For example, when the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is operated in a predetermined operation mode (for example, single stroke operation, continuous stroke operation, long press operation, etc.), the display image of the effect display device 5 changes at a timing according to the operation. Sound effects. In addition, when the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are operated in a predetermined operation mode (for example, a single stroke operation, a continuous stroke operation, a long press operation, etc.), an image displayed on the effect display device 5 at a timing according to the operation ( For example, a volume level indicator (see FIG. 2B) or the like changes, or an adjustment sound effect is output at a volume corresponding to the level adjusted from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31 </ b> A, the push button 31 </ b> B, the volume adjustment buttons 42 </ b> A, 42 </ b> B, and the like are operation detection means that can detect the player's operation. For example, the stick controller 31A can detect the player's push-pull operation, and the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B can detect the player's press operation. Since the pachinko gaming machine 1 can detect the player's movement in this way, it is possible to perform a player-participation-type effect, and to improve the interest of the game. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can detect a player's movement, and in addition, an infrared sensor or a photo sensor that can detect a movement of the player's hand, and a touch sensor that can detect a contact movement by the player's hand. Etc. may be provided.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a predetermined effect may be executed when the motion detection means such as the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B detects the player's one motion a plurality of times continuously. For example, when the player's one pressing operation on the push button 31B is continuously performed a plurality of times, a predetermined effect may be executed on the assumption that the continuous hitting operation has been performed.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the motion detection means such as the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B continuously detects the player's 1 motion, the player's 1 motion is continuously performed. A predetermined effect may be executed. For example, when the player's 1 pressing operation on the push button 31B is continuously performed without interruption (so-called long press operation), it is assumed that the continuous hit operation has been performed (so-called auto continuous hit function). A predetermined effect may be executed.

  The predetermined performance is not particularly limited, but, for example, a gauge is displayed, and the energy accumulated in the gauge decreases as the player accumulates energy in the gauge as the player detects one action. An effect in which a character is displayed, an effect in which the character performs actions such as punching and kicking, and an aspect in which the character's form and form change (for example, the character is transformed) And the like, the character comes to wear an aura, the color of the aura worn by the character changes, etc.).

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the motion detection means continuously detects the player's 1 motion and the player performs the motion of the player 1 continuously, a predetermined effect is executed. In the middle of the production, the period (interval) for determining that the player has performed 1 operation may or may not change. For example, it is determined that a player's one-time operation has been performed at certain time intervals as a result of a player's long press operation being performed on the push button 31B and a continuous hit operation being performed (automatic continuous hit). When the predetermined effect is executed, the period for determining one operation of the player may or may not change in the middle of the predetermined effect. In the pachinko machine 1, if the period for judging one action of the player changes in the middle of a predetermined production, it is possible to make the player feel unexpected and it is easy to improve the interest of the game. It is preferable to do. Regarding the period for determining one action of a player, if the period at the start is the first period and the period after the change is the second period, the second period is not the same as the first period It may be shorter than the first period or longer than the first period. The second period is preferably shorter than the first period in terms of making the player feel a sense of expectation.

  In addition, it is determined that a player's long pressing operation is performed on the push button 31B and a continuous hitting operation is performed, and it is determined that the player's one operation is performed at regular intervals, and a predetermined effect is performed. When the motion detection means continuously detects the player's 1 motion and the player's 1 motion is continuously performed, this action is executed. The predetermined effects may include an effect in which the period for determining one action of the player changes and an effect in which the period for determining one action of the player does not change. Further, even if an effect in which a period for determining one operation of the player is changed as a predetermined effect is executed, it is up to the player to determine whether or not the player performs any action. When the player's motion is detected for the first time near the end of the effective period of the production, even if the period for determining one operation of the player is changed in the remaining effective period of the production, the player Since there is a possibility that this may not be recognized, the period for determining one action of the player may not be changed.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be changed from the first period to the second period with respect to a period for determining one operation of the player, triggered by a specific operation of the player. For example, if a specific action of the player is detected a specific number of times (for example, 5 times, 10 times, 15 times, etc.) in the first period, it may be changed from the first period to the second period. In addition, when the player's movement is detected by another movement detection means while one movement of the player is continuously detected by the movement detection means, the trigger is used as a trigger from the first period. You may make it change to a 2nd period. For example, when the push controller 31A detects the player's push-pull operation while the push button 31B detects the player's long-push operation, the push-pull operation is used as a trigger from the first period to the second period. It may be changed.

  In addition, the aspect of the predetermined effect is when the period for determining one action of the player is the first period and when the period for determining one action of the player is the second period. Although they may be different or the same, they are preferably different from the viewpoint of improving the interest of the game by making the player feel unexpected. For example, as a predetermined effect, a gauge is displayed, and an effect in which energy accumulates in the gauge or energy that accumulates in the gauge decreases in accordance with the detection of a player's single action. The rate at which energy accumulates in the gauge and the energy in the gauge decreases when the period for determining a player's single action changes from the first period to a second period different from the first period. The speed of change may change, the color of energy displayed, the form of the gauge, etc. may change. In addition, when a certain character is displayed as a predetermined effect and an effect is performed in which the character performs an action such as punching or kicking in accordance with detection of one action of the player, one action of the player When the period for determining the character changes from the first period to a second period different from the first period, even if the character mode changes, the interval at which the character performs actions such as punching, the character type, etc. Good.

