  Also, at the lowermost part of the game area 6, two out ports 19 are provided for discharging the game balls, which have been driven into the game area 6, but did not win any of the winning openings, to the outside of the game area 6. There is. In addition, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

  By the way, the game area 6 where the game balls can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side from the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right. The operation mode of the handle 72k that causes the game balls to fire so that the game balls flow down the left game area is referred to as "left strike". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that causes the game ball to fire so that the game ball flows down the right game area is referred to as "right-handed". In pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the game ball is thrown by hitting the left, the channel where the game ball can flow down is called the first channel R1, and when the game ball is fired by hitting the game ball, the game ball flows down. A possible flow path is called a second flow path R2. The first flow passage R1 and the second flow passage R2 are also configured by a large number of playing nails and the like.

  On the first flow passage R1, a first starting opening 11 and two general winning openings 10 are provided. Therefore, the player can aim for winning in the first start opening 11 or the general winning opening 10 by firing the gaming ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by hitting left. On the other hand, on the second flow passage R2, a second start opening 12, a gate 13, a first large winning opening 14, and a second large winning opening 15 are provided. Therefore, the player shoots the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting the right, so that the passage of the gate 13, the second starting opening 12, the first big winning opening 14, or the second winning opening It is possible to aim for a winning in the big winning opening 15.

  In addition, the game ball which did not enter any winning opening (1st starting opening 11, 2nd starting opening 12, general winning opening 10, 1st big winning opening 14, and 2nd big winning opening 15), It is guided to the out port 19 and discharged. In addition, it is possible to appropriately set the number of winning balls by winning in each winning opening.

  In addition, indicators 8 are disposed on the lower left of the game area 6 formed on the front of the game board 1 (a part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, a special figure 2 indicator 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and a common figure are variably displayed on the display 8 A common picture display 82 is included. In addition, special figure 1 reserve indicator 83a which displays special figure 1 reserve number which it mentions later (U1: the number where variable indication of special figure 1 with special figure 1 indicator 81a is reserve) which it mentions later, A special figure 2 reserve display 83b is included to display the special figure 2 reserve number described later (U2: the number of the special view 2 variable display by the special figure 2 display 81b is pending).

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 11. Further, the variable display of the special view 2 is executed when the special view 2 lottery is performed triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 12. In the following description, special drawing 1 and special drawing 2 are collectively called special drawing, and special drawing 1 lottery and special drawing 2 drawing are generically called special drawing drawing. The special view 1 display 81 a and the special view 2 display 81 b are collectively referred to as a special view display 81. Furthermore, the special view 1 reserve display 83 a and the special view 2 reserve display 83 b are collectively referred to as a special view reserve display 83.

  The variable display of the special drawing reports the result of the special drawing lottery. In the special view variable display, the special view is variably displayed and then stopped. The special view (stop special view, a special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) to be stopped and displayed is one special view selected from among a plurality of types of special views by special drawing lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined specific figure (special figure of a specific stop mode, ie, a big hit symbol), the special winning opening (first large winning opening 14 and second large winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

  The special view display 81 includes, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special view according to the result of the special view lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special figure lottery is a big hit (one of a plurality of types of big hits described later), the special figure display 81 is “□□ ■■ □□ ■■” (□: lighting, ■ : The jackpot symbol consisting of the lighting of the first, second, fifth and sixth LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a loss, a lost design configured by lighting only the LED at the rightmost is displayed, such as the special drawing display 81 "■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Do. In addition, the lighting mode of LED corresponding to the result of a special figure lottery is not limited, It can set suitably. Therefore, for example, all the LEDs may be turned off as a lost symbol.

  Further, in the variable display of the special view, the variable display of the special view is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time before the special view is stopped and displayed. The aspect of the variable display of the special view is, for example, the aspect in which each LED is lighted so that light repeatedly flows from the left to the right. In addition, the aspect of the variable display of a special figure is not specifically limited, If each LED is not stop display (lighting display in a specific aspect), you may set suitably that all LED blinks simultaneously.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering) of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, various random numbers (numerical information and judgment information for performing special drawing lottery etc. An example may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the below-mentioned special figure reservation storage unit 105 as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers”, and the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 12 The various random numbers acquired by (entering) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special view 1 related random number is stored as the special view 1 reserve, in the special view 1 reserve storage unit 105 a in the special view reserve storage unit 105. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored as the special figure 2 reserve, in the special figure 2 reserve storage unit 105 b in the special figure reserve storage unit 105. For the number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special view 1 reservation storage unit 105a (the special figure 1 reservation number) and the number of special view 2 reservations that can be stored in the special view 2 reservation storage unit 105b (the special figure 2 reservation number) The upper limit (for example, four) can be set. In the following, the special figure 1 reserve and the special figure 2 reserve are generically called "special figure reserve", and the special figure 1 reserve number and the special figure 2 reserve number are generically called "special figure reserve number". Also, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are generically called "special figure related random number".

  In pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special view is not performed immediately after the game ball has won the first start opening 11 or the second start opening 12, specifically, the variable display of the special view is under execution. Or, when there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, it is possible to reserve a variable display (or the right of the special figure lottery) of the special figure for the prize. The special view reserve stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 is digested when it becomes possible to variably display the special view based on the special view reserve. That is, the term “subtraction of a special view reserve” means that a special view relation random number or the like corresponding to the special view reserve is determined, and variable display of the special view to show the determination result is performed.

  Then, the number of to-be- reserved special drawings is displayed on the special-characteristic hold display 83. Each of the special view 1 reserve display 83a and the special view 2 reserve indicator 83b is constituted of, for example, 4 LEDs, and displays the number of the special view reserve by lighting the LED for the number of the special view reserve. It is possible.

