(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 an ordinary symbol other than the symbol per common drawing (general drawing loss symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "general drawing lost". 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).

  If special symbols (big hit symbols such as "7", the actual symbols differ according to the big hit type described later) are displayed as special symbols in the special figure game, they will be "big hits" and they will be big hit symbols If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from that is displayed stopped, it becomes "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 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, a large winning opening opening mode (round number and opening upper limit period), a gaming state after the big hit gaming state (described later, normal state, time saving state, probability variation state, etc.) prepared a plurality of types, according to these The type is set. 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 (high opening control, high base control) that facilitates the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (in particular, the second special symbol) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

  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. In combination, the short time state is also referred to as a low probability high base state, the positive variation state is also referred to as a high probability high base state, and the normal state is a low probability 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. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display 5, but in addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 The operation 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 ) Is also displayed (derived).

  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 symbol (for example, "7" etc.) is displayed on stop on the predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "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 "non-probable variation big hit (usually big hit)" which is not controlled, even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6" etc.) may be arranged to be stopped and displayed. 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, the decorative symbols forming the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". 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).

A detection signal or the like indicating that the switch has been turned on is entered and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, it is detected that the game ball has passed or entered.

  The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary motorized role and the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. Transmit

  The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control), as part of the control of the progress of the game, according to the progress of the game effect control command (command to specify (notice) the progress of the game etc.) effect control board Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main substrate 11 is relayed by the relay substrate 15 and supplied to the effect control substrate 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main substrate 11 (for example, display results of special drawing games (including a big hit type), fluctuation patterns used when executing the special drawing games (described in detail later) ), Game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning opening, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, gaming state), command for designating occurrence of error and the like are included.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and effects (various effects corresponding to the progress of the game based on the effect control command received, It has a function of performing various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, notification of power failure recovery, and the like.

  On the effect control board 12, a CPU 120 for effect control, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes the program stored in the ROM 121 to execute the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the functions of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed) (Including the determination of At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 is used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of effects based on detection signals from the controller sensor unit 35A and the push sensor 35B (signals output when detecting an operation by the player and appropriately indicating the contents of the operation). The control unit 123 may also be instructed.

  The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes rendering based on a rendering execution instruction from the rendering control CPU 120.

  The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to display the effect image by supplying the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the execution instruction of the effect from the effect control CPU 120. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for specifying a sound to be output) to the sound control board 13 in order to perform sound output synchronized with the display of the effect image and to turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. And the lamp control board 14 is supplied with a lamp signal (a signal for specifying the lamp on / off mode). Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body 32.

  The voice control board 13 has various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the sound designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. Let

  The lamp control board 14 has various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9 and drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on / off the game effect lamp 9 in a mode specified by the lamp signal. Do. Thus, the display control unit 123 controls voice output and lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes an audio output, control of lighting / extinguishing of the lamp (supply of a sound designation signal or a lamp signal, etc.), control of the movable body 32 (supply of a signal for operating the movable body 32, etc.) You may do so.

  The random number circuit 124 can count value data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used to execute various effects so as to be updateable. The effect random number may be updated (updated by software) as the effect control CPU 120 executes a predetermined computer program.

  Substrates other than the main substrate 11, such as the effect control substrate 12, the voice control substrate 13, and the lamp control substrate 14, are also referred to as sub substrates. 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. If the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing a flag, a counter, and a buffer stored in the RAM 102, and sets an initial value in a 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), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 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 (including various flags, various timer states, and the like) for progressing the game, as well as the state of the backup flag and an error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (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 S4) 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, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 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 CPU 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 may perform appropriate screen display 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 a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (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 sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), 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. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening are performed via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 have been received (step S21). Subsequently, by executing 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). The CPU 103 executes the special symbol process process for each timer interrupt to realize management of execution and suspension of the special figure game, control of the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state, control of the playing state, etc. Later).

  Following the special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process 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. Thereafter, the CPU 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 the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (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 each processing (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process processing, transmission setting for transmitting a rendering control command corresponding to each processing to the rendering control board 12 is performed.

  The special symbol normal processing of step S110 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether to start the first special view game or the second special view game based on the presence / absence of the hold information and the like. 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, one of a plurality of types of variation patterns is used using random value for variation pattern determination based on the result of prior determination of whether or not the display result is "big hit" or "small hit" or the like. The process of deciding on etc. 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. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special processing 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 updated to "8". In addition, when the display result is “loss”, the value of the special drawing 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 figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of rounds has reached the upper limit number of executions, The value 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 setting is performed, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to “0”, and the big hit end processing 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 to an on state each time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the register setting of CTC. 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. If an interrupt occurs because the effect control INT signal is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disable state, but interrupts using the CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state. It is desirable to issue a prohibited instruction (DI instruction). 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 at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main substrate 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are read out. Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the effect control command read out is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or 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. Turn on the provided reception flag. 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 process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the RAM 122, for example.

  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. If it is determined that the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 is to be started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is ended.

  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 types 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 the variable display effect process, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display an effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S 171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. Or, driving the movable body 32, outputting a voice or sound effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, a command (electric decoration signal) to the lamp control board 14 Various effect control is performed during the variable display of the decorative symbol, such as turning on / off / flashing the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by the output. After performing such effect control, for example, the end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol is read out from the effect control pattern, or the command specifying that the main decorative object 11 is made to stop and display the decorative symbol is received In response to what has been done, the fixed decoration pattern that is the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the finalized decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and 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 specifying that the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state is started. 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 hit medium effect processing, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern corresponding to the contents of the effect in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the setting contents. . 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. Update to a certain "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, the CPU for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern and the like corresponding to the end of the small hit gaming state, etc., and various kinds of effect control at the end of the small hit gaming state based on the setting contents. Run. 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 for effect control 120 sets, for example, a effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit gaming state, etc., and performs various effect control of ending effect at the end of the big hit gaming state based on the setting contents. Run. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is an initial value, and the ending effect processing is ended.

It is done.

  Further, as described later, a first drawing area (first image buffer area) in which image data to be displayed on the image display device 5 is stored is allocated to the frame buffer area 81SG 501, and the drawing area is By being designated by the display register, the image drawn and stored in the drawing area is displayed on the image display device 5.

  As described above, the effect control CPU 120 can access the system register 81 SG 202 and the attribute register 81 SG 203 through the CPU interface 81 SG 201, and these systems according to the process data defining the display pattern of the image display device 5 described above. The display control unit 123 is indirectly controlled by storing an execution instruction and necessary data in the register 81 SG 202 and the attribute register 81 SG 203.

  In the process data, setting contents that the effect control CPU 120 performs on the system register 81 SG 202 and the attribute register 81 SG 203 for each V blank are defined. The setting contents of the system register 81SG 202 include drawing, data transfer instruction, CG data and pallet data for data transfer, and attribute setting. The setting contents of the attribute register 81SG 203 are attributes, that is, parameters themselves used when drawing a character.

  Further, in the process data, an attribute is set such that the image is updated every V blank. Therefore, the image is updated for each V blank.

  Here, the drawing control will be briefly described. In order for the drawing control unit 81SG 206 to perform drawing processing, characters necessary for drawing need to be arranged in the frame buffer area 81SG 501. That is, it is necessary to arrange a character as source data of a sprite image in the frame buffer area 81SG501.

  Therefore, when executing various effects, the effect control CPU 120 issues a transfer instruction from the CGROM 81 SG 205 to the frame buffer area 81 SG 501 of all the characters necessary for the execution of the effects. Along with this, all characters necessary for performing rendering are arranged in the frame buffer area 81SG 501 by the data transfer control unit 81SG 211. When rendering is performed, the same character is often used repeatedly for drawing, but the data stored in the CGROM 81 SG 205 is compressed, and it takes time to read it, as described above. By arranging all necessary characters in the frame buffer area 81SG501 in the first stage of performing rendering, the time required for drawing can be reduced compared to reading data from the CGROM 81SG205 for each frame. . In this embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect, a transfer command from the CGROM 81 SG 205 to the frame buffer area 81 SG 501 of all the characters necessary for the moving image reproduction is performed. It is also possible to issue a transfer command of characters necessary for each time.

  Also, in order for the drawing control unit 81SG 206 to perform drawing processing, an attribute needs to be set in the attribute register 81SG 203. Since the attribute is different for each V blank, the attribute according to the process data is stored in the attribute register 81 SG 203 for each V blank.

  Then, after the presentation control is started, the presentation control CPU 120 sets an attribute in the attribute register 81 SG 203 for each V blank, and then instructs execution of reading of the attribute. Accordingly, the drawing control unit 81SG 206 reads the attribute of the attribute register 81SG 203, and instructs the output of the read end interrupt signal when the reading is completed. In response to this, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the execution of drawing, and the drawing control unit 81SG 206 draws image data in the drawing area according to the read attribute.

  Next, the effect control command output from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-3 (A) is an explanatory view showing an example of the content of the effect control command used in the present embodiment. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, the first byte indicates MODE (classification of command), and the second byte indicates EXT (type of command). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always "1", and the first bit of the EXT data is "0". The command form shown in FIG. 8-3 (A) is an example, and another command form may be used. Further, in this example, the control command is configured by two control signals, but the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one, or may be three or more.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8-3 (A), the command 8001H is a first change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. The command 8002H is a second change start command for specifying a change start in the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is displayed on the display device 5 so as to be variably displayed on the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R in response to the variable symbol display of the special symbol game. It is a fluctuation pattern specification command which specifies fluctuation patterns (variation time), such as a pattern. Here, XXH represents an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set in accordance with the content of an instruction by the effect control command. In the variation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set in accordance with the designated variation pattern or the like.

  The command 8CXXH is a variable display result specification command, and is an effect control command for specifying a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 8-3 (B), the variable display result specification command determines whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit” (predetermined result) or the variable display result is Different EXT data are set according to the determination result (big hit type determination result) of which of the plural types the big hit type in the case of “big hit” is to be set.

  In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 8-3 (B), the command 8C00H is a first variable display result specification command indicating a result of a prior determination that the variable display result will be “lost”. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probably big hit A" and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "probable big hit B", and the big hit type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result specification command for notifying of the preliminary determination result that the variable display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "non-probable change big hit" and the big hit type determination result.

  The command 8F00H is a symbol determination command for designating stop of variation (decision) of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" in the image display device 5. The command 95XXH is a gaming state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the gaming state designation command, different EXT data is set in accordance with, for example, the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, command 9500H is set as the first gaming state designating command corresponding to the gaming state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither time reduction control nor probability change control is performed, and time reduction control The second game state designating command corresponding to the gaming state (low probability high base state, time saving state) in which the probability change control is not performed is set. In addition, command 9502H is set as a third game state specification command corresponding to a gaming state in which probability change control is performed but time reduction control is not performed (high probability low base state, time reduction none probability change state), command 9503H is time reduction control and probability change The fourth game state designation command corresponds to the game state (high probability high base state, time reduction definite change state) in which the control is performed together.

  The command A0XXH is a jackpot start designation command (also referred to as "fanfare command") for designating the display of the effect image indicating the start of the jackpot gaming state. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is in an open state in the big hit gaming state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after the opening of the special winning opening for notifying that it is a period in which the special winning opening has changed from the opening state to the closing state in the big hit gaming state. The command A3XXH is a big hit end designation command for specifying the display of the effect image at the end of the big hit gaming state.

