Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the general map hold display section D6 is composed of a plurality of (two in the embodiment) light emitting display sections, and the general map hold display section D6 holds depending on the display contents of the general map hold display section D6. The number of changes in the usual map is informed. The number of reserved general-purpose maps stored on the general map hold display section D6 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball passes through the gate section 57, and is subtracted by 1 when the regular map display is started. Note that a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the embodiment) is set for the general-purpose start reserved memory number, and the general-purpose start reserved memory number can be added up to the upper limit number. Specifically, in the general map hold display part D6 of the embodiment, when the general figure start hold memory number is 1 to 2, the general figure hold display part D6 is lit in order from the top, and the general figure start hold memory number is 3 In the case of .about.4, the usual figure hold display part D6 blinks in order from the top, so that the number of hold on which the usual figure change display is performed can be grasped.

(About the symbol display device 17)
As shown in FIG. 2, the symbol display device 17 is provided with a plurality of symbol rows P, Q, and R that can display the effect symbols in a variable manner, and the first or second start winning portions 51, 52 are set. As a result of winning the prize, the design symbols of the symbol rows P, Q, and R start to change. In addition, the symbol display device 17 is set with a plurality of combination symbol positions Pa, Qa, Ra at which the effect symbols to be combined are displayed in a fixed stop state. As a result of the symbol combination effect, the combination symbol positions Pa, Qa are set. , Ra is configured to notify that the determination result of the special figure determination is a winning determination (affirmative determination) when the combination of effect symbols stopped and displayed on each of them becomes a predetermined hit display. Yes. In the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment, three symbol rows P, Q, and R are set in a horizontal and horizontal arrangement. That is, in the embodiment, it is configured to notify whether or not a special game is caused by a combination of three effect symbols corresponding to the three symbol columns P, Q, and R. In the following description, the left symbol row P, the middle symbol row Q, and the right symbol row R may be referred to in order from the left side.

  In addition, the display range of the effect symbol in each symbol row P, Q, R of the symbol display device 17 is composed of a larger area than the first special symbol display unit D1 and the second special symbol display unit D2, The effect design is displayed much larger than the special figure. Further, in the symbol display device 17, the display unit 17 a is positioned at a substantially central position of the game board 20, whereas the game information display unit D is positioned outside the game area 22. For this reason, the player can recognize whether or not it is a winning combination from the symbol combinations that are confirmed and stopped at the combination symbol positions Pa, Qa, and Ra of the symbol display device 17.

  On the symbol display device 17, the effect symbol is variably displayed so as to move along a predetermined variation direction (in the embodiment, from the top to the bottom in the vertical direction) at the start of the symbol combination effect. The effect symbols that are variably displayed in a predetermined stop order are stopped and displayed at the combined symbol positions Pa, Qa, Ra of the symbol rows P, Q, R. In the embodiment, at the start of the symbol combination effect, the effect symbols start to fluctuate in the order of the left symbol column P, the middle symbol column Q, and the right symbol column R, and the left symbol column P, the right symbol column R, and the middle symbol column Based on the variation timing of the production symbols that are stopped and displayed in the order of Q, the variation of the production symbols according to the production contents of the symbol combination production executed by the symbol display device 17, the number of stored special figure start hold information (described later), etc. The timing is appropriately changed.

  Further, in the symbol display device 17, before the symbol combination effect is finished, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the combination symbol positions Pa, Qa, Ra of the symbol columns P, Q, R, and the symbol sequences are displayed. The symbol combination effect of one time is completed when the effect symbols of P, Q, and R are confirmed and stopped. That is, the symbol combination effect (the first special symbol variation display and the second special diagram variation display) is determined from the start of variation of the effect symbol (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one special diagram start hold information. The process is executed once until the stop. Here, the “determined stop” of the effect symbol means that the effect symbol is stopped and displayed at the combination symbol positions Pa, Qa, Ra in the symbol sequences P, Q, R continuously for a predetermined special symbol fluctuation interval time. It is the state that was done. In the embodiment, 600 ms (milliseconds) is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol combination effect (first special diagram fluctuation display) based on the detection of the first start prize detection sensor SE1, and the second start prize detection sensor 600 ms is set as the special symbol variation interval time of the symbol combination effect (second special diagram variation display) based on the detection of SE2. In addition, the “temporary stop” of the effect symbol means that the effect symbol displayed so as to remain at the combination symbol position Pa, Qa, Ra in each of the symbol sequences P, Q, R continuously stops for the special symbol variation interval time. It is not in a state. That is, the temporary stop of the effect symbol includes a state in which the effect symbol is displayed in a fluctuation state at the combination symbol positions Pa, Qa, Ra, and a state in which the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special symbol change interval time. It is out. Further, the “change in effect design” means a state in which the effect design is not displayed in the recognizable symbol position Pa, Qa, Ra in each of the symbol sequences P, Q, and R, This includes a state in which the effect symbols displayed at the positions change in a predetermined order or the effect symbols are not displayed at the combination symbol positions.

