  Accordingly, the operations of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are classified as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the operations of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are first classified into no notice, notice form 1 and notice form 2 after the start of variable display of symbols. When there is no prior notice, it is classified according to normal fluctuation (no reach), normal reach, reach production A, reach production B, and reach production C, and then in reach production C, it is classified according to the presence or absence of a rolling action by the movable members 21, 37, 38. Is done. On the other hand, in the notice mode 1, it is classified by reach effect B and reach effect C, and then in reach effect C, it is classified by the presence / absence of a rolling action by the movable members 21, 37, 38. Further, the notice mode 2 is classified into a reach effect B and a reach effect C (with a hitting action).

  Next, specific movements of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 in the notice modes 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the notice mode 1, first, as shown in FIG. 8A, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are stopped when the solenoids 21a, 37a, and 38a are stopped (the movable member 21 has the lower jaw portion 21b closed). 8D is transmitted to the solenoid 21a, and the drive signal of FIG. 8E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a is a signal that repeats a 300 ms ON signal twice after a predetermined interval, and then repeats a 300 ms ON signal three times after a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each solenoid 37a, 38a is repeated 300 ms ON signal after repeating 50 ms ON signal 5 times, and then 300 ms ON after repeating 50 ms ON signal 5 times. The signal repeats twice, and the movable members 37 and 38 operate synchronously. The drive signal transmitted to each solenoid 21a, 37a, 38a will be described in detail later. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8B, the movable member 21 imitating the face of a monster moves the lower jaw portion 21b in the vertical direction (an action in which the monster opens and closes its mouth to feel like it is). The doll-shaped movable members 37, 38 continuously perform a combination of a horizontal swinging motion and a slow horizontal swinging motion. More specifically, after the movable members 37 and 38 on both sides perform a small operation, the movable member 21 on the center and the movable members 37 and 38 on both sides perform a loose operation alternately so that the movable members 37 and 38 are movable. The member 21 and the movable members 37 and 38 perform corresponding operations. Then, when transmission of the drive signal to each solenoid 21a, 37a, 38a is stopped, as shown in FIG. 8C, the movable members 21, 37, 38 are again stopped (the movable member 21 is the lower jaw portion 21b). Is closed).

  In the notice mode 2, first, as shown in FIG. 9 (A), the movable members 21, 37, 38 are stopped by the drive stop of the solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a (the movable member 21 is in a state where the lower jaw portion 21b is closed). 9D is transmitted to the solenoid 21a, and the drive signal of FIG. 9E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. As for the drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a, at first, similarly to the drive signal of FIG. 8 (D), after a predetermined interval, the 300 ms ON signal is repeated twice, and then at a predetermined interval, the 300 ms ON signal is repeated. It is a signal that repeats the signal three times, and is a signal that continues to be ON for a certain time after a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each solenoid 37a, 38a is the same signal as the drive signal in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, the movable member 21 imitating the face of the monster moves the lower jaw portion 21b in the vertical direction (operation that the monster opens and closes its mouth and feels like it is). The doll-shaped movable members 37, 38 continuously perform a combination of a horizontal swinging motion and a slow horizontal swinging motion. Then, after the movement of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 is temporarily stopped, as shown in FIG. 9C, only the movable member 21 moves the lower jaw portion 21b downward for a certain time (the monster makes its mouth larger). Opening action).

  Note that the notice mode 2 is set so as to appear on the assumption that it always reaches reach, and the reach signal is derived to the special symbol display device 9 for the ON signal for a certain period of time shown in FIG. It is output immediately after. That is, in the notice mode 2, each movable member 21, 37, 38 is operated in the same manner as the notice form 1 until the reach symbol is derived, and only the movable member 21 is operated immediately after the reach symbol is derived. It is like that. In addition, when the ON signal is output for a certain period of time, in other words, immediately after derivation of the reach symbol, as shown in FIG. 9C, a character 82 of “reach” is displayed in the display area 80 of the special symbol display device 9. It is displayed instead. As can be seen from this, when the notice mode 1 is the basic operation, the notice mode 2 is an extended operation with additional operations after the basic operation, whereas the notice mode 1 performs the reach notice. Therefore, the notice mode 2 performs a big hit notice. Further, in the notice mode 2, which is an expansion operation, the number of movable members to be operated changes midway (changes from three movable members 21, 37, 38 to one movable member 21), so that it is easy to understand that it has developed. ing. In addition, as a configuration that makes it easy to understand the development in this way, the combination of movable members that operate may be changed midway. For example, the advance notice operation may be performed by the combination of the movable members 21 and 37 at the beginning, and it may be easy to understand the progress by switching to the combination of the movable members 21 and 38 in the middle. In addition to the “Leach” character displayed immediately after the reach symbol is derived, a character may be displayed along with the character, or a lamp may be turned on or a voice effect may be provided. This makes it easier to understand the difference between the basic operation and the development operation.

