₂ ), and fluctuation of Y _C whose fluctuation time is (T ₀ + T ₃ ). An aspect is being prepared. Here, with the boundary indicated by the arrow “α” in the figure as a boundary, all the variations are composed of two parts, part 1 and part 2. And the fluctuation time of Part 1 in all the fluctuation modes is the same (T ₀ ). Furthermore, part 1, a variation mode corresponding to each mode, for example, Part 1 (Y _A1) of the mountain mode Y _A is a variation mode that climbing. However, Part 2 in all the variation modes is related to the mode, but is a variation mode that does not cause any contradiction even when combined with the variation mode of Part 1 of other modes. For example, part 2 (Y _B2 ) of Y _{B in} the river mode is a jumping variation mode, and this variation mode is performed even if the symbol variation corresponding to which part 1 of any mode has been performed before that. , No contradiction occurs and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

In a situation in which such variation mode data is stored in the decorative symbol variation mode storage means 1330, the remaining time of the variation is, for example, T (T ₂ >T> T ₁ ) from the time the mission is determined as described above. case, change the time of Part 2 is out of the fluctuation mode of T _1, to determine the specific change aspect parts in the lottery. As described above, since it is configured to incorporate the remaining parts obtained by cutting all the variation modes at a uniform place (α in FIG. 51), there is no need to separately store moving image data for incorporation. The amount of memory consumption can be reduced as compared with the case where a different variation location is cut for each variation mode.

Mission production (successful mission)
Next, with reference to FIG. 52, a description will be given of a variation mode and a stop symbol in the decorative symbol display unit 14b when the hit information is received from the main controller 100 side during the mission. Here, in the situation where the mission “Let's reach at 2!” Is issued, the main controller 100 side transmits the symbol information “4” and the attribute information “normal hit”. Suppose. First, the above is an example of variation in a conventional pachinko gaming machine. After the special symbol and the decorative symbol are simultaneously displayed on the special symbol display unit 14a and the decorative symbol display unit 14b, the first symbol of the decorative symbol is stopped at “2”, and then the second symbol of the decorative symbol is also displayed. Stop at “2”. This completes the mission. Thereafter, the third symbol of the decorative symbols also stops at “2”, and hits are confirmed at “222”. However, since the decorative symbol “222” corresponds to the special symbol “2”, in order to correspond to the special symbol “4” transmitted from the main control device 100 side, the “222” that is aligned at one end. After the decorative symbol is changed again and shifted to “444”, the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed at “444” in accordance with the timing at which the special symbol is fixedly displayed at “4”.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode, after the special symbol and the decorative symbol simultaneously start the variable display in the special symbol display unit 14a and the decorative symbol display unit 14b, respectively, the first symbol of the decorative symbol is “2”. Then, the second design of the decorative design is also stopped at “2”. This completes the mission. Thereafter, the third symbol of the decorative symbols also stops at “2”, and hits are confirmed at “222”. Then, the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed at “222” in accordance with the timing when the special symbol is fixedly displayed at “4”.

  According to this best mode, since the stop symbol of the decorative symbol at the time of determining the special game shift is determined based on the attribute of the stop special symbol instead of the conventional special symbol stop symbol, at least constituting the decorative symbol When a command to stop display of one component is issued and the attribute of the component and the special stop symbol is the same, the one component is stopped and displayed according to the mission, and the one component is stopped. It is possible to stop display the stop decorative design including the components. As a result, it is no longer necessary to display the stop symbol of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol identification information of the special symbol by performing re-variation after performing the variation mode according to the command contents as in the past. As a result, it is possible to avoid the increase in memory capacity and the performance enhancement of the CPU accompanying the increase in complexity.

  In addition, when a command (stop display instruction for at least one component constituting the decorative symbol) is notified, the stop special symbol is in a predetermined mode, and the attribute of the predetermined mode is different from the attribute of the component, In addition to following the command, stop display according to the attribute of the stop special symbol is possible, so that the confusion of the player that may occur based on the difference between the attribute of the special stop symbol and the stop decorative symbol can be avoided. There is an effect.

