(Electric motor) is controlled, and control information is output to the effect control board 23.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each means 40-46, 52-55, 60 of illustration is comprised mainly by the computer of the game control board 21. As shown in FIG.

  Random number update means 40 sequentially updates a big hit random number, which is a so-called hard random number of 16 bits for determining whether or not to play a special game, every minute time (0.1 μs) within a set range (0 to 65535). In addition, when a special game is played, a jackpot symbol random number, which is a so-called soft random number of 8-bit configuration for determining (determining) a jackpot symbol, is set every minute time (4 ms) within a set range (0 to 199). Update sequentially. Further, when a special game is not performed, a special variation time (13.5 s) in which a special effect can be performed by using the image display device 17 to indicate that a special game is likely to be performed on the image display device 17. ) The reach random number for determining whether or not to make the above specific variation pattern and the variation pattern random number for determining (determining) the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol are set ranges (0 to 99), respectively. ) Is updated sequentially every minute time.

  The symbol information acquisition means 41 is a jackpot random number updated by the random number update means 40 when the random number acquisition condition is satisfied when the number of first special symbol hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first starting port 10. The jackpot symbol random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number are acquired as a set of first special symbol information. In addition, when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, if the second special symbol holding number is less than 4, the random number acquisition condition is satisfied, and the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number updated by the random number updating means 40, The reach random number and the fluctuation pattern random number are acquired as a set of second special symbol information.

  The special symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition unit 41 is stored (suspended) in the special symbol information storage unit 42, and the number of the first special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage unit 42 is the first special symbol reservation. The number of the second special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 becomes the second special symbol hold number.

  When the first and second special symbols are in the variable stop state and either of the first and second special symbol holding numbers is 1 or more, the start condition for starting the variation of the special symbol is established. In addition, the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is erased (suspended) from the special symbol information storage means 42 for the determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 one by one. Here, when a plurality of special symbol information is held, the plurality of special symbol information is subjected to the reservation in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41, provided that the first and second When both of the special symbol information are on hold, the second special symbol information is given priority to the first special symbol information and is put on hold.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the big hit determining means 43a is a special game advantageous to the player (a big hit game) based on the big hit random number of the special symbol information that has been suspended due to the establishment of the starting condition for starting the fluctuation of the special symbol. ), The symbol determining means 43b determines the jackpot symbol to be stopped based on the jackpot symbol random number of the special symbol information when the jackpot determining means 43a determines that the jackpot game is to be performed. (Selected) to determine which of the special types of special games with different opening patterns of the special prize winning openings 13a, 14a, that is, the degree of advantage (the number of game balls that can be acquired) is different.

  Specifically, first, the jackpot determination means 43a determines whether or not to play a special game based on the jackpot determination random number of the special symbol determination information, as a jackpot determination table shown in FIG. Judge using When the low-accuracy / non-short-time state or low-accuracy / time-short state, which will be described later, is set, either of the big hit judgment values (3,247 ...) is used at a ratio of about 1/400 using the low accuracy table. If this is the case, it is determined that a special game will be performed, and when the high accuracy / short time state described later is set, the big hit determination value is about 1/68 using the high accuracy table. If it matches any of (7, ...), it is determined that a special game will be performed.

  If it is determined that a special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 43b then selects a plurality of types of jackpot symbols (the jackpot symbols A to E shown in FIG. 8) based on the jackpot symbol random number of the special symbol determination information. One of these is selected. When the special symbol information is the first special symbol information, the symbol is selected at the selection rate defined by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. 8, and the special symbol information is the second special symbol information. In the case of symbol information, symbols are selected at a selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG. Then, the open / close pattern of the big winning openings 13a, 14a in the special game is determined according to the type of the selected jackpot symbol.

  In the special symbol information determination unit 43, the reach determination unit 43c basically determines that the display state of the plurality of effect symbols is a predetermined reach state in the image display device 16 when it is determined that the big hit determination unit 43a performs a special game. However, if it is determined by the jackpot determining means 43a that the special game is not to be performed, the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol is reached by the image display device 16 based on the reach random number of the special symbol information. It is determined whether or not a specific variation pattern for performing an effect is used.

  In the special symbol information determining means 43, the fluctuation pattern determining means 43d is a symbol selected from the determination results by the jackpot determining means 43a and the symbol determining means 43b (any one of the jackpot symbols A to E or the lost symbol), and reach determination. The variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol is determined (determined) based on the determination result by the means 43c (whether the specific variation pattern is used), the variation pattern random number, or the like.

  The special symbol display control means 44 starts the variable display of the first special symbol when the first special symbol information is suspended, and the second special symbol information is triggered when the second special symbol information is suspended. After the symbol variation display is started, that is, the variation time specified by the variation pattern and the special symbol are variably displayed, the determination symbol indicating the determination result by the big hit determination means 43a and the symbol determination means 43b is fixedly stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined by the big hit determining means 43a that a special game (big hit game) is to be performed, any one of the big hit symbols A to E selected by the symbol determining means 43b is fixed and displayed, and the special game is displayed. If it is determined not to be performed, the lost symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state.

 When the special game executing means 45 determines that the big hit determining means 43a determines to play a special game, the special symbol display control means 44 determines the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the determination symbol selected by the symbol determining means 43b ( After any of the big winning symbols A to E) is displayed in a fixed stop state, the special winning game is performed by opening and closing the big winning openings 13a and 14a in an open pattern according to the determined symbol. As shown in FIGS. 9 (1), (2), and FIG. 10, the open / close patterns of the big winning openings 13a, 14a are set as shown in accordance with the type of the big hit symbol.

  In the special game, regardless of the type of the big winning symbol, that is, the opening / closing pattern of the first and second big prize openings 13a and 14a, one of the first and second big prize openings 13a and 14a is operated to be opened. There is a game ("R" means round) 16R (multiple R), specifically, the first R winning opening 13a is operated in the open state in each R of 1R-4R and 6R-15R A specific R for operating the second grand prize winning opening 14a in the open state is performed in each of R of 5R and 16R.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (1), in the case of jackpot symbol A, a special game A of 7R long-term opening + 9R short-term opening is performed, and a maximum of about 875 game balls can be acquired there, and jackpot symbol B, C In the case of, special games B and C that are 8R long-term opening + 8R short-term opening are performed, and up to about 1000 game balls can be acquired, and in the case of big hit symbols D and E, 16R long-term opening is achieved. Special games D and E are performed, and a maximum of about 2000 game balls can be acquired there.

  In each R, the first number of game balls set for each R is won in either the first or second grand prize opening 13a, 14a, or the first time until the specified time set for each R elapses. , One of the second grand prize winning openings 13a, 14a is operated in an open state. In other words, each R is either one of the first and second grand prize winning openings 13a and 14a when a prescribed number of game balls have won the prize or the prescribed time has passed. The operation is closed (closed) to finish.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (1) and FIG. 11 (1), in the special game A, each R of 1R to 4R and 6R to 8R opens the first grand prize opening 13a and then starts the first big prize. When 10 game balls are won in the mouth 13a or 30 seconds have elapsed, the first grand prize opening 13a is closed and the game ends, and each R of 9R to 15R starts by opening the first big prize opening 13a. Later, when 10 game balls win the first grand prize opening 13a or 0.1 seconds elapse, the first big prize opening 13a is closed and finished, and each R of 5R and 16R is the second big prize opening. After opening 14a and starting, 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, or when 0.1 second elapses, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (2) and FIG. 11 (2), in the special games B and C, the opening / closing pattern of the second big prize opening 14a of the 5R is different from that of the special game A. After opening the second grand prize opening 14a and starting 10 game balls in the second big prize opening 14a, or when 30 seconds have passed, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 (3), 10 (4), and 11 (3), in the special games D and E, each of R 1R to 4R and 6R to 15R starts by opening the first big winning opening 13a. Later, when 10 game balls are won in the first grand prize opening 13a, or 30 seconds have passed, the first big prize opening 13a is closed and finished, and each of R of 5R and 16R is the second big prize opening. After opening 14a and starting, 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, or when 30 seconds have passed, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 12 (1), 5R and 16R of jackpot game A and 16R of jackpot games B and C (short-term opening of second jackpot 14a) are substantially The special winning opening 14a is opened for 0.1 seconds and then closed. On the other hand, the 5R eyes of jackpot games B and C and the 5R eyes and 16R eyes of jackpot games D and E (long-term opening of the second big prize opening 14a) are shown in FIG. After 14a opened and closed once after being opened for 0.1 seconds, it was fully opened after 1 second from the start of opening, and a game ball was launched aiming at the second grand prize opening 14a. Then, 10 game balls are closed by finishing winning in the second grand prize opening 14a, and the process ends.

  Further, the special game executing means 45 opens and closes the specific area 14f by the distribution device 14h as the second big prize winning opening 14a is opened and closed in each of 5R and 16R. As shown in FIG. 12 (1), when the 5R and 16R second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time, the specific area 14f is opened one second after the second big prize opening 14a is opened, The specific area 14f is closed after 1 second from the start. As shown in FIG. 12 (2), when the 2nd big prize opening 14a of the 5R and 16R is opened for a long time, the specific area 14f is opened 1 second after the second big prize opening 14a is opened, The specific area 14f is closed together with the closing of the two major winning openings 14a.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (2), in the special game A, the second grand prize winning opening 14a of the 5R and 16R is short-term open, and the specific area 14f after the second big winning prize opening 14a is closed. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that the game ball will win the second big prize opening 14a and pass through the specific area 14f. On the other hand, in special games B and C, the 5R second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, and in special games D and E, the 5R and 16R second big prize winning openings 14a are opened for a long time. When the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, the specific area 14f is opened while the second big prize opening 14a is opened, so that the game ball wins the second big prize opening 14a and the specific area 14f. The possibility of passing through is extremely high.

