Which gaming state is set is displayed by a combination of lighting, extinguishing, or blinking of the six lamps.

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

  The main board 100 includes a pass gate sensor 104, a first start prize port sensor 106 (first detection means), a second start prize port sensor 108 (first detection means), a big prize port sensor 110 (second detection means), In response to an input signal from the input means such as the payout sensor 116, various calculations for executing the game are performed, and based on the calculation results, the state display driving device 120, the ordinary accessory driving device 122, the special accessory driving Operation control of output means such as the device 124 and the payout device 130 is performed.

  In addition, the sub-board 102 receives the signal sent from the main board 100 and the input signal from the effect button switch 150, and performs various calculations for executing the effects in accordance with the progress of the game. Based on the above, operation control of the effect devices 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, and the effect product driving device 174 is performed.

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

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

  The normal lottery means 220 acquires a random number for normal lottery from the random number generator 210 based on the detection signal input from the pass gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the pass gate 48 one by one. A normal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal random number storage unit 2912 of the main memory 290 and read from the normal random number storage unit 2912.

  Specifically, the normal random number storage means 2912 is provided with four normal reserved storage areas, a normal reserved storage area 1 to a normal reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the acquired random numbers for normal lottery. One normal reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the normal lottery random value read from the area 1 and performing the normal lottery until the normal symbol variation display and stop display are completed. When the normal lottery means 220 acquires the normal lottery random value from the random number generator 210, the normal lottery means 220 acquires the normal lottery random number value in any of the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4. The random number for ordinary lottery is first stored in the ordinary reserved storage area 1. When the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal reserved storage area 1, when the normal symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal reserved storage area. If not, the normal lottery random value is immediately read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed is stored in the normal hold storage area. On the other hand, when the normal symbol is being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, when the random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area, the random number for normal lottery in the normal hold storage area 1 Hold on.

  When the normal lottery random value is held in the normal holding storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random value is acquired, the normal lottery means 220 On the condition that the number of random numbers for normal lottery held in the normal holding storage area 1 to the normal holding storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of normal holding is less than 4. The random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area in which the random number for normal lottery is not held among the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4 and the ordinal number is the smallest.

  The normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random value stored in the normal reserved storage area when the normal symbol variation display and stop display are finished, and the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1. If the lottery is on hold, the normal lottery random value is read from the normal hold storage area 1 to perform the normal lottery, and the normal lottery random value on which the normal lottery has been performed is stored in the normal hold storage area. If the normal lottery random value remains after the normal hold storage area 2, the normal lottery random number remaining in the normal hold storage area has an ordinal number one less than the original normal hold storage area. Move to. For example, when the random number for normal lottery remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, it is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

  In this way, in the normal random number storage means 2912, the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed is held up to one in the normal hold storage area, and the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has not been performed is normally stored. In the area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4, the upper limit is reserved up to four.

  Hereinafter, details of the normal lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs a normal winning determination process, a normal variation pattern determination process, and the like as the normal lottery.

  The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not the normal hit is true. In the normal winning determination process, the normal lottery means 220 refers to which normal lottery table among the plurality of types of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the gaming state.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal lottery table A and the normal lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each normal lottery table, each of 100 random numbers for normal lottery from 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hit or loss is associated. Specifically, in the normal lottery table A, the correspondence between the normal win or the loss and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the normal win is won with a probability of about 1/20. In the normal lottery table B, about 19 / Correspondence between the normal winning or losing and the random numbers for normal lottery of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal winning is won with a probability of 20. The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the gaming state is neither the probability change state nor the short time state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the game state is the probability change state or the short time state. .

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

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

  The normal variation pattern determination process is a process for determining which of the plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the normal symbol is made according to the gaming state. In the normal variation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines that the variation pattern of the normal symbol is the normal variation pattern 1 when the gaming state is neither the probability variation state nor the time reduction state, and the game state is the probability variation state or the time reduction state. In some cases, the normal pattern variation pattern is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2.

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

  In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 until the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol determined in the normal variation pattern determination process elapses. The normal symbol is variably displayed, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 according to whether or not the normal winning is won in the normal hit determining process. The normal lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 72.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 1, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 20 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 2. Normal symbol variation time is set to 1 second. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is neither the probability change state nor the short-time state, the normal symbol change pattern is determined as the normal change pattern 1, thereby changing the normal symbol change time. If the game state at the time when the normal lottery is set is 20 seconds and the game state is in the probabilistic state or the short-time state, the normal symbol variation pattern is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2, thereby changing the normal symbol variation time. Since it is set to 1 second, the normal lottery execution trigger comes more frequently when the gaming state is the probability change state or the short time state.

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

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

  In the normal accessory control process 1, when the gaming state is neither the probability change state nor the short-time state, the normal symbol is stopped until 0.1 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating a normal winning. The driving control of the normal accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the accessory 52 returns to the contracted state after the enlarged state.

  In the normal accessory control process 2, when the game state is a certain change state or a short time state, the normal accessory is displayed until 20 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating winning in the normal win. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the state returns to the contracted state after 52 is in the expanded state.

  Accordingly, in the normal accessory control process 1, the normal accessory 52 operates so that the ease of entering the game ball into the second start winning opening 50 is hardly increased, but in the normal accessory control process 2, the second start The normal accessory 52 operates so that the ease of entering the game ball into the winning opening 50 increases.

  The special lottery means 230 is for special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first start prize port 46 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 as the first special random number value. The special lottery means 230 also receives a special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the second start prize port sensor 108 that detects the game balls entering the second start prize slot 50 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as the second special random number value. Then, the special lottery means 230 performs a special lottery that determines whether or not the jackpot is won using the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914.

  Specifically, the special random number storage unit 2914 is provided with four first special reserved storage areas, a first special reserved storage area 1 to a first special reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the acquired first special random number value. As the storage area for storing the acquired second special random number value, four second special reservation storage areas 1 to 2 are provided, the first special reservation storage area 1 Alternatively, the first special random number value or the second special random number value read out from the second special reserved storage area 1 and subjected to the special lottery is stored until the change display and stop display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol are completed. One special reserved storage area is provided as an area.

  When the special lottery means 230 obtains the random number for special lottery based on the detection signal input from the first start winning opening sensor 106, the special lottery unit 230 stores the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4. When none of the first special random number values is stored, the acquired special lottery random value is first stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 as the first special random number value. At the time when the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not in the variable display or the stop display, that is, the first special reserved storage area 1 No special random number value or second special random number value is stored, no second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the gaming state If the game is not in the special gaming state, the first special random number value is immediately read from the first special reserved storage area 1 to perform a special lottery, and the first special random number value subjected to the special lottery is stored in the special reserved storage area. . On the other hand, whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed or stopped, that is, whether the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, or the second special symbol If the second special random number value is stored in any one of the reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 or the gaming state is the special gaming state, the first special holding storage area 1 Hold special random values.

  When the first special random number value is held in the first special hold storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the first start winning port sensor 106 and the random number for special lottery is acquired, The special lottery means 230 is based on the condition that the number of the first special random number values reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, the first special reserved number. Is a reserved storage area in which the first special random number value is not reserved among the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, and the ordinal number is the smallest. Stored in one special reserved storage area as a first special random number value.

  Further, when the special lottery means 230 obtains the random number for special lottery based on the detection signal input from the second start winning opening sensor 108, the special lottery means 230 stores the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. In a state where the second special random number value is not stored in any of them, the acquired special lottery random number value is first stored in the second special reserved storage area 1 as the second special random number value. At the time when the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area 1, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the first special reserved memory area has a first If the special random number value or the second special random number value is not stored and the gaming state is not the special gaming state, the second special random number value is immediately read from the second special holding storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is stored in the special reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed or stopped, that is, the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, or the gaming state Is in the special game state, the second special random number value is reserved in the second special reservation storage area 1.

  When the second special random number value is held in the second special hold storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the second start winning port sensor 108 and the special lottery random number value is acquired, The special lottery means 230 is based on the condition that the number of second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 is less than four, that is, the second special reserved number. Is the second special reserved storage area in which the second special random number value is not reserved among the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the ordinal number is minimum. Is stored as a second special random value in the second special reserved storage area.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 erases the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the special reserved storage area when the change display and stop display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol are completed. . When the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved memory area 1, the second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved memory area 1 to the second special reserved memory area 4. The first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed on the condition that the gaming state is not the special gaming state, and the first special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is Store in the special reserved storage area. On the other hand, when the second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 Even if the first special random number value is stored in any of the above, on the condition that the gaming state is not the special gaming state, the second special random number value is read from the second special holding storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, The second special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is stored in the special reserved storage area. That is, in the present embodiment, the second special random number value is given priority over the first special random number value. Regardless of whether the value is the first special random value or the second special random value, the first special random value or the second special random value is read out in the order stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 and a special lottery is performed. You may make it perform. That is, the special lottery may be performed by reading the first special random number value or the second special random number value in the order in which the game balls enter the first start winning opening 46 or the second starting winning opening 50.

  Then, when the first special random number value remains after the first special reserved storage area 2 when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1, or the second special reserved memory is stored. If the second special random number value remains after the second special reserved storage area 2 when the second special random number value is read from the area 1, the remaining first special random value or second special random value The random number value is moved from the original special reserved storage area to the special reserved storage area whose ordinal number is smaller by one. For example, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special random number value remains in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 The first special random number stored in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is assigned to each of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 3. When the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1, the second special random number value remains in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3. In this case, the second special random number stored in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3 is changed to the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 2, respectively. Move to.

  In this way, in the special random number storage unit 2914, the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is reserved up to one in the special reserved storage area, and the first special random number for which the special lottery has not been performed. Random number values are reserved up to four in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, and the second special random number value for which no special lottery has been performed is the second special reserved storage area 1 to 2. In the special reserved storage area 4, four are reserved as the upper limit.

  The details of the special lottery will be described below. The special lottery means 230 receives a jackpot determination random number value, a symbol determination random number value as a special lottery random value based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port sensor 108. A plurality of types of random values such as a variation group determination random value, a first variation pattern determination random value, and a second variation pattern determination random value are acquired, and the plurality of types of random values are stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as a first special random number. Store as a numerical value or a second special random value. The special lottery means 230 performs jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first variation pattern determination processing, second variation pattern determination processing, and the like as special lottery.

  The jackpot determination process is a single jackpot determination random number included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. This is a process of reading a numerical value and determining whether or not the jackpot is true. Here, one jackpot determination random number value is acquired from 65536 jackpot determination random number values from 0 to 65535 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port 108. The special random number storage means 2914 stores the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

  In the jackpot determination process, the special lottery means 230 refers to which of the multiple types of jackpot lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 is referred to perform the random number determination process according to the gaming state. To select.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the big hit lottery table A and the big hit lottery table B as shown in FIG. In each jackpot lottery table, a jackpot or lose is associated with each of 65536 jackpot random numbers determined from 0 to 65535. Specifically, in the jackpot lottery table A, a correspondence relationship between the jackpot or loss and the jackpot determination random number value from 0 to 65535 is set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/319. Correspondence between jackpot or loss and a jackpot decision random number from 0 to 65535 is set so that the jackpot is won with a probability of 1/31. The special lottery means 230 selects the jackpot lottery table A when the gaming state is the normal state or the short-time state, and selects the jackpot lottery table B when the gaming state is the probability change state.

  The special lottery means 230 refers to the selected jackpot lottery table, and determines whether or not the jackpot is won by determining whether or not one read-out jackpot determination random number value is associated with the jackpot. To do.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the jackpot winning flag in the flag storage means 2916 to the ON state when the jackpot is won, and sets the jackpot winning flag to the OFF state when it is lost. .

  The symbol determination process is a process that is performed when a jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, and the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914 Read out one symbol determination random number value included in the random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) out of the 16 round probability variation symbol, 4 round probability variation symbol, 16 round normal symbol, 4 round normal symbol This is a process for determining which one to use. Here, one symbol determination random number value is acquired from 100 symbol determination random numbers from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port 108. The special random number storage means 2914 stores the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

  In the symbol determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which one of the plurality of types of symbol lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to perform the random number determination process. The selection is made according to whether the numerical value is stored as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the symbol lottery table A and the symbol lottery table B as shown in FIG. In each symbol lottery table, each of 100 symbol determination random numbers from 0 to 99 is associated with one of 16 round probability variation symbol, 4 round probability variation symbol, 16 round normal symbol, and 4 round normal symbol. ing. Specifically, in both the symbol lottery table A and the symbol lottery table B, a 16-round probability variable symbol is won with a probability of about 20/100, and a four-round probability variable symbol is winning with a probability of about 30/100. A 16-round normal symbol is elected with a probability of 100, and a 4-round normal symbol is elected with a probability of about 30/100. A 16-round probability variable symbol, a 4-round probability variable symbol, a 16-round normal symbol, a 4-round normal symbol and 0 Correspondence with random number values of ~ 99 is set.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 selects the symbol lottery table A when one read symbol determination random number value is stored as the first special random number value, and the one symbol determination random number value read out is the second special random number value. When stored as a random number value, the symbol lottery table B is selected.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected symbol lottery table and determines which one of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols is associated with the one symbol determination random number value that has been read out, so that a plurality of types of jackpot symbols Determine which of the winners.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 sets the winning flag corresponding to the winning jackpot symbol in the flag storage means 2916 to the ON state.