  Of the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B have an operation process that does not correspond to the long press operation when the long press operation is performed. It may be done. For example, when the push button 31 </ b> B is operated for a long time, the display image of the effect display device 5 is changed or a sound effect is output in a mode when operated in a continuous hitting mode. In addition, when the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are operated for a long time, the volume levels of the speakers 8L and 8R change in the manner in which they are operated in a continuous manner. On the other hand, even if the stick controller 31A is operated for a long time, the display image of the effect display device 5 may not change or the sound effect may not be output in the mode when operated in a continuous hitting mode.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B can be produced in the same manner as when the operation unit is operated in a continuous manner when the operation unit is operated for a long time. The operation unit having an “automatic continuous hitting function” for changing the volume level may be used, and the stick controller 31A may be an operating unit having no “automatic continuous hitting function”. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are equipped with an “automatic continuous hitting function” that allows the player to recognize that the operation unit has an “automatic continuous hitting function”.

The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit, an effect control timer setting unit, an effect control counter setting unit, and an effect control buffer setting unit.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs necessary initial settings after setting the interrupt disabled. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 8 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to determine the state of detection signals input from various switches via the switch circuit 110 (S11). ). Subsequently, predetermined main-side error processing is executed (S12). Thereafter, predetermined information output processing is executed (S13). Next, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR4 by software is executed (S14). Thereafter, the special symbol process shown in FIG. 9 is executed (S15). Subsequent to the special symbol process, the normal symbol display unit 20 controls the display operation of the normal symbol display unit 20 to perform normal symbol variation display, normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B tilting motion setting operation, etc. It is executed (S16). Thereafter, a command control process is executed to transmit (output) a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 (S17).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol process. In this special symbol process, first, a start winning determination process is executed (S21). Then, according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit, one of the processes of S22 to S29 is selected and executed.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there is a first start prize or a second start prize by the first start port switch 22A or the second start port switch 22B, and if there is a win, a random value MR1, MR2 and MR3 are extracted and stored at the top of the empty entry in the special figure reservation storage unit. In the special symbol normal process of S22, it is determined whether or not to start the special symbol game based on the presence / absence of pending data. Further, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1, whether or not the variation display result is “big hit” is determined (predetermined) before the variation display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, a confirmed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a missing symbol) is set corresponding to the variation display result. In the special symbol normal process, if the number of reserved games stored in the special symbol game using the first special symbol is “0”, the special symbol normal process is terminated after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demonstration designation command) for designating demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the effect display device 5 is produced from the main board 11. It is determined whether or not transmission to the control board 12 has been completed. At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration designation command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if it has not been transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is terminated.

  The variation pattern setting process of S23 is a process of determining a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random value MR3 based on a result of prior determination as to whether or not the variation display result is “big hit”. Etc. The special symbol change process of S24 is a process for setting the special symbol to be changed in the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, or a process after the special symbol starts changing. Includes processing to measure time. The special symbol stop process of S25 is a process for performing a setting for stopping and displaying (deriving) a fixed special symbol that is a variable symbol display result on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. including. The pre-opening process of S26 is based on the fact that the variable display result is “big hit”, etc., etc., and the processing for starting the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and setting the winning prize opening to the open state, etc. including. The big hit opening process of S27 includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state. The processing after the big hit release in S28 includes a process of determining whether or not the number of executions of the round in which the big prize opening is in the open state has reached the maximum number of big winning opening release times. The jackpot end process of S29 includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect for notifying the end of the jackpot gaming state is executed.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process shown in FIG. 11 when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S51). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When a timer interrupt occurs, the timer interrupt flag is set by timer interrupt processing. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the flag is cleared (S53), and the following process is executed.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing for analyzing which command (see FIG. 4) is the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer (S54). Next, an effect control process is performed (S55). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an effect random number update process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the effect random numbers such as the jackpot symbol determination random number is executed (S56). Next, a volume adjustment process is performed when the player operates the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B in the demonstration performance period and the big hit gaming state (S57). In the volume adjustment process, control is performed to set the volume of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R by operating the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) of the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first displays the hold memory display in the first hold memory display area 5D and the second hold memory display area 5U of the effect display device 5 in accordance with the stored contents of the hold memory buffer. A pending display update process for updating to display is executed (S72). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of S73 to S79 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  In the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73), it is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received from the gaming control microcomputer 100. In the effect symbol variation start process (S74), control is performed so that the variation of the effect symbol is started. In addition, the presence / absence of execution of the notice effect is executed, and if it is executed, processing for determining the effect pattern is executed. In the effect symbol variation processing (S75), the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern is controlled, and the end of the variation time is monitored. Further, when execution of the notice effect is determined in the effect symbol variation start process of S74, the notice effect is executed at an appropriate timing. In the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S76), based on the reception of the effect control command (symbol confirmation command) for instructing all symbols to stop, the control of the effect symbol change is stopped and the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. I do. In the big hit display process (S77), after the end of the fluctuation time, a control for displaying a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of the big hit is performed. In the big hit game processing (S78), control during the big hit game is performed. In the big hit end effect process (S79), the effect display device 5 performs display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B according to the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as described above. Processing for enabling or disabling the “function” may be performed. Specifically, during the period in which the symbol display is changed and the period from when the change display is stopped until the demonstration effect is started (for example, ta1 to ta2), the automatic repeat function of the push button 31B is enabled. While the automatic adjustment function of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B and the stick controller 31A is disabled, the automatic adjustment function of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is enabled during the demonstration performance period and the big hit game period (for example, ta2 to ta3). The automatic continuous hitting function of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A may be invalidated.

