The combination of lighting or extinguishing or blinking the six lamps indicates which gaming state is set.

  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of the present embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The function of each substrate such as the main substrate 100 and the sub substrate 102 is hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of information storage medium), or RAM, It is realized by software consisting of a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The main substrate 100 includes a passage gate sensor 104, a first start winning hole sensor 106 (first detection means), a second start winning hole sensor 108 (first detection means), a special winning hole sensor 110 (second detection means), In response to an input signal from the input means such as the payout sensor 116, etc., various calculations are performed to execute the game, and based on the calculation result, the status display drive device 120, the ordinary bonus product drive 122, the special bonus product drive The operation control of output means such as the device 124 and the payout device 130 is performed.

  In addition, the sub board 102 receives various signals sent from the main board 100 and input signals from the effect button switch 150, and performs various calculations for executing effects according to the progress status of the game, and the calculation result The operation control of the effect device 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, and the effect object drive device 174 is performed based on the above.

  The main board 100 has a random number generation unit 210, a normal lottery unit 220, a normal display control unit 222, a common role control unit 224, a special lottery unit 230, a special display control unit 240, a game state transition control unit 250, and a special game execution. A unit 260, a payout control unit 270, a communication control unit 280, and a main memory 290 are included.

  The random number generation unit 210 is a unit that generates a random number value for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator that generates hardware random numbers and a program that generates software random numbers. The software random number can be generated based on, for example, the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing etc. is irregular because the acquisition timing is irregular. Contains values that can function as random numbers.

  The normal lottery means 220 acquires the random value for the ordinary lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal being input from the passage gate sensor 104 which detects the game balls passing the passage gate 48 one by one. An ordinary lottery is performed which is stored in the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 of the main memory 290 and determines whether the ordinary random number for the ordinary lottery read from the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 is normal or not.

  In detail, the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 is provided with four ordinary reservation storage areas of the ordinary reserve storage area 1 to the ordinary reserve storage area 4. When the numerical value is acquired, the random number value for the ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary storage area 1 first, in a state where the random number for the ordinary lottery is not stored in any of the ordinary storage area 1 to the ordinary storage area 4 . Then, when the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal reserve storage area 1, if the normal symbol is not in a fluctuating display, the random lottery value for the normal lottery is read out from the normal reserve storage area 1 immediately, and the ordinary lottery is performed. On the other hand, when the normal symbol is being variably displayed, the normal lottery random number value is reserved in the normal reserve storage area 1.

  Then, when the detection signal is further input from the passage gate sensor 104 in a state where the random number value for ordinary lottery is reserved in the ordinary random number storage means 2912, when the random number value for ordinary lottery is acquired, the ordinary lottery means 220 On the condition that the number of normal lottery random number values reserved in the ordinary random number storage means 2912 is less than 4, that is, the number of normally reserved numbers is less than 4, The random number value for ordinary lottery is stored in the ordinary reserved memory area which is the ordinary reserved storage area of the ordinary reserve storage area 4 in which the random number value for ordinary lottery is not reserved and the ordinal number is the smallest. Thereby, the random number values for the normal lottery are reserved with the upper limit being four in the ordinary random number storage means 2912.

  Then, when the variable display of the normal symbol is finished, if the random number value for the normal lottery is reserved in the normal random number storage means 2912, the normal lottery means 220 selects the random value for the normal lottery from the normal storage area 1 Read out and make a normal lottery. Here, when the random number value for ordinary lottery remains in the ordinary reserved storage area 2 or later, the reserved ordinary random number value for ordinary lottery remaining from the original ordinary reserved storage area is the ordinary reserved storage area whose ordinal number is smaller by one. Move to For example, when the random number value for the normal lottery remains in the normal reserve storage area 2 to the normal reserve storage area 3, the normal reserve storage area 1 to the normal reserve storage area 2 is moved.

  In the following, details of the normal lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs an ordinary winning determination process, an ordinary variation pattern determination process, and the like as an ordinary lottery.

  The normal hit determination process is a process of determining whether the normal hit is successful or not. In the normal hitting determination process, the normal lottery means 220 refers to which of the plurality of ordinary lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process According to the game state.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the ordinary lottery table A and the ordinary lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910, and in each ordinary lottery table, each of 100 random lottery values for 0 to 99 is used. In contrast, a normal hit or a loss is associated. In detail, in the normal lottery table A, the correspondence between the normal hit or loss and the plurality of random numbers is set so that the normal hit is won with a probability of about 1/20, and in the normal lottery table B, about 19 /. The correspondence between the normal hit or the loss and the random lottery value for 0 to 99 is set such that the normal hit is won with a probability of 20. Then, the normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the gaming state is neither a definite change state nor a short time state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the gaming state is a definite change state or a short time state. .

  Then, the normal lottery means 220 refers to the selected normal lottery table and determines whether or not one random lottery random number value read out from the ordinary storage area 1 of the normal random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal hit. By determining, it is determined whether or not the normal winning is won.

  Then, the normal lottery means 220 sets the normal winning flag to ON in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal winning is won, and the normal winning is won when it is lost. Set the flag to the OFF state.

  The normal variation pattern determination process is a process of determining which of the plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the normal symbol is to be set according to the gaming state. In the normal change pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines the change pattern of the normal symbol to the normal change pattern 1 when the gaming state is neither a definite change state nor a short time state, and the play state is a definite change state or a short time state. In some cases, the variation pattern of the normal symbol is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2.

  The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs a normal symbol display control process and a normal hold display control process.

  In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display portion 72 until the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern of the normal symbol determined in the normal variation pattern determination process has elapsed. Depending on whether or not the normal symbol is variably displayed, and depending on whether or not the normal hit is won in the normal hitting determination process, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display section 72 , The normal symbol display unit 72 displays the result of the normal lottery.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal variation pattern 1, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 20 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal variation pattern 2 The fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 1 second. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is neither a definite change state nor a short time state, the change pattern of the normal symbol is determined to the normal change pattern 1 and the change time of the normal symbol is determined. The fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set by setting the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol to the normal fluctuation pattern 2 when the gaming state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is set to 20 seconds and the random lottery is performed. Since it is set to one second, the execution opportunity of the normal lottery comes more frequently when the gaming state is a definite change state or a short time state.

  In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control means 222 turns on or off or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display section 74 according to the number of the random numbers for the normal lottery stored in the normal random number storage means 2912. 0 to 4 normal hold numbers are displayed depending on the combination of

  The ordinary character article control means 224 is a means for controlling the ordinary character article drive device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs ordinary character article control processing 1, ordinary character article control processing 2 and the like.

  In the common role control control process 1, when the gaming state is neither a definite change state nor a short time state, the normal symbol is normally displayed until it is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating a normal hit, until 0.1 seconds elapses. The drive control of the normal role item drive device 122 is performed so as to return to the reduction state after the role item 52 is in the enlargement state.

  In the common role control control process 2, when the game state is a definite change state or a short time state, the normal role until the 20 seconds have elapsed, being triggered by the normal symbol being stopped and displayed in a mode indicating a normal hit. The drive control of the ordinary combination product drive device 122 is performed so as to return to the reduction state after the state 52 is in the enlargement state.

  Therefore, in the common character control process 1, the normal character 52 operates so that the accessibility of the game ball to the second start winning opening 50 hardly increases, but in the common character control processing 2, the second start The common character 52 operates so that the accessibility of the game ball to the winning opening 50 is increased.

