  Based on the signal input from the input unit 30 via the I / O port 101A, the main control unit 110 sends a command or data corresponding to the lottery result to the sub-control unit 120 via the relay board 140 in one direction. A special symbol display unit 24, a normal symbol display unit 25, a special symbol hold display unit 26, a normal symbol hold display unit 27, and a start port included in the output unit 60 via the driver circuit 102 A control signal is given to the accessory driving unit 61 and the special prize opening accessory driving unit 62. The start port accessory driving unit 61 opens and closes the blades 201 and 202 of the electric tulip 20 shown in FIG. The special winning opening accessory driving unit 62 opens and closes the opening / closing plate 23 of the special winning opening 22. The lottery process performed based on the start winning is executed by the CPU 111 in accordance with a program in the ROM 112 (not shown).

  The sub-control unit 120 receives a command from the main control unit 110 and controls the display of the liquid crystal display unit 14 via the driver circuit 103, and includes a variable display control unit, a background image effect display control unit, and a background image. It is constituted by a microcomputer including a CPU 121, ROM 122, and RAM 123 that operate as effect reproduction means, image music synchronization means, basic effect continuation adjustment means, and interpolation effect execution means. The ROM 122 switches the duration of the basic background image and the next basic image for the CPU 121 to control the liquid crystal image, the execution time of the repeated effect, which will be described later, and the change from the repeated effect to the expected effect. A liquid crystal image effect control program 141 in which a program for switching from an interpolation effect to a super reach effect is stored, an execution time of the liquid crystal image effect selected by the CPU 121, and the execution of the liquid crystal image effect. Identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142 that stores the time to reach reach, etc., and effect images (basic background image, repeat effect image, expectation effect image, super reach effect image) displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 14 Etc.) and the background image effect data area 143 storing the time, the time is measured, and the current execution background image time is temporarily And a time measurement program 144 is a program for updating the data of 憶部 152.

  In addition, the RAM 123 has a background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 which is an area for temporarily storing the time until the liquid crystal background image effect is switched to the next content (this time data is sequentially updated by the liquid crystal image effect control 141 program). Current execution background image data temporary storage area 152 that stores image data that is actually being executed, and an execution background image that stores a basic background image number that is currently executed, which will be described in detail later. A number temporary storage area 153 and various variable temporary storage areas 154 such as a repeated image reproduction count Tk, which will be described in detail later, are also included.

  The sub-control unit 120 is connected to a sub-control unit 130 that transmits and receives data bidirectionally. The sub-control unit 130 controls the speakers 11 and 12 that are the music generation units and the effect lamps L1 and L2 for producing the decoration effect via the driver circuit 104, and includes a CPU 131, a ROM 132, and a RAM 133. including.

  The CPU 131 that operates as the image music synchronization means, basic effect continuation adjustment means, and interpolation effect execution means generates and controls music corresponding to the liquid crystal image in synchronization with the liquid crystal image effect controlled by the CPU 121. The ROM 132 stores a music data storage area 161 that functions as a music data storage unit that stores music data generated from the speaker, and a music playback time that stores time data up to a node for switching the liquid crystal effect within one music piece. Data storage area 162. The RAM 133 includes a currently playing music data temporary storage area 163 that temporarily stores music data currently being executed.

  The input unit 30 includes normal start port sensors 41, 42 provided in a start port sensor 31, an accessory start port sensor 34, a big winning port sensor 32, a through gate sensor 33, and a plurality of normal winning ports 28. 43, a left push button sensor 51 provided in relation to the push button 8, a middle push button sensor 52 provided in relation to the push button 9, and a right push button sensor 53 provided in relation to the push button 10. including.

  The start opening sensor 31 detects the entry of a game ball into the start winning opening 18, and the large winning opening sensor 32 detects the entry into the special winning opening 22. The gate sensor 33 detects that the game ball has passed through the normal symbol start gate 21. The normal winning opening sensors 41, 42, and 43 detect the entry of game balls into the plurality of normal winning openings 28, respectively. The left push button sensor 51, the middle push button sensor 52, and the right push button sensor 53 detect that each of the push buttons 8, 9, and 10 is pushed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, game control when a game ball enters the start port 18 or the accessory start port 19 executed by the main control unit will be described. The main control unit enters the starting ports 18 and 19 when the CPU 111 performs interrupt control (for example, once every 4 ms). When a game ball enters the starting port, a predetermined number of balls are paid out. Are sometimes described as winning). If there is no start opening winning (NO in ST100) and the number of reserved balls is also “0” (YES in ST103), the process returns to ST100 and continues to monitor whether there is no winning in the starting opening. When a game ball wins at the start opening (YES in ST100), a random value is acquired (ST101). Here, the random number is at least a jackpot lottery random number and a random number for symbol variation number transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. The main control unit performs the jackpot lottery based on the jackpot lottery random number and the jackpot table. As will be described in detail later, the sub-control unit 120 that has received the symbol variation number data transmitted from the main control unit 110 corresponds to the effect (background image effect and effect symbol variation effect) of the variation time based on the number. Is selected from the table to be executed, and is executed by the liquid crystal display unit 14.

  The main control unit 110 acquires the random number in ST101, and determines whether or not the number of reserved balls in the random number is an upper limit (usually 4) (ST102). If the number of held balls is the upper limit value (YES in ST102), it is determined in ST103 whether or not the number of held balls is “0”. However, since it is not “0” here, the process proceeds to ST106 and the special symbol changes. It is determined whether it is medium. When the special symbol is changing (YES in ST106), the process returns to ST100 to monitor whether or not there is a start opening prize. When the special symbol is not fluctuating (NO in ST106), the special symbol variation number data is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120 (ST107), and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 from the reserved number storage unit (ST108).

