(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (which is also the configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Configuration etc. of pachinko gaming machine 1)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1, showing the layout of the main members. The pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is shot and shot from a predetermined ball striking device.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area), variable display (also referred to as a special figure game) of special symbols (also referred to as special figures) as plural types of special identification information. First to do
A special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbol is a number indicating "0" to "9" or "
It is represented by a lighting pattern such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

In addition, "variable display" of a special symbol is, for example, variably displaying a plurality of types of special symbols (the same applies to other symbols described later). The variation includes update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, and enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols. In the special symbol and the variation of the ordinary symbol described later, a plurality of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbol described later, a plurality of decorative symbols are scrolled or updated and one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. In addition, the aspect which blink-displays a certain symbol is also contained in a fluctuation | variation. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is displayed as a stop as a display result (also referred to as derivation or derivation display, etc.) (the same applies to variable display of other symbols described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or fluctuation.

The special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special view". Also, a special drawing game using the first special drawing is referred to as "first special drawing game", and a special drawing game using the second special drawing is also referred to as "second special drawing game". In addition, one type of special symbol display device for performing variable display of special symbols may be used.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 includes, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and the like, and displays various effect images. The image display device 5 may be configured of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronization with the first special drawing game or the second special drawing game,
A variable display of decorative symbols (such as symbols showing numbers and the like) as a plurality of types of decoration identification information different from the special symbols is performed. Here, in synchronization with the first special view game or the second special view game,
The decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, scroll display in the vertical direction or update display) in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the left, "middle" and "right". Note that the special view game to be executed synchronously and the variable display of the decorative symbol are collectively referred to simply as variable display.

On the screen of the image display device 5, a pending display corresponding to the variable display pending for execution, or
A display area may be provided to display an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. The hold display and the active display are also collectively referred to as a variable display corresponding display corresponding to the variable display.

The number of pending variable displays is also referred to as the number of pending storages. The number of pending storages corresponding to the first special view game is also referred to as a first pending storage number, and the number of pending storages corresponding to the second special view game is also referred to as a second pending storage number. The total of the first pending storage number and the second pending storage number is also referred to as the total pending storage number.

In addition, the first hold indicator 25 configured to include a plurality of LEDs at a predetermined position of the game board 2
A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided, and the first hold indicator 25A displays the first hold memory number by the number of lit LEDs, and the second hold indicator 25B is indicated by the number of lit LEDs. Display the second pending storage number.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first start winning opening which is always kept in a predetermined open state where a gaming ball can enter, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first starting winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out and a first special view game can be started.

The variable winning ball device 6B (normally driven combination) forms a second start winning opening which is changed to a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B is, for example,
An electric tulip type character having a pair of movable wing pieces is provided, and the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, whereby the tip of the movable wing piece approaches the winning ball device 6A. It will be in the closing state where the game ball does not enter into the second starting winning opening (also referred to as closing the second starting winning opening). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state where the gaming ball can enter the second start winning opening by the movable wing piece being in the tilting position when the solenoid 81 is in the on state (second start It is also said that the winning opening will be open.). When a game ball enters the second starting winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out and a second special view game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electrically operated tulip type part.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four places on the left and right lower sides of the game area), a general winning opening 10 which is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member is provided. In this case, when the player enters any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a big winning opening is provided. The special variable winning prize ball device 7 has a special winning opening door driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning mouth door (for special electric combination) is in the OFF state, the big winning mouth door closes the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door opens the big winning mouth, and the game ball easily enters the big winning mouth Become.

When the game ball enters the special winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as winning balls. When the game ball enters the big winning opening, for example, more winning balls are paid out than when the game ball enters the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the general winning opening 10.

It is also called "winning" that the game ball enters each winning opening including the general winning opening 10. In particular, winning of the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

In the predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the left side of the game area), the normal symbol display 2
0 is provided. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7 segments of LEDs and the like, and performs variable display of a normal symbol as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from the special symbol. The ordinary symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such variable display of ordinary symbols is also referred to as a common game.

On the left side of the image display device 5, a passage gate 41 through which the game ball can pass is provided. Based on the passage of the game ball through the passage gate 41, the common-play game is executed.

Above the normal symbol display 20, a general drawing reserve display 25C is provided. The common drawing suspension display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of common drawing reservation storages, which is the number of common drawing games whose execution is being held, by the number of lighted LEDs.

On the surface of the game board 2, besides the above-described configuration, a windmill and a large number of obstacle nails for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball are provided. At the lowermost position of the game area, an out port is provided where game balls that have not entered any winning port are captured.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like at upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3.
The game effect lamp 9 for the game effect is provided in the periphery of the game area. The game effect lamp 9 is configured to include an LED.

At a predetermined position (not shown in FIG. 1) of the game board 2, a movable body 32 is provided which operates according to the effect.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a striking operation handle (operation knob) 30 is provided which is operated by a player or the like to fire the gaming ball toward the gaming area by the striking device.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a game ball paid out as a prize ball and a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine are held so as to be able to be supplied to the ball striking device (stored )
The ball supply tray (upper plate) is provided. Below the upper plate, there is provided a hitting plate (lower plate) from which winning balls are dispensed when the upper plate is full.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a stick controller 31A which can be held and tilted by the player is attached. Stick controller 31
A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a push button 31B is provided, which allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation on the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the player's operation (operation etc.), but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is fired toward the game area by the player's rotation operation on the ball striking operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the gaming ball passes through the passing gate 41, a regular drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when a game ball passes passage gate 41 during a period during execution of the last game of a game (when a game ball passes passage gate 41, but a game game based on the passage can not be executed immediately) The regular game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this common-play game, when a specific normal symbol (per-flat symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol is "per common-word". On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol is not displayed as a determined normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol is "general symbol lose".
It becomes. When it becomes "per common plan", opening control is performed to open the variable winning prize ball device 6B for a predetermined period (the second start winning opening is opened).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, a second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters into the start winning opening (winning) during the period during execution of the special figure game, and the period controlled to the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state to be described later (start winning is generated When the special figure game based on the starting winning combination can not be executed immediately), the special figure game based on the entry is suspended from being executed up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special figure game, a special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7") as a confirmed special symbol
The actual symbols differ depending on the jackpot type described later. If it is stopped and displayed, it will be a "big hit", and if it is stopped and displayed, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol such as "2") different from the big hit symbol will be "small hit". Also, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol (a lost symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it is a "loss".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous advantageous state for the player. After the display result in the special view game becomes "small hit", the small hit gaming state is controlled.

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. In the open state, of an elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and a timing until the number of gaming balls entering the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, nine). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period in which the special winning opening can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an open upper limit period. A cycle in which the special winning opening is thus opened is called a round (round game). In the jackpot gaming state, it is possible to execute repeatedly until the round reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

In the jackpot gaming state, the player can obtain a winning ball by advancing the gaming ball into the big winning opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The greater the number of rounds in the jackpot gaming state, and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

In the "big hit", a big hit type is set. For example, the opening mode of the big winning opening (
A plurality of types of round numbers and open upper limit periods) and gaming states after a big hit gaming state (a normal state, a short time state, a definite change state, etc. described later) are prepared, and a big hit type is set accordingly.
As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type capable of obtaining many prize balls, or a jackpot type with few prize balls or hardly capable of obtaining prize balls.

In the small hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit gaming state, the opening mode similar to the big hit gaming state at the time of some big hit classifications (the number of opening of the big winning opening is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same Etc.) the big winning opening is open. As in the case of the big hit type, the "small hit" may be provided with a small hit type.

After the big hit gaming state ends, depending on the big hit type, it may be controlled to the time saving state or the probability changing state.

In the short time state, control (time reduction control) is executed to shorten the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure changes) compared to the normal state. In the time saving state, by shortening the average spread map fluctuation time (period for changing the spread map) than in the normal state, or by improving the probability of being “per spread map” in the spread game game, than in the normal state, etc. Control that makes it easy for game balls to enter the second start winning opening (
High open control, high base control) is also performed. Time saving state is a special symbol (especially the second special symbol)
This is a state advantageous to the player because the fluctuation efficiency of is improved.

In the probability variation state (probability variation state), in addition to the time saving control, probability variation control is performed in which the probability that the display result is a "big hit" is higher than that in the normal state. The probability change state is a state more advantageous to the player because the probability change state of the special symbol is likely to be a "big hit" in addition to the improvement of the variation efficiency of the special symbol.

The time saving state or the probability changing state continues until any one end condition such as the fact that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit gaming state is established first. It is also referred to as “the number of times cut (short in the number of times, short in the number of times definite change, etc.)” as the end condition that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is the end condition.

The normal state is a gaming state other than the special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state which is advantageous for the player, a short time state, a definite change state, etc., and the display result in the common drawing game is "per common drawing". The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special view game will be a "big hit" is a preset state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case of system reset) It is a state controlled in the same way as when the processing was not performed.

A state in which the probability change control is being performed is also referred to as a high probability state, and a state in which the probability variation control is not performed is also referred to as a low probability state. A state in which time saving control is being performed is also referred to as a high base state, and a state in which time saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low base state. By combining these, the short time state is a low probability high base state,
The positive change state is also referred to as a high positive high base state, and the normal state is also referred to as a low negative low base state. The high certainty state and the low base state are also referred to as the high certainty base state.

After the small hit gaming state ends, the change of the gaming state is not performed, and the control result of the special drawing game is continuously controlled to the previous gaming state to become the "small hit" (but the "small hit" occurs) When the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above-mentioned number cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, it is not necessary to have a "small hit" as a display result of the special drawing game.

The gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit gaming state. For example, when the gaming ball passes the specific area, it may be controlled to be in the positive changing state after the big hit gaming state.

(Progress of progress etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of informing the progress of the game or boosting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The said effect is demonstrated below. Note that
The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L, 8R and / or points of the game effect lamp 9 It may be performed by the operation of the movable body 32, etc.

In the "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or (2) In response to the start of the special figure game, variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special drawing game and the second special drawing game, the finalized decorative symbol (a combination of three decorative symbols) which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol )
Also stop display (derivation).

In a period from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the end thereof, the aspect of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach aspect (reach is established). Here, with the reach mode, when the decorative symbol stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later, variable display is performed for the decorative symbol not yet stopped and displayed. Is the aspect that is continuing.

In addition, reach production is executed corresponding to becoming the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative design. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a ratio (also called a big hit reliability or a big hit expectation) in which the display result (display result of the special drawing game or display of the variable display of the decorative symbol) becomes “big hit” according to the presentation mode. A plurality of different types of reach effects are performed. The reach production includes, for example, a normal reach and a super reach having a higher hit reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special view game is "big hit", a finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern on the screen of the image display device 5 The display result of the variable display of the symbol becomes "big hit"). As an example,"
The same decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are aligned and stopped on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the left ",""middle" and "right".

If it is a "probable big hit" controlled to a definite change state after the end of the big hit gaming state, odd decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are aligned and stop displayed, and after the end of the big hit gaming state In the case of uncontrolled "non-deterministic variation big hit (usually big hit)", the even decorative pattern (
For example, "6" etc.) may be aligned and displayed on stop. In this case, an odd decorative pattern is also referred to as a probability variation pattern, and an even number decorative pattern is also referred to as a non-probability variation symbol (normal pattern). After reaching the reach mode with a non-deterministic symbol, a promotion effect that finally becomes a "possibly large hit" may be executed.

When the display result of the special view game is "small hit", a finalized combination symbol (for example, "a small hit combination defined in advance as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5). 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes" small hit "). As an example, "left", "middle", "right" decorative symbol display area 5L, 5C,
The decoration pattern which constitutes the chance eye on the predetermined effective line in 5R is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of big hit gaming state of the same aspect as small hit gaming state) and when it becomes "small hit" , A fixed finalized design may be derived and displayed.

When the display result of the special view game is "loss", the display mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol does not become the reach mode, but the fixed decorative symbol of the non-reach combination is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (" Sometimes it is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). Also, when the display result is "loss", a predetermined reach combination which is not a big hit combination ("reach loss") as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol after the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes the reach aspect. There is also a case where the finalized decorative pattern is displayed in a stopped state (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach loss”).

The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, an advance notice effect or the like for giving notice of the jackpot reliability is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. The advance notice effects include advance notice effects for giving notice of the jackpot reliability in the variable display in execution, and pre-reading notice effects for giving notice of the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display for which execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the normal mode may be performed.

Further, in the image display device 5, by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol temporarily while the decorative symbol is being variably displayed, the variable display is resumed to make one variable display appear as if it were a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner. The pseudo series effect may be performed.

During the jackpot gaming state, a jackpot during the jackpot to notify the jackpot gaming state is executed. As the jackpot effect, an effect of informing the number of rounds or a promotion effect indicating that the value of the jackpot gaming state is improved may be executed. In addition, during the small hitting game state, during the small hitting during the small hitting game state which is notified the small hitting game state is executed. In addition, during the small hit gaming state, and some of the big hit type (big hit type of the big hit gaming state of the same manner as the small hit gaming state, for example, a big hit type that makes the subsequent gaming state highly probable) Depending on the state, the player may not know whether the present is in the small hit gaming state or the big hit gaming state by executing a common effect. In such a case, by performing a common effect after the end of the small hit gaming state and after the end of the big hit gaming state, it is not possible to distinguish whether it is a high probability state or a low probability state. May be

Further, for example, when the special drawing game or the like is not executed, a demonstration (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demonstration effect is executed).

As in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a plurality of sub substrates may be provided for each function, or one sub substrate may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(Operation)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main substrate 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes gaming control main processing. FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 in the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, first, the CPU 103 sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initialization is performed (step S2). The initial setting includes setting of a stack pointer, setting of a register of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output port or the like), setting to make the RAM 102 accessible.

Next, it is determined whether the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3).
). The clear switch is mounted on, for example, a power supply substrate. When the power is turned on with the clear switch on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 through the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (
Step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, C
The PU 103 clears the flag, counter, and buffer stored in the RAM 102 and RA.
M clear processing is performed to set an initial value in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). When receiving the effect control command, the effect control CPU 120 performs, for example, on the image display device 5, screen display for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), the RAM
It is determined whether or not backup data is stored in 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power interruption), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before it becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In the power supply stop process, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes the process of adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for progressing the game (including various flags, status of various timers, etc.)
Besides, the state of the backup flag and the error detection code are also included. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. Backup flag off and RAM 1
When backup data is not stored in 02 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes),
The CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (performed using an error detection code), and determines whether the data is normal (step S5). In step S5, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data at the time of the power supply stop, for example, by the parity bit or the checksum. If it is determined that they match, the RAM 10
It is determined that the data of 2 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (Step S5; No), the internal state can not be returned to the state at the time of stopping the power supply, so the initialization process (Step S8) is executed.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CP
U 103 performs recovery processing (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main substrate 11 to the state at the time of stopping the power supply. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the storage content of the RAM 102 (content of backed up data). As a result, when the power supply is stopped, the gaming state is restored, and when the special symbol is changing, the variation of the special symbol is resumed from the state before the recovery by execution of the timer interrupt processing for game control described later. It will be

Then, the CPU 103 transmits, to the effect control board 12, an effect control command instructing recovery from power failure (step S 7). At the same time, the effect control command for specifying the gaming state before power interruption that has been backed up, or the effect control for specifying the display result of the special figure game in progress when the special figure game is being executed A command may be sent. These commands can use the same commands as those set for transmission in the special symbol process processing described later. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command specifying the time of recovery from the power failure, for example, in the image display device 5, it notifies that the recovery from the power failure has been made or that the recovery from the power failure is in progress. Display the screen to The effect control CPU 120 is
Appropriate screen display may be performed based on the effect control command.

