Can do.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a jackpot lottery probability variation state as a gaming state advantageous to the player. The game state in which the probability of winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery is higher than the gaming state (low probability state) that is not in the probability change state of the jackpot lottery. It is. In this embodiment, the probability variation state of the big hit lottery is given until a predetermined probability variation end condition is satisfied. In the following explanation, when the term “probability variation state” or “probability variation state” is simply indicated, it means the probability variation state of the jackpot lottery, and “non-probability variation state” or “non-probability variation state” is abbreviated. "Indicates a gaming state that is not the probability variation state of the big hit lottery.

  The pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment has a high base state as a gaming state advantageous to the player. The high base state is a game state in which a game ball is likely to enter the second start winning opening 22a as compared to a low base state that is not a high base state. The high base state is a so-called “electric support state”.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or by executing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is control for shortening the fluctuation time of the usual game, which makes the fluctuation time of the usual game shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is the probability variation control of the normal lottery in which the probability of winning the normal lottery (ordinary hit probability) is varied with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the opening / closing member 22b based on the fact that the normal winning lottery is won is longer than that in the low base state. As the opening time extension control, the number of times the opening / closing member 22b is opened based on the fact that the lottery is won in the normal winning lottery is larger than that in the low base state, and the opening / closing member 22b is based on the fact that the lottery is won in the normal winning lottery. It is preferable to execute at least one of the controls for making the one opening time longer than that in the low base state. In the present embodiment, the fourth control is executed in the high base state. The fourth control is control for shortening the variation time of the variation game that makes the variation time (for example, average variation time) of the variation game easier to be shorter than in the low base state. When the fluctuation time reduction control of the fluctuation game is executed, the high base state is a so-called “fluctuation time reduction state”. In the present embodiment, the high base state is provided until a predetermined high base end condition is satisfied. Note that the high base state may be given even during the probability variation state. That is, the probability variation state and the high base state are game states that can be given in an overlapping manner.

  In the present embodiment, the first start winning opening 21 is provided below the second effect display device 17, and the lower the first flow path X on the left side of the game board YB, the lower the right side of the game board YB. It is easier for a game ball to enter than to flow down the two flow paths Y. For this reason, in a low base state where it is difficult for a game ball to enter the second start winning port 22a, the game ball is caused to flow down the first flow path X so that the game ball can enter the first start winning port 21. There is a tendency to fire.

  On the other hand, on the right side of the first effect display device 16, the operation gate 25, the second start winning port 22a, and the big winning port 23a are provided in order from the upper side, and the second flow path Y is made to flow down. Rather than letting down the first flow path X, it becomes easier for a game ball to enter the operation gate 25, the second start winning opening 22a, and the big winning opening 23a. For this reason, in a high base state where a game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening 22a, the game ball is caused to flow down the second flow path Y in order to allow the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 22a. There is a tendency to fire. Even in the big hit game, there is a tendency to launch the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path Y in order to make the game ball enter the big winning opening 23a.

Next, the jackpot game in this embodiment will be described.
The jackpot game is started after the end of the variable game in which the jackpot symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state. When the big hit game starts, the opening time starts. When the opening time ends, a round game in which the special winning opening 23a is opened is performed a plurality of times, with a predetermined number of rounds as an upper limit. One round game is continuously performed until the upper limit number of game balls enter the big winning opening 23a or until a predetermined time elapses. When all round games are finished, the ending time is set. When the ending time ends, the jackpot game ends.

First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination that determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 21 based on whether or not a detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input. To do.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when a game ball enters the first start winning opening 21), the main control CPU 30a has an upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). The first reserved memory number determination is performed to determine whether or not it is smaller than ().

  When the determination result of the first hold memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold control process. In the first hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 13 so as to display the updated first hold memory number. The main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the updated first hold memory number to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a). The main control CPU 30a acquires various random numbers related to the first variation game and stores them in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. In addition, the values of various random numbers related to the first variation game are stored so that the acquisition order acquired according to the game balls entering the first start winning opening 21 can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit number, when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 21, the start condition for the first variable game is satisfied. .