  In other words, in the notice effect that is performed during the execution of the symbol variation display, only the push button 31B is enabled for the automatic continuous hitting function, and during the symbol variation display such as the demonstration performance period and the jackpot game period, Only the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B may enable the automatic continuous hitting function. Further, regarding the stick controller 31A, the automatic continuous hitting function may be always disabled regardless of the symbol variation display.

  As described above, one of the operation units (for example, the stick controller 31A) of the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B does not have the automatic continuous hitting function (the automatic continuous hitting function is installed). No). In addition, if the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, which are the two operation units for which the automatic continuous hitting function is enabled, are set so that the automatic continuous hitting function is not enabled at the same time, the automatic continuous hitting that is not intended by the player will occur. The occurrence of inconvenience due to being executed can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the automatic push of the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is performed depending on whether the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a symbol variation display, a demonstration effect is being executed, or a big hit gaming state. The function is switched between enabled and disabled. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other than the above, for example, depending on the performance state such as the execution of the reach performance or the execution of the pseudo continuous extension. You may make it switch, and you may make it switch according to game states, such as a probability change state, a non-probability change state, a high base state, and a low base state.

  Next, an operation process performed by the effect control CPU 120 when the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is operated will be described. The effect control CPU 120 receives a detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A of the stick controller 31A or the push sensor 35B of the push button 31B in the operation valid period in which the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is effective. The effect is executed as an operation process corresponding to the operation.

  For example, when the stick controller 31A is operated once (single stroke operation), an effect of changing an image (such as an effect image) displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed at a timing corresponding to the operation. Further, when the stick controller 31A is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous hitting operation), an effect of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed at a timing corresponding to each operation. In addition, when the stick controller 31A is pressed (long press) for a predetermined period, an effect of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed over the period of the pressing operation.

  When the push button 31B is operated once (single stroke operation), an effect of changing an image (for example, an effect image) displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed at a timing corresponding to the operation. Further, when the push button 31B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous hitting operation), an effect of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed at a timing corresponding to each operation. Further, when the push button 31B is pressed for a predetermined period (long press operation), an effect of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed over the period of the pressing operation.

  Further, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the repeated hitting operation promotion effect that prompts the repeated hitting operation in the notice announcement effect executed during the automatic repeated hitting effective period described above, the push button 31B is in the long press determination period (for example, about 1 second). When a push operation (long press operation) is performed over a wide range, an effect of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed in the same manner as when the push button 31B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous operation). . That is, as a non-corresponding operation process that does not correspond to the operation mode (for example, long press operation) in which the push button 31B is actually operated, the same as when the push button 31B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous hit operation). An effect of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an operation process performed by the effect control CPU 120 when the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are operated will be described. The effect control CPU 120 executes an operation process corresponding to the operation based on the reception of the detection signal from the button switch unit 43 in the operation effective period in which the operation of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is effective.

  For example, when one of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is operated once (single stroke operation), an image (for example, a volume level indicator (FIG. 2 (FIG. 2) shown in FIG. 2) is displayed at a timing corresponding to the operation. B) and the like may be changed, or an operation process of outputting a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R at a volume corresponding to the level may be executed. Further, when any one of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous hitting operation), an image displayed on the effect display device 5 is changed at a timing corresponding to each operation, or a speaker An operation process of outputting a predetermined sound at a volume corresponding to the level from 8L and 8R may be executed.

  In addition, during the demonstration effect or the big hit effect executed during the automatic continuous hitting effective period, the effect control CPU 120 presses any one of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B for a long press determination period (for example, about 1 second) ( When a long press operation is performed, the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is changed in the same manner as when one of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous operation), An operation process of continuously outputting a predetermined sound at a volume corresponding to the level from the speakers 8L and 8R may be executed. That is, as a non-corresponding operation process that does not correspond to an operation mode (for example, a long press operation) in which any of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is actually operated, any of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is continuously plural times. The operation process of changing the image displayed on the effect display device 5 in the same manner as when the operation (continuous hitting operation) is performed, or outputting a predetermined sound continuously at a volume corresponding to the level from the speakers 8L and 8R. (Automatic hitting function) may be executed.

  Here, the automatic continuous hitting function is described. The automatic continuous hitting function means that when the push button 31B or the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B in which the automatic continuous hitting function is valid is operated for a long time, the effect control CPU 120 performs the push button 31B or volume adjustment. The function is to execute the same effect as when the buttons 42A and 42B are repeatedly hit.

