For example, when the execution of the special symbol fluctuation display is held once, the special symbol hold lamp 34a is turned on.

  Below the normal symbol display 33, normal symbol holding lamps 50a to 50d are provided. The normal symbol hold lamps 50a to 50d display the number of executions of fluctuation display of the normal symbols that are held by turning on or off (so-called “hold number”, “hold number related to normal symbols”). Similar to the special symbol, when the execution of the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is held once, the normal symbol holding lamp 50a is turned on.

  On the right side of the special symbol indicator 35, round number indicators 51a to 51d are provided. The round number indicators 51a to 51d display the maximum number of rounds during the execution of the jackpot game. The round number indicators 51a to 51d are composed of four dot LEDs, and there are two patterns of lighting and extinguishing for each dot LED, so that at least 16 patterns can be displayed (4 of 2). Squared pattern). The round number display device may be composed of a plurality of 7-segment LEDs, a liquid crystal display unit, a transmissive liquid crystal display unit, and the like.

  Further, in the rotating reel device 500, the symbol related to the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display 35 is stopped and displayed. For example, during the special symbol change display displayed on the special symbol display 35, the rotary reel device 500 rotates, and various symbols as shown in FIG. In addition, the special symbol that has been variably displayed on the special symbol display 35 is stopped and displayed, and various symbols are also stopped and displayed on the rotary reel device 500.

  When a special number symbol is stopped and displayed as a special symbol on the special symbol display 35, an effect image for notifying the player that the game is a big hit is displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32. Specifically, when a specific numeric symbol is stopped and displayed as a special symbol on the special symbol display 35, a combination of identification information for presentation that is stopped and displayed on the rotary reel device 500 is a specific display mode (for example, , “7-7-7” and the like are all displayed in a state where all the same symbols are aligned), and in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32, the character image such as “Big hit! A character image or the like that appears is displayed.

  Then, when the slot game execution lottery is won, a slot game (described later) is executed in which the identification information variably displayed in the variability display area 501 is stopped by the operation of the operation button 80 by the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the two guide rails 30 (30a and 30b), the passage gate 54, the obstacle 57, the starting port 25, the shutter 40, the big winning port 39, the ordinary electric accessory 48, and the general winning port 56a. , 56b, 56c, 56d and the like are provided on the game area 15 of the game board 14.

  An obstacle 57 is provided on the upper part of the game board 14. The guide rail 30 provided on the left side of the game board 14 includes an outer rail 30a that partitions (defines) the game area 15 and an inner rail 30b disposed inside the outer rail 30a. The launched game ball is guided by a guide rail 30 provided on the game board 14 and moves to the upper part of the game board 14, and the plurality of game nails 13 and the obstacles provided on the game board 14 described above. Due to the collision with 57 etc., it flows down toward the lower side of the game board 14 while changing its traveling direction.

  A start port 25 is provided on the left side of the approximate center of the game board 14, and the start port 25 is provided with an ordinary electric accessory (may be referred to as an ordinary electric combination for short). The ordinary electric accessory 48 includes a pair of opposed blade members and an ordinary electric member solenoid 118 (see FIG. 6) that opens and closes the blade member. When the blade member is closed, it is possible to enter the start port 25 only from above the blade member, and when it is open, it is possible to enter the start port 25 from above and from the left and right of the blade member. Thus, the game ball can easily enter the start opening 25. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid 118 (see FIG. 6) is driven and controlled by the main CPU 66.

  A winning area is provided in the start opening 25 described above. This winning area includes a start winning ball sensor 116 (see FIG. 6). When a game medium such as a game ball is detected by the start winning ball sensor 116, it is determined that the game ball has won. When the game ball wins, the special symbol display by the special symbol display 35 is started. Also, if a game ball wins during the special symbol variation display, the special symbol variation display based on the winning of the game ball at the start port 25 is executed until the special symbol being varied is stopped and displayed. Deferred. Thereafter, when the special symbol that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed, the variably displayed suspended special symbol is started. Note that an upper limit is set for the number of times the execution of the special symbol variable display is suspended. For example, the special symbol variable display is suspended up to four times.

  In addition, as another condition (start of variable display of a predetermined special symbol), the special symbol is stopped and displayed. That is, every time a predetermined special symbol variable display start condition is satisfied, the special symbol variable display is started.

  A passing gate 54 is provided above the starting port 25 on the left side in the approximate center of the game board 14. The passing gate 54 is provided with a passing ball sensor 114 (see FIG. 6). The passing ball sensor 114 detects that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 54. When the passing of the game ball is detected by the passing ball sensor 114, the normal symbol display is started on the normal symbol display 33, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the normal symbol change display is stopped. As described above, this normal symbol is a light emitting display of a red LED or a green LED.

  When the normal symbol is stopped and displayed as a predetermined light emission display, for example, a red LED, the blade member of the normal electric accessory 48 provided at the start port 25 is changed from the closed state to the open state, and a game ball is placed at the start port 25. Easy to enter. In addition, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the blade member is opened, the blade member is closed to make it difficult for the game ball to enter the start opening 25. As described above, a game in which a normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner and then stopped and the open / closed state of the blade member varies depending on the result is referred to as a “normal symbol game”.

  Similarly to the special symbol variation display, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 54 during the normal symbol variation display, the normal symbol in the variation display is stopped until the normal symbol is stopped. The execution of the normal symbol variation display based on the passage of the game ball is suspended. After that, when the normal symbol that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed, the variably displayed normal symbol that has been suspended is started.

  The big prize opening 39 is provided with a shutter 40 that can be opened and closed in front of it. The shutter 40 is driven so as to be in an open state in which it is easy to accept a game ball when a special numerical symbol is stopped and displayed as a special symbol on the special symbol indicator 35 and the gaming state is shifted to the jackpot gaming state. . As a result, the special winning opening 39 is in an open state where it is easy to accept a game ball.

  On the other hand, the special winning opening 39 has a general area (not shown) having a count sensor 104 (see FIG. 6), and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls pass through the general area, or for a predetermined time. The shutter 40 is driven to the open state until (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. When a condition for winning a predetermined number of game balls in the grand prize opening 39 or elapse of a predetermined time is satisfied in the open state, the shutter 40 is driven so as to be in a closed state in which it is difficult to accept the game balls. . As a result, the special winning opening 39 is in a closed state where it is difficult to accept a game ball. A game from the open state in which the special winning opening 39 is in a state where it is easy to accept the game ball to the closed state in which the special winning opening 39 is in a state in which it is difficult to receive the game ball is referred to as a round game. Accordingly, the shutter 40 is opened during the round game and is closed between the round games. A round game is counted as the number of rounds such as “1” round and “2” round. For example, the first round game may be referred to as the first round and the second round as the second round.

  Subsequently, the shutter 40 driven from the open state to the closed state is driven to the open state again after a predetermined interval time has elapsed. That is, when a predetermined interval time elapses after the round game ends, the game can continue to the next round game. A game from the first round game until the end of the (final) round game that cannot continue to the next round game is called a jackpot game.

  During the execution of the jackpot game, the number of rounds from the first round to the last round game (maximum number of continuous rounds) varies depending on the special symbols that are stopped and displayed. For example, when the number symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 35 is “64”, the maximum number of continuation rounds is 15 rounds, the gaming state after the jackpot game is over, and the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is the normal state The probability variation state is relatively higher than that (see FIG. 7). When the number symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 35 is “11”, the maximum number of continuous rounds is 15 rounds, and the gaming state becomes the normal state after the big hit game is over. When the number symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 35 is “50”, the maximum number of continuous rounds is two rounds, and the gaming state becomes a probabilistic state after the jackpot game is over. When the number symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 35 is “21”, the maximum number of continuous rounds is two rounds, and the gaming state becomes a probabilistic state after the jackpot game is over. The maximum number of continuous rounds is not limited to 2 rounds or 15 rounds.

