By updating, a random number for special figure determination which is a hardware random number is generated.
The special figure success / failure random number obtaining means 112 generates a special figure success / failure random number at the timing when the ball detection signal from the first start winning prize detection sensor 91 or the second start prize winning detection sensor 92 is input to the main controller 100. A special figure success / failure random number is acquired (latched) from the means 111.
The special figure success / failure determination means 113 is a special figure low probability determination table 113A and a special figure high probability determination which are tables (correspondence tables) for defining a correspondence relationship between the special figure success / failure random value and the loss information per special figure. Table 113B is provided, and whether or not the value of the special figure success / failure random number acquired by the special figure success / failure random number acquisition means 112 is per special figure or lost, the special figure low probability determination table 113A or the special figure high accuracy The determination is made with reference to the hour determination table 113B. The winning probability per special figure when referring to the special figure high accuracy determination table 113B is higher than the winning probability per special figure when referring to the special figure low accuracy determination table 113A.
It should be noted that the game state in which the special symbol low probability determination table 113A is referred to in the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 and the special state per game is determined or lost is the special figure normal game state in the present invention, and the special figure high accuracy is determined. The gaming state in which the time determination table 113B is referred to and the special figure per game or the loss is determined is the special figure high probability gaming state in the present invention. Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience, the “special figure normal gaming state” will be referred to as “special figure low probability” and the “special figure high probability gaming state” will be referred to as “special figure high probability”.

The type of symbol hit is determined.
The first special figure type table 117A and the second special figure type table 117B are tables that define the correspondence between the special figure type random number value and the special symbol type information indicating the type per special figure. For example, types of special symbols such as 4R special symbol A, 4R special symbol B, 4R special symbol C, and 16R special symbol are associated in advance. “4R” and “16R” are the abbreviations of “4R” and “16R”, and correspond to the special symbols in advance. The number of rounds per game attached. In other words, the type of the number of rounds of the winning game is determined by determining the type of the special symbol stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 40A or the second special symbol display device 40B by electronic lottery.
For example, the second special chart type table 117B has a higher probability of winning a win (per 16R special chart) that is more advantageous to the player than the first special chart type table 117A. It is easier to obtain a winning game that is more advantageous when a prize is awarded to the mouth 62.
The special figure type random number holding means 118 is a special figure type random number acquisition means 116 based on the winning of the ball to the first start winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62 during the change of the special symbol. When a random number for type determination per figure is acquired, the value of the random number for type determination per special figure is stored using the RAM of the main controller 100 up to a predetermined upper limit number. For example, the value for the first special figure type determining random number obtained based on the winning at the first start winning opening 61 and the second special figure type determining random number obtained based on the winning at the second starting winning opening 62 Are stored as reserved sphere random numbers.

The normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150 determines the hitting or losing by the electronic lottery (ordinary drawing lottery) when the ball passes through the through chucker 66. The normal symbol success / failure lottery means 150 is configured in substantially the same manner as the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. A random number generating unit 151 for determining whether or not to generate a normal / unusable random number that is a software random number by updating the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal input in milliseconds A random number acquisition unit 152 for determining whether or not a normal signal is received (latched) from a random number generator for normal or incorrect at the timing when a ball detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 95 is input to the main controller 100; Whether or not the value of the random number for normal / unusual acquisition acquired by the random number acquiring unit 152 for general-purpose / unusual is whether or not it is per common map, the normal / low-probability determination table 153A or When the normal figure success / failure determination means 153 for determining with reference to the fixed table 153B and the normal figure success / failure random number acquisition means 152 obtains the random number for normal or failure during normal symbol fluctuation, There is provided a random number holding means 154 for accepting / refusing random numbers for storing up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4) using the RAM of the main controller 100 as a reserved ball random number related to a normal symbol. In other words, the normal symbol use lottery means 150 is a means for performing a general drawing lottery related to the success or failure when the ball passes through the through chucker 66.
For the sake of convenience, the game state in which the normal symbol low / high probability determination table 150 uses the normal symbol low / probability determination table 150 to determine whether or not the normal symbol hit or lose is referred to as “general symbol low probability”. A gaming state in which a determination table is used to determine whether or not the usual figure is reached is called “normal figure high probability”.

