Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine equipped with a precursor effect that suggests that there is a possibility that a holding sign changes.

The ball game machine represented by the current pachinko game machine uses a random number (numerical data) extracted when a game ball enters the start opening provided in the game area, with a predetermined number as the upper limit. The stored random number value is determined in accordance with the stored order for determining whether or not the stored random number value is a predetermined big hit value.
The lottery result as to whether or not to generate a big hit game is notified by a fixed display after a special symbol change. Since the special symbol is only displayed small in the corner of the game area, the special symbol pseudo-effect is provided by the effect symbol display device provided in the center of the game area, and the pseudo-effect is given to the player. Gives a sense of expectation to the lottery results.
Note that the number of stored random numbers is made easy to understand for the player by displaying the same number of reserved symbols (holding signs) as the stored number on the effect symbol display device.

Further, in recent pachinko machines, immediately after storing the extracted random number value (before the big hit lottery is performed), the stored random number value is a specific value (a value that is determined to be a big hit, a value that is determined to be a reach) Etc., and a special hold pattern that is different from normal is displayed based on the check result, so that the player has a sense of expectation regarding the random number value stored (so-called hold notice) )It is carried out.
In addition, a plurality of types of special reserved symbols are provided so that a special reserved symbol that does not have high expectation is displayed at first, and then a special reserved symbol that does not have high expectation at a predetermined timing is displayed. There is also an effect such as changing to a special reserved symbol with a high. (For example, a gaming machine described in Patent Document 1)
Note that there are many configurations in which a character is made to appear immediately before the predetermined timing, and an effect (referred to as a hold change sign effect) in which the character changes the holding symbol is executed.

With such a configuration, the player plays a game while expecting the appearance of the character, and the preference is increased.
In addition, in the current configuration, even if a character appears, there is a case where a change in hold is not performed (so-called gusset), so that it is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation in more opportunities. It has become.

JP 2004-187702 A

  In the above-mentioned conventional change sign indication, a plurality of types of characters are provided, and the probability of executing the hold change differs according to the character type. However, no matter which character appears, there is a chance only at the timing of one hold change immediately after the appearance of the character. Therefore, even if a character appears, even though he is waiting for the appearance, the time that the player can maintain his expectation is short and the length of the time is always the same. There was a problem of lacking.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has a length that is different in length from a short time to a long time with which a player can maintain a sense of expectation with respect to a change due to a precursor effect relating to a change in hold. An object is to provide a highly efficient ball game machine.

  The invention according to claim 1, which has been made in view of the above problems, is a numerical data extracting means for extracting numerical data due to a game ball having entered the starting port, and a numerical value extracted by the numerical data extracting means. A hold storage means for storing data, a big hit determination means for determining whether or not to generate a big hit game based on the numerical data stored in the hold storage means, and before the big hit determination by the big hit determination means Numerical data is stored in the numerical data confirmation means for confirming the contents of the extracted numerical data, the special symbol display control means for displaying the special symbol indicating the determination result by the jackpot determination means on the special symbol display device, and the holding storage means. Then, the hold sign display means for displaying the corresponding hold sign, and the hold sign have a plurality of types with different reliability, which is a probability of being a big hit when displayed. There is a bullet change execution means for executing a hold change for changing the hold sign displayed by the hold sign display means to a hold sign having a different reliability according to the result confirmed by the numerical data confirmation means. It relates to a ball game machine.

  This ball game machine has a timing determination means for determining a timing for executing a holding change by a holding change execution means, and a target holding sign may change for a predetermined holding sign. The sign production execution means for executing the suggested sign production and the sign production include at least the first sign production and the second sign production, and the sign production that determines which of the sign production is executed by the sign production execution means. Determining means, and setting the sign indicating that the target sign of the sign effect may change on hold after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the second sign effect is executed by the sign effect executing means. After the predetermined first period has elapsed since the first execution of the first sign production by the production execution means, it is set such that the target sign of the sign production does not change.

  By configuring in this way, the timing at which a pending change may be performed after the precursor effect is executed differs between the first precursor effect and the second precursor effect, so the player can The length of the period in which the feeling of expectation for the hold change is different, and a highly interesting performance can be provided to the player.

  The numerical data whose contents are to be confirmed by the numerical data confirming means may be numerical data extracted by the numerical data extracting means due to the game ball entering the starting port. The numerical data after the data is stored in the hold storage means can be the confirmation target, the numerical data stored by the other storage means before being stored in the hold storage means can be the check target, or the hold storage means It is also possible to use the numerical data stored in the other storage means after being stored as a confirmation target. That is, as long as the numerical data has the same content (value) as the numerical data extracted by the numerical data extraction means, regardless of the type of storage subject (storage medium, that is, storage means) and the storage time, The numerical data becomes the confirmation target of the numerical data confirmation means.

  Further, the hold change by the hold change execution means means that a hold sign changes to another hold sign having a different reliability from the hold sign. Therefore, it is a display mode indicating that there is a certain sign for which reliability is not set, more specifically, a change from the one reserved sign to another reserved sign, and no expectation is set. If it is assumed that a “sign” is provided, even if a change from the certain reserved sign to the “sign” is made, the change does not correspond to the reserved change of the present invention. In other words, a change from a certain reserved sign for which an expected degree is set to another “marker” in which an expected degree of a different display mode is not set does not correspond to the technique of the reserved change of the present invention. In addition, when using the above “sign” that does not correspond to a hold change but is simply not set with a different expectation of the display mode, for example, the display mode is simply different from a certain hold sign for which the expectation is set. It is also possible to provide an effect display that changes to another “signature” for which the degree of expectation is not set, returns to the original reserved sign again, and produces the fact that the so-called pending change has failed.

  In addition, “setting” performed by the sign production execution means is based on the timing of the hold change performed by the hold change execution means, and at which timing the sign production is further performed by the sign production determination means. By deciding whether or not to perform at the player, it is as if the player has induced a change in hold after various periods have passed since the occurrence of the precursor effect. It means to make it recognize. More specifically, the “execution time” or precursor effect of the hold change, which is set to be performed individually after the elapse of a predetermined time, starting from the display start of the hold symbol or execution of shift processing, etc. Are combined on the setting table (see FIG. 22), and the execution of the hold change starts from the occurrence of the warning effect “after 3 shifts”, “after 2 shifts”, “after 1 shift” ”,“ Several seconds later ”, and“ immediately after ”. More specifically, such a setting table is provided and used for control. However, such a configuration is an example in the case of “setting” by the indication effect executing means, and is not limited to this. That is, it is also possible to employ a configuration in which the timing of the change in hold and the timing of the indication effect are simultaneously determined.

  The sign effect executed by the sign effect executing means is “indicating that there is a possibility that the target hold sign may change on hold for a predetermined hold sign”. Therefore, even if the sign effect is executed, a configuration in which the target holding sign does not change on hold may occur. Thereby, it is possible to entertain the player whether or not to change the hold. Moreover, it is good also as a structure by which a pending | holding change is always performed when a specific precursor effect is performed. Thereby, the player can look forward to the occurrence of a specific precursor effect promised to execute the hold change, and improve the interest of the game.

Further, “after being executed” after “a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the precursor effect was executed” may mean “after the display of the precursor effect is started”. Further, it may mean “after the indication of the indication effect is finished”.
Further, in the configuration in which “the holding sign of the target of the precursor effect may be changed to hold after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the first second indicator effect is executed” by the warning effect execution unit, The configuration may be such that the pending change is executed before the “predetermined period” elapses. The time when the holding change is possible is not limited to after the predetermined period, and the time that can be expected by the player is increased, which contributes to the improvement of interest.

  Furthermore, depending on the type of the sign production performed by the sign production execution means, by setting the case where the hold change is performed after the lapse of a predetermined time from the execution of the sign production, the sign is It is possible to suggest to the player the timing at which the hold change is executed depending on the type of effect.

[Description of operation]
[First embodiment]
Next, the operation of the pachinko in the first embodiment will be described.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment is provided with a first start port 11 that can always win a prize and a second start port 12 that is opened for a certain period of time by winning in the above-described normal symbol lottery and that can win a prize. The jackpot lottery is performed using random numbers extracted due to winning at the first and second start ports 11 and 12. In the case of the big hit lottery, the special symbol display device 9 displays the variation of the special symbols, and by displaying these in a stopped state, the result of the big hit lottery is notified. In parallel with this, on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbols corresponding to the special symbols are variably displayed, then stopped and displayed, and a pseudo effect for notifying the result of the big hit lottery is performed.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, up to four random numbers (numerical data) extracted by winning the first and second start ports 11 and 12 are stored as storage, and the special figure reservation number display device 18 The number of hold memories is displayed, and a hold symbol corresponding to each hold memory is displayed. In addition, when a big hit lottery is won, a big hit game of a predetermined number of rounds is played.

  After the jackpot game is over, the game state of the pachinko machine 50 becomes a probability variation mode in which the probability of winning the jackpot lottery increases for a certain period (a period until a predetermined number of jackpot lotteries are performed). At the same time, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery increases, the opening time of the second start port 12 at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery is extended, and the normal symbol variation time is further shortened. Note that a gaming state that is neither the probability change mode nor the time reduction mode is referred to as a normal mode.

  In the pachinko machine 50, a plurality of types of reserved symbols are provided, and the probability that each type of reserved symbol is a big hit by the reserved memory when displayed immediately before the corresponding reserved memory is consumed. The reliability is different. Then, by displaying each type of holding symbol, a “holding notice effect” indicating whether or not there is a possibility of winning a big hit by the corresponding holding memory and the magnitude of the possibility is performed. In addition, as one of the hold notice effects, a primary hold symbol (also referred to as a primary hold display) once displayed as a hold symbol is used as another type of hold symbol with different reliability (probability of winning a big hit). A “holding change effect (also simply referred to as“ holding change ”)” for changing to the final holding symbol (also referred to as “final holding display”) is performed. In this hold change effect, the last hold symbol (final hold display) is displayed until the corresponding hold memory is consumed, and depending on the type of the last hold symbol, whether or not there is a possibility of being a big hit by the hold memory, A high possibility is suggested.

  In the configuration in which the hold change effect (hold change) is executed a plurality of times during the period from when the hold memory is stored and the first hold symbol is displayed until the hold memory is finally consumed. The retained symbol after the change in the first suspended change corresponds to the next primary retained symbol. In this way, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the pending change does not end with a single change but is executed stepwise, such as a two-step change or a three-step change.

  In addition, when a hold change effect is performed, a precursor effect that suggests a change in the type of the primary hold symbol is performed, and for any hold symbol that does not perform the hold change effect, "Predictive production" is performed. A plurality of modes are provided for the sign production, and by lottery, the probability according to the type of the reserved symbol on which the sign production is performed, whether or not it is a big hit by the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol, etc. An aspect is selected. Therefore, until the player performs a holding change effect or immediately before the holding memory corresponding to the holding symbol is consumed, the displayed holding memory is the primary holding symbol or the final holding symbol. I don't know if there is.

  Needless to say, the hold notice effect and the hold change effect do not always accurately predict the result of the big hit lottery, and the notice may be missed. Of course, the hold notice effect and the hold change effect are performed. You may win a jackpot lottery with unreserved memory. In other words, it also has a so-called gasse effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described “holding change effect” and the like, the “prediction effect” suggesting that the hold change effect is executed can be displayed before the execution of the hold change effect. Yes. In the present embodiment, the “precursor effect” refers to the type of timing at which the pending change is executed and the multiple types of types with different timing types from the start (occurrence) of the predictive effect execution (described later). 20 will be described in detail). The “holding change effect” and the “prediction effect” of these embodiments will be described in detail later. Note that the “prediction effect” is also provided with a so-called “gasse effect”, similar to the “holding change effect”.

Hereinafter, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment will be described in detail, and the “holding change effect”, “predictive effect”, and “predictive change effect” will be described.
(1) Main Routine First, the main routine in the main controller 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is started as a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms.

  In S10, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the main routine has been activated by a normal timer interrupt. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S10: Yes), the process proceeds to S20 and a negative determination is made. If the determination is obtained (S10: No), the process proceeds to S15.

In S15, the main controller 80 performs initial settings of the CPU, I / O, etc., and proceeds to S75.
On the other hand, if a positive determination is obtained in S10, the main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), the big hit determination random number (S25), the big hit symbol determination random number update (S30), Various random numbers (numerical data) are updated by updating the winning determination random number (S35), the reach determination random number (S40), and the fluctuation pattern determining random numbers 1 and 2 (S45).

The initial value random number is in the range of 0 to 3899, and the size of the random number is 3900.
The big hit determination random number is in the range of 0 to 3899, and the size of the random number is 3900. In the normal mode, the number of values that are jackpots is 13 (the jackpot probability is 1/300), which is 775 to 778, 1775 to 1778, and 2775 to 2779. In the probability variation mode, the number of values that are big hits is larger than 13.

  The value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is in the range of 0 to 59, and the random number is 60 in size.

The value of the random number 1 for determining the variation pattern is in the range of 0 to 1020, and the size of the random number is 1021.
The value of the random number 2 for determining the variation pattern is in the range of 0 to 600, and the size of the random number is 601.

  Then, main controller 80 performs a winning confirmation process for detecting a winning of a game ball to a winning opening such as a starting opening (S50), and a determination process for determining whether or not to win a big hit due to winning at the starting opening (S55). ), The big hit game processing for controlling the big hit game performed when the big hit lottery is won (S60). Further, a fraud monitoring process for detecting a player's fraud (S65), an output process for transmitting various information to the hall computer 87, and the like (S70) are executed.

  In S75, main controller 80 repeatedly updates the initial value random number until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.

(2) About the start winning confirmation process Next, the start winning confirmation process for detecting a winning at the first and second starting ports 11 and 12 and generating a hold memory according to the winning is shown in FIG. It demonstrates using the flowchart of these. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process (S50) executed in the main routine.

  In S100, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball win has occurred in the first and second start ports 11 and 12 based on the detection signals of the first and second start ports SW11a and 12a. If the determination is affirmative (S100: Yes), the process proceeds to S105. If the determination is negative (S100: No), the process ends.

  In S105, main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of reserved memories is an upper limit value (4 as an example). If the determination is negative (S105: No), the process proceeds to S107. If the determination is affirmative (S105: Yes), the process ends.