In this process, the main CPU 66 has a value (02) indicating that the control state flag indicates special symbol display time management, and whether or not the lottery for shifting to the special gaming state is won when the waiting time after determination has elapsed. Judging. In the case of winning, the main CPU 66 sets a value (03) indicating the jackpot game start interval management in the control state flag, and sets a time corresponding to the special game start interval (for example, 10 seconds) in the waiting time timer. That is, after the time corresponding to the special game start interval elapses, the process of step S75 is set to be executed. On the other hand, when not winning, the main CPU 66 sets a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S81. If this process ends, the process moves to step S75.

  In step S77, a waiting time management process before reopening the big winning opening is executed. In this processing, the main CPU 66 sets the special winning opening opening number counter when the control status flag is a value (06) indicating the waiting time management before the big winning opening reopening and the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed. The memory is updated so that “1” is increased. The main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating that the special winning opening is open in the control state flag. The main CPU 66 sets an opening upper limit time (for example, 30 seconds) in the big prize opening time timer. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S78. If this process ends, the process moves to step S78.

The main CPU 66 sets the special ball remaining ball monitoring time (for example, 1 second) in the waiting time timer. That is, it is set so that the process of step S79 is executed after the winning ball residual ball monitoring time has elapsed. Note that the main CPU 66 does not execute the above-described processing when none of the conditions is satisfied. If this process ends, the process moves to step S79.

In this process, the main CPU 66 has a value (05) indicating that the control state flag indicates monitoring of the winning ball in the winning prize mouth, and the count sensor 104 corresponding to the winning prize port 39 when the remaining winning ball in the winning prize mouth monitoring time has elapsed. It is determined whether or not a condition that the game ball has not passed through or a condition that the special winning opening opening number counter is a predetermined number or more (the final round) is satisfied. When any of the conditions is satisfied, the main CPU 66 sets a value (07) indicating the jackpot game end interval in the control state flag, and sets a time corresponding to the jackpot game end interval in the waiting time timer. That is, after the time corresponding to the jackpot game end interval elapses, the setting of step S80 is executed.

  On the other hand, when neither condition is satisfied, the main CPU 66 sets a value (06) indicating the waiting time management before reopening of the big winning opening to the control state flag. Further, the main CPU 66 updates the storage so that “1” is subtracted from the round number display counter stored in the main RAM 70. Further, the main CPU 66 sets a time corresponding to the interval between rounds in the waiting time timer. That is, after the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed, the setting of step S78 is performed. If this process ends, the process moves to step S80.

  In step S80, a jackpot game end interval process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 sets a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game when the control state flag is a value (07) indicating the jackpot game end interval and the time corresponding to the jackpot game end interval has elapsed. Set to control status flag. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S81.

  In step S81, a special symbol game end process is executed. In this process, when the control state flag is a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game, the main CPU 66 decreases the data indicating the number of reserved pieces related to the special symbol related to the current special symbol game by “1”. Update the memory. Further, the main CPU 66 sets data indicating a start memory number designation command indicating that the start memory information is decreased by “1” in a predetermined storage area in the main RAM 70. Then, the main CPU 66 updates the special symbol storage area in order to perform the next fluctuation display. The main CPU 66 sets a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check. That is, it is set to execute the process of step S72.

  As described above, the special symbol game is executed by setting the control state flag. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the main CPU 66 sets the control status flag to “00”, “01”, “02”, when the result of the jackpot determination is not in the special gaming state. By setting “08” in order, the processing of step S72, step S73, step S74, and step S81 shown in FIG. 22 is executed at a predetermined timing.

  Further, when the main CPU 66 is not in the special gaming state and the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, the main CPU 66 sets the control state flags in order of “00”, “01”, “02”, “03”, The processing of step S72, step S73, step S74, and step S75 shown in FIG. 22 is executed at a predetermined timing, and control to the special gaming state is executed.

The process of step S79 and step S77 is executed at a predetermined timing, and a special game is executed. When the jackpot game end condition is satisfied, “04”, “05”, “07”, “08” are set in this order, so that the processing from step S78 to step S81 shown in FIG. It will be executed at the timing and the special game will end.

  Further, in this embodiment, there was no passing of a game ball to a specific area until a predetermined time elapses (Punk, in this embodiment, one ball is also played in the special winning opening 39 during the special game. It is also a jackpot game ending condition that the round game of the maximum number of consecutive rounds (in this embodiment, “15” rounds or “2” rounds) is finished).

  In step S110, a process of setting a variation time corresponding to the determined variation pattern for production in a waiting time timer is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 reads the variation time corresponding to the effect variation pattern determined by the process of step S109 from the table, and stores a value indicating the variation time in the waiting time timer. Then, a process of clearing the storage area in which the jackpot determination random number value used for the current variation display is stored is executed (step S111). When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In step S112, a demonstration display process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 stores a variable for supplying a demonstration display command to the sub control circuit 200 in the main RAM 70 in order to perform a demonstration display.

Amplified and output from the speaker 46. If this process ends, the process moves to step S138.

  In step S138, lamp control processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 transmits data for lighting the lamp to the drive circuit 240. The drive circuit 240 reads various lighting pattern data from the decoration data ROM 244 based on the data for lighting the lamp from the sub CPU 206 and lights the lamp 132. If this process ends, the process returns to step S132.

[Sub control command reception interrupt processing]
Next, the sub control command reception interrupt process will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S161, a process for saving the register is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of saving the program being executed stored in each register (storage area). If this process ends, the process moves to step S162.

  In step S162, processing for storing the input command in the reception buffer is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of storing the input command in the reception buffer area of the work RAM 210. In this process, the stored command is analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to step S163.

  In step S163, processing for restoring the register is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for restoring the program saved in step S161 to each register. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Moving object control processing]
Next, the movable body control process shown in step S134 of FIG. 24 will be described using FIG.

  In step S151, it is determined whether or not a slot game execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. 24, and determines that the slot game execution command has been received. The process proceeds to step S152, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S152, the timing flag F1 is set. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a timing flag F1 at the time when the slot game execution command is received in the work RAM 210 (see FIG. 6), thereby setting a reference for the elapsed time thereafter. If this process ends, the process moves to step S153.

  In step S153, it is determined whether the eye guidance execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an eye pressing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guide execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S154. If the eye guide execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S159.

  In step S154, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (A). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (A) shown in FIG. 18 and determines the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18A, in the case of performing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 70%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 25%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 5%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S155.

  In step S155, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S154 is obtained. Specifically, by controlling the electromagnetic solenoid 609 shown in FIG. 10, the movable piece 610 contacting the tip of the output shaft of the electromagnetic solenoid 609 is rotated, and the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is changed. , Set to one of the upper, middle and lower positions. If this process ends, the process moves to step S156.