  The variable group determination process is a process that is performed when the jackpot is not won in the jackpot determination process, and is stored in the first special reservation storage area 1 or the second special reservation storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. One variation group determination random number value included in the first special random value or the second special random value is read, and the variation group to which the variation pattern of the first special symbol or the second special symbol belongs is set to any one of group 0 to group 5. This is a process for determining whether to do. Here, one variable group determined random value is obtained from 100 variable group determined random values from 0 to 99 based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port 108. It is acquired and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the variable group determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which of the plurality of types of variable group lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 to refer to perform the random number determination process. The selection is made according to the number of holdings and the gaming state, which is the sum of the number of first special holdings and the number of second special holdings at the time of execution.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the lottery table storage unit 2910 stores a variable group lottery table A to a variable group lottery table D as shown in FIG. In each variation group lottery table, one of group 0 to group 5 is associated with each of 100 variation group determination random numbers from 0 to 99. Then, the special lottery means 230 selects the variable group lottery table A when the gaming state at the time of performing the variable group determination process is the normal state and the holding number is 0 to 1, and the gaming state is the normal state. If the number of holds is 2 to 3, the variable group lottery table B is selected. If the game state is the normal state and the number of holds is 4 to 7, the variable group lottery table is selected. When C is selected and the game state is a certain change state or a short time state, the change group lottery table D is selected regardless of the number of holds.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected variation group lottery table and determines which of the plurality of types of variation groups is associated with the one variation group determination random number value thus read out. One variation group is determined from the variation group.

  Therefore, in the variable group determination process, when the game state is the normal state and the number of holds is 0 to 1, any one of the group 2, the group 3, the group 4, and the group 5 is determined, and the game If the state is the normal state and the number of holds is 2 to 3, any one of group 1, group 2, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and the game state is the normal state and held. When the number is 4 to 7, any one of group 1, group 4 and group 5 is determined, and when the gaming state is a probabilistic state or a short-time state, the group regardless of the number of pending Any one of 0, group 4 and group 5 is determined.

  The first variation pattern determination process is performed by using one of the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. The first variation pattern determination random number value is read, and the first half variation pattern corresponding to the first half portion (first portion) of the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed to any one of a plurality of types of first half variation patterns. This is a process for determining whether to do. Here, one first variation pattern determination random number value is obtained by inputting 100 detection signals from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second starting winning port 108, and 100 first variation patterns of 0 to 99. It is obtained from the determined random number value and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the first variation pattern determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which of the plurality of types of first fluctuation pattern lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to perform the random number determination process. If the jackpot is not won in the decision process, it is selected according to the variable group determined in the variable group decision process. If the jackpot is won in the jackpot decision process, the game state and symbol decision process at that time are decided. Select according to the jackpot symbol made.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first variation pattern lottery table A to the first variation pattern lottery table J as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are stored in the lottery table storage unit 2910. In each of the first variation pattern lottery tables, for each of 100 first variation pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 99, any one of the first variation pattern 7 to the first variation pattern 7 is selected as a plurality of types of first variation patterns. It is associated. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the special lottery means 230 selects the first variation pattern lottery table A when the group 1 is determined without winning the jackpot, and the group 2 does not win the jackpot. If it is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table B is selected. If the group 3 is determined without winning the jackpot, the first variation pattern lottery table C is selected and the jackpot is not won. When the group 4 is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table D is selected, and when the group 5 is determined without winning the jackpot, the first variation pattern lottery table E is selected and the jackpot When the group 0 is determined without winning, the first variation pattern lottery table F is selected, and as shown in FIG. Alternatively, when the 4-round probability variable symbol is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table G is selected, and when the big hit is won in the normal state and the 16-round normal symbol or the 4-round normal symbol is determined, the first variation pattern G is selected. When the variation pattern lottery table H is selected and the jackpot is won in the probability variation state or the short time state and the 16 round probability variation symbol or the four round probability variation symbol is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table I is selected and the probability variation state or When the jackpot is won in the short-time state and the 16-round normal symbol or the 4-round normal symbol is determined, the first variation pattern lottery table J is selected.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected first variation pattern lottery table and determines which one of the plurality of types of first-half variation patterns is associated with the read first variation pattern determination random value. Thus, one first half variation pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half variation patterns.

  Therefore, in the first variation pattern determination process, when the jackpot is not won, any one of the first half variation pattern to the first half variation pattern 7 shown in FIG. 7 is determined, and when the jackpot is won, Any one of the first half variation pattern 3 to the first half variation pattern 7 shown in FIG. 8 is determined.

  The second variation pattern determination process is performed by using one of the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. The second variation pattern determination random number value is read, and the latter half variation pattern corresponding to the latter half portion (second portion) of the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed to any of the plurality of types of latter half variation patterns. This is a process for determining whether to do. Here, one second variation pattern determining random number value is obtained by inputting 100 detection signals from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second starting winning port 108 and 100 second variation patterns of 0 to 99. It is obtained from the determined random number value and stored in the special random number storage means 2914 as the first special random value or the second special random value.

  In the second variation pattern determination process, the special lottery means 230 determines which one of the plurality of types of second variation pattern lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 is referred to perform the random number determination process. Selection is made according to the first half variation pattern determined in the one variation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery table storage unit 2910 stores second variation pattern lottery table A to second variation pattern lottery table K as shown in FIGS. In each of the second variation pattern lottery tables, for each of 100 variation group determination random numbers from 0 to 99, there are no reach variation pattern 1 through reach variation pattern 3 and reach variation patterns 1 through reach variation pattern 5. Either one is associated.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the special lottery means 230 selects the second fluctuation pattern lottery table A when the jackpot is not won and the first half fluctuation pattern is determined, and the jackpot is not won and the first half When the variation pattern 1 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table B is selected, and when the first variation pattern 2 is determined without winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern lottery table C is selected. When the first variation pattern 3 is determined without winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern lottery table D is selected, and the first variation pattern 4 or the first variation pattern 5 is determined without winning the jackpot. If the second variation pattern lottery table E is selected and the first variation pattern 6 or the first variation pattern 7 is determined without winning the jackpot, the second variation pattern is selected. To select the over emissions lottery table F.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, when the jackpot is won and the first half variation pattern 3 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table G is selected, and when the jackpot is won and the first half variation pattern 4 is determined. Selects the second variation pattern lottery table H, and when the jackpot is won and the first half variation pattern 5 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table I is selected, the jackpot is won and the first half variation pattern 6 is determined. If it is, the second variation pattern lottery table J is selected, and if the big hit is won and the first half variation pattern 7 is determined, the second variation pattern lottery table K is selected.

  Note that the correspondence relationship between the first variation pattern lottery table and the second variation pattern lottery table may not be a one-to-one relationship, and the first variation pattern lottery table and the second variation pattern lottery table may correspond to the determined variation group. The correspondence relationship with the variation pattern lottery table may be changed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected second variation pattern lottery table, and one read second variation pattern determination random number value corresponds to any of a plurality of types of reach variation patterns and a plurality of types of reach variation patterns. By determining whether they are attached, one second half variation pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reachless variation patterns and a plurality of types of reach variation patterns.

  Therefore, in the second variation pattern determination process, if the jackpot is not won, any one of the variation pattern 1 without reach 1 to 3 and the variation pattern 1 1 to reach variation 5 shown in FIG. When one is determined and the jackpot is won, one of the reach variation patterns 1 to 5 shown in FIG. 10 is determined.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, variation times are set for each of a plurality of types of first-half variation patterns and a plurality of types of latter-half variation patterns. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the first fluctuation pattern that can be determined in the first fluctuation pattern determination process in the case where the jackpot is not won-the first fluctuation pattern 2 includes 0 to 5 seconds. A relatively short variation time is set, and the first variation pattern 3 to the first variation pattern 7 that can be determined in the first variation pattern determination process both when the jackpot is not won and when the jackpot is won is from 10 seconds. A relatively long fluctuation time of 30 seconds is set.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the non-reach variation pattern 1 to the non-reach variation pattern 3 that can be determined by the second variation pattern determination process when the jackpot is not won is a relatively short variation of 1 to 5 seconds. The reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 that can be determined in the second variation pattern determination process for both the case where the jackpot is not won and the case where the jackpot is won are compared with 20 to 60 seconds. Long fluctuation time is set.

  Therefore, even if the jackpot is not won, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern 3 to the first variation pattern 7 for which a relatively long variation time is set are determined, and the second variation pattern determination is performed. In the process, when the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 in which a relatively long variation time is set is determined, it is possible to make the player have an expectation for winning the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is not won, the game state is the normal state, and the number of holds is 0 to 1, in the variable group determination process, the variable group lottery table A shown in FIG. 6 is referred to. Since the group 2 or the group 3 is easily determined, the first variation pattern determination process refers to the first variation pattern lottery table B or the first variation pattern lottery table C shown in FIG. The first variation pattern 1 set to 3 seconds and the first variation pattern 2 whose variation time is set to 5 seconds are easily determined. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery shown in FIG. With reference to Table B or the second variation pattern lottery table C, the variation time 2 with no reach and the variation time set to 2 seconds are set to 2 seconds. None Reach is set variation pattern 3 is easily determined.

  If the jackpot is not won, the game state is normal and the number of holds is 2 to 3, the variable group determination process refers to the variable group lottery table B shown in FIG. Alternatively, since the group 2 is easily determined, the first variation pattern determination process refers to the first variation pattern lottery table A or the first variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 7 and sets the variation time to 0 seconds. The first variation pattern 1 without the first variation pattern or the first variation pattern 1 whose variation time is set to 3 seconds is easily determined. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A or the second variation pattern A shown in FIG. With reference to the 2 fluctuation pattern lottery table B, the fluctuation pattern 1 with no fluctuation is set to 1 second, and the fluctuation time is set to 2 seconds. Reach No variation pattern 2 there are likely to be determined.

  If the jackpot is not won, the game state is normal and the number of holds is 4 to 7, the variable group determination process refers to the variable group lottery table C shown in FIG. Is easily determined, and in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, and it is easy to determine the absence of the first variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. Thus, in the second variation pattern determining process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  When the jackpot is not won and the gaming state is a probable change state or a short time state, the variable group determination process D shown in FIG. By being easily determined, in the first variation pattern determination process, the first variation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. 7 is referred to, and it is easier to determine the absence of the first variation pattern in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 9 is referred to, and the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  Therefore, when the jackpot is not won, the longer the number of holds in the normal state, the shorter the variation time is set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is possible to increase the frequency at which execution triggers arrive. In addition, in the probability variation state or the short time state, regardless of the number of holds, the shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Can be made higher.

  As described above, the special lottery means 230 receives the first special random number value from the special random number storage means 2914 when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not variably displayed and the gaming state is not the special gaming state. Alternatively, the second special random number value is read out, and a jackpot determination process, a symbol determination process, a variation group determination process, a first variation pattern determination process, a second variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed as a special lottery. When storing the first special random number value or the second special random number value, the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, the second variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed as the preliminary determination process. Perform (prior judgment means).

  More specifically, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) determines whether or not the special lottery random number from the random number generator 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 or the second start prize port sensor 108. When the numerical value is acquired, before being stored as the first special random number value in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area Before storing as a second special random number value in any of 4, depending on the gaming state and the number of pending at that time, the jackpot determination process, symbol determination as a prior determination process for the first special random value or the second special random value Processing, variation group determination processing, first variation pattern determination processing, second variation pattern determination processing, and the like are performed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 obtains the preliminary determination results including the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, and the second variation pattern determination process as the preliminary determination process in advance. Either one of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 1 in association with the first special random number value or the second special random number value subjected to the determination process. Stored in one of the second special reserved storage areas 4.

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

  The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The first special symbol until the total variation time of the variation time according to the first half variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination processing and the variation time according to the second half variation pattern determined by the second variation pattern determination processing elapses. After the first special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in a predetermined manner. Let

  In the present embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is determined in advance corresponding to each of the four types of jackpot symbols and loses, and the special display control means 240 determines whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process. In a manner corresponding to, and when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, the first special symbol display unit 76 is turned on in the manner corresponding to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process by turning on the 7-segment display. The special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76.

  The second special symbol display control process is a process performed when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special symbol until the total variation time of the variation time according to the first variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination processing and the variation time according to the second variation pattern determined by the second variation pattern determination processing elapses. After the second special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 7-segment display of the display unit 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 in a predetermined manner. Let

  And the special display control means 240 is a mode according to whether or not the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, and if the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process, the mode according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process Then, the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 is turned on to stop and display the second special symbol, and the second special symbol display unit 80 displays the result of the special lottery.

