As a result, the interest of the game can be improved while improving the player's awareness of the manufacturer of the gaming machine.

Moreover, you may make it provide the following structures. For example, as a gaming machine (5)
A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that performs variable display and can be controlled in an advantageous state (for example, a big hit state) advantageous to the player,
As said advantageous state, game control means (for example, controllable to a first advantageous state (for example, 16R big hit) and a second advantageous state (for example, 7R big hit) which is more disadvantageous for the player than said first advantageous state (for example, A game control microcomputer 560);
On-hold storage means (for example, the RAM 55 of the game control microcomputer 560) that stores information relating to variable display as on-hold information (for example, on-hold storage);
When controlled to the advantageous state, if the specific storage information that is specified to be controlled to the advantageous state is stored in the storage device, the fact that the specific storage information is stored is notified First effect execution means (for example, effect control microcomputer 100, step S161 in FIG. 3) capable of executing the first effect (for example, the reserved continuous effect shown in FIG. 5A);
From the end of the advantageous state in which the first effect is executed by the first effect execution means to the start of the specific variable display corresponding to the specific hold information (for example, FIG. C1) and second effect execution means (for example, the effect control microcomputer 100, which can execute the chance effect continuous notice effect shown by (D1) and the background effect continuous notice effect shown by (C2) and (D2) in FIG. 5). Step S167) of FIG.
The second effect executing means varies the ratio of executing the second effect depending on whether the second effect state is controlled or when the second effect state is controlled (see, for example, FIG. 4). )
.

  According to such a configuration, after the first effect is executed, the degree of expectation controlled in the first advantageous state and the second advantageous state differs depending on whether or not the second effect is executed. Can attract the attention of the player. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(6) In the gaming machine of (5) above,
There are a plurality of types of the second effects (see, for example, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 (C1), (D1), (C2), (D2)),
The second effect executing means varies a ratio of executing each of a plurality of types of the second effects depending on whether the first effect state is controlled or the second effect state is controlled (for example, FIG. 4).

  According to such a configuration, since the degree of expectation controlled to the first advantageous state and the second advantageous state differs depending on the type of the second effect, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the type of the second effect. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(7) In the gaming machine of (5) or (6) above,
The second effect execution means can execute the second effect a plurality of times, and the ratio controlled to the first advantageous state differs depending on the number of executions of the second effect (for example, in the first advantageous state). The second effect is executed so that the number of times of execution of the second effect increases when controlled.)

  According to such a configuration, since the degree of expectation controlled to the advantageous state differs depending on the number of times the second effect is executed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of times the second effect is executed. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(8) In any of the above gaming machines (5) to (7),
Hold display means (for example, production control microcomputer 100, production display device 9) capable of displaying a hold display (for example, a hold display shown in FIG. 5A) corresponding to the hold information stored in the hold storage means. )
When the first effect is executed by the first effect executing means, the hold display means displays the hold display corresponding to the specific hold information in a specific mode (for example, in the hold display shown in FIG. The display can be changed to (character symbol hold display) (for example, step S162 in FIG. 3).

  According to such a configuration, when the first effect is executed, the hold display in the specific mode may be performed, so that it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the hold display in the specific mode is performed. . As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(9) In any of the above gaming machines (5) to (8),
The second effect executing means can execute the second effect from the first variable display after the advantageous state where the first effect was executed (for example, in steps S166 and S167 in FIG. 3). The predetermined effect is executed from the first variable display after the end of the big hit state).

  According to such a configuration, the second effect is executed from the beginning of the period from when the advantageous state in which the first effect is executed to when the variable display corresponding to the specific hold information is started. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(10) In any of the gaming machines (5) to (9) above,
There are a plurality of types of the second effects, and the second effects that can be executed only when the first effects are executed by the first effect executing means (for example, FIGS. 5C1 and 5D as predetermined effects). And the second effect that can be executed even when the first effect is not executed (for example, the background effect sequence shown in FIGS. 5C2 and 5D as a predetermined effect). Notice).

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the dedicated second effect and the combined second effect is executed. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

(11) In any of the gaming machines (5) to (10) above,
Flag storage means (for example, effects) for storing an effect flag corresponding to the type of advantageous state corresponding to the specific hold information stored in the hold storage means (for example, a hold continuous flag corresponding to the jackpot type of the hold memory) A control microcomputer 100, a RAM 103, and steps S156 and S169) of FIG.
The second effect executing means determines an execution mode of the second effect based on the effect flag stored in the flag storage means (for example, step S164 in FIG. 3), and determines the determined second effect. Is executed (for example, step S167 in FIG. 3).

  According to such a configuration, since the execution mode of the second effect is determined later based on the effect flag, the second effect can be determined and executed according to the state of the gaming machine at the time of determination. As a result, the second effect according to the state of the gaming machine can be executed.

(12) In any of the gaming machines (5) to (11) above,
In the specific variable display, a specific effect (for example, a jackpot finalizing effect from a dark turn effect based on a variation pattern of the reserved consecutive A big hit set in step S127 of FIG. 7. FIGS. 8E to 8G and 8. (C) to FIG. 8 (E)) are further provided with specific effect execution means (for example, the effect control microcomputer 100, step S127 in FIG. 7),
When the predetermined condition (for example, the condition that there is a holding memory) is established in the advantageous state controlled in advance, the second effect executing means is configured to perform the advantageous state controlled in advance. From the time of control to the execution of the specific variable display, it is possible to execute a second effect related to the specific effect (for example, the darkening effect continued in step S125 of FIG. 7; see FIG. 8D). Yes,
The specific effect execution means can execute the specific effect in the specific variable display of the advantageous state later regardless of whether the second effect is executed by the second effect execution means (for example, 8 (E) to FIG. 8 (G) and FIG. 9 (C) to FIG. 9 (E), the same effects based on the fluctuation pattern of the reserved reaming A big hit set in step S127 of FIG. Is executed.)

  According to such a configuration, in the specific variable display that triggers the control of the subsequent advantageous state, whether or not the second effect has been executed before the specific variable display is executed after the control of the previous advantageous state. Regardless, specific effects can be executed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the processing burden because it is not necessary to change the production while giving a special feeling that the advantageous state is after the previous advantageous state.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A pachinko gaming machine is shown as an example of a gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine, and may be another gaming machine such as a coin gaming machine or a slot machine, which is in an advantageous state advantageous to a player. Any gaming machine that can be controlled may be used.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 that is an example of a gaming machine will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as seen from the front.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 performs a predetermined game as described below by driving a game ball as a game medium into the game area 7. The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an outer frame and a game frame attached to the inside of the outer frame so as to be opened and closed. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 provided on the game frame so as to be opened and closed.

  On the lower surface of the glass door frame 2 is a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3. Under the hitting ball supply tray 3, there are provided an extra ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, a hitting operation handle 5 for firing the hitting ball, and the like. Inside the pachinko gaming machine 1, a ball hitting device for hitting a game ball into the game area 7 according to the operation of the ball hitting operation handle 5 is provided. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. On the front surface of the game board 6, a game area 7 is formed in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  The member forming the hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3 is provided with a push button 120 as an operation means. The player's operation action on the push button 120 is detected by the push sensor 124 (see FIG. 2).

  In the vicinity of the center of the game area 7, there is provided an effect display device 9 capable of variably displaying (also referred to as variable display) effect symbols as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. On the right side of the effect display device 9 in the game area 7, a first special symbol display 8 a that variably displays a first special symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each, and a plurality of types that can identify each of them. And a second special symbol display 8b for variably displaying the second special symbol as the identification information.

  Each of the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b is configured by a display (for example, a 7-segment LED) capable of displaying numbers and characters in a variable manner. The effect display device 9 is composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD), and displays various images such as a variation display of the effect symbol synchronized with the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol on the display screen. An area is provided. In such a display area, for example, a symbol display area for variably displaying three decorative (effect) effect symbols “left”, “middle”, and “right” is formed.