  Next, a specific display mode of the special symbol display device 9 in the reach effects A to C and a specific movement of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the reach effect A, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the left and right stop symbols are aligned with the same symbol to reach a reach state, the egg character image 81 is displayed in the central variable display area 80b instead of the middle symbol. (Specifically, the character image 81 overlaps the middle symbol, and only the character image 81 is visible from the player side). FIG. 10A illustrates a case where the symbol “7” is stopped in the left and right variable display areas 80a and 80c, and reach is reached. In the embodiment, the character image 81 is stopped and displayed in the variable display area 80b when reaching reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a normal numeric symbol such as “6” may be stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the character image 81 (egg image) displayed in place of the middle symbol at the same time as the reach is moved and displayed upward as a change in reach, thereby gradually imitating the monster. At the same time, the operation of the movable member 21 (the vertical movement of the lower jaw portion 21a) is started. After that, when the character image 81 moves upward to the upper end of the variable display area 80b, as shown in FIG. 10C, the movable member 21 imitating a monster performs an effect such that the egg character image 81 is bitten. At the same time, a display for crushing the egg character image 81 (display in which egg fragments fall) is performed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10 (D), at the same time as the operation of the movable member 21 is stopped, a middle symbol is displayed that moves downward by being mixed with a falling egg fragment. In other words, a middle symbol appears from the chewed egg and is displayed in a downward movement, whereby the symbol is stopped in the left, middle, and right variable display areas 80a to 80c, and the display result is derived. That is, in the reach effect A, the operation of the movable member 21 is always accompanied. However, the movable members 37 and 38 are not operated during the reach effect A. FIG. 10D illustrates the case where the middle symbol of “7” appears from the chewed eggs and the winning symbol of “7, 7, 7” is derived as the display result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a symbol different from the left and right symbols may appear from the egg, and the lost symbol may be derived as a display result. Further, after the lost symbol is derived in this way, the middle symbol may be moved upward again to repeatedly perform the crushing effect of the movable member 21.

  In the reach effect B, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the left and right stop symbols are aligned with the same symbol and reach a reach state, the egg character image 81 is displayed in the central variable display area 80b instead of the middle symbol. (Specifically, the character image 81 overlaps the middle symbol, and only the character image 81 is visible from the player side). FIG. 11A illustrates a case where the symbol “7” is stopped in the left and right variable display areas 80a and 80c and reach is reached. In the embodiment, the character image 81 is stopped and displayed in the variable display area 80b when reaching reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a normal numeric symbol such as “6” may be stopped.

  Then, the character image 81 (egg image) displayed in place of the middle symbol at the same time as the reach is displayed swaying from side to side as the reach variation as shown in FIG. 11B. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11 (C), the character image 81 on which the intense shaking display has been performed is cracked, and a middle symbol appears from the inside. Finally, as shown in FIG. The symbols are stopped in the middle and right variable display areas 80a to 80c, and the display result is derived. In the series of reach effects B as described above, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are not operated. That is, in the reach effect B, the movement of the movable members 21, 37, 38 is not accompanied at all. In addition, in FIG. 11 (D), the case where the symbol “7” is derived as the display result by the middle symbol “7” appearing from the broken eggs is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a symbol different from the left and right symbols may appear from the egg, and the lost symbol may be derived as a display result. Alternatively, the egg character image 81 may not be broken, and a lost symbol may be derived as a result. Furthermore, after the lost symbol is derived in this way, the shaking effect of the character image 81 may be repeated again.

  In the reach effect C, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the left and right stop symbols are aligned with the same symbol to reach a reach state, the egg character image 81 is displayed in the central variable display area 80b instead of the middle symbol. (Specifically, the character image 81 overlaps the middle symbol, and only the character image 81 is visible from the player side). FIG. 12A illustrates a case where the symbol “7” is stopped in the left and right variable display areas 80a and 80c and reach is reached. In the embodiment, the character image 81 is stopped and displayed in the variable display area 80b when reaching reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a normal numeric symbol such as “6” may be stopped.

  Then, the character image 81 (egg image) displayed in place of the middle symbol at the same time as the reach is switched to an image placed on the volcano as a reach variation as shown in FIG. The egg is moved and displayed by the eruption. After that, as shown in FIG. 12 (C), the display of the volcanic eruption is over, and the middle symbol appears along with the ash image and is moved and displayed downward. At this time, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 may or may not perform their respective operations. In other words, when the reach effect C has a beat, each movable member 21, 37, 38 operates (turns) in accordance with the downward movement of the middle symbol. On the other hand, when the reach effect C is no turn, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 do not operate when the middle symbol moves downward. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12D, the symbols are stopped in the left, middle, and right variable display regions 80a to 80c, and the display result is derived. That is, in the reach effect C, there are a case where the operation of the movable members 21, 37, 38 is accompanied (when there is a beat) and a case where the operation is not accompanied (when there is no turn). FIG. 12D illustrates the case where the middle symbol of “7” is moved downward, and the winning symbol of “7, 7, 7” is derived as a display result. Not limited to this, a symbol different from the left and right symbols may appear from the egg, and the lost symbol may be derived as a display result. Further, a lost symbol may be derived as a result of the middle symbol moved downward passing through the lower end of the variable display area 80b as it is. Further, after that, an eruption effect may be performed again. Also, a so-called “big hit determining operation” may be performed in which a winning symbol is always derived as a display result by causing a character to appear after deriving a lost symbol. The player can be convinced of the big hit by performing such an effect, and the interest of the game is improved. Further, if the movable member is operated together during the “hit determination operation”, it can be further appealed to the player that it is the “hit determination operation”.

  Next, a specific turning operation of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 in the reach effect C will be described with reference to FIG. 13. During the turning operation, the drive signal shown in FIG. 13D is transmitted to the solenoid 21a. The drive signals shown in FIG. 13E are transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. As the drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a, a signal having a long ON time (hereinafter referred to as a first signal) is repeated three times, and then a signal having a shorter ON time than the first signal (hereinafter referred to as this). The second signal) is repeated four times, and finally a signal having a shorter ON time than the second signal (hereinafter referred to as the third signal) is repeated six times. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each solenoid 37a, 38a is a signal obtained by removing the first signal from the drive signal of FIG. 13D, and shows a second signal repeated four times and a third signal repeated six times. This signal is output in synchronization with the drive signal 13 (D).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 13A, the output period of the first signal is when the middle symbol starts to move downward on the special symbol display device 9, and the movable member 21 operates slowly during this period ( The monster slowly opens its mouth 3 times). As shown in FIG. 13B, the output period of the second signal is when the special symbol display device 9 moves the middle symbol downward to near the center. During this period, the movable member 21 is slightly faster ( The operation in which the monster opens its mouth slightly faster is repeated four times, and the movable members 37 and 38 swing in synchronization with this. As shown in FIG. 13C, the output period of the third signal is when the special symbol display device 9 moves the middle symbol downward to the center position. During this period, the movable member 21 operates quickly (monster). The operation of opening the mouth quickly in small increments) is repeated 6 times, and the movable members 37 and 38 swing in synchronization with this. As described above, during the turn effect of reach effect C, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 increase the operation speed and increase the number of operations as the middle symbol approaches the center. In addition, the number of movable members that operate as the middle symbol approaches the center is increased (initially, one movable member 21 becomes three movable members 21, 37, and 38 from the middle).