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the game ball has not entered the first start winning opening 21), or when the determination result of the first hold memory number determination is negative (first The main control CPU 30a does not execute the first hold control process when the upper limit number of the hold storage number has been reached.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 22a based on whether or not a detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 has been input. Make a decision.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 22a), the main control CPU 30a has the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment) for the second hold memory number. The second reserved memory number determination is performed to determine whether or not it is smaller than.

  When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number is not reached), the main control CPU 30a executes a second hold control process. In the second hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the second hold display device 14 so as to display the updated second hold memory number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs a hold designation command for designating the updated second hold memory number to the overall control board 31. The main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the second variable game and stores them in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. In addition, the values of various random numbers related to the second variation game are stored so that the acquisition order acquired according to the game balls entering the second start winning opening 22a can be specified. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit number, the start condition for the second variable game is satisfied when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 22a. .

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second hold determination is negative (when the game ball has not entered the second start winning opening 22a), or when the determination result of the second hold memory number determination is negative (second When the upper limit number of the reserved storage number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the second hold control process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When the big hit game or the variable game is not being executed, the main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved memory number and determines whether or not the second reserved memory number is larger than “0”. When the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved memory number and determines whether or not the first reserved memory number is larger than “0”. When the first reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  In the present embodiment, when the big hit game or the variable game is not being executed, and the second reserved memory number is larger than “0” (that is, there is a second variable game whose execution is reserved). The execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied. On the other hand, when the big hit game or the variable game is not being executed and the execution condition of the second variable game is not satisfied and the first reserved memory number is larger than “0” (that is, the execution is held) When the first variation game being played exists), the execution condition for the first variation game is satisfied. As described above, when the start condition for the first variation game and the start condition for the second variation game are both established, the execution condition for the second variation game is established, and the main control CPU 30 a Precisely execute a variable game.

  When the execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines a random number value (a random number value for hit determination, a variation pattern distribution random value, a special symbol distribution random number) related to the first variation game. And the random number for reach determination) are read from the main control RAM 30c for the first variation game executed first in accordance with the acquisition order. The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the first hold display device 13 so as to display the subtracted first reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs a hold designation command indicating the updated first hold storage number to the overall control board 31.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the read value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main control CPU 30a changes the special symbol distribution random number value to the first special symbol display device 11 from among the big hit symbols by the special symbols. To determine the final stop symbol to be displayed. As a result, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot corresponding to the final stop symbol that is displayed as a fixed stop. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes relating to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates the variation pattern and instructs the start of the variation game. The variation pattern designation command is a command that can specify which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed. The main control CPU 30a controls the display contents of the first special symbol display device 11 so as to start the variable symbol variation display. The main control CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the first variation game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol and the type of jackpot. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the designated variation pattern, in the first special symbol display device. 11 display contents are controlled. The main control CPU 30a instructs the end of the variation game based on the variation time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for confirming and stopping the effect symbol.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit determination is not), the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the read reach determination random number value matches the reach determination value.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlier reach variation pattern based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the case of the big hit. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the deviation variation patterns based on the read variation pattern distribution random number value.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing, as in the case of the big hit. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines the random number value (the random number for hit determination, the random value for variation pattern distribution, the special symbol distribution for the second variation game). Among the random numbers for random use and the random numbers for reach determination) are read out from the main control RAM 30c according to the second change game executed first in accordance with the acquisition order. The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 14 so as to display the subtracted second reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs a hold designation command indicating the updated second hold memory number to the overall control board 31.

  Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the read random number value, but since it is the same as the processing in the first variation game, detailed description is omitted. In the processing related to the second variation game, the control for the “first variation game” is read as the control for the “second variation game”, and the above “first special symbol display device 11” is targeted. The control is read as control for the “second special symbol display device 12”.

  The main control CPU 30a starts control of the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the variable game that is a jackpot, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts the opening time triggered by the start of the big hit game, and outputs an opening command instructing that the opening time has started to the overall control board 31.

