Although a pachinko gaming machine is shown as an example of a gaming machine, the present invention is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine, and may be another gaming machine such as a coin gaming machine, which starts after the execution condition of the variable display is satisfied. Any gaming machine may be used as long as the gaming machine controls the specific gaming state advantageous to the player when the display result of the variable display executed based on the establishment of the condition becomes the specific display result. .

[First Embodiment]
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. FIG. 2 is a hit type table.

  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, an extra 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 are provided. 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.

  The member that forms the extra ball tray (lower tray) 4 is configured in a stick shape (bar shape), for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower tray body (for example, the central portion of the lower tray). A stick controller 122 that can be held and tilted in a plurality of directions (front and rear, left and right) is attached. It should be noted that the stick controller 122 has a predetermined operation by performing a push-pull operation with a predetermined operation finger (for example, an index finger) while the player holds the operation rod of the stick controller 122 with an operation hand (for example, the left hand). A trigger button 125 (see FIG. 3) that can perform an instruction operation is provided, and a trigger sensor 121 (see FIG. 3) that detects a predetermined instruction operation by a push-pull operation or the like with respect to the trigger button 125 is provided inside the operation rod of the stick controller 122. Built-in). In addition, a tilt direction sensor unit 123 (see FIG. 3) for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod is provided in the lower pan body inside the stick controller 122 and the like. The stick controller 122 includes a vibrator motor 126 (see FIG. 3) for causing the stick controller 122 to vibrate.

  A member that forms the hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3 is operated by a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the upper plate body (for example, above the stick controller 122). A possible push button 120 is provided. The push button 120 only needs to be configured to detect a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation from a player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically. A push sensor 124 (see FIG. 3) that detects the player's operation action performed on the push button 120 may be provided inside the upper plate body at the position where the push button 120 is installed. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 1, the mounting positions of the push button 120 and the stick controller 122 are in a vertical positional relationship in the central portion of the upper plate and the lower plate. On the other hand, it is good also considering the attachment position of the push button 120 and the stick controller 122 as the position approached to either right or left in the upper plate and the lower plate, maintaining the vertical relationship. Alternatively, the attachment positions of the push button 120 and the stick controller 122 are not in the vertical relationship, but may be in the horizontal relationship, for example.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the push button 120 and the stick controller 122 having the trigger button 125 are provided as an example of the operation means that can be operated by the player is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of the push button 120 and the stick controller 122 may be provided as the operation means. Further, as the operation means, other operation means such as a lever switch and a jog dial may be provided.

  An effect display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided near the center of the game area 7. On the display screen of the effect display device 9, there is an effect symbol display area for performing variable display of the effect symbols synchronized with the variable display (also referred to as 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. In the effect symbol display area, there is 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 the 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. When the variation 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 variation display, so that the progress of the game can be easily grasped. .

  Further, in the effect display device 9, symbols other than the symbol that will be the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol of the left and right middle symbols) have continued for a predetermined time, and the jackpot symbol (for example, the left middle right symbol is aligned with the same symbol) Stops, swings, scales, or deforms in a state that matches the symbol combination), or multiple symbols fluctuate synchronously in the same symbol, or the position of the display symbol is switched Thus, an effect performed in a state where the possibility of occurrence of a big hit (hereinafter, these states are referred to as reach states) before the final result is displayed is referred to as reach effect. Further, the reach state and its state are referred to as a reach mode. Furthermore, the fluctuation display including the reach effect is referred to as reach fluctuation display. And when the display result of the symbol variably displayed on the effect display device 9 is not a big hit symbol, it becomes “out” and the variation display state ends. The player plays the game while enjoying how to generate the big hit.

  Here, in the reach state, when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 9 constitute a part of the jackpot combination, the change of the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed is continued. This is a display state in which all or part of the effect symbols are synchronously changing while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. In other words, reach means a state in which identification information constitutes a specific display result in a plurality of variable display areas, but at least some of the variable areas are in variable display. In this embodiment, the reach state is formed, for example, in a state where the same symbol is stopped in the left and right symbol display areas and the symbol is not stopped in the middle symbol display area. The symbols stopped in the left and right symbol display areas when the reach state is formed are called reach formation symbols or reach symbols.

  The display effect in the reach state is reach effect display (reach effect). In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (effect design etc.)) or a display mode (for example, a color etc.) of the background image of the effect display device 9 is displayed. ) May change. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, some reach is set so that a big hit is likely to occur when it is executed, compared to a normal reach (normal reach). Such a special reach is called super reach. In addition, the reach includes a normal reach, which is a basic reach, as a reach other than a special super reach. Normal reach is set so that big hits are less likely to occur when executed than super reach.

  In this embodiment, in the super reach, after the reach symbol is formed, after displaying a predetermined moving image (for example, a moving image such as a predetermined character moving image), in the final effect display before displaying and displaying the display result A complicated effect display that improves the player's expectation, such as an effect of scrolling a medium effect symbol during fluctuation, is executed. Also, in normal reach, after the reach symbol is formed, the type of background image (the image that constitutes the background of the symbol) is not different from the image that was displayed before reaching the reach state without displaying the aforementioned moving image. A relatively simple presentation display is executed. In such a normal reach, for example, in the scroll state before the stop display of the final stop symbol of the middle symbol, for example, the effect of decelerating the variable display speed from the symbol before any symbol number (number of symbol arrangements) such as three symbols before As a result, the final effect display before the display result derivation display is performed. In the normal reach, other effect display may be performed.

  On the right side of the effect display device 9, there is provided a first special symbol display (first variation display unit) 8a for variably displaying the first special symbol as identification information for identifying each. The first special symbol display 8a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying special symbols such as numbers 0 to 9. Further, on the right side of the effect display device 9 (next to the right of the first special symbol display 8a), a second special symbol display (second display) that variably displays each second special symbol as identification information that can be identified. Fluctuation display portion) 8b 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 special symbols such as numbers 0 to 9.

  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.

  Although this embodiment shows a case where two special symbol indicators 8a and 8b are provided, the gaming machine may be provided with only one special symbol indicator.

  In the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition (first execution condition) or the second start condition (second execution condition) which is the execution condition of the variation display is established (for example, the game ball is After passing through the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14 as a start winning area (including winning), a variable display start condition (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0) The first special symbol and the second special symbol are not displayed in a variable display, and the big hit game is not executed), and the variable display time (variable time) is set. When the time elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that the passing of a game ball means that the game ball has passed through a predetermined area such as a prize opening or a gate, and that includes a game ball entering (winning) a prize opening. It is. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information). In addition, the variable display in which the start condition is not yet established even though the game ball has entered the start area such as the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 is within a predetermined upper limit range. Storing information is called pending storage. The term “holding storage” is also used when indicating (specifying) information stored on hold. Further, information related to the hold storage is called hold storage information.

  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. Accordingly, 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.

  Above the second special symbol display 8b, there is a second special symbol hold memory display 18b comprising four displays for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning opening 14, that is, the second reserved memory number. Is provided. The second special symbol storage memory display 18b increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 every time there is an effective start winning. And whenever the fluctuation | variation display by the 2nd special symbol display 8b is started, the number of the indicators to light is reduced by one.

  Further, above the second special symbol hold memory display 18b, the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13, that is, the first hold memory number (the hold memory is also referred to as start memory or start prize memory). ) Is displayed, a first special symbol reservation storage display 18a is provided. The first special symbol storage memory indicator 18a increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 8a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  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 port 13 and is detected by the first start port switch 13a, if the variation display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, The first start condition that enables the display of the variation of one special symbol is established), the first special symbol display 8a starts the variation display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the effect display device 9 In step S, the variation display of the effect design is started. That is, the change display of the first special 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 condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning port 14 and is detected by the second start port switch 14a, if the variation display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 2) The second start condition that allows the variable symbol display to start is established), the second special symbol display unit 8b starts the variable display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the effect display device 9 In step S, the variation display of the effect design is started. That is, the change display of the second special 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.

  The effect display device 9 is for decoration (for effects) during the variable display time of the first special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 8a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol by the second special symbol indicator 8b. The effect symbol as a symbol is displayed in a variable manner. The change display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b and the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 recalls the jackpot as the jackpot display result. Such a combination of effect symbols is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, a total number (total number of reserved memories) that is the sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number based on the reserved memory information is displayed on the lower part of the display screen of the effect display device 9 as a reserved memory image ( A summed hold memory display unit 18c (also referred to as a hold memory display) is provided. In the total hold storage display unit 18c, the hold storage number can be specified by the display number of predetermined images as the hold storage display (by displaying the hold storage images one by one corresponding to each of the hold storage information. , The number of reserved storage is specified.) Is displayed. As described above, in this embodiment, the total pending storage display unit 18c that displays the total number is provided, so that it is easy to grasp the total number of execution conditions that have not met the variable display start condition. can do.

  In addition, a corresponding display area 60 is provided on the left side of the summed hold storage display unit 18 c at the lower part of the display screen of the effect display device 9. The correspondence display area 60 is an area in which display corresponding to the variation display (hereinafter referred to as correspondence display) is executed during the variation display, and a notice according to the expectation that the variation display becomes a super reach or a big hit. An effect indicating is performed. In such a corresponding display area 60, the hold storage image (holding storage information) displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c is moved (shifted) into the corresponding display area 60 in response to the change display, and the change display is supported. The displayed effect is executed. Thus, by forming the corresponding display area 60, the player can know the expected degree of jackpot for the variable display to be executed based on the contents of the display effect displayed in the corresponding display area 60.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a special variable winning ball device 20 is provided below the variable winning ball device 15. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes an opening / closing plate, and when the specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and the specific display result (big hit symbol) on the second special symbol display 8b. 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.

  In the big hit gaming state, repeated continuous control is performed in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 repeats an open state and a closed state. In the repeated continuation control, a state where the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened is called a round. Thus, the repeated continuation control is also called round control. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of jackpots are provided. When it is determined that a jackpot is to be made, one of the jackpot types is selected.

  On the left side of the effect display device 9, there is provided a normal symbol display 10 for variably displaying normal symbols that can be distinguished from each other. In this embodiment, the normal symbol display 10 is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) that can display numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner. That is, the normal symbol display 10 is configured so as to variably display numbers (or symbols) of 0 to 9. The small display is formed in a square shape, for example.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the display variation of the normal symbol display 10 is started. When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (a winning symbol, for example, a symbol “7”), the variable winning ball device 15 is closed in a disadvantageous state for a player for a predetermined number of times. To an open state advantageous to the player. 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. Then, each time the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of LEDs to be lit is reduced by one.

The movable display device 96 is operated upward or downward (ascending or descending) by a movable display motor 97 housed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, thereby producing an effect display from the housed position in the pachinko gaming machine 1. It is possible to perform an ascending operation that appears at the front position of the device 9 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an appearance position) and a descending operation that is stored in the storage position below the front position of the effect display device 9. is there.

  The movable display device 96 is interlocked and connected to an elevating device (not shown) driven by a movable display motor 97, and is moved up and down between the storage position and the appearance position as described above by the elevating operation by the elevating device. Be moved. As a result, the movable display device 96 can exist at either a position that is visible to the player or a position that is not visible to the player. In addition, about the movable display apparatus 96, it is good also as a structure which can visually recognize both the above storage positions and appearance positions. Further, the movable display device 96 may be configured so that the route between the storage position and the appearance position can also be visually recognized. In addition, the storage position of the movable display device 96 is not visible, but the path between the storage position and the appearance position may be visible.

  The movable display device 96 is configured by a liquid crystal display device (LCD) that is smaller than the effect display device 9, and can display various images such as effect images.

  In this embodiment, the effect display device 9 will be described with reference to an example using a liquid crystal display device.

A source may be used.

  In addition, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter also simply referred to as “card unit”) that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (not shown).

  In the hit type table of FIG. 2, for each hit type in the big hit, the big hit probability after the end of the big hit gaming state, the base after the end of the big hit gaming state, the variation time after the end of the big hit gaming state, the number of releases in the big hit ( The number of rounds) and the opening time of each round are shown. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, as the jackpot gaming state with different numbers of rounds, a plurality of types of jackpot gaming states of 15 rounds of jackpot gaming state and two rounds of jackpot gaming state are provided.

  Specifically, in the 15-round big hit game state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened, a predetermined open state end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) has elapsed in the open state). Alternatively, the closed state is established in response to the establishment of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls in which a winning ball is generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of releases in the big hit gaming state reaches 15 rounds (final round), which is a predetermined upper limit value.

  Also, in the two-round big hit gaming state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is in the open state, a predetermined open state end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 0.5 seconds) has elapsed in the open state) Alternatively, the closed state is established in response to the establishment of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls in which a winning ball is generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of times of opening in the big hit gaming state reaches two rounds (final round) at which a predetermined upper limit value is reached.

  In this way, the big win of 2 rounds is allowed up to the number of times of opening the big prize opening is less than 15 rounds (2 times in this embodiment), but the opening time of the big prize opening is short (for example, 0 .5 seconds) type of jackpot (type). In the case of the present embodiment, as a big hit of two rounds, the opening time of the grand prize opening is extremely short (0.5 seconds), and it is substantially impossible to win the big prize opening. In addition, there is a win where a prize ball (a prize ball paid out for winning) cannot be obtained.

  In addition, as a big hit of two rounds, it is possible to provide only a hit where a prize ball cannot be obtained, or only a hit where a prize ball can be obtained. Both a win and a win from which a prize ball can be obtained may be provided.

  Among the “big hits”, after being controlled to the big hit game state of 15 rounds or 2 rounds, the probability that the special game state is determined to be a big hit compared to the normal state (the normal game state which is not the probability change state) A type of jackpot (type) that shifts to a high probability state (an abbreviation of a probability variation state, also referred to as a high probability state) is called “probability big hit”. In the present embodiment, the 15-round probability variation big hit is called “probability big hit”, and the 2-round probability variation big hit is called “surprising big hit” for the reason described later. In the present embodiment, the special gaming state is controlled to a time-short state in which the variation time (variation display period) of the special symbol or the production symbol is shortened from the non-time-short state in association with the probability variation state. There is. In addition, as a special game state, it may be controlled to a short time state independently of the probability variation state.

  In this way, the transition time to the short-time state reduces the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol. Therefore, when the short-time state is reached, it is easy for an effective start winning to occur, and a big hit game may be performed. Rise.

  Note that the type of jackpot (type) that does not shift to the probability change state after being controlled to the 15-round jackpot gaming state among the “hits” is called “ordinary jackpot”.

  Further, as the special game state, the frequency of the game ball entering the variable prize ball device 15 is increased by increasing the frequency that the variable prize ball device 15 is opened in association with the probability change state or the short time state. There are cases where the control is performed in an electric chew support control state that facilitates winning (higher approaching and higher frequency) in the variable winning ball apparatus 15. Since the electric chew support control state is a high base state as will be described later, in the following description, it is mainly referred to as a high base state.

  Here, electric Chu support control will be described. As electric support control, normal symbol variation time (time from the start of variation display to display result derivation display time) is shortened and the display result is derived and displayed at an early stage (normal symbol shortening control), normal symbol The control to increase the probability that the stop symbol will be a winning symbol (ordinary symbol probability changing control), the control to increase the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 (opening time extension control), and the number of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 are increased. Control (opening number increase control) is performed. When such control is performed, the time ratio during which the variable winning ball device 15 is open is higher than when the control is not performed. As a result, the game ball is likely to start and win (the special symbol display devices 8a and 8b and the effect display device 9 are more likely to satisfy the variable display execution condition). Further, by increasing the winning frequency to the second starting winning port 14 by such control, a gaming state is achieved in which the frequency of establishment of the second starting condition and / or the frequency of execution of the variable display of the second special symbol is increased.

  The state in which the winning frequency to the second start winning opening 14 is increased by such electric Chu support control (high frequency state) is the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls according to the winning with respect to the number of shot balls. Since the ratio “base” is higher than when the control is not performed, it is called “high base state”. Further, when such control is not performed, it is called a “low base state”. Such control is control for facilitating winning in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 by supporting the winning with the variable winning ball apparatus 15, that is, the electric tulip, and is referred to as “electric chew support control”.

  In this embodiment, “high probability state (probability variation state)” and “low probability state (non-probability variation state)” are used as terms indicating the state of jackpot probability, and terms indicating a combination of base states are used. , “High base state (electric Chu support control state)” and “low base state (non-electric Chu support control state)” are used.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a term indicating a combination of the state of the big hit probability and the base state, “low accuracy low base state”, “low accuracy high base state”, and “high accuracy high base state” are used. Use. The “low probability low base state” is a state (normal state) indicating that the big hit probability state is a low probability state and the base state is a low base state. The “low probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the low probability state and the base state is the high base state. The “high probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the high base state.

  In this embodiment, when controlled to the high probability state, it is controlled to the short time state and the high base state, but the short time state and the high base state have the same control start condition and end condition, The state of being controlled to the short time state and the high base may be represented by the term of the short time state, and may be represented by the term of the high base state.

  As shown in FIG. 2, as the big hit of 15 rounds, a plurality of types of big hits, a normal big hit and a probable big hit, are provided. In addition, as the big hit of the two rounds, a sudden probability variation big hit (hereinafter referred to as an abbreviated big hit) is provided.

  The normal jackpot is a jackpot that is controlled to the non-probability changing state, the short time state, and the high base state (low probability high base state) after the end of the 15 rounds of the big hit gaming state. Normally, in the big hit, the condition that the low-accuracy base state is executed a predetermined number of times, such as 100 times of fluctuation display, or the condition that the next big hit occurs, whichever comes first is established. It continues for a period until.

  The probability variation jackpot is a jackpot in which control is performed to shift to the probability variation state, the time-short state, and the high base state (high probability high base state) after the end of the 15 rounds of the jackpot gaming state. In the probabilistic big hit, such a high-precise base state is satisfied, whichever is earlier, a condition that the fluctuation display is executed a predetermined number of times of 100 times or a condition that the next big hit occurs. It continues for a period until.

  The sudden hit big hit is a big hit in which, after the end of two rounds of the big hit gaming state, control is performed to shift to a probability changing state, a short time state, and a high base state (highly accurate high base state). In sudden big hit, such a high-precise base state is satisfied, whichever comes first, the condition that the fluctuation display is executed a predetermined number of times of 100 times, or the condition that the next big hit occurs. It continues for a period until.

  In the big hit, the number of rounds is small (twice) and the opening of the big prize opening is very short (open for 0.5 seconds). When notifying that it has become, it is possible to make it appear to the player as if it has suddenly become a probable change state, which is called a “sudden probability change big hit”. Further, “suddenly probable big hit” is sometimes called “absolute accuracy”. In the big hit game state, the winning big hit is a hit where the winning for the first prize opening is not obtained and the winning ball is not obtained because the half-second opening is performed only twice. Further, instead of a sudden big hit, a two-round probable big hit in which a big winning opening is opened in an open pattern in which a winning ball is substantially obtained may be provided.

  In addition to the big hit, a small hit that opens the big winning opening may be provided by an opening pattern based on the number of times of opening and the opening time similar to the sudden big hit. When a small hit is made, after the small hit gaming state, both the big hit probability and the base are not changed from those before the start of the small hit gaming state. If such a small hit is provided, when it is not informed whether or not the probability change state has been made after the end of each hit gaming state of the sudden hit big hit and the small hit, seeing the open pattern, Even when the player recognizes which one has been executed, there are two types of hits that result in the same opening pattern, so it is difficult for the player to know whether or not it is in a probabilistic state. Even when the probability variation state is not actually set, the player's sense of expectation for the probability variation state can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved.

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 (special symbol process flag, etc.) corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means, and data indicating the number of unpaid winning balls are stored in the backup RAM.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 54. Therefore, 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.

  The random number circuit 503 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to make a big hit based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 503 updates the numerical data according to the set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and generates the random data at random timing. Based on the fact that the starting winning time is the time of reading (extracting) the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the read numerical data becomes a random value.

The VDP 109 controls display of the effect display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100. The VDP 109 controls display of the movable display device 96 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100. The VDP 109 includes a VDP for image display control in the effect display device 9 and a VDP for image display control in the movable display device 96. The control microcomputer 100 performs display control in a control mode in which an image displayed on the effect display device 9 and an image displayed on the movable display device 96 are controlled independently by executing separate control processes. There are cases in which display control is performed in a control mode in which images displayed in these are controlled in parallel by executing a common control process.

  The effect control microcomputer 100 provides an effect control command for instructing effect contents from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77 that allows signals to pass only in one direction from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing each random number. FIG. 4 shows the type of random number, the update range, the usage, and the addition condition. Each random number is used as follows.