  In the jackpot start designation command or the jackpot end designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-decision result or the jackpot type determination result, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command. . Alternatively, in the jackpot start designation command or the jackpot end designation command, the correspondence between the pre-decision result and the jackpot type decision result and the EXT data to be set may be made different from the correspondence in the variable display result designation command . In the special winning opening open notification command and the special winning opening after open notification command, different EXT data, for example, corresponding to the number of rounds executed (for example, “1” to “16”) in the normal opening big hit state or short open end big hit state Is set.

  The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball which has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and the starting winning (first starting winning) has occurred. It is a first starting opening winning combination designating command for notifying that the first starting condition for executing the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A is established. The command B 200 H is based on the fact that the game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6 B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22 B and the starting winning (second starting winning) occurs. It is a 2nd starting opening winning a prize specified command which notifies that the 2nd starting condition for performing the special figure game using the 2nd special figure in the 2nd special symbol display device 4B was satisfied.

  The command B5XXH is an effect control command for notifying the remaining number of times (number of changes) of the time reduction, and by setting the EXT data according to the number of remaining times (number of changes) of the time reduction, the remaining number of times (Number of changes) is notified.

  The command C1XXH is a first pending storage number notification command for notifying the first special view storage number in order to display the special view storage number in an identifiable manner in the first storage display area 81SG5D or the like. The command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special view pending storage number in order to allow the second pending storage display area 81SG5U and the like to display the special view pending storage number in an identifiable manner. For example, when the first start opening winning combination designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition is satisfied, the first hold storage number notification command is transmitted. , And is transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is transmitted when, for example, the second starting opening winning combination designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied. , And is transmitted from the main substrate 11 to the effect control substrate 12. In the first reserve memory number notification command and the second reserve memory number notification command, when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserve memory decreases), It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

  Instead of the first pending storage number notification command or the second pending storage number notification command, a total pending storage number notification command for reporting the total pending storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to notify an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

  The command C4XXH and the command C6XXH are effect control commands (determination result specification command at the time of winning) indicating the contents of the determination result at the time of winning. Among these commands, the command C4XXH is a symbol designation command indicating whether or not the variable display result is a "big hit" as a determination result at the time of winning and a determination result of a big hit type (certain change, non certain change, sudden change). In addition, the command C6XXH is a variation category indicating whether the variation pattern determination random number value MR3 is any one of “non-reach”, “super reach”, and “other” variation pattern as the determination result at the time of winning. It is a command.

  FIGS. 8-4 is explanatory drawing which illustrates the random value value counted in the main board | substrate 11 side. As shown in FIG. 8-4, in the present embodiment, on the side of main substrate 11, random number value MR1 for special display result determination, random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, and random value MR3 for variation pattern determination. The numerical data indicating each of the random number values MR4 for determining the common drawing display result is controlled to be able to be counted. Note that other random values may be used to enhance the gaming effect. The random numbers used to control the progress of such a game are also referred to as gaming random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating a part or all of the random values MR1 to MR4. The CPU 103 updates various numerical value data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), for example. It is also possible to count numerical data indicating a part.

  The random number value MR1 for the special figure display result determination is a random number value used to determine whether or not to control the big hit gaming state with the variable display result such as the special symbol in the special figure game as the "big hit". It takes a value in the range of "1" to "65536". The random number value MR2 for determining the jackpot type is used to determine the jackpot type in the case where the variable display result is "big hit" as any of the "probably variable big hit A", "probably variable big hit B" and "non-probable change" It is a random value, and takes, for example, a value in the range of “1” to “100”.

  The random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination is a random number value used to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation display of the special symbol or the decorative pattern to any one of a plurality of types prepared in advance, for example, “1” to It takes a value in the range of 997 ".

  The random number value MR4 for determining the common drawing display result is used to determine whether the variable display result in the common drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per common drawing" or "general drawing lost". It is a random number value, and takes, for example, a value in the range of “3” to “13”.

  8-5 is a figure for demonstrating the change pattern in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this Embodiment, and the kind of reach. As shown in FIG. 8-5 (A), in this embodiment, the variation display mode of the decorative design does not become the reach mode, and the variation result PA1-1 and PA1 of the non-reach loss in which the display result is "loss". -2, the variation display pattern of reach loss that the display result becomes "loss" because the mode of the variable display of the decorative design becomes a "reach" change patterns PA2-1-PA2-6, PA3-1-PA3-4, etc., the display result is a big hit The variation patterns PB2-1 to PB2-6, PB3-1 to PB3-4, and so on, which become "," are prepared.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (B), in the present embodiment, reach effects such as normal reach and super reach A to super reach E are performed. In this embodiment, the reach effect is also referred to as a suggestion effect that suggests that the jackpot gaming state is controlled. As shown in the number of black stars in Fig. 8-5 (B), the reliability (big hit reliability) when each reach was executed is: normal reach <super reach E <super reach D <super reach C <super Reach B <Super Reach A is in the order of high. 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. The variation patterns PA3-1 to PA3-4 and the like shown in FIG. 8-5 (A), and the variation patterns PB3-1 to PB3-4 and the like are variation patterns corresponding to execution of the development effect. 8-5 (A), although the fluctuation | variation pattern in which reliability extends to super reach one stage is shown, the fluctuation | variation pattern which reliability develops two or more steps 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. As shown in FIG. 8-5 (B), the notification mode of the title differs depending on the type of reach. Specifically, the super reach E with the lowest reliability 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 voice. 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.

  8-6 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In the present embodiment, the display result determination table common to the first and second special views is used as the display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. Separate display result determination tables may be used for the figure and the second special figure.

  The display result determination table is determined as a variation display result in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the special symbol is derived and displayed, it is referred to determine whether or not to control the variation display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state based on the random value MR1 for the special view display result determination. It is a table.

  In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, the special view is displayed depending on whether the gaming state in pachinko gaming machine 1 is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) or the probability changing state (high probability state). A numerical value (decision value) to be compared with the random number value MR1 for result judgment is assigned to the special map display result of "big hit" or "loss".

  In the display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random number value MR1 for the special view display result determination is the determination result whether to control the special view display result to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit". It is the judgment data to be allocated. In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a probability change state (high probability state), more determination values are “big hit” than in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Is assigned to the special map display result of. As a result, in the probability change state (high probability state) in which probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special view display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" when in the normal state or the time reduction state (low probability state). Then, compared with the probability (about 1/300 in this embodiment), the probability that it is determined that the special image display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit" is higher (about 1 in this embodiment) / 30). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probability change state (high probability state), there is a probability that it is determined to control to the big hit gaming state as compared with the normal state or time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state to be higher.

  FIGS. 8-7 show examples of the configuration of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. In the big hit classification determination table of this embodiment, when it is determined that the special figure display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit", either of the big hit classification is selected based on the random number MR2 for big hit classification determination. It is a table that is referenced to determine whether or not. In the big hit classification determination table, whether the special symbol on which the variable display (variable display) is performed in the special figure game is the first special figure (the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special figure (the second special figure Depending on whether it is a special design game by the special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number value MR2 for the jackpot type judgment is “non-probability change” or “probability change big hit A” It is assigned to a plurality of jackpot types such as "B".

  Here, the jackpot type in the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 8-7 (B). In the present embodiment, high probability control and time-saving control after the end of the jackpot gaming state are used as the jackpot type. The probability variable big hit A or the probability variable big hit B to be executed to shift to the high probability high base state, and the non-probable variation big hit to execute only the time saving control to shift to the low probability high base state after the end of the big hit gaming state is set. There is.

  In the big hit gaming state due to "probable big hit A" and the big hit gaming state due to "non-probable big hit", as described above, 16 rounds of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to a first state advantageous to the player 16 rounds), is a regular open jackpot repeatedly executed. On the other hand, in the big hit gaming state by "probable big hit B", as described above, five times (so-called five rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. It is a short-term open jackpot. Therefore, "probably big hit A" may be referred to as 16 rounds (16R), and "probably big hit B" may be referred to as 5 rounds (5R).

  The high probability control and the time saving control executed after the end of the big hit gaming state of the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B are continuously executed until the big hit occurs again after the end of the big hit gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurred again is the definite variation big hit A or the definite variation big hit B, the high probability control and the time saving control are executed again after the big hit gaming state ends, so the big hit gaming state does not go through the normal state It is a so-called continuous state that occurs continuously.

  On the other hand, the time reduction control to be executed after the end of the big hit gaming state due to the "non-deterministic big hit" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) or It ends by becoming a big hit game state before the game is executed.

  In the setting example of the big hit classification determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), “probably big hit A” and “prone big hit B according to whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. Allocation of the judgment value to the jackpot type of "" is different. That is, when the variation special figure is the first special figure, the judgment value in the predetermined range (value in the range of "81" to "100") is assigned to the big hit type of "probable big hit B" with a small number of rounds. On the other hand, when the variation special figure is the second special figure, the determination value is not assigned to the big hit type of “probable variation big hit B”. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be any of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the first start condition for starting the special drawing game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. And if the jackpot type is determined to be any of a plurality of types based on the establishment of the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. And, it is possible to make the proportion of determining the jackpot type “a certainty big hit B” with a small number of rounds different. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined that the big hit type is controlled to the short open jackpot state with a small number of rounds as "probably variable big hit B". In the game state in which the game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequency of the short-term opening big hit state with few winning balls obtained is avoided to avoid frequent occurrence of the game openness It can be prevented.

  In the setting example of the jackpot classification determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), the assignment of the judgment value to the jackpot classification of “non-probability change” is whether the variation special drawing is the first special drawing or the second special drawing Because it is considered to be the same regardless of whether it is the probability of becoming a non-probability jackpot and the probability of becoming a jackpot of the probability variation is the same regardless of whether the variation feature is the first special figure or the second special figure It is assumed.

  Therefore, as described above, the assignment of the determination value to the “probable variation big hit B” differs depending on whether the variation feature is the first special view or the second special view, “certainly variation big hit A The assignment of the judgment value to “” also differs depending on whether the variation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, and the variation special figure is the second special figure for “probable variation big hit A” with a large number of rounds. Is set to be easier to determine than the case of the first special view.

  In addition, even when the fluctuation special drawing is the second special drawing, the judgment value of the predetermined range different from the case where the fluctuation special drawing is the first special drawing is assigned to the big hit type of “probably variable big hit B” May be For example, when the variation special figure is the second special figure, a smaller judgment value may be assigned to the jackpot type “probable variation big hit B” as compared to the case where the variation special figure is the first special figure. Alternatively, regardless of whether the variation special drawing is the first special drawing or the second special drawing, determination of the jackpot type may be performed with reference to common table data.

  The ROM 101 also stores a variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern based on the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, and the variation pattern is one of the plurality of types described above according to the result of the prior determination. Decide on one of the fluctuation patterns.

  Specifically, as the variation pattern determination table, the big hit variation pattern determination table used when it is previously determined that the special figure display result is "big hit", and the special figure display result is "lost". A loss change pattern determination table to be used when it is determined in advance is prepared in advance.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table for loss, the fluctuation pattern determination table for loss A used when the number of pending storages is 1 or less, and for loss used when the total number of pending storages is 2 or more. A variation pattern determination table B and a loss variation pattern determination table C which are used when the gaming state is a high base state in which time saving control is performed are prepared in advance.