  Here, in the first special symbol display unit D1 and the symbol display device 17, the first special symbol variation display and the symbol combination effect relating to the first special symbol variation display are started, and the special symbol 1 and the effect symbol are displayed in a fixed stop display. Is done. Similarly, in the second special symbol display unit D2 and the symbol display device 17, the second special symbol variation display and the symbol combination effect relating to the second special symbol variation display are started, and the special symbol 2 and the effect symbol are displayed in a fixed stop display. Is done. In the case where the special map change display is not performed simultaneously in the first and second special map display units D1 and D2, and the special map display is performed in one of the special map display units D1 and D2, It is stored on hold as first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 301c.

  In addition, the symbol display device 17 displays a symbol combination of effect symbols corresponding to the special symbol displayed as a result of the special symbol variation display performed in the first special symbol display unit D1 and the second special symbol display unit D2. Is done. That is, the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display unit D1 and the second special symbol display unit D2 correspond to the symbol combinations of the effect symbols displayed on the symbol display device 17, respectively. When the process is completed, the special figure is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display part D1 and the second special figure display part D2, and the effect symbols are confirmed and stopped on each of the symbol rows P, Q, R of the symbol display device 17. It is like that. In addition, the symbol combination of the effect symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one effect symbol is selected from the symbol combinations by the plural effect symbols for one special symbol. Yes.

(About the probability variation state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the special game ends. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the state where the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 1st or 2nd special prize-winning parts 53 and 54 increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. It is. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the first or second special winning portion 53, 54 may be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. it can. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  Probability change function, the next special game will occur after the end of the special game, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed stop display is a predetermined probability change symbol (special symbol) This is a function to give a probability change state in which the winning probability (probability per special figure) is changed from a low probability (170/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1700/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, a special figure to which a probability variation state is given after the end of the special game is a probability variation big hit, and a special figure to which a certain probability state is not given is a non-probability variation big hit. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the winning probability per special figure fluctuates with a high probability and a special game is likely to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player wins the probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting to become. In addition, in the embodiment, in the case of a special game to which a probability variation state is given, after the special game is finished, it continues until a predetermined number of times (the probability variation number) of the symbol combination effect (special variation display) is executed. Probability state is given. In the embodiment, after the special game is finished, the probability variation state is continuously given until 71 symbol combination effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the special game is started. Also, determine whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol combination effect (special pattern fluctuation display) based on random numbers acquired when the pachinko ball wins the starting winning means (falling lottery), It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege gaming state (second gaming state) as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the special game ends. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 3rd start winning opening 35 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 37 that opens the third start winning opening 35, the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the third starting winning opening 35 can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 37 for opening the third start winning opening 35 once per map, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 37. It can be realized by increasing the number of times of opening 37, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state in the example is set to combine (1) to (3) above. In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko balls to the third start winning opening 35 is improved.

  In other words, in the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed in the general map display unit 55 in the non-variable state is set to 3600 ms, and the fluctuation of the general map change display performed in the general map display unit 55 in the variable state. The time is set to any one of 520 ms, which is shorter than the non-changeable state, and the change time of the normal figure change display performed in the normal view display unit 55 is shortened with the provision of the changeable state. . In addition, the winning probability of determination per common figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (in the example, 1125/65536), and the winning probability of determination per common figure in the variable state is high (in the example, , 65535/65536), and with the provision of the variable state, the winning probability of the determination per common figure varies from a low probability to a high probability. In the embodiment, the period from the time when the normal map is confirmed and stopped until the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval) is set to 480 ms.