After completing the recovery process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 ((1)
Step S10). Then, the setting of the register of the CTC incorporated in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed so that the timer interrupt is periodically performed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12). ). Then it enters loop processing. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is output from the CPU 10 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) from the CTC.
3 and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG.
First, by executing predetermined switch processing, detection signals from various switches such as the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count switch 23 are processed through the switch circuit 110. Determine presence or absence of reception (step S2
1). Subsequently, by performing predetermined main side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22).
). Thereafter, by executing predetermined information output processing, for example, big hit information (information indicating the number of occurrences of big hit, etc.) supplied to a hole management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of winnings and the like, and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times and the like of the probability variation state) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, the game random number updating process for updating at least a part of the gaming random numbers used on the main substrate 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After this, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S25). CPU1
03 executes special symbol process processing every timer interrupt, and management of execution and suspension of the special figure game, control of big hit game state and small hit game state, control of game state etc are realized (more information Later).

Following the special symbol process processing, a normal symbol process processing is executed (step S26)
). The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process process every timer interrupt, and based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball to the pass gate 41) management of execution and suspension of the common figure game, It enables the release control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per game". The ordinary game is executed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the general drawing reserve display is displayed by turning on the ordinary drawing suspension display 25C.

After executing the normal symbol process processing, as part of the game control timer interrupt processing, processing when a power failure occurs, processing for paying out a prize ball, and the like may be performed. Then C
The PU 103 executes command control processing (step S27). The CPU 103 may set transmission of an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to the sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted, and then the game control timer interrupt process is ended.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process processing, CPU 103
First, the start winning determination process is executed (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, processing for detecting the occurrence of the start winning, storing pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a start winning occurs, a display result (including a big hit type) and a random value for determining a fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, processing may be executed to determine whether the display result or the variation pattern is read ahead. After storing the hold information and the number of held memories, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of start winnings, the number of held memories, and the pre-reading judgment is performed on the effect control board 12 . For example, after the special symbol process process is completed, the effect control command at the start winning combination set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. Is transmitted to

After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special view process flag provided in the RAM 102. In addition, each processing of special symbol process processing (steps S110 to S120
In the), the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

In the special symbol normal processing of step S110, the value of the special processing process flag is "0" (initial value)
Is executed when In this special symbol normal processing, the first based on the presence or absence of pending information, etc.
A determination is made as to whether to start the special view game or the second special view game. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for display result determination, whether the display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit" or "small hit" or "big hit" in the case of "big hit" Are determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal processing, a determined special symbol (one of a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, and a lost symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special figure game is set according to the determined display result. Thereafter, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. In addition, the special view game using the second special view may be executed with priority over the special view game using the first special view (also referred to as special view 2 priority digest). In addition, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special drawing game may be established in the winning order (also referred to as winning order termination).

When various determinations are made based on random number values, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which determination values to be compared with random value are assigned to determination results) are referred to. The same applies to other determinations on the main substrate 11 and various determinations on the effect control substrate 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, the display result is "big hit" or "small hit"
A process of determining the fluctuation pattern to any one of a plurality of types using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern based on the pre-decision result of whether or not to be taken is included. In the fluctuation pattern setting process, when the fluctuation pattern is determined, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “2”, and the fluctuation pattern setting process is ended.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special figure game (special figure variation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol (such as presence or absence of reach), and the variable display of the decorative symbol The content of the effect (type of reach effect, etc.) is designated, and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "2". In this special symbol variation process, a process to make settings for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. Further, it is also determined whether the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol reaches the special figure variation time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process is ended.

The special symbol stopping process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the variation of the special symbol is stopped by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, and the finalized special symbol to be the display result of the special symbol is stop displayed (derived) The process for setting up is included. And the display result is "big hit"
If it is, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special process process flag is "8.
In addition, when the display result is “missing”, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “0”. When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time cut is completed and control is made in the time saving state or the positive change state. When the value of the special drawing process flag is updated, the special symbol stop process ends.

The big hit opening pre-processing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". This big hit opening pre-processing includes, for example, a process to start the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and set the big winning opening to the open state based on the display result becoming "big hit" etc. It is done. When the special winning opening is opened, processing for supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed. At this time, an open upper limit period for setting the big winning opening in an open state, and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set, for example, in accordance with which jackpot type is. When these settings are completed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pre-processing ends.

The big hit open processing of step S115 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is “5”. The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes a process of determining whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6", End the process during the big hit open.

The big hit opening post process of step S116 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round with the big winning opening opened has reached the set upper limit number of times, or when the upper limit number of times reached the big hit gaming state Includes the process of setting for terminating the program. When the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process process flag is "5".
When the number of round executions reaches the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “7”. When the value of the special drawing process flag is updated, the big hit release post-processing ends.

The big hit end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". In this big hit end processing, processing to wait until waiting time corresponding to a period during which ending effect is executed as a rendering operation to notify the end of big hit gaming state, processing corresponding to the end of big hit gaming state It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and short time control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special drawing process flag is “
It is updated to 0 ′ ′, and the big hit end process ends.

The small hit opening pre-processing of step S118 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "8". The small hit opening pre-processing includes, for example, a process for setting the large winning opening in the small hit gaming state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “9”, and the small hit open pre-processing ends.

The small hit open processing in step S119 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "9". In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to return the big winning opening from the open state to the closing state based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening and the measured elapsed time, etc. Processing for determining whether or not it is included is included. When the large winning opening is returned to the closed state and the small hit gaming state end timing comes, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "10", and the small hit open processing is ended.

The small hitting end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special process process flag is "10". The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit gaming state is executed has elapsed. here,
When the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit gaming state has elapsed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end processing is ended.

(Main operation of presentation control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71) to clear the RAM 122 and set various initial values, and to the effect control board 12 Performs register settings etc. of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing an initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for performing predetermined operation confirmation is executed.

Thereafter, it is determined whether the timer interrupt flag is on (step S73).
). The timer interrupt flag is set, for example, to 2 hours based on the register setting of CTC.
It is set to the on state every millisecond). At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly performed and the process waits.

Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt generated each time a predetermined time has elapsed. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt is generated by the effect control INT signal being turned on,
When the CPU 120 for effect control is automatically set to interrupt disable but does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state, it is desirable to issue an interrupt disable command (DI command). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is fetched from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command fetched at this time is stored, for example, in a effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt permission and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Ye
s) The timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In command analysis processing, for example, main substrate 1
After reading out various effect control commands transmitted from the microcomputer 100 for game control and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the setting, control, etc. corresponding to the read effect control commands are executed. It will be. For example, the effect control command read out is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 so that the effect control command can be confirmed and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process or the like.
The reception flag provided in 22 is turned on. In addition, when the effect control command specifies the gaming state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the gaming state.

After the command analysis process is performed in step S75, an effect control process process is performed (step S76). In the effect control process, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation in the decoration light such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decoration LED, the movable body 32 Control to operate various rendering devices is performed, such as driving operation. Further, with regard to the control content of the rendering operation using various rendering devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the rendering control command or the like transmitted from the main substrate 11.

Following the effect control process of step S76, an effect random number updating process is executed (step S77), and at least a portion of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by software. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S73. Before returning to the process of step S73, another process may be performed.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes preread advance notice setting processing (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the presentation control command at the start winning combination transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Moreover, the process for displaying a pending | holding display is performed based on the pending | holding memory number specified from the said production control command.

After executing the processing of step S161, the CPU for effect control 120
Steps S170 to S1 as described below according to the value of the presentation process flag provided in 2
Select and execute one of the 77 processes.

The variable display start waiting process of step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of the decorative symbol in the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command specifying start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11 or the like. And so on. Image display device 5
If it is determined to start variable display of the decorative design in, the value of the rendering process flag
Update to 1 ′ ′ and end variable display start waiting processing.

The variable display start setting process of step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the fluctuation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (decision decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol, reach effect and various The presence or absence of execution of various effects such as advance notice effects and the manner and timing of execution start thereof are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (a set of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute an effect) in which the determination result and the like are reflected is set. Thereafter, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is ended. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative symbol according to the instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative symbol.

The variable display effect process of step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120
By displaying the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S 171 on the display screen of the image display device 5 by instructing the display control unit 123, driving the movable body 32, and the voice control board 13. Speaker 8 L, 8 by the output of the command (sound effect signal) for
During the variable display of the decorative pattern, such as making the game effect lamp 9 or the decorative LED turn on / off / blink by outputting a voice or sound effect from R, and outputting a command (electric decoration signal) to the lamp control board 14 Execute various presentation control. After performing such production control,
For example, in response to the end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol being read out from the effect control pattern, or the command specifying that the decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed from the main substrate 11 is received, The finalized decoration pattern that is the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "3",
The variable display effect processing ends.

The process for waiting for a special figure in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3." In the waiting process for the special view, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the effect control command designating start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command designating start of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state is received, if the command designates the start of the big hit gaming state, the value of the effect process flag is set to “6 Update to On the other hand, if the command designates the start of the small hit gaming state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4" which is a value corresponding to the small hit middle effect processing. In addition, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost" when the reception waiting time of the command elapses without receiving the command designating starting the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state Thus, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value. When the value of the rendering process flag is updated, the special drawing hit waiting process is ended.

The small hitting middle effect process of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is "4". In this small hitting medium effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120,
For example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the effect content in the small hit gaming state is set, and various effect control in the small hit gaming state is executed based on the setting content. Further, in the small hitting medium effect processing, for example, in response to the reception of a command specifying termination of the small hit gaming state from the main substrate 11, the value of the presentation process flag is a value corresponding to the small hit ending effect. is there"
Update to 5 "and end small hitting medium effect processing.

The small hitting end effect process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is "5". In this small hitting end effect processing, CPU 120 for effect control
For example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the small hit gaming state or the like is set, and various effect control at the end of the small hit gaming state based on the setting content is executed. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value, and the small hitting end effect processing is ended.

The jackpot inside effect process of step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In the big hit internal effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the big hit gaming state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit gaming state based on the setting contents. Further, in the big hit inside effect processing, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect processing, for example, in response to the reception of the command specifying the end of the big hit gaming state from the main board 11 Update to 7 ′ ′ and complete the big hit internal rendering process.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect process, the CPU 120 for effect control
For example, an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state is set, and various effect control of ending effect at the end of the big hit gaming state based on the set contents is executed. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is an initial value, and the ending effect processing is ended.

(Description of feature portion 31AK)
Next, the feature portion 31AK of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining types of fluctuation patterns and reach in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. Figure 8 (A
As shown in), in the present embodiment, the variation display mode of the decorative design does not become the reach mode, and the display result is "loss", non-reach losing variation patterns PA1-1, PA1-2, the decorative design The change display mode is the reach mode and the display result is "lost". The change pattern of reach loss such as PA2-1 to PA2-6, PA3-1 to PA3-4, etc., and the display result is "big hit". -1 to PB2-6, PB3-1 to PB3-4 and the like are prepared.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the present embodiment, reach effects such as normal reach and super reach A to E are performed. In this embodiment, the reach effect is also referred to as a suggested effect which suggests that the jackpot state is controlled. As shown in the number of black stars in FIG. 8B, the reliability (big hit reliability) when each reach is executed is: normal reach <super reach E <super reach D <super reach C <super reach B <<The order of Super Reach A is higher. In addition, you may provide the reach which determines becoming a big hit.

In this embodiment, super reach is performed via normal reach. In addition, during the production of the reach of the super reach, there may be a case in which the development presentation is performed to develop (promote) to a more reliable reach. Variation pattern PA3-1 to-1 shown in FIG.
PA3-4 and the like, and variation patterns PB3-1 to PB3-4 and the like are variation patterns corresponding to execution of the development effect. Although FIG. 8 (A) shows a variation pattern in which the degree of reliability evolves to a super reach one stage higher, a variation pattern in which the degree of credibility evolves in two or more stages is also provided. Also, a variation pattern may be provided in which the development effect is performed a plurality of times.

In this embodiment, except for the normal reach with the lowest degree of reliability, the title of the reach is notified at a predetermined timing after the reach is established. Fig. 8 (B)
As shown in, the notification mode of the title differs depending on the type of reach. In particular,
The super reach E with the lowest degree of confidence among the super reach is notified of the title of the reach by display only, and the other super reach is notified of the title by display and audio. As described above, notification of a title is performed by more rendering devices in the case of the highly reliable reach than in the case of the less reliable reach. As a result, the player's sense of expectation can be effectively heard, and the effect of presentation is improved. Note that the notification mode of the title may be arbitrarily changed depending on the reliability or regardless of the reliability. Further, even in the same reach effect, the notification mode may be changed according to the actual display result or the like. Also, the font of the title character (such as gothic and Mincho type) and the typeface (such as a line and a calligraphy) may be made different depending on the type of reach.

The notification of the title of reach (title notification) is not limited to the one indicating the title itself such as the name of the reach, but may indicate the name of the character appearing in the reach effect, the effect contents of the reach effect, and the like.

(Example of production operation of characteristic part 31AK)
Subsequently, an example of the rendering operation in the present embodiment will be described. The following rendering operation is executed by the rendering control CPU 120 executing rendering control process processing based on the rendering control command transmitted from the main substrate 11. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are diagrams showing an example of the production operation of super reach according to the present embodiment. FIG. 9A shows that variable display of decorative symbols is executed in each of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5. . After that, for example, as shown in FIG.
The decoration pattern which shows the number of 7 on "right" stops and becomes a reach aspect. After that, the production branches depending on the type of reach.

(Super reach A)
In the case of becoming the super reach A, as shown in FIG. 9C, the character 31AK001, which is an ally character, is displayed on the image display device 5, and the reach effect is started. here,
For example, an animation or the like using the character 31AK001 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 9D, the entire screen of the image display device 5 is displayed when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the introduction of the super reach effect (also referred to as super reach effect) is ended, for example. Super reach A title 31 AK 002 (here "SP reach A"
Is displayed, and a voice (here, “Super Reach A”) corresponding to the title name of Reach is output from the speaker 8 to notify the title of Super Reach A. Thereafter, the title 31AK002 of Super Reach A is erased, and as shown in FIG. 9E, the character 31AK003, which is an enemy character, is displayed, and the character 31AK is displayed.
A serif 31AK 004 of 001 is displayed, or a subsequent portion of the reach effect of super reach A in which the character 31AK 001 and the character 31AK 003 face each other is executed. The production in which the characters face each other is also referred to as battle production, and it becomes a big hit when the ally character wins in the battle production, and loses when the ally character loses.

In addition, when displaying words on the image display device 5 during super reach production, the speaker 8
The voice corresponding to the speech may be output. Further, the dialogue is not limited to displaying in a balloon as shown in FIG. 9E, and may be displayed in the lower part of the image display device 5 or the like as a subtitle.

(Super reach B)
In the case of becoming the super reach B, as shown in FIG. 9C, the character 31AK001 is displayed on the image display device 5, and the reach effect is started. Here, for example, an animation or the like using the character 31AK001 is displayed. When a predetermined period of time has passed after the start of the super reach effect, such as when the introductory portion of the super reach effect ends, FIG.
As shown in the figure, the super reach B title 31AK005 is displayed on the entire screen of the image display device 5.
(The letter "SP reach B" here) is displayed, and a sound corresponding to the title name of reach (here "super reach B") is output from the speaker 8, so that the title of the super reach B is It is informed. After that, Super Reach B title 31 AK00
5 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 9 (G), the reach effect of Super Reach B in which the character 31AK006 which is the enemy character is displayed, the dialogue 31AK004 of the character 31AK001 is displayed, or the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK006 confront The subsequent part of is executed.

As described above, in the super reach A and the super reach B, the reach title is notified when a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the super reach effect. By doing this, since the title can be notified after showing the introduced part of the super reach effect to the player, it is possible to enhance the effect of the title notification.