  Next, after the opening time ends, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game, and outputs a round command that instructs the start of the round game to the overall control board 31 when the round game starts. The main control CPU 30a controls the big prize opening 23a to be in an open state and a closed state for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the large winning opening 23a in a predetermined release mode until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a predetermined time predetermined for each round game elapses. Control to open state.

  When the round game is finished, the main control CPU 30a controls the grand prize opening 23a to be closed, and keeps the big prize opening 23a closed until a predetermined round interval time has elapsed for each round game. maintain. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the round game of the specified number of rounds is completed, the main control CPU 30a starts the ending time and outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the overall control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When the big hit game is finished, the main control CPU 30a assigns the probability change state to the main probability change flag when giving the probability change state based on the determined type of jackpot (special symbol type). Set the value indicating. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is not imparted to the main probability variation flag when the probability variation state is not imparted. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the value of the main probability change flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  When ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the high base state is given to the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a is a value indicating the number of times of giving the high base state when the high base state is given with a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) as the upper limit based on the type of jackpot. Is set in the main operation frequency flag. The main control CPU 30a decrements the main operation count flag by “1” every time the variable game is executed, and resets the value of the main operation flag when it becomes “0”. The main control CPU 30a generates an operation number designation command for designating a value set in the main operation number flag, and stores it in a predetermined area of the main control RAM 30c. The operation frequency designation command is output to the overall control board 31 in a command output process different from this process. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall control CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the central control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, a fixed stop display is performed based on the final stop symbol designated by the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination by the effect symbol to be performed is determined.

  That is, the overall control CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. The overall control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the loss reach when the specified reach stop pattern is specified when the designated final stop symbol is the loss symbol. When the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and the designated variation pattern is designated, the overall control CPU 31a determines a missing symbol combination.

  When the overall control CPU 31a receives the variation pattern designation command, the overall control CPU 31a determines the production contents of the production accompanying the variation game (production symbol variation game) based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Then, the overall control CPU 31a displays a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern, an effect symbol designation command for designating an effect symbol to be confirmed and stopped, and an effect content designation command for designating the decided effect content. 32. Further, the overall control CPU 31a controls the decoration lamp LA and the speaker SP so as to execute an effect accompanying the changing game (effect design changing game) with the determined effect content. Thereafter, when the overall symbol stop command is input, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the all symbol stop command to the display control board 32 and ends the effect associated with the variable game.

  When a jackpot symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall control CPU 31a gives a value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the probability variation state is imparted based on the jackpot symbol after the jackpot game ends. Set to sub-probability change flag.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the overall control CPU 31a indicates that the high base state is given when the high base state is given based on the big hit symbol after the big hit game is finished. Set the value to the secondary action flag. In addition, when the high base state is given, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the number of variable games to which the high base state is given in the auxiliary action number counter. The overall control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub operation number counter based on the value specified by the operation number specifying command. When the value of the secondary operation number counter becomes “0”, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the high base state is not given to the secondary operation flag.

  Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the overall control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing, the display control CPU 32a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the display control CPU 32a receives a variation pattern designation command, the display control CPU 32a controls the first effect display device 16 to execute the effect symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Moreover, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an effect content designation command, the first effect display device is configured to execute an effect associated with the variation game (effect design variation game) with the effect content designated by the effect content designation command. 16 and the second effect display device 17 are controlled. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the display control CPU 32a ends the effect associated with the variable game and displays the combination of effect symbols designated by the effect symbol designation command.

  In the present embodiment, in the high base state, a music reproduction effect is performed in which music by a predetermined artist is reproduced. The music reproduction effect is an effect using a moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16, a moving image displayed on the second effect display device 17, a sound output from the speaker SP, and the like. The music reproduction effect is an effect in which a moving image and sound corresponding to any one of a plurality of types of music are reproduced. That is, each of the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16, the moving image displayed on the second effect display device 17, and the sound output from the speaker SP is classified for each effect type of music. It can be said that it is associated with the production type.