  On the other hand, when the number of reserved balls is not the upper limit value in ST102 (NO in ST102), the acquired random number value is stored in the random value storage area in the RAM of the main control unit (ST104). Then, the number of reserved balls is increased by 1 (ST105), and the process proceeds to ST106. The following is the same as above.

  Next, control processing and liquid crystal image effects executed by the sub-control units 120 and 130 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9 show a flow of liquid crystal image effect control of the sub-control unit 120. First, referring to FIG. 5, the current background image data (N) is set in the current execution background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST201).

  Here, a basic background image (moving image) executed in the liquid crystal display unit 14 will be described. In addition, it is desirable that the liquid crystal image and music effects described below are during so-called short-time games. The short-time game is a case where the variation time of a special symbol, in particular, the variation time of a special symbol when a lottery is lost in a big hit lottery is shorter than that of a so-called normal game. For example, in the case of loss variation, if the average symbol variation time is 12 seconds in normal games, the average time is 1 second in short-time games. At this time, since it is desirable that the game is quickly digested one after another, the electric tulip 20 (ordinary electric accessory) of the accessory starting port 19 should be open for a longer time than in the normal game. Is desirable. For example, in normal games, the variation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds, and the opening time of the electric tulip is 0.5 seconds. In the short-time game, the variation time of the normal symbol is 2 seconds, and the opening time Is 5.8 seconds. The jackpot probability is preferably a winning probability (for example, 1/300) during normal game during the short-time game. As will be described later, since the jackpot expectation degree effect is executed between the background image effect and the so-called super reach effect, the jackpot probability is improved (for example, 1/30), and the jackpot is promised in the very near future. This is because the jackpot probability is lower than that in the so-called probability variation game, and the player's attention to the expectation notification effect and the super reach effect is much higher during the short-time game. As a matter of course, since the image effect time including the effect image of the liquid crystal image is also synchronized with the change time of the special symbol, the symbol change time in the so-called liquid crystal display unit is also shortened to the same time as the special symbol. Of course, the symbol itself displayed on the liquid crystal display may be a special symbol.

  FIG. 13 is a basic background image other than when the sub-control unit 120 selects a long-time variation effect including a developed image such as super reach. In the basic background image, music with lyrics flows along with a moving picture like an opening song of an animation. As shown in FIG. 13, a playback image (here, a moving image but may be a still image) is (1: playback time 6 seconds) → (2: playback time 7 seconds) → (3: playback time 8 seconds) → (4 : Playback time 5 seconds) → (5: Playback time 9 seconds) → (6: Playback time 4 seconds) → (7: Playback time 7 seconds) → (1) → (2) → Played many times. Here, justice bears (panda bears) and villain bears who perform a battle directly on a super reach effect image (see FIGS. 16 and 17), which will be described later, get on the racing machine and repeat the moving game.

  The downward arrow at the top of the liquid crystal display unit in FIG. 13 indicates the manner in which the symbols are changing. The entire liquid crystal image is a superimposed image of a pattern image (transparent except for the pattern) and a background image in the rear frame, which repeats variation → stop in the front frame. Basically, as shown in FIG. 13, the background image is switched every time a predetermined time elapses, but the symbol variation time is a variation time designated by the main control unit 110. Therefore, there is basically no correlation between the background image and the symbol variation, and each player appears to be displayed independently. A schematic diagram of the time chart is shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that only a short symbol variation time during the short-time game is repeated. As the liquid crystal background image, N = 1 → 2 → 3 →. In the meantime, the fluctuation pattern of the liquid crystal is repeated from the start of fluctuation to the end of fluctuation.

  The control of the sub-control unit 120 so far will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. For ease of explanation, explanation will be given from the time when the background image is switched to N (N = 1 to 7). First, the switched current background image data (N) is set in the current execution background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST201). Next, the playback time of the current background image effect is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST202). For example, when N = 1, 6 seconds is set (see FIG. 13). Next, the current background image music update information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST203). That is, for example, when N = 1, the sub-control unit 130 is instructed to play music corresponding to the background image 1 for 6 seconds in synchronization with the background image.

  Next, the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is updated during the interrupt control of the CPU 121 (ST204). That is, the remaining time until the background image currently displayed on the liquid crystal display unit is switched to the next background image is updated. Next, it is determined whether or not a special symbol variation time (special symbol variation number) has been received from the main control unit 110 (ST205). Here, when it is received (YES in ST205), it is determined whether or not there is a super reach fluctuation (ST206). When there is a super reach change (YES in ST206), the process proceeds to a super reach change process (ST250) described in detail later.

  If it is determined in ST206 that there is no super reach variation, it is determined whether or not the remaining time in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is "0" (ST207). That is, it is determined whether or not to switch the liquid crystal image to the next N + 1 background image. If NO in ST207, the process returns to ST204 to update the current background image effect reproduction remaining time. If YES in ST207, the next background image data (N + 1) is set in the current execution background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST208). However, when N = 7, the process returns to N = 1. Next, the reproduction time of the liquid crystal background image effect is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST209), and the music change information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST210). By this series of controls, the background image of the liquid crystal display is switched to the background image of (2) when N = 1, for example, and the music with lyrics is also switched to the background image of 2 as shown in FIG. ) Is performed. Thereafter, ST204 is executed, and the same processing as described above is repeated.