In addition, Super Reach A (Fig. 9 (C) → (D) → (E) ...) and Super Reach B (
In FIG. 9 (C) → (F) → (G)..., Super reach effect is executed in a common effect mode in the introductory portion until the title is informed (( Figure 9 (C
)). By doing this, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which super reach is to be achieved after the start of the super reach effect, and which title is to be notified. In Super Reach A and Super Reach B, it is not limited to completely sharing the presentation mode until the title is notified, and it is possible to determine which Super Reach will be achieved by watching the presentation, etc. The parts may be in a common presentation mode. For example, in the introductory part of super reach A and super reach B, super reach production (for example, production which displays an enemy character or suggests an enemy character) is executed in a mode related to a title notified thereafter You may By doing this, the rendering effect is improved,
The player will pay attention to the effect. In this manner, the title notification may be performed after it is possible to specify which super reach is to be made.

(Super reach D)
In the case of Super Reach D, as shown in FIG. 9H, a part of the center of the image display device 5 is the title 31 AK 007 of Super Reach D (here, the letters "SP reach D").
Is displayed, and a sound corresponding to the title name of reach from the speaker 8 (here “
When the enemy is output "), the title of Super Reach D is notified. As described above, in Super Reach D, a title is notified at the start of Super Reach production. Further, under the title 31AK007, an expectation degree indication 31AK008 that indicates the expectation of the reach is displayed. The degree of expectation is represented by the number of black stars, as shown in FIG. 9 (H). Here, the degree of expectation is the degree of expectation to be a big hit, but it does not have to completely match with the big hit reliability of the reach.

In addition, the alerting | reporting by the audio | voice of super reach D is not alert | reporting a title name as it is, but the content of reach is alert | reported. As described above, in this embodiment, the notification mode of the title notification by voice is made different depending on the type of reach. As a result, the notification form of the title notification is diversified, and the interest is improved.

After the title is notified in the super reach D, the character 31AK001 is displayed on the image display device 5, as shown in FIG. At this time, the title 31AK0
The 07 and the expected degree indication 31AK 008 continue to be displayed by being reduced in the upper right portion or the like of the image display device 5. By doing this, the player can grasp the expectation of the reach even during the reach effect. In addition, in FIG.9 (I), although the production | presentation content in common with FIG.9 (C) (super reach A, super reach B) is shown, the super reach production only for super reach D may be performed.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9J, the character 31AK009, which is the enemy character, is displayed, and the speech 31AK004 of the character 31AK001 is displayed, or the character 31 is displayed.
The reach effect of super reach D where AK001 and character 31AK009 confront is executed.

(Super reach E)
In the case of Super Reach E, as shown in FIG. 10A, the title 31AK010 of the Super Reach E (here, the characters “SP reach E”) is displayed on a part of the upper left of the image display device 5 Thus, the title of Super Reach E is informed. In Super Reach E, notification of a title by voice is not performed. Also, in conjunction with the display of the title 31AK010, the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK011 which is the enemy character are displayed, the dialogue 31AK004 of the character 31AK001 is displayed, or the reach effect of Super Reach E where the character 31AK001 and the character 31AK011 confront each other To be executed. As described above, in the Super Reach E, a title is notified along with the progress of the reach production. In Super Reach E, the title 31AK010 continues to be displayed during reach production.

In the reach production of the super reach E having a low hit probability, it is possible to prevent giving an excessive sense of expectation to the player by performing the title notification without stopping the progress of the reach production. On the other hand, in the reach effects of the super reach A, the super reach B, and the super reach D, the progress of the reach effect is stopped and the title notification is performed (FIGS. 9 (D), (F), (
H)). By doing this, it is possible to execute the title notification according to the super reach effect, and the effect of the effect is improved. In addition, even in the case of super reach effects such as super reach A, super reach B, and super reach D, title notification may be performed without stopping the progress of the reach. In addition, contrary to this embodiment, in the reach effect of super reach with a high hit probability, title notification may be performed without stopping the progress of the reach effect. In the super reach reach production with low jackpot reliability, the progress of the reach production may be stopped and the title notification may be performed.

(Title notification timing)
As described above, in this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, a title is notified after a predetermined period has elapsed after the start of Super Reach production, and in Super Reach D and Super Reach E, Super Reach production The title will be announced at the start. By doing this, it is possible to execute the title notification according to the reach effect, and the effect is improved. In this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, which have high jackpot reliability, a title is notified after a predetermined period has elapsed after the start of Super Reach production, and Super Reach D and Super Reach, which have low jackpot reliability, In E, the title was notified at the start of the Super Reach production, but in the case of a reach with high jackpot reliability, the title is notified at the start of Super Reach production, and in the case of a reach with low jackpot reliability The title may be notified after a predetermined period of time has passed after the reach effect.

(Display area of title)
Further, in this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, a title is notified on the entire screen (first area) of the image display device 5, and in Super Reach D and Super Reach E, the image display device 5 is The title is notified in a part (second area) of the screen of. By doing this, it is possible to execute the title notification according to the reach effect, and the effect is improved. In particular, in the case of a reach with a large hit reliability, since title notification is performed in a wider display area than in the case of a reach with a low reliability, effective title notification is possible. Note that the title notification on the entire screen of the image display device 5 may be one in which the title is displayed in a size that fits the screen, or the title is displayed on the entire background as a background for title notification. Things (title notification using the entire screen)
Or the like. Further, the display area for performing title notification may be different between Super Reach A and Super Reach B, and the display area for performing title notification may be different between Super Reach D and Super Reach E.

The method of varying the display area for performing the title notification according to the reach effect is not limited to the example of this embodiment, and the display area for performing the title notification may be optionally changed according to the reach effect. For example, in the case of a reach with a high hit probability, title notification may be performed in a narrower display area than in the case of a reach with a low degree of reliability. Further, in the case where the display area to be notified of the title is made different according to the reach effect, the display area may be made different as in this embodiment, or the place to be displayed may be made different.

(Expected degree indication indication)
In this embodiment, super reach A and super reach B with high hit reliability do not display anticipation indication in the title notification in super reach A and super reach D with lower hit reliability than super reach A and super reach B. In the title notification in, the expectation indication was displayed. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the effects from being disturbed. In addition, in the title notification in Super Reach E whose jackpot reliability is lower than Super Reach D, the expectation indication is not displayed. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the player from losing a sense of expectation by displaying the expectation indication indicating that the reliability is low in the low reliability reach. Super reach A, super reach B
, And an indication indicating the degree of expectation may be displayed in at least a part of the super reach E.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9H and the like, the indication of the degree of expectation is not limited to the one indicated by the number of black stars, but may indicate the degree of expectation with a meter or gauge, or correspond to the degree of expectation You may make it display the numerical value. Further, as shown in FIG. 9H and the like, in the case of showing by the number of black stars, the number of stages of expectation may be increased by enabling display of a half equivalent (half) of black stars.

(Title display end timing)
Further, in this embodiment, in Super Reach A and Super Reach B, after the title is displayed, the title is erased and the super reach presentation is executed. Thereby, in the super reach A and the super reach B, attention can be paid to reach production. In addition, in Super Reach D and Super Reach E, after the title is displayed, the title continues to be displayed until a determined effect described later is executed. Thereby, in the super reach D and the super reach E, the type of reach can be grasped even during the super reach presentation. Moreover, by performing as described above, it is possible to execute the title notification according to the reach effect, and the effect of the effect is improved. It should be noted that the display end timing of the title may be arbitrarily changed since it is possible to improve the rendering effect regardless of the display end timing.

In addition, although it is abbreviate | omitted about the production | presentation operation | movement of the reach production of the super reach C here, the title alert | report according to big hit reliability and an expectation degree suggestion display may be performed, for example.

(Decided production)
After each reach effect is performed, when it is time to derive the display result (end of the variable display), a determined effect for notifying whether the display result is “big hit” is performed. For the determined effect, the determined effect indicating that the display result is a "big hit" and the display result for "missing"
The decision effect which shows that it becomes and is included. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10B, the determined effect that the image 31AK012 is displayed on the image display device 5 is executed. Thereafter, if the display result is "big hit", as shown in FIG. 10C, an image 31AK013 indicating that the allied character has won is displayed, and as shown in FIG. The finalized design is derived. In addition, if a display result is "loss", the image which shows that the ally character loses is displayed, and the finalized decoration pattern used as a reach loss combination is derived | led-out.

In this embodiment, even when the title is continuously notified even during the reach effect, the notification of the title is ended before the determined effect is executed. As a result, it is possible to make attention to the determined effect, and it is possible to execute a clear title notification.

In the effect operation example shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, during the reach effect of super reach, the decorative symbol is reduced at the lower right portion of the image display device 5 to perform variable display, but in the reach effect How to make the display of the decoration pattern of is optional. For example, the decorative design may not be displayed during the reach effect, or the display mode (size, position, shading, number, etc.) may be varied depending on the type of reach effect.

In addition, when displaying a character that is permanently displayed during hold display, active display, variable display or display related to cell-phone interlocking on the image display device 5, the display is appropriately hidden in order to draw attention to the reach effect during the reach effect of the super reach. It may be At that time, during low-reliability reach effects such as Super Reach E, these displays may be kept displayed. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from being excessively expected by the reach effect with low reliability, and to be able to pay attention to the reach effect in the highly reliable reach effect.

(Development production)
Subsequently, an example of the rendering operation when the development rendering is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 11A, when the development effect is performed when the reach effect of the super reach D is being performed (the title notification of the super reach D is being performed), as shown in FIG. 11B. As shown, an effect such that the reach effect is interrupted and the screen is torn is performed. After that, when developing into Super Reach A, as shown in FIG. 11C, the title of Super Reach A is notified, and the reach effect of Super Reach A is executed. In the case of developing into Super Reach B, as shown in FIG. 11D, the title of Super Reach B is notified, and the reach effect of Super Reach is executed. As described above, when the development effect is executed, the title notification of the development source is switched to the title notification of the development destination, so that it can be easily understood which reach has been developed. As shown in FIG. 11, when the reach of the development destination is the reach for performing title notification by display and sound, title notification by display and sound is executed again.

Note that the development effect is not limited to the example as shown in FIG. 11 (B), but may be an effect in which a crack is gradually broken on the screen, or a sandstorm (display as if it is broken) is displayed. You may do so. With such an effect, unexpected effects can be performed. In addition, there may be a development effect of Gasse, such as an effect in which a reach is not developed, although a crack gradually enters the screen.

(Expected degree suggestive production)
In the example of the rendering operation shown in FIG. 9 (H), a black star indicating the expected degree is displayed from the beginning that the expected degree indication 31AK008 indicates the expected degree, but five white stars are displayed at first, It may be made to execute an expectation degree suggestion effect which suggests an expectation degree by becoming a black star.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, when notifying the title of Super Reach D, an expectation indication 31AK021 of five white stars is first displayed. And FIG. 12 (B).
As shown in FIG. 12, a black star 31AK022 larger than the star of the expectation degree indication 31AK021 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 12C, the black star 31AK022 moves and the expectation degree indication 3
A rendering is performed that fits within one of the white stars of 1AK021. At this time, an audio "pin" indicating that the black star indicating the degree of expectation has increased is output from the speaker 8. Figure 12 (
As shown in D) and (E), the same effect is repeated the number of times corresponding to the degree of expectation of reach. At this time, the sound (volume, scale, and so on) outputted from the speaker 8 every repetition (every number of stars).
Sound quality etc. may be changed stepwise. When the number of black stars corresponding to the degree of expectation is settled in the degree of expectation indication 31AK021, as shown in FIG. 12F, the black star is highlighted as if it were illuminated. By doing this, it becomes easy to understand that the expectation degree suggestion effect is finished.

In the example shown in FIGS. 12 (A) to 12 (F), black stars are displayed one by one, and the degree of expectation indicated by the expectation indication indicates one step at a time, but two or more black stars The degree of expectation may be raised by two or more steps. In addition, half black stars may be displayed to increase the expectation by half. In this case, different sounds may be output or the same sound may be output depending on the number of stars to be displayed (the number of steps of rising expectation). For example, the same sound may be output when half a black star is displayed and when one black star is displayed. The same sound may be output when two and a half black stars are displayed and when three black stars are displayed. Also, there may be a case where the voice is not output. By doing this, the expectation degree suggestive effect is diversified, and the effect of the effect is improved. The same black star image is displayed regardless of the number of stages of expectation increasing at one time, and the number of black stars increases according to the number of stages of expectation increasing as it is displayed on the white star indicating the expectation degree indication. You may make it perform such an effect.

(Demonstration mode)
There may be a plurality of effect modes in the effect device such as the image display device 5, the speaker 8, and the game effect lamp 9. In the different rendering mode, even when the same command (for example, a command specifying a variation pattern) is transmitted from the main substrate 11, the rendering based on the command is executed in a different rendering mode. In each effect mode, the background, the character, the motif, the sound outputted from the speaker 8 and the like displayed on the image display device 5 may be different. The effect mode may be automatically changed according to the number of times of variable display or the game state, or may be changeable by the operation of the player.

FIGS. 12G to 12L are example rendering operation examples of the title notification and the expectation degree suggestion rendering in the special mode when the normal mode and the special mode are provided as the rendering mode. In the normal mode, title notification and expectation degree suggestion effects are performed as shown in FIGS. In the special mode, the reach effect based on the variation pattern of the super reach D is the reach effect of the super reach D2 different in the effect mode from the reach effect of the super reach D. Therefore, when the variation pattern of super reach D is specified, as shown in FIG.
As shown in), the title 31AK023 of Super Reach D2 is displayed. At this time, a voice corresponding to the title name of reach is output from the speaker 8, but a voice different from the normal mode (for example, a voice having a different voice color) is output. Moreover, the expectation degree indication 31AK024 in the super reach D2 is not a star but a rhombus.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12 (H), black rhombus 31AK025 larger than the star of expectation indication 31AK024 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 12 (I), black rhombus 31AK025
An effect is performed such that the movement moves to fit into one of the white rhombuses of the expectation indication 31AK024. At this time, the speaker 8 outputs a voice "pong" indicating that the black rhombus indicating the degree of expectation has increased. As shown in FIGS. 12 (J) and (K), the same effect is repeated the number of times corresponding to the degree of expectation of reach. When the number of black rhombuses corresponding to the degree of expectation is settled in the expectation degree indication display 31AK024, as shown in FIG. 12 (L), the black rhombus is highlighted as if illuminated. Thus, depending on the effect mode (the state when the reach effect is executed) determined according to the player's selection, the game state, etc., the effect is diversified by changing the notification mode of the title, and the effect is achieved. improves.

Although FIG. 12 shows an example of the rendering operation when the variation pattern of the super reach D is designated, another reach rendering (title notification, expectation degree suggestion rendering) is performed depending on the rendering mode (state when the reach rendering is performed) May be made different. Depending on the effect mode (the state when the reach effect is executed), whether or not the reach title is to be notified or the execution ratio of the title notification may be made different. For example, when a predetermined effect mode is selected, the reach title may not be notified. By doing this, effects according to the player's preferences can be performed, and the effects of the effects can be improved.

In this embodiment, the expectation degree is indicated by the number of black stars in the expectation degree indication display, and the expectation degree suggestion effect of increasing the number of black stars in a stepwise manner is executed It is also possible to execute an expectation indication effect of decreasing the number of indications suggesting a. Such an expected degree suggestive effect may be performed in addition to or in place of the expected degree suggestive effect of this embodiment.