  Further, the variable display of the common drawing reports the result of the common drawing lottery. In the variable display of the common drawing, after the common drawing is variably displayed, the stop display is performed. The stop-displayed common drawing (stop-general drawing, common drawing derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display) is one common drawing selected from among a plurality of common drawings by the common drawing lottery. When the stop-displayed common drawing is a predetermined specific common drawing (a common drawing of a predetermined stop mode, ie, a hit symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second starting opening 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed .

  The common drawing indicator 82 is constituted of, for example, two LEDs, and displays the common drawing according to the result of the common drawing lottery according to the lighting mode. If the result of the common drawing lottery is a hit, the common drawing display 82 displays a hit symbol consisting of lighting of both LEDs, such as "□□" (□: lit, ■: off). Further, when the result of the common drawing lottery is a loss, a lost symbol configured by lighting only the right LED is displayed, such as "■ □". You may employ | adopt the aspect which makes all the LED light-extinguish as a lost design. In addition, the lighting aspect of LED corresponding to the result of a common drawing lottery is not limited, It can set suitably.

3. Next, the main game played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

3-1. Games related to popular figures First, the games related to popular figures will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a common drawing lottery when the launched gaming ball passes the gate 13. When the drawing drawing lottery is performed, variable drawing display of the drawing drawing (stop display after the fluctuation display is performed) is performed on the drawing drawing display 82. Here, there are a hit symbol and a lost symbol in the common view that is displayed in a stop. In addition, about the lost design of a common drawing, in order to distinguish with the lost design of the special drawing mentioned later, it is also called a "loss common drawing". When the hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game relating to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the loss popular map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game relating to the passage of the gate 13 ends. In addition, in the following, it is referred to as "establishment of the common drawing fluctuation start condition" that the gaming ball passes the gate 13 when the variable display of the common drawing or the auxiliary game is not performed.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires the common drawing relationship random number by the establishment of the common drawing change start condition when performing such a series of games (normal drawing lottery, variable display of common drawing, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 8A, the common drawing related random numbers to be acquired include normal symbol random numbers. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for making a hit determination. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. Hit Determination The hit determination is a determination to decide whether or not to hit (whether to execute an auxiliary game) using one or more hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 9A. The hit determination table can be associated with the gaming state described later. That is, the gaming state includes the non-time saving state and the time saving state, and as a hit determination table, a hit determination table (non-time saving use hitting determination table) used in the non time saving state and a hit determination table (time saving use) used in the time saving state It is possible to distinguish from the hit determination table). In each hit determination table, the determination value (normal symbol random number value) of the normal symbol random number is distributed to the hit and the loss which is the result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table, and makes a hit determination whether it is a hit or a loss. Then, based on the result of the collision determination, the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination for performing variable display of the common drawing is performed. Basically, when the result of the hit determination is a hit, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in a variable display of a common figure. On the other hand, when the result of the collision determination is a loss, basically, the lost spread is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the spread. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the win.

3-1-2. The common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment is a judgment for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern using one or a plurality of common drawing fluctuation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9 (B). The common drawing fluctuation pattern is identification information on predetermined matters concerning variable display of common drawing such as common drawing fluctuation time.

  The common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as a common drawing fluctuation pattern determination table, a common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment table (non-short time common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment table) used in the non-time-short state, and a common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment table used in the time-short state It is possible to distinguish from the time-shortened chart fluctuation pattern determination table).

  In each of the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination tables, one common drawing fluctuation pattern, which is the result of the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each of the common drawing to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the spread map fluctuation time different between the non-time-short state and the time-short state. For example, in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stopping and displaying the common drawing of the lost (the common drawing) is determined to the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stop display of the common drawing, it is determined that the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 30 seconds, for example. Moreover, in the time saving state, the variable display of the common drawing in the case of stopping and displaying the lost common drawing is determined as the common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the figure, a common drawing fluctuation pattern in which the common drawing fluctuation time is 5 seconds, for example, is determined. The variable display of the common drawing of the common drawing fluctuation time associated with the common drawing fluctuation pattern determined by this determination is performed by the common drawing display 82. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change these common map fluctuation times. In this manner, by performing the hit determination and the common drawing fluctuation pattern judgment, variable display of the common drawing is performed on the common drawing display 82.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game The auxiliary game is a variable display of a common drawing, and is executed when a hit symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a display result (a result of a common drawing lottery).

  The auxiliary game includes various elements such as the elements constituting the auxiliary game (auxiliary game components), that is, the number of times the electric chew 12D opens and the opening time for each opening. And each of these elements is matched with the game state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls an auxiliary game using one or more auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9C based on the gaming state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Auxiliary game components are stored in each of the auxiliary game control tables. Further, the number of times of opening and the opening time of each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the open time of the electric chow 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-time-shortened state and the auxiliary game in the time-shortened state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-short time state, the electric chew 12D is opened only for the first opening time (a time (for example, 0.08 seconds) in which it is difficult to win the gaming ball in the electric chew 12D). In addition, below, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in a non-time saving state is also called "a short opening auxiliary | assistant game." In addition, in the auxiliary game in the time saving state, the electric Chu 12D only for a second opening time (a time (for example, 3.00 seconds) in which it is easy to win the gaming ball in the electric Chu 12D) longer than the first opening time. Open. In addition, the thing of the auxiliary | assistant game in time-saving state is also called "a long open | release auxiliary | assistant game" below.

3-2. Next, the game related to the special drawing will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special figure 1 lottery when the fired game ball wins the first start hole 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs variable display of the special figure 1 (display of variation and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 1 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a big hit and a loss in the result of the special figure 1 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a special figure 2 lottery when the fired game ball wins the second starting opening 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs variable display of the special figure 2 (display of change and then stop display) to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, there are a big hit symbol and a lost symbol in the special view 2 which is stopped and displayed. That is, there are a jackpot and a loss in the result of the special figure 2 lottery. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is ended. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is ended.

