Description

  The present invention includes a variable display device that variably displays a plurality of types of identification information that can be distinguished from each other and derives and displays a display result, and is advantageous for a player when a specific display result is derived and displayed on the variable display device. The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine that is controlled to a specific gaming state.

  As a gaming machine, a game ball, which is a game medium, is launched into a game area by a launching device, and when a game ball wins a prize area such as a prize opening provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There is something to be done. Further, a variable display device capable of variably displaying the identification information (also referred to as “fluctuation”) is provided, and when the display result of the variable display of the identification information becomes a specific display result in the variable display device, the game state (game There is a machine configured to give a predetermined game value to a player by changing the state of the machine (specifically, the state where the gaming machine is controlled) (so-called pachinko machine).

  In addition, after setting a predetermined number of bets for one game on a predetermined game medium, the player starts variable display of identification information by the variable display device by operating the start lever, and the player By operating the stop button provided corresponding to the display device, the variable display of the identification information is stopped within the range of the maximum delay time determined in advance from the operation timing, and the variable display of all the variable display devices is displayed. In accordance with the display result derived when the game is stopped, a winning occurs, a predetermined game medium determined in advance according to the winning is paid out, and when a specific winning occurs, a player is given a predetermined gaming value as a gaming state. There is one that is configured to be in a state to be given to (so-called slot machine).

  The game value is the right that the state of the variable winning ball apparatus provided in the gaming area of the gaming machine becomes advantageous for a player who is easy to win, and the right for becoming advantageous for a player. In other words, or a condition for winning a prize ball is easily established.

  In a pachinko machine, a specific display mode determined in advance is derived and displayed as a display result of variable display of special symbols (identification information) that is started in the variable display device based on the winning of a game ball at the start winning opening. If this happens, a “big hit” will occur. The derived display is to finally stop and display a symbol (final stop symbol). When the big hit occurs, for example, the big winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times, and the game shifts to a big hit gaming state where the hit ball is easy to win. And in each open period, if there is a prize for a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the big prize opening, the big prize opening is closed. And the number of times of opening the special winning opening is fixed to a predetermined number (for example, 15 rounds). An opening time (for example, 29 seconds) is determined for each opening, and even if the number of winnings does not reach a predetermined number, the big winning opening is closed when the opening time elapses. Hereinafter, the opening period of each special winning opening may be referred to as a round. A game in a round may be referred to as a round game.

  In the variable display device, the symbols other than the symbol that becomes the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol in the left, middle, and right symbols) continue for a predetermined period of time and stop and shake in a state that matches the specific display result. It can be a big hit before the final result is displayed because it is moving, scaling, or deforming, or multiple symbols change synchronously with the same symbol, or the position of the displayed symbol is switched. An effect performed in a state where the sex is continued (hereinafter, these states are referred to as reach states) is referred to as reach effect. Further, the reach state and its state are referred to as a reach mode. Furthermore, variable display including reach production is called reach variable display. Then, when the display result of the symbol variably displayed on the variable display device is not a specific display result, it becomes “out of”, and the variable display state ends. A player plays a game while enjoying how to generate a big hit.

  In addition, during one symbol change, the left middle right symbol is temporarily stopped (pause. In general, during the pause, the left middle right symbol is displayed on the display screen as if it is shaking (swaying). There is a gaming machine configured to perform a related display effect in the changing period before each temporary stop and in the changing period after the temporary stop (for example, patents) Reference 1). In addition, the fluctuation of the symbol between the temporary stop and the final stop or the next temporary stop is referred to as re-change. In the following description, the change in the symbol from the start of change to the first temporary stop may be referred to as the initial change. In addition, the effect mode executed in response to the re-variation period (including the initial change period) is referred to as re-change effect (so-called pseudo continuous notice (pseudo continuous)).

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a gaming machine that executes a rendition effect by re-changing a symbol once or a plurality of times during symbol variation. In the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, the background image is changed according to the number of times of re-variation of the pseudo-series (for example, a display object such as a temple in the background image is sequentially enlarged). An effect that visually emphasizes the number of re-variations is executed.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-204809 (paragraph 0118, FIGS. 36-40)

  In the gaming machine that performs the effect of the pseudo-ream as described in Patent Document 1, it is generally configured such that the greater the number of re-variable displays in the pseudo-ream, the higher the probability of winning the specific gaming state (big hit). Yes. That is, with such a configuration, the reliability that becomes a big hit is varied according to the number of re-variable displays. Therefore, when a pseudo-ream effect is performed, the player is often interested in how many times the number of re-variable displays in the pseudo-ream is executed continuously. In the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, a temporary stop symbol or the like for pseudo-continuous display is temporarily stopped during symbol variation, so that the player can recognize that a pseudo-ream effect is executed. However, it is impossible to recognize how many times the re-variable display in the pseudo-run is continuously executed, and it is impossible to immediately recognize how much the player has a big hit.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to increase the sense of expectation for a specific gaming state in a gaming machine in which a pseudo-ream effect is executed.

The gaming machine according to the present invention displays a specific display result (for example, an effect display device 9) on variable display means (for example, an effect display device 9) that variably displays a plurality of types of identification information (for example, effect symbols) that can identify each of them. For example, a gaming machine that controls a specific gaming state (for example, a big winning gaming state) advantageous to the player when the big winning symbol) is derived and displayed, and whether or not to control to the specific gaming state is derived. Predetermining means determined before display (for example, a part for executing processing for determining whether or not to make a big hit in the game control microcomputer 560) and variable display of identification information based on the determination result of the predetermining means Variable display pattern determining means for determining a pattern (for example, a variation pattern based on a random number for variation pattern determination in the game control microcomputer 560) Corresponding to the determination result of the variable display pattern determining means, and variable display executing means (for example, the effect control microcomputer 100) for executing effects including variable display of identification information. The variable display pattern is temporarily stopped until the display result is derived and displayed after the variable display of the identification information is started. A plurality of types of re-variable display patterns (for example, variation patterns # 15 to # 32, # 34, # 36 to # 39, # with pseudo-continuations) for performing re-variable display for performing variable display of identification information again after a predetermined number of times 41- # 44, # 46, # 48- # 51, # 53- # 56, # 58, # 60- # 63, # 65- # 68), and variable display pattern determining means When the re-variable display pattern is determined as the variable display pattern, if it is determined to control to the specific gaming state by the pre-determining means, the case is determined not to control to the specific gaming state by the pre-determining means In comparison, a re-variable display pattern having a high rate of execution of re-variable display is determined at a high rate, and in the variable display when the re-variable display pattern is determined by the variable display pattern determining means, the specific game state is controlled. It is decided that the step-up notice effect is determined by the notice effect determining means for determining whether or not to execute the step-up notice effect performed by a plurality of notice steps as the notice effect for notifying the fact, and the step-up notice effect is determined by the notice effect determining means. Sometimes, multiple notice steps are performed for each of the revariable displays performed in the revariable display pattern. And a notice display effect executing means, wherein the variable display executing means executes the effect related to the number of times the revariable display is continued when the variable display of the identification information is executed by the revariable display pattern. Is a selection ratio that differs depending on the number of re-variable displays executed by the re-variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determining means, and in each re-variable display, any one of a plurality of stages from the first step of the notice step is performed. It is characterized by deciding whether to develop to the notice step of the stage.
With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance a sense of expectation for a specific gaming state in a gaming machine in which a revariable display effect is executed.

The variable display pattern determination means determines a revariable display pattern in which the number of executions of the revariable display is equal to or greater than the specific number only when it is determined by the prior determination means to shift to the specific game state (eg, game control When the microcomputer 560 determines the variation patterns # 39, # 44, # 46, # 51, # 56, # 58, # 63, # 68 with four re-variations pseudo-continuations only in the case of a big hit May be configured).
With such a configuration, it is possible to attract the player's attention that the number of executions of the re-variable display is a specific number or more. Further, since it is possible to provide a case where it is determined that the specific game state is established if the number of executions of the re-variable display is equal to or greater than the specific number, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

When the revariable display pattern is determined, the temporary stop display result determining means for determining the temporary stop display result to be temporarily stopped is determined not to shift to the specific gaming state, the revariable display pattern is determined, When the number of remaining re-variable displays after the temporary stop display result is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the identification information using the variable display pattern is the first predetermined number of times, the first special display as the special display result The result can be determined (for example, the production control microcomputer 100 is able to determine the group B pseudo-continuous chance symbol when the remaining number of re-changes is two or more fluctuations) It is determined not to shift to the specific gaming state, a revariable display pattern is determined, and the temporary stop display result is displayed during variable display of identification information using the revariable display pattern. The second special display result can be determined as the special display result when the remaining number of re-variable display executions after the stop display is the second predetermined number of times (for example, the production control microcomputer 100 is out of place). However, when the remaining number of re-changes is 3 or more, the group C pseudo continuous chance symbol may be determined).
With such a configuration, not only the special display result is displayed as a temporary stop, but also the type of specific display result that is displayed as a temporary stop can be noticed by the player, improving the interest of the game Can be made.

The game machine changes in stages from one stage to a plurality of stages according to a predetermined system that is a notice effect that informs that there is a possibility of a specific display result based on the determination result of the prior determination means. Step-up notice effect determining means (for example, step-up notice effect determining means for determining that the effect changes to a predetermined stage at a higher rate when the specific display result is not the specific display result when the step-up notice effect is produced) The step of performing the process of determining how many stage effects to develop in the stage control microcomputer 100 is executed, and the step-up notice effect based on the determination result of the step-up notice effect determining means. Step-up notice effect execution means to be executed (for example, in the effect control microcomputer 100) And a variable display pattern determining means for executing a revariable display N times (for example, two revariable display patterns). The second revariable display pattern that executes revariable display M times (N <M) (e.g., the fluctuation pattern that accompanies three revariables) is pre-determined rather than the variation pattern with pseudoreams. Using variable display pattern determination data (for example, a variation pattern type determination table, a variation pattern determination table) set so as to increase the possibility of being determined as a specific display result in the means, the variable is re-variable. The display pattern is determined (for example, in the case of deviation, the variation pattern type and the variation pattern are allocated so that the selection ratio decreases as the number of re-variation increases. In the case of jackpot, the game control microcomputer 560 determines that the variation pattern with the pseudo-ream is determined by allocating the variation pattern so that the selection ratio increases as the number of re-variations increases. (The variation pattern is determined so that the variation pattern with three re-variation pseudo-continuations has a higher percentage of big hits than the variation pattern with two re-variation pseudo-continuations) The means is a period from the start of the variable display of the identification information to the first temporary stop during the variable display of the identification information by the variable display control means, and a period during the re-variable display executed once or multiple times. The step-up notice effect is executed in each period during the re-variable display (for example, the effect control microcomputer 100 displays the pseudo-ream effect. When performing, a separate step-up notice effect is executed for each change. For example, if a step-up notice effect that develops from step A to step B with the first fluctuation is executed, a step-up notice effect that starts again from step A and develops to step C is executed separately in the next second fluctuation. ), The step-up notice effect determining means a (a) as the step-up notice effect executed in the period during the Nth re-variable display only when the variable display pattern determining means determines the second re-variable display pattern. ≧ 2) The stage of the step-up notice effect with the number of stages less than the stage is determined (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the effect control microcomputer 100 performs the re-variation three times of quasi-continuation. Step-up notice effect that ends only at step A or develops to step B in the second re-variation In contrast to the case where the quasi-continuous re-variation is performed twice, a step-up notice effect that always develops to step C or more is executed in the second re-variation). May be.
With such a configuration, the player can perform the variable display more than N times when the step-up notice effect having the number of stages less than a is performed in the period during the Nth variable display. Therefore, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the specific display result and improve the interest of the game.

The variable display pattern determination means is executed after a temporary stop display according to the number of executions of the revariable display in the revariable display pattern when determining any one of a plurality of types of revariable display patterns as the variable display pattern. The variable display pattern is determined so that the selection ratio of the reach types to be different (for example, as shown in FIG. 4, normal reach is selected only when there is no pseudo-continuity (only when re-variation is 0)), In the case where the game control microcomputer 560 determines a variation pattern with a pseudo-continuation by allocating variation patterns so that the selection ratio of super reach A and super reach B differs according to the number of re-variations , The variation pattern is determined so that the selection ratio of the reach type varies depending on the number of re-variations) There.
With such a configuration, it is possible to vary the appearance ratio of the type of reach effect according to the number of executions of the re-variable display. Therefore, not only the number of executions of the re-variable display, but also the player's expectation can be given not only to the type of reach production, but also to improve the interest in the game.