  The hit game control means 160 opens and closes the attacker device 65 for a predetermined round according to the type of the special figure at the time of special figure hit, and provides the player with a game.

  The electric tulip control means 170 energizes the solenoid 63A of the electric tulip 63 when elected for each ordinary drawing by the electronic lottery (ordinary drawing lottery) by the normal symbol determination lottery means 150, and the electric tulip 63 The blade member is opened and closed. The electric tulip control means 170 opens the electric tulip 63 twice in an opening time of, for example, 2.9 seconds with respect to one general figure in the normal figure high accuracy. For example, the electric tulip 63 is opened once with a release time of 0.2 seconds. In the ordinary high accuracy, as described above, the electronic tulip 63 is opened twice for 2.9 seconds based on the winning in the electronic symbol lottery means 150 for the normal symbol. If the player strikes the ball on the right side of the game board 30, the ball can be easily won at the second start winning opening 62. In other words, it is easy to open the electric tulip 63 and the player can easily (support) winning a ball to the second start winning opening 62 (so-called electric support state). is there.

The game mode control means 180 is a means for setting the game mode after the winning game according to the type per special figure derived as a result of the lottery by the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery.
The game mode control means 180 includes a game state setting table (not shown) that defines the correspondence between special symbol types, game mode types, and game states. The game modes are, for example, a normal mode, a small chance mode, a medium chance mode, and a large chance mode. The gaming mode control means 180 refers to the gaming state setting table and sets the gaming state of the gaming mode that is determined in advance according to the type of special symbol.
The large chance mode is a mode in which, for example, when the type per special figure is 16R special symbol A, the mode shifts after winning game. The gaming state in this mode is set to a special figure high probability (until next time) and a normal figure high probability (until next time) state (so-called probability variation gaming state (with time reduction)).
The medium chance mode is a mode in which, for example, when the type per special figure is 16R special symbol B, the mode shifts after the hit game. The gaming state in this mode is set to the special figure low probability and normal figure high probability (99 times) state.
The small chance mode is a mode in which, for example, when the type per special symbol is 4R special symbol A or 4R special symbol B, the mode is shifted to after the game. The game state in this mode is the special figure high probability (until next time) and the normal figure low probability state (so-called latent probability variable game state) when the type per special figure is 4R special symbol A. When the type is the 4R special symbol B, the special figure low probability and the normal figure low probability state (so-called game state after the small hit game) are set.
The normal mode is a mode in which the game state after the winning game is set to the special figure low probability state and the normal figure low probability state.
Note that “until next time” means that, after the winning game is over, until the winning is obtained by a special symbol lottery based on the winning of a ball to the first starting winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62, etc. “99 times” means that the special symbol lottery based on the winning of the ball in the first starting winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62 after the winning game is finished is a special figure with high accuracy, etc. It is performed 99 times in the state of. The small hit game is a game in which the attacker device 65 is opened twice for 0.6 seconds, for example, but there are few chances to win the first big prize opening 64. A game that is usually set in a low probability state. The latent probability changing game is a game in which the attacker device 65 is opened twice for, for example, 0.6 seconds, but there are few chances to win the first big prize opening 64. A game set to.

The main control device 100 provides information on the special symbol per lot related to the first special symbol lottery or the second special symbol lottery, the special symbol type, the special symbol variation pattern No, and the current game mode. Send to.
As shown in FIG. 7, the effect control device 200 includes background determining means 210 that determines the background to be displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 50 based on the game mode information sent from the main control device 100. The background determination unit 210 includes a background table 210A that defines the correspondence between the game mode type and the background image type, and the game mode is displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50 with reference to the background table 210A. A background image to be displayed is determined in accordance with.
The background table 210A is associated with a normal background image in normal mode, a small chance background image in small chance mode, a medium chance background image in medium chance mode, and a large chance background image in large chance mode. Yes. These background images can be easily distinguished, and thus the player can determine the current game mode by looking at the background image displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50.

In addition, the production control device 200 includes production pattern selection means 220, and the production pattern selection means 220 is the special figure variation pattern No. determined by the variation display control means 130 described above. And an effect pattern table 221 defining the correspondence between the types of effect patterns.
The effect pattern table 221 is stored in a ROM (not shown) in the effect control device 200 and includes a plurality of special effect pattern tables per special drawing referred to when hitting a special drawing. Provide multiple types.
The effect pattern is a change content and a change time. The variation content is, for example, a notice effect, various reach effects, a loss change effect, or the like.
The effect pattern selection means 220 refers to an effect pattern table that differs for each game mode. That is, the effect pattern selection means 220 recognizes the current game mode sent from the main controller 100, and refers to the effect pattern table determined in advance according to the type of the game mode.