  Special lottery means 230 for the special lottery from random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal being input from the first start prize hole sensor 106 which detects the game balls entering the first start prize hole 46 one by one. The random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 as a first special random number value. The special lottery means 230 also selects a special lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal being input from the second start prize hole sensor 108 which detects the game balls entering the second start prize hole 50 one by one. The random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as a second special random number value. Then, the special lottery means 230 performs a special lottery that determines the success or failure of the jackpot, etc., using the first special random number value or the second special random value read from the special random number storage means 2914.

  Specifically, the special random number storage unit 2914 is provided with four first special storage areas, ie, first special storage area 1 to first special storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the first special random value. As the storage area for storing the second special random number value, four second special storage areas of second special storage area 1 to second special storage area 4 are provided.

  When the special lottery means 230 acquires the random number for special lottery based on the detection signal being input from the first start winning hole sensor 106, the special lottery means 230 of the first special reserve storage area 1 to the first special reserve storage area 4 In a state in which the first special random number value is not stored in any of them, the acquired special lottery random number value is first stored in the first special reserve storage area 1 as the first special random number value. And, when the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserve storage area 1, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not in a variable display, and the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage If the second special random number value is not stored in any of the area 4 and the gaming state is not the special gaming state, the first special random number value is immediately read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is made. Do. On the other hand, whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed, or the second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4, or When the gaming state is the special gaming state, the first special random number value is held in the first special holding storage area 1.

Selects the second variation pattern lottery table H, and when the big win is won and the first half variation pattern 5 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table I is selected, the big hit is won and the first half variation pattern 6 is determined If the second variation pattern lottery table J is selected, and if the jackpot is won and the first half variation pattern 7 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table K is selected.

  The correspondence between the first fluctuation pattern lottery table and the second fluctuation pattern lottery table may not be one-to-one, and the first fluctuation pattern lottery table and the second fluctuation pattern may be selected according to the determined fluctuation group. The correspondence with the fluctuation pattern lottery table may be changed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected second fluctuation pattern lottery table, and one second fluctuation pattern determination random value read out from the special random number memory means 2914 has a plurality of types of non-reach fluctuation patterns and a plurality of types of reach. By determining which one of the fluctuation patterns is associated, one late fluctuation pattern is determined from the plurality of non-reach fluctuation patterns and the plurality of reach fluctuation patterns.

  Therefore, in the second variation pattern determination process, when the jackpot is not won, any one of the no reach variation pattern 1 to the no reach variation pattern 3 and the reach variation pattern 1 to the reach variation pattern 5 shown in FIG. When one is determined and the jackpot is won, any one of reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 shown in FIG. 10 is determined.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, fluctuation time is set for each of a plurality of first half variation patterns and a plurality of second half variation patterns. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, there is no first half fluctuation pattern which can be determined in the first fluctuation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won, and the first half fluctuation pattern 2 has 0 seconds to 5 seconds. A relatively short fluctuation time is set, and in the first half fluctuation pattern 3 to the first half fluctuation pattern 7 that can be determined in the first fluctuation pattern determination process both when the big hit is not won and when the big hit is won A relatively long fluctuation time of 30 seconds is set.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the no-reach variation pattern 1 to no-reach variation pattern 3 that can be determined in the second variation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won, a relatively short variation of 1 to 5 seconds The reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 that can be determined in the second variation pattern determination process in which the time is set and the jackpot is not won and the jackpot is won are compared in 20 seconds to 60 seconds. Long fluctuation time is set.

  Therefore, even if the jackpot is not won, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first half variation pattern 3 to the first half variation pattern 7 in which relatively long variation time is set is determined, and the second variation pattern is determined In the processing, when reach fluctuation pattern 1 to reach fluctuation pattern 5 in which relatively long fluctuation time is set is determined, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for winning the jackpot.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot is not won, and the gaming state is the normal state and the number of reservations is 0 to 1, in the fluctuation group determination processing, the fluctuation group lottery table A shown in FIG. In the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table B or the first variation pattern lottery table C is referred to in the first variation pattern determination process, and the variation time is determined. It becomes easy to determine the first half fluctuation pattern 1 set to 3 seconds and the first half fluctuation pattern 2 set to 5 seconds, and in the second fluctuation pattern determination process, the second fluctuation pattern lottery shown in FIG. Refer to the table B or the second variation pattern lottery table C, and the variation time is set to 2 seconds. No reach variation pattern 2 or variation time is 5 seconds. None Reach is set variation pattern 3 is easily determined.

  If the jackpot is not won and the gaming state is normal and the number of reservations is two to three, in the fluctuation group determination processing, the fluctuation group lottery table B shown in FIG. Alternatively, the group 2 is easily determined, and in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A or the first variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, and the variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 or the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 2 With reference to the fluctuation pattern lottery table B, no reach fluctuation pattern 1 in which the fluctuation time is set to 1 second, and the fluctuation time is set to 2 seconds Reach No variation pattern 2 there are likely to be determined.

  If the jackpot is not won, and the gaming state is normal and the number of reservations is 4 to 7, in the fluctuation group determination process, the fluctuation group lottery table C shown in FIG. By the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, and it is easy to determine that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and it is easy to determine the no reach variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second.

  Further, when the jackpot is not won and the gaming state is a definite change state or a short time state, the change group lottery process D shown in FIG. Since it becomes easy to be determined, in the first variation pattern determination process, it is easy to determine that there is no first half variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds with reference to the first variation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and it is easy to determine the no reach variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second.

  Therefore, when the jackpot is not won, in the normal state, as the number of reservations increases, a short fluctuation time is often set as the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is possible to increase the frequency with which the execution opportunity comes. Furthermore, regardless of the number of reservations in a definite variation state or a short time state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, so the frequency of execution of the special lottery comes Can be made higher.

  Further, as described above, the special lottery means 230 does not display the first special symbol or the second special symbol in a variable display, and when the gaming state is not the special gaming state, the first special random number value from the special random number storage means 2914 Alternatively, the second special random number value is read out and a big lottery determination process, symbol determination process, variation group determination process, first variation pattern determination process, second variation pattern determination process and the like are performed as a special lottery. Even when storing the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot decision process, the symbol decision process, the fluctuation group decision process, the first fluctuation pattern decision process, the second fluctuation pattern decision process, etc. Perform (pre-judgment means).

  In more detail, the special lottery means 230 (pre-judgment means) receives the detection signal from the first start winning hole sensor 106 or the second start winning hole sensor 108, the random number generator 210 generates a special lottery random number. When a numerical value is acquired, it is stored as a first special random number value in any of the first special reserve storage area 1 to the first special reserve storage area 4 or the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4 It stores it as a second special random number value in one of them, and according to the gaming state and the number of reservations at that time, jackpot decision processing, symbol determination processing, fluctuation as prior judgment processing for the first special random number value or the second special random number value A group determination process, a first variation pattern determination process, a second variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 prior to the preliminary determination results including the results of the jackpot determination process as the preliminary determination process, the pattern determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process and the second variation pattern determination process It is stored in the special reserve storage area in which the first special random number value or the second special random value to be determined is stored.

  The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and the first special symbol display control process, the second special symbol display control process, the first special hold display control Processing, 2nd special hold display control processing is performed.

  The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the special random number storage unit 2914 and the special lottery is performed, and the special display control unit 240 performs the first variation pattern. The first special symbol display portion until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time corresponding to the first half fluctuation pattern determined in the determination process and the second fluctuation pattern determined in the second fluctuation pattern determination process elapses After the first special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the seven-segment display of 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the seven-segment display of the first special symbol display section 76 in a predetermined manner.