(Other examples of developmental direction)
In the case of executing an expectation degree indication effect of increasing the display degree indicating the expectation degree of the expectation degree indication display step by step, the development effect may be performed after the display indicating the expectation degree is increased.
In this case, when the display indicating the degree of expectation is increased after the development effect, the display to be increased may be displayed not in stages but at one time. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), after the title of Super Reach D is notified and the effect of gradually increasing the black stars is completed, as shown in FIG. 13 (B), a button is displayed on the image display device 5 The development effect for displaying the image 31AK031 is executed. Here, when the operation to the push button 31B is detected, as shown in FIG. 13C, the title 31AK032 of Super Reach C (here,
By displaying the letter SP reach C, the title of the super reach C is notified. As described above, when the development effect is executed, the title notification of the development source is switched to the title notification of the development destination, so that it can be easily understood which reach has been developed. Further, under the title 31AK032, an expectation degree indication 31AK033 in which the number of black stars is three is highlighted. Even if the number of black stars increases by two or more, it is displayed at one time. In addition, after the movable body 32 operates, a development effect may be performed in which the title and the indication indicating the degree of expectation change.

(Notice production)
In this embodiment, as the notice effect, a title notice for giving notice of the jackpot reliability is executed according to a notification mode of the title (for example, the display color of the title, etc.). For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, while the title 31AK036 of Super Reach A is displayed in black and the voice corresponding to the title name of Reach is output from the speaker 8, the title of Super Reach A is notified. After being processed, the title 31 is displayed as shown in FIG.
A title notice in which the display color of AK036 changes to red is performed. As described above, the title is displayed in black when the title preview is not executed, and the title is displayed in a color other than black when the title preview is executed. In the title preview shown in FIG.
After the reach title is notified by voice, the display mode (display color) of the title may change. By doing this, it is possible to enhance the staging effect of the preliminary presentation. Note that the timing at which the title is displayed other than black is not limited to this, and the title may be displayed other than black from the start of display of the title.

Also, in the case where a preview of the title in which the display mode (display color) of the title changes is executed,
After the display mode of the title changes, sound may be output according to the display mode after the change. By doing this, it is possible to enhance the staging effect of the preliminary presentation. Further, the title notification by audio may be performed after the display mode (display color) of the title changes. In this case, sound may be output according to the display mode (display color) of the title after change.

(Title execution timing)
It is preferable to execute notification of a title during reach at a timing other than the execution timing of a presentation (specific presentation) such as a preliminary presentation production or a development presentation in which the degree of expectation controlled to the jackpot advantageous state is improved. By doing this, when the title is notified once, an effect of improving the expectation can be executed, so that the player's sense of expectation can be maintained.

FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing an example of the advance presentation effect determination process for determining the presence or absence of the execution of the advance presentation effect and the presentation mode. The preview control effect determination process is executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the variable display start setting process of step S171 in FIG. In the advance presentation effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern identified from the command transmitted from the main substrate 11 is a fluctuation pattern of super reach (step 31AKS001)
).

If it is a variation pattern of super reach (step 31 AKS 001; Yes)
, The display color of the title of the super reach (presence or absence of execution of the title preview) is determined (step 31AKS002).

In step 31AKS002, depending on whether the display result is "big hit" or "loss", the display color of the super reach title is determined, for example, at the determination ratio shown in FIG. The display color of the Super Reach title is “Black”, “Black”, as shown in FIG.
Those that change from "red", "black" to "red", those that change from "black" to "fruit pattern", "
What changes from "red" to "fruit pattern" is provided, and the big hit reliability is high in this order (ascending order). That is, the big hit reliability differs according to the change timing of the display color of the title. By doing this, the player pays attention to the change timing of the display color of the title, and the rendering effect is improved.

In the "fruit pattern", the characters of the title may be displayed in bold and the characters themselves may be "fruit pattern", or the background portion of the display area of the title may be "fruit pattern" . There may be a pattern displayed as "fruit pattern" from the beginning. As for the display color changing, as shown in FIG. 14, the display color may change after the title notification is performed. There may be a plurality of timings at which the display color changes with respect to the one in which the display color changes. Then, the big hit reliability may be made different according to the timing at which the display color changes. Further, since the display period of the title varies depending on the type of super reach, the timing at which the display color changes may vary depending on the type of super reach. In the case of a super reach (for example, super reach D or super reach E) in which the display period of the title is long, a plurality of changing timings may be provided to determine one of the changing timings. Then, in the case of a super reach (for example, super reach A or super reach B) in which the display period of the title is short, the number of changing timing may be one or less than the super reach in which the display period of the title is long.

When there are a normal mode and a special mode as effect modes, in the normal mode, as shown in FIG.
In the special mode, the display color of the title is determined at a rate different from that of the normal mode as shown in FIG. 16 (B). In the special mode, the display color pattern and the order of reliability may be different from that in the normal mode. As described above, by making the execution mode (display color and change timing of the display color) of the preview of the title different depending on the effect mode, the effect is diversified and the effect is improved.

In this embodiment, a serif notice for giving notice of the jackpot reliability is executed as the notice effect according to the display mode (for example, the display color of the line) of the character's serif in the reach effect of the super reach.

After determining the display color of the Super Reach title, determine the display color of the character's serif in the reach effect of the Super Reach (presence or absence of execution of the serif announcement) (step 3)
1AKS003).

In step 31AKS003, depending on whether the display result is a "big hit" or a "loss", the display color of the speech in the reach effect is determined, for example, at the determination ratio shown in FIG. 16C. As shown in FIG. 16C, the display color of the speech in the reach production is “white”, “white”
What changes from "red" and "white" to "red" is provided, and the jackpot reliability is high in this order (ascending order). That is, the big hit reliability differs according to the change timing of the display color of the speech. By doing this, the player pays attention to the change timing of the display color of the speech, and the rendering effect is improved. It should be noted that, for those whose display color changes, the display color may change after the words are displayed. There may be a plurality of timings at which the display color changes with respect to the one in which the display color changes. Then, the big hit reliability may be made different according to the timing at which the display color changes.

In addition, the jackpot reliability may be made different depending on the combination of the presentation style of the title preview and the speech preview. For example, when the same presentation mode (display color) is included in the title preview and the speech preview, the big hit reliability may be increased when the same presentation mode is obtained.
Also, the big hit reliability may be made different depending on the combination of the change timing of the presentation mode with the title preview and the speech preview. For example, when the change timing is the same, the big hit reliability may be higher than when the change timing is different, or the big hit reliability may be different depending on which change comes first. By doing this, it is possible to pay attention to the change timings of the title preview and the speech preview.

When the effect mode includes the normal mode and the special mode, in the special mode, the display color of the speech may be determined at a rate different from that of the normal mode. In the special mode, the display color pattern and the order of reliability may be different from that in the normal mode.

It should be noted that in place of the speech notice, a notice effect may be executed to give notice of the jackpot reliability by changing the effect mode of the reach effect. In that case, in the advance notice effect, a plurality of change timings of the effect mode may be provided, and the big hit reliability may be different according to the change timing.

After determining the display color of the speech in the reach effect or when it is determined not to be the variation pattern of the super reach (step AK31 S001; No), the presence or absence and the presentation mode of other advance effects are determined (step AK31 S004). After that, 31AKS002-3
1) The determination result in 1AKS 004 is stored in a predetermined area of RAM 122 (step AK31
S005), the preliminary announcement effect determination process ends.

In this embodiment, in the case of the super reach, it is possible to execute the title preview and the speech preview, but in the case of a specific super reach (for example, other than the low reliability super reach), the title preview. And at least one of the serif announcement may be made executable. In addition, although the title preview and the speech preview have been described as being determined by the determination ratio shown in FIG. 16, the determination ratio is arbitrary, and may be changed according to, for example, the type of super reach. By doing this, it is possible to execute the notice effect according to the type of reach, and the effect is improved.

In this embodiment, the number of effect modes that can be executed (the number of display colors that can be displayed) is different between the title preview and the speech preview. By doing this, the effects are diversified and the effect is enhanced. In the title preview and the speech preview, the number of playable presentation modes may be arbitrarily changed, and the number and type of playable production modes may be the same. By doing this, it is possible to execute a notice effect with a sense of unity, and it becomes easier for the player to grasp the jackpot reliability.

(Effect production)
When the presentation mode of the title preview and the speech preview changes, a presentation may be performed that indicates that the presentation mode changes. For example, an action effect image may be displayed on the image display device 5, and an action effect in which the image acts on at least one of a title and a speech may be performed. Then, after the effect presentation is performed, the presentation mode (display color) of the title or speech may be changed. The effect mode (effect effect image etc.) of the action effect may be common to any of the title and the words. Note that there may be cases where the presentation mode of the title or speech does not change despite the action presentation being performed. In the case of executing the effect presentation, the presence / absence of the execution of the operation presentation, the execution timing, and the presentation mode may be determined based on the determination result of the title preview and the speech preview. Such determination may be performed in the process of step AK31 S004. For example, the ratio at which at least one of the presentation mode of the title preview and the speech preview changes (the rate at which the presentation mode changes due to the function presentation) may be different according to the presentation mode of the action presentation, The ratio (the ratio of acting on which effect mode) of the serif announcement and which presentation mode changes may be different, or the ratio of what color (in which stage) changes may be different. . By executing such an operation effect, the player will eventually display an operation effect image.
It will focus on which of the title and words to act on, and the stage effect will be improved. In addition, when there are a plurality of effect modes, the presence / absence of effect effects and effect modes may be determined at different rates according to the effect modes. By doing this, it is possible to execute the action presentation according to the presentation mode, and the presentation effect is improved.

As another example of such effect presentation, at least one of the presentation aspect (display color) of either the title or the speech according to the presentation content of the reach presentation (for example, the action of the character, the presentation content in the battle presentation, etc.) May change. By doing this,
The player pays attention to the contents of the reach effect.

The present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in the feature portion 31AK, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, all the characteristic parts described in the above embodiment are not essential components, and can be appropriately omitted.

(Sub liquid crystal)
As a sub display device different from the image display device 5, a sub liquid crystal may be provided on the game board 2 or the gaming machine frame 3. Although the term “sub-liquid crystal” is used here, the sub-display device
Or a dot matrix LED. The sub liquid crystal device may be fixed, for example, in the vicinity of the image display device 5, or may be movable or retractable. In the sub-liquid crystal, various effects such as display of preliminary effects and hold display are executed. For example, title notification may be performed in the sub liquid crystal. As in the super reach D and the super reach E of the above embodiment, when the title is continuously displayed even after the title notification, the title or expectation indication may be displayed on the sub liquid crystal.
In this case, after notifying the title in the image display device 5, the sub liquid crystal may display the title and the indication of the degree of expectation. By doing this, the image display device 5
The title and expectation indication can also be displayed without disturbing the super reach production in and the title and expectation indication can be easily understood.

Although the above-mentioned embodiment explained the example to which the present invention was applied about the notice of the title of reach production as a suggestion production, the title notice about other production (notice which displays a character mainly)
The present invention may be applied to For example, in the case of executing pre-reading zone effect in which the background image in the image display device 5 is shifted to a plurality of zones (stage, effect mode, etc.) different as the pre-notice effect, for example, The present invention may be applied to the title notification of When presenting a mission (“Let's reach with 7”, “Eliminate an enemy using a stick controller, etc.”), and execute a mission effect that will be in the player's favor when the mission is achieved. The present invention may be applied to the title notification of a mission.

(Modified Example 1 of Feature 31AK)
In the above embodiment, when it is time to derive the display result, the display result is "big hit"
The decision effect for notifying whether or not to be performed is executed, and thereafter, the display result is shown (FIGS. 10B to 10D). In place of such a determined effect, the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is reached at a predetermined timing before the display result is derived.
An operation effect for prompting the user to perform the operation is executed, and if a predetermined operation is detected in the operation valid period, the outcome of the battle effect is displayed or the display result is temporarily stopped, etc., so that the display result is shown. Good. By doing this, since the display result is indicated according to the operation of the player, it is possible to increase the player's willingness to participate in the game, and the interest is improved.

FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are diagrams showing an example of the production operation of the super reach in the modification in which the operation effect is executed and the display result is shown according to the operation. As shown in FIG. 17 (A), after reaching the reach mode in the image display device 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 17 (B), the character 31AK041 which is a friend character and the character 31AK042 which is an enemy character are displayed. As shown in FIGS. 17 (C) to 17 (F) and FIGS. 18 (G) to 18 (I), the character 31A is displayed.
A reach effect in which K041 and the character 31AK042 face each other is executed.

Along with the reach effect, as shown in FIG. 17C, the small button image 31AK043 and the restriction line 31AK044 superimposed on the small button image 31AK043 are displayed at the lower right of the image display device 5. Thus, although the operation effect using the push button 31B is executed, it is suggested that the reception of the operation is currently restricted.

In this modification, a plurality of types of operation effect images indicating that operation effects are to be executed are prepared. And big hit reliability differs according to which operation production image is displayed and operation production is performed. In addition, an image indicating that the operation effect is performed during the reach effect may be changed to a more reliable aspect.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17D, a praying character 31AK045 is displayed, as shown in FIG.
As shown in 7 (E), the character 31AK046 to which the praying character 31AK045 is pleased
And the small button image 31AK043 changes to the large button image 31AK047.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18H, the cannon 31AK048 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 18I, the effect 31AK049 in which the bullet is fired from the cannon 31AK048 is displayed, and the bullet hits the large button image 31AK047. The effect 31AK050 is displayed. Then, the large button image 31AK047 changes to the stick image 31AK051.

As described above, in this modification, an operation effect indicating that the operation effect image changes when the operation effect image changes is executed. Note that the operation effect image may change without the action effect. In addition, there may be a case where the operation effect image does not change even though the operation effect is performed. The rate at which the operation effect image changes may be different depending on the type of action effect.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18 (J), the restriction line 31 is obtained a predetermined time before the display result is derived.
AK044 is erased, and as shown in FIG. 18K, the stick image 31AK051 is enlarged and displayed at the center, and a display prompting an operation of pulling the stick controller 31A is displayed. At this time, the operation to the stick controller 31A is an effective operation valid period.

Here, when an operation to pull the stick controller 31A is detected, as shown in FIG. 18 (L), an image 31AK052 indicating that the teammate character has won is displayed. after that,
At the end of the fluctuation time, as shown in FIG. 18M, a finalized decorative symbol that is a big hit combination is derived. When an operation is not detected within a predetermined operation valid period, an image shown in FIG. 18L is automatically displayed.

In this modification, there are a small button image, a large button image, and a stick image as the operation effect image, and the operation effect using these images is executed in the order of small button image <large button image <stick image The jackpot confidence is high. Even when the operation effect image with a low degree of reliability is displayed, the operation effect image with a high degree of reliability may be changed during the reach effect, so the effect of presentation is improved, and the player's expectation is improved. Can be maintained.

In addition, in the rendering operation example shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the notification of the reach title and the indication of the degree of expectation are omitted, but in parallel with the reach rendering and the operation rendering shown in FIG. It may be performed. The determination relating to the operation effect or the operation effect image (presence or absence of the operation effect, the operation effect image to be displayed, the presence or absence of the action effect, etc.) may be executed in step 31AKS 004 of FIG.

(Modified Example 2 of Feature 31AK)
A suggestion display may be made to indicate the degree of expectation of control to an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state. For example, the shutter effect that performs the first indication display and the reach title effect that performs the second indication display may be performed. In the shutter effect, after the start of variable display, an effect of covering the screen with shutter display is performed. Further, in the reach title effect, an effect of displaying a reach title indicating the development destination of the reach effect after the reach is executed. When displaying either the shutter display or the reach title display, a specific image may be included and displayed. The reach title effect may be the same as the title preview of the above embodiment, or may be another effect determined in another process.