  In S107, the main controller 80 determines a big hit determining random number for use in the big hit lottery, a big hit symbol determining random number for determining a symbol to be stopped when the big hit lottery is won (winning symbol), or a pseudo effect. In order to determine a random number for reach determination for determining whether or not to perform an effect (normal reach or super reach) for stopping and displaying an effect design indicating a disengagement after reaching a reach state, a variation time of a special design, etc. That is, numerical data such as a random number for determining the fluctuation pattern is extracted, stored in a pre-storage buffer (predetermined storage area), and the process proceeds to S110. The pre-storage buffer is a buffer different from the hold storage buffer for storing numerical data in the hold storage buffer in S110 to be described later, and the pre-storage buffer stores numerical data stored in the hold storage buffer. Is stored prior to storage in the pending storage buffer.

In S110, main controller 80 extracts the same numeric data as the numeric data extracted in S107 and stored in the pre-storage buffer, and stores the same in the hold storage buffer as the hold storage. In S107 and S110, the extraction may be performed twice, or the same value may be stored in each buffer by one extraction.
That is, in S110, various random numbers are extracted as numerical data due to the game ball entering the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, and the extracted numerical data is stored as reserved storage. To do.
Then, a pending number command indicating the number of pending storages that have not been digested is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S115.

In S115, main controller 80 determines the numerical data such as the jackpot determination random number stored in the pre-storage buffer in S107 (that is, the same numerical data stored in the hold storage buffer corresponding to the newly generated hold storage). A prefetch determination process for determining the content data) is executed, and this process ends.
The prefetch determination process (S115) of this embodiment is a process for confirming whether or not the numerical data stored in the pre-stored buffer has a big hit before the execution of the success / failure determination process described later.

The control of the start winning confirmation process can be configured by any of the following three types of processes.
First, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been won at the first and second start ports 11 and 12, and when winning, numerical data is extracted, and then whether or not the reserved memory is not full. If the determination is not full, the numerical data may be stored in a pre-storage buffer, the numerical data stored in the pre-storage buffer may be copied, and the copy stored in the pending storage buffer.
Alternatively, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been won at the first and second start ports 11 and 12, and when winning, the numerical data is extracted, and then whether or not the reserved memory is not full. If it is determined that the numerical data is not full, the numerical data may be stored in both the pre-storage buffer and the pending storage buffer.
Alternatively, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been won at the first and second start ports 11 and 12, and when winning, numeric data is extracted, and the extracted numeric data is stored in a pre-stored buffer. If it is not full, and if it is not full, copy the numeric data stored in the pre-store buffer and store the copy in the hold memory buffer; Alternatively, the numerical data stored in the pre-storage buffer may be deleted.

Regardless of which of the above-described three types of processes is employed, in the prefetch determination process, the numerical data stored in the pre-storage buffer is set as a determination target, and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. .
Note that the prefetch determination processing is not limited to the configuration in which the numerical data stored in the pre-storage buffer is a determination target, but may be configured to target the numerical data stored in the hold storage buffer. .

(3) Prefetch determination processing Next, prefetch determination processing for determining a value such as a jackpot determination random number corresponding to a newly generated reserved storage will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is called from the start winning confirmation process. That is, the process described below is a prefetch determination process in S115 of the start winning confirmation process (FIG. 8).

As described above, the various random numbers (numerical data) relating to the newly generated pending storage to be determined in this process are the numerical data stored in the pre-storage buffer and stored in the pending storage buffer. It is not numerical data.
Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration that targets numerical data stored in the hold storage buffer may be used.
Further, it may be configured so that only the reserved storage buffer is provided without providing the advance storage buffer, and the numerical data stored in the reserved storage buffer is set as the determination target.

  In S150, main controller 80 determines whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit relating to the newly generated on-hold storage is a specific value (a value that will be won in the big hit lottery), and if an affirmative determination is obtained. (S150: Yes), the process proceeds to S155, and if a negative determination is obtained (S150: No), the process proceeds to S160.

  In S155, the main control device 80 generates a prefetch command 1 indicating that the value of the big hit determination random number related to the newly generated pending storage is the specific value, and transmits the prefetch command 1 to the sub integrated control device 83. Exit.

  On the other hand, in S160, main controller 80 determines whether or not the values of the reach determination random number and variation pattern determination random numbers 1 and 2 relating to the newly generated on-hold storage are specific values (values that become super reach in the pseudo effect). If a positive determination is obtained (S160: Yes), the process proceeds to S165, and if a negative determination is obtained (S160: No), the process proceeds to S170.

  In S165, main controller 80 generates prefetch command 2 indicating that the values of reach determination random number and variation pattern determination random numbers 1 and 2 relating to the newly generated pending storage are the specific values, and performs sub-integration. The data is transmitted to the control device 83, and this process ends.

  Further, in S170, main controller 80 determines whether or not the values of the reach determination random number and variation pattern determination random numbers 1 and 2 relating to the newly generated on-hold storage are specific values (values that become normal reach in the pseudo effect). If the determination is positive and an affirmative determination is obtained (S170: Yes), the process proceeds to S175. If a negative determination is obtained (S170: No), the process proceeds to S180.

  In S175, main controller 80 generates prefetch command 3 indicating that the values of reach determination random number and variation pattern determination random numbers 1 and 2 relating to the newly generated pending storage are the specific values, and perform sub-integration. The data is transmitted to the control device 83, and this process ends.

  On the other hand, in S180, main controller 80 determines that the jackpot determination random number, reach determination random number, or variation pattern determination random numbers 1 and 2 relating to the newly generated pending storage are not any of the specific values. The prefetch command 4 shown is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and this processing is terminated.

  The above is the prefetch determination processing of the present embodiment. In addition to transmitting the prefetch commands 1 to 4 to the sub integrated control device 83 as a result of determination confirmation, information (command, Signal) may also be transmitted.

(4) About the success / failure determination processing Next, regarding the success / failure determination processing in which the big hit lottery is performed by the big hit determination random number among the numerical data stored as the hold storage, that is, stored in the hold storage buffer, FIGS. This will be described with reference to a flowchart. This process is executed from the main routine.

  First, with reference to FIG. 8, in S200, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating, that is, whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S200: Yes), the process ends. If the determination is negative (S200: No), the process proceeds to S205.

  In S205, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S205: Yes), the process proceeds to S280 in FIG. 10, and if the determination is negative (S205: No), the process proceeds to S210.

  In S210, main controller 80 determines whether or not a special figure is being confirmed. If the determination is affirmative (S210: Yes), the process proceeds to S290 in FIG. 11. If the determination is negative (S210: No), the process proceeds to S215 in FIG.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 9, in S215, the main controller 80 determines whether or not there is a pending storage, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S215: Yes), the process proceeds to S220 and in the case of a negative determination ( S215: No), this process ends.

  In S220, the main controller 80 decrements the number of reserved memories, selects the oldest reserved memory, and refers to it in S230, S235, S245, S250, S255, S260, and S265, which will be described later. The information (numerical data such as a random number value) stored in the hold memory is moved to a predetermined buffer for determining the big hit, and the process proceeds to S225.

  In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation mode is 1, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S225: Yes), the process proceeds to S230 and a negative determination is made. In the case (S225: No), the process proceeds to S235.

  In S230, main controller 80 executes a big win lottery based on the big hit determination random number related to the selected hold storage and the determination table (probability change table) corresponding to the probability change mode, and determines whether or not to win the lottery. And the reserved memory is digested. Then, the process proceeds to S240.

On the other hand, in S235, main controller 80 executes a big hit lottery based on the big hit determination random number related to the selected hold storage and the determination table (normal table) corresponding to the normal mode, and wins the lottery. Whether or not the reserved memory is digested. Then, the process proceeds to S240.
As described above, in S230 and S235 of the present embodiment, whether or not a big hit game is to be generated is determined based on the numerical data stored in the holding storage buffer in S110 of the start winning confirmation process. It is processing to do.

  In S240, main controller 80 refers to the determination result in S230 or S235 to determine whether or not the big hit lottery has been won. If the determination is affirmative (S240: Yes), the process proceeds to S245. If the determination is negative (S240: No), the process proceeds to S260.

  In S245, main controller 80 determines a jackpot symbol based on the jackpot symbol determination random number related to the digested reserved memory, thereby determining a predetermined number of rounds of the jackpot game corresponding to the jackpot symbol and the like. . Then, the process proceeds to S250.

In S250, the main controller 80 determines the variation time of the special symbol based on the random number for determining the variation pattern related to the reserved storage that has been digested, and shifts the processing to S255.
In S255, the main control device 80 sets the number of rounds of the big hit game, the opening pattern of the big prize game, the presentation time related to the big hit game, the interval time, the presentation mode of the big hit game, and the process proceeds to S270.

On the other hand, when the negative determination is obtained in S240, the main controller 80 shifts based on the random number for determining the variation pattern related to the digestion of the reserved memory, in S260, which shifts when it is out of the lottery lottery. Then, the variation time of the special symbol is determined, and the process proceeds to S265.
In the present embodiment, in S260, a variation pattern (variation time) related to the reserved storage digested at the time of losing is determined, and prior to this, processing for determining a losing symbol is performed. Without being limited to this configuration, it may be configured to include a process of determining a lost symbol before the execution of S260.
As described above, S245, S250, and S260 are processes for determining the special symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the big hit symbol or the lost symbol, based on the determination result of whether or not the big hit is made.

  In S265, the main controller 80 updates a counter indicating the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the probability variation mode, a counter indicating the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed in the time reduction mode, and the like, and processing in S270 To migrate.

  In S275, the main control device 80 transmits a change start command indicating the change time of the special symbol, the result of the big hit lottery, etc. to the sub integrated control device 83, starts the change of the special symbol, and ends this processing. The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the change start command uses the effect symbol display device 6 from among the effects having the same time as the change time of the special symbol based on the change time of the special symbol as a result of the big hit lottery. The pseudo effect to be displayed is selected, and the selected pseudo effect is displayed. In addition, the change start command is a command in which the hold memory digested by the big hit lottery is generated by winning the first start port 11 or generated by winning the second start port 12. It may indicate whether there is.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 10, in S280 that shifts during the special figure fluctuation display, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the special figure fluctuation time has elapsed, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S280: Yes). The process proceeds to S285, and in the case of a negative determination (S280: No), this process ends.

In S285, the main control device 80 ends the special symbol variation display, displays the special symbol fixed symbol, that is, the jackpot symbol or the lost symbol determined in S245 or S260 described above, and causes the sub integrated control device 83 to display it. On the other hand, a symbol confirmation command for confirming display of the effect symbol is transmitted, and this processing is terminated.
As described above, S285 is a process of displaying the jackpot symbol or the lost symbol related to the special symbol determined based on the determination result of whether or not to win the jackpot.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 11, in S290 that shifts during the special figure confirmation display, main controller 80 determines whether or not the duration of the special figure confirmation display has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S290: Yes), the process proceeds to S295. If the determination is negative (S290: No), the process ends.

In S295, the main controller 80 ends the special figure confirmation display, and proceeds to S300.

  The main control device 80 executes a conditional device operation start process (S325), an accessory continuous operation device operation start process (S330), and a jackpot start effect process (S335) in sequence, thereby indicating a command game mode. Alternatively, the jackpot game is started by transmitting a command for instructing the start of the jackpot game to the sub-integrated control device 83, and this processing is terminated.

  On the other hand, in S340 to which the process proceeds when a negative determination is obtained in S300, the main controller 80 refers to the probability change flag, and when the flag is 1 (S340: Yes), the control is executed during the probability change mode. Reference is made to the remaining number of jackpot lotteries (the number of chances of variation) (S345). If the probability variation count is 0 (S345: Yes), the probability variation flag is cleared (S350), and the process proceeds to S355.

  In S355, the main controller 80 refers to the time reduction flag, and if the flag is 1 (S355: Yes), refers to the remaining number of lottery lotteries (number of time reductions) that can be executed in the time reduction mode ( S360).

If the determination is affirmative (S430: Yes), the process proceeds to S440. If the determination is negative (S430: No), the process proceeds to S435.

  In S435, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S435: Yes), the process proceeds to S440 and the determination is negative. (S435: No), this process is terminated.

In S440, the main controller 80 executes a special winning opening closing process for closing the special winning opening 14, and proceeds to S445.
In S445, the main control device 80 executes a big hit interval process for setting an interval for each round of the big hit game, and ends this process.

  On the other hand, in S450 which shifts during the interval of each round, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the interval time of the big hit game has elapsed, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S450: Yes), the process is processed in S455. If the determination is negative (S450: No), the process is terminated.

  In S455, the main controller 80 determines whether or not it is the final round of the jackpot game. If the determination is affirmative (S455: Yes), the process proceeds to S460, and if the determination is negative (S455: No), the process proceeds to S465.

In S460, main controller 80 executes a jackpot end effect process for performing an effect when the jackpot game is ended, and ends the present process.

(6) About Hold Display Processing Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, the hold display processing for displaying the hold symbol corresponding to the hold memory on the effect symbol display device 6 when the hold memory is generated. explain. This process is a process periodically executed by the sub integrated control device 83 (for example, a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms).
Note that the “hold display process” in FIG. 15 indicates that when the hold memory is generated, that is, the game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 during the special symbol variation display, and a new hold is made. This process is executed when the storage is performed.

In S600, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the above-described prefetch commands 1 to 4 are received from the main control device 80, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S600: Yes), the process proceeds to S605. When a negative determination is obtained (S600: No), this process ends.
As described above, the “prefetch commands 1 to 4” indicate that the game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 in the “start winning confirmation process” (FIG. 6) (S100: Yes). When the reserved memory does not reach the upper limit number (for example, 4) (S105: No), each time the reserved memory is stored, the main controller 80 to the sub integrated controller 83 in the prefetch determination process (S115). Is a command (also referred to as information or a signal) transmitted to.

In S605, the sub integrated control device 83 first extracts the “hold display determination random number” based on the reception of the prefetch commands 1 to 4, and uses the extracted random number for the predetermined storage provided for each hold storage. Store in the “hold display effect buffer”. Next, based on the stored random number and the content of each type of the received prefetch command, the type of the reserved symbol to be finally displayed (also called the final reserved symbol or the final reserved display) is selected and determined.
More specifically, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of holding symbols to be described later are provided, and S605 is immediately before the holding storage (holding storage that is the target of the received prefetch commands 1 to 4) is digested, that is, the This is a process for determining which one of the plurality of types of holding symbols is to be displayed at the timing immediately before the start of the variable display based on the holding memory.
The symbols selected and determined in this process also include a normal hold symbol (also referred to as a normal hold display) to be described later. For example, when the normal hold symbol is continuously displayed from the start of the display to the digestion and the hold change effect described later is not performed, in S605, the normal hold symbol is selected and determined as the final hold symbol. In addition, if the holding change is performed, the present embodiment is also provided when the normal holding symbol is selected and displayed first as the primary holding symbol and changes to any of the other special holdings 1 to 4 due to the holding change. Yes.