A winning device having a first start winning port 13 is provided below the effect display device 9. A game ball won in the first start winning opening 13 is detected by the first start opening switch 13a. A variable winning ball device 15 having a second starting winning port 14 through which a game ball can be won is provided below the winning device having the first starting winning port 13. The game ball won in the second start winning opening 14 is detected by the second start opening switch 14a.

  The variable winning ball device 15 includes a pair of left and right movable pieces. The variable winning ball device 15 has an open state (first state) that is advantageous to the player (game balls can enter) and a closed state that is disadvantageous to the player (game balls cannot enter). The winning means is changeable to a state (second state) and is driven by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, the game ball can be awarded to the second starting winning port 14 (it is easier to start winning). When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, the game ball cannot be won in the second start winning opening 14. Note that the variable winning ball apparatus 15 may be configured so that it is difficult to win in a closed state, but it is possible to win (a game ball is difficult to win). The variable winning ball device 15 includes variable winning means that can change between a first state in which a game ball can enter a predetermined area and a second state in which the game ball cannot enter or difficult to enter the predetermined area. It only has to be.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, there is no area where the variable winning ball device 15 can receive the game ball, so that the game ball is easier to win the first start winning port 13 than the second start winning port 14. On the other hand, when the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, an area in which the variable winning ball device 15 can receive a game ball is larger than that of the first starting winning port 13, so It is easy for a game ball to win the start winning opening 14. Hereinafter, the first start winning opening 13 and the second start winning opening 14 may be collectively referred to as a start winning opening or a starting opening.

  On the left side of the effect display device 9, there is provided a normal symbol display 10 for variably displaying normal symbols that can be distinguished from each other. The normal symbol display 10 is realized by a display (for example, 7-segment LED) that can display numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display 10 is started. When the stop symbol resulting from the fluctuation display result on the normal symbol display 10 becomes a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state for a predetermined number of times and for a predetermined time. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. Each time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol variation display is held and stored, and the normal symbol hold memory display 41 increments the LED to be turned on by one. Each time the variable symbol display on the normal symbol display 10 is started based on the normal symbol hold memory, the normal symbol hold memory is consumed and the number of LEDs to be turned on is reduced by one.

  The variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol indicates that the game ball enters (including passing and winning) the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14 as a start winning area. A first start condition (first execution condition) or a second start condition (second execution condition), which is an execution condition for variation display, is established by detection by the mouth switch 13a or the second start port switch 14a. Thereafter, the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is, for example, a case where the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the variation display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed, And it is started based on the fact that the start condition of the variable display that becomes the state where the big hit game is not executed is satisfied. The variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol ends when the variation display time (variation time) elapses, and the display result (stop symbol) of the variation display is derived and displayed. Further, regarding the variable display in which the start condition is not yet established even though the game ball has entered the start winning area such as the first starting winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14, it is within a predetermined upper limit range. The storage of information in this way is called hold storage. The on-hold storage due to the entry of the game ball to the first start winning opening 13 is referred to as a first on-hold storage. The on-hold storage due to the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 14 is referred to as a second on-hold storage.

  Above the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b, a first special symbol reservation storage display 18a and a second special symbol reservation storage display 18b are provided. The 1st special symbol reservation memory indicator 18a consists of four indicators which display the number of reservation memory of the 1st reservation memory. The second special symbol reserved memory display 18b includes four indicators that display the number of reserved memories stored in the second reserved memory. Each of the first special symbol reserved memory display 18a and the second special symbol reserved memory indicator 18b increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 each time there is a corresponding effective start winning, and the corresponding special symbol indicator Each time the variable display at is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  When the variation display of the first special symbol is executed on the first special symbol display 8a, the effect display such as the variation display of the effect symbol is executed on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the variation display. When the variation display of the second special symbol is executed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display such as the variation display of the effect symbol is executed on the effect display device 9 corresponding to the variation display.

  When the special symbol and effect symbol variation display is executed and the first special symbol display unit 8a displays the big hit display result (big hit symbol) as the specific display result, or the second special symbol display unit 8b specifies When the jackpot display result (hit symbol) as the display result is derived and displayed, the effect display device 9 also derives and displays the jackpot display result (combination of jackpot symbol) as the specific display result. In this way, when the specific display result is displayed as the variable display result, the specific game state (big hit game state) is controlled as an advantageous state to which a value advantageous to the player is given.

  Further, in the effect display device 9, symbols other than the symbol that will be the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol of the left and right middle symbols) have continued for a predetermined time, and the jackpot symbol (for example, the left middle right symbol is aligned with the same symbol) Stops, swings, scales, or deforms in a state that matches the symbol combination), or multiple symbols fluctuate synchronously in the same symbol, or the position of the display symbol is switched An effect performed in a state where the possibility of occurrence of a big hit is continued before the final result is displayed (hereinafter, these states are referred to as reach states) is referred to as reach effect.

  Here, in the reach state, when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 9 constitute a part of the jackpot combination, the change of the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed is continued. This is a display state in which all or part of the effect symbols are synchronously changing while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. In other words, reach means a state in which identification information constitutes a specific display result in a plurality of variable display areas, but at least some of the variable areas are in variable display. In this embodiment, the reach state is formed, for example, in a state where the same symbol is stopped in the left and right symbol display areas and the symbol is not stopped in the middle symbol display area. The symbols stopped in the left and right symbol display areas when the reach state is formed are called reach formation symbols or reach symbols.

  Some reach is set so that when it appears, a big hit is more likely to occur than normal reach (normal reach). Such a special reach is called super reach. The reach includes a normal reach, which is a basic reach, as a reach other than a special super reach. Normal reach is set so that big hits are less likely to occur than super reach.

  In the super reach, after a reach symbol is formed, a complicated effect display that improves the player's expectation of the effect, such as displaying a predetermined moving image, is executed. In normal reach, a relatively simple effect display is executed.

After reaching the reach state, when a reach display result is obtained in the form in which the reach symbol is formed, the reach is called “displacement”. In addition, when a reach display result is obtained in a mode in which a reach pattern is not formed without being in a reach state, this is called non-reach shift.

  In addition, on the lower end portion in the display area of the effect display device 9, an image for displaying the generated stored storage information (hereinafter referred to as a stored image or display) is displayed in correspondence with the number of the stored storage information. A display area is formed (not shown). In addition, during the execution of the variable display corresponding to the hold display that has been erased (moved or shifted) from the hold display area, the information includes the active display corresponding to the variable display (also referred to as the variable display). An active display area for displaying an image is formed adjacent to the hold display area.

  Below the variable winning ball apparatus 15, an open / close plate driven by a solenoid 21 is provided. The open state (first state) is advantageous for the player (the game ball can enter) and disadvantageous for the player (the game ball is A special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is provided as a winning means that can change to a closed state (second state) that cannot be entered. In the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, when the open / close plate is controlled to be in the open state in the big hit gaming state, the big winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. The game ball that has entered the big winning opening is detected as a winning ball by the count switch 23. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 may be configured so that it is difficult to win in a closed state, but it is possible to win (a game ball is difficult to win).

  In the big hit gaming state, repeated continuous control is performed in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 repeats an open state and a closed state. In the repeated continuation control, a state where the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened is called a round. A game in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened by repeated continuation control in a round is called a round game. In the big hit game state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened, a predetermined release state end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) has elapsed in the opened state, or a predetermined number (for example, The closed state is established in response to the establishment of (the opening end condition that 10) winning balls have been generated). When the opening end condition is satisfied, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until reaching the final round (for example, the 15th round) in which the number of times of opening in the big hit gaming state becomes a predetermined upper limit value.

  There are a plurality of types of jackpots, and when it is determined to be a jackpot, one of the jackpot types is selected. Among the types of “big hit”, after being controlled to the big hit gaming state, the special gaming state has a higher probability of being determined to be a big hit compared to the normal state (a normal gaming state that is not a probable change state). The type of jackpot (type) that shifts to a probability variation state (abbreviation of probability variation state, also referred to as a high probability state) is called “probability variation jackpot”. The special gaming state may be controlled to a short time state in which the variation time (variation display period) of the special symbol or effect symbol is shortened from the non-short time state in association with the probability variation state. The special gaming state may be controlled to the short time state independently of the probability changing state.