  In the following, the game ball winning in the first start hole 11 is referred to as "establishment of the first start condition" and the game ball wins in the second start aperture 12 is satisfied "the establishment of the second start condition" It is said. In addition, “satisfaction of the first start condition” and “satisfaction of the second start condition” are collectively referred to as “satisfaction of the start condition”. Moreover, about the lost design of a special design, in order to distinguish from the lost design of the above-mentioned common drawing, it is also called a "lost special drawing".

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special drawing relationship random number by the establishment of the start condition when performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, big hit game, setting of gaming state), Perform various judgments on random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8 (B), there are special symbol random numbers (big hit random numbers), a big hit symbol type random number, a reach random number, and a special feature fluctuation pattern random number as the special feature related random numbers to be acquired. The special symbol random number is a random number for making a jackpot determination. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for making a jackpot symbol type determination. The reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number for performing the variation pattern determination of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. Note that random numbers may be referred to as determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot Determination The jackpot determination is a determination to determine whether or not a jackpot (whether a jackpot game is to be executed) using one or more jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. 10A. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with the normal probability state or the high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, the jackpot determination table (normal probability jackpot determination table) used in the normal probability state and the jackpot determination table (high probability jackpot determination table) used in the high probability state may be distinguished. It is possible.

  In each jackpot determination table, the judgment value (special symbol random number value) of the special symbol random number is distributed to the jackpot and the loss which is the result of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the special symbol random number judgment value in which the jackpot judgment table for high probability is judged to be a jackpot is set more than the jackpot judgment table for normal probability. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the winning probability of the jackpot.

3-2-2. Big hit symbol type determination If the result of the big hit decision is a big hit, the type of big hit symbol (big hit symbol type using one or more big hit symbol type judgment tables as shown in FIG. 10 (B) It is a judgment to decide). For each jackpot symbol type, it is possible to associate jackpot components composed of the contents of the jackpot, in other words, the game benefits provided to the player, and the like.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of starting opening for which the jackpot symbol type determination is caused (the jackpot symbol type determination has been generated) Is possible. That is, as the big hit symbol type determination table, the big hit symbol type determination table (first big hit symbol type determination table) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the big hit used when performing the variable display of the special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish from the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, and in each jackpot symbol type determination table, the judgment value (jackpot symbol type random value) of jackpot symbol type random number is distributed to jackpot symbol type which is the result of jackpot symbol type determination There is. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the acquired jackpot symbol type random number on the jackpot symbol type determination table to determine the type of jackpot symbol. Then, in the first big hit symbol type determination table and the second big hit symbol type determination table, the big hit symbol type random number values are appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols. Moreover, it is possible to change suitably about the distribution ratio of big hit symbol classification. In addition, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by the jackpot symbol type determination for the special figure 1 is 50% for the jackpot symbol X and 50% for the jackpot symbol Y. It is possible to make the jackpot symbol Z 100% of the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type by the jackpot symbol type determination of. In this way, the special hit 1 lottery performed with the game ball in the first start opening 11 and the special view 2 lottery performed with the game ball received in the second start opening 12 It is possible to make the fractions different.

3-2-3. Reach determination In the reach determination, when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, it is determined whether or not to generate reach in the special figure fluctuation effect described later using one or more reach determination tables as shown in FIG. 10 (C) It is a determination to determine the

  The reach determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, the reach determination table (non-short time reach determination table) used in the non-time-short state and the reach determination table (time-short reach determination table) used in the time short state are distinguished. It is possible.

  In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination values (reach random numbers) are distributed to the reach determination results “reach (generate reach)” and “no reach (do not generate reach)”. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table, and determines whether there is reach or no reach (whether or not to cause reach). As shown in FIG. 10C, it is possible to make the number of reach random numbers determined to be “reached (to generate reach)” different between the non-time-shortening reach determination table and the time-shortening reach determination table. It is. In addition, in the following, the thing of "with reach (to generate reach)" performed on the premise that the result of the big hit judgment is "loss" is called "with reach loss", and "no reach (does not cause reach)" ) May be referred to as "no reach lost".

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation Special figure fluctuation pattern judgment, using the fluctuation pattern judgment table (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) of one or more special symbols as shown in Figure 11-Figure 12, the fluctuation pattern of the variable indication of the special figure It is a determination for determining (special figure fluctuation pattern), and the result of the big hit determination is performed in any case of the big hit and the loss. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time, the flow of the special figure fluctuation effect to be described later (content of the effect), and the like. In addition, it is possible to include identification information on the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination, in addition to the special map change time and the special process change flow and the effect flow (effect contents of the special view change effect). As the special figure fluctuation pattern, it is possible to use a plurality of kinds of special figure fluctuation patterns each having different identification information, and the number thereof can be appropriately changed.

  The special figure fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol that is subject to variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of starting opening at which the winning due to the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special view fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used at the time.

  And, each special figure fluctuation pattern decision table, it is possible to associate also game state. That is, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table includes the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table (special pattern 1 non-time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and the special figure 1 used in the time-short state It is possible to distinguish from the variation pattern determination table (time chart for special figure 1 variation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is also used similarly to the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table (time chart for special figure 2 fluctuation pattern judgment table).

  Further, each special view fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with the jackpot determination result, the jackpot symbol type determination result or the reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the non-time-shorting special figure 2 variation pattern determination table respectively include one for large hit (for each big hit symbol type), one for reach loss, and one for reach loss. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-shorting special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table each include a large hit (for each large hit symbol type), a reach presence loss, a no reach loss, and the like.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each non-reach loss can be associated with the number of special figure reservations. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach without loss used when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 0-2 and when the special figure 1 reserve number (U1) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for a no reach loss. In addition, it is possible to associate the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern decision table for each non-reach loss with the special figure reservation number. For example, it is used when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reach without loss used when the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 0 to 2 and when the special figure 2 reserve number (U2) is 3 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for a no reach loss.