  (1) Random R: A random counter for hit determination for determining whether or not to make a big hit. Random R is updated one by one at 10 MHz, is added and updated from 0, and is added and updated to its upper limit of 65535, and then is added and updated again from 0. (2) Random 1 (MR1): Determines the type of jackpot (any type of type, normal jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or sudden hit jackpot) and jackpot symbol (for jackpot type determination, jackpot symbol determination). (3) Random 2 (MR2): The type (type) of the variation pattern is determined (for variation pattern type determination). (4) Random 3 (MR3): A variation pattern (variation time) is determined (for variation pattern determination). (5) Random 4 (MR4): Determines whether or not to generate a hit based on the normal symbol (for normal symbol hit determination). (6) Random 5 (MR5): An initial value of random 4 is determined (for determining a random 4 initial value).

  In this embodiment, the big hit that is the specific gaming state includes a plurality of types of normal big hit, probability variation big hit, and sudden hit big hit. Therefore, when the big hit is determined based on the value of the big hit determination random number (random R), the big hit type is determined based on the value of the big hit type determination random number (random 1). Determined by type. Furthermore, when the type of jackpot is determined, the jackpot symbol is also determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random 1) at the same time. Therefore, random 1 is also a jackpot symbol determining random number.

  In addition, the variation pattern is first determined using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and is included in the determined variation pattern type using the variation pattern determination random number (random 3). To determine the variation pattern. Thus, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is determined by a two-stage lottery process. The variation pattern type is a group of a plurality of variation patterns according to the characteristics of the variation mode. One or more variation patterns belong to the variation pattern type.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern is classified into a normal variation pattern type that is a variation pattern type that does not involve reach and a reach variation pattern type that includes a reach variation pattern type (including normal reach and super reach). Has been.

  When the display result is out of order, such a variation pattern type is set so that the selection ratio of the variation pattern type is different depending on whether it is in the short-time state or not in the short-time state. When this is the case, the variation time is shortened compared to when the time is not short. For example, in the short-time state, in order to shorten the average time of the fluctuation time compared to when not in the time-short state, the ratio of the fluctuation pattern type having the shortest fluctuation time among the fluctuation pattern types is set to be higher As a result, the average time of the fluctuation time is shorter than when the time is not short. In addition, the variation time is shortened in the same type of variation pattern (for example, normal variation) when the time-short state (for example, 3 seconds) is shorter than for the time-short state (for example, 7 seconds). Shorter.

  In addition, such a variation pattern type is less than the predetermined number when the number of reserved memories of the special symbol for which the variation is displayed (the total number of reserved memories of the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is a predetermined number or more. When the number of reserved memories of each special symbol that is variably displayed is greater than or equal to a predetermined number by setting the selection ratio to be different from a certain time, and when the number of reserved memories of each special symbol is less than the predetermined number In comparison, the number-of-holds reduction control in which the variation time is shortened may be executed. For example, in the hold number shortening control state, it is set so that the rate at which the variation pattern type with a short variation time such as the normal variation pattern type is selected is higher than in the non-holding number shortening control state. You may make it the average time of a fluctuation | variation time become short compared with the time of not being a holding number shortening control state. Further, in the hold number reduction control, the change time itself of the change pattern type may be shortened even when the same change pattern type is selected as compared with the case where the hold number reduction control state is not set.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot determination table and a jackpot type determination table. FIG. 5A is an explanatory diagram showing a jackpot determination table. The jackpot determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 54 and is a table in which a jackpot determination value to be compared with the random R is set. The jackpot determination table includes a normal (non-probability change) jackpot determination table used in a normal state (a gaming state that is not a probability change state, that is, a non-probability change state), and a probability change jackpot determination table used in a probability change state.

  Each value described in the left column of FIG. 5 (A) is set as a big hit determination value in the normal jackpot determination table, and is described in the right column of FIG. 5 (A) in the probability change big hit determination table. Each value is set as a big hit judgment value. The jackpot judgment value set in the jackpot judgment table at the time of probability change is the jackpot judgment value common to the jackpot judgment value set in the normal jackpot judgment table (referred to as the normal jackpot judgment value or the first jackpot judgment value). Due to the addition of the unique jackpot judgment value, a larger number (10 times the number of jackpot judgment values) than the probability change jackpot judgment table (referred to as the jackpot judgment value or the second jackpot judgment value at the time of probability change) is set. . As a result, the probability variation state is determined to be a big hit with a higher probability than the normal state.

  The CPU 56 extracts the count value of the random number circuit 503 at a predetermined time and compares the extracted value with the value of the jackpot determination random number (random R). The jackpot determination random number is shown in FIG. If it matches any of the jackpot determination values shown, it is decided to make a big jackpot (normal jackpot or probable big hit) for the special symbol. Note that the “probability” shown in FIG. 5A indicates the probability (ratio) of a big hit.

  FIGS. 5B and 5C are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. FIG. 5 (B) shows a case where a jackpot type is determined by using a holding memory (also referred to as a first holding memory) based on a game ball winning in the first start winning opening 13 (a variation display of the first special symbol is displayed). 1 is a first special symbol jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) used when In FIG. 5C, the jackpot type is determined by using a holding memory (also referred to as a second holding memory) based on a game ball having won the second starting winning port 14 (or the third starting winning port 17). It is a second special symbol jackpot type determination table used in the case (when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed).

  Each of the special symbol jackpot type determination tables of FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C is a random number (random 1) for determining the jackpot type when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol. ), The type of jackpot is determined as one of “normal jackpot”, “probable big hit”, or “probable jackpot”, and is also referred to for determining the jackpot symbol.

  In the first special symbol jackpot type judgment table of FIG. 5 (B), there are numerical values to be compared with the random 1 value, and judgments corresponding to “normal jackpot”, “probable variation jackpot”, and “crash jackpot”. Value (big hit type judgment value) is set. In the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 5 (C), there are numerical values to be compared with random 1 values, which are judgment values corresponding to “normal jackpot” and “probable variation jackpot” (jackpot type judgment). Value) is set.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, the big hit type determination value is also used as a determination value (big hit symbol determination value) for determining the big hit symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The determination value corresponding to “normal jackpot” is also set as the determination value corresponding to “3” of the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The determination value corresponding to “probable big hit” is also set as the determination value corresponding to “7” of the big hit symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The determination value corresponding to the “surprise big hit” is also set as the determination value corresponding to the big hit symbol “5” of the second special symbol.

  Using such a jackpot type jackpot type determination table, the CPU 56 determines the type corresponding to the jackpot type determination value that matches the random 1 value as the jackpot type and matches the random 1 value as the jackpot symbol. Determine the winning jackpot symbol. Thereby, the jackpot type and the jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot type are determined at the same time.

  In the first special symbol jackpot type determination table in FIG. 5 (B) and the second special symbol jackpot type determination table in FIG. 5 (C), the ratios determined for the jackpots that are in a high probability state are the same. The second special symbol jackpot type determination table has a higher ratio of selection of big hits (15 round big hits) with a larger number of rounds in the big hit gaming state than the first special symbol jackpot type determination table, and the jackpot game There is a high ratio of selecting big hits (15 round big hits) with a substantial number of possible winnings in the state. Therefore, when the second special symbol is a big hit than the first special symbol, the player has a higher degree of advantage with respect to winning the big prize opening (for example, there are substantially more rounds that can be won). The game is controlled to a big hit gaming state as an advantageous state.

  In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the sudden big hit is not selected in the second special symbol big hit type determination table of FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the second special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 5C, the abrupt big hit can be selected, but more accurate than the first special symbol jackpot type determination table of FIG. 5B. Data may be set so that the selection ratio for jackpots is low.

  Next, a variation pattern table used for selecting and determining the variation pattern of the special symbol and the effect symbol in the game control microcomputer 560 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a variation pattern table used for determining the variation pattern in a table format.

  In FIG. 6, (a) shows a determination table for when the normal state is shifted, and (b) shows a determination table for when the time-short state is shifted. Further, (c) shows a normal big hit determination table, and (d) shows a probability variation big hit determination table. Each determination table of FIGS. 6A to 6D is stored in the ROM 54, is selected according to the gaming state, and is used to determine (determine) the variation pattern type and variation pattern.

  The determination table shown in FIG. 6 includes a variation pattern type determination table that indicates the relationship between random 2 and the variation pattern type, and a variation pattern determination table that indicates the relationship between random 3 and each variation pattern for each variation pattern type. Including.

  In the column of “variation pattern type” or “variation pattern” in each table of FIG. 6, “normal” or “normal variation” indicates a normal variation pattern that does not reach.

  Further, “normal reach” in each table of FIG. 6 indicates a fluctuation pattern of normal reach that does not perform a particularly flashy effect when the reach state is reached. “Super Reach” indicates a variation pattern for performing a reach effect in which a special effect image is displayed when the reach state is reached.

  Further, as described above, “super reach” is a variation pattern in which the ratio selected when a big hit is higher than that of “normal reach” is high, and the reliability of the big hit is high. Furthermore, “super reach” is a variation pattern in which the variation time is longer than that of “normal reach” (for example, normal reach 10 seconds, super reach 30 seconds). Note that the codes A and B for normal reach and the codes A and B for super reach indicate the type of reach production, and the big hit is given by the relationship of normal reach A <normal reach B <super reach A <super reach B. It shows that the degree of expectation is high.

  “Out of” is a variation pattern in which the final display result of the variation display is a “out of” display result. “Normal jackpot” is a variation pattern in which the final display result of the variation display becomes a display result of “ordinary jackpot”. “Probability variation jackpot” is a variation pattern in which the final display result of the variation display becomes the display result of “probability variation big hit”.

  Based on these pieces of information, for example, the variation pattern “Super reach A out of range (30 seconds)” shown in the column of “variation pattern” is “ It is shown that this is a “variation pattern”.

  The column labeled “Random 2 Range” and “Variation Pattern Type” in the table of FIG. 6 has a function as a variation pattern type determination table section indicating the relationship between “Random 2 Range” and “Variation Pattern Type”. It is a column to show. For example, taking FIG. 6A as an example, a plurality of random 2 (1-251) values are included in each of a plurality of variation pattern types such as “normal”, “normal reach”, and “super reach”. It is divided into numerical ranges. For example, taking FIG. 6A as an example, if the random 2 value extracted at a predetermined timing matches one of the determination values assigned to 140 to 229 among the random values 1 to 251. Then, it is determined that the variation pattern type is “normal reach”.

In the table of FIG. 6, “Random 3 range” and “Fluctuation pattern” are described as functions of a variation pattern determination table that indicates the relationship between “Random 3 range” and “Variation pattern”. It is a column. The variation patterns shown corresponding to each type of variation pattern type determination table are variation patterns belonging to each type. For example, taking FIG. 6A as an example, the fluctuation pattern belonging to the type of “normal reach” is “normal reach A”.
“Out of” and “normal reach B out”.

All values of random 3 (1-220) are assigned to a plurality of numerical ranges in each of a plurality of variation patterns corresponding to each variation pattern type. For example, taking FIG. 6A as an example, when it is determined that the variation pattern type of “normal reach” is selected, random 3 extracted at a predetermined timing is 1 to 220 of random numbers 1 to 220. When it matches one of the determination values assigned to 140, the fluctuation pattern is “Normal reach A”.
It is determined that the fluctuation pattern of “out of range (10 seconds)” is used.

  When the variation display result for the first special symbol or the second special symbol is off, the determination table is selected as follows to determine the variation pattern. In the non-time-short state, when the variation display result is out of place, the normal state out-of-state determination table in FIG. 6A is selected. On the other hand, when the fluctuation display result is out of time in the time reduction state, the time reduction state determination table in FIG. 6B is selected. It should be noted that by using the determination tables of FIGS. 6A and 6B, the reach ratio at the time of deviation from the normal state and from the short-time state is constant regardless of the number of holds.

  In addition, when the variation display result is a big hit for the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of whether the time is short or not, the determination table is selected as follows in order to determine the variation pattern. When the fluctuation display result is a normal big hit, the normal big hit determination table of FIG. 6C is selected. When the fluctuation display result is a probable big hit regardless of whether the time is short or not, the probable big hit determination table of FIG. 6D is selected.

  The time fluctuation state determination table of FIG. 6B is a normal fluctuation whose fluctuation time is shorter than the reach fluctuation (including normal reach fluctuation and super reach fluctuation) compared to the normal state deviation time determination table of FIG. (Non-reach deviation fluctuation (variation that results in deviation display instead of reach)) is high, and the data is determined so that the percentage that is determined to reach fluctuation with longer fluctuation time than normal fluctuation is low. Is set. Further, as a variation pattern of the normal variation, a variation pattern having a shorter variation time is set in the short-time state deviation time determination table of FIG. 6B compared to the normal state deviation time determination table of FIG. .

  As a result, compared to the non-time-short state (normal state), the rate of change in the short-time state is higher in the time-short state, so the time-short state is the non-time-short state. The change display is performed with a change time shorter than that in the mean time. By selecting the determination table in this way, the time saving state can be realized. In addition, by setting the normal fluctuation so that the fluctuation time is shorter in the time-short state than in the non-time-short state, it is possible to shorten the pending digestion during the time-short state.

  In addition, in the determination tables shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B that are selected when there is a loss, the data is selected so that the selection ratio of the reach type is selected in a high and low relationship such that normal reach> super reach. Is set. On the other hand, in the determination tables of FIG. 6C and FIG. 6D that are selected when a big hit is made, the selection ratio of the reach type is selected in a high / low relationship such that normal reach <super reach. Data is set. As a result, the percentage of super reach reach production (the percentage of super reach reach production when a reach is selected) is higher when a big hit is made than when it is a loss. By performing the reach production, the player's expectation can be enhanced.

  In addition, the determination table shown in FIG. 6D that is selected when a promising big hit out of the big hits has a normal reach compared to the determination table shown in FIG. On the other hand, the data is set so that the ratio of selecting the type of super reach production is high. As a result, when the probability is a big hit, the ratio of the reach reach of the super reach (the ratio of the reach reach of the super reach when the reach is selected) is higher than the case of the normal big win. By performing the reach of reach, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for a promising big hit.

  Note that such a variation pattern is obtained when the total number of reserved storage (total value) of the first special symbol and the second special symbol that display variation is greater than or equal to a predetermined number (for example, the total number of reserved storage is 3 or more). By setting the selection ratio to be different from when the number is less than the predetermined number, when the total number of pending storage is greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the variation time is longer than when the total number of pending storage is less than the predetermined number It is also possible to execute the hold number shortening control for shortening. However, the expectation for reach can be maintained by keeping the ratio of reach (including normal reach and super reach) constant even under the condition that the hold number shortening control is executed (for example, the total number of stored holds is 3 or more). In addition, among the reach, only the super reach B may not be shortened, and the hold time reduction control may be executed. Furthermore, the short time control of the number of holdings may be executable by selecting a high rate of normal fluctuation with a short fluctuation time, or may be executable by shortening the fluctuation time of each fluctuation pattern itself, The combination may be used.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the effect control command transmitted by the game control microcomputer 560. FIG. 7 shows the relationship between specific command data for the effect control command, the name of the command, and the specified content of the command. In the game control microcomputer 560 for effect control commands, various effect control commands are transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 in accordance with the game control state, as shown in FIG.

  Main commands in FIG. 7 will be described. The command 80XX (H) is an effect control command (variation pattern command) for designating a variation pattern of the effect symbol that is variably displayed on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the variation display of the special symbol (each corresponding to the variation pattern XX). ). When a unique number is assigned to each of the plurality of variation patterns, there is a variation pattern command corresponding to each variation pattern specified by the number. “(H)” indicates a hexadecimal number. The effect control command for designating the variation pattern is also a command for designating the start of variation. Therefore, when receiving the command 80XX (H), the effect control CPU 101 controls the effect display device to start the effect symbol variation display.

  Commands 8C01 (H) to 8C04 (H) are display result designation commands indicating whether or not to make a big hit and the type of big hit.

  The command 8D01 (H) is a first symbol variation designation command indicating that the variation display of the first special symbol is started. Command 8D02 (H) is a second symbol variation designation command indicating that the variation display of the second special symbol is started. Command 8F00 (H) is a symbol confirmation designation command for designating the end of the variation of the first and second special symbols.

  The commands A001 to A003 (H) are jackpot start designation commands for designating the start of a big hit gaming state for each type of big hit (normal big hit, probability variation big hit, or sudden hit big hit).

  The command A1XX (H) is a special winning opening open designation command that indicates a display during opening of the special winning opening for the number of times (round) indicated by XX. A2XX (H) is a designation command after opening the big prize opening indicating the opening (closing) of the big prize opening of the number of times (round) indicated by XX.

  The commands A301 to A303 (H) are jackpot end designation commands for designating the end of the jackpot gaming state for each jackpot type (normal jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or sudden hit jackpot).

  Command A 401 (H) is a first start winning designation command for designating that the first starting win has been received. Command A 402 (H) is a second start winning designation command for designating that there has been a second start winning.

  Command B000 (H) is a normal state designation command for designating that the gaming state is a normal state (low probability state). Command B001 (H) is a short time state designation command for designating that the gaming state is the short time state (high base state). Command B002 (H) is a probability variation state designation command for designating that the gaming state is a probability variation state (high probability state).

  The command C0XX (H) is a total pending storage number designation command for designating the total number (total pending storage count) of the first pending storage count and the second pending storage count. “XX” in the command C0XX (H) indicates the total pending storage number. Command C100 (H) is an effect control command (total pending storage count subtraction designation command) that designates that 1 is added to the total pending storage count. In this embodiment, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits a total pending memory count subtraction designation command when subtracting the total pending memory count, but does not use the total pending memory count subtraction designation command. When subtracting the total pending storage number, a total pending storage number designation command for designating the total pending storage number after subtraction may be transmitted.

  In this embodiment, a case is shown in which a combined pending storage number designation command for designating the combined pending storage number is transmitted as a command for designating the reserved storage count. It may be configured to transmit a command for designating the increased number of reserved memories. Specifically, when the first reserved memory increases, a first reserved memory number designation command for designating the first reserved memory number is transmitted, and when the second reserved memory increases, the second reserved memory number is designated. The second reserved memory number designation command may be transmitted.

  In this embodiment, a start winning designation command for designating which one of the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 is won is transmitted as the hold storage information, and the total reserved storage number However, the effect control command transmitted as the hold storage information is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. For example, when the number of reserved memories increases, a reserved memory number addition designation command (first reserved memory number addition designation command or second reserved memory number addition) indicating that the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number has increased. When the reserved memory number decreases, the reserved memory number subtraction designation command (the first reserved memory number subtraction designation command or the command indicating that the first reserved memory number or the second reserved memory number has decreased) is transmitted. (Second reserved memory number subtraction designation command) may be transmitted.

  The command C2XX (H) and the command C3XX (H) are the results of winning determination results such as jackpot determination, jackpot type determination, variation pattern type determination, etc. at the time of starting winning to the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14. This is an effect control command indicating the contents. Of these, the command C2XX (H) is a symbol designating command indicating whether or not the winning determination result is a big hit and the determination result of the type of big hit. The command C3XX (H) is a variation type command that indicates a determination result (variation pattern type determination result) of which determination value range the random value for variation pattern type determination among the winning determination results. It is.

  In this embodiment, in the winning effect processing described later (see FIG. 12), whether or not the game control microcomputer 560 is a big hit at the start winning, whether the big hit type, the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern type Is within which range of determination values. Then, in the EXT data of the symbol designating command, a value for designating the big hit and a value for designating the type of the big win are set, and control for transmission to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed. Further, a value for designating a range of a judgment value as a judgment result of the fluctuation pattern type is set in the EXT data of the fluctuation type command, and control to transmit to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed. In this embodiment, the production control microcomputer 100 can recognize whether or not the display result is a big hit based on the value set in the symbol designating command, the type of the big hit, and based on the variation type command. Thus, the variation pattern type can be recognized.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the reserved storage buffer in the game control microcomputer 560.

  FIG. 8A is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a reserved storage specifying information storage area (holding specified area). The reserved specific area is formed in the RAM 55 (area in the RAM 55), and as shown in FIG. 8A, the maximum value of the total reserved memory number counter for counting the total number of reserved memories (in this example, 8). ) Is reserved. FIG. 8A shows an example in which the value of the total pending storage number counter is 5.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the reserved specific area is “first” or “second” in the order of winning based on winning to the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14. The indicated data is set. Therefore, data that can specify the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 is stored in the reserved specific area. Note that the reserved specific area is formed in the RAM 55.

  FIG. 8B is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a storage area (holding storage buffer) that stores a random number or the like corresponding to the holding storage. As shown in FIG. 8B, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value (4 in this example) of the first reserved storage number is secured in the first reserved storage buffer. In addition, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value of the second reserved storage number (4 in this example) is secured in the second reserved storage buffer. The first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer are formed in the RAM 55. The first reserved storage buffer and the second reserved storage buffer include a jackpot determination random number (random R) that is a hardware random number, a jackpot type determination random number (random 1) that is a software random number, and a variation pattern type determination random number. (Random 2) and random number for variation pattern determination (Random 3) are stored.

