A flow path 40c is formed. Thereby, it is possible to guide the game ball flowing down the outside of the center case 40 into the opening 40a and roll it on the stage 40b in the left-right direction. Further, a flow path switch (not shown) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the warp flow path 40c is provided in the warp flow path 40c.

  The display device 41 is configured by a device having a display surface 41a such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or a CRT (CRT). In an area (display area) where the image of the display surface 41a can be displayed, information relating to a game such as a plurality of identification information (special symbols), a character that produces a special figure variation display game, and a background image that enhances the presentation effect is displayed. The In the display area, a plurality of special symbols assigned as identification information are variably displayed (variably displayed), and a decorative special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the special figure fluctuation display game is played. In the display area, an image for an effect based on the progress of the game (for example, a jackpot display image, a fanfare display image, an ending display image, etc.) is displayed.

On the left side of the center case 40 in the game area 32 of the game board 30, a normal symbol start gate (common figure start gate) 34 is provided. Three general winning openings 35 are arranged on the lower left side of the center case 40, and one general winning opening 35 is arranged on the lower right side of the center case 40.
In each of the general winning ports 35,..., Winning port switches 35a to 35n (see FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered each of the general winning ports 35 are arranged.

  Also, below the center case 40 is provided a start winning opening 36 (first start winning opening) for giving a start condition for the special figure changing display game, and immediately below it is opened in a reverse “C” shape. In addition, a normal variation winning device (general power) 37 having a pair of movable members 37b and 37b for converting the game ball into a state in which the game ball can easily flow and having a second start winning opening is provided.

The pair of movable members 37b, 37b of the normal variation winning device 37 is normally held in a closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) with an interval of about the diameter of the game ball. However, since the start winning port 36 is provided above the normal variation winning device 37, the game ball cannot be won in the closed state.
When the result of the normal variation display game becomes a predetermined stop display mode, it is opened in a reverse “C” shape by a general electric solenoid 37c (see FIG. 3) as a driving device, and a normal variation prize is awarded. The device 37 can be changed to an open state (a state advantageous to the player) in which a game ball easily flows.

  Also, below the ordinary variable winning device 37, a special variable winning device (large winning port) 38 that can be converted into a state where a game ball is not accepted and a state where it is easy to accept depending on the result of the special figure variation display game is arranged. Yes.

The special variation winning device 38 has an attacker-type open / close door 38c that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side, and depending on the result of the special figure variation display game as an auxiliary game. The state is converted from a closed state (closed state unfavorable for the player) to an open state (a state advantageous to the player).
In other words, the special variable winning device 38 includes, for example, a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an open / close door 38c driven by a large winning opening solenoid 38b (see FIG. 3) as a driving device. By converting the closed state from the closed state to the open state, the inflow of game balls into the special winning opening is facilitated, and a predetermined game value (prize ball) is given to the player.
In addition, a count switch 38a (see FIG. 3) as a detecting means for detecting a game ball that has entered the special winning opening is disposed inside the special winning opening (winning area).
Below the special variable winning device 38, there is provided an out port 39 for collecting game balls that have not won a winning port.

  In addition, on the outside of the game area 32 (for example, in the lower right part of the game board 30), the first special figure fluctuation display game, the second special figure fluctuation display game, and the general figure start gate 34 that form the special figure fluctuation display game are displayed. There is provided a collective display device 50 for executing a common figure variable display game triggered by winning a prize at one place.

The collective display device 50 includes a first special figure fluctuation display unit (special figure 1 display) 51 and a second special figure for a first special figure fluctuation display game configured by a 7-segment display (LED lamp) or the like. The second special figure fluctuation display part (special figure 2 display) 52 for the fluctuation display game, the fluctuation display part (general figure display) 53 for the common figure fluctuation display game composed of LED lamps, and the LED lamp The memory display units (starting memory display units) 54 to 56 for informing the starting memory number of each variable display game configured as described above are provided.
Further, the collective display device 50 is turned on when a big hit occurs and a first gaming state display unit (first gaming state indicator) 57 that notifies the occurrence of the big hit, and lights up when a short time state occurs to notify the occurrence of a short time state. A second gaming state display unit (second gaming state indicator) 60, a high probability indicator (third gaming state display) that indicates that the probability state of jackpot is a high probability state when the gaming machine 10 is powered on. 58), and a round number display 59 for displaying the number of rounds at the time of big hit (the number of opening / closing of the special variable winning device 38).

  The special figure fluctuation display game in the special figure 1 display 51 and the special figure 2 display 52 is, for example, during the execution of the fluctuation display game, that is, while the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is being performed on the display device 41, The segment is blinked to indicate that it is changing. When the result of the game is “out of”, for example, the central segment is turned on as a result mode of out of game, and when the result of the game is “win”, the result of out of game (special result mode) is not. A game result is displayed with a result mode other than the result mode (for example, the numbers “3” and “7”) in a lit state.

  The normal display 53 blinks the lamp during the change and displays that the change is in progress. When the game result is “out of”, for example, the lamp is turned off, and when the game result is “hit”, the lamp is turned on to display the game result.

The special figure 1 start memory display 54 displays the number of undigested balls (starting memory number = holding number) among the number of winning balls to the start winning opening 36 which is the variation start condition of the special figure 1 display 51. Specifically, when the number of hold is “0”, all four lamps are turned off, and when the number of hold is “1”, only lamp 1 is turned on. Further, when the number of holdings is “2”, the lamps 1 and 2 are turned on, when the number of holdings is “3”, the lamps 1, 2 and 3 are turned on, and when the number of holdings is “4”, 4 is set. All the lamps 1 to 4 are turned on.
The special figure 2 start memory display 55 displays the start memory number (= holding number) of the second start prize opening (ordinary variable prize device 37), which is the fluctuation start condition of the special figure 2 display 52, and the special figure 1 start memory. It is displayed in the same manner as the display 54.

  The general-purpose start memory display 56 displays the start memory number (= holding number) of the general-purpose start gate 34 which is the variation start condition of the general-purpose display 53. For example, when the hold number is “0”, the lamps 1 and 2 are turned off, and when the hold number is “1”, only the lamp 1 is turned on. When the number of hold is “2”, lamps 1 and 2 are turned on. When the number of hold is “3”, lamp 1 is blinked, lamp 2 is turned on, and when the number of hold is “4”. Lamps 1 and 2 are blinked.

For example, the first gaming state indicator 57 turns off the lamp in the normal gaming state, and turns on the lamp when the big hit has occurred.
For example, the second gaming state indicator 60 turns off the lamp in the normal gaming state, and turns on the lamp when the time-short state occurs.

  For example, the third gaming status indicator 58 (high probability alarm) turns off the lamp when the big hit probability state is low when the gaming machine 10 is turned on, and hits the big hit when the gaming machine 10 is turned on. When the probability state is a high probability state, the lamp is turned on.

  For example, the round number indicator 59 turns off the lamp in the normal gaming state, and turns on the lamp corresponding to the number of rounds of the big hit when the big hit occurs. The round number display 59 may be a 7 segment type display.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a game is played by launching a game ball (pachinko ball) from a launcher (not shown) toward the game area 32. The launched game balls flow down the game area 32 while changing the rolling direction by means of direction change members such as obstacle nails and windmills arranged at various locations in the game area 32, and the normal start gate 34 and the general winning opening 35 The winning prize opening 36, the normal variable prize winning device 37, or the special variable prize winning device 38 is won, or it flows into the out port 39 provided at the bottom of the game area 32 and is discharged from the game area 32. When a game ball wins the general winning opening 35, the starting winning opening 36, the normal variable winning device 37 or the special variable winning device 38, the number of winning balls corresponding to the type of the winning winning port is changed to the payout control device 200 ( From the dispensing unit controlled by FIG. 3), it is discharged to the upper plate 21 or the lower plate 23 of the open / close frame 12.

On the other hand, a gate switch 34a (see FIG. 3) including a non-contact type switch for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general diagram start gate 34 is provided in the general diagram start gate 34. When a game ball that has been driven into the area 32 passes through the usual figure start gate 34, it is detected by the gate switch 34a and a usual figure change display game is played.
In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, If 37 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 34, the general figure start memory number is added if the number is less than the upper limit number (for example, four) of the normal figure start memory number (for example, 4). +1), and one ordinary start memory is stored. The number of memorized universal start prizes is displayed on the general chart start memory display 56 of the collective display device 50.
In addition, in the normal chart start memory, a random number value for hit determination for determining a hit error of the normal figure fluctuation display game is stored, and when the random number value for hit determination coincides with the determination value In addition, a specific result mode (a general map specifying result) is derived by winning the normal map change display game.

The usual map change display game is executed by a change display unit (common figure display) 53 provided in the collective display device 50. The general-purpose indicator 53 is composed of LEDs indicating normal identification information (general-purpose symbols, normal symbols) in the lit state, and indicating a deviation in the unlit state. Information variation is displayed, and after a predetermined variation display time has elapsed, the LED is turned on or off to display the result.
Note that, for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, and the like may be used as the normal identification information, which is displayed by variably displaying for a predetermined time and then stopped. If the stop display of the normal map change display game results in the normal map specifying result, it becomes a hit of the normal map, and the pair of movable members 37b of the normal variable prize-winning device 37 is in a predetermined time (for example, if the normal map low probability state). The open state is opened for 0.3 seconds (0.8 seconds in the case of a normal high probability state). This makes it easier for the game ball to win the second start winning opening inside the normal fluctuation winning device 37, and the number of times the second special figure changing display game is executed increases.

  When the random number value extracted at the time of detection of the passage to the universal chart start gate 34 is a winning value, the normal symbol displayed on the universal chart display unit 53 stops in the hit state and enters the hit state. At this time, in the normal variation winning device 37, the built-in power solenoid 37c (see FIG. 3) is driven, so that the movable member 37b has a predetermined time (for example, 0.3% in the normal low probability state). The game ball is converted into a state of being released only for 0.8 seconds in the case of the normal high probability state, and the winning of the game ball is allowed.

The winning ball to the starting winning port 36 and the winning ball to the normal variation winning device 37 are respectively detected by the starting port 1 switch 36a and the starting port 2 switch 37a provided inside. A game ball won in the start winning opening 36 is detected as a start winning ball of the first special figure variation display game, and is stored as a first start memory up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4), and normally fluctuates. The game ball that has won the winning device 37 is detected as a start winning ball of the second special figure variation display game, and is stored as a second start memory up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four).
In addition, when the starting winning ball is detected, a big hit random number value, a big hit symbol random number value, and each variation pattern random number value are extracted, and the extracted random number value is stored in a special figure memory in the game control device 100 (see FIG. 3). Each area (a part of the RAM) is stored as a special figure start memory for a predetermined number of times (for example, a maximum of four times). The number stored in the special figure start memory is displayed on the special figure 1 start memory display 54 and the special figure 2 start memory display 55 of the collective display device 50, and also on the display device 41 of the center case 40. It is displayed as symbols R1 to R4 (see, for example, FIG. 27).

The game control device 100 receives the special prize 1 display 51 (variation display device) or the special figure 2 display 52 (variation display) based on the winning winning opening 36 or the normal variable prize winning device 37, or the starting memory thereof. The first or second special figure variation display game is played on the device.
The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are performed by variably displaying a plurality of special symbols (special figures, identification information) and then stopping and displaying a predetermined result form. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game is executed in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed in correspondence with each special figure fluctuation display game on the display device 41 (fluctuation display device). It has come to be.
And as a result of the special figure fluctuation display game, when the display form of the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52 becomes a special result form (special result), a special game state ( So-called big hit state). Correspondingly, the display mode (stop result mode) of the display device 41 is also a special result mode.

  For example, in the decorative special figure variation display game in the display device 41, for example, the decoration special symbol (identification information) composed of the above-described numbers or the like is first displayed, the left variation display area (first special symbol), the right variation display area (second variation). In each of the special symbol) and the middle variation display area (third special symbol), variation display (high-speed variation) is performed at a speed difficult to identify. Then, the symbols that have changed after a predetermined time are sequentially stopped in the order of the left variation display region, the right variation display region, and the middle variation display region, and stopped in each of the left variation display region, the right variation display region, and the middle variation display region. This is done by displaying the result of the special figure variation display game by the stop result mode constituted by the displayed identification information. In addition, the display device 41 performs a variable display game with a decorative special symbol corresponding to the number of special figure starting memories, and various effect displays such as the appearance of a character are performed to improve interest.

The special figure 1 display 51 and the special figure 2 display 52 may be separate displays or the same display, but each special figure variation display is performed so as not to be executed independently or simultaneously. The game is displayed. In addition, the display device 41 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map variable display game and the second special map variable display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed so as not to be executed independently or simultaneously. The game machine 10 may not be provided with the special figure 1 display 51 and the special figure 2 display 52, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 41.
Further, the second special figure variation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure variation display game. That is, when there is a start memory of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, and the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is It is supposed to be executed.

In addition, in the state where the first special figure fluctuation display game (second special figure fluctuation display game) can be started and the number of start memories is zero, the start winning opening 36 (or the normal fluctuation prize winning device 37) is entered. When the game ball wins, the start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure variation display game (second special figure) is immediately added based on the start memory. (Variable display game) is started, and at this time, the start memory number is subtracted by one.
On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game (second special figure fluctuation display game) cannot be started immediately, for example, the first or second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display game has ended. If the game ball is won in the start winning opening 36 (or the normal variable prize winning device 37) in a state that is not in the special game state or in the special game state, the start memory number is 1 if the start memory number is less than the upper limit number. By adding, one start memory is stored. Then, in a state where the starting memory number becomes 1 or more, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game (second special figure fluctuation display game) can be started (the end of the previous special figure fluctuation display game or the special game state) (End), the start memory number is decremented by 1, and the first special figure fluctuation display game (second special figure fluctuation display game) is started based on the stored start memory.
In the following description, when the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as a special figure fluctuation display game.

  Although not particularly limited, the starting port 1 switch 36a in the starting winning port 36, the starting port 2 switch 37a in the normal variable winning device 37, the gate switch 34a, the general winning port switches 35a to 35n, the count The switch 38a and the flow path switch in the warp flow path 40c are provided with a coil for magnetic detection, and a non-contact type magnetic proximity sensor that detects a game ball using a phenomenon in which a magnetic field changes when a metal approaches the coil.

Can be used.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control system of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment.
The gaming machine 10 includes a game control device 100. The game control device 100 is a main control device (main board) for comprehensively controlling games, and a gaming microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as a gaming microcomputer) 111 is provided. The CPU unit 110 includes an input unit 120 having an input port, an output unit 130 having an output port, a driver, and the like, and a data bus 140 connecting the CPU unit 110, the input unit 120, and the output unit 130.

  The CPU 110 includes a game microcomputer (CPU) 111 called an amusement chip (IC) and a signal (starting winning detection signal) from an interface chip (proximity I / F) 121 connected to a proximity switch in the input unit 120. ) Is inverted and input to the gaming microcomputer 111 and the inverter 112 and the like, and an oscillator such as a crystal oscillator, the CPU operating clock, timer interrupt, and the clock used as a reference for the random number generation circuit An oscillation circuit (crystal oscillator) 113 to be generated is included. The game control device 100 and electronic components such as a solenoid and a motor driven by the game control device 100 are supplied with a predetermined level of DC voltage such as DC32V, DC12V, and DC5V generated by the power supply device 400 so as to be operable. Is done.