  In all the special games shown in FIGS. 10 (1) to 10 (4), the R interval time from the end of each R to the start of the next R (the big winning openings 13a and 14a are closed) is about 2 seconds. Is set. This R interval time is set so that the game balls won at the winning prize openings 13a, 14a opened at each R will not win at the next R (the next winning prize opening 13a, 14a It is set as the time that can be surely detected by the special winning openings SW13c, 14c by the time of opening.

  The predetermination means 46 acquires the special symbol information by the symbol information acquisition means 41 before the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is determined by the special symbol information determination means 43. When this is done, for the special symbol information, determination equivalent to the determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 (big hit determination means 43a, symbol determination means 43b, reach determination means 43c, variation pattern determination means 43d) (ie, Determination of whether or not to play a special game, determination of jackpot symbols A to E, loss symbol, determination of whether or not to make a specific variation pattern, determination of variation pattern of special symbol) is performed in advance.

  On the other hand, the random number updating means 40 sequentially updates the hit random number, which is an 8-bit soft random number for determining whether or not to perform the auxiliary game, every minute time (4 ms) within the set range (0 to 199). In addition, when it is determined that an auxiliary game is to be performed, a per symbol random number that is a soft random number of 8-bit configuration for determining (determining) per symbol is a minute time (4 ms) within the set range (0 to 9) Update every time.

  The symbol information acquisition unit 41 satisfies the random number acquisition condition when the number of normal symbols held is less than 4 when the game ball passes through the gate 12, and the winning random number and the winning symbol random number updated by the random number updating unit 40 As a set of normal symbol information. The number of normal symbol information in which the normal symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 is stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 is the number of normal symbol holds.

  When the normal symbol is in the variable stop state and the number of normal symbols held is 1 or more, a start condition for starting the normal symbol variation is established, and is stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 every time the start condition is satisfied. The normal symbol information is erased (held erased) from the normal symbol information storage unit 52 for the determination by the normal symbol information determination unit 53 sequentially one by one. Here, when a plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are held, the plurality of pieces of normal symbol information are subjected to the above-described processing in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 and are digested.

 In the normal symbol information determination unit 53, whether the hit determination unit 53a performs an auxiliary game advantageous to the player based on the hit random number of the normal symbol information that has been suspended due to the establishment of the start condition for starting the variation of the normal symbol If it is determined whether or not to perform an auxiliary game, the symbol determination means 53b determines (selects) a winning symbol to be stopped based on the winning symbol random number of the normal symbol information, and during the auxiliary game The opening pattern of the second start port 11a, that is, which of a plurality of auxiliary games having different degrees of advantage is determined.

  The normal symbol display control means 54 starts the normal symbol fluctuation display when the normal symbol information has been suspended, and the low-accuracy / non-short-time state ("low operation mode") described later is set. If the low-accuracy / short-time state or high-accuracy / short-time state (“high operation mode”), which will be described later, is set for 12 seconds, the normal symbol information is displayed after variably displaying the normal symbol for 0.5 seconds. The determination symbol indicating the determination result by the determination unit 53 is stopped and displayed.

  If it is determined by the hit determination means 53a that the auxiliary game execution means 55 performs the auxiliary game, the normal symbol display control means 54 stops and displays the determination symbol indicating the determination result, and then opens and closes the second start port 11a. Play an auxiliary game. As shown in FIG. 13, the opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a during the auxiliary game is set according to the game state (operation mode).

  The game state control means 60 alternatively sets one of a plurality of game states (low-probability / non-time-short state, low-probability / time-short state, high-probability / time-short state shown in FIG. 14), and the game Control the game with the state. It should be noted that when the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, a low-probability / non-time-short state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the low probability / non-time reduction state and the low accuracy / time reduction state are set, the probability that the big hit determination means 43a determines that the special game is performed is set to a low probability, and the high accuracy / time reduction is performed. When the state is set, it is set with high probability. Further, when the low-accuracy / non-time-short state is set, the second start port operation mode for operating the second start port 11a is set to the low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is difficult to operate in the open state. When the accurate / short-time state and the high-accuracy / short-time state are set, the high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the game state control means 60 sets a low-probability / non-short-time state when a special game is being performed by the special game execution means 45, but there, the second big prize winning opening 14a is set. On the condition that the winning game ball has passed through the specific area 14f (that is, the V winning is present), the high accuracy / short time state is set after the special game is finished, and the game is controlled in the high accuracy / short time state. It is possible, and after setting the high-accuracy / time-short state, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol on the special symbol indicators 19a, 19b reaches 150, the high-accuracy / time-short state is changed to the low-accuracy / non-time-short state. The

  Further, when the special game is executed by the special game executing means 45, the game state control means 60 terminates the special game if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f (that is, no V prize is awarded). Later, a low-accuracy / short-time state can be set, and the game can be controlled in the low-accuracy / short-time state. Is changed to the low accuracy / non-short-time state.

  Thus, during the long-term opening specific round game related to the second grand prize opening 14a, the game ball easily passes through the specific area 14f. During the specific round game of short-term release, the game ball is unlikely to pass through the specific area 14f, so that it is less likely to be in the high accuracy / time reduction state and the low accuracy / time reduction state is likely to occur thereafter. If the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f during the long-term open specific round game related to the second grand prize winning opening 14a, the low-probability / time-short state is thereafter obtained.

  Next, a specific process in which the variation pattern determination unit 43d determines the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol information determination unit 43 will be described. In order to determine the variation pattern, there are a plurality of variation pattern determination tables, and the variation pattern determination means 43d determines the variation pattern for varying the special symbol using the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the current gaming state. . Based on the determined special symbol variation pattern, the special symbol variation time is determined, and the special symbol variation pattern designation command to be transmitted to the effect control board 23 is specified.

  When “low accuracy / non-time-short state” is set, the special symbol information determination means 43 uses the variation pattern determination table for low-accuracy / non-time-shortness shown in FIG. When it is determined that a special game is to be performed (becomes a “big hit”), based on the determined determination symbol (the jackpot determination symbol A or B) and the fluctuation pattern random number of the first special symbol information, One variation pattern is determined from the variation patterns for winning. In addition, when it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), based on the reach random number of the first special symbol information, the variation pattern random number, and the first special symbol hold number, One variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns. The reach random number and the variation pattern random number are set to 100 random numbers (0 to 99). Further, since it is configured to reach when it is a big hit, the reach random number is not referred to when it is a big hit.

  When “low accuracy / non-time-short state” is set, the special symbol information determination means 43 uses the variation pattern determination table for low-accuracy / non-time-shortness shown in FIG. When it is determined to play a special game (becomes “big hit”), based on the determined determination symbol (big hit determination symbol C or D or E) and the variation pattern random number of the second special symbol information, One variation pattern is determined from a plurality of variation patterns for winning. In addition, when it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), based on the reach random number of the second special symbol information, the fluctuation pattern random number, and the number of holdings, the variation patterns for the plurality of loses shown in FIG. One variation pattern is determined from the inside. The reach random number and the variation pattern random number are set to 100 random numbers (0 to 99). Further, since it is configured to reach when it is a big hit, the reach random number is not referred to when it is a big hit.

  When the “low accuracy / short time state” is set, the special symbol information determination means 43 performs a special game for the first special symbol using the low probability / short time variation pattern table shown in FIG. When it is determined to be performed ("big hit"), based on the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol A or B) and the variation pattern random number of the first special symbol information, a plurality of winning variations shown in the figure One variation pattern is determined from the patterns. In addition, when it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), based on the reach random number of the first special symbol information, the variation pattern random number, and the number of holdings, the plurality of variation patterns for the loss shown in the figure are displayed. One variation pattern is determined from the inside. The reach random number and the variation pattern random number are set to 100 random numbers (0 to 99). Further, since it is configured to reach when it is a big hit, the reach random number is not referred to when it is a big hit.

  For the second special symbol, when it is determined that the special symbol information determination means 43 performs a special game (becomes “big hit”), the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol C or D or E) and the relevant Based on the variation pattern random number of the second special symbol information, one variation pattern is determined from the plurality of variation patterns for winning shown. Also, if it is determined that the special game is not to be performed (becomes “losing”), a plurality of lost games shown in the figure is based on the reach random number, the variation pattern random number, and the second special symbol hold number of the second special symbol information. One variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns.

  When the “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the special symbol information judging means 43 uses the special pattern information determination means 43 for the first special symbol using the high accuracy / short time variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Are determined (based on “big hit”), based on the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol A or B) and the variation pattern random number of the first special symbol information, One variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns. In addition, when it is determined that the special game is not performed (becomes “losing”), based on the reach random number of the first special symbol information, the variation pattern random number, and the first special symbol hold number, One variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns. The reach random number and the variation pattern random number are set to 100 random numbers (0 to 99). Further, since it is configured to reach when it is a big hit, the reach random number is not referred to when it is a big hit.

  For the second special symbol, when it is determined that the special symbol information determination means 43 performs a special game (becomes “big hit”), the determined determination symbol (big hit symbol C or D or E) and the relevant Based on the variation pattern random number of the second special symbol information, one variation pattern is determined from the plurality of variation patterns for winning shown. Also, if it is determined that the special game is not to be performed (becomes “losing”), a plurality of lost games shown in the figure is based on the reach random number, the variation pattern random number, and the second special symbol hold number of the second special symbol information. One variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns.

  In the variation pattern determination tables shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, even when the same random number value or the like is obtained, different variation patterns may be determined. In other words, even if the special symbol type, the number of holds, the reach random number value, and the variation pattern random value are all the same, the variation time (variation pattern) may differ depending on the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the current gaming state. .