  In S605, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the last hold immediately before the start of the variable display corresponding to the new hold memory from the hold symbols (normal hold symbols, special hold symbols 1 to 4) shown in FIG. The type of symbol is selected, and the process proceeds to S610.

[Types of reserved symbols]
Here, with reference to FIG. 19, the type of the reserved symbol selected and determined in S605 will be described. For the sake of convenience, in the description of the present embodiment, the normal hold symbol may be abbreviated as normal hold, the special hold symbol may be referred to as special hold, and the final hold symbol may be referred to as final hold. In the present embodiment, corresponding to the hold storage, a plurality of types of hold symbols having different degrees of reliability that are big hits based on the hold storage are provided. These multiple types of pending symbols are all displayed immediately before the pending digestion, that is, immediately before the start of the fluctuation display, and can indicate the expectation that the result of the corresponding fluctuation display will be a big hit (the final Reserved symbol). Any reserved symbol of this embodiment is displayed as a “humanoid reserved symbol” shaped like a human. First, the normal hold is a white “humanoid hold symbol 1”, and the reliability is not set. The special hold 1 has the same outline as the normal hold, but is a “humanoid hold symbol 2” with hatching inside, and the reliability is set to 2%. The special hold 2 is substantially the same mode as the special hold 1, but is a “humanoid hold symbol 3” in which the lower body part of the human being is displayed in red, and the reliability is set to 10%. Yes. The special hold 3 is substantially the same mode as the special hold 2, but the “humanoid hold symbol 4” in which the whole body of the human being imaged is displayed in red, and the reliability is set to 20%. . The special hold 4 is different from the outline of the normal hold to the special hold 3, and is an outline of a person with both hands up, and is a “humanoid hold pattern 5” in which the whole body is displayed in red. Therefore, the reliability is set to 40%. As described above, the present embodiment is configured to suggest different degrees of reliability by displaying various “humanoid reserved symbols” having different outlines and internal display modes. Then, the “humanoid reserved symbol” is activated so as to be activated and changed to a “humanoid reserved symbol” having a higher expectation level by a precursor effect described later. The precursor effect is set with an image having different immediate effects regarding the activation of the “humanoid reserved symbol” according to the type. As described above, the reserved symbols of the present embodiment are provided with a plurality of types of reserved symbols having different probabilities, that is, reliability, that are big hits suggested by displaying the reserved symbols immediately before digestion.

  Although not shown in FIG. 19, a special holding symbol that changes from the primary holding symbol may be provided when executing the holding change effect of the gasses, instead of the final holding symbol for which the reliability is set. . The special reserved symbol is preferably in the form of a design that reminds the player of the process of changing from one of the reserved symbols shown in FIG. 19 to another reserved symbol. For example, if the primary reserved symbol is white and the final reserved symbol is red, try setting the special reserved symbol to pink or the primary reserved symbol 3 with the hand pointing downwards. When a reserved symbol is used, it is preferable to set the special reserved symbol with a design in which the hand is lifted halfway so as to recall the process of changing the design with the hand pointing upward to the special symbol 4. However, such a change process is not limited to a design that is easy to recall, and it is also possible to set a special reserved symbol with a design that can simply remind that it is neither a primary reserved symbol nor a final reserved symbol. In addition, after the special hold symbol is displayed, it is configured to perform an effect of returning to the primary hold symbol before the special hold symbol is displayed, that is, a gase hold change effect indicating that the hold change effect has failed. It is preferred that Therefore, the effect changed from the primary hold symbol to the special hold symbol does not correspond to the “hold change effect” of the present invention. The special reserved symbols will be described later with reference to FIGS. 38 to 41 showing an example of the display mode of the special reserved symbols. Note that the special hold symbol (special hold mode) illustrated in FIGS. 38 to 41 changes from any of normal hold and special hold 1 to 4 to other normal hold and special hold 1 to 4. It is an aspect showing a process (process) that expects. To elaborate, it is neither a holding mode, but it is a “temporarily collapsed state for change”.

Returning to FIG. 15, in S610, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not to execute the “hold change effect” based on the random number stored in the “hold display effect buffer”. Is executed, and the process proceeds to S615. (In the description of the present embodiment, the hold change effect may be simply referred to as hold change for convenience.)
The “holding change effect” of the present embodiment is from the start of display of the holding symbol related to the holding memory (normal holding symbol, special holding symbols 1 to 4) until it is erased with the start of the variable display based on the holding memory. In addition, it is an effect that changes from the initially displayed reserved symbol to another reserved symbol.
The lottery process is not limited to the configuration that is executed based only on the random number. For example, the lottery process may be performed based on the type of the last reserved symbol selected and determined in S605 and the random number.

  In S615, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not to execute the “holding change effect”. If the determination is affirmative (S615: Yes), the process proceeds to S620 and the determination is negative. In the case (S615: No), the process proceeds to S640.

In S620, the sub integrated control device 83 changes the primary hold symbol (also referred to as primary hold display) displayed before the change of the hold symbol, that is, from the normal hold symbol and the special hold symbols 1-3. The process of selecting and determining is executed, and the process proceeds to S625. That is, since the reserved change effect of this embodiment includes only the case of promotion, the primary reserved symbol selected when it is decided to execute the reserved change effect is a special other than at least the highest special reserved symbol 4 It is selected from a reserved symbol and a normal reserved symbol. More specifically, with reference to the previously determined final reserved symbol, a special reserved symbol lower than the final reserved symbol and a normal reserved symbol are selected.
The above-described S605 and S620 are control processes for selecting and determining one of the normal reserved symbols and the special reserved symbols 1 to 4 based on the content of each type of the received prefetch command.

  In S625, the sub integrated control device 83 performs processing for displaying the primary reserved symbol selected and determined in S620 on the effect symbol display device 6, and proceeds to S630.

  In S630, the sub integrated control device 83 determines the display position for changing the target primary hold symbol to the final hold symbol as a result of the hold change effect, in other words, the timing (timing) for executing the hold change effect. The process proceeds to S635.

[When to execute the hold change effect]
Here, with reference to FIG. 21A, the timing for executing the hold change effect of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, five types of execution times from the first execution time to the fifth execution time are provided as the time for executing the hold change effect, as shown in the figure. The contents set for each execution time are set as follows, starting from the point in time when the display of the reserved symbol that is the target of the change in hold is started, based on the occurrence of the hold memory resulting from the start winning.

  First, the first execution time is after 3 seconds have elapsed from the start of displaying the reserved symbols. The second execution time is after 8 seconds have elapsed from the start of displaying the reserved symbols. The third execution time is after 3 seconds have elapsed since the shift process was executed once after the display of the reserved symbols. The fourth execution time is after 3 seconds have elapsed since the shift process was executed twice after the display of the reserved symbols. The fifth execution time is after three seconds have elapsed since the shift process was executed three times after the display of the reserved symbols.

  The type and content of the execution time of the hold change effect according to the present embodiment are set as described above. However, it is also possible to set the timing for executing the hold change effect according to the display position at which the hold symbol is placed, that is, the type of the display position, in addition to the above-described aspect of the execution time. Therefore, the “display position” will be further described here. In the present embodiment, the four display positions are the display positions of the reserved symbols set in the effect symbol display device 6 (see, for example, FIG. 28), and correspond to the four retention upper limit numbers of the reserved memory. Then, assuming that the display position where the oldest and earliest digested symbols are displayed is the first display position, the display position where the latest and latest digested symbols are displayed is a total of four. This is the display position (area).

  Further, the reserved symbols displayed at the “display position” will be described. In this embodiment, it is set as the structure provided with the holding | maintenance symbol which is an image displayed on the production | presentation symbol display apparatus 6 as a holding | maintenance marker which suggests the presence or absence of a holding | maintenance memory | storage, and the expectation degree used as the big hit of this holding | maintenance memory | storage. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the holding sign may be configured by a light emitting member such as a lamp or LED. In other words, the presence or absence of reserved storage may be suggested by turning on and off the light emitting member, and the expectation level that will be a big hit may be suggested by the light emitting mode (color or the like). Furthermore, in the case of such a configuration, for example, four LEDs are scattered in the vicinity of the effect symbol display device 6 and along the outer periphery, and the effect display in the effect symbol display device 6 can affect the LEDs. Arrangement is preferred. Thereby, when a sign effect is executed by the effect symbol display device 6, the player can easily recognize the LED that is the target of the effect, and the present invention is realized even with such a configuration. It is possible.

  Note that in S630, when the execution time of the hold change related to the hold memory is determined to be any one of the first to fifth execution times, the number of the hold in which the hold memory starts from the oldest hold memory Processing to determine whether it is a memory, and in the first place, to determine the execution time when the pending change can be executed, judging from the period until the pending memory is digested, in other words, the number of shift processes until it is digested Is configured to be performed. To give a specific example, the primary hold display displayed this time will be the second hold symbol if the oldest hold symbol is assumed to be the first. In this case, the reserved symbol becomes the oldest reserved symbol by one shift, and the reserved symbol is digested by two shifts, so that it is erased. Therefore, in S630, even if the fourth and fifth execution times are selected, the pending change cannot be executed, so the remaining first to third execution times excluding the fourth and fifth execution times It is controlled to select and decide from among them. As described above, referring to the period until the reserved memory is consumed, S630 of the present embodiment determines the type of execution timing of the hold change.

Returning to FIG. 15 again, the hold display process after the hold change execution time determination process in S630 will be described. In S635, the sub integrated control device 83 performs the process described below based on the type of the pending change execution time determined in S630, and shifts the process to S655.
That is, referring to the type of execution time of the pending change determined in S630, the first execution time counter is counted up for the first execution time, and the second execution time counter is counted up for the second execution time. Set as possible. Also, 1 is set in the third execution time flag if it is the third execution time, 4th execution time flag if it is the 4th execution time, and 5th execution time flag if it is the 5th execution time. . The information on the execution time counter and the execution time flag set as described above is stored in the hold change buffer corresponding to the hold storage in the first to fourth hold change buffers.

  Here, the hold change buffer corresponding to the hold storage is the hold storage that has occurred this time among the hold memories of the upper limit number of four, in other words, on the time series stored on hold. Thus, the present embodiment is provided with different hold change buffers depending on the order of the hold storage. Specifically, the first pending change buffer corresponds to the oldest pending storage, the second pending change buffer corresponds to the second oldest pending storage, and the third pending change buffer corresponds to the third oldest pending memory. A pending change buffer is provided, and a fourth pending change buffer corresponding to the most recent pending storage. As will be described later, the information stored in the hold change buffer is sequentially shifted as the hold storage is shifted. As a result, even if the shift changes every moment and the rank changes, unique information corresponding to each reserved storage can be stored.

  In the present embodiment, the execution time counter is set so as to be able to count up. The counter that has been set is counted in S705 of “pending shift display process” (FIG. 16) after the completion of this process. It means that it is set to the state to be uploaded. When the setting is not made, when the first to fourth pending change buffers are confirmed in S705, the counter is not counted up and the count value is not added. Therefore, only the first and second execution times among the execution times described with reference to FIG. 21 (a), after a predetermined time has elapsed (after 3 seconds or 8 seconds) from the display of the reserved symbols, Since it is set as the time for executing the hold change, in S635 executed when the hold symbol is displayed, a setting process capable of starting the count up immediately is performed. On the other hand, the third execution time to the fifth execution time are set to be the time when the hold change is executed after 3 seconds from the predetermined number of times (1 to 3 times), respectively. As described above, by setting the execution time flag corresponding to various execution times (setting 1), it is configured to indicate that the execution time counter is in a standby state in which the execution time counter can be counted up. Each execution time counter is a time measuring means capable of measuring 3 seconds by reaching a count value corresponding to 3 seconds as a result of counting up for a predetermined time, for example, 3 seconds.

When it is determined negative in S615, that is, when it is determined not to execute the hold change effect, in S640, the sub integrated control device 83 performs a process of displaying the final reserved symbol determined in S605 on the effect symbol display device 6, and S645. The process is transferred to. In S640, when the holding change effect is not performed, once the display is performed, the holding symbol that will be maintained until the final stage is displayed.
As described above, when the numerical data (random value) extracted based on the entrance to the starting port is stored as the reserved memory, the above-described S625 and S640 are the control processes for displaying the reserved symbol corresponding to the reserved memory. It is.

  In S645, the sub integrated control device 83 executes a lottery process for determining whether or not to execute the “prediction effect”, and the process proceeds to S650.

In S650, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not to execute the “prediction effect”. If the determination is affirmative (S650: Yes), the process proceeds to S655, and the determination is negative. (S650: No), that is, when the hold change effect is not performed and even when the harpoon effect is not performed, this process is terminated and the process proceeds to the “hold shift display process”.
As described above, the present embodiment is configured to have a possibility of executing the “prediction effect” even when the “holding change effect” is not executed. As a result, even if the normal symbol is selected as the final reserved symbol and it is internally determined that the “pending change effect” is not executed, the “prediction effect” as the so-called “gasse effect” is executed. Then, the player expects that the reserved symbol will change. Thereby, it becomes possible to make a player maintain expectation for a long time.

  In S655, the sub integrated control device 83 selects any one of the execution times of the precursor effect, that is, the first to fourth appearance times, which is performed prior to the on-hold change effect or as the gusset effect. A process for determining the type of effect is performed, and the process proceeds to S660.

[About the appearance time of the prelude production]
Here, with reference to FIG. 21B, the appearance time of the precursor effect of the present embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, four types of appearance times from the first appearance time to the fourth appearance time are provided as the time of execution of the warning effect, in other words, the type of appearance time of appearance of the warning effect. It has been. The setting contents of each appearance time is based on the occurrence of the reserved memory due to the start winning prize, as if the display of the reserved symbol that is subject to the change of hold due to the influence of the precursor effect was started The starting point is set as follows.