  Based on the winning at the first starting winning port 13 or the second starting winning port 14, the CPU 56 extracts such random number values from the random number circuit 503 and a random counter for generating a software random number, A process of saving (storing) in the saving area in the first pending storage buffer or the second pending storage buffer is executed. Specifically, on the basis of winning at the first start winning opening 13, these random number values are extracted and stored in the first reserved storage buffer. Further, based on the winning at the second start winning opening 14, these random number values are extracted and stored in the second reserved storage buffer.

  In this manner, storing the information related to the start winning as described above in the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer may be indicated as “hold stored”. Note that the random number for variation pattern type determination (random 2) and the random number for variation pattern determination (random 3) are not extracted at the time of starting winning and stored in advance in the storage area, but instead are stored in a variation pattern setting process (to be described later) You may make it extract at the time of the change of special symbols).

  As described later, the data stored in the hold specific area and the storage area as described above is read at the start winning prize and used for the pre-reading notice effect, and is read at the start of the variable display and used for the variable display. It is done.

  When there is a start prize at the first start prize port 13 or the second start prize slot 14, the main board 31 is made up of three commands, that is, a symbol designation command, a variation type command, and a total pending storage number designation command. To the effect control board 80. Various commands such as the received symbol designation command, variation type command, and total pending memory number designation command can be stored in association with each other in the start winning reception command buffer provided in the RAM 103 of the effect control microcomputer 100. In addition, a storage area for storing data that can identify the received command is secured.

  In this embodiment, the effect control pattern of the effect symbol performed in response to the variation display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol corresponds to a plurality of types of variation patterns, the variation display operation of the effect symbol, the reach It is composed of data indicating the contents of control of various effect operations, such as effect display operations in effects, etc., or various effect operations that are not accompanied by display changes of effect symbols. The notice effect control pattern includes data indicating the control content of the effect operation that becomes the notice effect executed corresponding to the notice pattern in which a plurality of patterns are prepared in advance. The various effect control patterns are composed of data indicating the control contents corresponding to various effect operations executed in accordance with the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the game control microcomputer 560 on the main board 31 executes a predetermined main process, a timer interrupt is periodically executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) and the timer interrupt process is executed. As a result, various game controls can be executed.

  In the main processing, for example, necessary initial setting processing, normal time initialization processing, game state restoration processing other than normal time, random number circuit setting processing (random number circuit 503 is initially set), display random number update processing (variation pattern) (Variable random number update processing such as type determination and variation pattern determination), initial value random number update processing (ordinary symbol determination random number generation counter initial value initial value update processing), and the like.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 executes the timer interrupt process of steps S (hereinafter simply referred to as “S”) 20 to S34 shown in FIG. In the timer interrupt process, first, a power-off detection process for detecting whether or not a power-off signal has been output (whether or not an on-state has been turned on) is executed (S20). Next, detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, and the count switch 23 are input via the input driver circuit 58, and their state is determined (switch processing: S21). .

  Next, the CPU 56 has a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, a normal symbol display 10, a first special symbol hold storage display 18a, a second special symbol hold storage display 18b, a normal symbol. A display control process for controlling the display of the on-hold storage display 41 is executed (S22). For the first special symbol display 8a, the second special symbol display 8b, and the normal symbol display 10, control for outputting a drive signal to each display according to the contents of the output buffer set in S32 and S33. Execute.

  Further, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a random number for normal symbol determination (random 4) and a big hit type determination random number (random 1) used for game control is performed ( Random number update process for determination: S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process of updating the count value of the random counter for generating the initial value random number (random 4 initial value determining random number, etc.) and the display random number (random 2, 3) (initial value). Random number update process, display random number update process: S24, S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol process (S26). In the special symbol process, a corresponding process is executed according to the first special symbol display 8a, the second special symbol display 8b, and a special symbol process flag for controlling the special winning award in a predetermined order. The value of the symbol process flag is updated according to the gaming state.

  Next, the normal symbol process is performed (S27). In the normal symbol process, the CPU 56 executes a corresponding process according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 in a predetermined order, and sets the value of the normal symbol process flag to the gaming state. Update accordingly.

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a process of transmitting an effect control command to the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control command control process: S28). Further, the CPU 56 performs an information output process for outputting data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes prize ball processing for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a and the count switch 23 (S30).

  In this embodiment, a RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. However, the CPU 56 relates to on / off of the solenoid in the RAM area corresponding to the output state of the output port. The contents are output to the output port (S31: output processing).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol display control processing for setting special symbol display control data for effect display of special symbols in an output buffer for setting special symbol display control data according to the value of the special symbol process flag ( S32).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs a normal symbol display control process of setting normal symbol display control data for effect display of the normal symbol in the output buffer for setting the normal symbol display control data according to the value of the normal symbol process flag ( S33). Further, the CPU 56 outputs a normal signal on the normal symbol display 10 by outputting a drive signal in S22 in accordance with the display control data set in the output buffer.

  Thereafter, the interrupt permission state is set (S34), and the process ends. With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every predetermined time.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the special symbol process (S26). In the special symbol process, a process for controlling the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b and the special winning opening is executed. In the special symbol process, a start port switch passing process is executed (S311). Then, any one of S300 to S307 is performed according to the internal state.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, the RAM 55 stores first storage data (first storage data) such as a jackpot determination random number obtained based on the start winning to the first start winning port 13. A storage buffer and a second reserved storage buffer for storing reserved storage data (second reserved storage data) such as a jackpot determination random number obtained based on the start winning to the second start winning opening 14 are provided. . In each of these reserved storage buffers, a storage area corresponding to the upper limit value (4 in this example) of the number of each reserved storage is secured.

  In the start port switch passing process, if the first start port switch 13a is turned on, the number of the first reserved memory data stored on the condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value (for example, 4). 1 is incremented by 1 and numerical data (for example, a big hit determination random number, a variation pattern type determination random number, and a variation pattern determination) are obtained from a random number circuit 503 or a counter for generating a software random number. (Random number for use) is extracted, and processing for storing (storing) them in the storage area in the first reserved storage buffer is executed. On the other hand, if the second start port switch 14a is on, the second reserved memory data is counted on the condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit (for example, 4). Increase the value of the pending storage number counter by 1 and extract numerical data (for example, a big hit determination random number, a variation pattern type determination random number, and a variation pattern determination random number) from the random number circuit 503 or a counter for generating a software random number Then, a process of storing (storing) them in the storage area in the second reserved storage buffer is executed.

  With respect to the following description regarding the hold storage, the fact that the information related to the start winning as described above is stored in the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer may be indicated as “hold stored”. In addition, numerical data stored in the first reserved storage buffer may be referred to as first reserved storage information, and numerical data stored in the second reserved storage buffer may be referred to as second reserved storage information.

  The processing of S300 to S307 is as follows. The special symbol normal process (S300) is a process for determining whether or not the display result of the variable display is a big hit, and determining the big hit type in the case of the big hit. In addition, when the change of the special symbol is started, an effect control command is transmitted to the effect control CPU 101 as a summed pending storage number subtraction designation command. In the variation pattern setting process (S301), the variation pattern is determined (the variation pattern type determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number are determined), and the variation time is measured according to the determined variation pattern. This is a process for performing control such as the start of timing of the fluctuation time timer.

  The display result designation command transmission process (S302) is a process for performing control to transmit a display result designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100. The special symbol changing process (S303) is a process that advances the process to the special symbol stop process when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern selected in the fluctuation pattern setting process elapses. The special symbol stop process (S304) displays the fluctuation display on the first special symbol display 8a or the second special symbol display 8b when the fluctuation time corresponding to the decided fluctuation pattern is timed by the fluctuation time timer. This is a process of stopping and deriving and displaying a stop symbol.

  The big winning opening opening pre-processing (S305) is a process of performing control for opening the big winning opening in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 according to the type of the big hit. In the special winning opening opening process (S306), the control for transmitting the production control command for the round display production in the big hit gaming state to the production control microcomputer 100 and the establishment of the closing condition of the special prize opening are confirmed. This is processing for performing processing and the like. If the closing condition for the big prize opening is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the process proceeds to the pre-opening process for the big prize opening (S305). When all the rounds are finished, the process shifts to a big hit end process (S307). The big hit end process (S307) is a process for performing control for causing the microcomputer 100 for effect control to perform display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the start-port switch passing process in S311. In the start winning determination process, the CPU 56 first checks whether or not the first start port switch 13a is in an ON state (S1211). If the first start port switch 13a is not in the ON state, the process proceeds to S1222. If the first start port switch 13a is on, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the first reserved memory number has reached the upper limit (specifically, the first reserved memory for counting the first reserved memory number). It is confirmed whether or not the value of the number counter is 4 (S1212). If the first reserved storage number has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to S1222.

  If the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value, the CPU 56 increases the value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 (S1213) and sets the value of the total reserved memory number counter for counting the total reserved memory number. Increase by 1 (S1214). Further, the CPU 56 adds up the total number of reserved storage counters in the reserved storage specifying information storage area (holding specified area) for storing the winning order to the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14 described in FIG. Data indicating “first” is set in the area corresponding to the value of (S1215).

  In this embodiment, when the first start opening switch 13a is turned on (that is, when a game ball starts and wins the first start winning opening 13), data indicating “first” is set, When the second start port switch 14a is turned on (that is, when a game ball starts and wins the second start winning port 14), data indicating “second” is set. For example, the CPU 56 sets 01 (H) as data indicating “first” when the first start port switch 13a is turned on in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area) shown in FIG. When the second start port switch 14a is turned on, 02 (H) is set as data indicating “second”. In this case, when there is no corresponding reserved storage, 00 (H) is set in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area).

  As shown in FIG. 8 (A), an area corresponding to the maximum value (8 in this example) of the value of the total reserved memory number counter is secured in the reserved specific area. Data indicating “first” or “second” is set in the order of winning based on winning in the 2 start winning opening 14. Therefore, the winning order to the first start winning port 13 and the second starting winning port 14 is stored in the hold memory specifying information storage area (hold specifying area).

  Next, the CPU 56 extracts values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers, and executes a process of storing them in a storage area in the first reserved storage buffer (see FIG. 8B) ( S1216). In the processing of S1216, a big hit determination random number (random R), a big hit type determination random number (random 1), a variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and a variation pattern determination random number (random 3) are extracted, Stored in the save area.

  Next, the CPU 56 executes a winning presentation process in which a variation display result and a variation pattern type when the variation based on the detected starting winning is executed is determined in advance at the starting winning (S1217). Then, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit a symbol designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the determination result of the winning effect processing (S1218), and transmits a variation type command to the effect control microcomputer 100. Control is performed (S1219). Further, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit the first start winning designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 (S1220), sets the value of the total pending storage number counter to EXT data, and outputs the total pending storage number designation command. Control to transmit to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed (S1221).

  By executing the processing of S1218 and S1219, in this embodiment, regardless of the gaming state (the gaming state such as high probability state, low probability state, high base state, low base state, jackpot gaming state, etc.) Each time the start winning prize is awarded to the start winning opening 13, both the symbol designating command and the variation type command are always transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100. In this embodiment, there is shown an example in which the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory are digested in the order of the start winning prizes and the variable display is executed. However, the second reserved memory as described later is the first. In a configuration in which control is performed to preferentially execute the variation display of the second special symbol over the reserved storage, the symbol designation command and the variation type command are transmitted only in the low base state. Also good. In the configuration in which the control for preferentially executing the variation display of the second special symbol is performed, the symbol designation command and the variation type command may be transmitted only in a low probability state. In the configuration in which the control for preferentially executing the variation display of the second special symbol is performed, the symbol designation command and the variation type command may be transmitted only in the low probability and low base state.

  In this embodiment, when the start winning to the first start winning opening 13 occurs by executing the processing of S1218 to S1221, the symbol designation command, the variation type command, the first start prize designation command A set of four commands, that is, a total pending storage number designation command, is transmitted in a batch within one timer interrupt.

  Next, the CPU 56 checks whether or not the second start port switch 14a is on (S1222). If the second start port switch 14a is not in the ON state, the process is terminated as it is. If the second start port switch 14a is in the ON state, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the second reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value (specifically, the second reserved memory for counting the second reserved memory number). Whether or not the value of the number counter is 4 is confirmed (S1223). If the second reserved storage number has reached the upper limit value, the processing is terminated as it is.

  If the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value, the CPU 56 increases the value of the second reserved memory number counter by 1 (S1224), and sets the value of the total reserved memory number counter for counting the total reserved memory number. Increase by 1 (S1225). In addition, the CPU 56 sets data indicating “second” in an area corresponding to the value of the total reserved storage number counter in the reserved storage specific information storage area (hold specific area) (S1226).

  Next, the CPU 56 extracts values from the random number circuit 503 and a counter for generating software random numbers, and executes a process of storing them in a storage area in the second reserved storage buffer (see FIG. 7B) (see FIG. 7B). S1227). In the processing of S1227, a big hit determination random number (random R), a big hit type determination random number (random 1), a variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and a variation pattern determination random number (random 3) are extracted. And stored in the storage area.

  Next, the CPU 56 executes winning effect processing (S1228). Then, the CPU 56 performs control for transmitting a symbol designation command to the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the determination result of the winning effect processing (S1229), and control for transmitting the variation type command to the effect control microcomputer 100. (S1230). Further, the CPU 56 performs control to transmit the second start winning designation command to the production control microcomputer 100 (S1231), sets the value of the total pending storage number counter to EXT data, and outputs the total pending storage number designation command. Control to transmit to the production control microcomputer 100 is performed (S1232).

  By executing the processing of S1229 and S1230, in this embodiment, regardless of the gaming state (gaming state such as high probability state, low probability state, high base state, low base state, jackpot gaming state, etc.), the CPU 56 Every time a start winning is made in the second start winning opening 14, both the symbol designating command and the variation type command are always transmitted to the production control microcomputer 100. In the configuration in which the second reserved memory is preferentially digested over the first reserved memory and control is performed to preferentially execute the variation display of the second special symbol, the symbol designation command and the variation type only in the high base state. You may make it perform transmission of a command. Further, in the configuration in which the second reserved memory is preferentially digested over the first reserved memory and the control for preferentially executing the variation display of the second special symbol is performed, the symbol designation command and the variation type are only in a high probability state. You may make it perform transmission of a command. Further, in the configuration in which the control for preferentially executing the variation display of the second special symbol is performed, the symbol designation command and the variation type command may be transmitted only in the highly accurate base state.

  In this embodiment, when the start winning to the second start winning opening 14 occurs by executing the processing of S1229 to S1232, the symbol designation command, the variation type command, the second start prize designation command A set of four commands, that is, a total pending storage number designation command, is transmitted in a batch within one timer interrupt.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the winning effect processing in S1217 and S1228. In the winning effect process, the CPU 56 first compares the jackpot determination random number (random R) extracted in S1216 and S1227 with the normal jackpot determination value shown in the left column of FIG. It is confirmed whether or not to perform (S220). In this embodiment, at the timing of starting the variation of the special symbol and the effect symbol, whether or not to make a big hit in the special symbol normal processing and the big hit type are determined, or the variation pattern (variation pattern type) is determined in the variation pattern setting processing. In addition, the display of the variation based on the start winning is started at the timing when the game ball starts to win the first starting winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14 separately. Before being awarded, the winning effect production process is executed to pre-read whether or not to win, and the type and variation pattern of the big win. By doing so, the variation display result is predicted in advance before the effect symbol variation display is executed, and the effect control CPU 101 changes the effect symbol based on the determination result at the time of winning, as will be described later. A pre-reading notice is executed to predict that a big hit will occur during the display (possibility of a big hit).

  In this embodiment, an example in which the pre-reading notice is executed for both the variable display of the first special symbol and the variable display of the second special symbol will be described. However, only the first special symbol is displayed during the low base state. The prefetch notice may be executed as a target, and the prefetch notice may be executed only for the second special symbol during the high base state.

  If the big hit determination random number (random R) does not match the normal big hit determination value (N in S220), the CPU 56 is set with a probability change flag indicating that the gaming state is a probability change state (high probability state). It is confirmed whether or not (S221). If the probability change flag is set, the CPU 56 compares the jackpot determination random number (random R) extracted in S1216 and S1227 with the jackpot determination value at the time of probability change shown in the right column of FIG. It is confirmed whether or not they match (S222).

  If the jackpot determination random number (random R) does not match the jackpot determination value at the time of probability change (N in S222), the CPU 56 performs a process of setting the EXT data indicating “displacement” in the symbol designation command ( S223). As a result, a symbol designating command indicating “displacement” is output at the time of starting winning.

  When the jackpot determination random number (random R) matches the jackpot determination value in S220 or S222, the CPU 56 determines the jackpot type based on the jackpot type determination random number (random 1) extracted in S1216 and S1227. (S224). In this case, when there is a start winning to the first start winning opening 13 (when executing the winning effect processing in S1217), the CPU 56 determines the big hit type determination table (first special) shown in FIG. It is determined whether the big hit type is “ordinary big hit” or “probable big hit”. When there is a start winning at the second start winning opening 14 (when the winning effect processing at S1228 is executed), the big hit type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. It is used to determine whether the big hit type is “normal big hit” or “probable big hit”.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs processing for setting the EXT data corresponding to the determination result of the jackpot type in the symbol designation command (S225). For example, when it is determined that “normal big hit” is obtained, the CPU 56 performs processing for setting EXT data indicating that “normal big hit” is set in the symbol designation command. Further, when it is determined that “probability big hit” is obtained, the CPU 56 performs processing for setting EXT data indicating “probability big hit” in the symbol designation command. As a result, when a big win is reached, a symbol designation command indicating that “normal big hit” or “probability big hit” is output at the time of starting winning.

  Next, the CPU 56 uses the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2) extracted in S1216 and S1227 to determine each display result set in S223 and S225 and the variation pattern according to the gaming state ( S226). For example, in this embodiment, since the table used for determining the variation pattern type differs depending on whether or not it is a big hit and whether or not it is in the time saving state, in S226, the variation pattern is determined. When the variable display based on the hold storage data is executed based on the data indicating the game state such as the time reduction flag (the flag set when the time reduction control is performed) for the target hold storage data Recognize the gaming state, select the table used for determining the variation pattern based on the display result of the variation display based on the reserved storage data, and use the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2) for variation pattern Determine.

  Then, the CPU 56 performs processing for setting the EXT data corresponding to the determination result to the variation type command (S227). Thereby, at the time of starting winning, a variation type command indicating the variation type is output.

  In addition, there is a possibility that a plurality of variation displays may be executed after confirming whether or not the state is surely changed in S221 at the time of the start winning, until the start of the variation display based on the start winning actually. There is. For this reason, the gaming state has changed from the confirmation of whether or not it is in the probable variation state in S221 until the actual display of the variation based on the start winning is actually started (for example, the gaming state depends on the number of variations). In the case of a change, the game state may change from the probability change state to the normal state until the number of changes is up to 100 and after 100. Therefore, the gaming state determined in S222 at the time of starting winning and the gaming state determined at the start of variation do not always match. In order to prevent such a discrepancy, a game with a change in the game state in the currently stored hold memory may be specified, and the determination at the time of starting winning may be performed based on the changed game state. . In addition, the game state when the variation display based on the hold storage data is executed based on the data indicating the game state such as the probability variation counter and the time reduction counter for the hold storage data to be determined as the big hit Is recognized, the table used for determining the variation pattern is selected based on the display result of the variation display based on the reserved storage data, and the jackpot determination is performed using the jackpot type determination random number (random R). You may do it.

  Moreover, you may confirm whether it is a time-short state at the time of a start winning prize. In such a case, the variable display may be executed a plurality of times until the variable display based on the start winning is actually started. Therefore, the game state has changed after confirming whether it is in the short-time state or not until the display of fluctuation based on the start winning is actually started (for example, when the game state changes depending on the number of fluctuations). In addition, there are cases where the gaming state changes from the short-time state to the normal state up to 100 times and after 100 times.) Therefore, the gaming state determined at the time of starting winning is not always the same as the gaming state determined at the start of variation. In order to prevent such a discrepancy, a game with a change in the game state in the currently stored hold memory may be specified, and the determination at the time of starting winning may be performed based on the changed game state. . In addition, with respect to the on-hold storage data to be subjected to the determination of the variation pattern, based on the data indicating the game state, such as a time-count counter, the gaming state when the variation display based on the on-hold storage data is executed, Based on the display result of the variation display based on the reserved storage data, the table used for determining the variation pattern is selected, and the variation pattern type is determined using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2). May be.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the special symbol normal process (S300) in the special symbol process. In the special symbol normal process, the CPU 56 checks whether there is pending storage data in the first pending storage buffer or the second pending storage buffer (S51). If there is no pending storage data in either the first pending storage buffer or the second pending storage buffer, the process ends.