  The power supply apparatus 400 includes a normal power supply including an AC-DC converter that generates the DC 32V DC voltage from a 24V AC power source, a DC-DC converter that generates a lower level DC voltage such as DC 12V and DC 5V from the DC 32V voltage, and the like. Unit 410, backup power supply unit 420 for supplying power supply voltage to the internal RAM of gaming microcomputer 111 in the event of a power failure, and a power failure monitoring circuit and an initialization switch to inform gaming control device 100 of the occurrence and recovery of power failure A control signal generation unit 430 that generates and outputs control signals such as a power failure monitoring signal, an initialization switch signal, and a reset signal is provided.

  In this embodiment, the power supply device 400 is configured separately from the game control device 100, but the backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 430 are integrated on a separate board or the game control device 100, that is, the main control device 100. You may comprise so that it may provide on a board | substrate. Since the game board 30 and the game control device 100 are to be replaced when the model is changed, the backup power supply unit 420 and the control signal generation unit 430 are provided on a board different from the power supply apparatus 400 or the main board as in the present embodiment. By providing this, it is possible to reduce the cost by removing it from the object of replacement.

  The backup power supply unit 420 can be composed of one large-capacity capacitor such as an electrolytic capacitor. The backup power is supplied to the game microcomputer 111 (particularly, the built-in RAM) of the game control device 100, and the data stored in the RAM is held even during a power failure or after the power is shut off. The control signal generation unit 430 monitors the voltage of 32V generated by the normal power supply unit 410, for example, detects the occurrence of a power failure when the voltage drops below 17V, for example, changes the power failure monitoring signal, and resets the signal after a predetermined time. Is output. In addition, a reset signal is output after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the power is turned on or the power is restored.

  The initialization switch signal is a signal generated when the initialization switch is turned on, and forcibly initializes information stored in the RAM 111C in the gaming microcomputer 111 and the RAM in the payout control device 200. . Although not particularly limited, the initialization switch signal is read when the power is turned on, and the power failure monitoring signal is repeatedly read in the main loop of the main program executed by the gaming microcomputer 111. The reset signal is a kind of forced interrupt signal and resets the entire control system.

  The gaming microcomputer 111 includes a CPU (central processing unit: microprocessor) 111A, a read-only ROM (read-only memory) 111B, and a RAM (random access memory) 111C that can be read and written as needed.

  The ROM 111B stores invariant information (programs, fixed data, various random number judgment values, etc.) for game control in a nonvolatile manner, and the RAM 111C stores a work area for the CPU 111A and various signals and random number values during game control. Used as As the ROM 111B or the RAM 111C, an electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM may be used.

In addition, the ROM 111B stores, for example, a variation pattern table for determining a variation pattern (variation mode) that defines the execution time of the special figure variation display game, the contents of the effects, the presence or absence of the reach state, and the like.
The variation pattern table is a table for the CPU 111A to determine the variation pattern by referring to the variation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 stored as the start memory. The variation pattern table includes a loss variation pattern table selected when the result is lost, a jackpot variation pattern table selected when the result is a big hit, and the like. Further, these pattern tables include a second half variation pattern table and a first half variation pattern table.

  Reach (reach state) has a display device whose display state can change, and the display device derives and displays a plurality of display results at different times, and the plurality of display results are predetermined. In the gaming machine 10 in which the gaming state becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player (special gaming state) when the special result mode is entered, the game is already derived at the stage where some of the plurality of display results are not yet derived and displayed. This means a display state in which the displayed display result satisfies the condition for the special result mode. In other words, the reach state is deviated from the display condition that is the special result mode even when the display device's variable display control progresses and reaches the stage before the display result is derived and displayed. There is no display mode. For example, a state where so-called full-rotation reach is performed in a variable display region while maintaining a state in which special result modes are aligned (so-called full rotation reach) is also included in the reach state. The reach state is a display state at the time when the display control of the display device has progressed to reach a stage before the display result is derived and displayed, and is determined before the display result is derived and displayed. The display state in the case where at least a part of the display results of the plurality of variable display areas satisfies the condition for the special result mode.

  Thus, for example, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game displayed on a display device corresponding to a special figure fluctuation display game fluctuates a plurality of identification information for a predetermined time in each of the left, middle, and right fluctuation display areas on the display device. After displaying, when the display of the result mode is stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, the condition that becomes the special result mode is satisfied in the left and right variable display areas (for example, The state in which the variable display is stopped with the same identification information) is the reach state. In addition to this, when the variable display of all the variable display areas is temporarily stopped, the condition that the special result mode is satisfied in any two of the left, middle, and right variable display areas (for example, the same The state in which the identification information is obtained (except for the special result mode) may be set as the reach state, and the remaining one variable display area may be variably displayed from the reach state. This reach state includes a plurality of reach productions, and the possibility that a special result mode is derived (different reliability) includes normal reach, special 1 reach, special 2 reach, special 3 reach, Special 4 reach etc. are set.

  The reliability increases in the order of no reach <normal reach <special 1 reach <special 2 reach <special 3 reach <special 4 reach. In addition, this reach state is included in a variable display mode at least in a case where a special result mode is derived in a special figure variable display game (when a big hit is achieved). That is, it may be included in the variable display mode in the case where it is determined that the special result mode is not derived in the special figure variable display game (when it is out of date). Therefore, the state in which the reach state has occurred is a state that is more likely to be a big hit than the case in which the reach state does not occur.

The CPU 111A executes a game control program in the ROM 111B to generate control signals (commands) for the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300, and generate and output drive signals and the like for the solenoid and the display device. The entire machine 10 is controlled.
Although not shown, the game microcomputer 111 is a jackpot determining random number for the special figure variation display game, a big hit symbol random number for determining the big hit symbol, a variation pattern in the special figure variation display game (various reach and reach). A random number generation circuit for generating a variation pattern random number for determining a variation display game in a variation display with no change), a random number for determining a hit of a normal variation display game, and the like from the oscillation circuit 113 Based on the oscillation signal (original clock signal), a clock generator is provided that generates a timer interrupt signal for a predetermined period (for example, 4 milliseconds) for the CPU 111A and a clock that gives the update timing of the random number generation circuit.

  In addition, the CPU 111A selects one of a plurality of variation pattern tables stored in the ROM 111B in a start port switch monitoring process (step A1) or a special figure routine process (step A9) in a special figure game process to be described later. One fluctuation pattern table is acquired. Specifically, the CPU 111A determines the game result (big hit or miss) of the special figure fluctuation display game, the probability state (normal probability state or high probability state) of the special figure fluctuation display game as the current game state, and the current game. Based on the operation state (normal operation state or short-time operation state) of the normal variation winning device 37 as a state, the number of start memories, etc., one of the variation pattern tables is selected and acquired. To do.

In addition, the payout control device 200 drives the payout motor of the payout unit based on the ball rental request signal from the card unit, and performs control for paying out the ball.

  The input unit 120 of the gaming microcomputer 111 includes a start port 1 switch 36a in the start winning port 36, a start port 2 switch 37a in the normal variation winning device 37, a gate switch 34a in the usual start gate 34, and a general winning port. The switches 35a to 35n and the count switch 38a are connected via the proximity I / F 121. When the connected switch is a proximity switch, the proximity I / F 121 receives a negative logic signal such as a high level of 11V and a low level of 7V supplied from the switch, and a positive logic signal of 0V-5V. It is an interface chip that converts to Proximity I / F 121 seems to be floating because the input range is 7V-11V, the lead wire of the proximity switch is improperly shorted, the switch is disconnected from the connector, or the lead wire is disconnected. An abnormal state can be detected, and an abnormality detection signal is output.

  All the outputs of the proximity I / F 121 are supplied to the second input port 122 and read into the gaming microcomputer 111 via the data bus 140, and also supplied from the main board 100 to the test firing test apparatus (not shown) via the relay board 70. It is like that. In addition, the detection signals of the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a among the outputs of the proximity I / F 121 are input to the gaming microcomputer 111 via the inverting circuit 112 in addition to the second input port 122. It is configured. The inversion circuit 112 is provided because the signal input terminal of the gaming microcomputer 111 is assumed to receive a signal from a microswitch or the like, and is detected as a negative logic, that is, a low level (0 V) as an effective level. Because it is designed to do.

  Therefore, when a micro switch is used as the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a, the detection signal can be directly input to the gaming microcomputer 111 without providing the inverting circuit 112. That is, when it is desired to directly input negative logic signals from the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a to the gaming microcomputer 111, the proximity switch cannot be used. As described above, the proximity I / F 121 has a signal level conversion function. In order to enable such a level conversion function, the proximity I / F 121 is supplied with a voltage of 12 V from the power supply device 400 in addition to a voltage such as 5 V required for normal IC operation. It has become.

  In addition, the input unit 120 includes a signal from the fraud detection magnetic sensor switch 61 and the vibration sensor switch 62 provided on the opening / closing frame 12 of the gaming machine 10 and the start winning opening 36 converted by the proximity I / F 121. The start port 1 switch 36a in the inside, the start port 2 switch 37a in the normal variation winning device 37, the gate switch 34a, the general winning port switches 35a to 35n, and the signals from the count switch 38a are taken in via the data bus 140. A second input port 122 for supplying to the microcomputer 111 is provided. The data held by the second input port 122 is read by asserting the enable signal CE1 (changing to an effective level) by the gaming microcomputer 111 decoding the address assigned to the second input port 122. be able to. The same applies to other ports described later.

  Further, the input unit 120 receives signals and payouts from the front frame opening detection switch 63 provided on the glass frame 15 and the like of the gaming machine 10 and the game frame opening detection switch 64 provided on the opening and closing frame (game frame) 12 and the like. A status signal indicating a payout abnormality from the control device 200, a shot ball break switch signal indicating a shortage of game balls before payout, and an overflow switch signal indicating overflow are fetched and supplied to the game microcomputer 111 via the data bus 140. One input port 123 is provided. The overflow switch signal is a signal that is output when it is detected that a predetermined amount or more of game balls are stored in the lower plate 23 (full).

  Further, the input unit 120 is provided with a Schmitt trigger circuit 124 for inputting signals such as a power failure monitoring signal, an initialization switch signal, and a reset signal from the power supply device 400 to the gaming microcomputer 111 and the like. The circuit 124 has a function of removing noise from these input signals. Of the signals from the power supply device 400, the power failure monitoring signal and the initialization switch signal are once inputted to the first input port 123 and taken into the gaming microcomputer 111 via the data bus 140. That is, it is treated as a signal equivalent to the signal from the various switches described above. This is because the number of terminals receiving external signals provided in the gaming microcomputer 111 is limited.

  On the other hand, the reset signal RST from which noise has been removed by the Schmitt trigger circuit 124 is directly input to a reset terminal provided in the gaming microcomputer 111 and is supplied to each port of the output unit 130. Further, the reset signal RST is directly output to the relay board 70 without going through the output unit 130, thereby turning off the test test signal held in the port (not shown) of the relay board 70 for output to the test board. It is configured as follows. Further, the reset signal RST may be configured to be output to the test firing test apparatus via the relay board 70. The reset signal RST is not supplied to the ports 122 and 123 of the input unit 120. Data set to each port of the output unit 130 by the gaming microcomputer 111 immediately before the reset signal RST is input needs to be reset to prevent malfunction of the system, but each data of the input unit 120 is input immediately before the reset signal RST is input. This is because the data read by the gaming microcomputer 111 from the port is discarded when the gaming microcomputer 111 is reset.

  The output unit 130 is connected to the data bus 140 and outputs a 4-bit data signal output to the payout control device 200, a control signal (data strobe signal) indicating validity / invalidity of the data, and a data strobe signal SSTB output to the effect control device 300. 1 and a second output port 132 for generating an 8-bit data signal to be output to the effect control device 300. Data is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300 by parallel communication. In addition, the data strobe signal from the first output port 131 is provided to the output unit 130 so that a signal cannot be input to the game control device 100 from the side of the effect control device 300, that is, to ensure one-way communication. A unidirectional buffer 133 that outputs an 8-bit data signal from the SSTB and the second output port 132 is provided. A buffer may be provided for a signal output from the first output port 131 to the payout control device 200.

  In addition, the output unit 130 is connected to the data bus 140 via a relay board 70 for data indicating special symbol information of the variable display game to a test firing test apparatus of an accredited organization (not shown) and a signal indicating the probability status of jackpot. The output buffer 134 is configured to be mountable. This buffer 134 is a component that is not mounted on a game control device (main board) of a pachinko gaming machine as an actual machine (mass production product) installed in the game store. A detection signal output from the proximity I / F 121, such as a start port switch that does not require processing, is supplied to the test firing test apparatus via the relay board 70 without passing through the buffer 134.

  On the other hand, detection signals such as the magnetic sensor switch 61 and the vibration sensor switch 62 that cannot be supplied to the test fire testing device as they are are once taken into the gaming microcomputer 111 and processed into other signals or information. An error signal indicating that the control is not possible is supplied from the data bus 140 to the trial test apparatus via the buffer 134 and the relay board 70. The relay board 70 is provided with a port that takes in the signal output from the buffer 134 and supplies it to the test test apparatus, a connector that relays and transmits a signal line of a switch detection signal that does not pass through the buffer, and the like. ing. A chip enable signal CE output from the gaming microcomputer 111 is also supplied to the port on the relay board 70, and the signal of the port selected and controlled by the signal CE is supplied to the test firing test apparatus.

  In addition, the output unit 130 is connected to the data bus 140 and is connected to the data bus 140 to open a special variation winning device 38 (a large winning opening solenoid) 38b and a solenoid (normal electric solenoid) 37c to open a movable member 37b of the normal variation winning device 37.

A fourth output port 136 for outputting ON / OFF data of the segment line connected to the anode terminal, and a fifth output port 137 for outputting information related to the gaming machine 10 such as jackpot information to the external information terminal 71 are provided. It has been. Information relating to the gaming machine 10 output from the external information terminal 71 is supplied to, for example, an information collection terminal installed in a game store or a game hall internal management device (not shown).

  Further, the output unit 130 receives the opening / closing data signal of the big prize opening solenoid 38b output from the third output port 135, and receives the solenoid driving signal and the opening / closing data signal of the power solenoid 37c to generate the solenoid driving signal. A first driver (drive circuit) 138a for outputting, a second driver 138b for outputting an on / off drive signal for a digit line on the current drawing side of the collective display device 50 outputted from the third output port 135, and a fourth output port 136 The external information signal supplied to the external device such as the management device from the third driver 138c and the fifth output port 137 for outputting the ON / OFF drive signal of the segment line on the current supply side of the collective display device 50 output from the external information A fourth driver 138d for outputting to the terminal 71 is provided.

Also, DC12V is supplied to the third driver 138c that drives the segment lines of the collective display device 50. Since the second driver 138b for driving the digit line is for extracting the digit line corresponding to the display data with a current, the power supply voltage may be either 12V or 5V. The third driver 138c that outputs 12V causes a current to flow to the anode terminal of the LED via the segment line, and the second driver 138b that outputs the ground potential extracts the current via the segment line from the cathode terminal. The power supply voltage flows through the LEDs sequentially selected in step 1 so that the LEDs are lit. The fourth driver 138d that outputs the external information signal to the external information terminal 71 is supplied with DC12V in order to give the external information signal a level of 12V. The buffer 134, the third output port 135, the first driver 138a, and the like may be provided on the output board 130 of the game control device 100, that is, on the relay board 70 side instead of the main board.