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 11, the gaming state transition control means 250 transitions a gaming state between a normal state, a special gaming state, a probability variation state, and a short time state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. I do. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

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

  In the normal state, the winning probability per normal in the normal lottery is as low as about 1/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as long as 20 seconds, and the period in which the normal actor 52 is in the expanded state is 0.1 second. Since it is shorter, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50.

  The special game state is started based on the fact that the jackpot is won in the special lottery in the normal state, the probability variation state, and the short-time state, and a special game with a predetermined number of rounds (number of executions) is executed according to the type of the jackpot symbol It ends when it is done.

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

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

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16 round normal symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the 16 round special games from the first round to the 16th round are executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  In addition, when the special game state is started on the basis of the fact that the winning flag of the 4 round normal symbol is set to the ON state in the special lottery, the 4 round special games from the first round to the fourth round are executed. The special gaming state ends on the condition.

  The probability change state starts when the special game state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16-round probability variation symbol or the four-round probability variation symbol (probability variation symbol) is set to the ON state ends. Can be transferred to the special game state or the normal state. In the probability variation state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the winning probability per ordinary is set to about 19/20, and the jackpot lottery table B in which the winning probability per jackpot is set to 1/31. The player is more advantageous than the normal state in that a special lottery is performed with reference. Then, the probability variation state ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the probability variation state reaches 9999 times, and shifts to the normal state.

  Specifically, when the special gaming state ends, the gaming state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 9999) corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 9999) to the probability variation end determination counter 2930 of the main memory 290 to change the probability. Every time a special lottery is performed in the state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of times of one game from the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930. When the stored value of the probability variation end determination counter 2930 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the probability variation state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the probability variation state, the win probability in the special lottery is set to 1/31. Therefore, the special gaming state is started before the number of special lotteries performed in the probability variation state reaches 9999 times. There is almost no transition to the state.

  In the probability variation state, the winning probability per ordinary in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is as short as 1 second, and the period during which the normal character 52 is in the expanded state is as long as 20 seconds. Therefore, it is advantageous to the player in that the game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  Also, in the probability variation state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holds, so that the special lottery trigger is more frequent than in the normal state. It is supposed to be.

  The short-time state starts when the special gaming state started based on the fact that the winning flag of the 16-round normal symbol or the 4-round normal symbol is set to the ON state ends, and from the short-time state the special gaming state Or the transition to a normal state is possible. In the short-time state, the normal lottery is performed with reference to the normal lottery table B in which the normal win probability is set to about 19/20, as in the probability variation state, but the jackpot win probability is about the same as in the normal state. The player is more disadvantageous than the probability variation state in that a special lottery is performed with reference to the jackpot lottery table A set at 1/319. Then, the time-saving state ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the time-saving state has reached 100 times, and shifts to the normal state.

  Specifically, the game state transition control means 250 takes a value corresponding to a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 times) in the time-short-term end determination counter 2932 of the main memory 290 when the game state is shifted to the time-short state. For example, every time a special lottery is performed in the short time state, the decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one time from the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932. Then, when the stored value of the short time end determination counter 2932 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the short time state is ended.

  In the short-time state, as in the case of the probability variation state, the normal winning chance in the normal lottery is as high as about 19/20, and the normal symbol variation time is as short as 1 second, so that the normal character 52 is in the expanded state. Is longer than 20 seconds, which is advantageous to the player in that it makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 50 than in the normal state.

  In the short-time state, as in the case of the probability variation state, a shorter variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings. The execution opportunity comes to come frequently.

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

  The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that the 16-round probability variable symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has a predetermined number of rounds for the 16-round probability variable symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 16 times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 1, in the special game of each round from the first round to the sixteenth round, the special timer 56 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is opened, When the sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value of the big prize counter 2936 to which a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10). The drive control of the special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round probability variable symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 has a predetermined number of rounds for the 4-round probability variable symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the value stored in the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 4), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round from the first round to the fourth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is in the open state, or the number of big prizes When the value of the counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 3 is executed based on the fact that the 16-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 uses the number of rounds predetermined for the 16-round probability variable symbol as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to a certain 16 times (for example, 16) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the stored value of the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 3, in the special game of each round from the first round to the sixteenth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is opened, or the number of big prizes When the value of the counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 4 is executed based on the fact that the 4-round normal symbol is won in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 uses the round counter 2933 as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933 with a predetermined number of rounds. A value corresponding to a certain 4 times (for example, 4) is set, and each time the special feature 56 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, the value stored in the round counter 2933 is set to the number of rounds for one round. Incremental updating is performed by adding a corresponding value (for example, 1). Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 4), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 4, in the special game of each round from the first round to the fourth round, the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the special character 56 is opened, or the number of big prizes When the value of the counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the special accessory driving device 124 is controlled so that the special accessory 56 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The payout control means 270 receives a detection signal from the first start winning port sensor 106, a detection signal from the second start winning port sensor 108, and a detection signal from the big winning port sensor 110 based on the detection signal. Control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command that causes the payout device 130 to pay out four game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects a winning of one game ball, and the second Each time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects winning of one game ball, a command for paying out three gaming balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the big winning opening sensor 110 wins one gaming ball. Each time is detected, a command for paying out 15 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted.

  The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank in which game balls are stored, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor so as to receive the number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates each time one game ball is paid out. The payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on a payout signal from the payout sensor 116. The number of played game balls can be managed.

  The communication control unit 280 performs control to transmit various commands generated according to various calculation results in the main board 100 to the sub board 102. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication connection is made so that information cannot be transmitted.

  Next, the sub substrate 102 will be described. The sub board 102 includes an effect control means 300 and a sub memory 310.

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

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

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

  In the state effect process, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 according to the current game state or the background image based on the command according to the game state or counter value on the main board 100. An effect that suggests the current gaming state to the player is executed by changing or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14.

  For example, when the current game state is a probability change state, the effect control means 300 displays a probability change state image indicating that the current game state is a probability change state on the liquid crystal display 32, and the current game state is shortened. In the state, the liquid crystal display 32 indicates that the current gaming state is the short-time state, and indicates the remaining number of times until the total number of special lotteries performed in the short-time state reaches 100 times. Display an image.

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

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 is based on commands according to the results of the special lottery jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the first variation pattern determination process, and the second variation pattern determination process in the main board 100. It is determined which one of a plurality of types of effect patterns is used for the special lottery effect, and the first special symbol display unit 76 is adapted to the change display and stop display of the first special symbol, or the second special symbol display. The effect device 176 is caused to execute a special lottery effect so as to match the change display and stop display of the second special symbol in the unit 80.

  Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 12 (A), and the left effect symbol on the front side of the background image. 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. Then, each time the special control lottery is performed by reading the first special random number value from the first special reservation storage area 1 and the production control means 300 starts the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76. Or every time the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, with the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, FIG. As shown in (B), whether or not the big win is won in the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a variable manner. In accordance with the mode, and when the jackpot is won, in the mode according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process, the left effect symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352 and the right effect The pattern 354 is stopped and displayed, and the background image is changed on the liquid crystal display 32 in a manner corresponding to each of the plurality of types of effect patterns, or the effect movie in which the character image is operated is reproduced and displayed. A special lottery effect corresponding to the type of the liquid crystal display 32 is executed. Note that a downward arrow in the drawing indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed in a variable manner.

  Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 receives commands corresponding to the results of the special lottery jackpot determination process, symbol determination process, first variation pattern determination process, and second variation pattern determination process from the main board 100. Based on the input, a plurality of types of random values such as a first effect pattern determination random value and a second effect pattern determination random value are acquired as the effect lottery random value and the first effect pattern determination is determined as the effect lottery. Processing and second effect pattern determination processing are performed.

  In the first effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired first effect pattern determination random value, the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half part of the special lottery effect is selected from among a plurality of types of first half effect patterns. It is a process to determine. In the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 performs random number determination processing with reference to any of the plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310. It is selected according to the first half variation pattern determined by the first variation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first lottery pattern storage unit 3112 stores the first variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 in the first lottery pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 7 respectively. Seven types of first effect pattern lottery tables of effect pattern lottery table A to first effect pattern lottery table G are stored (not shown). In each first effect pattern lottery table, one of a plurality of types of first-half effect patterns is associated with each of 100 first effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99. Then, if the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first variation pattern determination process is the first variation pattern 2. If the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, the first effect pattern lottery table B corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the first variation pattern determination process is selected.

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

  In the second effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired second effect pattern determination random value, the latter half effect pattern corresponding to the latter half part of the special lottery effect is set to any of a plurality of types of the latter half effect patterns. It is a process to determine. In the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 performs random number determination processing by referring to any of the plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310. It is selected according to the latter half fluctuation pattern determined by the second fluctuation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, it corresponds to the case where the result of the second variation pattern determination process in the main board 100 is each of the variation pattern 1 without reach 1 to variation pattern 3 without reach and the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables (second illustration pattern lottery table A to second effect pattern lottery table H) (not shown). In each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of 100 second effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effects as a plurality of types of latter-stage effect patterns. One of the patterns is associated. When the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the second variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern. If it is 1, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the latter half variation pattern determined in the second variation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, and one second effect pattern determination random value is associated with any of a plurality of types of reach-less effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. By determining whether or not there is one reach effect pattern or a plurality of types of reach effect patterns, one reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined.

  Here, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of first half production patterns, and the production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table A is the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The production time of the first half production pattern that is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table B is set to 5 seconds that is the same as the fluctuation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first production pattern lottery table.

  Further, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns and the plurality of types of reach production patterns, and the production times of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table A are as follows: These are all set to 1 second, which is the same as the variation time of the no reach variation pattern 1, and the production times of the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table E are all the variations of the reach variation pattern 1. It is set to 20 seconds that is the same as the time, etc. The production time of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns or the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by each second production pattern lottery table is the second production pattern lottery. Change of reach variation pattern or reach variation pattern corresponding to the table It is set time to be the same as.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. In the total production time of the production time according to the first half production pattern determined in the first production pattern determination process and the production time according to the latter half production pattern decided in the second production pattern determination process, Execute special lottery effects. As a result, the variation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 and the effect time of the special lottery effect are synchronized.

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

  Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. Temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. At substantially the same timing as displayed, as shown in FIG. 12 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354. The fixed stop is displayed.

  Also, for example, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot determination process or when the jackpot is not won in the jackpot determination process, and the reach effect pattern is determined in the second effect pattern determination process, the first special As the first special symbol on the symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80 starts to be changed, the left effect symbol 350 and the middle effect symbol 352 are displayed as shown in FIG. Then, the variation display of the right effect design 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the left effect design 350 is first temporarily stopped, and then, as shown in FIG. 13 (C), the medium effect design 352 is displayed. The right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left performance design 350 while being variably displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (D), the reproduction display of the effect animation corresponding to the determined effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol display unit 76 in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol display unit 80 The reproduction display of the effect animation is finished within the variation time of the second special symbol.

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

  If the jackpot is won, as shown in FIG. 13 (E), an effect video in which the character A wins the character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the liquid crystal display In the upper right of the 32 display areas, the reduced effect design 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (big win mode) as the reduced left production design 360 and the reduced right production design 364, so that the player has won the jackpot Will be temporarily notified.

  Then, the effect animation in which character A wins against character B ends, and as shown in FIG. 13F, the left effect symbol 350 and the medium effect symbol 352 that are temporarily stopped and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are confirmed and stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. In addition, a sound effect that notifies the player that the jackpot has been won is output from the speaker 14, so that the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has been won.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won, an effect video in which character A is defeated by character B is played in the center of the display area of liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. In the upper right of the display area of the display 32, the reduced effect design 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a different mode (reach lose mode) from the reduced left production design 360 and the reduced right production design 364, so that the big win is not won. The player is temporarily notified.

  Then, the moving image in which character A is defeated by character B is finished, and as shown in FIG. 13I, the left effect symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352, and the temporary effect symbol 352 temporarily displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the right effect symbol 354 is displayed, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are fixedly stopped and displayed at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Thus, the player is definitely notified that the jackpot has not been won.

  Here, in the special lottery effect process, a common effect video may be reproduced and displayed both when the jackpot is won and when the jackpot is not won. Can greatly increase the player's expectation of winning the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, in the effect pattern determined when the 16-round probability variation symbol is determined in the symbol determination process, the numerical portions 410 of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are all “ 7 ”is displayed in a fixed stop manner.

  Further, in the effect pattern determined when the 4-round probability variation symbol is determined in the symbol determination process, the number portions 410 of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 all indicate “1”. In addition to the fixed stop display in the mode, the fixed stop display may also be performed in the mode indicating “3” or “5”.

  Further, in the effect pattern determined when the 16-round normal symbol is determined in the symbol determination process, the number portions 410 of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 all indicate “8”. Even in the mode, a fixed stop may be displayed.