The specific image is an image of high hit reliability that is displayed including a plurality of types of elements in the image. As a plurality of types of elements, a banana image of element E1, a melon image of element E2,
An apple image of element E3, a watermelon image of element E4, and a strawberry image of element E5 are included. The fruit pattern image configured to include these elements E1 to E5 is a specific image. In any of the shutter display and the reach title display, all of the elements E1 to E5 are displayed so as to be visible. The display sizes of the elements E1 to E5 constituting the specific image are changed and displayed according to the difference in display size between the shutter display and the reach title display. Also,
All of the elements E1 to E5 are displayed so as to fit in each of the shutter display and the reach title display.

When the shutter effect is executed after the start of variable display, when the fruit pattern image is displayed, the big hit reliability is higher than when the fruit pattern image is not displayed. In addition, when displaying a reach title when displaying a fruit pattern image during reach effect execution,
Big hit reliability is higher than when not displayed in the fruit pattern image. When the fruit pattern is not displayed, for example, a plain image not including each of the elements E1 to E5 is displayed. Note that
A pattern of an image other than the fruit pattern image may be prepared as an image showing the jackpot reliability when the shutter effect and the reach title effect are performed. For example, white images <blue images <red images <fruit pattern images may be prepared in the order of the jackpot reliability (for example, a red shutter, a reach title of red characters, etc.). Then, depending on whether or not the display result of the variable display is a big hit, any one image pattern may be selected by a predetermined random number lottery.

When performing a shutter display and a reach title display, even when a fruit pattern is displayed, notification that the speaker 8 outputs a common sound (melody) and notification by light emission of the game effect lamp 9 are performed. The light emission control of the common sound and the game effect lamp 9 indicates to the player that the fruit pattern is a special image. In performing such shutter display and reach title display, common notification on the fruit pattern is executed.
In the reach title display, a specific sound (voice) is further output after the common notification. The output period of the common sound and the specific sound may partially overlap.

FIG. 19 is a display screen diagram when the shutter effect and the reach title effect are performed. As shown in FIG. 19A, when the shutter effect is executed, the shutter image 31AK061 is displayed at the start of the variable display in the image display device 5. In the shutter image 31AK061, an image of a fruit pattern including all of the elements E1 to E5 is displayed. Also,
At the time of the shutter effect execution, the notification to output the common sound (melody) by the speaker 8 is executed and the notification by the light emission of the game effect lamp 9 is executed. When the shutter that has been closed is opened, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), variable display of the decorative pattern is started. The downward arrow indicates the variable display of the left, middle and right symbols. When the variable display of the left symbol and the right symbol is temporarily stopped, as shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 19 (d), the super reach effect is started. For example, the variable display is displayed small at the upper right of the screen and the character is displayed on the left side of the screen. At the lower right of the screen, a reach title image 31AK062 is displayed, and the contents of super reach to be executed from now on are displayed as reach title display. Reach title image 31AK062, element E
An image of a fruit pattern including all of 1 to E5 is displayed. In addition, reach title image 31AK
In 062, characters of "battle reach" indicating that reach effect with battle effect is performed are displayed.

Further, at the time of the reach title effect execution, the notification to output the common sound (melody) by the speaker 8 is executed and the notification by the emission of the game effect lamp 9 is executed. further,
After the common sound is output, an effect of emitting a specific sound (voice) indicating that the character has a high hit probability, such as “Tsui Tsui”, is executed. Here, in the reach title effect, the size of the indication to be displayed is smaller than that of the shutter effect. However, as described above, in the reach title effect, the player can easily recognize that the fruit pattern image is displayed by outputting the specific sound. Although the case where the output period is completely divided has been described for the common sound and the specific sound, the output periods may partially overlap.

Thereafter, a battle reach effect as shown in FIG. 19 (e) is executed. An enemy character is displayed on the left of the screen, and an ally character is displayed on the right of the screen. When the ally character wins the battle with the enemy character, the word "battle won!" Is displayed on the upper left of the screen. It is informed that the big hit was decided by having won the battle. When the battle effect is over, it returns to the variable display screen by the original number symbol. As shown in FIG. 19 (f), all the symbols are stopped,
The jackpot symbol of "777" is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 19A and 19D, the shutter image 31AK061 and the reach title image 31AK062 are displayed including all the elements E1 to E5 constituting the fruit pattern image. In this way, shutter images 31AK06 with different display sizes
A fruit pattern image can be suitably displayed in any of 1 and the reach title image 31AK062. This makes it possible to accurately convey that a fruit pattern image with a high hit probability has been displayed.

Also, the display size of the shutter image 31AK061 shown in FIG.
Is displayed larger than the display size of the reach title image 31AK062 shown in FIG. Therefore, the difference between the display size of the shutter image 31AK061 and the display size of the reach title image 31AK062 can be noticed.

The shutter image 31AK061 shown in FIG. 19A and the reach title image 31AK062 shown in FIG. 19D are displayed at different timings. In this way, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the fruit pattern image which is the specific image from being obscured by overlapping execution timings.

The determination (the presence or absence of the shutter effect and the effect mode) relating to the shutter effect may be performed in step 31AKS 004 of FIG. In that case, step 31AKS00 of FIG.
The determination related to the shutter effect may be performed based on the determination result of the display color of the title in 2. For example, when it is determined that the display color of the title is a fruit pattern, the shutter effect of the fruit pattern may be easily performed. Also, the determination of the reach title effect is combined with the determination of the shutter effect, and step 31 AKS 004 in FIG.
It may be executed at the same time.

(Description about feature 37SH)
Next, the feature part 37SH of the present embodiment will be described. 20-1 shows the feature 37S.
FIG. 2 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 including H. Pachinko gaming machine 1 as shown in FIG.
Is equipped with the effect character lamp 37SH09, and in FIG. 1, the effect character lamp 37SH09
Illustration of is omitted. The effect character lamp 37SH09 includes a left lamp 37SH09L and a right lamp 37SH09R. The left lamp 37SH09L is a lamp formed with the character of "super", and the right lamp 37SH09R is a lamp formed with the character of "heat".

The effect character lamp 37SH09 provides an effect that part or all of the effect character lamp 37SH09 is turned on or off or blinks according to the progress of the effect. As a display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09, a display state in which the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R are extinguished, and the left lamp 37S
H09L turns off and the right lamp 37SH09R lights up, and the left lamp 37SH09
There is a display state in which the L and right lamp 37SH09R are lit.

In addition, in the display state in which the left lamp 37SH09L is turned off and the right lamp 37SH09R is turned on, and the display state in which the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R are turned on, the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R are lit the same color as blue or red It becomes. The display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09 may be another display state, for example, only the left lamp 37SH09L may be lit, or the colors of the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R may be different. Also, the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R may be flashed instead of being lit.

In addition, below the image display device 5 in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a display area 37SH5H
In the display area 37SH5H, a first hold display area 37SH5Ha, a second hold display area 37SH5Hb, and an active display area 37SH5c are provided. Among them, the first hold display area 37SH5Ha is provided on the left side of the display area 37SH5H, the second hold display area 37SH5Hb is provided on the right side of the display area 37SH5H, and the active display area 37SH5c is a first hold display area 37SH5Ha It is provided between the two hold display areas 37SH5Hb.

In the first hold display area 37SH5Ha, a hold display symbol 37SH5Z corresponding to variable display corresponding to the first special view game is displayed, and in the second hold display area 37SH5Hb, variable display corresponding to the second special view game The corresponding hold display symbol 37SH5Z is displayed. Further, in the active display area 37SH5c, the active display symbol 37SH5Z corresponding to the variable display currently being executed is displayed. Do.

The active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA is displayed when the decorative symbol is variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, and is normally displayed in a predetermined color, for example, black. Also, the first hold display area 37SH5Ha or the second hold display area 37SH5Hb
The hold display symbol 37SH5Z displayed on the is also displayed, for example, in black.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, an active notice, a serif notice, and a cut-in notice may be executed as a notice effect during the special figure game. In addition, there is a case where a notice effect is further executed in which the display mode of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is further changed after the active notice is executed. The notice effect in which the display mode of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes after the active notice is executed is referred to as "active change".

Among the notice effects, the active notice is a notice of an effect mode in which the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes. The active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is normally black, but when the active notice is executed, the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes. As an effect mode of active advance notice, there are an effect mode in which the active reserved symbol 37SH5ZA becomes blue and an effect mode in which it becomes red.

A serif notice is a notice of an effect mode in which a serif of a character is surrounded by a balloon and displayed as a character. As a presentation mode of the announcement of the speech, a speech balloon (hereinafter referred to as “
There are a presentation mode in which the color of the words image is “blue” and a presentation mode in which the color is “red”. Note that
In the speech preview, not the color of the balloon in the speech image but other elements used in the speech preview may be used. For example, the color of the text may be blue or red, or the color of the text may be blue or red without the balloon being displayed. The cut-in notice is an effect of an effect mode in which a cut-in image in which the character is included in the cut-in background is displayed on the image display device 5. As an effect mode of the cut-in notice, there are an effect mode in which the color of the cut-in background (the color of the cut-in image) is blue and an effect mode in which the color of the cut-in background is red. In the cut-in notice, not the color of the cut-in background but another element used in the cut-in notice may be used.
For example, the color of the hair or clothes of the character, the color of a character indicating a word emitted by the character, or the like may be blue or red. The active change is an effect of an effect mode in which the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes after the active advance notice is performed. As patterns of active change, there are a pattern in which the color of the active reserved symbol 37SH5ZA changes from "blue" to "red" and a pattern in which "red" to "blue" changes.

When a serif announcement is performed, the color of the serif image may be blue or red, but the color of the serif image may be another color, for example, black. In addition, when the cut-in notification is executed, the color of the cut-in image is blue or red, but the color of the cut-in image may be another color, for example, black. Black is the color of the active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA when the active advance notice is not executed, and if the color of the serif image or the color of the cut-in picture turns black at the serif advance notice or cut-in advance notice, the so-called serif advance notice or cut-in advance notice Means that no color change is performed while

The active notice, the serif notice, the cut-in notice, and the active change are executed in this order in one variable display. Therefore, when all the preview effects are executed, the serif alert is executed after the active alert is executed, and then the cut-in alert is executed and finally the active change is executed. In addition, the serif announcement is executed at timing A in one special figure game, the cut-in announcement is executed at timing B, and the active change is executed at timing C. The timing A, the timing B, and the timing C will be further described later.

The active advance notice is executed from the time when the variable display is started (at the time of the change start) in one special drawing game. The active advance notice may be executed in the middle of the variable display in one special drawing game, or may be continued from the previous special drawing game. Good. The display mode of the hold display symbol 37SH5Z displayed in the first hold display area 37SH5Ha or the second hold display area 37SH5Hb in the special drawing game before the previous time when the active notice is continuously executed from the previous special drawing game. Changes. The speech preview, the cut-in preview, and the active change are all performed after the reach in the middle of the variable display is established. It should be noted that the active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA in the active notice, the speech image in the serif notice, and the cut-in image in the cut-in notice may be collectively referred to as a "big hit expectation factor".

These preview effects may be performed in other timings or sequences. For example, the cut-in notice may be performed before the serif notice, or the serif notice or the cut-in notice may be performed before the reach is established. Also,
Two or more of these preliminary effects may be performed at the same time.

In addition, when there are two or more preview effects of active notice, serif notice, and cut-in notice, if there is a big hit expectation factor indicating the same color, those big hit expectation factor is blue Big hit expectations are higher than being red. Thus, when the big hit expectation factor is executed alone, red is greater in big hit than blue, but when big hit expectation factor is the same color, blue is better than red. There is a so-called reversal phenomenon in which the jackpot expectation increases. In addition, the player is notified of the color when a plurality of big hit expectation factor indicating elements become the same color by the color of the aura image.

For example, when the color of the active reserved symbol 37SH5ZA displayed in the active notice and the color of the serif image in the serif notice become the same color, an aura image of the same color and the same color is displayed. For example, as in scenario pattern 1, when the color of the active display symbol becomes "blue" in the active notice and the color of the serif image becomes "blue" in the serif notice, the "blue" aura image is displayed.

After the cut-in notice is executed, two or more of the colors of the active display pattern in the active notice, the color of the serif image in the notice, and the color of the cut-in image in the notice of the cut-in become the same color. In this case, an aura image of the color in which two or more colors are the same is displayed. For example, as in scenario pattern 1, the color of the active display symbol in the active notice,
When the color of the serif image at the serif notice and the color of the cut-in picture at the cut-in notice are all blue, the “blue” aura image is displayed.

After active change is executed, color of active display pattern at active notice (color after active change when there is active change), color of serif image at serif notice,
If two or more of the colors in the cut-in image at the cut-in notice become the same color,
An aura image of the same color with two or more colors is displayed. For example, as in scenario pattern 1, when the color of the active display symbol in the active notice, the color of the serif image in the notice, and the color of the cut-in image in the cut-in notice become all blue, “blue The aura image of "is displayed.

Active notices, serif notices, cut-in notices, and active changes all indicate a big hit expectation, for example, active hold when active notices are executed alone without serif notices and cut-in notices. When the symbol 37SH5ZA is red, the big hit expectation is higher than when it is blue. In addition, when the speech announcement is executed alone without active announcement and cut-in announcement, the red hit of the speech image has a higher expectation for a big hit than it is blue. In addition, when the cut-in notice is executed alone without the active notice and the serif notice, the red if the cut-in image is red is higher in the big hit expectation than the blue. When active change occurs without serif notice and cut-in notice, the jackpot expectation rate is higher in the case where the blue changes to red than when the active hold pattern 37SH5ZA changes from red to blue. Also, the active change is an effect to be executed after the active notice is executed, for example, when the active change is executed without the serif notice and the cut-in notice, the active hold symbol 37S
Only H5ZA will be an indication that suggests a big hit expectation. Here, active hold symbol 37S
As H5ZA changes from red to blue, there is no effect that the big hit expectation is lowered, and active change is performed without serif notice and cut-in notice, active hold pattern 37SH5ZA Only changes from blue to red.

The presence or absence of the execution of the advance notice effect and the contents of the advance notice effect in the case of executing the advance notice effect are determined based on the reach effect and the result of the special drawing game. FIG. 20-2 (A) is a diagram showing a notice effect execution determination table showing a determination ratio of presence / absence of notice effect execution, and FIG. 20 (B) is a scenario pattern decision to determine a scenario pattern of notice effect performed in reach effect It is a figure which shows a table. As shown in FIG. 20-2 (A), the execution ratio of the notice effect is “Super reach (big hit)”, “Normal reach (big hit)”, “Super reach (loss)”, “Normal reach” for the reach effect and the special drawing game results. It is specified by whether it becomes (others) or "others". In addition, "Super reach (big hit)" and "Normal reach (big hit)" are
It is a case where the result of a special figure game becomes a big hit, respectively after "super reach" or "normal reach" is performed. "Super reach (loss)""Normal reach (loss)"
“Is a case where the result of the special-figure game is lost after“ Super reach ”or“ Normal reach ”is executed, respectively. In addition, the execution ratio of the notice effect may be the same between “normal reach (big hit)” and “super reach (big hit)”. Also,
There are cases where the result of the special view game is "missing" without the reach effect being executed in "others". Note that the execution ratio of the advance presentation effect may be determined based on the presence or absence of the reach effect execution and the conditions other than the result of the special drawing game. For example, the execution ratio of the notice effect may be made different depending on the type of reach effect (the type of super reach in the super reach, etc.) or the number of times of pseudo-runs to be performed by the pseudo effect. You may make it

For example, if the result of the special drawing game is “big hit” and “super reach (loss)”, 5
The preview effect is not executed at the rate of%, and the preview effect is executed at the rate of 95%. In the case of "normal reach (big hit)", the advance presentation effect is not executed at a rate of 10%, and the advance presentation effect is executed at a rate of 90%. In the case of “normal reach (loss)”, the advance presentation effect is not performed at a rate of 98%, and the advance effect effect is executed at a rate of 2%. In the case of "others", the notice effect is not executed at a rate of 100%. In the case of “others”, the advance notice effect may not be executed, but in the case of “others”, the advance notice effect may be executed.