  Further, the output unit 130 is provided with a photocoupler 139 for transmitting information such as an identification code and a program of each gaming machine to the external inspection device 500. The photocoupler 139 is configured to be capable of two-way communication so that the gaming microcomputer 111 can transmit and receive data to and from the inspection device 500 through serial communication. Note that such data transmission / reception is performed using a serial communication terminal included in the gaming microcomputer 111 in the same manner as a normal general-purpose microprocessor, and therefore, ports such as the input ports 122 and 123 are not provided.

  Note that the video control microcomputer (2ndCPU) 312 uses a CPU that is faster or more expensive than the main control microcomputer (1stCPU) 311. By providing a video control microcomputer (2ndCPU) 312 separately from the main control microcomputer (1stCPU) 311 and sharing the processing, it is possible to display a fast moving image on a large screen that is difficult to achieve with the main control microcomputer (1stCPU) 311 alone. It is possible to display on the display device 41, and it is possible to suppress an increase in cost compared to the case where two CPUs having processing capabilities equivalent to the video control microcomputer (2nd CPU) 312 are used. Also, by providing two CPUs, it becomes possible to separately develop the control programs for the two CPUs in parallel, thereby shortening the development period of the new model.

Thereby, the cooperation of the operations of the video control microcomputer 312 and the VDP 313 can be improved.

Next, game control performed in these control circuits will be described.
The CPU 111A of the game microcomputer 111 of the game control device 100 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the normal figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate switch 34a provided to the normal figure start gate 34, and the ROM 111B. Is compared with the determination value stored in the table, and a process of determining a missed hit of the normal game display game is performed. Then, after the identification information (identification symbol) is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general-purpose display 53, a process for displaying a normal-variation display game to be stopped is performed. When the result of the normal map fluctuation display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 53 and the general electric solenoid 37c is operated so that the movable members 37b and 37b of the normal variable prize winning device 37 are predetermined. Control is performed as described above for time (for example, 0.3 seconds).
In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed on the general map display 53 to display the result form of the shift.

Further, based on the input of the game ball detection signal from the start port 1 switch 36a provided in the start winning port 36, the start winning (starting memory) is stored in the RAM 111C or the like, and based on this starting memory, the first special figure variation is stored. A random hit value for determining the big hit of the display game is extracted and compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B, and a process of determining a miss of the first special figure variable display game is performed.
In addition, the start memory is stored in the RAM 111C or the like based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the start port 2 switch 37a provided in the normal variation winning device 37, and based on this start memory, the second special figure variable display game is stored. The big hit determination random number value is extracted and compared with the determination value stored in the ROM 111B, and a process of determining a miss of the second special figure variation display game is performed.

Then, the CPU 111 </ b> A of the game control device 100 outputs a control signal (effect control command) including the determination results of the first special figure variation display game and the second special figure variation display game to the effect control device 300. Then, after the identification information (identification symbol) is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52, a process of displaying a special figure fluctuation display game to be stopped is performed.
In addition, in the production control device 300, based on the control signal from the game control device 100, the display device 41 performs a process of displaying the decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game.
Furthermore, in the production control device 300, based on a control signal from the game control device 100, a production state (production mode) setting, sound output from the speakers 19a and 19b, processing for controlling light emission of various LEDs, and the like are performed.

That is, the display device 41 is a decorative display device capable of displaying a variable display game in which a plurality of pieces of identification information (decorative special symbols) are displayed in a variable manner.
In addition, the game control device 100 serves as a game control means for performing progress control of the variable display game based on winning in the start winning area (start winning port 36, normal variable winning device 37) of the game ball flowing down the game area 32. .
Further, the effect control device 300 serves as effect control means for performing display control of the variable display game based on command information from the game control means (game control device 100).

Then, the CPU 111A of the game control device 100 displays the special result mode on the special figure 1 display 51 or the special figure 2 display 52 and generates a special gaming state when the result of the special figure variation display game is a win. To perform the process.
In the process of generating the special game state, the CPU 111A performs control for allowing the game ball to flow into the special winning opening by, for example, opening the open / close door 38c of the special variable winning apparatus 38 by the special winning opening solenoid 38b. .
If the result of the special figure variation display game is a win, whether a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the big winning opening, or whether a predetermined openable time elapses from the opening of the big winning opening Opening the grand prize opening until one of the above conditions is achieved is defined as one round, and a control (cycle game) is performed in which this is repeated (repeated) a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times or 2 times).
Further, when the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the special figure 1 display 51 and the special figure 2 display 52 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

In addition, the game control device 100 can generate a high probability state as a gaming state after the special gaming state ends based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game.
This high probability state is a state in which the probability of a hit result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. Moreover, even if it becomes a high probability state based on the result aspect of any of the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure Both of the variable display games are in a high probability state.

In addition, the game control device 100 can generate a short-time state (ordinary high probability state) as a gaming state after the special gaming state ends based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game.
In this short time state, the normal variation display game and the normal variation winning device 37 are controlled to be in the short time operation state, and the normal variation winning device per unit time is compared to the case where the normal variation winning device 37 is in the normal operation state. The opening time of 37 is controlled so as to be substantially increased.

  For example, in the short-time state, it is possible to control the execution time of the above-described normal map change display game (the normal map change time) to be the second change display time shorter than the first change display time (for example, 10,000 milliseconds is 600 milliseconds). Further, in the short time state, it is possible to control the general map stop time for displaying the result of the normal map change display game to be the second stop time shorter than the first stop time (for example, 1604 milliseconds). Is 704 milliseconds). Also, in the short-time state, when the normal variation winning game 37 is released as a result of the normal-variation display game being won, the opening time (general power open time) is set to the normal state (low-probability state) It is possible to control the second opening time to be longer than one opening time (for example, 300 milliseconds is 800 milliseconds). In the short-time state, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 37 (number of times of opening of the general electric power) is not equal to the first number of times of opening for one time with respect to the result of one hit of the normal figure changing display game. It is possible to set the second number of times of opening a plurality of times (for example, 3 times). Also, in the short-time state, the probability that the hit result of the normal map variation display game (normal map probability) is higher than the normal probability (normal low probability state) in the normal operation state (high normal probability) State).

In the short time state, the normal variation winning device 37 is in an open state by changing any one or more of the normal time fluctuation time, the normal time stop time, the number of times of normal power release, the time of normal power release, and the probability of normal time. Make the conversion time longer than usual.
Further, the high probability state and the short time state can be generated independently, and both can be generated simultaneously or only one can be generated.
In the following description and drawings, the time reduction state may be referred to as a specific gaming state, a general power support state, or a power support state.

  Next, the display of a stereoscopic image and the movable accessory, which are characteristic of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, will be described.

  The display device 41 is configured to display a special symbol or effect image for a variable display game in a three-dimensional (three-dimensional) manner. In this embodiment, a parallax barrier method is adopted as a method for performing stereoscopic display.

  FIG. 5 shows the principle of stereoscopic display by a parallax barrier display device. FIG. 5A shows the image display unit of the display device 41 from above, and the vertical direction in FIG. 5A corresponds to the horizontal direction of the display device 41. Image data processing is performed so that the left image L and the right image R are alternately displayed on the pixels in the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal panel 42 of the display device 41. The left image L is an image corresponding to the left eye of the player, and the right image R is an image corresponding to the right eye of the player. A backlight unit (not shown) is disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 42 to illuminate the liquid crystal panel from behind.

A parallax barrier unit 43 is disposed in front of the liquid crystal panel 42 (to the right in the drawing). In this parallax barrier section 43, barriers and slits are provided alternately, the barrier is a closed portion and blocks light from the liquid crystal panel 42, and the slit is an opening portion and passes light from the liquid crystal panel 42. The slits are formed at a predetermined pitch. Therefore, the gap between the slits becomes a barrier to block a part of the image, and by positioning the player's eye at a predetermined position, only the right image R for the right eye is visible to the right eye, Only the left image L for the left eye is visible to the left eye. As a result, for the player, as shown in FIG. 5B, the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 42 can be viewed stereoscopically at a position spaced forward from the display surface 41a or displayed on the liquid crystal panel 42. The displayed image can be viewed three-dimensionally at a position spaced rearward from the display surface 41a.
That is, the display device 41 as a decorative display device is configured to be able to display a planar image visually recognized on the display surface 41a and a stereoscopic image visually recognized before or after the display surface 41a or in the front-rear direction. .

Further, by controlling the display of the right image R and the left image L so as to change the parallax caused by the right image R and the left image L, the position from the display surface 41a where the stereoscopic image is viewed (that is, the stereoscopic display) The amount of the projected image etc.) can be changed.
Note that the 3D display method is not limited to the parallax barrier method, but other methods such as a lenticular method and a frame sequential method (in this case, each gaming machine is equipped with dedicated glasses). May be adopted.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a first combination (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12, and first combination C40d13) provided on the right side of the center case 40 as a movable combination. And a second accessory 40d2 provided on the upper part of the center case 40.
FIG. 24A shows a front perspective view of the center case 40, and FIG. 24B shows a side sectional view of the center case 40.
For example, as shown to Fig.24 (a), (b), the 1st actor 40d11-40d13 and the 2nd actor 40d2 are arrange | positioned ahead of the display surface 41a. The first accessory B40d12 is arranged at a position farther from the display surface 41a than the first accessory A40d11. The first accessory C40d13 is disposed at a position farther from the display surface 41a than the first accessory B40d12. The second accessory 40d2 is arranged at a position farther from the display surface 41a than the first accessory C40d13.

Here, in the present embodiment, the effect control means (effect control device 300) selects a position from the display surface 41a where the stereoscopic image is visually recognized from a plurality of separated positions, and causes the stereoscopic image to appear at the selected separated positions. It is configured to be possible.
Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 24B, the effect control device 300 uses a separation position (“3D level”) corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the first accessory A40d11 as the separation position of the stereoscopic image. 1 ”), a separation position (“ 3D level 2 ”) corresponding to the position of the first accessory B40d12 from the display surface 41a, and a separation position (“ 3D level 2 ”) corresponding to the position of the first accessory C40d13 from the display surface 41a. 3D level 3 ”) and a separation position (“ 3D level 4 ”) corresponding to the position of the second accessory 40d2 from the display surface 41a, and a stereoscopic image is displayed at the selected separation position. It is possible.

In the present embodiment, the effect control means (the effect control device 300) is a display surface 41a of the movable accessory (first accessory A40d11, first accessory B40d12, first accessory C40d13 or second accessory 40d2). When a stereoscopic image appears at a separated position corresponding to the position from the position, an effect for operating the movable accessory can be executed.
Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 24B, the effect control device 300 can execute an effect that operates the first accessory A40d11 when a stereoscopic image appears at the separation position “3D level 1”. It has become. In addition, when a stereoscopic image appears at the separation position “3D level 2”, it is possible to execute an effect of operating the first accessory B40d12. In addition, when a stereoscopic image appears at the separation position “3D level 3”, it is possible to perform an effect of operating the first accessory C40d13. In addition, when a stereoscopic image appears at the separation position “3D level 4”, it is possible to perform an effect of operating the second accessory 40d2.
In this way, a stereoscopic image appears by operating a movable combination arranged at a position corresponding to the position where the stereoscopic image appears (appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image) among the plurality of movable combinations. Since the position becomes clear, it is possible to make the stereoscopic effect of the stereoscopic image stand out.

Hereinafter, control of the gaming machine 10 that performs such a game will be described.
First, the control executed by the game microcomputer (game microcomputer) 111 of the game control device 100 will be described. The control process by the gaming microcomputer 111 mainly includes a main process shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 and a timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 8 performed at a predetermined time period (for example, 4 milliseconds).

[Main processing]
First, the main process will be described.
The main process is started when the gaming machine 10 is turned on.
In this main process, as shown in FIG. 6, an interrupt vector setting process (step S1) is first performed to set a jump destination vector address to be executed when an interrupt occurs. Step S2), a stack pointer setting process for setting a stack pointer that is the start address of an area for saving a value of a register or the like when an interrupt occurs (Step S3), an interrupt mode setting process for setting an interrupt processing mode (Step S4) is performed.

Next, in order to wait for the program of the payout control apparatus (payout board) 200 to start normally, for example, a time of 4 milliseconds is waited (step S5). As a result, when the gaming machine 10 is turned on, the game control device 100 rises first and sends the command to the payout control device 200 before the payout control device 200 starts up, and the payout control device 200 misses the command. Can be avoided.
Next, access to a readable / writable RWM (read / write memory) such as a RAM or EEPROM is permitted, and OFF data is set so that there is no output in all output ports (steps S6 and S7).
Next, a serial port (a port that is pre-installed in the gaming microcomputer 111 and is not used in this embodiment because it performs parallel communication with the payout control device 200 and the effect control device 300) is set to a state in which it is not used. Processing is performed (step S8).

Next, it is determined whether or not the initialization switch in the power supply device 400 is ON (step S9).
If it is determined in step S9 that the initialization switch is OFF (step S9; No), it is checked whether the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RWM is normal power interruption inspection area check data 1 (step S10). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the power failure inspection area 1 is normal (step S11).
If it is determined in step S11 that the value of the power failure inspection area 1 is normal (step S11; Yes), it is checked whether the value of the power failure inspection area 2 in the RWM is normal power failure inspection area check data 2 (Step S12), it is determined whether or not the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (Step S13).
If it is determined in step S13 that the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal (step S13; Yes), a checksum of a predetermined area in the RWM is calculated (step S14), and the calculated checksum and the power cut-off are calculated. The current checksum is compared (step S15) to determine whether the checksums match (step S16).
If it is determined in step S16 that the checksums match (step S16; Yes), the process proceeds to step S17 in FIG.

  Moreover, when it determines with the initialization switch being ON at step S9 (step S9; Yes), or when it determines with the value of a power failure inspection area | region not being normal at step S11 or step S13 (step S11; No or step S13; No) ) If it is determined in step S16 that the checksums do not match (step S16; No), the process proceeds to step S24 in FIG. 7 to perform initialization processing.

In step S17 of FIG. 7, all the power failure inspection areas are cleared, the checksum area is cleared (step S18), and the area related to error and fraud monitoring is reset (step S19).
Next, an area for storing the gaming state in the RWM is examined to determine whether or not the gaming state is a high probability state (step S20).
If it is determined in step S20 that the state is not a high probability state (step S20; No), steps S21 and S22 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S23.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S20 that the state is a high probability state (step S20; Yes), ON information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (step S21), and the high probability provided in the collective display device 50, for example, is set. ON data for turning on (lighting) the notification LED (high probability notification device 58) is saved in the segment area (step S22).
Next, a process (step S23) of transmitting a command at the time of power failure recovery corresponding to a special figure game process number prepared for rationally executing a special figure game process described later to the effect control device 300 is performed (step S23). Proceed to S29.