  For example, when “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, a game is aimed at winning a game ball to the second starting port 11a. If the second special symbol hold number is 1, 2, or 3 in the low-accuracy / short-time fluctuation pattern determination table, the fluctuation time is shortened to 3 seconds in order to promote digestion. The rate at which the fluctuation pattern 141 is determined is set high.

  On the other hand, if a loss occurs in the high accuracy / short time state, even in the high accuracy / short time variation pattern determination table, when the number of second special symbol hold is 1, 2, or 3, the variation time is reduced by 3 seconds. The rate at which the variation pattern 241 is determined is set high.

  As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the game effect is rendered by the rendering means 80 (the image display device 17, the movable accessory device 18, the speaker 27, and the like) by the computer of the performance control board 23, the image control board 24, and the lamp control board 25. The effect control means 70 to be performed by the lamps 28a, 28b) is configured, and the effect control means 70 includes a symbol variation effect control means 71, a special game effect control means 72, and the like.

  The symbol variation effect control means 71 executes any one of a plurality of effect patterns (symbol variation effects) in the image display device 17. Each of the plurality of effect patterns is classified into a normal lose effect pattern (normal lose symbol design effect), a reach lose effect effect (reach lose symbol change effect), and a big hit effect pattern (big hit symbol change effect).

  In order to determine the effect pattern, as shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, there are a plurality of effect pattern determination tables, and the symbol variation effect control means 71 is based on the determination result by the special symbol information determination means 43. When the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the special symbol indicators 19a and 19b by the symbol display control means 44, an effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol (the variation pattern determined using the variation pattern determination table). Is determined using an effect pattern determination table corresponding to the current effect mode (the low accuracy / non-time effect mode, the low accuracy / time reduction effect mode, the high accuracy / time reduction effect mode).

  The low-accuracy / non-short-time effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20, the low-precision / short-time effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 21, and the high-precision / short-time effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. A plurality of effect patterns previously associated with each of the plurality of special symbol variation patterns and a plurality of effect contents (modes) corresponding to each of the plurality of effect patterns are stored.

  For example, when the low probability / non-short-time state is set and the first special symbol becomes a big hit symbol A, when the variation pattern 1 (variation time: 17 s) is determined, An effect pattern 1 corresponding to the variation pattern 1 is determined using the low-accuracy / non-time-short hit effect pattern determination table. Further, when the first special symbol is a lost symbol, when the variation pattern 21 (variation time: 3 s) is determined, the low-accuracy / non-short-time loss effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20 (2) is used. The effect pattern 21 corresponding to the variation pattern 21 is determined.

  For example, if the variation pattern 112 (variation time: 41 s) is determined when the second special symbol is the big hit symbol C when the low-accuracy / short-time state is set, as shown in FIG. An effect pattern 112 corresponding to the variation pattern 112 is determined using the low-probability / short-time hit effect pattern determination table. Further, when the variation pattern 143 (variation time: 13.5 s) is determined when the second special symbol is a loss symbol, the loss effect pattern determination table for low accuracy / short time shown in FIG. 21 (2) is used. Thus, the effect pattern 143 corresponding to the variation pattern 143 is determined.

  For example, when the high-accuracy / short-time state is set and the variation pattern 214 (variation time: 101 s) is determined when the second special symbol becomes the big hit symbol E, it is shown in FIG. An effect pattern 214 corresponding to the variation pattern 214 is determined using a high-precision / time-short hit effect pattern determination table. If the variation pattern 247 (variation time: 15 s) is determined when the second special symbol is a loss symbol, the high-precision / short-time loss effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 22 (2) is used. The effect pattern 247 corresponding to the variation pattern 247 is determined.

  In this way, the effect pattern is uniquely determined based on the variation pattern of the special symbol. Also, the presence / absence of execution of the notice effect or the reach effect, the type of the notice effect (for example, pseudo continuous notice effect or reach production effect), and the type of reach effect (normal reach, SP reach effect, SP / SP reach effect). This is uniquely determined by the effect pattern to be executed.

Next, a specific example of the effect pattern (design variation effect) performed in the image display device 17 will be described.
For example, when the low accuracy / short time state is set, as shown in FIG. 23, (1) the combination display modes “1”, “2”, “3” in which the three effect symbols indicate the determination results of the loss are confirmed. When the effect pattern 21 (non-reach (losing)) is executed next after the stop display, (2) after the three effect symbol sequences 17a start to fluctuate, (3) the effect symbol “7 on the left side ”Is temporarily stopped, and then (9) the right effect symbol“ 3 ”is temporarily stopped and the two left and right effect symbols“ 7 ”and“ 3 ”are in a non-reach state. (10) After the center effect symbol “6” is temporarily stopped and displayed, (11) the three effect symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in combination display modes “7”, “6”, and “3” indicating the determination result of the loss. .

  On the other hand, when effect pattern 1 (normal reach (winning)) is executed, (2) after the three effect symbol sequences 17a start to fluctuate, (3) the effect symbol “7” on the left side is temporarily stopped and displayed. (4) The effect design “7” on the right side is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the effect designs on the left and right are aligned with “7” and “7” of the same design, and then (5) the effect in the center. The symbol “7” is temporarily stopped and the three effect symbols become combination display modes “7”, “7” and “7” indicating the jackpot determination result, and then (6) the three effect symbols in the temporarily stopped display state. Is confirmed and stopped.

  Here, the reach state means a state in which the right design symbol and the left design symbol are temporarily stopped at the same design when the left design symbol is temporarily stopped. Specifically, as described above, it means a state where the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at “7” and “7”.

  On the other hand, when the effect pattern 23 (normal reach (losing)) is executed, (4) after the right and left effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach state of “7” and “7”, (7) the center effect symbol is After “6” is temporarily stopped and displayed in combination display modes “7”, “6”, and “7” in which three effect symbols indicate the determination result of the loss, (8) the temporary stop is displayed. Three effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state.

  As described above, in the production pattern for normal reach and production pattern for normal reach loss, basically, when the left and right production symbols are in the reach state (for example, “7” “7”), the central production design is left and right. There is an effect that encourages the user to stop at the same symbol (eg, “7”) as the effect symbol.

  On the other hand, when effect pattern 2 (normal reach → SP (hit)) is executed, (4) the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach state of “7” and “7”, and then the SP reach effect is developed. . “SP” means a special, and the SP reach production is a production with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than normal reach.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in performing the SP reach effect, first, (21) the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” in the temporary stop display state are moved to the screen corner side and reduced and displayed (22) SP. Reach production is performed. In this SP reach production, for example, there is a pitcher indicating an enemy character related to a predetermined motif, and a batter indicating a teammate character, and when the batter flicks off, this effect is a failure (failed production). When the batter hits a home run, a series of moving pictures dedicated to SP reach production is displayed, which suggests that this production is a success (success production).

  After a successful production in the SP reach production, (23) the three production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination display modes “7”, “7” and “7” indicating the determination result of the jackpot, and (24) the temporary production Three effect symbols in the stop display state are confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the production pattern 24 (normal reach → SP (lost)) is executed, (4) the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach state of “7” and “7”, and then (21) the temporary stop display. After the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” are moved to the corners of the screen and reduced in size, (22) the SP reach effect is performed and the failure effect is obtained, and (25) the three effect symbols are lost. After the temporary stop display in the combination display modes “7”, “6”, and “7” indicating the determination results of (26), the three effect symbols in the temporary stop display state are confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the effect pattern 3 (normal reach → SP / SP (hit)) is executed, after (2) → (3) → (4) of FIG. 23 is performed, the SP / SP reach effect is developed. Alternatively, when the production pattern 4 (normal reach → SP → SP · SP (hit)) is executed, after (2) → (3) → (4) in FIG. 23 is performed, (21) → FIG. (22) SP reach production is performed, and this production becomes a failure production. (25) Three production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at “7” “6” “7”, and then developed into SP / SP reach production. When the effect to be performed is started, the center effect symbol “6” is changed again, and a plurality of effect symbols are again displayed in the reach state of “7”, “↓”, and “7”.

  In the SP / SP reach production, if an ally character related to a predetermined motif and an enemy character battle each other and the ally character is attacked by the enemy character and defeated, this production will fail (failure production). On the other hand, a series of moving images dedicated to SP / SP reach production, which suggests that this production is a success (successful production) when the ally character defeats the enemy character and wins, is displayed. The SP / SP reach production is a production with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than the SP reach production.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in performing the SP / SP reach effect, first, the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” in the temporary stop display state are moved to the screen corner side and reduced and displayed (32 ) After a successful production in the SP / SP reach production, (33) after three production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination display modes “7”, “7”, “7” indicating the determination result of the big hit, (34 ) The three effect symbols that are temporarily stopped and displayed are confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the production pattern 25 (normal reach → SP / SP (lost)) or the production pattern 26 (normal reach → SP → SP / SP (lost)) is executed, (2) → (3) → FIG. After (4) is performed, or after (2) → (3) → (4) → (21) → (22) → (25) of FIG. 24 is performed, FIG. As shown in (31), the left and right effect symbols “7” and “7” in the temporary stop display state move to the screen corner side and are reduced and displayed. (32) After the SP / SP reach effect is a failure effect, 35) After the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination display modes “7”, “6”, and “7” indicating the determination result of the loss, (36) the three effect symbols that are temporarily stopped are determined and stopped. Is done.