Another aspect of the gaming machine according to the present invention is a plurality of types of winning identification information (for example, “red 7 (outline 7 in the figure)” arranged on the outer periphery of the reels 602L, 602C, and 602R). , A winning variable display section (for example, reels 602L, 602C, and 602R) that variably displays “BAR”, “Replay”, “Watermelon”, “Cherry”, and “Bell”. And a variable display unit for winning is variably displayed, a display result is derived and displayed by stopping variable display of the variable display unit for winning, and a game machine (for example, a slot machine) capable of generating a winning according to the display result 601), before the display result is derived and displayed on the winning variable display section, it is determined whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings (for example, a small combination, a replaying combination, and a special combination) to be generated. Advance prize Identification means (for example, a part for executing an internal lottery process for determining whether or not a small combination, replay combination, or special combination in the main control unit 641 is won) and a plurality of types of performance identifications that can be identified An effect variable display unit (for example, the liquid crystal display 651) that variably displays information (for example, symbols Z1 to Z3 displayed on the liquid crystal display 651), and a variable display pattern that determines a variable display pattern of the effect identification information. Determination means (for example, a part that executes processing for determining a variation pattern based on a variation pattern determination random number in accordance with processing similar to the game control microcomputer 560 in the main control unit 641), and a determination result of the variable display pattern determination means Corresponding to the variable display execution means (for example, in the sub-control unit 691) that executes an effect including at least a variable display of the effect identification information. And the variable display pattern is a variable display pattern after the variable display of the effect identification information is started. A plurality of types of re-variable display patterns (for example, fluctuations accompanied by pseudo-continuations) for performing re-variable display for executing the variable display of the effect identification information once again after temporarily stopping display until the display result is derived and displayed. Patterns # 15 to # 32, # 34, # 36 to # 39, # 41 to # 44, # 46, # 48 to # 51, # 53 to # 56, # 58, # 60 to # 63, # 65 to # 68), and the variable display pattern determining means determines that the winning is determined by the winning predetermining means when the revariable display pattern is determined as the variable display pattern. In this case, a variable display pattern is determined by determining a re-variable display pattern having a higher number of re-variable display executions at a higher rate than when it is determined by the prize pre-determining means that the occurrence of a winning is not permitted. In the variable display when the re-variable display pattern is determined by the means, the notice effect determining means for determining whether or not to execute the step-up notice effect performed by a plurality of notice steps as the notice effect, and the notice effect determining means When it is determined to execute the step-up notice effect, the information display device further comprises a notice effect executing means for executing a plurality of notice steps in each of the re-variable display executed in the re-variable display pattern, and the variable display executing means. Is related to the number of continuations of re-variable display when the variable display of the identification information for performance is executed by the re-variable display pattern The notice effect determining means performs the first stage in each re-variable display at a different selection ratio depending on the number of re-variable display executed with the re-variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determining means. It is characterized in that it is determined from the notice step to which one of a plurality of stages the notice step is developed.
With such a configuration, it is possible to enhance a sense of expectation for a specific gaming state in a gaming machine in which a revariable display effect is executed.

It is a block diagram which shows the circuit structural examples, such as a game control board (main board) and an effect control board, in a slot machine.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 that is an example of a gaming machine will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as seen from the front.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an outer frame (not shown) formed in a vertically long rectangular shape, and a game frame attached to the inside of the outer frame so as to be opened and closed. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape that is provided in the game frame so as to be opened and closed. The game frame includes a front frame (not shown) that can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame, a mechanism plate (not shown) to which mechanism parts and the like are attached, and various parts (games to be described later) attached to them. A structure including the board 6).

  On the lower surface of the glass door frame 2 is a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3. Under the hitting ball supply tray 3, there are provided a surplus ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the hitting ball. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  An effect display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided near the center of the game area 7. The circular display screen of the effect display device 9 includes an effect symbol display area for performing variable display of the effect symbols synchronized with the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Therefore, the effect display device 9 corresponds to a variable display device that performs variable display of effect symbols. The effect symbol display area includes a symbol display area for variably displaying, for example, three decorative (effect) effect symbols of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. The symbol display area includes “left”, “middle”, and “right” symbol display areas, but the position of the symbol display area does not have to be fixed on the display screen of the effect display device 9. Three areas of the display area may be separated. The effect display device 9 is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. When the first special symbol display 8a is executing variable display of the first special symbol, the effect control microcomputer causes the effect display device 9 to execute the effect display along with the variable display, and the second special symbol display 8a executes the second special display. When the variable display of the second special symbol is executed on the symbol display 8b, the effect display is executed by the effect display device 9 along with the variable display, so that the progress of the game can be easily grasped. .

  On the left side of the lower part of the game board 6, a first special symbol display (first variable display portion) 8a for variably displaying the first special symbol as identification information is provided. In this embodiment, the first special symbol display 8a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. In other words, the first special symbol display 8a is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9. On the lower right side of the game board 6, a second special symbol display (second variable display portion) 8b for variably displaying the second special symbol as identification information is provided. The second special symbol display 8b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. That is, the second special symbol display 8b is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9.

  The small display is formed in a square shape, for example. In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both 0 to 9), but the types may be different. Further, the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b may be configured to variably display numbers (or two-digit symbols) of, for example, 00 to 99, for example.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b are collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator (variable display unit). There are things to do.

  For the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition or the second start condition, which is the variable display execution condition, is satisfied (for example, the game ball has the first start winning opening 13 or the second start winning opening) 14), a variable display start condition (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed) , A state where the big hit game is not executed) is established, and when the variable display time elapses, a display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that winning means that a game ball has passed through a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying a display result is to stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information) (excluding stop before so-called re-variation). In this embodiment, the variable display start condition is established in the order in which the start prizes are generated regardless of the prizes in the first start prize slot 13 and the second start prize slot 14. The variable display start condition may be established by giving priority to one of winning in the winning opening 13 and winning in the second start winning opening 14. For example, when giving priority to winning in the first start winning opening 13, the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed, and the big hit game is not executed. For example, even when the second reserved memory number is not zero, the variable display of the first special symbol is continuously executed until the first reserved memory number becomes zero.

  In the vicinity of the first special symbol display 8a, during the variable display time of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display 8a, the variable display of the first decorative symbol as a decorative (design) symbol is performed. A first decorative symbol display 9a is provided. In this embodiment, the first decorative symbol display 9a is composed of two LEDs. The first decorative symbol display 9a is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. Further, in the vicinity of the second special symbol display 8b, during the variable display time of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display 8b, the variable display of the second decorative symbol as a symbol for decoration (production) is performed. There is provided a second decorative symbol display 9b. The second decorative symbol display 9b is composed of two LEDs. The second decorative symbol display 9b is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board.

  The first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be collectively referred to as a decorative symbol, and the first decorative symbol display 9a and the second decorative symbol display 9b may be collectively referred to as a decorative symbol display. .

  The variation of the decorative pattern (variable display) is realized by continuing the state where the two LEDs are alternately lit. The variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the variable display of the first decorative symbol on the first decorative symbol display 9a are synchronized. The variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b is synchronized with the variable display of the second decorative symbol on the second decorative symbol display 9b. Synchronous means that the variable display start time and end time are the same, and the variable display period is the same. In addition, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, the LED on the side that recalls the big hit on the first decorative symbol display 9a remains lit. When the big-hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the LED on the side that recalls the big-hit on the second decorative symbol display 9b remains lit. The functions of the first decorative symbol display 9a and the second decorative symbol display 9b may be realized by the effect display device 9. That is, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol may be controlled to be variably displayed as images on the display screen of the effect display device 9.

  A winning device having a first start winning port 13 is provided below the effect display device 9. The game ball won in the first start winning opening 13 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the first start opening switch 13a.

  A variable winning ball device 15 having a second starting winning port 14 through which a game ball can be won is provided below a winning device having a first starting winning port (first starting port) 13. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening (second start opening) 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 14a. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the game ball can be awarded to the second starting winning port 14 (it is easier to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 14 than the first starting winning opening 13. In addition, in a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, the game ball does not win the second start winning opening 14. Therefore, in a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, it is easier for the game ball to win the first starting winning port 13 than the second starting winning port 14. In the state where the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the closed state, it may be configured that the winning is possible (that is, it is difficult for the gaming ball to win) although it is difficult to win a prize.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14 may be collectively referred to as a start winning opening or a starting opening.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading for the variable winning ball device 15 is very likely to win the second start winning port 14.

When the open / close plate is controlled to be open by the solenoid 21 in the specific game state (big hit game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the big winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. The game ball that has won the big winning opening is detected by the count switch 23.

  The game area 6 is also provided with winning ports (ordinary winning ports) 29, 30, 33, and 39 for paying out a predetermined number of premium game balls determined in advance based on winning of the game balls. The game balls won in the winning openings 29, 30, 33, 39 are detected by the winning opening switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a.

  A normal symbol display 10 is provided on the right side of the game board 6. The normal symbol display 10 variably displays a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, variable display is performed by alternately lighting the upper and lower lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized when turned on). For example, if the lower lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. . When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. In other words, the state of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the normal symbol is a stop symbol (a state in which a game ball can be awarded at the second start winning port 14). To change. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. Each time variable display on the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of LEDs to be lit is reduced by one. Further, in the probability variation state where the probability of being determined to be a big hit as compared to the normal state is high, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the variable winning ball apparatus 15 Opening time and opening times are increased. Even in the short state (the game state in which the variable display time of the special symbol is shortened) when the symbol variation time is shortened although it is not the probability variation state, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 are increased.

  On the left and right sides of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there are provided decorative LEDs 25 that are displayed blinking during the game, and at the lower part there is an outlet 26 for taking in a hit ball that has not won. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a frame LED 28 provided on the front frame is provided.

  The members constituting the hitting ball supply tray 3 are provided with operation buttons 120 as operation means that can be operated by the player. The operation button 120 is provided with a push button switch that can be pressed by the player. The operation button 120 is provided not only with a push button switch that can be pressed by the player, but also with a dial that can be rotated by the player. The player can perform a predetermined selection (for example, selection of effects) by rotating the dial.

  In the gaming machine, a ball striking device (not shown) that drives a driving motor in response to a player operating the batting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball to the gaming area 7. ) Is provided. A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7, and then descends the game area 7. When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 and is detected by the first start opening switch 13a, if the variable display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variable display of the special symbol ends, 1), the variable display (variation) of the first special symbol is started on the first special symbol display 8a, and the variable display of the first decorative symbol is displayed on the first decorative symbol display 9a. The effect display device 9 starts variable display of effect symbols. In other words, the variable display of the first special symbol, the first decorative symbol, and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 13. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on the condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning opening 14 and is detected by the second start opening switch 14a, if the variable display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the special symbol variable display ends, 2), the second special symbol display 8b starts variable display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the second decorative symbol display 9b displays variable display of the second decorative symbol. The effect display device 9 starts variable display of effect symbols. That is, the variable display of the second special symbol, the second decorative symbol, and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 14. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  In this embodiment, when the probable big hit is made, the game state is shifted to a high probability state after the big hit game is finished, and the game ball is easily started and won (ie, the special symbol indicators 8a and 8b and the production). The display device 9 shifts to a high base state, which is a gaming state controlled so that a variable display execution condition on the display device 9 is easily established. In addition, when the gaming state is shifted to the short time state, the state is shifted to the high base state. In the high base state, for example, the frequency at which the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state is increased or the time in which the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state is extended compared to the case in which the high base state is not in the high base state. It becomes easier to win a start.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 31. FIG. 2 also shows a payout control board 37, an effect control board 80, and the like. A game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 560 for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a program is mounted on the main board 31. The game control microcomputer 560 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 56 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit 57. including. In this embodiment, the ROM 54 and the RAM 55 are built in the game control microcomputer 560. That is, the game control microcomputer 560 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to incorporate at least the CPU 56 and the RAM 55, and the ROM 54 may be external or built-in. The I / O port unit 57 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 560 further includes a random number circuit 503 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power source created on the power supply substrate 910. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 54, so that the game control microcomputer 560 (or CPU 56) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  Also, an input driver circuit for supplying detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, the count switch 23, and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a and 39a to the game control microcomputer 560. 58 is also mounted on the main board 31. The main board also includes an output circuit 59 for driving the solenoid 16 for opening and closing the variable winning ball device 15 and the solenoid 21 for opening and closing the special variable winning ball device 20 that forms a big winning opening in accordance with a command from the game control microcomputer 560. 31.

  In addition, the game control microcomputer 560 includes a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b that variably displays special symbols, a normal symbol display 10 that variably displays normal symbols, and a first special symbol hold memory. Display control of the display 18a, the second special symbol storage memory display 18b, and the normal symbol storage memory display 41 is performed.

  In this embodiment, the effect control means (configured by the effect control microcomputer) mounted on the effect control board 80 instructs the effect contents from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77. Upon receiving the effect control command, display control is performed on the first decorative symbol display device 9a and the second decorative symbol display device 9b that variably display the decorative symbol, and the effect display device 9 that variably displays the effect symbol.

  In addition, the effect control means mounted on the effect control board 80 controls the display of the decoration LED 25 provided on the game board and the frame LED 28 provided on the frame side via the lamp driver board 35. The sound output from the speaker 27 is controlled via the sound output board 70.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit configuration example of the relay board 77, the effect control board 80, the lamp driver board 35, and the audio output board 70. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70 are not equipped with a microcomputer, but may be equipped with a microcomputer. Further, without providing the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70, only the effect control board 80 may be provided for effect control.

  The effect control board 80 includes an effect control CPU 101 and an effect control microcomputer 100 including a RAM for storing information related to effects such as effect symbol process flags. The RAM may be externally attached. In this embodiment, the RAM in the production control microcomputer 100 is not backed up. In the effect control board 80, the effect control CPU 101 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives a capture signal from the main board 31 input via the relay board 77 ( In response to the (effect control INT signal), an effect control command is received via the input driver 102 and the input port 103. Further, the effect control CPU 101 causes the VDP (video display processor) 109 to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  In this embodiment, a VDP 109 that performs display control of the effect display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100 is mounted on the effect control board 80. The VDP 109 has an address space independent of the production control microcomputer 100, and maps a VRAM therein. VRAM is a buffer memory for developing image data. Then, the VDP 109 outputs the image data in the VRAM to the effect display device 9 via the frame memory.

  The effect control CPU 101 outputs to the VDP 109 a command for reading out necessary data from a CGROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The CGROM stores character image data and moving image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols (including effect symbols), and background image data in advance. ROM. The VDP 109 reads image data from the CGROM in response to the instruction from the effect control CPU 101. The VDP 109 executes display control based on the read image data.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver 102 on the effect control board 80. The input driver 102 passes the signal input from the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a regulating means.