  Also, in the effect pattern determined when the 4-round normal symbol is determined in the symbol determination process, the number portion 410 of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 all indicate “2”. In addition to the fixed stop display in the mode, the fixed stop display may also be performed in the mode indicating “4” or all “6”.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are changed on the liquid crystal display 32 with the effect pattern according to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. By displaying, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery while enhancing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot. After that, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the fixed stop.

  In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on a command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image indicating the status of the first special random value or the second special random value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14A, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 4 of the special random number storage unit 2914 are provided below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Corresponding to the special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, four reserved display areas (display areas) of a first reserved display area 411 to a fourth reserved display area 414 are provided. In the area, as shown in FIG. 14A, a first reserved image 420 indicating which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 stores the first special random number value, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 14B, the second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value can be displayed. It has become.

  In detail, the production control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 Are stored in the first hold display area 411, the first special hold storage area 1 and the first special hold storage area 2 respectively. When one special random value is held, the first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. When no second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special random number values reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 Depending on the number of first hold display area 411 and displays the first hold image 420 in each of the fourth hold display area 414. In the example of FIG. 14A, the second special random storage value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 1 Since the first special random number value is held in each of the special hold storage areas 3, the first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 to the third hold display area 413.

  In addition, the production control unit 300 stores the first special reservation storage area 1 in the second special reservation storage area 1 regardless of whether the first special random storage value is stored in any of the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage area 4. When the 2 special random number values are held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in the first hold display area 411, and the second special hold storage area 1 and the second special hold storage area 2 are displayed in the second special hold storage area 1 and the second special hold storage area 2, respectively. When the random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. If the second special random number value is stored in any of the special reserved storage areas 4, the number of second special random number values held in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 In response to the first hold display area 41 In each of the to fourth hold display area 414 displaying the second hold image 422. In the example of FIG. 14 (B), the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 2, thereby the first hold display area 411 to the second hold. A second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

  In the present embodiment, one hold display corresponding to the special hold storage area of the special random number storage unit 2914 is made in the area on the left side of the first hold display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. An area 430 is provided. When the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the first display image is stored in the reserved display area 430. 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the special reserved storage area, the second reserved image 422 is displayed.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 14A, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, and the first special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area. As shown in FIG. 14C, the effect control means 300 moves the first hold image 420 displayed in the first hold display area 411 to the hold display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350, middle The display of variation of the effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is held with an ordinal number one smaller than the original hold display area. Display control to move to the display area is performed. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number that is the target of the current special lottery, and is displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the subject of the next special lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14D, when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a definite stop and the result of the current special lottery is displayed, the result is stored in the special reserved storage area. As the first special random number value is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. When the first special random number value is further read out from the first special hold storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300, although not shown, displays the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430 and the left effect design 350, the medium effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are started to be displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed in which the first hold image 420 is moved from the original hold display area to the hold display area whose ordinal number is one smaller.

  Although not shown, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 hold a plurality of second special random number values in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 1. When the special lottery is performed and the second special random number value is stored in the special reserved storage area, the effect control unit 300 displays the second reserved image 422 displayed in the first reserved display area 411 The second hold image displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 is moved to the hold display area 430 and the variable display of the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 is started. Display control is performed to move 422 from the original hold display area to the hold display area whose ordinal number is one smaller. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the current special lottery and is displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value to be subjected to the special lottery after the next time.

  Further, the production control means 300 obtains the first special random number value after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired according to the pre-determination result corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value. Alternatively, the first special random number value is obtained until the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed until the first special symbol or the second special random value is displayed, or after the first special random number value or the second special random number value is acquired. Alternatively, for the first special random value or the second special random value acquired immediately before the second special random value, the pre-reading effect is produced until the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed and displayed. To run. In the present embodiment, as the prefetching effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the prefetching effect is determined is used. Change, display an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from a normal background image Or In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state or the short-time state, the first special random value is used. The pre-reading effect is not performed.

  Here, the production control means 300 determines whether the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determined result corresponding to the first special random value or the second special random value is that the jackpot is won or the jackpot is not won. If the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern, the pre-reading effect is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value.

  More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the special lottery means 230 does not win the jackpot in the jackpot determination process performed as the pre-determination process, the variation group included in the first special random value or the second special random value Whether the determined random value is a first indefinite value (a value in the first range) that is one of 0 to 69, or a second indefinite value (a value in the second range) that is any of 70 to 89 , 90 to 99, it is determined whether the value is a fixed value (a value in the third range). Then, when the variable group determined random number value is the first indefinite value, the first indefinite value information is set as a prior determination result, and when the variable group determined random number value is the second indefinite value, the second indefinite value is set. When the value information is set as a prior determination result and the variable group determination random value is a fixed value, the fixed value information is set as the prior determination result.

  Then, if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result indicates that the jackpot is won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the prefetching effect can be executed for the first special random value or the second special random value. If the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not fixed value information is included in the prior determination result, and fixed value information is included. The pre-reading effect lottery is performed.

  As a result, in the present embodiment, when the preliminary determination process is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random value, and when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random value or the second special random value. When the special lottery is performed for the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the pre-reading effect is decided even if the number of holdings is changed, the jackpot is won or the jackpot is not won Even so, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

  And when the execution control means 300 determines execution of the pre-reading effect in the pre-reading effect lottery for the first special random number value, the special reservation storage area and the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage area 4 Jackpot included in the pre-determined result among the first special random number values that are reserved in FIG. 1 and that are acquired before the first special random value that is determined to be executed in advance. The first special random number that is the result of the decision process that is won by the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot decision process that is included in the pre-judgment result is that the jackpot is not won, but the pre-judgment result contains fixed value information When there is no first special random number value, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  In addition, when execution of the prefetch effect is determined in the prefetch effect lottery for the second special random number value, it is reserved in the special reserve storage area and the second special reserve storage area 1 to the second special reserve storage area 4. Among the second special random numbers that are the second special random values and are acquired before the second special random values for which the execution of the prefetching effect is determined, the result of the jackpot determination process included in the prior determination result is The second special random number value that the jackpot is won or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is that the jackpot is not won but the pre-judgment result contains the fixed value information When the special random number value does not exist, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  As a result, in this embodiment, when the execution of the pre-reading effect is determined for the first special random value or the second special random value, the winning of the jackpot for the first special random value or the second special random value that is already held is determined. If it is confirmed, if the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, and if it is determined that the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed by the confirmed jackpot The pre-reading effect can be started after the special game state is completed, or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that is being executed or has been determined to be executed is ended. .

3. Control Method of this Embodiment Hereinafter, the control method of this embodiment will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, in the special lottery effect for one special lottery, the variation display and temporary stop display (hereinafter referred to as symbol variation effect) of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are performed a plurality of times. By being repeated, there is a case where a so-called quasi-continuous variation effect that increases the player's expectation for the jackpot is executed.

  15 and 16 show examples of effect images displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 when a specific type of pseudo continuous variation effect is executed as the first half effect pattern of the special lottery effect for one special lottery. FIG. In this example, the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 while the first special random number value is held in each of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 3. As shown in FIG. 15A, the first hold image 420 displayed in the first hold display area 411 moves to the hold display area 430, and the second hold is made. When the first hold image 420 displayed in each of the display area 412 and the third hold display area 413 moves to each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, a special lottery effect is started. At the same time, the pseudo continuous variation effect is started, and as the first symbol variation effect, the variable effect display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is started.

  Then, as the first symbol variation effect, as shown in FIG. 15 (B), after the door closing effect is displayed in which an image in which the double-open door is closed is displayed, as shown in FIG. 15 (C), the door A door opening effect in which an image is displayed is executed, and a character appearance effect 1 in which an image in which the character A appears on the back side of the opened door is displayed, and as shown in FIG. A door closing effect is displayed in which an image of closing the door is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 15E, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a lost manner.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15F, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352, and the right symbol image 354 are displayed as a second symbol variation effect without being confirmed and stopped in a lost manner. The variable display of the symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 is resumed. Here, when the pseudo continuous variation effect is executed, the position of the first reserved image 420 does not change even when the variation display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is resumed. As the second symbol variation effect, an effect effect in which a red effect image is displayed is executed as shown in FIG. 15 (G), and an image in which lightning shines is further displayed as shown in FIG. 15 (H). As shown in FIG. 16A, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352, and the right symbol image 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a lost manner.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16B, the left symbol image 350, the middle symbol image 352, and the right symbol image 354 are displayed as a third symbol variation effect without being fixedly stopped and displayed in a lost manner. The variable display of the symbol image 352 and the right symbol image 354 is resumed. Then, as the third symbol variation effect, as shown in FIG. 16C, a button effect is displayed in which a red button image instructing (prompting) to perform an operation of pressing the effect button 26 shown in FIG. 1 is displayed. 5 is executed. Then, when an operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed within a predetermined period after the operation instruction image is displayed, the operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed at the timing when the operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed. When the predetermined period elapses without being noticed, at the timing when the predetermined period elapses, as shown in FIG. 16D, a dialogue effect 8 in which images of character B and dialogue A are displayed is executed, and FIG. As shown, the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354 are temporarily stopped and displayed in a reach manner. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 13D, the execution of the reach effect corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started.

  In the present embodiment, as in the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, in addition to the three-time pseudo continuous variation effect in which the symbol variation effect is performed three times in the pseudo continuous variation effect, the pseudo continuous variation effect is 2 There are cases where a pseudo continuous variation effect is executed twice in which the symbol variation effect is performed twice. In the present embodiment, as the three-time pseudo continuous variation effect, the three-time pseudo continuous variation effects A to 3 differ in the degree of expectation with respect to the jackpot due to the different frequency of execution when the result of the special lottery becomes a jackpot. There are three types of three-time pseudo-continuous variation effects of the first pseudo-continuous variation effect C, and the frequency to be executed when the result of the special lottery is a big win as the two-time pseudo continuous variation effect is different. Three types of two-time pseudo continuous variation effects A to two times pseudo continuous variation effect C to two times pseudo continuous variation effect C are prepared.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect control means 300 determines any kind of pseudo continuous variation effect as the first half effect pattern, the content of the effect to be executed is determined for each of a plurality of symbol variation effects. In this embodiment, the character appearance effect 1 shown in FIG. 15 (C), the effect effect and lightning effect shown in FIGS. 15 (G) to 15 (H), and the dialogue effect shown in FIG. 16 (D). 8 and the like are classified as main notice effects that are executed as main effects in each of the symbol variation effects in the pseudo continuous variation effect, and the door closing effects and the door opening effects shown in FIGS. The button effect 5 shown in FIG. 16C is classified as a sub-notice effect that is executed in relation to the main notice effect, and a plurality of types of main notice effects are provided for each of the multiple symbol variation effects. A main notice lottery for determining a main notice effect to be executed is performed, and a sub notice lottery for determining a sub notice effect to be executed from a plurality of types of sub notice effects is performed.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, in the effect data storage means 3110, 37 types of main notice effect groups from the main notice effect group 1 to the main notice effect group 37 are prepared. The types of main notice productions have the same basic production content, but there are multiple types of main categories of the same category that differ in some of the production content, such as the color of some images, the types of effects, and the types of characters. The notice production belongs.

  For example, the character appearance effect 1 shown in FIG. 15C belongs to the main notice effect group 24. In addition to the character appearance effect 1, the character appearance effect 1 includes an image in which the character B appears. 7 types of main notice effects, such as character appearance effects 1 to 7 that appear in different characters, such as the character appearance effect 2 that is displayed and the character appearance effect 3 in which an image in which the character C appears, are displayed. Yes. Further, the effect production and the lightning production shown in FIGS. 15G to 15H constitute a step-up production 6 which is one of the productions in which the content of the production changes step by step. 6 belongs to the main notice effect group 5. In addition to the step-up effect 6, the main notice effect group 5 includes a step-up effect 1 in which an effect effect in which a white effect image is displayed and an effect effect in which a red effect image is displayed. The effect effect in which a golden effect image is displayed is executed, and the step-up effect in which the number of stages constituting the step-up effect and the color of the effect image are different, such as the step-up effect 8 in which the lightning effect is further executed. Eight types of main notice effects 1 to step-up effects 8 belong. Further, the dialogue effect 8 shown in FIG. 16D belongs to the main notice effect group 33, and in addition to the dialogue effect 8, the image of the character A and the dialogue A is displayed in the main notice effect group 33. There are 10 types of main notice effects of dialogue production 1 to dialogue production 10 with different combinations of appearing characters and dialogues, such as dialogue production 1 and dialogue production 10 in which images of character C and dialogue D are displayed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, in the effect data storage means 3110, 18 types of sub-notice effect groups 1 to 18 are prepared, and each type of sub-notice effect group is prepared. The basic effects are common to the notice effects group, but there are multiple types of sub-notice effects of the same category with different effects such as the color and shape of some images and the types of effects. Yes.