  In the fluctuation pattern determination table A for loss, the non-reach fluctuation pattern without shortening (PA1-1), the fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), the fluctuation pattern of super reach A loss-the fluctuation pattern of super reach E loss ( A predetermined random number value is assigned as a judgment value within the range which can be taken by the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment to PA2-2 to PA2-6, PA3-1 to PA3-4). In addition, in the fluctuation pattern determination table B for loss, shortening non-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-2), fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), fluctuation pattern of super reach A loss-fluctuation pattern of super reach E loss ( A predetermined random number value is assigned as a judgment value within the range which can be taken by the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment to PA2-2 to PA2-6, PA3-1 to PA3-4). Furthermore, in the fluctuation pattern determination table C for loss, the number of fluctuation patterns determination table B for loss within the range which can be taken by the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination with respect to the shortened non-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-2). The random number value is assigned as the judgment value, and the fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), the fluctuation pattern of super reach A loss-the fluctuation pattern of super reach E loss (PA2-2 to PA2-6, PA3-1- The remaining random number value in the range that can be taken by the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination is allocated as a determination value to PA3-4).

  Further, the RAM 102 is provided with a game control data holding area (not shown) as an area for holding various data used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the like. The game control data holding area includes a first special view reserve storage unit, a second special view reserve storage unit, a general drawing reserve storage unit, a game control flag setting unit, a game control timer setting unit, and a game control counter. A setting unit and a game control buffer setting unit are provided.

  The first special drawing reserve storage unit is a special drawing that has not been started yet although the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the start winning (first start winning) occurs. Hold data of the game (special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special view reserve storage unit is associated with the reserve number in the winning sequence (the order of detecting the gaming balls) to the first starting winning opening, and the establishment of the first starting condition in passing (entering) the gaming balls The random number value MR1 for special view display result determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. , Until the number of memories reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4"). The reserve data thus stored in the first special view reserve storage unit indicates that the execution of the special view game using the first special view is suspended, and the variation display result in this special view game (special view display result It becomes reservation information which makes it possible to determine whether or not to be a big hit based on.

  In the second special view reserve storage unit, the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B and the start winning (second start winning) occurs although it has not been started yet The reserve data of the figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special view reserve storage unit is associated with the reserve number in the winning order (the detection order of the game balls) to the second start winning opening, and establishment of the second start condition in passing (enter) the game balls The random number value MR1 for special view display result determination extracted from the random number circuit 104 etc. by the CPU 103 based on the random number value MR2 for big hit type determination, the numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc. , Until the number reaches a predetermined upper limit (for example, "4").

Also, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (C), the effect control buffer setting unit 81SG194 is provided with one storage area corresponding to the active display area, and the situation at the time of winning of the variable display under execution The data which comprises active display buffer 81SG194B which can specify can be stored. When there is a start winning to the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (the first starting opening winning designation command or the second starting opening winning designation command), the symbol designation command, the variation category designation A command and four commands of a pending storage number notification command (a first pending storage number notification command or a second pending storage number notification command) are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special view reservation storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special view reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer 81SG194A and the active display buffer 81SG194B are these start opening prize specification commands, symbol designation commands, A storage area (entry) for dividing and storing the first special view hold storage and the second special view hold storage in association with the variation category designation command and the hold storage number notification command is secured.

  The storage contents of these storage areas (entries) are shifted upward one by one as described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the topmost pending storage (buffer number "1") is started. To go.

  Furthermore, the start-up winning reception command buffer 81SG194A and the active display buffer 81SG194B according to the present embodiment indicate whether or not the on-hold display advance notice effect described later is the target of the on-hold display advance effect, and the effect mode (effect type) of the on-hold display advance effect.

  At the time of starting winning to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, the effect control CPU 120 stores the command from the top (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry of the start winning receiving command buffer 81SG194A. . At the time of starting winning, from starting opening winning combination designated command to reservation memory number notification command is transmitted sequentially. Therefore, if command reception is performed, and if the command reception is based on the start winning for the first start winning opening, buffer numbers “1-1” to “1-4” corresponding to the special view pending storage The storage area corresponding to each is stored in the order of the start opening winning combination designation command, the symbol specification command, the variation category specification command, and the pending storage number notification command, and the command reception is based on the start winning combination to the second start winning opening If it is one of them, in the storage area corresponding to each of the buffer numbers “2-1” to “2-4” corresponding to the special view reserve storage, the start opening winning combination designation command, the symbol designation command, the variation category designation command, It will be stored in order of storage number notification command.

  In the present embodiment, when the variable display based on the first special view reserve storage is executed, the buffer number “1-1” of the start winning reception command buffer 81SG194A when the variable display of the decorative symbol is started. The contents of the entry of are copied to the entry of the active display buffer 81SG194B, and the stored contents of the entry of the buffer number “1-1” of the start winning winning reception command buffer 81SG194A are deleted, and the buffer number “1-2” and thereafter The stored content of the entry is shifted to the next higher entry.

  Further, when the variable display based on the second special view reserve storage is executed, when the variable display of the decorative symbol is started, the contents of the entry of the buffer number "2-1" of the start winning reception command buffer 81SG194A Is copied to the entry of the active display buffer 81SG194B, and the stored contents of the entry of the buffer number “2-1” of the start winning winning reception command buffer 81SG194A are deleted, and the stored contents of the entry after the buffer number “2-2” Is shifted to the next higher entry.

  In the present embodiment, by executing an active display / hold display update process described later, the hold display in the first hold storage display area 81SG5D and the second hold storage display area 81SG5U can be performed for each of the start-up winning reception command buffer 81SG194A. It is possible to display in a display mode based on the pending display advance presentation effect target flag stored in the entry. In addition, by executing a waveform advance presentation execution process described later, the active display area 81SG5F is displayed in a display mode based on the value of the waveform advance presentation subject flag stored in each entry of the start winning reception command buffer 81SG194A. It is possible. The data stored in the active display buffer 81SG194B is deleted each time the variation display of the decorative pattern ends.

  Next, the start winning determination process in the present embodiment will be described. In the start winning determination process of S101, as shown in FIG. 8-9, the CPU 103 first detects the first start opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. Based on the signal, it is determined whether the first starting opening switch 22A is on (S81 SG101). At this time, if the first starting opening switch 22A is turned on (S81 SG101; Y), the number of first special view pending storages which is the number of pending storages of the special view game using the first special view has a predetermined upper limit ( For example, it is determined whether or not “4” as the upper limit storage number is obtained (S81SG102). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the first special image storage number by reading the first storage number count value which is the storage value of the first storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, for example. When the number of first special view holding storage numbers is not the upper limit in S81 SG 102 (S 81 SG 102; N), for example, the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to “1” (S 81 SG 103).

  When the first starting opening switch 22A is off at S81 SG 101 (S81 SG 101; N), or when the number of first special view storage blocks has reached the upper limit at S 81 SG 102 (S 81 SG 102; Y), the variable winning ball device 6 B It is determined whether the second start port switch 22B is on or not based on a detection signal from the second start port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second start winning port formed by the (S81 SG104). At this time, if the second starting opening switch 22B is on (S81 SG104; Y), the number of second special view pending storages which is the number of pending storages of the special view game using the second special view has a predetermined upper limit ( For example, it is determined whether or not “4” as the upper limit number of storages (S81 SG 105). The CPU 103 only needs to be able to specify the second special-view storage number by reading the second-pending storage number count value, which is the storage value of the second-pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, for example. When the second special figure storage number is not the upper limit value in S81 SG 105 (S81 SG 105; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to "2" (S 81 SG 106).

  After one of the processes of S81SG103 and S81SG106 is executed, the number of to-be-saved special-character storages according to the starting opening buffer value which is the storage value of the starting opening buffer is updated to 1 (S81SG107). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the first pending storage number count value is incremented by one, while when the starting opening buffer value is “2”, the second pending storage number count value is incremented by one. Thus, the first reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of pending storages is also updated so as to add one (S81SG108). For example, the total pending storage number count value, which is the storage value of the total pending storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit 154, may be updated so as to add one.

  After executing the processing of S81 SG 108, the CPU 103 uses the random number value MR1 for special view display result determination and the big hit type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random counter of the random number circuit 104 and the game control counter setting unit 154. The numerical value data indicating the random number value MR2 and the random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination are extracted (S81 SG109). Numeric data representing each random number value extracted in this manner is stored at the head of the free entry in the special view storage section according to the starting opening buffer value by being set as storage information (S81 SG110). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, while the first special image storage unit stores numerical data indicating random number values MR1 to MR3, the starting opening buffer value is “2”. [2] Numeric data indicating random number values MR1 to MR3 are stored in the special figure storage unit.

  The numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment and the random number value MR2 for the big hit classification judgment is whether or not the fluctuation display result of the special symbol or the decorative pattern is "big hit", and further the fluctuation display result It is used to determine the jackpot type in the case of "big hit". The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine a variation pattern including the variation display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. The CPU 103 executes the processing of S81SG109 to extract numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for the determination of the variation display mode including the variation display result of the special symbol and the decoration pattern and the variation display time.

  Subsequent to the processing of S81SG110, the transmission setting of the starting opening winning combination designation command according to the starting opening buffer value is performed (S81SG111). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is “1”, the storage address of the first starting opening winning specified command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the transmission command buffer in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer, etc. The setting for transmitting the first starting opening winning combination designation command to 12 is performed. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second starting opening winning specified command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, etc. The setting for transmitting the second starting opening winning combination designation command is performed. The start opening prize winning specification command thus set is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed, for example. Be done.

  Following the processing of S81SG111, a winning random number value determination processing is executed (S81SG112). Thereafter, the pending storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by storing the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the sending command pointer in the sending command buffer, The setting for this is performed (S81 SG113). For example, after the special symbol process processing is completed, the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. 4 is executed to transmit the main storage 11 to the effect control board 12 after the special symbol process process is finished. Be done.

  After the process of S81SG113 is performed, it is determined whether the starting opening buffer value is "1" (S81SG114). At this time, if the starting opening buffer value is “1” (Y in S81SG114), the starting opening buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to “0” (S81SG115), and the process proceeds to S81SG104. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (N in S81 SG114), the start port buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (S81 SG116), and the start winning process is performed. finish. As a result, even when both the first starting opening switch 22A and the second starting opening switch 22B simultaneously detect a starting winning combination of valid gaming balls, it is possible to surely complete the processing based on the detection of both starting starting winning combinations.

  FIG. 8-10 (A) is a flowchart which shows an example of a process performed by S81 SG112 of FIG. 8-9 as random number value determination processing at the time of winning. In this embodiment, when the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started, is the special symbol display result (the variable display result of the special symbol) controlled to the big hit game state as the "big hit" by the special symbol normal processing? It is determined whether or not it is not. Further, in the variation pattern setting process, determination of a variation pattern that specifically defines the variation display mode of the decorative pattern is performed. On the other hand, separately from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination process of S81 SG 112 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the start winning opening (the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening). Thus, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as the special view display result, and whether or not the variation display mode of the decorative symbol is the predetermined display mode with the super reach. This makes it possible to determine whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variable display, that is, before the start of the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball entering the start winning opening Before, it is determined that the special figure display result will be a "big hit" or which category of the variable display mode of the decorative design variation display mode will be, and based on this determination result, by the effect control CPU 120 etc. As will be described later, the on-hold display advance notice effect and the waveform advance notice effect are performed.

  In the winning random number determination process shown in FIG. 8-10 (A), the CPU 103 first checks the state of the time saving flag or the probability variation flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit, etc. The present game state in 1 is specified (S81 SG121). The CPU 103 identifies the definite variation state when the definite variation flag is on, and identifies the short time status when the definite variation flag is off and the time saving flag is on, and both the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are off. At times, it may be specified that it is in the normal state.