  When the notice control effect is executed during the period when the effect control CPU 120 enables the automatic repeat function of the push button 31B (for example, the period during which the symbol variation display is executed), the automatic repeat effect of the push button 31B is executed. An example of the production mode will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 is a timing chart showing an example of an effect mode of auto-striking effects. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing an automatic repeated hit determination table. 15 (A) and 15 (B) are explanatory diagrams showing repeated hitting operation promotion effects, and (C), (D), and (E) are automatic repeated hit effects.

  As illustrated in FIG. 13, the effect control CPU 120 performs a repetitive hitting operation promoting effect (for example, as illustrated in FIG. 15A) that promotes a repetitive hitting operation of the push button 31 </ b> B at a predetermined timing in the notice effect. The image of the character A and the push button 31B is displayed on the screen, and a character such as “display the character“ Hit the punch to the enemy character by hitting the button repeatedly! ”Is started (tb1). Next, the operation of the push button 31B is validated for a predetermined period from the time (tb2) when the predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the continuous hitting operation promotion effect, and the player is notified of the start of the operation effective period in a recognizable manner (for example, As shown in FIG. 15 (B), the push button 31B and an indicator image indicating the operation valid period are displayed on the effect display device 5 and the characters “start!” Are displayed.

  When the push sensor 35B is turned on during the operation valid period (tb2 to tb5) in which the operation of the push button 31B is effective and the long press operation of the push button 31B is detected, the effect control CPU 120 displays the effect display device 5. The automatic repeated striking effect is displayed in which an image of the character A being displayed in the punch is displayed (see FIGS. 15C and 15D). On the other hand, although not particularly illustrated, when a single stroke operation of the push button 31B or a continuous stroke operation in which the single stroke operation is repeated is performed, a continuous stroke effect that displays only a punch image is executed every time the push sensor 35B is turned on ( FIG. 17C).

  Here, when it is determined that the push sensor 35B is on for a long press determination period (tb3 to tb4, for example, 1 second), that is, the push button 31B is operated to be pressed for 1 second, which is the long press determination period. In this case, the effect control CPU 120 displays the character A displayed on the effect display device 5 every first period (for example, L1 = about 0.8 seconds), as in the case where the push button 31B is operated repeatedly. A first auto-striking effect for displaying an image for punching is displayed (see FIG. 15C). This first automatic repeated striking effect is continuously executed while the push sensor 35B is on during the operation effective period.

  When the push sensor 35B changes to the OFF state after the long press determination period of 1 second elapses after the push sensor 35B changes to the ON state, the effect control CPU 120 operates the push button 31B with a single stroke. As an example, an effect of displaying an image in which the character A displayed on the effect display device 5 is punched is executed, and the first automatic repeated effect is not executed (see FIG. 16A). In addition, when it is determined that the push sensor 35B has changed to the off state after executing the first automatic repeated striking effect within the operation effective period, and has changed to the on state again, and has continued for a long press determination period (for example, 1 second). Then, the first auto-striking effect is executed.

  As described above, when the repeated hitting operation promotion effect is executed, and when the push sensor 35B is repeatedly hit, a repeated hitting effect is displayed on the effect display device 5 at a timing corresponding to each operation. When the push sensor 35B is operated for a long time, a first automatic repeated effect is displayed in which an image in which the character A is punched is displayed on the effect display device 5 for each first period.

  In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 displays an image in which the character A punches out on the effect display device 5 for each first period (for example, L1 = about 0.8 seconds) as an automatic repeated striking effect. One auto-spanning effect and a second auto-striking effect in which an image in which the character A punches out are displayed on the effect display device 5 every second period (for example, L2 = about 0.5 seconds) can be executed (FIG. 15 (D)). That is, the speed of continuous hitting executed as the automatic continuous hitting effect (interval for displaying the image of punching out) is different between the first automatic continuous hitting effect and the second automatic continuous hitting effect.

  When the effect control CPU 120 decides to execute the repeated hit effect in the notice effect, the first automatic repeat effect and the second automatic hit effect are determined based on the type of the change pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 at the start of the change. Which one of the auto-striking effects is executed and the number of punch hits are determined. Furthermore, when the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the repeated hit effect in the notice effect, although not shown in FIG. 15, the first auto repeat effect (FIG. 15C) is changed to the second auto effect during the effect. It may be determined whether or not to switch to the continuous hit effect (FIG. 15D).

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the variation pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is a big hit variation pattern designation command, the production control CPU 120 determines to execute the first auto-strike production at a rate of 20%. Then, the execution of the second auto-strike effect may be determined at a rate of 80%. When the variation pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is a super-reaching variation pattern designation command, execution of the first automatic repeated strike effect is determined at a rate of 70%, and second automatic repeated strike at a rate of 30%. Execution of the production may be determined. When the variation pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is a normal reach deviation variation pattern designation command, the execution of the first automatic repeated strike effect is determined at a rate of 80%, and the second automatic repeated strike effect at a rate of 20%. May be determined to execute. Further, the execution of the second auto-striking effect may include a case where the first auto-striking effect is first executed and then switched in the middle of a series of effects to perform the second auto-striking effect.

  As described above, when the variation pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is a big hit variation pattern designation command, the effect control CPU 120 performs the second auto at a higher rate than when it receives the outlier variation pattern designation command. The execution of the repeated hitting effect is determined, and the determined automatic repeated hitting effect is executed. Therefore, the possibility of a big hit can be suggested by the mode of the auto-striking effect. In particular, when the execution of the second auto-striking effect is determined, the first auto-striking effect is first executed, and the program is switched in the middle of a series of effects, and the second auto-striking effect is executed. You can talk more and improve the fun of the game.