  Next, the jackpot reliability according to the operation mode of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. In the ball game machine 1 of the present embodiment, the number of symbols that fluctuate in the left, middle, and right variable display areas 80a to 80c is individually set to 10 and the jackpot probability is set to 1/200. The case where it did is illustrated. First, the appearance rate for each display mode (symbol variation pattern) of the special symbol display device 9 will be described with reference to FIG. When the display result is lost, the symbol fluctuation pattern is short-circuited by normal fluctuation (lost without reach), normal reach, lost, and reach production A, as shown as fluctuation patterns 1 to 15 in FIG. Loss (Losses other than ± 1 design deviation), Reach Production A, +1 Loss (+1 Design Missing), Reach Production A, -1 Loss (-1 Design Missing), Reach Production B After performing short loss and reach production B, -1 loss, performing announcement mode 1, performing reach production B, performing -1 loss, and performing announcement mode 2, performing reach production B, -1 loss, reaching production Execute C, perform a reach effect C with a short loss, and a turn action, -1 lose, perform a reach effect C without a turn action, -1 lose, perform a notice mode 1 Reach effect C with no motion and -1 loss, after performing notice mode 1, perform reach effect C with squeeze operation, and after performing -1 lose and predict mode 2, perform reach effect C with squealing motion There are 15 types of loss.

  On the other hand, when the display result is a win, as shown as variation patterns 16 to 25 in FIG. 14, the normal reach is performed, the reach effect A is performed, the reach effect B is performed, and the notice mode 1 is set. After performing the reach effect B, hitting after performing the notice mode 2, performing the reach effect B, performing the reach effect C without the beat operation, hitting the reach effect C with the beat operation, Reach effect C with no scooping action after performing notice mode 1, hit with reach effect C with scolding action after performing notice mode 1, reach with scoring action after performing notice mode 2 There are 10 types of hits that are performed in production C. In FIG. 14, in the various variation patterns 1 to 25, those that are accompanied by the notice mode 1 by the movable member are marked with “◯” in the “notice action” column, and the notice form 2 by the movable member is attached. Items are marked with “◎” in the “Notice Action” column. In addition, “○” is marked in the “Production Action” column for those that are accompanied by a reach production action (excluding the rolling action) by a movable member, and the “Tilt Action” column is for those that are accompanied by a rolling action by a movable member. Is marked with “○”.

  In the above-described various fluctuation patterns 1 to 25, the random number extraction rate at the time of determining the big hit (the probability that the fluctuation pattern is selected at the time of determining the hit loss) will be lost from the 1/200 big hit probability. The variation patterns 1 to 15 are each 199/200, and the variation patterns 16 to 25 that are the winning results are each 1/200. In addition, the random number extraction rate at the time of reach determination (the probability that the variation pattern is selected at the time of determination of the presence or absence of reach) varies depending on the display result. That is, when the display result is lost, reach is achieved if the stop symbols displayed in the left and right variable display areas 80a and 80c are the same symbol. For this reason, from the number of symbols that fluctuate in each of the variable display areas 80a and 80c (10 symbols each), the variation pattern 1 without reach is 9/10, and the variation patterns 2 to 15 with reach are each 1/10. On the other hand, when the display result is a hit, the reach is always reached when the hit is determined with a probability of 1/200, so that each of the fluctuation patterns 16 to 25 becomes 1.

Further, in this embodiment, when there is no reach (in the case of the fluctuation pattern 1), when there is a loss with reach (in the case of any of the fluctuation patterns 2 to 15), when there is a hit with reach (the fluctuation pattern 16). In any case of ~ 25), the selection rate of various variation patterns is divided and set in three cases. Specifically, in the case of no reach, since there is only the fluctuation pattern 1, the selection rate of the fluctuation pattern 1 is 1. In the case of loss with reach, normal reach is performed and the fluctuation pattern 2 that results in loss is set to 50/100. Hereinafter, the fluctuation patterns 3 to 15 are set to the values shown in the column “selectivity” in FIG. ing. In the case of winning with reach, normal reach is performed and the variation pattern 16 that is a winning is set to 1/100. Hereinafter, the variation patterns 17 to 25 are set to the values shown in the “selectivity” column of FIG. ing. Therefore, from the random number extraction rate (A) at the time of jackpot determination described above, the random number extraction rate (B) at the time of reach determination, and the selection rate (C), the appearance rates (D) of various variation patterns 1 to 25 are:
D (%) = A × B × C
Each appearance rate is calculated in the “appearance rate” column of FIG. The appearance rate shown in the figure is a numerical value rounded to the second decimal place.