  Furthermore, even when a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map and there is an object image with a very high expectation degree of jackpots, when it is operated in a direction approaching the object, the display area specific coordinates Since the change suppression means is configured to reduce the change amount of the display area specific coordinates, the player can perform an operation in a direction in which the change amount of the display area specific coordinates is not small (that is, an operation in a direction that is easy to operate). As a result, the possibility that an object image with a high degree of expectation will be found by a player prior to another object image is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which image processing related to other object images is wasted, and to sufficiently secure pleasure for the player to search the background image map, thereby enhancing the interest of the gaming machine.

  Furthermore, since the amount of change is changed according to the type of the object image, for example, an object image with a very high reliability that is not desirable to be detected by the player at the initial stage of the fluctuation. In this case, it is possible to set the difficulty of finding the object image in a stepwise manner, such as remarkably reducing the change amount of the display area specific coordinates.

  Further, when the distance falls within a predetermined value, the change amount of the display area specific coordinates becomes small. In other words, when the distance is larger than the predetermined value, the change amount of the display area specific coordinates. Therefore, the player can be prevented from feeling irritated by reducing the amount of change until unnecessary.

  Furthermore, a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map, and when a plurality of object images are found by moving on the background image map, the object is automatically guided to the object when approaching to some extent. Because it is configured so that you can find many object images even within a limited time. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which image processing relating to a plurality of object images is not found by the player and is wasted, and it is possible to sufficiently ensure pleasure for the player to search the background image map.

  Furthermore, since the predetermined value can be changed according to the type of the object image, for example, in the case of an object image with low reliability that can be detected by a player at any stage. The predetermined value is set to a large value, and conversely, in the case of a highly reliable object image that is not desired to be detected by the player at the initial stage of fluctuation, the predetermined value is set to a large value. There is an effect that it becomes possible to set the easiness of discovery and the difficulty of discovery in stages.

  Furthermore, a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map, and even when an object image with a very high expectation degree of jackpot exists among them, the navigation image is displayed in a direction different from the object. As a result, the player is more likely to perform an operation in a direction different from the object image with the very high expectation level of the jackpot, and as a result, the object image with the high expectation level is found by the player prior to other object images. The possibility of being reduced. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which image processing relating to other object images is wasted and to sufficiently ensure the pleasure of allowing the player to search the background image map.

  Furthermore, when there is no object image with high jackpot reliability, the navigation display is determined based on the second parameter that does not modify the first parameter related to the jackpot reliability, while the object image with high jackpot reliability is If present, the navigation display is determined based on the second parameter obtained by correcting the first parameter related to the jackpot reliability. Therefore, when there is no object image with high jackpot reliability, the correct navigation display is performed, so that the player can be satisfied, and when there is an object image with high jackpot reliability, a false As a result of the navigation display, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid a risk that the object image is found in the initial stage of the variable display.

  Furthermore, when a highly reliable object image exists, a false navigation display is performed based on the second parameter, while when the object image is found, the special game transition degree is determined based on the first parameter. Since the correct information regarding is displayed, it is possible to further avoid the situation of making the player feel distrustful as compared to the case of continuing to fake to the end.

  Furthermore, when the effective time method and the subtraction time method are combined, the effective time is short or the subtraction time is frequently visited, that is, when the count value is difficult to increase even if continuous operation is performed. Even so, the player expects that the state will change sequentially and that the count value will likely increase soon after the state ends. There is an effect that it is possible to allow the player to perform continuous operation for all times.

  Furthermore, when the effective time method and the subtraction time method are combined, the effective time is short or the subtraction time is frequently visited, that is, the count value is difficult to increase even if continuous operation is performed. Even so, the player expects that the state is a part of the predetermined time, and that the count value may increase soon after the state ends. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to allow the player to perform a continuous operation for all the predetermined time.

  Furthermore, since the profit state changing means for changing the profit state of the player is provided, the incentive to allow the player to perform continuous operation can be further increased, and as a result, the interest of the pachinko gaming machine is further enhanced. There is an effect that becomes possible.