  When there is pending storage data in the first pending storage buffer or the second pending storage buffer, the CPU 56 determines that the first data among the data set in the pending specific area (see FIG. 8A) is “first”. It is confirmed whether or not the data indicates (S52). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is not data indicating “first” (that is, data indicating “second”) (N in S52), the CPU 56 determines that the special symbol pointer (first Data indicating “second” is set in a flag indicating whether the special symbol process is being performed for the special symbol or the special symbol process is being performed for the second special symbol (S53). When the first data set in the reserved specific area is data indicating “first” (Y in S52), the CPU 103 sets data indicating “first” in the special symbol pointer (S54).

  In this embodiment, hereinafter, the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a depends on whether the data indicating "first" or the data indicating "second" is set in the special symbol pointer. And the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b are executed using a common processing routine. When the data indicating “first” is set in the special symbol pointer, the first special symbol display unit 8a performs the variable display of the first special symbol based on the reserved memory data stored in the first reserved memory buffer. It is. On the other hand, when the data indicating “second” is set in the special symbol pointer, the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 8b based on the reserved memory data stored in the second reserved memory buffer. Is done.

  By executing the processing of S52 to S54, in this embodiment, the first special symbol is displayed in a variable manner according to the start winning order in which the game balls have won the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14. Alternatively, the variable display of the second special symbol is executed. In this embodiment, the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory are digested in the order of the start winning prize, and the first special symbol and the second special symbol are variably displayed in the order of the starting winning prize. Control may be performed so that the storage is prioritized over the first reserved storage and the second special symbol variation display is performed prior to the first special symbol variation display.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads out each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the number of reserved memories = 1 indicated by the special symbol pointer in the RAM 55 and stores it in the reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55 (S55). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 determines each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the first reserved memory number = 1 in the first reserved memory buffer. Are stored in the reserved storage buffer of the RAM 55. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, the CPU 56 reads each random number value stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = 1 in the second reserved memory buffer. Stored in the reserved storage buffer of the RAM 55.

  Then, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the reserved storage number counter indicated by the special symbol pointer, and shifts the contents of each storage area (S56). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 decrements the count value of the first reserved memory number counter by 1 and stores each storage area in the first reserved memory buffer. Shift content. When the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, 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.

  That is, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 stores the first reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the first reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55. Each stored random number value is stored in a storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number = n−1. Further, when the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, each stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n (n = 2, 3, 4) in the second reserved memory buffer of the RAM 55. The random value is stored in the storage area corresponding to the second reserved memory number = n−1. In addition, the CPU 56 adds the values (values indicating “first” or “second”) stored in the storage area corresponding to the total reserved storage number = m (m = 2 to 8) in the reserved specific area. Store in the storage area corresponding to the number of reserved storage = m−1. Therefore, the order in which each random value stored in each storage area corresponding to each first reserved memory number (or each second reserved memory number) is extracted is always the first reserved memory number (or (Second reserved storage number) = 1, 2, 3, 4 in order. Further, the order in which the values stored in the respective storage areas corresponding to the total number of pending storages are extracted always matches the order of the total number of pending storages = 1-8.

  One is subtracted from the count value of the total pending memory number counter formed in the RAM 55 and counting the total pending memory number (S57). The CPU 56 stores the value of the total pending storage number counter before the count value is decremented by 1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 55.

  In the special symbol normal process, first, data indicating “first” indicating that the process is executed for the first start winning opening 13, that is, “first” indicating that the process is executed for the first special symbol. ”Or“ second ”indicating that the process is performed on the second special symbol, that is,“ second ”indicating that the process is performed on the second start winning opening 14. Data is set in the special symbol pointer. In the subsequent processing in the special symbol process, processing corresponding to the data set in the special symbol pointer is executed. Therefore, the process of S300-S307 can be made common by the case where the 1st special symbol is made object and the case where the 2nd special symbol is made object.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads a random R (a jackpot determination random number) from the holding storage buffer, and executes a jackpot determination module (S61). In this case, the CPU 56 reads out the jackpot determination random number extracted in S1216 of the start port switch passing process or S1227 of the start port switch passing process and previously stored in the first hold memory buffer or the second hold memory buffer, and determines the big hit To do. The jackpot determination module is a program that compares a predetermined jackpot determination value (see FIG. 5) 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.

  The jackpot determination process is configured such that when the gaming state is in a probable change state (high probability state), the probability of winning a big hit is higher than in the case where the gaming state is a non-probability change state (normal game state). Specifically, a probability change jackpot determination table (a table in which the numerical values on the right side of FIG. 5A in the ROM 54 are set) in which a large number of jackpot determination values are set in advance, and the number of jackpot determination values are variable. There is provided a normal big hit determination table (a table in which the numerical values on the left side of FIG. 5A in the ROM 54 are set) set to be smaller than the hour big hit determination table. 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 CPU 56 performs a jackpot determination process using the probability variation jackpot determination table, and the gaming state is a normal game. When the state is short or short, the big hit determination process is performed using the normal big hit determination table. That is, when the value of the big hit determination random number (random R) matches one of the big hit determination values shown in FIG. 5A, the CPU 56 determines that the special symbol is a big hit. If it is determined to be a big hit (Y in S61), the process proceeds to S71. 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 set in the jackpot end process (S307 in FIG. 10) when the probability variation jackpot is reached, and then the condition that the next jackpot has been determined or the variation display resulting in an outlier display result. When the condition that the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) has been executed is satisfied, the variation display of the special symbol is terminated and the stop symbol is reset at the timing to stop display.

  If the value of the jackpot determination random number (random R) does not match any of the jackpot determination values (N in S61), the process proceeds to S75 described later.

  If the value of the jackpot determination random number (random R) matches any one of the jackpot determination values in S61, the CPU 56 sets a jackpot flag indicating that it is a jackpot (S71). The jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot game ends. Then, as a table used to determine the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types, the first special symbol jackpot type determination table in FIG. 5B and the second special symbol jackpot type in FIG. 5C. One of the determination tables is selected (S72). Specifically, when the special symbol pointer indicates “first”, the CPU 56 selects the first special symbol jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. When the special symbol pointer indicates “second”, the CPU 56 selects the second special symbol jackpot type determination table in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 56 reads the big hit type determination random number extracted in the start switch passing processing and stored in advance in the first hold storage buffer or the second hold storage buffer, and uses the big hit type determination table selected in S72 to hold the The jackpot type and jackpot symbol corresponding to the value matching the random number (random 1) for jackpot type determination stored in the buffer is determined (S73).

  As shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the relationship between the big hit type and the big hit symbol is set so that the big hit type is different for each big hit type, Since the big hit type and the big hit symbol are determined at the same time, the correspondence between the big hit symbol and the game control corresponding to the big hit type is simplified, so that the game control can be prevented from becoming complicated.

  Further, the CPU 56 sets the jackpot type data indicating the determined jackpot type in the jackpot type buffer in the RAM 55 (S74). For example, when the jackpot type is “normal jackpot”, “01” is set as the jackpot type data. When the big hit type is “probable big hit”, “02” is set as the big hit type data. When the big hit type is “suddenly probable big hit”, “03” is set as data indicating the big hit type.

  Next, the CPU 56 sets a special symbol stop symbol (S75). Specifically, when the big hit flag is not set, “−”, which is a lost symbol, is set as a special symbol stop symbol. If the jackpot flag is set, the jackpot symbol determined in S73 is set as a special symbol stop symbol according to the determination result of the jackpot type. That is, when the jackpot type is determined to be “probable variation jackpot”, “7” is set as a special symbol stop symbol. When the jackpot type is determined as “normal jackpot”, “3” is determined as a special symbol stop symbol. When the big hit type is determined to be “suddenly promising big hit”, “5” is set as a special symbol stop symbol.

  Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (S301) (S76).

  Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 100 as effect control means will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the effect control main process executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) mounted on the effect control board 80.

  The effect control CPU 101 starts executing the effect control main process when the power is turned on. In the effect control main process, first, an initialization process is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S701). ). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 101 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring a timer interrupt flag (S702). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 101 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. In the effect control main process, if the timer interrupt flag is set, the effect control CPU 101 clears the flag (S703) and executes the following effect control process.

  In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 first analyzes the received effect control command and sets a flag (a flag such as a reception flag indicating that each command has been received) according to the received effect control command. Etc. (command analysis processing: S704). Next, the effect control CPU 101 performs effect control process processing (S705). In the effect control process, in order to perform various effects such as a change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 in accordance with the contents of the effect control command analyzed in S704, the current control among the processes corresponding to the control state is performed. A process corresponding to the state (effect control process flag) is selected and the effect control is executed.

  Next, a random number update process is executed to update the count value of a counter for generating various random numbers such as a random number for determining the stop symbol of the effect symbol and a random number for determining the selection of various effect contents (S706). Further, a hold storage display control process for controlling the display state of the combined hold storage display unit 18c is executed (S707). In the process of S707, a process of causing the reserved storage to appear on the total reserved storage display unit 18c is executed in response to the occurrence of the reserved storage. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S702.

  By executing such effect control main processing, the effect control microcomputer 100 transmits the effect display device 9, various lamps, and the like according to the effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 and received. By controlling the production device such as the speaker 27, various production controls according to the gaming state are performed.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing random numbers used in the effect control board 80. Each random number is counted at the timing and number of updates set for each random number in the random number update process of S706. FIG. 15 shows the type of random number, the counting range, and the usage.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, on the side of the effect control board 80, a random number value SR1-1 for determining the left stop symbol of the effect symbol and a random value SR1-2 for determining the middle stop symbol of the effect symbol , Random number value SR1-3 for determining the right stop symbol of the production symbol, random value SR3-1 for determining the corresponding display execution described later, random value SR3-2 for determining the corresponding display content, Numerical data indicating each of the random number SR3-3, the corresponding display number determination random number SR3-4, and the corresponding display expectation level selection random number SR3-5 is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a production effect, random numbers other than these may be used.

  Each of such random numbers SR1-1 to SR3-5 is generated by the count of a random counter that updates the count value by software in the production control microcomputer 100, and is within the range associated in FIG. And are used as random numbers by being extracted at a timing determined for each.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S705) in the effect control main process shown in FIG. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 101 performs any one of S800 to S807 in accordance with the value of the effect control process flag after performing the prefetching notice process in S500. In each process, the following process is executed. In the effect control process, the display state of the effect display device 9 is controlled to realize the variable display of the effect symbols, but the control related to the change display of the effect symbols synchronized with the change of the first special symbol is also the second special symbol. Control related to the change display of the effect symbol synchronized with the change of the effect is also executed in one effect control process.

  Pre-reading notice process (S500): It is determined whether or not the pre-reading notice effect is executed, and when the pre-reading notice is executed, processing such as determination of the pre-reading notice effect mode is performed. The specific processing content of S500 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (S800): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern command is received from the game control microcomputer 560. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the variation pattern command reception flag set in the command analysis process is set. If the variation pattern command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation start process (S801).

  Effect symbol variation start processing (S801): Control is performed so that variation display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol) is started. Further, the stop symbol (display result) of the effect symbol is determined based on a random number for determining the stop symbol of the effect symbol. In response to the received variation pattern command, an effect pattern at the time of variation display of the effect symbol is selected, and the timing of the variation display time timer for timing the variation time of the variation display to be executed is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S802).

  Production symbol variation processing (S802): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitors whether or not the variation time counted by the variation display time timer has ended. Then, based on the fact that the fluctuation time has ended or that an effect control command (symbol confirmation designation command) for instructing all symbols to stop is received, the value of the effect control process flag is effected to end the variable display. It is updated to a value corresponding to the symbol variation stop process (S803).

  Effect symbol variation stop processing (S803): Control is performed to stop the variation display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol) and derive and display the display result (stop symbol) of the variation display. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S804) or the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S800).

  Big hit display process (S804): After the end of the variation time, display control such as a fanfare effect as an effect such as a big hit display for notifying the effect display device 9 of the occurrence of the big win is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit game processing (S805).

  In-round processing (S805): Display control during round is performed. If the round end condition is satisfied, if the final round has not ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the post-round processing (S806). If the final round has ended, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end process (S807).

  Post-round processing (S806): Display control between rounds is performed. If the round start condition is satisfied, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the in-round processing (S805).

  Big hit end effect processing (S807): In the effect display device 9, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit game state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern command reception waiting process (S800).

  FIG. 17A shows a state in which the movable display device 96 is housed in FIG. FIG. 17B shows a state where the movable display device 96 appears outside.

  In the effect display device 9, both when the left, middle, and right effect symbols are displayed in the left, middle, and right effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, and when the change display is not performed. A background image 94 that is the background of the effect design is displayed. As the background image 94, a simple background image with a colored solid color (blue, etc.), a background image showing a shape such as a predetermined pattern, a scene, a scene, a landscape, etc. related to the effect of changing display Various background images such as a background image showing a realistic image are selectively displayed. The background image may be composed of a still image or a moving image.

  As shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, in the effect display device 9, on the background image 94, in addition to the effect symbol, the reserved storage image and the corresponding display area 60 in the summed hold storage display unit 18 c are displayed. Various images such as a corresponding image and a corresponding display image in the corresponding display area 60 are displayed. Here, the correspondence display image refers to an image displayed in correspondence with the variation display during the execution of the variation display.

  In this embodiment, the corresponding display image will be described in detail later. For example, as shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the reserved storage image is moved to the corresponding display area 60 to be used as the corresponding display image. An effect as displayed is performed. In this way, the reserved storage image and the corresponding display image are images that are related in the production.

  In this display example, a frame image 95 having a predetermined frame shape is fixedly displayed around the edge of the image display area of the effect display device 9 in order to produce a decorative effect. The background image 94 is an image that is displayed separately and independently from the frame image 95, and is displayed in a display region inside the frame image 95.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, the movable display device 96 is provided at a predetermined position below the effect display device 9 in a state of being housed inside the game area 7. Specifically, the movable display device 96 is stored in a storage position on the back side of the game board 6 and movable to a position ahead of the front end portion of the effect display device 9 when it appears. In the game board 6, a rectangular opening is formed at a position where the display part of the effect display device 9 can be faced in an area where the effect display device 9 is attached from the back side of the game board 6, thereby providing an effect display. The display unit of the device 9 is exposed forward. In the game board 6, a moving passage capable of moving the movable display device 96 up and down is formed between the back surface of the lower end portion in such an opening and the display unit of the effect display device 9. The movable display device 96 can move up and down while passing through the moving passage in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, when the movable display device 96 moves from the storage position and appears in front of the display unit of the effect display device 9, the display unit of the effect display device 9 is viewed from the front. It moves to an appearance position that is a specific operation position that covers the lower left part in front. In this way, by moving the movable display device 96 to the appearance position set in front of the effect display device 9, movement control is performed so that the movable display device 96 overlaps the effect display device 9 (front).

  When the movable display device 96 as shown in FIG. 17B moves from the storage position and appears at the appearance position, the image displayed on the effect display device 9 in the storage state shown in FIG. Among them, the image of the entire area of the corresponding display area 60 and the image of a partial area of the combined suspension storage display unit 18c are in a state where it is difficult to view. Thus, the appearance position (specific operation position) of the movable display device 96 corresponds to a position in the vicinity of the display position of the corresponding display area 60 and the summed hold storage display unit 18c in the effect display device 9. Accordingly, assuming that the effect display device 9 remains in the image display state shown in FIG. 17A and the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position as shown in FIG. 17B, the corresponding display image is displayed. It is considered that the player is in a state where it is difficult for the player to visually recognize all and a part of the reserved stored image.

  In order to prevent such a part of the reserved stored image from being difficult to visually recognize, when the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position, which is a specific operation position, the effect control microcomputer 100 causes the display of FIG. From the first display position, which is the original display position as shown in a), as shown in FIG. 17B, the reserved storage image is displayed at the second display position where the entire reserved storage image becomes visible. The moving display control for simultaneously moving the images displayed in the respective display areas of the background image 94, the effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, and the summed hold storage display unit 18c so that the image is moved and displayed. Done.

  Specifically, when the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position, as shown in FIG. 17B, the background image 94, the effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, and the summed pending storage display unit 18c. The display position of each image display area is moved in a predetermined direction (the same direction) from the current first display position at which a part of the reserved stored image becomes difficult to visually recognize due to the appearance operation of the movable display device 96. By performing the process of moving (same movement amount) by the production control microcomputer 100, the images displayed in these display areas are collectively slid, for example, by a predetermined movement amount in the right direction when viewed from the front. The moving display control is performed to move to the second display position where all the stored images can be visually recognized.

  More specifically, before the movable display device 96 appears, the display position (the first display area) of the background image 94, the effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, and the summed hold storage display unit 18c is displayed. The coordinate data designating the position of the display area) is gradually changed at a predetermined cycle so as to become coordinate data designating each display area (position of the second display area) after the predetermined movement display after a predetermined time. By performing the process of changing to the above, the display area of these images is moved to a position where all of the summed pending storage display unit 18c becomes visible. It should be noted that the display positions of the display areas of the background image 94, the effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, and the sum hold storage display unit 18c are not moved gradually, but are controlled to move at once. May be.

  As a result, when the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position, the background image 94, the effect symbol, and the reserved storage image are maintained in a positional relationship among them so that they are separated from the movable display device 96. The display moves to the right side when viewed from the side. In this example, the images displayed on the background image 94, the effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, and the summed hold storage display unit 18c are moved in the same direction by the same movement amount. Here, with respect to the hold storage image, the display area itself of the combined hold storage display unit 18c moves, so that the movement display control is performed even when the hold storage image is not displayed before such movement display control is executed. The hold storage image newly displayed after execution is displayed at the position of the display area of the combined hold storage display unit 18c after moving display. When such moving display control is performed, a display in which an image displayed before moving display is moved as it is by a predetermined moving amount is performed, so that a part of the image displayed before moving display (for example, , A part of the background image) is not displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, when moving display control is performed, the amount of movement of the reserved storage image in the combined suspension storage display unit 18 c and the amount of movement of a predetermined effect image such as the background image 94 are the same. Therefore, it becomes possible to suppress a change in the relative positional relationship between the reserved stored image and the predetermined effect image, and the player is more confused and uncomfortable with the effect regarding the movement of the reserved memory image. Further suppression can be achieved.

  In addition, since the reserved storage image of the combined reservation storage display unit 18c is displayed in a manner overlapping with the background image 94 as the predetermined effect image, it is easy to check the reserved storage image and the predetermined effect image at the same time. it can. Furthermore, by displaying in an overlapping manner in this way, it is possible to further suppress the player from being confused and having a sense of discomfort when moving the reserved stored image and the predetermined effect image.

  FIG. 17B shows a state in which the area indicated by the oblique lines in the figure is a blank area 95 in which no image is displayed because the background image 94 has moved. Then, in the movable display device 96 moved to the appearance position, as shown in FIG. 17B, display control for displaying the corresponding display image with the entire display area 960 as the corresponding display area (960) is performed. Thereby, the corresponding display is performed on the movable display device 96 according to the positional relationship between the relative position between the effect display device 9 and the movable display device 96 (in this example, the relative position where the effect display device 9 and the movable display device 96 overlap). Is executed.

  Since the background image 94 has moved, instead of making the area indicated by diagonal lines in the figure a blank area 95 where no image is displayed, other images such as a predetermined color, pattern, and shape are displayed in the area. You may make it do. In addition, because the background image 94 has moved, instead of setting the area indicated by diagonal lines in the figure as a blank area 95 where no image is displayed, an image that has not been displayed when the background image 94 has not moved (for example, You may make it display the image which continues (follows) the image of the edge part of the background image 94. By doing in this way, the discomfort of presentation display can be reduced. You may make it perform the display which also moves the frame-shaped frame image 95 according to a movement.

  In this embodiment, when the corresponding display image is displayed on the movable display device 96, control is performed so that the corresponding display image is not displayed on the effect display device 9, but the corresponding display image is displayed on the movable display device 96. Even when the display is performed, the corresponding display image may be continuously displayed on the effect display device 9 (however, since the movable display device 96 is located in front of the corresponding display region 60, the player can move Compared with the corresponding display image displayed on the display device 96, the corresponding display image displayed on the effect display device 9 is less visible.)