  For example, the door closing effect and the door opening effect shown in FIGS. 15B to 15D constitute a door opening / closing effect 2, and this door opening / closing effect 2 belongs to the sub-notice effect group 13. In addition to the door opening / closing effect 2, the sub notice effect group 13 includes five types of door opening / closing effects 1 to 5 that are different in the color and shape of the door, the mode of the door opening / closing operation, and the effect type. Deputy notice effect belongs. Further, the button effect 5 shown in FIG. 16C belongs to the sub-notice effect group 14, and in addition to the button effect 5, the button effect 5 includes the button color, shape, effect type, and the like. Six types of sub-announcement effects of different button effects 1 to 6 belong.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, in the effect data storage means 3110, combinations of 37 types of main notice effect groups and 18 types of sub notice effect groups are set as 51 types of system patterns. For the 51 types of system patterns, the system pattern 0, such as the system pattern in which neither the main notice effect group or the sub notice effect group is set, the system pattern 1 or the system pattern 7, etc. There is a system pattern in which the main notice effect group and the sub notice effect group are set, such as a system pattern in which the effect group is set but the sub notice effect group is not set, or the system pattern 4 or the system pattern 30 Existing.

  For example, in the system pattern 7, the main notice effect group 5 to which the step-up effects 6 and the like shown in FIGS. 15G to 15H belong is set, but the sub notice effect group is not set. In the system pattern 30, the main notice effect group 24 to which the character appearance effect 1 shown in FIG. 15C belongs, the door opening / closing effect 2 shown in FIGS. 15B to 15D, and the like. Is set, and in the system pattern 45, the main notice effect group 33 to which the dialogue effect 8 and the like shown in FIG. 16D belong, and as shown in FIG. A sub-notice effect group 14 to which button effects 5 and the like belong is set.

  In the present embodiment, a common main notice effect group is set, such as a system pattern 3 to a system pattern 5, and a system pattern in which no sub notice effect group is set and a sub notice effect group are set. There is a system pattern in which a different sub-notice effect group is set while a common main notice effect group is set. In addition, there are system patterns in which a different main notice effect group is set while a common sub-notice effect group is set, such as the system pattern 5 and the system pattern 8.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, there are a main notice effect group to which the sub notice effect group is associated and a main notice effect group to which the sub notice effect group is not associated, and a plurality of types of sub notices are included. There are a plurality of main notice effect groups associated with a main notice effect group associated with a production group, and a common sub notice effect group associated with a common sub notice effect group.

  Here, in the present embodiment, each of a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to each of the 37 types of main notice effects groups is a big hit due to a difference in the frequency of execution when the result of the special lottery is a big hit. In addition, each of the multiple types of sub-notice effects belonging to each of the 18 types of sub-notice effect groups has a different frequency of execution when the result of the special lottery is a big hit. The degree of expectation for jackpots varies depending on the situation. Accordingly, in a plurality of symbol variation effects in one pseudo continuous variation effect, a main notice effect with a low expectation level is executed after a main notice effect with a high expectation value is executed, or a sub-notice effect with a high expectation value is generated. If a sub-notice effect with a low degree of expectation is executed after it has been executed, the player's expectation will drop from a high state to a low state, and there is a risk that the interest of the game will decline.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when any type of pseudo continuous variation effect is determined as the first half effect pattern, among the multiple symbol variation effects, the last pattern variation effect is first selected from 51 types of system patterns. System pattern lottery to determine the system pattern of the main system, the main notice lottery to determine the main notice effect from the main notice effect group of the determined system pattern, if there is a sub-notice effect group in the determined system pattern, A sub-notice lottery for determining a sub-notice effect from the sub-notice effect group of the determined system pattern is performed.

  Here, with regard to the final design variation effect, the final design variation effect is performed by performing the main notice lottery or the sub-notice lottery according to the expectation for the jackpot of the pseudo continuous change effect determined as the first half change pattern. The main notice effect or the sub notice effect of the expected degree according to the expectation degree for the jackpot of the pseudo continuous change effect determined as the first half change pattern is determined.

  When the main notice effect or sub notice effect of the last pattern variation effect is decided, the system pattern lottery, main notice lottery or sub notice lottery is performed for the symbol change effect of the previous round. As for the design variation effect for the first time, the main notice effect that is not expected to be higher than the main notice effect determined for the last design variation effect is determined, and the sub-notice determined for the last design variation effect. The sub-notice effect that is not expected to be higher than the effect is determined.

  If there is a previous pattern variation effect, the system pattern lottery, main notice lottery or sub-notice lottery is performed for the previous pattern change effect. The main notice effect that is not expected to be higher than the main notice effect that was determined for the symbol variation effect of the previous round is determined, and the secondary change that is determined for the symbol change effect of the previous round is determined. The sub-notice effect that is not expected to be higher than the notice effect is determined.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the main notice that the degree of expectation is low within the range of the degree of expectation with respect to the jackpot of the pseudo continuous variation effect determined as the first half variation pattern in a plurality of symbol variation effects in one pseudo continuous variation effect. The main notice effect or the sub notice effect with high expectation is executed after the effect or the sub notice effect is executed.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the final main notice lottery table used when the main notice lottery for the last symbol variation effect is performed for each of the 37 types of main notice effect groups is stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112. In the final main notice lottery table of each type of main notice effect group, for each of a plurality of types of pseudo continuous variation effects that can be determined as the first half effect pattern, a plurality of types belonging to the main notice effect group of that type Each selection rate of the main notice effect is set.

  In the final main notice lottery table for each type of main notice effect group, when a pseudo continuous variation effect with a high expectation level for the jackpot is determined, it is easy to select a main notice effect with a high expectation value for the jackpot. When a pseudo continuous variation effect with a low expectation is determined, a main notice effect with a low expectation for the jackpot is easily selected.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, for example, on the vertical axis of the final main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group 33, from the second pseudo continuous variation effect A (two times pseudo A) in descending order of expectation. Six types of pseudo continuous variation effects up to 3 times pseudo continuous variation effect C (3 times pseudo C) are set, and in the horizontal axis, the line effect 1 (the line 1) to the line effect 10 (from the left in descending order of expectation) Ten types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 33 up to the line 10) are set, and the selection rate of the main notice effects having a low expectation level is high for the pseudo continuous variation effect having a low expectation value. In this way, for the pseudo continuous variation effect with a high expectation level, the random value is set so that the selection rate of the main notice effect with a high expectation rate is high.

  For example, for the two-time pseudo continuous variation effect A, among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, 8 random values are set for the dialogue effect 1, and 10 random values are set for the dialogue effect 2. In this case, 0 random numbers are set in the dialogue production 10, and 20 random values are set in the dialogue production 5. One of 99 random values is set. In addition, for the three-time pseudo continuous variation effect C, 0 random number values are set for the dialogue effect 1 and 100 random number values are set for the dialogue effect 2 out of 100 random values from 0 to 99. 2 random numbers are set in the dialogue production 3, and 24 random values are set in the dialogue production 8 as a maximum. One of 99 random values is set.

  In the present embodiment, when one type of system pattern is determined for the last symbol variation effect, the pseudo-continuous determined as the first half effect pattern using the final main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group of the determined system pattern. The main notice effect is determined according to the type of the change effect, and the determined main notice effect is stored as the main notice effect of the last symbol change effect.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the pseudo continuous variation effect A is determined three times as the first half effect pattern, and the system pattern 45 is determined for the third symbol effect. Since the main notice effect group 33 of the pattern 45 is the main notice effect group 33, the portion corresponding to the three-times pseudo continuous variation effect A is used in the final main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group 33 shown in FIG. The main notice lottery for determining the notice effect is performed, and the line effect 8 is decided as the main notice effect of the third symbol variation effect.

  In the present embodiment, the final sub-notice lottery table A used when the sub-notice lottery of the final symbol variation effect is performed for each of the specific types of sub-notice effect groups out of the 18 types of sub-notice effect groups. The final sub-notice lottery table B used when the sub-notice lottery of the last symbol variation effect is performed for each of the non-specific types of the sub-notice sub-effect group among the 18 types of sub-predictive effect groups. Is remembered.

  In the final sub-notice lottery table A for each specific type of sub-notice effect group, as with the final main notice lottery table, for each of a plurality of types of pseudo continuous variation effects that can be determined as the first half effect pattern, The selection rates of the multiple types of sub-notice effects belonging to the sub-notice effect group are set, but the final sub-notice lottery table B of each non-specific type of sub-notice effect group is different from the final main notice lottery table. , For each of a plurality of types of main notice effects that can be determined as the main notice effects of the last symbol variation effect, that is, a plurality belonging to the main notice effect group set in the system pattern together with the sub notice effect groups of that type For each type of main notice effect, a selection rate of each of a plurality of types of sub notice effects belonging to the type of sub notice effect group is set.

  In the final sub-notice lottery table A for each specific type of sub-notice effect group, when a pseudo continuous variation effect with a high expectation level for a big hit is determined, a sub-notice effect with a high expectation level for a big hit is easily selected. When a pseudo continuous variation effect with a low degree of expectation for the jackpot is determined, a sub-notice effect with a low degree of expectation for the jackpot is easily selected.

  Specifically, the final sub-notice lottery table A is stored for the sub-notice effect group 14, and as shown in FIG. Are set with six types of pseudo continuous variation effects from the second pseudo continuous variation effect A (2 times pseudo A) to the third time pseudo continuous variation effect C (3 times pseudo C) in descending order of expectation, On the horizontal axis, six types of sub-notice effects belonging to the sub-notice effect group 14 from the button effect 1 (button 1) to the button effect 6 (button 6) are set in descending order of expectation from the left. Random values are set so that the selection rate of the sub-notice effect with low expectation is high for the pseudo-continuous effect with low expectation, and for the pseudo-continuous effect with high expectation, Random numbers are set so that the selection ratio of the notice effect is high. .

  For example, for the two-time pseudo continuous effect A, among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, six random values are set for the button effect 1, and 15 random values are set for the button effect 2. 22 random numbers are set for the button effect 3, and 26 random numbers are set for the button effect 4 as the maximum, and 0 to each of the button effects 1 to 6. One of 99 random values is set. For the three-time pseudo continuous variation effect C, among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, 0 random value is set for the button effect 1 and 0 random value is set for the button effect 2. 13 random number values are set for the button effect 3, and 32 random values are set for the button effect 5, and 0 to each of the button effects 1 to 6. One of 99 random values is set.

  The sub-notice effect group 14 is associated with the main notice effect group 25 in the system pattern 31 and is associated with the main notice effect group 33 in the system pattern 45. The final sub-notice lottery table A and the final sub-notice lottery table A of the sub-notice effect group 14 of the system pattern 45 are both of a plurality of types belonging to the sub-notice effect group 14 for each of the six types of pseudo continuous variation effects. Each sub-notice effect selection rate is set and is common.

  On the other hand, although the final auxiliary notice lottery table B is stored for the auxiliary notice effect group 13, the auxiliary notice effect group 13 is associated with the main notice effect group 24 in the system pattern 30 and the main notice effect in the system pattern 44. In the final sub-notice lottery table B of the sub-notice effect group 13 of the system pattern 30, the sub-notice effect is provided for each of a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 24. The selection rate of each of a plurality of types of sub-notice effects belonging to the group 13 is set. In the final sub-notice lottery table B of the sub-notice effect group 13 of the system pattern 44, a plurality of types of main notices belonging to the main notice effect group 32 are set. For each of the notice effects, a selection rate of each of a plurality of types of auxiliary notice effects belonging to the subsidiary notice effects group 13 is set, and each of them is individual.

  In the final sub-notice lottery table B of each non-specific type of sub-notice effect group, a sub-notice effect that is not expected to be higher than the main notice effect determined for the last symbol variation effect is selected. It has become.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20B, for example, on the vertical axis of the final auxiliary notice lottery table B of the auxiliary notice effect group 13 of the system pattern 30, the character appearance effects 1 ( A plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 24 from the character 1) to the character appearance effect 7 (character 7) are set, and on the horizontal axis, the door opening / closing effect 1 (door 1) in descending order of expectation from the left. ) To door opening / closing effect 5 (door 5), five types of sub-notice effects are set, and unlike the final sub-notice lottery table A, the expectation level of each main notice effect is set. Random values are set so that a high-anticipation sub-notice effect is not selected.

  For example, for the character appearance effect 1, among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, 100 random values are set for the door opening / closing effect 1, and 0 for the door opening / closing effect 2 to the door opening / closing effect 5. A random number value of 0 to 99 is set for the door opening / closing effect 1, and no random value is set for the door opening / closing effect 2 to the door opening / closing effect 5. For the character appearance effect 7, among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, 0 random number values are set for the door opening / closing effect 1, and 3 random values are set for the door opening / closing effect 2. 18 random number values are set for the door opening / closing effect 3, and so on. The random number value is set for the door opening / closing effect 1 with 51 random values set for the door opening / closing effect 5 as the maximum. One of the random numbers from 0 to 99 is set for each of the door opening / closing effects 2 to 6.