  Next, based on the appearance rates of the above-described various variation patterns 1 to 25, “a reach effect (either normal reach or reach effect A to C) appears” “an advance notice by an accessory (movable members 21, 37, 38) ( "Notice mode 1 or 2" appears "" Notice mode 1 appears "" Notice mode 2 appears "" Reach A effect (reach effect A) appears "" Reach B effect (reach effect B) appears " Reach C production (reach production C) appears "" Reach C production (reach production C) appears (has groaning action) " )) For each of the nine occurrences of the notice (notice mode 1 or notice mode 2) after tilting (with a hitting action) ”, the appearance rate and the overall appearance rate of the big win are calculated as“ "Rate of appearance of big wins" A value referred to in the column of the rate. " Specifically, taking the appearance phenomenon of “reaching effect appears” as an example, the appearance rate of the effect that becomes a big hit is the fluctuation pattern that becomes a hit after performing either the normal reach or the reach effects A to C The total value of the appearance rate of 16 to 25 is 0.50% (≈0.01 + 0.20 + 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.05 + 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.03 + 0.05 + 0.10), and the overall appearance rate is normal reach regardless of the hit loss , The total value of the appearance rates of the fluctuation patterns 2 to 25 that perform any one of the reach effects A to C is 10.45% (≈4.98 + 0.40 + 0.30 + 0.30 + 1.00 + 0.50 + 0.40 + 0.10 + 1.00 + 0.10 + 0. 60 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.01 + 0.20 + 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.05 + 0.01 + 0.02 + 0. 3 + 0.05 + 0.10) and becomes.

And from the appearance rate (E) and the overall appearance rate (F) of the effect that becomes the big hit, the big hit reliability (G) for each appearance phenomenon is:
G (%) = (E / F) × 100
The respective jackpot reliability is calculated in the column of “big hit reliability” in FIG. The specific jackpot reliability is 4.78% when the “reach effect appears”, 23.90% when the “advance notice appears”, and “notification 1 appears” 14.35% in the case, 42.98% in the case where “notice mode 2 appears”, 16.74% in the case where “reach A effect appears”, and “reach B effect appears” When the “reach C effect appears”, it becomes 8.92%. When the “reach C effect appears,” it becomes 5.21%. In the case of an accessory appearing after an advance notice, it is 42.98%. That is, the reach effect A that always accompanies the operation of the movable member is set to have higher reliability than the reach effect B that does not accompany the operation of the movable member. In addition, the notification mode 2 that is an advanced operation has a higher reliability than the notification mode 1 that is a basic operation. Further, when the turning operation is performed after the advance notification operation is performed, the reliability is set higher (the highest reliability) than in other cases.

  Next, drive control of the movable members 21, 37, 38 in the various variation patterns 1 to 25 described above, in other words, drive patterns of the solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a (hereinafter referred to as solenoid patterns) will be described. The solenoid pattern is set to any one of the combinations 1 to 9 for each of the various variation patterns 1 to 25 as described in the column of “solenoid pattern” in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, combinations 1 to 9 serving as solenoid patterns are set by combinations of drive signal output patterns (any one of drive signal patterns 1 to 7) to solenoids 21 a, 37 a, and 38 a. The drive signal pattern is specifically a pattern as shown in FIG. FIG. 17A shows a drive signal pattern 1, and an OFF signal is continuously output for each of the movable members 21, 37, and 38. FIG.

  FIG. 17B shows the drive signal pattern 2. For the movable member 21, an OFF signal of 2800 ms is first output, and then a 300 ms ON signal, a 300 ms OFF signal, a 300 ms ON signal, and a 300 ms OFF signal are sequentially output. Output. On the other hand, for the movable members 37 and 38, an OFF signal of 2350 ms is output first, then an ON signal of 50 ms and an OFF signal of 50 ms are output alternately, and when the 50 ms ON signal is output for the fifth time, 300 ms. OFF signal, 300 ms ON signal, 300 ms OFF signal, and 300 ms ON signal are sequentially output.

  FIG. 17C shows the drive signal pattern 3, and for the movable member 21, an OFF signal of 500 ms is first output, then a 300 ms ON signal, a 300 ms OFF signal, a 300 ms ON signal, a 300 ms OFF signal, and a 300 ms OFF signal. ON signals are sequentially output. On the other hand, with respect to the movable members 37 and 38, an OFF signal of 50 ms and an ON signal of 50 ms are alternately output first, and when the 50 ms ON signal is output for the fifth time, a 300 ms OFF signal, a 300 ms ON signal, A 300 ms OFF signal, a 300 ms ON signal, and a 300 ms OFF signal are sequentially output. Similarly, for the drive signal patterns 4 to 7, output patterns of ON and OFF signals are set for each of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 by individual settings. The specific signal output patterns of the drive signal patterns 4 to 7 are omitted for convenience. As described above, in this embodiment, the drive signal pattern 1 for the case where the movable member is not operated is set, and the drive signal pattern is referred to in common when the movable member is operated and when the movable member is not operated. A program is used. For this reason, it is not necessary to prepare a program for control separately when the movable member is operated and when the movable member is not operated.