  In this way, the transition time to the short-time state reduces the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol. Therefore, when the short-time state is reached, it is easy for an effective start winning to occur, and a big hit game may be performed. Rise. Of the “hit”, a type of jackpot (type) that is controlled to the big hit gaming state and does not shift to the probable change state is called “ordinary big hit”.

  As the special gaming state, the variable winning ball device 15 is increased in the open state by increasing the frequency of the variable winning ball device 15 being opened in association with the probability changing state or the short-time state, thereby increasing the frequency at which the game ball enters the variable winning ball device 15 and variable winning. There is a case where it is controlled to an electric chew support control state that facilitates the winning to the ball device 15 (higher approach, higher frequency). Since the electric chew support control state is a high base state as will be described later, in the following description, it is mainly referred to as a high base state.

  Electric Chu support control includes control that shortens the normal symbol variation time and derives and displays the display result at an early stage (normal symbol shortening control), and control that increases the probability that a normal symbol stop symbol will be a winning symbol (normal symbol probability change) Control), control for extending the opening time of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 (opening time extension control), and control for increasing the number of opening of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 (opening number increase control) are performed. When such control is performed, the time ratio during which the variable winning ball device 15 is open is higher than when the control is not performed. As a result, the game ball is likely to start and win (the special symbol display devices 8a and 8b and the effect display device 9 are more likely to satisfy the variable display execution condition). Further, by increasing the winning frequency to the second starting winning port 14 by such control, a gaming state is achieved in which the frequency of establishment of the second starting condition and / or the frequency of execution of the variable display of the second special symbol is increased.

  The state in which the winning frequency to the second start winning opening 14 is increased by such electric Chu support control (high frequency state) is the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls according to the winning with respect to the number of shot balls. Since the ratio “base” is higher than when the control is not performed, it is called “high base state”. When such control is not performed, it is called a “low base state”. Such control is control for facilitating winning in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 by supporting the winning with the variable winning ball apparatus 15, that is, the electric tulip, and is referred to as “electric chew support control”.

  The term “high probability state (probability variation state)” and “low probability state (non-probability variation state)” are used as the terms indicating the state of the big hit probability, and the term “high base state (electricity variation)” is used as the term indicating the combination of the base states. "Chew support control state)" and "Low base state (non-electric Chu support control state)" are used.

  “Low-accuracy low base state” and “high-accuracy high base state” are used as terms indicating a combination of the state of the big hit probability and the base state. The “low probability low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the low probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “high probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the high base state.

  At the lower part of the game board 6, there is an out port 26 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, four speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds are provided outside the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a frame LED 28 provided on the front frame is provided.

  In addition, a prepaid card unit (also simply referred to as a “card unit”) that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (not shown).

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 31. FIG. 2 also shows a payout control board 37, an effect control board 80, and the like. On the main board 31, a game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 560 for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a program is mounted. The game control microcomputer 560 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as a storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 56 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit. 57. The game control microcomputer 560 further includes a random number circuit 503 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means that is partially or entirely backed up by a backup power supply created on a power supply board (not shown). That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data (special symbol process flag, etc.) corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means, and data indicating the number of unpaid winning balls are stored in the backup RAM.

  The random number circuit 503 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to make a big hit based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 503 updates the numerical data according to the set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and generates the random data at random timing. Based on the fact that the starting winning time is the time of reading (extracting) the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the read numerical data becomes a random value. Further, the game control microcomputer 560 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 503.

  Further, an input driver circuit 58 that provides detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 13a, the second start port switch 14a, and the count switch 23 to the game control microcomputer 560 is also mounted on the main board 31. Also, an output circuit 59 for driving the solenoid 16 for opening and closing the variable winning ball device 15 and the solenoid 21 for opening and closing the special variable winning ball device 20 that forms a big winning opening according to a command from the game control microcomputer 560 is also provided. It is mounted on the substrate 31.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 includes a first special symbol display 8a, a second special symbol display 8b, which variably displays special symbols, a normal symbol display 10, which variably displays normal symbols, and a first special symbol hold memory. Display control of the display 18a, the second special symbol storage memory display 18b, and the normal symbol storage memory display 41 is performed.

  The effect control board 80 includes an effect control microcomputer 100, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a VDP 109, an I / O port unit 105, and the like. The ROM 102 stores a program and data for effect control such as display control. The RAM 103 is used as a work memory. The effect control microcomputer 100 includes an effect control CPU 101. The VDP 109 controls display of the effect display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100. The effect control CPU 101 receives the detection signal of the push sensor 124 via the input port 106.

  The game control microcomputer 560 relays an effect control command for instructing the effect contents of various effect devices such as the effect display device 9 in one direction from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80. 77. The effect control microcomputer 100 receives an effect control command and performs variable display control of the effect display device 9, and also performs display control of the frame LED 28 provided on the frame side via the lamp driver board 35. Various effects are controlled by controlling the sound output from the speaker 27 via the sound output board 70.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, when a predetermined main process for game control is executed, a timer interrupt is periodically executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is executed. The game control can be executed. Game control executed when a special game control such as a special symbol such as a first special symbol and a second special symbol is displayed and a big hit game control is executed. The process is executed according to a predetermined process.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, data is extracted from various random counters, and using the extracted data, the big hit determination, the big hit type determination, the fluctuation pattern type determination, the fluctuation pattern determination, the normal hit determination, and the round-dam counter The initial value is determined. The game control microcomputer 560 performs various game controls such as jackpot game control, variation display of the first special symbol, variation display of the second special symbol, and variation display of the normal symbol based on such various determinations. Run.

  In the game control microcomputer 560, predetermined control information such as a jackpot determination result, a jackpot type determination result, a variation pattern type determination result, and a variation pattern determination result based on such various determinations. Is transmitted to the effect control microcomputer 100 as an effect control command that is an effect control instruction command. In the effect control microcomputer 100, based on the received effect control command, the first special symbol variation display, the second special symbol variation display, and an effect adapted to game control such as jackpot control are executed.

  In the production control microcomputer 100, when a predetermined main process for production control is executed, a timer interruption is periodically performed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms, 4 ms, etc.), and the timer interruption process is executed. Thus, various effects control can be executed. A specific effect control such as an effect related to the display of fluctuation of the effect symbol and an effect related to the big hit gaming state is performed according to a predetermined process by an effect control process executed in association with the timer interruption process. Executed.

[On-hold rendition]
Next, the reservation continuous effect in this embodiment will be described. The game control microcomputer 560 has a random value for jackpot determination and a random number value for jackpot type determination when a game ball enters a start winning area such as the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14. And a random value for determining a variation pattern is extracted. Then, if the start condition that can start the variable display such as the condition that the variable display is not being executed or the condition that the jackpot is not being hit is satisfied at the time of starting winning, the variable display is executed based on the extracted random number value.

  On the other hand, the information indicating the extracted random number value is stored in the RAM 55 at the time of starting winning for the variable display in which the starting condition is not yet established even though the game ball has entered the starting winning area. Then, at the time of starting winning, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits to the effect control microcomputer 100 a prefetch result notification command that can specify information indicating whether or not to win, information indicating a variation pattern, and the like. . The hold memory is read out from the old one each time the start condition of the variable display is satisfied, and the variable display is executed based on the read information of the hold memory.

  By receiving such a prefetch result notification command, the production control microcomputer 100 becomes a big hit or a specific variation pattern type until a variation display that becomes a big variation or a specific variation pattern type is executed. It is possible to execute a pre-reading effect that suggests whether or not to notify.