  Next, in the case of YES in ST206, that is, a super reach variation process when a super reach effect with a long variation time is selected based on a command from the main control unit will be described. As for the liquid crystal image effect developed into the super reach, the data from the ROM 122 is longer in the time from the start of the symbol variation to the development of the super reach than the reproduction time of each background image effect (N = 1 to 7). Are stored in the identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142. In other words, here, for the liquid crystal image effect that develops into the super reach, the time from the start of the symbol variation to the development into the super reach is at least the background image effect of FIG. It is longer than a second. By defining in this way, an interpolation effect that will be described in detail later becomes effective. Furthermore, as will be described in detail later, the time for the jackpot expectation effect constituting a part of the interpolation effect is fixed at 2 seconds in this embodiment. The time from the start of fluctuation to the development of super reach is recognized by the player within the interpolation effect by setting the longest playback time (5) 9 seconds + 2 seconds to 11 seconds in the background image effect in FIG. This is even more effective because the expected amount of time per jackpot can be extended.

  Next, the super reach variation process (ST250) will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 10 and FIG. Among these, FIGS. 6 to 9 are flowcharts of background image processing of the sub-control unit 120. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of music control processing of the sub-control unit 130 executed in synchronization with the background image processing. In FIGS. 12B and 12C, when the background image effect (1) is being executed, the sub-control unit 120 causes the super reach effect (total effect time 40 seconds and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a time chart when selecting 10 seconds) from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach. In FIG. 12 (b), the pattern variation including super reach is started 4 seconds after the background image 1 is started. In FIG. 12 (c), the super image is displayed 1 second after the background image 1 is started. It is a pattern in which symbol variation including reach has started.

  First, the value of Ta is stored in a predetermined area of the various variable storage area 154 of the RAM 123 (ST251). It is defined as Ta = Tf−Tr. Tf is the time from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach. In FIGS. 12B and 12C, Tf is 10 seconds in common. Tr is the remaining time from the start of symbol variation until the current background image is switched to the next background image. That is, Ta is a time for executing the interpolation effect described later. In FIG. 12B, it is 8 seconds, and in FIG. 12C, it is 5 seconds.

  Next, the initial value of Tv is stored in a predetermined area of various variable storage areas 154 of RAM 123 (ST252). Here, it is defined as Tv = Ta-Te. Here, Ta is the time for executing the interpolation effect, which will be described in detail later, and Te is the execution time of the jackpot expectation effect executed at the end of the interpolation effect. Here, a fixed time of Te = 2 seconds is assumed. That is, Tv is the remaining execution time of the repetitive effect that will be described in detail later. In FIG. 12B, the initial value is 6 seconds, and in FIG. 12C, the initial value is 3 seconds.

  Next, the value of Tk is stored in a predetermined area of various variable storage areas 154 of RAM 123 (ST253). Here, it is defined as Tk = Tv / Tc (Tv is the initial value). Tc is the digestion time (here, 1 second) for one repeated effect image. The value of Tk is rounded down after the decimal point. That is, Tk is the number of times that a repeated effect, which will be described in detail later, is executed to the end. In FIG. 12B, it is 6 times, and in FIG. 12C, it is 3 times. This repetitive effect is a repetitive moving image effect of an interpolated moving image A and an interpolated moving image B each having an execution time of 1 second as shown in FIG.

  Next, it is determined whether the value of Ta is larger than the value of Te (ST254). This is to determine whether or not the jackpot expectation degree effect can be achieved to the extent that the player can sufficiently recognize the interpolation effect described later. That is, it is determined here whether or not the expectation effect can be executed for 2 seconds. FIG. 15 shows an image of the expectation effect. There is a difference in the background aura of the villain bear, and the jackpot expectation increases in the order of (1) <(2) <(3).

  If YES in ST254, it is determined whether or not the remaining time of the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is “0” (ST255). If the remaining time in the background image effect time data temporary storage area is not “0” (NO in ST255), the remaining reproduction time of the current background image in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is updated (ST256). Return to ST255. On the other hand, when the remaining time of the background image effect time data temporary storage area is “0” (YES in ST255), that is, when the background image when the symbol variation including super reach starts on the liquid crystal display unit is finished, The background image becomes an interpolation effect (see FIGS. 12B and 12C).

  That is, liquid crystal image data of repeated background effects for the number of times Tk is stored in the currently executed background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST257). Next, the music update information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST258). That is, a command for generating music for repeated effects in synchronization with the repeated image effects is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130. The music for repetitive performance is music related to anime that does not break the world view of anime. Next, the Tk value stored in the predetermined area of the various variable storage area 154 in the RAM 123 is stored again as Tk2 in the predetermined area of the various variable storage area 154 (ST259). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of repeated effects Tk is 1 or more (ST260). If YES in ST260, a one-second repeated effect is executed at least once. Therefore, the initial value of Tc (here, 1 second) is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST261), the repeated image effect is started, and the remaining time of Tc and Tv is determined according to the time measurement program 144. Subtraction is started (ST262). Next, during the interrupt control of the CPU 121, the remaining time of Tc is updated (ST263) and the remaining time of Tv is updated (ST264).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, it is determined whether the remaining time of Tc is “0” (actually it is 0 or less because it depends on the timing of interrupt control) (ST265). When the remaining time of Tc is equal to or less than “0” (YES in ST265), repeated image redisplay processing is executed, and the initial value of Tc (here, 1 second) is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151. (ST267). Next, 1 is subtracted from the value of Tk (ST268).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the Tk is “0” or less (ST269). If the value of Tk is equal to or less than “0” (YES in ST269), the repetitive effect remaining time Tv is less than 1 second, so the calculation of ST270 is performed to determine the remaining Tv time, and image data for the remaining Tv time is obtained. The current execution background image data temporary storage area 152 is set (ST271), and the remaining time Tv is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST272). Then, every time the CPU 121 performs interrupt control, the remaining Tv time is updated (ST273), and the remaining Tv time is updated until the remaining Tv time becomes “0” or less (ST274).