  Then, as shown in the list of FIG. 16, the combination 1 is a combination of only the drive signal pattern 1, and the OFF signal is continuously output, so that each movable member 21, 37, 38 does not operate. The combination 2 is a combination in which the drive signal pattern 3 (2 seconds) is performed after the drive signal pattern 2 (4 seconds). In combination 3, as in combination 2, drive signal pattern 2 (4 seconds) is followed by drive signal pattern 3 (2 seconds), and then drive signal pattern 1 (4 seconds) and drive signal pattern 4 (6 seconds) are sequentially applied. It is a combination to be performed. The combination 4 is a combination in which the drive signal pattern 1 (42 seconds) is followed by the drive signal pattern 5 (7 seconds). In combination 5, similarly to combination 2, drive signal pattern 2 (4 seconds) is followed by drive signal pattern 3 (2 seconds), and then drive signal pattern 1 (36 seconds) and drive signal pattern 5 (7 seconds) are sequentially applied. It is a combination to be performed. In combination 6, as in combination 3, drive signal pattern 2 (4 seconds), drive signal pattern 3 (2 seconds), drive signal pattern 1 (4 seconds), and drive signal pattern 4 (6 seconds) are sequentially performed and then driven. The signal pattern 1 (36 seconds) and the drive signal pattern 5 (7 seconds) are sequentially combined. The combination 7 is a combination in which the drive signal pattern 1 (22 seconds), the drive signal pattern 6 (4 seconds), and the drive signal pattern 7 (2 seconds) are sequentially performed. In combination 8, as in combination 7, drive signal pattern 1 (22 seconds), drive signal pattern 6 (4 seconds), and drive signal pattern 7 (2 seconds) are sequentially performed, and then drive signal pattern 6 (4 seconds) and drive are performed. This is a combination in which the signal pattern 7 (2 seconds) is sequentially performed. The combination 9 is the same as the combination 8 in the drive signal pattern 1 (22 seconds), the drive signal pattern 6 (4 seconds), the drive signal pattern 7 (2 seconds), the drive signal pattern 6 (4 seconds), and the drive signal pattern 7 ( 2 seconds), and then the drive signal pattern 6 (4 seconds) and the drive signal pattern 7 (2 seconds) are sequentially performed.

  In the combination of the drive signal patterns described above, the notice mode 1, which is a basic operation, is realized by sequentially outputting the drive signal pattern 2 and the drive signal pattern 3. On the other hand, in the advance notice mode 2, which is an extended operation, first, the drive signal pattern 2 and the drive signal pattern 3 are sequentially output in the same manner as the basic operation, and then the drive signal pattern 1 and the drive signal pattern 4 are sequentially output. Is realized. Therefore, in the basic operation and the development operation, the movable member is operated using a common drive signal pattern, and the data capacity for the drive signal pattern is compared with the case where the drive signal pattern is stored separately. Can be reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment (first embodiment), a plurality of types of notices by the movable member are set by setting a plurality of operation modes of the movable member (two types of notice mode 1 and notice mode 2). A plurality of types of notices by the movable member may be set by setting a plurality of operation timings of the movable member. Further, the mode of the notice operation (notice mode) is not limited to that described in the first embodiment (notice modes 1 and 2). Hereinafter, such a configuration will be described as a second embodiment with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19. However, in the following description, the notice mode is one type shown in FIG. 19, and the notice modes 1 and 2 are replaced with the operation timings 1 and 2, and other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment. For the sake of convenience, the description will be made with reference to FIGS. 7, 14, and 15.

  First, in the notice mode of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 in the second embodiment, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are stopped when the solenoids 21a, 37a, and 38a are stopped as shown in FIG. When the movable member 21 is in a state where the lower jaw portion 21b is closed), the drive signal of FIG. 18D is transmitted to the solenoid 21a, and the drive signal of FIG. 18E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. . The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a and each of the solenoids 37a and 38a is the same signal that repeats ON and OFF alternately at intervals of about 500 milliseconds. As a result, as shown in FIG. 18B, the movable member 21 imitating the face of the monster slowly moves the lower jaw portion 21b in the vertical direction (the monster slowly opens and closes its mouth, as if continuously) The doll-shaped movable members 37 and 38 repeat the operation of slowly swaying in the horizontal direction in synchronization with the vertical movement of the lower jaw portion 21b. When the transmission of the drive signal to each solenoid 21a, 37a, 38a is stopped, as shown in FIG. 18C, the movable members 21, 37, 38 are again stopped (the movable member 21 is the lower jaw portion 21b). Is closed).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the operation of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 in the second embodiment is as follows. First, there is no notice after the start of variable display of symbols, operation timing 1 (replacement of the notice mode 1 in FIG. 7). ) And operation timing 2 (replacement of the notice mode 2 in FIG. 7). When there is no prior notice, it is classified according to normal fluctuation (no reach), normal reach, reach production A, reach production B, and reach production C, and then in reach production C, it is classified according to the presence or absence of a rolling action by the movable members 21, 37, 38. Is done. On the other hand, in the operation timing 1, it is classified according to reach effect B and reach effect C, and then in reach effect C, it is classified according to the presence or absence of a rolling motion by the movable members 21, 37, 38. Further, in the operation timing 2, it is classified into a reach effect B and a reach effect C (having a rolling action).

  Next, specific operation timings 1 and 2 are as shown in FIG. Note that “a” to “e” in FIG. Specifically, “a” is a variation mode that gradually increases the variation rate, “b” is a variation mode that is a constant rate, “c” is a variation mode that gradually decreases the variation rate, and “d” "" Is an operation stop (symbol fluctuation stop), and "e" is a symbol reach variation mode. Further, FIG. 18 illustrates a case where the reach variation is performed after the advance notice operation of the movable members 21, 37, 38, but the reach change is not necessarily performed after the advance notice operation.

  At the operation timing 1, as shown in FIG. 19A, when there is a start winning, the left, middle, and right symbols start to change in the change mode a at a time, and then change to the change mode b after a predetermined time. Then, as soon as the left, middle, and right symbols are switched to the variation mode b, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 start operating (described as operating in the same figure). Thereafter, the left symbol is first switched to the variation mode c, and after a predetermined time, the variation becomes d and the symbol variation stops. At the same time as the fluctuation of the left symbol is stopped, each movable member 21, 37, 38 stops its operation, and the right symbol is switched to the fluctuation mode c. After that, the right symbol stops at the same symbol as the left symbol after a predetermined time (variation mode d), and at this point, the left and right stop symbols are aligned with the same symbol (the reach symbol is displayed). It becomes a state. Then, the middle symbol is changed in a change mode e that changes reach after a predetermined time from the display of the reach symbol, and then the change is made to the change mode c to derive a display result.