  By the way, when any of the effect patterns 5 to 12 and 27 to 34 is executed, it is uniquely determined that the notice effect is executed, and the pseudo continuous notice effect is executed as the notice effect. The pseudo continuous notice effect is a temporary combination of a plurality of effect symbols in a specific combination mode (for example, “2”, “4”, “6”) when the special symbols on the special symbol indicators 19a and 19b are displayed in a variable manner. It is a notice effect that makes it appear that a plurality of fluctuating displays are performed in a pseudo manner by stopping and displaying a plurality of effect symbols again (pseudo continuous fluctuation).

  When the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed, the larger the number of re-variation repeated executions (the number of pseudo-reams), the higher the ratio of jackpot (big hit reliability) and the ratio of reach (reach reliability). Further, after execution of pseudo-continuous variation, a reach effect (normal reach, SP or SP / SP reach) may always be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 23, (2) after the three sets of effect symbols 17a start to fluctuate, (12) the effect symbol “2” on the left side is temporarily stopped, and then (13) the effect symbol “ After “6” is temporarily stopped, (14) the center effect symbol “4” is temporarily stopped and the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in specific combination display modes “2”, “4”, and “6”. Then, (15) the three sets of effect symbol sequences 17a are changed again so that the first time is the first time and then the second time is the second time. Note that a series of effect patterns in which the three effect symbol sequences 17a re-variate after one pseudo continuous notice effect of (12) → (13) → (14) is described in the effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. Is equivalent to “pseudo two times”.

  Thereafter, (12) → (13) → (14) is performed, and when the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at “2”, “4”, and “6” (second pseudo continuous notice effect), then (15) The three sets of effect symbol sequences 17a are changed again so as to be the pseudo third time. Note that a series of effect patterns in which the three sets of effect symbol sequences 17a re-variate after the two pseudo-continuous notice effects are performed correspond to “pseudo three times” described in the effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. .

  Further, after that, (12) → (13) → (14) is performed, and when the three performance symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at “2”, “4”, and “6” (the third pseudo continuous notice effect), Next, (15) the three sets of effect symbol sequences 17a are changed again so as to be the fourth pseudo. Note that a series of effect patterns in which the three effect symbol sequences 17a re-variate after the three pseudo-continuous notice effects are performed correspond to “pseudo four times” described in the effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. .

  In the pseudo second, pseudo third, or pseudo fourth, (15) after the three effect symbol sequences 17a have changed again, the next three effect symbols “2”, “4”, and “6” do not temporarily stop Depending on the performance pattern being executed, there is a case where a reach production effect is performed.

  In the reach-reaching production, after the three sets of production symbols 17a start to fluctuate, the left production symbol temporarily stops, and the right production symbol constitutes the same design as the left production symbol, ie, reach. It is an effect that reach is achieved if this effect is successful, and reach is not established if this effect fails.

  For example, when the production pattern 8 (pseudo (twice) → reach roll → normal reach → SP (win)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice production (pseudo continuous variation twice) is performed, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, (41) after the special effect image by the effect F is displayed on the entire display screen when (41) the three sets of effect symbol sequence 17a start to change again on the image display device 17, (42) the display screen is the normal screen. Returning to (ordinary background), during the variable display of the plurality of effect symbol sequences 17a, (43) it is predicted that the dark screen image that darkens the entire screen will be displayed, so that it will be developed into a reach-skilling effect (sounding notice effect) ).

  Here, the normal screen (normal background) is a screen in which the background of the display screen is set to a single color and no special background image is displayed. Note that the background image is not limited to a single color, and an effect image corresponding to a predetermined motif may be displayed (for example, a “mountain” background image, a “sea” background image, or the like).

  (44) Next, the character TR related to the predetermined motif appears (appears) behind the symbol variation area of the three variations of the effect symbol sequence 17a, and The effect symbol “6” is temporarily stopped and displayed on the left effect symbol row 16a by the punch attack of the character TR.

  Next, (45) the character TR is displayed so that the right effect symbol row 17a during the variable display is temporarily stopped with the same symbol “6” as the left effect symbol (that is, reach state). Tries to destroy the right design symbol “5” by kicking attack, and the kick attack causes the production symbol “5” to vibrate up and down with a slight vibration. When the reach production is performed, the player desires that the reach is established and develops the production with a high expectation level of the big hit. When the reach is established, the player can enjoy the game with a sense of expectation thereafter.

  If the effect symbol “5” on the right side is destroyed by the kick attack of the character TR and (46) the effect symbol “6” is temporarily stopped, that is, if the reach is achieved as a success effect, the SP reach effect is reached. Develop.

  When the production pattern 9 (pseudo (3 times) → reach roll → normal reach → SP / SP (win)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice production (pseudo continuous variation 3 times) is performed, (41) → ( 42) → (43) → (44) → (45) is performed, and (46) when the reach is achieved as a successful effect, the SP / SP reach effect is developed.

  On the other hand, in the case where the production pattern 31 (pseudo (twice) → reach reach → non-reach (lack)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice effect (pseudo continuous variation twice) is performed, (41) → (42 ) → (43) → (44), (45) Even if the character TR performs a kick attack, the right effect symbol “5” is not destroyed, and (47) the effect symbol “5” is temporarily stopped. In other words, as shown in FIG. 26, when the failure effect is reached and reach is not established, (48) the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at “6” and “5” (non-reach state), When changing the scene, the character TR disappears from the screen to indicate the end of the reach production effect, and a screen to return to the normal screen is displayed. (A1) The display screen returns to the normal screen and the three effect symbols Of "6" "4" "5" After being temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination aspect showing a constant result, (A2) 3 single performance symbols of the temporary stop display state is determined statically displayed. Note that a series of effects in FIG. 26 (46) → FIG. 27 (48) → FIG. 28 (A1) corresponds to a scene change. The player is discouraged because he recognizes that the reach will be unsuccessful and the game will be lost after the scene change.

  In the conventional reach production effect, as described above, when it becomes a success effect that suggests the establishment of reach, it is then shifted to the development effect (SP reach effect or SP / SP reach effect), and a failure effect that suggests that reach is not achieved. In such a case, since it was a monotonous production system (production control) in which it was informed that it was a judgment result of the loss after the scene change, the production was not dramatic and effective. Therefore, in the present invention, the following production system (production control) is realized.

  When the production pattern 11 (pseudo (three times) → reach roll → normal reach (win)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice production (pseudo continuous variation three times) is performed, (41) → (42 in FIG. ) → (43) → (44) → (45), then (46) Failure production suggesting failure to reach, as shown in FIG. 27, (48) After scene change (B1) When the display screen returns to the normal screen, a pair of left and right accessory members 18a and 18b suddenly appear (advance) and merge, and it is definitely announced that it is a big hit. (Big hit confirmed production). (B2) After that, the three effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state in the combination modes “6”, “6”, and “6” indicating the determination result of the big hit. As a result, dramatic and effective production can be performed that changes the disappointment of the player at the time of the scene change and turns it into joy.

  Alternatively, when the production pattern 12 (pseudo (four times) → reach roll → normal reach (win)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice production (pseudo continuous variation four times) is performed, (41) in FIG. (42) → (43) → (44) → (45) was performed, and (46) it was a failure production suggesting that the reach was not established. As shown in FIG. 27, (48) a scene change was performed. Later, when the display screen returns to the normal screen (C1), the display mode of the left and right effect symbols temporarily displayed in the non-reach state “6” “5” when the scene is changed is “6” “6”. The temporary stop display is performed in the state changed to the reach state, and then (C2) the center effect symbol is temporarily stopped with the “S” symbol, and the three effect symbols are identified as “6”, “S”, and “6”. (C3) One pair of left and right accessory members 18a 18b, it is definitely the notification is a big hit by coalesce appeared on the front screen (big hit confirm director). (C4) After that, the three effect symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the combination modes “6”, “6”, and “6” indicating the determination result of the big hit. This gives a sense of incongruity to the display of the three effects after changing the scene from the non-reach state to the reach state, creating a sense of expectation for the subsequent game, and then changing that expectation to joy. A dramatic and effective production can be performed.

  Note that the display screen of the scene change shown in FIG. 27 (48) may be different depending on whether the player loses after the failure effect or wins after the failure effect (when the player wins after the failure effect) For example, a special pattern image different from the image shown in FIG. 27 (48), a special background image, a dark image, and the like are displayed.

  In addition, the specific combination pattern of the three effect symbols shown in FIG. 27C2 is, for example, an odd symbol, an even symbol, a number, a symbol, a character and a character related to a predetermined motif in addition to the “S” symbol. Or a combination of

  The reach production effect described in FIGS. 26 and 27 is executed when the low accuracy / short time state is set or when the high accuracy / short time state is set, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22. The presence or absence of execution is uniquely determined by the production pattern. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, when the low accuracy / short time state is set or when the high accuracy / short time state is set, an effect pattern for performing the pseudo-continuous notice effect is not set. That is, the pseudo continuous notice effect is not performed. Therefore, when the production pattern including reach production is performed when the low accuracy / short time state or the high accuracy / short time state is set, after the three sets of production symbol sequences 17a start to fluctuate, Reaching is performed without performing the notice effect.

  When the production pattern 247 (reach roll → non-reach (losing)) is executed, after the three sets of production symbol sequence 17a in (2) of FIG. 23 start to fluctuate, the reach production production of FIG. It becomes a failure effect that suggests failure, and it is notified that the result of the loss determination after the scene change (FIG. 27 (48) → (A1) → (A2)). In the high-probability / short-time state, the probability of determining that a special game is to be performed is set to a high probability, so that the player's sense of big hit expectation can be further enhanced by performing a reach-making effect.

  In addition, even when the low-probability / non-time-short state is set, depending on the effect pattern to be executed, reach reach effect is performed after the three effect symbol sequences 17a start to change. When the production pattern 13 is executed, it is carried out after the three sets of the production symbol sequence 17a start to fluctuate (FIG. 23 (2) → FIG. 26), and when it becomes a successful production (FIG. 26 (46)), (49) → (50) → (51) in FIG. 27 is performed. Alternatively, when the production pattern 14 or 15 or 16 is executed, it is developed into either SP reach or SP / SP reach after the success production.