  In the present embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is determined in advance corresponding to each of the four types of jackpot symbols and losses, and the special display control means 240 determines whether the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process In a corresponding manner, and when a big hit is won in the big hit determination process, the first special symbol display unit 76 is turned on by turning on the 7-segment display in a mode according to the big hit symbol determined in the symbol determination process The special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the first special symbol display unit 76 displays the result of the special lottery.

  The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read from the special random number storage unit 2914 and the special lottery is performed, and the special display control unit 240 performs the first variation pattern. The second special symbol display unit until the total fluctuation time of the fluctuation time corresponding to the first half fluctuation pattern determined in the determination process and the second fluctuation pattern determined in the second fluctuation pattern determination process elapses After the second special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the seven-segment display of 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the seven-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 in a predetermined manner.

  And the special display control means 240 is an aspect according to whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination processing, and when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination processing, the aspect according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination processing Then, by turning on the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the second special symbol display unit 80.

  In the first special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the first special hold display unit 78 according to the number of first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 first special holding numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  In the second special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special hold display unit 82 according to the number of second special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Or 0 to 4 second special holding numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state transition control means 250 shifts the gaming state between the normal state, the special gaming state, the probable change state, and the short time state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. I do. As the transition condition of the gaming state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the satisfaction of one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all of the plurality of predetermined conditions. It is possible to shift to another game state.

  The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and the transition from the normal state to the special gaming state is possible. In the normal state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table A in which the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 1/20, and the jackpot lottery table A in which the winning probability of the jackpot is set to 1/319. A special lottery will be made with reference.

  And in the normal state, the winning probability of the normal winning in the normal lottery is as low as about 1/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as long as 20 seconds, and the period when the common role 52 is expanded is 0.1 seconds Because it is short, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50.

  The special gaming state is started based on the jackpot winning in the special lottery in the normal state, the definite variation state, the time saving state, and the special game of the number of rounds (number of times of execution) predetermined according to the type of jackpot symbol is executed. It ends when it is done.

  Specifically, when the special gaming state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of 16 round probability variation symbols is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of 16 rounds of the first round to the 16th round is executed The special game state ends on the condition that the game is played.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the 4 round probability variation symbol winning flag is set to ON in the special lottery, the special game of the first round to the fourth round is executed. Special game state ends on condition of.

  Also, when the special gaming state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16th round normal symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of the 16th round of the first round to the 16th round is executed Special game state ends on condition of.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the 4 round regular symbol winning flag is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the special game of the first round to the fourth round is executed. Special game state ends on condition of.

  The definite change state is started when the special gaming state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16 round positive change symbol or the 4 round positive change symbol (positive change symbol) is set to the ON state, and from the positive change state Is able to shift to the special game state or the normal state. And in the definite change state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the winning probability of the normal winning is set to about 19/20, and the jackpot lottery table B in which the winning probability of the jackpot is set to 1/31. The player has an advantage over the normal state in that a special lottery is performed by reference. The definite change state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery has been performed in the positive change state reaches 9999 times, and the state is shifted to the normal state.

  More specifically, when the special gaming state ends, the gaming state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 9999) corresponding to a predetermined number of times of gaming (for example, 9999 times) in the definite variation end determination counter 2930 of the main memory 290. Every time a special lottery is performed in the state, decrement update is performed to subtract a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of game play from the stored value of the definite variation end determination counter 2930. Then, when the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930 reaches a threshold (for example, 0), the probability variation state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, since the probability of winning the jackpot in the special lottery is set to 1/31 in the definite variation state, the special gaming state is started before the number of times the special lottery has been performed in the definite variation state reaches 9999 times. There is almost no transition to the state.

  And in the probability change state, the winning probability of the normal winning in the normal lottery is high as about 19/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the period when the common role 52 is in the expanding state becomes as long as 20 seconds. Therefore, it is advantageous to the player in that the game ball can easily enter the second starting winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  In addition, in a definite change state, a change time shorter than the change time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is often set regardless of the number of reservations, so the execution opportunity of the special lottery comes more frequently than the normal state It is supposed to

  The time saving state is started when the special gaming state started based on the 16 round normal symbol or 4 round normal symbol winning flag being set to the ON state, and the special gaming state is started from the time reducing state Or transition to the normal state is possible. And in the time saving state, although the normal drawing is performed with reference to the normal drawing table B in which the winning probability of the normal hitting is set to about 19/20 as in the definite changing state, the winning probability of the big hit is about the same as the normal state. It is more disadvantageous to the player than the probability change state in that a special lottery is performed with reference to the jackpot lottery table A set to 1/319. The time saving state ends on the condition that the number of times the special lottery has been performed in the time saving state reaches 100 times, and is shifted to the normal state.

  Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 250 has a value corresponding to a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) in the time reduction end determination counter 2932 of the main memory 290 when the gaming state is shifted to the short time state. For example, 100) is written, and each time a special lottery is performed in the time saving state, decrement updating is performed to subtract a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of game play from the stored value of the time saving end determination counter 2932. When the value stored in the hour reduction end determination counter 2932 reaches a threshold (for example, 0), the time reduction state is ended.

  And in the time saving state, similarly to the probability changing state, the winning probability of the normal winning in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, the period during which the common role 52 is expanded. Is longer than 20 seconds, which is advantageous to the player in that the game ball can easily enter the second starting winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  Also, in the time saving state, as in the case of the probability changing state, the changing time shorter as the changing time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is often set regardless of the number of reservations, so the special lottery The execution opportunity is to come frequently.

  The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on a lottery result of a special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 4 and the like.

  The special game execution processing 1 is executed based on the fact that the 16 round probability variation symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 is the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 with a predetermined number of rounds for the 16 round probability variation symbol A value corresponding to 16 times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special character 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for 1 time Increment update is performed to add a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 16), the special gaming state ends.

  Specifically, in the special game execution processing 1, in the special game of each of the first round to the sixteenth round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special role 56 is opened, or the special winning opening When the sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value of the large winning number counter 2936 to which the value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game ball is added reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10) The drive control of the special service driving device 124 is performed so that the special service 56 is in the closed state. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition of one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution processing 2 is executed based on the fact that the 4 round probability variation symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 is the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 with a predetermined number of rounds for the 4 round probability variation symbol. A value corresponding to 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and every time the special character 56 completes its operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for 1 time. Increment update is performed to add a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 4), the special game state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution processing 2, in the special game of the first round to the eighth round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special role 56 is opened, or the number of big wins When the value of the counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), drive control of the special service driving device 124 is performed such that the special service 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition of one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution processing 3 is executed based on the fact that the 16 round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 is the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 with a predetermined number of rounds for the 16 round probability variation. A value corresponding to 16 times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special character 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for 1 time Increment update is performed to add a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 16), the special gaming state ends.

  Specifically, in the special game execution processing 3, in the special game of each of the first round to the sixteenth round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special role 56 is opened, or the number of big winnings When the value of the counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), drive control of the special service driving device 124 is performed such that the special service 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition of one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution processing 4 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 is the upper limit of the round counter 2933 with a predetermined number of rounds for the 4-round normal symbol. A value corresponding to 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and every time the special character 56 completes its operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for 1 time. Increment update is performed to add a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches the upper limit (for example, 4), the special game state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution processing 4, in the special game of each of the first round to the fourth round, the opening timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special role 56 is opened, or the number of big wins When the value of the counter 2936 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 10), drive control of the special service driving device 124 is performed such that the special service 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 assuming that the end condition of one round is satisfied.