  As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). The unidirectional circuit 74 is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. FIG. 3 illustrates a diode. A unidirectional circuit is provided for each signal. Furthermore, since the effect control command and the effect control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the output port 571 that is a unidirectional circuit, the signal from the relay board 77 toward the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 560 side). The output port 571 is a part of the I / O port unit 57 shown in FIG. Further, a signal driver circuit that is a unidirectional circuit may be further provided outside the output port 571 (on the relay board 77 side).

  The effect control CPU 101 drives the motor 86 to operate the movable member 78 via the output port 106. Further, the effect control CPU 101 drives a motor 87 for operating the effect blades 79 a and 79 b via the output port 106.

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 inputs a signal from the operation button 120 via the input port 107 in response to a pressing operation of the operation button 120 by the player.

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 outputs a signal for driving the LED to the lamp driver board 35 via the output port 105. Further, the production control CPU 101 outputs sound number data to the audio output board 70 via the output port 104.

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver 352 via the input driver 351. The LED driver 352 supplies a current to a light emitter provided on the frame side such as the frame LED 28 based on a signal for driving the LED. Further, an electric current is supplied to the decoration LED 25 provided on the game board side.

  In the voice output board 70, the sound number data is input to the voice synthesis IC 703 via the input driver 702. The voice synthesizing IC 703 generates voice or sound effect according to the sound number data, and outputs it to the amplifier circuit 705. The amplification circuit 705 outputs an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the speech synthesis IC 703 to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume 706 to the speaker 27. The voice data ROM 704 stores control data corresponding to the sound number data. The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

  Next, the operation of the gaming machine will be described. First, the operation of the game control means will be described. The game control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) has a game ball in the first start port switch 13 a or the second start winning port 14 for detecting that a game ball has won the first start winning port 13. If the second start port switch 14a for detecting that a winning has been turned on, that is, if a start winning has occurred, start port switch passing processing is executed.

  In the start port switch passing process, if the first start port switch 13a is turned on, the CPU 56 sets the first reserved memory number on condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value (for example, 4). The value of the first reserved memory number counter for counting is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 56 corresponds to the value of the total reserved memory number counter in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area) for storing the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14. Data indicating “first” is set in the area. Then, the CPU 56 performs processing for extracting values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers, and storing them in a storage area in the first reserved storage buffer. In this case, a jackpot determination random number (assumed to be a hardware random number, which may be a software random number) used for determining whether to win or not, or a jackpot type used to determine the jackpot type A random number for determining a variation pattern for determining the variation pattern of the effect symbol is extracted from the random number for determination, the variation pattern type determining random number for determining the variation pattern type of the effect symbol, and the variation pattern type. Store in the save area in the storage buffer. Further, the CPU 56 increments the value of the total reserved pending memory number counter for counting the total reserved memory number obtained by adding up the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number. Then, based on the value of the total pending memory number counter, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a total pending memory number designation command indicating the total pending memory number to the effect control microcomputer 100.

  If the second start port switch 14a is turned on, the CPU 56 counts the second reserved memory number on the condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value (for example, 4). The value of the second reserved memory number counter is incremented by one. Further, the CPU 56 sets data indicating “second” in an area corresponding to the value of the total reserved memory number counter in the reserved specific area. Then, the CPU 56 executes processing for extracting values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers and storing them in a storage area in the second reserved storage buffer. In this case, the jackpot determining random number, the jackpot type determining random number, the variation pattern type determining random number, and the variation pattern determining random number are extracted and stored in the storage area in the second reserved storage buffer. Further, the CPU 56 increments the value of the total pending / holding memory number counter by one. Then, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a total pending storage number designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the value of the total pending storage number counter.

  In addition, the game control microcomputer 560 (specifically, the CPU 56) has a reserved memory (the value of the total number of reserved memories is not 0), and can start the variation of the special symbols (the first special symbol and the first special symbol). If any variation display of the second special symbol is not being executed and the game state is not a big hit game state), the first special winning slot 13 and the second starting winning slot 14 according to the winning order in the first special winning slot 13 A process for starting the variation of the symbol or the second special symbol is performed. In this embodiment, there is shown a case where the presence / absence of reserved memory is determined based on whether or not the value of the total reserved memory number is 0. However, the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number Whether or not both values are 0 may be determined.

  If there is a reserved memory and the special symbol can be changed, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the first data among the data set in the reserved specific area is data indicating “first”. To do. If it is data indicating “first”, processing for starting the variable display of the first special symbol is performed. On the other hand, if it is not data indicating “first” (that is, if it is data indicating “second”), the process of starting the variable display of the second special symbol is performed.

  In this embodiment, a case is shown in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are displayed in the order of winning in the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14. One of the special symbols may be displayed with priority. For example, if there is a second reserved memory, the variable display of the second special symbol may be preferentially executed regardless of the start winning order.

  First, the CPU 56 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number = 1 of the reserved storage buffer that starts the variable symbol display of the special symbol, and stores it in the random number buffer area of the RAM 55. Specifically, when starting the variable display of the first special symbol, the CPU 56 reads each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = 1 in the first reserved memory buffer and reads the RAM 55. Stored in the random number buffer area. Further, when starting the variable display of the second special symbol, the CPU 56 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = 1 in the second reserved memory buffer, and the random number buffer of the RAM 55 Store in the area.

  Then, the CPU 56 subtracts 1 from the count value of the reserved storage number counter that starts the variable symbol display, and shifts the contents of each storage area. Specifically, when starting the variable display of the first special symbol, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 and shifts the contents of each storage area in the first reserved memory buffer. . Further, when starting the variable display of the second special symbol, the count value of the second reserved memory number counter is decremented by 1, and the contents of each storage area in the second reserved memory buffer are shifted.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads the jackpot determination random number from the random number buffer area and executes the jackpot determination module. The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a jackpot determination value determined in advance with a jackpot determination random number, and executes a process of determining a jackpot if they match. In other words, this is a program for executing the big hit determination process.

  In the big hit determination process, when the gaming state is a probable change state (high probability state), the probability of a big hit is higher than when the gaming state is a non-probable change state (normal game state and short time state) (for example, The probability of jackpot is 10% higher). Specifically, there are provided a probabilistic jackpot determination table in which a large number of jackpot determination values are set in advance and a normal jackpot determination table in which the number of jackpot determination values is set smaller than that in the probabilistic jackpot determination table. ing. Then, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation state. If the gaming state is a probability variation state, the jackpot determination process is performed using the probability variation jackpot determination table, and the gaming state is normal. When in the gaming state, the big hit determination process is performed using the normal big hit determination table. Note that deciding whether to win or not is to decide whether or not to shift to the big hit gaming state, but to decide whether or not to stop the special symbol display as a big hit symbol. But there is.

  Note that whether or not the current gaming state is the probability variation state is determined by whether or not the probability variation flag is set. The probability variation flag is set when the gaming state is shifted to the probability variation state, and is reset when the probability variation state is terminated. Specifically, the probability variation flag is determined to be a probability variation jackpot or a sudden probability variation jackpot, and is set in a process of ending the jackpot game. Further, the probability variation flag is usually determined to be a big hit, and is reset in the process of ending the big hit game.

  When it is determined to be a big hit, the CPU 56 further reads out the big hit type determination random number from the random number buffer area, and determines the big hit type using the big hit type determination table for determining the big hit type. In this embodiment, in the jackpot type determination table, as the jackpot type, “15 round normal big hit”, “15 round probability variable big hit”, 15 round probability variable big hit (with jackpot middle promotion) and “sudden probability big hit” It is assumed that a determination value is assigned to each.

  Note that “15 round probability variation jackpot” is a jackpot symbol of the probability variation symbol as a result of the variation display of the effect symbol (the symbols in the state where the middle left and right of the effect symbol are reminiscent of the probability variation (for example, the same odd number symbol)) Is a big hit in which the game state is shifted to the promiscuous state (high probability state) after the big hit game is completed. In addition, “15 rounds probable big hit (with promotion during jackpot)” means a big hit symbol of a non-probable variable as a result of a change display of a staging pattern (a symbol in which the left middle right of the directing symbol recalls non-probable change (for example, the same even number symbol) ) Are displayed in a stopped state, then moved to the 15-round jackpot game state, and a probable change promotion effect that is promoted to a promiscuous state during the jackpot game is executed. This is a big hit that shifts the state to a probabilistic state (high probability state). In addition, “15 round normal big hit” means that after the big hit symbol of the non-probability variable symbol is stopped and displayed as a result of the change display of the production symbol, the game state is changed to the promising state after the big hit game is finished. (It may be shifted to the short time state until the special symbol variation display is completed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times)).

  In addition, “suddenly probable big hit” is a two-round big hit game state after a predetermined sudden probable big hit symbol (for example, a combination of chance symbol symbols such as “135”) is stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the production symbol. It is a big hit that shifts the gaming state to the probable change state after the big hit game is over. In the case of a “suddenly promising big hit”, by opening the big winning opening for a short time (eg, 0.5 seconds) for a small number of times (eg, 2 rounds) during the big hit game, the habit also suddenly changed to the probable state. A production like that is executed. When “suddenly promising big hit” is also determined as the big hit type, in addition to the big hit determination, a small hit determination for determining whether or not to make a small hit may be performed. When it is determined that the game is a small hit, after the same symbol as the sudden probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the production symbol, the two rounds of the small hit state (same number of times as short as the sudden probability variable big hit state is short) The game state may not be shifted to the probable state after the small hit game ends. With such a configuration, even when an effect similar to the probability variation big hit is suddenly executed, it is possible to provide a case where the transition to the probability variation state and a case where the transition is not performed, and to improve the interest for the game. it can.

  In addition, separate jackpot type determination tables may be used when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed and when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed. In this case, the determination of the jackpot type is made when the jackpot type is determined using the jackpot type determination table for the first special symbol and when the jackpot type is determined using the jackpot type determination table for the second special symbol. The determination values in the jackpot type determination table may be assigned in advance so that the ratios are different. For example, in the case where the variation display of the second special symbol is performed as compared with the case where the variation display of the first special symbol is performed, the determination in the jackpot type determination table is made so that the ratio determined as the sudden probability variation big hit becomes lower. A value may be assigned.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs a process of determining the effect pattern variation pattern. First, a process for determining a variation pattern when the variation display result is determined to be “out” will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a variation pattern used when the variation display result is determined to be “out”. In this embodiment, when it is determined that it is out of place, the CPU 56 determines the variation pattern of the effect symbol by a two-stage lottery process. That is, the CPU 56 first determines the variation pattern type using the variation pattern type determination random number. Then, the CPU 56 further determines a variation pattern included in the determined variation pattern type using the variation pattern determination random number.

  When the variation display result is determined to be “out”, it may be first determined whether or not to reach by a lottery process using a reach determination random number. In this case, a variation pattern type group including a variation pattern with reach and a variation pattern type group including a variation pattern without reach are prepared in advance, the determination result as to whether or not to reach, and the variation pattern type determination The variation pattern type may be determined based on the random number for use. Then, finally, any variation pattern included in the determined variation pattern type may be determined using a variation pattern determination random number.

  The variation pattern type is a group of a plurality of variation patterns according to the characteristics of the variation mode. For example, a plurality of variation patterns are grouped by reach type, and include a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with normal reach, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach A, and a variation pattern with super reach B. It may be divided into variable pattern types. Further, for example, a plurality of variation patterns are grouped by the number of re-variations of pseudo-continuations, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern without pseudo-reams, a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of less than two re-variations, It may be divided into a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of three re-variations and a variation pattern type including a variation pattern of four re-variations. Further, for example, a plurality of variation patterns may be grouped according to the presence / absence of a specific effect such as a pseudo ream or a slip effect.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern type determination random number to determine one of the variation pattern types from among the variation pattern type # 1 to the variation pattern type # 7.

  The variation pattern type # 1 is a variation pattern type including only a variation pattern of normal variation. The “normal fluctuation” refers to a fluctuation that does not perform a specific effect such as a reach effect, a pseudo-ream, or a slip effect, only by displaying a change display of the left middle right effect symbol. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the variation pattern type # 1 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern determination random number to change the variation pattern # 1 included in the variation pattern type # 1 or It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 2. The variation pattern # 1 is a variation pattern in which the symbol is stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol after the normal variation 1. The variation pattern # 2 is a variation pattern in which the symbol is stopped and displayed as a final stop symbol of the effect symbol after the normal variation 2 different from the normal variation 1. For example, the normal variation 1 and the normal variation 2 differ in the variation time of the effect symbol.

  The variation pattern type # 2 is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with a special effect such as a pseudo ream, although it does not have a reach effect. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the change pattern type # 2 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the change pattern determination random number to change the change patterns # 3 to # 3 included in the change pattern type # 2. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 5. In variation pattern # 3, after the normal variation (either normal variation 1 or normal variation 2), the same symbol (eg, a combination of symbols such as “135”) is suddenly displayed as the final stop symbol of the production symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern. In other words, it is a variation pattern for performing an effect as if the kite suddenly became a probable big hit despite being out of place. The variation pattern # 4 is a variation pattern in which a pseudo-ream with one re-variation is executed, and the final symbol of the effect design is stopped and displayed as a final stop symbol without a reach effect in the final variation of the pseudo-ream. The variation pattern # 5 is a variation pattern in which a pseudo-ream with two re-variations is executed, and the final symbol of the effect design is stopped and displayed as a final stop symbol without a reach effect in the final variation of the pseudo-ream.

  The “pseudo sequence” is a temporary stop symbol (for example, “224”, “335”, etc.) that becomes a temporary stop symbol until the display result is derived and displayed after the variable display of the effect symbol is started. This is an effect in which a re-variation in which the variable display of the effect symbol is executed again is executed once or a plurality of times after the chance symbol) is temporarily stopped.