  In addition, in accordance with a selection operation (operation) by the effect button BT, a music to be reproduced from a plurality of types of music can be selected. In other words, in the music playback effect, the music to be played can be changed according to the selection operation (operation) of the effect button BT, but various effects such as the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP. The timing at which the music is changed varies depending on the target. Specifically, at the timing when the selection operation by the effect button BT is performed, the music corresponding to the moving image displayed on the second effect display device 17 and the music corresponding to the sound output from the speaker SP are changed. However, the music corresponding to the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16 is not changed, and the moving image corresponding to the previous music is continuously displayed. Then, a predetermined condition is established at a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the selection operation by the effect button BT is performed, and the music corresponding to the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16 is changed. Become.

Here, with reference to FIG.3 and FIG.4, the production | presentation aspect of a music reproduction effect is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the first image display unit GH1 of the first effect display device 16, the effect symbols are variably displayed. In the first image display unit GH1, a moving image corresponding to the music being reproduced, such as a moving image sung by a singer as a predetermined artist, is displayed as a background image. Further, in the first image display unit GH1, a music type image (for example, an image showing “PV01”) indicating the type of music being played back and a lyrics telop image corresponding to the music being played back ( "Lyrics telop" is displayed).

  On the other hand, in the second image display unit GH2 of the second effect display device 17, a singer is singing as a predetermined artist and corresponds to a music piece being reproduced such as a moving image played by a guitar player or a bass player. A moving image is displayed as a background image. In this way, the first image display unit GH1 of the first effect display device 16 and the second image display unit GH2 of the second effect display device 17 display moving images having the same playback time for the same type of music ( However, moving images with different display modes (for example, different angles) will be displayed. In the second image display unit GH2, a music type image (for example, an image showing “PV01”) indicating the type of the music being played is displayed. In addition, in the second image display unit GH2, a selection image for prompting a music selection operation such as “Change PV by button operation” is displayed separately from the moving image related to the music being played.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in the first image display unit GH1 and the second image display unit GH2, a moving image corresponding to the music PV01 being played back is displayed and corresponds to the music PV01 from the speaker SP. Audio is being output.

  And as shown in FIG.4 (b), when selection operation of production button BT is performed so that it may change into music PV02 from music PV01, in 2nd image display part GH2, music PV02 according to selection operation is set. The corresponding moving image is displayed, and the sound corresponding to the music PV02 is output from the speaker SP. In this case, the moving image corresponding to the music PV02 in the second image display unit GH2 is not a playback start time (0 s, first, start) but a cut that becomes a point of listening to the music PV02 (so-called “rust”). It is reproduced from the in-time (for example, 2 m10 s). Similarly, the sound corresponding to the music PV02 from the speaker SP is reproduced not from the reproduction start time but from the cut-in time. On the other hand, in the first image display unit GH1, the moving image corresponding to the music PV01 before the selection operation is continuously displayed instead of the music PV02 corresponding to the selection operation.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4C, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the selection operation was performed, the moving image corresponding to the music PV02 corresponding to the selection operation is also displayed on the first image display unit GH1. Is displayed from the playback start time. In this case, both the moving image corresponding to the music PV02 in the first image display unit GH1 and the second image display unit GH2 and the audio corresponding to the music PV02 from the speaker SP are reproduced from the reproduction start time. The

  In addition, when the selection operation of the effect button BT is further performed so as to change from the music PV02 to the music PV03 before a predetermined time has elapsed since the selection operation is performed, in the second image display unit GH2, A moving image corresponding to the music PV03 corresponding to the selection operation is displayed, and sound corresponding to the music PV03 is output from the speaker SP. On the other hand, in the first image display unit GH1, not the music PV03 corresponding to the selection operation but the moving image corresponding to the music PV01 before the first selection operation is continuously displayed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4D, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the selection operation immediately before the change to the music PV03 was performed, the first image display unit GH1 also responds to the selection operation. A moving image corresponding to the music PV03 is displayed.

  Here, the execution timing of various effects will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5 (a), the type and playback time of the music to be played back in each effect target are shown, and the first effect display device 16 as the effect target is set as the “first display” and the second effect display. The devices 17 are each shown as “second display”.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, at the timing indicated by reference numeral T10, an effect corresponding to the music PV01 is executed on all effect objects (the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP). ing.

