The symbol game means performs a process of variably stopping the identification element and the announcement element alternately from the identification element so that the three identification elements are provisionally out of combination and the three announcement elements are effective combinations. . This process is executed when the variable information selection means selects each of the first variable information for jackpot and the second variable information for loss, and the combination of provisional loss is determined by the variable information selection means. The identification symbol setting means sets the selection based on the selection of the first variable information for jackpot and the second variable information for loss. This symbol game means that when all of the three identification elements and the three notice elements are stopped, the combination of the three identification elements is changed from a combination of temporary loss to a combination of big hits or combinations of big hits. The player is informed that it is determined that it is not determined or a big hit.
2. Description of the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 1 When the game ball enters the start opening, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit. For example, when it is determined to be a big hit, variable information is selected from a plurality of pieces of variable information for big hits, a plurality of identification elements are set as a big hit combination, and a plurality of notice elements are valid combinations or invalid combinations Set to When it is determined that it is not a big hit, variable information is selected from a plurality of variable information for losing, a plurality of identification elements are set to a combination of losing, and a plurality of notice elements are set to a valid combination or an invalid combination. Is done.

When a game ball enters the starting port, a picture of the symbol game is displayed on the symbol display. The image of this symbol game displays each of three identification elements and three notice elements in a variable state. (1) Identification element (2) Notice element (3) Identification element (4) Notice element (5) Identification element ( 6) Stop and display in the order of the notice elements, and the three identification elements will be either a jackpot combination or a combination out of combination when the stop order of the last identification element is displayed. Is either a valid combination or an invalid combination when the notice element whose stop order is final is stopped and displayed. The image of the symbol game is displayed with the production contents corresponding to the selection result of the variable information. For example, when the first variable information for jackpot is selected, 3 is displayed when the final identification element is stopped and displayed. The three notice elements become a combination of provisional detachment, and the three notice elements become a valid combination based on the fact that the final notice element is stopped and displayed after the three identification elements become a combination of provisional detachment. As a result, the combination of the three identification elements is changed from the temporary combination to the jackpot combination, and the player is notified from the combination of the three identification elements that the jackpot has been determined. In addition, when the second variable information for detachment is selected, when the final identification element is stopped and displayed, the three identification elements become a temporary detachment combination, and the three identification elements become a tentative detachment combination. After the final notice element is stopped and displayed, the three notice elements become an effective combination. Then, the combination of the three identification elements is changed from the combination of temporary losing to the combination of losing, and the player is notified from the combination of the three identification elements that the jackpot has not been determined.
3. Description of the effect of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 1 The three identification elements and the three notification elements are (1) identification element (2) notification element (3) identification element (4) notification element (5) identification element (6) Stopped display in order of notice elements.

It is possible to accurately generate an image of a symbol game that can give a player an opportunity to expect the elements to be a combination of reach. The reach combination of identification elements is a combination that visually leaves the possibility that the three identification elements will become jackpot combinations based on the last (5) identification element being stopped and displayed. The reach combination is a combination that visually leaves the possibility that the three (6) notice elements will become a jackpot combination based on the last (6) notice element being stopped and displayed.

Even when the last (5) identification element is stopped and displayed, the combination of the three identification elements is out of place. Since the combination of the three identification elements may be changed from the out-of-combination combination to the jackpot combination, (2) the notice element and (4) the notice element is a reach combination (5) identification It is possible to wait for the last (6) notice element to be stopped and displayed in the hope that the three notice elements will be an effective combination even after the elements are displayed and stopped. For this reason, since it becomes possible to enjoy the video of the symbol game without losing the expectation until the final (6) notice element is stopped and displayed, the symbol that can maintain the player's expectation for a long time. It is possible to accurately generate game images.
4). Description of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2 In the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2, there is a possibility that the identification symbol setting means may be a jackpot combination in a state where the three identification elements are variably stopped. When the design game means suspends each of the two identification elements and the two warning elements, the display positions of the three identification elements and the three warning elements are displayed. It is characterized in that processing for switching display positions is performed. Both of these processes are executed when the variable information selection means selects each of the first variable information for jackpot and the second variable information for loss, and (3) When the identification element is variably stopped (1) Identification element and (3) When the identification element is not a reach combination (4) When the notice element is variably stopped (2) The notice element and (4) The notice element is a reach combination The display positions of the three identification elements and the display positions of the three notice elements are interchanged with each other, and (5) the identification element and (6) the notice element are variably stopped in order. (5) When the identification elements are variably stopped, the three identification elements are tentatively removed. (6) When the notification elements are variably stopped, the three notification elements are valid combinations. When the element becomes an effective combination, the combination of the three identification elements is changed from the temporary losing combination to the jackpot combination or losing combination. For this reason, the player's eyes concentrate on the final (5) notice element based on the display position of the three identification elements and the display position of the three notice elements being interchanged in the reach state of the notice element. It is possible to increase the expectation of the player who waits for the three notice elements to be an effective combination.