  When the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position, the movement display control as described above is performed so that the reserved stored image does not become difficult to visually recognize as shown in FIG. be able to. Furthermore, it becomes possible to suppress a change in the relative positional relationship of the reserved memory image in the image (including the background image 94) displayed on the effect display device 9, and the player can control the movement of the reserved memory image. It is possible to suppress a sense of incongruity in the production and be confused.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17B, for the stored storage image, when the display area itself of the combined storage storage display unit 18c moves, even if the stored storage image is not displayed before the movement display control is executed. However, the hold storage image newly displayed after the movement display control is executed is displayed at the position of the display area of the combined hold storage display unit 18c after the movement display. Thereby, even when the hold storage image is not displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c, when the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position, the display position of the background image 94 as the predetermined effect image is moved. Therefore, the player can be further prevented from feeling uncomfortable and confused when displaying the stored storage image corresponding to the generation of the stored storage information at the display position after the moving display control.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the movable display device 96 has a specific positional relationship such as when it appears in front of the effect display device 9, a predetermined correspondence display is executed on the movable display device 96. Therefore, the player can be focused on the positional relationship between the effect display device 9 and the movable display device 96, and the effect can be varied.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17B, the relative position relationship where the movable display device 96 overlaps with the corresponding display area 60 of the effect display device 9 as when the movable display device 96 appears in front of the effect display device 9 is obtained. Since the corresponding display is executed on the movable display device 96, the position at which the corresponding display is executed does not change when viewed from the player even if the corresponding display is executed on the movable display device 96. Can be discouraged by having a sense of incongruity in the production.

  In this embodiment, the control for causing the movable display device 96 to appear is started, for example, when a predetermined control condition that a pre-reading notice effect is executed is satisfied, and when the pre-reading notice effect ends (for example, , When the variable display based on the target storage information to be described later is stopped).

  In this embodiment, in accordance with the movement control of the movable body composed of the movable display device 96, the hold storage image is displayed when the hold storage image on the effect display device 9 and the movement display control for moving the background image are performed. An example of moving the image without changing the size of the image and the size of the background image has been shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and both the size of the reserved storage image and the size of the background image may be reduced and moved, or one of the images may be reduced and moved. Good. In this way, when the image is reduced and moved and displayed, all the images displayed before the moving display can be displayed after the moving display.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the display control for moving the hold storage image and the background image on the effect display device 9 is performed in accordance with the movement control of the movable body formed of the movable display device 96, the hold storage image, Also, a display example is shown in which the background image is slid and moved while the background image is displayed (while the display is maintained). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold storage image and the background image may be temporarily erased at the original display position and then displayed so as to appear at the moved position.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the effect control microcomputer 100 includes at least one of the reserved stored images displayed at the first display position in the effect state in which the movable body such as the movable display device 96 is accommodated. When a part moves to an appearance position where it is difficult to visually recognize, a predetermined value such as a reserved storage image and a background image is displayed so that the reserved storage image is displayed at the second display position where the entire reserved storage image is visible. The moving display control for moving the effect image is performed.

  FIG. 18 is a display screen diagram showing a display example of correspondence display in the effect display device 9. In the present embodiment, a combined hold storage display unit 18c that displays the total number of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number (total reserved memory number) is provided at the bottom of the display screen of the effect display device 9. A corresponding display area 60 is provided on the left side of the summation pending storage display portion 18c. Further, in the present embodiment, the display mode displayed in the corresponding display area 60 differs between when the pre-reading notice is executed and when the pre-reading notice is not executed, and FIGS. 18A to 18E are different. 18 shows a normal display mode in which the pre-reading notice is not executed, and FIGS. 18A and 18F show display modes in the case where the pre-reading notice is executed.

  First, the case of a normal display mode will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 18 (a), among the hold storage information displayed as the hold storage image (hold information) on the combined hold storage display unit 18c, the hold storage information displayed as the leftmost hold storage image on the display screen. As a result, the change display is executed in order. The hold storage images corresponding to the hold storage information are displayed in order from the left in the order of winning, and the leftmost hold storage image is the first (first) hold storage image among the displayed hold storage images. It is an on-hold storage image corresponding to information. The leftmost stored image moves (shifts) into the corresponding display area 60 when the variable display is started. In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, the variation display is supported during the variation display of the effect symbol corresponding to the reserved memory information indicated by the reserved memory image. Thus, the corresponding display is displayed in the corresponding display area 60 in the display mode of “◯”.

  FIG. 18B shows a case where the variation display of the effect symbol during the variation display in FIG. 18A is stopped. In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, for example, “1”, “2”, and “3” are displayed, and the display results are out of place. . At this time, the corresponding display of “◯” in the corresponding display area 60 is erased at a predetermined timing during the variation display of the effect symbol (or when the variation is stopped), so that when the effect symbol stops, the corresponding display region Nothing is displayed at 60. Next, the hold storage image of the combined hold storage display unit 18c is shifted to the left, and the variable display corresponding to the leftmost hold storage image among the shifted hold storage images is executed as shown in FIG. The In FIG. 18C, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, “△” is displayed corresponding to the change display during the effect symbol change display. A mode is displayed in the corresponding display area 60.

  FIG. 18D shows a case where the change display of the hold storage during the change display in FIG. 18C is stopped. In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, for example, “3”, “2”, and “3” are displayed, respectively, and reach is out (after reaching reach). Display result). As will be described later, the display mode of “Δ” is a display mode in which the ratio displayed when the expectation level that is a big hit is higher than the display mode of “◯” is set high. That is, since the display mode of “Δ” has a higher expectation degree of jackpot than the display mode of “◯”, it is likely to reach. At this time, the corresponding display in the corresponding display area 60 is erased at a predetermined timing during the variation display of the effect symbol (or when the variation is stopped), so that when the effect symbol is stopped, Nothing is displayed. Next, the hold storage image of the combined hold storage display unit 18c is shifted to the left, and the variable display corresponding to the leftmost hold storage image among the shifted hold storage images is executed as shown in FIG. The In FIG. 18E, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, nothing is displayed in the corresponding display area 60 during the effect symbol change display. Thus, in the corresponding display area 60, there is a case where the corresponding display is not executed during the variable display associated with the hold storage image. However, the hold display image may be shifted to the corresponding display area 60, and the change display based on the hold storage image may be executed without fail.

  Next, the display mode when the pre-reading notice is executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 (a) and (f) to (j). In the present embodiment, during the variable display in FIG. 18 (a), a condition that becomes a target of prefetching notice (hereinafter also referred to as a target. The target is a concept that includes target storage information) is established. When a start winning (a change that becomes a super reach) occurs, as shown in FIG. 18 (f), the target reserved memory image is displayed in a mode different from the normal reserved memory image (color in a mode different from the normal mode). (For example, the normal hold is white and the target hold is black, etc.).

  As shown in FIG. 18 (f), when the target hold 61 is generated, movement control for causing the movable display device 96 to appear in front of the effect display device 9 is performed when the target hold 61 is won, and the leftmost is displayed. The hold storage image is displayed in a display mode that shifts to the display area (corresponding display area) 960 of the movable display device 96 that constitutes the corresponding display area instead of the corresponding display area 60, and the hold two previous from the target hold 61. The variable display corresponding to the stored image is started. Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (f), in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, during the effect symbol change display, corresponding to the change display. The display mode of “☆” is displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 as a corresponding display image.

  In FIG. 18 (g), since the start winning of the target hold 61 has occurred, unlike the case of FIG. 18 (b), in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, 2 from the hold storage information of the target hold 61. The variable display corresponding to the previous hold storage information is started from the target hold 61 without erasing the display of the “☆” hold storage image corresponding to the previous hold storage information. At this time, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, the leftmost reserved storage image of the combined hold storage display unit 18 c is movablely displayed during the variable display of the effect symbols. The stored display image shifted to the corresponding display area 960 of the device 96 is displayed as a corresponding display image corresponding to the fluctuation display in a display form of “◯”, and the correspondence display corresponding to the fluctuation display before the fluctuation display. The image is displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 together with the display mode of “☆” as an image. As described above, when the target hold 61 is present, the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 produces an effect that the corresponding display is accumulated (remaining or added). Here, the corresponding display image that is not erased from the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 even when the variable display based on the reserved storage image is ended is also referred to as “corresponding display residual storage”. The correspondence display residual pending storage includes pending storage information including the pending storage information of the target and the pending storage information in which the variable display is executed before the target pending storage. Corresponding display residual reserved memory indicates a reserved stored image that accumulates in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 when the variable display based on the reserved storage information is executed. Note that, as will be described later, all the reserved stored images based on the reserved storage information before the target stored information may not be executed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, and the stored effect is not executed. The hold storage image is not included in the corresponding display remaining hold storage.

  In FIG. 18 (h), in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the display of the stored storage image of “☆” corresponding to the stored storage information two previous from the target storage 61, and one from the target storage 61. The variable display of the target hold 61 is started without erasing the display of the hold storage image of “◯” corresponding to the previous hold storage information. At this time, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, the leftmost target hold 61 on-hold storage image is displayed on the movable display device 96 during the effect symbol variation display. The display is shifted to the corresponding display area 960 and displayed as a corresponding display image. Then, the stored storage image of the display form “☆” corresponding to the stored storage information of the target storage 61 shifted to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 further accumulates in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Production is performed. As shown in FIG. 18 (i), during the variable display based on the hold storage information of the target hold 61, the corresponding display image including the corresponding display image of the target hold 61 is stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Displayed. On the total hold storage display portion 18c, a display of a hold storage image corresponding to the hold storage information that has been won after the target hold 61 has won is executed. Next, FIG. 18 (j) shows a case where the variable display based on the hold storage information of the target hold 61 is stopped. For example, when the display result of the variable display based on the target hold is a jackpot display result, when the variable display based on the hold storage information of the target hold 61 is stopped, the effects of “left”, “middle”, and “right” are produced. In the symbol display areas 91, 92, and 93, for example, “7”, “7”, and “7” are displayed and the jackpot display result is obtained. In addition, the display of the corresponding display image in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is erased at a predetermined timing during the change display of the effect symbol (or when the change is stopped), and the effect accompanying the change display of the target hold 61. When the symbol stops, nothing is displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. In the case of a big hit display result, the corresponding display residual reserved image stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is not erased during the change display of the effect symbol or at the timing of the change stop, and the big hit effect is produced. You may make it erase at the timing of starting.

  As described above, when the pre-reading notice is executed based on the occurrence of the storage information of the target hold 61, the corresponding display area of the movable display device 96 including the target hold 61 is displayed over a plurality of variable displays. In 960, an effect is created in which the stored storage image corresponding to the variable display is accumulated as the corresponding display image. Therefore, the player comes to pay attention to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 over a plurality of variable displays, and the interest of the game is improved.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18 (f), only the reserved storage image of the target hold 61 is displayed in a different form from the normal on the total hold storage display unit 18c. Based on what happened, you may change the display mode of the holding | maintenance memory | storage image displayed by winning before the target holding | maintenance 61. In this way, the reserved storage image that is accumulated as the corresponding display image in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 before the target is reserved is displayed separately from the normal display mode of the reserved storage image. It is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the period of execution.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 18 (f) to 18 (h), at the time of starting the variable display, the hold storage image corresponding to the hold storage information for starting the variable display is moved from the effect display device 9 to the movable display device 96. In this manner, the predetermined correspondence display is executed on the movable display device 96, so that the player can be more focused on the relative positional relationship between the effect display device and the movable display device 96.

  In the present embodiment, the hold storage image of the target hold 61 has been shown to be displayed separately from the normal mode at the timing of the start winning prize, but the change timing is not at the start winning prize, but in the holding memory. It may be the timing at which information shifts. Moreover, the timing which changes based on the big hit expectation degree of the target holding | maintenance 61 may be determined from multiple types of timing. In addition, when there is hold storage information that has been won after winning the target hold 61, all the changes from the normal display mode to the special display mode at the timing when the hold storage image of the target hold 61 changes, including those holds. The reserved stored image may be changed. In addition, when the holding memory image corresponding to the holding memory information won after the winning of the target holding 61 is changed, the holding that has been changed by digesting the target holding 61 (timing of fluctuation stop). The stored image may be returned to the normal display mode.

  In the above-described embodiment, as the movement control of the movable display device 96 when the movable display device 96 displays the correspondence, the movement control is performed so that the movable display device 96 overlaps the effect display device 9 (front). An example is shown. However, as the movement control of the movable display device 96 when the correspondence display is performed on the movable display device 96, the movement control for moving the movable display device 96 in a manner that does not overlap the effect display device 9 may be performed. . In this way, when performing the movement control for moving the movable display device 96 in a manner that does not overlap the effect display device 9, the movement display control of the summed hold storage display unit 18c or the like does not have to be executed. Also good. The above-described movement display control may be performed at least when the movable display device 96 is moved to a specific operation position in the vicinity of the display position of the total suspension storage display unit 18c.

  Specific examples of movement control for moving the movable display device 96 in a manner that does not overlap the effect display device 9 include the following. The movable display device 96 is moved to approach the effect display device 9, but the stop position where the movable display device 96 does not overlap the effect display device 9 (a position adjacent to the effect display device 9 or a predetermined distance from the effect display device 9). (For example, a relatively close position of about several centimeters)). In such a case, the corresponding display may be displayed on the movable display device 96 when such a stop position is reached. Thereby, it is possible to perform the corresponding display according to the positional relationship of the relative positions of the effect display device 9 and the movable display device 96.

  Further, by performing movement control for moving the movable display device 96 away from the effect display device 9, the movable display device 96 does not overlap the effect display device 9 (a position at a specific distance from the effect display device 9 (for example, several centimeters). You may make it control to stop by the comparatively separated position of the above grades)). In such a case, the corresponding display may be displayed on the movable display device 96 when such a stop position is reached. Accordingly, it is possible to perform the corresponding display according to the relative position between the effect display device 9 and the movable display device 96.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, the movement control which moves a movable body comprised with the movable display apparatus 96 to the front of the production | presentation display apparatus 9 makes a movable body overlap on the production | presentation display apparatus 9 (front). An example to be performed is shown. However, as such movement control, the entire movable body may overlap with the effect display device 9, or a part of the movable body may overlap with the effect display device 9. When the movement control for overlapping a part of the movable body with the effect display device 9 is executed in this way, the movement display control of the stored storage image and the background image as described above may be performed. May be a movable display device 96.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the movable display device 96 is moved in front of the corresponding display area 60 in the effect display device 9, so that the movable display device 96 has the entire corresponding display area 60 in the effect display device 9. An example is shown in which the corresponding display is executed instead of the corresponding display area 60 in the movable display device 96 when they overlap with each other. However, the position is not limited to this, and the position when the movable display device 96 moves in front of the corresponding display region 60 in the effect display device 9 is a position that overlaps with a part of the corresponding display region 60 in the effect display device 9. Sometimes, the movable display device 96 may execute the corresponding display instead of the corresponding display area 60.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the movable body having the movable display device 96 as an example appears in the front position of the effect display device 9 from the state in which the movable body is housed therein, The example which performs the movement display control which moves effect images (background image etc.) was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body is not housed inside, but is located below the effect display device 9 in a form that is constantly exposed to the outside. From the position, the effect display device as described above When the movement control for moving to the front position 9 is executed, the movement display control for moving the reserved storage image and the effect image may be performed.

  In addition, although the movable body which made the movable display device 96 an example showed the example in which a movable body is accommodated in the downward direction of the effect display apparatus 9, not only this but the upper direction or the side of the effect display apparatus 9 is shown. On the other hand, when the movable body is housed inside and the movement control for moving from the position to the front position of the effect display device 9 as described above is executed, the movement display control for moving the hold storage image and the effect image is performed. You may make it do. In addition, the movable body taking the movable display device 96 as an example is movable above or to the side of the effect display device 9 in a configuration in which the movable body is not housed inside but is constantly exposed to the outside. When the body is located and the movement control for moving from the position to the front position of the effect display device 9 as described above is executed, the movement display control for moving the reserved storage image and the effect image is performed. May be.

  The movement control of the moving body taking the movable display device 96 as an example in the above-described embodiment as an example, the movement amount is moved in a plurality of stages according to the degree of expectation (reliability) at which the display result of the variable display is a big hit. It may be selected from the amount and moved by the selected amount of movement. For example, when the fluctuation display results in a big hit display result, the movement that selects the movement amount so that the ratio at which the number of movement stages increases is higher than when the fluctuation display results in a loss display result. (The selection ratio of the number of movement steps is contrary to such a selection ratio. When the fluctuation display results in a jackpot display result, the movement stage is different from the case where the fluctuation display results in a loss display result. The amount of movement may be selected so that the rate at which the number decreases is high). In this way, the player's sense of expectation can be raised depending on the amount of movement in the movement control of the moving body.

  As described above, the movement control for moving the movable body by the amount of movement corresponding to the level of expectation (reliability) that is a big hit is as described above when adopting the configuration for moving the movable body that is not housed inside. Since it is easy for the player to visually recognize the amount of movement of the movable body, it is possible to improve the fun of the production.

  In addition, when performing movement control for moving the movable body with the amount of movement corresponding to the level of expectation (reliability) that is a big hit, the movable display device as the movable body according to the amount of movement. The display mode (for example, color etc.) of the image in 96 may be changed.

  In addition, the movable display device 96 as described above is not overlapped with the effect display device 9 as the movement control for moving the movable body with the amount of movement corresponding to the level of expectation (reliability) that is a big hit. When performing the movement control to move in a manner, depending on the amount of movement, there may be a case where the corresponding display is executed on the movable display device 96 as the movable body and a case where the corresponding display is not executed. . For example, in the movement control, the corresponding display may be performed when the movable display device 96 has moved to the position closest to the effect display device 9 and the corresponding display may not be performed when the other moving amount. Even at the same close position, control is performed so that the corresponding display is executed and the corresponding display is not executed depending on the degree of expectation (reliability) that is a big hit. May be. For example, even at the same close position, when the variable display result is a jackpot display result, the control may be performed such that the rate at which the corresponding display is executed is higher than when the display result is a loss display result. Good.

  Further, in this embodiment, an example is shown in which the movement control is performed so that the movable display device 96 always appears when the prefetch notice is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and movement control for causing the movable display device 96 to appear when some types of pre-reading notices are executed when the pre-reading notice type is selected from a plurality of types. It may be.

  In this embodiment, the movement control for causing the movable display device 96 to appear and the movement display control for moving the hold storage image and the effect image (background image, etc.) are executed when the prefetching advance notice is executed. Indicated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and such movement control and movement display control are executed when a predetermined movement execution condition is satisfied when the pre-reading notice is not executed (for example, a specific fluctuation pattern such as a super reach fluctuation pattern is executed). It may be executed at the time. Such movement control and movement display control may be such that the control state continues only during a period in which the variable display is executed once, and the control state is maintained over a period in which two or more presentation displays are executed. May be continued.

  Such movement control and movement display control may be executed at a predetermined rate both when the pre-reading notice is executed and when the pre-reading notice is not executed. However, it may be executed at a higher rate than in the other case. Further, the control for performing the corresponding display on the movable display device 96 when the movement control for causing the movable display device 96 to appear may be executed without fail, and may be executed when selected at a predetermined ratio. Also good.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (S801) in the effect control process. In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 101 performs the following process.

  In the effect symbol variation start process, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not the variation display result is determined to be off (S601). Whether or not it is determined to be out of place is determined by, for example, whether or not a display result 1 designation command is stored in the display result specifying command storage area. Note that whether or not it is determined to be out of play may be confirmed based on a change pattern command that can specify whether or not to make a big hit. If it is determined to be off, it is confirmed whether a command corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern is received as the fluctuation pattern command (S602). Whether or not a command corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern has been received is determined by, for example, data stored in the variation pattern command storage area.

  When it is determined that the command corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern has been received, the effect control CPU 101 uses the predetermined error symbol determination data table to determine a stop symbol that does not become a reach of the effect symbol ( The process proceeds to S604) and S616. In the loss symbol determination data table, the numerical data of SR1-1 to SR1-3 are associated with each of a plurality of types of effect symbols. In the process of S604, numerical data (random numbers) is extracted from each of SR1-1 to SR1-3 at a predetermined timing, and extracted using the detachable symbol determination data table stored in the ROM of the production control microcomputer 100. The symbols corresponding to the numerical data thus determined are determined as combinations of stop symbols that result in the variation display of the left, middle, and right effect symbols. Thus, when determining the combination of non-reach off symbols, if the stop symbol corresponding to the extracted random number coincides with a combination of chance big hit symbols (probability big hit symbol combination, sudden probability big hit symbol combination, Each stop symbol is determined by correction (for example, correction by shifting the right symbol by one symbol) so that it becomes a combination of missing symbols, or the stop symbol corresponding to the extracted random number becomes a reach symbol accidentally In this case, each stop symbol is determined by correcting (for example, correcting the right symbol by one symbol) so as to be a combination of non-reach off symbols.

  When it is determined in step S602 that the pattern is not a non-reach variation pattern (when it is determined that the pattern is a reach variation pattern), the effect control CPU 101 determines a stop symbol of the effect symbols constituting the reach combination (S605). The process proceeds to S616. In the process of S605, numerical data (random numbers) is extracted from each of SR1-1 to SR1-3 at a predetermined timing, and the symbol corresponding to the random number extracted from SR1-1 is extracted using the loss symbol determination data table. A symbol corresponding to a random number that matches the counter value extracted from SR1-2 is determined as a stop symbol of the middle symbol, which is determined as a stop symbol of each of the left and right effect symbols forming the reach state. In this case as well, when the symbol combination is accidentally a combination of symbols, the stop symbols are determined by correcting the symbols so that they become a combination of symbols that are out of place (for example, correction for shifting the middle symbol by one symbol).