First, the first appearance time is after one second has elapsed from the start of displaying the reserved symbol. The second appearance time is after one second has elapsed since the shift process was executed once after the display of the reserved symbols. The third appearance time is after one second has elapsed after the shift process is executed twice after the display of the reserved symbols. The fourth appearance time is after one second has elapsed since the shift process was executed three times after the display of the reserved symbols.
In S655 of the present embodiment, one of these appearance times is selected. Furthermore, in S655, in addition to the selection of the type of appearance time, the selection of the type of precursor effect described below is also performed.

[About the display mode etc. of the indication effect]
Next, with reference to FIG. 20 once, the display mode of the precursor effect of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, five types of precursor effects A to E are provided. As shown in the figure, first, the sign effect A is a display form that represents “rice”, and the holding change rate when the sign effect is executed is set to 2%, and the sign effect is executed. The hold change is set to be executed at any timing after 1 shift, 2 shifts, and 3 shifts. The sign effect B is a display form that represents “drinking medicine”, the holding change rate when the sign effect is executed is set to 15%, and after one shift after the sign effect is executed, And the hold change is set to be executed at any timing after 2 shifts. The sign effect C is a display form that represents “injection”, and the hold change rate when the sign effect is executed is set to 30%. Immediately after the sign effect is executed, a few seconds later, And the hold change is set to be executed at any timing after one shift. The indication effect D is a display form that represents “surgery”, and the holding change rate when the indication effect is executed is set to 30%. Immediately after the indication effect is executed, and a few seconds later It is set so that the pending change is executed at any one of the timings. The sign effect E is a display form that represents “magic”, and the hold change rate when the sign effect is executed is set to 50%, and the sign is reserved at the timing immediately after the sign effect is executed. The change is set to be executed. As described above, these five types of precursor effects have a role of changing the “humanoid reserved symbol” to a more highly anticipated “humanoid reserved symbol”, that is, activating it. Yes. That is, with regard to the immediate effect of activation, the sign effect A (rice) is the lowest, and the effect of activation becomes higher as it goes toward the sign effect E (magic).

  In addition, this embodiment is provided with five types of precursor effects as shown in FIG. These precursor effects are effects that suggest that when a reserved symbol appears as a target, the reserved symbol may change on hold later, that is, after a predetermined time has elapsed. And this embodiment is also provided with the harpoon effect, and it is not necessarily configured that the hold change is performed just because the symptom effect appears. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and when a specific sign effect appears, the reserved symbol that is the target of the sign effect may be changed to hold. Thereby, the player can look forward to the occurrence of a specific precursor effect promised to execute the hold change, and improve the interest of the game.

  Further, the “holding change timing starting from the execution of the precursor effect” shown in FIG. 20 is the “holding change timing set based on the display of the holding symbol described in FIGS. 21A and 21B. This is the timing realized by the interrelationship between “specific execution time” and “specific appearance time of precursor effect set with display of reserved symbol as starting point”. In other words, by combining both the above times, as a result, from the viewpoint of the player, “execution of pending change” is performed at the timing after a predetermined time from the “appearance of the sign effect” by the influence of the sign effect. It works to give an impression as if it were broken. However, the hold change and the prelude production only have various timings set individually. In the present embodiment, the timing realized as a result of appropriately combining them is shown in FIG. When the player sees the flow of the production, the sign production appears, and the hold change is performed after a predetermined time, but internally, whether or not the hold change can be executed and the execution time of the hold change are determined, Subsequently, control such as determination of the appearance time of the sign effect and determination of the type of the sign effect that appears is performed. As described above, the control of this embodiment is performed in a flow reverse to the flow in production. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same control as the flow of appearance may be performed. In other words, the primary reserved symbol is displayed, the sign effect appears on the reserved symbol, and the individual control processing is performed according to the flow of executing the hold change after a lapse of a predetermined time from the appearance of the sign effect. good.

  Further, the hold change rate set for each precursor effect shown in FIG. 20 is all the timings of the hold change set from the execution of the precursor effect (for example, if it is the precursor effect A, after one shift, Only after no shift is executed after 2 shifts and after 3 shifts) is calculated as no hold change. If a hold change occurs at any of multiple types of timing, the hold change It is a numerical value of the result calculated as having been done.

  Further, the “timing of hold change starting from the execution of the precursor effect” shown in FIG. 20 is a timing at which the hold change may be executed when the precursor effect appears. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the precursor effect appears, the hold change is not executed at other timing. Therefore, since there is a timing at which a pending change is likely to be executed, there is a case where the pending change does not occur even at that timing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured to always change the hold when the precursor effect appears and the timing comes.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the holding change rate set for each precursor effect shown in FIG. 20 is equal to any timing when there are a plurality of types of timings at which the precursor effect can be changed. The rate of change is set. For example, in the case of the indication effect C (injection), the change rate after hold, immediately after a few seconds, and after one shift, is configured to be 30% when the total change rate is 10%. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a different hold change rate may be set according to the type of timing. For example, 5% may be set immediately after, 10% after several seconds, and 15% after one shift. Thereby, the expectation of the holding | maintenance change which a player has according to the classification of timing differs, and interest is improved. In addition, in the order in which the timing occurs, the hold change rate becomes higher as the timing that occurs later, so even if there is no hold change at an early stage timing, the player will gradually increase the sense of expectation without giving up The interest of the game is improved, and it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation to change for a longer period of time.

[About setting feature 1]
Furthermore, the setting feature 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Explaining by way of example, it is set so that the hold change is executed with respect to the primary hold symbol of the target of the precursor effect immediately after the occurrence of the precursor effect E (magic) once, and 1 Immediately after the first sign production A (rice) has appeared, the hold change is set so as not to be executed with respect to the primary reserved symbol for the sign production. In other words, depending on the type of the warning effect, there are cases where the hold change is executed and not executed even when the same predetermined time has elapsed since the execution of the warning effect. In FIG. 20, not only this example but also other combinations of sign effects are set to satisfy the same condition. By setting in this way, depending on the type of the sign effect that has appeared, there are cases where the hold change is executed or not executed even if a predetermined time has elapsed since the appearance, so the player expects the hold change. Thus, attention is paid to what kind of sign effect appears, and the period during which the sense of expectation for the on-hold change can be maintained is changed, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

[About setting feature 2]
Further, the setting feature 2 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Explaining by way of example, when one precursor effect A (rice) appears and when one precursor effect E (magic) appears, after the precursor effect is executed, The number of timings at which the target primary holding symbol may change on hold is three times “after 1-3 shifts” in the case of the precursor effect A, but “immediately” in the case of the precursor effect E. It is only once. That is, the number of timings at which there is a possibility that the reserved symbol that is the target of the precursor effect changes on hold is set to be the number of different timings according to the type of the precursor effect. In FIG. 20, not only this example but also other combinations of sign effects are set to satisfy the same condition. By setting in this way, the number of timings at which a hold change may be expected to be executed differs depending on the type of the sign effect that has appeared. Attention will be paid to what type of game, and the period during which the expectation for pending change can be maintained (short if the number of timings is small, long if the number of times is large) will be different, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

[About setting feature 3]
Further, the setting feature 3 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Explaining by way of example, when one precursor effect A (rice) appears and when one precursor effect E (magic) appears, after the precursor effect is executed, The number of timings at which the target primary holding symbol may change on hold is three times “after 1-3 shifts” in the case of the precursor effect A, but “immediately” in the case of the precursor effect E. The sign effect A is set more than the sign effect E only once. However, the possibility that the primary reserved symbol subject to the prelude effect is changed after the prelude effect is executed (holding change rate) is “2%” in the case of the predecessor effect A, In the case of the warning effect E, “50%” is set, and the warning effect A is set lower than the warning effect E. In FIG. 20, not only this example but also other combinations of sign effects are set to satisfy the same condition. By setting in this way, depending on the type of the sign effect that has appeared, for example, the first sign effect is a predetermined number of times that the hold change may be executed, and the hold change is executed. On the other hand, when the possibility of being held is a predetermined probability, the second predictive effect is more than the predetermined number of times when the hold change may be expected to be executed, but the hold change is executed. The possibility of being set is set lower than the predetermined probability. Therefore, when the first precursor effect appears, the timing at which the hold change can be expected is less than in the case of the second precursor effect, but the probability indicating the possibility of the hold change is higher than that in the case of the second precursor effect. Players concentrate on the number of opportunities. In addition, when the second precursor effect appears, the probability indicating the possibility of the hold change is lower than in the case of the first precursor effect, but the timing at which the hold change can be expected is greater than in the case of the first predictor effect. Players maintain their expectations over many opportunities. Thus, by setting, the setting is not simple and the interest of the game is improved by the combination of the period in which the expectation for the pending change can be maintained and the high expectation.
In addition, for example, in the first precursor effect, the number of times at which it can be expected that the hold change may be executed is a predetermined number of times, and the possibility that the hold change is executed is predetermined. On the other hand, in the case of the probability, in the second precursor effect, the number of timings at which it can be expected that the hold change may be executed is more than the predetermined number, and the possibility that the hold change is executed is also described above. It may be set higher than a predetermined probability.

[About setting feature 4]
Further, the setting feature 4 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Explaining by way of example, when one sign effect C (injection) appears and when one sign effect D (surgery) appears, the sign effect is performed after one sign effect is executed. In the case of the warning effect C, the number of timings at which the target primary holding symbol is likely to change is three times, “immediately”, “several seconds later”, and “after one shift”. In the case of D, the indication effect C is set more than the indication effect D twice, “immediately after” and “several seconds later”. However, the possibility that the primary reserved symbol of the target of the sign effect changes after the one sign effect is executed (holding change rate) is the same for both the sign effect C and the sign effect D at “30%”. is there. In other words, in the different types of precursor effects, the number of timings at which the primary reserved symbol subject to the precursor effect may change on hold after each of the precursor effects is executed is different, but the hold change rate is set to be the same. Have a case to be. In FIG. 20, only the combination is the case that meets such a condition. However, in addition to this, a case in which similar conditions are met may be provided. By setting in this way, the number of timings with the possibility of pending change will differ depending on the type of precursor effect, even with the same pending change rate. Since the player pays attention to which precursory effects appear, the interest of the game is improved.

[Executive pattern and execution pattern of pending change]
Further, with reference to FIG. 22 again, the execution pattern of the precursor effect and the hold change according to this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the pending change execution time type determined in S630 described above, the type of the sign effect appearance time selected in S655, and the type of sign effect selected in S655 are also shown in FIG. With the contents shown in the selection table, the execution pattern of the precursor effect and the hold change is set. “After 1 shift”, “after 2 shift”, “after 3 shift”, “after several seconds”, and “immediately after” shown in the figure correspond to the timing of the pending change shown in FIG. In other words, it is a timing that is embodied by the relationship between the execution time of the selected pending change and the appearance time of the determined precursor effect, and when the player sees the flow of the effect, the precursor effect is executed. The timing type of the pending change starting from is shown. In addition, “-” indicates a case where a prelude effect is executed, but even if an execution time when it is assumed that a hold change is executed, a hold change is not performed for the target hold symbol. ing. Furthermore, “/” indicates a case where the precursor effect is not executed in the first place. For example, as in the case of the first execution time (3 seconds after the hold symbol is displayed) and the fourth appearance time (1 second after the hold symbol is shifted 3), the target hold symbol is displayed. When a change in hold is made 3 seconds after the start, the prelude effect of the hold change is a timing that does not function as a predecessor effect in the first place, as if the hold symbol is shifted 3 times after the hold symbol, Is set in the table so as not to execute. In the present embodiment, “several seconds later” means 7 seconds after the occurrence of the sign effect. Also, “immediately after” means two seconds after the occurrence of the precursor effect. Of course, “after several seconds” in the present embodiment is not limited to “after 7 seconds”, but may be set to another time. Similarly, “immediately after” is not limited to “after 2 seconds” but may be set to another time. In this embodiment, the setting condition (execution time) in any of “after 1 shift”, “after 2 shift”, “after 3 shift”, “several seconds”, and “immediately” shown in FIG. "Gase effect" by causing the change to be suspended, even if the execution time of the setting condition arrives, after a predetermined sign effect appears in the type, appearance time type and sign effect type) It has a configuration to execute. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a “gase effect” may not be executed.

  In this embodiment, by selecting one of the patterns described in the precursor effect and the pending change execution pattern table shown in FIG. 22, the type of precursor effect and the timing at which the precursor effect appears. The setting of whether or not the hold change is executed is set in the “hold change execution time determination process” (S630) of the “hold display process (FIG. 15)” and the “prediction effect selection process” (S655) described next. ) Is selected.

Returning to FIG. 15 again, the hold display process after the sign effect selection process in S655 will be described. In S660, the process proceeds to S660 after the end of S655, the sub integrated control device 83 performs the process described below based on the type of the appearance of the sign effect and the type of the sign effect determined in S655, and ends this process. The process proceeds to “hold shift display process”.
That is, with reference to the appearance time type of the sign effect determined in S655, the first appearance time counter is set to be able to count up if it is the first appearance time. Further, 1 is set in the second appearance time flag if it is the second appearance time, in the third appearance time flag if it is the third appearance time, and in the fourth appearance time flag if it is the fourth appearance time. . Information on the appearance time counter and the appearance time flag set in this way is stored in the precursor effect buffer corresponding to the reserved storage in the first to fourth precursor effect buffers. In addition to the information of the appearance time counter and the appearance time flag, the type information of the sign effect selected in S655 is also stored in the target sign effect buffer.

  In addition, the structure which concerns on such a 1st-4th precursor effect buffer is the structure similar to the 1st-4th pending | holding change buffer mentioned above. In other words, a hold change buffer and a precursor effect buffer are provided for each of the four hold memories, so that necessary information regarding the hold change and the predictor effect relating to each hold memory can be reliably stored and held. .

  Also, the first to fourth appearance time counters have the same configuration as the first to fifth execution time counters described above. However, when the first to fourth appearance time counters are set to be able to count up, they are counted up in S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16).

  Here, the precursor effect buffer corresponding to the reserved memory is the reserved memory that has occurred this time among the reserved memories of the upper limit number of four, in other words, on the time series stored on hold. Thus, the present embodiment is provided with a precursor effect buffer that varies depending on the order of the pending storage. Specifically, the first predictive effect buffer corresponds to the oldest reserved memory, the second predictive effect buffer corresponds to the second oldest reserved memory, and the third predictive effect buffer corresponds to the third oldest reserved memory. A precursor effect buffer is provided, and a fourth precursor effect buffer is provided corresponding to the newest reserved memory. As will be described later, the information stored in the precursor effect buffer is sequentially shifted as the hold storage is shifted. As a result, even if the shift changes every moment and the rank changes, unique information corresponding to each reserved storage can be stored. The configuration of such a precursor effect buffer is the same as the configuration of the pending change buffer described above.