  At the operation timing 2, as shown in FIG. 19B, when there is a start winning, the left, middle and right symbols start to change in the change mode a at the same time, and then change to the change mode b after a predetermined time. Moreover, each movable member 21, 37, 38 starts operation (described as “actuation” in the drawing) simultaneously with the start of symbol variation, and stops operation in the middle of variation mode b. Thereafter, the left symbol is first switched to the variation mode c, and after a predetermined time, the variation becomes d and the symbol variation stops. Simultaneously with the fluctuation stop of the left symbol, the right symbol is switched to the variation mode c, and after a predetermined time, the variation stops at the same symbol as the left symbol (variation mode d). That is, at this time, the left and right stop symbols are aligned with the same symbol (the reach symbol is displayed), and the reach state is reached. After that, the middle symbol is changed in a change mode e in which reach change occurs after a predetermined time from the display of the reach symbol, and then the display mode is derived by switching to the change mode c.

  The operation timing is not limited to the operation timings 1 and 2 described above. For example, the operation timing shown in FIG. In the operation timing shown in FIG. 19C, when there is a start winning, the left, middle, and right symbols start to change in the change mode a at a time, and then change to the change mode b after a predetermined time. Thereafter, the left symbol is first switched to the variation mode c, and after a predetermined time, the variation becomes d and the symbol variation stops. Each of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 starts operation (described as “actuation” in the drawing) in the middle of the variation pattern c of the left symbol. The right symbol is switched to the variation mode c at the same time as the variation of the left symbol is stopped, and after a predetermined time, the variation stops at the same symbol as the left symbol (variation mode d). That is, at this time, the left and right stop symbols are aligned with the same symbol (the reach symbol is displayed), and the reach state is reached. Then, the middle symbol is changed in a change mode e that changes reach after a predetermined time from the display of the reach symbol, and then the change is made to the change mode c to derive a display result. Moreover, each movable member 21, 37, 38 stops the operation at the same time when the middle symbol is switched to the variation mode e. In addition, the reliability is set high in the configuration in which the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are operated at a timing close to the timing at which the display mode of the special symbol display device 9 becomes a predetermined display mode (reach symbol). Also good. In such a case, the player can keep a sense of expectation until just before.

  Next, the jackpot reliability according to the operation mode of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the appearance rate for each of the symbol variation patterns 1 to 25 is set to a numerical value shown in the “appearance rate” column of FIG. 14 as in the first embodiment. However, in the variation pattern in FIG. 14, the variation pattern 8 is a case where the reach effect B is performed after performing the advance notice at the operation timing 1 (replacement of the advance notice mode 1 in FIG. 14) and −1 is lost. The variation pattern 9 is a case where the reach effect B is performed after the advance notice (replacement of the advance notice mode 2 in FIG. 14) is performed at the operation timing 2 and −1 is lost. The variation pattern 13 is a case where a reach effect C without a turn operation is performed after the advance notice is made at the operation timing 1 and −1 is lost. The variation pattern 14 is a case where the reach effect C with the turning motion is performed after the advance notice at the operation timing 1 and −1 is lost. The variation pattern 15 is a case where the reach effect C with the turning operation is performed after the advance notice is given at the operation timing 2 and −1 is lost. The variation pattern 19 is a case where the reach effect B is performed after the advance notice is given at the operation timing 1 and the winning is made. The variation pattern 20 is a case where the reach effect B is performed after the advance notice is given at the operation timing 2 and the winning is made. The variation pattern 23 is a case in which a reach effect C without a scolding motion is performed after the advance notice is given at the operation timing 1 and a win is made. The variation pattern 24 is a case in which a reach effect C with a turning operation is performed after the advance notice is made at the operation timing 1 and a win is made. The variation pattern 25 is a case in which a reach effect C with a turning operation is performed after a preliminary announcement is made at the operation timing 2 and a win is made.

  Then, based on the appearance rates of the various variation patterns 1 to 25 described above, the jackpot reliability for each of the various appearance phenomena is the numerical setting shown in the “big hit reliability” column of FIG. 15 as in the first embodiment. Become. The specific jackpot reliability is 4.78% when the “reach effect appears”, and 23.23 when the advance notice (any one of the operation timings 1 and 2) appears. 90%, and 14.35% when “notice of operation timing 1 (replacement of notice mode 1 in FIG. 15)” appears, “notice of operation timing 2 (replacement of notice mode 2 in FIG. 15) ) When notice mode 2 appears ", it becomes 42.98%, when" reach A effect appears ", it becomes 16.74%, and when" reach B effect appears "it becomes 4.78%. When “Reach C production appears”, it becomes 8.92%, and when “Reach C production appears,” it becomes 5.21%. 42.98 if "appears" To become. In the second embodiment, a plurality of types of notifications by the movable member are provided by setting only a plurality of types of operation timings of the notifications. However, a plurality of types of operation modes (for example, notification modes 1 in the first embodiment) are provided. , 2), the content of the notice may be varied according to the type of operation mode and the operation timing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the solenoids 21, 37a, and 38a, which are electrical drive sources for the movable members 21, 37, and 38, are driven and controlled by the solenoid circuit 76. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. . For example, as shown in the third embodiment of FIG. 20, the driving of each solenoid 21, 37a, 38a may be controlled by a lamp control board 59 'that controls the game effect LED 42 and the like. In other words, the drive control means according to the present invention may be configured from a lamp control board. By doing so, the operation control of each movable member 21, 37, 38 can be performed more closely with the lighting / flashing control of various lamps / LEDs (the deviation from the control of the lamps / LEDs can be reduced as much as possible). ). The other solenoids 16, 26, 30 are driven and controlled by a solenoid circuit 76 '. Further, according to the configuration of the third embodiment, the signal output means for testing the operation of each movable member 21, 37, 38 is provided as a test signal output portion 90 'in the lamp control board 59'.