  On the other hand, in the case of NO in ST265, since the one-second repetitive presentation has not been completed yet, the process proceeds to ST269, where it is determined whether Tk is equal to or less than “0”. Since Tk is 1 or more, it is inevitably NO, so the process returns to ST263 and the same processing as described above is executed.

  On the other hand, in the case of YES in ST265 and in the case of NO in ST269, that is, in the case where a repetitive effect of one time or more is still executed, the process returns to ST263 and proceeds with the same processing as described above.

  If NO in ST260, that is, if the time for executing the repetitive effect is less than one time (here, 1 second), the process jumps to ST272, and the Tv value obtained and stored in ST252 is the background image effect time. Set in the data temporary storage area 151. Next, for each interrupt control of the CPU 121, the remaining time of Tv is updated (ST273), and a loop is performed until the value of Tv becomes “0” or less (ST274).

  Next, when the result of the above processing is YES in ST274, that is, when the repetitive effect is finished, the jackpot expectation effect is executed. That is, the jackpot expectation degree effect image data is set in the currently executed background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST275). Next, the music update information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST276). That is, a command for generating music for the jackpot expectation effect in synchronization with the jackpot expectation effect is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130. The music also matches the world of anime.

  Next, the initial value (2 seconds in this case) of the jackpot expectation effect time is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST277), the jackpot expectation effect effect is started, and the remaining time of Te is measured. Start (ST277). Next, the remaining time of the jackpot expectation degree effect is updated every time the CPU 121 performs interrupt control (ST279). This update process is executed until the value of Te becomes “0” or less (ST280). FIG. 15 shows an example of a big hit expectation degree animation displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 14. Depending on the type of aura that the villain bear emits, the jackpot reliability varies.

  Next, the super reach production process will be described with reference to FIG. When the answer is YES in ST280, that is, when the jackpot expectation effect is finished, a super reach effect is executed. That is, the super reach effect image data is set in the currently executed background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST281). Next, music update information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST282). That is, a command for generating music for super reach production in synchronization with the super reach production is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130. Next, the initial value Tsr (in this case, 30 seconds) of the super reach effect is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST283). Next, the super reach production is started, and the remaining time measurement of Tsr is started (ST284). Next, the remaining time of Tsr is updated during the interrupt control of the CPU 121 (ST285). The update process is repeated until the remaining time of Tsr becomes “0” or less (ST286).

  After the super reach production ends (YES in ST286), it is determined whether or not the symbol variation is a big hit (ST287). In the case of a loss (NO in ST287), the basic background image (N ) Next (N + 1) basic background image data is set in the current execution background image data temporary storage area 152, the process returns to ST202, and symbol variation starts.

  On the other hand, after the super reach effect is ended (YES in ST286), if the symbol variation is a big hit (YES in ST287), the basic background image (N) when the change starts after executing the jackpot effect (ST288) Next (N + 1) basic background image data is set in the currently executed background image data temporary storage area 152, the process returns to ST202, and symbol variation starts. On the other hand, depending on the type of jackpot, the (N + 1) basic background image data next to the basic background image (N) at the start of the change is not set in the current execution background image data temporary storage area 152, but another specific An effect (for example, an effect for probability change) may be executed.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, in the symbol variation that develops to super reach, any background image effect shown in FIG. 13 is executed during the time from the start of symbol variation on the liquid crystal display 14 to the development of super reach variation. It is set longer than the predetermined time (see FIG. 11A). Therefore, the interpolation effect is always performed. On the other hand, when the design change start of the liquid crystal display is started immediately after switching the background image except for the present embodiment, the interpolation effect execution time may be shorter than the expected effect effect execution time. . That is, it is a case of NO in ST254 of FIG. The image processing of the sub control unit 120 at that time is shown in FIG. It should be noted that in the symbol variation that develops to super reach, the time from the start of symbol variation on the liquid crystal display 14 to the development to super reach variation is “the time when any background image effect is executed + 2 seconds” shown in FIG. If only the longer symbol variation pattern is stored in the identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142 of the ROM 122, the case where the interpolation effect execution time is shorter than the expected effect effect execution time does not occur.

  Next, interpolation effect processing 2 (ST300) that proceeds when NO is determined in ST254 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9A shows a case where the repeated effect is not executed during the interpolation effect time, and only the expectation effect is executed for the Ta time. First, expectation degree effect image data is stored in the currently executed background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST301). Next, a command is transmitted to sub-control unit 130 so that music for the expected effect image is generated in synchronization with the image (ST302). Next, the initial value of Ta is stored in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST303). Next, an expectation effect is started and measurement of the remaining time of Ta is started (ST304). The remaining time of Ta in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is updated at the next interrupt control timing of the CPU 121 (ST305), and then it is determined whether or not the value of Ta is “0” or less (ST306). ). If NO in ST306, the process returns to ST305 and loops until Ta becomes “0” or less. If the value of Ta becomes “0” or less (YES in ST306), the process jumps to ST281. By executing the expectation effect in a short period of time by preferentially executing the jackpot expectation effect, even if the player cannot fully visually recognize the content of the effect, a special effect has been executed. It has the effect of raising interest that it can be expected.

