(Description of gaming state)
Next, the gaming state when the game progresses will be described.

The state relating to the special symbol lottery includes “low probability gaming state” and “high probability gaming state”, and states relating to the movable member 14a of the second start-up control device 14 include “non-time-short gaming state” and “time-short gaming state”. It has. In this embodiment,
(1) In the case of “low probability gaming state” and “short-time gaming state” (first specific gaming state),
(2) In the case of “low probability gaming state” and “non-temporary gaming state” (normal gaming state),
(3) “High probability game state” and “time-short game state” (second specific game state) are provided.
Note that the initial gaming state of the gaming machine Y after power-on is set to “normal gaming state”. In addition to the above gaming state, a “high probability gaming state” and a “non-short game state” (third specific gaming state) may be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the “low probability gaming state” is a big win in a special symbol lottery performed on the condition that a game ball wins (enters a ball) at the first start port 13 or the second start port 15. For example, the game state in which the winning probability is set as low as 1 / 319.7. On the other hand, the “high probability gaming state” refers to a gaming state set with a high jackpot winning probability (for example, 1/32) compared to the low probability gaming state. Therefore, in the “high probability gaming state”, it is easier to win a jackpot than in the “low probability gaming state”.

The transition from the low-probability gaming state to the high-probability gaming state is triggered by winning a predetermined jackpot, and the timing for changing from the low-probability gaming state to the high-probability gaming state ends the jackpot game. After.
In this embodiment, the jackpot that triggers the transition to the high probability gaming state is called “probable jackpot” (first jackpot, second jackpot), and the jackpot that triggers the transition to the low probability gaming state is “normal” "Big jackpot" (third jackpot).

  In the present embodiment, the “non-short-time gaming state” means that in the normal symbol lottery performed on the condition that the game ball has passed through the ordinary gate 11, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result This is a gaming state that is set longer than the “short-time gaming state” and that is easily set shorter than the “short-time gaming state”. For example, when a game ball passes through the general gate 11, a normal symbol lottery is performed, and the normal symbol display is performed on the normal symbol display 22. Stop display after 30 seconds. If the lottery result is a win, after the normal symbol stop display, the second start port 15 is controlled to be open for 0.2 seconds, for example.

  On the other hand, the “short-time gaming state” means that in the normal symbol lottery performed on the condition that the game ball has passed through the ordinary gate 11, the average variation time of the normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result is “non- The gaming state that is set shorter than the “short-time gaming state” and that the opening time of the second start port 15 when winning the winning is 2.6 seconds, for example, is set longer than the “non-short gaming state” Say.

  Furthermore, in the “non-short game state”, the probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery is set as low as 1/128, for example, and in the “short time game state”, the probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery is For example, it is set as high as 127/128. Therefore, in the “short-time gaming state”, when the game ball passes through the usual gate 11 than in the “non-short-time gaming state”, the second start port 15 is more easily controlled to the open state. Thus, in the “short-time gaming state”, the player can advantageously advance the game without consuming the game ball.

  In this embodiment, the “short-time gaming state” is more advantageous than the “non-short-time gaming state” in terms of the normal symbol variation time, the opening time of the second start port 15, and the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery. It is set to be. However, in the “short-time gaming state”, only one or two of the winning probability of winning in the normal symbol variation time, the opening time of the second start port 15 and the normal symbol lottery is advantageous. It may be set to.

(Type of jackpot)
Next, the type of jackpot will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the types of jackpots that can be won in the first special symbol lottery based on the winning of a game ball to the first starting port 13 are “first jackpot”, “second jackpot” and “third jackpot”. "Big jackpot" is provided, and "First jackpot" and "Second jackpot" are provided as the types of jackpots that can be won in the second special symbol lottery based on the winning of a game ball to the second starting port 15 .

“First jackpot” means that the first jackpot game is executed 16 times in a round game in which the winning prize opening 17 is opened for 29.5 seconds, and after the first jackpot game is over, the game state is changed to a special symbol (first game). It is a big hit that is set to the second specific gaming state until the variable display of 1 special symbol and 2nd special symbol) is performed 10,000 times.
However, if a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the big prize opening 17 before the opening time (29.5 seconds) of the big prize opening 17 elapses, one round game is completed. become. When the 16th round game ends, the first jackpot game ends.

  The second specific gaming state is set until the special symbol variation display is performed 10,000 times, but in the second specific gaming state, it is a big hit before the special symbol variation display is performed 10,000 times. Since the probability of winning is extremely high, it can be said that the second specific gaming state continues substantially until the next jackpot is won. In addition, if any of the jackpots is won after the second specific gaming state is set and the change display is performed 10,000 times, the gaming state is changed (transferred) based on the winning jackpot. .

“Second jackpot” means that the second jackpot game is executed four times in a round game in which the winning prize opening 17 is opened for 29.5 seconds, and after the second jackpot game is over, the game state is changed to a special symbol (first game). It is a big hit that is set to the second specific gaming state until the variable display of 1 special symbol and 2nd special symbol) is performed 10,000 times.
However, if a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the big prize opening 17 before the opening time (29.5 seconds) of the big prize opening 17 elapses, one round game is completed. become. When the fourth round game ends, the second jackpot game ends.

“Third jackpot” means that the third jackpot game is executed four times in a round game in which the winning prize opening 17 is opened for 29.5 seconds, and after the third jackpot game is over, the game state is changed to a special symbol (first game). It is a big hit to be set to the first specific gaming state until the variable display of 1 special symbol and 2nd special symbol) is performed 100 times.
However, if a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the big prize opening 17 before the opening time (29.5 seconds) of the big prize opening 17 elapses, one round game is completed. become. When the fourth round game ends, the third big hit game ends.

  “Second jackpot” and “third jackpot” have the same number of round games of four, but the game states set after the end of the jackpot game are different.

  It should be noted that the number of variable display times (in the present embodiment, the above 100 times or 10,000 times) of the specific game state (the first specific game state, the second specific game state, etc.) set after the jackpot game is referred to as “high It may be expressed as “the number of times” or “the number of time reductions”.

  In this embodiment, there are three types of jackpots, but the number is not limited to three, and may be fewer or more than three. In addition, the opening time of the big prize opening 17 in one round game is 29.5 seconds regardless of which jackpot (first jackpot to third jackpot), but the opening time is not 29.5 seconds. The opening time may be different depending on the round game.

(Per hit type)
Next, the winning type will be described.

  In the present embodiment, “per first” and “per second” are provided as the types that can be won in the normal symbol lottery based on the passing of the game ball to the ordinary gate 11. If the normal symbol lottery is won when the gaming state is set to the non-short-time gaming state, it becomes “first big hit”, and the normal symbol lottery is won when the gaming state is set to the short-time gaming state Becomes “second big hit”.

“First hit” means that the second start port 15 executes a first hit game that is opened once for 0.2 seconds.
However, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the second start port 15 before the opening time (0.2 seconds) of the second start port 15 elapses, the first winning game is ended. It will be. Unlike the jackpot game, the gaming state is not changed (transferred) after the winning game is over.

The “second hit” is to execute a second hit game in which the second start port 15 is opened for 2.6 seconds, then closed for 1.5 seconds, and again opened for 2.6 seconds. That is, it is a hit game in which the second start port 15 is opened twice.
However, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the second start opening 15 before the opening time (2.6 seconds) of the second start opening 15 elapses, one opening is completed. It will be. When the second opening is finished, the second winning game is finished. Unlike the jackpot game, the gaming state is not changed (transferred) after the winning game is over.

  As described above, in the “short-time gaming state”, it is easier for the game ball to win the second starting port 15, and the player can advantageously play the game without consuming the game ball than the “non-short-time gaming state”. It is possible to proceed.

(Main processing of main control board)
The main process of the main control board 110 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of main processing of the main control board 110 in the present embodiment.

  When a power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board 180, a system reset occurs in the main CPU 110a, and the main CPU 110a performs the following main processing.

  First, in step S10, the main CPU 110a performs an initialization process. In this process, the main CPU 110a reads the activation program from the main ROM 110b and initializes each storage area of the main RAM 110c when the power is turned on.

  In step S20, the main CPU 110a updates the special figure fluctuation random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern in the special symbol fluctuation display composed of the reach determination random number and the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number. .

  In step S30, the main CPU 110a updates an initial value random number including an initial value random number for jackpot determination, an initial value random number for special symbol determination, an initial value random number for hit determination, and the like. Thereafter, the processes of step S20 and step S30 are repeated until a predetermined interrupt process is performed.

(Timer interrupt processing of main control board)
The timer interrupt process of the main control board 110 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of timer interrupt processing of the main control board 110 in the present embodiment.