  The variation pattern type # 3 is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with normal reach. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the change pattern type # 3 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the change pattern determination random number to change the change patterns # 6 to # 3 included in the change pattern type # 3. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 8. The variation pattern # 6 is a variation pattern in which after the normal reach is executed, the middle effect symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol two symbols before the jackpot symbol. For example, when the same 7 is stopped and displayed as the left and right effect symbols to reach the reach state, and the inside effect symbols are changed in the order of 1 → 2 → 3. As a final stop symbol, the off symbol “757” is stopped and displayed. The variation pattern # 7 is a variation pattern in which, after the normal reach is executed, the middle effect design is finally stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol. For example, when the left and right effect symbols 7 are stopped and displayed to reach a reach state, and the effect symbols in the middle are changed in the order of 1 → 2 → 3. As a final stop symbol, the symbol “767” is stopped and displayed. The variation pattern # 8 is a variation pattern in which after the normal reach is executed, the final effect symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol that is one more than the symbol that becomes the big hit symbol. For example, when the left and right effect symbols 7 are stopped and displayed in a reach state, and the effect symbols in the middle are changed in the order of 1 → 2 → 3. As a final stop symbol, the off symbol “787” is stopped and displayed.

  The variation pattern type # 4 is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the change pattern type # 4 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the change pattern determination random number to change the change patterns # 9 to # 4 included in the change pattern type # 4. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 14. The variation pattern # 9 is a variation pattern in which after the Super Reach A is executed, the effect design in the middle is finally stopped and displayed at the two preceding symbols that become the big hit symbol. The variation pattern # 10 is a variation pattern in which after the Super Reach A is executed, the effect design in the middle is finally stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol. The variation pattern # 11 is a variation pattern in which after the super reach A is executed, the final effect symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol that is one more than the symbol that becomes the big hit symbol. The variation pattern # 12 is a variation pattern in which, after executing Super Reach B, which is different from Super Reach A, the final effect symbol is stopped and displayed at the two preceding symbols that are the big hit symbols. The variation pattern # 13 is a variation pattern in which after the super reach B is executed, the middle effect symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol one symbol before the big hit symbol. The variation pattern # 14 is a variation pattern in which after the super reach B is executed, the middle effect effect symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol that is one more than the symbol that becomes the big hit symbol.

  Variation patterns # 5 to # 7 are variation pattern types including variation patterns with super reach and pseudo-ream, and are classified into variation patterns # 5 to # 7 according to the number of re-variations in the pseudo-ream. In this embodiment, variation pattern types including variation patterns with super reach are classified into variation patterns # 4 to # 7 according to the presence / absence of pseudo-continuations and the number of re-variations in the pseudo-continuations. The method of classifying the variation pattern types is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, the variation pattern type may be classified according to the type of super reach regardless of the presence or absence of pseudo-continuations and the number of re-variations. In this case, for example, regardless of the presence or absence of pseudo-reams and the number of re-variations, classification may be made into a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach A and a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach B. Good.

  The variation pattern type # 5 is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach and one re-variation pseudo-continuity. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the change pattern type # 5 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the change pattern determination random number to change the change patterns # 15 to # 5 included in the change pattern type # 5. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 20. In the variation pattern # 15, after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing the super-reach A with the re-variation, finally the production effect symbol in the middle is stopped and displayed at the symbol two symbols before the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. In the variation pattern # 16, after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach A with the re-variation, finally the production effect symbol in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. Fluctuation pattern # 17 is a design in which one re-variation pseudo-run is executed, and after super-reach A is executed by the re-variation, the effect design in the final is one more than the symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern for stop display. In the variation pattern # 18, after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-ream and executing the super-reach B by the re-variation, the effect design in the middle is finally stopped and displayed with the symbol two symbols before the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. In the variation pattern # 19, after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-ream and executing the super-reach B by the re-variation, finally the production effect in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. Fluctuation pattern # 20 is a design in which one re-variation pseudo-run is executed, and after super-reach B is executed by the re-variation, the effect design in the final is one more than the symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern for stop display.

  The variation pattern type # 6 is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach and two re-variations pseudo-continuations. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the variation pattern type # 6 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern determination random number to change the variation patterns # 21 to # 21 included in the variation pattern type # 6. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 26. In the variation pattern # 21, after performing the re-variation twice and executing the super-reach A with the final variation, finally, the effect design in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol in front of the two that will be the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. For variation pattern # 22, after executing the re-variation two times of quasi-continuation and executing Super Reach A with the final variation, finally, the effect design in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol It is a fluctuation pattern. Fluctuation pattern # 23 is a design in which the re-variation is executed twice, and after Super Reach A is executed with the final variation, the final production design is one more than the symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern for stop display. For variation pattern # 24, after executing re-variation twice, and after executing Super Reach B with the final variation, finally, the effect design in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol in front of the two winning symbols. It is a fluctuation pattern. For variation pattern # 25, after performing re-variation twice and executing Super Reach B with the final variation, the effect design in the middle is finally stopped and displayed at the one-preceding symbol that becomes the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. Fluctuation pattern # 26 is a design in which the re-variation two-time quasi-continuation is executed, and after Super Reach B is executed with the final variation, finally the production design in the middle is one more than the symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern for stop display.

  The variation pattern type # 7 is a variation pattern type including a variation pattern with super reach and three re-variations pseudo-continuations. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the change pattern type # 7 is determined, the CPU 56 uses the change pattern determination random number to change the change patterns # 27 to # 7 included in the change pattern type # 7. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns # 32. In the variation pattern # 27, after executing the re-variation three times and executing the super-reach A with the final variation, the effect pattern in the middle is finally stopped and displayed at the two preceding symbols that become the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. For the variation pattern # 28, after executing the re-variation three times, and after executing the super reach A with the final variation, finally the production symbol in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. Fluctuation pattern # 29 is a design in which the re-variation is executed three times, and after Super Reach A is executed with the final variation, the final production symbol is one more than the symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern for stop display. For variation pattern # 30, after executing three re-variation pseudo-reams and executing Super Reach B with the final variation, finally, the middle production symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol two symbols before the big hit symbol It is a fluctuation pattern. In the variation pattern # 31, after performing the re-variation three times, and after executing the super reach B with the final variation, finally the production symbol in the middle is stopped and displayed with the symbol immediately before becoming the big hit symbol. It is a fluctuation pattern. Fluctuation pattern # 32 is a design in which the re-variation is executed three times, and after super-reach B is executed with the final variation, the effect design in the final is one more than the symbol that becomes the jackpot symbol. This is a fluctuation pattern for stop display.

  Next, processing for determining a variation pattern when the variation display result is determined to be “big hit” will be described. 5 and 6 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of the variation pattern used when the variation display result is determined to be “big hit”. In this embodiment, when it is determined that the jackpot, the CPU 56 determines any one of the variation patterns using the variation pattern determination random number from among the variation patterns assigned according to the jackpot type.

  Even if the variation display result is determined to be “big hit”, each variation pattern is grouped into variation pattern types in the same manner as when the variation display result is determined to be “out of place”. You may make it determine the variation pattern of an effect design by a process. In this case, the CPU 56 first determines the variation pattern type using the variation pattern type determination random number, similarly to the case where the variation display result is determined to be “out”. Then, the CPU 56 further determines a variation pattern included in the determined variation pattern type using the variation pattern determination random number.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, when the big hit type is determined to be “15 round probability variable big hit”, the CPU 56 uses the fluctuation pattern determining random number to change the fluctuation pattern # 33 to the fluctuation pattern # 44. It is decided to use any one of the fluctuation patterns. The variation pattern # 33 is a variation pattern that finally stops and displays the jackpot symbol after executing the normal reach. The variation pattern # 34 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the quasi-continuation three times of re-variation and executing normal reach with the final variation. The variation pattern # 35 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after the super reach A is executed. The fluctuation pattern # 36 is a fluctuation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach A with the re-variation. The variation pattern # 37 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation two-time pseudo-continuation and executing the super reach A with the final variation. The variation pattern # 38 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation three times and executing the super reach A with the final variation. The variation pattern # 39 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed after the re-variation four times of the quasi-continuation is executed and the super reach A is executed with the final variation. The variation pattern # 40 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped after the super reach B is executed. Fluctuation pattern # 41 is a variation pattern in which a jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed after executing a re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing super reach B with the re-variation. Fluctuation pattern # 42 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation twice and executing Super Reach B with the final variation.

The variation pattern # 44 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation four times and executing the super reach B with the final variation.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the big hit type is determined to be “15 rounds probable change big hit (with jackpot middle promotion)”, the CPU 56 uses the fluctuation pattern determination random number to change the fluctuation pattern # 45 to the fluctuation pattern. It is decided to use any variation pattern of # 56. The variation pattern # 45 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after the normal reach is executed. The variation pattern # 46 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the pseudo-ream 4 times and performing normal reach with the final variation. The variation pattern # 47 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped after the super reach A is executed. Fluctuation pattern # 48 is a variation pattern in which a jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing a re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing super reach A with the re-variation. The fluctuation pattern # 49 is a fluctuation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation two-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach A with the final fluctuation. The variation pattern # 50 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation three times and executing Super Reach A with the final variation. The variation pattern # 51 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation four times of the pseudo-continuation and executing the super reach A with the final variation. The variation pattern # 52 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped after the super reach B is executed. The variation pattern # 53 is a variation pattern in which a jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach B by the re-variation. The fluctuation pattern # 54 is a fluctuation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation two-time pseudo-continuation and executing the super reach B with the final fluctuation. Fluctuation pattern # 55 is a variation pattern in which a jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after the re-variation three times of quasi-continuations are executed and the super reach B is executed with the final variation. The variation pattern # 56 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation four times and executing the super reach B with the final variation.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the big hit type is determined to be “15 round normal big hit”, the CPU 56 uses any one of the fluctuation patterns # 57 to # 68 using the fluctuation pattern determination random number. Decide to use a variation pattern. The variation pattern # 57 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after the normal reach is executed. The variation pattern # 58 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation four-time pseudo-continuation and executing the normal reach with the final variation. The variation pattern # 59 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after the super reach A is executed. The variation pattern # 60 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach A with the re-variation. The fluctuation pattern # 61 is a fluctuation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation two-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach A with the final fluctuation. The variation pattern # 62 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation three times and executing Super Reach A with the final variation. The variation pattern # 63 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation four-time pseudo-continuation and executing the super reach A with the final variation. The variation pattern # 64 is a variation pattern that finally stops and displays the jackpot symbol after the super reach B is executed. The fluctuation pattern # 65 is a fluctuation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation one-time quasi-continuation and executing the super reach B by the re-variation. The fluctuation pattern # 66 is a fluctuation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the re-variation twice and executing Super Reach B with the final fluctuation. The variation pattern # 67 is a variation pattern in which the jackpot symbol is finally stopped and displayed after executing the quasi-continuous three times of re-variation and executing the super reach B with the final variation. The variation pattern # 68 is a variation pattern in which the big hit symbol is finally stopped after executing the re-variation four times of pseudo-continuation and executing the super reach B with the final variation.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the big hit type is determined to be “suddenly promising big hit”, the CPU 56 uses the fluctuation pattern determination random number to change either the fluctuation pattern # 69 or the fluctuation pattern # 70. Decide to use a pattern. The variation pattern # 69 is a variation in which a sudden probability variation big hit symbol 1 (for example, a combination of symbols such as “135”) is stopped and displayed as a final stop symbol of the production symbol after a normal variation (normal variation 1 or normal variation 2). It is a pattern. The variation pattern # 70 is a variation pattern that stops and displays a sudden probability variation big hit symbol 2 (for example, a combination of symbols such as “357”) different from the sudden probability variation big hit symbol 1 as a final stop symbol of the production symbol after a normal variation. is there.

  In this embodiment, when a pseudo-series effect is performed during the variation display of the effect symbol, the variation pattern is determined so that the expectation (reliability) for the big hit increases as the number of re-variations increases. The

  The “expected degree (reliability) for the big hit” indicates an appearance rate (probability) that a big hit appears when a specific effect such as reach or pseudo-ream is executed. For example, the degree of expectation for a big hit when a specific effect such as reach or pseudo-ream is executed is (a ratio determined when a specific effect such as reach or pseudo-ream is executed when it is determined as a big win) / (big hit And a ratio determined to execute a specific effect such as reach or pseudo-ream in both of the case where it is determined and the case where it is determined to be lost.

  For example, when a variation pattern type is determined when the variation display result is determined to be “out of”, a variation pattern type determination table in which determination values are assigned to the variation pattern types # 1 to # 7 in advance is used. The change pattern type is determined based on the value of the change pattern type determination random number. In this embodiment, the variation pattern type with a large number of re-variations of the pseudo-series has a smaller determination value (the selection ratio is smaller) than the variation pattern type with a small number of re-variations of the pseudo-series. Since the variation pattern type determination table is set, the expectation level (reliability) for the big hit increases as the number of revariations increases. For example, the variation pattern type # 7 has a lower selection ratio than the variation pattern type # 6, the variation pattern type # 6 has a lower selection ratio than the variation pattern type # 5, and the variation pattern type # 5 is different from the variation pattern type # 4. Also, the selection ratio is set to be low.