  In the above-described embodiment (first embodiment), one type of development operation (notification mode 2) is set as a development type for the basic operation (preliminary mode 1). The contents of development may be set more variously. For example, the operation mode shown in the fourth embodiment of FIG. 21 may be additionally set as another type of development operation (notification mode 2 '). In the notice mode 2 ′, first, as shown in FIG. 21A, the movable members 21, 37, 38 are stopped when the solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a are stopped (the movable member 21 closes the lower jaw portion 21b). 21D is transmitted to the solenoid 21a, and the drive signal of FIG. 21E is transmitted to the solenoids 37a and 38a. The drive signal transmitted to the solenoid 21a is a signal that first repeats a 300 ms ON signal twice after a predetermined interval, and then repeats a 300 ms ON signal three times after a predetermined interval, as in the notice mode 2. Then, after a predetermined interval (the same interval as the notice mode 2) is set, an ON signal having an ON time shorter than the notice mode 2 is output. On the other hand, the drive signal transmitted to each solenoid 37a, 38a is the same signal as in the notice mode 2.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG. 21 (B), the movable member 21 imitating the face of the monster moves the lower chin portion 21b in the vertical direction (the action of the monster opening and closing its mouth as if to bark). The doll-shaped movable members 37, 38 continuously perform a combination of a horizontal swinging motion and a slow horizontal swinging motion. Then, after the movement of the movable members 21, 37, 38 is temporarily stopped, as shown in FIG. 21C, only the movable member 21 moves the lower jaw portion 21b downward for a certain time (a time shorter than the notice mode 2). (The movement of the monster opening its mouth wide and closing it). In other words, in the fourth embodiment, by changing the operation mode incidental to the basic operation in the expansion operation, a plurality of types of expansion operations are provided by additionally setting a notification mode 2 'different from the notification mode 2. It should be noted that another type of development operation may be set by making the operation mode incidental after the basic operation the same while making the incidental timing different. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of developing into the development operation. Further, in such a configuration in which a plurality of types of development operations are set, the reliability of the notice may be different for each type. For example, the reliability of the notice mode 2 ′ in which the monster (movable member 21) opens the mouth and closes it is set lower than the reliability of the notice mode 2 in which the monster opens the mouth. Also good. By comprising in this way, a player's expectation can be varied for each of a plurality of types of development operations. Furthermore, you may make it light the accessory decoration lamps 33a and 33b which consist of multicolor LED according to operation | movement of the movable member 21. FIG. For example, the accessory decoration lamps 33a and 33b arranged in the mouth may be turned on when the monster performs an operation of opening the mouth wide. In this case, a plurality of types of lighting modes of the accessory decoration lamps 33a and 33b may be set, and the reliability of the big hit may be different for each of the plurality of types of lighting modes. By doing so, the player's attention to the movable member can be further increased.

  In the above-described embodiment, the advance notice is performed only by the operation of the movable member. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, a notice to be performed only by displaying characters on the display device may be provided. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling lost in expectation when the movable member does not operate. By making the advance notice by the movable member and the advance notice by the display device appear appropriately, the player can play a clear game. Moreover, although the movable member is a doll's face or a doll shape, it is not limited to this. Moreover, although the drive source of the movable member is a solenoid, the present invention is not limited to this, and a motor or the like may be used as the drive source. Further, the operation of the movable member is not limited to the operation described in the embodiment, and may be rotation or vibration. However, the movable effect device according to the present invention is an effect device excluding a drum display and a variable winning ball device.

  Further, the movable member may be operated as an effect during the big hit. For example, the movable member 21 may be operated in small increments while the special prize opening is open (during round), and the movable member 21 may be operated during the interval. Furthermore, the movable member may be operated even while the end of the big hit is displayed (for example, during the display of the character “Manekane” at the end of the big hit).

  Further, the ball game machine 1 in the embodiment gives a player a predetermined game value when the stop symbol of the special symbol variably displayed on the special symbol display device 9 based on the start winning is a combination of the predetermined symbols. The first type bullet ball game machine that can be used, but the second type bullet that can be given a predetermined game value to the player if there is a winning in a predetermined area of the electric game that is released based on the start winning A third type in which a predetermined right is generated or continued when there is a prize for a predetermined electric combination that is released when a stop symbol of a symbol variably displayed based on a ball game machine or a start winning combination becomes a predetermined symbol combination The present invention can be applied even to a ball game machine.

  Further, in the embodiment, the special symbol display device 9 as the image display device is configured by a liquid crystal (LCD) type display, but is not particularly limited to this, and is not limited to this, CRT, LED, VFD, EL, Or you may comprise an image display apparatus with the display by plasma.

  In addition, in the variable display device, the symbols other than the symbol that becomes the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol of the left, middle, and right symbols) are stopped and shaken in a state where the symbols continuously match the specific display mode for a predetermined time. It can be a big hit before the final result is displayed because it is moving, scaling, or deforming, or multiple symbols change synchronously with the same symbol, or the position of the displayed symbol is switched. A state where the sex is continued is called a reach state, and an effect performed in this reach state is called a reach effect.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are provided as movable effect means provided at locations where the player can visually recognize the operation and used for the effects of the game. 21, 37, and 38 are a notification operation (notification mode 1 and 2) for notifying that the display mode of the special symbol display device 9 becomes a predetermined display mode, and the display mode of the special symbol display device 9 is reach display. It is possible to perform an effect operation by a reach effect operation that operates according to a plurality of types of reach effect displays (reach effects A to C) that are selectively performed when it becomes an aspect. It can be executed both when the display mode of the display device 9 is the predetermined display mode and when the display mode of the special symbol display device 9 is not the predetermined display mode, and the notice notification operation is performed. After that, a plurality of types are determined so that the display mode of the special symbol display device 9 becomes the predetermined display mode, and the reach operation of the plurality of types of reach effect display is always performed by the reach effect operation. It includes a type of reach effect display (reach effect A) and a type of reach effect display (reach effect B) that cannot be performed by the reach effect operation. By configuring in this way, the degree of expectation can be varied according to the type of notice notification operation by the movable members 21, 37, and 38, so that the notice by the movable members 21, 37, and 38 can be diversified. As a result, it can invite an improvement in the interests of the game.