Also, in the present embodiment, the appearance time counter is set so that it can be counted up. The counter that has been set is counted in S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) after the completion of this process. It means that it is set to the state to be uploaded. When the setting is not made, when the first to fourth precursor effect buffers are confirmed in S700, the count value is not added and the count value is not added. Therefore, among the appearance times described with reference to FIG. 21B, only the first appearance time is the time when the hold change is executed after a predetermined time has elapsed (after 1 second) from the display of the hold symbol. Since it is set, in S660, which is executed when the reserved symbol is displayed, a setting process that can immediately start counting up is performed. On the other hand, the second appearance time to the fourth appearance time are set to be the time when the warning effect appears after 1 second from the predetermined number of times (1 to 3 times) after the shift, so in S660, As described above, by setting the appearance time flags corresponding to various appearance times (setting 1), it is configured to indicate a standby state in which the appearance time counter can be counted up. Each appearance time counter is a time measuring means capable of measuring one second by reaching a count value corresponding to one second as a result of counting up for a predetermined time, for example, one second.
The above is the description regarding the “hold display process” of the present embodiment. Next, the “hold shift display process” executed following the “hold display process” will be described with reference to FIG.

(7) On-hold shift display processing Next, if there is a counter that can be counted up at the time of the timer interruption of the sub integrated control device 83, the counter is counted up, and the on-hold symbol corresponding to the on-hold storage is displayed at the time of the on-hold digest The hold shift display process in which the shift display is performed by the device 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is a process that is executed periodically (for example, a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms) in the sub integrated control device 83 following the “pending display process”.

  In S700, the sub integrated control device 83 confirms the contents of the first to fourth precursor effect buffers, and if there are first to fourth appearance time counters set to be able to count up, increment the count value of the counter. The process proceeds to S705.

  In S705, the sub integrated control device 83 confirms the contents of the first to fourth pending change buffers, and if there is a first to fourth execution time counter set to be able to count up, increments the count value of the counter. Process, and the process proceeds to S710.

  In S700, the contents of the first to fourth predictive effect buffers are checked, and in S705, the contents of the first to fourth hold change buffers are checked. These buffers correspond to the hold memories stored at the present time as described above. Is provided. That is, if one hold memory is stored at the present time, the first precursor effect buffer and the first hold change buffer are set corresponding to the hold memory. In addition, if four hold memories are stored at the present time, the first to fourth precursor effect buffers and the first to fourth hold change buffers are set corresponding to each hold memory. . For one hold memory, one sign effect buffer for storing information related to the sign effect and one hold change buffer for storing information related to the hold change are provided.

  In S710, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a hold number command (hold information) has been received from the main control device 80. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S710: Yes), the process proceeds to S715. When a negative determination is obtained (S710: No), this process ends. The hold number command is information (command) transmitted from the main control device 80 in the hold information transmission process (S270) of the above-described success / failure determination process (FIG. 9).

  In S715, the sub integrated control device 83 deletes the reserved symbol corresponding to the oldest reserved memory displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, and if any other reserved symbols are displayed, the remaining integrated symbols are displayed. The display positions of all the reserved symbols are shifted one by one to the left toward the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 28), and the process proceeds to S720. In S715, the information stored in the first to fourth precursor effect buffers and the first to fourth hold change buffers is also shifted in conjunction with the hold symbol shift display process. That is, the stored information in the first precursor effect buffer and the first hold change buffer is erased, and when there are other predictor effect buffers and hold change buffers, the latest predictor effect buffer and the hold change are shifted by one each. Clear the buffer. Thereby, the precursor effect buffer and the hold change buffer respectively corresponding to the hold storage at the present time after the shift are surely set.

  In S720, the sub integrated control device 83 sequentially checks the first to fourth precursor effect buffers, and individually determines whether or not 1 is set to the second to fourth appearance time flags. When 1 is set in the determination, it is determined whether or not the count-up start time of the appearance time counter has arrived by checking the stored selection contents, and the time that can be counted up has arrived If it is determined, the scheduled second to fourth appearance time counters are set to be countable up, the appearance time flag corresponding to the appearance time counter is cleared to 0, and the process proceeds to S725. Thus, the appearance time counter set so as to be able to count up in S720 is a target to be counted up in S700 when performing this processing in the next interrupt processing.

  The determination of “whether or not the count-up start time of the appearance time counter has arrived” will be described with an example. In the state where there are three reserved memories, when a new start prize is generated and stored, the third appearance time as the appearance time type and the prelude effect B ( When “drinking medicine” is selected, in S660, it is assumed that the third appearance time flag is set to 1 in the fourth warning effect buffer, and the warning sign B (drinking drug) is stored as the warning sign type information. In this case, since the third appearance time is “one second after the reserved symbol is shifted two times”, two shifts after the reserved symbol is displayed, that is, until the affirmative determination in S710 is executed twice. The third appearance time flag is not cleared to 0, and if it is executed twice, the third appearance time flag is cleared to 0, and instead, the sign effect buffer (the second sign effect is already shifted twice at this time). In the buffer), the third appearance time counter is set so as to be able to count up, and the time measurement for 1 second can be started. The counter is incremented in S700 when the next main process is executed. As described above, for example, by determining whether or not the number of shifts has reached the predetermined number of times as described above based on a predetermined count-up startable time of the counter, the arrival of the time is determined. It is configured.

  In S725, the sub integrated control device 83 sequentially checks the first to fourth pending change buffers, and individually determines whether or not 1 is set to the third to fifth execution timing flags. When 1 is set in the determination, it is determined whether or not the count-up start time of the execution time counter has been reached by checking the stored determination contents, and the time when the count-up is possible has arrived Is determined so that the scheduled third to fifth execution time counters can be counted up, the execution time flag corresponding to the execution time counter is cleared to 0, and this process is terminated. As described above, the execution time counter set so as to be capable of being counted up in S725 is a target to be counted up in S705 when this processing is performed in the next interrupt processing.

The determination of “whether the execution time counter has started to be counted up” will be described with an example. In the state where there are three hold memories, when a new start winning is generated and held and stored, the fifth execution time is determined as the execution time type in S630 of the hold display process described above. Assume that the fifth execution time flag is set to 1 and stored in the 4-hold change buffer. In this case, since the fifth execution time is “3 seconds after the reserved symbol is shifted three times”, three shifts after the reserved symbol is displayed, that is, until the affirmative determination in S710 is executed three times. The fifth execution time flag is not cleared to 0, and if it is executed three times, the fifth execution time flag is cleared to 0, and instead, the pending change buffer (the first pending change is already shifted three times at this time). In the buffer), the fifth execution time counter is set to be able to count up, and the time measurement for 3 seconds can be started. The counter is incremented in S705 when the next main process is executed. As described above, for example, by determining whether or not the number of shifts has reached the predetermined number of times as described above based on a predetermined count-up startable time of the counter, the arrival of the time is determined. It is configured.
The above is the “hold shift display process” of the present embodiment. Next, the “prediction effect process” executed subsequent to the “hold shift display process” will be described with reference to FIG.

(8) About the precursor effect processing Next, with regard to the precursor effect processing for displaying the expected precursor effect on the effect symbol display device 6 when the appearance time of the preselected precursor effect arrives, using the flowchart shown in FIG. explain. This process is a process that is executed periodically (for example, a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms) in the sub integrated control device 83 following the “hold shift display process”.

  In S800, the sub integrated control device 83 sequentially confirms the contents of the first to fourth precursor effect buffers, and whether or not the stored count values of the first to fourth appearance time counters have reached a predetermined value, That is, it is determined whether or not the appearance timing of the sign production has come, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S800: Yes), the process proceeds to S805 and if a negative determination is obtained (S800). : No), this process is terminated and the process proceeds to the “pending change process”.

  In S805, the sub integrated control device 83 confirms the content of the precursor effect buffer storing the appearance time counter determined to have reached the predetermined value in S800, and selects the stored indication effect type. , The process proceeds to S810.

  In S810, the sub integrated control device 83 starts displaying the indication effect selected in S805, and the process proceeds to S815.

  In S815, the sub integrated control device 83 performs a process of making the appearance time counter determined to have reached the predetermined value in S800 impossible to count up, ends the process, and shifts to the “pending change process”.

  As described above, the “predictive effect processing” of the present embodiment is a possibility that the retained symbol is suspended and changed to another reserved symbol having a different reliability with respect to the retained symbol that is predetermined and stored as the target of the precursory effect. It is a means for executing a precursor effect that suggests that there is.

(9) On Hold Change Process Next, on the hold change process in which the effect of changing the primary hold symbol to the scheduled final hold symbol is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the pre-selected hold change execution time arrives. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is a process that is executed periodically (for example, a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms) in the sub integrated control device 83 following the “prediction effect process”.

  In S900, the sub integrated control device 83 sequentially confirms the contents of the first to fourth pending change buffers, and whether or not the stored count values of the first to fifth execution time counters have reached a predetermined value, That is, it is determined whether or not the execution time of the hold change has come, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S900: Yes), the process proceeds to S905 and if a negative determination is obtained (S900) : No), this process ends.

  In S905, the sub integrated control device 83 confirms the contents of the hold change buffer storing the execution time counter determined to have reached the predetermined value in S900, and stores the predetermined final hold symbol type stored therein. Then, the process proceeds to S910.

  In S910, the sub integrated control device 83 starts a change display for changing the displayed primary reserved symbol to the final reserved symbol selected in S905, and shifts the processing to S915.

  In S915, the sub integrated control device 83 performs a process for making the execution time counter determined to have reached the predetermined value in S900 impossible to count up, and ends this process.

  As described above, the “holding change process” of the present embodiment is means for changing (holding change) the displayed primary holding symbol to a final holding symbol having a different reliability from the primary holding symbol.

  Hereinafter, with respect to the “prediction effect and hold change effect” of this embodiment, refer to the timing charts of FIGS. 23 to 27 and the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS. However, it will be described in detail.

(10) When the fifth execution time, the first appearance time, and the precursor effect A are selected As shown in FIG. 22, when the fifth execution time, the first appearance time, and the precursor effect A are selected, the precursor effect The pending change is executed 3 shifts after A appears. The pattern will be described below with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 23, the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  First, referring again to FIG. 21, the pattern is the execution time of the hold change, starting from the display start of the hold symbol, and 3 seconds after the hold symbol is shifted 3 times, Similarly, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol, it is one second after the reserved symbol is displayed, and the precursor effect type that appears is a pattern in which the precursor effect A is selected. Therefore, both the execution time and the appearance time are set starting from the display start of the reserved symbols. In the present embodiment, the combination of both can be shown to the player as if a pending change was executed “after 3 shifts”, starting from the appearance of the precursor effect A, as shown in FIG. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 28A, the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is being variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the three reserved symbols 800 corresponding to the stored reserved memory are displayed. -802 are displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated, the fourth new hold memory is stored, “Special Hold 1” is selected as the last hold display in S605 of the hold display process (FIG. 15), and the primary hold display is displayed in S620. When “normal hold” is selected as the first hold display process in S625, the hold symbol 803 is displayed in the “normal hold” mode as shown in FIG. The display start is indicated at a timing when the reserved symbol display is changed from non-display to display in FIG.

  At this time, in S630 in the same hold display process (FIG. 15), the “fifth execution time” is determined as the hold change execution time. In S635, “5th execution time flag” is set to 1, and the information Is stored in the “fourth on-hold change buffer” corresponding to the fourth new on-hold storage, and “first appearance time” is selected as the pre-announcement effect appearance time in S655, and the pre-signation effect type is “Precursor effect A” is selected, and in S660, the “first appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, and this information is associated with the fourth new reserved memory together with the predictor effect type. The case where it memorize | stores in the "4th precursor effect buffer" is assumed.

  Since the “first appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated each time S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and the “prediction effect process” (FIG. 17). ) In S800, that is, when it is determined that the count value corresponding to “1 second” has been reached, the display of “prediction effect A” is started in S810 because the “first appearance time” has arrived. The The display start of the “prediction effect A” is indicated at the timing of “first appearance time” when “one second” has elapsed since the reserved symbol display changed from non-display to display in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 28C, as a state one second after the hold display, the sign effect display in the form of the “prediction effect A” immediately above the hold symbol 803 that is the target of the sign effect. 900 is displayed.

  When the variation display being executed in FIG. 28C ends and the decorative symbol 100 is confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 28D, the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 800 is digested next. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, in addition, the shift process of the indication effect display being displayed, and the first to first The contents of the 4 precursor effect buffer and the first to fourth hold change buffers are also shifted together. Then, since “5th execution time flag” is set to 1, it is a target of confirmation in S725, but “5th execution time” which is the determination content is “3 after the reserved symbol is shifted by 3”. Since it is “after seconds”, it is determined that the count-up time has not yet arrived. When such a process is performed, as shown in FIG. 28 (e), the reserved symbol 800 is deleted, the reserved symbols 801 to 803 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started. At the same time, the indication effect display 900 is also shifted and displayed directly above the reserved symbol 803.

  When 2-3 shift processing is further performed from the state of FIG. 28E, S715 of “hold shift display processing” (FIG. 16) is executed each time, as in the case of 1 shift processing. . However, at the time of the 3-shift process, the count-up time has arrived because the “fifth execution time” which is the determination content is “3 seconds after the hold symbol is shifted 3 times” in the confirmation process of S725. Is determined, and the “fifth execution time counter” is set to be countable. The “fifth execution time counter” set to be able to count up is incremented at S705 of “pending shift display processing” (FIG. 16) for each interrupt until the count value corresponding to “3 seconds” is reached. Done. When it is determined that the count value has reached the predetermined count value in S900 of the “hold change process” (FIG. 18), the contents of the “first hold change buffer” corresponding to the hold symbol 803 are displayed in S905. Check. As a result of the confirmation, based on “special hold 1”, which is the hold display type after the stored hold change, from “normal hold” as the primary hold display to “special hold 1” as the final hold display in S910. Then, the control process is performed so that the pending change is performed.

