（解決手段１）
遊技領域内に配置され遊技媒体が入球可能な始動口と、該始動口に遊技媒体が入球したことを検出する入球状態検出手段と、該入球状態検出手段による前記遊技媒体の検出に基づいて抽選を行う抽選手段と、該抽選手段による抽選結果に基づいて所定の変動時間が設定された変動表示パターンを決定する変動表示パターン決定手段と、所定の開閉動作を行い、閉状態から開状態に変化することで前記遊技媒体が入賞可能となる開閉入賞装置と、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が当りである場合には、前記開閉入賞装置を開状態に変化させて、遊技者に利益を付与する利益付与手段と、前記変動表示パターン決定手段により決定された変動表示パターンに基づく演出画像を表示する演出表示装置と、複数種類の装飾図柄を記憶する装飾図柄記憶手段と、前記演出表示装置の表示領域に停止される複数の装飾図柄の組合せとして、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が当りである場合には特定の装飾図柄の組合せに決定する一方、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が外れである場合には前記特定の装飾図柄の組合せとはならない装飾図柄の組合せに決定する最終停止図柄決定手段と、前記変動表示パターン決定手段により決定された変動表示パターンに基づいて、前記演出表示装置の表示領域に前記複数の装飾図柄の変動を行い、前記最終停止図柄決定手段の決定結果に対応した装飾図柄の停止図柄で変動を停止させる装飾図柄変動制御手段と、前記利益が付与される期待度を示唆する期待度演出を複数種類記憶する期待度演出記憶手段と、前記変動表示パターン決定手段により決定された変動表示パターンに基づいて、前記複数種類の期待度演出のうち前記変動表示パターンに対応付けられた期待度演出に決定する期待度演出決定手段と、前記装飾図柄変動制御手段による前記複数の装飾図柄の変動に併せて、前記期待度演出決定手段により決定された期待度演出の表示制御を行う期待度演出表示制御手段と、を備え、前記期待度演出記憶手段には、前記複数の装飾図柄がリーチ状態で停止された後、通常の演出態様から特定の演出態様へと進行させることが可能な前記期待度演出が記憶されるとともに、前記特定の演出態様が含まれない期待度演出よりも前記特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出のほうが、前記利益が付与される期待度が高くなるように設定されており、前記期待度演出表示制御手段は、前記複数の装飾図柄が複数回にわたって変動するかのように前記複数の装飾図柄を変動させる変動演出を実行し、前記複数の装飾図柄が所定の装飾図柄の組合せとなることに応じて当該変動演出の実行を継続させる連続変動演出を実行する連続変動演出実行手段と、前記特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出として、前記複数の装飾図柄の変動が開始された後から前記特定の演出態様が実行されるまでの間の部分に前記連続変動演出が入れ込まれた態様からなる特別期待度演出を実行可能とする特別期待度演出実行手段と、を有し、前記連続変動演出実行手段により前記連続変動演出を実行する場合において、前記変動演出の実行を継続させる回数が同一であり、且つ前記連続変動演出の実行時間を異ならせた複数種類の前記連続変動演出のうちいずれかを実行可能とし、前記特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出として、前記連続変動演出を実行しない場合には、前記リーチ状態が停止された後、前記通常の演出態様から前記特定の演出態様へと進行する表示制御を行う一方、前記特別期待度演出実行手段により前記特別期待度演出を実行する場合には、前記連続変動演出にて前記リーチ状態が停止された後、前記通常の演出態様を実行することなく、前記特定の演出態様へと進行する表示制御を行うことを特徴とする遊技機。
ここで、期待度演出における特定の演出態様とは、多段階からなる演出態様のうち最終段階の演出態様（例えば、所謂、通常変動後にノーマル演出から発展演出へと展開される構成においては、発展演出）に相当するものであり、概ね演出時間が長く経過するほど、演出態様の段階が上がるとともに期待度が高くなるように期待度演出が設定されている。また、期待度を異ならせた特定の演出態様が複数種類用意される場合には、全ての特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出に対して連続変動演出を実行可能とするかたちとしてもよいが、その中でも期待度の高い特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出に対して連続変動演出を実行可能としたほうが後述の効果を顕著に奏することができる。