  In addition, when the variable display result becomes the big hit display result, the second automatic continuous hit effect is determined at a higher rate than the case where the fluctuation display result becomes the missed display result. Expectation can be improved. Further, even if the variable display result is a disappointing display result, the second automatic repeated striking effect is executed in order to determine the second automatic repeated striking effect at a higher rate in the case of super reach than in the case of normal reach. It is possible to improve the player's expectation for development to super reach. In addition, even when the variable display result is the big hit display result, the first auto-hit effect may be determined, so that the expectation for the big hit can be maintained even when the first auto-hit effect is executed. When the variable display result is the jackpot display result, the second auto-spanning effect is executed at a rate of 100%, and when the display result is the off-line display result, the first auto-striking effect is executed at a rate of 100%. Also good.

  Moreover, in the automatic repeated hitting effect, when the fluctuation display result becomes the jackpot display result, the punch that the character A has fed out at a higher rate hits the enemy character (not shown) than in the case of the loss display result. At the end of the auto-strike effect, the number of hits hit by an enemy character (not shown) among the punches that have been paid out is displayed, and the degree of expectation for the big hit is suggested according to the number of hits (see FIG. 15E).

  Next, an example of an effect mode in the case where the push button 31B is operated repeatedly will be described based on FIG. 16 and FIG. FIGS. 16A and 16B are timing charts showing an example of an effect mode of repeated hitting, and FIG. 17 (A) and 17 (B) are explanatory diagrams showing repeated hitting operation promotion effects, and (C), (D) and (E) are repeated hitting effects.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (A), the effect control CPU 120 produces a repetitive hitting operation promoting effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 17 (A)) that promotes the repetitive operation of the push button 31B at a predetermined timing in the notice effect. The image of the character A and the push button 31B is displayed on the display device 5, and a character such as “let the button hit repeatedly and let the enemy character hit the punch!” Is started (tc1). Next, the operation of the push button 31B is validated for a predetermined period from the time (tc2) when the predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the continuous hitting operation promotion effect, and the start of the operation effective period is recognizable to the player (for example, As shown in FIG. 17 (B), the push button 31B and an indicator image indicating the operation valid period are displayed on the effect display device 5 and the characters “start!” Are displayed.

  When the push sensor 35B is turned on during the operation valid period (tc2 to tc5) in which the operation of the push button 31B is effective and the operation of the push button 31B is detected, the effect control CPU 120 punches the effect display device 5 to punch. Only the image (without character A) is displayed (see FIG. 17C). That is, when the push button 31B is not operated for a long time and a single stroke operation or a continuous stroke operation in which the single stroke operation is repeated is performed, an effect of displaying a punch image every time the push sensor 35B is turned on is performed. Then, at the end of the continuous hit effect, the same character A as the character A that appears at the end of the automatic hit effect appears. In addition, the number of hits hit by enemy characters (not shown) among the punches that have been paid out is displayed, and the degree of expectation of jackpot is suggested according to the number of hits (see FIG. 17D).

  Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the operation effective period (tc2 to tc7), the push sensor 35B is a second period (interval for displaying an image of punching out in the second automatic repeated effect. For example, if the state that changes to the ON state every third period (for example, L3 = less than about 0.5 seconds) shorter than L2 = about 0.5 seconds) continues for a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), Assuming that high-speed ten consecutive hits have been achieved, control CPU 120 causes character B that differs from character A that appears when high-speed ten consecutive hits have not been achieved at the end of the continuous hit effect. Thus, since the effect according to the speed of the player's continuous hitting operation is executed, the gaming interest can be improved.

  In addition, when the push button 31B is operated for a long time in the repetitive strike effect, the effect control CPU 120 executes an automatic repetitive replay effect that displays an image of the character punching on the effect display device 5, and the push button 31B is displayed in the repetitive strike effect. When repeated hitting operations are performed, a hitting effect may be executed in which only the image for punching is displayed without displaying the character on the effect display device 5. In this way, by displaying different images for the auto-striking effect and the continuous-striking effect, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, when the push button 31B is operated for a long time in the continuous hitting effect, the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed at a rate of 100%, and when the push button 31B is operated for the repeated hitting effect, the rate is 100%. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the push button 31B is operated for a long time in the repeated hitting effect, the automatic repeated hitting is performed at a different rate from the case where the repeated hitting operation is performed. It is only necessary to execute an effect. For example, when the push button 31B is operated for a long time, an effect of repeated hitting is executed, or when the push button 31B is operated for repeated hitting, an automatic repeated effect is executed. May be.

  Further, in this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 exemplifies the form in which the character B appears at the end of the continuous hit effect when it is determined that the high-speed ten consecutive hits are achieved when the continuous hit effect is executed. It is not limited, and character B may appear when it is determined that high-speed ten consecutive hits have been achieved.