  The special view display 81 variably displays a special view of the special view change time according to the special view change pattern determined in each special view change pattern determination. Then, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (the result of the special drawing lottery) in the variable display of the special drawing, the variable display of the next special drawing is not performed immediately, and the big hit game is subsequently executed. Ru.

  Moreover, it is possible to link | relate to the production | presentation flow of special figure fluctuation presentation as shown to the 2nd column from the right of the table | surface of FIG.

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the table | surface of FIG. 11-12, about a special figure fluctuation pattern, a special figure (big hit judgment result) and the special contents of the special figure fluctuation production etc. is there. For example, the special figure fluctuation pattern relating to the jackpot is referred to as the "big hit fluctuation". On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a kind of reach, is performed among the lose with reach is called “SP loss fluctuation”, and in the loss with reach, the L reach which is a kind of reach is performed The figure variation pattern is "L lost variation", among the presence of reach, the figure of the special figure variation pattern where the special figure variation effect is finished with N reach which is a kind of reach is "N loss variation", without reach The special pattern fluctuation pattern is called "normal loss fluctuation".

3-2-5. Pre-reading Determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using one or a plurality of pre-reading determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special drawing relation random numbers. For the pre-reading determination, for example, it is determined whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be the big hit in the big hit determination, the big hit symbol type random number is the determination of which big hit symbol type is determined in the big hit symbol type determination, For example, it may be determined which special pattern fluctuation pattern is determined as the special pattern fluctuation pattern determination. The pre-reading determination table can be associated with the type of starting opening according to the starting winning combination. That is, as a pre-reading determination table, a pre-reading determination table (first pre-reading determination table) when winning in the first starting opening 11, and a pre-reading determination table (second pre-reading determination table) when winning in the second starting opening 12 , Can be distinguished.

  Also, the pre-read determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the pre-reading determination table, the pre-reading determination table (non-time-shortening pre-reading determination table) used in the non-time-short state and the pre-reading determination table (time-saving pre-reading determination table) used in the time-short state are distinguished. It is possible.

  That is, in the prefetch determination table, a first prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state, a first prefetch determination table used in the time-short state, and a second prefetch determination table used in the non-time-short state It is possible to distinguish between the second pre-reading determination table used in the time saving state and the second pre-reading determination table. Note that what judgment is included in the pre-reading judgment can be changed as appropriate.

3-3. Jackpot game Next, the jackpot game will be described. In the jackpot game, a plurality of round games involving opening and closing of the big winning opening (the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15), and from the start of the big hit game to the start of the first round game It includes an opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the last round game to the end of the jackpot game. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP and ED. In addition, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is only called "round" below. For example, the first round game is called "one round (1R)", and the tenth round game is called "10 round (10R)".

  The elements constituting such a big hit game (big hit game components), the number of round games, the number of opening of the big winning opening (first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15) in each round game, Type and opening time (opening pattern) of big winning opening where each opening takes place, time to close until next opening (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. are included. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or more jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. 14 after the stop display of the special view. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more jackpot games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens up to 29.5 seconds from 1R to 15R, or the first large winning opening 14 up to 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. And in the 16R (final round), the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, or the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 opens up to 0.1 seconds, To be done. In each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the large winning opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the large winning openings 14 and 15 elapses, End the round game.

  In addition, the number and time of each element can be changed as appropriate. It is also possible to play the jackpot game using both the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15 or only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. The specific area 16 is in the closed state where it is impossible to win and the open state where it is possible to win by the distribution member 16k, so the operation mode of the distribution member 16k can be said as the open / close mode of the specific area 16. In the following, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as "opening / closing mode of the specific area 16". Thus, although the distributing member 16k is controlled in a fixed operating mode (the specific area 16 is a fixed opening and closing mode), a fixed operating mode of the distributing member 16k (a fixed opening and closing mode of the specific area 16); In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (easiness) of entering the gaming ball into the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. In the following, the fact that the specific area 16 is in the open state is also referred to as "V open".

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big winning opening, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3 (B)). Therefore, in the round game in which the second big winning opening 15 opens up to 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second big winning opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15, and the time controlled to the second state of the distributing member 16k and Because of the relationship with timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). Thus, for the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member with the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that facilitates the passage (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") of the specific area 16 of the gaming ball during the jackpot game. The VAT opening and closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate with the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distributing member 16k operate, and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is impossible or difficult. It is possible to perform a jackpot game. Thus, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as "V long jackpot". On the other hand, a jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distributing member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is referred to as "V short jackpot".

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. Pachinko gaming machines PY1 are, as shown in FIG. 15, "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state", "high probability high base gaming state" and " It is possible to make it into any game state of "the jackpot game state". In addition, "low probability low base gaming state""low probability low base state", "low probability high base gaming state""low probability high base state", "high probability low base gaming state""high probability "Low base state" and "high probability high base gaming state" can be abbreviated as "high probability high base state". As a state constituting the gaming state, there are a state relating to the probability of being judged as a "big hit" in the big hit determination, and a state relating to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time-short state and a time-short state.

  The normal probability state is set in the “low probability low base gaming state” or the “low probability high base gaming state”, and is a state in which the probability that it is determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination is a normal probability. The high probability state is set in the “high probability low base gaming state” or the “high probability high base gaming state”, and is a state in which the probability of being judged as a jackpot by jackpot determination is a high probability higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal probability state. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the normal probability state is set. Then, by winning the jackpot, it is possible to switch from the normal probability state to the high probability state. For example, it is possible to switch to the high probability state by the game ball passing through the specific area 16 in the jackpot game. It is also possible to switch to the high probability state depending on the type of jackpot symbol. The high probability state can be switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state by performing the jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning the jackpot, or winning the next jackpot.