  When such a control process is performed, from the state shown in FIG. 28 (e), the variable display during execution ends, and the decorative symbol 100 is fixedly displayed as shown in FIG. 28 (f). Next, the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 801 is digested, and the second shift process from the start of the display of the hold symbol 803 is performed as shown in FIG. 28 (g) as in the case of FIG. 28 (e) described above. The Further, as shown in FIG. 28A, the change display after the two shifts is finished as shown in FIG. 28H, and the change display based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 802 is started, as shown in FIG. A third shift is made from the occurrence of the reserved symbol. FIG. 29A shows a display mode immediately after 3 shifts. When “3 seconds” counted by the “fifth execution time counter” is counted from the state of FIG. 29A, it is located immediately below the indication effect display 900 as shown in FIG. 29B. The hold symbol 803 changes from “normal hold” as the primary hold display to “special hold 1” as the final hold display. Further, FIG. 29 (c) to FIG. 29 (f) show a state in which a variation display (fourth shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 803 changed in hold is performed, and as a result, it is a big hit. Yes.

  The execution timing of the pending change after the start of the indication effect display 900 will be described with reference to FIG. The “predictive effect A” appears when the “first appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is displayed)” starts, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. On the other hand, the “holding change effect” is executed when the “fifth execution time (three seconds after the holding symbol is shifted 3)” has arrived, starting from the display start of the holding symbol. As described above, both of the “first appearance time (1 second after the reserved symbol is displayed)” and “fifth execution time (3 seconds after the reserved symbol is shifted 3)” in the present embodiment are used. It is set starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. However, by appropriately combining these, the “holding change effect” related to the reserved symbol 803 is as if three shifts from the start of the display (see FIG. 20 and FIG. 22), it is possible to realize the production timing as if performed.

(11) When the fourth execution time, the first appearance time, and the precursor effect B are selected As shown in FIG. 22, when the fourth execution time, the first appearance time, and the precursor effect B are selected, the precursor effect The pending change is executed 2 shifts after B appears. The pattern will be described below with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 24 and the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  First, referring again to FIG. 21, the pattern is set as the execution time of the hold change, starting from the display start of the hold symbol, and 3 seconds after the hold symbol is shifted 2 times, Similarly, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol, it is one second after the reserved symbol is displayed, and the precursor effect type that appears is a pattern in which the precursor effect B is selected. Therefore, both the execution time and the appearance time are set starting from the display start of the reserved symbols. In the present embodiment, the combination of both can be shown to the player as if a pending change was executed “after 2 shifts” starting from the appearance of the precursor effect B as shown in FIG. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (a), the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the three reserved symbols 810 corresponding to the stored reserved memory are displayed. ˜812 are displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated, the fourth new hold memory is stored, “special hold 2” is selected as the last hold display in S605 of the hold display process (FIG. 15), and the primary hold display is made in S620. When “Special Hold 1” is selected and the primary hold display process is executed in S625, the hold symbol 813 is displayed in the form of “Special Hold 1” as shown in FIG. The display start is indicated at the timing when the reserved symbol display is changed from non-display to display in FIG.

  At this time, in S630 in the same hold display process (FIG. 15), the “fourth execution time” is determined as the hold change execution time. In S635, the “fourth execution time flag” is set to 1, and the information Is stored in the “fourth on-hold change buffer” corresponding to the fourth new on-hold storage, and “first appearance time” is selected as the pre-announcement effect appearance time in S655, and the pre-signation effect type is “Precursor effect B” is selected, and in S660, the “first appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, and the information is associated with the fourth new reserved memory together with the precursor effect type. The case where it memorize | stores in the "4th precursor effect buffer" is assumed.

  Since the “first appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated each time S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and the “prediction effect process” (FIG. 17). ) In S800, that is, if it is determined that the count value corresponding to “1 second” has been reached, the display of “prediction effect B” is started in S810 because the “first appearance time” has arrived. The The display start of the “prediction effect B” is indicated at the timing of “first appearance time” when “one second” has elapsed after the reserved symbol display is changed from non-display to display in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 30 (c), as a state one second after the hold display, the sign effect display in the form of “prediction effect B” immediately above the hold symbol 813 that is the target of the sign effect. 910 is displayed.

  When the variation display being executed in FIG. 30C ends and the decorative symbol 100 is confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 30D, the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 810 is digested. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, in addition, the shift process of the indication effect display being displayed, and the first to first The contents of the 4 precursor effect buffer and the first to fourth hold change buffers are also shifted together. Since “4th execution time flag” is set to 1, it is an object of confirmation in S725, but “4th execution time” which is the determination content is “3 after the reserved symbol is shifted by 2”. Since it is “after seconds”, it is determined that the count-up time has not yet arrived. When such processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 30 (e), the reserved symbol 810 is deleted, the reserved symbols 811 to 813 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started. At the same time, the indication effect display 910 is also shifted and displayed immediately above the reserved symbol 813.

  When the 2-shift process is further performed from the state of FIG. 30E, S715 of the “pending shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed as in the case of the 1-shift process. However, in the current 2-shift process, in the confirmation process of S725, since the “fourth execution time” that is the determination content is “3 seconds after the hold symbol is shifted 2 times”, the count-up time is It is determined that it has arrived, and the “fourth execution time counter” is set to be able to count up. The “fourth execution time counter” set to be able to count up is counted up in S705 of “hold shift display processing” (FIG. 16) for each interrupt until the count value corresponding to “3 seconds” is reached. Done. If it is determined in S900 of the “holding change process” (FIG. 18) that the count value has reached the predetermined count value, the contents of the “second hold change buffer” corresponding to the hold symbol 813 are stored in S905. Check. As a result of the confirmation, based on the stored special display type “special hold 2” after the change in hold, in step S910, “special hold 1” as the primary hold display is changed to “special hold 2” as the final hold display. Then, control processing is performed so that the pending change is performed.

  When such a control process is performed, from the state of FIG. 30 (e), the variable display being executed is terminated, and the decorative symbol 100 is fixedly displayed as shown in FIG. 30 (f). Next, the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 811 is digested, and the second shift processing from the start of display of the hold symbol 813 is performed as shown in FIG. 30 (g) as in the case of FIG. 30 (e) described above. The FIG. 30 (g) shows a display mode immediately after two shifts. When “3 seconds” counted by the “fourth execution time counter” is counted from the state of FIG. 30 (g), it is located immediately below the indication effect display 910 as shown in FIG. 30 (h). The hold symbol 813 changes from “special hold 1” as the primary hold display to “special hold 2” as the final hold display. Further, FIG. 31 (a) to FIG. 31 (f) show a state in which a variation display (fourth shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 813 changed in hold is performed, resulting in a big hit. Yes.

  The execution timing of the hold change after the start of the indication effect display 910 will be described with reference to FIG. The “predictive effect B” appears when the “first appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is displayed)” arrives, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. On the other hand, the “holding change effect” is executed when the “fourth execution time (3 seconds after the holding symbol is shifted by 2)” comes, starting from the display start of the holding symbol. As described above, both the “first appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is displayed)” and “fourth execution time (three seconds after the reserved symbol is shifted by two)” in the present embodiment are both used. It is set starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. However, by appropriately combining these, the “holding change effect” related to the reserved symbol 813 starts as if the display of the precursor effect display 910 targeting the reserved symbol 813 is started, as if two shifts from the display start (FIG. 20 and FIG. 22), it is possible to realize the production timing as if performed.

(12) When the fourth execution time, the second appearance time, and the precursor effect C are selected As shown in FIG. 22, when the fourth execution time, the second appearance time, and the precursor effect C are selected, the precursor effect The pending change is executed one shift after C appears. The pattern will be described below with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 25 and the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  First, referring again to FIG. 21, the pattern is set as the execution time of the hold change, starting from the display start of the hold symbol, and 3 seconds after the hold symbol is shifted 2 times, Similarly, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol, it is one second after the reserved symbol is shifted by 1, and the appearance effect type that appears is a pattern in which the precursor effect C is selected. Therefore, both the execution time and the appearance time are set starting from the display start of the reserved symbols. In the present embodiment, the combination of both can be shown to the player as if the hold change was executed “after one shift” starting from the appearance of the precursor effect C as shown in FIG. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (a), the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and two reserved symbols 820 corresponding to the stored reserved memory are displayed. ~ 821 are displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated, the third new hold memory is stored, “special hold 3” is selected as the last hold display in S605 of the hold display process (FIG. 15), and the primary hold display is made in S620. When “special hold 2” is selected and the primary hold display process is executed in step S625, the hold symbol 822 is displayed in the form of “special hold 2” as shown in FIG. The display start is indicated at the timing when the reserved symbol display is changed from non-display to display in FIG.

  At this time, in S630 in the same hold display process (FIG. 15), the “fourth execution time” is determined as the hold change execution time. In S635, the “fourth execution time flag” is set to 1, and the information Is stored in the “third hold change buffer” corresponding to the third new hold storage, and “second appearance time” is selected as the sign production appearance time in S655, and the sign production type is “Precursor effect C” is selected, and in S660, “second appearance time flag” is set to 1 and the information corresponding to the third new reserved storage is set in conjunction with the precursor effect type. Assume that the data is stored in the “3 precursor effect buffer”.

  When the variation display being executed in FIG. 32B is finished and the decorative symbol 100 is confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 32C, the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 820 is digested next. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, and the first to fourth precursor effect buffers and the first to fourth hold changes. The buffer contents are also shifted. Since 1 is set in the “second appearance time flag”, it is a target of confirmation in S720, and the selection “second appearance time” is “one second after the hold symbol is shifted by 1”. Therefore, it is determined that the count-up time has come. As a result, the “second appearance time counter” is set to be countable. Subsequently, since “4th execution time flag” is set to 1, although it is a target of confirmation in S725, the determination content “4th execution time” is changed from “hold symbol is shifted by 2”. Since “after 3 seconds”, it is determined that the count-up time has not yet arrived. When such processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 32 (d), the reserved symbol 820 is erased, the reserved symbols 821 to 822 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started.

  Since the “second appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated every time S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and the “prediction effect process” (FIG. 17). ) In S800, that is, if it is determined that the count value corresponding to “1 second” has been reached, the display of “prediction effect C” is started in S810 because the “second appearance time” has arrived. The The display of the “prediction effect C” starts from “second appearance time” when “one second” has elapsed since the holding symbol display changed from non-display to display in FIG. It is shown at the timing. At this time, as shown in FIG. 32 (e), as a state one second after the one-shift process is performed from the start of the hold display, as a state immediately after the hold symbol 822 that is the target of the precursor effect, In the form of “prediction effect C”, the display of the sign effect display 920 is started.

  When the variation display being executed in FIG. 32 (e) ends and the decorative symbol 100 is confirmed and displayed as shown in FIG. 32 (f), the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 821 is digested. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, in addition, the shift process of the indication effect display being displayed, and the first to first The contents of the 4 precursor effect buffer and the first to fourth hold change buffers are also shifted together. Since “4th execution time flag” is set to 1, it becomes a target of confirmation in S725, and “4th execution time” which is the determination content is “3 seconds after the holding symbol is shifted by 2”. Therefore, it is determined that the count-up time has come. As a result, the “fourth execution time counter” is set to be able to count up. When such processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 32 (g), the reserved symbol 821 is erased, the reserved symbols 822 to 823 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started. At the same time, the indication effect display 920 is also shifted and displayed immediately above the reserved symbol 822.

  The “fourth execution time counter” set to be able to count up is counted up in S705 of “hold shift display processing” (FIG. 16) for each interrupt until the count value corresponding to “3 seconds” is reached. Done. If it is determined that the count value has reached the predetermined count value in S900 of the “hold change process” (FIG. 18), the contents of the “first hold change buffer” corresponding to the hold symbol 822 are stored in S905. Check. As a result of the confirmation, based on the stored special display type “special hold 3” after the hold change, in step S910 “special hold 2” as the primary hold display is changed to “special hold 3” as the final hold display. Then, control processing is performed so that the pending change is performed.

  When such control processing is performed, from the state of FIG. 32 (g) immediately after the 2-shift processing, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol 822, the “fourth execution time counter” counts for “3 seconds. ”Is counted, as shown in FIG. 32 (h), the reserved symbol 822 located immediately below the indication effect display 920 is changed from“ special hold 2 ”as the primary hold display to“ special hold ”as the final hold display. Hold changes to “hold 3”. Further, FIGS. 33 (a) to 33 (d) show a state in which a variable display (third shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 822 changed in hold is performed, and as a result, it is a big hit. Yes.

  The execution timing of the hold change after the start of the indication effect display 920 will be described with reference to FIG. The “predictive effect C” appears when the “second appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is shifted by 1)” comes from the start of displaying the reserved symbol. On the other hand, the “holding change effect” is executed when the “fourth execution time (3 seconds after the holding symbol is shifted by 2)” comes, starting from the display start of the holding symbol. Thus, the “second appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is shifted by 1)” and “fourth execution time (three seconds after the reserved symbol is shifted by two)” in this embodiment are Is also set starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. However, by appropriately combining these, the “holding change effect” related to the holding symbol 822 is as if one shift from the start of the display (see FIG. 20 and FIG. 22), it is possible to realize the production timing as if performed.

(13) When Second Execution Time, First Appearance Time, and Precursor Effect D are Selected As shown in FIG. 22, when the second execution time, first appearance time, and precursor effect D are selected, the prelude effect A pending change is performed a few seconds after D appears. The pattern will be described below with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 26 and the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  First, referring to FIG. 21 again, the pattern is set as the execution time of the hold change, starting from the display start of the hold symbol, and 8 seconds after the hold symbol is displayed. Starting from the display start of the reserved symbol, it is one second after the reserved symbol is displayed. Therefore, both the execution time and the appearance time are set starting from the display start of the reserved symbols. In this embodiment, the combination of both can be shown to the player as if the pending change was executed “several seconds later”, starting from the appearance of the precursor effect D as shown in FIG. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 34A, the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and one reserved symbol 830 corresponding to the stored reserved memory is displayed. Is displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated and the second new hold memory is stored, “Special Hold 4” is selected as the last hold display in S605 of the hold display process (FIG. 15), and the primary hold display is displayed in S620. When “special hold 3” is selected and the primary hold display process is executed in S625, the hold symbol 831 starts to be displayed in the form of “special hold 3” as shown in FIG. The start of the display is indicated at the timing when the reserved symbol display is changed from non-display to display in FIG.

  At this time, in S630 in the same hold display process (FIG. 15), the “second execution time” is determined as the hold change execution time, and in S635, the “second execution time counter” is set to be countable. The information is stored in the “second hold change buffer” corresponding to the second new hold memory, and “first appearance time” is selected as the sign appearance appearance time in S655, and the sign effect. “Prediction effect D” is selected as the type, and in S660, the “first appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, and the information is stored in the second new reserved memory together with the indication effect type. The case where it memorize | stores in the corresponding "2nd sign production buffer" is assumed.