  Following the process of S81SG121, the display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-6 is selected and set (S81SG122). Thereafter, it is determined whether the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1 for special view display result determination extracted in S81 SG109 of FIG. 8-9 is within the predetermined big hit determination range (S81 SG123). In the jackpot judgment range, individual judgment values assigned to the special display display result of "big hit" in the display result judgment table selected by the process of S81 SG122 are set, and the CPU 103 sets the random value MR1 and each judgment value. It is only necessary to be able to determine the presence or absence of a determination value that matches the random value MR1 by comparing one by one. Alternatively, the CPU 103 sets the random number MR1 and the minimum value and the maximum value of the big hit determination range by setting numerical values indicating the minimum value (lower limit value) and the maximum value (upper limit value) of the determination values included in the big hit determination range. It is only necessary to be able to determine whether or not the random value MR1 is within the range of the jackpot determination range by comparison. At this time, by determining that the random value MR1 is within the range of the big hit determination range, it can be determined that the variable display result based on the pending data including the random value MR1 is determined to be "big hit".

  If it is determined in S81SG123 that the jackpot is not within the jackpot determination range, that is, if it is judged that the jackpot will not be a jackpot at the time of the fluctuation display (S81SG123; N), the symbol according to the fluctuation display result being "loss" The transmission setting of the designated command is executed (S81SG124), and it is determined whether the time saving flag is set, that is, whether the current gaming state is the time saving state (S81SG125). When the short time flag is not set (S81 SG125; N), the change pattern determination table A for loss is selected and set, and when the time short flag is set (S81 SG 125; Y), the change pattern determination table for loss C is selected and set (S81 SG127).

  The loss change pattern determination table A is a loss change pattern determination table used when the number of pending storages is one or less. Further, the change pattern determination table C for loss is a change pattern determination table for loss used when the gaming state is a high base state in which time saving control is being executed.

  In this embodiment, in addition to the loss variation pattern determination table A and the loss variation pattern determination table C, the loss variation pattern determination table is used when the total number of pending storages is two or more. Although B is prepared in advance, among these fluctuation pattern determination tables for loss A, in the fluctuation pattern judgment table for loss A, the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination can be taken for fluctuation patterns of non-reach. In the range, values from 0 to A are assigned, and in the loss variation pattern determination tables B and C, 0 to 0 in the range that the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination can be taken with respect to non-reach variation patterns. A value exceeding A is assigned. On the other hand, in the fluctuation pattern determination tables for loss A to C, values from B to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach among the range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for fluctuation pattern judgment.

  Therefore, by determining the change pattern using the change pattern determination table A for loss in S81 SG 126, the determination of non-reach and super reach always requires non-reach or super reach even if the number of reserved memories changes after the determination. Since it becomes a fluctuation pattern, it is judged using the fluctuation pattern judgment table A for losing in the judgment at the time of starting winning.

  As shown in FIG. 8-10 (A), when it is determined in S81 SG 123 that it is within the big hit determination range, that is, when it is determined that it becomes a big hit at the time of variable display (S 123; Y), big hit type determination The jackpot type is determined based on the random number value MR2 for (S81 SG128). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special view (the “first special view” corresponding to “1” or the “second special view” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start opening buffer value. The table data for determining the big hit type is selected from the table data constituting the big hit type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

  In addition, the transmission setting of the symbol specification command according to the big hit classification which is decided in S81 SG128 is executed (S81 SG129), the big hit fluctuation pattern decision table is selected as the table in order to decide the big hit fluctuation pattern to plural either It sets (S81 SG130).

  After executing any of the processes of S81SG126, S81SG127, and S81SG130, the variation pattern determination table set by the process of S81SG126, S81SG127, and S81SG130 and numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination are used. The variation category according to the range of the determination value including the random value MR3 is determined (S81 SG131). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-10 (B), when at least the variation display result is “loss”, the variation display mode of “non-reach” is common regardless of the total number of pending storages. And a variation category that is a variation display mode of "super reach" and a variation category of "other" that is a variation display mode (for example, normal reach) other than "non reach" and "super reach". It may be determined based on the random value MR3 whether or not such a change category is determined.

  Thereafter, after setting for transmitting the variation category designation command to the effect control board 12 according to the determination result by the process of S81SG131 (S81SG132), the winning random number value determination process is ended.

  Next, the effect control process in the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 8-11, in the effect control process of the present embodiment, a waveform advance notice effect execution process (S81 SG 71) for executing waveform advance notice effect after the advance notice setting process is executed, and hold processing. After executing the active display / hold display update process for updating the display mode of the display and the display mode of the active display area 81SG 5F, one of the processes of S170 to S177 is performed.

  FIGS. 8-12 and 8-13 are flowcharts showing an example of the process executed in FIG. 8-11 as the prefetch advance notice setting process in the present embodiment. 8-12, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the contents of the start winning reception command buffer 81SG 294A (S81 SG241), and the start opening winning combination designation command, the symbol designation command, and the variation category command. Among the entries for which the pending storage number notification command is set, it is determined whether or not there is an entry for which the values of the waveform advance presentation object flag and the pending display advance presentation effect flag are undecided (that is, not set). (S81 SG 242).

  If there is no entry for which the values of the waveform advance presentation effect target flag and the hold display advance notification effect target flag are not determined (S81 SG 242; N), the pre-reading notice setting process is ended, and the waveform advance effect target flag and the hold display advance notification effect target flag If there is an entry for which the value of P is undecided (S81 SG 242; Y), the entry is an entry of the first special view pending storage, that is, the buffer number is any of “1-1” to “1-4” It is determined whether or not (S81 SG 243). When the entry is an entry of the first special view reservation storage (S81 SG 243; Y), whether or not the buffer number of the entry is “1-2” or later, that is, the entry is the first special view It is determined whether or not it is the second to fourth pending storage in the pending storage (S81 SG 244). It is to be determined whether or not the buffer number is “1-2” or later in order to secure the waveform advance notice effect and the hold display notice effect. If the buffer number of the entry is "1-2" or later (S81 SG244; Y), "1" or "2" is already set in the value of the waveform advance presentation object flag and the value of the suspension display advance effect object flag It is determined whether or not there is any entry, that is, whether or not the waveform advance presentation effect or the suspension display advance effect is already being executed (S81SG245, S81SG246).

  When there is no entry in which "1" or "2" is set in the value of the waveform advance presentation object flag and the value of the suspension display advance announcement object flag, that is, when the waveform announcement effect and the suspension display announcement effect are not executed. (S81SG245; N and S81SG246; N), it is determined whether or not all the variation category designation commands in the first special view pending storage before the entry are non-reach (S81SG247). When all the variation category designation commands in the first special view reservation memory before the entry are non-reach (S81 SG 247; Y), the effect control CPU 120 extracts a waveform notice effect determination random number, and the symbol designation command of the entry And, using the variation category command and the waveform advance presentation effect determination table (not shown), the presence or absence of the execution of the waveform advance presentation effect and the effect type are determined (S81 SG248). As described above, in the present embodiment, since the waveform advance notice effect can be executed only when all the variation category designation commands in the first special view reservation memory before the entry are non-reach, the waveform advance notice effect and the reach effect are It is possible to prevent the player from being executed in parallel, and to make the player pay attention to the reach effect only or the waveform advance effect only to improve the game interest.

  In the process of S81 SG248, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (A), when the symbol designation command and the variation category indicate non-reach loss, the non-execution of the waveform advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%, and 5% It is determined that the waveform advance notice effect is to be performed by the effect type A at a rate, and it is determined that the waveform advance notice effect is to be performed by the effect type B at a rate of 0%. In addition, if the symbol designation command and the variation category indicate normal reach loss, the non-execution of the waveform advance presentation effect is determined at a rate of 80%, and it is determined that the waveform advance presentation effect is executed at a rate of 20% in the effect type A It decides to execute the waveform advance notice effect in the effect type B at a rate of 0%. In addition, if the symbol designation command and the variation category indicate a super reach loss, the non-execution of the waveform advance presentation effect is determined at a rate of 60%, and it is determined that the waveform advance presentation effect is performed at the effect type A at 30% It is decided to execute the waveform advance notice effect in the effect type B at a rate of 10%. Then, if the symbol designation command and the variation category indicate a big hit, the non-execution of the waveform advance presentation effect is determined at a rate of 30%, and it is determined that the waveform advance presentation effect is executed at the effect type A at a rate of 10%, It is decided to execute the waveform advance notice effect in the effect type B at a rate of 60%.

  The effect type A is an effect type (display mode) in which a sawtooth wave (waveform: small) with a small amplitude is repeatedly displayed in the active display area 81SG5F, and the effect type B is a large amplitude in the active display area 81SG5F It is an effect type (display mode) in which a sawtooth wave (waveform: large) is repeatedly displayed. As described above, when a large sawtooth wave is repeatedly displayed in the active display area 81SG5F by determining the presence / absence of execution of the waveform advance presentation effect and the effect type, the small sawtooth wave in the active display area 81SG5F is repeatedly displayed. In the higher rate than in the case where it is done, the change display result of the notice object becomes a big hit. That is, in the waveform preview effect, the case where the waveform preview effect is executed in the effect type B is the highest in the jackpot expectation, and the case in which the waveform preview effect is not executed is set the lowest in the jackpot expectation (waveform alert The big hit expectation in the production: production type B> production type A> waveform advance notice non-execution).

  Then, returning to FIG. 8-12, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the waveform advance notification effect has been determined in S81 SG 248 (S 81 SG 249). If it is determined in S81SG248 that the execution of the waveform advance presentation effect is determined, a value corresponding to the effect type determined in S81SG248 (“1” for effect type A, and if it is effect type B) in the waveform advance effect object flag of the entry "2" is set (S81 SG 250). Then, a value corresponding to non-execution of the hold display notice effect (that is, “0” indicating that the hold display is displayed in white) is set in the hold display notice effect target flag of the entry, and the prefetch notice setting process is performed. End (S81 SG 251).

  If the entry for which the waveform advance presentation object flag and the value of the suspension display advance presentation object flag are not determined is the second special view suspension storage (S81 SG 243), the waveform announcement effect object flag or the suspension display advance notification object flag When the value of “1” or “2” is set (S81SG245; Y or S81SG246; Y), when the non-execution of the waveform advance presentation is determined in S81SG248 (S81SG249; N), the waveform advance presentation of the entry is performed. Set "0" corresponding to the non-execution of the waveform advance presentation effect in the target flag (S81 SG 251) and a value corresponding to the non-execution of the suspension display advance presentation effect in the pending display advance presentation effect object flag of the entry (that is, Set “0” to indicate that the hold display is displayed in white, and finish the prefetch notice setting process (S81S 251).