  The payout control means 270 detects a detection signal based on the detection signal from the first start winning hole sensor 106, the detection signal from the second start winning hole sensor 108, and the detection signal from the special winning hole sensor 110. Control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out the game balls of the number equivalent to the number of award balls predetermined in each case. Specifically, the payout control unit 270 transmits an instruction command to pay out four gaming balls to the payout device 130 every time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects a winning of one gaming ball, and 2 Every time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects a winning of one gaming ball, an instruction command to pay out three gaming balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the special winning opening sensor 110 is one gaming ball Every time a winning is detected, an instruction command to cause the payout device 130 to pay out 15 gaming balls is transmitted.

  The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the game balls of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a gaming ball tank for storing gaming balls, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotational angle of the payout motor to count the number of gaming balls as instructed. Pay out of the game ball tank. Further, the payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 which operates every time one game ball is paid out, and the payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on the payout signal from the payout sensor 116. It is possible to manage the number of issued game balls.

  The communication control unit 280 performs control to transmit various commands generated in accordance with various calculation results in the main substrate 100 to the sub substrate 102. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main substrate 100 to the sub substrate 102 is possible between the main substrate 100 and the sub substrate 102, and the sub substrate 102 is connected to the main substrate 100. Communication connection is made so that information can not be sent.

  Subsequently, the sub substrate 102 will be described. The sub substrate 102 is configured to include the effect control means 300 and the sub memory 310.

  The effect control means 300 displays effects based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, input signals from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. The apparatus 170 is controlled to turn on or blink the front frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38, the effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the effect apparatus 172 is controlled to output effect sound from the speaker 14. By controlling the effect device 176 such as driving the effect drive device 174 to operate the effect, the effect device 176 is caused to execute effects for exciting the game or assisting the game.

  In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for causing the liquid crystal display 32 to display an image, and the effect control means 300 performs one frame (1/1 frame) based on these effect image data. An image is drawn in the frame buffer 3114 of the sub memory 310 every 60 seconds, and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 to reproduce and display a moving image on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Then, the effect control means 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as a process for causing the effect device 176 to execute the effect.

  In the state effect process, the effect control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to operate a character image or a background image according to the current game state, based on the game state on the main substrate 100 and a command according to the value of the counter. By changing it or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14, an effect that suggests the current gaming state to the player is executed.

  For example, when the current gaming state is a definite change state, the effect control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display a positive change state image indicating that the current gaming state is a positive change state, and the current play state is short In the state, the liquid crystal display 32 indicates that the current gaming state is the short time state, and the short time state indicates the number of times until the total number of times the special lottery has been performed in the short time state reaches 100 times. Display the image.

  When the current gaming state is the special gaming state, the effect control means 300 indicates on the liquid crystal display 32 that the current gaming state is the special gaming state, and the special game of the second round is executed A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether it is medium is displayed.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 is special based on the command according to the result of the jackpot determination process of the special lottery on the main substrate 100, the symbol determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, and the second variation pattern determination process. To determine which of a plurality of effect patterns the effect pattern of the lottery effect is to be used, to match the variation display and stop display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76, or the second special symbol display unit The special lottery effect is caused to be performed by the effect device 176 so as to match the variable display and the stop display of the second special symbol at 80.

  Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display a background image (not shown) as shown in FIG. 12A, and on the near side of the background image, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 are displayed. Then, the effect control means 300 reads out the first special random number value from the first special storage area 1, and whenever the special lottery is performed, it is accompanied by the start of the fluctuation display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display section 76. Each time the second special random number value is read out from the second special storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the second special symbol display unit 80 starts the variation display of the second special symbol, as shown in FIG. As shown in (B), after the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 are variably displayed, whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination processing in the first special lottery or the second special lottery The left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol are displayed in a mode according to the jackpot and when the jackpot is won according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process. While stopping the display of the image 354 and changing the background image on the liquid crystal display 32 or reproducing and displaying the effect moving image in which the character image operates in a mode corresponding to each of a plurality of effect patterns, the effect pattern The special lottery effect corresponding to the type of character is executed on the liquid crystal display 32. The downward arrow in the drawing indicates that each of the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352, and the right symbol image 354 is being variably displayed.

  In detail, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 receives commands from the main substrate 100 according to the result of the special lottery big hit decision process, the symbol decision process, the first variation pattern decision process, and the second variation pattern decision process. Based on the input, a plurality of random number values such as a first effect pattern determination random number value and a second effect pattern determination random number value are acquired as random numbers for effect lottery, and the first effect pattern determination process and the second effect pattern determination process Perform rendering pattern determination processing and the like.

  In the first effect pattern determination process, on the basis of the acquired first effect pattern determination random number value, which of the plurality of first half effect patterns is the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half of the special lottery effect Is a process of determining Then, in the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any one of the plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310, and performs the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the first half fluctuation pattern determined in the first fluctuation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect lottery table storage means 3112 corresponds to the case where the result of the first variation pattern determination process in the main substrate 100 is each of the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 7. Seven types of first effect pattern lottery tables of effect pattern lottery table A to first effect pattern lottery table G are stored (not shown). Then, in each first effect pattern lottery table, one of a plurality of first half effect patterns as a plurality of first half effect patterns is associated with each of 100 first effect pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99 ing. Then, when the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2 If it is, the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and the first effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half of the fluctuation pattern determined in the first fluctuation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table to determine which of a plurality of first half effect patterns one first effect pattern determination random value is associated with, One first half stage rendering pattern is determined from a plurality of first half stage rendering patterns.

  In the second effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired one second effect pattern determination random value, which of the plurality of second effect patterns corresponds to the second half effect pattern corresponding to the second half of the special lottery effect Is a process of determining Then, in the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 refers to any one of the plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310, and performs the random number determination process. Whether to perform is selected according to the second half fluctuation pattern determined in the second fluctuation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the second variation pattern determination process in the main substrate 100 corresponds to the case of no reach variation pattern 1 to no reach variation pattern 3 and reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 respectively. In the effect lottery table storage means 3112, eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables of the second effect pattern lottery table A to the second effect pattern lottery table H are stored (not shown). In each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of the 100 second effect pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of reach none effect patterns and a plurality of reach effects as a plurality of second-half effect patterns One of the patterns is associated. Then, if the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the no reach variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern When it is 1, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the second half of the fluctuation pattern determined in the second fluctuation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, referring to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, the effect control means 300 associates one second effect pattern determination random number value with any of a plurality of non-reach effect patterns and a plurality of reach effect patterns. By determining whether there is one reach non-attribution effect pattern or one reach effect pattern from a plurality of types of non-reach effect effects patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

  Here, the rendering time is set for each of a plurality of types of first half rendering patterns, and the rendering time of the first half rendering pattern that can be determined by the first rendering pattern lottery table A is the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1 The rendering time of the first half rendering pattern which is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first rendering pattern lottery table B is set to 5 seconds which is the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern 2. The effect time of the first half effect pattern that can be determined by the first effect pattern lottery table is set to be equal to the change time of the first half change pattern corresponding to each first effect pattern lottery table.

  In addition, the rendering time is also set for each of the plurality of reach no effect patterns and the plurality of reach effect patterns, and the effect times of the plurality of reach no effect patterns that can be determined by the second effect pattern lottery table A are The production time of a plurality of reach effect patterns which can be determined by the second effect pattern lottery table E is set to one second identical to the change time of the reach no change pattern 1 in any case, the change of the reach change pattern 1 The presentation time of a plurality of types of reach none production patterns or a plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by each second performance pattern lottery table is set to the same 20 seconds as the time, and so on. No reach variation pattern or variation of reach variation pattern corresponding to the table It is set time to be the same as.