The effect control device 200 performs an effect based on the effect pattern acquired from the effect pattern table 221. For example, the effect design determined by the effect pattern is displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50, and is stopped and displayed in a manner indicating the result of the special symbol lottery substantially in synchronization with the stop time of the special symbol as the change time elapses. . Then, when the special symbol displayed in a stopped state and the stop mode of the effect symbol are modes indicating a special symbol, the above-described winning game is started, and after the winning game depending on the type of the special symbol. The game mode changes.
The effect control device 200 determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol based on the information related to the display of the effect symbol transmitted from the main control device 100. For example, the effect control device 200 determines “777” or “333” as a stop symbol when the type per special symbol is determined to be 16R special symbol A in any game mode. If the result of the electronic lottery (the first special symbol lottery, the second special symbol lottery) is lost and the production pattern is reach, only the central number of the three numbers is the other It is prepared in advance so that the reach numbers “121”, “454”, etc., which are different from the two, will be the stop symbols of the effect design, or if the effect pattern is not reach, all three numbers will be different lose eyes. In addition, it is determined by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of stop symbols for losing.

In the present embodiment, the effect control device 200 controls the effect display device 50 based on the content of the specific effect pattern acquired from the effect pattern table 221 by the effect pattern selection unit 220 and performs an image effect on the display screen 51. At the same time, the movable body drive device 33 is driven and controlled to move the movable body 32 up and down in accordance with the contents of the image effect, thereby causing a hanging pig effect as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, for example. Furthermore, when this hanging pig effect is selected from the effect pattern table 221 by the effect pattern selection means 220, the effect control device 200 operates according to the operation of the operation button 9 of the player by the operation effect pattern lottery means 230 described later. The display control of the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50 and the drive control of the movable body 32 are executed in superposition with the operation effect pattern which is the effect pattern information selected from the pattern table 233. This hanging pig effect may be generated in any of the game modes described above.
The hanging pig effect is an image effect that changes so that the number of pigs 502 hanging on one rope 501 displayed on the display screen 51 increases so as to hang from the lower end 32e of the movable body 32 at the uppermost position. This is a combined effect having a story that is combined with a movable object effect that fluctuates so that the movable object 32 is gradually lowered as the number increases. That is, the hanging pig effect is an image effect that is displayed in a variable manner so that the number of pigs 502 as hanging objects that are hung from the rope 501 as hanging objects that are displayed as hanging from the lower end 32e of the movable body 32 increases. This is a combined effect composed of a movable body effect that lowers the movable body 32 as the number of pigs 502 is variably displayed so as to increase.

The hanging pig production has a failure pattern and a success pattern.
The success pattern is a pattern in which the movable body 32 descends to the lowest position due to the weight of the pig 502 hanging on the rope 501.
The failure pattern is a pattern in which the rope 501 is cut by the weight of the pig 502 hanging on the rope 501. As the failure pattern, a pattern in which the rope 501 is cut and returned to the initial position (up to the uppermost position) when the movable body 32 is lowered halfway, or the rope 501 is cut and the initial position is reached without the movable body 32 being lowered. There is a pattern that returns to (up to the top position).