It is done by changing it. The variation display of the symbol elements in each column is started in time synchronization with the start of the variation of the special symbol, and the symbol elements in the left column are the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbols in the right column. Fluctuation is stopped at any one of “1” to “8” among the symbol elements, and the symbol elements on the right column are the second “1” to “8” among the symbol elements on the left column to the right column. The symbol element in the middle row stops changing at any one of “1” to “8” among the symbol elements in the left column to the right column.

  The symbol elements in the left column, the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column constitute a decorative symbol, and the combination of decorative symbols is a combination of a probable big hit, a combination of a normal big hit, and a combination of outliers. There are four types of combinations that are completely out of place. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the probability variation jackpot combination refers to a combination in which the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbol elements in the right column are the same odd number. Four types of combinations "111", "333", "555", and "777" are set for the big hit combination. As shown in FIG. 4C, the normal jackpot combination refers to a combination in which the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbol elements in the right column are the same even number. Four types of combinations "222", "444", "666", and "888" are set for the big hit combination. As shown in FIG. 4 (d), the combination of outreach is that the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column are the same, and the symbol element in the middle column is the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column. Different combinations are referred to, and combinations that are completely out of order are combinations in which the symbol elements in the left column and the symbol elements in the right column are different from each other, as shown in FIG. When the out symbol is stopped and displayed in a special symbol game, this decorative symbol will stop variably in either the combination of complete disengagement or the disengagement reach, and the normal jackpot symbol will stop in the special symbol game. When it is displayed, it finally stops changing with a combination of normal jackpots, and when a special variable game is stopped and displayed with special symbol games, it finally stops changing with a combination of positive jackpots.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the upper left notice area Ly to the right notice area Ry are set to have the same size and contour shape. Each of the left notice area Ly to the right notice area Ry is set to be smaller than the left change area Lm to the right change area Rm, and in the decorative design game, the left notice area Ly to the right notice area Ry are notified in advance. The elements are displayed in order in the variable state and the variable stop state.

  FIG. 5D shows the types of notice elements in the left column displayed in the left notice area Ly in the decorative symbol game. Three types of “head A”, “head B”, and “head C” are set for the notice elements in the left column, and the change display of the notice elements in the left column indicates the order of the notice elements in a predetermined order “ It is performed by cyclically changing in the order of “head A” → “head B” → “head C” → “head A”. FIG. 5 (e) shows the types of middle row notice elements displayed in the middle notice area Cy in the decorative symbol game. Three types of “body A”, “body B”, and “body C” are set for the notice elements in the middle row, and the change display of the notice elements in the middle row indicates the order of the notice elements in a predetermined order “ It is performed by cyclically changing in the order of “body A” → “body B” → “body C” → “body A”. (F) of FIG. 5 shows the types of the right notice elements displayed in the right notice area Ry in the decorative symbol game. Three types of “leg A”, “leg B”, and “leg C” are set for the notice element in the right column, and the change display of the notice element in the right column is performed in a predetermined order “ It is performed by cyclically changing in the order of “leg A” → “leg B” → “leg C” → “leg A”.

  The change display of the notice element in each column starts in synchronization with the start of the change of the special symbol and the start of change of the decorative design. The notice element in the left column is the notice element in the left column and the middle column. Among the notice elements in the right column and the notice elements in the right column, the fluctuation stops first in any of “Head A” to “Head C”, and the notice element in the right column is the notice element in the left column to the notice element in the right column Among them, the second row of the body A is stopped at any one of “Body A” to “Body C”, and the middle row of the notice elements is the left row of the notice elements to the right row of the notice elements of the third row “Leg A”. ”To“ Leg C ”. The fluctuation stop timing of the left column notice element is set immediately after the left column symbol element fluctuation stop timing, and the right column notice element fluctuation stop timing is set immediately after the right column symbol element fluctuation stop timing. The change stop timing of the notice element in the middle row is set immediately after the change stop timing of the symbol element in the middle row, and the symbol element in the left column to the symbol element in the right column and the notice element in the left column to the notice in the right column The change stop order of the elements is as follows: (1) Symbol elements in the left column (2) Notice elements in the left column (3) Symbol elements in the right column (4) Right column The notification element (5) in the middle row is set in the order of the notification elements in the middle row (6).