  And when the selection operation which changes to music PV02 is performed when the production corresponding to music PV01 becomes the predetermined time (for example, 1m50s) with the timing shown to code | symbol T11, it will be 2nd production | presentation display apparatus. In 17 and the speaker SP, an effect corresponding to the music PV02 is started from the cut-in time (for example, 2 m10 s) according to the selection operation. On the other hand, even if the selection operation for changing to the music PV02 is performed, the first performance display device 16 continuously executes the performance corresponding to the music PV01 before the selection operation (for example, 1 m50 s).

  Subsequently, when a predetermined time elapses from the timing indicated by reference sign T11, at the timing indicated by reference sign T12, the effect corresponding to the music PV02 starts from the reproduction start time (0 s) in accordance with the selection operation for all effect targets. Is done.

  In the present embodiment, when a plurality of selection operations are performed and a predetermined time has elapsed since the last selection operation, the music finally selected by the selection operation is displayed on the first effect display device. It may be the same type as the music corresponding to the moving image. In this case, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, an effect corresponding to the music finally selected by the selection operation is started from the reproduction start time on the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP. It will be. As a specific example, when the music PV01 is being played, if a selection operation for changing to the music PV02 and a selection operation for changing to the music PV01 are performed in order, the music PV01 is played when a predetermined condition is satisfied. It will be played from the start time. Thus, when a specific music is selected again by the selection operation, the specific music can be played from the playback start time.

Here, with reference to FIG. 6, a plurality of types of effect data for executing a music reproduction effect will be described.
The plurality of types of effect data for executing the music reproduction effect include a plurality of types of moving image data for displaying a moving image and a plurality of types of audio data for outputting sound. The moving image data is stored in the display control ROM 32b, and the sound data is stored in the overall control ROM 31b.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the display control ROM 32b stores a moving image data table in which information relating to moving image data is associated. In the moving image data table, production designation information, music type information, production target information, full length reproduction time information, and cut-in time information are associated with each other.

  The effect designation information is information for designating moving image data such as PV01A. The music type information is information for designating the type of music based on moving image data, such as PV01. The effect target information includes moving image data such as a first effect display device 16 (shown as “first display” in the drawing) and a second effect display device 17 (shown as “second display” in the drawing). It is the information which shows the production | presentation object which displays the moving image based on. Full length playback time information (shown as “playback time” in the figure) is information that designates the total length of playback time of moving image data. The cut-in time information is information that specifies the cut-in time of the moving image data. That is, the cut-in time is a specified time different from the reproduction start time within the full length of the reproduction time.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the overall control ROM 31b stores an audio data table in which information related to audio data is associated. In the audio data table, as in the moving image data table, production designation information, music type information, production target information, full length reproduction time information, and cut-in time information are associated with each other.

  Although description of matters that overlap with the moving image data table is omitted, the effect designation information is information that designates audio data such as PV01C. The effect target information is information indicating an effect target to which the speaker SP is associated and to output a sound based on the sound data.

  As described above, the display control ROM 32b stores various types of moving image data and information about the moving image data, and the overall control ROM 31b stores various types of audio data and information about the audio data. Yes. In particular, in the display control ROM 32b, for each type of music, moving image data (first moving image data) having the first effect display device 16 as an effect object and moving image having the second effect display device 17 as an effect object. Image data (second moving image data) is stored. In the moving image data table and the audio data table, it is defined that the full length reproduction time information corresponding to the same type of music is the same and the cut-in time information corresponding to the same type of music is the same. In this way, the display of the first moving image based on the first moving image data with the first effect display device 16 as the effect object and the second based on the second moving image data with the second effect display device 17 as the effect object. The display of the moving image and the output of the sound based on the sound data targeted at the speaker SP are associated in time series order. Then, the display of the first moving image, the display of the second moving image, and the output of the sound are executed so as to have the same playback time, so that the effects in these various effects can be executed in synchronization. Become.

  Here, the music reproduction effect control process executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described. The music reproduction effect control process is executed when a high base state is given after the end of the big hit game.