また、連続変動演出は、特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出において複数の装飾図柄の変動が開始された後から特定の演出態様が実行されるまでの間の部分に入れ込まれるが、複数の装飾図柄の変動が開始された後に相当するリーチ状態が停止される前後のタイミングからが望ましい。すなわち、特別期待度演出を実行する場合には、リーチ状態が停止されるタイミングが連続変動演出の終了時まで移行されることになる。また、連続変動演出の開始契機としては、例えば、複数の装飾図柄の変動が外れ図柄（特定の装飾図柄の組合せとはならない装飾図柄の組合せ）で仮停止表示する態様とすることで、その変動が外れ図柄で停止表示されたとしても連続変動演出が実行されているのではないかと期待させる構成とすることができる。また、連続変動演出の開始前後において、複数の装飾図柄の変動が仮停止されることなくそのまま継続される構成や、その変動とは別個の文字情報等によって連続変動演出の開始を遊技者に告知するような構成であってもよい。
解決手段１記載の遊技機によれば、装飾図柄変動制御手段による複数の装飾図柄の変動に併せて、期待度演出決定手段により決定された期待度演出の表示制御を行う期待度演出表示制御手段を備え、期待度演出記憶手段には、複数の装飾図柄がリーチ状態で停止された後、通常の演出態様から特定の演出態様へと進行させることが可能な期待度演出が記憶されるとともに、特定の演出態様が含まれない期待度演出よりも特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出のほうが、利益が付与される期待度が高くなるように設定されるものである。すなわち、期待度演出において特定の演出態様が実行される前段階である通常の演出態様では、特定の演出態様へと展開されなければ利益付与に対する期待感が高められる状態とはならず、遊技者が期待のもてる演出態様とはならない。一方、連続変動演出とは、複数の装飾図柄が複数回にわたって変動するかのように複数の装飾図柄を変動させる変動演出を実行し、複数の装飾図柄が所定の装飾図柄の組合せとなることに応じて当該変動演出の実行を継続させるものである。この連続変動演出が実行された場合には、リーチ状態が停止されるか否かの機会が複数回得られるのに加えて、結果としてリーチ状態が停止されることから、利益付与に対する期待感を徐々に高めることができる。また、連続変動演出にてリーチ状態が停止された後、通常の演出態様を実行することなく、特定の演出態様が展開されることから、連続変動演出を遊技者が期待のもてる演出とすることができる。また、連続変動演出実行手段により連続変動演出を実行する場合において、変動演出の実行を継続させる回数が同一であり、且つ連続変動演出の実行時間を異ならせた複数種類の連続変動演出のうちいずれかを実行可能とすることができる。
また、特定の演出態様が含まれる期待度演出として、複数の装飾図柄の変動が開始された後から特定の演出態様が実行されるまでの間の部分に連続変動演出が入れ込まれた態様からなる特別期待度演出を実行可能としている。すなわち、変動表示パターンに設定された所定の変動時間（期待度演出の演出時間）を保持しながら、期待度演出において特定の演出態様が実行されるまでの遊技者が期待のもてない通常の演出態様を、遊技者が期待のもてる連続変動演出に差替えて実行することができる。したがって、遊技者が期待のもてる連続変動演出が実行されながらも、変動表示パターンに設定された所定の変動時間（期待度演出の演出時間）を保持することから、演出内容が間延びすることがない。また、遊技者が期待のもてない通常の演出態様が省略されることで、遊技者の興味に沿ったかたちの期待度演出が実行されるようになり、遊技興趣の低下を抑制することができる。
（解決手段２）
前記連続変動演出決定手段は、前記連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定される際に、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が当りである場合に、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が外れである場合よりも高い割合で前記変動演出の実行を継続させることを特徴とする解決手段１記載の遊技機。
解決手段２記載の遊技機によれば、連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定される際に、抽選手段の抽選結果が当りである場合に、抽選手段の抽選結果が外れである場合よりも高い割合で変動演出の実行を継続させるものである。これによれば、連続変動演出における変動演出の実行回数が多いほど当りとなる割合が高まることから、変動演出の実行回数に期待を伴って注目させることができる。
（解決手段３）
前記変動表示パターン決定手段は、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が当りである場合に、前記抽選手段の抽選結果が外れである場合よりも高い割合で変動時間が長く設定された変動表示パターンを決定するものであり、前記連続変動演出決定手段は、前記連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定される際に、前記変動表示パターンに設定された変動時間が長いほど、前記変動演出の実行を継続させることを特徴とする解決手段１または解決手段２記載の遊技機。