  Since the “first appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated each time S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and the “prediction effect process” (FIG. 17). ) In S800, that is, when it is determined that the count value corresponding to “1 second” has been reached, the display of “prediction effect D” is started in S810 because the “first appearance time” has arrived. The The display start of the “prediction effect D” is indicated at the timing of “first appearance time” when “one second” has elapsed after the reserved symbol display is changed from non-display to display in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), as a state one second after the start of the display of the reserved symbol 831, the state of the “predictive effect D” is set immediately above the reserved symbol 831 that is the target of the precursor effect. The indication effect display 930 is started.

  In addition, since the “second execution time counter” is also set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated each time S705 of “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and “hold change process” (FIG. 18) If the determination in S900 is affirmative, that is, if it is determined that the count value corresponding to “8 seconds” has been reached, it is determined that the “second execution time” has arrived, and in S905, the “second” Check the contents of the "pending change buffer". As a result of the confirmation, based on the stored special display type “special hold 4” after the change in hold, in step S910 “special hold 3” as the primary hold display is changed to “special hold 4” as the final hold display. Then, control processing is performed so that the pending change is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 34 (d), as a state 8 seconds after the start of display of the reserved symbol 831, the reserved symbol 831 that is the target of the precursor effect is “special reserved 3” as the primary reserved display. From this, a hold change effect that changes to the “special hold 4” mode as the final hold display is executed. Further, FIG. 34 (e) to FIG. 35 (b) show a state in which a variation display (second shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 831 changed in hold is performed, and as a result, it is a big hit. Yes.

  The execution timing of the pending change after the start of the indication effect display 930 will be described with reference to FIG. The “prediction effect D” appears when the “first appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is displayed)” starts, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. On the other hand, the “holding change effect” is executed when “second execution time (8 seconds after the holding symbol is displayed)” arrives, starting from the start of displaying the holding symbol. As described above, both the “first appearance time (1 second after the hold symbol is displayed)” and “second execution time (8 seconds after the hold symbol is displayed)” of this embodiment are both held. It is set from the start of symbol display. However, by appropriately combining these, the “holding change effect” related to the holding symbol 831 starts as if a few seconds have elapsed from the start of the display (FIG. 20), starting from the start of the indication effect display 930 for the holding symbol 831. Further, it is possible to realize the production timing as if it was performed after 7 seconds as an example.

(14) When the fifth execution time, the fourth appearance time, and the precursor effect E are selected As shown in FIG. 22, when the fifth execution time, the fourth appearance time, and the precursor effect E are selected, the precursor effect A pending change is performed immediately after E appears. The pattern will be described below with reference to the timing chart of FIG. 27 and the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  First, referring again to FIG. 21, the pattern is the execution time of the hold change, starting from the display start of the hold symbol, and 3 seconds after the hold symbol is shifted 3 times, Similarly, starting from the display start of the reserved symbol, it is 1 second after the reserved symbol is shifted 3 times, and the appearance effect type that appears is a pattern in which the indication effect E is selected. Therefore, both the execution time and the appearance time are set starting from the display start of the reserved symbols. In the present embodiment, as a result of the combination of both, as shown in FIG. 22, it is possible to show the player as if the hold change has been executed “immediately” starting from the appearance of the precursor effect E. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (a), the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is being variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and three reserved symbols 840 corresponding to the stored reserved memory are displayed. -842 are displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated, the fourth new hold memory is stored, “Special Hold 1” is selected as the last hold display in S605 of the hold display process (FIG. 15), and the primary hold display is displayed in S620. When “normal hold” is selected as the first hold display process in S625, the hold symbol 843 is displayed in the “normal hold” mode as shown in FIG. The display start is shown in FIG. 27 at the timing when the reserved symbol display changes from non-display to display.

  At this time, in S630 in the same hold display process (FIG. 15), the “fifth execution time” is determined as the hold change execution time. In S635, “5th execution time flag” is set to 1, and the information Are stored in the “fourth on-hold change buffer” corresponding to the fourth new on-hold storage, and in S655, the “fourth appearance time” is selected as the foreword effect appearance time, and the foreword effect type is selected. The “signature effect E” is selected, and in S660, the “fourth appearance time flag” is set to 1, and the information corresponding to the fourth new reserved storage is set together with the sign effect type. The case where it memorize | stores in "4 precursor production buffer" is assumed.

  36 (b), when the variable display being executed is completed and the decorative symbol 100 is fixedly displayed as shown in FIG. 36 (c), the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 840 is digested. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, and the first to fourth precursor effect buffers and the first to fourth hold changes. A shift process for the first shift is also executed together with the contents of the buffer. Since 1 is set in the “fourth appearance time flag”, it becomes a target of confirmation in S720, and the selection content “fourth appearance time” is “one second after the hold symbol is shifted by 3”. Therefore, it is determined that the count-up time has not yet arrived. Subsequently, since “5th execution time flag” is set to 1, although it is a target of confirmation in S725, the “5th execution time” that is the determination content is changed from “hold symbol is shifted by 3”. Since “after 3 seconds”, it is determined that the count-up time has not yet arrived. When such processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the reserved symbol 840 is erased, the reserved symbols 841 to 843 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started.

  36D, when the variable display being executed is completed and the decorative symbol 100 is finalized as shown in FIG. 36E, the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 841 is digested. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, and the first to fourth precursor effect buffers and the first to fourth hold changes. A shift process for the second shift is executed together with the contents of the buffer. Also in this time, it is determined that the “fourth appearance time” has not arrived in S720 and the “fifth execution time” has not yet arrived in S725. When such processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 36 (f), the reserved symbol 841 is erased, the reserved symbols 842 to 844 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started.

  36 (f), when the variable display being executed is completed and the decorative symbol 100 is fixedly displayed as shown in FIG. 36 (g), the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 842 is digested. At this time, in S715 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16), the oldest hold symbol is erased and the remaining hold symbol is shifted, and the first to fourth precursor effect buffers and the first to fourth hold changes. A shift process for the third shift is executed together with the contents of the buffer. Since 1 is set in the “fourth appearance time flag”, it becomes a target of confirmation in S720, and the selection content “fourth appearance time” is “one second after the hold symbol is shifted by 3”. Therefore, it is determined that the count-up time has come. As a result, the “fourth appearance time counter” is set to be countable. Subsequently, since 1 is set in the “fifth execution time flag”, it is an object of confirmation in S725, and the “fifth execution time” as the determination content is “three seconds after the hold symbol is shifted three times”. Since it is “after”, it is determined that the count-up time has come. As a result, the “fifth execution time counter” is set to be able to count up. When such processing is performed, as shown in FIG. 36 (h), the reserved symbol 842 is deleted, the reserved symbols 843 to 844 are shifted and displayed, and the decorative symbol 100 based on the fact that the reserved memory is digested is displayed. Fluctuation display is started. FIG. 36 (h) shows a state immediately after execution of the 3-shift process starting from the display start of the reserved symbol 843.

  Since the “fourth appearance time counter” is set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated each time S700 of the “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and the “prediction effect process” (FIG. 17). ) In S800, that is, if it is determined that the count value corresponding to “1 second” has been reached, the display of “prediction effect E” is started in S810 because the “fourth appearance time” has arrived. The The display start of the “prediction effect E” is indicated by the timing of the “fourth appearance time” when the display of the reserved symbol display is started in FIG. It is. At this time, as shown in FIG. 37 (a), as a state one second after the 3 shift process executed after the display of the reserved symbol 843 is started, immediately above the reserved symbol 843 that is the target of the precursor effect, The indication effect display 940 is started in the form of the indication effect E.

  In addition, since the “fifth execution time counter” is also set to be able to count up, the count-up is repeated each time S705 of “hold shift display process” (FIG. 16) is executed, and “hold change process” (FIG. 18) If the determination in S900 is affirmative, that is, if it is determined that the count value corresponding to “3 seconds” has been reached, it is determined that the “fifth execution time” has arrived, and the “first” corresponding to the reserved symbol 843 is determined in S905. Check the contents of the "pending change buffer". As a result of the confirmation, based on “special hold 1”, which is the hold display type after the stored hold change, from “normal hold” as the primary hold display to “special hold 1” as the final hold display in S910. Then, the control process is performed so that the pending change is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), as a state after 3 seconds from the 3 shift process executed after the start of the display of the reserved symbol 843, the reserved symbol 843 that is the target of the precursor effect is displayed as the primary reserved display. The “holding change effect” is changed from “normal hold” to “special hold 1” as the final hold display. Further, FIG. 37 (c) to FIG. 37 (f) show a state in which a variable display (fourth shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 843 that has been changed on hold is performed, and as a result, it is a big hit. Yes.

  The execution timing of the hold change after the start of the indication effect display 940 will be described with reference to FIG. The “predictive effect E” appears when the “fourth appearance time (one second after the reserved symbol is shifted three times)” comes from the start of displaying the reserved symbol. On the other hand, the “holding change effect” is executed when the “fifth execution time (three seconds after the holding symbol is shifted 3)” has arrived, starting from the display start of the holding symbol. Thus, the “fourth appearance time (1 second after the reserved symbol is shifted 3)” and “fifth execution time (3 seconds after the reserved symbol is shifted 3)” in this embodiment are Is also set starting from the display start of the reserved symbol. However, by appropriately combining these, the “holding change effect” related to the reserved symbol 843 starts as if the start of the indication effect display 940 for the reserved symbol 843 as a starting point (as shown in FIG. 20 and It is possible to realize the production timing as if it was performed after 2 seconds as an example.

  As described above, with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. 23 to 27, the display mode explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 28 to 37, etc., there are five typical “prediction effects and hold change effects” of the present embodiment. An example has been described. In this way, the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of types of precursor effects, and depending on the type of precursor effects, is set to have a plurality of different timings as the timing with the possibility of pending change. With such a configuration, it is possible to provide a highly-oriented bullet ball game machine having a length of time that is different in length, with respect to the time that the player can maintain a sense of expectation for the hold change by the predicate effect related to the hold change. It has become.

  In this regard, more specifically, for example, when one sign production A (rice) is executed, there is a possibility that the change is suspended after one shift, two shifts, or three shifts from the execution. On the other hand, when one precursor effect C (injection) is executed, there is a possibility that the change is held immediately after the execution, after a few seconds, or after one shift. In other words, therefore, when the warning effect C (injection) appears, even if the timing comes after 2 shifts or 3 shifts where a change in hold can be expected with the warning effect A (rice), the change may change. Cannot be expected.

  By configuring in this way, the timing at which a pending change may be performed after the precursor effect is executed differs, for example, between the precursor effect A (rice) and the precursor effect C (injection). The length of the period in which the feeling of expectation for the pending change varies depending on the difference in performance, and a highly interesting performance can be provided to the player.

  In addition, although both precursor effects are the same three types of timings with the possibility of pending change, precursor effect A (rice) can maintain a sense of expectation over a relatively long period of time, and predictor effect C (injection) Is set so that the conclusion can be provided to the player at a relatively early stage, and the length of the period in which the expectation to the pending change is maintained is different depending on the type of predictive effect. A player can be attracted as to whether or not a sign production appears, and an interesting gaming machine can be provided.

  Moreover, if the sign effect A (rice) appears, even if it does not change immediately, after a few seconds, or after one shift, it is still held for two times after the remaining two shifts and three shifts. Since the changing timing is provided, the expectation of the pending change can be maintained over a relatively long period until the worst three shifts are completed.

  In this case, even if the onset change rate (see FIG. 20) of both indication effects is lower than the indication effect C (injection), the expectation effect can be maintained over a relatively long time. So interest is improved.

  On the other hand, the sign production C (injection) has a higher hold change rate than the sign production A (rice), so even if the number of timings is the same, it can be expected from the case of the sign production (A) at each timing. it can. In addition, since the player is informed of whether or not the hold change occurs at an early stage of the period in which the reserved symbol is displayed, the player is interested in the remaining time during which the reserved symbol is displayed. You can transfer interests.

  Further, in other cases, it will be described in detail, for example, once each when the precursor effect A (rice) is executed and once when the precursor effect E (magic) is executed once. The number of types of timing at which the reserved symbol that is the target of the precursor effect is subject to change after the execution of the precursor effect is “2 shifts after 1 shift” when the precursor effect A (rice) is executed. In contrast to the “after” and “after 3 shifts”, the case where the precursor effect E (magic) is executed is one “immediately after” and is set differently.

  By configuring in this way, the number of timings at which a pending change may occur after the precursor effect is executed differs, for example, between the precursor effect A (rice) and the precursor effect E (magic). The number of times of feeling the expectation for the on-hold change differs depending on the sign production, and it is possible to provide the player with a highly interesting production.

  In addition, the number of timings at which there is a possibility of pending change is different between the two sign effects. In other words, the sign production A (rice) can maintain a sense of expectation over a relatively long period with three timings, and the sign production E (magic) is set only once immediately after. , By configuring the length of the period to maintain the expectation of pending changes depending on the type of sign production, it is possible to attract players about what kind of sign production appears, and it is interesting A gaming machine can be provided.

  Here, regarding the display mode of the sign effect and the reserved symbol, a “variation example” different from the above-described first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 41. Here, an outline of differences from the first embodiment described above will be described in advance. In the first embodiment described above, the indication effect display is continuously maintained until the timing at which the hold change is executed. In this regard, the following “modification example” ends (deletes) the display relatively early. In addition, in the first embodiment described above, the special reserved symbol (special reserved mode of the reserved symbol) is not provided. However, in this point, the following “variation example”, the special reserved symbol is displayed at the timing when the precursor effect is deleted. The display is started and the display is maintained until the scheduled change execution timing. FIG. 38 and FIG. 39 are examples of the case where the pending change is executed at the same timing as the case described in FIG. 28 and FIG. FIG. 40 and FIG. 41 show the case where the prelude effect is performed and the hold change is not executed even when the same timing as the case described in FIGS. 28 and 29 of the first embodiment arrives. It is an example.

(15) In the case of “variation”, when the hold change is executed after the appearance of the precursor effect As shown in FIG. 22, when the fifth execution time, the first appearance time, and the precursor effect A are selected, the precursor effect A Pending change is executed 3 shifts after the appearance of.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (a), the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the three reserved symbols 850 corresponding to the stored reserved memory are displayed. -852 are displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated and the fourth new reserved memory is stored, and as shown in FIG. 38 (b), the reserved symbol 853 is displayed in the "normally reserved" mode.