  A clock pulse is generated every predetermined period (4 ms) by a crystal oscillator provided on the main control board 110, thereby executing a timer interrupt process described below.

  First, in step S100, the main CPU 110a saves the information stored in the register of the main CPU 110a to the stack area.

  In step S110, the main CPU 110a updates the special symbol time counter, updates the special game timer counter such as the opening time of the big prize opening 17, etc., updates the normal symbol time counter, and opens the second start port 15. A time control process for updating various timer counters such as a starter timer counter update process is performed. Specifically, 1 is subtracted from the special symbol time counter, the special game timer counter, the normal symbol time counter, the start port open timer counter, and the start port close timer counter.

  In step S120, the main CPU 110a determines the jackpot determination random number value, the special symbol determination random number value, the special symbol variation pattern determination random value, the hit determination random number value, the normal symbol determination random value, the normal symbol variation pattern determination random number. Perform specific random number update processing such as numerical values.

  In step S130, the main CPU 110a updates the jackpot determination initial value random number value, the jackpot symbol determination initial value random value, the hit determination initial value random number value, and the normal symbol determination initial value random number value in the same manner as in step S30. Perform initial value random number update processing.

  In the random number update process, the random number is updated by adding “1” to the random number counter provided in the main RAM 110c for each random number type. Various random numbers are appropriately provided with a random number range, and the random number range is from “0” to a maximum value appropriately determined for each type of the random number. In the update of the random number, when the random number indicated by the random number counter is the maximum value in the random number range, the random number counter is reset to “0” without adding “1”, and each random number value is newly updated from the initial random number at that time. Update to

  In step S200, the main CPU 110a performs input control processing. In this input control process, the main CPU 110a performs various types of the general winning opening detection switch 10a, the general gate detection switch 11a, the first starting opening detection switch 13a, the second starting opening detection switch 15a, and the large winning opening detection switch 17a. It is determined whether or not a detection signal is input from the switch. When it is determined that the detection signal is input, control corresponding to the various switches to which the detection signal is input is performed. If it is determined that no detection signal is input, the input control process is terminated.

  Specifically, when the main CPU 110a determines that a detection signal has been input from the general winning opening detection switch 10a, the main CPU 110a adds "1" to the general winning opening prize ball counter used for winning balls and updates it.

  When the main CPU 110a determines that the detection signal from the normal gate detection switch 11a has been input, the counter value of the general map hold number counter for counting the general map hold number (G) is smaller than 4 (upper limit value). It is determined whether or not. If the main CPU 110a determines that the counter value of the usual figure pending number counter is smaller than 4, the main CPU 110a updates the counter value of the usual figure pending number counter by adding "1". Further, the main CPU 110a sets the normal symbol hold display data indicating the number of holds in a predetermined area of the main RAM 110c in order to update the number of general symbols hold (G) displayed on the normal symbol hold display 25.

  And main CPU110a acquires common symbol determination information, and memorize | stores the acquired common symbol determination information in a normal symbol holding | maintenance storage area.

  The normal symbol holding storage area is divided into a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit, and the general symbol determination information is stored in order from the storage unit with the smallest number among the storage units in which the general symbol determination information is not stored. It will be remembered. In addition, each memory | storage part is divided | segmented for every common figure determination information memorize | stored.

  Further, when the main CPU 110a determines that the detection signal from the first start port detection switch 13a has been input, the main CPU 110a adds “1” to the start port prize ball counter and updates it.

  Next, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the counter value of the first hold number counter that counts the first hold number (U1) is smaller than 4 (upper limit value). When the main CPU 110a determines that the counter value of the first hold number counter is smaller than 4, the main CPU 110a adds “1” to the first hold number counter and updates it. Further, the main CPU 110a sets special symbol hold display data indicating the number of holds in a predetermined area of the main RAM 110c in order to update the first hold number (U1) displayed on the first special symbol hold indicator 23. .

  And main CPU110a acquires special figure determination information, and performs 1st prior determination based on the acquired special figure determination information. In the first pre-determination, first start winning information for indicating in advance the determination result of the special figure determination information of the first start port 13 acquired this time is determined.

  Then, the main CPU 110a sets the first start winning information determined in the first preliminary determination in the effect transmission data storage area.

  Thereby, the first start prize information can be transmitted to the effect control board 130, and the effect control board 130 that has received the first start prize information analyzes the first start prize information and uses the first start prize information as the first start prize information. Before the start of the change display of the corresponding special symbol, one change display executed before that, or the display of a continuous notice effect or a hold icon for executing a predetermined notice effect over a plurality of change displays A pre-reading effect such as a pending change notice effect that changes the aspect can be executed.

Then, the main CPU 110a stores the acquired special symbol determination information in the first special symbol storage area.
The first special symbol holding storage area is divided into a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit, and the special figure determination information is a memory having a small number among the storage units in which the special figure determination information is not stored. It is memorized in order from the part. In addition, each memory | storage part is divided | segmented for every special figure determination information memorize | stored.

  When the main CPU 110a determines that the detection signal from the second start opening detection switch 15a has been input, the main CPU 110a adds "1" to the start opening prize ball counter and updates it, and the second start opening entry counter is updated. Update by adding "1". The second starting entrance counting rule counter counts the number of winnings to the second starting entrance 15 in one hit game. This is because, in the present embodiment, the number of winning (entering) balls to the second start port 15 for a single winning game is limited.

  The main CPU 110a determines whether or not the counter value of the second hold number counter that counts the second hold number (U2) is smaller than 4 (upper limit value). When the main CPU 110a determines that the counter value of the second hold number counter is smaller than 4, the main CPU 110a adds “1” to the second hold number counter and updates it. Further, the main CPU 110a sets special symbol hold display data indicating the number of holds in a predetermined area of the main RAM 110c in order to update the second hold number (U2) displayed on the second special symbol hold indicator 24. .

  And main CPU110a acquires special figure determination information, and performs a 2nd prior determination based on the acquired special figure determination information. In the second pre-determination, second start winning information for indicating in advance the determination result of the special figure determination information of the second start port 15 acquired this time is determined.

  Then, the main CPU 110a sets the second start winning information determined in the second preliminary determination in the effect transmission data storage area.

  Thereby, the second start prize information can be transmitted to the effect control board 130, and the effect control board 130 that has received the second start prize information analyzes the second start prize information and uses the second start prize information as the second start prize information. Before the start of the change display of the corresponding special symbol, one change display executed before that, or the display of a continuous notice effect or a hold icon for executing a predetermined notice effect over a plurality of change displays A pre-reading effect such as a pending change notice effect that changes the aspect can be executed.

Then, the main CPU 110a stores the acquired special figure determination information in the second special symbol holding storage area.
The second special symbol holding storage area is divided into a first storage unit to a fourth storage unit, and the special figure determination information is a storage unit with a small number among the storage units in which the special figure determination information is not stored. It is memorized in order. In addition, each memory | storage part is divided | segmented for every special figure determination information memorize | stored.

  When the main CPU 110a determines that the detection signal from the big prize opening detection switch 17a has been inputted, the main CPU 110a adds "1" to the big prize mouth prize ball counter used for the prize ball and updates it. The round winning counter (C) for counting game balls won in the mouth 17 is updated by adding “1”. This round winning counter (C) counts the number of winnings to the big winning opening 17 in one round game. Thus, the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 17 is counted because the number of winning (winning) balls to the big winning opening 17 of the game ball for one round game is limited.

  In step S300, the main CPU 110a performs special symbol special electric control processing for performing special symbol lottery, special symbol display control, opening / closing control of the special winning opening 17 (opening / closing member 16a), gaming state control, and the like. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S400, the main CPU 110a performs a normal / normal power control process for performing normal symbol lottery, opening / closing control of the second starting port 15 (movable member 14a), and the like.

  Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the general map hold number counter for counting the general map hold number (G) is 1 or more, and the counter value of the general map hold number counter is not 1 or more. If it is determined, the ordinary power transmission control process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the counter value of the common figure holding number counter is 1 or more, after subtracting “1” from the counter value of the common figure holding number counter, the first to fourth storages in the normal symbol holding storage area The common figure determination information stored in the section is shifted to the previous storage section. At this time, the common figure determination information already written in the 0th storage unit is overwritten and erased.

  Then, the normal symbol lottery is performed based on the general symbol determination information stored in the 0th storage unit of the normal symbol holding storage area.

  When the normal symbol lottery is performed, the normal symbol display 22 displays the variation of the normal symbol, and when the variation time of the normal symbol elapses, the normal symbol indicating the lottery result is stopped.