  In step S156, guide guidance by the movable body 701 is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 displays the symbol “DON” (any one of No. 13 and No. 15 shown in FIG. 9) among the symbols written on the left reel 510 a of the rotary reel device 500 shown in FIG. 8. Is controlled so that the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 comes to the lower stage (so that the pipe 701a is swung down) in accordance with the timing at which appears in the front area. That is, it is set so that one cycle of the left rotating reel 510a and the cycle of the operation of swinging down the pipe 701a coincide, and the symbol “DON” appears in the front area at the moment when the pipe 701a is swung down. For this reason, the movable body 701 operates in the order of (a) → (b) → (c) → (d) shown in FIG. Therefore, the player can easily take the timing when the “DON” symbol appears while observing the operation of the pipe 701a, and easily perform the operation of stopping the “DON” symbol, that is, pushing the eye. Will be able to. If this process ends, the process moves to step S157.

  In step S157, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the left rotating reel 510a is stopped. If it is stopped, the process proceeds to step S158.

  In step S <b> 158, the sub CPU 206 ends the eye-push guidance operation by the movable body 701. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  On the other hand, in step S159, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (B). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (B) shown in FIG. 18 to determine the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18B, in the case of executing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 5%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 35%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 60%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S160.

  In step S160, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S159 is obtained. The specific process is the same as the process of step S155. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  If the winning guidance execution lottery is won by the above processing, the probability that the pipe 701a is at the upper position is high, and then the guiding guidance is executed. On the other hand, when the eye guidance lottery is not won, there is a high probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position, and thereafter, the eye guidance is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to infer whether or not the guide guidance is subsequently executed based on the position of the pipe 701a when the movable body 701 appears.

[Display control processing]
Next, the display control process shown in step S135 of FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S171, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command is received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. 24, and determines that the slot game execution command is received. In this case, the process proceeds to step S172, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S172, the sub CPU 206 recognizes that the timing flag F1 is set in the process of step S152 of FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to step S173.

  In step S173, the sub CPU 206 sets the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 on the front side of the movable body 701 in a transmissive display state when the timing flag F1 is set. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the movable body 701 provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display device 32 and stored in the storage frame 700. If this process ends, the process moves to step S174.

  In step S174, it is determined whether an eye guidance execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an eye pressing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guidance execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S175. If the eye guidance execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S176.

  In step S175, a process of lighting the gauge lamp 600 in synchronization with the rotation of the left rotating reel 510a is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 synchronizes the lighting and extinguishing of the 10-frame gauge lamp displayed in the display area 32a on the side of the rotating reel device 500 in synchronization with the “DON” symbol on the left rotating reel 510a. Control to change. That is, each frame of the gauge lamp 600 is turned on sequentially from the lower side, and after all of them are turned on, the light emitting area moves up and down by repeating the operation of turning off the light sequentially from the upper side. Since it synchronizes with the rotation of the left rotation reel 510a, the player can easily push the eye by looking at the gauge lamp 600.

  In step S176, it is determined whether or not the slot game has ended. In this process, after the slot game is executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the three operation buttons 80a, 80b, and 80c are pressed to stop the rotary reels 510a, 510b, and 510c. If it is determined that the slot game has ended, the process proceeds to step S177.

  In step S <b> 177, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for setting the area on the front side of the movable body 701 (movable body front area) to the normal display state. As a result, the movable body 701 is concealed by the liquid crystal display device 32, and the movable body 701 becomes invisible. If this process ends, the process moves to step S178.

  In step S178, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the successful pressing flag is present. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines that there is an eye pressing success flag when the eye pressing success flag is set in step S220 of FIG. Then, if the eye pressing success flag exists, the process proceeds to step S179, and if the eye pressing success flag does not exist, this subroutine ends.

  In step S179, processing for displaying a QR code on the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 is executed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 displays the QR code P2 and the character image P1 above the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 as shown in FIG. The QR code P2 includes various information related to the game hall or the gaming machine 10, and the player can acquire advantageous information about the game by acquiring the QR code P2. Further, as will be described later, since the QR code P2 is displayed when the hit is successful, the player is strongly interested in executing the slot game in an attempt to obtain the QR code P2. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Rotating reel control processing]
Next, the rotating reel control process shown in step S136 of FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG. In step S191, a variable display process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of starting the rotation of the rotary reel device 500 based on a command from the main control circuit 60. If this process ends, the process moves to step S192.

  In step S192, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not a jackpot command has been received from the main control circuit 60 in the command analysis control process in step S133 of FIG. If it is determined that the jackpot command has been received, the process proceeds to step S193. If it is not determined that the jackpot command has been received, the process proceeds to step S194.

  In step S193, jackpot stop display processing is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 determines the rotary reels so that the identification symbols of the rotary reels 510a, 510b, 510c of the rotary reel device 500 are in the big hit stop mode (for example, 7-7-7 for blue, red, and white). Processing for controlling the apparatus 500 is performed. The jackpot stop display process will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S195.

  In step S194, a disconnection stop display process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of controlling the rotary reel device 500 so that the identification symbols of the rotary reels 510a, 510b, 510c of the rotary reel device 500 are in a stoppage state. The miss stop display process will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S195.

  In step S195, standby processing is performed. In this process, when the sub CPU 206 stops the rotating reels 510a, 510b, 510c by the operation of the operation button 80 by the player, the effect time of the effect content determined in step S133 in FIG. 24 remains. In addition, a process is performed in which the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c are kept in a stopped state and a standby state is performed while displaying minute shaking until the production time elapses. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Big hit stop display process]
The jackpot stop display process shown in step S193 of FIG. 28 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S201, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the operation button 80 has been operated. If it is determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S202. If it is not determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S203.

  In step S202, a rotating reel stop process is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 determines that the rotation reel 510a is pressed when the left operation button 80a is pressed, and the rotation reel 510b is pressed when the right operation button 80c is pressed when the middle operation button 80b is pressed. In that case, a process of stopping the rotating reel 510c is performed. When this process ends, the process proceeds to step S203.

  In step S203, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not there is a rotating reel among the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c. If it is determined that there is a rotating reel, the process proceeds to step S205. If it is not determined that there is a rotating reel that is rotating, the process proceeds to step S204.

  In step S204, standby processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 stops using the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c until the time limit is reached when all the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c stop before the time limit monitored in the process of step S205. A process of waiting while maintaining the aspect is performed. If this process ends, the process moves to step S207.

  In step S205, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the time since the rotation of the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c is within the time limit. If it is determined that the time is within the time limit, the process proceeds to step S201. If it is not determined that the time is within the time limit, the process proceeds to step S206.

  In step S206, a rotating reel stop process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of stopping all the rotating reels 510a, 510b, 510c that are rotating. If the time limit is exceeded while all the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c are rotating, the reels may be stopped in a big hit stop mode. If this process ends, the process moves to step S207.

  In step S207, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the stop display mode of the rotary reel device 500 is the big hit stop mode. If it is determined that the big hit stop mode is set, this subroutine is terminated. If it is not determined that the jackpot stop mode is set, the process proceeds to step S208.

  In step S208, re-variation processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of rotating the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c again. If this process ends, the process proceeds to step S209.

  In step S209, a rotating reel stop process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of stopping the rotary reels 510a, 510b, and 510c so that the stop mode of the rotary reels 510a, 510b, and 510c is a big hit stop mode. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot lottery is won in the main control circuit 60 and the slot game is executed, the rotary reels 510a, 510b, 510c are operated by operating the operation buttons 80 by the player. There is a case where it is not possible to stop so as to be a jackpot stop mode. In such a case, the rotary reels 510a, 510b, and 510c are changed again, and the drive control is performed so that the big hit stop mode is automatically set.