  In FIG. 6A, the notice element in the left column stops variably at “head A”, the notice element in the middle line stops variably at “body A”, and the notice element in the right column is “leg part A”. The image when the fluctuation is stopped is shown. In this case, one notice symbol A completed from the combination of the notice element “head A”, the notice element “body A”, and the notice element “leg A” is displayed. That is, each of the notice element “head A”, the notice element “body A”, and the notice element “leg A” is set by dividing one notice symbol A into three equal parts.

To do. In step S269, the decorative symbol game stop flag in the flag storage unit 152 is reset to an off state, and the decorative symbol game stop process in step S270 is executed.
[13-3-1] Decoration Symbol Game Start Processing Each of FIGS. 49 and 50 shows details of the decoration symbol game start processing in step S264, and the CPU 71 changes from the command storage unit 151 in step S281 in FIG. The reception result of the start command is detected, and the EXT data is detected from the detection result of the fluctuation start command. In step S282, the process data table of FIG. 14 is detected from the ROM 72, and a process data number corresponding to the detection result of the EXT data is selected from the process data table. Next, the process proceeds to step S283 in FIG. 49, and process data corresponding to the selection result of the process data number is selected from the process data table in FIG.

  49, when the process data is selected in step S283 of FIG. 49, the initial value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 72 is set in the variable time timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 153 in step S284. In step S285, the decorative design game video data table shown in FIG. 20 is detected from the ROM 72, and a video data number corresponding to the process data number selection result is selected from the video data table. Next, the process proceeds to step S286 in FIG. 49, and the selection result of the video data number is transmitted to the display control circuit 80. When the display control circuit 80 receives the selection result of the video data number, the display control circuit 80 selects the video data for the decoration symbol game corresponding to the reception result of the video data number from the VROM, and develops the selection result of the video data in the RAM.

  When the CPU 71 transmits the selection result of the video data number in step S286, the CPU 71 detects the reception result of the symbol information command from the command storage unit 151 in step S287. Then, the process proceeds to step S288, and it is determined whether or not the detection result of the symbol information command is a probable big hit. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9000 (h)”, it is determined that the probability variation big hit is made, and the decorative symbol is set to the combination of the probability variation big hit in the probability variation big hit symbol setting processing in step S289. Next, the process proceeds to step S 290, and the setting result of the probability variation big hit symbol combination is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155.

  FIG. 51 shows details of the probability variation jackpot symbol setting process in step S289. The CPU 71 detects the probability variation jackpot symbol table in FIG. 23A from the ROM 72 in step S331. In step S332 of FIG. 51, the measurement result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154, and the process proceeds to step S333. Here, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the probability variation big hit symbol table, and each of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column is set as a selection result of the symbol element. The decorative design is set to a combination of probable big hits. For example, when the detection result of the random counter SR1 is “200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and the symbol element of each column is set to “7”, so that the decorative symbol is set to the combination “777” for the probability variation jackpot. Then, the decorative symbol is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 with the combination “777” of the probability variation big hit.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S288 of FIG. 49 that the detection result of the symbol information command is not a probability change big hit symbol, the CPU 71 determines in step S291 whether the detection result of the symbol information command is a normal big hit symbol. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9001 (h)”, it is determined that the symbol is a normal jackpot symbol, and the decorative symbol is set to a combination of a normal jackpot in the normal jackpot symbol setting process in step S292. Then, the process proceeds to step S293, and the setting result of the normal jackpot combination is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155.

  FIG. 52 shows details of the normal jackpot symbol setting process in step S292, and the CPU 71 detects the normal jackpot symbol table in FIG. 23B from the ROM 72 in step S341. Then, in step S342 in FIG. 52, the measurement result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154, and the process proceeds to step S343. Here, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the normal jackpot symbol table, and each of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column is set as the selection result of the symbol element. The decoration pattern is usually set to a big hit combination. For example, when the detection result of the random counter SR1 is “200”, the symbol element “8” is selected, and the symbol element of each column is set to “8”, so that the decorative symbol is normally set to the combination “888” of the big hit Then, the decorative symbols are recorded in the determined symbol storage unit 155 as a normal jackpot combination “888”.

  When CPU 71 determines in step S291 in FIG. 49 that the detection result of the symbol information command is not a normal big hit symbol, CPU 71 detects the reception result of the change start command from command storage unit 151 in step S294. Then, in step S295, the EXT data is detected from the detection result of the fluctuation start command, and the detection result of the EXT data is determined as a detach reach determination value “10 (h)” “20 (h)” “30 (h) ) ”And“ 40 (h) ”. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the EXT data is the same as any of the outlier reach determination values “10 (h)” to “40 (h)”, the process proceeds to the outlier reach symbol setting process in step S296, and the decorative symbol is displayed. Is set to the combination of outreach. Then, the process proceeds to step S297, and the setting result of the outreach combination is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155.