  Such a pre-reading effect may be executed from the time of the previous big hit state to the time when the fluctuation display becomes the next big hit state. In the present embodiment, the prefetching effect that is executed in the previous big hit state is referred to as a reserved continuous effect. The pre-reading effect executed between the end of the previous big hit state and the change display that becomes the later big hit state is called a predetermined effect.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the hold continuous effect process. This on-hold rendition process is
It is executed by the production control microcomputer 100. This on-hold continuous effect process is a collection of the processes related to the on-hold continuous effect among the processes executed in each process of the effect control process.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the effect control CPU 101 of the effect control microcomputer 100 determines whether or not the holding continuous flag is in an off state (step S <b> 151). The hold continuous flag is a flag indicating whether or not to execute a hold continuous effect and a jackpot type of a subsequent jackpot state. If the hold continuous flag is in the off state, it indicates that the hold continuous effect is not executed, and if the hold continuous flag indicates the big hit type of the later big hit state, it indicates that the hold continuous effect is executed. In this embodiment, there are two types of jackpot types: 16 round jackpot and 7 round jackpot. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there are three or more jackpot types if there are multiple jackpot types. Also good.

  When it is determined that the pending continuous flag is in the off state (NO in step S151), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is the start of the big hit state (step S152). When it is determined that the big hit state starts (YES in step S152), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not there is a holding memory specified to be controlled to the big hit state (step S153). At the time of starting winning, a pre-reading result notification command indicating whether or not a big hit, a small hit or not, and a determination result of the type of the big win among the winning determination results is sent from the main board 31 to the effect control board 80. The determination result indicated by this command is stored in the RAM 103 as information corresponding to the hold storage. Based on this determination result, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not there is a hold memory specified to be controlled to the big hit state.

  When it is determined that there is a hold memory specified to be controlled to the big hit state (YES in step S153), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not to execute the hold continuous effect (step S154). For example, it is determined that the reserved continuous effect is executed with a probability of 50%. In addition, you may determine to perform a reservation continuous effect with another probability, for example, a probability of 100%.

  Then, the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is determined to execute the hold continuous effect (step S155). When it is determined that it is determined to execute the hold continuous effect (YES in step S155), the effect control CPU 101 sets the value of the hold continuous flag corresponding to the jackpot type of the target hold memory (step S156). For example, when the big hit type is 16 round big hits, the value of the pending consecutive flag is set to a value indicating that it is 16 round big hits. It should be noted that the reserved continuous flag is in an ON state when it is a value corresponding to the jackpot type.

  If it is determined that the hold continuous flag is on (YES in step S151), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether it is time to execute the hold continuous effect in the big hit state (step S160). . If it is determined that it is the timing to execute the hold continuous effect (YES in step S160), the effect control CPU 101 executes the hold continuous effect (step S161), and the hold memory is specified to be controlled to the big hit state. The hold display corresponding to a certain target is changed to a specific form (here, a dedicated character form when the hold continuous effect is executed) different from other hold displays (step S162).

  When it is determined that it is not time to execute the hold continuous effect (NO in step S160), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether it is the end of the previous big hit state (step S163). When it is determined that the previous big hit state has ended (YES in step S163), the presentation control CPU 101 executes the predetermined presentation based on the big hit type specified by the target hold memory indicated by the hold continuous flag. Is determined (step S164).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a table for determining an execution mode of a predetermined effect for a reserved continuous effect. Using this table, the execution mode of the predetermined effect is determined in step S164.

  Referring to FIG. 4, when the target big hit type is 16 round big hit, it is determined with a probability of 80% to execute the chance continuous notice effect as the predetermined effect, and the background effect continuous notice effect is set as the predetermined effect. Execution is determined with a probability of 10%, and non-execution of a predetermined effect is determined with a probability of 10%.

  If the target jackpot type is a 7-round jackpot, it is determined with a probability of 0% that the chance effect continuous notice effect is executed as the predetermined effect, and the background effect continuous notice effect is executed as the predetermined effect is 40%. It is determined with probability, and it is determined with a probability of 60% that the predetermined performance is not executed.

  In the present embodiment, the chance eye continuous notice effect is a dedicated effect that can be executed only when the hold continuous effect is executed in step S161. On the other hand, the background effect continuous notice effect is a combined effect that can be executed even when the reserved continuous effect is not executed. In this way, when the chance continuous notice effect, which is a dedicated effect for the reserved continuous performance, is executed, the expectation of the 16 round jackpot that is more advantageous than the 7 round jackpot that is advantageous for the player is higher. It is possible to make the player pay attention to a predetermined effect after the effect.

  Returning to FIG. 3, when it is determined that the big hit state has not ended (NO in step S163), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is determined to execute the predetermined effect in step S164 (step S165). If it is determined that the predetermined effect is to be executed (YES in step S165), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether it is the execution timing of the predetermined effect (step S166).

  When it is determined that it is the execution timing of the predetermined effect (YES in step S166), the CPU 101 for effect control executes the effect at the timing of the predetermined effect in the execution mode determined in step S164 (step S167). If it is determined to execute the predetermined effect, the variable display before the variable display of the target is a variable display that does not reach the reach state even if the fluctuation pattern becomes the reach state, and the chances are continuously noticed as the predetermined effect. When the effect is determined, the effect control CPU 101 changes the display result of the variable display at a predetermined chance.

  As for the fluctuation display for the upper limit number of pending storage after big hit (four times in this embodiment), the fluctuation pattern of the loss that does not reach reach with respect to the fluctuation display other than the fluctuation display as the big hit is selected. It is also possible to switch to the variation pattern table.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined effect is not to be executed (NO in step S165), and when it is determined that the predetermined effect is not executed (NO in step S166), the effect control CPU 101 stores the target on hold. It is determined whether or not it is the end of the variable display corresponding to (step S168). If it is determined that the target variation display has ended (YES in step S168), the effect control CPU 101 turns off the pending continuous flag (step S169).

FIG. 5 is a screen transition diagram of the reserved continuous effect in the effect display device. Referring to FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 5A, by executing step S <b> 161 of FIG. 3, the hold continuous effect is executed during the previous big hit state. Here, a girl character is displayed, and character information indicating the execution of the reserved continuous effect such as “Congratulations on the reserved continuous!” Is displayed. Note that the reserved continuous effect may be another effect as long as the player can recognize that the reserved continuous effect has been executed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, the target hold display is changed to the character mode by executing step S162 of FIG. Here, the fourth hold display is changed to the character mode.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, at the end of the previous big hit, a screen indicating that the big hit has ended is displayed. At this time, as shown in step S164 of FIG. 3, the execution mode of the predetermined effect is determined.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 5C1 and 5D1, when the chance continuous notice effect is determined as the predetermined effect, step S166 and step S167 in FIG. In the fluctuating display until this time, a chance eye continuous notice effect for displaying a chance item (in this case, a display result in which the right symbol is shifted by one from the jackpot symbol) is executed as a display result.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5 (E1), the jackpot display result is displayed as the display result corresponding to the target hold storage. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, since the chance eye continuous notice effect has been executed, the expectation level of 16 rounds is a big hit.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5C2 and 5D2, when the background effect continuous notice effect is determined as the predetermined effect, steps S166 and S167 of FIG. In this variable display, a background effect continuous notice effect is displayed in which a predetermined image (here, an image showing an exploded state) is displayed as the background effect of the variable display.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5 (E2), the jackpot display result is displayed as a display result corresponding to the target hold storage. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, since the background effect continuous notice effect is executed, the expectation of winning 7 rounds is high.

[Modified example of reserved continuous production]
In the above-described embodiment, when the target holding memory specified to be controlled to the big hit state is stored when the big hit state is controlled, the target holding memory is stored. A predetermined effect can be executed from the end of the big hit state where the hold continuous effect is executed to the start of the variable display corresponding to the target hold memory, and is controlled to 16 rounds big hit. The ratio of executing the predetermined effect is different between when the control is performed and when the big round is controlled by 7 rounds.