  In other words, when the low probability / non-time-short state is set, after the three sets of effect symbol sequences 17a start to fluctuate, the pseudo-sequential notice effect is performed after the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed, and the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed. There is a case where a reach production is performed. On the other hand, when the low-accuracy / short-time state or the high-accuracy / short-time state is set, as described above, after the three sets of effect symbol sequence 17a start to fluctuate, reach without performing the pseudo-continuous notice effect Production is performed.

  The jackpot finalizing effect by the pair of left and right accessory members 18a and 18b described in FIGS. 27B1 and 27C3 is displayed before the finalized stop display is performed in the combination display mode in which the three effect symbols indicate the determination result of the jackpot. This is an effect of definitely informing the player that the special symbol is determined to be a big hit (before the special symbol is determined and displayed as a big hit symbol). Whether or not the jackpot finalizing effect is executed is uniquely determined by the effect pattern to be executed. For example, when this production is a success production and a reach is established in the reach production, and the success is produced when the SP / SP reach production is developed and the production is successful, the big hit confirmation production is performed.

  Here, the winning effect is, for example, an effect in which whether or not this effect is successful during the SP / SP reach effect. For example, a battle effect is performed during the SP / SP reach effect, and an operation of the effect button SW6a is instructed when an ally character attacks an enemy character and the enemy character falls due to the attack. Button production is performed at the time of falling.

  In the case of a big hit, when the winning button effect is displayed, if the effect button SW6a is operated, the pair of right and left accessory members 18a and 18b are activated to become a successful effect and a big hit. Is definitely notified. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, even if the effect button SW6a is operated when the button effect is displayed, the pair of left and right accessory members 18a and 18b do not operate, and the effect is a failure, resulting in a loss. Is notified.

  Note that the production patterns 11, 12, 117, 118, 217, and 218 shown in FIG. 20 (1), FIG. 21 (1), and FIG. This is an effect pattern in which the jackpot finalizing effect is suddenly executed after making the user aware of the loss.

  In addition, instead of the pair of right and left accessory members 18a and 18b, for example, a notification sound such as “Cui-N-Cui-N” is output from the speaker 27, so that it is definitely notified that it is a big hit. May be. In addition, the lamps 28a and 28b may be steadily informed that they are a big hit by performing a lighting and blinking operation in a special pattern. Alternatively, a special image such as a rainbow-colored light emission image that spreads radially may be displayed on the display screen, so that the big hit may be definitely notified.

  In addition, the operation of the pair of right and left accessory members 18a and 18b may be performed so that the notification sound from the speaker 27 can be output. The operation of the pair of right and left accessory members 18a and 18b can be performed. The lighting / blinking operation 28b may be executed, or a special image may be displayed together with the operation of the pair of right and left accessory members 18a and 18b. In this case, the pair of right and left accessory members 18a and 18b is not moved to the advanced position a plurality of times, and the notification sound is output from the speaker 27, the lamps 28a and 28b are turned on and blinking, and the special image is displayed. Do multiple times.

  When the special game is executed by the special game executing means 45, the special game effect control means 72 performs a special game effect (a big hit effect pattern), and at the end of the special game effect (special game), The ending effect selected from the ending effects is performed. The special game effect (a big hit effect pattern) is based on the type of the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped by using the big hit effect pattern determination table (not shown) at the start of the special game by the special symbol display control means 44. It is determined uniquely.

  In the big hit / medium effect pattern determination table, a plurality of big hit / medium effect patterns corresponding to each of the plurality of big hit symbols are preset.

  The special game effect control means 72 advantageously notifies that the game is controlled in a highly accurate / short time state when a game ball won in the second big prize opening 14a passes through the specific area 14f during execution of the special game effect. The notification effect is performed at a predetermined timing.

  Next, in order to achieve the functions of the respective means 40 to 46, 52 to 55, 60, and 70 to 72 shown in FIG. 6, the control device 20 (game control board 21, effect control board 22, image control board 24) is provided. The main processing to be executed will be described based on a flowchart.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the game control board 21 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, random number update process (S1), switch process (S2) The symbol process (S3), the big prize opening process (S4), the prize ball process (S5), and the output process (S6) are sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the start port SW process performed in the switch process of S2, when the first start port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), when the first special symbol reservation number U1 is less than 4 (S12 Yes), the first special symbol hold number U1 is incremented and updated to U + 1 (S13), and the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, the reach random number, and the fluctuation pattern random number (first special symbol information) are acquired and stored ( Next, a pre-determination process (S15) is executed, and a first special symbol reservation number increase command is set (S16).

  When the second start port SW11c is on (S17; Yes), when the second special symbol hold number U2 is less than 4 (S18; Yes), the second special symbol hold number U2 is incremented and updated to U2 + 1 ( S19), jackpot random number, jackpot symbol random number, reach random number, and variation pattern random number (second special symbol information) are acquired and stored (S20), and then a pre-determination process (S21) is executed, and the second special symbol is executed. A pending number increase command is set (S22).

  In the predetermination process of S15 and S21, the process equivalent to the special symbol process S38 and S39 described below is basically performed. In S16 and S22, information on the determination result of the predetermination process of S15 and S21 is included. A special symbol holding number increase command is set. The commands set in S16 and S22 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 23 by the output process of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the special symbol process performed in the symbol process of S3, it is determined whether or not the special game flag is ON (S31). If the determination of S31 is No, that is, if the big hit game is not being executed, It is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (S32). If the determination in S32 is Yes, the process proceeds to S42.

  If the determination in S32 is No, it is determined whether or not the second special symbol hold count U2 is 1 or more (S33). If the determination in S33 is Yes, the second special symbol hold count U2 is decremented to U2-1. It is updated (S34). If the determination in S33 is No, it is determined whether or not the first special symbol hold number U1 is 1 or more (S35). If the determination in S35 is Yes, the first special symbol hold number U1 is decremented to U1-1. It is updated (S36). If the determination in S35 is No, a customer waiting setting process (S46) is executed. After the execution of S34 or S36, the customer waiting flag is turned off (S37), the big hit determination process (S38) is executed, and then the variation pattern selection process (S39) is executed.

  In the big hit determination process of S38, first, the big hit determination value of the special figure determination information having the highest digestion priority among the special figure determination information stored in the special figure holding storage means 32 is described with reference to FIG. In addition, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit specific value, and if it is a big hit specific value, based on the symbol determination value of the special figure determination information, as described with reference to FIG. When it is selected and set and the big hit determination value is not the big hit specific value, a lost symbol is set. The special figure determination information provided for the big hit determination process is deleted from the special figure holding storage means 32.

  In the variation mode selection process of S39, the symbol set in the jackpot determination process of S38, the jackpot determination value used for determination of whether or not the jackpot is determined, and the reach determination value of the pair, the special symbol variation pattern determination value, the first Based on the second special symbol hold count and the current gaming state, the variation pattern determination table corresponding to the current gaming state described in FIGS. Is selected. Thereafter, the first or second special symbol is started to change (S40), and a special figure change start command including information on the determination symbol set in S38 and the change mode (change time) determined in S39 is set ( S41).

  Next, when the variation time determined in S39 has elapsed (S42; Yes), the first or second special symbol is suspended (S43), where the symbol set in S38 is the first or second symbol. It is displayed on the special symbol display 19a or 19b. Subsequently, a special symbol variation stop command including information on the determination symbol set in S38 is set (S44), and the stopped process (S45) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 31, in the stop process of S45, when the low accuracy / short time state flag is ON, that is, when the low accuracy / short time state is set (S51; Yes), the low accuracy / short time state continuation number J is set. When J is subtracted from J-1 (S52) and the continuation count J becomes 0 (S53; Yes), the low-accuracy / short-time state flag is turned OFF (S54). Further, when the high accuracy / short time state flag is ON, that is, when the high accuracy / short time state is set (S55; Yes), the high accuracy / short time state continuation number X is subtracted from X-1 (S56), and the continuation thereof. When the number of times X becomes 0 (S57; Yes), the high-accuracy / short-time state flag is turned OFF (S58).

  Next, in the case of a big win (S59; Yes), that is, when the big win symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol indicator 19a or 19b, the special game flag is turned on (S60), and the low probability / short time state / The high-precision / time-short state continuation count J / X is reset to 0 (S61), and the low-precision / time-short state flag / high-precision / time-short state flag is turned OFF (S62). Thereafter, opening is started (S63), and an opening command including information on the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed is set (S64). When both the low accuracy / short time state flag and the high accuracy / short time state flag are OFF, the low accuracy / non-short time state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 32, in the special prize opening process of S4, it is determined whether or not the special game flag is ON (S71). If the determination of S71 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the special game is being opened. (S72). If the determination in S72 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S73), and if the determination in S73 is Yes, a big prize opening / closing pattern setting process (S74) is executed.

  In the big winning opening opening / closing pattern setting process of S74, the big winning opening opening / closing pattern corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol is set, and the maximum winning opening opening / closing pattern set to the maximum Rc, the prescribed number Nc, and the prescribed time Tc is set. The corresponding value is set.

  On the other hand, if the determination in S72 is No, it is determined whether or not the special game is ending (S75). If the determination in S75 is No, it is determined whether any of the big winning mouths 13a and 14a is operating. (S76). If the determination in S75 is Yes, the process proceeds to S91. If the determination in S76 is No, the process proceeds to S77. If the determination in S76 is Yes, the process proceeds to S82.