  On the other hand, FIG. 9B shows a case where during the interpolation effect time, only the repetitive effect is executed for Ta time, and the expected effect is not executed. First, it is determined whether or not the remaining time of the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 currently being executed on the liquid crystal display is “0” (ST310). If NO in ST310, the process proceeds to ST311, updates the current background image remaining time (ST311), and loops until the remaining time of the currently executed background image effect time temporary storage area 151 becomes “0”. If the remaining time of the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 currently being executed on the liquid crystal display is “0” (YES in ST310), the repetitive image data for the Tk times is temporarily stored in the current execution background image data temporarily. Store in storage area 152 (ST312). Next, a command for generating music for repeated effect images in synchronization with the repeated images is transmitted to sub-control unit 130 (ST313). Next, Tk2 is set to the value of Ta / Tc (rounded down to the decimal point), stored in a predetermined area of the various variable storage area 154 in the RAM 123 (ST314), and the process proceeds to ST261.

  FIG. 10 is a control processing flowchart of the sub-control unit 130. First, the CPU 131 of the sub-control unit 130 monitors whether the current music update information is received from the sub-control unit (ST401). When the current music update information is received from the sub-control unit 120 (YES in ST401), it is determined whether or not the received music update information is basic background image music update information (ST402). If YES in ST402, music corresponding to the basic background image is selected from the music data storage area 161 based on the music update information, and the data is set in the currently playing music data temporary storage area 163 (ST403). Music is played back (ST404). Thereafter, when the next music update information is received from sub-control section 120 (YES in ST414), the process returns to ST402.

  Next, if NO in ST402, the process proceeds to ST405, and if the current music update information received from the sub-control unit 120 is repeat effect music update information (YES in ST405), the repeat effect is based on the music update information. Music corresponding to the image is selected from the music data storage area 161, data is set in the currently playing music data temporary storage area 163 (ST406), and the music is played back (ST407). Thereafter, if the next music update information is received from sub-control section 120 (YES in ST414), the process returns to ST402.

  Next, in the case of NO in ST405, the process proceeds to ST408, and when the current music update information received from the sub-control unit 120 is the music update information for the expectation degree effect (YES in ST408), the expectation is based on the music update information. The music corresponding to the degree effect image is selected from the music data storage area 161, and the data is set in the currently playing music data storage area 163 (ST409). Thereafter, if the next music update information is received from sub-control section 120 (YES in ST411), the process returns to ST402.

  Next, when NO in ST408, the process proceeds to ST411, and the current music update information received from the sub-control unit 120 is the music update information for super reach production. Therefore, based on the music update information, it corresponds to the super reach production image. Music is selected from the music data storage area 161, and data is set in the music data temporary storage area 163 currently being played back (ST412). Thereafter, if the next music update information is received from sub-control section 120 (YES in ST414), the process returns to ST402.

  Next, FIG. 11 will be described in detail. FIG. 11A is a symbol variation pattern selection table on the liquid crystal display unit 14 for each variation number determined by a random number acquired when a game ball wins the starting port 18 or the accessory starting port 19. Here, it is assumed that the variation time of the special symbol is equal to the variation time of the symbol of the liquid crystal display unit. This table is used during the above-mentioned short-time game. The variation numbers 1 to 6 in (a) are tables that are referenced when the big hit lottery is lost, and the variation numbers 7 to 10 in (b) are tables that are referenced when the big hit lottery is in the big win.

  The variation number 1 in FIG. 11A is a loss variation with a symbol variation time of 1 second. As described above, since this table is referred to during a so-called short-time game, in most cases (84.4%), when the jackpot lottery is not won, this variation number 1 is selected. Variation number 2 is a loss variation for 10 seconds with a selectivity of 5%. In this table, this variation number 2 is a loss variation of 1 second in most cases as described above. Therefore, if the variation time is increased to 10 seconds, it may be developed to reach the player. Take the role of raising expectations. Variation number 3 is a reach loss variation with a variation time of 15 seconds (selectivity 10%). As will be described in detail later, during the short-time game using this table, if it develops into super reach, it is a table that can expect a big hit, so this variable number 3 does not develop into super reach It plays the role of giving the player a sense of heel expectation.

  Variation numbers 4 and 8 are loss variation and hit variation that develop into the same super reach A, respectively. Both of the variation numbers have a variation time of 40 seconds and 10 seconds from the start of the variation, and develop into a super reach production of 30 seconds. When the selection numbers of the variation numbers 4 and 8 are 0.3% and 10%, respectively, and the jackpot probability is 1/300, the expectation degree of jackpot of the Super Reach A effect is 10%.

  Variation numbers No. 5 and No. 9 are loss variation and hit variation that develop into the same super reach B, respectively. Both of the variation numbers have a variation time of 50 seconds and a super-reaching effect of 10 seconds from the start of the variation and 40 seconds. When the selection numbers of the variation numbers 5 and 9 are 0.2% and 25%, respectively, and the jackpot probability is 1/300, the jackpot expectation degree of the Super Reach B effect is 29.5%.

  Variation numbers 6 and 10 are loss variation and hit variation that develop into the same super reach C, respectively. Both of the variation numbers have a variation time of 60 seconds and a super reach C effect of 10 seconds from the start of the variation and 50 seconds. When the selection numbers of the variation numbers 6 and 10 are 0.1% and 54%, respectively, and the jackpot probability is 1/300, the jackpot expectation degree of the Super Reach C production is 64.4%. Therefore, the jackpot reliability increases in the order of super reach A <B <C.