An example of the success pattern will be described with reference to FIGS.
On the basis of the effect pattern that the effect control device 200 acquires from the effect pattern table 221 by the effect pattern selection means 220 when the ball enters the first start winning award 61 or the second start winning award 62, the effect control device 200 is shown in FIG. The effect display device 50 and the movable body 32 are controlled so that the combined effects shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 are continuously performed.
That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, first, the movable body 32 moves downward, and the display screen 51 displays the rope 501 so that the rope 501 is suspended from the lower end 32e of the movable body 32. An initial image of one pig 502 hanging on the rope 501 and a large number of pigs 502 waiting is displayed at the bottom of the display screen 51. That is, an effect image is displayed in which the rope 501 hangs down from the lower end of the movable body 32 positioned in front of and above the display screen 51 and one pig 502 hangs at the lower end of the rope 501.
Next, as shown in FIG. 9B, a character image of “READY” is added to the initial image, and then, instead of the character image of “READY”, as shown in FIG. ”And a guide image 503 in which an image supporting the pressing of the operation button and an image indicating the button operation effective remaining number are combined are displayed at the lower right of the display screen 51.
Then, when the player presses the operation button 9, the effect control device 200 draws an operation effect pattern in which the moving body 32 is moved and the display image content is determined, and the effect control device 200 obtains the operation effect obtained by the lottery. By controlling the movement of the movable body 32 and the image displayed on the display screen 51 based on the pattern, the movable body 32 and the effect display device 50 obtain the operation obtained from the operation effect pattern table 233 by the operation effect pattern lottery means 230 described later. A coalescence effect based on the effect pattern is performed.
For example, first, as shown in FIG. 10A, the number of pigs 502 is increased so that the pig 502 that has been waiting downward on the display screen 51 jumps to the rope 501 and several pigs 502 hang on the rope 501. As the variation image is displayed, a coalescing effect that moves the movable body 32 so as to be slightly lowered is performed.
Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, a variation image is displayed in which the number of pigs 502 is increased so that a group of pigs 502A, which is a set of dozens of pigs 502, hangs on the rope 501. Thus, a united effect is shown that shows how the rope 501 is pulled up or down by controlling the step motor 20 so as to move the movable body 32 up and down finely.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the moving image is displayed as a variation image is displayed in which the number of pigs 502 is increased so that a group of pigs 502B, which is a set of many pigs 502, hangs on the rope 501. An effect showing that the rope 501 is pulled down by lowering the body 32 is performed.
That is, as the number of pigs 502 hanging on the rope 501 displayed on the display screen 51 increases, the image effect displayed on the display screen 51 changes, and as the number of pigs 502 increases, the display changes. Thus, a combined effect is produced by a movable body effect that lowers the movable body 32.
Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the mode succeeds when the movable body 32 is lowered to the lowest position, and as shown in FIG. 11 (b), for example, a mode for notifying the possibility of shifting to the small chance mode. A transition effect image 510 is displayed.

An example of the failure pattern will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 10 and FIG.
In the case of the failure pattern, for example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a) from the state of FIG. 10 (c), the rope 501 is cut, the pig 502 is dropped, and the combined effect of displaying the star 504 is performed. As shown in (b), the letter “failure” is displayed on the display screen 51 after the movable body 32 has moved up to the uppermost position. Thereafter, the background image in the normal mode is displayed.

The operation effect pattern lottery will be described. The effect control device 200 includes an operation effect pattern lottery means 230 that performs a lottery with a signal based on the operation of the operation button 9 (see FIG. 7). As shown in FIG. 13, the operation effect pattern lottery means 230 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal that is periodically input (for example, 2 milliseconds), thereby generating a software random number. Random number generating means 231 for generating the operation effect pattern and random number acquiring means 232 for acquiring (latching) the random number for the operation effect pattern from the random number generating means 231 at the timing when the output signal from the switch indicating that the operation button 9 is operated is input. And the operation effect pattern table 233 in which the random value and the operation effect pattern as a plurality of types of effect pattern information are associated with each other, and the operation effect pattern table 233 is referred to and associated with the random value acquired by the random number acquisition unit 232 And an operation effect control means 234 for performing a coalescing effect based on the operated operation effect pattern. The operation effect pattern table 233 is stored in a ROM (storage means) (not shown) in the effect control device 200.
Therefore, since the combined effect with different operation effect patterns is executed depending on the random value acquired by the random number acquisition means 232, the contents of the hanging pig effect differ depending on the operation of the operation button 9, and the operation button 9 is operated. It is possible to provide a player with various different merge effects by the intervention of the player.
That is, when the player operates to press the operation button 9 within the operation effective period during the game, an output signal is output to the effect control device 200 from an unillustrated switch linked to the operation button 9, and the effect control is performed. The device 200 performs lottery of the operation effect pattern, and the effect control device 200 controls the combined effect based on the operation effect pattern obtained by the lottery, that is, the movable body 32 and the effect display device 50 to control the movable body effect by the movable body 32. And the combined effect by the image effect by the effect display device 50 are executed.