  In the special lottery effect processing, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect according to the start of the variation display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. The execution time is the sum of presentation time according to the first-half effect pattern determined in the first effect pattern determination process and start time according to the second-half effect pattern determined in the second effect pattern determination process. Execute a special lottery effect. Thereby, the variation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is synchronized with the effect time of the special lottery effect.

  For example, when the jackpot is not won in the jackpot determination process, the first special symbol or the second special in the first special symbol display unit 76 when the reach-less effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process At the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the symbol display unit 80, the variable display of the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 is started as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12 (C), first, the left symbol image 350 is displayed as a temporary stop so as to slightly swing without completely stopping in any of the modes (the mode showing “5” in FIG. 12C). Then, as shown in FIG. 12D, the right symbol image 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from the left symbol image 350.

  Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed, the middle symbol image 352 is displayed as shown in FIG. A temporary stop is displayed in a mode (a lost mode) different from the left symbol image 350 and the right symbol image 354 and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped At approximately the same timing as displayed, as shown in FIG. 12 (F), the middle symbol image 352 is completely stopped in a mode different from the left symbol image 350 and the right symbol image 354 (a lost mode). The confirmation stop is displayed.

  Also, for example, when the big hit is won in the big hit determination process, or the big hit is not won in the big hit determination process, and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special Along with the start of variation display of the first special symbol in the symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display portion 80, as shown in FIG. 13A, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 And the variable display of the right symbol image 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 13 (B), first, the left symbol image 350 is temporarily stopped and then, as shown in FIG. 13 (C), the middle symbol image 352 is displayed. While the variable display is performed, the right symbol image 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left symbol image 350. Then, as shown in FIG. 13D, reproduction and display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display portion 76 or the second special symbol display portion 80 is displayed. The reproduction display of the effect animation is ended within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol.

  More specifically, in the example of FIG. 13 (D), in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the effect moving image in which the character A fights with the character B is reproduced and displayed, and this effect moving image is reproduced and displayed. Is a reduction corresponding to the left graphic image 350 at the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, instead of the left graphic image 350, the middle graphic image 352 and the right graphic image 354 displayed at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. A left symbol image 360, a reduced middle symbol image 362 corresponding to the middle symbol image 352, and a reduced right symbol image 364 corresponding to the right symbol image 354 are displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 13D, the reduced left symbol image 360 and the reduced right symbol image 364 are temporarily stopped in the same mode (reach mode), and the symbol image 362 is displayed while being reduced while being temporarily stopped.

  When the jackpot has been won, as shown in FIG. 13 (E), at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the effect moving image in which the character A wins the character B is reproduced and displayed, and the liquid crystal display In the upper right of the 32 display areas, the player is that the jackpot has been won by the temporary stop display in the same mode (big hit mode) as the reduced left symbol image 360 and the reduced right symbol image 364 in the reduced middle symbol image 362 Will be notified temporarily.

Can greatly enhance the player's expectation for winning a jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, in the effect pattern determined when the 16 round probability variation symbols are determined in the symbol determination processing, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the numeral portion 410 of the right symbol image 354 all In this manner, the confirmation display is stopped in the manner of “7”.

  Further, in the effect pattern determined when the eight round probability variation symbols are determined in the symbol determination processing, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the numeral portion 410 of the right symbol image 354 all indicate "5". It is configured that the decision stop display may be made in a manner.

  In addition, in the effect pattern determined when the four round probability variation symbol is determined in the symbol determination processing, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the numeral portion 410 of the right symbol image 354 all indicate "1". In addition to the fixed stop display in the aspect, the fixed stop display may be made in any of the modes indicating "3".

  In addition, in the effect pattern determined when the 4-round normal symbol is determined in the symbol determining process, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the numeral portion 410 of the right symbol image 354 all indicate "2". In addition to the fixed stop display in the aspect, the fixed stop display may be performed even in a mode in which any one of them indicates “4” or any one of “6”.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 by the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. The left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode according to the result of the special lottery while raising the player's sense of expectation for the jackpot winning by displaying. After that, the final stop display is performed to notify the player of the result of the special lottery.

  In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is configured to hold the second special hold number in the main memory 290 in the special random number storage means 2914 based on a command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number on the main substrate 100. An image indicating the number of the (1) special random number value or the number of the second special random value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14A, the first special hold storage area 1 to the first special hold storage area 4 of the special random number storage means 2914 or the second Four reserve display areas (display areas) of the first reserve display area 411 to the fourth reserve display area 414 are provided corresponding to the special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4, and each reserve display In the area, as shown in FIG. 14A, a first reserve image 420 indicating which of the first special reserve storage area 1 to the first special reserve storage area 4 the first special random number value is stored in; Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 14B, it is possible to display a second hold image 422 indicating which of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4 the second special random number value is stored in It has become.

  In more detail, the effect control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 4, and the first special hold storage area 1 If the first special random number value is stored in the first holding display area 411, the first holding image 420 is displayed, and the first special holding storage area 1 and the first special holding storage area 2 When the first special random number value is held, the first reserved image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserved display area 411 and the second reserved display area 412, and so on, and so on When the second special random number is not stored in any of the second special reserve storage area 4, the first special random number value reserved in the first special reserve storage area 1 to the first special reserve storage area 4 1st pending display area according to the number of 411 and displays the first hold image 420 in each of the fourth hold display area 414. In the example of FIG. 14A, the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4, and the first special reserve storage area 1 to the first Since the first special random number value is reserved in each of the special reserve storage areas 3, the first reserve image 420 is displayed in each of the first reserve display area 411 to the third reserve display area 413.

  In addition, the effect control means 300 sets the second special hold storage area 1 regardless of whether the first special random number value is stored in any of the first special hold storage area 1 to the first special hold storage area 4. If the second special random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in the first hold display area 411, and the second special hold storage area 1 and the second special hold storage area 2 are subjected to the second special When the random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. When the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reserve storage area 4, the number of second special random number values reserved in the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4 According to the first hold display area 41 In each of the to fourth hold display area 414 displaying the second hold image 422. In the example of FIG. 14B, since the second special random number value is reserved in each of the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 2, the first reserve display area 411 to the second reserve area The second hold image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

  In the present embodiment, the first special random number value or the second special read out from the first special hold storage area 1 in the area to the left of the first hold display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 One corresponding suspension display area 430 is provided corresponding to the second special random number value read from storage area 1, and the suspension display area 430 includes the first special suspension storage area 1 from the first one. The first hold image 420 is displayed when the special random number value is read, and the second hold image 422 is displayed when the second special random value is read from the second special hold storage area 1. It has become.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 14 (A), when the first special random number value is read out from the first special storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300 makes it become as shown in FIG. 14 (C). , Move the first reserve image 420 displayed in the first reserve display area 411 to the reserve display area 430, and start variable display of the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354; 2) Display control is performed to move the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 from the original hold display area to the hold display area having a smaller ordinal number. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number value to be a target of the current special lottery, and is displayed in the first hold display area 411 and thereafter. It can be shown that the 1 reserved image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value to be the target of the special lottery after the next time.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), when the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 are displayed on the fixed stop display and the result of this special lottery is displayed, it is displayed in the hold display area 430 The first reserved image 420 is deleted. Then, when the first special random number value is further read out from the first special storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300 is not shown, but the first storage displayed in the first storage display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the pending display area 430, and the variable display of the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 is started, and is displayed in the second pending display area 412 and subsequent pending display areas. Display control is performed to move the first hold image 420 from the original hold display area to a hold display area having a smaller ordinal number.