  Furthermore, based on the count value, a conventional “type 1 or type 3”, which is not an exaggeration to say that the player pays the most attention during the game and determines the value of the gaming machine. Since it was set as the structure, as a result of being able to give the player a higher incentive to perform the continuous operation, there is an effect that it is possible to further enhance the interest of the pachinko gaming machine.

  Furthermore, after the mission content is determined, the decoration pattern changes immediately, so the player must spend the time until the expiry after the player determines the mission content and the boring time. There is an effect that can be eliminated. Furthermore, since the existing variation mode data is processed and the processing locations of all the variation mode data are configured to be the same, a large number of moving image data relating to the variation mode corresponding to the remaining time of the variation mode is prepared. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid the problem of an increase in memory consumption based on changing the processing location of the existing variation mode data.

  Furthermore, the selected variation mode moving image part data is variation mode moving image part data corresponding to the remaining time that is the same as or shorter than the remaining time and that is closest to the remaining time. Therefore, there is an effect that the waiting time until the variation mode of the part data is started is shortened.

  Furthermore, since the predetermined time serving as the boundary is present at one or a plurality of locations, particularly when there are a plurality of locations, the selectable variation mode moving image part data is increased, and the range of selection is widened.

  Further, a plurality of object images are pasted on the background image map, and when the plurality of object images are found by moving on the background image map, a place where the object image does not exist or the object image is already found. Since it is configured not to enter a certain place, a large number of object images can be found even within a limited time. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation where image processing relating to a plurality of object images is wasted, and to have an effect that it is possible to sufficiently ensure pleasure for the player to search the background image map.

  Furthermore, since the movable object image coordinates are automatically moved to a section where entry is not prohibited by the movable object image coordinate entry prohibiting means, a number of the prohibited objects are not permitted within a limited time. There is an effect that the search can be efficiently performed in the sections.

A modified example of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode will be described. The modified example is a pachinko gaming machine that provides a completely new game using each means in the reconnaissance reach in the best mode. It should be noted that “telescope” such as “telescope position control means 1413” and “telescope forced movement determination means 1413c _1-3 ” in the best mode will be read as “designated object” below.

  Therefore, this modification will be described with reference to FIG. In general, this pachinko machine imposes a quiz on the variable display time of decorative symbols, and if the answer is correct, the panel changes color to color A, while if the answer is incorrect, the panel changes to color B If the color A is changed and the color A is constructed on a predetermined line, a premier effect that is not normally seen can be seen. In addition, the discolored section has a configuration that cannot be re-entered.

  Accordingly, in a time series manner, first, immediately after the decoration symbol change, the background image of the panel format shown in FIG. 53 (1) is displayed on the decoration symbol display unit 14b. The player moves the designated object in the shape of an arrow in the figure to a predetermined section (any one of 1 to 9) with the cross lever 17, and then presses the operation button 19 to determine the section. Then, as shown in FIG. 53 (2), for example, by pressing the operation button 19 in a situation where the designated object exists in the fifth section, the panel of the fifth section is inverted and a quiz is displayed. (Which is the correct reading of “侍” in the figure?) Then, the player moves the designated object to the correct answer with the cross lever 17 within a predetermined time and presses the operation button 19 to confirm. If the answer by the player is correct, as shown in FIG. 53 (3), the fifth section changes to color A, and the designated object is forcibly moved to a section that does not change color. FIG. 53 (4) shows a case where the same operation is performed in the first section, the fourth section, and the eighth section, and the quiz is incorrect in any section. As described above, these sections are changed to the color B, and the designated object is forcibly moved to the seventh section after the quiz of the eighth section is completed.

  Here, even if the player desires a quiz for another section instead of the seventh section, the player cannot move to another section because all directions are surrounded by the intrusion prohibited section. Therefore, in the best mode, under a predetermined condition (for example, when the cross lever 17 is operated toward the intrusion prohibited section for a predetermined time or when the operation button 19 for determining the section is not operated for a predetermined time), It is configured to forcibly move from the section to another section.

  FIG. 53 (5) shows a state where the player correctly answers the quizzes in the seventh section and the third section, and a correct row is formed obliquely upward. In response to this, a premiere effect is started after the message “Successful in a row!” Is displayed.