  In S77, R is added to R + 1, and then an R start command is set (S78), and the operation of one of the special winning openings 13a, 14a is started (S79). In S79, when R = 1 to 4 and 6 to 15, the first big prize opening 13a is opened, and when R = 5 and 16, the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Next, timing of the operating time T is started (S80), and the measurement of the number N of game balls won in the special winning openings 13a, 14a is started (S81).

  When R = 5 and 16, as described with reference to FIG. 12, the sorting device 14h is operated to open and close the specific area 14f. Here, when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time. The possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f is very low, and when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, the possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f becomes very high.

  As shown in FIG. 33, in the V winning process of S82, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S101; No), when R = 5 or 16 (S102; Yes), when the specific area SW14g is turned on ( S103; Yes), 1 is set to the V winning flag VF (S104), and the V winning command is set (S105).

  As shown in FIG. 32, after execution of the V winning process in S82, in S83, it is determined whether T ≧ specified time Tc. If the determination in S83 is No, it is determined whether N ≧ specified number Nc ( S84). If the determination in S83 is Yes or the determination in S84 is Yes, the operation of any of the winning prize openings 13a, 14a is terminated, that is, any of the winning prize openings 13a, 14a is closed (S85). It is reset to 0 (S86), and it is determined whether or not R = maximum Rc (S87).

  If the determination in S87 is Yes, ending is started (S88), an ending command is set (S89), and R is reset to 0 (S90). In S91, it is determined whether or not the ending time has elapsed. If the determination in S91 is Yes, a game state setting process (S92) is executed, and then the special game flag is turned OFF (S93).

  As shown in FIG. 34, in the game state setting process of S92, when the V winning flag VF = 1 (S111; Yes), the high accuracy / short time state flag is turned ON (S112), and the high accuracy / short time 150 is set in the state continuation number X (S113), and the V winning flag VF is reset to 0 (S114). On the other hand, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S111; No), the low-accuracy / short time state flag is turned ON (S115), and 100 is set to the low-precision / short time continuation number J (S116). After execution of S114 or S116, a gaming state command corresponding to the flag set in S112 or S115 is set (S117).

  As shown in FIG. 35, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the effect control board 23 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, a command is received from the game control board 21 and Command reception processing (S201) capable of executing processing based on commands, rendering operation SW processing (S202) capable of performing processing related to operations of the rendering operation device 6, commands can be transmitted to the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 Command transmission processing (S203) is sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the command reception process of S201, when a hold increase command is received (S211; Yes), a prefetch information hold process (S212) is executed, followed by a hold number addition process (S213). Then, the pending number increase command is set (S214).

  In the prefetch information hold process of S212, the received hold number increase command is analyzed, and based on the analysis information, it is determined whether or not to perform a zone effect different from the normal as a prefetch effect, and what is a normal display mode? It is determined whether or not to display a reserved symbol of a different special display mode, and when it is determined to perform a prefetch effect, the start timing of the prefetch effect is set.

  Next, when a special symbol variation start command is received (S215; Yes), prefetch information digest processing (S216) is executed, and subsequently symbol variation effect selection processing is executed (S217).

  As shown in FIG. 37, in the symbol variation effect selection process in S217, the received special symbol variation start command is analyzed (S231), and then the set effect mode (the low-predicted / non-short-time effect shown in FIG. 38). Mode, low accuracy / short time effect mode, high accuracy / short time effect mode) (S232), and using the effect pattern determination table described in FIGS. The corresponding symbol variation effect (effect pattern) is uniquely determined (S233), and a symbol variation effect start command including information on the determined symbol variation effect (effect pattern) is set (S234).

  Next, the notice effect execution determination selection process is executed (S235), and when the pseudo continuous notice effect or reach production effect is executed based on the symbol variation effect (effect pattern) determined in S233, or the pseudo continuous described above. Whether or not to execute a notice effect other than the notice effect or the reach effect (for example, a serif notice effect or a mini character notice effect) is determined by lottery, and if another notice effect is executed (S236; Yes), execute A notice effect command including information on the notice effect to be performed is set (S237).

  In order to determine whether or not to perform a notice effect other than the pseudo-continuous replay effect and reach production effect, there are a plurality of notice effect lottery tables corresponding to the effect patterns. Each of the plurality of notice effect lottery tables is set with a numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value for determining the notice effect, and a special symbol is used by using the notice effect lottery table corresponding to the effect pattern to be executed. Whether or not to execute the notice effect is determined by lottery from the random number for determining the notice effect obtained when the change start command is received.

  After the execution of S237, a jackpot finalizing effect execution determination process is executed (S238). In the process of S238, it is determined whether or not to execute the jackpot finalizing effect based on the contents of the effect of the reach effect to be executed (S239). If the determination is Yes, the jackpot finalizing effect command is set (S240). .

  As shown in FIG. 39, in the symbol variation effect end process of S219, the received special symbol variation stop command is analyzed (S244), and if it is not a big hit (S245; No), the set effect mode is referred to. (S246). Next, in the low accuracy / short time effect mode (S247; Yes), 1 is subtracted from the low accuracy / short time effect mode continuation number MJ (S248), and it is determined whether MJ = 0 (S249).

  On the other hand, when the production mode is not the low-precision / short-time production mode (S247; No), it is determined whether the high-precision / time-short production mode is determined (S250). MX is subtracted by 1 (S251), and it is determined whether MX = 0 (S252). If the determination in S249 or S252 is Yes, the low-accuracy / non-short-time effect mode is set (S253). After execution of S253, or when the determination at S245 is Yes, or the determination at S249, S250, or S252 is No, a symbol variation effect end command is set (S254).

  As shown in FIG. 36, after the execution of S219, or when the determination of S211 and S215 and S218 is No, when an opening command is received (S220; Yes), a special game effect selection process (S221) is executed. When an ending command is received (S222; Yes), an ending effect selection process (S223) is executed.

  In the special effect selection process in S221, the received opening command is analyzed, and based on the analysis information, the special game effect (effect pattern during the big hit) corresponding to the jackpot symbol (A to E) displayed to be confirmed and stopped is unambiguous. And a special game effect start command including information on the determined special game effect is set. In the ending effect selection process of S223, the received ending command is analyzed in order to notify the effect mode according to the game state after the jackpot game and the game state after the jackpot game, and based on the analysis information, a fixed stop display is performed. The ending effect corresponding to the determined jackpot symbol (A to E) is uniquely determined, and an ending effect start command including information on the determined ending effect is set.

  Next, when a gaming state command is received at the end of the ending in the big prize opening process (see FIG. 32) (S224), after the effect mode setting process (S225) is executed, the customer waiting command reception process (S226) is executed. Is done. In the effect mode setting process of S225, the received gaming state command is analyzed, and the remaining number of times and the number of time savings of the currently set gaming state continuation number (low accuracy / short time continuation number, high accuracy / short time continuation number) are displayed. Therefore, when the low-accuracy / short-time effect mode is set, the low-accuracy / short-time effect mode is set, 100 is set in the low-precision / short-time effect mode continuation count MJ, and the high-accuracy / short time state is set. The high-accuracy / short-time effect mode is set, and 150 is set in the high-precision / short-time effect mode continuation number MX.

  In the computer of the game state control board 21, the same number of times as the remaining number of times of the set effect mode is set as the number of game state continuations. In addition, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is cut off due to a power failure or the like, the remaining number of continuations of the production mode at the time of the power interruption described in the RAM at the time of power restoration is cleared, but the remaining continuation of the production mode Since the number of times and the remaining number of game states are synchronized, when the information on the remaining number of game states is transmitted from the main control board 21, the remaining number of times of the effect mode at the time of power interruption is set based on the information. The

  The computer of the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 controls the image display device 17, the speaker 27, the frame lamp 28 a, the panel lamp 28 b, and the movable accessory device 18 based on commands received from the effect control board 23. Various game effects are performed mainly by effect display on the image display device 17.

  That is, when a special symbol is variably displayed based on the symbol variation production start command, a normal losing production pattern (normal symbol variation production), a reach losing production pattern (reach losing symbol variation production) as the production pattern (design variation production) In addition, based on the jackpot effect pattern (hit symbol variation effect) and the notice effect command, the notice effect is performed in accordance with the change time of the special symbol, and the special game is performed based on the special game effect start command. When the player is playing, the effect pattern (special game effect) during the big hit is performed in accordance with the progress of the special game.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When the “low-probability / non-short-time state” is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the left side of the center accessory 16. When a game aiming to win a game ball at the first starting port 10 is performed and the “low-probability / short-time state” or “high-probability / short-time state” is set, or when a big hit game is being performed, By operating the handle 7 so that the game ball falls on the right side of the center accessory 16, the game ball is fired to the second start port 11 a by so-called right hitting, or the first and second grand prizes. A game that aims to win a game ball in the mouths 13a and 14a is performed.

  When a game ball wins at the first or second start opening 10 or 11a, a big hit lottery is performed, and when the big hit lottery is won, a big hit game is generated in which the first and second big win ports 13a and 14a are opened and closed. To do.

  A special area 14f is provided in the second big prize opening 14a, and a special game in which a game ball easily passes through the specific area 14f and a special game in which the game ball does not easily pass through the specific area 14f depending on the type of the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed. If a game ball passes the specific area 14f when a special game is being performed, the game is controlled in a highly accurate / short time state after the special game ends, and the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f. Then, after the special game is over, the game is controlled in a low probability / short time state.

  By the way, when a game ball wins at the first or second starting port 10 or 11a by left-handed or right-handed, the determination result after the special symbol is variably displayed based on the determination result by the special symbol information determining means 43. The determination symbol indicating is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the special symbol is variably displayed, a symbol variation effect (directing pattern) that suggests the degree of expectation of the big hit, and when a big hit game is being performed, a special game effect that boosts the big hit game (direct effect during the big hit) Each pattern) is mainly displayed on the image display device 17, and the game performance and the game interest are enhanced by such game effects.