  If the lottery result is “winning normal symbol”, the second start opening / closing solenoid 14b is driven, and the second start opening 15 is controlled to open for a predetermined opening time.

  In step S500, the main CPU 110a performs a payout control process. In this payout control process, the main CPU 110a refers to the respective prize ball counters, generates payout number information corresponding to various winning ports, and transmits the generated payout number information to the payout control board 120.

  In step S600, the main CPU 110a outputs external information data (game information) output from the game information output terminal board 100, drive control data output to the second start opening / closing solenoid 14b, and the big prize opening opening / closing solenoid 16b, and 1st special symbol indicator 20, 2nd special symbol indicator 21, normal symbol indicator 22, first special symbol hold indicator 23, second special symbol hold indicator 24, normal symbol hold indicator 25, round number display Data creation processing for creating various display control information to be output to the device 26 and the right-handed display device 27 is performed.

  In step S700, the main CPU 110a performs output control processing. In this process, a port output process for outputting signals such as the external information data created in step S600 and the drive control information is performed. Further, a display output process for outputting a signal such as display control information created in step S600 is performed. Further, information output processing for outputting information set in the transmission buffer of the main RAM 110c to another board is also performed.

  In step S800, the main CPU 110a restores the information saved in step S100 to the register of the main CPU 110a.

(Special figure special electric control processing of main control board)
With reference to FIG. 5, the special figure special power control process of the main control board 110 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the special figure special power control process of the main control board 110 in the present embodiment.

  First, in step S301, the main CPU 110a loads special figure special electricity processing data. In step S302, the main CPU 110a refers to the branch destination address from the loaded special figure special electricity processing data. The process moves to the memory determination process (step S310). If the special symbol special power process data = 1, the process moves to the special symbol variation process (step S320). The process moves to step S330), and if special figure special power processing data = 3, the process moves to jackpot game processing (step S340), and if special figure special power processing data = 4, the big bonus game end process (step S350) is processed. Move.

  As will be described later, this “special special charge processing data” is a process in each special special symbol control process (special symbol storage determination process, special symbol variation process, special symbol stop process, jackpot game process, jackpot game end process. ) Will be set as necessary.

  In step S310, the main CPU 110a determines a jackpot determination for determining whether or not the special symbol determination information is a big hit, a special symbol determination for determining the type of the special symbol to be stopped, and a special symbol variation pattern (variation time). Special symbol memory determination processing including processing such as special symbol fluctuation pattern determination is performed.

  Specifically, first, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not data “1” or more is set in the first hold number (U1) storage area or the second hold number (U2) storage area. When it is determined that data of “1” or more is not set in any storage area of the first hold number (U1) storage area or the second hold number (U2) storage area, the special figure special electric processing data = The special symbol memory determination process is terminated while 0 is held.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that data of “1” or more is set in the first hold number (U1) storage area or the second hold number (U2) storage area, the main CPU 110a performs a jackpot determination.

  Specifically, when “1” or more data is set in the second reserved number (U2) storage area, “1” is subtracted from the value stored in the second reserved number (U2) storage area. Then, the special figure determination information stored in the first storage unit to the fourth storage unit in the second special symbol holding storage area is shifted to the previous storage unit. At this time, the special figure determination information already stored in the 0th storage unit is overwritten and deleted.

  Then, a jackpot determination is performed as to whether or not the special symbol determination random number value stored in the 0th storage unit of the second special symbol hold storage area is a random value corresponding to “big hit”.

  In addition, when data of “1” or more is not set in the second reserved number (U2) storage area and data of “1” or more is set in the first reserved number (U1) storage area, the first After subtracting “1” from the value stored in the reserved number (U1) storage area, the special figure determination information stored in the first to fourth storage units in the first special symbol storage area Shift to the previous storage unit. Also at this time, the special figure determination information already written in the 0th storage unit is overwritten and erased.

  Then, a jackpot determination is performed as to whether or not the special symbol determination random number value stored in the 0th storage unit of the first special symbol hold storage area is a random value corresponding to “big hit”.

  Next, the main CPU 110a performs special symbol determination.

Specifically, when it is determined that the jackpot is "big hit", the special symbol determination random number for which the jackpot is determined is compared with the jackpot special symbol determination table shown in FIG. Determine the jackpot special symbol.
A specific description of the jackpot special symbol determination table will be described later with reference to FIG.

If it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be “losing”, the special symbol determination random number for which the jackpot is determined is compared with the loss special symbol determination table shown in FIG. judge.
A specific description of the loss special symbol determination table will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Then, the special symbol stop data corresponding to the determined special symbol (the jackpot special symbol or the lost special symbol) is stored in the special symbol stop data storage area, and the effect symbol information corresponding to the determined special symbol is transmitted for the effect. Set in the data storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 110a performs special figure fluctuation pattern determination.

Specifically, the reach determination random number value stored in the first special symbol reservation storage area or the 0th storage unit of the second special symbol reservation storage area, and the special figure variation pattern determination random number value, The special symbol variation pattern (variation time) is determined by collating with the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG.
The specific description of the special symbol variation pattern determination table will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Then, the variation time corresponding to the determined variation pattern of the special symbol is set in the special symbol time counter, and variation pattern information corresponding to the determined variation pattern of the special symbol is set in the effect transmission data storage area.

  In addition, variable display data for causing the first special symbol display 20 or the second special symbol display 21 to perform the variable display (flashing of the LED) of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is predetermined. Set in the processing area. Thereby, when the variable display data is set in the predetermined processing area, the data for turning on or off the LED is appropriately created in step S600, and the created data is output in step S700. Variation display of the first special symbol display 20 or the second special symbol display 21 is performed.

  Then, the main CPU 110a changes the special symbol special electricity processing data from 0 to 1, prepares to move to the special symbol variation processing subroutine, and ends the special symbol memory determination processing.

  In step S320, the main CPU 110a performs a special symbol variation process for performing a special symbol stop display.

Specifically, the main CPU 110a determines whether or not the special symbol change time set in step S310 has elapsed (special symbol time counter = 0). If it is determined that the variation time has not elapsed, the special symbol variation process is terminated while holding the special symbol special power process data = 1.
The special symbol time counter in which the variation time of the special symbol is set in step S310 is subtracted in step S110.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluctuation time has elapsed, the first special symbol or the second special symbol determined in step S310 is stopped on the first special symbol display 20 or the second special symbol display 21. Display. As a result, the player is notified of the lottery result of the special symbol lottery.

  Then, the special symbol special electric processing data is changed from 1 to 2, preparation is made to move to the special symbol stop processing subroutine, and the special symbol variation processing is terminated.

  In step S330, the main CPU 110a performs a special symbol stop process for determining whether the special symbol that is stopped and displayed is a “big hit special symbol” or a “losing special symbol”.

  First, when the remaining number of time reductions> 0, the main CPU 110a updates the time reduction counter by subtracting “1” from the time reduction counter indicating the remaining number of time reductions. Clear the short-time game flag indicating the state. Further, when the remaining number of high-precision counts> 0, update by subtracting “1” from the high-accuracy number counter indicating the remaining number of high-accuracy counts. Clear the highly probable game flag indicating that it is in a gaming state.

  The main CPU 110a clears the time-short game flag, the high-probability game flag, the time-short-time counter, and the high-accuracy counter when the special symbol that is stopped and displayed is determined to be a jackpot symbol. The processing data is changed from 2 to 3, preparation is made to move to the jackpot game processing subroutine, and the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the symbol is a lost symbol, the special symbol special electric processing data is changed from 2 to 0, preparation is made to move to a special symbol memory determination processing subroutine, and the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

  In step S340, the main CPU 110a determines which of the first jackpot, the second jackpot, or the third jackpot is to be executed, and performs a jackpot game process for controlling the determined jackpot.

  Specifically, the type of jackpot is determined based on the type of jackpot special symbol (special drawing stop data) determined in step S310.

  Next, in order to execute the determined type of jackpot, the opening time of the jackpot 17 corresponding to the jackpot type is set in the special game timer counter, and the driving data of the jackpot opening / closing solenoid 16b is output. The grand prize opening 17 is opened. At this time, “1” is added to the round game count (R) storage area.

  When a predetermined number of game balls wins (wins) during the opening or when the opening time of the big winning opening 17 has elapsed (round winning counter (C) = 10 or special game timer counter = 0), The output of the drive data of the big prize opening / closing solenoid 16b is stopped and the opening / closing member 16a is closed. Thereby, one round game is completed. Also, the counter value of the round winning counter (C) is cleared.

  When a predetermined number of round games (in this embodiment, four times or sixteen times) are completed, the data stored in the round game number (R) storage area is cleared and the special figure special processing data is set to 3 From 4 to 4, preparation is made to move to the jackpot game end process subroutine, and the jackpot game process is terminated.