  That is, in the operation effect pattern table 233, a plurality of patterns of information on operation effect patterns in which the increase pattern of pigs 502 displayed on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50 and the vertical movement pattern of the movable body 32 are combined are registered. The production control device 200 has the operation button 9 within the operation effective period set within a predetermined time from the time when the operation button operation acceptance start image such as FIG. 9C based on the production pattern is displayed. An operation effect pattern lottery is performed triggered by the input of the first output signal from the switch indicating that the operation has been performed, and the effect display device 50 and the movable body 32 are controlled based on the operation effect pattern extracted by the lottery. To perform a coalition effect. That is, the plurality of types of operation effect patterns referred to here are contents of a plurality of types of combination effects that are different in the increase pattern of the pigs 502 and the vertical movement pattern of the movable body 32.

In addition, the effect control device 200 includes an operation button operation presence / absence determination unit that determines whether or not the operation button 9 has been operated within the operation effective period. As shown in FIG. 14, the effect control device 200 determines whether or not the operation button 9 has been operated within the operation effective period depending on whether or not an output signal from the switch indicating that the operation button 9 has been operated is input. Is determined by the operation button operation presence / absence determination means (Yes in step S1), and if it is determined that the operation button 9 is operated within the operation effective period, the operation effect pattern lottery means 230 performs the operation effect pattern lottery (step S2) The movable body 32 and the effect display device 50 are controlled based on the operation effect pattern acquired from the operation effect pattern table 233 by the lottery, and the combined effect by the movable object effect and the image effect is performed (step S3).
When the operation button operation presence / absence determining unit determines that the operation button 9 has not been operated within the operation effective period (No in step S1), the effect control device 200 uses the effect pattern selection unit 220 from the effect pattern table 221. Based on the acquired effect pattern, the movable body 32 and the effect display device 50 are controlled, and the combined effect by the movable object effect and the image effect is performed (step S4). In this case, for example, a combined effect is produced in which the movable body 32 is not lowered from the state of FIG.

9 to FIG. 12 will be described as an example. FIGS. 9A, 9B, 9C, 11B, and 12B show the effect pattern table 221 by the effect pattern selection means 220. FIG. 10 (a), (b), (c), FIG. 11 (a) and FIG. 12 (a) are combined effects based on the effect patterns acquired from the effect pattern table 221. An example of the combined effect content that is composed by combining the content with the combined effect content based on the operation effect pattern acquired from the operation effect pattern table 233 by the operation effect pattern lottery means 230 based on the operation of the operation button 9 of the player. Represents.
Specifically, the content of the effect pattern acquired from the effect pattern table 221 is obtained by causing the effect control device 200 to perform, for example, the combined effect of FIGS. 11 is performed in such a manner that the number of the image indicating the remaining button operation effective number of seconds of the guide image 503 is counted down in a state in which one is hung, and then after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the operation effective period, FIG. It is the content which performs the unification effect of b) or FIG. And the content of the operation effect pattern acquired from the operation effect pattern table 233 based on the first operation of the player's operation button 9 is, for example, FIG. b) (c), FIG. 11 (a), or FIG. 12 (a). The content is to be performed from the effect pattern table 221 until the predetermined time elapses from the start of the operation effective period. In the combined effect such that the number of images showing the number of seconds remaining in the button operation of the guide image 503 is counted down in a state where one pig 502 is hung on the above-described rope 501 which is a combined effect based on the rendered effect pattern, Based on the operation effect pattern acquired from the operation effect pattern table 233, for example, FIG. 10 (a) (b) (c), FIG. So that the combined performance obtained by combining the combined production of a) is carried out.

As the contents of the operation effect pattern acquired from the operation effect pattern table 233 based on the first operation of the operation button 9 after the operation effective period starts, the number of pigs 502 is increasing rapidly and the moving body 32 descending speed is Combining effect 1 in a fast mode, combining effect 2 in a mode in which the number of pigs 502 does not increase at all and the movable body 32 does not descend, and the method of increasing the number of pigs 502 is slow and the descending speed of the movable body 32 is also slow. There is a united effect 3 or the like that moves up and down finely.
Therefore, for example, when the union effect 1 is being executed, the union effect that the number of pigs 502 is increased by the continuous hitting of the operation button 9 is provided to the player, and the operation button 9 is successfully hit repeatedly. Thus, an impression that the number of pigs 502 has increased can be given to the player. In this case, when the success pattern is obtained, it is possible to give the player a satisfaction that the player has succeeded by repeated hits. In addition, when the combined effect 2 is executed, a combined effect that does not increase the number of pigs 502 even if the operation button is repeatedly hit is provided to the player. In this case, the operation button 9 is pressed more. Without it, the player can be given the impression that the number of pigs 502 will not increase, and the player can be absorbed in the game. In addition, when the united effect 3 is being executed, it is possible to give the player an impression that the number of pigs 502 will increase if the operation button 9 is pressed more, and the player may be enthusiastic about the game. it can.