  As the reserved continuous effect and the predetermined effect in the above-described embodiment, the reserved continuous effect of the following modification may be applied. In this modification, the pre-reading effect that is executed between the time of the previous big hit state and the subsequent change display that becomes the big hit state is referred to as a reserved continuous effect.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a variation pattern determination table in the modification. Referring to FIG. 6A, if it is determined that the variation pattern of the first to fourth variation display after the big hit in the high probability state and the high base state is out of place, When the “reach out (for other than the holding ream)” is determined and it is determined to be a big hit, either “reserving ream A big hit” or “reserved ream B big hit” is determined.

  “Non-reach out” is a variation pattern that results in a non-reach display as a non-reach, and the variation time is 5 seconds.

  “Holding consecutive A big hit” is a fluctuation pattern that results in a big hit display after the darkening effect and the explosion effect, and the fluctuation time is 10 seconds. The “holding consecutive B big hit” is a fluctuation pattern that becomes a big hit display result after reaching a battle effect and reaching, and the fluctuation time is 30 seconds.

  With reference to FIG. 6B, when it is determined that the variation pattern of the fifth and subsequent variation display after the big hit in the high probability state and the high base state is determined to be out of order, “non-reach out of alignment” If any of (for non-holding) and “reach out” is determined and it is determined to be a big hit, “big hit” is determined. In the fluctuation display after the fifth hit after the big hit, the fluctuation patterns of “holding consecutive A big hit” and “holding consecutive B big hit” are not determined.

  “Reach out” is a variation pattern that results in a dislocation display after reaching reach, and the variation time is 30 seconds. “Big hit” is a fluctuation pattern that results in a big hit display after reaching reach, and the fluctuation time is 30 seconds.

  Note that the variation pattern table shown in FIG. 6 may be used even in a state other than the high probability state and the high base state, or another variation pattern table may be used. Further, in the fifth and subsequent fluctuation displays after the end of the big hit, a battle effect may be executed as a reach effect.

  In this embodiment, one variation pattern for each variation pattern type is shown. That is, the variation pattern type and the variation pattern are synonymous. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and includes a plurality of variation patterns. There may be a variation pattern type. In addition, a variation pattern may be provided in which the same effects as the variation pattern of the reserved continuous A big hit and the reserved continuous B big hit are executed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the reserved continuous effect process in the modified example. The hold continuous effect process is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100. This on-hold continuous effect process is a collection of the processes related to the on-hold continuous effect among the processes executed in each process of the effect control process.

  Referring to FIG. 7, effect control CPU 101 of effect control microcomputer 100 determines whether or not a prefetch result notification command indicating a reserved continuous A big hit or a reserved continuous B big hit has been received (step S <b> 111). When it is determined that it has been received (YES in step S111), the production control CPU 101 turns on the hold continuous A flag or the hold continuous B flag, respectively.

  The effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not the reserved reaming A flag is on, that is, whether or not the reserving continuous A effect is being executed (step S121). When it is determined that the reserved continuous A flag is in the ON state (YES in step S121), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is a big hit ending effect (step S122). When it is determined that it is a big hit ending effect during the reserved reaming A effect (YES in step S122), the effect control CPU 101 executes a darkening effect (step S123).

  FIG. 8 is a screen transition diagram of the effect display device 9 for the reserved continuous A effect in the modified example. FIG. 8A shows a state in which a big hit ending effect is executed on the effect display device 9. At this time, the darkening effect is executed in step S123 of FIG. 7, so that the darkening effect is displayed from the state in which the image is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 9 as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C. To do.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not during the big hit ending production (NO in step S122), the production control CPU 101 displays the variable display corresponding to the reserved memory immediately before the reserved memory of the target that becomes the big hit A. It is determined whether or not it is a start time (step S124).

  When it is determined that it is the time of starting the variable display before the target during the reserved reaming A effect (YES in step S124), the effect control CPU 101 continues the darkening effect (step S125).

  Proceeding to FIG. 8, the darkening effect is continued as shown in FIG. In the lower right part of the screen, the variable display is executed with small symbols, and the hold display is displayed only with numbers. In the configuration in which the holding display light emitting means for displaying the holding number outside the screen is provided, the holding display may be omitted from the screen.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not the time of starting the variable display before the target (NO in step S124), the effect control CPU 101 starts the variable display corresponding to the storage of the target that will be the big hit of the holding ream A It is determined whether or not (step S126).

  When it is determined that it is the start of the target variable display during the reserved continuous A effect (YES in step S126), the effect control CPU 101 executes an effect based on the variable pattern of “held continuous A big hit” (step S127). ). After that, the effect control CPU 101 turns off the hold continuous A flag (step S128).

  Proceeding to FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 8E, in the variation display based on the variation pattern of the reserved reaming A big hit, a darkening effect is executed at the start. In the case of FIG. 8E as well, the variable display and the hold display are displayed in the lower right part of the screen, as in FIG. 8D. Then, as shown in FIG. 8F, an explosion effect is executed. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8G, a display to the effect that the big hit is confirmed is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 8 (H), the effect during the big hit similar to the normal big hit is executed.

  In this embodiment, in the first to fourth fluctuation display after the end of the big hit, the fluctuation pattern of “holding consecutive A big hit” is determined even if there is no holding memory in the previous big hit state. If this happens, the rendition of the reserved consecutive A hit is executed.

  FIG. 9 is a screen transition diagram of an effect similar to the reserved reaming A effect when there is no reserved memory in the previous jackpot state in the modified example. The screen in FIG. 9A is similar to the screen in FIG. If there is no pending storage until the end of the big hit ending effect, and if it is decided to be out of play every time there is a start winning prize, as shown in FIG. The fluctuation display is executed based on the pattern, or the fluctuation display is executed based on the fluctuation pattern of the reach deviation.

  And when there is a start prize and it is determined that “holding consecutive A big hit”, it is in the state where the dark turn effect as shown in FIG. 8 (B) to FIG. 8 (D) is not executed. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 9C to 9E, the same rendition of the reserved reaming A as in FIGS. 8E to 8G is executed. Thereafter, as in FIG. 8H, as shown in FIG. 9F, the effect during the big hit similar to the normal big hit is executed.

Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that the pending run A flag is not in the on state (NO in step S <b> 121), the effect control CPU 101 has the pending run B flag in the on state, that is, the pending run B production is being executed. Whether or not (step S131). When it is determined that the holding ream B flag is in the ON state (YES in step S131), the effect control CPU 101 determines whether or not it is a predetermined round of big hit (step S132). If it is determined that it is the time of a predetermined number of rounds of big hits during the reserved series B effect (YES in step S132), the effect control CPU 101 executes the battle execution notice effect (step S133).

  FIG. 10 is a screen transition diagram of the effect display device 9 for the reserved continuous B effect in the modified example. FIG. 10 (A) shows a round of the big hit in the effect display device 9 a predetermined number of times (here, the seventh round). At this time, when the battle execution advance notice effect is executed in step S133 of FIG. 7, the image is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 9 as shown in FIGS. 10 (B) and 10 (C). After dark, the fact that the execution of the battle effect has been confirmed is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10D, a big hit ending effect is executed.

  Returning to FIG. 7, if it is determined that it is not the time of the big hit of the predetermined number of rounds (NO in step S132), the effect control CPU 101 changes corresponding to the hold storage before the hold storage of the target that becomes the hold continuous B big hit. It is determined whether or not it is a display start time (step S134).

  If it is determined that it is the start time of the fluctuation display before the target in the reserved series B production (YES in step S134), the production control CPU 101 changes to the fluctuation pattern indicated by the fluctuation pattern command according to the lottery result. The effect based on the variation pattern for displaying the character of the battle effect is executed (step S135).

  Proceeding to FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 10E, when a variation pattern for displaying a battle effect character is not set according to the lottery result, a variation pattern command is used in the variation display before the target. Variation display based on the variation pattern shown is executed.