  In the symbol variation effect, after a plurality of effect symbol sequences 17a start to change, a reach-in effect may be performed in which a plurality of effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach state.

  In the conventional reach production, when the production is successful and the success production suggests that the reach has been achieved, multiple production patterns will be in a reach state, and then a reach production that suggests that a big hit game is likely to be performed. On the other hand, if it becomes a failure effect that suggests that reach has not been established, then a plurality of effect symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination manner indicating the determination result of loss.

  Since the conventional reach production effect is a simple production system (production control) that informs that it is a loss after a failure production that suggests that the reach has not been established, the player's reach expectation due to the production effect Although the player's sense of hope has been raised, the player's expectation is pushed down to despair at the same time as the scene changes due to failure production, which leads to a decrease in the player's willingness to play, and enhances the fun and playability of the game. I couldn't. That is, it was not an effective production.

  Therefore, in the present invention, when it is determined that the big hit game is performed by the big hit determining means 43a, the reach hitting effect is performed and it becomes a successful effect suggesting the establishment of the reach, and after reaching the reach, the reach effect is developed to become a big hit. In addition to the conventional production mode, a reach production production is performed and the production is a failure production that suggests that the reach has not been established. When the display screen returns to the normal screen (normal background) after a scene change, a pair of right and left objects 18a and 18b appear on the front side of the screen and combine to produce a decisive announcement that the game is a big hit, and a reach production effect is performed, resulting in a failure effect. When returning to (Background), the combination mode of the left and right effect symbols is changed and displayed from the non-reach state to the reach state, and the three effect symbols include a mode indicating the reach state. In the combination mode, it is possible to execute any of the production modes of the production mode in which the pair of left and right accessory members 18a and 18b appear on the front side of the screen and merged to be surely notified of the big hit. is there.

  By constructing such a production system (production control), even if the reach production effect is executed and the failure production suggests that the reach is not established, the production will be a revival jackpot, so the player at the time of the scene change A dramatic and effective production that transforms the feeling of disappointment into joy.

Next, an example in which Example 1 is partially changed will be described.
(1) As shown in FIG. 40, a production pattern determination table includes a plurality of reach production effects (reach production 1, reach production 2,... N), a plurality of SP reach exclusive productions (SP1, SP2,... n) A plurality of special effects for SP / SP reach (SP / SP1, SP / SP2... n) may be provided.

  The plurality of reach production effects are set so that the success rate of reach establishment differs for each type and the production mode is different (for example, characters appearing are different). 40 are set so that the success rate of reach establishment increases in the order of reach reach 3 <reach reach 2 <reach reach 1.

  The plurality of SP reach effects are set so that the jackpot expectation is different for each type, and the effect modes are different (characters appearing are different). SP1 and SP2 as SP reach effects shown in FIG. 40 are set so that the big hit expectation is higher in the order of SP2 <SP1.

  The plurality of SP / SP reach productions are set so that the jackpot expectation is different for each type, and the characters and the like appearing are different. SP1 and SP2 as SP / SP reach effects shown in FIG. 40 are set so that the degree of big hit expectation increases in the order of SP · SP2 <SP · SP1. The selection ratio of the effect pattern shown in FIG. 40 is set according to the selection ratio of the special symbol variation pattern shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (1), when the low probability / non-time-short state is set, for example, when the first special symbol becomes the jackpot symbol A, the variation pattern 8 of the first special symbol is determined. The effect pattern 8 corresponding to the determined variation pattern 8 is uniquely determined, and the reach turn 1, SP1 is uniquely determined by the effect pattern 8. In this case, when the reach success 1 with a high success rate is performed, the player's expectation for becoming a reach or performing a reach production with a high expectation level after reaching the reach state is enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (1), for example, when the first special symbol becomes a jackpot symbol B, the variation pattern 12 of the first special symbol is determined, and the effect pattern 12 corresponding to the determined variation pattern 12 is determined. Is uniquely determined, and the reach roll 3 is uniquely determined by the effect pattern 12. In this case, since the reach hit 3 with a low success rate is performed, the player is aware that there is a high possibility that the reach hit production will be a failure production, and then the jackpot finalizing production is executed suddenly after the failure production. A dramatic and effective production that transforms the feeling of disappointment into joy.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 40 (2), when the low-probability / non-short-time state is set, for example, when the number of the first special symbol hold is 0, 1, the first special symbol becomes a lost symbol. In this case, the variation pattern 31 of the first special symbol is determined, the effect pattern 31 corresponding to the determined variation pattern 31 is uniquely determined, and reach reach 3 is uniquely determined by the effect pattern 31. It is determined. In the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 16, since the variation pattern 31 is set to have a higher selection rate than the variation patterns 32 to 34, the first special symbol hold is set when the low-accuracy / non-time-short state is set. When the number is 0,1 and the first special symbol is a losing symbol, after the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed, an effect pattern is executed in which reach success 3 is performed with a lower success rate than reach success 1 and 2. It is easy to be done. On the other hand, when the first special symbol is a jackpot symbol, the effect pattern to be reached is determined according to the selection ratio of the variation pattern of the special symbol shown in FIG. Is also determined according to the selection ratio of the variation pattern of the special symbol.

  Also, in the effect pattern determination tables of FIGS. 40 (1) and 40 (2), when reach hit 1 is executed in either case of big hit or lost, SP1 or SP with high expectation degree of big hit is executed. -It is set to increase the possibility that SP1 will be performed.

  In addition, although illustration is omitted, in the low-accuracy / short-time effect pattern determination table and the high-accuracy / short-time effect pattern determination table, a plurality of reach production effects (reach roll 1, reach roll 2, ... n), multiple SP reach exclusive effects with different jackpot expectations (SP1, SP2 ... n), multiple SP / SP reach exclusive effects with different jackpot expectations (SP / SP1, SP / SP2) ... n) may be provided.

(2) Although the pseudo continuous notice effect has been described as the notice effect, a step-up notice effect may be executed as the notice effect. The step-up notice effect is an effect in which the effect display mode changes (steps up) in a plurality of stages, and the greater the number of times the effect display mode changes, the higher the jackpot reliability and the reach reliability.

  Whether or not the step-up notice effect is executed is determined using the notice effect lottery table corresponding to the effect pattern by obtaining the random number for determining the effect when the special symbol change start command is received. When an effect pattern including execution of step-up notice effects is determined, step-up notice effects are performed after the three sets of effect symbol sequences 17a start to fluctuate, and then reach reach effects described in FIGS. 26 and 27 are performed. To do.

  In the second embodiment, the presence / absence of execution of reach reach production is uniquely determined based on the effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol to be executed using the effect pattern determination table, and the reach beat effect to be executed is determined. The type is determined by lottery from a plurality of reach productions with different reach success rates.

  As shown in FIG. 41, in the effect pattern determination table, there is a reach-rolling effect lottery table for determining one reach-rolling effect among a plurality of reach-rolling effects. In this reach production effect lottery table, a numerical value (decision value) to be compared with a random value (0 to 99) for determining reach production is assigned in advance to each of the plurality of reach productions 1 to 3 and acquired. The type of reach production is selected and determined based on the random number value. Reach rolls 1 to 3 have different production modes (for example, different characters or the like), but production times are set to the same time. In addition, reach turn 1 to 3 are set so that the success rate of reach establishment increases in the order of reach turn 3 <reach turn 2 <reach turn 1.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (1), when the low probability / non-time-short state is set, for example, when the first special symbol becomes the jackpot symbol A, the variation pattern 9 of the first special symbol is determined. Then, the production pattern 9 (pseudo (three times) → reach roll → normal reach → SP · SP1) corresponding to the variation pattern 9 is uniquely determined. Note that SP / SP1 is a reach production with a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than SP / SP2.

  In the production pattern 9, since it is uniquely determined to execute the reach production production, any one of the reach production 1 to 3 is drawn by using the reach production production lottery table shown in FIG. Determined by. In this case, the rate at which reach turn 1 is selected is set high, that is, when SP / SP1 with a high jackpot expectation is performed, the rate at which reach turn 1 with a high reach success rate is executed. Is expensive.

  In addition, for example, when the first special symbol is the jackpot symbol A, when the variation pattern 10 of the first special symbol is determined, the effect pattern 10 corresponding to the variation pattern 10 (pseudo (four times) → reach) → Normal reach → SP1 → SP · SP1) is uniquely determined.

  In the production pattern 10, since it is uniquely determined that the reach production effect is executed, any one of the reach production 1 to 3 is selected by using the reach production production lottery table shown in FIG. Determined by. In this case, the rate at which reach turn 2 is selected is set to be high. That is, when SP / SP2 with a big hit expectation lower than SP / SP1 is performed, the success rate of reach establishment is greater than reach turn 3 Is higher and reach rate 2 is lower than reach rate 1.

  On the other hand, for example, when the variation pattern 33 of the first special symbol is determined when the first special symbol is a lost symbol, an effect pattern 33 corresponding to the variation pattern 33 (pseudo (three times) → reach-learning → Normal reach → SP · SP2) is uniquely determined.

  In the production pattern 33, since it is uniquely determined to execute the reach production effect, any one of the reach production 1 to 3 is selected by using the reach production production lottery table shown in FIG. Determined by. In this case, the rate at which reach reach 3 is selected is set to be high, that is, when SP · SP2 with a big hit expectation lower than SP · SP1 is performed, reach success 3 with a low reach success rate. The rate at which is executed is high.

  For example, when the first special symbol is a losing symbol and the variation pattern 34 of the first special symbol is determined, the production pattern 34 corresponding to the variation pattern 34 (pseudo (four times) → reach over → normal reach → SP1 → SP · SP1) is uniquely determined.