When the preview effect is executed, some effects of an active alert, a speech alert, a cut-in alert, and an active change are executed. The active notice, the serif notice, the cut-in notice, and the active change are executed along the scenario pattern determined by the scenario pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20-2 (B). As shown in FIG. 20-2 (B), 23 scenario patterns are provided as scenario patterns, and FIG. 20-2 (B)
Each scenario pattern in the case of "big hit", "super reach (loss)", and "normal reach (loss)" is determined based on the determination ratio shown in. FIG. 20B shows the color of the aura image when the aura image is displayed after the serif notice, the cut-in notice, and the active change are performed.

When determining a scenario pattern with reference to the scenario pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20-2 (B), for example, scenario pattern 1 is determined by 7.1% at the time of big hit, and 0 at the time of super reach (loss) It is decided by 1%. In addition, at the time of normal reach (loss), one of scenario patterns 20-23 is determined, and scenario patterns 1-19 are not determined (determined by 0%). Also, scenario pattern 2 is determined at 6.9% at the time of big hit and 0.2% at the time of super reach (loss). Scenario patterns 3 to 23 are determined at the rates shown in FIG.

The scenario patterns 1 to 23 also include scenario patterns in which a serif notice, a cut-in notice, and an active change are not executed. For example, scenario pattern 3 is a scenario pattern in which a serif announcement is not executed, and scenario pattern 4 is a scenario pattern in which a cut-in announcement is not executed.

As can be seen from the notice effect execution determination table shown in FIG. 20-2 (A), when the notice effect is executed, the jackpot expectation is higher than when the advance effect is not executed. In addition, there are three types of active hit design 37SH5ZA, serif image, and cut-in image as a big hit expectation degree suggestion element in advance notice production, as shown in Figure 20-2 (B) and as can be seen from the scenario pattern determination table Of the three types of big hit expectation factor, when one color is red or blue, red is greater in big hit than blue. In addition, in the case where two or three colors become red or blue among the three types of big hit expectation factor, blue has higher big hit expectation than red.

In addition, when two of the three types of big hit expectation suggestive elements become red or blue, the case where one of the other big hit expectancy suggestive elements becomes blue or red does not become blue or red Bigger than expected. In addition, when all three types of big hit expectation factor become red or blue, the big hit expectation is higher than when two of three types of big hit expectation elements become red or blue. Also, if all three big hit expectation indicators become red or blue, if all three big hit expectations are blue, then all three big hit expectation indicators are red Big hit expectation degree is higher than when it becomes.

In addition, the color of active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA becomes red or blue by active notice and active change, but when there is no active change, the color of active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA by active notice becomes a big hit expectation factor, and when there is active change The color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA due to the active change is a big hit expectation factor suggestive factor.

Also, when there is an active change, there is no change that lowers the jackpot expectation (hereinafter also referred to as "demotion change"), and there is only a change (hereinafter referred to as "promotional change") that the big hit expectation is higher. For example, when the big hit expectation suggestion element is displayed in a single, for example, when the active notice is performed and the serif notice and the cut-in notice are not performed, the active change is
There is only a pattern in which the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes from blue to red (
Scenario pattern 21), there is no pattern that changes from red to blue. In addition, when a plurality of big hit expectation degree suggestion elements are displayed, for example, when active notice, serif notice, and cut-in notice are executed, a pattern in which a color serving as a plurality of big hit expectation degree suggestion elements changes from red to blue There are no patterns in which the colors serving as the big hit expectation factor of the plurality change from blue to red (scenario patterns 5 and 8).

In addition, not only at the time of the big hit and the super reach but also at the time of the normal reach notice production may be executed. In the notice effect performed at the time of normal reach, only the active notice and the speech notice may be performed, and the cut-in notice and the active change are not performed. In addition, even when the advance notice effect is executed at the time of normal reach, when the advance notice effect is executed alone, the big hit expectation degree is higher when the color of the big hit expectation degree suggesting element is red than the blue. In addition, in the case where two or more preview effects are performed and the big hit expectation factor is displayed twice, the big hit expectation is more common if the colors of both big hit expectation factors are the same. If the degree is higher and the color of both big hit expectation factor is the same color, blue will have higher big hit expectation than red.

In addition, when the notice effect is executed in the same pattern at super reach time and normal reach time and the big hit expectation degree suggestion element is displayed in comparison, super hit time is higher at the super reach time than at normal reach time. Become. For example, in the case of super reach and normal reach, active notices and serif notices are executed as advance notice effects, and when the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA and the color of the serif image turn blue, the one at the time of super reach But the big hit expectation is higher than at the time of normal reach.

Note that cut-in notice or active change may be performed at the time of normal reach. In addition, in the case of super reach and normal reach, when the notice effect is executed in the same pattern, the probability of big hit may be higher in normal reach than in super reach, and in a certain scenario pattern In the case of the super reach, the jackpot expectation may be higher than in the normal reach, and in a scenario pattern, the jackpot expectation may be higher in the normal reach than in the super reach in the scenario pattern.

In addition, when an aura image is displayed, although there is a pattern in which the color of the aura image changes (scenario patterns 5 and 8), the aura image once displayed is not erased during execution of the reach effect. Note that there may be a demotion change of the jackpot expectation degree suggesting element, or there may be a pattern in which the aura image once displayed is erased during execution of the reach effect.
In addition, change of big hit expectation factor is active reservation design 37S due to active change
Although it is made to exist only in H5ZA, it may be made to have change of a big hit expectation degree suggestion element (serif image or cut in image) by serif notice or cut in notice. In addition, as a notice effect, a title notice effect or a step-up notice effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "not applicable notice effect") etc. as an active notice, speech notice, cut-in notice, and other notice effects of active change. It may be executed.

Next, the advance presentation effect determination process will be described. FIG. 20-3 (A) is a flowchart showing the procedure of the preliminary announcement effect determining process. The preview control process is performed by the CPU 120 for effect control as shown in FIG.
This process is executed in the variable display start setting process of step S171 in FIG. In the advance presentation effect determination process, the presentation control CPU 120 first refers to the presentation control command transmitted from the main board 11.
A variation pattern is determined (step 37SHS10). If the variation pattern is determined, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether to perform the advance presentation effect based on the determined variation pattern (step 37SHS11). In deciding whether or not to execute the preliminary production,
The effect control CPU 120 refers to the result of the reach effect and the special view game according to the fluctuation pattern specified from the effect control command transmitted from the main substrate 11 in the notice effect execution determination table shown in FIG. Do.

As a result of the determination in step 37SHS11, when the advance notice effect is not executed (step 37SH)
S11; NO), the effect control CPU 120 ends the advance notice effect determination processing as it is. In addition, when executing the notice effect (step 37SHS11; YES), CPU1 for effect control
20 determines a scenario pattern number from among scenario pattern 1 to scenario pattern 23 with reference to the scenario pattern determination table shown in FIG. 20-2 (B) based on the result of the reach effect and the special view game (step 37SHS 12). After that, CPU for effect control
The step 120 stores the determined scenario pattern number in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 as a determination result (step 37SHS13).

Subsequently, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the processing for determining other notice effects (not-for-target notice effects) other than the active notice, the serif notice, the cut-in notice, and the active change based on the variation pattern determined in step 37SHS10. Execute (step 37SHS14)
. For example, as non-targeted notice effects, as shown in FIG. 20-3 (B), there are title notice effects and step-up notice effects. Title preview production and step-up preview production are
Both are executed before reach is established. The title preview effect is an effect that displays the name of reach effect when the name of the reach effect is given on the image display device 5, and there are a pattern with a red background and a pattern with a blue background. In addition, the step-up notice effect is an effect in which the background displayed on the image display device 5 changes to blue before reaching the reach, and then the background changes to red as the step-up progresses. When the title preview effect and the step-up preview effect are executed in one change, first, the title preview effect is executed, and then the step-up preview effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 20-3 (B), when the title preview effect and the step-up preview effect are executed, the jackpot expectation level is higher when these effects are not executed. In addition, when the title preview effect is executed, the red hit is more likely to have a big hit when the background is blue. When the step-up notice effect is executed, the big hit expectation is higher when the step-up to red is performed than when the background is blue and the step-up notice effect is finished. The title preview production and the step-up preview production are
When generated with other preview effects, the color of the background is higher in the big hit expectation than in the case of simply red, regardless of the color of the big hit expectation factor in the other preview effects. In the same way as other preview effects, if the same color is displayed with other preview effects, the big hit is expected to be higher if the same color in blue is the same as red. You may In determining whether or not to execute the non-targeted notice effect, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the result of the reach effect and the special drawing game according to the fluctuation pattern specified from the effect control command transmitted from the main substrate 11 Then, the execution of the title preview effect and the step-up preview effect is determined according to the determination ratio of the other preview effects shown in FIG. Thereafter, the advance presentation effect determination process is ended.

Next, the advance presentation effect execution process will be described. FIG. 20-4 is a flowchart of the preliminary announcement effect execution process. The preview control effect execution process is executed by the effect control CPU 120 within the variable display effect process of step S172 of FIG. 7. In the preview production execution process, C for production control
The PU 120 first reads out the determination result stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 in step 37SHS13 (step 37SHS21).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is at the start of fluctuation (step 37).
SHS 22). As a result, when it is judged that it is at the start of fluctuation (step 37SHS22;
YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes active notice (step 37SHS)
23). At step 37SHS23, an active notice according to the determination result is executed. For example, when scenario pattern 1 is stored as the determination result, the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is changed to blue as the active advance notice. Also, step 37SH
When it is determined in S22 that it is not the time of start of fluctuation (step 37SHS22; NO),
The effect control CPU 120 proceeds directly to step 37SHS24.

Subsequently, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is timing A (step 37SHS24). As a result, when it is determined that it is timing A (step 37SHS
24; YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes the speech notification process (step 37)
SHS 25). In the speech notification process, it is determined whether or not the speech notification is to be executed in the scenario pattern based on the determination result, and the speech notification is executed when the scenario pattern is to execute the speech notification. For example, when the scenario pattern based on the determination result is the scenario pattern 1, the effect control CPU 120 executes serif announcement to be a blue serif image. In addition, when the scenario pattern based on the determination result is scenario pattern 3, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute speech announcement. Also, step 37SHS24
If it is determined that the timing is not A (step 37SHS24; NO), the effect control CPU 120 proceeds directly to step 37SHS26.

Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the timing B (step 37SHS26). As a result, when it is determined that it is timing B (step 37SHS
(26) (YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes a cut-in notification process (step 37SHS27). In the cut-in notification process, it is determined whether or not cut-in notification is to be executed in the scenario pattern based on the determination result, and the cut-in notification is executed if it is a scenario pattern to execute the cut-in notification. For example, when the scenario pattern based on the determination result is the scenario pattern 1, the effect control CPU 120 executes a cut-in notification in which the cut-in image becomes blue. When the scenario pattern based on the determination result is the scenario pattern 4, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the cut-in advance notice. If it is determined in step 37SHS26 that the timing is not B (step 37SHS26; NO), the CPU 120 for effect control directly proceeds to step 37SHS.
Proceed to 28.

Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the timing C (step 37SHS28). As a result, when it is determined that it is timing C (step 37SHS
28) (YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes an active change process (step 37SHS29). In active change processing, it is determined whether or not to execute active change in a scenario pattern based on the determination result, and active change is performed if the scenario pattern is to execute active change. For example, when the scenario pattern based on the determination result is the scenario pattern 2, the effect control CPU 120 executes an active change to change the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA from red to blue. Also, when the scenario pattern based on the determination result is scenario pattern 1, the effect control CP
U 120 does not perform an active change.

After executing the active change process, or when it is determined that the timing C is not in step 37SHS28 (step 37SHS28; NO), the effect control CPU 120 turns on the effect character lamp 37SH37SH09 and processes the aura image 37SHL1 to the image display device 5. Is displayed (step 37SHS30). Here, in the preview production, when the preview production in which the big hit attitude suggestion element becomes the same color is executed, the production character lamp 37SH37SH09 is turned on according to the color that becomes the same color, or the aura of the image display device 5 is performed. A process of displaying the image 37 SHL 1 is executed. And C for production control
The PU 120 executes other processing (step 37SHS31), and ends the advance presentation effect execution processing.

Subsequently, the flow of the notice effect performed in the special view game will be described. First, the execution timing of the notice effect in the special drawing game will be described. As shown in FIG. 20-5 (A), in the special view game, when the active notice is executed, the active notice is:
Execution is started at the start of variation of the decorative design.

After that, in the special drawing game, the variation display of the decorative symbol is executed, and it is the timing when the reach is established. When the speech advance is executed, the speech advance is executed at timing A after a predetermined time has elapsed since the reach was established. Subsequently, when the cut-in advance notification is executed, the cut-in effect is executed at timing B after a predetermined time has elapsed from the timing A. Subsequently, when an active change is performed, the active change is performed at timing C after a predetermined time has elapsed from the timing B.

In the speech announcement and the cut-in announcement, the display of the jackpot expectation degree suggestion element is executed until a predetermined time has elapsed after the speech announcement and the cut-in announcement are started. Specifically, in the speech announcement, after the speech announcement is started at timing A, the speech image and the character are displayed until a predetermined time before timing B comes. In the cut-in advance notice, after the cut-in advance notice is started at timing B, the timing C is reached, and the cut-in image and the character are displayed until a predetermined time before the symbol determination display is made.

In the active notice, while the special drawing game is being executed, an active hold symbol whose color has changed is displayed. Specifically, the active reserved symbol whose color has changed is executed from when variation display of the decorative symbol is started until the symbol finalization display is performed. Even when there is an active change after the active notice, the active hold symbol whose color has changed is displayed until the symbol determination display is performed.

The advance notice effect in the special view game will be described by taking scenario pattern 1 and scenario pattern 8 as an example. For example, in the case of scenario pattern 1, as shown in FIG. 20-5 (B), active advance notice is executed at the start of fluctuation, and the color of the active hold symbol turns blue.
Subsequently, at timing A after the reach is established, the speech warning is executed, and a blue speech image is displayed. At this time, a blue aura image is displayed because both the active hold symbol and the speech image are blue. Subsequently, at timing B, the cut-in notification is executed, and a blue cut-in image is displayed. At this time, the display of the blue aura image is continued. The active change at timing C is not performed.

Next, a display example of the notice effect of the scenario pattern 1 displayed on the image display device 5 will be described. FIGS. 20-6 is a figure which shows the example of execution of the advance presentation effect displayed on the image display apparatus 5. FIG.
In FIG. 20-6, an execution example of the notice effect of scenario pattern 1 in which the result of the special drawing game is a big hit will be described. When the special view game is started, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (A), in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5, the decorative symbol starts variable display.
Also, in the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA, a first hold display area 37 shown in FIG.
Hold display symbol 37SH displayed on the SH5Ha or second hold display area 37SH5Hb
5Z is displayed as it moves. When the active effect is performed as the advance effect, the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA, which is black when the advance effect is not executed,
It is displayed in red or blue at the start of fluctuation of the special drawing game. Figure 20-6 (A)
In the example shown in, the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is displayed in blue. In addition, FIG.
In 0-6 to FIG. 20-10, blue is represented by dot display, and red is represented by hatched display.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (B), "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5
In R, the same kind of decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, and reach is established. A combination of decorative designs in which the same decorative design is stopped and displayed on "left" and "right" and the decorative design of "middle" is fluctuating is referred to as "reach design combination". When reach is established and the reach symbol combination is displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (C), the decorative character of "reach" is displayed at the center of the image display device 5. It is displayed in a large size, and the player is notified of the establishment of the reach. At this time, the reach symbol combination displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R is displayed as a small symbol display area 3
Display on 7SH5X.