  Incidentally, variation numbers 3 and 7 are normal reach loss variation and hit variation, respectively. Both the fluctuation numbers have a fluctuation time of 15 seconds. When the selection numbers of the variation numbers 3 and 7 are 10% and 1%, respectively, and the jackpot probability is 1/300, the expectation degree of the jackpot for the normal reach production is 0.03%. Therefore, normal reach can not be expected to hit the jackpot, it has become a table that increases the expectation of jackpot by developing to super reach.

  FIG. 11B is a jackpot expectation degree effect selection table displayed on the liquid crystal display unit immediately before the interpolation effect is developed into super reach. Referring to FIG. 15, if the effect 1 image is displayed, the jackpot reliability is 26.9%, and if the effect 2 image is displayed, it is 75.1%, and the effect 3 image is displayed. If so, the jackpot expectation is 89%. That is, the jackpot expectation increases in the order of 1 <2 <3.

  Next, FIG. 12 will be described again in detail. FIG. 12A is a time chart showing the relationship between the change in the pattern on the liquid crystal display unit 14 and the background image (here, the case where the background images 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 13 are reproduced) in the short-time state. It is a schematic diagram. The liquid crystal display is displayed as a superimposed image (moving image) of the variation pattern and the background image.

  (B) and (c) of FIG. 12 show a background image including super reach. In both (b) and (c), the symbol variation time is 40 seconds, the symbol variation starts while the background image 1 (see FIG. 13) is reproduced, and after 10 seconds, the variation image pattern develops to a super reach of 30 seconds. It is. By the way, the normal reach effect (a state in which the left and right symbols of the left, middle and right symbols are temporarily stopped at the same symbol and only the middle symbol fluctuates) is 8 seconds after the start of the symbol variation.

  As for FIG. 12 (b), the symbol variation starts 4 seconds after the animation video of the background image 1 having a playback time of 6 seconds and the music with lyrics synchronized with the video are started. At this point, a normal basic effect is executed for 2 seconds until the background image 1 and the music with lyrics are completed. Then, when the background image 1 and the music with lyrics are finished, an interpolation effect is executed until it is developed into a super reach. It is 10 seconds after the start of the change until the symbol change develops to super reach, so an interpolation effect is executed for 8 seconds, and then a super reach effect for 30 seconds is executed to form the liquid crystal change screen for 40 seconds. Become. In the interpolation effect time, since the expectation effect is fixed at 2 seconds here, the effect is repeatedly performed for 6 seconds before the expectation effect.

  As described above, the repeated effect is a repetition of the interpolated effect image A and the interpolated effect image B, which are moving images of 1 second in FIG. Further, as described above, the jackpot expectation degree effect is selected from the table of FIG. 11B and displayed as an image as shown in FIG. The jackpot reliability changes depending on the aura of the villain bear, and the jackpot reliability increases in the order of (1) <(2) <(3). Further, the super reach is selected from the table of FIG. 11A, and is, for example, a battle scene video on the ground between a justice bear and a villain bear competing in a car race as shown in FIG.

  If you win the jackpot lottery following the super reach production in Fig. 16, justice bear defeats the villain bear as shown in Fig. 17 (a), and the same "7" as the reach symbol is displayed in the center of the LCD screen. The On the other hand, if the jackpot lottery is not won, as shown in FIG. 17B, the justice bear is blown over by the attack of the villain bear, and a design (for example, 8) different from the reach design is displayed at the center of the liquid crystal screen.

  Executing the liquid crystal image effect process and the music generation process synchronized with the liquid crystal image effect as in this embodiment, that is, the interpolation effect (this interpolation effect is also related to the basic background image and music). ), The background effect image and the music change for the interpolation effect at the time of switching the basic background image of the background image or music synchronized with the background image (particularly with lyrics). 13 background images N) The liquid crystal moving image and music synchronized therewith are not suddenly switched to other images and music, and an effect that does not give the player a sense of incongruity is possible.

Further, even if the symbol variation time is determined in advance by the main control unit, it is not necessary to store the development effect (super reach) image for each symbol variation time by making the interpolation effect time variable. Therefore, the number of super reach production images can be maintained at an appropriate value, and the image storage capacity can be saved.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Since the case (FIG. 1) and the game board (FIG. 2) of the pachinko gaming machine are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted. The configuration of the electrical configuration block diagram is almost the same as that of the first embodiment (FIG. 3), but the functions of the sub-control units 120 and 130 are different, so only that point will be described with reference to FIG. To do.

  Referring to FIG. 18, the sub control unit 120 receives a command from the main control unit 110 and controls the display on the liquid crystal display unit 14 via the driver circuit 103. It is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU 121, ROM 122, and RAM 123 that operate as effect display control means, background image effect reproduction means, image music synchronization means, time data comparison means, and special background image effect execution means. The ROM 122 includes a liquid crystal image effect control control program 141, an identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142, a background image effect data storage area 143, and a time measurement program 144.

  In the liquid crystal image effect control program 141, the CPU 121 describes an identification information display variation time pattern (hereinafter referred to as a symbol display variation time pattern) from the identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142 of the ROM 122 in accordance with a command from the main control unit 110. Time data until the liquid crystal effect (background image) is switched is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151, the background image effect time data temporary storage area, and music data currently being played back, which will be described later A program for comparing temporarily stored data with one playback position storage area 165, switching of a basic background image, switching from a normal background image to a special background image, which will be described later, and switching from a special background image to a super reach effect image It is a program for executing the above.

  The identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142 stores the execution time of the identification information display variation pattern selected by the CPU 121 and the time from the start of execution of the identification information display variation pattern to the super reach. . The background image effect data storage area 143 stores effect images (basic background image, special background image, expectation effect image, super reach effect image, etc.) to be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 14. The time measurement program 144 is a program for measuring an elapsed time from the start of the effect time and updating the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151.