解決手段３記載の遊技機によれば、抽選手段の抽選結果が当りである場合に、抽選手段の抽選結果が外れである場合よりも高い割合で変動時間が長く設定された変動表示パターンを決定するものである。すなわち、抽選手段の抽選結果が当りであるにも関わらず、期待度演出における特定の演出部が実行される前段階において、遊技者が期待のもてない演出部の演出時間が長くなる傾向にある。しかしながら、連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定される際に、変動表示パターンに設定された変動時間が長いほど、変動演出の実行を継続させるものであり、遊技者が期待のもてない演出部を、変動演出の実行回数が多い連続変動演出に差替えて実行することができる。また、連続変動演出における変動演出の実行回数が多いほど当りとなる割合が高まることから、変動演出の実行回数に期待を伴って注目させることができる。
（解決手段４）
前記連続変動演出決定手段は、前記連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定される際に、前記連続変動演出の演出時間が同一でありながら前記変動演出の実行回数を異ならせた演出が用いられることを特徴とする解決手段１乃至解決手段３のいずれかに記載の遊技機。
解決手段４記載の遊技機によれば、連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定される際に、連続変動演出の演出時間が同一でありながら変動演出の実行回数を異ならせた演出が用いられている。これによれば、変動表示パターンに設定された所定の変動時間の一部である連続変動演出の演出時間が限られながら、多種類の変動演出の実行回数からなる連続変動演出を実行することができる。すなわち、変動表示パターンに設定された所定の変動時間（期待度演出の演出時間）を保持することから、演出内容が間延びすることなく、変動演出の実行回数を異ならせた連続変動演出を実行することができる。
（解決手段５）
前記期待度演出決定手段は、前記連続変動演出決定手段により前記連続変動演出を実行する旨が決定された場合に、前記期待度演出において前記複数の装飾図柄列の変動が開始された後から当該期待度演出が終了されるまでの部分に前記連続変動演出が入れ込まれた態様からなる非特別期待度演出に決定する非特別期待度演出決定手段を有するものであり、前記期待度演出表示制御手段は、前記非特別期待度演出決定手段により前記非特別期待度演出を実行する旨が決定された場合に、前記連続変動演出にて前記有効ライン上に前記リーチ状態が停止されないことを契機として、前記期待度演出を終了する表示制御を行うことを特徴とする解決手段１乃至解決手段４のいずれかに記載の遊技機。
解決手段５記載の遊技機によれば、非特別期待度演出決定手段により非特別期待度演出を実行する旨が決定された場合に、連続変動演出にて有効ライン上にリーチ状態が停止されないことを契機として、期待度演出を終了させるものである。これによれば、連続変動演出が実行されたとしても、結果として有効ライン上にリーチ状態が停止されるとは限らず、特定の演出部が展開されないこともある。すなわち、連続変動演出は、結果によってはそのまま期待度演出を終了させることもあり、特定の演出部が展開されるか否かの択一の演出とすることができる。
（解決手段６）
各々の装飾図柄が対応付けられた複数種類の常時演出のうちいずれかの常時演出を順次決定する常時演出決定手段と、前記期待度演出とは別個に、前記演出表示装置の表示領域にて前記常時演出決定手段に決定された常時演出を表示させる常時演出表示制御手段と、を備え、前記期待度演出表示制御手段は、前記演出表示装置の表示領域にて前記常時演出に対応する装飾図柄が視認可能となるように前記複数の装飾図柄列の変動を仮停止させるのを契機として、前記連続変動演出へと進行する表示制御を行うことを特徴とする解決手段１乃至解決手段５のいずれかに記載の遊技機。
解決手段６記載の遊技機によれば、演出表示装置の表示領域にて常時演出に対応する装飾図柄が視認可能となるように複数の装飾図柄列の変動を仮停止させるのを契機として、連続変動演出へと進行させるものである。これによれば、複数の装飾図柄列の変動が停止するよりも前の段階では、有効ライン上にリーチ状態が停止するか否かだけでなく、常時演出に対応する装飾図柄が視認可能となるか否かにも注目させることができる。また、各々の装飾図柄に対応付けられた常時演出は、複数の装飾図柄列の変動と同一の表示領域に表示制御されることから、常時演出に対応する装飾図柄が視認可能となるように変動が仮停止されたか否かを判別する際に、遊技者の理解が困難とはならない。
Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 is shown as a gaming machine, but the gaming machine other than the pachinko machine, for example, a pachislot machine, a gaming machine that is a fusion of a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine, etc. The invention can be applied.