  In this embodiment, when one type of system pattern is determined for the last symbol variation effect, the sub-notice effect group of the determined system pattern is a specific type of sub-notice effect group after performing the main notice lottery described above. In some cases, by performing the sub-notice lottery using the final sub-notice lottery table A of the type of sub-notice effect group, the sub-notice effect is generated according to the type of pseudo continuous variation effect determined as the first half effect pattern. If the sub-notice effect group of the determined system pattern is a non-specific type of sub-notice effect group, the sub-notice lottery is performed using the final sub-notice lottery table B of the sub-notice effect group of that type. Thus, the sub-notice effect is determined according to the type of the main notice effect determined for the last symbol variation effect, and the determined sub-notice effect is stored as the sub-notice effect of the last symbol variation effect.

  For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the system pattern 45 is determined for the third symbol variation effect, and the sub-notice effect group of the system pattern 45 is the sub-notice effect group 14. Therefore, the sub-notice lottery for determining the sub-notice effect using the portion corresponding to the three-time pseudo continuous variation effect A in the final sub-notice lottery table A of the sub-notice effect group 14 shown in FIG. Button effect 5 is determined as the sub-notice effect of the third symbol variation effect.

  When the main notice effect and the sub notice effect of the last symbol variation effect are determined in this way, the system pattern is determined for the symbol variation effect of the previous round of the last time, but in this embodiment, each of the plurality of symbol variation effects is determined. For each of the multiple symbol variation effects, the same main pattern or the same sub-notice effect group belongs to the same main notice effect group. The sub-notice effect belonging to the same main notice effect group is determined because the sub-notice effect belonging to the main notice effect group belonging to different main notice effect groups or the different sub notice effect effects group is decided. Manage the level of expectation for jackpots not only during production but also between multiple types of main notice productions belonging to different main notice production groups. Not between the sub announcement attraction of a plurality of types belonging to the sub announcement attraction group only, varies between the sub-announcement attraction plurality of types of sub announcement attraction belonging to group, it is necessary to manage the level of expectation for jackpot.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to each of 37 types of main notice effects groups, and a plurality of kinds of sub notice effects belonging to each of 18 types of sub notice effects groups. For each of these, any level value (specific information, step value) from “1” to “7” corresponding to the degree of expectation for the jackpot is set. Specifically, in the present embodiment, as the degree of expectation for the jackpot is higher, a larger value is set as the level value. For example, as shown in FIG. Each of the ten main notice effects from 1) to the line effect 10 (the line 10) is set with any level value from “1” to “7”, as shown in FIG. In addition, for example, each of six types of sub-notice effects from button effect 1 (button 1) to button effect 6 (button 6) belonging to the sub-notice effect group 14 has a level of “1” to “6”. Value is set.

  In the present embodiment, when the main notice effect is determined in the main notice lottery of each time of the symbol variation effect, the determined level value of the main notice effect is stored as the level value of the main notice effect of each time the symbol change effect, When the sub-notice effect is determined in the symbol variation effect sub-notice lottery, the determined level value of the sub-notice effect is stored as the level value of the sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect each time.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the dialogue effect 8 is determined as the main notice effect of the third symbol variation effect, so the main notice of the third symbol change effect is shown. Since the level value “5” corresponding to the dialogue effect 8 is stored as the level value of the effect and the button effect 5 is determined as the sub-notice effect of the third symbol variation effect, the sub-notice of the third symbol variation effect The level value “5” corresponding to the button effect 5 is stored as the effect level value.

  And in this embodiment, when the system pattern is determined for the symbol variation effect of the previous round, the system pattern of the last symbol variation effect is different from the system pattern of the symbol variation effect before the last round. In accordance with the level value of the main notice effect of the last pattern change effect, the main notice lottery will be drawn for the symbol change effect of the previous round, and the pattern pattern of the previous pattern change effect will be drawn. When the sub-notice effect group is set, the sub-notice lottery is performed for the symbol change effect of the previous round in accordance with the level value of the sub-notice effect of the last symbol change effect. On the other hand, if the system pattern of the last symbol variation effect is the same as the system pattern of the last symbol variation effect before the last round, depending on the type of the main notice effect of the last symbol variation effect, If the main notice lottery is performed for the symbol variation effect of the previous round, and the sub-notice effect group is set in the system pattern of the symbol variation effect of the previous round, the final symbol variation effect is set. The sub-notice lottery is performed for the symbol variation effect of the first round before the final round according to the type of the sub-forecast presentation.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the next time to be determined first as the descending main notice lottery table used when performing the main notice lottery of the symbol variation effects other than the final time for each of the 37 types of main notice effect groups. Different system down main notice lottery table used when the pattern pattern of the current symbol variation effect and the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect are different from each other, the system pattern of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance, and the current symbol variation The same-system descending main notice lottery table used when the production system patterns are the same is stored in the production lottery table storage means 3112.

  And in the different system descending main notice lottery table of each type of main notice effect group, for each level value of a plurality of types of main notice effects that can be decided as the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect decided first. That is, for each of the level values “1” to “7”, the selection rates of the plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the type of main notice effect group are set. On the other hand, in the same-line descending main notice lottery table of each type of main notice effect group, for each of a plurality of types of main notice effects that can be determined as the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined earlier, that is, For each of a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the type of main notice effect group, a selection rate of each of a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the type of main notice effect group is set.

  Then, in the different system descending main notice lottery table of each type of main notice effect group and the same system descending main notice lottery table of each type of main notice effect group, the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is determined. The main notice effect that does not have a high level value is selected.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), for example, the vertical axis of the different system descending main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group 5 includes “1” to “7” in descending order of expectation. Level values are set, and on the horizontal axis, eight types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 5 from step-up effect 1 (SU1) to step-up effect 8 (SU8) are set in order of increasing level value from the left. The random number value is set so that the main notice effect having a level value higher than each level value on the vertical axis is not selected.

  For example, for the level value “1”, among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, 36 random values are set for the step-up effect 1 and 64 random values are set for the step-up effect 2. In the step-up effect 3 to the step-up effect 8, 0 random number values are set, and the maximum value of 64 random number values set in the step-up effect 2 is set to the level value “1”. Any one of random numbers from 0 to 99 is set for each of the step-up effects 1 to 2, and a random value is set to the step-up effects 3 to 8 that have a level value “2” or more. Not. For the level value “7”, among the 100 random numbers from 0 to 99, 0 random number values are set for the step-up effect 1 to the step-up effect 2 and 3 for the step-up effect 3. The random value is set to 9, the random number is set to 9 for the step-up effect 7, and the maximum value of 28 random values is set to the step-up effect 7 to set the level value “1”. No random value is set for step-up effect 1 to step-up effect 2, and each of step-up effect 3 to step-up effect 8 with level value “2” to level value “7” is 0 to 99. One of the numerical values is set.

  In the present embodiment, in the different system descending main notice lottery table, for each level value except the level value “1”, the largest random number value is given to the main notice effect whose level value is one smaller than each level value. The level value “1” is set because the next most random number value is set in the main notice effect that is set and has a level value that is two smaller than each level value, or in the main notice effect that has the same level value as each level value. ”, The main notice effect having one level value smaller than each level value is most easily selected, and the main notice effect having two level values smaller than each level value, or each level value and level value is The same main notice effect is easily selected next.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 22B, for example, the vertical axis of the same-system descending main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group 5 has step-up effects 1 (SU1) to step-up effects 8 in order from the lowest level value. Eight types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 5 up to (SU8) are set, and on the horizontal axis from step-up effect 1 (SU1) to step-up effect 8 (SU8) in order of increasing level value from the left. 8 types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 5 are set, and a random value is set so that a main notice effect having a level value higher than the level value of each main notice effect on the vertical axis is not selected. Yes.

  For example, for the step-up effect 1 on the vertical axis, eight random number values are set in the step-up effect 1 on the horizontal axis out of 100 random numbers from 0 to 99, and the step-up effect 2 on the horizontal axis. 92 random number values are set, step up effect 3 to step up effect 8 are set to 0 random numbers, and step up effect 2 is set to 92 random numbers. Is set to a maximum, any one of the random values from 0 to 99 is set for each of the step-up effects 1 to 2 with the level value “1”, and the step-up effects 3 to the step-up effects with the level value “2” or more No random number value is set in 8. Also, for the step-up effect 8 on the vertical axis, out of 100 random values from 0 to 99, 0 random number values are set for the step-up effect 1 to the step-up effect 2 on the horizontal axis, and the horizontal axis Three random values are set for the step-up effect 3, nine random values are set for the step-up effect 4 on the horizontal axis, and 43 random values are set for the step-up effect 7. No random number is set for step-up effect 1 to step-up effect 2 with level value “1”, and step-up effect 3 to step with level value “2” to level value “6”. One of random numbers from 0 to 99 is set for each of the up effects 7.

  In the present embodiment, in the same-line descending main notice lottery table, the main notice effect that is the same as the main notice effect on the vertical axis is set to a random number value or set to a small random value. The main notice effect that is the same as the main notice effect of the symbol variation effect is not selected as much as possible.

  In the present embodiment, when one type of system pattern is determined for the design variation effect before the last round, the system pattern of the last design variation effect and the system pattern of the design variation effect before the last time are determined. Is different, depending on the level value of the main notice effect of the last symbol variation effect by performing the main notice lottery using the different system down main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group of the determined system pattern , When the main notice effect is determined for the design variation effect of the previous round, while the system pattern of the design variation production of the last round is the same as the system pattern of the design variation production of the previous round The main notice lottery table of the same system descending main notice effect lottery of the main notice effect group of the determined system pattern is used, so that the final previous To determine the main announcement attraction for the symbol variation director. Then, the determined main notice effect is stored as the main notice effect of the previous pattern variation effect, and the level value corresponding to the determined main notice effect is the main notice of the symbol change effect of the previous time. Save as the level value of the production.

  For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the system pattern 45 is determined for the third symbol variation effect, and the level value “5” is set as the main notice effect for the third symbol variation effect. ”Is determined, and the system pattern 7 is determined for the second symbol variation effect. Since the main notice effect group of the system pattern 7 is the main notice effect group 5, the main effect shown in FIG. The main notice lottery for determining the main notice effect using the portion corresponding to the level value “5” in the different system descending main notice lottery table of the notice effect group 5 is performed, and the main notice effect of the second symbol variation effect is performed. Step-up effect 6 is determined. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 19, the step-up effect 6 is saved as the main notice effect of the second symbol variation effect, and the step-up effect 6 is set as the level value of the main notice effect of the symbol change effect before the last round. The corresponding level value “5” is stored.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for each of the 18 types of sub-notice effect groups, the above-described descending main notice lottery table is used as the descending sub-notice lottery table used when performing the sub-notice lottery of the symbol variation effect other than the last time Similarly, a different system descending sub-notice lottery table used when the system pattern of the next symbol variation effect determined earlier is different from the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect, and the next symbol variation effect determined first. The same-system descending sub-notice lottery table used when the system pattern of the current pattern variation and the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect is the same is stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112.

  Then, in the different system descending sub-notice lottery table of each type of sub-notice effect group, for each level value of a plurality of types of sub-notice effect that can be determined as the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined first. That is, for each of the level values “1” to “7”, the selection rates of a plurality of types of sub-notice effects belonging to the type of sub-notice effect group are set. On the other hand, in the same-line descending sub-notice lottery table of each type of sub-notice effect group, for each of a plurality of types of sub-notice effect that can be determined as the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined earlier, that is, For each of a plurality of types of subsidiary notice effects belonging to the type of subsidiary notice effect group, a selection rate of each of a plurality of types of subsidiary notice effects belonging to the type of subsidiary notice effect group is set.

  In the different system descending sub-notice lottery table of each type of sub-notice effect group and the same system descending sub-notice lottery table of each type of sub-notice effect group, the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is determined. A sub-notice effect that does not have a high level value is selected.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23A, the vertical axis of the different system descending sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group 13 has levels from “1” to “7” in descending order of expectation. A value is set, and on the horizontal axis, there are five types of sub-notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 13 from the door opening / closing effect 1 (door 1) to the door opening / closing effect 5 (door 5) in order of increasing level value from the left. The random number value is set so that a sub-notice effect having a level value higher than each level value is not selected.

  For example, for the level value “1”, out of 100 random numbers from 0 to 99, 100 random values are set for the door opening / closing effect 1 and 0 for the door opening / closing effect 2 to the door opening / closing effect 5. Random number values are set, and so on. One of the random values from 0 to 99 is set to the door opening / closing effect 1 with the level value “1”, and the door opening / closing effect 2 to the door opening / closing with the level value “2” or more. A random value is not set for the effect 5. Also, for the level value “7”, 0 random number values are set in the door opening / closing effect 1 to the door opening / closing effect 2 out of 100 random values from 0 to 99, and 3 in the door opening / closing effect 3. The random value of 71 is set, 71 random values are set for the door opening / closing effect 5, and the maximum value of 71 random values for the door opening / closing effect 5 is set. No random value is set for the door opening / closing effect 1 to the door opening / closing effect 2 with the level value “2”, and the door opening / closing effect 3 to the door opening / closing effect 5 with the level value “3” to the level value “5”. Is set to one of random numbers from 0 to 99.