On the other hand, when jumping from step S9, S11, S13, S16 to step S24, all work areas before the access prohibited area are cleared (step S24), and all stack areas after the access prohibited area are cleared. (Step S25), the initial value at power-on is saved in the area to be initialized (Step S26).
Next, a time value for outputting the external information related to RWM clear is set (step S27), a command for turning on the power is transmitted to the effect control device 300 (step S28), and the process proceeds to step S29.

  In step S29, a process of starting a CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates a timer interrupt signal and a random number update trigger signal (CTC) in the gaming microcomputer 111 (clock generator) is performed. The CTC circuit is provided in a clock generator in the gaming microcomputer 111. The clock generator divides an oscillation signal (original clock signal) from the crystal oscillator 113, and a timer interrupt signal having a predetermined period (for example, 4 milliseconds) for the CPU 111A based on the divided signal. And a CTC circuit for generating a signal CTC that gives a trigger for updating a random number to be supplied to the random number generation circuit.

After the CTC activation process in step S29, a process for activating and setting the random number generation circuit is performed (step S30). Specifically, the CPU 111A performs setting of a code (specified value) for starting the random number generation circuit in a predetermined register (CTC update permission register) in the random number generation circuit.
Next, the value of a predetermined register (soft random number registers 1 to n) in the random number generation circuit at power-on is extracted, and various corresponding initial value random numbers (random numbers for determining the big hit symbol (big hit symbol random number 1, big hit symbol random number) 2) After saving the initial value (start value) of a random number (winning random number) for determining the normal hit in a predetermined area of the RWM (step S31), the interruption is permitted (step S32). The random number generation circuit in the CPU 111A used in this embodiment is configured so that the initial value of the soft random number register changes every time the power is turned on. Therefore, this value is used as the initial value (start value) of various initial value random numbers. By doing so, it is possible to break the regularity of random numbers generated by software, making it difficult for a player to obtain illegal random numbers.

  Next, initial value random number update processing (step S33) is performed to update the values of various initial value random numbers to break the regularity of the random numbers. In the present embodiment, although not particularly limited, the big hit random number is configured to be generated using a random number (big hit random number) generated in a random number generation circuit. That is, the big hit random number is a hard random number generated by hardware, and the big hit symbol random number is a soft random number generated by software.

After the initial value random number update process in step S33, the number of times of checking by reading the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 400 via the port and the data bus is set (step S34), and the power failure monitoring signal is ON. It is determined whether or not there is (step S35).
If it is determined in step S35 that the power failure monitoring signal is not ON (step S35; No), the process returns to the initial value random number update process (step S33). That is, when no power failure has occurred, the initial value random number update processing and the power failure monitoring signal check (loop processing) are repeated. By permitting an interrupt before the initial value random number update process (step S33) (step S32), if a timer interrupt occurs during the initial value random number update process, the interrupt process is executed with priority, and the timer interrupt Can be prevented from being interrupted by waiting for the initial value random number update process.

  Note that the initial value random number update process in step S33 includes a method of performing an initial value random number update process in the timer interrupt process in addition to the main process. In order to avoid execution of the value random number update process, when performing the initial value random number update process in the main process, it is necessary to disable the interrupt and then update to cancel the interrupt. If the initial value random number update process in the timer interrupt process is not performed in the main process and only the main process is performed, there is no problem even if the interrupt is canceled before the initial value random number update process. There is an advantage that it is simplified.

If it is determined in step S35 that the power failure monitoring signal is ON (step S35; Yes), it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is on for the number of checks set in step S35. Determination is made (step S36).
When it determines with not continuing at step S37 (step S36; No), it returns to determination (step S35) whether a power failure monitoring signal is ON.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S36 that it is continuing (step S36; Yes), that is, if it is determined that a power failure has occurred, processing for temporarily prohibiting interruption (step S37), all output ports A process of outputting OFF data to (step S38).

Next, the power failure inspection region check data 1 is saved in the power failure inspection region 1 (step S39), and the power failure inspection region check data 2 is saved in the power failure inspection region 2 (step S40).
Next, a process for calculating a checksum when the RWM is turned off (step S41), a process for saving the calculated checksum in the checksum area (step S42), and a process for prohibiting access to the RWM (step S43) are performed. After that, it waits for the power supply of the gaming machine 10 to be cut off. As described above, the check data is saved in the power failure inspection area and the checksum at the time of power interruption is calculated, so that the information stored in the RWM before the power interruption of the gaming machine 10 due to the power failure is properly backed up. It can be determined whether or not the gaming machine 10 is turned on again.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described.
The timer interrupt process is started when a periodic timer interrupt signal generated by the CTC circuit in the clock generator is input to the CPU 111A. When a timer interrupt occurs in the CPU 111A, the timer interrupt process of FIG. 8 is started.

When the timer interrupt process is started, the game control apparatus 100 first performs a register saving process (step S51) in which a value held in a predetermined register is transferred to the RWM. In the Z80 microcomputer used as the gaming microcomputer in this embodiment, the processing can be replaced by saving the value held in the front register to the back register.
Next, input from various sensors (start port 1 switch 36a, start port 2 switch 37a, usual gate switch 34a, general winning port switches 35a to 35n, count switch 38a, etc.), that is, the state of each input port Is input (step S52).
Next, based on the output data set in various processes, an output process (step S53) for performing drive control of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL38b, ordinary electric power SOL37c) or the like is performed.

Next, a command transmission process (step S54), a random number update process 1 (step S55), and a random number update process 2 (step S56) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the effect control device 300, the payout control device 200, and the like. )I do.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the special game process, the game control device 100 first performs a start port switch monitoring process (step A1) for monitoring a winning of the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a.
In this start port switch monitoring process, if there is a winning game ball in the start winning port 36 that forms the first start winning port and the normal variable winning device 37 that forms the second start winning port, various random numbers (such as big hit random numbers) are extracted. The game result prior determination is performed in advance to determine the game result based on the winning in the stage before the start of the special figure variation display game based on the winning.

Next, a count switch monitoring process (step A2) is performed.
In this count switch monitoring process, a process of monitoring the count number of the count switch 38a provided in the special variation winning device 38 is performed.

Next, it is checked whether the special figure game processing timer has already expired or the special figure game process timer has been updated (-1) (step A3). It is determined whether the time is up (step A4).
If it is determined in step A4 that the special figure game process timer has expired (step A4; Yes), a special figure game sequence branch table to be referred to branch to the process corresponding to the special figure game process number is registered. (Step A5) is performed, and a process (step A6) of acquiring a branch destination address of the process corresponding to the special figure game process number is performed using the table.
Next, after performing the process of saving the return address after the branch process to the stack area (step A7), the game branch process (step A8) is performed according to the special figure game process number.

  If the special figure game process number is “0” in step A8, the fluctuation start of the special figure fluctuation display game is monitored, the fluctuation start setting of the special figure fluctuation display game, the setting of the production, the special figure fluctuation processing A special figure routine process (step A9) for setting information necessary for performing the process is performed.

Also, if the special figure game process number is “1” in step A8, the special figure is changing to set the stop display time of the special figure or to set the information necessary for performing the special figure display process. Processing (step A10) is performed.
In addition, when the special figure game process number is “2” in step A8, if the game result of the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit, the fanfare command setting corresponding to the type of the big hit or the big win for each big hit A special chart display process (step A11) is performed for setting the fanfare time according to the mouth opening pattern and setting information necessary for performing the fanfare / interval process.

Next, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric winning component (ordinary variation winning device 37) is in operation, that is, whether or not the ordinary variation winning device 37 is activated and the game ball can be won (step). A113).
If it is determined in step A113 that the ordinary electric accessory is in operation (step A113; Yes), the process proceeds to step A116, and the subsequent processes are performed.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step A113 that the ordinary electric accessory is not in operation (step A113; No), it is checked whether the number of fraudulent winnings to the normal variation winning device 37 is greater than or equal to the fraud occurrence determination number. (Step A114), it is determined whether or not the number of fraudulent winnings is equal to or greater than the number of fraud determination (Step A115). The normal variation winning device 37 cannot win a game ball in the closed state, and can win a game ball only in the open state. Therefore, when the game ball wins in the closed state, it is a case where some abnormality or fraud has occurred. When there is a game ball won in such a closed state, the number is counted as the number of illegal wins. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of illegal winnings thus counted is equal to or greater than a predetermined fraud occurrence determination number (upper limit value).

If it is determined in step A115 that the number of fraudulent winnings is not equal to or greater than the number of fraud determinations (step A115; No), after preparing a table for setting information on hold by the start port 2 (ordinary variable winning device 37) (step A115) A116), special figure start port switch common processing (step A117) is performed, and start port switch monitoring processing is terminated.
In addition, when it is determined in step A115 that the number of fraudulent winnings is equal to or greater than the number of fraud determinations (step A115; Yes), the start port switch monitoring process is also terminated. That is, the second start memory is not generated any more.

[Special figure start port switch common processing]
Next, details of the special-purpose start-port switch common processing (steps A112 and A117) in the above-described start-port switch monitoring processing will be described.
The special figure start port switch common process is a process performed in common for each input when there is an input from the start port 1 switch 36a or the start port 2 switch 37a.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the special figure start port switch common process, the game control device 100 first starts the monitoring target start port switch (for example, the start port 1) among the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a. It is checked whether or not there is an input to the switch 36a or the like (step A201), and it is determined whether or not there is an input to the monitoring target start port switch (step A202).
If it is determined in step A202 that there is no input to the monitoring target start port switch (step A202; No), the special-purpose start port switch common process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step A202 that there is an input to the monitored start port switch (step A202; Yes), after saving the start port winning flag of the monitored start port switch (step A203), The extracted big hit random number is loaded into the monitored hard random number latch register and prepared (step A204).

Next, of the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a, information regarding the number of winnings to the start port switch to be monitored (for example, the start port 1 switch 36a) is sent to the management device outside the gaming machine 10. The number of times output (start port signal output number) is loaded (step A205).
Next, the start port signal output count is updated (+1) to check whether the output count overflows (step A206), and it is determined whether the output count overflows (step A207).
If it is determined in step A207 that the number of outputs does not overflow (step A207; No), the updated value is saved in the start signal output number area of the RWM (step A208), and the process proceeds to step A209. To do.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step A207 that the output count has overflowed (step A207; Yes), the process proceeds to step A209.

  And, among the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a, the number of special figure reservation (start memory) to be updated corresponding to the start port switch to be monitored (for example, the start port 1 switch 36a) is less than the upper limit value. Is checked (step A209), and it is determined whether or not the special figure hold number is less than the upper limit value (step A210).

If it is determined in step A210 that the number of special figure hold is less than the upper limit (step A210; Yes), the number of special figure hold to be updated (for example, the number of special figure hold 1) is updated (+1). Processing (step A211) is performed.
Next, after preparing the decoration special figure reservation number command (MODE) of the start port switch to be monitored (for example, the start port 1 switch 36a) of the start port 1 switch 36a and the start port 2 switch 37a (step A212). Then, a decoration special figure hold number command (ACTION) corresponding to the special figure hold number is prepared (step A213), and a command setting process (step A214) is performed.
Next, the address of the random number save area corresponding to the special figure hold number is calculated (step A215), and the big hit random number is saved in the big hit random number save area of the RWM (step A216).

Next, the jackpot symbol random number of the starter switch to be monitored is extracted and prepared (step A217), and saved in the jackpot symbol random number saving area of the RWM (step A218).
Next, the corresponding fluctuation pattern random numbers 1 to 3 are extracted and saved in the save area of each random number of the RWM (steps A219, A220, A221), and the special figure hold information determination process (step A222) is performed to start the special figure The mouth switch common processing is terminated.
That is, the game control device 100 (specifically, the RAM 111C) is a variable display game (special figure variable display game) based on the winning of a game ball in the start winning area (start winning port 36, normal variable winning device 37). A plurality of random numbers related to the execution are extracted, and a start memory holding unit capable of storing a predetermined number as an upper limit as the start memory of the variable display game is provided.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step A210 that the special figure hold number is not less than the upper limit (step A210; No), whether or not the input of the start port switch according to step A202 is the input of the start port 1 switch 36a. Is checked (step A223), and it is determined whether or not the input is the start port 1 switch 36a (step A224).
When it is determined in step A224 that the input is the start port 1 switch 36a (step A224; Yes), a special decoration figure hold number command (hold overflow command) is prepared (step A225), and command setting processing (step A226) is performed, and the special figure start port switch common process is terminated.

[Special figure hold information judgment processing]
Next, the details of the special figure hold information determination process (step A222) in the special figure start port switch common process described above will be described.
The special figure hold information determination process is a prefetching process for determining the result related information corresponding to the start memory before the start timing of the special figure variation display game based on the corresponding start memory.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the special figure hold information determination process, the game control device 100 first checks whether a condition for executing the prefetch effect is satisfied (step A231), and executes the prefetch effect. It is determined whether or not a good condition is satisfied (step A232).
Here, “the condition under which the pre-reading effect may be executed” is that the input of the start port switch according to step A202 of the special-purpose start port switch common process is the input of the start port 2 switch 37a, or the start port switch Is the input of the start port 1 switch 36a, the opening extension function of the normally variable winning device 37 is not in operation, that is, the normally variable winning device 37 is not being supported (during the short-time operation state), and It means that it is not in big hit. In other words, when the input of the start port switch according to step A202 of the special figure start port switch common processing is the start port 2 switch 37a, the start is performed regardless of whether the normal variation winning device 37 is being supported or the big hit. A prefetching process for determining the result related information corresponding to the storage is performed.

If it is determined in step A232 that the conditions for executing the prefetch effect are not satisfied (step A232; No), the special figure hold information determination process is terminated.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step A232 that the conditions for executing the pre-reading effect are satisfied (step A232; Yes), the big hit determination process (step A233) is performed, and the determination result of the big hit determination process in step A233 Is a big hit (step A234).

If it is determined in step A234 that the determination result of the big hit determination process in step A233 is a big hit (step A234; Yes), a big hit symbol random number check table corresponding to the monitored start port switch is set (step A235). ). Next, the jackpot symbol random number is checked, the corresponding jackpot information table is acquired and set (step A236), and the process proceeds to step A238.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step A234 that the determination result of the big hit determination process in step A233 is not a big hit (step A234; No), a loss information table is set (step A237), and the process proceeds to step A238.

Next, symbol information is acquired from the set information table (big hit information table or loss information table), and the acquired symbol information is saved in the symbol information (work) area (step A238).
Next, the start opening winning effect symbol command (game result information) is acquired from the set information table, and the acquired starting opening winning effect symbol command is saved in the winning effect symbol command area (step A239).

Next, a start port winning flag of the start port switch to be monitored is prepared (step A240), and a start port winning effect command setting table to be monitored is prepared (step A241). Next, special figure information setting processing (step A242), second-half variation pattern setting processing (step A243), and variation pattern setting processing (step A244) are performed.
Next, a start opening prize effect command (MODE) corresponding to the first variation number is calculated and prepared (step A245), and the second half variation number value is prepared as a start opening prize effect command (ACTION) (step A246). A setting process (step A247) is performed.
Next, a start opening winning effect design command is loaded and prepared (step A248), a command setting process (step A249) is performed, and the special figure hold information determination process is terminated.