  Next, referring also to FIG. 18, the sub-control unit 120 is connected to the sub-control unit 130 that bidirectionally transmits and receives data. The sub-control unit 130 controls the speakers 11 and 12 that are the music generation units and the effect lamps L1 and L2 for producing the decoration effect via the driver circuit 104, and includes a CPU 131, a ROM 132, and a RAM 133. including. It is constituted by a microcomputer including a CPU 131, ROM 132, and RAM 133 that operate as image music synchronization means, music generation control means, and time data comparison means. The roles of the music data 161 and the music time reproduction data 162 shown in the ROM of FIG. 18 are the same as those of FIG. The music playback position measurement program 164 is a program that measures time and updates data in the currently playing music data playback position storage area 165 according to the current music playback position and music playback time data. The currently generated music data playback position temporary storage area of the RAM 133 stores time data up to a node for switching the liquid crystal image effect and the position of the music currently being played back.

  Next, the game control performed when the game ball enters the start port 18 or the accessory start port 19 executed by the main control unit is the same as that in the first embodiment (FIG. 4), and therefore will be omitted.

  Next, a control flow executed by the sub control unit 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. The normal background image (basic background image) executed in this embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 13 is a basic background image other than when the sub-control unit 120 selects a long-time variation effect including a developed image such as super reach. In the basic image, music with lyrics flows along with a moving image like an opening song of an animation. As shown in FIG. 13, a playback image (here, a moving image but may be a still image) is (1: playback time 6 seconds) → (2: playback time 7 seconds) → (3: playback time 8 seconds) → (4 : Playback time 5 seconds) → (5: Playback time 9 seconds) → (6: Playback time 4 seconds) → (7: Playback time 7 seconds) → (1) → (2) → Played many times. For symbol variation including super reach, it is desirable that the time from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach is longer than the playback time of each moving image in FIG. Also, the gaming state to which the second embodiment is applied is preferably the so-called short-time state described in the paragraph “0046” as in the first embodiment.

Next, the flowchart of FIG. 19 will be described. In order to simplify the explanation, the current normal background image data (N = 1 to 7 in the moving image data of the background image N in FIG. (ST401). Next, the playback time of the current normal background image (for example, 8 seconds when N = 3) is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST402). Next, a command to generate music for the current background image in synchronization with the background image is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST403).

  Next, at the time of interrupt control of the CPU 121 (for example, once every 4 msec), the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (remaining time until switching to the next background image effect) is updated (ST404). Next, it is determined whether a special symbol variation number (see FIG. 11A) has been received from main controller 110 (ST405). For example, the symbol variation time of the liquid crystal display unit 14 is determined by the special symbol variation number transmitted from the main control unit 110. Then, the CPU 121 selects a symbol variation pattern from the symbol variation time effect pattern table stored in the identification information display variation time storage area 142. As a result, it is determined whether or not an effect variation pattern that develops to super reach that is long-term variation has been selected (ST406). When the super reach effect is selected in ST406, the process of determining whether to select normal background image data or special background image data in ST450 is executed. This determination process will be described later.

  When normal short-term fluctuation is selected in ST406 (NO in ST406), it is determined whether or not the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is “0” during the interrupt control of the CPU 121 (ST407). If NO in ST407 (the effect of the normal background image N is being executed), the process returns to ST404 to update the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (the remaining execution time of the background image N). This loop is repeated until the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 becomes “0”.

  Next, when it is determined that the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is “0” (YES in ST407), the next background image data (the moving image data of the background image N + 1 in FIG. 13) is used as the current execution background image. Set in the data temporary storage area 152. Next, the playback time of the background image is set in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (ST409). Next, a command for generating the music for the background image in synchronization with the background image is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST410). Thereafter, the process returns to ST404.

  Next, the subroutine 450 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in the symbol display variation time pattern including the super reach selected from the identification information display variation time pattern storage area 142 of the ROM 122 based on the variation number received from the main control unit 110, from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach. Is longer than the remaining execution time of the background image at the start of symbol variation (that is, the remaining time until the end of music occurring at the beginning of symbol variation) (ST451). In the case of NO in ST451, that is, in the symbol display variation pattern including the selected super reach, the time from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach is the remaining execution time of the background image at the beginning of symbol variation (ie, at the beginning of symbol variation). If it is shorter than the remaining time until the end of the generated music), the process proceeds to ST461 through ST470, and after a predetermined time (10 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed since the start of symbol variation, the current execution shown in FIG. The basic background image is developed into a super reach effect, and time measurement stop information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 to stop the current music for the basic background image (ST461). Thereafter, a command for generating music for super reach production in synchronization with the super reach production is transmitted to sub-control unit 130 (ST462). Next, when the super reach effect ends, time measurement resumption information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130, for example, the background image next to the basic background image displayed on the liquid crystal display unit at the start of the symbol variation. A command to generate music for use in synchronization with the background image is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST463). In the present embodiment, symbol variation in which the time from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach is longer in each super reach variation than the reproduction time of each background image shown in FIG. 13 (the identification information display variation is described above). Therefore, in the case of NO in ST451, it does not occur in this embodiment. On the other hand, when the background image reproduction time is long, the case where ST451 is NO may occur. At that time, the special background image that informs the expected degree of jackpot, which will be described later, does not appear, but if you win the jackpot lottery, it will be a big hit without expectation effect, so it will give the player an unexpected joy Occurs.