  If it is not determined to be off (S601), the effect control CPU 101 determines a stop symbol of the effect symbols constituting the winning symbol combination according to the type of the big hit (S603), and proceeds to S616. .

In S603, the winning symbol combination is determined according to the winning type as follows.
The effect control CPU 101 determines the jackpot type based on which display result designation command of the display result 2 designation command and the display result 3 designation command is stored in the display result specifying command storage area.

  When it is determined that it is determined to be a probable big hit, using the big hit symbol determination table, a combination of the probable big hit symbols (for example, “7, 7, 7” for the left, middle and right) The combination of the lozenges is selected and determined. In the jackpot symbol determination table, each of the numerical data of SR1-1 is associated with each of a plurality of predetermined probability variation jackpot symbols. When determining the combination of the probable big hit symbol, the numerical data (random number) is extracted from SR1-1 at a predetermined timing, and the symbol corresponding to the extracted random number is used as the combination of the probable big hit symbol combination using the big hit symbol determining table. It is determined as a combination of stop symbols of the left, middle, and right production symbols. The symbol determined in this way is used as a final stop symbol which is a variation display result before being controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  Further, when the effect control CPU 101 determines that it has been determined to make a surprise big hit, the combination of the sudden big hit symbols (for example, “1, 3 for the left, middle, and right” is used). , 5 ") is selected and determined. In the accuracy symbol determination table, each numerical data of SR1-1 is associated with each of a plurality of types of accuracy symbol combinations. When determining the combination of the winning big hit symbol, numerical data (random number) is extracted from SR1-1 at a predetermined timing, and the symbol corresponding to the extracted random number is configured using the winning symbol determination table. The combination of the stop symbol of the left, middle and right effect symbols is determined. In the case of a big hit, the symbols may be replaced after the reach symbol combination is displayed once. At that time, the reach symbol is extracted from SR1-1 at a predetermined timing, and numerical data (random number) is extracted from the normal jackpot symbol determination table. The symbol corresponding to the extracted random number is used as the left and right of the reach symbol. It is determined as a combination of the production symbols.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 executes effect setting processing for setting the effect pattern (S616). Details of the effect setting process will be described later.

  Next, the effect control pattern is set to one of a plurality of types of effect control patterns (S617). Corresponding display contents are also set in this process. The production control CPU 101 stores the design variation control pattern table in accordance with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the various production control (production operation) patterns designated by the production pattern determined in the process of S616. Of the plurality of types of stored symbol variation control patterns, one of the effect control patterns corresponding to the specified various effect operation patterns is selected and determined as a use pattern.

  In the control pattern table stored in the ROM of the production control microcomputer 100, for example, the production in the period from the start of the production symbol variation display until the final production of the finalized design symbol is stopped. Effect display operation in the display area of the display device 9, effect display operation in the reach effect, effect display operation in the pseudo-ream or slip effect, effect display operation in the notice effect, and the corresponding display area 60 (corresponding display area 960) A plurality of types of data indicating control contents of various effect operations such as an effect display operation for executing correspondence display are stored as symbol variation control patterns.

  In addition, each symbol variation control pattern is, for example, an effect symbol variation display such as an effect control process timer setting value, an effect control process timer determination value, an effect display control data, voice control data, lamp control data, and an end code. The control data for controlling the various types of performance operations is included, and the contents of the various types of performance control, the timing of switching the performance control, and the like are set in time series. As the symbol variation control pattern table, a symbol control pattern table composed of control data for controlling the effect operation of the effect symbol, and a control for controlling the effect operation of the notice effect different from the effect operation of the effect symbol By providing a notice control pattern table made up of data and using a combination of control data for controlling the effect operation of these effect symbols and control data for controlling the effect operation of the notice effect, one symbol variation You may comprise so that the production | presentation operation | movement similar to the case where the production | presentation operation of a symbol and the production | presentation operation of a notice may be performed with a control pattern table.

  Next, the effect control CPU 101 selects a process table corresponding to the effect control pattern selected in S617 (S618). Then, a process timer (effect setting process timer) in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S619).

  When the CPU 101 for effect control executes the process of S619, the effect device (the effect display device 9 as an effect part) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1). Then, the control of the various lamps as the production component and the speaker 27 as the production component is started (S620). 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.

  Then, a value corresponding to the variation time specified by the variation pattern command is set in the variation time timer (S621), and the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S802) (S622). ).

  FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram of a correspondence display execution determination table. The corresponding display execution determination table is a data table used when determining whether or not to execute the corresponding display in the effect setting process (S616). Note that the corresponding display execution determination table is not a data table used in the prefetch notice process described later, but is a data table used to determine whether or not to execute the corresponding display for the variable display starting this time. On the other hand, in the prefetching notice process, a prefetching notice table as shown in FIG. 23 is used. A different table is selected as the correspondence display execution determination table depending on whether it is a fluctuation pattern that reaches or a fluctuation pattern that normally does not reach (non-reach deviation). FIG. 20A shows a reach correspondence display execution determination table used when the variation pattern becomes reach, and FIG. 20B shows a normal correspondence display used when the variation pattern is usually displaced. An execution decision table is shown.

  In each table of FIGS. 20A and 20B, the corresponding display is executed when the corresponding display is executed in the corresponding display area 60 (including the corresponding display area 960) and when the corresponding display is not executed. A value of a random number for determination SR3-1 (a numerical range of 1 to 95) is assigned. For SR3-1, in order to clarify the explanation, the number of assigned random number values is shown in each table. In each of the tables of FIGS. 20A and 20B, whether or not to perform the correspondence display is determined according to the value of SR3-1 extracted at a predetermined timing.

  As shown in FIG. 20, at the time of reach, the rate at which the corresponding display is executed is set higher than that at the time of normal shift (non-reach shift). Therefore, it can be seen that, by executing the correspondence display, the variation display accompanying the correspondence display is a variation display that is likely to reach.

  In this embodiment, a table is provided in which the ratio of executing the corresponding display is different depending on whether or not the reach is reached. Good. In such a case, a random number value may be assigned to the table selected in the case of a big hit so that the corresponding display is more easily executed than the table selected in the case of a loss.

  FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram of a correspondence display content determination table. The corresponding display content determination table is a data table used when determining the corresponding display content in the effect setting process (S616). Note that the corresponding display content determination table is not a data table used in a prefetch notice process described later, but a data table used to determine the content of the corresponding display for the variable display that starts this time. On the other hand, in the prefetching notice process, a prefetching notice table as shown in FIG. 26 is used. As the correspondence display content determination table, a different table is selected depending on whether it is a big hit or not. FIG. 21A shows a big hit correspondence display content determination table used when the display result is a big hit, and FIG. 21B shows a loss correspondence display content determination used when the display result is wrong. A table is shown.

  In each of the tables of FIGS. 21A and 21B, the display content to be displayed in the corresponding display area 60 (including the corresponding display area 960) is displayed as “☆” having a high degree of expectation, Corresponding display content determination random number SR3-2 (numerical value range of 1 to 100) is assigned to display with the expectation degree “Δ” or the low expectation degree “O”. The degree of expectation indicates the degree of expectation for the jackpot, and a relationship of ○ <△ <☆ is set. For SR3-2, in order to clarify the explanation, the number of assigned random number values is shown in each table. In each table of FIGS. 21A and 21B, the display content of the corresponding display is displayed as “☆”, “Δ”, or “◯” depending on the value of SR3-2 extracted at a predetermined timing. Is determined. In addition, when displayed with “◯”, it is enlarged as “○” in the same form as the display mode of the hold storage displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18 c and only displayed in the corresponding display area 60. Therefore, “No change” is written in the display content column.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the data is set so that the ratio of the display of the corresponding display with “☆”, which is a high expectation level, is higher at the time of big hit than at the time of loss. Also, when comparing the normal reach and the super reach, the data is set so that the change rate of the super reach is higher than the normal reach, and the display content of the corresponding display with high expectation “☆” is higher. Yes. Therefore, by displaying “☆” in the corresponding display area 60, it can be understood that the degree of expectation of jackpot is high and the degree of expectation of becoming super reach is high.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the aforementioned effect setting process (S616). In effect setting, first, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the pre-reading notice execution flag is set (S720). The pre-reading notice execution flag is a flag that is set in the pre-reading notice execution process described later. By setting the pre-reading notice execution flag, it can be determined that the prefetching notice is being executed. If the pre-reading notice execution flag is not set in step S720, the presentation control CPU 101 determines whether the fluctuation display to be executed this time is a deviation pattern that is normally shifted based on the received presentation control command (fluctuation pattern designation command). It is determined whether or not (S721).

  Usually, if it is not a deviation variation pattern, it is a variation pattern that reaches reach (including both the reach deviation display result and the display result of the jackpot display result (which is always reach)), so SR3-1 is extracted, Based on the extracted value, whether or not to perform the corresponding display on the effect display device 9 is determined based on the reach time corresponding display execution determination table of FIG. 20A (S722). Next, it is determined whether or not the corresponding display time is to be executed based on the content determined in S722 (S723). When the corresponding display is executed (Y in S723), the effect control CPU 101 further determines whether or not the display result is a big hit based on the received effect control command (display result specifying command) ( S724). In S724, if the display result is a big hit, the display content of the corresponding display on the effect display device 9 is determined based on the big hit correspondence display content determination table in FIG. 21A based on the variation pattern (S725). ). At this time, the CPU 101 for effect control extracts SR3-2 and determines the display content of the corresponding display in each variation pattern to be one of “☆”, “Δ”, and “O” based on the extracted value. To do. Then, the process ends.

  In S721, if it is a variation pattern of normal deviation, SR3-1 is extracted, and based on the extracted value, correspondence display is performed on the effect display device 9 by the normal deviation correspondence display execution determination table of FIG. It is determined whether or not to perform (S726). Next, it is determined whether or not the corresponding display time is to be executed based on the content determined in S726 (S727). The effect control CPU 101 proceeds to the processing of S728 when it is determined that the corresponding display is executed in S727, and when the display result is not a big hit in S724 (when it is out of place). In S728, based on the variation pattern, the display content of the corresponding display on the effect display device 9 is determined based on the display error determination table at the time of loss (S728). At this time, the CPU 101 for effect control extracts SR3-2 and determines the display content of the corresponding display in each variation pattern to be one of “☆”, “Δ”, and “O” based on the extracted value. To do. Then, the process ends.

  When it is determined in the processing of S723 and S727 that the corresponding display is not executed (N in S723, Y in S727), the effect control CPU 101 holds in the corresponding display area 60 in the effect display device 9 (holding storage). ) To be erased without shifting. When it is determined that the corresponding display is not executed, the case where the hold is erased without being shifted to the corresponding display area 60 is shown. However, after the hold is shifted to the corresponding display area 60, for a moment (for example, several seconds). The hold may be displayed in the corresponding display area 60 only for a short time) and then deleted.

  In S720, if the pre-reading notice execution flag is set, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the current variation display is the corresponding display remaining hold storage (S730). It is determined by referring to the data determined in the process of S529 in the pre-read process described later. Specifically, the data held for each start winning is referred to the holding area provided in the RAM 103 mounted on the effect control board 80. In the storage area, data indicating whether or not the hold information at the time of winning the start is a hold that remains in the corresponding display area (data stored in S529 of the pre-reading notice process), and the display mode in the corresponding display Various data are stored, including data on whether to perform (data stored in S751 and S752 of the corresponding display expectation level determination process), and the CPU 101 for effect control confirms the data in the effect setting process. Thus, it can be determined whether or not the current variation display is the corresponding display residual storage.

  In S730, when it is determined that the current variable display is the corresponding display remaining hold storage (Y in S730), the effect control CPU 101 executes a corresponding display expectation level determination process (S731). Although the details of the corresponding display expectation level determination process will be described later, in the corresponding display expectation level determination process, the display mode when the reserved storage is displayed as the corresponding display is determined. Next, the display number n of the corresponding display set in the pre-reading notice process (n is a value indicating the display number to be displayed as the corresponding display out of the number of the stored storage when the target hold is generated) is subtracted by −1 (current fluctuation) Subtraction is performed because the display is completed (S733). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the display number n of the corresponding display is n = 0 (S734). When n = 0, it can be seen that the current variation display is the target variation display (variation display based on the target hold storage). This is because when the pre-reading notice is executed and the effect that the corresponding display is stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is executed, the display number of the corresponding display is set to n. This is because, when digested, n = 0 corresponds to target fluctuation display. If it is determined in S734 that n = 0, it is time to end the pre-reading notice, so the pre-reading notice execution flag is reset (S735), and the storage flag is set (S736). The process ends. Here, the storage flag moves the movable display device 96 downward from the appearance position as shown in FIG. 17B and stores it in the storage position as shown in FIG. This flag is set when executing. When this storage flag is set, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 28, control for causing the movable display device 96 to be stored in the storage position is performed by the effect symbol fluctuation stop process when the effect symbol fluctuation is stopped.

  If n = 0 is not satisfied in S734 described above (N in S734), the target is not yet displayed, so the process ends without resetting the pre-reading notice execution flag.

  In S730, when it is determined that the current variable display is not the corresponding display remaining reserved storage (N in S730), it is determined to delete the reserved stored image without shifting to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. (S732). In such a case, after the hold is shifted to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the hold stored image is displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 for a moment and then deleted. May be. After S732, the process proceeds to S734. In S734, since the number of corresponding displays has not been subtracted and the target fluctuation display has not yet been performed, the process ends without resetting the pre-reading notice execution flag (N in S734). In the determination in S725, S728, S729, S731, and S732 in the effect setting process, the leftmost side displayed on the summed hold storage display unit 18c based on the summed pending memory number subtraction designation command at each start of the production symbol variation. It is determined that the display of the reserved stored image is erased and the display of the reserved stored image on the left side of the reserved stored image is shifted to the left side. Further, in S730, when it is determined that the current fluctuation display is not the corresponding display residual hold storage, the corresponding display is executed based on the hold storage information digested this time by the same process as the process after S721. It may be determined whether or not to perform the determination and the display contents of the corresponding display.

  FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram of a pre-reading notice display execution determination table. The pre-reading notice corresponding display execution determination table is a data table used when determining whether or not to perform the corresponding display as a prefetching notice effect in the prefetch notice process (S500). As shown in the table of FIG. 23, random numbers SR3-3 (1 to 90) for determining the pre-reading notice corresponding display execution when the corresponding display is performed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 and when the corresponding display is not performed. Value range) is assigned. For SR3-3, the number of assigned random values is shown in each table for clarity of explanation. In the table of FIG. 21, it is determined whether or not to perform the corresponding display as the pre-reading notice effect based on the value of SR3-3 extracted at a predetermined timing. Whether or not to perform the correspondence display may be determined by different allocation depending on whether or not the target storage is a big hit.

  FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram of a corresponding display number determination table. The correspondence display number determination table is a table used when it is determined that the correspondence display is executed in the prefetching notice process (S500). Display remaining pending storage number). Different tables are selected as the corresponding display number determination table depending on whether the variable display based on the target hold storage is a big hit or not. FIG. 24A shows a display table for determining the number of correspondence corresponding to big hits, which is selected when the display result of the variable display based on the target hold storage becomes a big hit, and FIG. 24B shows the results based on the target hold storage. A table for determining the number of display corresponding to loss is selected when the display result of the variable display is lost.

  As shown in the corresponding display number determination table of FIG. 24, a random number SR3-4 (1) for determining the corresponding display number (corresponding display remaining reserved memory number) with respect to the reserved memory number when there is a start winning that becomes a target hold. (Value range of ~ 360) is assigned. For SR3-6, the number of assigned random values is shown in each table for clarity of explanation. In the table of FIG. 24, the corresponding display number (the number of displays stored as the corresponding display) corresponding to the number of reserved storages is determined by the value of SR3-4 extracted at a predetermined timing.

  As shown in the big hit correspondence display number determination table of FIG. 24A, in the case of big hit, the maximum value of the number of reserved storages stored in the corresponding display area when a start winning that becomes a target hold according to the number of reserved memories occurs. Is easier to select. Specifically, when the number of stored storages is 5, random numbers are assigned so that 5 having the largest number of corresponding displays among the corresponding display numbers 1 to 5 is easily selected.

  In addition, as shown in the table for determining the number of display corresponding to losing in FIG. 24 (B), the minimum number of stored storage that is stored in the corresponding display when a start winning that becomes target suspending according to the number of stored storage occurs at the time of detachment. The value is easy to select. Specifically, when the number of stored storages is 5, random numbers are allocated so that 1 having the smallest corresponding display number among the corresponding display numbers 1 to 5 is easily selected.

  When the corresponding display number is allocated as in the corresponding display number determination table of FIG. 24, when the pre-reading notice effect is being executed and the display result of the variable display based on the target hold is a big hit, the target Control is performed so that the number of corresponding displays stored (remaining) in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is larger than when the display result of the variable display based on hold is out of place. Therefore, when the reserved storage image remains in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the more the reserved storage images are accumulated, the higher the expectation that the display result of the variable display based on the target storage storage information becomes a big hit. Get higher. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of corresponding displays in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, and the interest of the game is improved.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the prefetch notice process (S500). In the pre-reading notice process, the production control CPU 101 first checks the stored contents in the start winning reception command buffer, and determines whether or not a newly added total stored number designation command, symbol designation command, variation type command has been received. Determination is made (S520). If these commands are not present in the start winning reception command buffer (N in S520), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if these commands are received, the process proceeds to S521.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the newly received variation type command is a variation pattern type of the super reach type (S521). In this embodiment, when the newly received variation type command is the variation pattern type of the super reach type, the pre-reading notice effect is executed, and the variation display is displayed as the variation display of the target (the target storage memory). (Variable display based on). If the newly received variation type command is not the variation pattern type of the super reach type (N in S521), the process is terminated.

  When the newly received variation type command is the variation pattern type of the super reach type (Y in S521), it is determined whether or not the pre-reading notice execution flag is set (S522). The pre-reading notice execution flag is a flag for determining whether or not the pre-reading notice effect is currently being executed, and is set in the process of S530 described later. If the pre-reading notice execution flag is set in S522 (Y in S522), the process ends. If the pre-reading notice execution flag is not set in S522 (N in S522), the process proceeds to S523.

  In S523, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether to perform the corresponding display based on the pre-reading notice corresponding display execution determination table. Next, based on the result determined in S523, it is determined whether or not to perform correspondence display (S524). If the correspondence display is not executed (N in S524), the process is terminated. When the corresponding display time is executed (Y in S524), it is determined whether or not the newly received symbol designation command is a command indicating a jackpot display result (S525).

  When the newly received symbol designating command is a command indicating the jackpot display result (Y in S525), it is dealt with based on the current number of pending storage by the jackpot corresponding display number determination table of FIG. Determine the number of displays. Next, the determined corresponding display number is set to n (S528). If the newly received symbol designating command is not a jackpot display result (N in S525), the display result is out of order. The corresponding display number is determined based on the above. Next, the determined corresponding display number is set to n (S528).

  After the processing of S528, it is determined that n reserved memories remain in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 from the target variation display (corresponding display remaining reserved memory is determined) (S529). In the process of S529, when the corresponding display number n corresponding to the hold storage at the time when the target start winning is generated is determined, the hold display close to the target change display is used for the corresponding display. Specifically, when the start winning of the target occurs and the corresponding display is executed, if the number of the stored storage at that time is 5 and the corresponding display is 3, 1, which is digested first, For the second reserved memory, the corresponding display is not performed, but the corresponding display is performed for the third to fifth reserved memory. Data indicating which corresponding display remaining storage is to be stored (data having the corresponding display number n) is held in a holding area provided in the RAM 103 mounted on the effect control board 80. Then, after it is determined which of the correspondence display residual hold memories is to be set, a prefetch notice execution flag is set (S530).

  After the processing of S530, the movable display motor 97 is driven, and the movable display device 96 is moved upward from the storage position as shown in FIG. 17A, as shown in FIG. Control is performed to execute an action of appearing at an appearance position that is such a specific action position (S531). Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), the display positions of the background image 94, the effect symbol display areas 91, 92, 93 and the summed hold storage display unit 18 c are changed by the appearance operation of the movable display device 96. These display areas are obtained by executing a process of moving a predetermined amount of movement (the same amount of movement) in a predetermined direction (the same direction) from the current first display position where a part of the reserved stored image is difficult to visually recognize. The movement display control is performed to move the images displayed on the screen to a second display position where all the stored images can be visually recognized, for example, in a movement mode in which the images are slid to the right by a predetermined movement amount when viewed from the front. (S532). Then, the process ends.