  In step S350, the main CPU 110a performs jackpot game end processing for determining any game state.

Specifically, based on the type of jackpot (special figure stop data) determined in the above step S310, the setting of the high probability game flag, the setting of the high probability count, the setting of the short time game flag, and the setting of the short time count are performed. Is called.
For example, if the type of jackpot is the first jackpot or the second jackpot, the high-probability game flag and the short-time game flag are set, and the high-precision count is set in each counter (high-precision count counter, short-time count counter). And 10,000 times are set as the number of time reductions. Also, if the type of jackpot is the third jackpot, the time-saving game flag is set, and the time-saving count counter is set to 100 times.

  After that, the special symbol special electric processing data is changed from 4 to 0, and preparations for transferring to the special symbol memory determination processing subroutine are made, and the jackpot game end processing is terminated.

(Special symbol judgment table)
The special symbol determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating an example of the special symbol determination table. Specifically, FIG. 6A is a jackpot special symbol determination table that is referred to in the special symbol determination when it is determined to be a jackpot, and FIG. 6B is a special symbol when it is determined to be lost. It is a loss special symbol determination table referred by determination.

  The jackpot special symbol determination table is divided according to the type of start opening (the first start port 13 and the second start port 15) in which a game ball has entered that triggers the special symbol determination. Each table includes a special symbol determination value of a special symbol determination random number, a determination result (special symbol type), and special symbol stop data so that the special symbol selection rate shown in FIG. Stored in association.

The lost special symbol determination table is divided according to the type of start port (first start port 13 and second start port 15) in which a game ball has entered that triggers the special symbol determination. Each table includes a special symbol determination value of a special symbol determination random number, a determination result (special symbol type), and special symbol stop data so that the special symbol selection rate shown in FIG. 6B is obtained. Stored in association.
In addition, a plurality of special symbols and special symbol determination values may be associated with each other so that a plurality of special symbols can be determined even in the case of a loss.

(Variation pattern determination table)
The variation pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B. FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are diagrams illustrating an example of a variation pattern determination table. Specifically, FIG. 7A is a variation pattern determination table that is referred to when a variation display of a special symbol is performed by entering a game ball into the first starting port 13, and FIG. FIG. 10 is a variation pattern determination table that is referred to when a special symbol variation display is performed by entering a game ball into the second starting port 15.

Each variation pattern determination table is divided according to special figure stop data which is a determination result of special symbol determination. In each table, the reach determination value of the reach determination random number and the special figure fluctuation pattern so as to be the reach selection ratio and the special figure fluctuation pattern selection ratio shown in FIG. 7A and FIG. The special figure variation pattern determination value of the random number for determination and the variation pattern of the special symbol are stored in association with each other.
Note that the variation time of the special symbol is associated with the variation time of the special symbol.

  Therefore, it can be said that the “special symbol variation pattern” can specify at least the lottery result of the special symbol lottery and the variation time of the special symbol. In addition, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is lost, the reach determination random number value is referred to. However, in the case of a big hit, the reach always occurs, so the reach determination random number value is not referred to.

  The main CPU 110a refers to the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 7, and based on the special symbol lottery result (special diagram stop data), the reach determination random number, and the special symbol variation pattern determination random number. Determine the variation pattern. Based on the determined special symbol variation pattern, special symbol variation pattern information is generated and transmitted to the effect control board 130.

  In addition, as will be described later, the effect control board 130 determines a change effect pattern (effect contents or the like) related to the change display of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 based on the change pattern of the special symbols. In the rightmost column of the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 7, the effect contents (variation effect patterns) such as the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are described for reference.

  Here, the “normal fluctuation” described in the rightmost column is a fluctuation mode in which the plurality of effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 change at a high speed without reaching reach.

  In addition, the “reach” described in the rightmost column is a game in which a part of the combination of effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 for notifying the jackpot is temporarily stopped and other effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 change. It is a variation aspect that gives the person a sense of expectation (expected degree) of winning the jackpot. For example, when a combination of three-digit effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 of “777” is set as a combination of effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 for notifying the jackpot (a jackpot mode), two effect symbols are set in the left area and the right area. This is a mode in which TZ1 and TZ3 are temporarily stopped at “7”, and the remaining effect symbols TZ2 are changing in the central region.

  “Temporary stop” means that the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are shaken small, or the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are deformed to a small extent, so that the player feels that the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are stopped. It is a mode of being (not completely stopped).

  In addition, the “normal reach” described in the rightmost column indicates that the big win winning expectation in which two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 are temporarily stopped in the left region and the right region and the remaining one effect symbol TZ2 varies in the central region. Low reach. In the present embodiment, “normal reach” is configured to be executed only when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a special symbol for losing, but also when it is a special symbol for jackpot. Also good.

  In addition, the “super reach” described in the rightmost column is a display in which the reach state symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are switched to a reduced display, and a special effect by a predetermined character (in this embodiment, a friend character And a battle effect with enemy characters).

  In addition, the “full rotation reach” described in the rightmost column means a mode in which the combination of a plurality of effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 for notifying the jackpot is changed at a low speed, and in this embodiment Is a reach executed only when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a jackpot special symbol.

  In the present embodiment, the expectation degree for winning a jackpot related to reach production is higher in the order of normal reach <super reach <full turn reach (decision of jackpot).

  The special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 7 is referred to regardless of the gaming state. However, a variation pattern determination table having different variation pattern selection modes is provided for each of the plurality of gaming states, and the game at that time You may make it change the variation pattern determination table referred according to a state.

  As described above, the main control board 110 transmits various information to the effect control board 130 and the like. When the effect control board 130 receives various types of information transmitted from the main control board 110, the effect control board 130 stores the received information in the reception buffer.

  Then, the effect control board 130 (sub CPU 130a, overall CPU 140a) analyzes the received information and generates information for executing various effects. Thereafter, the generated various information is transmitted to the sound control unit 150, the image control unit 160, and the lamp control unit 170.

  In the audio control unit 150, by receiving information from the effect control board 130, output control of the audio output device 33 is performed based on the received information.

  Similarly, the image control unit 160 receives information from the effect control board 130, and based on the received information, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the second image display device (sub liquid crystal). ) The display control of the image at 31 is performed, and the lamp control unit 170 receives information from the effect control board 130, thereby controlling the lighting of the frame illumination device 34, the panel drive device 35, and the effect button drive motor 37b. The drive control is performed.

  Hereinafter, an example of processing executed by the effect control board 130 will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Variation effect pattern determination process)
Although not shown, when the effect control board 130 receives the change pattern information from the main control board 110, the effect control board 130 performs a change effect pattern determination process.

  The variation effect pattern determination process of the effect control board 130 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a variation effect pattern determination process in the effect control board 130.

  First, in step S1000, the sub CPU 130a stores the received variation pattern information in the variation pattern information area of the storage area of the presentation information in the sub RAM 130c. In other words, the variation pattern information that has been stored in the storage area for the production information is overwritten with new variation pattern information.

  In step S1001, the sub CPU 130a acquires a random effect pattern determination random value, and in step S1002, selects a variable effect pattern determination table. The variation effect pattern determination table is stored in the sub ROM 130b, and details thereof will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1003, the sub CPU 130a determines a variation effect pattern. Specifically, the variation pattern information stored in step S1000 and the variation effect pattern determination random value acquired in step S1001 are collated with the variation effect pattern determination table selected in step S1002, and the variation effect is determined. A pattern is determined, and variation effect pattern information corresponding to the determined variation effect pattern is set in the transmission buffer of the sub-RAM 130c.

  In step S1004, the sub CPU 130a determines whether or not to execute the janken effect in the variation effect to be executed in the future. In the variation effect by the variation effect pattern that is “◯” in the “Janken effect execution enable / disable” column in the variation effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 9, the janken effect is executed. If the sub CPU 130a determines that the janken effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to step S1005. If the sub CPU 130a determines not to execute the janken effect, the sub CPU 130a ends the variation effect pattern determination process.

This janken effect is an effect performed on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 by the janken confrontation between the ally character and the enemy character in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 and winning or losing the janken confrontation. It is an effect that suggests whether or not the content of the production changes to content advantageous to the player.
Note that this janken effect corresponds to the change suggestion effect of the present invention.