  Further, in the state where the variable state is applied, the opening / closing member 37 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening / closing member 37 of the third start winning opening 35 is opened in the case of winning in the normal map display (in the case of the normal map). An opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until (300 ms in the embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state where the variable state is given, when the normal figure change display is won (in the case of per normal figure), the opening / closing member 37 of the third start winning opening 35 is opened for a predetermined time (implemented). In the example, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed three times until 1140 ms) elapses. That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing member 37 of the third start winning opening 35 is longer than the state where the variable state is not given, and the player operates advantageously. It is set to be. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the third start winning hole 35 per time is set, and the number of winnings after the opening and closing member 37 is opened is set. The opening / closing member 37 is closed when the upper limit number of winnings (closing condition) is reached. Here, in the embodiment, according to the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) won per special figure, the period during which the variable state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of variable times) is determined. Yes. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the case of a special game to which a variable state is given, after the special game is finished, the game is continuously changed until a predetermined number of symbol combination effects (special figure fluctuation display) is executed. The short state is assigned, and the number of times of change is set to the same number as the number of times of change described above. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, after the special game is finished, the variable state is continuously given until 71 symbol combination effects (special figure fluctuation display) are executed. In addition, the period (number of times of speed change) for which the speed change state is given is not limited to this, and the number of times of probability change depends on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) won per special figure. It is possible to set the number of times more than the number of times or less than the number of probability changes.

(About special games)
Next, a special game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The special game is set to start after the big win symbol is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display part D1 or the second special figure display part D2 as a result of the special figure variation display. The round in which the opening / closing member 53b of the first special winning portion 53 or the opening / closing member 54b of the second special winning portion 54 is opened / closed is set differently depending on the type of the big win symbol).

One round game is ended when a specified number (for example, nine) of pachinko balls win in the special winning openings 53a and 54a or when a specified time (round game time) elapses from the start of each round game. . In addition, between each round game in a special game, the interval time between rounds in which the opening-and-closing member 53b, 54b is hold | maintained only for predetermined time is set.

  Here, in the opening mode (opening pattern) of the opening / closing member 53b of the first special winning portion 53 and the opening / closing member 54b of the second special winning portion 54 in each round of the special game, pachinko balls are continuously provided at predetermined intervals. In the fired condition, the long-time opening that continues the opening for the time that the specified number of pachinko balls (for example, 9) determined in the round can win a prize in one opening operation (operation from opening to closing) An operation (opening for a long time) and a short-time opening operation (opening for a short time) in which the opening time of the open / close members 53b and 54b is set shorter than the long-time opening operation are appropriately combined. In the embodiment, the opening / closing members 53b, 54b are set to open for a maximum of 25.00 seconds in the long-time opening operation, and the opening / closing members 53b, 54b are opened for a maximum of 0.04 seconds in the short-time opening operation. It is set as follows. That is, in the short-time opening operation of the opening / closing members 53b and 54b, it is extremely difficult to win the pachinko ball, and the operation time is set such that the winning to the special winning ports 53a and 54a can hardly be expected.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 301b stores a determination value per special figure indicating that a special game is generated as a result of the symbol combination effect. The determination value per special figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not to generate a special game using the random number for determination per special figure (determination per special figure). A predetermined number of determination values are defined from a total of 65536 integers from “0” to “65535”. Here, the determination value per special figure differs depending on whether or not the above-described probability variation state is given at the time of determination per special figure. Specifically, the number of judgment values per special figure (1700 in the embodiment) set in the probability variation state is the number of judgment values per special figure (170 in the embodiment) set in the non-probability variation state. More). That is, the special game is likely to occur by increasing the number of determination values per special figure in the probability variation state.

  The main control ROM 301b stores special figure determination values. The special figure determination value is the special figure 1 or 2 as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display section D1 when the special figure judgment result is a win (when the special game is won). This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as a jackpot symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the special figure display unit D2 by using a special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, the special figure determination value is set with an integer value of a type corresponding to the 100 types of special figure determination random numbers described above. Then, when the special game is won based on the special figure start hold information triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball to the first start winning part 51, the special figure determination determination value is set as the big hit symbol of the special figure 1 The main control is performed on any one of the symbols A to B assigned to the two types of symbols A to B and assigned with the determination value for special symbol determination corresponding to the random number for special symbol determination.

Any of symbols a to b assigned to the two types of symbols a to b set as jackpot symbols and assigned with a determination value for special symbol determination corresponding to a random number for special symbol determination This is determined by the main control CPU 301a.