  Further, for example, when the variation pattern is determined when the variation display result is determined to be “big hit”, a variation pattern determination table (preliminarily allocated with determination values for each variation pattern # 33 to # 70). The fluctuation pattern is determined based on the value of the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern. In this embodiment, a variation pattern with a large number of re-variations in a pseudo-series has a larger number of assigned determination values (a selection ratio becomes higher) than a variation pattern with a small number of re-variations in a pseudo-series. As described above, since the variation pattern determination table is set, the expectation level (reliability) for the big hit is set higher as the number of revariations increases. For example, variation patterns # 39, # 44, # 46, # 51, # 56, # 58, # 63, and # 68 with four re-variations pseudo-continuations are variation patterns # 34 with three re-variations pseudo-continuations. , # 38, # 43, # 50, # 55, # 62, # 67, the selection ratio is higher, and variation patterns # 34, # 38, # 43, # 50, # 55 accompanied by three re-variation pseudo-continuations , # 62, and # 67 have a higher selection ratio than the variation patterns # 37, # 42, # 49, # 54, # 61, and # 66 with two re-variation pseudo-continuations, The accompanying variation patterns # 37, # 42, # 49, # 54, # 61, # 66 are derived from the variation patterns # 36, # 41, # 48, # 53, # 60, # 65 accompanied by one re-variation pseudo-continuity. Also, the selection ratio is set to be high.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, in this embodiment, only when it is determined that the jackpot is a fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern # 39 shown in FIGS. , # 44, # 46, # 51, # 56, # 58, # 63, # 68) may be determined (i.e., as shown in FIG. Also, only three re-variations are performed). Therefore, in the case where a pseudo-rendition effect is performed during the variation display of the effect symbol, and when the fourth re-variation is performed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the big hit has been confirmed. Therefore, interest can be given to the number of re-variations in the pseudo-ream, and the interest in games can be improved.

  In addition to confirming that it will be a big hit according to the number of re-variations, it may be further determined that it will be a promising big hit according to the number of re-variations. In this case, for example, in FIG. 5, when the big hit type is a 15 round probability variation big hit, a variation pattern accompanied by five revariations may be further included (that is, a 15 round probability variation big hit). Only in this case, a variation pattern with five revariations may be selected). By doing so, when a pseudo-ream effect is performed during the change display of the effect symbol, and when the fifth re-change is performed, the big hit is confirmed and the transition to the probability change state is confirmed. The player can be made aware of what to do. Therefore, further interest can be given to the number of re-variations in the pseudo-ream, and the interest in games can be improved.

  It should be noted that, regardless of the type of big hit, the variation pattern with the re-variation 5 pseudo-continuations is determined, and conversely, the variation pattern with the re-variation 4-times pseudo-continuations is the 15 round probability variation big hit. It may be determined only in cases. By doing so, if a pseudo-series effect is being performed during the change display of the effect symbol, the process shifts to the fourth re-variation, and if it is stopped at the fourth re-change as it is (the fifth re-change). (If it is stopped without shifting to the fluctuation), the big hit is confirmed and the transition to the probability variation state is confirmed. It is possible to make the player expect the display to be terminated. On the other hand, even if the transition to the fifth re-variation is made, the player can recognize that the transition to the probability variation state has not been confirmed but it has been confirmed that it will be at least a big hit. Interest can be improved.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern is determined so that the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big hit differs depending on the type of reach. Specifically, when the super reach B is executed during the variable display, the expectation for the big hit is higher than when the super reach A is executed, and when the super reach A is executed, the expectation for the big reach is higher than when the normal reach is executed. The variation pattern is determined such that the degree of expectation for the big hit is high.

  For example, when the fluctuation pattern type is determined when the fluctuation display result is determined to be “out of”, the fluctuation pattern type with super reach (variation patterns # 4 to # 7) is the fluctuation pattern type with normal reach. When super reach is executed by setting the variation pattern type determination table so that the assigned determination value is smaller than # 3 (so that the selection ratio is low), The expectation level (reliability) for the big hit is set to be higher than when normal reach is executed.

  Further, for example, when a variation pattern is determined when the variation display result is determined to be “out of range”, a variation pattern determination table (preliminarily assigned a determination value to each variation pattern # 1 to # 32). Are prepared for each variation pattern type), and the variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. In this embodiment, the fluctuation pattern with super reach B (fluctuation patterns # 12 to # 14, # 18 to # 20, # 24 to # 26, # 30 to # 32) has a fluctuation with super reach A. The determination value assigned is smaller than the patterns (variation patterns # 9 to # 11, # 15 to # 17, # 21 to # 23, # 27 to # 29) (the selection ratio is reduced). ) By setting the variation pattern determination table, when super reach B is executed, the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big hit is higher than when super reach A is executed. Is set to

  Further, for example, when the variation pattern is determined when the variation display result is determined to be “big hit”, the variation pattern with the super reach B (variation patterns # 40 to # 44, # 52 to # 56, # 64 to # 68) has more assigned determination values than the variation pattern with super reach A (variation patterns # 35 to # 39, # 47 to # 51, # 59 to # 63) ( When the super reach B is executed by setting the variation pattern determination table so that the selection ratio is increased), the degree of expectation for the big hit compared to the case where the super reach A is executed (Reliability) is set to be high.

  Further, for example, when the variation pattern is determined when the variation display result is determined to be “big hit”, the variation pattern with the super reach A (variation patterns # 35 to # 39, # 47 to # 51, # 59 to # 63) has a larger determination value (selection ratio) than the variation pattern with normal reach (variation patterns # 33, # 34, # 45, # 46, # 57, # 58). When the super reach A is executed by setting the variation pattern determination table, the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big hit compared to the case where the normal reach is executed. Is set to be high.

  Further, in this embodiment, the CPU 56 determines the variation pattern so that the distribution of the reach type differs according to the number of re-variations when the pseudo-series effect is executed during the variation display of the effect symbol. . For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the fluctuation display result is determined to be “out of”, the fluctuation with normal reach is performed only when the pseudo-run is not executed (in other words, when there are zero re-variations). A pattern may be determined (see variation pattern type # 3 in FIG. 4). Also, for example, when the variation display result is determined to be “out of”, the variation pattern determination table is set so that the selection ratio of super reach A increases as the number of revariations increases in FIG. Has been. For example, in FIG. 4, when the variation pattern type # 4 without pseudo-continuation (in other words, zero re-variation) is determined, the selection ratio of the variation patterns # 9 to # 11 with super reach A, the super When the selection ratios of the variation patterns # 12 to # 14 with reach B are set to 50% each, and when the variation pattern type # 5 for one re-variation is determined, super reach A is included The selection ratio of the fluctuation patterns # 15 to # 17 is set to 60%, and the selection ratio of the fluctuation patterns # 18 to # 20 with super reach B is set to 40%. Is determined, the selection ratio of the fluctuation patterns # 21 to # 23 with super reach A is 70%, and the fluctuation pattern with super reach B is selected. When the selection ratio of # 24 to # 26 is set to 30% and the variation pattern type # 7 is determined three times again, the variation pattern # 27 to # 29 with super reach A is selected. The ratio is set to 80%, and the selection ratio of the variation patterns # 30 to # 32 with super reach B is set to 20%.

  Note that the method of differentiating the reach type according to the number of re-variations is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, a specific type of reach effect may be executed only when a specific re-variation number of pseudo-reams are executed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the fluctuation pattern type # 7 with three re-variation pseudo-continuations includes a fluctuation pattern with a super reach C that differs from the super reach A and B in the production mode. A variation pattern determination table corresponding to the pattern type # 7 may be configured. With such a configuration, it is possible to execute the super reach C only when the re-variation three-time pseudo-ream is executed.

  In addition, the method of classifying the variation pattern types shown in this embodiment is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, the variation pattern types are grouped by a variation pattern including other effects or combinations of multiple effects. You may classify. For example, when a reach effect that displays a video of a story such as a TV drama that is being reached (for example, it is displayed until the end of the story if it is a big hit), a variation pattern that accompanies such reach effect May be collected as one variation pattern type. In addition, for example, variation patterns combining a plurality of reach effects may be grouped and classified, or variation patterns combining a reach effect and a specific effect may be grouped and classified. For example, a variation pattern that develops to super reach B after super reach A may be collected as one variation pattern type, or a variation pattern that develops to super reach after a slide effect may be collected as one variation pattern type.

  Then, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a variation pattern command capable of specifying the determined variation pattern to the production control microcomputer 100, sets the variation time in a variation time timer for measuring the variation time, The change of the symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) is started. In addition, the CPU 56 uses a display result command that can specify the determined fluctuation display result (disconnected, 15 round probability variation big hit, 15 land probability variation big hit (with big hit middle promotion), 15 round normal big hit, sudden probability variation big hit) for effect control. Control to transmit to the microcomputer 100 is performed.

  Thereafter, when the variation time ends (when the variation time timer times out), the CPU 56 terminates the variation of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), and the first special symbol indicator 8a or the second special symbol. Control for deriving and displaying the stop symbol on the display 8b is performed. In addition, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit to the microcomputer 100 for effect control, a symbol confirmation designation command for ending the variation display of the effect symbol and designating the fixed display of the stop symbol. And when it is determined that it is a big hit, it shifts to a big hit gaming state in which the big winning opening is opened for a predetermined round (2 rounds or 15 rounds).

  Next, the operation of the effect control means will be described. When the production control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the production control CPU 101) receives the variation pattern command from the game control microcomputer 560, the production display device 9 performs a process for starting the variation display of the production symbol. Run.

  First, when receiving the display result command, the production control CPU 101 reads the EXT data of the received display result command, and the designated display result is “out of”, “normal big hit”, “15 round probability big hit”, It is determined whether it is “15 rounds probable big hit (with a middle jackpot promotion)” or “suddenly probable big hit”.

  When the fluctuation display result is “15 round probability variation big hit”, the effect control CPU 56 uses the jackpot symbol determination random number as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol based on the big hit symbol (for example, left middle right). The combination of symbols in which the production symbols are the same odd number symbols) is determined. In this case, for example, the production control CPU 101 uses a jackpot symbol determination table for probability variation jackpots in which determination values are assigned to probability variation symbols (odd symbols of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) in advance. Based on the random number for determining the jackpot symbol, the jackpot symbol of the probability variation symbol is determined as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol.

  When the fluctuation display result is “15 round normal big hit” or “15 rounds probable big hit (with promotion during middle hit)”, the effect control CPU 56 determines the final effect design based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol. As a stop symbol, a jackpot symbol of a non-probable variation symbol (for example, a combination of symbols in which the left, middle and right effect symbols are aligned with the same even number of symbols) is determined. In this case, for example, the effect control CPU 101 uses a normal big hit big hit symbol determination table in which a determination value is assigned in advance to the non-probable variable symbols (even numbers of 2, 4, 6, and 8). Based on the design determining random number, the jackpot symbol of the non-probable variation symbol is determined as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol. In addition, in the case of “15 rounds probable big hit (with promotion during jackpot)”, the big win symbol of the non-probable variable is stopped and displayed as a result of the change display of the production symbol, and then promoted to probable during the big hit game The probability variation promotion effect of the aspect is executed, and it is notified that the state is shifted to the probability variation state after the big hit game.

  When the fluctuation display result is “suddenly probable big hit”, the effect control CPU 56 uses a sudden probable big hit symbol (for example, a combination of symbols “135” and “357”) as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol. decide.

  When the variation display result is “out of”, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not a variation pattern with reach is designated based on the received variation pattern command. If not reach, the effect control CPU 101 individually determines the final stop symbols of the left, middle, and right effect symbols based on the final stop symbol determination random numbers. Specifically, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the final stop symbol of the left effect symbol based on the left final stop symbol determination random number, and the final stop of the right effect symbol based on the right final stop symbol determination random number The symbol is determined, and the final stop symbol of the medium effect symbol is determined based on the middle final stop symbol determination random number. In this case, the effect control CPU 101 determines the final stop symbols of the left and right effect symbols so as not to be the same symbol (that is, the final stop symbols are not reach-removed symbols). Further, the CPU 101 for effect control, for example, in accordance with a prohibition table that defines combinations of final stop symbols to be prohibited, the final stop symbols are predetermined chance symbols (for example, combinations of symbols such as “113” and “224”), The final stop symbol of the left middle right production symbol is finally determined so as not to suddenly become a probable big hit symbol.

  When the variation display result is “out of” and reach is designated, the effect control CPU 101 determines the reach symbol (left and right) as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol based on the reach final stop symbol determination random number. The combination of symbols in which the production symbols of the same design are aligned with each other) is determined. In this embodiment, with respect to the effect design in the middle, the determined reach design is stopped at the previous symbol or the symbol that has been overrun by the number of symbols designated by the variation pattern command (see FIG. 4). Thus, the reach-removed symbol is finally stopped and displayed as the final stop symbol of the effect symbol.

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not a pseudo-ream is designated in the received variation pattern command. When the pseudo-continuous is designated, the CPU 101 for effect control uses the pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol (pseudo-continuous chance chance) to temporarily stop before each re-variation of the pseudo-continuous based on the random number for determining the pseudo-continuous temporary stop. Determine the design. Specifically, the production control CPU 101 uses a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table in which a determination value is assigned to each pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol in advance, based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number. Thus, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is determined.

  7 to 9 are explanatory diagrams illustrating examples of a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol to be temporarily stopped before each re-variation of the pseudo continuous. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, there are cases where combinations of three types of symbols of groups A to C are determined as pseudo continuous temporary stop symbols. Group A is a combination of even-numbered symbols that is used as a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol. For example, the CPU 101 for effect control determines a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol such as “224”, “446”, “226”, “668”, “228”, “448” as the temporary stop symbol of the group A. Group B is a combination of odd-numbered symbols to form a pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol. For example, the effect control CPU 101 determines a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol such as “113”, “335”, “115”, “557”, “559”, “779”, etc. as the temporary stop symbol of group B. Further, the group C is a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol combining only specific odd symbols (in this embodiment, “3” and “7”) among the odd symbols. For example, the effect control CPU 101 determines a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol such as “337” or “773” as the temporary stop symbol of group C.