In other words, the game control device 100 determines the result of the variable display game (special figure variable display game) based on the random number stored as the start memory in the start memory holding means (game control device 100) before the start of the variable display game. And a game result preliminary determination means for generating game result information (start opening prize effect command, start opening prize effect symbol command).
In addition, the game control device 100 can transmit the game result information generated by the game result advance determination unit (game control device 100) to the effect control unit (effect control device 300) as the advance determination information. Provides a transmission means.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step A276 that the customer waiting demo has already started (step A276; Yes), the customer waiting demo flag is already saved in the customer waiting demo flag area (step A277), Since the demo command is also prepared (step A278) and the command setting process (step A279) is also executed, the process proceeds to step A280 without performing these processes.
Then, the special figure normal process transition setting process 1 (step A280) is performed, and the special figure normal process is terminated.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step A272 that the number of special figure 2 hold is not 0 (step A272; No), special figure 2 fluctuation start processing 1 (step A281) is performed.
Then, the special figure changing process transition setting process (step A282) of the special figure 2 is performed, and the special figure ordinary process is terminated.

A holding display process (step B55) for setting the display of the number of special decorations to be displayed (holding symbol) is performed.
Next, a customer waiting demo process relating to the display of the customer waiting demo (step B56), a scene control / display process for determining display contents based on the received command (step B57), and transferring ROM data to a buffer set in the RAM Then, the display system process (step B58) for performing the actual display process is performed, and the normal game process is terminated.

[Scene control processing]
Next, the details of the scene control process (step B22) in the first main process described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 19, in the scene control process, the effect control device 300 first determines whether or not it is in the test mode (step B61).
If it is determined in step B61 that the test mode is being executed (step B61; Yes), the scene control process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B61 that the test mode is not in effect (step B61; No), it is determined whether a scene change command has been received (step B62). The scene change commands are various commands relating to games transmitted from the game control device 100 to the effect control device 300.

If it is determined in step B62 that a scene change command has been received (step B62; Yes), the game state to be updated (current game state) is acquired (step B63), and it is determined whether the command is a valid command. Determine (step B64). In determining whether the command is valid, it is determined whether the received scene change command is valid for the acquired current gaming state.
Next, when it is determined that the command is valid (step B64; Yes), the received command is saved (step B65), an effect request flag is set (step B66), and the command identifier of the received command is branched. Processing (step B67) is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step B62 that no scene change command has been received (step B62; No), or if it is determined that the command is not valid in step B64 (step B64; No), the command of the received command Branch processing based on the identifier (step B67) is performed. In this case, a branch is performed based on the identifier of the command that was most recently valid.

In the branch process based on the command identifier (step B67), a process to be executed based on the received command is selected.
When a power-on command is received, a power-on process (step B68) for performing a process necessary when the power is turned on is performed.
When a power failure recovery command is received, a power failure recovery (other than waiting for a customer) process (step B69) is performed to perform processing necessary at the time of power failure recovery.
When a customer waiting demo command is received, a customer waiting process (step B70) for performing processing related to the display of the customer waiting demo is performed.

In addition, when a variation pattern command is received, a variation processing (step B71) for performing processing related to the execution of the decoration special figure variation display game is performed. In the changing process, information necessary to play the decorative special figure changing display game is set. In the setting of information necessary for playing this decoration special figure variation display game, for example, information included in the variation pattern command transmitted from the game control device 100 (whether it is a big hit, mode information, variation pattern information, etc.) Based on this, the production (variation pattern, variation time, etc.) is set.
When a symbol stop command is received, a symbol stop process (step B72), which is a process for stopping the variation display of the identification information in the decorative special symbol variation display game and displaying the result mode, is performed. In the symbol stop process, the stop display time of the result in the decorative special symbol variation display game is set.

When a fanfare command is received, a fanfare process (step B73), which is a process related to the start of the special game state, is performed.
In addition, when the large entry / release n-th command is received, an in-round process (step B74), which is a process related to a round game, is performed.
When an interval command is received, an interval process (step B75) that is a process related to an interval between rounds is performed.
When an ending command is received, an ending process (step B76), which is a process related to the end of the special gaming state, is performed.

After performing the above-described processes selected by the branch process based on the command identifier (step B67), a process based on a command that is not immediately reflected in the video is performed.
As this process, first, a symbol command reception process (step B77) for performing a process based on a decoration special command including information relating to a stop symbol of the special symbol variation display game is performed, and a pending number command including information relating to increase / decrease in the start memory ( A hold number command reception process (step B78) is performed for performing processing based on the special figure 1 hold number command and the special figure 2 hold number command.

Next, a prefetch command including a result of a prefetch process for determining the result of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory in advance before the execution of the special figure variation display game (start opening prize presentation command, start opening prize presentation symbol command) , Prefetch command reception processing (step B79) for performing processing based on the fall information command).
Next, a probability information command reception process (step B80) is performed in which a process based on a probability information command (falling information command, probability information command (low probability, high probability)) including information on the probability state is performed.

[Read-ahead command reception processing]
Next, details of the prefetch command reception process (step B79) in the above-described scene control process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 20, in the prefetch command reception process, the production control device 300 first starts waiting for reception of a prior determination command (start opening prize presentation command and start opening prize presentation symbol command: advance determination information). It is confirmed whether there is a memory (step B101), and it is determined whether there is a corresponding start memory (that is, a start memory waiting for reception) (step B102).

If it is determined in step B102 that there is no corresponding start-up memory (step B102; No), the prefetch command receiving process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B102 that there is a corresponding start memory (step B102; Yes), it is determined whether or not a prior determination command is received from the game control device 100 (step B103).

If it is determined in step B103 that a prior determination command has not been received (step B103; No), the prefetch command reception process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B103 that a prior determination command has been received (step B113; Yes), it is determined whether or not the power transmission is being supported (time saving state) (step B104).

If it is determined in step B104 that the power transmission support is in progress (step B104; Yes), the prefetch command reception process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B104 that the power transmission support is not in progress (step B104; No), the contents of the received prior determination command are saved in the corresponding start storage area of the RWM (step B105).

Next, the starting memory symbol information (that is, information for specifying the reserved symbol to be displayed on the display device 41) is acquired from the received starting opening prize effect symbol command (step B106), and the result of the starting memory is “ It is determined whether it is “out of” (step B107).
If it is determined in step B107 that it is “out of” (step B107; Yes), the pre-effect distribution table 1 (see FIG. 21A) is set (step B108).
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B107 that it is not “displacement” (step B107; No), that is, if the result of the start-up storage is “winning”, the pre-effect distribution table 2 (FIG. 21B). Reference) is set (step B109).

Next, the system information of the reach of the start memory is acquired from the received start opening prize effect command (step B110), and from the pre-effect distribution table set in step B108 or step B109 and the system information of the reach acquired in step B110. The pre-effect mode (that is, the color of the reserved symbol (described later), whether or not to perform 3D display (described later), etc.) is selected (step B111).
Next, the prefetch effect flag is turned on (step B112), and the prefetch command reception process is terminated.

That is, based on the fact that the start memory is stored in the start memory holding means (game control device 100), the production control device 300 displays the hold symbols (hold symbols R1, R2, R3, R4) corresponding to the start memory, Start memory display means for displaying in the hold display area of the decoration display device (display device 41) so that the player can recognize it.
In addition, the production control device 300 is based on the advance determination information transmitted by the advance determination information transmitting means (the production control device 300), or the execution contents (reach system, etc.) of the corresponding variable display game (special drawing variable display game) or A prior notice means capable of executing a notice (preliminary effect) that suggests in advance a result (whether or not to be a special result mode or the like) is provided.

Here, the prior effect distribution table 1 set in step B108 and the prior effect distribution table 2 set in step B109 will be described with reference to FIG.
The pre-effect is to change the display mode of the reserved symbol corresponding to the start memory to a display mode different from the normal (normal hold memory display mode), thereby executing the execution contents of the special figure variation display game based on the start memory (for example, , Which reach will occur) and the expectation for the result (for example, whether it will be a special result mode) is an effect that informs the player before the start of the special figure variation display game.

Specifically, the production control device 300 changes the color of the reserved symbol from a default color (for example, white) to a different color, or changes the color of the reserved symbol from the default color to a different color. The pre-production is executed by changing the reserved symbol from the flat display (that is, the default display state) to the three-dimensional display.
In the case of the present embodiment, the colors of the reserved symbols are “no change (default color)”, “blue”, “yellow”, “red”, and “rainbow” in descending order of expectation.
Further, when the color of the reserved symbol is the same, the degree of expectation is different between the case where the reserved symbol is planarly displayed and the case where it is three-dimensionally displayed. Specifically, in the case of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the degree of expectation is higher in the case where the three-dimensional display (3D display) is performed than in the case where the reserved symbol is displayed in plane (2D display).

As shown in FIG. 21 (a), when the pre-effect distribution table 1 is set (that is, when the start memory result is “out of”), the “Rainbow” that has the highest expectation as the color of the reserved symbol "Is not selected.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), when the prior effect distribution table 2 is set (that is, when the result of the start memory is “win”), the prior effect distribution table 1 is set. Compared to the case (see FIG. 21A), the selection rate of “no change” having the lowest degree of expectation as the reserved symbol color is lower.
When “no change” is selected as the color of the reserved symbol, the display state of the reserved symbol remains flat display.

[Fluctuation processing]
Next, details of the changing process (step B71) in the above-described scene control process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 22, in the changing process, the effect control device 300 first determines whether or not there is an effect request flag (step B121). The effect request flag is a flag that is set when a valid command is received. When there is this flag, processing based on the received command is performed.

If it is determined in step B121 that there is an effect request flag (step B121; Yes), information relating to the input of the effect button 25 is cleared (step B122), and a movable body request set process (step B123) is performed.
Next, a variation pattern information setting process (step B124) for setting the execution mode of the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is performed, and the result of the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is “winning”. It is determined whether or not there is (step B125).

When it is determined in step B125 that the result of the special figure variation display game corresponding to the decoration special figure variation display game is not “winning” (step B125; No), the 3D effect pattern selection table 1 (FIG. 23 (a) )) Is set (step B126), and a 3D effect pattern is selected and set based on the set 3D effect pattern selection table 1 (step B127).
On the other hand, when it is determined in step B125 that the result of the special figure fluctuation display game corresponding to the decoration special figure fluctuation display game is “winning” (step B125; Yes), the 3D effect pattern selection table 2 (FIG. 23 (b)) is set (step B128), and a 3D effect pattern is selected and set based on the set 3D effect pattern selection table 2 (step B129).

  Next, random number seed initialization processing (step B130) is performed, and a scene sequence table corresponding to the set variation pattern is set (step B131). The scene sequence table is a table for managing the execution timing and time of various displays such as the start and stop of the variable display and the display of the effect character in the decoration special figure variable display game. In the scene sequence table, the execution order of a plurality of scenes in which execution contents and time are defined is set, and the decorative special figure variation display game is executed by sequentially executing the scenes according to the scene sequence table. The mode state is also set in the scene sequence table based on the information transmitted from the game control device 100. However, the production control device 300 may determine and set the production state independently.

  Next, the number-of-changes management process (step B132) for managing various periods by the effect control device 300 is performed, the effect request flag is cleared (step B133), and the process during change ends.

Moreover, when it determines with there being no production request flag in step B121 (step B121; No), it is determined whether the value of an update timer is 0 (step B134). In this case, the update timer measures the execution time of the scene managed according to the scene sequence table, and the value of this update timer being 0 indicates that the scene being executed has ended.
If it is determined in step B134 that the value of the update timer is not 0 (step B134; No), the changing process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B134 that the value of the update timer is 0 (step B134; Yes), the next scene data is set (step B135), and the changing process ends.

Here, the 3D effect pattern selection table 1 set in step B126 and the 3D effect pattern selection table 2 set in step B128 will be described with reference to FIG.
The 3D effect (stereoscopic image effect) is an effect of stereoscopically displaying at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41.
Specifically, the effect control device 300 displays at least a part of images displayed on the display device 41 in a three-dimensional manner, or at least a part of images displayed on the display device 41. 3D effect is executed by operating the movable combination (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12, first combination C40d13 or second combination 40d2).

In the case of the present embodiment, “3D effect pattern 1”, “3D effect pattern 2”, “3D effect pattern 3”, “3D effect pattern 4”, and “3D effect” are the 3D effect patterns in descending order of expectation. There are “pattern 5”, “3D effect pattern 6”, “3D effect pattern 7”, “3D effect pattern 8”, and “3D effect pattern 9”.
When “3D effect pattern 1” is selected and set as the 3D effect pattern, neither the 3D effect nor the operation of the movable accessory is performed.

  When “3D effect pattern 2” or “3D effect pattern 3” is selected and set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 1”, that is, the display surface of the first accessory A40d11 is set as the separation position of the stereoscopic image. A separation position (see FIG. 24B) corresponding to the position from 41a is selected, and at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, the three-dimensional image among the images displayed on the display device 41). A 3D effect in which the image to be displayed appears at the selected separation position is performed. When “3D effect pattern 2” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory does not operate. However, when “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the corresponding movable accessory ( The first accessory A40d11) is activated.

  When “3D effect pattern 4” or “3D effect pattern 5” is selected and set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 2” is set as the separation position of the stereoscopic image, that is, the display surface of the first accessory B40d12 A separation position (see FIG. 24B) corresponding to the position from 41a is selected, and at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, the three-dimensional image among the images displayed on the display device 41). A 3D effect in which the image to be displayed appears at the selected separation position is performed. When “3D effect pattern 4” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory does not operate. However, when “3D effect pattern 5” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the corresponding movable accessory ( The first accessory B40d12) is activated.

  When “3D effect pattern 6” or “3D effect pattern 7” is selected and set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 3” is set as the separation position of the stereoscopic image, that is, the display surface of the first accessory C40d13. A separation position (see FIG. 24B) corresponding to the position from 41a is selected, and at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, the three-dimensional image among the images displayed on the display device 41). A 3D effect in which the image to be displayed appears at the selected separation position is performed. When “3D effect pattern 6” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory does not operate. However, when “3D effect pattern 7” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the corresponding movable accessory ( The first accessory C40d13) is activated.

  When “3D effect pattern 8” or “3D effect pattern 9” is selected and set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 4”, that is, the display surface of the second accessory 40d2 is set as the separation position of the stereoscopic image. A separation position (see FIG. 24B) corresponding to the position from 41a is selected, and at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, the three-dimensional image among the images displayed on the display device 41). A 3D effect in which the image to be displayed appears at the selected separation position is performed. When “3D effect pattern 8” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory does not operate, but when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the corresponding movable accessory ( The second accessory 40d2) is activated.

That is, in the production, the first production that informs the player of the possibility of becoming a special result mode (in this embodiment, production based on “3D production pattern 3”, production based on “3D production pattern 5”, “ 3D effect pattern 7 ”) and a second effect that indicates that there is a higher possibility of a special result aspect than the first effect (in this embodiment, an effect based on“ 3D effect pattern 9 ”). And are included.
And the production control means (production control device 300) can select different separation positions when the first production is executed and when the second production is executed. Specifically, in the case of the present embodiment, when the first effect is executed, the separation position “3D level 1”, “3D level 2” or “3D level 3” is selected, and the second effect is executed. When selecting, the separation position “3D level 4” is selected.
In addition, the movable accessory is arranged at a position corresponding to the separation position selected when the first effect is executed, and operates when the first effect is executed (first accessory A40d11). , The first combination B40d12, the first combination C40d13) and the second combination which is arranged at the position corresponding to the separation position selected when the second effect is executed and operates when the second effect is executed. It is comprised by the accessory 40d2.