[Outgoing stop display processing]
Next, the detachment stop display process shown in step S194 of FIG. 28 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S211, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the operation button 80 has been operated. If it is determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S212. If it is not determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S213.

  In step S212, rotating reel stop processing is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 determines that the rotation reel 510a is pressed when the left operation button 80a is pressed, and the rotation reel 510b is pressed when the right operation button 80c is pressed when the middle operation button 80b is pressed. In that case, a process of stopping the rotating reel 510c is performed. If this process ends, the process moves to step S213.

  In step S213, the sub CPU 206 determines whether there is a rotating reel that is rotating among the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c. If it is determined that there is a rotating reel, the process proceeds to step S214. If it is not determined that there is a rotating reel, the process proceeds to step S216.

  In step S214, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the time since the rotation of the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c is within the time limit. If it is determined that the time is within the time limit, the process proceeds to step S211. If it is not determined that the time is within the time limit, the process proceeds to step S215.

  In step S215, a rotating reel stop process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of stopping all the rotating reels 510a, 510b, 510c that are rotating. In addition, when the time limit is exceeded in a state where all the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c are rotating, the reels may be stopped in a stoppage manner. If this process ends, the process moves to step S216.

  In step S <b> 216, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not a stop operation has been performed at the timing when the jackpot stop mode is set. If it is determined that it is the timing for the big hit stop mode, the process proceeds to step S217. If it is not determined that the timing is the big hit stop mode, the process proceeds to step S219.

  In step S217, rotating reel stop processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 shifts and stops the symbol for stopping the last one rotating reel by one frame so that the combination of symbols when the rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c are stopped does not become a big hit stop mode. I do. That is, in this embodiment, although the big hit lottery in the main control circuit 60 is not won, the operation is performed at a timing when the rotating reels 510a, 510b, 510c are in the big hit stop mode by the operation of the operation button 80 by the player. When the button 80 is operated, the last rotating reel that is rotating is driven and controlled so as to be forcedly stopped. If this process ends, the process moves to step S218.

  In step S218, standby processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a stop mode by the rotating reels 510a, 510b, 510c until the time limit is reached when all the rotating reels 510a, 510b, 510c are stopped before the time limit monitored in step S214. Perform the process of waiting while maintaining. If this process ends, the process moves to step S219.

  In step S219, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the stopped rotating reels 510a, 510b, and 510c are stopped in a manner in which desired symbols are aligned. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the vehicle has been stopped in the “DON-DON-DON” stop mode. And when it stops by said stop aspect, a process is transferred to step S220, and when not stopping by said stop aspect, this subroutine is complete | finished.

  In step S <b> 220, the sub CPU 206 sets a target pressing success flag and stores it in the work RAM 210. The success flag is used in the process of step S178 in FIG. 27 and is used as a condition for determining whether or not to display a QR code. That is, the player presses the operation buttons 80 to stop the rotary reels 510a, 510b, and 510c, and when the player successfully presses the button, as shown in FIG. The symbols “DON-DON” are aligned and the QR code P2 is displayed. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the slot game is executed, the display area 32a (movable body front area) of the liquid crystal display device 32 on the front side of the movable body 701 is displayed. ) Is in a transmissive display state, and a movable body 701 provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display device 32 appears. That is, the movable body 701 becomes visible from the player side. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player that the display area 32a is transparently displayed and the movable body 701 appears.

  Further, when the slot game is executed, the eye guide execution lottery for determining whether or not the eye guide by the movable body 701 is executed is performed, and depending on whether or not the eye guide execution lottery is won. Thus, the movable mode of the movable body 701 when the movable body 701 appears is changed. In other words, if the winning guide execution lottery is won, the probability that the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is in the upper position is increased, and conversely, if the winning guide execution lottery is not won, The probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position is increased. Therefore, it is possible to make the player infer whether or not the guide guidance is executed according to the position of the pipe 701a when the movable body 701 appears (according to the movable mode of the movable body 701). An interest can be given to the movable mode of the movable body 701.

  Further, when a specific symbol (for example, “DON”) can be aligned by executing the slot game, the QR code P2 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, so that the player is given a slot. You can have a strong interest in running the game.

[First Modification of First Embodiment]
Next, a first modification of the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above will be described. In the first modified example, the movable body control process described in step S134 of FIG. 24 is different from the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the movable body control process according to the first modification will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[Movable body control process of first modification]
In step S231, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. 24, and determines that the slot game execution command has been received. The process proceeds to step S232, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S232, the timing flag F1 is set. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a timing flag F1 at the time when the slot game execution command is received in the work RAM 210 (see FIG. 6), thereby setting a reference for the elapsed time thereafter. If this process ends, the process moves to step S233.

  In step S233, it is determined whether an eye guidance execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an eye pressing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guidance execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S234, and if the eye guidance execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S240.

  In step S234, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (A). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (A) shown in FIG. 18 and determines the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18A, in the case of performing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 70%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 25%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 5%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S235.

  In step S235, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not 1 second has elapsed since the setting of the timing flag F1, and if 1 second has elapsed (if within a predetermined time), the process proceeds to step S236. Migrate processing.

  In step S236, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so as to be in the movable mode determined in the process of step S234. Specifically, by controlling the electromagnetic solenoid 609 shown in FIG. 10, the movable piece 610 contacting the tip of the output shaft of the electromagnetic solenoid 609 is rotated, and the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is changed. , Set to one of the upper, middle and lower positions. If this process ends, the process moves to step S237.

  In step S237, guide guidance by the movable body 701 is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 displays the symbol “DON” (any one of No. 13 and No. 15 shown in FIG. 9) among the symbols written on the left reel 510 a of the rotary reel device 500 shown in FIG. 8. Is controlled so that the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 comes to the lower stage (so that the pipe 701a is swung down) in accordance with the timing at which appears in the front area. That is, it is set so that one cycle of the left rotating reel 510a and the cycle of the operation of swinging down the pipe 701a coincide, and the symbol “DON” appears in the front area at the moment when the pipe 701a is swung down. For this reason, the movable body 701 operates in the order of (a) → (b) → (c) → (d) shown in FIG. Therefore, the player can easily take the timing when the “DON” symbol appears while observing the operation of the pipe 701a, and easily perform the operation of stopping the “DON” symbol, that is, pushing the eye. Will be able to. If this process ends, the process moves to step S238.

  In step S238, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the left rotating reel 510a has stopped. If it has stopped, the sub CPU 206 shifts the processing to step S239.

  In step S239, the sub CPU 206 ends the eye-pushing guidance operation by the movable body 701. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  On the other hand, in step S240, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (B). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (B) shown in FIG. 18 to determine the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18B, in the case of executing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 5%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 35%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 60%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S241.

  In step S241, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not 3 seconds have elapsed since the setting of the timing flag F1. If 3 seconds have elapsed, the sub CPU 206 shifts the processing to step S242.

  In step S242, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S240 is obtained. The specific process is the same as the process of step S236. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, in the first modified example, when the winning guidance execution lottery is won, the probability that the pipe 701a is in the upper position is high, and then the guiding guidance is executed. On the other hand, when the eye guidance lottery is not won, there is a high probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position, and thereafter, the eye guidance is not executed. In addition, when the winning guidance execution lottery is won, the pipe 701a is moved one second after the movable body 701 appears. On the other hand, when the winning guide execution lottery is not won, the movable body 701 appears. 3 seconds after that, the pipe 701a moves. Therefore, it is possible to make the player infer whether or not the eye-push guidance is executed based on the elapsed time from when the slot game is executed and the movable body 701 appears until the movable body 701 moves. In addition, it is possible to give an impact due to the appearance of the movable body 701 and to have a stronger interest in the operation of the movable body 701.