  In step S1005, the sub CPU 130a acquires a random number value for determining the janken effect pattern, and in step S1006, selects the janken effect pattern determination table. The janken effect pattern determination table is stored in the sub ROM 130b, and details thereof will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S1007, the sub CPU 130a determines a janken effect pattern. Specifically, the janken effect pattern determination random number acquired in step S1005 is checked against the janken effect pattern determination table selected in step S1006 to determine the janken effect pattern, and the janken effect pattern corresponding to the determined janken effect pattern is determined. The effect pattern information is set in the transmission buffer of the sub RAM 130c.

  The variation effect pattern information and the janken effect pattern information set in steps S1003 and S1007 are transmitted to the overall control unit 140 and the lamp control unit 170. Then, the first and second image display devices (main liquid crystal) 30, the second image display device (sub-liquid crystal) 31, the audio output device 33, and the frame illumination device are used for the variation effect pattern information and the variation effect corresponding to the janken effect pattern information. 34 and the effect device such as the board driving device 35.

(Variation production pattern determination table)
The variation effect pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a variation effect pattern determination table that is referred to when a variation effect pattern is determined.

The variation effect pattern determination table stores the variation effect pattern determination value of the variation effect pattern determination random number and the variation effect pattern so as to correspond to the variation effect pattern selection rate shown in FIG. 9 for each variation pattern. Has been. Further, the variation effect pattern includes the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the audio output device 33, the frame illumination device 34, and the panel drive device 35. The production contents of the fluctuation production to be performed are associated with whether or not the janken production can be executed.
In FIG. 9, “◯” in the “Janken effect execution availability” column indicates that “Janken effect is executed”, and “X” indicates that “Janken effect is not executed”. In addition, the fluctuation time is the production time of the fluctuation effect.

  As described above, when the sub CPU 130a receives the variation pattern information and obtains the variation effect pattern determination random value, the sub CPU 130a refers to the variation effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. Based on the numerical value, the variation effect pattern is determined.

Here, “Restoration effect” described in the effect content column of the variation effect pattern determination table means that the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are temporarily displayed in a losing manner (design temporary stop) and then changed from a losing manner to a jackpot manner. By displaying it (stopping the design), the effect is as if it had been restored from a loss to a big hit.
Also, “Revival Gase Production” means that the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are temporarily displayed in a lost manner (design temporary stop), and the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are displayed again in a lost manner without changing from the lost manner to the big hit manner. By stopping (design stop), it is an effect as if the resurrection from the loss to the jackpot failed.

The “promotion effect” described in the effect content column of the variation effect pattern determination table is a normal jackpot mode (“222”, “444”, “666”) indicating that the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are once a normal jackpot. "888") is displayed (design temporary stop) and then changed from a normal big hit mode to a probable big hit mode ("111", "333", "555", "777") indicating a probable big hit mode. ), The effect is as if you were promoted from a normal jackpot to a promising jackpot.
In addition, “promotional gaze effect” means that the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are once displayed in the normal jackpot mode, and the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are displayed again in the normal jackpot mode without changing from the normal jackpot mode to the probability change jackpot mode. As a result, it seems that the promotion from normal jackpot to probable jackpot has failed.
The promotion effect is not limited to the effect as if it was promoted from a normal jackpot to a probable bonus jackpot, but from a normal jackpot to a probable jackpot with the largest number of round games (in this embodiment, the first jackpot jackpot). It is also possible to produce as if promoted.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9, in the variation effect pattern determination table, the variation effect pattern in which the janken effect is executed has a higher variation expectation degree than the variation effect pattern in which the janken effect is not executed. The pattern selection rate is set.
The variation effect pattern selection rate is set so that the promotion effect or the revival effect is more easily executed in the variation effect pattern in which the janken effect is executed than in the variation effect pattern in which the janken effect is not executed.

(Janken production pattern determination table)
The janken effect pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a janken effect pattern determination table referred to when determining a janken effect pattern.

  The janken effect pattern determination table stores the janken effect pattern determination value of the janken effect pattern determination random number and the janken effect pattern so as to correspond to the janken effect pattern selection rate shown in FIG. 10 for each variation effect pattern. Has been. Further, the contents of the effect of the janken effect performed by the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the audio output device 33, and the like are associated with the janken effect pattern.

  As described above, when the sub CPU 130a acquires the random number for determining the janken effect pattern, the sub CPU 130a refers to the variable effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. The janken production pattern will be decided.

Here, “losing with goo” described in the column of the production contents of the janken production pattern determination table is an production in which the ally character goes out of the goo and loses the janken confrontation with the enemy character, and the first image is displayed. The device (main liquid crystal) 30 suggests that the promotion effect and the revival effect are not performed.
Further, “losing with a kid” is an effect in which the ally character makes a kid and loses the junken confrontation with the enemy character. In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the promotion effect and the resurrection are performed. This suggests that there will be no directing.
Further, “losing by par” is an effect in which the ally character puts out par and loses the janken confrontation with the enemy character. In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the promotion effect and the revival are performed. This suggests that there will be no directing.

In addition, “win with goo” described in the column of the effect contents of the janken effect pattern determination table is an effect in which the ally character takes a goo and wins the janken confrontation with the enemy character. The first image display device (Main liquid crystal) 30 suggests that a promotion effect or a revival effect is performed.
Further, “winning with a choki” is an effect in which a friendly character makes a choki and wins a junken confrontation with an enemy character. In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the promotion effect or revival is achieved. This suggests that the production will be performed.
Further, “winning with a par” is an effect in which a teammate character puts out a par and wins a junken confrontation with an enemy character. In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the promotion effect or the resurrection is achieved. This suggests that the production will be performed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, in the janken performance pattern determination table, the expectation of winning the janken confrontation when the ally character puts out a par, that is, in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, The janken performance pattern selection rate is set so that the degree of expectation that the revival performance will be performed is high.

(Example of production of fluctuation production)
An example of the effect of variation effect will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIGS. 13 to 20, illustrations of effects performed in the first hold icon display area, the changing icon display area, the second hold icon display area, and the like are omitted.

  First, with reference to FIG. 11A, an example of an effect in the case where “variable effect pattern 3” is determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process and the janken effect is not executed will be described.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the variation of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 is started, and the normal variation is executed until the timing T01. When the timing T01 is reached, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have changed until then. Among them, a reach state is established in which two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (left symbol and right symbol) are temporarily stopped at the same number (here, 6), and only the effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) changes until timing T02. Normal reach to be performed.

  At timing T02, a character image G1 notifying that super reach is executed is displayed, and then super reach is performed in which the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight until timing T03.

At timing T03, the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled, and a state in which the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2 is displayed.
In addition, by displaying that the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2, it is suggested to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is lost.

Next, in the period from timing T03 to timing T04, the number (7 in this case) is different from the two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (left symbol and right symbol) where the effect symbol TZ2 (middle symbol) has been stopped first. By stopping at, the symbol stop of the losing manner in which the numbers of the three effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are not aligned has been performed.
In addition, by the symbol stop in this loss mode, the player is informed that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a loss.
The effect from the establishment of such reach to the stop of the symbol corresponds to the determination result suggesting effect of the present invention.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11B and FIGS. 13 to 14, an effect example in the case where “variable effect pattern 5” and “janken effect pattern 1” are determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process will be described. To do.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 13A, the variation of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 is started, and the normal variation is executed until the timing T11. As shown in b), among the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have fluctuated so far, two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (the left symbol and the right symbol) temporarily stop at the same number (here, 6). The state is established, and normal reach is performed until timing T12.

  At timing T12, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a character image G1 notifying that the super reach is executed, and then the super reach where the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight each other. Is performed (see FIGS. 13C to 13E).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the character for informing that the janken effect is started at the timing T <b> 13 when super reach is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. The image G2 is displayed, and thereafter, a janken effect is performed in which the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 have a junken confrontation (see FIGS. 13D to 13E).

Then, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a state in which the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled at the timing T14, and the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2. The effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) is stopped, and the symbol temporary stop is performed in a lost manner in which the numbers of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are not aligned until timing T15 (see FIGS. 13 (f) and 14 (a)).
It should be noted that the game is based on the display that the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2 shown in FIG. 13 (f) and the symbol temporary stop (in this case, “676”) in the lost state shown in FIG. 14 (a). This suggests that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is lost.

On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, a janken effect is executed at the timing T <b> 14, and in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the design is temporarily stopped in a lost manner. At time T15, when the team character C3 and the enemy character C4 have settled the janken showdown, the teammate character C3 is defeated in the janken showdown (FIGS. 13 (f) to 14 (a)). reference).
14A shows that the teammate character C3 is defeated in the janken confrontation, so that the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 of the losing mode displayed on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 are a big hit. This suggests that there is no change to the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 of the aspect, that is, the revival effect is not performed.