  Although not shown, in a state where a plurality of second special random number values are held in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved memory area 4, the second special reserved memory area 1 to the second special random number value When the special lottery is performed by reading out, the effect control means 300 moves the second hold image 422 displayed in the first hold display area 411 to the hold display area 430, and the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol The second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area subsequent to the second hold display area 412 is started with the variable display of the image 352 and the right symbol image 354 started, and the ordinal display is smaller by one or less than the original hold display area. Perform display control to move to the area. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value to be a target of the current special lottery, and is displayed in the first hold display area 411 and thereafter. It can be shown that the 2 reserved image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value to be the target of the special lottery after the next time.

  In addition, the effect control means 300 is based on the command according to the result of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern determination process, etc. performed as the prior determination process on the main substrate 100. The variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is finished for the first special random number value or the second special random number value after the first special random number value or the second special random number value to be determined is acquired. The first special random number value or the second special random number value that is the target of the prior determination process, or the first special number acquired immediately before the first special random number value or the second special random number value Pre-reading effect is produced during the time until the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is finished for the random number value or the second special random number value 6 to be executed. In the present embodiment, as the pre-reading effect, for example, the color or the shape of the first holding image 420 corresponding to the first special random number value targeted for the pre-reading effect or the second holding image 422 corresponding to the second special random value. Change, display an effect image around the first hold image 420 or the second hold image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from a normal background image. Or In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, the prefetching effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the gaming state is the definite change state or the short time state, the first special random number value is I try not to perform pre-reading effects.

  Here, the effect control means 300 determines if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot has won or if the jackpot has not been won, the special lottery with the reach effect pattern Only when the effect is performed, the prefetch effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random value to be subjected to the predetermination process.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 does not win the jackpot in the jackpot determination process performed as the preliminary determination process, the first special random number value or the second special object to be subjected to the preliminary determination process A second indeterminate value (second value) in which the variation group determination random value included in the random value is a first indeterminate value (a first range value) which is any of 0 to 69, or which is any of 70 to 89 It is determined whether it is a value of the range) or a fixed value (value of the third range) which is any of 90 to 99. Then, when the variation group determination random number value is the first indefinite value, the first indefinite value information is set as the preliminary determination result, and when the variation group determination random number value is the second indefinite value, the second indefinite value is determined. Value information is set as a predetermination result, and when the variation group determination random value is a fixed value, fixed value information is set as the predetermination result.

  Then, if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the preliminary determination result is that the jackpot has not been won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the preliminary determination result includes fixed value information. When fixed value information is included, a pre-reading effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not pre-reading effect is to be performed for the first special random number value or the second special random value to be subjected to the pre-determination processing.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the time when the prior determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value, and the time when the special lottery for the same first special random value or the second special random value is performed. If a special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value targeted for pre-reading effect even if the number of reservations changes, the jackpot wins or the jackpot does not win Even if it is, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

3. Control Method of this Embodiment Hereinafter, the control method of this embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 15 shows the left specific symbol image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in place of the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 when a specific effect pattern is selected as the effect pattern of the special lottery effect. It is a figure for demonstrating the detail of 500, a middle specific symbol image 502, and the right specific symbol image 504. FIG. In the present embodiment, when a specific effect pattern is selected, the effect control means 300 displays “8” and “7” (lottery) in the left part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, as shown in FIG. Of the left specific symbol image 500 showing that the player is made to identify the result of the game with the left specific symbol image 500 showing “6” and “5” (display of making the player distinguish the result of the lottery) , “4” and “3” (display for causing the player to identify the result of the lottery), “2” and “1” (for causing the player to identify the result of the lottery) The left specified symbol image 500 of the left specified symbol image group 510 in which the left specified symbol image 500 indicating “displayed” is arranged in the vertical direction is displayed, and “8” is displayed in the central part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 From to 1 One of the middle specified symbol image group 512 in which the middle specified symbol images 502 in eight types showing any of the digit numbers (display for making the player identify the result of the lottery) are arranged in descending order A middle specific symbol image 504 is displayed, and in the right part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, “7” and “8” (display for making the player identify the result of the lottery) Right specific symbol image 504 showing "5" and "6" (display for making the player identify the result of lottery), and "3" and "4" (display for making the player distinguish the result of lottery) Right identification symbol image group in which the right identification symbol image 504 indicating “1” and “2” (display for causing the player to identify the result of the lottery) is arranged in the vertical direction Right specific view of 514 To display an image 504.

  Here, each of the four types of left identification symbol images 500 is a left identification portion for the player to identify the type of the symbol image by indicating two one-digit numbers from "1" to "8". 520, and a left decorative portion 521 formed in a long rectangular shape to decorate the left identification portion 520, the left decorative portion 521 is not shown but is shown by a number shown in the left identification portion 520. Different patterns are formed for each combination.

  In addition, each of the eight kinds of middle specific symbol images 502 shows a single digit number from “1” to “8” to indicate the kind of the symbol image by the middle identification portion 522 In addition, the middle decoration portion 523 is provided with a circular decoration portion 523 for decoration of the middle identification portion 522, and although not shown, the middle decoration portion 523 is provided for each combination of numbers shown in the middle identification portion 522 Different patterns are formed.

  In addition, each of the four types of right specific symbol images 504 is a right identification portion 524 for the player to identify the type of the symbol image by indicating two one-digit numbers from “1” to “8”. And a right decorative portion 525 formed in a long rectangular shape to decorate the right identification portion 524. The right decoration portion 525 is not shown but is a combination of numbers shown in the right identification portion 524. Different patterns are formed for each.

  And in the left specific design image 500 and the right specific design image 504 which show the combination of the same number, the pattern common to the left decoration part 521 and the right decoration part 525 is formed. For example, the left decorative portion 521 of the left specific symbol image 500 indicating "8" and "7" and the right decorative portion 525 of the right specific symbol image 504 indicating "7" and "8" have a common pattern formed. Other common symbols are formed on the left decorative portion 521 of the left specified symbol image 500 indicating “6” and “5” and the right decorative portion 525 of the right specified symbol image 504 indicating “5” and “6”. It is done.

  Then, when the production control means 300 variably displays each of the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504, the left specified symbol image group 510, the middle specified symbol image group 512 and the right specified image are displayed. In the case where each of the symbol image group 514 is displayed so as to cyclically move downward and the left specific symbol image 500, the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed, The specific symbol image group 510, the middle specific symbol image group 512, and the right specific symbol image group 514 are each stopped at a position according to the result of the special lottery, but displayed as a temporary stop so as to slightly shake, and the left specific symbol image 500 When the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 are to be displayed in a fixed stop, the left specific symbol image group 510, the middle specific Each pattern image group 512 and the right specific symbols image group 514, finalizing stopped and displayed so as to rest at a position corresponding to the result of the special lottery.

That is, in the example of FIG. 17A, the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the double reach mode.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 17B, reproduction and display of the effect moving image corresponding to the determined effect pattern is started, and instead of the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502, and the right specified symbol image 504, At the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced left specified symbol image 530 corresponding to the left specified symbol image 500, the reduced specific symbol image 532 corresponding to the middle specified symbol image 502, and the reduced right corresponding to the right specified symbol image 504 The specific symbol image 534 is displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 17B, while the reduced left specified symbol image 530 and the reduced right specified symbol image 534 are temporarily stopped in the double reach mode, the reduced specific symbol image 532 is variably displayed.

  When the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 17C, the effect animation in which the character A wins the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, as well as the liquid crystal display At the upper right of the 32 display areas, for example, the specific symbol image 532 during reduction indicating “2” is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the reduced left specific symbol image 530, the specific symbol image 532 during reduction and the reduced right specific symbol image 534 A temporary stop is displayed. Then, the effect moving image in which the character A wins the character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 17 (D), the left specific symbol image 500 provisionally displayed in the jackpot manner at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, After the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 17 (E), the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502, and the right specified symbol image 504 stop being decided in the jackpot manner Is displayed.