  In this process, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the value of the music flag assigned to a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c. The music flag assigned to the predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c includes a first music flag in which information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image in the first effect display device 16 is stored, and the second effect display device 17. There is a second music flag in which information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image and the sound from the speaker SP is stored. In the present embodiment, after the big hit game, the music corresponding to the value set in the first music flag and the music corresponding to the value set in the second music flag are the same music. Is controlled.

  The overall control CPU 31a reads the value from the second music flag, specifies the music, and refers to the audio data table to read the audio data corresponding to the specified music. Then, the overall control CPU 31a performs control to start reproduction of audio data from the reproduction start time. Accordingly, the overall control CPU 31a reproduces the sound corresponding to the value set in the second music flag from the reproduction start time.

  The overall control CPU 31a reads the value from the first music flag, identifies the music, and plays the moving image of the music corresponding to the value set in the first music flag from the reproduction start time with the first effect display device 16. A moving image designation command designating display on both the second effect display device 17 is set in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c. Then, in a process different from the music reproduction effect control process, the overall control CPU 31 a outputs the set moving image designation command to the display control board 32.

  On the other hand, when such a moving image designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a sets a value for designating the type of music in a music flag assigned to a predetermined area of the display control RAM 32c. The music flag assigned to the predetermined area of the display control RAM 32c stores information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image in the first effect display device 16, as in the predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c. There are a third music flag and a fourth music flag in which information indicating the type of music corresponding to the moving image in the second effect display device 17 is stored.

  The display control CPU 32a sets the value specifying the type of music in the third music flag and the fourth music flag. The display control CPU 32a reads the value from the third music flag, specifies the music, refers to the moving image data table, corresponds to the specified music, and the moving image data for which the first effect display device 16 is the effect target. Is read. Then, the display control CPU 32a performs control for starting the reproduction of the moving image data from the reproduction start time in the first effect display device 16.

  Similarly, the display control CPU 32a reads the value from the fourth music flag, specifies the music, refers to the moving image data table, corresponds to the specified music, and the second effect display device 17 produces the effect. Read the target moving image data. Then, the display control CPU 32a performs control for starting the reproduction of the moving image data from the reproduction start time in the second effect display device 17. Thus, the display control CPU 32a performs the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device based on the moving image data of the music designated by the moving image designation command from the reproduction start time of the moving image of the designated music. 17 will be displayed.

  In this embodiment, when the selection operation of the effect button BT is not performed, effects corresponding to the designated music are executed in time series in the first effect display device 16, the second effect display device 17, and the speaker SP. Then, when the provision of the high base state ends, or when the big hit game is started, the execution of the effect corresponding to the designated music is ended.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an effect selection process executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described. The effect selection process is executed at a predetermined cycle.
As shown in FIG. 7, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not a selection operation has been performed (step S101). In the present embodiment, when the base state is the high base state, it is determined whether or not the selection operation is performed according to the operation signal from the effect button BT. If it is, it is determined that the selection operation has not been performed.

  If it is determined that the selection operation has not been performed, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S105 without executing steps S102 to S104. On the other hand, if it is determined that the selection operation has been performed, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S102.

  In step S <b> 102, the overall control CPU 31 a executes a process of updating information related to the presentation according to the selection operation, and proceeds to step S <b> 103. Specifically, the overall control CPU 31a sets a predetermined value (for example, a value for specifying the elapse of 5 s) in a counting timer assigned to a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c. Further, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the type of music selected in accordance with the selection operation in the second music flag.

  The counting timer is a timer for specifying that the time until the moving image is changed in the first effect display device 16 has elapsed, and is a predetermined time after the selection operation for selecting the type of music is started. It is a timer for specifying that has passed. Note that, in a process different from the effect selection process, the overall control CPU 31a can specify that a predetermined time has elapsed by updating the counting timer at a predetermined cycle. In the present embodiment, if the next selection operation is performed before the predetermined time has elapsed since the previous selection operation, it is specified whether the predetermined time has elapsed since the next selection operation. Will be. That is, it is specified whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the last selection operation.