  The main control ROM 301b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination (reach lottery) as to whether or not to execute a reach effect that suggests a possibility that a winning display is displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the determination per special symbol is negative. This value is determined from among 239 kinds of integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for effect execution determination. That is, the main control CPU 301a determines that the effect of the reach effect that will eventually be lost is executed when the value of the obtained effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value. It has become. Here, the number of determination values set for the effect execution determination value differs depending on the gaming state (probability change state or variable state) at the time of performing the effect execution determination. Specifically, the number of production execution determination values set in the non-variable state where the variable state is not assigned is more than the number of production execution determination values than when the variable state is assigned. It is set to increase. That is, in the variable state, the reach effect is less likely to occur than in the non-variable state.

(About special map fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 301b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure variation pattern is an effect content that is executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the final stop display (the display content of the symbol combination effect, the light emission effect mode). , Which specifies the basic content of the sound production mode). Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design combination effect and special figure) from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of fluctuation display) is specified.

  The main control ROM 301b stores variation pattern distribution determination values. The variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used to determine one special diagram variation pattern from among the special diagram variation patterns that can be determined according to the results of the determination per special diagram and the performance execution determination. It is determined from among 251 integers from the numerical values “0” to “250” that can be taken by the random numbers for distribution of the figure variation pattern. This variation pattern distribution determination value is assigned by a predetermined number to the special pattern variation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 301a according to the result of the special figure determination and the effect execution determination. That is, by specifying the variation pattern to which the determination value corresponding to the random number for special pattern variation pattern distribution is assigned, the special diagram variation pattern (effect content and variation time) executed in the symbol combination effect is determined. That is, when determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns based on the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution, the special figure fluctuation pattern is selected according to the number of assigned variation pattern distribution determination values. The ease is adjusted.

  In addition, the main control ROM 301b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” which can be taken as a random number for universal figure determination. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of universal figure determination values set in the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of universal map determination values set in the non-variable state (example). In this case, more than 1125) are set. In other words, by increasing the number of normal maps set in the variable state, it is easy to generate a common map hit.

  In the main control ROM 301b, a plurality of types of common map variation patterns are stored, and general map variation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the respective general map variation patterns. Here, the general map variation pattern specifies the fluctuation time of the general map variation display from the start of the general map variation display to the final stop display of the general map. The normal variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining the general variation pattern by using the random number for distribution of the general variation pattern. It is determined from all 9 types of integers up to “8”. A predetermined judgment value is assigned to each of the customary pattern fluctuation patterns, and the typical figure fluctuation pattern to which the common figure fluctuation pattern distribution judgment value corresponding to the acquired random number for normal pattern fluctuation pattern distribution is assigned is the main. It is specified by the control CPU 301a. Here, the determination value for determining the normal map variation pattern differs in the type and the number of allocation of the general map change pattern to be allocated, depending on the result of the determination per common map. Specifically, in the embodiment, when the result of the judgment per common figure is affirmative (winning per common figure), all the standard figure variation pattern determination values are assigned to one common figure fluctuation pattern, When the fluctuation pattern of a predetermined time (for example, 3600 ms) is determined, the fluctuation pattern is determined. On the other hand, when the result of the universal figure judgment is affirmative (decision per universal figure), another normal fluctuation pattern All the standard fluctuation pattern determination values are assigned to the standard fluctuation pattern that defines a predetermined time fluctuation time (for example, 520 ms).

The state is fixed and the special symbol is suspended. The special figure fluctuation display and the special symbol fluctuation display are configured to start the fluctuation at the same time and to display the fixed stop at the same time.