In S81 SG 247, when the variation category designation command in the first special view suspension storage before the entry for which the values of the waveform advance presentation effect target flag and the suspension display advance presentation effect flag have not been determined yet has variation category specification commands other than non reach ( S81 SG 247; N) The effect control CPU 120 refers to the symbol designating command, and determines whether or not there is a pending storage as a big hit in the first special view pending storage before the entry (S81 SG 253). If there is no hold storage that will be a big hit in the first special view hold storage before the entry (S81 SG 253; N), extract a random number for hold display notice effect determination, symbol designation command of the entry, variation category command, not shown The presence / absence of execution of the hold display notice effect and the effect type (display mode of the hold display) are determined using the hold display notice effect determination table (S81 SG 254).
In the process of S81 SG 254, as shown in FIG. 8-14 (B), when the symbol designation command and the variation category indicate non-reach loss, the non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%, 5% It is determined that the on-hold display advance notice effect is to be performed in the effect type C at a rate of 0, and it is determined to execute on-hold display informing effect on the effect type D at a rate of 0%. In addition, when the symbol designation command and the fluctuation category indicate normal reach loss, the non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%, and the pending display notice effect is performed at a rate of 20% in the effect type C. It decides, and it decides to execute reservation indication notice production with production classification D with ratio of 0%. In addition, when the symbol designation command and the fluctuation category indicate a super reach loss, the non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 60%, and the pending display notice effect is performed at a rate of 30% in the effect type C. It decides, and it decides to execute reservation indication notice production with production classification D with ratio of 10%. Then, when the symbol designating command and the variation category indicate a big hit, the non-execution of the pending display notice effect is determined at a rate of 30%, and the pending display notice effect is determined to be performed at the effect type C at a rate of 10%. Then, it is decided to execute the on-hold display notice effect in the effect type D at a rate of 60%.

  The effect type C is an effect type (display mode) for displaying the on-hold display in blue, and the effect type D is an effect type (display mode) for displaying the on-hold display in red. As described above, when the hold display is displayed in red by determining the presence / absence of the execution of the hold display advance effect and the effect type, the change display of the notification target at a higher rate than in the case where the hold display is displayed in blue. The result is a big hit. That is, in the on-hold display notice effect, if the on-hold display notice effect is executed by D according to the effect, the big hit expectation is the highest, and if the on-hold display notice effect is not executed, the big hit expectation is low (The big hit expectation degree in pending display notice production: production type D> production type C> pending display notice production non-execution).

  Referring back to FIG. 8-13, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not execution of the on-hold display advance notification effect has been determined in S81 SG 254 (S 81 SG 255). When it is determined to execute the hold display advance notice effect in S81 SG 254 (S81 SG 255; Y), the hold display advance notice effect target flag of the entry has a value corresponding to the determined effect type (“1” for effect type C If it is type D, "2" is set (S81 SG256), and a value ("0") corresponding to non-execution of waveform advance presentation effect is set in the waveform advance presentation object flag of the entry to set prefetch advance notice The process ends (S81 SG 258).

  In S81 SG 253, the first special view pending storage before the entry for which the values of the waveform advance presentation object flag and the pending display advance presentation effect flag have not been determined has a pending storage that is a big hit, or in S 81 SG 254 When the non-execution is determined (S81 SG255; N), a value ("0") corresponding to non-execution of the suspension display advance presentation effect is set in the suspension display advance presentation effect flag of the entry (S81 SG257) and the waveform of the entry A value (“0”) corresponding to non-execution of waveform advance presentation effect is set in the advance effect target flag, and the preread advance notice setting process is ended (S81 SG258).

  Although the embodiment exemplifies a mode in which only one of the hold display notice effect and the waveform notice effect can be executed as the advance notice effect, the present invention is not limited to this. The pre-reading advance notice effect may be performed by overlapping the hold display advance notice effect and the waveform advance notice effect.

  Further, although the embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the effect type A and the effect type B are provided as the effect type of the waveform advance effect in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. As types, three or more types of effect types may be provided.

  Moreover, although the form which provides production | presentation type C and production | presentation type D as a production | presentation classification of pending | holding display advance production in this embodiment is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, and pending | displayed display prior art production | presentation As the effect type of, three or more effect types may be provided. Further, although the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the display color of the hold display for each effect type of the hold display advance effect is different, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect type of the hold display advance effect The size, shape, etc. of the hold display may be made different for each.

  Further, in the present embodiment, only the first special view reserve storage is set as the target of the advance read advance announcement effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second special view reserve storage is the second special view reserve storage It may be executed for

  FIGS. 8-15 is a flowchart which shows an example of the process performed in FIGS. 8-11 as a waveform advance presentation production | generation process in this Embodiment. 8-15, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the start winning winning reception command buffer 81SG194A (S81SG261), and the value of the waveform advance presentation object flag is “1” or “2”. It is determined whether or not there is an entry of, that is, whether or not there is an object pending storage of waveform advance presentation effects (S81 SG 262). When the value of the waveform advance presentation object flag does not have an entry of “1” or “2” (S81 SG 262; N), the waveform announcement effect execution processing is ended, and the value of the waveform advance presentation object flag is “1” or “2” If there is an entry of (S81SG262; Y), it is determined whether the buffer number of the entry for which the waveform advance presentation object flag is set to "1" or "2" is "1-1" (S81SG263) ).

  If the buffer number of the entry for which the waveform advance presentation object flag is set to “1” or “2” is “1-1” (S81SG263; Y), the process proceeds to S81SG264, and the waveform advance presentation object flag is “1” Or, if the buffer number of the entry set to "2" is "1-2" or later (S81 SG 263; N), a waveform advance announcement in progress flag indicating that waveform advance announcement execution is in progress is set. It is determined whether or not (S81 SG 265). If the waveform advance announcement effect execution flag is not set (S81 SG 265; N), the waveform advance announcement effect execution flag is set (S 81 SG 266). Then, a waveform advance presentation process table according to the type of effect (value of waveform advance presentation object flag) is selected (S81 SG 267), and a waveform advance presentation process timer is started (S 81 SG 268). In the present embodiment, a waveform advance notice process table corresponding to each effect type (effect type A and effect type B) is stored in advance in the ROM 121.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets and starts control of the effect device (image display device 5) according to the contents (display control execution data 1 etc.) of the first process data 1 of the waveform advance effect process table, and waveform advance effect The execution process is ended (S81 SG 269).

  On the other hand, if the waveform advance presentation in progress flag is set in S81 SG 265, the value of the waveform advance presentation process timer is decremented by 1 (S81 SG 270), and it is determined whether the waveform advance presentation process timer has timed out (S 81 SG 271). ). If the waveform advance presentation process timer has timed out, the waveform advance presentation process data is switched (S81 SG 272). That is, by setting the waveform advance presentation process timer setting value set next in the waveform advance presentation process table to the waveform advance presentation process timer, the waveform advance presentation process timer is started again (S81 SG 273). In addition, the control state for the rendering device (image display device 5) is changed based on the display control execution data and the like included in the waveform advance presentation process data set next to that (S81 SG 274), and the waveform advance presentation execution process is ended. Do.

  In S81SG 264, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not the value of the effect control process flag is a value according to the special image waiting process. If the value of the effect control process flag is not the value according to the special process waiting processing (S81 SG 264; N), the process proceeds to S 81 SG 265, and the value of the delivery control process flag is the value according to the special processing waiting process (S 81 SG 264) Y: clears the waveform advance presentation process timer and the waveform advance presentation in-progress flag (S81SG275 and S81SG276), and ends the waveform advance presentation execution process.

  8 to 16 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the variable display start setting process according to the present embodiment. In the variable display start process shown in FIG. 8-16, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the first change start command reception flag is set (S81 SG 281). When the first change start command reception flag is set (S81 SG 281; Y), the contents of the entry of buffer number “1-1” in the start winning reception command buffer 81 SG 194 A is copied to the active display buffer 81 SG 194 B (update storage) (S81SG282a), various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “1-1” to “1-4” of the first special view reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer 81SG194A, the buffer The number is shifted upward by one (S81 SG 282 b). The contents of the buffer number “1-1” are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  If the first change start command reception flag is not set (S81 SG 281; N), it is determined whether the second change start command reception flag is set (S 81 SG 283). When the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (S81SG283; Y), the contents of the entry of buffer number "2-1" in start winning combination reception command buffer 81SG194A is copied to active display buffer 81SG194B (update storage) (S81SG284a), the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-1” to “2-4” of the second special view reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer 81SG194A, The number is shifted upward by one (S81 SG 284 b). The contents of the buffer number "2-1" are erased because they can not be shifted because there is no shift destination.

  If the second variation start command reception flag is not set (S81SG 283; N), the variable display start setting process is ended.

  After the execution of S81SG 282 b or S81 SG 284 b, the effect control CPU 120 reads the fluctuation pattern designation command from the fluctuation pattern designation command storage area (S81 SG 285).

  Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative pattern is determined according to the data stored in the display result specification command storage area (that is, the received display result specification command) (S81 SG 286). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol according to the display result designated by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area Do.

  In the present embodiment, when the received variable display result specification command is the second variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, has 3 symbols “7 as a stop symbol. Decide on the combination of the decoration patterns (big hit designs) that you have aligned in "". In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation big hit B, as a stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd symbols other than "7" (for example, "111", It is determined from “combination of decorative designs such as“ 333 ”,“ 555 ”,“ 999 ”and the like. In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probable variable big hit, the effect control CPU 120, for example, as a stop design, the decorative design of 3 symbols aligned with even symbols Determine the combination (big hit design). Further, when the received variable display result specification command is a first variable display result specification command corresponding to a loss, a combination (loss symbol) of decorative symbols in which three symbols are uneven as a stop symbol is determined.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, random numbers for determining the stop symbols, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating combinations of decorative symbols are associated with numerical values. It is sufficient to determine the stop pattern of the decorative pattern. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating the combination of the decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value matching the extracted random number.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not there is an entry in the start-up winning reception command buffer 81SG194A for which the value of the hold display advance notice effect target flag or the waveform advance notice effect target flag is “1” or “2”. It is determined whether the display preview effect or the waveform preview effect is being executed (S81 SG 287). If the pending display advance effect or the waveform advance effect is not being executed (S81 SG 287; N), whether or not to execute the active display area change effect for changing the display mode of the active display area 81 SG 5 F during the variable display Development destination indication production determination processing (S81SG289) for determining the active display area change production determination process to be determined (S81 SG 288) and the presentation pattern of development destination suggestion production that suggests the reach production (reach production for development destination) to be executed in the variable display ) And the process proceeds to S81 SG290. When the pending display advance presentation effect or the waveform advance presentation effect is being executed (S81SG287; Y), the process proceeds to the processing of S81SG290 without passing through the processing of S81SG288 and S81SG289.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the process of S81SG290, one process table is selected according to the presence or absence of the execution of the effect to be executed during the variable display and the effect type of each effect, and the one process table is selected. Although the form which starts change display using is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is a process table for exclusive use for every production type of existence of execution performed during change display, and each production classification May be selected, and the variable display may be started using each process table.

  That is, during the variable display, as will be described later (see FIG. 8-27), the action effect and the vibration display effect are executed as an integral effect, but the process table for the action effect and the vibration display effect The action presentation and the vibration display presentation may be individually performed by selecting each of the process tables. In addition, this is the same also in suggestion production, active display area change production, development destination suggestion production, and the like.

  In S81 SG290, the CPU for effect control 120 processes the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation pattern specification command) and the indication effect to be described later, the start display effect, the action effect, the active display area change effect, the development destination indication effect, Select a table Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S81SG292).

  In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and for controlling the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, etc. are sequentially arranged in time series in correspondence with each process data n (from 1 to N) There is.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 displays an image as an effect component according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1) The control of the device 5, the various lamps as presentation parts, the speakers 8L and 8R as presentation parts, and the operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (S81SG293). For example, in order to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern on the image display device 5, an instruction is output to the display control unit 123. Further, in order to control various lamps to turn on / off, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. In addition, in order to perform audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU for effect control 120 controls so that the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol is performed by the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command in a one-to-one manner, but the CPU for production control 120 controls the fluctuation pattern The variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the designated command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (S81SG 294). Further, a predetermined time is set to the fluctuation control timer (S81 SG 295). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left middle right decorative pattern to the VRAM every time the predetermined time passes, and the display control unit 123 writes the VRAM A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image according to the signal, whereby the variation of the decorative design is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the variable display effect process (S172) (S81 SG 296).