  The non-short time state is set in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "high probability low base gaming state" or the "big hit gaming state". The time saving state is set in the “low probability high base gaming state” or “high probability high base gaming state”, and the gaming state in which the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than the non time saving state It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric tube 12D in the non-short time state. Also, in the time saving state, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination is performed using the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table that is selected such that the selection of the special figure fluctuation pattern with a short special figure fluctuation time is greater than in the non-short time state. It is also possible to do it (see FIGS. 11 to 12). As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of the special figure reserve is increased, and a valid winning to the starting opening (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reserve) is easily generated. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

  In addition, the time saving state can easily make the common drawing fluctuation time shorter than the non-time saving state. For example, in the short time state, a spread time (5 seconds) shorter than the spread time (30 seconds) determined in the non-short state is determined. Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of times the common drawing lottery is executed per unit time is more.

  In addition, the time saving state can be more easily determined as a hit in the hit determination than in the non-time saving state. For example, in the time saving state, the hit is determined with a probability (eg, 59936/65536) higher than the probability (eg, 6600/65536) determined to be a hit in the non-time short state. Therefore, in the time saving state, the number of times it is determined to be a hit in the hit determination per unit time is more.

  As described above, in the time saving state, the open time of the electric chow 12D per unit time is longer than that in the non-time saving state, and the gaming ball is more likely to win frequently to the second starting opening 12. As a result, the base which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls becomes high. Therefore, in the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of gaming balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time saving state is more advantageous to the player than the non-time saving state.

  When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the non-short time state is set. Then, for example, the time saving state can be set by winning the jackpot. The time saving state can be changed from the time saving state to the non-time saving state by performing the jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning the jackpot, or winning the next jackpot.

  In the time saving state, compared to the non-time saving state, it is easy to win a hit, the spread map fluctuation time is easily shortened, and the open time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be long. The game is set to the player in an advantageous manner in three points with respect to the game according to the common drawing. However, points set to be advantageous to the player may be part of these.

  The gaming state after the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on for the first time is the "low probability low base gaming state" in which the normal probability state and the non-short time state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as "normal gaming state". In the "big hit gaming state", since the hit determination is performed but the big hit determination is not performed, the non-short time state is set along with the start of the big hit game. Further, with regard to the gaming state, it is possible to use all or only a part of the gaming states described above.

4. Next, main effects performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The effect mode is a division of the effect (or an upper conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability change effect mode, a time reduction effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as an effect mode.

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure fluctuation effects are performed in "low probability low base gaming state", "low probability high base gaming state", "high probability low base gaming state" and "high probability high base gaming state" This is an effect mode that can be set when there is no, and in a standby state in which the special image variation effect is not performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-1), a customer waiting demonstration video G100 for introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. When the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration moving image G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-2), a setting screen G101 for setting for the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. The settings relating to the effect include volume setting of the sound output from the speaker 52, brightness setting of the display unit 50a (“light amount setting”), frequency setting of the effect to be performed (“effect setting”), and the like.

  The normal effect mode can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is being performed in the "low probability low base gaming state" or the "high probability low base gaming state", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a non-time-saving state is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-1), a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a 16 (B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image representing the scenery of a mountain in the evening (the background image for ordinary evening G103) is displayed on the display 50a as shown in FIG. 16 (B-2); As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (Night normal background image G104) representing the view of a mountain at night is displayed on the display unit 50a; It can be switched as one condition that one or more special image variation effects are performed. Furthermore, in each of the first to third normal rendering modes, there are a normal front stage rendering mode before reaching reach and a normal rear stage rendering mode after reaching reach in the special figure fluctuation presentation. In the normal front effect mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103 and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the normal rear effect mode, the type is reach. A dedicated background image is displayed. Also, a special effect mode may be provided which is set only in the "high probability low base gaming state".

  The probability change effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure change effect is performed in the “high probability and high base gaming state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the state is a high probability state and a short time state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-4), a background image (positive variation background image G105) representing space is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, in the special variation variation production mode, there are a second variation production mode before the reach is established and a second variation production mode after the reach is established in the special figure variation presentation. Although the background image for definite variation G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a in the first stage effect mode, the dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed in the second stage effect mode.

  The time-saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the "low probability high base gaming state", and is an effect mode indicating that it is a normal probability state and a time-saving state. In the time-saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-5), a background image (time-saving background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, in the time reduction rendering mode, there are a time reduction preceding rendering mode before reaching reach and a time shortening later rendering mode after reaching. In the short front-side effect mode, the time-shortening background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a. However, in the time-short rear-side effect mode, a dedicated background image according to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being performed in the "jackpot game state", and is an effect mode that indicates that the jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-1), in the display unit 50a, the opening image G107 that suggests the start of the jackpot game and the right prompting “right strike” A jackpot opening effect in which the beating image G108 is displayed is performed. During the rounds in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-2), the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls paid out. The round effect is performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3), in the display unit 50a, suggesting the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the number of total prize balls paid out A jackpot ending effect is performed in which a winning prize ball number image G112 is displayed.

  In addition, about the kind of production mode, it is possible to change or add suitably.

4-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, special figure fluctuation production (also simply referred to as "variation production") will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the variable display of the special drawing, the special drawing fluctuation pattern and the special drawing lottery result (big hit judgment result, big hit symbol type judgment result, reach judgment result, and The special figure fluctuation presentation is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result) and the like. In the special figure change effect, variable display of the effect pattern is performed on the predetermined background image in the display unit 50a. The effect pattern is composed of, for example, 1 to 9 numeral symbols. In the effect pattern variation display, the effect pattern varies with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the effect pattern with the end of the variable display of the special figure Will stop. That is, after the special view fluctuation time and the fluctuation display of the effect pattern are performed, the fluctuation is stopped, and the stop display (full stop display) of the effect pattern is performed. Then, the result of the special drawing lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect symbol.