  In step S103, the overall control CPU 31a executes a sound output control process corresponding to the selection operation, and proceeds to step S104. Specifically, when a selection operation for selecting music is performed, a value indicating the type of music corresponding to the selection operation is set in the second music flag. However, the overall control CPU 31a determines the value from the second music flag. And referring to the audio data table, the audio data corresponding to the music corresponding to the selection operation and the cut-in time are read out. Then, the overall control CPU 31a performs control to start reproduction of audio data from the cut-in time. Thus, the overall control CPU 31a reproduces the sound of the selected music from the cut-in time based on the sound data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  In this way, the overall control CPU 31a is selected based on the audio data corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, triggered by the selection of the music by the selection operation of the effect button BT. The sound corresponding to the music is output from the speaker SP. In other words, the overall control CPU 31a changes the sound output from the speaker SP to the sound corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT. It can be changed.

  In step S104, the overall control CPU 31a sets a moving image designation command corresponding to the selection operation in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c, and proceeds to step S105. In this case, the overall control CPU 31a assigns a moving image designation command for designating that the moving image of the music selected in accordance with the selection operation is displayed on the second effect display device 17 from the cut-in time in the overall control RAM 31c. It will be set to the area. Then, in a process different from the effect selection process, the overall control CPU 31 a outputs the set moving image designation command to the display control board 32.

  On the other hand, when such a moving image designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a sets a value for designating the type of the selected music in the fourth music flag. The display control CPU 32a reads the value from the fourth music flag, refers to the moving image data table, corresponds to the selected music, and the moving image data for which the second effect display device 17 is to be rendered, and the cut-in Read time and time. Then, the display control CPU 32a performs control for starting the reproduction of the moving image data from the cut-in time in the second effect display device 17. Thus, the display control CPU 32a displays the moving image of the selected music on the second effect display device 17 from the cut-in time based on the moving image data of the music selected by the selection operation. In this case, in the display control related to the first effect display device 16, a predetermined moving image is continuously displayed regardless of the input of the moving image designation command.

  Thus, the display control CPU 32a is selected based on the moving image data corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, triggered by the selection of the music by the selection operation of the effect button BT. The moving image corresponding to the selected music is displayed on the second effect display device 17. In other words, the display control CPU 32a receives the moving image to be displayed on the second effect display device 17 when the song is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, and the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT. It is possible to change to a moving image corresponding to.

  Further, the display control CPU 32a is triggered by the selection of the effect button BT by the selection operation of the effect button BT, and the movie corresponding to the music that has been played back immediately before, not the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT. Based on the image data, a moving image corresponding to the music that has been played back immediately before is displayed on the first effect display device 16. In other words, the display control CPU 32a cannot change the moving image displayed on the first effect display device 16 when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT.

  Returning to the description, in step S105, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition is established when a predetermined time has elapsed since the immediately preceding selection operation. That is, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied based on whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the immediately preceding selection operation based on the value of the counting timer.

  When it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the overall control CPU 31a ends the effect selection process without executing steps S106 to S108. On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S106.

  In step S <b> 106, the overall control CPU 31 a executes a process of updating information related to the presentation according to the establishment of the predetermined condition, and proceeds to step S <b> 107. Specifically, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the type of music selected in accordance with the immediately preceding selection operation in the first music flag. That is, in step S102, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the type of music selected according to the selection operation in the second music flag in response to the selection operation, and sets a predetermined time from the immediately preceding selection operation. After the elapse of time, a value indicating the type of music selected in accordance with the selection operation is also set in the first music flag.

  In step S107, the overall control CPU 31a executes a sound output control process according to the establishment of a predetermined condition, and proceeds to step S108. Specifically, when a selection operation for selecting music is performed, the overall control CPU 31a reads a value from the second music flag, and reads audio data corresponding to the selected music with reference to the audio data table. . Then, the overall control CPU 31a performs control to start reproduction of audio data from the reproduction start time. Thus, the overall control CPU 31a reproduces the sound of the selected music from the reproduction start time based on the sound data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  Thus, when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the sound corresponding to the selected music from the reproduction start time when the predetermined condition is satisfied. It becomes. In particular, the overall control CPU 31a is triggered by the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied even when the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT is the same type of music as before the selection operation. The sound corresponding to the selected music is output from the reproduction start time.