In the period from the timing T15 to the timing T16, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 by changing (changing) from the symbol temporary stop until then to the symbol stop (Fig. 14 (b)).
At this time, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays a character image G3 indicating that the restoration effect is not performed (see FIG. 14B).
Note that the display shown in FIG. 14B notifies the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is lost.

Here, the symbol temporary stop means that all the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are shaken or deformed to a small extent so that the effect symbol TZ1 to TZ3 is stopped (completely). It is a stop mode (not stopped).
The symbol stop is a stop mode in which the design symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are completely stopped while the design symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are not completely stopped. is there.

  In this way, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a loss, a display that indicates a loss in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 (battle defeat display and symbol temporary stop in a loss manner) Since the effect result (defeat) of the janken effect suggesting that the revival effect is not performed in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 is displayed at a predetermined timing after performing the first image display device ( Both the effect (super reach) on the main liquid crystal (30) and the effect (junken effect) on the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 can be noted, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  Further, even when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a loss, from the display (battle defeat display and symbol temporary stop in the loss manner) indicating that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is a loss At a later timing, a janken effect that suggests whether or not a revival effect is performed in the second image display device (sub-liquid crystal) 31 is performed, so that it is a loss in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. Even after the display to suggest (battle defeat display, symbol temporary stop in the manner of losing) is performed, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for the jackpot winning.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 11C and 15, an effect example in the case where “variable effect pattern 7” and “janken effect pattern 5” are determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process will be described.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 15A, fluctuations in the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are started, and normal fluctuations are executed until timing T21. As shown in FIG. 15 (b), two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (the left symbol and the right symbol) among the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have fluctuated until then are temporarily stopped at the same number (here, 7). The reach state is established, and the normal reach is performed until timing T22.

  At the timing T22, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a character image G1 notifying that the super reach is executed, and then the super reach where the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight each other. Is performed (see FIGS. 15C to 15E).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the character for informing that the janken effect is started at the timing T <b> 23 when super reach is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. The image G2 is displayed, and thereafter, a janken effect is performed in which the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 have a junken confrontation (see FIGS. 15D to 15E).

Then, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a state in which the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled and the teammate character C1 wins the enemy character C2 at timing T24, and thereafter The effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) is stopped, and the symbol temporary stop is performed in the probability variation big hit mode in which the numbers of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are aligned until the timing T25 (see FIGS. 15 (f) to (g)).
In addition, by the display of the appearance of the ally character C1 winning the enemy character C2 shown in FIG. 15 (f) and the symbol temporary stop (here, “777”) in the probability variation big hit mode shown in FIG. 15 (g), This suggests to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a promising big hit.

On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, a janken effect is executed at timing T 24, and in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the design temporary stop in the probability variation big hit mode is performed. At the timing T25 when the player is in the game, the janken showdown between the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 is settled and the teammate character C3 wins the janken showdown (see FIGS. 15F to 15G). ).
Note that the fact that the teammate character C3 shown in FIG. 15 (g) has won the Janken confrontation is displayed, thereby notifying that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit.

In the period from timing T25 to timing T26, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 while changing (changing) from the symbol temporary stop to the symbol stop (Fig. 15 (h)).
At this time, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 performs a blessing effect in which the character image G4 celebrating the probable big hit is displayed (see FIG. 15H).
The display shown in FIG. 15 (h) informs the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit.

  As described above, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit, and when the symbol temporary big stop mode is displayed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are displayed in the probable big hit mode, that is, When the promotion effect and the resurrection effect are not performed, the teammate character always wins the janken effect performed in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11D, FIG. 13, and FIG. 16, an effect example in the case where “variable effect pattern 21” and “janken effect pattern 2” are determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process will be described. To do.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 13A, the variation of the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 is started, and the normal variation is executed until the timing T31. When the timing T31 is reached, As shown in FIG. 13 (b), two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (the left symbol and the right symbol) among the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have fluctuated until then are temporarily set to the same number (here, 6). A reach reach state is established, and normal reach is performed until timing T32.

  At timing T32, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a character image G1 notifying that the super reach is executed, and then the super reach where the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight each other. Is performed (see FIGS. 13C to 13E).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the character for informing that the janken effect is started at the timing T <b> 33 when super reach is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. The image G2 is displayed, and thereafter, a janken effect is performed in which the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 have a junken confrontation (see FIGS. 13D to 13E).

Then, on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled, and at time T34, the appearance of the teammate character C1 winning the enemy character C2 is displayed. The effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) is stopped, and the symbol temporary stop is performed in the normal big hit mode in which the numbers of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are aligned until the timing T35 (see FIGS. 16A to 16B).
Note that the display of the appearance of the teammate character C1 winning the enemy character C2 shown in FIG. 16A and the symbol temporary stop (in this case, “666”) in the normal jackpot mode shown in FIG. This suggests to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is usually a big hit.

On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, a janken effect is executed at the timing T34, and in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the symbol temporary stop in the normal big hit mode is performed. At time T35 when the player is in the game, the junken showdown between the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 is settled, and the ally character C3 is defeated in the janken showdown (see FIGS. 16A to 16B). ).
In addition, the effect symbol TZ1 to TZ3 of the normal big hit mode displayed on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is displayed by the display of the appearance that the ally character C3 is defeated in the janken confrontation shown in FIG. This suggests that there is no change to the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 of the aspect, that is, no promotion effect is performed.

In the period from timing T35 to timing T36, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 by changing (changing) from the symbol temporary stop to the symbol stop (Fig. 16 (c)).
At this time, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays a character image G5 indicating that the promotion effect is not performed (see FIG. 16C).
Note that the display shown in FIG. 16C notifies the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is usually a big hit.

  As described above, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a normal jackpot, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 performs display indicating that it is a normal jackpot (design temporary stop in a normal jackpot mode). At a later predetermined timing, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays an effect result (defeat) of the janken effect suggesting that no promotion effect is performed, so the first image display device (main liquid crystal) It is possible to pay attention to both the effect at 30 (super reach) and the effect at the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 (junken effect), and the fun of the game can be improved.

  In addition, even when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a normal jackpot, a display that suggests a normal jackpot on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 (a symbol temporary stop in a normal jackpot mode) is later. At the timing, a janken effect is performed that suggests whether or not the promotion effect is performed in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, and thus it is suggested that the normal big hit in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. Even after the display (design temporary stoppage in the normal jackpot mode) is performed, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for the probability winning jackpot winning.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 12A, 13, and 17, an effect example in the case where “change effect pattern 9” and “janken effect pattern 6” are determined in the above-described change effect pattern determination process will be described. To do.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 13A, the fluctuations of the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are started and the normal fluctuation is executed until the timing T41. As shown in FIG. 13 (b), two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (the left symbol and the right symbol) among the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have fluctuated until then are temporarily set to the same number (here, 6). A reach reach state is established, and normal reach is performed until timing T42.

  At timing T42, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a character image G1 notifying that the super reach is executed, and then the super reach where the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight each other. Is performed (see FIGS. 13C to 13E).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the character for informing that the janken effect is started at the timing T <b> 43 when super reach is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. The image G2 is displayed, and thereafter, a janken effect is performed in which the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 have a junken confrontation (see FIGS. 13D to 13E).

Then, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a state in which the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled and the teammate character C1 wins the enemy character C2 at timing T44. The effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) is stopped, and the symbol temporary stop is performed in a normal big hit mode in which the numbers of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are aligned until the timing T45 (see FIGS. 17A to 17B).
It should be noted that the display of the appearance of the ally character C1 winning the enemy character C2 shown in FIG. 17A and the symbol temporary stop (in this case, “666”) in the normal jackpot mode shown in FIG. This suggests to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is usually a big hit.

On the other hand, at the timing T44, the second image display device (sub-liquid crystal) 31 performs a janken effect, and the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 performs a temporary temporary stop in the normal big hit mode. At the timing T45 when the player is in the game, the junken showdown between the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 is settled and the teammate character C3 wins the janken showdown (see FIGS. 17A to 17B). ).
In addition, by displaying a situation where the teammate character C3 shown in FIG. 17B has won the janken confrontation, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 in the normal jackpot mode displayed on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 are displayed. This suggests that the production pattern TZ1 to TZ3 of the probable big hit mode is changed, that is, the promotion production is performed.

  Thereafter, the movable effect member 80 moves to the effect position, and the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the effect image EF in accordance with the movable effect member 80, and the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31. Then, the character image G6 which notifies that it is promoted is displayed (see FIG. 17C).

In the period from timing T46 to timing T47, on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are changed (changed) from the symbol temporary stop until then to be displayed (Fig. 17 (d)).
At this time, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays a character image G4 celebrating the probable big hit (see FIG. 17D).
Note that the display shown in FIG. 17D notifies the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit.