  In the present embodiment, in the different system descending sub-notice lottery table, for each level value excluding the level value “1”, the most random value is assigned to the sub-notice effect whose level value is one lower than each level value. The level value “1” is set because the next most random number value is set in the sub-notice effect that is set and the level value is two smaller than each level value, or in the sub-notice effect that has the same level value as each level value. ”, The sub-notice effect whose level value is one smaller than each level value is most easily selected, and the sub-notice effect whose level value is two smaller than each level value, or each level value and level value is The same sub-notice effect is easily selected next.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23B, the vertical axis of the descending sub-notice lottery table of the same system of the sub-notice effect group 13 shows the door opening / closing effect 1 (door 1) to the door opening / closing effect 5 in descending order of the level value from the top. Five types of sub-notice effects belonging to the sub-notice effect group 13 up to (door 5) are set, and door opening / closing effects 1 (door 1) to door opening / closing effects 5 (door Five types of sub-notice effects belonging to the sub-notice effect group 13 up to 5) are set, and a random value is set so that a sub-notice effect with a level value higher than the level value of each sub-notice effect is not selected. Yes.

  For example, for the door opening / closing effect 1 on the vertical axis, 100 random values are set in the door opening / closing effect 1 on the horizontal axis among the 100 random values from 0 to 99, and the door opening / closing effect 2 to the door opening / closing effect. A random number value of 0 is set for effect 5, and a random number value of 0 to 99 is set for door opening / closing effect 1 with level value “1”, and door opening / closing with level value “2” or more is performed. Random values are not set for production 2 to door opening / closing production 5. For the door opening / closing effect 5 on the vertical axis, out of 100 random values from 0 to 99, 0 random number values are set for the door opening / closing effect 1 on the horizontal axis, and the door opening / closing effect 2 on the horizontal axis. 15 random numbers are set, 32 random values are set for the door opening / closing effect 3 on the horizontal axis, and 46 random values are set for the door opening / closing effect 4 as a maximum. No random value is set for the door opening / closing effect 1 with the level value “1”, and the door opening / closing effect 2 with the level value “2” to the level value “5” is 0 to 99 for each of the door opening / closing effects 5. One of the random values is set.

  In the present embodiment, in the same-line descending sub-notice lottery table, except for the door opening / closing effect 1 with the level value “1”, only a small random value is set for the same sub-notice effect. The same sub-notice effect as the next symbol change effect is prevented from being selected as much as possible.

  In the present embodiment, when one type of system pattern is determined for the design variation effect before the last round, after the main notice lottery is performed, the system pattern of the final design variation effect is If the system pattern of the previous pattern variation effect is different, the final pattern variation effect is performed by performing the sub-notice lottery using the different system descending sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group of the determined system pattern. Depending on the level value of the sub-notice effect, the sub-notice effect is determined for the symbol variation effect of the previous round, while the system pattern of the last symbol variation effect and the pattern before the last round If the system pattern of the variation effect is the same, the sub-notice of the final symbol variation effect is performed by performing the sub-notice lottery using the same system descending sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group of the determined system pattern. Depending on the type of output, to determine the sub-announcement attraction for the final times of the previous times symbol variation rendition of. Then, the determined sub-notice effect is stored as the sub-notice effect of the previous pattern variation effect, and the level value corresponding to the determined sub-notice effect is determined as the sub-notice of the previous pattern variation effect. Save as the level value of the production.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the system pattern 7 is determined for the second symbol variation effect, but a sub-notice effect group is set for the system pattern 7. Therefore, the sub-notice lottery is not performed, and the sub-notice effect of the second symbol variation effect is determined without the sub-notice effect. However, in this embodiment, if the level value of the sub-prediction effect of the second symbol variation effect is not saved, then the sub-notice lottery is performed using the different system descending sub-notice lottery table for the first symbol variation effect. In this case, the sub-notice effect cannot be determined for the first symbol variation effect according to the level value of the second symbol variation effect of the second symbol variation effect.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the sub-notice effect group is not associated with the level value of the main notice effect described above for each of a plurality of types of the main notice effect belonging to each of the 37 types of main notice effect groups. Any temporary level value (specific information, step value) from “1” to “7” is set as the temporary level value of the sub-notice effect used in the above. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the higher the degree of expectation for the jackpot, the larger the temporary level value is set. As shown in FIG. 24, for example, step-up effect 1 (SU1) belonging to the main notice effect group 5 Each of the eight types of main notice effects from “1” to “Step Up Effect 8” (SU8) is set with any level value “1” to “7” and any one of “1” to “7”. These temporary level values are set. In the main notice effect group 5, the same value as the level value of each main notice effect is set as the temporary level value of each main notice effect.

  And in this embodiment, when the main notice effect is determined in the main notice lottery of each symbol variation effect, the determined level value of the main notice effect is stored as the level value of the main notice effect of each symbol variation effect and determined. The temporary level value of the main notice effect is stored as the temporary level value of the sub notice effect of the symbol variation effect each time.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the step-up effect 6 is determined as the main notice effect of the second symbol variation effect. The level value “5” corresponding to the step-up effect 6 is stored as the level value of the notice effect, and the temporary level value “5” corresponding to the step-up effect 6 is set as the level value of the sub-notice effect of the second symbol variation effect. Is saved.

  As a result, in this embodiment, even if a system pattern for which a sub-notice effect group is not set is determined as a system pattern for each symbol variation effect, the level value of the sub-notice effect is not saved. be able to.

  In this embodiment, provisional level values (specific information, step values) are set for each of a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group to which the sub notice effect group is associated, Even if the main notice lottery for determining the main notice effect is performed from the main notice effect group associated with the sub notice effect group, the provisional level value corresponding to the decided main notice effect is used as the temporary level of the sub notice effect. Save as value. In this case, when the sub-notice effect is determined by performing the sub-notice lottery, the level value corresponding to the sub-notice effect determined by overwriting the temporary level value is stored.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 21A, “1” to “7” for each of a plurality of types of main notice effects belonging to the main notice effect group 33 to which the sub notice effect group 14 is associated. Any temporary level value (specific information, step value) up to is set, and in the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, as shown in FIG. 19, as the main notice effect of the third symbol variation effect Since the line effect 8 has been determined, the level value “5” corresponding to the line effect 8 is stored as the level value of the main notice effect of the third symbol change effect, and the sub-notice of the third symbol change effect The provisional level value “5” corresponding to the dialogue effect 8 is stored as the effect level value. As described above, when the button effect 5 is determined as the sub-notice effect of the third symbol variation effect, the level value “5” corresponding to the button effect 5 as the level value of the sub-notice effect of the third symbol variation effect. "Is overwritten and saved.

  In this way, when the main notice effect and the sub notice effect of the previous pattern change effect are determined, if there is a previous pattern change effect, a system pattern is set for the previous pattern change effect. If the system pattern of the symbol variation effect of the previous round is different from the system pattern of the symbol variation effect of the previous round, the main notice lottery is performed using the different system descending main notice lottery table. Thus, according to the level value of the main notice effect of the previous pattern change effect of the last round, the main notice effect is determined for the previous pattern change effect, and the different system descending sub-notice lottery table is used. By performing the sub-notice lottery, the sub-notice effect is determined for the previous pattern variation effect according to the level value of the sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect of the previous round. On the other hand, if the system pattern of the symbol variation production of the previous round is the same as the system pattern of the symbol variation production of the previous round, the main notice lottery is performed using the same system descending main notice lottery table. By performing, the main notice effect for the previous pattern change effect is determined according to the type of the main notice effect of the previous pattern change effect, and the same line descending sub-notice lottery table is used. By performing the sub-notice lottery, the sub-notice effect is determined for the previous pattern variation effect according to the type of the sub-notice effect of the previous pattern variation effect.

  For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, as shown in FIG. 19, the system pattern 7 is determined for the second symbol variation effect, and the level value “5” is set as the main notice effect for the second symbol variation effect. And the system pattern 30 is determined for the first symbol variation effect, and the main notice effect group of the system pattern 30 is the main notice effect group 24. A main notice lottery that determines the main notice effect using the portion corresponding to the level value “5” in the 24 different system descending main notice lottery tables is performed, and the character appears as the main notice effect of the first symbol variation effect. Production 1 is determined. Accordingly, the character appearance effect 1 is saved as the main notice effect of the first symbol variation effect, and the level value “1” corresponding to the character appearance effect 1 is saved as the level value of the main notice effect of the first symbol change effect. The

  On the other hand, regarding the sub-notice effect, the sub-notice effect of the second symbol variation effect is set to no sub-notice effect, but corresponds to the step-up effect 6 as the level value of the sub-notice effect of the second symbol variation effect. The provisional level value “5” is stored, and the system pattern 30 is determined for the first symbol variation effect. The sub-notice effect group of the system pattern 30 is the sub-notice effect group 13, and therefore, as shown in FIG. The sub-notice lottery for determining the sub-notice effect using the portion corresponding to the level value “5” in the different system descending main notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group 13 is performed, and the sub-notice of the first symbol variation effect is performed. Door opening / closing effect 2 is determined as an effect. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 19, the door opening / closing effect 2 is stored as the sub-notice effect of the first symbol variation effect, and the level value corresponding to the door opening / closing effect 2 as the level value of the sub-notice effect of the first symbol variation effect. “2” is stored.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the main notice effect of the symbol variation effect of the times other than the final time is determined, the level value of the main notice effect of the symbol change effect of the determined time is determined next time. It is determined whether or not the level value of the main notice effect of the variable effect is below the level value. If it is not less than the level value of the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance, the main notice effect of the current symbol change effect belongs to the main notice effect group to which the main notice effect belongs. If the main notice effect with the level value “1” does not belong to the main notice effect group to which the main notice effect belongs, or the main notice effect with the level value “1” belongs, By replacing the system pattern with the system pattern 0 shown in FIG. 17, the main notice effect of the symbol variation effect at that time is replaced without the main notice effect.

  When the main notice effect of the symbol variation effect of the current time is replaced with the main notice effect of level “1”, the level value of the main notice effect of the symbol change effect of that time is replaced with the level value “1”. Then, the temporary level value of the sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect at that time is replaced with the level value “1”. On the other hand, when the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect is replaced with the system pattern 0, the level value of the main notice effect of the current symbol variation effect is replaced with the level value “none”, and the symbol variation effect of the current time is replaced. The temporary level value of the sub-notice effect is replaced with the level value “none”.

  If the system pattern of the symbol variation effect of the current time is replaced with the system pattern 0, and there is a symbol variation effect of the previous time, the system pattern of the symbol variation effect of the previous time is also systematic By determining the pattern 0, the main notice effect of the previous pattern variation effect is determined without the main notice effect, and the sub notice effect is determined without the sub notice effect.

  As a result, in this embodiment, a random number value is erroneously set in the different system descending main notice lottery table or the same system descending main notice lottery table, so that the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect previously determined is set. Even if a main notice effect with a higher expectation for jackpot is determined, the main notice effect with a lower expectation for jackpot is replaced or the main notice effect is not executed.

  In the present embodiment, when the sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect other than the last time is determined, the level value of the determined sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect of the determined time is the next symbol variation that has been previously determined. It is determined whether or not the level value of the sub-notice effect of the effect is equal to or less. If it is not less than or equal to the previously determined level value of the sub-prediction effect of the next symbol variation effect, the sub-notification effect of the symbol variation effect of the current time belongs to the sub-notice effect group to which the sub-notice effect belongs. If the sub-notice effect with the level value “1” does not belong to the sub-notice effect with the level value “1” or if the sub-notice effect with the level value “1” does not belong to the sub-notice effect group to which the sub-notice effect belongs. Replacing the auxiliary notice effect without the auxiliary notice effect.

  When the sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect for the current time is replaced with the sub-notice effect of the level “1”, the level value of the sub-notice effect of the symbol change effect for that time is replaced with the level value “1”. . On the other hand, when the sub-notice effect of the symbol change effect of the current time is replaced without the sub-notice effect, the level value of the sub-notice effect of the symbol change effect of that time is replaced with the level value “none”.