[Second Modification of First Embodiment]
Next, a second modification of the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above will be described. In the second modified example, the movable body control process described in step S134 of FIG. 24 is different from the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the movable body control processing according to the second modification will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[Movable body control process of second modification]
In step S251, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. 24, and determines that the slot game execution command has been received. The process proceeds to step S252, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S252, the timing flag F1 is set. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a timing flag F1 at the time when the slot game execution command is received in the work RAM 210 (see FIG. 6), thereby setting a reference for the elapsed time thereafter. If this process ends, the process moves to step S253.

  In step S253, it is determined whether an eye guidance execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an eye pressing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guide execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S254. If the eye guide execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S260.

  In step S254, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (A). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (A) shown in FIG. 18 and determines the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18A, in the case of performing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 70%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 25%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 5%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S255.

  In step S255, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so as to be in the movable mode determined in the process of step S254. Specifically, by controlling the electromagnetic solenoid 609 shown in FIG. 10, the movable piece 610 contacting the tip of the output shaft of the electromagnetic solenoid 609 is rotated, and the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is changed. , Set to one of the upper, middle and lower positions. If this process ends, the process moves to step S256.

  In step S <b> 256, a process for determining the difficulty level of the guide guidance is executed based on the movable mode of the movable body 701. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines the correspondence table (difficulty level table) shown in FIG. 19 depending on whether the movable form of the movable body 701 determined in the process of step S254 is the upper stage, the middle stage, or the lower stage. ) To set the difficulty level of the guide guidance. Specifically, when the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage, the difficulty level of the guide guidance is “level 1”, and when the position of the pipe 701a is in the middle stage, the difficulty level of the guide guidance is Is “level 2”, and the level of difficulty of the guide guidance is set to “level 3” when the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage. Here, the level of difficulty of the guide guidance is set so that the level 3 has the highest level of difficulty, the next level is the level 2, and the level 1 has the lowest level of difficulty.

  Hereinafter, a specific difficulty level will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the pushing guide by the movable body 701 is operated by gradually lifting the pipe 701a on the right hand of the movable body 701 and then swinging down the pipe 701a as shown in FIG. The timing at which a desired symbol (for example, “DON”) appears on the front side is notified. Here, at level 1 where the difficulty level is the lowest, the movable body 701 operates in synchronization with the rotation period T of the rotary reel device 500. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the reel rotation period T shown in FIG. 14 (a) coincides with the operation period of the movable body 701, and the timing when the “DON” symbol appears, Control is performed so that the timing of (d) coincides.

  Further, at level 2, the movable body 701 operates at a cycle of 2T that is twice the rotation cycle T of the rotary reel device 500. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), 2T, which is twice the rotation period T of the reel shown in FIG. 14 (a), coincides with the operation cycle of the movable body 701, and the “DON” symbol is displayed twice. Control is performed so that the timing of appearance coincides with the timing shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, at level 3, which is the most difficult level, the movable body 701 operates at a cycle of 3T, which is three times the rotation cycle T of the rotary reel device 500. That is, as shown in FIG. 14D, 3T, which is three times the rotation period T of the reel shown in FIG. 14A, coincides with the operation period of the movable body 701, and the “DON” symbol is displayed three times. Control is performed so that the timing of appearance coincides with the timing shown in FIG.

  Then, in the process of step S256 of FIG. 32, the difficulty level of the eye guidance is determined as described above. If this process ends, the process moves to step S257.

  In step S257, guide guidance by the movable body 701 is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 moves the movable body 701 at the difficulty level determined in the process of step S256. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S258.

  In step S258, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the left rotating reel 510a has stopped. If it has stopped, the sub CPU 206 shifts the processing to step S259.

  In step S <b> 259, the sub CPU 206 ends the eye pressing guidance operation by the movable body 701. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  On the other hand, in step S260, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (B). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (B) shown in FIG. 18 to determine the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18B, in the case of executing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 5%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 35%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 60%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S261.

  In step S261, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so as to be in the movable mode determined in the process of step S260. The specific process is the same as the process of step S255. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, in the second modification, when the eye guidance guidance lottery is won, the probability that the pipe 701a is in the upper position is high, and then the eye guidance is executed. On the other hand, when the eye guidance lottery is not won, there is a high probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position, and thereafter, the eye guidance is not executed. In addition, when the eye guidance guidance lottery is won, the difficulty level of the eye guidance performed thereafter is changed according to the movable mode of the movable body 701. Accordingly, it is possible to cause the player to infer whether or not the eye guide is executed according to the movable mode of the movable body 701 when the movable body 701 appears, and the eye guide is executed. In this case, since the difficulty level of the guide guidance is changed according to the movable mode, it is possible to make the player strongly interested in the movable mode when the movable body 701 appears. it can.

[Third Modification of First Embodiment]
Next, a third modification of the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above will be described. In the third modified example, the movable body control process described in step S134 of FIG. 24 is different from the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the movable body control process according to the third modification will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[Movable body control process of third modification]
In step S271, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. 24, and determines that the slot game execution command has been received. The process proceeds to step S272, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S272, the timing flag F1 is set. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a timing flag F1 at the time when the slot game execution command is received in the work RAM 210 (see FIG. 6), thereby setting a reference for the elapsed time thereafter. If this process ends, the process moves to step S273.

  In step S273, it is determined whether the eye guidance execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an eye pressing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guide execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S274, and if the eye guide execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S280.

  In step S274, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (C). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on (C) of the probability table shown in FIG. 18, and determines the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18C, in the case of executing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 70%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 30%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 0%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage is increased. Further, the position of the pipe 701a does not become the lower stage. If this process ends, the process moves to step S275.

  In step S275, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S274 is obtained. Specifically, by controlling the electromagnetic solenoid 609 shown in FIG. 10, the movable piece 610 contacting the tip of the output shaft of the electromagnetic solenoid 609 is rotated, and the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is changed. , The upper stage, or the middle stage. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S276.

  In step S276, a process of determining the eye guidance mode according to the movable mode determined in step S274 is performed. In this process, when the pipe 701a is in the upper position as the movable mode of the movable body, the sub CPU 206 sets the mode of the guide guidance to be executed thereafter to swing the pipe 701a down from the upper position. Further, when the pipe 701a is in the middle position as the movable mode of the movable body, the mode of the guide guidance to be executed thereafter is the mode in which the pipe 701a is swung down from the middle position. If this process ends, the process moves to step S277.

  In step S277, the eye guide is executed in the manner of the eye guide determined in step S276. In this process, the sub CPU 206 operates to swing the pipe 701a from the upper stage to the lower stage as shown in FIG. 15B when the pipe 701a is in the upper position as the movable mode of the movable body 701. Then, the guidance is performed. That is, the swing width of the pipe 701a is between the upper stage and the lower stage. Further, as a movable mode of the movable body 701, when the pipe 701a is in the middle position, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), the pipe 701a operates to swing down from the middle stage to the lower stage guide. I do. That is, the swing width of the pipe 701a is between the middle stage and the lower stage. The operation of the pipe 701a is controlled so that the timing at which the pipe 701a is swung down coincides with the timing at which the symbol “DON” comes to the front side of the left rotating reel 510a. From the above, as the movable mode of the movable body 701 when the movable body 701 appears, the swing width of the pipe 701a is larger when the pipe 701a is at the upper position than when it is at the middle position, The pushing operation can be easily performed. If this process ends, the process moves to step S278.