  In this way, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit and the promotion effect is performed, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 indicates that it is a normal big hit (the symbol in the normal big hit mode) At a predetermined timing after the (temporary stop), the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays the effect result (win) of the janken effect suggesting that the promotion effect is performed, so the first image display Both the effect (super reach) on the device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the effect (junken effect) on the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 can be noted, and the entertainment of the game can be improved. .

  In addition, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 at a timing later than the display (usually the symbol temporary stop in the normal jackpot mode) indicating that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is a normal jackpot. Since the janken effect that suggests whether or not the promotion effect is performed is performed, a display that suggests that it is a normal jackpot in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 (design temporary stop in a normal jackpot mode) is performed. After that, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for winning a promising big hit.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12B, FIG. 13, and FIG. 18, an effect example in the case where “variable effect pattern 11” and “janken effect pattern 5” are determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process will be described. To do.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 13A, the variation of the production symbols TZ <b> 1 to TZ <b> 3 is started and normal variation is executed until timing T <b> 51, and when timing T <b> 51 is reached, As shown in FIG. 13 (b), two effect symbols TZ11 and TZ3 (the left symbol and the right symbol) among the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have fluctuated until then are temporarily set to the same number (here, 6). A reach reach state is established, and normal reach is performed until timing T52.

  At timing T52, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a character image G1 notifying that the super reach is executed, and then the super reach where the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight each other. Is performed (see FIGS. 13C to 13E).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, the character for informing that the janken effect is started at timing T 53 when super reach is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. The image G2 is displayed, and thereafter, a janken effect is performed in which the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 have a junken confrontation (see FIGS. 13D to 13E).

Then, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a state in which the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled at the timing T54, and the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2. The effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) is stopped, and the symbol temporary stop is performed in a lost manner in which the numbers of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are not aligned until timing T55 (see FIGS. 18A to 18B).
It is to be noted that the game is based on the display that the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2 shown in FIG. 18A and the symbol temporary stop (in this case, “676”) in the lost state shown in FIG. 18B. This suggests that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is lost.

On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, a janken effect is executed at the timing T54, and in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the design is temporarily stopped in a lost manner. At time T55, the junken showdown between the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 is concluded, and the teammate character C3 wins the janken showdown (see FIGS. 18A to 18B). .
In addition, by displaying a situation where the teammate character C3 shown in FIG. 18 (b) has won the janken confrontation, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 of the losing mode displayed on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 are a big hit. It is suggested that the design changes to the design symbols TZ1 to TZ3 of the aspect, that is, the revival effect is performed.

  Thereafter, the movable effect member 80 moves to the effect position, and the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the effect image EF in accordance with the movable effect member 80, and the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31. Then, the character image G7 informing that it will be restored is displayed (see FIG. 18C).

In the period from the timing T56 to the timing T57, in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 change from the symbol temporary stop in the previous loss mode to the symbol stop in the probable big hit mode ( Changed) and displayed (see FIG. 18D).
At this time, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays a character image G8 celebrating the jackpot (see FIG. 18D).
Note that the display shown in FIG. 18D informs the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit.

  As described above, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit and a resurgence effect is performed, a display (battle defeat display and loss) that suggests that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 has lost. Because the effect result (win) of the janken effect suggesting that the promotion effect is performed in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 is displayed at a predetermined timing after performing the design temporary stop in the mode. Both the effect (super reach) on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the effect (junken effect) on the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 can be noted, and the interest of the game is improved. Can be made.

  In addition, the second image display device (sub-display) is displayed at a timing later than the display (battle defeat display and symbol temporary stop in the loss mode) indicating that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is lost. The liquid crystal) 31 performs a janken effect that suggests whether or not a revival effect will be performed. Therefore, a display suggesting that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is losing (a battle defeat display, a pattern in a losing manner) It is possible to have a sense of expectation for the big win even after the temporary stop).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12C, FIG. 13, and FIG. 18, an effect example in the case where “variable effect pattern 23” and “janken effect pattern 5” are determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process will be described. To do.

  It should be noted that from the timing T60 to the timing T66 in FIG. 12C, the above-described “variable effect pattern 11” in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31. And “Janken production pattern 5” are executed, the same variation production is executed, and the description in this period is omitted.

In the period from timing T65 to timing T66, as shown in FIG. 18C, after the restoration effect is performed, in the period from timing T66 to timing T67, in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, The effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are changed (changed) from the symbol temporary stop in the previous loss mode to the symbol stop in the normal jackpot mode (see FIG. 18E).
At this time, the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 displays a character image G8 celebrating the jackpot (see FIG. 18E).
Note that the display shown in FIG. 18E informs the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is usually a big hit.

  In this way, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is usually a big hit and the revival effect is performed, a display (battle defeat display and loss) that suggests that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 has lost. Because the effect result (win) of the janken effect suggesting that the promotion effect is performed in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 is displayed at a predetermined timing after performing the design temporary stop in the mode. Both the effect (super reach) on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the effect (junken effect) on the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 can be noted, and the interest of the game is improved. Can be made.

  In addition, the second image display device (sub-display) is displayed at a timing later than the display (battle defeat display and symbol temporary stop in the loss mode) indicating that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is lost. The liquid crystal) 31 performs a janken effect that suggests whether or not a revival effect will be performed. Therefore, a display suggesting that the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 is losing (a battle defeat display, a pattern in a losing manner) It is possible to have a sense of expectation for the big win even after the temporary stop).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the effect result of the janken effect performed in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 is the same, the case where the revival effect is suggested and the promotion effect are suggested. Since there are cases, it is possible to draw attention to both the effect (super reach) on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the effect (junken effect) on the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31. The interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since there are a revival effect for notifying a probable jackpot and a revival effect for notifying a normal jackpot, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) even if the janken confrontation is won in the janken effect. ) Since it is not possible to determine which jackpot will be made until the symbol is stopped at 30, it is possible to give the player a sense of pounding.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the revival effect is performed, it is impossible to determine which jackpot will be made until the symbol is stopped in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. However, it may be possible to determine the type of jackpot based on janken production. For example, in the janken confrontation in the janken production, if it is Aiko, a normal jackpot may be reported, and if it is a victory, a probable jackpot may be reported.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the janken effect is started at a predetermined timing (start timing) during super-reach in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, and after the symbol temporary stop is performed. However, the start timing and the end timing are not limited to these timings, and may be set appropriately. For example, it is possible to start the super reach and janken production at the same time, start the janken production before the start of the super reach, and end the janken production at the timing before the super reach ends. May be. The end timing may be before the execution of the super reach in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 or before the battle win / loss display in the super reach.

Further, in the present embodiment, the revival effect is normally performed when winning a big jackpot or a probable bonus jackpot, but may be performed when winning a jackpot.
Here, “small hit” means that a right to play a small hit game is acquired. “Small hit game” is a game state in which the opening / closing control of the big prize opening 17 is controlled a predetermined number of times like a big hit game, but unlike the big hit game, the game state is changed after the end of the small hit game. It will not be set.

  Further, in this embodiment, there are only two types of performance results of the janken production, either winning the janken confrontation or defeating it, but there may be a case where it is unclear. For example, if a janken showdown is acceptable as in a modification of the first embodiment to be described later, another junken showdown may be performed, and as described above, the jackpot that is different from the case of winning the janken showdown You may make it alert | report (improve) the classification of.

(Modification of the first embodiment)
In the production example in the first embodiment described above, the janken confrontation was performed only once during the variation production, but may be performed a plurality of times.
A modified example in which janken confrontation is performed a plurality of times during a variation effect will be described using FIGS.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 19A, the variation of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 is started.

  After the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 have been changed for a predetermined time, two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (the left symbol and the right symbol) of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have changed until then are the same numbers (here, 6), the reach state for temporary stop is established, and normal reach is performed (see FIG. 19B).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, when the normal reach is being performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, a character image G2 is displayed to notify that the janken effect is started, Thereafter, a janken effect is performed in which the ally character C3 and the enemy character C4 have a junken confrontation (see FIGS. 19B to 19D).

  Then, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays a character image G1 notifying that super reach is executed, and then super reach is performed in which the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 fight (FIG. 5). 19 (c)-(e)).

  On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, when super reach is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the first janken confrontation between the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 is settled. And a character image G9 is displayed to notify that the teammate character C3 and the enemy character C4 are different from each other, and then notify that the janken showdown will be performed again (FIGS. 19E and 19F). )reference).