In addition, when the three-dimensional images are spaced apart from each other, the degree of expectation is different between when the movable accessory is activated and when it is not activated.
Specifically, for example, a reach state is generated when the movable combination is activated, and a reach state is not generated when the movable combination is not activated. In addition, for example, when a movable accessory is activated, a reach state is generated with a probability variable symbol that generates a big hit (probable big hit) with the occurrence of a high probability state after the end of the special gaming state, and the movable accessory does not operate. In such a case, the reach state may be generated with a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol) that generates a big hit (normal big hit) without the occurrence of a high probability state after the special gaming state is ended.

As shown in FIG. 23A, when the 3D effect pattern selection table 1 is set (that is, when the result of the special figure variation display game is “out of”), the “3D effect pattern having the highest expectation level”. “9” is not selected.
Further, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the 3D effect pattern selection table 2 is set (that is, when the result of the special figure variation display game is “winning”), the 3D effect pattern selection table 1 is The selection rate of “3D effect pattern 1” having the lowest expectation is lower than that in the case of setting (see FIG. 23A).

[3D display processing]
Next, details of the 3D display process (step B54) in the above-described normal game process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 25, in the 3D display process, the effect control device 300 first confirms the set 3D effect pattern (step B141), and selects any of “3D effect pattern 2” to “3D effect pattern 9”. It is determined whether or not a 3D effect pattern for performing a 3D effect is set (step B142).

  When it is determined in step B142 that any one of “3D effect pattern 2” to “3D effect pattern 9” is not set (step B142; No), that is, a 3D effect pattern that does not perform the 3D effect is “3D effect pattern”. If “Pattern 1” is set, the selected 2D effect is displayed (step B143), and the 3D display process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step B142 that any one of “3D effect pattern 2” to “3D effect pattern 9” is set (step B142; Yes), that is, a 3D effect pattern for performing 3D effect is set. If there is, a 3D effect is displayed in which at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (that is, the image to be stereoscopically displayed) is displayed at the selected 3D level (separated position) (step B144). .

Specifically, when “3D effect pattern 2” or “3D effect pattern 3” is set, since the selected 3D level (separation position) is “3D level 1”, it is preset as “3D level 1”. At least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 is caused to appear at the displayed position.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 4” or “3D effect pattern 5” is set, the selected 3D level (separation position) is “3D level 2”, and thus is preset as “3D level 2”. At least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 appears at the position.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 6” or “3D effect pattern 7” is set, the selected 3D level (separation position) is “3D level 3”, and thus is preset as “3D level 3”. At least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 appears at the position.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 8” or “3D effect pattern 9” is set, the selected 3D level (separation position) is “3D level 4”, and thus is preset as “3D level 4”. At least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 appears at the position.

Next, it is determined whether or not the set 3D effect pattern is a 3D effect pattern without an actuating action (step B145).
In step B145, when it is determined that the set 3D effect pattern is a 3D effect pattern without an accessory operation (step B145; Yes), that is, the set 3D effect pattern is “3D effect pattern 2”, If it is “3D effect pattern 4”, “3D effect pattern 6”, or “3D effect pattern 8”, the 3D display process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step B145 that the set 3D effect pattern that has been set is a 3D effect pattern with an accessory operation (step B145; No), that is, the set 3D effect pattern is “ In the case of “3D effect pattern 3”, “3D effect pattern 5”, “3D effect pattern 7” or “3D effect pattern 9”, the selected movable accessory is activated (step B146), and the 3D display process is performed. Exit.

Specifically, when “3D effect pattern 3” is set, since the selected movable combination is the first combination A40d11, the first combination A40d11 is operated.
When “3D effect pattern 5” is set, since the selected movable accessory is the first accessory B40d12, the first accessory B40d12 is operated.
When “3D effect pattern 7” is set, since the selected movable combination is the first combination C40d13, the first combination C40d13 is operated.
When the “3D effect pattern 9” is set, the selected movable combination is the second combination 40d2, and therefore the second combination 40d2 is activated.

[Hold display process]
Next, details of the hold display process (step B55) in the above-described normal game process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 26, in the hold display process, the effect control device 300 first determines whether or not the prefetch effect flag (see step B112 in FIG. 20) is on (step B151).

  If it is determined in step B151 that the prefetch effect flag is on (step B151; Yes), it is determined whether or not a prefetch execution condition is satisfied (step B152). In this embodiment, “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, and it is determined that the pre-read execution condition is satisfied when the corresponding three-dimensional display and movable accessory operation are executed. However, the prefetch execution conditions can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

  When it is determined in step B152 that the prefetch execution condition is satisfied (step B152; Yes), the prestore effect (pending) is stored in the pre-production mode selected and set in step B111 of the prefetch command reception process described above. Symbol) is displayed (step B153), the prefetch effect flag is turned off (step B154), and the hold display process is terminated.

  Further, when it is determined in step B151 that the prefetch effect flag is not turned on (step B151; No), or when it is determined in step B152 that the prefetch execution condition is not satisfied (step B152; No), it is normal. In the reserved storage display mode (that is, the default display mode), the stored storage (holding symbol) is displayed (step B155), and the holding display process is terminated.

(Display example 1 of 3D effect)
FIG. 27 shows an example of the 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 2” is set as the 3D effect pattern.
When “3D effect pattern 2” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 1”, that is, a separation position corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the first accessory A40d11 is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIGS. 27A and 27B, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 at the selected separation position “3D level 1” (in the case of FIG. 27, A fish food image G1) appears. Further, in the case of FIG. 27 and the like, a fishing line image G3 that connects the fish food image G1 that is a three-dimensional image and a fishing rod image G2 that is a planar image also protrudes from the fishing rod image G2 toward the fish food image G1. It is a 3D image. That is, an image indicated by a broken line in the figure is a stereoscopic image.

  Further, when “3D effect pattern 2” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory does not operate, so that the first accessory A40d11, the first accessory B40d12, the first accessory C40d13, and the second accessory 40d2 Without any operation, the reach state does not occur as shown in FIG. 27C, for example, or the reach state occurs as shown in FIG. 27D, for example.

(Display example 2-1 of 3D effect)
FIG. 28 shows an example of 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, and an example of 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern. showed that.

When “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 1”, that is, a separation position corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the first accessory A40d11 is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 28A, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 at the selected separation position “3D level 1” (in the case of FIG. 28, an image of fish food). G1) appears.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory operates, so that, for example, as shown in FIG. 28C, the corresponding movable accessory (first accessory A40d11) is displayed. Operate. Specifically, for example, the first combination A40d11, which is a three-dimensional combination in the shape of a fish, is directed toward the fish food image G1 so that the fish eats the food by the operation of the first combination A40d11. As it moves, the mouth part of the fish-shaped first accessory A40d11 opens and closes. As a result, the fish food image G1 displayed in three dimensions disappears.
Then, since the first accessory (in this case, the first accessory A40d11) is actuated, for example, a reach state occurs as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 4” is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image, that is, the separation position corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the second accessory 40d2 is selected. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 28B, at the selected separation position “3D level 4”, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (in the case of FIG. 28, fish foods). Image G1) appears.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory operates, so that, for example, as shown in FIG. 28 (e), the corresponding movable accessory (second accessory 40d2) is displayed. Operate. Specifically, for example, when the second accessory 40d2 is activated, the second accessory 40d2, which is a three-dimensional agent in the shape of a fish, is directed toward the fish food image G1 so that the fish bites the food. As it moves, the mouth portion of the fish-like second accessory 40d2 opens and closes. As a result, the fish food image G1 displayed in three dimensions disappears.
Then, since the second accessory 40d2 is activated, for example, as shown in FIG. 28 (f), the pseudo-variable display that repeats the pseudo-variable display (that is, the unit variable display is displayed during the execution of the special figure variable display game). The pseudo continuous fluctuation in which the stop result mode is derived two or more times is apparently generated, and the second pseudo fluctuation display is started.

  Here, in FIG. 28F, the pre-read execution condition in this embodiment, that is, “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, and the corresponding three-dimensional display and movable accessory operation are executed. Since the condition is established, the reserved symbols R1 to R4 are displayed in the set pre-effects mode. However, FIG. 28 shows a case where “hold color; no change” is selected as the pre-production effect for all the reserved symbols R1 to R4, so the display mode of the reserved symbols R1 to R4 is changed. Instead, the normal hold storage display mode is maintained.

  In the case of FIG. 28, when the first accessory (the first accessory A40d11, the first accessory B40d12 or the first accessory C40d13) is actuated, a reach state occurs, and when the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, Although continuous fluctuations occur, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to configure so that a pseudo-variation occurs when the first accessory (the first accessory A40d11, the first accessory B40d12, or the first accessory C40d13) is activated, and the reach state is also a pseudo-continuous variation. It is also possible to configure so as not to occur. Further, when the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, a reach state can be generated, or a reach state and a pseudo continuous variation can be prevented.

(Display example 2-2 of 3D effect)
In the case of FIG. 28, when the first accessory (the first accessory A40d11, the first accessory B40d12 or the first accessory C40d13) is actuated, a reach state is generated, and when the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, the pseudo continuous fluctuation However, when the second combination 40d2 is activated, it is more advantageous for the player than when the first combination is activated. If the privilege obtained by the player differs depending on when the item is activated, the content of the privilege can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 29, when the first combination (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12 or first combination C40d13) is activated, the expectation in the changing special figure display game is expected. A predetermined notice effect for informing the degree is performed, and when the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, a predetermined notice effect for notifying the degree of expectation in the changing special-figure display game is performed and a pre-effect is performed. Is also possible. Further, when the first accessory (the first accessory A40d11, the first accessory B40d12 or the first accessory C40d13) is activated, a chance-up effect is performed, and when the second accessory 40d2 is activated, the jackpot finalizing effect is performed. It is also possible to configure.

  FIG. 29 shows an example of 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, and an example of 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern. showed that.

When “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 1”, that is, a separation position corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the first accessory A40d11 is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 29 (a), at least a part of images displayed on the display device 41 at the selected separation position “3D level 1” (in the case of FIG. 29, an image of fish food). G1) appears.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 3” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory operates, so that, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 29B, the corresponding movable accessory (first accessory A40d11) is displayed. Operate.
And since the 1st actor A40d11 act | operated, the expectation degree in the special figure fluctuation | variation display game in fluctuation | variation is alert | reported by performing a predetermined | prescribed notice effect. In the case of FIG. 29, the degree of expectation in the changing special-figure display game is notified by executing the effect of stereoscopically displaying the identification information (decoration special symbol) as the predetermined notice effect. This method can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

On the other hand, when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 4” is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image, that is, the separation position corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the second accessory 40d2 is selected. Therefore, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (in the case of FIG. 29, the fish food image G1) appears at the selected separation position “3D level 4”.
In addition, when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, the movable accessory operates, so that, for example, as shown in FIG. 29 (d), the corresponding movable accessory (second accessory 40d2) is displayed. Operate.
And since the 2nd character 40d2 act | operated, in the special figure fluctuation | variation display game in fluctuation | variation by performing the predetermined | prescribed advance notice effect (in the case of FIG. 29, the effect which displays the identification information (decoration special symbol) in three dimensions). Inform the expectation. Further, in FIG. 29 (e), the pre-read execution condition in this embodiment, that is, “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, and the corresponding three-dimensional display and movable accessory operation are executed. Since the condition is satisfied, the reserved symbols R1 to R4 are displayed in the set pre-effects mode. In the case of FIG. 29, “hold color; no change” is selected as the pre-production effect for the reserved symbols R1, R3, and R4, and “hold color: blue, display state; 3D” as the pre-production effect for the reservation symbol R2. Since “hold color: yellow, display state; 3D”, “hold color: red, display state; 3D” or “hold color; rainbow, display state; 3D” is selected, only the display mode of the reserved symbol R2 changes. doing.

  In other words, the effect control means (the effect control device 300) is a variable display game that is changing when the first character (first character A40d11, first character B40d12, first character C40d13) is activated. A notice effect that informs the expectation that the special figure variation display game is a special result mode can be executed, and when the second accessory 40d2 is activated, the notice effect can be executed, and a prior notice notification means ( The effect control device 300) is configured to be able to execute a notice (preliminary effect).

  According to the gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment described above, the decoration display device (display device 41) capable of displaying a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information (special decorations) in a variable manner, and the game area 32 flow down. A game control means (game control apparatus 100) for controlling the progress of the variable display game based on winning in the start winning area of the game ball to be played (start winning prize port 36, normal variable prize winning device 37), and a command from the game control means And an effect control means (effect control device 300) for performing display control of the variable display game based on the information, which is advantageous for the player when the stop result mode of the variable display game becomes a predetermined special result mode. In the gaming machine 10 capable of generating a special gaming state, the gaming machine 10 is arranged around the decorative display device (display device 41) and in front of the display surface 41a of the decorative display device, and is based on predetermined conditions. The movable combination (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12, first combination C40d13, second combination 40d2) is provided, and the decorative display device (display device 41) is visually recognized on the display surface 41a. And a stereoscopic image that can be viewed in front or behind the display surface 41a or in the front-rear direction, and the effect control means (the effect control device 300) can display the stereoscopic image. It is possible to select a position from 41a from a plurality of separated positions, and to make a stereoscopic image appear at the selected separated positions, and to move the movable combination (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12, first combination C40d13). Alternatively, when a stereoscopic image appears at a separated position corresponding to the position of the second accessory 40d2) from the display surface 41a, an effect of operating the movable accessory can be executed. It has been made.

  That is, when a stereoscopic image appears at a separated position corresponding to the position of the movable accessory (the first accessory A40d11, the first accessory B40d12, the first accessory C40d13, the second accessory 40d2), the movable accessory Therefore, not only can the perception of the 3D image appearance position be assisted by the movable accessory, but also the 3D image effect and the accessory effect can be related to each other. Thus, since the synergistic effect of the production is produced by providing the relevance between the stereoscopic image effect and the accessory effect, it is possible to execute an effect with a greater impact.

In the present embodiment, the four combinations of the first combination A40d11, the first combination B40d12, the first combination C40d13, and the second combination 40d2 are provided as the movable combination. Can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.
In the present embodiment, four levels of “3D level 1” to “3D level 4” are provided as the separation positions of the stereoscopic image, but the number of separation positions of the stereoscopic image can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

In addition, according to the gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment described above, for the production, the first production that informs the player of the possibility of becoming a special result mode (in this embodiment, “3D production pattern 3”). Production based on "3D production pattern 5", production based on "3D production pattern 7"), and the second production (this book) informing that there is a high possibility of becoming a special result mode than the first production. In the case of the embodiment, “effect based on“ 3D effect pattern 9 ”) is included.
And the production control means (production control device 300) can select different separation positions when the first production is executed and when the second production is executed. Specifically, in the case of the present embodiment, when the first effect is executed, the separation position “3D level 1”, “3D level 2” or “3D level 3” is selected, and the second effect is executed. In this case, the separation position “3D level 4” is selected.
In addition, the movable accessory is arranged at a position corresponding to the separation position selected when the first effect is executed, and operates when the first effect is executed (first accessory A40d11). , The first combination B40d12, the first combination C40d13) and the second combination which is arranged at the position corresponding to the separation position selected when the second effect is executed and operates when the second effect is executed. It is comprised by the accessory 40d2.