  In the production pattern 34, since it is uniquely determined to execute the reach production effect, any one of the reach production 1 to 3 is selected by using the reach production production lottery table shown in FIG. Determined by. In this case, when the ratio of reach reach 2 is set to be high and SP / SP1 with a high expectation degree of jackpot is performed, the success rate of reach establishment is higher than reach reach 3 and reach reach 1 The rate at which low reach 2 is executed is high.

  In this way, when the low probability / non-short-time state is set, if a big hit is achieved, the success rate of the success of reach establishment is high, while the rate of execution of the roaring effect is high, The ratio of executions with a low reach success rate is high. Therefore, when the reach hit 1 is executed, the player's sense of expectation for a reach effect with a high jackpot expectation level after the reach state is reached is enhanced.

  Note that, when the low accuracy / short time state or high accuracy / short time state is set, the presence / absence of the reach production effect is uniquely determined by the effect pattern corresponding to the determined variation pattern of the special symbol. The type of reach production effect to be executed is selected and determined by lottery from a plurality of reach production effects with different reach success rates. Although illustration is omitted, in order to determine the type of reach production, the reach pattern drawing table for the low accuracy / short time and the production pattern determination table for the high accuracy / short time state have a reach production lottery table, respectively. When one of a plurality of reach production effects that exist and have different success rates is executed, one reach production effect is determined by lottery by lottery from among a plurality of reach production effects using a reach production effect lottery table. .

Next, the symbol variation effect selection process executed by the computer of the effect control board 23 will be described.
In the symbol variation effect selection process shown in FIG. 42, when S231 to S234 are executed and then a reach roll effect is executed based on the selected effect pattern (S235A: Yes), as described in FIG. The type of reach-making effect (reach-making 1 to 3) to be executed is determined using the reach-making effect lottery table based on the random value for determining the reach-making effect acquired when the special symbol change start command is received (S235B). ), A notice effect command including the information of the determined reach effect is set (S235C).

  After execution of S235C, when another notice effect (for example, pseudo continuous notice effect, serif notice effect, mini character notice effect, etc.) is executed (S236A: Yes), a notice effect command including information on the notice effect is set. After that (S237), the processing of S238 to S240 is sequentially executed. Whether or not to execute the serif notice effect and the mini character notice effect is determined by lottery.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, when a game ball wins the big winning opening 14a and passes through the specific area 14f during the big hit game, the game is controlled in a highly accurate / short time state after the special game is finished. Although this is an example applied to a VST machine, if the number of fluctuations of a special symbol becomes an unrealistic number of times (for example, 10,000 times) without a big hit, the big hit probability is changed to a low probability state, that is, the next big hit The present invention may be applied to a so-called loop machine in which the big hit probability is continuously set in a high probability state until

  Alternatively, if the jackpot probability is set to a high probability state, the special symbol change count is changed to a low probability state when the number of changes in the special symbol is a realistic number (for example, about 100), and the jackpot probability is high. The present invention may be applied to a so-called ST machine in which the probability of winning a big hit within the number of times set in the state (for example, about 100 times) is several tens of percent (for example, about 80%).

  In addition, various modifications can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1 Pachinko machine 17 Image display apparatus 19a, 19b Special symbol display 43 Special symbol information determination means 44 Special symbol display control means 70 Effect control means 71 Symbol fluctuation effect control means

The present invention has the following configuration. Note that the reference numerals show an example of the correspondence with the components shown in the drawings for the purpose of promoting the understanding of the present invention, and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.
The present invention (gaming machine (1)) has a determination means (43) for determining whether or not a special game advantageous to a player is performed, and a predetermined symbol display based on the determination result by the determination means (43). The symbols are variably displayed by the symbol display control means (44) for stopping and displaying the determination symbol indicating the determination result after the symbols are variably displayed on the means (19a, 19b) and the symbol display control means (44). At the same time, the effect control means (70 (70) for causing the effect presentation to stop display the plurality of effect symbols in the display mode corresponding to the determination symbol after the plurality of effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the predetermined effect display means (17). 71)) and wherein the presentation control means (70 (71)) is, when viewing fluctuations, can execute suggest reach suggesting produce a possibility that the plurality of performance symbols is reach state together with a certain, it is when the previous symbol multiple of the performance symbol is ing to reach state the reach effect a real line available-, If it is determined to perform the special game by serial determination means (43), when the plurality of performance symbols running the reach suggestion effect is reach state, the plurality of performance symbols after performing the reach demonstration A first effect mode in which the determination means stops display in a display mode indicating that it is determined that a special game is to be performed, and when the reach suggestion effect is executed and the plurality of effect symbols are not in a reach state. , a plurality of representation embodiment comprising a second representation embodiment to display stopped in a display manner indicating that it is determined to perform the special game by the determination means to said plurality of performance symbols without Rukoto perform the reach demonstration Any one of the effects can be executed.

The reach production effect (reach suggestion effect) is the same as the left effect symbol, where the left effect symbol is temporarily stopped and the right effect symbol is temporarily stopped after the three effect symbol sequences 17a start to fluctuate. In other words, whether or not to temporarily stop with the symbols constituting the reach, the reach is established when this effect is successful, and the reach is not established when this effect fails.

The present invention has the following configuration. Note that the reference numerals show an example of the correspondence with the components shown in the drawings for the purpose of promoting the understanding of the present invention, and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.
The present invention (gaming machine (1)) has a determination means (43) for determining whether or not a special game advantageous to a player is performed, and a predetermined symbol display based on the determination result by the determination means (43). The symbols are variably displayed by the symbol display control means (44) for stopping and displaying the determination symbol indicating the determination result after the symbols are variably displayed on the means (19a, 19b) and the symbol display control means (44). At the same time, the effect control means (70 (70) for causing the effect presentation to stop display the plurality of effect symbols in the display mode corresponding to the determination symbol after the plurality of effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the predetermined effect display means (17). The production control means (70 (71)) may reach a reach state using any one of the plurality of production symbols when the plurality of production symbols are variably displayed. The reach suggestion effect that suggests When it is determined that a special game is to be performed by the determination means (43), the reach suggestion is executed and the plurality of effect symbols are in a reach state. A first effect mode in which the plurality of effect symbols are stopped and displayed in a display mode indicating that it is determined that the special game is to be performed by the determination means (43) after the execution, and the reach suggestion effect is executed to execute the plurality of effect indications. When the effect symbol is in a non-reach state where the reach state is not reached, the display unit includes the effect symbol that uses the plurality of effect symbols in the reach suggestion effect without executing the reach effect, and the determination unit (43 ) That it is possible to execute any one of the plurality of presentation modes including the second presentation mode that is stopped and displayed in the display mode indicating that it is determined that the special game is performed. And butterflies.

On the other hand, in the case where the production pattern 31 (pseudo (twice) → reach reach → non-reach (lack)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice effect (pseudo continuous variation twice) is performed, (41) → (42 ) → (43) → (44), (45) Even if the character TR performs a kick attack, the right effect symbol “5” is not destroyed, and (47) the effect symbol “5” is temporarily stopped. In other words, as shown in FIG. 26, when the failure effect is reached and reach is not established, (48) the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at “6” and “5” (non-reach state), When changing the scene, the character TR disappears from the screen to indicate the end of the reach production effect, and a screen to return to the normal screen is displayed. (A1) The display screen returns to the normal screen and the three effect symbols Of "6""4""5" After being temporarily stopped and displayed in the combination aspect showing a constant result, (A2) 3 single performance symbols of the temporary stop display state is determined statically displayed. Note that a series of effects in (4 7 ) in FIG. 26 → (48) in FIG. 27 → (A 1) in FIG. 28 corresponds to a scene change. The player is discouraged because he recognizes that the reach will be unsuccessful and the game will be lost after the scene change.

When the production pattern 11 (pseudo (three times) → reach roll → normal reach (win)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice production (pseudo continuous variation three times) is performed, (41) → (42 in FIG. ) → (43) → (44) → (45), then (4 7 ) failed production suggesting that the reach was not established, as shown in FIG. (B1) When the display screen returns to the normal screen, a pair of left and right accessory members 18a and 18b suddenly appear (advance) and merge to form a big hit. (Big hit confirmed production). (B2) After that, the three effect symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state in combination modes “6”, “6”, and “6” indicating the determination result of the big hit. As a result, dramatic and effective production can be performed that changes the disappointment of the player at the time of the scene change and turns it into joy.

Alternatively, when the production pattern 12 (pseudo (four times) → reach roll → normal reach (win)) is executed, after the pseudo continuous notice production (pseudo continuous variation four times) is performed, (41) in FIG. (42) → (43) → (44) → (45) is performed, (4 7 ) is a failure production suggesting that the reach is not established, and (48) a scene change is performed as shown in FIG. (C1) When the display screen returns to the normal screen, the display mode of the left and right effect symbols temporarily displayed in the non-reach state “6” “5” at the time of the scene change is “6” “6”. In the state changed to the reach state, the temporary stop display is performed, and then (C2) the center effect symbol is temporarily stopped with the “S” symbol, and the three effect symbols are “6”, “S”, and “6”. After a temporary stop display in a specific combination mode, (C3) a pair of left and right accessory members 18 , 18b is is definitely informed it is a big hit by coalesce appeared on the front screen (big hit confirm director). (C4) After that, the three effect symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the combination modes “6”, “6”, and “6” indicating the determination result of the big hit. This gives a sense of incongruity to the display of the three effects after changing the scene from the non-reach state to the reach state, creating a sense of expectation for the subsequent game, and then changing that expectation to joy. A dramatic and effective production can be performed.