  Returning to FIG. 7, when it is determined that it is not at the time of starting the variable display before the target (NO in step S134), the effect control CPU 101 starts the variable display corresponding to the storage of the target that will be the big hit of the reservation continuous B. It is determined whether or not (step S136).

  When it is determined that it is the start time of the target fluctuation display during the reserved continuous B effect (YES in step S136), the effect control CPU 101 executes an effect based on the fluctuation pattern of “hold consecutive B big hit” (step S137). ). After that, the effect control CPU 101 turns off the reserved continuous B flag (step S138).

  Proceeding to FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 10F, based on the fluctuation pattern of the reserved consecutive B big hit, the battle effect for the reserved consecutive B big hit is executed after reaching reach. Finally, as shown in FIG. 10 (G), a display to the effect that the big hit is confirmed by the victory of the ally character in the battle effect is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10H, an effect during the big hit similar to the normal big hit is executed.

  In addition, it is notified by the battle result in the battle effect shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (G), when winning with a punch, it is a normal big hit, and when winning with a kick, it indicates a promising big hit. The battle defeat effect may be a normal big hit.

[Summary]
Next, effects of the embodiment described above will be described.

(1-1) With the game control microcomputer 560, 16
It is possible to control the round jackpot and the 7 round jackpot which is more disadvantageous to the player than the 16 round jackpot. Information relating to variable display is stored in the RAM 55 of the game control microcomputer 560 as reserved storage. As shown in step S161 in FIG. 3, when the presentation control microcomputer 100 is controlled to the big hit state, the RAM 55 stores a target storage that is specified to be controlled to the big hit state. In this case, it is possible to execute the hold continuous effect shown in FIG. 5 (A) informing that the hold storage of the target is stored.

  As shown in step S167 of FIG. 3, from the end of the big hit state where the hold continuous effect is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 to the start of the variable display corresponding to the target hold memory, The chance eye continuous notice effect shown in FIGS. 5 (C1) and (D1) or the background effect continuous notice effect shown in FIGS. 5 (C2) and (D2) can be executed. As shown in FIG. 4, the ratio of executing the predetermined effect differs depending on whether it is controlled for 16 rounds or big hit.

  As a result, since the degree of expectation controlled for the 16 round big hit and the 7 round big hit differs depending on whether or not the predetermined production is executed after the holding continuous production is executed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the predetermined production. . As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (1-2) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (C1), (D1), (C2), and (D2), there are a plurality of types of predetermined effects. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the ratio of executing each of the plurality of types of predetermined effects differs depending on whether the control is performed for 16 rounds of big hit or the control of 7 rounds of big win.

  Thereby, since the degree of expectation controlled for 16 round big hit and 7 round big hit differs depending on the type of the predetermined effect, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the type of the predetermined effect. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (1-3) The effect display microcomputer 100 can display the hold display shown in FIG. 5A corresponding to the hold storage stored in the RAM 55 on the effect display device 9. As shown in step S162 of FIG. 3, when the hold continuous effect is executed by the effect control microcomputer 100, the hold display corresponding to the target hold storage is displayed as the hold display shown in FIG. Of these, the display can be changed to the reserved display of the character design.

  As a result, when the hold continuous effect is executed, the character symbol hold display may be performed, so that the player can be focused on whether or not the character symbol hold display is performed. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (1-4) As shown in step S166 and step S167 in FIG. 3, the production control microcomputer 100 executes a predetermined production from the first variable display after the big hit state in which the hold continuous production is executed is completed. Is possible.

  Thus, the predetermined effect is executed from the beginning of the period from the end of the big hit state where the hold continuous effect is executed until the start of variable display corresponding to the target hold memory. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (1-5) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, there are a plurality of types of predetermined effects, and FIGS. 5C1 and 5D as dedicated predetermined effects that can be executed only when the reserved continuous effects are executed. ) And the background effect continuous notice effect shown in FIGS. 5 (C2) and 5 (D2) as a predetermined effect that can be executed even when the reserved continuous effect is not executed.

  In addition to being executed as a reserved continuous effect, for example, a pre-reading effect at the normal time (in the non-probable change state, in the low probability low base) or in the probability change state (in the high accuracy high base), for example. Run as.

  Thereby, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the dedicated predetermined effect and the combined predetermined effect is executed. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the amount of data for presentation can be reduced by using a dual-purpose one. It is possible to reduce the data capacity of the ROM 102 that stores the data for presentation, or to use the reduced data capacity to store data for other presentations to enhance the presentation.

  Furthermore, when a predetermined effect for combined use as a reserved continuous effect is executed, the player is given a high expectation of being a big hit. Expectation can be given to the player and a predetermined performance can be seen.

  (1-6) As shown in step S156 and step S169 in FIG. 3, by the production control microcomputer 100, the hold continuous flag corresponding to the jackpot type corresponding to the hold storage of the target stored in the RAM 55 is Stored in the RAM 103. As shown in steps S164 and S167 of FIG. 3, the execution control mode of the predetermined effect is determined by the effect control microcomputer 100 based on the hold continuous flag stored in the RAM 103, and the determined predetermined effect is determined. Executed.

  As a result, the execution mode of the predetermined effect is determined later based on the pending continuous flag, so that the predetermined effect can be determined and executed according to the state of the gaming machine at the time of determination. As a result, a predetermined effect according to the state of the gaming machine can be executed.

  In addition, the same appearance of the hold rendition effect is executed regardless of whether it is a big hit of 16 rounds or a big hit of 7 rounds, but the hold continuous flags are set differently and before the start of the first variable display after the end of the big hit. In addition, a predetermined effect is determined based on the pending run flag. The variable display before the variable display of the target is a variable display that does not reach the reach state, and when the chance continuous announcement effect is determined as the predetermined effect, the display result of the variable display is displayed at the chance on the effect control board 80 side. Make changes. Thus, since the predetermined effect is determined on the side of the effect control board 80, the process is completed on the side of the effect control board 80 with respect to the predetermined effect, so that the predetermined effect can be executed stably.

  (2-1) In the big hit fluctuation display that triggers the control of the big hit state among the fluctuation displays within the upper limit range of the number of reserved storage after the big hit state ends, FIG. 8 (E) to FIG. 8 (G), FIG. In step S127 of FIG. 7 as shown in FIGS. 9 (C) to 9 (E), it is possible to execute a reserved run A big hit effect (a big hit finalizing effect from a dark turn effect) based on the fluctuation pattern of the reserved run A big hit. If the condition that there is a hold memory in the previously controlled jackpot state is satisfied, the hold is performed from the control of the previously controlled jackpot state until the controlled big hit fluctuation display is executed. It is possible to execute the darkening effect that is continued in step S125 of FIG. 7 as shown in FIG. Regardless of whether or not the darkening effect is executed before the big hit fluctuation display is executed, in the big hit fluctuation display for the subsequent big hit state, FIG. 8 (E) to FIG. 8 (G), FIG. 9 (C) to FIG. As shown in FIG. 9 (E), it is possible to execute the reserved consecutive A big hit effect in step S127 of FIG.

As a result, in the big hit fluctuation display that triggers the control of the big hit state within the range of the upper limit of the number of reserved storage from the end of the previous big hit state, the big hit fluctuation display that is controlled later during the control of the previous big hit state Regardless of whether or not the darkening effect has been executed before is executed, it is possible to execute the reserved consecutive A big hit effect. As a result, it is possible to reduce the processing burden because it is not necessary to replace the production while giving a special feeling that the big hit state is within the upper limit of the number of reserved storage after the end of the previous big hit state.

  (2-2) The game control microcomputer 560 transmits a variation pattern command for controlling the progress of the game and controlling the performance. The effect of the fluctuation pattern for the reserved consecutive A jackpot change pattern executed in step S127 of FIG. 7 by the effect control microcomputer 100 is one-to-one with the command specifying the reserved consecutive A jackpot fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. Correspond.

  Thereby, the processing burden on the side of the effect control microcomputer 100 can be reduced.