Subsequently, the main character 37SHM shown in FIG.
An image in which 1 and the enemy character 37SHE1 face each other is displayed. Subsequently, at timing A, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (D), the serif announcement is executed. In the serif announcement, the main character 37SHM1 issues a dialogue saying "It is a game!", And the dialogue image 37SHR1 Is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 20-6 (D), the serif image 37SHR
1 is displayed as a predetermined color, here blue.

In addition, at the time of timing A, active retention design 37SH5ZA and serif picture 37
Since both SHR1 are the same color blue, the aura image 37SHL1 of the same color
Is displayed on the image display device 5. Thus, by displaying the aura image 37SHL1 of the color of the active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA and the serif image 37SHR1, the color of the two big hit expectation factor is common, and the big hit expectation is increased to the player It can be informed. Moreover, since the color of the aura image 37 SHL 1 is blue, the aura image 3
It is possible to inform the player that the jackpot expectation is further increased than in the case where 7SHL1 is red.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (E), the main character 37S is used as a reach effect.
A battle effect in which HM1 and enemy character 37SHE1 are confronted is executed. At this time, by continuously displaying the aura image 37SHL1 displayed at the timing A, not only the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA but also the serif image 37SHR1 is blue, and the player is expected to have a high hit probability. It can be informed.

Subsequently, at timing B, a cut-in advance notice is executed in the midst of battle rendition.
In the cut-in advance notice, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (F), the cut-in image 37SHC1 is displayed on the image display device 5. Here, a blue cut-in image 37SHC1 is displayed. At this time, since the blue images (active reserved symbol 37SH5ZA, serif image 37SHR1, and cut-in image 37SHC1) are displayed in all of the active notice, the serif notice, and the cut-in notice, the blue aura image 37SHL1 continues. Is displayed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 20-6 (G), in the battle effect, the main character 37
An effect in which the SHM 1 beats the enemy character 37 SHE 1 is executed. At this time, of the reach symbol combinations displayed in the small symbol display area 37SH5X, "left" the symbol of "middle"
By stopping and displaying the same kind of symbol as "right" symbol, a big hit symbol combination in which the same kind of symbol is displayed stopped in "left", "middle" and "right" is displayed in the small symbol display area 37SH5X.

And as shown to FIG. 20-6 (H), the small symbol display area 3 in the image display apparatus 5
The big hit symbol combination displayed on 7SH5X is moved to the decoration symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R and displayed. In this way, it is possible to inform the player that the special figure game will be a big hit and transition to the big hit gaming state.

Next, to explain the case of scenario pattern 8, as shown in FIG. 20-5 (C), active advance notice is executed at the start of fluctuation, and the color of the active reserved symbol turns red. Subsequently, at timing A after the reach is established, the speech warning is executed, and a red speech image is displayed. At this time, a red aura image is displayed because both the active hold symbol and the speech image are red. Subsequently, at timing B, the cut-in notification is executed, and a blue cut-in image is displayed. At this time, three of the active reserve symbol, the dialogue image, and the cut-in image are displayed as the big hit expectation factor, but the active suspension symbol and the dialogue image are red, and the cut-in image is blue and red. As there are more cases, the display of the red aura image is continued as the aura image. Subsequently, at timing C, an active change is performed, and the color of the active hold symbol changes from red to blue. At this time, the color of the aura image changes from red to blue, since the serif image is red, the active reserved symbol and the cut-in image are blue, and blue is more among the three big hit expected factor suggestive elements.

Next, regarding the display example of the notice effect of the scenario pattern 8 displayed on the image display device 5,
This will be described with reference to FIG. 20-7. FIG. 20-7 illustrates an example of execution of advance notice effect of scenario pattern 8 in which the result of the special drawing game is a big hit. When the special figure game is started, the decorative symbol starts variable display in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5.
Also, in the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA, a first hold display area 37 shown in FIG.
Hold display symbol 37SH displayed on the SH5Ha or second hold display area 37SH5Hb
5Z is displayed as it moves. When the active effect is performed as the advance effect, the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA, which is black when the advance effect is not executed,
It is displayed in red or blue at the start of fluctuation of the special drawing game. In Figure 20-7,
Although the image at this time is omitted, the image display device 5 displays an image in which the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is displayed in red among the images shown in FIG.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (A), "left""right" decorative symbol display area 5L, 5
In R, the same kind of decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, reach is established, and decoration pattern display area 5L
, 5C, 5R display the reach symbol combination. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (B), the decorative character of "reach" is displayed large at the center of the image display 5, and the player is notified of the establishment of the reach. At this time, the reach symbol combination is displayed on the small symbol display area 37SH5X.

Subsequently, the main character 37SHM1 and the enemy character 37 are centered on the image display device 5.
An image in which SHE1 faces is displayed, and when timing A comes, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (C), a serif announcement is executed. In the serif announcement, the main character 37SHM1 issues a dialogue saying "It's a game!" At the same time, the speech image 37SHR1 is displayed. Figure 20.
In the example shown in -7 (C), the serif image 37SHR1 is displayed as a predetermined color, here, red.

In addition, at the time of timing A, active retention design 37SH5ZA and serif picture 37
Since both SHR1 are red, a red aura image 37SHL1 is displayed. The red aura image 37SHL1 has the same shape and color as the blue aura image 37SHL1 shown in FIG. 20-6 (D), but the red aura image 37SHL1 has a blue aura image 37SHL.
The value may be smaller than 1 or the density may be low to indicate that the big hit expectation is lower than that when the blue aura image 37 SHL 1 is displayed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (D), the main character 37S is used as a reach effect.
A battle effect in which HM1 and enemy character 37SHE1 are confronted is executed. At this time, by continuously displaying the aura image 37SHL1 displayed at the timing A, not only the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA but also the serif image 37SHR1 is red, and the player is notified that the jackpot expectation is high. It can be informed.

Subsequently, at timing B, a cut-in advance notice is executed in the midst of battle rendition.
In the cut-in advance notice, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (E), the cut-in image 37SHC1 is displayed on the image display device 5. Here, a blue cut-in image 37SHC1 is displayed. At this time, in the active notice and serif notice, a red image (active reserved symbol 37
SH5ZA and serif image 37SHR1) are displayed, and a blue image (cut-in image 37SHC1) is displayed in the cut-in notice, but the color displayed as the notice effect is more red, so the red aura image 37SHL1. Is displayed continuously.

Thereafter, at timing C, as shown in FIG. 20F, active change is performed, and the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes from red to blue. When the color of the aura image 37SHL1 changes from red to blue, the player is notified that the blue that the big hit expectation is high is displayed when executed with a plurality of advance notice effects, so the big hit expectation is high. The player can be notified of the event.

After that, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (G), in the battle effect, the main character 37
An effect in which the SHM 1 beats the enemy character 37 SHE 1 is executed. At this time, of the reach symbol combinations displayed in the small symbol display area 37SH5X, "left" the symbol of "middle"
By stopping and displaying the same kind of symbol as "right" symbol, a big hit symbol combination in which the same kind of symbol is displayed stopped in "left", "middle" and "right" is displayed in the small symbol display area 37SH5X.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20-7 (H), the small symbol display area 3 in the image display device 5
The big hit symbol combination displayed on 7SH5X is moved to the decoration symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R and displayed. In this way, it is possible to inform the player that the special figure game will be a big hit and transition to the big hit gaming state.

Also, when the aura image 37 SHL 1 is displayed on the image display device 5 and the image display device 5
When the aura image 37SHL1 is displayed on the screen, a notice effect is further executed, and the effect character shown in FIG. 20-1 is displayed when the color of the big hit expectation factor in the notice effect is the same as the color of the aura image 37SHL1. The lamp 37SH09 lights up. Production character lamp 37SH
09 lights in the same color as the color of the aura image 37 SHL 1.

For example, when the advance notice effect is executed in the scenario pattern 1, as shown in FIG. 20-8 (A-1), the active advance notice is executed, and the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is blue, but the aura of the image display device 5 is displayed. When the image is not displayed, the effect character lamp 37SH09 is off as shown in FIG. 20-8 (A-2).

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 20-8 (B-1), when the blue serif image 37SHR1 is displayed in the serif announcement, the blue aura image 37SHL1 is displayed on the image display device 5. At this time, the display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09 is updated, and FIG.
As shown in 8 (B-2), of the effect character lamp 37SH09, the right lamp 37SH09
R lights up in blue and the left lamp 37SH09L is off. By turning on the right lamp 37SH09R, the character of "Heat" can be recognized, and the player can be made to recognize an increase in the expectation of the big hit.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 20-8 (C-1), when the blue cut-in image 37SHC1 is displayed at the cut-in notice, the blue aura image 37SHL1 is continuously displayed on the image display device 5. Ru. The display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09 is updated, and as shown in FIG. 20-8 (C-2), the left lamp 3 of the effect character lamp 37SH09
7SH09L and right lamp 37SH09R light in blue. By turning on the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R, the characters "superheat" can be recognized, and the player can be made to recognize a further increase in the degree of expectation of the big hit.

In addition, when the advance notice effect is executed in the scenario pattern 8, the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA turns red in the active notice, and a red speech image is displayed in the notice of the talk, whereby the red aura image 37SHL1 is displayed. At this time, the effect character lamp 37SH
The display status of 09 is updated, and of the effect character lamp 37SH09, the right lamp 37SH09
R lights up in red and the left lamp 37SH09L goes out. Subsequently, when the blue cut-in image is displayed at the cut-in notice, the red aura image 37 SHL 1 is continuously displayed, the right character 37 SH 09 R also lights red for the effect character lamp 37 SH 09, and the left lamp 37 SH 09 L It is off. After that, when the cut-in change is executed and the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes from red to blue, the aura image 37SHL1
Changes to blue. At this time, the display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09 is updated, and among the effect character lamps 37SH09, the left lamp 37SH09L and the right lamp 37SH09R light up in blue.

Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the characteristic portion 37SH, as a notice effect,
Active notice, serif notice, cut-in notice, and active change are included. When these preliminary effects are executed alone, the red-hit of the jackpot expectation degree indicates a higher jackpot expectation than the blue one. In addition, when a plurality of advance notice effects are executed, the direction in which the big hit expectation degree suggesting element becomes blue in any case is higher in the big hit expectation than in each case being red. For this reason, for example, even if the big hit expecting suggestion factor of the big hit is low alone is displayed in the first notice production alone, the big hit expecting suggestion factor of the big hit blue expectation of the big hit alone in the following notice production When is displayed, the big hit expectation is higher than the case where the big hit expected red big hit expectation factor of the big hit is displayed alone. For this reason, even if the big hit expectation degree suggestion element with low big hit expectation is displayed first, the possibility that the big hit expectation may change highly can be sufficiently included in the process of the progression of the presentation. Therefore, even if a big hit expected degree suggestion element with a low hit probability is displayed in the previous preview effect, it is possible to sufficiently give the player a sense of high hit for the big hit, so the interest can be improved.

In addition, in the case of multiple preview effects, if the big hit expectation factor of the same color is displayed,
The big hit expectation is higher than when the big hit expectation factor of the different color is displayed. For this reason, when the blue big hit expected degree suggestion factor of the low hit big expectation is displayed previously alone,
In the subsequent announcement, the big hit expectation will be higher if the big hit expectation factor of blue is displayed rather than the big hit expectation factor of red is displayed alone. Therefore, while the jackpot expectation factor at the time of the preliminary announcement production that the player expects in the preliminary announcement production is red alone, when the big jackpot expectation indication element of blue is displayed at the previous preliminary announcement production, the single jackpot expectation The degree is low. In this manner, the color of the jackpot expectation degree suggesting element in the preview effect that the player expects is changed, so that the interest can be improved.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 including the characteristic portion 37SH, a plurality of notice effects such as active notice, serif notice, cut-in notice, and active change may be executed. Is executed in the variable display of. For this reason, although a plurality of advance notice effects are executed, the player can easily recognize the progress of the game, and the effect effects can be enhanced.

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 including the characteristic portion 37SH, when a plurality of big hit expectation degree hinting elements displayed in the notice effect are the same color, an aura image of the color is displayed. Further, when displaying the aura image, the effect character lamp 37SH09 is turned on according to the aura image. As a result, the player can be made aware of the fact that the big hit expected degree suggesting element of the same color is displayed in a plurality of advance notice effects, and the variation of the effects increases, so that the interest is improved.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the characteristic portion 37SH, two preview effects are executed, and when the color of the big hit expectation factor is blue in the preview effects, the blue aura image 37SHL1 is displayed. At this time, the display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09 is updated, and the right lamp 37SH09R of the effect character lamp 37SH09 lights blue. Therefore, it is possible to notify that the big hit expectation factor of blue is displayed in the two preview effects other than the aura image 37SHL1 as well, and it is possible to appeal to the player that the big hit expectation is increased.

In addition, when the blue aura image 37SHL1 is displayed, and the advance notice effect that the color of the big hit expectation factor is blue is executed, the blue aura image 37SHL1 is continuously displayed. Also, the display state of the effect character lamp 37SH09 is updated, and the effect character lamp 37 is updated.
The right lamp 37SH09R and the left lamp 37SH09L of the SH09 light up. For this reason,
In the image display device 5, only the blue aura image 37SHL1 is displayed, and the number of display of the big hit expectation factor of the blue is not notified. However, in the effect character lamp 37SH09, the display count of the big hit expectation factor of the blue is Different display (lighting state) in case of 2 times and in case of 3 times
Since it becomes easy to recognize the progress of the game, it is possible to enhance the rendering effect and to improve the interest. In addition, when the aura image 37 SHL 1 is displayed, the effect character lamp 3
7SH09 may not be lighted, and instead of the display of the aura image 37SHL1, the effect character lamp 37SH09 may be lighted. Further, an effect that the big hit is determined may be included by the lighting (flashing) mode of the effect character lamp 37SH09. For example, right lamp 37SH09R and left lamp 37 of effect character lamp 37SH09
After the SH09L lights up in blue, the display of the effect character lamp 37SH09 may be further updated, and the big hit may be determined by shining in gold or rainbow.

(Modification of feature portion 37SH)
Hereafter, the modification of the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the characteristic part 37SH is demonstrated. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the above-mentioned characteristic part 37SH, the advance notice effect is executed at timings A to C at the start of the change, but the action effect may be executed when the advance notice effect is executed. The action effect means, for example, an effect acting on an object such as a big hit expectation degree suggesting element, and for example, an effect such as hitting an object with a stick, sticking an arrow or sprinkling confetti. Hereinafter, as an example of the effect presentation, an operation presentation acting on the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA will be described. An effect may be performed when an active change is performed and when it is not performed.

FIGS. 20-9 is a figure which shows the example of execution of the effect presentation displayed on an image display apparatus. Here, as shown in FIG. 20-9 (A), active advance notice is executed and active reserved symbol 37
A description will be given of operation effects performed at the timing when the active change is performed from the state where the SH5ZA is displayed in red. As shown in FIG. 20-9 (A), when the action effect is started, the main character 37SHM with the action tool, here the hammer 37SHD1.
The image in which 1 appears appears.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20-9 (B), the main character 37SHM1 is a hammer 37.
The active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is struck with SHD1. Here, when the active change is executed, as shown in FIG. 20-9 (C-1), the active reserve symbol 37
The color of SH5ZA changes from red to blue. Thus, an active change is performed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20-9 (C-2), the active change is not performed.
The color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA remains red.