  On the other hand, when the big hit is not won, as shown in FIG. 17F, the effect moving image in which the character A loses the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, In the upper right of the display area of the display 32, for example, the specific symbol image 532 during reduction indicating “5” is temporarily stopped and displayed, the reduced left specific symbol image 530, the specific symbol image 532 during reduction and the reduced right specific symbol image 534 The temporary stop is displayed. Then, the effect moving image in which the character A loses to the character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 17 (G), the left specific symbol image 500 provisionally displayed in a reach-loss mode at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, After the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 17 (H), the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504 are stopped in the reach-less mode. Is displayed.

  And in this embodiment, in the special lottery effect for one special lottery, the fluctuation display and temporary stop display of the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504 (hereinafter referred to as symbol fluctuation effect) Is repeated a plurality of times, so that a so-called pseudo-continuous effect may be performed to increase the player's expectation for the jackpot.

  FIG. 18 is a view showing an example of an effect pattern of the special lottery effect displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 when the pseudo continuous effect is executed. In this example, the first special random number value is read out from the first special hold storage area 1 while the first special random number value is held in each of the first special hold storage area 1 to the first special hold storage area 3 When the special lottery is performed, as shown in FIG. 18A, the first suspension image 420 displayed in the first suspension display area 411 moves to the suspension display area 430, and the left specific symbol image is displayed. First, the first hold image 420 displayed in the second hold display area 412 and the third hold display area 413 is displayed as the first hold, while the variable display of the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 is started. The display area 411 and the second hold display area 412 are respectively moved.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18B, for example, the left specific symbol image 500 indicating “4” and “3” is temporarily stopped, and then the right specific symbol image 504 indicating “3” and “4” is tentatively displayed. By being stopped and displayed, the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode (predetermined mode). Then, as shown in FIG. 18C, the special middle symbol image 540 indicating the character of “NEXT” is temporarily stopped and displayed, and the first symbol variation effect is finished, and the second symbol variation effect is displayed. As shown in FIG. 18 (D), the left identification symbol image 500, middle identification, is notified that execution is notified and the left identification symbol image 500, the special middle symbol image 540, and the right identification symbol image 504 are not displayed as fixed stops. The variable display of the symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 is resumed (re-variation display). Here, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed, the position of the first reserved image 420 does not change even if the variable display of the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502, and the right specified symbol image 504 is resumed.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18C, the left specified symbol image 500 and the middle specified symbol image are displayed in a state in which the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in the reach mode. When the variable display of 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 is resumed, as shown in FIG. 18 (D), the two left identification portions 520 (left specific symbol image 500 of the left specified symbol image 500 displayed temporarily in the reach mode) Identification display) and two right identification parts 524 (identification display) of the right specific symbol image 504 are displayed so as to remain. In the example of FIG. 18D, the left identification portion 520 indicating “4” and the left identification portion 520 indicating “3” remain in a state of temporary stop display, and the right identification portion 524 indicating “3” and The right identification portion 524 indicating “4” is displayed so as to remain in a state of temporary stop display.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (E), for example, the left specific symbol image 500 indicating “2” and “1” is temporarily stopped, and then the right specific symbol image 504 indicating “1” and “2” is tentatively displayed. When the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach mode by being stopped and displayed, “4”, “3”, “2” and “1” in the left specific symbol image 500 Is displayed, and “3”, “4”, “1” and “2” are shown in the right specific symbol image 504, and the left identification part 520 and the right Increase the identification display for temporary stop display). In the example shown in FIG. 18E, “4”, “3”, “2” and “1” are shown in the left specific symbol image 500, and “3”, “4”, in the right specific symbol image 504. Although “1” and “2” are displayed, the left specific symbol image 500 indicating “2” and “1” and the right indicating “1” and “2” are displayed for the symbol variation effect of this time. Since the specific symbol image 504 is temporarily stopped, a pattern corresponding to “2” and “1” is formed on the left decorative portion 521 of the left specific symbol image 500, and the right decorative portion of the right specific symbol image 504 is displayed. In 525, patterns corresponding to "1" and "2" are formed.

  That is, the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in reach mode in the first symbol change effect, and the left is different from the first symbol change effect in the second symbol change effect. When the specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in the reach mode, two numbers shown in the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504, respectively, in the first symbol variation effect, A jackpot is formed if the middle specific symbol image 502 showing one of the two numbers shown in each of the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 in the second symbol variation effect is displayed temporarily It is supposed to be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18E, after the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in the quadruple reach mode, as shown in FIG. The special middle symbol image 540 showing the character "NEXT" again is not displayed temporarily but is not shown, but an effect image for notifying the player that it is a quadruple reach is displayed, and the left specific symbol image is displayed. The speed of the variation display of the middle specific symbol image 502 may decrease while the temporary identification symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in the quadruple reach mode. And in this case, when the big hit is won in the special lottery, for example, the middle specified symbol image 502 indicating “1” is temporarily stopped and displayed, the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 The right specific symbol image 504 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode, and then the confirmation stop is displayed, and the effect image for notifying the player that the jackpot has been won is displayed. On the other hand, when the big hit has not been won in the special lottery, for example, by displaying the middle specified symbol image 502 indicating "7" temporarily stopped, the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol After the image 504 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the reach loss mode, the determination is stopped and an effect image is displayed to inform the player that the jackpot has not been won.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in the non-reach mode in the respective symbol variation effects in the pseudo continuous effect, a special middle symbol indicating the character “NEXT” Even if the image 540 is temporarily stopped and the variable display of the left specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504 is resumed, the left specified symbol image 500 that was temporarily stopped in the non-reach mode is displayed. And the two right identification parts 524 of the right specific symbol image 504 do not remain.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, each time the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped in the reach mode, the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 temporarily displayed in the reach mode are displayed. Of the left identification part 520 and the right identification part 524 of the temporary identification display is increased by accumulating and displaying the left identification part 520 and the right To increase the player's sense of expectation that the left specific symbol image 500, the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 will be in the jackpot mode.

  And in this embodiment, when it is repeated that the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed in reach mode four times, the middle specified symbol image 502 indicating any number is temporarily stopped and displayed. Since the jackpot mode is also formed, it is possible to inform the player that the jackpot has been won without waiting for the middle specific symbol image 502 to be temporarily stopped and displayed.

4. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the ones described in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made. The modifications will be introduced below. The above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modifications may be combined as appropriate as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  First, in the above-described embodiment, the plurality of left specific symbol images 500 and the plurality of right specific symbol images 504 each show two 1-digit numbers, respectively. Each of the symbol image 500 and the plurality of right specific symbol images 504 may indicate one digit.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment gave and demonstrated the example which makes the left identification part 520 and the right identification part 524 which make a temporary stop display increase, whenever the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporary stop-displayed, It may be made to increase the number (identification display) which the left specific symbol image 500 which makes temporary stop display indicate, and the number (identification display) which the right specific symbol image 504 shows, the left specific symbol image 500 which makes temporary stop display (identification Display) and right specific symbol image 504 (identification display) may be increased, or an image obtained by reducing left specific symbol image 500 to be temporarily stopped and displayed (identification display) and right specified symbol image 504 to be temporarily stopped and displayed. The reduced image (identification display) may be increased. That is, every time the identification display is temporarily stopped, the identification display to be temporarily stopped may be increased.