  FIGS. 8-17 is a flowchart which shows an example of the active display area change presentation determination processing in this Embodiment. In the active display area change effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-17, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the variation pattern designation command read in S81 SG 285 or the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (display result designation command) The fluctuation display result and the fluctuation pattern are specified by referring to (S81 SG301). Then, the effect control CPU 120 extracts the active display area change effect determination random number and determines the presence / absence of the execution of the active display area change effect and the effect type using the active display area change effect determination table (not shown) (S81 SG302 ).

  In the process of S81SG302, as shown in FIG. 8-18 (A), when the variation display result is non-reach losing, the non-execution of the active display area change presentation is determined at a ratio of 95%, and the ratio of 5% It decides to execute the active display area change effect with the effect type α, and decides to execute the active display area change effect with the effect type β at a rate of 0%. Also, when the variation display result is normal reach loss, the execution of the active display area change presentation is determined at a rate of 70%, and it is determined that the active display area change presentation is performed at the presentation type α at a rate of 25%. It is decided to execute the active display area change effect with the effect type β at a rate of 5%. Also, when the variation display result is a super reach loss, the execution of the active display area change presentation is determined at a rate of 50%, and the execution of the active display area change presentation at a rate of 35% is determined by the presentation type α It is decided to execute the active display area change effect with the effect type β at a rate of 15%. Also, if the variation display result is a big hit, the execution of the active display area change presentation is determined at a rate of 0%, and it is determined that the active display area change presentation is performed at a rate of 25% by the presentation type α, It is decided to execute the active display area change presentation with the presentation type β at a rate of 75%.

  The effect type α is an effect type (display mode) for displaying the active display area 81SG5F in blue, and the effect type β is an effect type (display mode) for displaying the active display area 81SG5F in red. is there. Thus, when the active display area 81SG5F is displayed in red by determining the presence / absence of the execution of the active display area change presentation and the effect type, the ratio is higher than when the active display area 81SG5F is displayed in blue. The fluctuation display result is a big hit. That is, in the active display area change presentation, the case where the active display area change presentation is executed by the presentation type β is the highest in the big hit expectation, and the case where the active display area change presentation is not executed is the lowest in the big hit expectation It is being done (a big hit expectation in active display area change production: production type β> production type α> active display area change production non-execution).

  Although the embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the active display change effect is always executed when the variable display result is a big hit in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display result is Even if it is a big hit, a case may be provided in which non-execution of the active display change presentation is determined.

  Then, returning to FIG. 8-17, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the active display area change effect has been determined in S81 SG 302 (S 81 SG 303). When the execution of the active display area change presentation is determined in S81 SG302 (S81 SG303; Y), the determined effect display area change presentation performance type is stored, and the active display area change presentation effect 81SG5F is executed when the active display area change presentation is executed. The execution of action presentation (refer to FIG. 8-27) and vibration display presentation for vibrating the image displayed on the image display 5 together with the action presentation is determined (S81 SG 305). Furthermore, the execution of the suggestion effect that suggests that the active display area change effect is to be performed is determined by flying the above-mentioned eyelid 81 SG 603 toward the active display area 81 SG 5 F, and the active display area change effect determination process is ended ( S81 SG 306).

  On the other hand, when the non-execution of the active display area change presentation is determined in S81SG302 (S81SG303; N), the CPU 120 for presentation control extracts a random number for the presentation presentation execution decision, and suggests using the suggestion presentation execution decision table not shown. The presence or absence of execution of the effect is determined (S81 SG 307).

  In the process of S81 SG307, as shown in FIG. 8-18 (B), when the variation display result is non-reach losing, the execution of the suggested rendering is determined at a rate of 5%, and the percentage of the suggested rendering is Decide not to execute. Also, when the variable display result is normal reach loss, the execution of the suggested rendering is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-execution of the suggested rendering is determined at a rate of 80%. Then, when the variable display result is a super reach loss, the execution of the suggested effect is determined at a rate of 50%, and the non-execution of the suggested effect is determined at a rate of 50%.

  Returning to FIG. 8-17, the effect control CPU 120 stores the determination content (execution or non-execution of suggestion effect) in S81 SG 307, and ends the active display change effect determination process.

  8-19 is a flowchart showing an example of the development destination suggestion effect determination process according to the present embodiment. In the development destination suggestion effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-19, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display is a fluctuation pattern of super reach (S81 SG311). If the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display is not the fluctuation pattern of super reach (S81 SG311; N), the development destination suggestion effect determination process is ended, and the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation display is the fluctuation pattern of super reach (S81 SG 311; Y ) Extracts the development destination suggestion effect determination random number, and uses the development destination suggestion effect determination table (not shown) to execute the development destination suggestion effect according to the variation display result according to the variation display result. And the second development destination suggestion effect (S81 SG 312).

  In the process of S81 SG 312, as shown in FIG. 8-20, when the variation display result is a loss (super reach loss), the execution of the first development destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 10%, and 90% Decide on the execution of the second development destination suggestion effect in proportion. If the variable display result is a big hit, the execution of the first development destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 90%, and the execution of the second development destination suggestion effect is determined at a rate of 90%. In other words, in the development destination indication production, when the first development destination indication production is performed, the big hit expectation is set higher than the case where the second development destination indication production is performed (in the development destination indication production Big hit Expectation degree: 1st development destination indication production> 2nd development destination suggestion production).

  Note that the first development destination suggestion effect is a spherical pseudo-active display 81 SG 700 (see FIGS. 8-29) in which the active display area 81 SG 5 F has the same diameter as that of the active display area 81 SG 5 F in a period before reach effect in the variable display. After moving to the center of the display screen of the image display device 5 as above, the shutter 81 SG 701 displayed on the image display device 5 is continuously broken through, and the number of shutters 81 SG 701 that has broken through is the development destination It is an effect that suggests Further, in the second development destination suggestion effect, the active display area 81SG5F has a spherical pseudo active display 81SG 700 (see FIG. 8-29) in the center of the display screen of the image display device 5 in the period before the reach effect in the variable display. After moving, the shutter 81 SG 701 displayed on the image display device 5 is broken through one sheet, and the roulette (see FIGS. 8 to 30) is an effect that suggests a development destination (reach effect of super reach to be executed).

  Although the pseudo active display 81SG700 in this embodiment exemplifies a spherical form having the same diameter as the active display area 81SG5F, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pseudo active display 81SG700 is active. It may be a display similar to the display area 81SG5F at least in part. That is, the “specific display (active display area 81SG5F) and the special display (pseudo active display 81SG700) at least a part of which is similar to the specific display (active display area 81SG5F)” in the present invention have the same shape, size and color as the active display area 81SG5F A pseudo active display 81 SG 700, a pseudo active display 81 SG 700 similar to the active display area 81 SG 5 F, and the like are included.

  Returning to FIG. 8-19, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the first development destination suggestion effect has been determined in S81 SG 312 (S 81 SG 313). When the execution of the first development destination suggestion effect is determined in S81 SG 312 (S81 SG 313; Y), the effect pattern of the first development destination suggestion effect is determined as the effect pattern corresponding to the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display Then, the development destination suggestion effect determination process is ended (S81 SG 314). If it is determined in S81 SG 312 that the second development destination suggestion effect is to be executed (S81 SG 313; N), the second development destination suggestion effect is selected as the effect pattern corresponding to the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display. The development destination suggestion effect determination process is ended (S81 SG 315).

  In the process of S81 SG 314, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 (A) and 8-21 (C), when the reach effect to be initially executed in the variable display is the reach effect of super reach A, The pseudo active display breaks through 10 shutters 81 SG 701, and the display mode of the pseudo active display is finally red (white to blue when the first shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through, blue to green when the fourth shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through, 7 The effect pattern A is determined to be green to purple at the time of the shutter 81 SG 701 for the sheet, and purple to red for the shutter 81 SG 701 for the tenth sheet. If the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach B, the pseudo active display breaks nine shutters 81 SG 701 (the tenth shutter 81 SG 701 fails to break through) and the pseudo active display The display pattern is finally purple (from white to blue when the first shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through, from blue to green when the fourth shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through, from green to purple when the seventh shutter 81 SG 701 breaks). Decide to B.

  If the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach C, the pseudo active display breaks seven shutters 81 SG 701 (the eighth shutter 81 SG 701 fails the breakthrough), and the pseudo active display Is determined as the effect pattern C in which the display mode is finally green (white to blue when the first shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through, blue to green when the fourth shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through). If the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach D or Super Reach E, the pseudo active display breaks through three shutters 81 SG 701 (the fourth shutter 81 SG 701 fails to break through). The effect pattern D in which the display mode of the pseudo active display finally becomes blue (from white to blue 4 when the first shutter 81 SG 701 breaks through) is determined. That is, in the first development destination indication effect in the present embodiment, the color of the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 changes stepwise, and the selection ratio of each reach effect differs depending on the final color of the pseudo active display 81 SG 700. In addition, according to the number of shutters 81 SG 701 that the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 breaks through, the degree of expectation for hitting is different.

  In the present embodiment, when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is any of the super reach A to the super reach C, the first development suggestion effect is performed in the effect pattern corresponding to each reach effect. If the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of the super reach D or the super reach E while executing, the variable display is performed by executing the first development suggestion effect in the effect pattern D In the example, the player can not distinguish between the reach effect of the super reach D and the super reach E, which is the first to be executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Even when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is Super Reach D or Super Reach E, each reach effect By the corresponding effect pattern may be executed the first development suggests director.

  On the other hand, in the process of S81 SG 315, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 (B) and 8-21 (C), when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach A, In the roulette after the pseudo-active display breaks through one shutter 81 SG 701, the effect pattern E is selected such that the roulette stops at the option of “super reach A”. In addition, when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach B, in the roulette after the pseudo active display breaks through one shutter 81 SG 701, the roulette is an option of “Super Reach B” The effect pattern F to be stopped is determined. In addition, when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach C, in the roulette after the pseudo active display breaks through one shutter 81 SG 701, the roulette is an option of “Super Reach C” The effect pattern G to be stopped is determined.

  In addition, when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach E, in the roulette after the pseudo active display breaks through one shutter 81 SG 701, the roulette is an option of “Super Reach E”. The effect pattern H to be stopped is determined. In addition, when the reach effect to be executed first in the variable display is the reach effect of Super Reach D, in the roulette after the pseudo active display breaks through one shutter 81 SG 701, the roulette is an option of “Super Reach E”. The effect pattern I to be stopped is determined.

  In addition, about each production pattern of the development destination suggestion production in this embodiment, the big hit expectation degree (reliability) of the reach production performed in the said fluctuation display, the 1st development destination suggestion production, and the 2nd development destination suggestion production It is set so that the big hit expectation degree becomes low in the order of the production pattern B, the production pattern C, ... the production pattern H, the production pattern I, since the big hit expectation of the production pattern A is the highest due to the relationship between the big hit expectation with (A big hit expectation: production pattern A> production pattern B> production pattern C> production pattern D> production pattern E> production pattern F> production pattern G> production pattern H> production pattern I).