  FIG. 53 shows the details of the outreach symbol setting process in step S296. The CPU 71 detects the reach symbol table in FIG. 23C from the ROM 72 in step S351, and from the ROM 72 in FIG. 53 to step S352. (A) of the unreachable symbol table is detected. 53. In step S353 of FIG. 53, the measurement result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154. In step S354, the symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the reach symbol table. Each of the symbol elements in the right column is set as a common symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR1 = 200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column are set to a common “7”.

  When the CPU 71 sets each of the symbol elements in the left column and the right column in step S354, the CPU 71 detects the measurement result of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S355. In step S356, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the unreached symbol table, and the symbol element in the middle row is set as the symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR2 = 50”, the symbol element “3” is selected, and the symbol element in the middle row is set to “3”.

  When the CPU 71 sets the symbol elements in the middle row in step S356 of FIG. 53, the process proceeds to step S357. Here, the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column is compared with the setting result of the symbol element in the left column, and when it is determined that they are different, the process proceeds to step 297 in FIG. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “7” and the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column is “8”, the decorative symbol is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 with the combination of “787”.

  When CPU 71 determines in step S357 of FIG. 53 that the setting result of the middle row symbol elements and the setting result of the left row symbol elements are the same, in step 358, the middle row symbol elements are set in step S356. Change to the symbol element next to the symbol element. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column and the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column are “8”, the symbol element in the middle column is changed to “1” next to “8”, and the fixed symbol storage unit In 155, the decorative symbol is recorded as a combination “818” of the detachment reach.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S295 in FIG. 49 that the detection result of the EXT data is different from any of the outlier reach determination values “10 (h)” to “40 (h)”, the complete out symbol setting in step S298 is performed. Proceed to processing, and set the decorative pattern to a completely out of combination. Then, the process proceeds to step S299, and the setting result of the completely out of combination is recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155.

  FIG. 54 shows details of the complete out symbol setting process in step S298. The CPU 71 detects the left symbol table in FIG. 23D from the ROM 72 in step S361, and from the ROM 72 in FIG. 54 in step S362. The middle symbol table of (b) is detected, and the right symbol table of FIG. 25 is detected from the ROM 72 in step S363 of FIG. 54. In step S364 of FIG. 54, the measurement result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154. In step S365, the symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the left symbol table, and the symbol element in the left column is selected. Set to. For example, when “SR1 = 200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and the symbol element in the left column is set to “7”.

  When the CPU 71 sets the symbol elements in the left column in step S365, the CPU 71 detects the measurement result of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S366. In step S367, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the medium symbol table, and the symbol element in the middle row is set as the symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR2 = 100”, the symbol element “5” is selected, and the symbol element in the middle row is set to “5”.

  When the CPU 71 sets the middle row of symbol elements in step S367, the CPU 71 detects the measurement result of the random counter SR3 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S368. In step S369, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR3 is selected from the right symbol table, and the symbol element in the right column is set as the symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR3 = 50”, the symbol element “6” is selected, and the symbol element in the right column is set to “6”.

  When the CPU 71 sets the symbol elements in the right column in step S369, the CPU 71 proceeds to step S370. Here, the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is compared with the setting result of the symbol element in the right column, and when it is determined that they are different, the process proceeds to step 299 in FIG. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “8”, the setting result of the symbol element in the right column is “7”, and the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column is “1”, the decoration symbol is stored in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. Is recorded as a completely out-of-combination combination “817”.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S370 in FIG. 54 that the setting result of the left column symbol element and the right column symbol element setting result are the same, the CPU 71 sets the right column symbol element in step S369. Change to the symbol element next to the symbol element. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “8”, the setting result of the symbol element in the right column is “8”, and the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column is “1”, the symbol element in the right column is “8”. To the next “1”, and the decoration symbol is recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 with the combination “811” that is completely off.

  When the CPU 71 sets the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 in any of step S290, step S293, step S297, and step S299 in FIG. 49, whether or not the process data setting result is process data # 00 in step S300 in FIG. Judging. As shown in FIG. 59, this process data # 00 is to stop the change of the notice symbol in an incomplete combination, and the CPU 71 sets the process data in step S300 in FIG. When it is determined that it is 00, the process proceeds to the notice symbol setting process 1 in step S301. In step S301, the notice symbol setting process 1 sets the notice symbol to an incomplete combination, and in step S302, the result of setting the incomplete combination is recorded in the notice symbol storage unit 157.