  Further, according to the embodiment of FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, when the player does not operate the operation button 9 within the operation effective period, the combined effect based on the effect pattern acquired from the effect pattern table 221 is performed. Is called. For example, an image showing the remaining button operation effective seconds of the guide image 503 in a state where one pig 502 hangs on the rope 501 as shown in FIG. Coalition effect that numbers are counted down is performed. After that, in the case of the success pattern, after one pig 502 drops the movable body 32 to the lowest position as shown in FIG. 11A, the combination effect shown in FIG. 11B is performed. In the case of the failure pattern, after the union effect that one pig 502 falls from the rope 501 cut as shown in FIG. 12A is performed, “failure” as shown in FIG. ”Is performed to display a character image“ ”.

According to the embodiment, an image effect that displays an image on the display screen 51 of the effect display device 50 and a movable body 32 that moves the movable body 32 vertically up and down between the front upper side of the display screen 51 and the front side of the center portion of the display screen 51. Since the production control device 200 for executing the combined production by the body production is provided, the image production and the movable body production are combined, and the real production in which the movable body production and the image production cooperate, that is, the image production and the movable production. It is possible to provide the player with a realistic effect that changes in conjunction with the body effect. That is, it is possible to provide a realistic effect of dropping a three-dimensional movable body. Moreover, since the contents that cause the movable body that is a solid to fall are displayed as a variation image, it becomes possible to combine the movement of the movable body with various variation images, and to provide a rich and realistic combination effect. . That is, it is possible to provide a realistic and many variations by combining the image effect and the movable object effect.
In addition, since the movable body 32 moves from the upper side to the front side of the display screen 51, it is possible to provide an effect that the movable body 32 gradually enters the field of view of the player who views the display screen 51. It will be possible to provide a unique performance that gives a sense of expectation.

  In addition, since the effect control device 200 performs the operation effect pattern lottery in response to the input of the output signal from the switch indicating that the operation button 9 has been operated, the combined effects that differ depending on the operation of the operation button 9 by the player. Can be provided, and various combined effects can be provided to the player.

  Further, it is possible to provide a comical union effect in which the pig 502 hangs on the rope 501 and lowers the movable body 32. Further, when the operation button 9 is operated, the increase pattern of the pigs 502 and the vertical movement pattern of the movable body 32 become different, and a variety of combined effects can be provided to the player.

In the embodiment, the image production is displayed in a variable manner so that the number of pigs 502 as increasing objects hanging from the rope 501 as an intermediate object displayed so as to hang from the lower end of the movable body 32 increases. Although an example in which a combined effect composed of a movable body effect that moves the movable body 32 downward in the vertical direction as the number 502 is displayed in a variable manner is shown, the intermediate object and the increased object are There is no particular limitation.
For example, a coalescence effect such as kite flying may be performed. In this case, a movable body imitating a heel that moves in a diagonally up and down direction as a movable body and a movable body effect that moves the heeled movable body in a diagonally up and down direction, and displaying a kite string as an intermediate object and an increased object Displaying children, performing image effects that increase children, and performing combined effects with a story about whether the kite string breaks and the kite movable body leaves or the kite movable body can be drawn do it.
Moreover, you may make it perform the unification effect like a tug-of-war. In this case, a movable steel effect that moves the steel ball movable body in the horizontal direction by providing a steel ball movable body that imitates a large steel ball that moves in the lateral direction as the movable body, and displays a rope as an intermediate object and an increase / decrease object As a human being, an image production that increases humans is performed, and a coalescence production that gives a story of whether the steel ball movable body can be pulled away or the steel ball movable body can be drawn is performed.