  FIGS. 8-22 is a flowchart which shows an example of an effect processing in a variable display in this Embodiment. In the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 8-22, the effect control CPU 120 first decrements the values of the process timer, the fluctuation time timer, and the fluctuation control timer by one (S81SG401, S81SG402, S81SG403). Further, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the process timer has timed out (S81 SG 404). If the process timer has timed out, the process data is switched (S81 SG 405). That is, the process timer is newly started by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table to the process timer (S81 SG 406). Further, the control state of the rendering device (the component for effect) is changed based on the display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc. set next to the display control execution data (S81SG407). On the other hand, when the process timer has not timed out, the rendering device (for presentation) is performed according to the contents of the process data (display control execution data, lamp control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data etc.) corresponding to the process timer. The control of the component is executed (S81 SG 408).

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the light emission start timing of the active display area 81SG 5F with reference to the process data being executed (S81SG409). If it is the light emission start timing of the active display area 81SG5F (S81SG409; Y), the light emission display of the active display area 81SG5F is started according to the content of the process data, and the process proceeds to S81SG411 (S81SG410). If it is not the light emission start timing of the active display area 81SG5F, the process proceeds to S81SG411 without executing S81SG410.

  In addition, in S81 SG411, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is during the execution period of the suggested effect. When it is in the execution period of the suggestion effect (S81SG411; Y), the suggestion effect is executed according to the contents of the process data, and the process proceeds to S81SG413 (S81SG412). In addition, when it is not in the execution period of the suggestion effect (S81SG411; N), it does not execute S81SG412 and proceeds to S81SG413.

  In S81SG413, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not the vibration display effect is being executed. When it is during the execution period of the vibration display effect (S81 SG413; Y). The start display effect is executed according to the content of the process data, and the process proceeds to S81 SG 415 (S 81 SG 414). If the vibration display effect is not being performed (S81SG413; N), the process proceeds to S81SG415 without executing S81SG414.

  When the vibration display effect is performed as in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-24 (A) and 8-24 (B), the display of the image display device 5 in the frame buffer area 81 SG 501. A display area 81 SG 503 for displaying an image on the screen and a drawing area 81 SG 502 for drawing an image to be displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 are provided. Then, when the vibration display effect is not performed, an image is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 by arranging the drawing area 81SG 502 and the display area 81SG 503 in the same position of the frame buffer area 81SG 501 in an overlapping manner. Then, at the time of execution of the vibration display effect, the image is horizontally or vertically displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5 by moving the drawing area 81SG 502 on the frame buffer area 81SG 501 to the left or right (or up and down) It may be displayed as vibrating. As shown in FIG. 8-24 (B), when the vibration display effect is executed, no image is drawn at the end of the display area 81SG 503 by moving the drawing area 81SG 502 with respect to the display area 81SG 503. Although the non-drawing area 81 SG 504 is formed, the position corresponding to the non-drawing area 81 SG 504 on the display screen of the image display device 5 may be displayed in black, for example.

  Returning to FIG. 8-22, the CPU for effect control 120 determines in S81 SG 415 whether or not an effect period is under execution. If it is in the execution period of the operation effect (S81SG415; Y), the operation effect is executed according to the contents of the process data and the process proceeds to S81SG417 (S81SG416). If the operation period of the operation effect is not in progress (S81SG415; N) Proceed to S81 SG 417 without executing.

  In S81SG417, the CPU for effect control 120 determines whether or not it is the change timing (the execution timing of the active display area change effect) of the display mode of the active display area 81SG5F. When it is the change timing of the display mode of the active display area 81SG5F (S81SG417; Y), the active display area according to the determined effect type (effect type α or effect type β shown in FIG. 8-18 (A)) The display mode of the 81SG 5F is changed, and the process proceeds to S81Sg421 (S81SG418). When it is not the change timing of the display mode of the active display area 81SG5F (S81SG417; N), the process proceeds to S81SG421 without executing S81SG418.

  In addition, in S81SG421, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is the light emission end timing of the active display area 81SG5F. If it is the light emission end timing of the active display area 81SG5F (S81SG421; Y), the light emission display of the active display area 81SG5F is ended according to the contents of the process data, and the process proceeds to S81SG423 (S81SG422). When it is not the light emission end timing of the active display area 81SG5F (S81SG421; N), the process proceeds to S81SG423 without executing S81SG422.

  In addition, in S81 SG 423, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is an execution start timing of the development destination indication effect. When it is the execution start timing of the development destination suggestion effect (S81SG423; Y), the display of the pseudo active display 81SG700 is started, and the first hold storage display area 81SG5D, the second hold storage display area 81SG5U and the active display area 81SG5F Non-display is started, and the process proceeds to S81 SG 430 (S 81 SG 424, S 81 SG 425).

  In S81SG423, when it is not the execution start timing of the development destination suggestion effect (S81SG423; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the development destination suggestion effect is being executed (S81SG426). If it is in the execution period of the development destination suggestion effect (S81 SG 426; Y), it is further determined whether it is the end timing of the development destination suggestion effect (S 81 SG 427). If it is not the end timing of the development destination suggestion effect (S81 SG 427; N), the development destination suggestion effect is executed according to the contents of the process data, and the process proceeds to S81 SG 430. End the non-display of the first reserve storage display area 81SG5D, the second reserve storage display area 81SG5U and the active display area 81SG5F (Redisplay the first reserve storage display area 81SG5D, the second reserve storage display area 81SG5U and the active display area 81SG5F ) And proceed to S81 SG 430 (S81 SG 429).

  If it is not in the execution period of the development destination suggestion effect in S81 SG 426 (S 81 SG 426; N), the process proceeds to S 81 SG 430 without executing any processing of S 81 SG 427 to S 81 SG 429.

  In S81 SG430, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the fluctuation control timer has timed out. If the fluctuation control timer has timed out (SS81 SG430; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left middle right decoration pattern (displayed 30 ms after the display change time of the previous decoration pattern) Image data of the screen to be created is written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (SS81 SG 431). As such, in the image display device 5, variation control of the decorative symbol is realized. The display control unit 123 sends a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined region such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in the process table to the image display device 5. Output. As such, in the image display device 5, the background image, the character image, and the decorative pattern in the fluctuation of the decorative pattern are displayed. Further, a predetermined value is reset to the fluctuation control timer (SS81 SG432).

  When the fluctuation control timer has not timed out (S81SG430; N), after executing S81SG432, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the fluctuation time timer has timed out (S81SG433). If the fluctuation time timer has timed out, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value according to the special processing waiting process (S81 SG 435). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol determination specification command has been received is set (S81 SG 434; Y), the value of the effect control process flag is waited for processing per special drawing It updates to the value according to (S81SG435). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not timed out, the control shifts to control to stop the fluctuation when the symbol determination designation command is received. For example, the fluctuation pattern designation command showing a long fluctuation time due to noise etc. between boards Even when it is received, the variation of the decorative symbol can be ended when the regular variation time has elapsed (when the variation of the special symbol is finished).

  As described above, during the variable display in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 (A) and 8-23 (B), when the variable display is started, the light emission of the active display area 81SG5F is When the light emission of the active display area 81SG5F is ended, the variable display is ended. That is, in the present embodiment, during the light emission of the active display area 81SG5F, since the variable display is being executed, the player is executing the variable display by recognizing the light emission of the active display area 81SG5F. It is possible to recognize

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (B), in the operation presentation in the present embodiment, the first operation presentation that the eyebrow 81 SG 603 is stuck in the active display area 81 SG 5 F, and the operation presentation area 81 SG 5 F after the first operation produced The second action effect is such that an effect display 81SG 603a (see FIG. 8-28) is additionally displayed on the eyelid 81SG 603. Furthermore, during the execution period of the effect presentation in the present embodiment, the vibration display presentation is performed in an overlapping manner.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (B), the vibration display effect starts from the execution period of the first effect effect and ends at the end timing of the second effect effect. In addition, the overlapping execution period L2 of the vibration display effect and the second effect production is longer than the overlapping execution period L1 of the vibration display effect and the first operation effect, and the magnitude of the vibration of the vibration display effect in the overlapping execution period L2 Is larger than the magnitude of the vibration of the vibration display effect in the overlapping execution period L1. That is, during the execution period of the action effect in the present embodiment, the entire image displayed on the image display device 5 vibrates small over the period L1 in response to the eyelid 81SG 603 being stuck in the active display area 81SG5F. Then, over the period L 2 (L 2> L 1), the effect display 81 SG 603 a is additionally displayed on the eyelid 81 SG 603 and the entire image displayed on the image display device 5 vibrates largely.

(Display mode during change)
Next, the display mode of the image display device 5 during the variable display will be described based on FIGS. 8-25 to 8-30.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8-25 (A) to FIG. 8-25 (E), the game ball is displayed on the first start winning opening during the execution of the variable display in the state where one or more first special view reserve memories exist. Is a prize, and when the retention memory generated by the start prize is determined as the target of the waveform advance notice effect (determination of execution of the waveform advance notice effect), a new hold indication is additionally displayed in the first hold storage display area 81SG5D. The waveform advance notice effect is started in the active display area 81SG5F. As described above, when the effect type of the waveform advance notice effect is determined to be the effect type A, repeated display of the sawtooth 81 SG 601 (waveform: small) with small amplitude is started in the active display area 81 SG 5 F, When the effect type of the waveform advance notice effect is determined to be the effect type B, repeated display of the sawtooth wave (waveform: large) with large amplitude is started in the active display area 81SG5F.

  As shown in FIG. 8-26 (F) to FIG. 8-26 (H), these waveform advance notice effects are immediately before the start of the fluctuation display based on the pending storage which is the object of the waveform advance notice effect (target of the waveform advance notice effect Ending at the time when the variable display immediately before the variable display based on the pending storage ends. Although not shown in the figure, when the pending storage generated by the start winning is determined to be the target of the pending display notice effect (execution of the pending display notice effect is determined), the pending display notice effect in the first pending storage display area 81SG5D The hold display of the color according to the effect classification of is displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8-27 (I) to FIG. 8-27 (N), when a new variable display is started, a plurality of bales 81 SG 603 fly toward the active display area 81 SG 5 F as a suggested effect. Is executed. At this time, when non-execution of the active display area change effect is determined in the variable display, the eyelid 81SG 603 is repelled without sticking to the active display area 81SG 5F (action) and the variable display is continued. On the other hand, when the execution of the active display area change presentation is determined in the variable display, an image displayed on the image display device 5 with the eyelid 81SG603 bites (acts) the active display area 81SG5F as the first operation presentation. The whole vibrates slightly to the left and right. That is, as shown in FIG. 8-27 (K), the suggested effect in the present embodiment includes the first mode (failure pattern) indicating that the first operation effect is not executed, and FIGS. And a second mode (success pattern) indicating that the first effect presentation is performed as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8-28 (P) to FIG. 8-28 (S), when the effect display 81SG 603 a is additionally displayed on the eyelid 81 SG 603 stuck in the active display area 81 SG 5 F as the second action effect, the image display device 5 The whole image displayed on the screen vibrates to the left and right. Finally, the display mode of the active display area 81SG5F changes to a display mode (blue for effect type α, red for effect type β) according to the effect type of the active display area change effect.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8-29 (T) to FIG. 8-29 (V), when the variable display is a variable display due to the change pattern of the super reach, the decorative symbol is displayed in a combination indicating the reach The display mode of the active display area 81SG5F returns to the display mode (white display) before the active display area change effect. Then, the display of spherical pseudo active display 81 SG 700 having the same color and the same radius as active display area 81 SG 5 F is started at the center of the display screen of image display device 5 (active display area 81 SG 5 F rises and changes to pseudo active display 81 SH 700 ), The first hold storage display area 81SG5D, the second hold storage display area 81SG5U, and the active display area 81SG5F are hidden. In addition, the shutter 81 SG 701 is displayed behind the pseudo active display, and a development destination suggestion effect is started. That is, the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 is displayed at a position above the active display area 81 SG 5 F (the center in the horizontal width direction and the center in the vertical width direction) in the image display device 5. Improves the visibility of

  When the started development destination suggestion effect is a first development destination effect, as shown in FIG. 8-29 (W) to FIG. 8-29 (Y), a pseudo active display as the first development suggestion effect An effect is performed in which the 81SG 700 continuously breaks through the shutter 81SG 701. When the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 breaks through the shutter 81 SG 701, the effect display 81 SG 702 is displayed around the pseudo active display 81 SG 700. Therefore, the player visually recognizes the effect display 81 SG 702 to perform pseudo active It is possible to recognize that the display 81SG700 has passed through the shutter 81SG701.