  As described above, the hold memory stored in the holding area provided in the RAM 103 mounted on the effect control board 80 is determined to be super reach, and the hold memory existing before the target hold memory is determined. Is controlled so that the corresponding display remains in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Therefore, by executing an effect in which the corresponding display remains in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the display mode of the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is displayed to the player with respect to a plurality of variable displays. It can be noticed and the interest of the game is improved.

  Further, when the movable display device 96 moves to a specific operation position (appearance position) at which the reserved stored image displayed at the first display position is difficult to visually recognize in S531, the entire stored stored image can be viewed. Moving display control for moving a reserved storage image such as the image of the summed hold storage display unit 18c and a predetermined effect image such as the background image 94 so that the hold storage image is displayed at the second display position. Therefore, it becomes possible to suppress a change in the relative positional relationship of the reserved stored image in the image displayed on the effect display device 9, and the player feels uncomfortable with respect to the movement of the reserved display. It can suppress being confused.

  The operation of moving and causing the movable display device 56 to appear as in S531 and the operation of moving and displaying the reserved storage image, the background image, and the effect design image in S532 are based on the target fluctuation determined in S528. Based on the information on the number of n reserved storages, the control may be performed to execute the operation at the timing when the reserved storage remaining as the corresponding display image shifts.

  FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram of a correspondence display expectation level determination table. The corresponding display expectation level determination table is a table used when determining the expectation level of the corresponding display in the corresponding display expectation level determination process of S731 in the effect setting process (S616). As the correspondence display expectation level determination table, a different table is selected depending on whether it is a big hit or not. FIG. 26 (A) shows a display expectation determination table corresponding to big hit when used when the display result is a big hit, and FIG. 26 (B) shows a display expectation corresponding to lost time used when the display result is out of order. A degree determination table is shown.

  In each of the tables of FIGS. 26A and 26B, the display content to be displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is displayed with a high expectation “☆” or a medium expectation. The value of the random number SR3-5 (numerical range of 1 to 80) for determining the corresponding display expectation level is assigned to display with “Δ” or “O” with a low expectation level. For SR3-5, in order to clarify the explanation, the number of assigned random number values is shown in each table. In each table of FIGS. 26A and 26B, whether the display content of the corresponding display is displayed as “☆”, “Δ”, or “◯” according to the value of SR3-5 extracted at a predetermined timing. Is determined. In addition, when it displays with "(circle)", it becomes large with "(circle)" of the same form as the display mode of the pending | holding memory | storage displayed on the total pending | holding memory | storage display part 18c, and corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 "No change" is written in the display content column.

  As shown in FIG. 26, at the time of big hit, the random number value is assigned so that the proportion of the display contents of the corresponding display with high expectation is higher than that at the time of loss. Further, at the time of loss, the random number values are assigned so that the proportion of the display contents of the corresponding display with a low expectation is higher than that at the time of the big hit. Therefore, the player can expect that the display result based on the target hold storage will be a big hit by storing “☆” with high expectation in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. If the corresponding display remains, it means that the target change display is super-reach in the pre-reading notice process, so the accumulation of “☆” indicates that the expectation that is a big hit of super-reach is high. ing.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the corresponding display expectation level determination process showing the process of S731 in the effect setting process (S616). In the corresponding display expectation level determination processing, the CPU 101 for effect control receives a big hit based on the target hold information stored in the holding area provided in the RAM 103 mounted on the effect control board 80. It is determined whether or not (S750). When the display result based on the target hold storage is a big hit (Y in S750), SR3-5 is extracted, and based on the extracted value, the display expectation degree determination table corresponding to the big hit at FIG. The display content of the corresponding display to be left in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is determined (S751). If the display result based on the target storage is out of order (N in S750), SR3-5 is extracted, and based on the extracted value, the display expectation determination table for correspondence at the time of outage is shown in FIG. Thus, the display content of the corresponding display to be left in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is determined (S752). Data indicating the display contents of the corresponding display that remains in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is stored in a holding area provided in the RAM 103 mounted on the effect control board 80. Then, after the processes of S751 and S752, the corresponding display expectation level determination process is terminated. It should be noted that the display contents of the correspondence display remaining in the correspondence display area 960 of the movable display device 96 are not determined in the same proportion as to which correspondence display is to be uniform in this way, but the target storage is currently stored. The allocation may be made different depending on the number of the stored storages among the stored storages, the remaining number of times (the remaining number of times of variable display up to the target) and the corresponding display.

  In this way, display control is performed so that the target storage is different in the degree of expectation of the big hit according to the display mode of the corresponding display accumulated in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Therefore, the player can be made to pay attention to the display mode of the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, and the interest of the game is improved.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation stop process (S803) in the effect control process. In the effect symbol variation stop process, the effect control CPU 101 performs the following process.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not a stop symbol display flag indicating that the stop symbol of the effect symbol is being displayed is set (S850). If the stop symbol display flag is set, the process proceeds to S856 described later. In this embodiment, when the big hit symbol is displayed as the stop symbol of the effect symbol, the stop symbol display flag is set in S855. Then, the stop symbol display flag is reset in S857 when a game start screen display (fanfare effect) indicating that a game in the big hit gaming state is started is executed. Accordingly, the fact that the stop symbol display flag is set is a stage where the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, but the fanfare effect is not yet executed, so the process of displaying the stop symbol of the effect symbol in S851 to S854 is executed. Without proceeding, the process proceeds to S856.

  If the stop symbol display flag is not set, it is confirmed whether or not a confirmation command reception flag that is set (set in the command analysis process) is set when a symbol confirmation designation command is received (S851). . If the confirmation command reception flag is set, the confirmation command reception flag is reset (S852). And it is stored in the effect symbol display result storage area (area of RAM 103) provided in the RAM 103 and storing (storing) data indicating the stop symbol of the effect symbol determined in the effect symbol variation start process (S801). Control for deriving and displaying a stop symbol according to the data is performed (S853).

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the aforementioned storage flag is set (S853A). When the storage flag is not set, there is no need to store the movable display device 96, and the process proceeds to S854. On the other hand, when the storage flag is set, it is time to end the effect of the pre-reading notice, and since it is necessary to store the movable display device 96 at the appearance position, the movable display motor 97 is driven to display the movable display. The device 96 is moved downward from the appearance position as shown in FIG. 17B, and control is performed to execute the operation of storing it in the storage position as shown in FIG. 17A (S853B).

  Then, the movement display control state in which the background image 94, the production symbol display areas 91, 92, 93, and the summed hold storage display unit 18c are moved and displayed as shown in FIG. The display position is changed from the second display position to the original first display position from the second display position after the movement display control according to the appearance operation of the movable display device 96 from the second display position in a predetermined direction (the same By executing a process of moving a predetermined amount of movement (same return movement amount) in the return direction), the images displayed in these display areas are collectively moved, for example, by a predetermined amount of movement to the left when viewed from the front. The moving display control is performed to move to the original first display position in the moving mode (S853C). Next, the storage flag is reset, and the process proceeds to S854.

  When the process proceeds to S854, the effect control CPU 101 confirms whether or not it is determined to be a big hit (S854). Whether or not the jackpot is determined is confirmed, for example, by a display result specifying command stored in a display result specifying command storage area that is provided in the RAM 3 and stores (stores) data of the received display result specifying command. . In this embodiment, it can be confirmed whether or not it is determined to be a big hit based on the determined stop symbol.

  If it is determined to be a big hit, a stop symbol display flag is set (S855). Then, when a big hit start designation command is received, a big hit start designation command reception flag set by the command analysis process (704) (a big hit start 1 designation command reception flag indicating that a big hit start 1 designation command has been received, a big hit start It is confirmed whether or not a big hit start 2 designation command reception flag indicating that a 2 designation command has been received or a big hit start 3 designation command reception flag indicating that a big hit start 3 designation command has been received (S856). . If any jackpot start designation command reception flag is set, the jackpot start designation command reception flag and the stop symbol display flag are reset (S857).

  Then, a game start screen corresponding to the jackpot start designation command for which the jackpot start designation command reception flag is set (a fanfare effect screen in the case of a jackpot start 1 designation command or a jackpot start 2 designation command in the case of 15 rounds of jackpot, suddenly In the case of a big hit start 3 designation command at the time of a promising big hit, a process table for producing an effect for displaying an effect screen for a promising big hit (an effect screen not implying that it is a big hit) on the effect display device 9 is selected. (S858). Thereby, the control for displaying the game start screen in the big hit gaming state is performed. Next, the process timer is started by setting the process timer set value in the process timer (S859), and the rendering device is performed according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1). Control of the effect display device 9 as an effect part, various lamps as an effect part, and the speaker 27 as an effect part is executed (S860). Thereby, execution of the effect which displays the game start screen of the hit game state selected by S858 is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S804) (S861).

  If it is determined in S854 that it is not a big hit (if it is determined to be out of play), the effect control CPU 101 sets the value of the effect control process flag to a variation pattern command reception waiting process (S800). ) Is updated to a value according to (S862). By this. It will be in the reception waiting state of the fluctuation pattern command.

  In the case of suddenly probable big hit, in order to produce an effect that does not suggest that the big hit has been made, in S854, it is determined whether it is a normal big hit or probable big hit of 15 rounds, and either big hit is determined. If so, the process may proceed to S856. In that case, when suddenly a big hit is probable, the process proceeds from S854 to S862 (the big hit start designation command reception flag and stop symbol display flag are reset before proceeding to S862). You may make it perform the same production.

  In this embodiment, the production control microcomputer 100 ends the production symbol variation display on the condition that the symbol confirmation designation command is received (see S851 and S853). However, if the variation time timer based on the received variation pattern command times out, the variation display of the effect symbol may be controlled to end without receiving the symbol determination designation command. In that case, the game control microcomputer 560 may not transmit the symbol confirmation designation command for designating the end of the variable display.

  In the embodiment described above, when the reach effect is executed, the control for reducing the appearance area of the movable display device 96 is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 when the reach effect is not executed. Also good. According to such a configuration, when the specific effect such as the reach effect is executed in the effect display device 9 as the first effect display means, the second effect display means is compared with the case where the specific effect is not executed. Since the movable display device 96 is controlled so as to reduce the range overlapping the specific area (corresponding display area 60) for corresponding display in the effect display device 9 as the first effect display means, execution of the corresponding display is maintained. However, it is possible to prevent the corresponding display from interfering with the specific effect. When the display control for executing the corresponding display in the movable display device 96 is performed when the movable control for moving the movable display device 96 to a position that does not overlap with the effect display device 9 is performed, when the reach effect is executed, The control for reducing the amount of movement of the movable display device 96 may be executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 as compared with the case where the reach effect is not executed (in this case, the movable display device 96 is operated by the effect display device). The corresponding display is executed on the movable display device 96 even when movement control that does not overlap with 9 is performed.)

  In addition, when performing display control for displaying the correspondence on the movable display device 96, the control for moving the movable display device 96 back to the storage position is performed by using the correspondence display on the movable display device 96 instead of the timing for ending the variable display. You may make it perform at the timing which erases.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, the example which performs a corresponding display in the effect display apparatus 9 when the movable display apparatus 96 exists in the accommodation position was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the movable display device 96 is in the storage position, the display device 9 does not display the corresponding display, and the movable display device 96 is in a predetermined position such as the appearance position (the movable display device 96 is the production display device). 9 and a predetermined position that does not overlap with the effect display device 9), the movable display device 96 and the effect display device 9 have a specific positional relationship. The correspondence display may be performed only when

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the effect display device 9 is fixed is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect display device 9 can be operated using a predetermined drive source, and the movable display device 96 is moved. By performing movement control to move the effect display device 9 in response to the display, the movable display device 96 and the effect display device 9 are made to have a specific positional relationship, the corresponding display is performed by the movable display device 96, and You may make it perform the movement display of a holding | maintenance storage image and predetermined effect images (background image 94 grade | etc.,).

  When the movement control is performed so that the movable display device 96 is operated at the timing when the corresponding display image is accumulated in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the movement is started at the start of the variable display based on the hold memory (hold memory image) stored as the corresponding display image. You may make it make it. Specifically, it may be controlled to start the operation of the movable display device 96 when it is determined in S730 of FIG.

  When the movement control is performed so that the movable display device 96 is operated at the timing when the corresponding display image is accumulated in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the movement is started at the start of the variable display based on the hold memory (hold memory image) stored as the corresponding display image. You may make it make it. Specifically, it may be controlled to start the operation of the movable display device 96 when it is determined in S730 of FIG.

  When the movement control is performed to operate the movable display device 96 at the timing when the corresponding display image is stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the variable display based on the hold storage (hold storage image) stored as the corresponding display image is executed. At the start of the fluctuation display of the previous fluctuation display (fluctuation display based on the hold memory stored before the accumulated storage), the fluctuation display (variation display based on the hold memory stored before the accumulation storage) The operation of the movable display device 96 may be started at the timing when the variable display is stopped during the variable display or when the variable display is stopped (the variable display based on the stored storage stored before the stored storage). Specifically, in S801, S802, and S803 in FIG. 16, a process for determining whether or not the next variation display is a reserved storage that is stored as a corresponding display image at 730 is performed, and the storage is stored as a corresponding display image. When it is determined whether or not, the operation of the movable display device 96 may be started at the timing when the variable display is started, during the variable display, or when the variable display is stopped. As described above, the movable display device 96 is operated at a timing related to the fluctuation display before the fluctuation display based on the hold memory accumulated as the corresponding display image is executed (the fluctuation display based on the hold memory stored before the accumulation memory to be accumulated). As an example of starting the above operation, the display may be a change display one time before the change display based on the hold storage accumulated as the corresponding display image is executed. For example, the change display may be performed a plurality of times such as a change display two times before or three times before. You may make it perform for the previous fluctuation | variation display.

  Further, as control for displaying the corresponding display image in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, as described above, at a timing related to the variable display before the variable display based on the hold storage stored as the corresponding display image is executed. Including the case where the operation of the movable display device 96 is started, at the time of starting the change, the hold storage image is temporarily shifted to the corresponding display area 60 of the effect display device 9, and then the movable display device 96 is moved and moved. The corresponding display image displayed in the corresponding display area 60 of the effect display device 9 is displayed on the movable display device 96 at a predetermined timing such as when the movement operation is completed (when moving to the appearance position) or after the movement operation is completed. Display control for shifting to the corresponding display area 960 may be performed.

  Further, as a control for displaying the corresponding display image in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, a control example in which the corresponding stored image is directly shifted to the corresponding display region 960 of the movable display device 96 and the corresponding display image is displayed. , Including a control example in which the stored display image is temporarily shifted to the corresponding display area 60 of the effect display device 9 to display the corresponding display image and then the corresponding display image is shifted to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Any of the predetermined timing such as during the movement operation of the device 96, when the operation is completed (when moved to the appearance position), during the movement operation, when the movement operation is completed (when moved to the appearance position), or after the movement operation is completed. It may be executed at the timing.

  In addition, the timing for displaying the corresponding display image in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 can be selected from a plurality of types of timings, and during the moving operation or when the moving operation is completed according to the expected magnitude of the big hit The timing for selecting each of a plurality of types of timings such as after completion of the moving operation may be different.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1) As shown in FIG. 17B, when the movable display device 96 moves to an appearance position in the vicinity of the first display position where the reserved stored image can be displayed, the reserved stored image becomes visible. As shown in FIG. 17B, the moving display control for moving the reserved stored image and the predetermined effect image such as the background image 94 is performed so that the stored stored image is displayed at the display position 2. As described above, it is possible to prevent the reserved stored image from being difficult to view. Further, it becomes possible to suppress a change in the relative positional relationship of the reserved stored image in the displayed image (including the background image 94), and the player has a sense of incongruity in the production regarding the movement of the reserved stored image. It can suppress being confused.

  (2) As shown in FIG. 17B, when moving display control is performed, the amount of movement of the reserved stored image in the combined hold storage display unit 18c and the amount of movement of a predetermined effect image such as the background image 94 are displayed. Since it becomes the same, it becomes possible to suppress a change in the relative positional relationship between the reserved stored image and the predetermined effect image, and the player feels uncomfortable with the effect regarding the movement of the reserved memory image. Can be further suppressed.

  (3) As shown in FIG. 17, the reserved stored image of the combined reserved storage display unit 18c is displayed in a manner overlapping with the background image 94 as the predetermined effect image, so that the reserved memory image and the predetermined effect image are displayed. And can be confirmed at the same time. Furthermore, by displaying in an overlapping manner in this way, it is possible to further suppress the player from being confused and having a sense of discomfort when moving the reserved stored image and the predetermined effect image.

  (4) As shown in FIG. 17B, with respect to the reserved storage image, the display area itself of the summed storage display unit 18c moves, so that the reserved storage image is not displayed before the execution of the movement display control. Even when, the hold storage image newly displayed after the movement display control is executed is displayed at the position of the display area of the combined hold storage display unit 18c after the movement display. Thereby, even when the hold storage image is not displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c, when the movable display device 96 moves to the appearance position, the display position of the background image 94 as the predetermined effect image is moved. Therefore, the player can be further prevented from feeling uncomfortable and confused when displaying the stored storage image corresponding to the generation of the stored storage information at the display position after the moving display control.

  (5) When the movable display device 96 appears in front of the effect display device 9 as shown in FIG. 17B, the corresponding display content is determined by the movable display device 96 in S751 and S752 of FIG. When the corresponding display is executed in S620 of FIG. 16 and S802 of FIG. 16, when the effect display device 9 as the first effect display means and the movable display device 96 as the second effect display means have a specific positional relationship, Since the predetermined correspondence display is executed on the movable display device 96 as the second effect display means, the player can be focused on the positional relationship between the effect display device 9 and the movable display device 96, and the effect can be changed. It can be rich.

  (6) As shown in FIG. 17B, when the movable display device 96 as the second effect display means appears in front of the effect display device 9 as the first effect display means, S751 and S752 in FIG. The corresponding display content is determined by the movable display device 96, and the second effect display means overlaps with the specific area of the first effect display means, as shown in step S620 in FIG. 19 and in step S802 in FIG. When the relative positional relationship is established, the second effect display means executes a predetermined correspondence display. Therefore, even if the second effect display means executes the predetermined correspondence display, the player will see the predetermined correspondence display. Since the position where the display is executed does not change, it is possible to suppress the player from being confused and having an uncomfortable feeling in the production.

  (7) As shown in FIGS. 18 (f) to 18 (h), at the start of the variable display, the hold storage image corresponding to the hold storage information at which the variable display is started is used as the effect display device 9 as the first effect display means. Since a predetermined corresponding display is executed in the movable display device 96 in such a manner that the movable display device 96 is moved to the movable display device 96 as the second effect display means, the relative positional relationship between the first effect display means and the second effect display means is established. On the other hand, the player can be more focused.

  (8) As shown in the modification in which the control for reducing the appearance area of the movable display device 96 is performed when the reach effect is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100, compared to when the reach effect is not executed. When the specific effect such as the reach effect is executed in the effect display device 9 as the first effect display means, the movable display device 96 as the second effect display means is compared with the case where the specific effect is not executed. Since the control for reducing the range overlapping the specific area of the first effect display means is performed, the corresponding display can be prevented from hindering the specific effect while maintaining the execution of the corresponding display.

  (9) As for the reserved storage image, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 25, the reserved storage stored in the holding area provided in the RAM 103 mounted on the effect control board 80 is the super reach (super reach variation pattern). When it is determined that the corresponding display is displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the corresponding display corresponding to the newly executed variable display is displayed in the corresponding display area of the movable display device 96. Control performed at 960 is performed (S521, S731). Therefore, the corresponding display carried over in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 allows the player to focus on the display mode of the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 with respect to a plurality of variable displays. The fun of gaming is improved.

  (10) As shown in FIG. 24 and FIG. 25, when the target hold storage is super reach, an effect display in which the reserved hold is accumulated as a corresponding display in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 as a pre-reading notice. Is executed. When the display result based on the target hold memory is a big hit, the display result based on the target hold memory is accumulated (residual) in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 as compared with the case where the display result is out of place. Control is performed so that the number of corresponding displays increases. Therefore, when the hold memory remains in the correspondence display, the higher the hold memory stored, the higher the expectation that the display result based on the target hold memory will be a big hit. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of corresponding displays in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (11) As shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 27, when the display result based on the target hold storage is a big hit, the random number value is set so that the proportion of the display content of the corresponding display is displayed at a high degree of expectation from the time of the loss. Is allocated. Further, at the time of loss, the random number values are assigned so that the proportion of the display contents of the corresponding display with a low expectation is higher than that at the time of the big hit. Therefore, the player can expect that the display result based on the target hold storage is a big hit by storing “☆” with high expectation in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. As described above, when an effect that the corresponding display is stored for the super reach variation type is executed as the pre-reading notice, the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is displayed according to the display result based on the target storage. Since the display mode to be displayed is different, the player can pay attention to the display contents of the corresponding display accumulated in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (12) As shown in FIGS. 18, 26, and 27, the effect control CPU 101 expects the target in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 when the variable display is started with respect to the target storage. The control to change the corresponding display is executed according to the degree. That is, it shows how the target hold memory changes when shifting to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Specifically, when the variation based on the target hold 61 is started, the target hold displayed with “◯” in the total hold storage display unit 18c is shifted to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, For example, “☆” is displayed in the corresponding display area. As described above, since the correspondence display changes during the target variation display, attention can be paid to the variation display based on the hold storage corresponding to the target variation display, and the interest of the game is improved.