  In step S278, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the left rotating reel 510a is stopped. If it is stopped, the process proceeds to step S279.

  In step S <b> 279, the sub CPU 206 ends the eye-pushing guidance operation by the movable body 701. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  On the other hand, in step S280, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (B). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (B) shown in FIG. 18 to determine the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18B, in the case of executing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 5%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 35%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 60%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S281.

  In step S281, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S280 is obtained. The specific process is the same as the process of step S275. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  If the winning guidance execution lottery is won by the above processing, the probability that the pipe 701a is at the upper position is high, and then the guiding guidance is executed. On the other hand, when the eye guidance lottery is not won, there is a high probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position, and thereafter, the eye guidance is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to infer whether or not the guide guidance is subsequently executed based on the position of the pipe 701a when the movable body 701 appears.

  Further, when the eye guide is executed, the manner of the eye guide is changed according to the movable state when the movable body 701 appears, that is, the position of the pipe 701a. Therefore, it is possible to give an impact to the player by the appearance of the movable body 701 and to make the player more interested in the movable state of the movable body 701 when the movable body 701 appears. it can.

[Fourth Modification of First Embodiment]
Next, a fourth modification of the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above will be described. In the fourth modified example, the movable body control process described in step S134 of FIG. 24 is different from the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the movable body control process according to the fourth modification will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 34 and 35.

[Movable body control process of fourth modification]
In step S311, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. 24, and determines that the slot game execution command has been received. The process proceeds to step S312, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S312, a push order setting command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 receives a push order setting command based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 in FIG. That is, when a slot game execution command is received, at the same time, a push order setting command for determining the order of operating the three operation buttons 80a, 80b, 80c is received. Here, the pressing order of the operation buttons is “left-middle-right”, “left-right-middle”, “middle-left-right”, “middle-right-left”, “right-left-middle”. , “Right-Middle-Left”, and when each of the operation buttons 80a, 80b, 80c is pushed in the push order set by the push order setting command among these six push orders, Depending on the timing of pressing, it can be stopped at a specific symbol (for example, “DON”). In addition, when the operation buttons 80a, 80b, and 80c are not pressed in this pressing order, specific symbols are not arranged even if the timing of pressing is appropriate. If this process ends, the process moves to step S313.

  In step S313, the timing flag F1 is set. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a timing flag F1 at the time when the slot game execution command is received in the work RAM 210 (see FIG. 6), thereby setting a reference for the elapsed time thereafter. If this process ends, the process moves to step S314.

  In step S314, it is determined whether a push order guidance execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a push order guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S133 of FIG. That is, when the push order guidance execution command is transmitted in the processing of steps S20 and S21 in FIG. 20, the sub CPU 206 detects that the push order guidance execution command has been received. If a push order guidance execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S315. If a push order guidance execution execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S319.

  In step S315, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (A). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (A) shown in FIG. 18 and determines the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18 (A), when the push order guidance is executed, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 70%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 25%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 5%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S316.

  In step S316, a process for controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S315 is obtained. Specifically, by controlling the electromagnetic solenoid 609 shown in FIG. 10, the movable piece 610 contacting the tip of the output shaft of the electromagnetic solenoid 609 is rotated, and the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is changed. , Set to one of the upper, middle and lower positions. If this process ends, the process moves to step S317.

  In step S317, push order guidance processing by the movable body 701 is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 changes the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 based on the push order setting command received in the process of step S312. A detailed processing procedure will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S318.

  In step S318, the push order guidance process by the movable body 701 ends. In this process, the sub CPU 206 ends the push order guidance by the movable body 701 when the operation buttons 80 are pressed and the three rotary reels 510a, 510b, 510c are stopped. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  On the other hand, in step S319, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (B). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (B) shown in FIG. 18 to determine the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18 (B), when the push order guidance is executed, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned in the upper stage is set to 5%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned in the middle stage is set to 35%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 60%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S320.

  In step S320, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S319 is obtained. The specific process is the same as the process of step S316. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Push order guidance processing]
Next, the push order guidance processing by the movable body 701 described in step S317 in FIG. 34 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C, the push order guidance (operation guidance of the stop operation means) is notified by the position of the pipe 701a. Specifically, the case where the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage (FIG. 11C) corresponds to the left reel, and the case where the position of the pipe 701a is in the middle stage (FIG. 11B) corresponds to the middle reel. The case where the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage (FIG. 11A) is set so as to correspond to the right reel, and the push order is notified by the position of the pipe 701a. Hereinafter, a case where the pressing order of the operation buttons 80a, 80b, and 80c is determined in the order of “left-middle-right” will be described.

  In step S331, the movable reel 701 notifies the rotary reel to be stopped first. In this process, the sub CPU 206 informs the player that the left rotation reel 510a is to be stopped by setting the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 to the upper position as shown in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to step S332.

  In step S332, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the first (left) rotating reel 510a has stopped. If it has stopped, the sub CPU 206 proceeds to step S333, and if not, The process of step S331 is repeated.

  In step S333, the rotary reel to be stopped second by the movable body 701 is notified. In this process, the sub CPU 206 informs the player that the central rotary reel 510b is to be stopped by setting the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 to the middle position as shown in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S334.

  In step S334, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the second (center) rotating reel 510b has stopped. If it has stopped, the sub CPU 206 proceeds to step S335, and if not, The process of step S333 is repeated.

  In step S335, the movable reel 701 notifies the third reel to be stopped third. In this process, the sub CPU 206 informs the player that the right rotation reel 510c is to be stopped by setting the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 to the lower position as shown in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to step S336.

  In step S336, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the third (right side) rotating reel 510c has stopped. If it has stopped, the sub-CPU 206 ends this subroutine. If not stopped, the process of step S335 is repeated.

  If the lottery for determining whether or not to perform push order guidance is won by the above processing, the probability that the pipe 701a is in the upper position is high, and then push order guidance is executed. On the other hand, when the above lottery is not won, there is a high probability that the pipe 701a is at the lower position, and push order guidance is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to infer whether or not the push order guidance will be subsequently executed based on the position of the pipe 701a when the movable body 701 appears.

  Further, when the push order guidance is executed, the push order determined by the push order setting command among the six push orders is notified by the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701. At the time of execution, it becomes easy to stop a specific symbol, and interest in the operation of the movable body 701 can be increased.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, the example in which the slot game is executed using the rotating reel device 500 provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display device 32 has been described. However, in the second embodiment, the display area of the liquid crystal display device 32 is described. In the variable display area (variable display means) 501 set in the center of 32a, a slot game is executed in which the identification information during the variable display is stopped and displayed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the display area 32a that is substantially in the center of the game area 15 is a variable display area 501 in which a total of nine pieces of identification information in three rows and three columns are displayed in a variable manner and stopped. In the normal state, the variable display area 501 is displayed, and the change display and stop display of the identification information accompanying the big hit lottery are performed. When the slot game execution lottery is won (when the first predetermined condition is satisfied), the slot game is executed in the variable display area 501.

  Hereinafter, the sub control main process of the gaming machine 10 according to the second embodiment will be described.

[Sub control main processing]
The sub control main process according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In step S351, initialization processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 reads the activation program from the program ROM 208 and initializes and sets a flag stored in the work RAM 210 in response to power-on. If this process ends, the process moves to step S352.