(Solution 1)
A start opening arranged in the game area and into which a game medium can enter, a ball entry state detection means for detecting that a game medium has entered the start opening, and detection of the game medium by the entry state detection means A lottery means for performing a lottery based on, a variable display pattern determining means for determining a variable display pattern in which a predetermined variable time is set based on a lottery result by the lottery means, a predetermined opening / closing operation, and When the open / close winning device that allows the game medium to win by changing to the open state and the lottery result of the lottery means win, the open / close winning device is changed to the open state to benefit the player Profit granting means for granting, an effect display device for displaying an effect image based on the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determining means, and a decorative symbol storage means for storing a plurality of types of decorative symbols As a combination of a plurality of decorative symbols stopped in the display area of the effect display device, when the lottery result of the lottery means is a win, the combination of the specific decorative symbols is determined, while the lottery result of the lottery means is The final stop symbol determining means for determining a combination of decorative symbols that is not a combination of the specific decorative symbols if it is off, and the effect display based on the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determining unit Decorative symbol variation control means for changing the plurality of decorative symbols in the display area of the apparatus and stopping the variation with the stop symbol of the decorative symbol corresponding to the determination result of the final stop symbol determining means, and the benefit is given Based on the expectation effect storage means for storing a plurality of kinds of expectation effects indicating the expectation degree, and the variation display pattern determined by the variation display pattern determination means. The expectation effect determining means for determining the expectation effect associated with the variation display pattern among the plurality of types of expectation effects and the variation of the plurality of decorative symbols by the decorative symbol variation control means And an expectation effect display control means for performing display control of the expectation effect determined by the expectation effect determining means, wherein the plurality of decorative symbols are stopped in the reach state in the expectation effect storage means After that, the expectation effect that can be advanced from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode is stored, and the specific effect mode is more than the expectation effect that does not include the specific effect mode. The expected degree effect included is set so that the expected degree to which the profit is given is set higher, and the expectation degree effect display control means has the plurality of decorative symbols fluctuate multiple times. As if to perform a fluctuating effect that fluctuates the plurality of decorative symbols, and executes a continuous fluctuating effect that continues execution of the fluctuating effect according to the combination of the plurality of decorative symbols. As the expectation effect including the specific effect mode and the continuous variation effect execution means, the portion between the start of the change of the plurality of decorative symbols and the execution of the specific effect mode A special expectation effect execution means capable of executing a special expectation effect effect comprising an aspect in which a continuous fluctuation effect is inserted, and when the continuous fluctuation effect is executed by the continuous fluctuation effect execution means, The number of times that the execution of the variation effect is continued is the same, and the execution time of the continuous variation effect is made different. In the case where the continuous variation effect is not executed as the expectation effect including the aspect, after the reach state is stopped, the display control proceeds from the normal effect aspect to the specific effect aspect, In the case where the special expectation effect execution means executes the special expectation effect, the specific effect is performed without executing the normal effect mode after the reach state is stopped by the continuous variation effect. A game machine characterized by performing display control to proceed to an aspect.
Here, the specific effect mode in the expectation level effect is a final effect mode (for example, in a configuration in which a normal effect is developed to a development effect after a normal change in a multi-stage effect mode, development is performed). The expectation degree effect is set so that the longer the effect time, the higher the degree of expectation and the higher the degree of expectation. In addition, when a plurality of types of specific production modes having different degrees of expectation are prepared, it may be possible to execute a continuous variation production for the expected productions including all the specific production modes. Of these, the effect described later can be remarkably achieved by enabling the continuous variation effect to be executed with respect to the expectation effect including a specific effect aspect with a high expectation.