  Further, in the above embodiment, each time the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed, the two left identification portions of the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 displayed temporarily stop are displayed. Although the example which accumulates and displays 520 and the two right identification parts 524 was mentioned and explained, the two left identification parts 520 and two of each of the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 displayed temporary stop are displayed The right identification part 524 is accumulated and displayed, and the left identification part 520 and the one right identification part 524 of the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 displayed temporarily stop are accumulated and displayed It may be possible to That is, each time the identification display is temporarily stopped, the identification display to be temporarily stopped may be increased by one or may be increased by two.

  In the above embodiment, the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 temporarily displayed in the reach mode are accumulated each time the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 are temporarily stopped in the reach mode. Although the example to be displayed has been described, the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 temporarily displayed in the lost mode are displayed each time the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost mode. May be accumulated and displayed, and each time the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 are temporarily stopped in the reach mode or in the lost mode, the temporary stop mode is displayed in the reach mode or the lost mode. The left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 may be accumulated and displayed. That is, every time the identification display is temporarily stopped in the reach mode or the lost mode, the identification display to be temporarily stopped may be increased.

  In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 temporarily displayed are accumulated and displayed each time the left specified effect pattern 500 and the right specified effect pattern 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed. As described above, even if the left identification effect pattern 500 and the right identification effect pattern 504 are temporarily stopped, the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 temporarily displayed are accumulated and displayed. The left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 may not be accumulated and displayed. That is, even if the identification display is temporarily stopped, there may be a case where the identification displayed in the temporary stop display is accumulated and displayed, or a case where the identification displayed in temporary stop display is not accumulated and displayed.

  In the above embodiment, when the variable display of the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 is resumed, the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 are displayed so as to remain in the state of temporary stop display. Although an example was given and demonstrated, when the variable display of the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 is resumed, the left identification part 520 and the right identification part 524 do not remain in the state of temporary stop display, and the left When the specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 are temporarily stopped and displayed, the left identification portion 520 and the right identification corresponding to the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 temporarily displayed in the previous symbol variation production A left identification portion 52 corresponding to the portion 524 and the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 to be temporarily displayed for temporary stop in this symbol variation effect And right identification portion 524 may be are temporarily stopped and displayed. That is, when the variable display of the identification display is resumed, the identification display does not remain in the temporary stop display state, and when the identification display is temporarily displayed, the identification display displayed temporarily stop in the previous symbol change effect. Alternatively, the identification display for temporary stop display in the current symbol variation effect may be temporary stop display.

  In this case, if the identification display is temporarily stopped, the identification display displayed temporarily in the previous symbol change effect and the identification display that is temporarily displayed in the current symbol change effect are displayed temporarily If the identification display for temporary stop display in the previous symbol change production is not temporarily stopped and the identification display for temporary stop display in the current symbol change production may be temporarily stopped, the previous time It is possible to enhance the player's sense of tension as to whether or not the identification display displayed as temporary stop display in the symbol change production of is also displayed as temporary stop display in the current symbol change production. That is, when the identification display displayed temporarily stop is accumulated and displayed, and the identification display displayed temporary stop displayed may not be displayed, the identification display displayed temporary stop is accumulated and displayed. This can increase the player's sense of tension as to whether or not he

  In the above embodiment, when the variable display of the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 is resumed, the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 are displayed so as to remain in the state of temporary stop display. Although the example has been described, not only the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 but also the left decoration portion 521 and the right decoration portion 525 remain in the state of temporary stop display, that is, the left identification displayed temporary stop The symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 may be displayed so as to remain in a state of temporary stop display. In this case, the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 of the normal pattern, and the left specified symbol image 500 and the right specified symbol image 504 of the special pattern are prepared, and the left specified symbol image 500 and the right of the special pattern are prepared. When the specific symbol image 504 is displayed, the pseudo continuous effect is executed or the symbol variation effect often continues, that is, the variation of the left specific symbol image 500, the middle specific symbol image 502, and the right specific symbol image 504 The display may be often resumed. Then, before the variable display of left specified symbol image 500, middle specified symbol image 502 and right specified symbol image 504 is started in the special lottery effect for one special drawing, left specified symbol image 500 of the normal pattern and It may be made to be switched from the right specific symbol image 504 to the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 of the special pattern, or the fluctuation display of the left specific symbol image 500, the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 During temporary stop display of the middle specified symbol image 500, the middle specified symbol image 502 and the right specified symbol image 504, the left specified symbol image 500 of the normal pattern and the left specified symbol image 500 of the special pattern from the right specified symbol image 504 And may be switched to the right specific symbol image 504, for the second and subsequent symbol variation effects There are, may be switched from the left specific symbols image 500 and the right specific symbols image 504 of the normal pattern in the left specific symbols image 500 and the right specific symbols image 504 of the special pattern.

  In the above embodiment, the left decorative portion 521 of the left specific symbol image 500 and the right decorative portion 525 of the right specific symbol image 504 are formed with different patterns for each of the numbers shown in the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524. For example, as shown in FIG. 18 (B), FIG. 18 (E), FIG. 18 (H) and FIG. Although the design corresponding to 520 and the right identification part 524 was explained taking the example which is formed in each of the left decoration part 521 and the right decoration part 525, the left identification part 520 and the right identification part 524 which make temporary stop display increase In the case of causing the symbol change effect of the current time, a special pattern different from the pattern corresponding to the left identification part 520 and the right The decorative portion 521 and the left specific symbols image 500 and the right specific symbols image 504 formed on each of the right decorative portion 525 may be configured to temporarily stop the display. In this case, even if the number of the left identification portion 520 and the right identification portion 524 stored and displayed is small, a plurality of special patterns having different degrees of expectation of the jackpot are prepared. The player's expectation for winning of the jackpot is displayed by temporarily stopping and displaying the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 in which the special pattern with high expectation is formed on the left decorative portion 521 and the right decorative portion 525 respectively. If there are a large number of left identification parts 520 and right identification parts 524 displayed so as to enhance the feeling or accumulated and displayed, the special pattern having a higher expectation of the jackpot of the left decorative part 521 and the right decorative part 525 is increased. By temporarily stopping and displaying the left specific symbol image 500 and the right specific symbol image 504 respectively formed, it is possible for the player to win the jackpot. A sense of waiting may be or to further increase.

  The left specific symbol image 500, the middle specific symbol image 502, and the middle specific symbol image 502 are output by outputting specific sound effects from the speaker 14 when temporarily displaying the left specific symbol image 500, the middle specific symbol image 502, and the right specific symbol image 504 The player may easily recognize that the right specific symbol image 504 has been temporarily stopped and displayed. In this case, different sound effects may be output in the case where the identification display for temporary stop display is increased by one and the case in which the identification display is increased by two, or the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 are displayed. The sound effect output from the speaker 14 at the time of temporary stop display and the sound effect output from the speaker 14 at the time of the stop display of the middle specific symbol image 502 and the right specific symbol image 504 may be the same sound effect.

  Further, in the above embodiment and modification example, in the special lottery effect for one special lottery, an example in which the identification display for temporarily stopping display is increased every time the identification display is temporarily stopped and displayed is described. Over the special lottery effect for the special drawing of the round, the identification display for displaying the temporary stop or the confirmation stop may be increased each time the identification display is the temporary stop display or the confirmation stop display.

  In this case, when the execution of the specific effect pattern is determined as the pre-reading effect, the special drawing for the special drawing performed prior to the special drawing using the first special random number value for which the pre-reading effect is determined to be performed. In each of the special lottery effects from the effect to the special lottery effect for the special lottery using the first special random number for which the execution of the prefetch effect is determined, the identification display is temporarily stopped or confirmed in each special lottery effect, The identification display for displaying the temporary stop or the fixed stop may be increased.