  (2-3) As shown in FIG. 8D, the darkness effect effect mode continued in step S125 of FIG. 7 is the effect at the start of the reserved reaming A jackpot effect as shown in FIG. 8E. This is common with the darkening effect which is an aspect.

  As a result, even if the reserved consecutive A big hit effect is executed without executing the darkening effect before the target as shown in FIG. 8D, the reserved continuous A big hit effect can be executed without a sense of incongruity. it can.

  (2-4) As shown in FIG. 8D and FIG. 8E, the common effect mode is a mode of displaying a dark image.

  As a result, even if the reserved reaming A jackpot effect is executed without executing the darkening effect in front of the target as shown in FIG. Can do.

  (2-5) In the big hit fluctuation display performed within the upper limit range of the number of reserved memories, FIG. 10 (F) based on the fluctuation pattern of the reserved consecutive B big hit executed in step S137 of FIG. ), A reserved reaming B big hit effect (battle reach effect) as shown in FIG. 10 (G) can be executed. When the condition that there is a pending storage in the previously controlled jackpot state is satisfied, from the control of the previously controlled jackpot state until the jackpot fluctuation display controlled later is executed, It is possible to execute an effect based on a variation pattern that displays a character of a battle effect that is set according to the lottery result in step S135 of FIG.

  As a result, a plurality of types of effects are performed within the range of the upper limit of the number of reserved memories from the end of the previous jackpot state, and the entertainment of the game can be improved. In addition, when the reserved consecutive B big hit effect is executed within the range of the upper limit of the number of reserved memories from the end of the previous big hit state, the effect of necessarily displaying the battle effect character in the variable display before the target is executed. Since it is not always true, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the contents of the rendition of the reserved consecutive B big hit effect.

  (2-6) The big hit state is a state that is different from the big hit state after the big hit state and is a probability variation state that is advantageous to the player, and a normal big hit that is a non-probable state after the big hit state. including. As the reserved consecutive B big hit effect, it is possible to execute an effect of notifying whether the probability variation big hit or the normal big hit is made based on the battle result.

Thereby, a player can be made to pay more attention to the production content of the reservation consecutive B big hit production.
[Variations of holding continuous production]
Next, a modified example of the reserved continuous effect will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an aspect of the reserved continuous effect in the modified example. 11 (a) and 11 (b) are displayed on the effect display device 9 during the jackpot ending period during normal times (when there is no specific hold memory that is determined to be a later jackpot state in the hold memory). An example of a screen to be displayed is shown. On the other hand, FIGS. 11C and 11D show the effect display device 9 in the jackpot ending period when there is a specific hold memory (holding run) that is determined to be a big hit state later in the hold memory. An example of a displayed screen is shown.

  First, referring to FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), during the jackpot ending period during normal times (when there is no specific pending memory that is determined to be in the later jackpot state in the pending memory), The screen displayed on the effect display device 9 will be described. FIG. 11A shows an example in the case where a display indicating the manufacturer of the gaming machine is made on the effect display device 9 during the big hit ending period. Here, a corporate logo mark is displayed together with a corporate slogan “Good look. Good life. Pachinko, good smile.” Moreover, FIG.11 (b) has shown an example when the display for alerting is made in the production | presentation display apparatus 9 in the jackpot ending period. Here, an image prompting the user to remove the card is displayed together with the character information “Please be careful about forgetting to remove the prepaid card or theft.”, And a display for calling attention to forgetting to remove the card or theft. In addition, during the jackpot ending period, either the manufacturer display or the alert display may be executed, or after either one is displayed, the other is displayed and both screens are displayed. You may do it.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 11C and 11D, in the ending period of jackpot when there is a specific pending memory (holding ream) that is determined to be in the jackpot state later in the pending memory, The screen displayed on the effect display device 9 will be described. FIG. 11 (c) shows a case where there is a specific holding memory (holding run) that is determined to be a jackpot state later in the holding memory, and in the effect display device 9 during the jackpot ending period An example is shown in which a display indicating the manufacturer of the machine is made. Here, as in FIG. 11 (a), the company logo is displayed along with the corporate slogan “Good look. Good life. Pachinko and a good smile.” Unlike FIG. 11 (a), The background of the fruit is displayed. FIG. 11 (d) shows a case in which there is a specific holding memory (holding run) that is determined to be a jackpot state later in the holding memory. This shows an example in the case where a display for alerting is made. Here, as in FIG. 11B, an image prompting the user to remove the card is displayed together with the text information “Please be careful about forgetting to remove the prepaid card.” However, unlike FIG. 11B, the card pattern is displayed as a fruit pattern.

  In FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), the background of the manufacturer's display is used as a mode for notifying that there is a specific reserved memory (holding ream) that has been determined to be a later jackpot state in the reserved memory. The display is changed to a pattern, or the card pattern, which is a component of the alert display, is changed to a fruit pattern. However, the display is not limited to this, and any other display may be used as long as it indicates that there is a specific reserved storage (holding continuous) determined to be in the subsequent jackpot state in the stored storage. For example, the pattern to be displayed may be a display mode other than fruit. Further, the characters themselves may be displayed in a fruit pattern. In addition, in the case where a plurality of types of jackpot rounds are provided, the display mode of the reserved continuous effect may be different depending on the number of rounds determined by the reserved continuous.

  In the above description, the timing at which the manufacturer display and the alert display are displayed is the jackpot ending period. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the period related to the control of the big hit state, which is an advantageous state, may be displayed in response to the change display after the big hit.

  Further, the manufacturer display shown in FIGS. 11A and 11C is a display not related to the progress of the game and may be another display as long as it is a display indicating the manufacturer of the gaming machine. Further, the alert display shown in FIGS. 11B and 11D is a display that is not related to the progress of the game, and may be another display as long as it is an alert display for the player. For example, a goto action prohibition display or a warning display for malicious information may be used.

  In addition, as a hold continuous effect, a first pattern that can execute an effect such as an effect during a round or an ending effect as a big end screen, and a second pattern that can execute an effect as a manufacturer display or an alert display as shown in FIG. A plurality of types of patterns called patterns may be provided. And you may make it a reservation continuous production | presentation be performed by the pattern drawn at a predetermined timing. In addition, you may be made to perform a reservation continuous effect not only once but 2 times or more. Further, the degree of advantage may be different depending on the execution timing and the number of executions of the hold continuous effect (normal hit or probable big hit).

  The above description may be applied to a slot machine as a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to a player.

  For example, the present invention may be applied to a slot machine that displays a manufacturer display or a warning display at the timing of the bonus end. In such a slot machine, an effect of informing the internal lottery result is executed after the bonus is over. When the vehicle does not enter the AT, the manufacturer display or the alert display may be performed in a normal manner as shown in FIGS. On the other hand, when entering the AT after the bonus ends, the background of the manufacturer display as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d) is made fruity in order to suggest that it is controlled in an advantageous state. You may change and display, or you may change and display the pattern of the card | curd which is one component of an alert display as a fruit pattern. Moreover, the timing at which the manufacturer display or the alert display is displayed is not limited to when the bonus ends. For example, it may be displayed on a screen displayed when a start lever as an operation means is operated or a demonstration screen.

  Moreover, since what the fruit pattern suggests is controlled in an advantageous state, it is not limited to entering the AT after the bonus ends. For example, a fruit pattern may be displayed when conditions for shifting to a high probability state such as bonus, ART, rare combination, etc. are established in addition to AT. In addition, when the AT is further won during the AT, the fruit pattern at the end of the AT may indicate that the AT re-enters after the end of the AT. In addition, the display of the fruit pattern may be another display as long as the display suggests that the fruit pattern is controlled in an advantageous state. In addition, as described above, the manufacturer display and the alert display are not related to the progress of the game, and if the display indicates the manufacturer of the gaming machine and the alert display for the player, for example, an alert regarding prevention of dent Other displays such as a display and a display related to fraud prevention may be used. Further, the manufacturer display and the alert display may be displayed after the manufacturer display is displayed, or only one of them may be displayed.