  In addition, in the pseudo active display 81SG700, the display mode changes in accordance with the number of breakthroughs of the shutter 81SG701. Specifically, when the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 breaks through the first shutter 81 SG 701, the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 changes from white to a blue pseudo active display 81 SG 700 a. When the pseudo active display 81SG 700 a breaks through the fourth shutter 81 SG 701, the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 a changes from blue to green pseudo active display 81 SG 700 b. Then, when the pseudo active display 81SG 700 b breaks through the seventh shutter 81 SG 701, the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 b changes from green to a pseudo active display 81 SG 700 c of purple.

  Further, although not shown, when the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 c breaks through the tenth shutter 81 SG 701, the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 c changes from purple to red pseudo active display. In this manner, the display mode (display color) of the pseudo active display 81SG 700 is changed according to the number of shutters 81 SG 701 that break through or the number of shutters 81 SG 701 that break through, so that it is executed after the first development destination suggestion effect. It is possible to suggest reach production.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8-29 (V) and FIGS. 8-30 (Z-1) to 8-30 (Z-3), the started development destination suggestion effect is the second development destination suggestion effect In this case, after the pseudo active display 81 SG 700 breaks through the first shutter 81 SG 701, options 81 SG 71 1 to 81 SG 715 of reach effect that may be executed after the second development destination suggestion effect are displayed as roulette. The roulette fluctuation in which the options 81SG711 to 81SG715 sequentially emit light is started. Then, when the roulette fluctuation is executed over a predetermined period, one option finally emits light (the roulette stops (in the example of FIG. 8-30, “stop at option 81 Sg 711 corresponding to super reach A)), In the present embodiment, a form is shown in which a plurality of options are displayed as the roulette for the second development suggestion effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. The plurality of options may be displayed so that the display area of the pseudo active display 81SG 700 in the image display device 5 does not overlap, and the player may easily identify the options. Also, these options are displayed so as to overlap with the display area of the pseudo active display 81SG 700 in the image display device 5, and the player can select these options. It may be able to recognize without greatly moved the line.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to execute an action effect in which the eyelid 81SG603 is stuck (functions) in the active display area 81SG5F and when the eyelid 81SG603 is stuck in the active display area 81SG5F Since it is possible to execute a vibration display effect as a visibility change effect for changing the visibility of the image display device 5, the effect can be improved by the synergetic effect of the operation effect and the vibration display effect, and the game is entertaining It can improve.

  In the present embodiment, as the visibility change effect, a mode is described in which the vibration display effect for vibrating the entire image displayed on the image display device 5 is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the vibration display effect may be an effect that vibrates only a part of the image displayed on the image display device 5 (for example, only the active display area 81SG 5F is vibrated).

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as the visibility change effect, a mode is described in which the vibration display effect for vibrating the entire image displayed on the image display device 5 is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The visibility change effect may be, for example, an effect of enlarging or reducing the image displayed on the image display device 5, an effect of changing the lightness of the image displayed on the image display device 5, or the effect on the image display device 5. It may be an effect of inverting the displayed image horizontally or vertically.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-27 and FIG. 8-28, the second vibration display having a larger vibration width than the first vibration display effect and the first vibration display effect accompanying the execution of the action effect. Although the form which continues and performs production is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is good also as what can perform separately the 1st vibration display production and the 2nd vibration display production. In the case where the first vibration display effect and the second vibration display effect can be performed individually, depending on which of the first vibration display effect and the second vibration display effect is executed along with the execution of the operation effect. The jackpot expectation may be different. By doing this, since the correlation between the vibration width (the force of the vibration display effect) and the big hit expectation in the vibration display effect can be made, the player can be made to pay attention to the vibration width in the vibration display effect I can improve the game interest.

The presentation mode when the pseudo active display 81SG 700 breaks through the shutter 81 SG 701 may be the same.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention may be modified or added without departing from the scope of the present invention. include.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the action presentation is performed for the active display area 81SG5F, and the color of the active display area 81SG5F is changed as the presentation result of the action presentation. As shown in 31, the effect presentation acting on any one of the suspension displays displayed in the first suspension storage display area 81SG5D or the second suspension storage display area 81SG5U is executed, and the suspension display is performed as a result of the operation presentation. It may be possible to execute a pending change presentation that changes the display mode.

  Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (A), the character 81SG930 is displayed during the execution of the variable display as an effect, and the character 81SG930 displays the color ball 81SG931 as the first hold storage display area 81SG5D. In the first display mode (white circle), an effect of throwing toward the hold display displayed in the first display mode (white circle) is executed. When it is determined that the display mode of the hold storage display is changed from the first display mode to the second display mode (blue or red round shape) as the effect presentation and the suspension change presentation, as shown in FIG. As shown in -31 (A) to FIG. 8-31 (C), the display mode of the hold display changes from the first display mode to the second display mode when the color ball 81SG931 thrown by the character 81 SG 930 collides with the hold display. When it is not determined to change the display mode of the hold display from the first display mode to the second display mode by executing the first pattern that changes, as shown in FIG. B) and as shown in FIG. 8-31D, the color ball 81 SG 931 thrown by the character 81 SG 930 collides with the hold display but the display mode of the bounce hold display does not change from the first display mode It may be executed in the pattern.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (B), the speed of the color ball 81SG931 is reduced at the same timing in the case where the action effect and the suspension change effect are performed in the first pattern and in the case where they are performed in the second pattern. By starting (deceleration control), the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the display mode of the hold display changes from the first display mode to the second display mode by the color ball 81SG 931, and the fun of the game is It can improve.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (B), when the speed of the action display is decelerated and displayed, the display mode other than the hold display, the active display area 81SG5F, and the color ball 81SG931 is decelerated and displayed. Unlike the display mode, by displaying dimly, it is possible to change the action display to improve the interest of the game and to effectively tell whether the target hold display changes.

  In the first modification, an example is illustrated in which the speed of the color ball 81SG 931 is reduced at the same timing in the case of executing the effect presentation and the suspension change presentation in the first pattern and in the case of executing the second pattern. The present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of display positions of the character 81SG930 and a plurality of display modes of the character 81SG930 are provided, and the position where the character 81SG930 is displayed or the display mode of the character 81SG930 is suspended. The rate at which the display mode of the memory display changes from the first display mode to the second display mode may be different.

  Furthermore, in the first modification, as shown in FIG. 8-31 (B), when the speed of the action display is decelerated and displayed, display modes other than the hold display or the active display area 81SG5F and the color ball 81SG931 are used. The present embodiment exemplifies a dim display mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when the speed of the action display is decelerated and displayed, the hold display or the display of the active display area 81SG5F, the display of the color ball 81SG931 The aspect may be displayed dimmed, or the entire image displayed on the image display device 5 may be displayed dimmed.

  Moreover, in the first modification, a plurality of display modes may be provided as a change mode of the hold display when the effect presentation and the hold change presentation are performed in the first pattern. Furthermore, in the case where a plurality of display modes are provided as the change mode of the suspension display when the effect presentation and the suspension change presentation are executed in the first pattern as described above, FIGS. 8-32 (A) and 8-32 (B) By using the pending change mode determination table as shown in the table, the ratio at which the variable display result corresponding to the pending display subjected to the action presentation and the pending change presentation becomes a big hit differs according to the change mode of the pending display You may do so.

  Furthermore, in the first modification, the mode of executing the speed deceleration (deceleration control) of the color ball 81SG 931 is executed in the case of executing the effect presentation and the suspension change presentation in the first pattern and in the case of executing the second pattern. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a period to execute the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG931, the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG931 over a plurality of periods (for example, 3 seconds) In the case where the speed of the color ball 81SG 931 is reduced over the period of 5 seconds, it may be provided.

  As described above, when providing a plurality of periods as the period for executing the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG 931, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 (A) and 8-33 (B), the effect presentation and the hold change presentation are performed. When executing with the first pattern, the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG931 is performed over a long period (for example, 5 seconds) at a higher rate than when performing the effect presentation and the hold change presentation with the second pattern. May be By doing this, if the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG931 is performed over a long period (for example, 5 seconds), the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG931 for a short period (for example, 3 seconds) Since the action effect and the hold change effect are executed in the first pattern at a higher rate than in the case where they are executed (the display mode of the hold display changes), the player can execute the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG 931 To make the game more interesting.

  In the first modification, when the effect presentation and the hold change effect are executed in the first pattern, the long period (for example, 5) is higher than in the case where the action effect and the hold change effect are performed in the second pattern. Although the mode of executing the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG 931 is illustrated over the second), the present invention is not limited to this, and when performing the operation effect and the hold change effect in the first pattern May execute the speed reduction of the color ball 81SG 931 over a short period (for example, 3 seconds) at a higher rate than when performing the effect presentation and the hold change presentation in the second pattern.

  Further, in the first modification, the on-hold change effect is executed as the effect on the on-hold display, and in the embodiment, the active display area change effect is executed as the effect on the active display area 81SG5F. The present invention is not limited to this, and the hold change presentation and the active display area change presentation may be performed simultaneously. Further, in the on-hold change effect and the active display area change effect, the jackpot expectation may be different depending on which effect is executed, and the display mode of the on-hold display changes in the on-hold change effect. The ratio and the ratio at which the display mode of the active display area 81SG5F changes in the active display area change effect may be different.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the form which can perform an operation production and a vibration display production is shown during the fluctuation display of 1, this invention is not limited to this, As a modification 2, these In addition to the effect presentation and the vibration display effect, an effect targeting the active display area 81SG5F (for example, an effect for changing the size and shape of the active display area 81SG5F, etc.) can be executed during the variable display of 1 It may be possible to make the player pay attention to how many effects are executed during the variable display. Furthermore, when it is possible to execute an operation effect, a vibration display effect, and an effect directed to the active display area 81SG5F during the variable display of 1, the operation is carried out while an effect directed to the active display area 81SG5F is executed. By shifting each effect executable period so that effects are not executed, the player may be made to pay attention to effects directed to the active display area 81SG5F, and the player may be able to easily recognize the effects being executed.

  In the above embodiment, the active display area 81SG5F is caused to emit light based on the start of the change display, and the light emission is ended when the change display is ended, so that the player is performing the change display. Although the form which makes it recognize a certain thing is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as modification 3, the 1st pending storage display area 81SG5D and the 2nd pending storage display at the time of the start of change display It is possible to execute a transition effect in which the on-hold display displayed in the area 81SG5U transitions to the active display area 81SG5F with effect display, and to execute the transition effect when the active display area 81SG5F starts light emission.