  On the other hand, in the case of YES in ST451, that is, in the symbol display variation pattern including the selected super reach, the time from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach is longer than the remaining execution time of the background image at the beginning of symbol variation Determines whether the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 is “0” (ST452). If NO in ST452, that is, if the display of the background image at the start of symbol variation is still being executed, the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 (the remaining execution time of the background image) is updated. (ST453) and return to ST452. This loop is repeated until the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 becomes “0”.

  Next, in the case of YES in ST452, that is, when the data in the background image effect time data temporary storage area 151 becomes “0”, the image data in the currently executed background image data temporary storage area 152 is confirmed (background image N) (ST454), and the basic background image effect number is stored in the execution background image serial number temporary storage area 153. Next, special background image data for the background image “N + 1” is set in the current execution background image data temporary storage area 152 (ST455). Then, a command for generating the music for the same background image “N + 1” as that for the basic background image “N + 1” in synchronization with the special background image is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST456). The background image effect time data storage area 151 is a time for executing the special background image effect (initial value Ts: for example, 6 seconds in FIG. 22B, 8.5 seconds in (c), 1 second in (d)). (ST457). Then, the special background image effect is started, and the measurement of the remaining time of Ts is started in accordance with the time measurement program 144 (ST458). The value of Ts is checked every time the CPU 121 performs interrupt control, and it is determined whether Ts = 0 (special background image effect end) or not (ST459). If Ts is not “0” (NO in ST459), The value of Ts is updated (ST460). If Ts = 0 (YES in ST459), the special background image effect is terminated.

  When the special background image effect is finished, the super reach effect is started and the time measurement stop information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 to stop the current special background image music (same as the basic background image music). (ST461). Thereafter, a command for generating music for super reach production in synchronization with the super reach production is transmitted to sub-control unit 130 (ST462). Next, when the super reach effect ends, the time measurement restart information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130, for example, the background next to the basic background image stored in the execution background image number temporary storage area 153. A command for generating image music in synchronization with the background image is transmitted to the sub-control unit 130 (ST463).

  Next, a control processing flow executed by the sub control unit 130 will be described with reference to FIG. First, it is determined whether or not music update information is received from the sub-control unit 120 (ST501). If YES in ST501, music corresponding to the background image is selected based on the music update information and set in the currently playing music data playback position storage area 165. Next, at the time of interrupt control of the CPU 131, the data in the currently reproduced music data reproduction position storage area is updated (ST503). On the other hand, if NO in ST501, the process proceeds to ST503.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the time measurement stop information is received from the sub-control unit 120 (ST504). If YES in ST504, the music for the normal and special background images is stopped and the time measurement restart information is displayed. Until it is received from the sub-control unit 120 (ST505), the music for super reach is generated in synchronization with the image. On the other hand, if NO in ST504, the process returns to ST501.

  Next, referring to FIG. 22, a schematic diagram of a time chart when executing a special background image effect before super reach is shown. The liquid crystal symbol variation pattern selection table of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment (see FIG. 11A). First, FIG. 22A shows a pattern variation pattern (see FIG. 11A) for the background images 4 (reproduction time 5 seconds) and 5 (reproduction time 9 seconds) (see FIG. 13) in the above-mentioned short-time state that does not develop into super reach. The fluctuation number 1) is shown. (1) is a symbol variation start, and (2) is a symbol variation stop. The entire liquid crystal image is a superimposed image of a pattern image (transparent except for the pattern) and a background image in the rear frame, which repeats variation → stop in the front frame.

  Next, FIG. 22B shows the case of the variation number 4 or 8 in FIG. Here, long-time fluctuation including super reach is selected one second after the start of reproduction of the background image 4. Since the time from the start of symbol change to the development of super reach is 10 seconds, the time from the start of symbol change to the background image 4 to 5 (in other words, the time from the start of symbol change to the end of music 4) is longer than 4 seconds. . When the reproduction of the background image 5 starts, the normal background image 5 is switched to the special background image 5, and the jackpot expectation degree effect is executed on the special background image 5 based on the jackpot expectation degree effect selection table of FIG. Is done. A moving image shown in (5) of FIG. 13 is displayed as the normal background image at the time reduction. On the other hand, the special background image displays a slightly different moving image as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 23 (1), animals are walking at the end of the road. In FIG. 23 (2), birds are flying. In FIG. 23 (3), the two back door symbols of the car are the same. The jackpot expectation increases in the order of (1) <(2) <(3). Since the special background image executes the jackpot expectation degree effect when a part of the basic background image is different, there is an effect that there is a fun of looking for mistakes for the player. By the way, in the special background image, the same music as the basic background 5 flows. When the super-reach is developed, the special background image and the music are faded out to switch to the super-reach background image and music.

  Next, FIG. 24C also shows the case of the variation number 4 or 8 in FIG. Here, long-time fluctuation including super reach starts 3.5 seconds after the start of reproduction of the background image 4. Since the time from the start of symbol variation to the development of super reach is 10 seconds, the time from the symbol variation start to switching from the background image 4 to 5 is longer than 1.5 seconds. When the reproduction of the background image 5 is started, the normal background image 5 is switched to the special background image 5 and the special background image 5 has the jackpot expectation degree effect of (b) based on the jackpot expectation degree effect selection table of FIG. It is executed as in the case.

Note that, due to the relationship between the background image and the start of symbol variation, the special background image effect execution time is short, and it may be difficult for the player to confirm. For example, in FIG. 22D, when the symbol variation starts simultaneously with the start of the background image 5, the special background image 6 is displayed and executed only for 1 second. When the special background image execution time is shorter than the predetermined value, the normal background image may be reproduced without reproducing the special background image. Also in this embodiment, as an example of the super reach movie, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 can be cited as in the first embodiment.