  Accordingly, since the appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image differs depending on the type of effect, the movable accessory (first accessory A40d11, first accessory B40d12, first accessory C40d13, second accessory 40d2) that operates is different. Thus, it becomes possible to give more relevance to the stereoscopic image effect and the accessory effect.

  In the present embodiment, as the first movable combination, the three combinations of the first combination A40d11, the first combination B40d12, and the first combination C40d13 are provided, but the number of the first movable combination is appropriate. It can be changed arbitrarily.

In addition, according to the gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment described above, the game control means (game control device 100) wins a game ball in the starting winning area (starting winning port 36, normal variation winning device 37). A starting memory holding means (game control device 100) capable of extracting a plurality of random numbers related to the execution of the fluctuation display game (special figure fluctuation display game) and storing a predetermined number as an upper limit as the start memory of the fluctuation display game. Then, based on the random number stored as the start memory in the start memory holding means (game control device 100), the result of the variable display game (special figure variable display game) is determined before the start of the variable display game, and the game result information ( Game result pre-determining means (game control device 100) for generating a start opening winning effect command and start opening winning effect design command) and game result pre-determining means (game control device 100) It includes a presentation control means the game result information generated as a preliminary determination information (performance control unit 300) can be transmitted to the pre-determined information transmitting means (a game control device 100), the by.
Further, the production control means (production control device 300), based on the fact that the start memory is stored in the start memory holding means (game control device 100), the reserved symbols (hold symbols R1, R2, R3) corresponding to the start memory. , R4) are displayed in the hold display area of the decoration display device (display device 41) so that the player can recognize them, and by the start storage display means (effect control device 300) and the advance determination information transmission means (game control device 100). Preliminary notification (preliminary) that suggests in advance the execution contents (reach system, etc.) or the results (whether it becomes a special result mode, etc.) of the corresponding variable display game (special figure variable display game) based on the transmitted prior determination information A prior notice means (effect control device 300) capable of executing (effect), and the effect control means (effect control device 300) includes a first character (first character A40d11, When the first character B40d12 or the first character C40d13) is actuated, it is possible to execute a notice effect that informs the degree of expectation that the variable display game (special figure variable display game) being changed becomes a special result mode, When the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, a notice effect can be executed, and a notice notice (preliminary effect) can be executed by the prior notice information means (effect control device 300).

  That is, when the first combination (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12 or first combination C40d13) is actuated, the variable display game being changed (special figure variable display game) becomes the special result mode. When the notice effect that informs the degree of expectation is executed and the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, the notice effect is executed and the notice notification (preliminary effect) that suggests the advance determination result of the start memory is executed in advance. Therefore, the player determines whether or not the movable accessory is activated, whether or not the movable accessory is the second accessory 40d2 when the movable accessory is activated, and the appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image. It becomes possible to make it interested.

It is determined whether or not the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of the image to be displayed has reached the selected 3D level (separated position) (step B224).
Specifically, when “3D effect pattern 6” or “3D effect pattern 7” is set as the 3D effect pattern, since the selected 3D level (separation position) is “3D level 3”, the display device 41 is displayed. If the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the displayed images (that is, the image to be stereoscopically displayed) is “3D level 3”, the selected 3D level (separated position) is reached. If the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 is “3D level 1” or “3D level 2”, it is selected. It is determined that the 3D level (separated position) has not been reached. Further, when the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 is “3D level 0”, that is, at least of the images displayed on the display device 41. Even when a part of the images (that is, images to be stereoscopically displayed) is displayed on a plane, it is determined that the selected 3D level (separated position) has not been reached.

When it is determined in step B224 that the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 has reached the selected 3D level (separation position) ( In step B224; Yes), the pop-out amount changing process is terminated.
On the other hand, in step B224, it is determined that the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 has not reached the selected 3D level (separation position). In the case (step B224; No), the 3D level (separated position) is updated by +1 (step B225). It is assumed that the initial value of the 3D level (separation position) is “3D level 0”.

Next, the pop-up amount of the 3D effect is changed so that at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be displayed in a stereoscopic manner) is displayed at the updated 3D level (separated position). (Step B226), the pop-out amount changing process is terminated.
As described above, the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (that is, the image to be stereoscopically displayed) is selected by the pop-out amount changing process of FIG. Until the 3D level (separated position) is reached, the image gradually pops out as time passes.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step B233 that the pop-out amount change period has not ended (step B233; No), it is determined whether or not it has been detected that a push button such as the effect button 25 has been operated in a predetermined manner. (Step B235). Specifically, for example, when a push button such as the effect button 25 is pushed continuously a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times), it is determined that the push button such as the effect button 25 is operated in a predetermined manner.

If it is determined in step B235 that it has not been detected that a push button such as the effect button 25 has been operated in a predetermined manner (step B235; No), the pop-out amount changing process 2 is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step B235 that it has been detected that a push button such as the effect button 25 has been operated in a predetermined manner (step B235; Yes), at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41. In other words, it is determined whether or not the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of the three-dimensionally displayed image has reached the selected 3D level (separated position) (step B236).

When it is determined in step B236 that the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 has reached the selected 3D level (separation position) ( In step B236; Yes), the pop-out amount changing process 2 is terminated.
On the other hand, in step B236, it is determined that the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 has not reached the selected 3D level (separation position). In the case (step B236; No), the 3D level (separated position) is updated by +1 (step B237).
Next, the pop-up amount of the 3D effect is changed so that at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be displayed in a stereoscopic manner) is displayed at the updated 3D level (separated position). (Step B238), the pop-out amount changing process 2 is terminated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 33 (d), at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G <b> 1) is displayed at the separation position “ Appears at "3D level 4". Further, the movable combination (second combination) arranged at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). 40d2) is activated.

That is, in the first embodiment, at least a part of images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be stereoscopically displayed) is suddenly displayed at a position selected as a stereoscopic image separation position. did.
On the other hand, in the first modification of the first embodiment, the appearance positions in the front-rear direction of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be stereoscopically displayed) are determined according to a predetermined condition (for example, The amount of pop-up of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 is gradually changed so as to gradually approach the position selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image as time elapses or push button operation) It is comprised so that it may display. That is, the production control means (production control device 300) moves from the position closer to the display surface 41a to the selected separation position than the selected separation position in accordance with the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the passage of time or push button operation). And the appearance position of the front-back direction of a stereo image is changed.

  In the case of FIG. 33, the movable accessory disposed at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an already activated movable accessory is an appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41. It is also possible to configure to operate regardless of the above. Specifically, when the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 is “3D level 2”, the operation of the first accessory A40d11 is stopped. Instead of actuating the first accessory B40d12 after that, it is also possible to configure the first accessory B40d12 to be operated in a state where the operation of the first accessory A40d11 is continued.

  First, at least a part of an image displayed on the display device 41 (that is, an image to be stereoscopically displayed) is displayed on a plane, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the image is preset as “3D level 1”. 3D display at the current position. Then, if the selected separation position is any one of “3D level 2” to “3D level 4”, thereafter, each time the predetermined condition is satisfied, the stereoscopic image is gradually moved forward and backward to the selected separation position. However, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be stereoscopically displayed) is first displayed as “3D level 1” without being displayed on a plane. A stereoscopic display may be performed at a preset position. That is, the initial value of the 3D level (separation position) may be “3D level 1”.

(Display example 2 of 3D effect)
Further, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be stereoscopically displayed) does not gradually pop out according to the passage of time or push button operation, for example, as shown in FIG. As described above, at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 can be configured to gradually pop out in accordance with the apparent occurrence of the pseudo continuous variation.

FIG. 34 shows an example of the 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern.
When “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 4” is selected as the stereo image separation position, that is, the separation position corresponding to the position from the display surface 41a of the second accessory 40d2 is selected. .

  When at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (in the case of FIG. 34, the fish food image G1) appears at the separation position “3D level 1”, for example, as shown in FIG. As described above, the movable combination (first combination) arranged at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). Object A40d11) is activated.

Next, for example, when the pseudo continuous variation occurs as shown in FIG. 34B, for example, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 with the start of the second pseudo variation display. (Fish food image G1) appears at the separation position “3D level 2”.
Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). The arranged movable combination (first combination B40d12) operates.

Next, for example, when the pseudo continuous fluctuation appears again as shown in FIG. 34D, for example, at the start of the third pseudo fluctuation display, at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 is displayed. The image (fish feed image G1) appears at the separation position “3D level 3”.
Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 34 (e), at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). The arranged movable combination (first combination C40d13) is activated.

Then, for example, when the pseudo continuous fluctuation appears again as shown in FIG. 34 (f), for example, at the start of the fourth pseudo fluctuation display, at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 is displayed. The image (fish feed image G1) appears at the separation position “3D level 4”.
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 34 (g), at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). The arranged movable combination (second combination 40d2) is activated.

  According to the modified example 1 of the first embodiment described above, the second accessory 40d2 is more display surface 41a than the first accessory (first accessory A40d11, first accessory B40d12, first accessory C40d13). The effect control means (the effect control device 300) is arranged at a position away from the selected distance according to the establishment of a predetermined condition (in the case of this modification, the time elapses, the push button operation, the occurrence of pseudo continuous fluctuation). The appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image is changed from a position closer to the display surface 41a than the position to the selected separation position.

  That is, since the stereoscopic image gradually pops out to the selected separation position, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player.

  Moreover, according to the modification 1 of 1st Embodiment demonstrated above, an effect control means (effect control apparatus 300) is arrange | positioned in the position corresponding to the appearance position of the front-back direction of a stereo image among several movable actors. It is comprised so that the actuated movable accessory may be actuated.

  Therefore, although it is difficult for the player to recognize how much the 3D image is popping out only with the 3D effect (that is, only displaying the 3D image), the 3D effect of the 3D moving images is displayed in a 3D manner. The movable combination arranged at the position corresponding to the appearance position in the front-rear direction of the image operates, so that the player can recognize the pop-out amount of the stereoscopic image.

[Modification 2 of the first embodiment]
Next, Modification 2 of the first embodiment will be described.
The gaming machine 10 replaces the plurality of first combinations (first combination A40d11, first combination B40d12 and first combination C40d13) with, for example, one first combination 40d1 as shown in FIG. It may be provided.

As described above, it is assumed that the image is displayed while gradually changing the pop-out amount of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41, but the present invention is not limited to this. Specifically, the gaming machine 10 according to the present modification, for example, like the gaming machine 10 according to the first embodiment, at least a part of images displayed on the display device 41 (that is, images to be stereoscopically displayed). ) May be displayed suddenly at the position selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image.

(Display example 1 of 3D effect)
Next, a 3D effect display example in this modification will be shown. FIG. 36 shows an example of the 3D effect display when “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern.
When “3D effect pattern 9” is set as the 3D effect pattern, “3D level 4” is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 36A and 36B, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (in the case of FIG. 36, the fish food image G1) is displayed at the separation position “3D. When appearing at “level 1”, for example, as shown in FIGS. 36C and 36D, the first accessory 40d1 is at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). ) 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) is operated in a state where it is arranged.

Next, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1) is displayed at the separation position “3D level 2”. In addition, the first accessory 40d1 moves to a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). To do.
Next, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, as shown in FIGS. 36 (e) and 36 (f), at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G 1) 3D level 3 ”is displayed. In addition, the first accessory 40d1 moves to a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1). To do.
When the predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, as shown in FIGS. 36 (g) and 36 (h), at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G 1) 3D level 4 ”. In addition, the second accessory 40d2 arranged at a position corresponding to the 3D level (appearance position in the front-rear direction) of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (fish feed image G1) operates. .

(Display example 2 of 3D effect)
The shape of the first accessory 40d1 and the second accessory 40d2 is not limited to fish, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 37, the shape of the first accessory 40d1 is a bat. The shape of the two-purpose object 40d2 may be a glove. Further, the arrangement position of the first accessory 40d1 and the second accessory 40d2 can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 37, the first accessory 40d1 is arranged on the left side of the center case 40, The second accessory 40d2 may be disposed on the right side of the center case 40.

In the case of FIG. 37, it is assumed that the first accessory 40d1 is disposed at a position corresponding to “3D level 2”, and the second accessory 40d2 is disposed at a position corresponding to “3D level 4”.
First, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (in the case of FIG. 37, the baseball ball image G4) is, for example, as shown in FIG. It is displayed so as to gradually jump out toward the object 40d1.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), the appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) is the arrangement of the first accessory 40d1. If the position does not reach the position corresponding to the selected position (that is, when “3D level 1” is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image), the first accessory 40d1 does not operate, for example, the reach state with the normal symbol Will occur. Alternatively, the appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) has reached a position corresponding to the position where the first accessory 40d1 is disposed. Nevertheless, when the first accessory 40d1 does not operate (that is, when “3D level 2” is selected as the three-dimensional image separation position and there is no accessory operation), for example, a reach state is generated with a normal symbol. It is also possible to configure.

On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 37 (c), the appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) is the arrangement of the first accessory 40d1. When the position corresponding to the position that has been reached is reached, the first accessory 40d1 is actuated, and a reach state is generated with, for example, a probable variation pattern.
Next, as shown in FIG. 37D, for example, at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) is directed toward the second accessory 40d2 in the shape of a glove. It appears to pop out gradually.

For example, as shown in FIG. 37 (e), the appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least a part of the image displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) is the arrangement of the second accessory 40d2. When the position corresponding to the position is reached (that is, when “3D level 4” is selected as the separation position of the three-dimensional image), the second accessory 40d2 is actuated, for example, the pseudo continuous fluctuation is apparent. Occurs on.
On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 37 (f), the appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) is the arrangement of the second accessory 40d2. If the position corresponding to the selected position is not reached (that is, when “3D level 3” is selected as the separation position of the stereoscopic image), the second accessory 40d2 does not operate, for example, the reach state with the probability variation pattern Will remain in the state where it occurs. Alternatively, the appearance position in the front-rear direction of at least some of the images displayed on the display device 41 (baseball ball image G4) has reached a position corresponding to the position where the second accessory 40d2 is disposed. However, when the second accessory 40d2 does not operate (that is, when “3D level 4” is selected as the three-dimensional image separation position and there is no accessory operation), for example, a state in which a reach state is generated with a probable variation pattern It can also be configured to remain as it is.

  According to Modification 2 of the first embodiment described above, the movable accessory (first accessory 40d1) can be moved to a position corresponding to the appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image, and the effect control means (effect The control device 300) moves from the position closer to the display surface 41a to the selected separation position than the selected separation position in accordance with the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the passage of time, push button operation, occurrence of pseudo continuous fluctuation, etc.). The appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image is changed, and the movable accessory (first accessory 40d1) is moved to a position corresponding to the appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image.

  That is, the stereoscopic image gradually pops out, and the first actor 40d1 also gradually pops out, so that it is possible to enhance the interest of the player.