  In step S108, the overall control CPU 31a sets a moving image designation command according to the establishment of the predetermined condition in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c, and ends the effect selection process. In this case, the overall control CPU 31a designates that the moving image of the music selected according to the immediately preceding selection operation is displayed on both the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 17 from the reproduction start time. The moving image designation command to be set is set in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c. Then, in a process different from the effect selection process, the overall control CPU 31 a outputs the set moving image designation command to the display control board 32.

  On the other hand, when such a moving image designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a sets a value for designating the type of the selected music in the third music flag. The display control CPU 32a reads the value from the third music flag, refers to the moving image data table, and reads the moving image data corresponding to the selected music and the first effect display device 16 being the effect object. Then, the display control CPU 32a performs control for starting the reproduction of the moving image data from the reproduction start time in the first effect display device 16. Accordingly, the display control CPU 32a displays the moving image of the selected music on the first effect display device 16 from the reproduction start time based on the moving image data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  As described above, when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the display control CPU 32a receives the moving image corresponding to the selected music for the second time from the reproduction start time when the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is displayed on the effect display device 17. In particular, the display control CPU 32a is triggered by the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied even when the music selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT is the same type of music as before the selection operation. The moving image corresponding to the selected music is displayed from the reproduction start time.

  The display control CPU 32a reads the value from the fourth music flag, refers to the moving image data table, and reads the moving image data corresponding to the selected music and the second effect display device 17 being the effect target. . Then, the display control CPU 32a performs control for starting the reproduction of the moving image data from the reproduction start time in the second effect display device 17. As a result, the display control CPU 32a displays the moving image of the selected music on the second effect display device 17 from the reproduction start time based on the moving image data of the music selected by the selection operation.

  As described above, when the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT, the display control CPU 32a first plays the moving image corresponding to the selected music from the reproduction start time when the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is displayed on the effect display device 16. In other words, the display control CPU 32a displays a moving image to be displayed on the first effect display device 16 when the predetermined condition is satisfied after the music is selected by the selection operation of the effect button BT. It can be changed to a moving image corresponding to the music selected by the selection operation. In addition, the display control CPU 32a displays a moving image corresponding to the selected music piece on the second effect display device 17 in response to the selection operation, but a moving image corresponding to the selected music piece is delayed from the selection operation. It can be said that control is performed to display on the first effect display device 16.

  In this embodiment, the display control CPU 32a capable of displaying a moving image (image) based on the moving image data (image data) corresponds to the effect display means and the display control means, and is based on the audio data.

In the above embodiment, for example, in the low base state, there may be cases where the lottery per common drawing may not be won, and in the high base state, the fluctuation time of the normal game may not be shorter than the low base state. .

  In the above embodiment, for example, a game machine to which a big win game is given when the big prize opening door 23b operates in an open state by a predetermined lottery and the game ball entered into the big prize opening 23a passes through a specific passage (So-called “two types of gaming machines”). Further, for example, it may be a gaming machine (so-called “1 type and 2 type mixed gaming machine”) in which the big prize opening door 23 b operates in an open state by winning a big hit lottery in a variable game. Alternatively, a gaming machine (so-called three types of gaming machines) in which a big hit game is started when a gaming ball enters a predetermined entrance may be used. In addition, the game is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine in which a variable game is executed based on the entrance of a game ball to an entrance or the like arranged in the game area of the game board, and for example, the variable game is started based on a start operation. A slot machine may be employed. Further, in this case, it may be a slot machine that stops a symbol in a variation game based on a stop operation or a slot machine that stops a symbol in a variation game after a predetermined time. Further, in the slot machine, a winning combination (for example, a bell role, a replaying role, etc.) is determined with the start operation as a trigger, and the symbols are stopped and displayed based on the winning combination and the operation mode of the stop operation. Then, a state in which the symbols to be stopped and displayed are likely to be an advantageous combination (a state in which the probability that the symbols to be stopped and displayed is an advantageous combination is high or a stop operation mode in which the symbols to be stopped and displayed are an advantageous combination is notified A state with a high probability) is an advantageous state advantageous to the player.