In addition, the continuous variation effect is inserted into a portion between the start of the variation of a plurality of decorative symbols in the expectation effect including the specific effect aspect and the execution of the specific effect aspect. It is desirable from the timing before and after the corresponding reach state is stopped after the variation of the decorative pattern is started. That is, when the special expectation degree effect is executed, the timing at which the reach state is stopped is shifted to the end of the continuous variation effect. In addition, as a trigger for starting the continuous variation effect, for example, the variation is caused by temporarily stopping display with a variation of a plurality of decorative symbols (decorative symbols that are not combinations of specific decorative symbols). However, even if the display is stopped and displayed in a stopped pattern, it can be configured that a continuous variation effect is expected to be executed. In addition, before and after the start of the continuous variation effect, the player is notified of the start of the continuous variation effect by using a configuration in which the variation of multiple decorative symbols is continued without being temporarily stopped, or by character information that is separate from the variation. Such a configuration may be adopted.
According to the gaming machine described in the solving means 1, the expectation degree effect display control means for performing display control of the expectation degree effect determined by the expectation degree effect determining means in accordance with the variation of the plurality of decoration symbols by the decoration symbol change control means. The expectation effect storage means stores an expectation effect that can be advanced from a normal effect mode to a specific effect mode after a plurality of decorative symbols are stopped in a reach state, The expectation level effect including the specific effect mode is set so that the expectation level to which the profit is given is higher than the expectation level effect not including the specific effect mode. That is, in the normal performance mode, which is a stage before the specific performance mode is executed in the expectation level performance, the player will not be in a state where the expectation for profit provision is enhanced unless the specific performance mode is developed. However, this is not a promising production mode. On the other hand, the continuous variation effect is to execute a variation effect that fluctuates a plurality of decorative symbols as if the plurality of decorative symbols fluctuate a plurality of times, and the plurality of decorative symbols become a combination of a predetermined decorative symbol. Accordingly, the execution of the variation effect is continued. When this continuous fluctuation effect is executed, the reach state is stopped multiple times, and the reach state is stopped as a result. Can gradually increase. In addition, after the reach state is stopped by the continuous variation effect, the specific effect mode is developed without executing the normal effect mode, so that the continuous variation effect is an effect that the player can expect. be able to. In addition, when the continuous variation effect is executed by the continuous variation effect execution means, the number of times that the execution of the variation effect is continued is the same, and any one of a plurality of types of continuous variation effects with different execution times of the continuous effect Can be made executable.
In addition, as an expectation effect including a specific effect mode, from a mode in which a continuous variation effect is inserted into a portion between the start of the change of a plurality of decorative symbols and the execution of the specific effect mode The special expectation degree production becomes possible. That is, a normal performance mode in which a player is not expected until a specific performance mode is executed in an expectation level effect while holding a predetermined change time (expectation time of an expected level effect) set in the variable display pattern. Can be executed in place of the continuous variation effect that the player can expect. Therefore, while the continuous variation effect that the player can expect is executed, the predetermined variation time set in the variation display pattern (the effect time of the expectation effect) is held, so the content of the effect may be delayed. Absent. Further, by omitting a normal performance mode that the player cannot expect, an expected level performance in accordance with the player's interest is executed, and a decrease in the game entertainment can be suppressed.
(Solution 2)
The continuous variation effect determining means is higher than the case where the lottery result of the lottery means is out of place when the lottery result of the lottery means is a win when it is determined that the continuous variation effect is executed. The gaming machine according to Solution 1, wherein the execution of the variation effect is continued at a rate.
According to the gaming machine described in the solution means 2, when it is determined that the continuous variation effect is to be executed, when the lottery result of the lottery means is a win, it is higher than when the lottery result of the lottery means is out of place. The execution of the fluctuating effect is continued at a rate. According to this, since the rate of winning increases as the number of executions of the variation effect in the continuous variation effect increases, it is possible to pay attention to the number of executions of the variation effect with expectation.