Then, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the conclusion that the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 has been settled, and the teammate character C1 has won the enemy character C2, and then the production symbol TZ2 The (medium symbol) stops, and the symbol temporary stop in the normal jackpot mode in which the numbers of the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are aligned is performed (see FIGS. 19 (f) and 20 (a)).
In addition, by the display of the appearance that the ally character C1 wins the enemy character C2 shown in FIG. 19 (f) and the symbol temporary stop (here, “666”) in the normal jackpot mode shown in FIG. 20 (a), This suggests to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is usually a big hit.

On the other hand, in the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, when the symbol temporary stop is performed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the second junken showdown is settled and the friend character C3 A state of winning the janken confrontation is displayed (see FIG. 20A).
In addition, by the display of the appearance that the teammate character C3 shown in FIG. 20 (a) has won the janken confrontation, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 in the normal big hit mode displayed on the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 are probable big hits. This suggests that the aspect design symbols TZ1 to TZ3 change, that is, the promotion effect is performed.

  Thereafter, the movable effect member 80 moves to the effect position, and the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 displays the effect image EF in accordance with the movable effect member 80, and the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31. Then, the character image G6 informing the promotion is displayed (see FIG. 20B).

In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are changed (changed) from the symbol temporary stop in the normal big hit mode to the symbol stop in the probable big hit mode. (See FIG. 20 (c)).
On the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31, a character image G4 celebrating the big hit is displayed (see FIG. 20C).
Note that the display shown in FIG. 20C notifies the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a probable big hit.

  As described above, the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the second image display device (main liquid crystal) 30 and the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 are subjected to the janken effect a plurality of times during the variation effect. Both the image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 can be noticed, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  As in the modification example, when the second image display device (sub liquid crystal) 31 performs a plurality of effects during the variation effect, different effects may be performed. For example, if the character performs a challenge effect (a jump rope challenge effect, a ball throw challenge effect, etc.) to challenge something, if the challenge effect is successful, the next challenge effect is performed, and if all the challenge effects are successful, the first image In the display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the promotion effect or the revival effect may be performed.

(Second embodiment of the present invention)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the Janken production suggested whether or not the promotion production or the revival production is executed, but in the second embodiment, the type of reach is expected to be a big winner It is different in that it suggests whether or not to change to a high degree of reach (chance UP).
In the second embodiment, processing, tables, and the like not particularly mentioned in the following description are the same as those in the first embodiment described above.

(Variation pattern determination table of the second embodiment)
The variation pattern determination table of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 (a) and 21 (b). FIG. 21A and FIG. 21B are diagrams illustrating an example of the variation pattern determination table of the second embodiment. FIG. 21A is a variation pattern determination table that is referred to when the variation display of the first special symbol is performed by entering a game ball into the first start port 13, and FIG. It is a variation pattern determination table that is referred to when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed by entering a game ball into the start port 15.

  The variation pattern determination table of the second embodiment has the same configuration as the variation pattern determination table of the first embodiment, but is different in that many variation patterns of super reach are provided.

(Variation effect pattern determination table of the second embodiment)
The variation effect pattern determination table of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of a variation effect pattern determination table that is referred to when determining the variation effect pattern of the second embodiment.

  The variation effect pattern determination table of the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the variation effect pattern of the first embodiment, but differs in that it provides an expansion effect and there are two types of super reach.

Super reach A and super reach B are provided as types of super reach. “Super reach A” is a super reach in which the teammate character C1 produces a battle with the enemy character C2.
“Super reach B” is a super reach in which the teammate character C1 and the teammate character C5 cooperate to fight the enemy character C2.
Note that, in the second embodiment, the expectation degree for winning a jackpot related to super reach is higher in super reach B than in super reach A.

The development effect is an effect that informs the development (change) to a reach with a higher expectation of jackpot than the current reach, and the types of development effects are development effects 1, development effects 2, and Development effect 3 is provided. “Development effect 1” is an effect that informs the development from normal reach to super reach A.
Further, the “development effect 2” is an effect for informing the development from the super reach A to the super reach B.
Further, the “development effect 3” is an effect for informing the development from the normal reach to the super reach A and then the development to the super reach B.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 22, in the variation effect pattern determination table, the random effect determination is performed so that the variation effect pattern in which the janken effect is executed has a higher probability of winning the big hit than the variation effect pattern in which the janken effect is not executed. Value ratio is set.

(Janken production pattern determination table of the second embodiment)
The janken effect pattern determination table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of a janken effect pattern determination table referred to when determining a janken effect pattern.

  The configuration of the janken performance pattern determination table of the second embodiment is the same as the configuration of the janken performance pattern determination table of the first embodiment, but “Aiko” is the result of the janken showdown being performed twice and the victory or defeat of the janken showdown. It differs in that it may be.

Here, “losing with goo” described in the column of the production contents of the janken production pattern determination table is an production in which the ally character goes out of the goo and loses the janken confrontation with the enemy character, and the first image is displayed. This suggests that super reach B is not executed in the device (main liquid crystal) 30.
Further, “losing with a kid” is an effect in which an ally character makes a kid and loses a junken confrontation with an enemy character, and super reach B is not executed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. Suggests that.
“Lose by par” is an effect in which the ally character puts out par and loses the junken confrontation with the enemy character, and super reach B is not executed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. Suggests that.

In addition, “Goo de Aiko” described in the column of the production contents of the janken production pattern determination table is a production that the teammate character has gooed out and is a junken confrontation with the enemy character. It is informed that it will be performed once.
Also, “Choco de Aiko” is an effect that an ally character makes a choki and becomes a prank in a janken confrontation with an enemy character, and informs that a janken confrontation will be held once again.
Also, “Par deaiko” is an effect in which a teammate character puts out a par and becomes a junken confrontation with an enemy character, and informs that another janken confrontation will be held.

In addition, “win with goo” described in the column of the effect contents of the janken effect pattern determination table is an effect in which the ally character takes a goo and wins the janken confrontation with the enemy character. The first image display device (Main liquid crystal) 30 indicates that super reach B is executed.
Further, “winning with a cheek” is an effect in which an ally character makes a choke and wins a junken confrontation with an enemy character, and super reach B is executed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. Suggests that
Also, “winning with par” is an effect in which a teammate character puts out par and wins a junken confrontation with an enemy character, and super reach B is executed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. Suggests that

  Note that “→” described in the column of effect contents in the janken effect pattern determination table indicates that janken confrontation will be performed once (second time) after the first janken confrontation is over.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, in the janken performance pattern determination table, the expectation of winning the janken confrontation when the ally character puts out a par, that is, super reach B is executed in the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30. The janken performance pattern selection rate is set so as to increase the expected degree.

(Example of production of variation production in the second embodiment)
The example of the production | presentation of the fluctuation effect of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS.
26 to 30, illustrations of effects performed in the first hold icon display area, the changing icon display area, the second hold icon display area, and the like are omitted.

  First, with reference to FIG. 24A, an effect example in the case where “change effect pattern 3” is determined in the above-described change effect pattern determination process and the janken effect is not executed will be described.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, the variation of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 is started, and the normal variation is executed until the timing T01. When the timing T01 is reached, the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ1 that have been varied until then are obtained. In TZ3, a reach state is established in which two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (left symbol and right symbol) are temporarily stopped at the same number (here, 3), and only effect symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) is present until timing T02. Fluctuating normal reach is performed.

  At timing T02, development effect 1 is executed to notify the development from normal reach to super reach A by displaying character image G10, and at time T03, super reach A in which teammate character C1 and enemy character C2 fight is performed. Is called.

At timing T04, the battle between the teammate character C1 and the enemy character C2 is settled, and a state in which the teammate character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2 is displayed.
In addition, by displaying the appearance that this ally character C1 is defeated by the enemy character C2, it is suggested to the player that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a loss.

After that, during the period from timing T04 to timing T05, the number of different symbols (4 in this case) is different from the two symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (left symbol and right symbol) where the symbol TZ2 (medium symbol) has been stopped first. By stopping, the symbol stop of the losing mode in which the numbers of the three effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 are not aligned is performed.
In addition, by the symbol stop in this loss mode, the player is informed that the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a loss.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 24B and FIGS. 26 to 27, an effect example in the case where “variable effect pattern 4” and “janken effect pattern 1” are determined in the above-described variable effect pattern determination process will be described. To do.

  In the first image display device (main liquid crystal) 30, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), the variation of the production symbols TZ1 to TZ3 is started, and the normal variation is executed until the timing T11. As shown in FIGS. 26 (b) to (c), two effect symbols TZ1 and TZ3 (left symbol and right symbol) of the effect symbols TZ1 to TZ3 that have fluctuated until then are the same numbers (here, In 3), a reach state for temporarily stopping is established, and normal reach is performed until timing T13.