  In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production, in addition to the fluctuation display of production design, various such as image display 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, movable devices 55, 56, 58, normal button 40, special button 41 etc. It is possible to perform other renderings using a variety of rendering devices. In this case, it is possible to continue performing other effects even after the stop display of the effect symbols.

4-2-1. In the display portion 50a of the image display device 50, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left portion, the center, and the right side are obtained by dividing the display portion 50a into three in the horizontal direction substantially equally. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect pattern area 50b2, and a right effect pattern area 50b3. The left effect pattern area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect pattern EZ1 at the time of the stop display of the effect pattern in the special figure variation effect. Similarly, the middle effect pattern area 50b2 and the right effect pattern area 50b3 are areas for displaying the middle effect pattern EZ2 and the right effect pattern EZ3.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 17 (A), it is possible to provide the small symbol area | region 50c in one division of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end part of the display part 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the variable display of the special figure is performed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are, for example, configured by numeral symbols of 1 to 9.

  In FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol area 50b1, the middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are clearly indicated by the two-dot chain line, but this is the left effect symbol area 50b1. , The middle effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c are described to represent the range, and are not actually displayed.

4-2-2. Normal fluctuation The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform normal fluctuation first in the special figure fluctuation effect. The normal fluctuation functions as an effect that indicates that the variable display of the special view has been started.

  When the variable display of the special view is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, in the display unit 50a, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed, The left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2 and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the variable display of the special view is not performed, and from the state of waiting for the variable display of the special view, FIG. As shown in the figure, at the same time as the start, the variable display of the rendering symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. In addition, "(down)" in FIG. 17 has shown that the change display of a symbol is in process. And, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of this special view is, for example, “normal loss change”, as shown in FIG. 17 (C-1), the left production design EZ1 and the right production design EZ3 are different After temporary stop in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17 (D), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 stop display in the stop mode (so-called loose eyes) suggesting a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also simultaneously displayed in a stop mode that suggests a loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a loss, such as “1.1 • 2” and “2 • 4 • 6”, where the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, in the case of the special figure fluctuation pattern with reach such as “N lost fluctuation”, for example, as shown in FIG. 17 (C-2), in the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure, the left presentation symbol EZ1 And the right effect pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode (the so-called reach eye), and the reach is established. At this time, the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special pattern fluctuation pattern is performed. In addition, it is possible to change suitably the stop order and stop mode of production | design pattern EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

4-2-3. N reach Pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N reach when reach is established in normal fluctuation. The N reach is an effect that suggests that the result of the jackpot determination may have been a "big hit", and functions as a effect for making a player expect a jackpot.

  In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18A, the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18B, the fluctuation speed of the middle effect pattern EZ2 gradually Slow down. Then, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is, for example, “N loss change”, as shown in FIG. 18 (C-1), the rendering is performed in the stop mode (so-called reach close eyes) suggesting reach loss. The symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 stop display. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also simultaneously displayed in a stop mode that suggests a reach loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that indicate reach loss, such as “7 · 6 · 7” and “5 · 3 · 5”, where the left and right symbols are the same and the symbols in the middle are different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is, for example, “N jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 18 (C-2), stop in the stop mode (so-called Zoro eyes) that suggests a big hit indicate. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that indicate the jackpot, such as “7 · 7 · 7” and “2 · 2 · 2”, and the like. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also displayed in a stop at the same time in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. In addition, the content of the effect of N reach is not limited to that the middle effect pattern EZ2 is gradually decelerated, and can be appropriately changed or added.

4-2-4. SP reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the jackpot determination result is “big hit” is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a jackpot.

  In the SP reach, as shown in FIG. 19A, for example, a background image (SP reach background image G113) for SP reach is displayed on the display unit 50a after N reach, and the SP at the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 indicating that the reach has been started is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (B), an effect for SP reach only (for example, battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP reach-only effect is reached, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-1), the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “SP jackpot fluctuation”. At 50a, an effect that suggests a big hit (for example, an indication that the main character is willing to win the battle) is performed, and stop is performed in a stop mode (so-called Zoro eyes) where the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 suggest a big hit indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also displayed in a stop at the same time in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. On the other hand, when the special view fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special view is, for example, “SP loss change”, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-2), an effect that suggests a loss (for example, the enemy character is in battle The display which is pleased to win) is carried out, and the stop display of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 in a stop mode suggesting a reach loss is performed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also simultaneously displayed in a stop mode that suggests a loss. In addition, it is possible to change or add suitably the presentation content of SP reach.

  Here, the possibility that the effect design symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach may be stopped in a manner showing a big hit (big hit expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot decision. For example, if the execution probability of N reach is 10% if the result of the big hit judgment is "losing" and 100% if the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit", the execution probability of the SP reach is If the result of the jackpot judgment is 4% if the result of the "losing" is 100% if the result of the jackpot judgment is "big hit", the jackpot expectation of the SP reach is greater than the jackpot expectation of the N reach It is possible to set high. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is "loss", and the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit" In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is 2% if the result of the big hit judgment is "loss" and 30% if the result of the big hit judgment is "big hit" For example, it is possible to set the jackpot expectation of SP reach B higher than the jackpot expectation of SP reach A. As described above, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

5. Control of the Game by the Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, buffers, and the like that appear in the control of the game by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

[1. Main control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 is powered on, the gaming control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads out and executes the program of the main control main processing shown in FIG. 23 from the gaming ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, permission setting for access to the game RAM 104, setting of the game CPU 102, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), and the like are performed.

  Next to the power-on process, the interrupt is inhibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of the various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are incremented by one and updated. When the upper limit value is reached, the counter value of each random number is returned to "0" and added again. The initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than “0”, or may be randomly changed. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is finished, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, execution of the main timer interrupt process (S005) is possible. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, in a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed in a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main side timer interrupt process (S005) is finished and before the main side timer interrupt process (S005) is started next, various patterns by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) The process of updating the counter value of the random number is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 while the interrupt is disabled, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is permitted (S004).