  In this embodiment, the quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol of group B is determined when there are two or more remaining re-variations of the quasi-continuation. Therefore, in the case where the quasi-ream is executed during the change display of the effect symbol and the quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol of the group B is displayed as a temporary stop, the player executes the re-variation of the quasi-ream at least two more times. Can be recognized. As described above, in this embodiment, when the pseudo-run is executed, the expectation (reliability) for the big hit increases as the number of re-variations increases. By displaying the temporary stop symbol temporarily, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the big hit.

  In this embodiment, even if the remaining number of re-variations of the pseudo-continuous is less than 2, if it is a big hit, the pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol of group B may be determined with a low probability. . That is, in this case, since it is a big hit, the player will not feel dissatisfied even if the re-variation is performed less than two times after the group B pseudo-temporary stop symbol is displayed temporarily. Because.

  In this embodiment, the quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol of group C is determined when there are three or more remaining re-variations of the quasi-continuation. Therefore, in the case where the quasi-ream is executed during the variation display of the effect symbol, and the quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol of the group C is displayed as a temporary stop, the player executes the re-variation of the quasi-ream at least three more times. Can be recognized. Therefore, when the group C pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed as a temporary stop, compared to the case where the group B pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed as a temporary stop, the player has a greater sense of expectation for the big hit. Can be increased.

  In this embodiment, even if the remaining number of re-variations of the pseudo-continuous is less than 3, if it is a big hit, the group C pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol may be determined with a low probability. . In other words, in this case, since it is a big hit, the player will not feel dissatisfied even if the re-variation is performed less than three times after the tentative stop display of the group C pseudo stop symbol is displayed. Because.

  Note that the method of grouping the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbols is not limited to that shown in this embodiment, and for example, the symbols may be grouped according to a combination of symbols of other numbers, a display color of the symbols, or the like. For example, instead of “3” and “7”, another odd symbol (for example, “1” and “9”) may be combined as a specific odd symbol and the pseudo-temporary stop symbol may be set as group C. Also, for example, among the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbols, the combination of blue display color symbols is group A, the combination of yellow display color symbols is group B, and the combination of red display color symbols is group C. It may be divided into groups.

  First, an operation for determining a quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol when a re-variation one-time quasi-ream is specified in the variation pattern command will be described. FIG. 7 (A) shows the first pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation is performed once (in this case, since the re-variation is only one time, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is The pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining that the temporary stop is displayed only once) is shown. In this case, since re-variation is performed only once, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the case of deviation, the effect control CPU 101 is based on a pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number. Then, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined (the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group B or group C is not determined). On the other hand, in the case of big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group A with a high probability based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol. In the case of a big hit, although there is a low probability, the CPU 101 for effect control may determine the pseudo-continuous stop symbol of group B or group C based on the pseudo-random temporary stop symbol determination random number. .

  7 to 9, expressions such as a high probability, a medium probability, and a low probability are made. In this embodiment, for example, a high probability means a probability of 50% or more, and a medium probability. Probability refers to a probability of 10 percent or more and less than 50 percent, and low probability refers to a probability of less than 10 percent. For example, in FIG. 7A, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo-temporary stop symbol of the group A with a high probability A1 (for example, 92%) and a low probability A2 (for example, 5). The pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group B is determined by the percentage), and the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group C is determined by the low probability A3 (for example, 3 percent).

  Next, an operation for determining a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when a re-variation two-time pseudo ream is specified in the variation pattern command will be described. FIG. 7B shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the initial pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation two-time pseudo sequence is executed. In this case, when the first pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed temporarily, the remaining number of re-variations is two. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined with a high probability B4 (for example, 70%), and the pseudo sequence of group B is determined with a medium probability B5 (for example, 30%). A temporary stop symbol is determined (the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C is not determined). On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group A with a high probability B1 (for example, 70%) based on the pseudo random temporary stop symbol determination random number, The group B pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is determined with the probability B2 (for example, 25%). Further, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group C based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol, although it has a low probability B3 (for example, 5%). There is a case.

  FIG. 7C shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the second pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation two-time pseudo ream is executed. In this case, since the re-variation is performed only once, as shown in FIG. 7C, in the case of deviation, the effect control CPU 101 is based on the pseudo-random temporary stop symbol determination random number. Thus, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined (the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group B or group C is not determined). On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group A with high probability C1 (for example, 92%) based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number. In the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group B based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol, although it has a low probability C2 (for example, 5%). Although there is a low probability C3 (for example, 3%), the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C may be determined based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number.

  Next, the operation for determining the pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation three-time pseudo-ream is specified in the variation pattern command will be described. FIG. 8D shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the initial pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation three times of the pseudo sequence is executed. In this case, when the first pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed temporarily, the remaining number of re-variations is three, so that, as shown in FIG. Based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined with high probability D4 (for example, 50%), and the pseudo continuous symbol of group B is determined with medium probability D5 (for example, 30%). A temporary stop symbol is determined, and a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C is determined with a medium probability D6 (for example, 20%) (all pseudo continuous temporary stop symbols of groups A to C may be determined). On the other hand, if it is a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group A with high probability D1 (for example, 50%) based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol, The group B pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is determined with probability D2 (for example, 30 percent), and the group C pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is determined with medium probability D3 (for example, 20 percent).

  FIG. 8E shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the second pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation three times are executed. In this case, when the second pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed as a temporary stop, the remaining number of times of re-variation is two. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Determines the group A pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol with a high probability E4 (for example, 70%) based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determining random number, and the group B pseudo with a medium probability E5 (for example, 30 percent). A continuous temporary stop symbol is determined (the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C is not determined). On the other hand, if it is a big win, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group A with a high probability E1 (for example, 70%) based on the pseudo random temporary stop symbol determination random number, The quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol of group B is determined with probability E2 (for example, 25%). In the case of a big hit, the effect control CPU 101 determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group C based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number although it has a low probability E3 (for example, 5%). There is a case.

  FIG. 8F shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the third pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation three times of pseudo continuous are executed. In this case, since the re-variation is performed only once, as shown in FIG. 8 (F), in the case of deviation, the effect control CPU 101 is based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number. Thus, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined (the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group B or group C is not determined). On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group A with high probability F1 (for example, 92%) based on the pseudo random temporary stop symbol determination random number. In the case of a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control determines the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of the group B based on the pseudo random temporary stop symbol determination random number although it has a low probability F2 (for example, 5%). Although there is a low probability F3 (for example, 3%), the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C may be determined based on the pseudo random temporary stop symbol determining random number.

  Next, an operation for determining a pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol when a re-variation four-time pseudo-ream is specified in the variation pattern command will be described. FIG. 9G shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the initial pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation four times of the pseudo continuous are executed. In this case, when the first pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed temporarily, the remaining number of re-variations is four times. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined with high probability G1 (for example, 50%), and the pseudo continuous symbol of group B is determined with medium probability G2 (for example, 30%). A temporary stop symbol is determined, and a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C is determined with a medium probability G3 (for example, 20%) (all pseudo continuous temporary stop symbols of groups A to C may be determined). Note that, as described above, in this embodiment, there are cases where the re-variation four times are executed only in the case of a big hit, so as shown in FIG. Is not assigned to any pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol.

  FIG. 9H shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the second pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation four times of the pseudo continuous are executed. In this case, when the second pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed as a temporary stop, the remaining number of re-variations is three, so that, as shown in FIG. Determines a group A pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol with a high probability H1 (for example, 50%) based on the pseudo random temporary stop symbol determination random number, and a group B pseudo with a medium probability H2 (for example, 30 percent). A continuous temporary stop symbol is determined, and a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C is determined with a medium probability H3 (for example, 20%) (all pseudo continuous temporary stop symbols of groups A to C may be determined). . Note that, as described above, in this embodiment, there are cases in which pseudo-continuations of four re-variations are executed only in the case of a big hit, so as shown in FIG. Is not assigned to any pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol.

  Further, FIG. 9I shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the third pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation four times of the pseudo continuous are executed. In this case, when the third quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol is displayed as a temporary stop, the remaining number of re-variations is two. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Determines a group A pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol with a high probability I1 (for example, 70%) and a group B pseudo variable with a medium probability I2 (for example, 25 percent) based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol. Determine the temporary stop symbol. Further, although the remaining number of re-variations is 2 (because it is a big hit), the pseudo continuous temporary stop of group C with low probability I3 (for example, 5%) based on the random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol The design may be determined. Note that, as described above, in this embodiment, there are cases in which pseudo-continuations of four re-variations are executed only in the case of a big hit, so as shown in FIG. Is not assigned to any pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol.

  FIG. 9J shows a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination table for determining the fourth pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol when the re-variation four times of the pseudo continuous are executed. In this case, since the re-variation is performed only once, as shown in FIG. 9 (J), when it is a big hit, the CPU 101 for effect control is based on a random number for determining the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol. Thus, the quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol of group A is determined with high probability J1 (for example, 92%). In addition, although the remaining number of re-variations is one (since it is a big hit), the CPU 101 for effect control has a low probability J2 (for example, 5%) based on the pseudo-random temporary stop symbol determination random number. The pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of B may be determined, and the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol of group C may be determined based on the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination random number with a low probability J3 (for example, 3%). is there.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 performs a process of setting a notice effect to be executed during the variable display of the effect symbol. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the notice effect executed in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 101 determines the notice effect to be executed during the effect symbol change display by a two-stage lottery process. That is, the effect control CPU 101 first determines the type of notice effect (notice type) using the notice type determination random number. Then, the effect control CPU 101 further determines to execute any of the notice effects included in the decided notice type using the notice determination random number.

  In the case of determining the notice type, in this embodiment, a notice type determining table in which a determination value is assigned to each notice type in advance is prepared. The notice type determination table is prepared according to the contents of the variation pattern, and the effect control CPU 101 first selects the notice type determination table according to the contents of the variation pattern specified by the received variation pattern command. To do. In this embodiment, the pseudo-continuous notice type determination table corresponding to the variation pattern with pseudo-ream and the non-simultaneous notice type determination table corresponding to the variation pattern without pseudo-ream are preliminarily set. It shall be prepared.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, there are no notice, button notice, step up notice, branch step up notice, and serif notice as notice types. The effect control CPU 101 uses the selected notice type determination table, based on the notice type determination random number, as any of the notice types, no notice, button notice, step up notice, branch step up notice, or serif notice. To decide.

  In this embodiment, in the non-simultaneous notice type determination table, all of notice notice, button notice, step up notice, branch step up notice, and serif notice are set as notice types. In the notice type determination table, no notice, step-up notice, and branch step-up notice are set as the notice types (that is, the pseudo-announce notice type decision table includes button notice and Serif notice is not set). Even when the pseudo-ream is executed, the button notice or the line notice may be determined. In this case, for example, the button notice or the line notice is executed at a specific fluctuation number (for example, the final fluctuation) among the fluctuating multiple times during one fluctuation due to the pseudo-ream. Alternatively, button notices or serif notices may be executed at every change. In addition, in the case where a pseudo-series change is performed, for example, a combination of a plurality of notices may be set as the notice type, such that the first change is a button notice and the second change is a serif notice. .

  When “no notice” is determined as the notice type, the notice effect is not executed during the variation display of the effect symbol.

  The button notice is a notice effect accompanied by a button operation by the player. When the button notice is determined as the notice type, as shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 101 further, based on the notice determination random number, specifically push button chance notice effect A, push button chance notice. The notice effect of either the effect B or the push button chance notice effect C is determined. In this case, for example, during the variation display of the effect symbol, an e-mail or card picture is displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 9, or a character string prompting button operation such as “Press the button!” Is displayed. A character string such as “Chance!” Or “Gekiatsu!” Is displayed on the basis of the operation button 120 being operated by the user, and an effect that makes the player expect a big hit is executed.

  Further, the step-up notice effect means a notice effect that changes the aspect of the effect step by step from one step to a plurality of steps according to a predetermined order. In this embodiment, when the specific display result (big hit) is used, the ratio of executing the notice effect that changes the aspect of the effect in stages up to many stages in the step-up notice effect is higher than when the specific display result is not used. .

  Note that the step-up notice effect may be such that the shape and color of one character changes, and the state of the notice means (display, sound, lamp, movable object, etc.) as seen from the player changes step by step. If it can be recognized as “step-up notice”, it can be said. For example, the number of characters increases stepwise, the number of characters that move stepwise, the number of times the character moves, the frequency, etc. increase stepwise, and the size of the character increases stepwise. May be. The same applies when the character is replaced with a movable member. In other words, when a plurality of movable members are provided, the number of movable members that move stepwise may be increased, or the number of times and the frequency of movement of the movable member may increase stepwise.

  In this embodiment, a main step-up capable of executing five notice effects (notice effect A, notice effect B, notice effect C, notice effect D, notice effect E), and branch from the main step up at a predetermined timing. A branch step-up for executing a notice effect different from the notice effect in the main step-up (after the notice effect A is branched, the notice effect F and the notice effect G can be executed) is provided.

  When the step-up notice (main step-up) is determined as the notice type when the variation pattern without pseudo-continuation is specified, the effect control CPU 101 further determines the notice as shown in FIG. Based on the random number, specifically, the step-up notice effect having any number of steps of 1 to 5 is determined. In this case, for example, when the step-up notice effect of one step is determined, only the effect of step A at the first stage of the step-up notice is executed during the change display of the effect symbol. Also, for example, when a two-step step-up notice effect is determined, the step A of the first step of the step-up notice is executed and the step B of the second step is performed during the change display of the effect symbol. Even the production of is performed. Also, for example, when a three-step step-up notice effect is determined, the step A of the first step of the step-up notice is executed and the step C of the third step is performed during the variation display of the effect symbol. Even the production of is performed. Also, for example, when a 4-step step-up notice effect is determined, after the effect of step A of the first step of the step-up notice is executed during the change display of the effect symbol, the step D of the fourth step is executed. Even the production of is performed. Further, for example, when the step-up notice effect of 5 steps is determined, after the effect of step A of the first step of the step-up notice is executed during the change display of the effect symbol, the final 5th step effect is executed. The production up to step E is executed.