  Moreover, although the form which performs the effect which makes the character B appear as an effect corresponding to this repeated striking operation when the repeated striking operation is performed at a speed higher than the speed of repeated striking performed in the second automatic repeated striking effect, the present invention However, the present invention is not limited to this. Character B may appear as an effect corresponding to the continuous hitting operation when the continuous hitting operation is performed at a speed faster than the speed of the continuous hitting executed in the first automatic repeated hitting effect. A character C different from A and character B may be displayed. Moreover, it is not limited to the effect which displays a character.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the push sensor 35B has a third period (for example, shorter than a second period (for example, L2 = about 0.5 seconds)) which is an interval for displaying an image of punching out with the second automatic repeated striking effect. , L3 = less than about 0.5 seconds), the state in which the character B appears when the state that changes to the ON state every predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The determination as to whether or not the continuous hitting operation is performed at a speed faster than the speed of the continuous hitting performed in the second automatic repeated striking effect may be made based on, for example, an average speed during the continuous hitting operation period, The determination may be made based on the continuous hitting speed in a specific period during the period, and various changes can be made.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 exemplifies a form in which an automatic repeated strike effect is executed when the push button 31B is operated for a long time after the repeated strike operation promoting effect is performed. After the production, the auto button is pressed when the push button 31B is operated for a predetermined number of times (for example, three times) until the predetermined determination period (for example, about 2 seconds) elapses after the operation effective period is started. You may make it perform a continuous striking effect. In this case, when the single operation of the push button 31B is performed three times that is the predetermined number of times within 2 seconds that is the predetermined determination period, an interval for displaying an image in which punching is performed with the second automatic continuous striking effect. When a single stroke operation is performed every third period (for example, L3 = less than approximately 0.5 seconds) shorter than the second period (for example, L2 = approximately 0.5 seconds), that is, when a continuous stroke operation is performed at high speed Instead of executing the automatic repeated hitting effect, the repeated hitting effect according to the speed of the player's repeated hitting operation may be executed.

  Next, in the case of executing the continuous hitting effect of the push button 31B, for the effect control when the push button 31B having the automatic continuous hitting function is operated for a long time and at the same time the stick controller 31A not having the automatic continuous hitting function is operated. The processing content performed by the CPU 120 will be described. FIG. 18 is a timing chart showing an example of processing contents when the push button and the stick controller are operated simultaneously.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the effect control CPU 120 starts a tapping operation promotion effect that promotes tapping operation of the push button 31 </ b> B at a predetermined timing in the notice effect (td <b> 1). The operation of the push button 31B is validated for a predetermined period. During this operation valid period, the push sensor 35B and the controller sensor unit 35A receive the detection signal of the push sensor 35B almost simultaneously or immediately after receiving the detection signal of the controller sensor unit 35A, and the detection signal of the push sensor 35B. When receiving continuously in the long press determination period, the operation of the stick controller 31A is invalidated.

  That is, the process based on the reception of the detection signal of the push sensor 35B is performed without executing the process based on the reception of the detection signal of the controller sensor unit 35A. Therefore, when the long press determination period has passed while the push sensor 35B is in the ON state, the automatic continuous striking effect is executed. By doing in this way, even if the player mistakenly operates not only the push button 31B but also the stick controller 31A, the automatic continuous striking effect is executed, and the convenience of the player can be improved.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, the CPU 120 for effect control, for example, when the stick controller 31A is continuously operated (multiple hitting operations) a plurality of times. If a sticking effect that changes the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed at a timing corresponding to the operation, and the stick controller 31A is pressed for a predetermined period (long pressing), the period during which the pressing is performed A long press effect that changes the image displayed on the effect display device 5 is executed. Further, when the push button 31B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous hitting operation), the push button 31B executes the hitting effect that changes the image displayed on the effect display device 5 at a timing corresponding to each operation. When 31B is pressed for a predetermined period (long press operation), the effect control CPU 120 displays on the effect display device 5 in the same manner as when the push button 31B is continuously operated a plurality of times (continuous operation). Auto repetitive effects that change the image being played are executed.

  As described above, among the operation units including the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, the stick controller 31A in which only the continuous hit effect and the long press effect corresponding to the operation are executed is included. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of inconvenience due to execution of an unintended auto-striking effect or the like.

  In addition, it is possible to deal with a player who is not good at continuous hitting operations by executing the automatic hitting effect as non-corresponding operation processing not corresponding to the operation of the operation unit.

  Furthermore, when the automatic repeated striking effect is executed, it is possible to change the execution speed of the continuous hitting operation process during the staging, and if the image displayed on the staging display device 5 is changed in accordance with this change, It can give unexpectedness to people and improve their interest.