  In step S352, random number update processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of updating the random number stored in the work RAM 210. If this process ends, the process moves to step S353.

  In step S353, command analysis control processing is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for analyzing commands received from the main control circuit 60 and stored in the reception buffer of the work RAM 210. If this process ends, the process moves to step S354.

  In step S354, a movable body control process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of transmitting data for moving the movable body to the drive circuit 240. The movable body control process will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S355.

  In step S355, display control processing is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 transmits data for display on the liquid crystal display device 32 to the display control circuit 250. In the display control circuit 250, the VDP 212 reads various image data such as background image data and effect image data from the image data ROM 216 based on data for displaying the effect image from the sub CPU 206, and superimposes them. The image is displayed on the display area 32 a of the liquid crystal display device 32. Details of this display control processing will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S356.

  In step S356, an identification information control process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs variable display of the identification information in three rows and three columns in the variable display area 501, and displays the variable according to the operation of the operation button 80 when the slot game is executed. A process for stopping and displaying the identification information being displayed is performed. Details will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S357.

  In step S357, sound control processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 transmits data for outputting sound to the sound control circuit 230. The sound control circuit 230 reads various sound data such as music data, sound effect data, and voice data from the sound data ROM 234 based on the data for outputting the sound from the sub CPU 206, superimposes the sound, and uses the AMP 236. Amplified and output from the speaker 46. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S358.

  In step S358, lamp control processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 transmits data for lighting the lamp to the drive circuit 240. The drive circuit 240 reads various lighting pattern data from the decoration data ROM 244 based on the data for lighting the lamp from the sub CPU 206 and lights the lamp 132. If this process ends, the process returns to step S352.

[Moving object control processing]
Next, the movable body control process shown in step S354 of FIG. 36 will be described using FIG.

  In step S371, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S353 in FIG. 36, and determines that the slot game execution command has been received. The process proceeds to step S372, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S372, the timing flag F1 is set. In this process, the sub CPU 206 sets a timing flag F1 at the time when the slot game execution command is received in the work RAM 210, thereby setting a reference for the elapsed time thereafter. If this process ends, the process moves to step S373.

  In step S373, it is determined whether the eye guidance execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the eye pushing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S353 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guidance execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S374. If the eye guidance execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S379.

  In step S374, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (A). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (A) shown in FIG. 18 and determines the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18A, in the case of performing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 70%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 25%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 5%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the upper stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S375.

  In step S375, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S374 is obtained. Specifically, by controlling the electromagnetic solenoid 609 shown in FIG. 10, the movable piece 610 contacting the tip of the output shaft of the electromagnetic solenoid 609 is rotated, and the position of the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is changed. , Set to one of the upper, middle and lower positions. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S376.

  In step S <b> 376, guidance for pushing the eyes by the movable body 701 is executed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 adjusts the pipe of the movable body 701 in accordance with the timing at which specific identification information (for example, “Donchan” symbol) is displayed among the identification information variably displayed in the variation display area 501. Control is performed so that 701a comes to the lower stage (so that pipe 701a is swung down). Therefore, the player can easily take the timing of the appearance of the “Don-chan” symbol while watching the operation of the pipe 701a, and easily perform the operation of stopping the “Don-chan” symbol, that is, the eye pressing operation. Will be able to. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S377.

  In step S377, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the left-side identification information has been stopped. If it has been stopped, the process proceeds to step S378.

  In step S <b> 378, the sub CPU 206 ends the eye pressing guidance operation by the movable body 701. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  On the other hand, in step S379, the movable mode of the movable body 701 is determined based on the probability table (B). In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a lottery based on the probability table (B) shown in FIG. 18 to determine the position of the pipe 701a. As shown in FIG. 18B, in the case of executing the guide guidance, the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the upper stage is set to 5%, and the probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the middle stage is set to 35%. The probability that the pipe 701a is positioned at the lower stage is set to 60%. Therefore, the probability that the position of the pipe 701a is in the lower stage is increased. If this process ends, the process moves to step S380.

  In step S380, a process of controlling the movable body 701 is performed so that the determined movable mode is obtained. In this process, the sub CPU 206 controls the movable body 701 so that the movable mode determined in the process of step S379 is obtained. The specific process is the same as the process of step S375. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  If the winning guidance execution lottery is won by the above processing, the probability that the pipe 701a is at the upper position is high, and then the guiding guidance is executed. On the other hand, when the eye guidance lottery is not won, there is a high probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position, and thereafter, the eye guidance is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to infer whether or not the guide guidance is subsequently executed based on the position of the pipe 701a when the movable body 701 appears.

[Display control processing]
Next, the display control process shown in step S355 of FIG. 36 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S381, it is determined whether a slot game execution command is received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a slot game execution command is received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S353 of FIG. 36, and determines that the slot game execution command is received. In this case, the process proceeds to step S382, and if it is determined that the slot game execution command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S382, the sub CPU 206 recognizes that the timing flag F1 is set in the process of step S372 of FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to step S383.

  In step S383, the sub CPU 206 sets the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 on the front side of the movable body 701 to the transmissive display state when the timing flag F1 is set. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the movable body 701 provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display device 32 and stored in the storage frame 700. If this process ends, the process moves to step S384.

  In step S384, the sub CPU 206 starts the variable display of identification in the variable display area 501 of the liquid crystal display device 32 as shown in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S385.

  In step S385, it is determined whether an eye guidance execution command has been received. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the eye pushing guidance execution command has been received based on the command analyzed in the process of step S353 of FIG. That is, when the eye guidance execution lottery is won in the process of step S20 in FIG. 20 and the eye guide execution command is transmitted in the process of step S21, the sub CPU 206 determines that the eye guide execution command is Detect that it was received. If the eye guide execution command is received, the process proceeds to step S386, and if the eye guide execution command is not received, the process proceeds to step S387.

  In step S386, a process of turning on the gauge lamp 600 in synchronization with the rotation of the left rotating reel 510a is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 turns on and off the 10-frame gauge lamp 600 displayed in the display area 32a on the side of the variable display area 501 as “Don-chan” included in the identification information displayed in a variable manner on the left side. It is controlled so as to change in synchronization with the symbol. That is, each frame of the gauge lamp 600 is turned on sequentially from the lower side, and after all of them are turned on, the light emitting area moves up and down by repeating the operation of turning off the light sequentially from the upper side. Since it synchronizes with the fluctuation display of the identification information on the left side, the player can easily push the eye by looking at the gauge lamp 600. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S387.

  In step S387, it is determined whether or not the slot game has ended. In this process, after the slot game is executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the three operation buttons 80a, 80b, and 80c are pressed and the three columns of identification information are stopped. If it is determined that the slot game has ended, the process proceeds to step S388.

  In step S388, the sub CPU 206 executes processing for setting the area on the front side of the movable body 701 (movable body front area) to the normal display state. As a result, the movable body 701 is concealed by the liquid crystal display device 32, and the movable body 701 becomes invisible. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S389.

  In step S389, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the successful pressing flag is present. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 determines that there is an eye pressing success flag when the eye pressing success flag is set in the processing of step S440 in FIG. Then, if the eye pressing success flag exists, the process proceeds to step S390, and if the eye pressing success flag does not exist, this subroutine ends.