  Further, when a branch step-up notice is determined as the notice type when a variation pattern without pseudo-continuations is specified, the effect control CPU 101 further uses the notice determination random number as shown in FIG. Basically, the branch step-up notice effect with either 2 or 3 steps is determined. In this case, for example, when the branch step-up notice effect of two steps is determined, the effect of the first step A similar to the main step-up notice is executed during the change display of the effect symbol, and then the main Branching from the step-up notice, the effect up to Step F is executed as the second stage. Also, for example, when the branch step-up notice effect of 3 steps is determined, the effect of the first step A similar to the main step-up notice is executed during the change display of the effect symbol, and then the main step. Branching from the advance notice, the effect of step F is executed as the second stage, and the effect of step G is executed as the third stage.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific method for determining a step-up notice effect when a variation pattern with pseudo-ream is specified. Even when a variation pattern with a pseudo-ream is specified, if the step-up notice (main step-up) or the branch step-up notice is determined as the notice type, the effect control CPU 101 further determines the notice decision random number. Based on this, the step-up notice effect to be specifically executed in the mode shown in FIG. 11 is determined.

  First, a case where a re-variation one-time pseudo-run is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, when the re-variation is performed once, since it appears that two fluctuations are apparently performed during one fluctuation, the effect control CPU 101 further includes Based on the notice determination random number, a set of a step-up notice effect at the first change and a step-up notice effect at the second change is determined. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, when a set of “step A” and “steps A to C” is determined, only the notice effect A is executed as the step-up notice for the first variation, and the second variation is performed. A notice effect that develops from notice effect A to notice effect C is executed as a step-up notice. When the branch step-up notice is determined as the notice type, “steps A, F, and G” are determined for both the first change and the second change as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the re-variation two-time pseudo-run is executed, as shown in FIG. 11, it appears as if the three times of change seemed to be performed during one change. Further, a set of a step-up notice effect at the first variation, a step-up notice effect at the second variation, and a step-up notice effect at the third variation is determined based on the random number for decision determination. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, when a set of “step A”, “steps A to B”, and “steps A to D” is determined, only the notice effect A is given as the step-up notice for the first change. Executed, a notice effect that develops from the notice effect A to the notice effect B is executed as the step-up notice for the second time change, and a notice effect that develops from the notice effect A to the notice effect D is executed as the step-up notice for the third time change. The When the branch step-up notice is determined as the notice type, “steps A, F, G” are determined for the first change, the second change, and the third change as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when the re-variation three-time pseudo-run is executed, as shown in FIG. 11, it appears as if the four fluctuations are apparently performed during one fluctuation. Further, based on the random number for determining the notice, the step-up notice effect at the first variation, the step-up notice effect at the second variation, the step-up notice effect at the third variation, and the step-up notice effect at the fourth variation And determine the pair. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, when a set of “step A”, “steps A to B”, “steps A to C”, and “steps A to D” is determined, the step up is performed at the first fluctuation. Only the notice effect A is executed as the notice, the notice effect that develops from the notice effect A to the notice effect B is executed as the step-up notice for the second variation, and from the notice effect A to the notice effect C as the step-up notice for the third variation. A notice effect that develops is executed, and a notice effect that develops from notice effect A to notice effect D is executed as a step-up notice for the fourth change. When the branch step-up notice is determined as the notice type, “steps A, F, and G” are determined for the first change, the second change, the third change, and the fourth change as shown in FIG. Is done.

  Further, when the re-variation four-time pseudo-run is executed, as shown in FIG. 11, it appears as if the five times of change seemed to be performed during one change. Further, based on the random number for determining the notice, the step-up notice effect at the first variation, the step-up notice effect at the second variation, the step-up notice effect at the third variation, and the step-up notice effect at the fourth variation And the 5th step-up notice effect are determined. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, when a set of “step A”, “steps A to B”, “steps A to C”, “steps A to D”, and “steps A to E” is determined. Only the notice effect A is executed as the step-up notice for the first change, the notice effect that develops from the notice effect A to the notice effect B is executed as the step-up notice for the second change, and the notice is provided as the step-up notice for the third change. The notice effect that develops from the effect A to the notice effect C is executed, the notice effect that develops from the notice effect A to the notice effect D as the step-up notice is executed at the fourth change, and the notice effect A as the step-up notice at the fifth change. To the notice effect E is executed. When the branch step-up notice is determined as the notice type, as shown in FIG. 11, “Steps A, F, and F5” are performed for the first change, the second change, the third change, the fourth change, and the fifth change. G "is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the case of a quasi-continuation with one re-variation (when re-variation is executed once as the second variation after the first variation from the start of variation of the effect design to the temporary stop), branching occurs Except for the case where the step-up notice effect is executed, the step-up notice that develops to the third or more stage notice effect (notice effect C or D) is selected as the step-up notice executed during the second fluctuation.

  In addition, when the re-variation is a quasi-continuation of 2 times (when re-variation is executed twice as the second and third fluctuations after the initial fluctuation from the start of the change of the design symbol to the temporary stop), the branch step up Except for the case where the notice effect is executed, the step up notice executed during the second change is not only the step up notice that develops to the third or more notice effects (notice effect C or D), but also the third stage. There may be a case where a step-up notice effect that ends with less than a notice effect (notice effect A or B) is selected. Further, a step-up notice that develops to a fourth stage notice effect (notice effect D) is selected as the step-up notice executed during the third change.

  Here, in the case of the quasi-continuation with one re-variation, the step-up notice always develops to the third stage or more notice effect (notice effect C or D) during the second change, so during the second change When the step-up notice only develops up to the notice stage effect less than the third stage (that is, the notice stage effect A or B below the second stage), it is determined that the third variation is executed. In this embodiment, since the variation pattern of the quasi-continuous is selected so that the probability of a big hit increases as the number of variations of the quasi-continuous variation increases, a step-up notice is given during the second variation of the quasi-continuous. When the player recognizes that the player will continue to the third fluctuation of the pseudo-ream by ending with the notice effect less than the third stage, he will have a big hit expectation. In this way, since the number of times of pseudo-series change can be recognized depending on how many steps up the advance notice executed during the second change of the pseudo-series has been developed, It is possible to pay attention to the number of steps (number of stages) of the advance notice.

  In addition, when the re-variation is a three-time quasi-ream (when the re-variation is executed three times as the second, third, and fourth fluctuations after the initial fluctuation from the start of the change of the effect design to the temporary stop) Except when a branch step-up notice effect is executed, as a step-up notice executed during the second fluctuation, not only a step-up notice that develops to a third stage or more notice effect (notice effect C or D), A step-up notice effect that ends until the notice effect (notice effect A or B) less than the third stage may be selected. In addition, as a step-up notice executed during the third change, not only a step-up notice that develops to a fourth stage or more notice effect (notice effect D) but also a notice effect (notice effect B or C) less than the fourth stage. ) May be selected as a step-up notice effect that ends until. Also, a step-up notice that develops to a fourth stage notice effect (notice effect D) is selected as the step-up notice executed during the fourth change.

  Here, as described above, in the case of the quasi-continuation with one re-variation, the step-up notice is always developed to the notice effect (notice effect C or D) of the third stage or more during the second change. It is confirmed that the third change will be executed if the step-up notice develops only to the notice effect less than the third stage (that is, the notice effect A or B below the second stage) during the second change. become. Furthermore, in the case of two re-variations, the step-up notice always develops to the fourth stage notice effect (notice effect D) during the third change, so the step-up notice is issued during the third change. When only the advance notice effect below the fourth stage (that is, the notice effects A to C below the third stage) has been developed, it is determined that the fourth change is executed. Therefore, the player recognizes that the step-up notice ends with a notice effect less than the third stage during the second fluctuation of the pseudo-ream, and that the player continues to the third change of the pseudo-ream. When the player recognizes that the step-up notice will end with a notice effect of less than the fourth stage during the third change, and that the player will continue with the fourth change of the pseudo-ream, he will have a greater expectation of jackpot It will be. In this way, to what level the step-up notice executed during the second fluctuation of the pseudo-series has evolved, and to what stage the step-up notice executed during the third fluctuation of the pseudo-series has evolved. Since it is possible to recognize the number of fluctuations of the pseudo-series depending on whether or not, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the number of steps (number of stages) of the step-up notice during the pseudo-series fluctuation.

  In the case of the quasi-continuous re-variation four times (when the re-variation is executed four times as the second, third, fourth and fifth variations after the initial variation from the start of variation of the effect design to the temporary stop) ) Is only a step-up notice that develops to a third-stage or more notice effect (notice effect C or D) as a step-up notice executed during the second fluctuation, except when a branch step-up notice effect is executed. Instead, there may be a case where a step-up notice effect that ends until the notice effect (notice effect A or B) less than the third stage is selected. In addition, as a step-up notice executed during the third change, not only a step-up notice that develops to a fourth stage or more notice effect (notice effect D) but also a notice effect (notice effect B or C) less than the fourth stage. ) May be selected as a step-up notice effect that ends until. Also, a step-up notice that develops to a fourth stage notice effect (notice effect D) is selected as the step-up notice executed during the fourth change. Also, a step-up notice that develops to a fifth stage notice effect (notice effect E) is selected as the step-up notice executed during the fifth change.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, step-down is not performed in all pseudo-reams (for example, the development from the notice effect A to the notice effect D was performed in the second change, but 2 in the third change. It is set so that there are no cases where only the advance notice effect B and the notice effect C have been developed less than the first time), and the player is confident that the step-up notice goes down when the pseudo-ream continues. It is possible to prevent misunderstanding as if the degree has decreased. In this embodiment, it is configured not to step down, but may be configured to step down. In this case, it is preferable that the player does not feel that the reliability of the big hit is reduced due to the step down, such as making the step down effect only at the big hit as the premier effect.

  The serif notice is a notice effect in which a predetermined character string is displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 9 as a character serif, for example. When the button notice is determined as the notice type, as shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 101 further, based on the notice decision random number, specifically, the notice notice effect A, the notice notice effect B, the words, One of the notice effects C, the notice notice effect D, or the notice notice effect E is determined. In this case, for example, during the variation display of the effect symbol, a character string such as “Chance!”, “Big hit!” Or “Gekiatsu!” Is displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 9 ( The sound may be output from the speaker 27), and an effect that makes the player expect a big hit is executed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 selects a process table corresponding to the content of the determined notice effect, and the effect device according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound number data, movable member control data). (Production display device 9 as production parts for variably displaying production symbols, various lamps as production parts, speaker 27 as production parts, movable member 78 as production parts and production blades 79a and 79b ), The effect including the variation display of the effect symbol is executed. For example, in accordance with the display control execution data, an instruction is output to the VDP 109 in order to display an image (including an effect symbol) corresponding to the variation pattern on the effect display device 9. In addition, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp driver board 35 in order to perform on / off control of various lamps. In addition, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound output board 70 in order to output sound from the speaker 27. Further, a drive signal for operating the movable member 78 is output in accordance with the movable member control data. Moreover, according to the movable member control data, a drive signal for operating the effect blades 79a and 79b is output.

  After that, when receiving the symbol confirmation designation command from the game control microcomputer 560, the effect control CPU 101 performs control to finally stop the variation display of the effect symbol and stop and display the final stop symbol of the determined effect symbol. And in the case of a big hit, while the opening control of the big prize opening is being performed, effects corresponding to the big hit game (for example, fanfare effects, in-round effects for each round, interval effects between rounds, ending effects) ) Is executed.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, when the game control microcomputer 560 determines the “big hit” when determining the variation pattern with the pseudo-ream, it is determined as “out of”. Compared with the case where it is determined, a variation pattern with a pseudo-ream that has a large number of re-variations at a high rate is determined. Further, the production control microcomputer 100 determines a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol to be displayed for temporary stop when a variation pattern with pseudo continuous is determined. In this case, the temporary stop symbol of the second group or the third group can be determined as the pseudo-continuous temporary stop symbol when the big hit is determined or when there are a plurality of remaining re-variations during the variable display of the effect symbol. It is. Therefore, not only letting the player recognize that the effect of the pseudo-ream is executed by displaying the temporary stop symbol temporarily stopped, but the temporary stop symbol of the second group or the third group is displayed temporarily stopped. This makes it possible for the player to recognize that the pseudo-ream is executed over a plurality of variations, and to increase the expectation for the big hit. Therefore, it is possible to focus on what temporary stop symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Therefore, in the gaming machine in which the effect of the pseudo-ream is executed, it is possible to cause the player to recognize how long the pseudo-ream is executed and to increase the expectation for the big hit.

  Further, according to this embodiment, the game control microcomputer 560 determines the variation pattern type to which the variation pattern of the effect symbol belongs to one of a plurality of types based on the result of the jackpot determination. Next, the variation pattern of the effect design is determined from the variation patterns included in the determined variation pattern type. Then, the effect control microcomputer 100 executes an effect including at least a variable display of the effect symbol in accordance with the determined variation pattern. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the design change for determining the variation pattern, and without increasing the program capacity, it is possible to execute various effects even when the reach state is not achieved, thereby improving the interest of the game.