Next, modifications, feature points, and the like of the embodiment described above are listed below.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the example using the movable display device 96 capable of displaying an image as the movable body is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a movable member such as an accessory that does not display an image may be used as the movable body instead of the movable display device 96. Such a movable member may be a member having an electrical component such as an LED, or a member not having any electrical component (for example, a movable member having a decorative design, or a decorative design not being made) Movable material having a shape).

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the example using the movable display device 96 capable of displaying an image as the movable body has been described. However, the image display unit in the movable body is provided in a partial region of the movable body. Alternatively, it may be provided in the entire region of the movable body. In addition, such a movable body includes a translucent image display unit (the image display unit is transparent or translucent, and a transmissive display device (for example, a liquid crystal display device) that can be seen through from the front side to the back side of the image display unit. , An organic electroluminescence display device, etc.).

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, in accordance with the movement control of the movable body composed of the movable display device 96, the reserved storage image on the effect display device 9 and the predetermined effect image such as the background image are moved. An example of performing display control was shown. The timing for executing the display control for moving the hold storage image and the effect image on the effect display device 9 in this way is the same as the start of the movement control operation of the movable body, and a predetermined time before the start of the movement control operation of the movable body ( (Several seconds) and after a specific time (several seconds) from the start of the movement control operation of the movable body. Specifically, any timing may be used as long as the entire stored image can be visually recognized as a result of the movement of the movable body.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, when the display control for moving the hold storage image and the background image on the effect display device 9 is performed according to the movement control of the movable body formed of the movable display device 96, the hold is performed. An example is shown in which the movement amount of the stored image is the same as the movement amount of the predetermined effect image such as the background image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and control may be performed so that the amount of movement of the reserved stored image is different from the amount of movement of the predetermined effect image. For example, as a result, it is only necessary that at least the entire stored memory image can be visually recognized. Therefore, the movement amount of the reserved memory image may be controlled to be larger than the movement amount of the predetermined effect image.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, in accordance with the movement control of the movable body constituted by the movable display device 96, the display for moving the reserved storage image on the effect display device 9 and the predetermined effect image such as the background image is moved. When the control is performed, an example is shown in which the moving direction of the reserved stored image is the same as the moving direction of the predetermined effect image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and control may be performed so that the moving direction of the reserved stored image is different from the moving direction of the predetermined effect image. For example, as a result, it is sufficient that at least the entire reserved stored image is visible.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, a predetermined effect image such as a background image is moved in addition to the reserved storage image in the effect display device 9 in accordance with the movement control of the movable body composed of the movable display device 96. An example of performing display control was shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect image to be moved according to the movement control of the movable body may include other effect images such as an effect symbol image, a character image, and a message image. Further, the predetermined effect image to be moved according to the movement control of the movable body may be all of a plurality of types of effect images such as a background image, an effect symbol image, a character image, and a message image. Effect image (any one type of image, or an image of any combination of two or more types).

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the correspondence display is executed in the correspondence display area 960 of the movable display device 96 according to the movement control of the movable display device 96 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the corresponding display area 60 may be moved to a predetermined display area of the effect display device 9 so that the corresponding display is not performed on the movable display device 96.

  (8) In the above-described embodiment, when the corresponding display is executed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 according to the movement control of the movable display device 96, the corresponding display area 60 is displayed on the effect display device 9. An example that does not. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when the corresponding display is executed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the corresponding display area 60 may be continuously displayed on the effect display device 9.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the hold storage image displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18 c is moved within the display area of the effect display device 9 according to the movement control of the movable display device 96 has been shown. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reserved storage image itself may be moved from the effect display device 9 to the display area of the movable display device 96 and displayed in accordance with the movement control of the movable display device 96. Even in this case, the entire reserved stored image is displayed at any position of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, in accordance with the movement control of the movable body configured by the movable display device 96, in addition to the reserved storage image in the effect display device 9, other effect images such as the fourth symbol, Time information, number information indicating the number of executions of variable display in which the time reduction state continues or the number of remaining times of variable display), and probability variation information (number of executions of variable display in which the probability variation state continues or remaining display of fluctuation display) Display control may be performed to move other images including an information image such as frequency information indicating the number of times so that the entire image can be visually recognized. Here, the 4th symbol is a symbol provided as the 4th symbol after the effect symbol, the special symbol, and the normal symbol as the symbols for the variable display, and the special symbol (first and second special symbols). ) Is changed and displayed in a manner that is always visible on a display device such as the effect display device 9 by a certain operation. When the 4th symbol is variably displayed, an effect that the effect content including the variability display of the effect symbol disappears for a moment from the screen is performed, or the movable body is wholly or partially on the screen of the effect display device 9. Even if it is difficult to recognize the effect symbol such as when an effect such as shielding is performed, it is possible to recognize whether or not the current variation display is in progress.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, the moving display control is performed to move the reserved memory image when it is considered that at least a part of the reserved memory image is difficult to be visually recognized by the player based on the operation of the movable body. An example is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of the reserved stored image does not reach a state that is difficult for the player to visually recognize based on the movement of the movable body. When the display becomes difficult for the player to recognize, the moving display control for moving the reserved stored image may be performed. Specifically, when the display of at least a part of the reserved stored image is difficult for the player to recognize, the movable object holds the image when the movable object displays an image similar to the reserved stored image or the light emitter emits light. This includes a state in which when the player approaches the stored image, these displays and at least a part of the stored stored image are confusing and difficult to distinguish for the player.

  (12) In the above-described embodiment, a pseudo-continuous effect may be executed as the effect executed in the variable display. The pseudo-continuous is a pseudo-continuous variation that is an effect display that makes it appear that a plurality of variations corresponding to a plurality of reserved memories are continuously performed although it is originally a variation corresponding to one reserved memory. Is an abbreviation for Further, as an effect executed in the variable display, a slide effect may be executed. Slip refers to an effect display in which the symbol is slid from the predicted stop position immediately before the symbol stops in the variable display. For example, an effect in which a pseudo-continuous effect and a corresponding display are associated may be executed. Specifically, an effect of storing corresponding displays corresponding to a plurality of fluctuations may be executed in the corresponding display area for each of a plurality of fluctuations of the pseudo-continuous for which the pseudo-continuous effects are executed. At this time, the correspondence display to be accumulated may be displayed such that display contents with a high expectation degree for each jackpot are accumulated for each change. Also, the degree of expectation of jackpot may be different depending on the number of correspondence displays stored.

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, in order to notify the microcomputer for effect control of the change pattern indicating the change mode such as the change time, the type of reach effect, the presence / absence of pseudo-ream, etc. Although an example of transmitting the variation pattern command has been shown, the variation pattern may be notified to the effect control microcomputer by two or more commands. Specifically, in the case of notifying by two commands, the game control microcomputer uses the first command to indicate whether there is a pseudo-ream, a slip effect, etc. before reaching (so-called second if not reaching). A command indicating the fluctuation time and fluctuation mode is transmitted before the stop, and the second command is the so-called second stop after reaching the reach such as the type of reach and the presence / absence of the redrawing effect (if the reach is not reach) A command indicating the variation time and variation mode of (after) may be transmitted. In this case, the effect control microcomputer may perform effect control in variable display based on the variable time derived from the combination of two commands. In the game control microcomputer, the change time is notified by each of the two commands, and a specific change mode executed at each timing is selected by the effect control microcomputer. Also good. When two commands are sent, the two commands may be transmitted within the same timer interrupt. After the first command is transmitted, a predetermined period elapses (for example, the next timer interrupt). The second command may be transmitted. Note that the variation mode indicated by each command is not limited to this example, and the order of transmission can be appropriately changed. In this way, by notifying the variation pattern by two or more commands, the amount of data that must be stored as the variation pattern command can be reduced. In the configuration in which the change pattern is notified to the effect control microcomputer by two commands in this way, the determination result of the display result by the effect process at the time of winning in the second command after transmitting the first command, In addition, based on the fact that the prefetch determination information such as the variation pattern type is transmitted and the second command is received, the prefetch notice effect as shown in the above-described embodiment may be executed. Good.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, the correspondence display stored in the correspondence display area 960 of the movable display device 96 changes the shape of the hold display. However, the hold display is displayed with a predetermined character. When a predetermined character shifts to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the mode may be changed. Specifically, the hold display may be represented only by the face of a predetermined character, and the whole body may be displayed when moving to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Further, when moving to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, if an effect that a predetermined character moves is executed, the player can easily understand that it is a notice for the currently executed variable display. it can. As described above, the hold display mode and the corresponding display mode displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 can be appropriately changed. The display content at the stage displayed in the hold display and the display content of the corresponding display displayed at the stage stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 may be displayed in the same manner.

  (15) In the above-described embodiment, an effect may be executed in which the corresponding display stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 acts on the symbol during the variable display. For example, the effect acting on the symbol acts on the variable display of the symbol by a predetermined character stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 shooting a pistol on the symbol on the variable display and attacking the symbol. It is a production that (influences). As described above, when an effect acting on the variable display of the symbol is executed, the display is stopped by executing a specific effect (an effect advantageous to the player) such as the above-described pseudo-continuous effect or the slip effect. There is an effect in which the symbol is affected by some action such as the symbol being changed. Then, with respect to the effect acting on the symbol and the notice effect, the effect control CPU 101 determines what kind of effect is performed based on the variation pattern command sent from the game control microcomputer 560 side to the effect control microcomputer 100 side. It is possible to determine at a predetermined rate whether to execute the effect. Further, the effect acting on the symbol is that each time the variable display corresponding to the corresponding display stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is started based on the occurrence of the start winning that becomes the target storage. The effect itself such as the slip effect may be executed only by the target variation display. In this way, by performing the effect that acts on the symbol, the player can be made to the corresponding display displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 before the display result based on the target hold memory is derived. Since expectation can be given and the effect of the corresponding display can be improved, the interest of the game is improved. Further, when the variable display is executed, the detailed control is determined on the side of the effect control microcomputer 100, thereby matching the pre-reading notice effect and the effect actually executed (the variable display for executing the effect). The case where time cannot be secured can be eliminated). In addition, although the effect which acts on a symbol showed the case where it is performed for every time variable display (holding memory) until the display result based on the holding memory of the target was derived, based on the expectation degree of the target There may be cases where it is not executed at a predetermined rate. In addition, even when an effect that acts on the symbol is executed during target variation display, a notice effect such as a slip effect may not be executed. In addition, in the variable display before the display result based on the target hold memory is derived, the effect on which the symbol acts may be executed every time and the notice effect may be executed every time. Alternatively, a plurality of types of predetermined characters may be set, and the character may be changed based on the target fluctuation display expectation level (expectation level for super reach or jackpot). Moreover, even if the character is the same, the degree of expectation may be suggested by changing the weapon held by the character. Also, when the fluctuation time of normal deviation that does not become reach is not affected by the number of holds (does not change) (when the hold number reduction control is not executed), all of the hold memory before the target hold is out of normal fluctuation as a pre-reading notice. An effect that acts on the symbol may be executed. In this way, since the fluctuation time of the normal deviation is constant, the effect acting on the symbol can be executed every time within a certain range, and the effect acting on the symbol is easily realized.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, the correspondence display displayed in the correspondence display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is determined using the table depending on whether the target variation display is a big hit or not. Accordingly, there may be a case where an effect that results in a big hit result at the time of a big hit is selected too much, or an effect that results in a big hit result at the time of a big hit is selected too much. Therefore, if an effect greatly deviating from the display result continues, the reliability of the effect cannot be maintained with respect to the preset expectation. In such a case, the effect control CPU 101 may forcibly control the effect so as to match the display result with respect to the effect greatly deviating from the display result. By executing the control to forcibly change, it is possible to appropriately maintain the expectation level for the performance. The forced change control described here is, for example, a display of “○” with low expectation level of big hit is displayed before target fluctuation display is executed even though the target display result is big hit. This is a control for forcibly changing the display contents to “☆” having a high jackpot expectation level even if the correspondence display corresponding to the target variation display is determined as “◯” when a plurality of areas are accumulated. Note that the control to change the display content to a high expectation level may be executed a plurality of times before the target hold depending on the number of hold storages.

  (17) In the above-described embodiment, the hold storage for the target change display is shown in the corresponding display area 960 in the same manner as the hold display until the target change display. It may be controlled not to execute the display stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. Further, when target variation display is executed, the corresponding displays stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 are combined to change to a special display corresponding to a different form from the predetermined form. Also good. Specifically, it is assumed that an effect in which a plurality of “☆” corresponding displays are stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 as a predetermined mode is performed before the target variation display is performed. In such a case, even when the target variation display is started, the corresponding display of “☆” is combined, and as a special aspect, an effect that the corresponding display is changed to one large “☆” is executed. Good. By changing the correspondence display to a special mode in this way, the player can have an expectation for the target variation display. Here, the special mode may be determined from a plurality of types of change patterns based on the degree of expectation of jackpot. Furthermore, the correspondence display stored in the correspondence display area 960 of the movable display device 96 may be changed when the target variation display is executed. More specifically, when target variation display is executed when “O”, “O”, and “O” are stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, the stored corresponding displays are displayed. For example, “☆”, “☆”, “Δ”, and the like may be changed from a plurality of types of change patterns based on the target big hit expectation. Thus, by changing the correspondence display when the target variation display is executed, the player can be focused on the target variation display.

  (18) In the above-described embodiment, the correspondence display stored in the correspondence display area 960 of the movable display device 96 before the display result based on the target hold storage is derived may be reduced once displayed. However, the display result may be reduced until a display result based on the target storage is derived according to the target's expectation. In such a case, the degree of expectation may vary depending on the number of corresponding displays until a display result based on the target storage is derived. Further, the pre-reading notice effect may be executed by reducing the display displayed in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 for each variable display. Specifically, when an indication is made that an apple is growing at the tip of the tree in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, and an effect that cuts the tree with the digestion of the suspension is performed, When a tree is missed, the hold is digested normally, and when it is determined that there is a specific hold to execute the corresponding display, the tree height is gradually lowered by cutting the tree, and the target is lowered. It is good also as a display mode which makes it reach | attained to an apple at the time of a fluctuation | variation display.

  (19) In the above-described embodiment, the correspondence display displayed in the correspondence display areas 60, 960 is a correspondence display with a high expectation degree in the order of “◯” <“Δ” <“☆” based on the big hit expectation degree. The case where it is displayed is shown. For example, the combination of “○”, “△”, “☆” is set to the highest expectation, and the combination of “○”, “○”, “○” is the lowest. You may make it become expectation. In this way, when the degree of expectation varies depending on the combination, when the target start winning occurs, it is determined in advance which combination is to be made based on whether the target storage is a big hit or not. This can be realized by executing the effects accumulated by the determined combination. Alternatively, only “☆” may be displayed without providing “Δ”, and the degree of expectation may be different depending on only the number of “☆”. In this way, when the degree of expectation varies depending on the number of “☆”, the number of “☆” to be displayed based on whether the target's reserved memory is a big hit or not when a target start winning occurs. Is determined in advance, and can be realized by executing the effects accumulated by the determined number of “☆”. As described above, the combination of the correspondence displays displayed in the correspondence display areas 60 and 960 can be changed as appropriate, and in the gaming machine having a plurality of modes, what kind of correspondence display is executed depending on the player's preference. Selection may be made using the push button 120 or the like.

  (20) In the above-described embodiment, in the prefetching notice process of FIG. 25, the reserved storage remaining in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is n reserved from the reserved storage of the target variation display as shown in S529. Although the case where the memory remains in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is shown, the remaining reserved memory may be determined at random when a target start winning is made. In such a case, the number of reserved memories stored in the corresponding display area is determined at random from the current reserved memory at the time when the target start winning is generated. Furthermore, what number of reserved memories should be displayed in the determined number of reserved memories may be selected randomly from a predetermined pattern.

  (21) In the above-described embodiment, the hold display displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c is only displayed as “◯”, but the hold display displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c You may make it provide multiple types of aspect. In addition, the hold display may be displayed in a form having a different color or shape depending on the degree of expectation. In addition, the target hold display is displayed in a mode different from the normal mode, but it may be displayed in the same manner as the normal mode, or step by step each time the hold shifts depending on the target expectation. You may change an aspect. In such a case, the display mode to be displayed on the total pending storage display unit 18c may be determined from the display modes determined in advance based on the jackpot expectation level when the start winning is generated. . In addition, according to the target jackpot expectation, the display mode is changed step by step every time the hold shifts, the display mode displayed in the final stage is determined in advance based on the jackpot expectation In addition, when a plurality of holding shifts before the display mode is made, the display mode may be gradually changed from a lower level to a higher expected level.

  (22) In the above-described embodiment, the hold display displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c and the corresponding display displayed on the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 (same for the corresponding display area 60) However, the display mode is completely different between the hold display displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c and the corresponding display displayed on the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96. It may be. Specifically, the hold display displayed on the combined hold storage display unit 18c is displayed in a shape such as “◯”, and the corresponding display displayed in the corresponding display area 960 (same as the corresponding display area 60) is “ It may be displayed in a completely different shape such as “person”.

  (23) In the above-described embodiment, when the pre-reading notice effect is once executed and the effect that the hold is stored as the corresponding display in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is executed, the target variation display ends. The corresponding display did not end until However, if the display result based on the target hold memory is out of date and the pre-reading notice effect is being executed, multiple start winnings will occur, and if the hold in that becomes a jackpot display result, the display result of the outage The pre-reading notice effect that becomes may be ended, and the effect of accumulating the hold, which is the jackpot display result, as a new target may be executed. Further, in such a case, the effect that is displayed as a display result of disappointing may be terminated halfway, or the hold display stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is a big hit that becomes a new target. You may make it take over to the hold of a display result.

  (24) In the above-described embodiment, it has been determined whether or not to execute the effect stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 when the target start winning is generated. Whether or not to execute at the start may be determined. In such a case, an effect of storing the corresponding display in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 is executed based on the start of the variable display of the target hold memory that becomes the specific variable display at the start of the variable display. . Further, even when it is determined not to execute the effect to be accumulated at the start of the variable display, if the reserved storage of the target for executing the effect to be accumulated after that is stored, the effect control CPU 101 does not execute the effect to be accumulated. You may change so that the production | generation which forcibly accumulate | stores the holding | maintenance memory | storage at the time of a display start may be performed.

  (25) In the above-described embodiment, it is determined whether or not to execute the effect stored in the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96 when the target start winning is generated, but the start winning has occurred. Whether or not the corresponding display is to be executed is not determined at the time, and it may be determined whether or not the effect to be accumulated is to be executed only when the variable display is started. Specifically, when an effect that is accumulated at the start of variable display is being executed, and a variable display with a high expectation level such as super reach is executed at the next variable display, an effect that is further accumulated at the start of variable display is displayed. You may make it perform. In this way, it is possible to execute the effect stored by the determination at the start of the variable display without executing the effect stored in the pre-reading notice process.

  (26) In the above-described embodiment, the case where the hold that is accumulated when the movable display device 96 is shifted to the corresponding display area 960 changes is shown, but a plurality of changing timings may be provided. For example, the display may change after a predetermined period since the hold display is shifted to the corresponding display area 960 of the movable display device 96, or may change at the timing when the variable display of the symbol is started and reach occurs. In this way, a plurality of change timings may be provided, and the change timing may be different depending on the target expectation.

  (27) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the pre-reading notice is executed for both the variation display of the first special symbol and the variation display of the second special symbol has been described. However, the variation display of the second special symbol is performed. When the pre-reading notice is executed with priority, the pre-reading notice is executed only for the first special symbol during the low base state, and the pre-reading notice is executed only for the second special symbol during the high base state. May be. In this way, for example, during the high base, the change display of the second special symbol is preferentially digested. Therefore, when the winning of the target hold occurs, the corresponding display area 960 is targeted only for the second special symbol. Production that accumulates in is performed. Specifically, during the high base (even during the big hit game), the pre-reading notice is not executed for the first special symbol, so the game control microcomputer 560 side is related to the execution of the pre-reading notice for the first special symbol. Instead of sending the command itself to the effect control microcomputer 100 side, only the command related to the execution of the pre-reading notice for the second special symbol may be sent. The game control microcomputer 560 side transmits a command related to the execution of the pre-reading notice for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, but the production control microcomputer 100 side receives the first special symbol. You may make it not execute the command relevant to execution of the prefetch notice about a symbol.