  In step S390, a process of displaying a QR code on the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 is executed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 displays the QR code P2 and the character image P1 above the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 as shown in FIG. The QR code P2 includes various information related to the game hall or the gaming machine 10, and the player can acquire advantageous information about the game by acquiring the QR code P2. Further, as will be described later, since the QR code P2 is displayed when the hit is successful, the player is strongly interested in executing the slot game in an attempt to obtain the QR code P2. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Identification information control processing]
Next, the identification information control process shown in step S356 of FIG. 36 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S391, a variable display process is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for starting the variation display of the identification information in the variation display region 501 based on a command from the main control circuit 60. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S392.

  In step S392, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for determining whether or not a jackpot command has been received from the main control circuit 60 in the command analysis control processing in step S353 of FIG. If it is determined that the jackpot command has been received, the process proceeds to step S393. If it is not determined that the jackpot command has been received, the process proceeds to step S394.

  In step S393, jackpot stop display processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of controlling the variable display and stop display of the identification information so that each piece of identification information in the variable display area 501 is in a jackpot stop mode (for example, the same numbers are aligned in a line). Do. The jackpot stop display process will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S395.

  In step S394, a disconnection stop display process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of controlling the variation display and stop display of the identification information so that the identification symbols of the identification information in the variation display area 501 are in a stoppage mode. The miss stop display process will be described later. If this process ends, the process moves to step S395.

  In step S395, standby processing is performed. In this process, when the sub CPU 206 causes the player to operate the operation button 80 to stop and display the identification information of each column, the effect time of the effect content determined in step S353 of FIG. 36 remains. In addition, the state in which the identification information is stopped and displayed until the production time elapses is performed, and a process of waiting while performing a minute shaking display on the identification information is performed. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Big hit stop display process]
The jackpot stop display process shown in step S393 of FIG. 39 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S411, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the operation button 80 has been operated. If it is determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S412. If it is not determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S413.

  In step S412, identification information stop processing is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 displays the identification information that is variably displayed in the left column when the left operation button 80a is pressed, and is variably displayed in the middle column when the middle operation button 80b is pressed. When the right operation button 80c is pressed, the identification information that is variably displayed in the right column is stopped and displayed. If this process ends, the process moves to step S413.

  In step S413, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not there is identification information being displayed in a variable manner among the identification information in the three columns. If it is determined that there is identification information being displayed in a variable manner, the process proceeds to step S415. If it is not determined that there is identification information during variable display, the process proceeds to step S414.

  In step S414, standby processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines each identification information until the time limit is reached when all the identification information of the left column, the middle column, and the right column is stopped and displayed before the time limit monitored in step S415. A process of waiting is performed while maintaining the stop mode according to. If this process ends, the process moves to step S417.

  In step S415, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the time from when the identification information starts to display the fluctuation is within the time limit. If it is determined that the time is within the time limit, the process returns to step S411. If it is not determined that the time is within the time limit, the process proceeds to step S416.

  In step S416, a process for stopping and displaying the identification information that is variably displayed is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for stopping all the identification information in the variable display if there is identification information in the variable display. If this process ends, the process moves to step S417.

  In step S417, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the stop display mode of each piece of identification information in the variable display area 501 is a jackpot stop mode. If it is determined that the big hit stop mode is set, this subroutine is terminated. If it is not determined that the jackpot stop mode is set, the process proceeds to step S418.

  In step S418, re-variation processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of variably displaying the identification information of each column again. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S419.

  In step S419, identification information stop processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of stopping the identification information so that the stop mode of the identification information is a jackpot stop mode (for example, “7-7-7”). When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In other words, when the jackpot lottery in the main control circuit 60 is won and the slot game is executed, the identification information cannot be stopped so as to be in the jackpot stop mode by the operation of the operation button 80 by the player. There is. In such a case, the drive control is performed so that the identification information is changed again and the jackpot stop mode is automatically set.

[Outgoing stop display processing]
Next, the detachment stop display process shown in step S394 in FIG. 39 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S431, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the operation button 80 has been operated. If it is determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S432. If it is not determined that the operation button 80 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S433.

  In step S432, identification information stop processing is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 displays the identification information that is variably displayed in the left column when the left operation button 80a is pressed, and is variably displayed in the middle column when the middle operation button 80b is pressed. When the right operation button 80c is pressed, the identification information that is variably displayed in the right column is stopped and displayed. If this process ends, the process moves to step S433.

  In step S433, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not there is identification information that is being displayed in a variable manner among the identification information in the three columns. If it is determined that there is identification information being displayed in a variable manner, the process proceeds to step S434. If it is not determined that there is identification information during variable display, the process proceeds to step S436.

  In step S434, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not the time from when the identification information starts to display fluctuation is within the time limit. If it is determined that the time is within the time limit, the process returns to step S431. If it is not determined that the time is within the time limit, the process proceeds to step S435.

  In step S435, a process for stopping and displaying the identification information that is variably displayed is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for stopping all the identification information in the variable display if there is identification information in the variable display. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S436.

  In step S436, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of determining whether or not a stop operation has been performed at the timing when the jackpot stop mode is set. If it is determined that it is the timing for the big hit stop mode, the process proceeds to step S437. If it is not determined that the timing is for the big hit stop mode, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S437, an identification information stop process is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 shifts the stop mode of the identification information in the last one variable display by one frame so that the combination of the respective identification information does not become the jackpot stop mode when the identification information of each column stops. To stop. In other words, when the main control circuit 60 has not won the big hit lottery, the operation of the operation button 80 by the player causes the identification information of each column to become the big hit stop mode. The stop mode of the identification information is controlled so as to be the stoppage mode. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S438.

  In step S438, standby processing is performed. In this process, the sub CPU 206 waits while maintaining the stop mode of each identification information until the time limit is reached when all the identification information of each column is stopped before the time limit monitored in step S434. Process. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S439.

  In step S439, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the stopped identification information is stopped in such a manner that desired symbols are aligned. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, it is determined whether or not the vehicle is stopped in a “Donchan” stop mode. And when it stops by said stop mode, a process is transferred to step S440, and when not stopping by said stop mode, this subroutine is complete | finished.

  In step S <b> 440, the sub CPU 206 sets a successful pressing flag and stores it in the work RAM 210. This success flag is used in the process of step S389 in FIG. 38 and is used as a condition for determining whether or not to display a QR code. That is, the player presses the operation buttons 80 to stop the three rows of identification information, and when the player successfully presses the buttons, as shown in FIG. In addition, the QR code P2 is displayed. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the slot game is executed, the display area 32a (movable body front area) of the liquid crystal display device 32 on the front side of the movable body 701 is executed. ) Is in a transmissive display state, and a movable body 701 provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display device 32 appears. That is, the movable body 701 can be visually recognized by the player. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player that the display area 32a is transparently displayed and the movable body 701 appears.

  Further, when the slot game is executed, the eye guide execution lottery for determining whether or not the eye guide by the movable body 701 is executed is performed, and depending on whether or not the eye guide execution lottery is won. Thus, the movable mode of the movable body 701 when the movable body 701 appears is changed. In other words, if the winning guide execution lottery is won, the probability that the pipe 701a of the movable body 701 is in the upper position is increased, and conversely, if the winning guide execution lottery is not won, The probability that the pipe 701a is in the lower position is increased. Therefore, it is possible to make the player infer whether or not the guide guidance is executed according to the position of the pipe 701a when the movable body 701 appears (according to the movable mode of the movable body 701). An interest can be given to the movable mode of the movable body 701.

  Furthermore, when a specific symbol (for example, “Don-chan”) can be prepared by executing the slot game, the QR code P2 shown in FIG. 17 is displayed, so that the player can receive the slot game. You can have a strong interest in the execution of