  For example, in this embodiment, with respect to the variation pattern with super reach, the variation pattern type is classified according to the presence / absence of the pseudo-ream and the number of re-variations in the pseudo-ream (variation pattern types # 4 to ## in FIG. 4). 7). For this reason, if the allocation of the judgment value for each variation pattern type is changed, the appearance ratio of the pseudo-series and the appearance ratio of the pseudo-series for each number of re-variations can be easily changed, and the appearance ratio of each production can be designed. Changes can be facilitated. Further, if the variation pattern type is set according to the reach type such as normal reach or super reach, the appearance ratio for each reach can be easily changed. In this way, by setting the variation pattern type for the effects of various aspects, it is possible to easily change the design such as the appearance ratio of effects of various aspects.

In addition, the above-described payout sensor 635, stop switch 636, automatic settlement switch 629, setting key switch 637, and reset / setting switch 638 are connected via the power supply board 600, and detection of these connected switches is detected. A signal is input.

  The game control board 640 includes the credit display 611, the game auxiliary display 612, the payout display 613, 1 to 3 BET LEDs 614 to 616, the insertion request LED 617, the start valid LED 618, the waiting LED 619, the replaying LED 620, and the BET. A switch valid LED 621, left, middle, and right stop valid LEDs 622L, 622C, and 622R, a set value display 624, a flow path switching solenoid 630, and reel motors 632L, 632C, and 632R are connected to each other, and are described above via the power supply board 600. The hopper motor 634 is connected, and these electric components are driven based on the control of a later-described main control unit 641 (corresponding to the game control microcomputer 560 in FIG. 2) mounted on the game control board 640. Like That.

  The game control board 640 includes a microcomputer having a CPU 641a, ROM 641b, RAM 641c, and I / O port 641d. A main control unit 641 for controlling the game, random numbers in a predetermined range (0 to 16383 in this embodiment) Random number generation circuit 642 for generating, sampling circuit 643 for obtaining random numbers from the random number generation circuit, detection signals input from switches such as sensors and switches connected directly to game control board 640 or via power supply board 600 Switch detection circuit 644, a motor drive circuit 645 that controls the drive of the reel motors 632L, 632C, and 632R, a solenoid drive circuit 646 that controls the drive of the flow path switching solenoid 630, various displays connected to the game control board 640, LED drive circuit for LED drive control 47. The power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 601 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power drop detection circuit 648 that outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 641, A reset circuit 649 for providing a reset signal to the CPU 641a when an initialization command is not input from the CPU 641a, and other various devices and circuits are mounted.

  The CPU 641a transmits various commands to the effect control board 690 via the I / O port 641d. A command transmitted from the game control board 640 to the effect control board 690 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 690 to the game control board 640. A transmission line for commands transmitted from the game control board 640 to the effect control board 690 includes a strobe (INT) signal line, a data transmission line, and a ground line, and is connected via the effect relay board 680. The game control board 640 and the effect control board 690 are not directly connected.

  On the effect control board 690, a liquid crystal display 651 (see FIG. 12) disposed on the front door of the slot machine 601, an effect LED 652, speakers 653 and 654, a reel LED 655, a shutter motor 710, a shutter sensor 711, and a movable object Electrical components such as the LED 881, the movable object motor 805, and the movable object sensor 829 are connected, and these electrical components are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 691 mounted on the effect control board 690. It is like that.

  The effect control board 690 is composed of a microcomputer having a CPU 691a, a ROM 691b, a RAM 691c, and an I / O port 691d in the same manner as the main control part 641, and includes a sub-control part 691 for effect control and an effect control board 690. A liquid crystal drive circuit 692 that controls the drive of the connected liquid crystal display 651, an effect effect LED 652, a reel LED 655, an LED drive circuit 693 that controls the drive of the movable object LED 881, and a sound that controls audio output from the speakers 653 and 654.

Detect the switch A motor drive circuit 697 for controlling the drive of the H detection circuit 696, the shutter motor 710, and the movable object motor 805, and other circuits are mounted. The CPU 691a receives a command transmitted from the game control board 640. In addition to performing various controls for performing effects, each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 690 is controlled directly or indirectly.

  Next, the internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 641 will be described. At the timing when the start switch 607 is turned on, the sampling circuit 643 acquires (extracts) a numerical value (random number) counted by the random number generation circuit 642. The sampling circuit 643 outputs the numerical value acquired as a random number to the CPU 641a in the main control unit 641.

  The CPU 641a in the main control unit 641 uses the numerical value acquired from the sampling circuit 643 and the determination value set for each combination (small combination, replay combination, special combination, etc.) in the internal lottery table stored in the ROM 641b. By comparing, it is determined whether or not a small role / replaying role / special role is won. Further, as a table for internal lottery, a plurality of tables are provided so that the medal payout rate changes according to the set value / game state (normal game state, regular bonus). For example, in the internal lottery table, a plurality of judgment values are set for each of a small combination (cherry, bell), a re-playing combination (replay), a special combination (regular bonus, big bonus), and a loss. Further, for example, when “1” to “6” are provided as setting values that can be set by the reset / setting switch 638, the determination value is assigned so that the medal payout rate changes as the setting value number increases. Table is used. In addition, when the gaming state is a normal gaming state, a table in which a judgment value is assigned to each of the roles and outliers so that any of the small roles, replaying roles, and special roles can be won is used. In the case of a regular bonus, a table in which judgment values are assigned to the small role and the offside so that only the small role can be won (a table in which no judgment value is assigned to the replaying role / special role) is used. . The setting of the determination value in the above table is an example, and the determination value is not limited to such setting. In this embodiment, the number of bets can be set by the player only “3” in the normal gaming state and “1” in the regular bonus, but either of the normal gaming state or the regular bonus can be set. Even in the gaming state, any one of “1” to “3” can be set by the player as the bet number. A plurality of internal lottery tables having different winning probabilities for replaying and special roles may be prepared, and internal lottery may be performed using tables corresponding to the number of bets.

  As described above, in the slot machine 601 of this embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value, and the winning probability of the internal lottery is determined according to the set value.

  In the slot machine 601 of the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set is determined according to the gaming state as described above, and the prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In this embodiment, there are a regular bonus and a normal gaming state as the gaming state. Among these, 1 is defined as the prescribed number of bets corresponding to the regular bonus, and the prescribed number of bets corresponding to the normal gaming state is as follows. 3 is defined. For this reason, when the gaming state is a regular bonus, the game can be started when the betting number is set to 1, and when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the game is started when the betting number is set to 3. Can be started. In this embodiment, when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated, and the specified number corresponding to the gaming state is If it is 1, all winning lines L1 to L5 are activated when 1 is set as the bet number, and if the specified number is 3 according to the gaming state, 3 is set as the bet number. All winning lines L1 to L5 are activated.

  In the slot machine 601 of this embodiment, when all the reels 602L, 602C, and 602R are stopped, the winning line that is activated (in the case of this embodiment, all the winning lines are always activated. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the game state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery and the winning flag of the combination must be set in the RAM 641c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combination permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes. As described above, in the slot machine 601 according to the present invention, when it is determined by the prize predetermining means that the generation of the specific prize is permitted and the specific prize display result is not derived to the prize variable display section, There is a carry-over means for carrying over the decision to allow the generation of a prize from the next game. In such a configuration, even when the specific winning display result is not derived to the winning variable display section, the decision to allow the occurrence of the specific winning is carried over from the next game onward, A loss to the player can be prevented.

  As a combination in the slot machine 601, a big bonus and a regular bonus are defined as a special combination, cherry and bell are defined as a small combination, and replay is defined as a re-playing combination. In addition, as a combination of combinations in the slot machine 601, big bonus + cherry and regular bonus + cherry are determined. That is, the total of the combination of the combination and combination is 7.

  In the slot machine 601 of the present embodiment, the combination of combinations and combinations of combinations that are subject to lottery differ depending on whether the gaming state is a normal gaming state or a regular bonus. Furthermore, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, it depends on whether any special role is being carried over (whether any special role has already been set in the winning flag of the special role). The combination of combinations and combinations that are subject to lottery are also different. In this embodiment, a state number corresponding to the gaming state is assigned, and when performing an internal lottery, a state number corresponding to the current gaming state is set, and a role to be a lottery object is determined according to this state number. It becomes possible to specify. Specifically, when no special combination is carried over in the normal gaming state, “0” is set as the state number, and when any special combination is carried over in the normal gaming state, “1” is set as the state number, and “2” is set as the state number in the case of a regular bonus.

  When the gaming state is a normal gaming state and no special role is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “0”, a big bonus, a regular bonus, a big bonus + cherry, a regular bonus + Cherry, replay, cherry, bell, that is, all combinations and combinations of combinations are subject to internal lottery. In addition, when the game state is the normal game state and any special combination is carried over, that is, when the state number is set to “1”, a combination of replay, cherry, bell combination and combination Is subject to internal lottery. Further, when the game state is a regular bonus, that is, “2” is set as the state number, the combination of cherry and bell and combinations of combinations are targeted for internal lottery.

  Cherry is awarded when the “Cherry” symbol is derived on one of the winning lines for the left reel in any gaming state, and two medals are paid out in the normal gaming state. 15 medals are paid out. If the “Cherry” symbol stops at the upper or lower level of the left reel, the combination of cherries will be aligned on the two winning lines L2 and L4 or the winning lines L3 and L5. Since you won the cherry on the winning line, 4 medals will be paid out in the normal gaming state, but in the regular bonus, even if you win the cherry on the 2 winning lines, one game Since the upper limit of the number of medals to be paid out at 15 is set to 15, only 15 medals are paid out. A bell is awarded when a combination of “Bell-Bell-Bell” is placed on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and in the normal gaming state, 8 medals are paid out. 15 medals are paid out.

  Replay is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-replay” is arranged on any of the winning lines in the normal gaming state. When a replay is won, the medals will not be paid out, but the next game can be started without setting the number of bets again, so the number of bets no longer required to be set in the next game (the regular bonus will not be replayed and will always be 3) This is substantially the same as when three corresponding medals are paid out.

  The regular bonus is awarded when a combination of “red 7-red 7-BAR” is arranged on any of the winning lines in the normal gaming state. When the regular bonus is won, the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the regular bonus. The regular bonus ends when 12 games are consumed, or when 8 games are won (any kind of combination is possible), whichever comes first. While the game state is the regular bonus, the regular bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 641c.

  The big bonus is awarded when a combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in the normal gaming state. When the big bonus is won, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus. When transitioning to the big bonus, the transition to the regular bonus is performed at the same time as the transition to the big bonus. Controlled by regular bonus. That is, during the big bonus, the regular bonus is always controlled. The big bonus ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the big bonus exceeds 465. At this time, the regular bonus is ended regardless of whether the regular bonus end condition is satisfied. While the gaming state is the big bonus, the big bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 641c.

  The regular bonus and the big bonus described above may be collectively referred to simply as “bonus”.

  In FIG. 12, only the white symbols 7 are drawn on the reels 601L, 601C, and 601R. However, the illustration is omitted, and the reels 601L, 601C, and 601R are actually surrounded by dotted lines. The design is drawn.

  In the slot machine 601 of the present embodiment, there is a possibility that a small role, a re-playing role or a special role (bonus) is won in the internal lottery (a small role, a re-playing role or a special role is won by winning the internal lottery). Suggestive effects suggesting that there is a possibility that the winning flag is set in the RAM 641c) on the stage members (liquid display 651, movable right and left movable parts 675L, 675R, etc. of the liquid crystal display 651). To be executed. In particular, based on the fact that it is determined that the special combination is allowed to be generated by the internal lottery process (a state in which the internal lottery is won and the special combination winning flag is set in the RAM 641c), the CPU 691a displays the liquid crystal display. The suggestion effect is executed so that a specific display result (for example, “7,7,7” is provided) is obtained as a combination of the left, middle, and right symbols Z1 to Z3 displayed on the display screen of the device 651. To do.

  In this embodiment, as in the case of the pseudo-ream effect executed by the effect display device 9 in the pachinko machine 1 described above, the liquid crystal display 651 uses one game as a suggested effect using the variable display of symbols Z1 to Z3. The temporary stop and re-variable display (re-variation) of the symbols Z1 to Z3 are repeatedly executed several times, and the pseudo-continuous change (pseudo-continuous) that makes it appear that a plurality of variable displays are executed during the period of one game. It is possible to execute. Further, in this case, similarly to the pachinko machine 1 described above, when it is determined to be a specific display result, or when the number of remaining re-variable displays during variable display of the symbols Z1 to Z3 is multiple times, As the temporary stop display result (pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol), the special display result (group B or group C pseudo continuous chance symbol) can be determined.

  Note that the gaming state advantageous to the player is not limited to the above big bonus and regular bonus, but for example, a notification target winning that occurs on condition that reel deriving conditions (for example, stop order or stop timing) are satisfied. When a stop switch 606L, 606C, or 606R is operated by limiting a game state (so-called assist time (AT)) in which an operation procedure that satisfies a derivation condition is notified or at least one of the reels is retracted. Control the displayed symbols to be easy to stop, and the challenge time (CT) that allows the player to derive a combination of winning symbols by pushing forward, specific winnings (for example, replay winnings and singles) Gaming state (so-called replay time (RT) Middle state), and further, a game state (for example, ART that combines assist time and replay time) may be mounted, and the suggestion producing means establishes a transition condition for shifting to these game states. The suggestion effect may be performed so that a specific display result is obtained based on what is being performed.

  Further, the type of specific display result may be different depending on the type of gaming state where the transition condition is satisfied. (For example, “7 ・ 7 ・ 7” or “3 ・ 3 ・ 3” is based on the fact that the big bonus was won as a special role in the internal lottery, and the regular bonus was won as a special role in the internal lottery. “3.3.3” is prepared, and “1.1.1” is prepared based on the fact that the transition condition for shifting to the replay time (RT) is satisfied.)

  The present invention can be applied to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine. In particular, an effect device such as an effect display device (effect parts) provided in the gaming machine can perform a pseudo-ream effect or a notice effect. It is preferably applied to a game machine to be executed.