  As a result, in this embodiment, since the random number value is erroneously set in the different system descending sub-notice lottery table or the same system descending sub-notice lottery table, the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect previously determined is determined. Even if a sub-notice effect with a higher expectation for jackpot is determined, the sub-notice effect with a lower expectation for jackpot is replaced or the sub-notice effect is not executed.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the pseudo continuous variation effect A is determined three times as the first half effect pattern, the level value is “1” as the main notice effect for the first symbol variation effect. The character appearance effect 1 set to “2” is determined, the door opening / closing effect 2 whose level value is set to “2” is determined as the sub-notice effect, and the level value “ The step-up effect 6 set to “5” is determined, the sub-notice effect is not determined, and the level value is set to “5” as the main notice effect for the third symbol variation effect. The main notice effect that is executed after the main notice effect that is executed first, such as determining the line effect 8 and determining the button effect 5 having the level value set to “5” as the sub notice effect. But Can expectation for jackpot to avoid low, it is possible towards the sub announcement attraction to be executed after the sub advance notification effect to be executed first is expectation for jackpot so as not to be lower.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when the system pattern of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is the same as the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect, the main notice lottery using the same system descending main notice lottery table As a result, the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect and the main notice effect of the current symbol change effect are rarely the same, and the same line descending sub notice lottery table is used. By performing the sub-notice lottery, the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect and the sub-notice effect of the symbol variation effect of the next time are rarely the same.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the level value of the main notice effect of the current symbol variation effect is not less than or equal to the previously determined level value of the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect, By replacing the main notice effect of the production, even if a random number is set incorrectly in the different system descending main notice lottery table or the same system descending main notice lottery table, it is executed after the main notice effect that is executed first The main announcement effect that will be played will not lower the expectation level for the jackpot, and the level value of the sub-notice effect of the symbol change effect at that time will be determined next time If it is not less than the level value of the production sub-prediction effect, the sub-prediction effect of the different system descending sub-prediction lottery table or the same system descending sub-project Even random value is set incorrectly in lottery table can towards the sub announcement attraction to be executed after the sub advance notification effect to be executed first is expectation for jackpot so as not to be lower.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the sub-notice effect group of the system pattern determined for the last symbol variation effect is a non-specific type of sub-notice effect group, the sub-notice lottery is performed using the final sub-notice lottery table B. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the main announcement effect from having a lower degree of expectation for the jackpot than the subsidiary announcement effect in the final symbol variation effect.

  In the following, when the pseudo continuous variation effect is determined as the first half effect pattern, the flow of processing performed by the effect control means 300 for the symbol variation effect of each time of the pseudo continuous variation effect will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. explain. In the present embodiment, the production control means 300 first determines a system pattern by performing system pattern lottery for each design variation effect of the pseudo continuous variation effect as shown in FIG. 25 (step S100), and performs the main notice lottery. The main notice effect is determined (step S102), and the sub notice lottery is performed to determine the sub notice effect (step S104).

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing details of the main notice lottery in step S102 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 26, in the main notice lottery, a main notice lottery table selection process is performed to select a main notice lottery table used in the main notice lottery (step S110), and the main notice notice lottery table is used using the selected main notice lottery table. Is determined (step S112). Then, the determined level value of the main notice effect is saved (step S114), and the decided temporary level value of the main notice effect is saved as the temporary level value of the sub notice effect (step S116). If the processing target is the last symbol variation effect (Y in step S118), the determined main notice effect is stored as it is (step S120).

  On the other hand, if the processing target is not the last symbol variation effect (N in step S118), the level value of the determined main notice effect is the level value of the main symbol effect of the next symbol variation effect that has been previously determined. It is determined whether or not it is below (step S122), and if it is below the level value of the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined previously (Y in step S122), the decided main notice effect is displayed. It is stored as it is (step S120).

  However, if it is not less than or equal to the level value of the main notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance (N in step S122), the decided main notice effect is replaced with the main notice effect with the level value “1”. Or, it is replaced without the main notice effect (step S124). Then, the level value of the stored main notice effect is replaced with the level value “1” or the level value “none” (step S126), and the temporary level value of the stored sub notice effect is replaced with the level value “1”. Alternatively, after the level value is replaced with “none” (step S128), the replaced main notice effect is stored (step S120).

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing details of the sub-notice lottery in step S104 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 27, in the sub-notice lottery, a sub-notice lottery table selection process is performed to select a sub-notice lottery table to be used in the sub-notice lottery (step S140), and a sub-notice effect is produced using the selected sub-notice lottery table. Is determined (step S142). Then, the determined sub-notice effect level value is stored (step S144). If the processing target is the last symbol variation effect (Y in step S146), the determined sub-notice effect is stored as it is (step S148).

  On the other hand, when the processing target is not the last symbol variation effect (N in step S146), the level value of the determined sub-notice effect is the previously determined level value of the next symbol variation effect of the next symbol variation effect. It is determined whether or not it is below (step S150), and if it is equal to or lower than the level value of the sub-precautionary effect of the next symbol variation effect previously determined (Y in step S150), the determined sub-precautionary effect is displayed. It is stored as it is (step S148).

  However, if it is not less than or equal to the previously determined level value of the sub-prediction effect of the next symbol variation effect (N in step S150), the determined sub-notice effect is replaced with a sub-notice effect whose level value is “1”. Or, it is replaced without an auxiliary notice effect (step S152). Then, the level value of the stored sub-notice effect is replaced with the level value “1” or the level value “none” (step S154), and the replaced sub-notice effect is stored (step S148).

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing details of the main notice lottery table selection process in step S110 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 28, in the main notice lottery table selection process, when the processing target is the last symbol variation effect (Y in step S160), the final main notice lottery table is selected (step S162).

  On the other hand, when the processing target is not the last symbol variation effect (N in step S160), the system pattern of the next symbol variation effect previously determined is the same as the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect. (Step S164), if the system pattern is the same (Y in step S164), the same system descending main notice lottery table is selected (step S166), and if the system pattern is not the same (step S166) In step S164, N), a different system descending main notice lottery table is selected (step S168).

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing details of the sub-notice lottery table selection process in step S140 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 29, in the sub-notice lottery table selection process, when the processing target is the last symbol variation effect (Y in step S180), the sub-predictor of the system pattern determined for the last symbol variation effect. It is determined whether or not the production group is a specific type of sub-notice production group (step S182). If the production group is a specific type of sub-forecast production group (Y in step S182), the final sub-forecast lottery table A is selected. (Step S184) If it is a non-specific type sub-notice effect group (N in Step S182), the final sub-notice lottery table B is selected (Step S186).

  On the other hand, when the processing target is not the last symbol variation effect (N in step S180), the system pattern of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is the same as the system pattern of the current symbol variation effect. (Step S188), if the system pattern is the same (Y in step S188), select the same system descending sub-notice lottery table (step S190), and if the system pattern is not the same (step S190) In step S188, N), a different system descending sub-notice lottery table is selected (step S192).

4). Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  First, in the above embodiment, each of a plurality of types of main notice effects and each of a plurality of kinds of sub notice effects are expected to be a big hit because the frequency of execution when the result of the special lottery is a big win is different. However, each of the multiple types of main notice effects or each of the multiple kinds of sub notice effects has effects such as the color and shape of part of the image, the effect type, and the character type. The degree of expectation for the jackpot may be different due to a difference in part of.

  In the above embodiment, the same main notice effect group may be set for different system patterns, and the system pattern of the next design variation effect and the system pattern of the design variation effect of the current time are determined in advance. Even if the main notice effect group is the same, even if the main notice effect group is the same, the example using the different system descending main notice lottery table has been explained. If the main notice lottery table is used and the sub notice effect group is the same even if the system pattern is different, the same system descending sub notice lottery table may be used.

  In the above embodiment, a combination of 37 types of main notice effect groups and 18 kinds of sub notice effect groups is set as 51 kinds of system patterns. First, a system pattern is determined for each symbol variation effect, and the determined system pattern is determined. Although the example of determining the main notice effect or the sub notice effect from the main notice effect group or the sub notice effect group set in the example has been explained, the combination of the main notice effect group and the sub notice effect group can be set as a system pattern. First, the main notice effect group is determined for each design variation effect, and the main notice effect group is determined from the decided main notice effect group, and the sub notice information group is associated with the decided main notice effect group. May determine the sub-notice effect from the sub-notice effect group associated with the determined main notice effect group, or the main notice performance for each symbol variation effect. The main notice effect group is decided from the decided main notice effect group, the sub notice effect group is decided irrespective of the main notice effect group, and the sub notice effect group is decided from the decided sub notice effect group. May be.

  In this case, if the main notice effect group of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is different from the main notice effect group of the symbol variation effect of the current time, the next symbol change determined in advance is determined. According to the level value of the main notice effect of the effect, the main notice effect is determined using the different system descending main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group of the current pattern change effect, and the main notice of the symbol change effect of the current time is determined. If the sub-notice effect group is associated with the effect group or if the sub-notice effect group is determined for the symbol variation effect of the current time, the level value of the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect previously determined Accordingly, the sub-notice effect is determined using the different system descending sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group of the symbol variation effect of the current time. In addition, when the main notice effect group of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is the same as the main notice effect group of the symbol variation effect of the current time, the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is the same. Depending on the type of the main notice effect, the main notice effect is determined using the same main descending main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group of the current pattern change effect. If the sub-notice effect group is associated or if the sub-notice effect group is determined for the current symbol variation effect, according to the type of the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect previously determined, The sub-notice effect is determined using the different system descending sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group of the symbol variation effect of the time.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the temporary level value of the sub-notice effect is set together with the level value of the main notice effect for each of a plurality of types of the main notice effect belonging to each of the 37 types of the main notice effect group. As described above, the temporary level value may be set only for the main notice effect group to which the sub notice effect group is not associated.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the temporary level value of each main notice effect is set to the same value as the level value. However, the temporary level value of each main notice effect is set to a value different from the level value. You may be made to do.

  Further, the temporary level value of the sub-notice effect (specific information corresponding to the first specific effect) is not set for each of the plurality of types of main notice effects, so that the temporary level value of the sub-notice effect is not saved. May be. In this case, it is a case where the system pattern in which the sub-notice effect group is set for the symbol variation effect other than the last time is determined, and the sub-notice effect of the next symbol variation effect determined in advance is determined. If the level value is not stored, according to the level value (specific information corresponding to the first specific effect) of the main notice effect of the next design change effect determined in advance, the symbol change of the current time You may make it perform a subnotice lottery about production.

  In the above-described embodiment, the main notice effect or the sub notice effect is determined in descending order from the last symbol change effect. However, the main notice effect or the sub notice effect is decided in ascending order from the first symbol change effect. You may make it do. In this case, for each of the 37 types of main notice effect groups, the first main notice lottery table used when performing the main notice lottery for the first symbol variation effect, and the main value with a level value lower than each level value on the vertical axis. Random values are set so that the main notice effect with a lower level than the level value of each main notice effect on the vertical axis is not selected. The same line up main advance notice lottery table is prepared, and for each of the 18 types of auxiliary notice effect groups, the first auxiliary notice lottery table used when performing the first notice variation lottery of the first symbol variation effect, and the vertical axis A different system up sub-notice lottery table in which a random value is set so that a sub-notice effect with a level value lower than each level value is not selected, and a level lower than the level value of each sub-notice effect on the vertical axis. Providing a cognate uplink sub notice lottery table sub announcement attraction value random number values are not selected is set.

  First, a system pattern is determined for the first symbol variation effect, and the main notice effect is determined using the initial main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group set in the determined system pattern. When the sub-notice effect group is set, the sub-notice effect is determined using the first sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group set in the determined system pattern.

  For the second and subsequent symbol variation effects, the system pattern is determined first. If the previous pattern variation effect system pattern is different from the previously determined pattern variation effect, Depending on the level value of the main notice effect of the previous symbol variation effect that has been determined, the main notice using the different system upstream main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group set in the system pattern of the symbol change effect of the current time When a notice effect is determined and a sub-notice effect group is set for the system pattern of the symbol change effect at that time, according to the previously determined sub-notice effect level value of the previous symbol change effect Then, the sub-notice effect is determined using the different system upstream sub-notice lottery table of the sub-notice effect group set in the system pattern of the symbol variation effect of the current time. In addition, if the system pattern of the previous symbol variation effect previously determined is the same as the system pattern of the previous symbol variation effect, the main notice effect of the previous symbol variation effect previously determined Depending on the type, the main notice effect is determined using the same main ascending main notice lottery table of the main notice effect group set in the system pattern of the present pattern change effect, and the system pattern of the present pattern change effect is determined. When the sub-notice effect group is set for the sub-forecast effect group of the previous time, the sub-prediction effect group of the previous time is changed according to the type of the sub-notice effect of the previous symbol change effect previously determined. A sub-notice effect is determined using the same-line upstream sub-notice lottery table of the notice effect group.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when it is determined to perform a pseudo continuous variation effect, an example in which a main notice lottery or a sub-notice lottery is performed for each of a plurality of symbol variation effects has been described. When it is decided to perform a pre-reading effect, a main notice lottery or a sub-notice lottery is performed for each of a plurality of execution timings over a special lottery effect for each of a plurality of special lotteries, and a look-ahead effect is provided at each of a plurality of execution timings As such, a main notice effect or a sub notice effect may be performed. In this example, for example, a first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area 3 in a state where the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 2 are reserved. When the production control means 300 decides to perform the pre-reading effect lottery for the first special random number value stored and stored in the first special reservation storage region 3, the first special reservation storage region 1 to main special lottery or sub notice for each of a plurality of execution timings over special lottery effects for each of the three special lotteries using the first special random number value held in each of the first special reserved storage areas 3 A lottery may be performed, and a main notice effect or a sub notice effect may be performed as a prefetch effect at each of a plurality of execution timings.

  In the above-described embodiment, each of the plurality of types of sub-notice effects has been described as an example of an effect of displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 32. An effect in which the movable body operates may be included.