(Solution 3)
When the lottery result of the lottery means is a win, the variable display pattern determining means determines a variable display pattern in which the fluctuation time is set to be longer at a higher rate than when the lottery result of the lottery means is out of place. The continuous variation effect determining means continues the execution of the variation effect as the variation time set in the variation display pattern becomes longer when it is determined that the continuous variation effect is to be executed. A game machine according to Solution 1 or Solution 2, wherein
According to the gaming machine described in the solution means 3, when the lottery result of the lottery means is a win, the variation display pattern in which the variation time is set longer at a higher rate than when the lottery result of the lottery means is out of place is determined. To do. That is, although the lottery result of the lottery means is a win, the stage time of the stage part that the player cannot expect in the stage before the specific stage part in the expectation stage stage is executed tends to be longer. However, when it is determined that the continuous variation effect is to be executed, the longer the variation time set in the variation display pattern, the longer the execution of the variation effect is continued. It is possible to replace the continuous production effect with a large number of executions of the production effect. Moreover, since the ratio which becomes a win increases, so that the frequency | count of execution of the fluctuation effect in a continuous fluctuation effect increases, it can be made to pay attention with expectation to the frequency | count of execution of a fluctuation effect.
(Solution 4)
When it is determined that the continuous variation effect is to be executed, the continuous variation effect determination means uses an effect in which the execution time of the variation effect is different while the effect time of the continuous variation effect is the same. A gaming machine according to any one of Solution 1 to Solution 3, wherein:
According to the gaming machine described in the solution means 4, when it is determined that the continuous variation effect is to be executed, the effect in which the number of executions of the variation effect is different while the effect time of the continuous variation effect is the same is used. Yes. According to this, it is possible to execute a continuous variation effect consisting of the number of executions of various types of variation effects while the effect time of the continuous variation effect that is a part of the predetermined variation time set in the variation display pattern is limited. it can. In other words, since the predetermined variation time set in the variation display pattern (the production time of the expectation effect) is held, the continuous variation effect in which the number of executions of the variation effect is different is executed without delaying the effect contents. be able to.
(Solution 5)
The expectation degree effect determining means, when it is determined by the continuous fluctuation effect determining means that the continuous fluctuation effect is to be executed, after the change of the plurality of decorative symbol sequences is started in the expectation degree effect. A non-special expectation degree effect determining means for determining a non-special expectation degree effect in a form in which the continuous variation effect is inserted in a portion until the expectation degree effect is finished, and the expectation degree effect display control When the non-special expectation effect determining means determines that the non-special expectation effect determination is to be executed, the means is triggered by the reach state not being stopped on the active line by the continuous variation effect. The gaming machine according to any one of Solution 1 to Solution 4, wherein display control is performed to end the expectation effect.
According to the gaming machine described in the solution means 5, when it is determined by the non-special expectation effect determining means to execute the non-special expectation effect, the reach state is not stopped on the active line by the continuous variation effect. As a trigger, the expectation level effect is terminated. According to this, even if the continuous variation effect is executed, the reach state is not necessarily stopped on the effective line as a result, and the specific effect unit may not be developed. That is, the continuous variation effect may end the expectation effect as it is depending on the result, and can be an alternative effect whether or not a specific effect part is developed.
(Solution 6)
Separately from the regular effect determination means for sequentially determining any regular effect among a plurality of types of regular effects associated with each decorative design, and the expectation degree effect, the display area of the effect display device A normal effect display control means for displaying the constant effect determined by the constant effect determining means, and the expectation effect display control means has a decorative pattern corresponding to the constant effect in the display area of the effect display device. Any one of Solution 1 to Solution 5, wherein display control is performed to advance to the continuous variation effect, triggered by temporarily stopping the variation of the plurality of decorative symbol sequences so as to be visible. The gaming machine described in 1.
According to the gaming machine described in the solution means 6, it is continuously triggered by temporarily stopping fluctuations of a plurality of decorative symbol sequences so that a decorative symbol corresponding to the permanent effect can be visually recognized in the display area of the effect display device. It is to be advanced to a fluctuating production. According to this, not only whether the reach state is stopped on the active line but also the decorative symbol corresponding to the regular presentation can be visually recognized before the change of the plurality of decorative symbol sequences stops. It can also be noted whether or not. In addition, since the regular effects associated with each decorative symbol are controlled to be displayed in the same display area as the variation of a plurality of decorative symbol sequences, the regular symbols corresponding to the permanent effects can be visually recognized. It is not difficult for the player to understand whether or not the game has been temporarily stopped.