  In the embodiment, the contents of the notice are different as in the notice mode 1 (reach notice) and the notice form 2 (big hit notice). Even in such a case, the notice form 1 can be regarded as a big hit notice. As a result, the notice mode 1 and the notice mode 2 are regarded as a plurality of types of notice notification operations having different jackpot reliability (expected degree).

  Further, the identification information according to the claims of the present invention is not limited to the symbols in the present embodiment, but also includes characters used for presentation on the screen of the variable display device. For example, when displaying a horse racing race screen and playing a game that is a big hit if a particular racehorse wins, the character of the racehorse is also the identification information.

  In addition, the movable effect device is not limited to a position that is always visible to the player. For example, when it is not operating, it is hidden behind the decorative member of the variable display device, and can be visually recognized by the operation. It may be something that moves.

  In addition, in this claim, the degree of expectation is made different in a plurality of types of notification notification operations. However, in the case where three or more types of operations are set as such a plurality of types of notification notification operations, However, it is not always necessary that the reliability in all the notice notification operations be different, and if at least one of them has a different expectation from the other notice notification operations, the same effect as the effect of the present claim can be obtained. obtain.

  The predetermined display mode is a jackpot symbol as a specific display mode. By configuring in this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a predetermined game value is given (a specific game state is generated) by the operation of the movable members 21, 37, and 38.

  The predetermined display mode is a reach design as a reach display mode. By configuring in this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for reaching by the operation of the movable members 21, 37, and 38.

  The notice notification operation includes an operation that operates in accordance with the display content of the special symbol display device 9 (for example, an operation in which the movable member 21 imitating the face of a monster crushes an egg image). By comprising in this way, operation | movement of a movable member can be made more interesting.

  The movable member includes a plurality of movable members 21, 37, and 38, and the notice notification operation is an operation based on a combination of operations in the plurality of movable members 21, 37, and 38. With this configuration, attention can be paid to the operation combinations of a plurality of movable members, and the operations of the movable members can be varied.

  Further, the number of movable members that operate in accordance with the type of the notification operation is changed. With this configuration, the operation of the movable member can be varied.

  The advance notice operation includes an operation in which the plurality of movable members 21, 37, and 38 respond to each other. With this configuration, the operation of the movable member can be varied.

  Further, the notice notification operation includes at least a notice notification operation based on a basic operation (notice mode 1) and a notice notification operation based on a development operation in which a further operation is performed after the basic operation is performed (notification mode 2). To do. By configuring in this way, it is possible to give the player enjoyment of whether or not the operation of the movable member is developed.

  Note that the development operation in the notice notification operation may be an operation in which a further operation is performed after performing some operation as a basic operation with respect to a basic operation set separately. In the present embodiment, the basic operation set separately and the basic operation performed in the development operation have the same data for performing the operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the player recognizes that the basic operation set separately and the basic operation performed in the development operation are the same in appearance, even if the data to operate is different, this case The same effects as the claims can be achieved.

  Also, the type of reach effect display (reach effect A) in which the effect operation by the reach effect operation is always executed is compared with the type of reach effect display (reach effect B) in which the effect operation by the reach effect operation cannot be executed. Thus, after the reach effect display, the degree of expectation that the big hit symbol is derived as the display result is increased. By configuring in this way, it is possible to give the player an impression that the big hit symbol is easily derived when the movable member is operated, and as a result, the player can have a sense of expectation with respect to the operation of the movable member.

  In addition, the reach effect display with the highest expectation degree that the jackpot symbol is derived as the display result after the reach effect display among the plurality of reach effect displays is the reach effect of the type in which the effect operation by the reach effect operation is always executed. It is a display. By configuring in this way, it is possible to give the player an impression that a big hit symbol is easily derived when the movable member is operated, and as a result, the player can have a higher expectation for the operation of the movable member. .

  In addition, the plurality of types of reach effect display can be performed when the effect operation by the reach effect operation is executed (when there is a turn operation) and when the effect operation by the reach effect operation is not executed (when there is no turn operation). It includes a certain type of reach effect display (reach effect C). With this configuration, a variety of effects can be performed even in one type of reach effect.

  In addition, an external connection means (for example, a connector) for outputting a signal indicating that the movable member is operating to the outside can be mounted. With this configuration, when testing the operation of the movable member, the test can be easily performed.

  Further, solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a as electric drive sources for operating the movable members 21, 37, 38 and drive control means for controlling transmission of drive signals for driving the solenoids 21a, 37a, 38a. The solenoid circuit 76 executes drive signal transmission control based on predetermined drive signal pattern data, and does not transmit a drive signal when the movable member is not operated. Drive signal transmission control is executed using the drive signal pattern data (drive signal pattern 1) stored therein. With this configuration, it is possible to share the drive control processing of the movable members 21, 37, and 38 when the movable members 21, 37, and 38 are operated, and data that is necessary for control. Capacity can be reduced.

In addition, there are the following as inventions that can be grasped from the embodiment described above.