  As for the slot machine, similar to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the first pattern and the second pattern are provided as an effect in which the advantageous state continues, and the advantageous state continues in the lottery pattern at a predetermined timing. May be executed.

Next, effects of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 11 will be described.
(1) As shown in FIG. 11 (c), when there is a specific reserved memory (holding ream) that is determined to be a jackpot state later in the reserved memory, the background of the manufacturer display is the fruit pattern. Change to display. Further, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), when there is a specific pending storage (holding sequence) that has been determined to be a subsequent big hit state in the pending storage, one component of the alert display The card pattern is changed to a fruit pattern and displayed. Thereby, it can be notified by changing the display mode not related to the progress of the game that the player is controlled in an advantageous state advantageous to the player. As a result, it is possible to diversify the production pattern and improve the interest of the game.

  (2) When the transition condition to bonus, AT, ART, or high probability state is satisfied, the background of the manufacturer display is changed to a fruit pattern, and the pattern of the card that is one component of the alert display is displayed. Change to a fruit pattern and display. Thereby, it can be notified by changing the display mode not related to the progress of the game that the player is controlled in an advantageous state advantageous to the player. As a result, it is possible to diversify the production pattern and improve the interest of the game.

  (3) As shown in FIG. 11, the effect display device can display a display that is not related to the progress of the game, for example, a warning display, and the subsequent jackpot state can be set in the hold memory. If there is a specific reserved memory (holding sequence) that has been determined, the display mode is changed to a fruit pattern and displayed. Thereby, it is possible to make a notice advantageous to the player while alerting the player. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game while showing the player an action to be noted.

  (4) As shown in FIG. 11, the effect display device can display a display that is not related to the progress of the game, for example, the manufacturer display, and decides that the subsequent big hit state is in the reserved storage. If there is a specific reserved memory (held ream), the display mode is changed to a fruit pattern and displayed. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the player of an advantageous information for the player while indicating the manufacturer of the gaming machine. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved while improving the player's awareness of the manufacturer of the gaming machine.

[Other variations]
Next, another modification of the embodiment described above will be described.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined effect is performed every time a variable display is performed a plurality of times from the end of the big hit state where the hold continuous effect is executed until the variable display corresponding to the target hold memory is executed. A predetermined performance was executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. According to the number of executions of the predetermined effect among a plurality of times from the end of the big hit state where the hold continuous effect is executed until the variable display corresponding to the target hold memory is executed, 7 The ratio controlled to 16 round jackpot which is more advantageous than round jackpot may be different. For example, the predetermined effect may be executed so that the number of executions of the predetermined effect is increased when the control is performed for 16 rounds of big hit.

  Thereby, since the expectation level controlled for 16 rounds of big hit is different depending on the number of times the predetermined effect is executed, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of times the predetermined effect is executed. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (2) Unlike the above (1), the predetermined effect may be executed so that the number of executions of the predetermined effect is reduced when the 16 round round big hit is controlled. Thereby, a player can be made to pay attention to which timing a predetermined effect is executed.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of predetermined effects are repeatedly executed in a plurality of variable displays. However, the predetermined effect is not limited to this, and may be an effect that is not repeatedly executed, such as a series of movies from the reserved continuous effect. Even in this case, the ratio of executing effects such as a movie may be different depending on whether it is controlled for 16 rounds or big hits. Moreover, you may make it vary the ratio which performs each production of multiple types of movies etc., when it is controlled by 16 round big hits and when it is controlled by 7 round big hits. In addition, a common movie may be used during the big hit, and only a movie in a period from the end of the big hit to the target change display may be selected from a plurality of types of movies.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the predetermined effect is a chance eye continuous notice effect or a background effect continuous notice effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the predetermined effect may be another effect. For example, in addition to the effect performed by the display means, the accessory continuous notice effect in which the movable accessory is operated continuously by a plurality of variable displays. It may be. The predetermined effect may be an effect using only sound and a lamp.

  There are a plurality of types of effects that can be executed as the predetermined effects, and some of these effects may be combined to execute the predetermined effects. In this case, the combined execution may have a higher expectation that will be a big hit that has a higher advantage for the player than the case where it is executed alone, or vice versa. May be. In addition, when the number of effects to be combined is large, the degree of expectation that is a big hit with a high degree of advantage may be higher than when the number is small, or vice versa.

  (5) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 5A and the like, the target hold display is displayed when the hold continuous effect is executed, and the dedicated character design when the hold continuous effect is executed. Changed to. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the design may be changed to a dual-purpose symbol that is displayed even when the reserved continuous performance is not executed. Depending on the jackpot type corresponding to the target hold display, the design of the hold display to be changed may be varied. In addition, the ratio of changing to each of a plurality of types of symbols may be varied according to the jackpot type corresponding to the target hold display.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the chance eye continuous notice effect, which is a dedicated predetermined effect, is selected only when the 16th round big hit is the first advantageous state, It is not selected in the case of 7 round jackpot, which is the second advantageous state which is more disadvantageous for the player than the first advantageous state. That is, it is determined that the first advantageous state is established when a dedicated predetermined effect is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be selected also when the reserved memory specifies that the dedicated predetermined effect is in the second advantageous state.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in step S161 and step S162 in FIG. 3, when the pending continuous flag is turned on (with a probability of 100%), FIG. The hold continuous effect as shown in is executed, and the hold display of the target is changed to the character design. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the hold continuous flag is turned on, the hold continuous effect is executed at a predetermined ratio (less than 100%), or the hold display is changed to a specific mode. You may make it do.

Further, when the on-hold continuous flag is turned on but the on-hold continuous effect is not executed during the big hit state, the on-hold display may be changed to a specific mode at a predetermined rate (less than 100%). . Furthermore, when doing in this way, you may make it select the timing changed to a specific aspect from several timings. Moreover, you may make it change the timing changed to a specific aspect according to the jackpot classification of a target. For example, when the first advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the second advantageous state is set, the mode may be changed to a specific mode at a later timing at a higher rate than when the second advantageous state is set. It may be changed to a specific mode at an early timing.

  (8) In the above-described embodiment, the reserved continuous effect and the predetermined effect are executed when the big hit state is specified by the reserved memory. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hold continuous effect and the predetermined effect may be executed even when the big hit state is not specified by the hold memory.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, the reserved run A jackpot effect and the reserved run B jackpot effect are executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when there is an on-hold storage that is determined to be a big hit when the big hit state ends, another on-hold continuous effect may be executed.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, when it is determined to be the reserved consecutive B big hit, as shown in FIG. 10C, in the predetermined round of the previous big hit state, the reserved consecutive B big hit Announcing that the execution of the production has been confirmed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be notified at another timing that execution of the reserved consecutive B big hit effect is confirmed, for example, during the execution of the ending effect in the previous big hit state. May be.

  (11) In the case where it is determined to be a reserved consecutive A big hit or a reserved consecutive B big hit, various reserved big hit effects are executed during the previous big hit only when the target big hit is a probable big hit. You may do it.

  Furthermore, when it is determined to be a holding big hit B, if the target big hit is a probable big hit, whether or not various holding big hit effects are executed during the previous big hit is determined by lottery. You may make it do.

  Here, only in the case where the subsequent big hit is a probable big hit, in the configuration in which the holding consecutive big hit effect is executed during the previous big hit and the battle defeat corresponds to the normal big hit (end of the probable change), If the reservation consecutive big hit production is not executed, it is substantially notified that the ally character is defeated in the four-variation battle production after the big hit ends, and the interest is lowered.

  Therefore, by determining by lottery whether or not to execute various holding big hit effects during the previous big hit, only when the subsequent big hit is a probable big hit, the reserved big big hit effect is executed during the previous big hit, and In a configuration in which a battle defeat usually corresponds to a big hit, when a battle effect is executed by 4 fluctuations after the big hit, even if the reserved big hit effect is not executed during the previous big hit, There will be a pattern in which the ally character wins, and a decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