[2. Main timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main timer interrupt process (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), an output process (S101) is first executed. In the output process (S101), a command or the like set in an output buffer provided in the gaming RAM 104 of the main control board 100 in each process described below is output to the sub control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

  In the input process (S102) performed subsequent to the output process (S101), the gaming control microcomputer 101 takes in, for example, a detection signal from the lower plate full switch for detecting the lower plate 35 full, and plays the game as lower plate full data It stores in the output buffer of RAM104.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) performed in the main control main processing of FIG. That is, the updating process of the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and the other period (main timer interrupt process (S500). After the end of S005), it is performed both in the period until the next main timer interrupt processing (S005) is started.

  After the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), then performs a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106) Do. The sensor detection process, the normal operation process and the special operation process will be described later.

  Next to the special operation process (S106), a distribution apparatus control process for controlling the distribution apparatus 16D is performed (S107).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108), and ends the main timer interrupt processing (S005). As the other process (S108), a power-off monitoring process when the power is shut off, update of a timer provided in the game RAM 104, and the like are performed. Further, as another process (S108), a payout control process of paying out a prize ball to the player is performed. In the payout control process, a winning ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 in accordance with the winning of the gaming ball to each winning opening. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out the winning balls based on the winning ball request signal.

  Then, the gaming control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main processing (see FIG. 23) until the next interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 (see FIG. 23), and the interrupt pulse is input. And (after about 4 msec), the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed again. The game control microcomputer 101 executes the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main timer interrupt process (S005) in the output process (S101) of the main timer interrupt process (S005) executed again. Output etc.

If the result of the big hit determination is a big hit, the big hit symbol indicating the big hit is stopped and displayed, and if the result of the big hit determination is a loss, a lost symbol indicating a loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special view fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable view of the special view is generated.

2-3-3. Special symbol confirmation process]
The special symbol determination process is a process performed when the special view is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol determination process, when the special view currently displayed with a stop is a big hit symbol, it is shifted to the big hit gaming state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination. Further, when the special view currently displayed stopped is a lost symbol and the high probability state is ended, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high probability end command indicating transition to the normal probability state is generated. Also, when the special view currently displayed stopped is a lost symbol and the time saving state is ended, the non-time saving state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating transition to the non-time saving state is generated. In addition, when the special figure currently displayed with a stop is a lost design, and the special figure 2 reserve number and the special figure 1 reserve number are "0", the customer wait which shows that pachinko game machine PY1 is in standby state Generate a command

2-3-4. Jackpot game control process]
The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot gaming state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is performed using the jackpot game control table. After the transition to the jackpot gaming state, each round game is started depending on the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. In addition, ending is started according to ending the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the gaming state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. In the case of limiting the duration of the high probability state, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of times of variable display of the special view in which the high probability state can be continued without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a high probability setting command indicating the setting of the high probability state is generated. Further, when changing from the non-time saving state to the time saving state, the time saving state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. When limiting the duration of the time saving state, the duration of the time saving state (for example, the number of times of the variable display of the special view in which the time saving state can be continued without winning the jackpot) is also set. Then, a time saving setting command indicating the setting of the time saving state is generated.

  The commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Control of Effect by the Effect Control Microcomputer 121 Next, control of effect by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described based on FIG. 25 and FIG. A counter, a timer, a flag, a buffer, and the like appearing in the following description of control of effects by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out the program of the sub control main processing shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123 and executes it. As shown in the figure, in the sub control main process, first, a power on process according to the power on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the effect CPU 122, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, interrupt is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determination regarding various effects are updated. The method for updating the effect determination random number counter for various effects can be, for example, the same method as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing performed by the main control board 100 described above. The random number value may be added by two instead of one by one when updating. The same applies to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  When the random number seed update process is completed, the command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 which has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (performs various effects by the image). Further, the sub control board 120 causes the speaker 52 to output a sound (perform various sound effects by sound) or the lamp control, along with various effects performed by the image control board 140. The frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made to emit light through the circuit 151 (to execute various light emission effects by light emission), or the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are operated (to perform various movable object effects by operation) Do)

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 permits an interrupt (S4005). After that, step S4002 to step S4005 are looped. While the interrupt is permitted, execution of the reception interrupt process (S4010) and the sub timer interrupt process (S4011) is possible.

  The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the effect control microcomputer 121 stores various commands received and received by the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124. This reception interrupt process is executed prior to other interrupt processes (S4011).

[2. Sub timer interrupt processing]
The sub timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of a predetermined cycle (for example, 1 msec cycle) is input to the sub control board 120. In sub timer interrupt processing (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, input processing (S4101), light emission data output processing (S4102), movable device control processing (S4103), watchdog timer processing (S4104), received command analysis The process (S4105), the effect timer update process (S4106), the voice control process (S4107), and the effect data creation process (S4108) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit operable by the player, such as the normal button detection switch 40a and the special button detection switch 41a, is detected. In the light emission data output process, light emission data so that lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are made to emit light at a timing or the like that matches the effect by the image based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process described later. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54 and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, based on the data for presentation created in the presentation data creation process, the drive data is output to perform the movable body effect to operate the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, 58 at a predetermined timing. Do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs movable body effect to operate the movable devices 55, 56, 58, etc. in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In watchdog timer processing, reset setting of the watchdog timer is performed.

  In the reception command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 by the reception interrupt process (S4010) is analyzed, and a process according to the command (for example, selection of effect, setting of effect mode, setting of command, etc.) I do. In the effect timer update process, the timer for measuring the time concerning each effect is updated. In the voice control process, creation of voice data (data for controlling the output of voice from the speaker 52) and output to the voice control circuit 161 are performed based on the processing result of the reception command analysis process. In the effect data creation process, the effect data is created based on the processing result of the reception command analysis process.