  Further, according to the second modification of the first embodiment described above, the first accessory 40d1 is movable from the vicinity of the display surface 41a to the vicinity of the second accessory 40d2, and the effect control means (the effect control device 300). ) Moves the first accessory 40d1 from the vicinity of the display surface 41a to the vicinity of the second accessory 40d2 in accordance with the change of the appearance position in the front-rear direction of the stereoscopic image, and then from the display surface 41a of the second accessory 40d2. When a three-dimensional image appears at a position corresponding to the position, the second accessory 40d2 is activated.

  That is, when the first accessory 40d1 moves to the vicinity of the second accessory 40d2 in conjunction with the 3D effect (that is, the display of the stereoscopic image), the second accessory 40d2 is activated, so the first accessory 40d1 is the second It is possible to produce an effect that activates the accessory 40d2.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment will be described.
In the gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment, the movable accessory 40d3 arranged around the display device 41 and in front of the display surface 41a of the display device 41, and the 3D role displayed on the display device 41 in three dimensions. It differs from the gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment in that a special effect different from a normal effect can be executed by a special accessory composed of an object Y. Therefore, hereinafter, parts having the same configurations as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and different parts are mainly described.

First, an example of the movable accessory 40d3 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 38A and 38B, the movable accessory 40d3 of the present embodiment is a three-dimensional accessory having a scissors shape that does not have one of the pair of blades. As with the scissors, the movable accessory 40d3 is provided with a rotating shaft J at a portion corresponding to the fulcrum of the scissors, and can be closed as shown in FIG. 38 (a) or as shown in FIG. 38 (b). It is configured so that it can be opened. Further, as shown in FIGS. 39A and 39B, the movable accessory 40d3 is arranged around the display surface 41a so that the blade portion of the movable accessory 40d3 can be disposed in front of the display surface 41a (see FIG. In the case of this embodiment, it is provided on the right side portion of the center case 40.

Next, an example of the 3D accessory Y will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 39A and 39B, the 3D accessory Y of the present embodiment is a stereoscopic image in the shape of one of the pair of blades of the scissors. The 3D accessory Y is configured to appear in accordance with the movement of the movable accessory 40d3 or to move in conjunction with the movement of the movable accessory 40d3. Further, as shown in FIG. 39A, the 3D accessory Y is displayed in a stereoscopic manner on the near side (player side) from the reference plane (specifically, the planar image displayed on the display device 41). It is also possible, and as shown in FIG. 39 (b), a three-dimensional display can be provided on the back side of the reference plane.

(Example 1-1 of special effects)
FIGS. 40 to 42 show an example in which a screen split effect for splitting the screen displayed on the display device 41 is executed as a special effect.
First, for example, as shown in FIG. 40A, in the movable accessory 40d3, the extending direction of the rotation axis J of the movable accessory 40d3 is substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the movable accessory 40d3 Is waiting at a first stop position where the blade portion is not disposed in front of the display surface 41a. In the present embodiment, the screen split effect is such that the movable accessory 40d3 has the extending direction of the rotation axis J of the movable accessory 40d3 substantially parallel to the vertical direction, and the movable accessory 40d3 The screen split effect start effect, which is executed in a state where the blade portion is stopped at the second stop position arranged in front of the display surface 41a and is executed before the start of the screen split effect, is such that the movable accessory 40d3 is in the second stop position. It is assumed that the program is executed in a state stopped in the vicinity of.

  Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 40B, the movable accessory 40d3 swings between the first stop position and the vicinity of the second stop position. Thereby, the expectation that a screen division | segmentation production start effect will be started can be heightened. The movable accessory 40d3 may swing between the first stop position and the vicinity of the second stop position in this way, and then stop near the second stop position. May return.

Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 40C, the movable accessory 40d3 stops in the vicinity of the second stop position. As described above, when the movable accessory 40d3 operates and stops near the second stop position, the 3D accessory Y appears. However, the movable accessory 40d3 operates and stops near the second stop position. In some cases, the 3D character Y does not appear.
For example, as shown in FIG. 40D, when the 3D accessory Y does not appear even though the movable accessory 40d3 has stopped near the second stop position, for example, as shown in FIG. In addition, the movable accessory 40d3 returns to the first stop position, and the screen division effect start effect is not executed. As described above, when the screen split effect start effect is not executed, the movable accessory 40d3 returns to the first stop position, so whether the player executes the screen split effect start effect depending on the position of the movable accessory 40d3. It becomes possible to recognize whether or not.

  On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 40 (f), when the movable accessory 40d3 stops near the second stop position and the 3D accessory Y appears, a screen split effect start effect is executed. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 40 (g), at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (in the case of FIG. 40, the changing identification information (decoration special design)) is displayed. The movable accessory 40d3 and the 3D accessory Y move so as to be divided vertically with scissors. In the case of FIG. 40, the 3D accessory Y is three-dimensionally displayed on the back side of the decorative special symbol displayed on the plane. That is, the screen division effect start effect by the movable combination 40d3 and the 3D combination Y is performed on the reference plane (that is, the display surface 41a).

  When the screen displayed on the display device 41 is divided, the movable accessory 40d3 stops at the second stop position as shown in FIGS. 40 (h) and 41 (a), for example. Production is performed. Specifically, the screen is divided into an upper fluctuation area and a lower fluctuation area with a position facing the blade portion of the movable accessory 40d3 stopped at the second stop position as a boundary. A special symbol is displayed. As described above, when the screen split effect starts, the movable accessory 40d3 moves to the second stop position, so that the player can surely recognize whether the screen split effect has started according to the position of the movable accessory 40d3. It becomes possible to do.

  Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), when the result is “out” in both the variation display performed in the upper variation region and the variation display performed in the lower variation region, For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (c), the next special figure fluctuation display game is started while the movable accessory 40d3 is stopped at the second stop position, and the upper fluctuation area and the lower fluctuation area are changed. In each case, the variable display resumes.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (d), the fluctuation display performed in the upper fluctuation area or the fluctuation display performed in the lower fluctuation area (in the case of FIG. 41, the fluctuation display is performed in the upper fluctuation area. When the reach state occurs in the variable display), for example, as shown in FIGS. 41 (e) and 42 (a), the movable accessory 40d3 is a third stop position between the first stop position and the second stop position. The fluctuation region where the reach state occurs (in the case of FIG. 41, the upper fluctuation region) is the fluctuation region where the reach state does not occur (in the case of FIG. 41, the lower stage). And the special reach effect is started. As described above, since the movable accessory 40d3 moves to the third stop position and stops with the start of the special reach effect, the movable accessory 40d3 does not interfere with the special reach effect. In addition, since the movable accessory 40d3 moves to the third stop position and stops and does not return to the first stop position, the player determines whether or not the special reach effect is being performed depending on the position of the movable accessory 40d3. It becomes possible to recognize with certainty. Furthermore, in this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 41 (e) and FIG. 42 (a), with the start of the special reach effect, the holding display area for displaying the holding symbols (holding symbols R1 to R3 in the case of FIG. 41). The position may be moved.

Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 42 (b), when a special reach effect is executed and a big hit occurs as shown in FIG. 42 (c), for example, as shown in FIG. 42 (d). Then, the screen division effect ends, the movable accessory 40d3 returns to the first stop position, and the big hit round is started.
For example, as shown in FIG. 42 (e), when the big hit does not occur and the screen split effect is continued, the movable accessory 40d3 is second as shown in FIG. 42 (f), for example. Returning to the stop position, the next special figure fluctuation display game is started, and the fluctuation display is resumed in each of the upper fluctuation area and the lower fluctuation area.
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 40 (g), when the big hit does not occur and the screen split effect is not continued, the screen split effect is ended as shown in FIG. 42 (h), for example. The movable accessory 40d3 returns to the first stop position, and the next special figure variation display game is started.
As described above, when the screen split effect ends, the movable accessory 40d3 returns to the first stop position, so that the player can reliably recognize whether or not the screen split effect has ended according to the position of the movable accessory 40d3. It becomes possible.

That is, the effect control device 300 starts the special character effect in which the special character constituted by the movable character 40d3 and the image character (3D character Y) made of a stereoscopic image is controlled in a predetermined manner. Special effects (special effects such as screen split effects) that can be given changes to the display contents of the variable display game (special figure variable display game) that is changing through effects (screen split effect start effects, etc.) It serves as a special actor effect execution means to be executed.
The movable accessory 40d3 is on the side of the decorative display device (display device 41), and is in front of the first stop position, which is a normal stop position, and the decorative display device (display device 41). It is provided so as to be movable between a second stop position, which is a stop position when starting an object effect (special effect such as a screen split effect).
In addition, the special character effect execution means (the effect control device 300) moves the movable character 40d3 to the vicinity of the second stop position as a special character effect start effect (screen division effect start effect or the like) and displays the decoration. While being arranged in front of at least a part of images displayed on the device (display device 41) (in the case of this embodiment, identification information (decoration special symbol)), an image combination (3D combination Y) Is displayed at a position visually recognized behind the at least some of the images displayed on the decorative display device (display device 41).
In addition, when the special accessory effect (screen division effect in the case of this embodiment) is executed, the effect control means (the effect control device 300) displays the display surface 41a on a plurality of variable regions (in the case of the present embodiment, the upper stage). The variable information area and the lower variable area) are divided and the identification information (decoration special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner in each variable area.

(Example 1-2 of special effects)
In the case of FIGS. 40 to 42, at least a part of the images displayed on the display device 41 (specifically, identification information (decorative special symbol)) is always displayed in a plane. The image can be stereoscopically displayed on the back side of the display surface 41a, or the image can be stereoscopically displayed on the near side of the display surface 41a as shown in FIG.
In addition, in the case of FIG. 40 to FIG. 42, the screen division effect start effect by the movable combination 40d3 and the 3D combination Y is displayed on the reference plane (that is, the display plane as shown in FIGS. 44A and 44B, for example). 41a), the position where the screen split effect start effect is performed can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. For example, the screen split effect start effect can be performed at a position on the back side of the reference plane. 43 and 44 (c), it is also possible to perform the screen division effect start effect at a position closer to the front than the reference plane.

FIG. 43 shows an example in which a screen division effect for dividing the screen displayed on the display device 41 is executed as a special effect.
First, for example, as shown in FIG. 43 (a), the movable accessory 40d3 stands by at the first stop position.
Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 43B, the movable accessory 40d3 swings between the first stop position and the vicinity of the second stop position.

Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 43 (c), the movable accessory 40d3 stops near the second stop position, and for example, as shown in FIG. 43 (d), an image displayed on the display device 41. When three-dimensional display of at least a part of the image (in the case of FIG. 43, identification information (decoration special symbol) that is changing) is displayed in front of the display surface 41a, for example, as shown in FIG. The 3D character Y appears and the screen split effect start effect is executed.

In these cases, a stereoscopic image appears so as to be displayed curved in the front-rear direction corresponding to the curved shape of the first left frame constituent member 821 and the first right frame constituent member 831, and the second left frame The component member 822 and the second right frame component member 832 may appear to be curved and displayed in the front-rear direction corresponding to the curved shape. That is, at least the second left frame component member 822 and the second right frame component member 832 move more than the first left frame component member 821 and the first right frame component member 831 move. Since the image pop-out amount is large, the range of effects is widened, and it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

[Modification 2 of the third embodiment]
Next, Modification 2 of the third embodiment will be described.
In the third embodiment and the first modification of the third embodiment, the movable frame accessory 80 is configured by the upper frame component member 81 and a plurality of elongated rod-like left frame component members and right frame component members. As shown in FIG. 53, the frame accessory 80 may be configured by an upper frame constituent member 86 and a rectangular frame-shaped rotating frame constituent member 87.

First, an example of the upper frame constituent member 86 and the rotating frame constituent member 87 of this modification will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 52 (a), the upper frame constituting member 86 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape elongated in the left-right direction, like the upper frame constituting member 81 of the third embodiment, etc. As shown in FIG. 4, a hole 86a is provided in the substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the lower surface of the upper frame component 86.
Further, as shown in FIG. 52 (a), the rotation frame constituting member 87 is a rectangle having an opening having substantially the same size as the variation display region including the left variation display region, the middle variation display region, and the right variation display region. It has a frame shape. As shown in FIG. 52 (b), a pivot shaft portion 87 a that can be inserted into the hole portion 86 a of the upper frame component member 86 is provided at a substantially central portion of the upper surface of the pivot frame component member 87 in the left-right direction. ing.

As shown in FIG. 52 (b), the rotation shaft portion 87a is engaged with the hole 86a, and the rotation frame constituting member 87 is rotatable about the rotation shaft portion 87a. . That is, the rotating frame constituting member 87 is attached to the upper frame constituting member 86 so that the left side portion 87b and the right side portion 87c of the rotating frame constituting member 87 can swing in the front-rear direction.
As described above, in the movable frame accessory 80 (in the case of this modification, the rotating frame constituting member 87 constituting the movable frame accessory 80), the front surface of the movable frame accessory 80 is inclined with respect to the display surface 41a. Thus, at least a part (in the case of this modification, the left part 87b and the right part 87c) is movable.

The effect control device 300 is configured to cause the stereoscopic image to appear at a position corresponding to the position of the front surface of the movable frame accessory 80 when the stereoscopic image is displayed on the display device 41.
Specifically, when the effect control device 300 starts the 3D effect and rotates the rotation frame constituting member 87, the effect control device 300 responds to the distance from the display surface 41a of each part of the front surface of the rotation frame constituting member 87. Thus, stereoscopic images with different appearance positions in the front-rear direction are caused to appear.
Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 53A, the rotating frame constituting member 87 is moved to the first movement position (specifically, the left side portion 87b of the rotating frame constituting member 87 is located at the rear side (back). When the rotating frame constituting member 87 is rotated (so that the right side portion 87c moves to the front side (near side)), the left end portion of the display surface 41a is opposed to each part of the stereoscopic image. The amount of protrusion of the portion (that is, the image portion appearing at the left end portion of the space in which the stereoscopic image can appear (three-dimensional stereoscopic space)) is the smallest, and the right end portion of the display surface 41a from the portion facing the left end portion of the display surface 41a The amount of pop-out gradually increases over the portion facing (i.e., the image portion appearing at the right end of the three-dimensional space).
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 53B, the rotation frame constituting member 87 is moved to the normal stop position (specifically, the left side portion 87b and the right side portion 87c of the rotation frame constituting member 87 are moved). When the rotation frame constituting member 87 is rotated so that the positions in the front-rear direction coincide with each other, the projection amount of the stereoscopic image becomes constant regardless of the appearance position in the left-right direction in the three-dimensional stereoscopic space.
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 53 (c), the rotating frame constituting member 87 is moved to the second movement position (specifically, the left side portion 87b of the rotating frame constituting member 87 is set to the right side to the front side. When the rotating frame constituting member 87 is rotated so that 87c moves to the rear side, each part of the stereoscopic image is opposed to the left end portion of the display surface 41a (that is, a three-dimensional stereoscopic space). Of the image portion appearing at the left end portion of the image) is the largest, and appears from the portion facing the left end portion of the display surface 41a to the portion facing the right end portion of the display surface 41a (that is, the right end portion of the three-dimensional space). The pop-out amount gradually decreases over the image portion.
As described above, the effect control device 300 is displayed with an inclination corresponding to the inclination of the front surface of the movable frame accessory 80 (in the case of this modification, the rotating frame constituent member 87 constituting the movable frame accessory 80). A stereoscopic image appears.