  When one second has elapsed from the start of the display of the hold symbol 853, as shown in FIG. The indication effect display 900 is started in the manner of "".

  When 6 seconds have elapsed since the start of the display of the reserved symbol 853, that is, when 5 seconds have elapsed since the start of the display of the precursor effect display 900 shown in FIG. 38 (c), as shown in FIG. The indication effect display 900 is erased by the end of display immediately above the reserved symbol 853. Further, with the disappearance of the indication effect display 900, the reserved symbol 853 changes from the “normal hold” mode to the “special hold” mode.

  The “special hold” mode of the “variant” is any one of the “normal hold” mode, the “special hold 1” mode, the “special hold 2” mode, the “special hold 3” mode, and the “special hold 4” mode. Is set to a display mode that can suggest that the process is to change to hold or to return to the “normal hold” mode after failing the hold change (gase effect). That is, the display form is assumed to have a different shape as if it had once collapsed as a precondition for the change from the “normal hold” mode.

  38D, when the variable display being executed is completed and the decorative symbol 100 is fixedly displayed as shown in FIG. 38E, the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 850 is digested. When the first shift process from the start of the indication effect display 900 is performed, the reserved symbols 850 are erased, the reserved symbols 851 to 853 are shifted and displayed as shown in FIG. The variation display of the decorative symbol 100 based on this is started. At this time, the hold symbol 853 is shifted and displayed while maintaining the “special hold” mode.

  When the 2-3 shift process is further performed from the state of FIG. 38 (f), the display of the variation under execution is completed from the state of FIG. 38 (f), as shown in FIG. 38 (g). The decorative pattern 100 is fixedly displayed. Next, the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 851 is digested, and the second shift process from the start of the display of the hold symbol 853 is performed as shown in FIG. 38 (h) as in the case of FIG. 38 (f) described above. The Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 39 (b), as shown in FIG. 39 (b), the variable display after the two shifts is finished as shown in FIG. 39 (a), and the variable display based on the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 852 is started. A third shift is made from the occurrence of the reserved symbol. FIG. 39B shows a display mode immediately after 3 shifts.

  As described above, in the “variation example”, even if the precursor effect display 900 is erased relatively early, the reserved symbol 853 that is the target of the precursor effect display 900 is set to the “special hold” mode, and the “special hold” mode is further set. Even when a plurality of shift processes are executed, the shift process is maintained. As a result, the player can determine which reserved symbol that is the target of the precursor effect and has the possibility of change in the hold, without using the precursor effect display 900 as an index. It becomes possible to discriminate by using the mode as an index. Therefore, by displaying the shift display and the new reserved symbol, the player can be surely provided with an interest in the game without losing sight of the reserved symbol having the possibility of a change in holding.

  When “3 seconds” elapses from the state of FIG. 39B, as shown in FIG. 39C, the reserved symbol 853 is changed from the “special hold” mode to “special hold 1” as the final hold display. Hold change. Further, FIG. 39 (d) to FIG. 39 (g) show a state in which a variation display (fourth shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 853 changed in hold is performed, and as a result, it is a big hit. Yes.

(16) In the “variation example”, when the hold change is not executed after the appearance of the sign effect, that is, the gasset effect is executed, as shown in FIG. Since the execution is determined to be non-executed in advance, the execution time is a provisional determination time), and when the first appearance time and the warning effect A are selected, the warning effect A appears. The hold change is executed after 3 shifts. The production examples shown in FIGS. 40 and 41 are gasses for the pattern for executing the hold change shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, and the same processing is performed except for whether or not the hold change can be executed. Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 40 (a), the decorative symbol 100 corresponding to the special symbol is being variably displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and three reserved symbols 850 corresponding to the stored reserved memory are displayed. -852 are displayed. At this time, a start winning is generated and the fourth new reserved memory is stored, and as shown in FIG. 40 (b), the reserved symbol 853 is displayed in the "normally reserved" mode.

  When one second has elapsed from the start of display of the reserved symbol 853, as shown in FIG. The indication effect display 900 is started in the manner of "".

  When 6 seconds have elapsed from the start of the display of the reserved symbol 853, that is, when 5 seconds have elapsed from the start of the display of the precursor effect display 900 shown in FIG. 40C, as shown in FIG. The indication effect display 900 is erased by the end of display immediately above the reserved symbol 853. Further, with the disappearance of the indication effect display 900, the reserved symbol 853 changes from the “normal hold” mode to the “special hold” mode.

  When the variation display being executed in FIG. 40D is finished and the decorative symbol 100 is fixedly displayed as shown in FIG. 40E, the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol 850 is digested. When the first shift processing from the start of the indication effect display 900 is performed, as shown in FIG. 40 (f), the reserved symbols 850 are deleted, the reserved symbols 851 to 853 are shifted and displayed, and the reserved memory is consumed. The variation display of the decorative symbol 100 based on this is started. At this time, the hold symbol 853 is shifted and displayed while maintaining the “special hold” mode.

  When the 2-3 shift process is further performed from the state of FIG. 40 (f), the variation display during execution ends from the state of FIG. 40 (f), as shown in FIG. 40 (g). The decorative pattern 100 is fixedly displayed. Next, the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 851 is digested, and the second shift processing from the start of the display of the hold symbol 853 is performed as shown in FIG. 40 (h), as in FIG. The Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), as shown in FIG. 41 (b), the fluctuation display after the two shifts is finished as shown in FIG. A third shift is made from the occurrence of the reserved symbol. FIG. 41B shows a display mode immediately after the 3 shifts.

  When “3 seconds” elapses from the state of FIG. 41 (b), as shown in FIG. 41 (c), the hold symbol 853 returns from the “special hold” mode to the “normal hold” and the change in hold fails. By doing so, the gaze effect is executed. Furthermore, FIG. 41 (d) to FIG. 41 (g) show the variable display (fourth shift) based on the hold memory corresponding to the hold symbol 853 returned to “normal hold” by the gasse effect, It shows a state that is lost.

(17) Control of “Modified Example” As described above, “Modified Example” has a possibility of change in the status of the reserved symbol that is the target of the precursor effect at the timing of erasing the precursor effect display. The display mode is changed to a special hold mode that suggests the effect, and this display mode is maintained until the scheduled hold change timing or until the same timing as the timing described above in the case of a gaze effect. However, it is difficult to realize such effect display, that is, display from the start to the end of the display of the special hold mode by the control of the first embodiment described above. In other words, first, the appearance timing of the warning effect, the type of the warning effect, the type of the primary holding symbol related to the target holding symbol, the type of the special holding mode, the type of the final holding symbol, the timing of the holding change (that is, the special change) It is necessary to provide a control process for selecting and determining a so-called “production scenario” including a change mode from the holding mode to the final holding symbol), and sequentially developing the production scheduled according to the scenario at the scheduled timing. The present invention may be realized by the effects shown in the “variation example” based on such control processing.

  Further, in the above-described “variation example”, the special reservation mode corresponds to the precursor effect display 900 displayed in the “prediction effect A” mode. Only an embodiment in which the shape is different as if it was performed is illustrated. Only the one type of special holding mode may be provided, and the target holding symbol may be changed to the one type of special holding mode regardless of the mode in which the indication effect is executed. In other words, the present invention is not limited to the “prediction effect A” mode, but is configured to be uniformly changed to the one type of special hold mode even in the case of the predicate effect of the other aspects of the predicate effects B to E. May be. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of special hold modes may be provided and changed to different special hold modes depending on the type of indication effect. For example, different special hold modes are used for “predictive effect A (rice)” and “predictive effect C (injection)”. As a result, even if the indication effect display is erased, the special hold mode is maintained, so that the player can estimate the hold change rate clearly at a glance as long as it can be visually recognized. Can be improved. In addition, it is not limited to a configuration that changes to a different special hold mode based on the mode type of the sign effect, and even if the mode type of the sign effect is the same, depending on the level of expectation that is a big hit, the special hold mode You may comprise so that the kind of may differ. As a result, even if the holding change rate cannot be expected in the type of indication effect, if the type of the special holding mode can be expected, the player is discouraged, the expectation is improved, and the mood changes in various moods. Will further improve the interest.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment which concerns on this invention has been described, unless it deviates from the technical idea of this invention, it does not limit to this. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the holding change is performed only in one stage is illustrated, but a configuration in which “the holding change over two stages of the holding symbol” may be performed. After the change in hold, the remaining number of the variable display until the hold-up is confirmed, and the second hold change from the selection target may be determined and executed by selecting the executable range. Further, as a result of performing the two-stage hold change as a result, the second hold change is different again through the stage of displaying the hold symbol for which the degree of expectation has already been set in the first hold change. Other final reserved symbols for which the degree of expectation is set may be displayed so that a two-stage hold change is performed. As a result, it is possible to determine a two-time hold change scenario to be executed in advance and to execute the hold change effect according to this.

  This is not limited to the display of the reserved symbol corresponding to the reserved memory before digestion. You may comprise so that the effect | action of invention may be exerted. In other words, with regard to the pending changes related to the pending symbols and the floating pending symbols, different settings are made with respect to the possibility of making a pending change after the lapse of a predetermined time, or different settings with respect to the timing frequency at which the pending change may occur. Or may be configured to do so. As a result, the range in which the type of indication effect affects is expanded. That is, the subject of the pending change is not limited to the suspended symbol, but can be expanded to the changing pending symbol. This also extends the period during which the player can maintain his expectation that a pending change will occur due to the sign effect, until the end of the variable display, thereby improving the fun of the game.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a hold storage occurs, that is, as a hold symbol that is displayed first, a normal hold (see FIG. 19) in which the expectation level (reliability) that is a big hit is not set is displayed. Or any of the other special holds 1 to 4 for which the reliability is set is displayed. However, it is not limited to this, the normal hold that does not always have a big win expectation (reliability) is displayed, and the hold change is executed to set the big win expectation (reliability) Any one of the reserved special holds 1 to 4 may be displayed. This will always start from a state where you can't expect a big win at the beginning, so you will be disappointed that you will end up with a special hold that you can expect even a little at the beginning Absent.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, regarding the contents of the execution timing of the pending change when viewed from the appearance of the precursor effect, for example, “immediately” is not limited to 2 seconds, and “several seconds” is limited to 7 seconds. “After the shift” is not limited to one second after the shift process. The time setting can be changed as appropriate. In any case, by setting the execution time of the hold change and the appearance time of the precursor effect, and a combination thereof, it is possible to realize the effect timing as if the hold change has been executed after a predetermined time from the appearance of the precursor effect. If so, other settings may be adopted.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main controller 80 exemplifies a configuration including the pre-storage buffer and the hold storage buffer as the storage unit that stores the numerical data extracted due to the start winning. In the prefetch determination process, the numerical data stored in the pre-stored buffer is set as a determination target, and in the success / failure determination process, the numerical data stored in the hold storage buffer is set as a determination target. Further, when receiving the prefetch signal from the main control device 80, the sub integrated control device 83 corresponds to the predetermined hold storage in the hold display processing (FIG. 15), and the first to fourth hold change buffers. And the 1st-4th indication effect buffer is set, and the information which concerns on a pending | holding change or the information which concerns on an indication effect is memorize | stored. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the information related to the hold change and the indication effect is stored in the individual buffers, and may be stored in one buffer for each hold storage. Further, the hold display effect buffer, the first to fourth hold change buffers, and the first to fourth precursor effect buffers set in S605 may be integrated into one buffer for each hold storage. Further, the information related to the hold change and the warning effect may be stored together in the hold change buffer provided in the main control device 80, instead of being provided in the sub integrated control device 83.

  Further, the sub-integrated control device 83 of the above-described embodiment sets the execution time counter to be countable up in S635 of the hold display process (FIG. 15) if the time at which the execution time counter can be counted up has been reached. If the time has not arrived, the execution time flag is set to 1. Based on the fact that the flag is set to 1, the count is scheduled at S725 of the hold shift display process (FIG. 16) for each shift process. As a result of determining whether or not a time that can be increased has been reached, if the time has come, the execution time counter is set to be able to count up. Similarly, in S660 of the hold display process (FIG. 15), the sub-integrated control device 83 sets the count-up possible if the time when the appearance time counter can be counted up is reached. If not, the appearance time flag is set to 1. Based on the fact that 1 is set to the flag, the scheduled time when the count can be counted up in S720 of the hold shift display process (FIG. 16) for each shift process. As a result of determining whether or not the time has arrived, if the time has come, the appearance time counter is set to be able to count up. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration of control processing, and other control processing may be adopted as long as it is possible to achieve the on-hold change and indication effect timing of the present invention. Similarly, the configurations of the “hold display process”, “hold shift process”, “prediction effect process”, and “hold change process” are not limited to the exemplified control, and may be other control processes.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, by appropriately combining the execution timing of the hold change starting from the display start of the reserved symbol and the appearance timing of the precursor effect starting from the display start of the reserved symbol, it is as if the appearance of the prelude effect In this configuration, the player is given an impression that a pending change has been made after a predetermined time has elapsed since (execution start). However, the execution time of the hold change recognized by the player is not necessarily “after the predetermined time has elapsed since the appearance of the precursor effect (start of execution)”, but “after the predetermined time has elapsed since the end of the precursor effect (end of execution)” Also good. Thereby, the player pays attention to when the indication effect that the display is started is erased, so that the interest is improved. Further, at this time, a plurality of types of execution times of the indication effect may be provided, and it may be configured to determine, for example, by lottery which execution time is selected. As a result, the player cannot predict how long this sign production will be executed, and the player will pay more attention to the end time of the sign production. improves.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when a precursor effect appears for one reserved symbol, a newly following precursor effect is not performed until the reserved memory corresponding to the reserved symbol is digested. Was illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the first warning effect appears for one reserved symbol, the “timing of hold change starting from the execution of the warning effect” is set uniquely for the first warning effect. Of these, based on the latest timing occurring, the second warning effect may appear on the reserved symbol. You may make it perform not only the 2nd time but the prelude effect of the 3rd time or more. In such a configuration, when deciding whether or not to execute the first warning effect, it may be determined how many warning effects are executed in the period until the target reserved memory is consumed. It may be determined whether or not the next precursor effect is to be executed when the current precursor effect ends. The second and subsequent sign effects may be configured such that the same type as the type of the first sign effect may be selected, or may be a different type.