  Here, the main control CPU 301a outputs information indicating the change start of the first special figure display unit D1 to the effect control CPU 302a along with the start of the change of the special figure on the first special figure display unit D1. The information indicating the fluctuation stop of the first special figure display unit D1 is output to the effect control CPU 302a along with the fluctuation stop of the special figure on the one special figure display unit D1, and the information from the main control CPU 301a is configured. The production control CPU 302a controls the first special symbol display unit HD1 based on the above, so that the start timing and the end timing of the first special symbol variation display and the first special symbol variation display can be matched. Similarly, the main control CPU 301a outputs, to the effect control CPU 302a, information indicating the start of fluctuation of the second special figure display unit D2 with the start of fluctuation of the special figure on the second special figure display unit D2. 2 is configured to output to the effect control CPU 302a information indicating the stoppage of the fluctuation of the second special figure display unit D2 when the special figure display unit D2 stops the fluctuation of the special figure, and the information from the main control CPU 301a. The production control CPU 302a controls the second special symbol display unit HD2 based on the above, so that the start and end of the second special symbol variation display and the second special symbol variation display can be matched. The special symbol display LEDs 132 and 133 indicate that the light emission state has been confirmed by continuing the lighting state or the extinguishing state for the above-described special symbol fluctuation interval time (for example, 600 s). Is set.

  As described above, the first and second special symbol display portions HD1 and HD2 are adapted to the special symbol display LEDs 132, according to the fluctuation and stop states of the corresponding first and second special symbol display portions D1 and D2. 133 is configured to display a special symbol, and the effect symbol in the symbol display device 17 is temporarily stopped temporarily or is not temporarily displayed according to the effect content. Are continuously displayed until the end of the first or second special figure variation display. Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, an effect symbol is displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 and various effect displays are executed, and the first special symbol display unit HD1 and the second special symbol display are performed. Each of the parts HD2 is displayed by one LED 132, 133, and the first special symbol display part HD1 and the second special symbol display part HD2 are compared with the effect symbols displayed on the symbol display device 17. It is displayed in a much smaller and inconspicuous state. Therefore, even if the first special symbol display unit HD1 and the second special symbol display unit HD2 are variably displayed, the player's interest is directed to the effects performed by the symbol display device 17, and therefore the symbol display device 17 The interest of the symbol combination effect is not impaired, and if necessary, the state of the first special symbol display unit HD1 and the second special symbol display unit HD2 adjacent to the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 is confirmed. Thus, it can be easily confirmed whether the symbol combination effect is continuously performed or whether the symbol combination effect is finished.

  The special symbol display LED 132 for displaying the special symbol employs an LED element capable of emitting a plurality of colors, and the special symbol display portion HD1 has a plurality of colors (in the embodiment, two colors of red and green). It is designed to be displayed separately. In the embodiment, LED elements capable of emitting a plurality of colors are employed for the special symbol display LED 132 of the first special symbol display unit HD1, and a single color can be emitted to the special symbol display LED 132 of the second special symbol display unit HD2. LED elements are employed, and the effect control CPU 302a determines the emission color as the first special symbol display unit HD1 according to the type of the special diagram 1 displayed on the first special diagram display unit D1. ing. Specifically, when a special game is generated as a result of the determination per special figure, there are a plurality of types (100 in the embodiment) of special figures set as special figures 1 that can be displayed on the first special figure display unit D1. When the main control CPU 301a determines a special type (for example, 80 types corresponding to the above-described symbols A and B), the special symbol display LED 132 of the first special symbol display unit HD1 is final. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 302a determines to illuminate with a specific emission color (for example, red), while another type (for example, the above-described symbol C and symbol D described above) is displayed on the first special symbol display unit D1. When the main control CPU 301a determines the special symbols of 20 types corresponding to the above, the special symbol display LED 132 of the first special symbol display unit HD1 is finally turned on with a different emission color (for example, green). The control CPU 302a is determined. On the other hand, the special symbol display LED 133 of the second special symbol display unit HD2 corresponds to the type of the special symbol 2 displayed on the second special symbol display unit D2 determined by the main control CPU 301a (for example, the symbol a and the symbol b described above). Regardless of the 100 types, the effect control CPU 302a determines to light up with a predetermined light emission color (for example, red).

  Thus, in the special symbol display portions HD1 and HD2 of the embodiment, a plurality of types of games per special symbol (symbols per special symbol) are the same in each of the first special symbol display portion HD1 and the second special symbol display portion HD2. Since it is configured to display in the display form (red or green light emission), it is not possible to directly recognize which type of special game has been awarded simply by confirming the display of special symbols. Even if the special symbol display unit HD1 and the second special symbol display unit HD2 suggest a game per special symbol, the interest of the game is not impaired. Also, by checking the first special symbol display portion HD1, the types of special games (big hit symbols) can be narrowed down to a certain extent, so the display form of the first special symbol display portion HD1 (red or green light emission) The fun of guessing the type of game per special figure is created.