  Further, variable display is performed, and when a predetermined specific display result (for example, a big hit display result) is derived and displayed as a display result, it can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit game state) advantageous to the player. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variation pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is a big hit variation pattern designation command, the effect control CPU 120 has a higher rate than the case where the deviation variation pattern designation command is received. 2 The execution of the auto-spanning effect is determined, and the determined auto-striking effect is executed. In the first auto-striking effect, an image in which the character A is punched is displayed every first period (for example, L1 = about 0.8 seconds). Are displayed on the effect display device 5, and in the second auto-striking effect, the image in which the character A punches out is displayed in the second period. (E.g., L2 = about 0.5 seconds) displayed in the effect display device 5 each. By doing in this way, since it will be suggested whether it is easy to be in a big hit state by the speed of continuous hitting, a game entertainment interest can be improved. Furthermore, if the first auto-spanning effect is executed first and then the second auto-striking effect is executed, the expectation of the jackpot can be further increased and the game entertainment can be improved.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 has a second period (for example, L2 = about 0. 2), which is an interval in which the push sensor 35B displays an image of punching out in the second automatic repeated striking effect during the operation effective period (tc2 to tc7). When the state that changes to the ON state every third period (for example, L3 = less than about 0.5 seconds) shorter than 5 seconds) continues for a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), the effect control CPU 120 performs high-speed 10 Assuming that continuous hitting has been achieved, a character B different from the character A that appears when high-speed ten consecutive hits are not achieved may end at the end of the continuous hitting effect. By doing in this way, the effect according to the speed of the player's continuous hitting operation is executed, so that the gaming interest can be improved.

  Further, regarding the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A, 42B, the display unit 200A, on which characters “automatic continuous hitting function installed” that allows the player to recognize that the operation unit has the “automatic continuous hitting function” are displayed. Since 200B is provided in the vicinity of each operation unit, the player can recognize which of the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B has the automatic continuous hitting function. Therefore, the occurrence of inconvenience due to misidentification can be further prevented.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 automatically pushes the push button 31B during the period in which the symbol display is changed and the period from when the change display is stopped until the demonstration effect is started (for example, ta1 to ta2). While the function is enabled and the automatic hitting function of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B and the stick controller 31A is disabled, the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are automatically activated during the demonstration performance period and the big hit game period (for example, ta2 to ta3). Since the continuous hitting function can be enabled and the automatic continuous hitting function of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A can be disabled, the situation in which the automatic continuous hitting effect and operation processing not corresponding to the long press operation mode is executed according to the gaming state. Can be changed.

  In addition, when the push button 31B is operated for a long time in the repetitive strike effect, the effect control CPU 120 executes an automatic repetitive replay effect that displays an image in which the character punches on the effect display device 5, and the push button 31B is displayed in the repetitive strike effect. When repeated hitting operations are performed, it is possible to execute a repeated hitting effect in which only an image for punching is displayed without displaying a character on the effect display device 5, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

  Further, the production control CPU 120 receives the detection signal of the push sensor 35B in the operation effective period, almost immediately after the push sensor 35B and the controller sensor unit 35A receive the detection signal of the controller sensor unit 35A, and When the detection signal of the push sensor 35B is continuously received in the long press determination period, the operation of the stick controller 31A can be invalidated, so that even if the player accidentally operates not only the push sensor 35B but also the stick controller 31A, An automatic repeated hitting effect is executed, and the convenience of the player can be improved.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  Next, the modification of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG. FIG. 19 shows, as a modified example of the present invention, (A) a state in which the variable display is stopped, (B) a state in which the demonstration effect is started, (C) a state in which the menu display is selected in the demonstration effect, (D) is explanatory drawing which shows the display screen of the state in which the automatic repeated hit function description was selected on the menu display screen.

  In the above-described embodiment, the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are displayed with the characters “automatic continuous hitting function installed” on which the player can recognize that the operation unit has the “automatic continuous hitting function”. By providing 200A and 200B in the vicinity of each operation unit, the player can recognize which of the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B has the automatic continuous hitting function. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect display device 5 indicates that the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are operation units having an automatic continuous hitting function. May be displayed in a recognizable manner.

  For example, after the symbol variation display is stopped (see FIG. 19A), the menu display is selected during the execution of the demonstration screen display (see FIG. 19B) (see FIG. 19C), and the menu display is displayed. When the automatic repeated hit function description is selected (see FIG. 19D), the automatic repeat hit function corresponding to the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set for the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B. You may make it display the table image which shows an effective period. Further, instead of the display portions 200A, 200B, etc., a sticker or the like printed with the table shown in FIG.

  Further, not only whether the automatic continuous hitting function is valid or invalid, but also the detailed contents of the automatic continuous hitting effect such as the continuous hitting speed, the continuous hitting period, and the number of consecutive hits in the automatic continuous hitting effect may be displayed in a recognizable manner.

  Further, in the screen shown in FIG. 19D, when the continuous hit effect is executed during the effective period of the automatic continuous hit function, even if the push button 31B is not operated, the automatic continuous hit effect is displayed when the effective operation period starts. You may enable it to enable / disable the "automatic automatic continuous hitting function" performed automatically.

  Therefore, in the screen shown in FIG. 19D, when the “automatic automatic hitting function” is enabled, when the continuous hitting effect is executed during the effective period of the automatic continuous hitting function, even if the push button 31B is not operated, Since the automatic repeated striking effect is automatically executed when the operation valid period starts, the convenience of the player can be improved.