Thus, when the active change is executed by executing the action effect, not only the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes, but also the active hold symbol 3
At the time of change of 7SH5ZA, change of surrounding situation can be added. Therefore, the interest is improved by increasing the variation of the presentation. In addition, the effect presentation is executed to notify the player of an object to be changed, for example, the jackpot expectation degree suggesting element to the player. Here, the player is made to recognize that the object of change is the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA. be able to. Furthermore, by the effect presentation being performed, it is possible to notify the player of the timing at which the active change is performed.

In addition, the target of the effect presentation may be something other than the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA. For example, it may be a serif image or a cut-in image in a serif advance notice or a cut-in effect, and the effect on the serif image or the cut-in image may be an effect other than the above-described effect. For example, the action presentation on the speech image may be an action presentation giving a question to the character emitting the speech in the speech image, or only the balloon is displayed, and an action such as an impact is given to the speech to make the letter of the speech It may be an action effect to be displayed. In addition, the action effect on the cut-in image may be an action effect that causes an impact or the like to be applied to the cut-in image in which only a part of the cut-in image is displayed and then a part is displayed. The color of the cut-in background may be changed, or the character of the cut-in image may be changed, by applying an action such as an impact to the image.

In addition to the effect presentation, not only one type of effect presentation, but also a plurality of types of effect presentation may be provided. Further, when a plurality of types of action effects are provided, the big hit expectation may differ depending on the type of action effect to be executed, or the rate of change of the big hit expectation factor may be different. In addition, the big hit expectation may be changed depending on the timing at which the effect production is executed or the big hit expectation factor as an object of the effect production. For example, when the effect production is performed, the rate of change of the big hit expectation degree or the big hit expectation degree suggestion element may be increased when the action production is performed later than when the action production is performed early, or the cut may be performed. If the effect presentation is performed on the in-image, the ratio of change in the big hit expectation or the big hit expectation factor may be higher than that on the speech image. In addition, the effect presentation may be performed a plurality of times in one change display, and when a plurality of operation effects are executed, the effect presentation is performed on a plurality of big hit expectation factor suggestive elements The effect presentation may be performed on a single jackpot expectation suggestive element.
In addition, when there are a plurality of types of action effects, the action effect mode and the notice effect are associated,
When the effect presentation in the corresponding relationship is executed as the advance presentation, the jackpot expectation may be increased. For example, the action presentation A corresponds to the speech notice, and the action presentation B on the cut-in notice.
, And the action effect C corresponds to the active change. In this case, the effect presentation A may be performed such that the big hit expectation is higher if it is executed by the serif notice than by the cut-in notice or the active change.

In addition, when the advance effect is executed, the operation effect may be executed. The operation effect is an effect in which an operation detection means for detecting the operation of the player is provided, and when the operation of the player is detected, the big hit expectation factor may change. Hereinafter, as an example of the operation effect, the operation effect in which the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA may change in the active change will be described.

FIGS. 20-10 is a figure which shows the example of execution of the operation presentation displayed on an image display apparatus. Here, as shown in FIG. 20-10 (A), while the active notice and the cut-in effect are executed, the active reserve symbol 37SH5ZA is displayed in red and the cut-in image 37S
An operation effect to be executed at a timing when an active change is performed from the state where HC1 is displayed and further the aura image 37SHL1 is displayed will be described. The operation presentation may be performed when the active change is performed or not performed.

As shown in FIG. 20-10 (A), the cut-in image 37SHC1 and the aura image 37S
After HL1 is displayed, when a predetermined time passes, a button image 37SHB1 imitating the push button 31B (see FIG. 1) is displayed on the image display device 5, as shown in FIG. In addition, on the image display device 5, the characters "Press!" Are displayed together with the button image 37SHB1. The button image 37 SHB 1 and the characters “press!” Promote the operation of the push button 31 B to the player. The button image 37SHB1 may be displayed when the active change is performed or not performed.

When an active change is executed, when the player operates the push button 31B, the push sensor 35B detects the operation of the push button 31B operated by the operation of the player, as shown in FIG. 20-10 (C-1). As shown, the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA changes from red to blue. Further, when the active change is not executed, even if the player operates the push button 31B, as shown in FIG. 20-10 (C-2), the color of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA remains red.

As described above, when the active change is executed by executing the operation effect, the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is changed by the operation of the push button 31B by the player. For this reason, since the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA is shown to be changed by the operation of the player, the player can feel that the player is participating in the game, so that the game interest is improved.

Instead of the operation of the push button 31B, the operation may be an operation of the stick controller 31A, and when the controller sensor unit 35A detects the operation of the stick controller 31A, an active change may be performed. In addition, the operation may be performed on something other than the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, for example, a lever provided on the side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or a character of a sword. For example, the player's action of holding hands in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or holding a palm may be detected.

The operation of the push button 31 may be a long press operation or a continuous hit operation in which the push button 31 is pressed for a long time or continuously hit instead of simply pressing the push button 31B.
In these long press and continuous hit operations, advance notice effects such as an active change may be made to progress gradually. In addition, in the active change executed by the long press operation and the continuous hitting operation, the advance presentation effect gradually progresses such that the color of the active reserved symbol 37SH5ZA gradually changes from the color before the change to the color after the change, etc. A failure pattern may be provided that eventually returns to the color (state) before change.

Also, for example, when an active change is performed when a predetermined operation mode of the push button 31B is detected, the jackpot expectation is higher than when an active change is performed when another operation mode is detected. It may be For example, the jackpot expectation may be higher when the active change is performed by the long press operation or the continuous hitting operation than when the push button 31B is operated by the push operation to perform the active change. Push button 3
When promoting the long press operation and the continuous hit operation of 1 B to the player, for example, the button image 37SHB
Instead of the characters "press!" Displayed together with 1, the characters such as "long press!" And "double hit!" May be displayed.

Further, as the scenario pattern of the preliminary presentation effect, a scenario pattern in which the big hit is determined or a scenario pattern in which the loss is determined may be provided. The scenario pattern for determining the big hit is a scenario pattern that is not determined when the result of the special drawing game is lost. In addition, the scenario pattern in which the loss is determined is a scenario pattern that is not determined when the result of the special drawing game is a big hit.

Also, when determining the content of the advance notice effect, the scenario pattern may be determined, and the contents of the advance notice effect may be determined in a mode other than the mode of executing the advance notice effect based on the determined scenario pattern. For example, based on the result of the special drawing game and the content of reach, whether or not to execute one preview effect, for example, whether or not to perform a cut-in preview, to execute the cut-in preview, the content of the cut-in preview is specified. Based on the result, and based on the result of the special drawing game and the content of the reach, etc., it may be determined at a predetermined ratio whether or not to perform other advance notice effects. Alternatively, the advance notice may be divided into a plurality of sets, and the contents of the advance notice may be determined according to the presence or absence of execution in the sets. For example, a plurality of patterns of the presence / absence of execution of active notices and serif notices and the contents of the execution and the presence / absence of execution of cut-in notices and active changes and their contents are stored, and those patterns are It may be determined based on the result and the content of reach.

Further, the effect mode in the advance effect may be a change other than the change in color of the jackpot expectation degree suggesting element. For example, in active notice and active change, active hold symbol 37
Instead of the change in color of SH5ZA, the size and the shape of the active hold symbol 37SH5ZA may be changed. For example, active reserve symbol 37S by active notice
The size of the H5ZA may be increased, the shape of the active hold pattern 37SH5ZA may be a simple round shape, a shape that imitates the character's face, or a shape that imitates a vehicle, food, or the like. Further, in the speech preview, instead of changing the color of the speech image, the size, font, etc. of the speech may be changed, or the character that emits the speech may be changed. Alternatively, the voice of speech or BGM may be changed. In the cut-in notice, the type of character displayed along with the cut-in, the width of the cut-in, or the area of the cut-in may be changed.

Further, when executing a plurality of advance notice effects, the degree of expectation may be made different depending on the number of times of execution of the advance notice effects or the execution timing of the advance notice effects. For example, when three preview effects are performed among the speech preview, the cut-in preview, and the cut-in change, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when two preview effects are executed. Also, for example, when the serif announcement may be executed three times, it may be made more likely that the jackpot expectation is higher when the serif announcement is performed three times than when it is performed twice. In addition, when there are three times when there is a case where a serif notice may be executed, it is better if the serif notice is performed at the third timing than when the serif notice is performed at the first timing. It may be made higher. Further, it may be determined at a predetermined rate as to at which timing the preview effect is to be executed.

In addition, the effect mode (the color of the big hit expectation factor) in the advance effect may be four or more types. For example, four or more types of effect modes in one type of preview effect may be set. Also, the presentation mode in the preliminary production may be the same as the production mode in the other preliminary production (the color of the big hit expectation factor is the same color), or different (the big hit expectation factor of the big hit is different color) It may be For example, the color of the serif image can be changed to four colors of black, red, blue, and yellow in the serif notice, and the color of the cut-in image is five colors of black, red, blue, yellow, and green in the cut-in notice. It may be variable. In this case, when there is a plurality of times when the same type of preview effect can be executed, in the preview effect performed a specific number of times, the same type of effect as the mode of the rendering mode, for example, the preview effect executed earlier You may For example, the cut-in advance execution possible timing is 3
If there are times, the color of the cut-in image when the cut-in notification is executed at the third executable timing may be the same as the color of the serif image in the serif notification performed earlier.

In addition, a plurality of preliminary announcement effects may be performed simultaneously. For example, serif announcements, cut-in announcements, and active changes may be performed simultaneously. At this time, in the notice effect performed simultaneously, the same effect mode may be set. For example, when the speech preview and the cut-in preview are simultaneously performed, the speech image and the cut-in image may have the same color.

In addition, there may be different rendering modes to be executed depending on the type of preliminary rendering. For example, the active notice and the cut-in notice have black, blue,
It may be red, and serif announcements and active changes may cause the big hit expectation factor to be yellow or green.

In addition, although the plurality of advance notice effects are executed in one variable display, they may be executed across a plurality of variable displays. For example, a plurality of advance notice effects may be performed in so-called pre-reading effects or hold effects performed by the pre-reading determination unit that performs pre-reading determination on variable displays that have not yet been started.

In addition, when displaying the aura image 37 SHL 1 on the image display device 5, the aura image 37
When SHL 1 occurs, the display priority of the aura image 37 SHL 1 may be set higher than that of images of other effects. The display of the aura image 37SHL1 can be emphasized to the player by making the display priority of the aura image 37SHL1 higher than the images of other effects. In order to increase the display priority, for example, to increase the brightness of the display,
You can increase the movement or increase the density.

In addition, after a while since the aura image 37SH1 is displayed, the display priority of the aura image 37SH1 may be lowered. By lowering the display priority of the aura image 37SH1, it is possible to prevent the aura image 37SH1 from interfering with the subsequent presentation.

Further, the advance notice effect may be performed not only by the image display device 5 but also by another device or the like. For example, a sub image display device which is a small image display device other than the image display device 5 is provided on the game board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the gaming machine frame 3 etc, and a notice effect is displayed on this sub image display device It may be executed. In this case, for example, the active notice and the active change may be performed by the image display device 5, and the serif notice and the cut-in notice may be performed by the sub image display device. The sub image display device may be configured of an organic EL or a dot matrix LED. The sub image display device may be fixed, for example, in the vicinity of the image display device 5, or may be movable or retractable.

Alternatively, a movable character or the like may be provided, and a notice effect may be provided by the action of the character, or a device such as a lamp or a speaker may be used to perform a notice effect using light or sound. It is also good. Furthermore, vibration, wind or the like may be generated by vibration generation means or wind generation means as the advance notice effect. A preview effect may be provided by a plurality of these devices. Further, the jackpot expectation may be made different depending on the device for which the advance presentation effect is executed. For example, although the jackpot expectation is low in the advance notice production of the lamp, the big hit expectation may be high in the announcement production of the vibration generating means. Further, the jackpot expectation may be made to differ depending on the number of devices in which the preview effect is generated. For example, the jackpot expectation may be made higher as the number of devices on which the preview effect is performed is larger. Moreover, in the notice production by the vibration generating means or the wind generating means, the big hit expectation may differ depending on the strength of the vibration or the wind, for example, the strong pattern with the strong vibration or the wind is weaker in the vibration or the wind. The big hit expectation may be higher than the pattern.

Further, depending on the mode of the advance notice, there may be provided a so-called big hit finalized notice effect which does not cause a loss. For example, in any of the active notice, the speech notice, the cut-in notice, and the active change, the effect that the color of the jackpot expectation factor becomes gold or rainbow may be a jackpot confirmation notice effect, or the wind may be generated by the wind generating means The notice effect to be generated may be a big hit final notice effect. In addition, by executing a predetermined advance notice effect a specific number of times, the degree of expectation for a big hit may be extremely high, or the big hit may be determined.

A timer effect may be performed in which timer display is performed until timing A to timing C when the advance effect occurs. Also, for example, in the case of providing a first timer effect that performs timer display up to timing A and a second timer effect that performs timer performance up to timing B, it is executed when the timer of the first timer effect becomes 0 For example, if the announcement effect is performed when, for example, the words of the speech and the second timer effect become 0, the jackpot expectation is high if the jackpot expectation factor indicating the cut-in effect is the same effect mode You may

Also, although the advantageous state is exemplified by the jackpot gaming state, it may be another advantageous state. For example, it may be a definite change state or a short time state. In addition, it may be in a state advantageous to the player such as a predetermined zone.

(Description of the feature 37SH and the feature 31AK)
Next, the feature portion 37SH and the feature portion 31AK will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the reach effect, for example, during the battle effect, a title advance notice shown in the feature portion 31AK and a cut-in advance notice shown in the feature 37SH may be executed. At this time, the jackpot expectation may be made different due to the relationship between the title preview and the cut-in preview. For example, when the character of the title in the title preview and the color of the cut-in image in the cut-in preview are the same color, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when they are different. Also, if the title letter in the title notice and the color of the cut-in image in the cut-in notice are the same color, even if the color with the big hit expectation is high alone, the big hit expectation is low in multiple cases. Good. For example, when the title preview is executed alone, the red of the title character has a higher expectation for a big hit than the blue, and when the cut-in preview is executed alone, the red of the cut-in image is greater than the blue. When the big hit expectation is high, when the title notice and the cut-in notice are executed, the character of the title and the color of the cut-in image in both notices are more likely to have a big hit than the one in which blue is red May be higher. In this case, the presentation effect is enhanced by executing the title preview, and even if the title preview has an expected degree pattern, it can be expected to be developed later, so that the game entertainment is improved.

In addition, for example, when the preview effect shown in the feature portion 37SH is executed during the super reach E in which the big hit expectation in the feature portion 31AK is low, a blue speech image is displayed rather than the red speech image being displayed as the speech effect. When it is done, you may make big hit expectation high.

In such a case, when the relationship between the type of super reach and the advance notice effect is a specific relationship, the jackpot expectation may be increased. For example, in the case of super reach E, in the speech production, the big hit expectation is higher when the speech image is blue than in the red, and in the active notice or cut-in notice of other notice production, the big hit expectation suggested The red hit is higher than the blue element in the big hit, and in the case of the super reach D, the cut-in image in the cut-in effect has a higher hit rate in the blue than in the red, and active notice In the serif announcement, the jackpot expectation factor may be made higher if the jackpot expectation factor is red rather than blue.

In the characteristic part 31AK, the big hit expectation changes in each element of the notification timing of the title, the display area, the expectation degree indication display, the expectation degree indication production, the display end timing of the title, the decision production, the development effect, and the picture type of the production mode In the case where it is carried out with the advance notice in the characteristic portion 37SH, the pattern of the big hit expectation in each of the above-mentioned elements and the pattern of the big hit expectation factor in the notice effect of the big hit expectation (blue display) The big hit expectation may be higher than the high hit pattern (red display) if there is a high hit.