  FIG. 55 shows the details of the notice symbol setting process 1 in step S301. The CPU 71 detects the incomplete left symbol table in FIG. 26C from the ROM 72 in step S381, and from the ROM 72 in step S382 in FIG. The incomplete symbol table in FIG. 27 is detected, and the incomplete right symbol table in FIG. 28 is detected from the ROM 72 in step S383 in FIG. 55. In step S384 of FIG. 55, the measurement result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154. In step S385, the left-hand notice pattern element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the unfinished left symbol table. . For example, when “SR1 = 200”, the notice element “head C” in the left column is selected.

  When the CPU 71 selects the notice element in the left column in step S385, the CPU 71 detects the measurement result of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S386. Then, the process proceeds to step S387, and the middle row notice element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the incomplete symbol table. For example, when “SR2 = 100”, the notice element “body B” in the middle row is selected.

  When the CPU 71 selects the notice element in the middle row in step S387, the CPU 71 detects the measurement result of the random counter SR3 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S388. Then, the process proceeds to step S389, and the notice element in the right column corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR3 is selected from the incomplete right symbol table. For example, when “SR3 = 50”, the notice element “leg C” in the right column is selected.

  When the CPU 71 selects the notice element in the right column in step S389, it determines in step S390 whether the selection result of the notice element in the left column and the selection result of the symbol element in the right column are a combination just before completion. Here, when it is determined that the combination is not just before completion, the routine proceeds to step 302 in FIG. For example, when the selection result of the notice element in the left column is “head A”, the selection result of the notice element in the right column is “leg C”, and the selection result of the notice element in the middle column is “body A”, the left column It is determined that the selection result of the previous notice element and the selection result of the right notice element in the right column are not the combination immediately before completion, and the combination “head A trunk A leg C is not completed in the notice symbol storage unit 157. Is recorded.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S390 in FIG. 55 that the selection result of the left column notification element and the selection item of the right column notification element is a combination immediately before completion, the right column notification element is selected in step S389 in step S391. Change to the next notice element of the notice element. For example, when the selection result of the notification element in the left column is “head C”, the setting result of the notification element in the right column is “leg C”, and the setting result of the notification element in the middle column is “body A”, the left column It is determined that the selection result of the previous notice element and the selection result of the right notice element in the right column are a combination immediately before completion. In this case, the selection result of the notice element in the right column is changed to “leg part A” next to “leg part C”, and the combination “head C trunk part A in which the notice symbol is not completed in the notice symbol storage part 157 is changed. Recorded in leg A ”.

  When CPU 71 determines in step S300 in FIG. 50 that the process data setting result is not process data # 00, CPU 71 determines in step S303 whether or not the process data setting result is process data # 01. As shown in FIG. 59, this process data # 01 is used to stop the change of the notice symbol by the combination of collapse of the completion, and the CPU 71 confirms that the process data setting result is process data # 01 in step S303 of FIG. Is determined, the process proceeds to the notice symbol setting process 2 in step S304. In step S304, the notice symbol setting process 2 sets the notice symbol as a combination of completion failure. In step S305, the result of setting the combination of completion failure is recorded in the notice symbol storage unit 157.

  FIG. 56 shows the details of the notice symbol setting process 2 in step S304. The CPU 71 detects the completed broken symbol table in FIG. 27 incomplete symbol tables are detected. 56. In step S403 of FIG. 56, the measurement result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154. In step S404, the notice pattern element in the left column and the right column in accordance with the detection result of the random counter SR1 are detected from the completed collapsed symbol table. Select each of the notice elements. For example, when “SR1 = 100”, the notice element “head B” in the left column and the notice element “leg B” in the right column are selected.

  When the CPU 71 selects the notice element in the left column and the notice element in the right column in step S404, the CPU 71 detects the measurement result of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S405. Then, the process proceeds to step S406, and the middle row notice element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the incomplete symbol table. For example, when “SR2 = 150”, the notice element “body C” in the middle row is selected.

  If the CPU 71 selects the notice element in the middle row in step S406, the process proceeds to step S407. Here, it is determined whether the selection result of the notice element in the left column, the selection result of the notice element in the middle column, and the selection result of the notice element in the right column are a combination of completion. When it is determined that it is not necessary, the routine proceeds to step 305 in FIG. For example, when the selection result of the notice element in the left row is “head A”, the choice result of the notice element in the right column is “leg A”, and the selection result of the notice element in the middle row is “body B”, three parties Is determined not to be a completed combination, and the notice symbol storage unit 157 records the notice symbol as a combination “head A trunk B leg A”.