  Further, in this modified example, when the automatic automatic continuous hitting function is enabled, it is assumed that a predetermined automatic processing condition is satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the single stroke effect is automatically executed without performing the single stroke operation when the operation effective period is started in the single stroke effect. Alternatively, it may be possible to set whether to enable or disable the automatic operation function for automatically executing the long press effect without performing the long press operation when the operation effective period is started in the long press effect. Further, the predetermined automatic processing condition may be satisfied not only by enabling the automatic automatic continuous hitting function to be valid, but also by, for example, a game time, a variable display count, a big hit count, and a mobile link.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which applied stick controller 31A, push button 31B, and volume adjustment button 42A, 42B as a some operation part was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, Other than these An operation unit (for example, a jog dial operation unit, a cross key operation unit, a lever operation unit, etc.) may be applied. The stick controller 31A is tilted forward, backward, left and right, the push button 31B is pressed downward, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are operation parts that are pressed backward. The direction may be arbitrary, and may be an operation such as pulling or turning other than tilting and pressing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B are exemplified by the form in which only the stick controller 31A does not have the automatic continuous hitting function. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B may be an operation unit that does not have an automatic continuous hitting function.

  In the above-described embodiment, only the stick controller 31A, which is one of the three operation units of the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, is an operation unit that does not have the automatic continuous hitting function. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and has at least two or more operation units, and the first operation unit is operated in the first operation mode or the second operation mode is different from the first operation mode. When there is an operation in the operation mode, a corresponding operation process corresponding to each operation mode is executed. When there is an operation in the third operation mode in the second operation unit, the operation corresponding to the third operation mode is performed. While the corresponding operation process is executed, when there is an operation in the fourth operation mode that is different from the third operation mode, the non-corresponding operation process that does not correspond to the fourth operation mode is executed. As long as it, the first operation unit and second operation unit the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B and the volume adjustment button 42A, may be any of 42B.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the 1st operation mode and the 3rd operation mode are the same operation modes (for example, continuous operation), and the 2nd operation mode and the 4th operation mode are the same operation modes (for example, long Push operation). In addition, the first operation mode and the fourth operation mode are the same operation mode (for example, long press operation), and the second operation mode and the third operation mode are the same operation mode (for example, continuous hit operation). May be.

  Further, in this embodiment, the stick controller 31A is exemplified as a mode in which the automatic continuous hitting function is always disabled regardless of the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming In the case where the machine 1 has only the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, the automatic repeat function of the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B is switched between the valid and invalid, and at least both However, it is only necessary to prevent the automatic continuous hitting function from being enabled.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which applied the single hit operation, the continuous hit operation, and the long press operation was illustrated as an example of an operation mode, this invention is not limited to this, Operation modes other than the above (for example, You may apply twice pushing, turning operation, etc.).

  In the above-described embodiment, in the operation valid period in which the operation of the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B is effective, the effect control CPU 120 performs an operation process corresponding to the operation based on the operation of the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B. Although the form which changes the image displayed on the effect display apparatus 5 was illustrated as an effect to perform, this invention is not limited to this, For example, in addition to the above, for example, a sound effect etc. from the speakers 8L and 8R. It includes effects such as outputting, operating a movable body (not shown) that is operably provided, and causing a light emitting diode (LED) to emit light. Further, the operation processing according to the operation control CPU 120 in response to the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B includes processes other than the above-described effects such as adjustment processing of volume, light amount, emission color, and the like.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the automatic continuous hitting effect is executed by performing a long press operation different from the continuous hitting operation at the time of executing the continuous hitting effect is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, The auto-spanning effect may be executed by performing an operation other than the long press operation (for example, a predetermined number of single-stroke operations) at the time of executing the continuous hitting effect. In addition, the auto long press effect may be executed by performing an operation other than the long press operation (for example, a predetermined number of single-stroke operations) at the time of executing the long press effect.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the operation mode necessary for executing the automatic repeated hitting effect is set as the long press operation is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the automatic repeated hitting effect is provided. An operation mode necessary for executing the game may be set by either a player or a salesperson such as a game shop clerk. When the player can set the operation, the operation according to the preference can be realized. On the other hand, when the salesperson such as a game shop clerk can set the operation, the operation mode is adjusted in consideration of the usage frequency of the automatic continuous hitting function. In this way, asset value can be maintained.

  Furthermore, the player may be able to set according to specific conditions (for example, the game time, the number of times of variable display, the number of jackpots, the mobile link, etc.). Since the automatic continuous hitting function to be reduced becomes effective when a specific condition is satisfied, the game can be promoted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the operation unit equipped with the automatic continuous hitting function is determined in advance to the push button 31B and the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the player or game Any one of the salespersons such as shop assistants may be set.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the execution period of the automatic continuous striking effect is within the preset operation effective period, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a player plays a game. In an effect executed in this way, when a value greater than a predetermined value (for example, an effect point or the like) is acquired, an execution period or the number of executable times of an automatic repeated hit effect may be given. In this way, as the game time increases, the period and the number of times that the player can use the automatic continuous hitting function increase, so that the game can be promoted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined number of gaming balls are inside the gaming machine. The number of loaned balls that are enclosed in a circulating manner and lent in response to a loan request by a player and the number of prize balls that are awarded in response to winnings are added, while the number of game balls used in the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to so-called enclosed game machines that are stored in the memory. In these enclosed game machines, not the game ball but points and points are given to the player, so these points and points assigned correspond to the game value.

  In the embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is applied as an example of a gaming machine. However, for example, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a gaming value. At the same time, one game is completed by deriving a variation display result to a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified, and a prize is awarded according to the variation display result derived to the variation display device. This can also be applied to a slot machine that can generate