7. Description of features of the first embodiment Further detailed description will be added below regarding the features of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment.

7-1. Various Effects The various effects in the present embodiment will be further described. The effect control microcomputer 121 according to the present embodiment can execute “icon change effect” in which the display mode of the hold icon HA changes. Further, “barrier effect” can be performed in which the barrier image BG is additionally displayed on the hold icon HA. Furthermore, for the reserved icon HA with the display of the barrier image BG (execution of the barrier effect), there is a possibility that the display of the barrier image BG may disappear (the possibility of the execution of the barrier effect being ended) Can be performed.

7-1-1. Icon Change Effect First, the icon change effect will be described with reference to FIG. 20, FIG. 27, FIG. 28, and FIG. The icon change effect is an effect in which the display mode of the hold icon HA changes. This icon change presentation corresponds to one presentation of the above-mentioned prefetch presentation.

  There are three display colors of the reserve icon HA in the present embodiment: “white”, “blue” and “red”. In addition, there are two types of display form (display shape) of the reserve icon HA, “○ (round shape)” and “☆ (star shape)”. The normal mode (default) of the hold icon HA of the present embodiment is “white” and “o”.

  In the present embodiment, the pending icon HA is a pending icon display area 50d (the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, the third display area 50d3, or the fourth display area 50d) when the first starting opening 11 enters the ball (winning). When appearing in the display area 50d4), an icon change effect may be performed (see FIGS. 27A and 27B).

  Further, when the hold icon HA is displayed in each display area of the hold icon display area 50d, an icon change effect may be performed (see FIGS. 28 (A) and 28 (B)). However, in the present embodiment, in order to secure the execution time of the icon change effect, the icon change effect for the hold icon HA appearing and displayed in the hold icon display area 50d with the ball entering the first starting opening 11 is It does not happen. The icon change presentation may be performed for the hold icon HA that has been shifted to another one from the hold icon display area 50d at the time of appearance.

  Specifically, when the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4 is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4 as the first start opening 11 enters the ball, the icon change effect for the hold icon HA is displayed. Will not take place. However, when the hold icon HA transferred from the fourth display area 50d4 is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the second display area 50d2, or the first display area 50d1, the icon change effect for the hold icon HA is generated. Can be performed.

  Also, when the hold icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3 is displayed in the third display area 50d3 along with the entry into the first starting opening 11, the icon change effect for the hold icon HA is a line If the hold icon HA shifted from there is displayed in the second display area 50d2 or the first display area 50d1, the icon change presentation may be performed. Similarly, when the hold icon HA appearing in the second display area 50d2 is displayed there upon entering the first starting opening 11, no icon change effect is performed, but the hold icon HA is When being displayed in the first display area 50d1, the icon change effect can be performed. Note that no icon change effect is performed on the hold icon HA that appears in the first display area 50d1 as the ball enters the first starting opening 11.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the hold icon HA accompanied by the display of the barrier image BG is displayed in each display area of the hold icon display area 50 d and the character action presentation in the success mode is performed, the execution is performed. After the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, an icon change effect is performed (see FIG. 30C and FIG. 30D). The barrier image BG and the character operation effect will be described later in detail.

  In the present embodiment, if the icon change effect is not performed on the hold icon HA appearing in the hold icon display area 50d, the hold icon HA appears in the normal mode. On the other hand, when the icon change effect is performed on the hold icon HA appearing in the hold icon display area 50d, when the hold icon HA appears in the display mode of "blue" and "☆" and "red" and " There are times when the hold icon HA appears in the display mode of "☆".

  Also, when the icon change effect is performed on the hold icon HA displayed in each display area of the hold icon display area 50d, if the hold icon HA is in the normal mode, "blue" and "☆" or "red" And it changes to a pending icon HA of "☆". On the other hand, if the mode of the pending icon HA on which the icon change presentation is performed is "blue" and "☆", the icon changes to a "red" and "☆" pending icon HA.

  In addition to the normal mode, the display mode of "blue" and "☆" of the reserve icon HA is also referred to as "the blue mode". The display mode of "red" and "☆" is also referred to as "red".

7-1-2. Barrier Presentation Next, barrier presentation will be described using FIG. The barrier effect is an image effect for displaying the barrier image BG. Specifically, it is an effect of displaying a barrier image BG showing a barrier (barrier) covering the upper half of the reserve icon HA as shown in FIG. 29 (B).

  The execution of the barrier effect is started with the appearance of the hold icon HA (see FIGS. 29A and 29B). That is, the execution of the barrier effect is not started on the hold icon HA already displayed. That is, the barrier image BG is not added and displayed as a follow-up icon on the holding icon HA being displayed.

  However, although the barrier effect of the present embodiment is started with the reserved icon HA appearing in the second display region 50d2, the third display region 50d3 or the fourth display region 50d4 in the reserved icon display region 50d, the first effect is obtained. The execution is not started together with the hold icon HA appearing in the display area 50d1. In the present embodiment, in order to secure the execution time of the character operation effect described later, the character operation effect can be performed after the appearing reserved icon HA shifts (shifts) to the adjacent display area. In addition, the character operation effect is an effect to be executed for the barrier image BG accompanying the hold icon HA. Therefore, the execution of the barrier effect is not started together with the hold icon HA appearing in the first display area 50d1 that will become the icon TA after transition.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, at least one of the icon change effect, the barrier effect, and the character operation effect is performed (or performed) for the hold icon HA already displayed in the hold icon display area 50d. The barrier effect is not performed along with the hold icon HA that is newly displayed in the hold icon display area 50d. This is the same timing that the barrier effect with one hold icon HA and the various effects (icon change effect, barrier effect and character operation effect) with the other hold icon HA are the same during execution of the same special figure fluctuation effect To avoid being done in

  Further, there are a barrier effect when the execution is ended after the execution of the character operation effect in the success mode, and when the hold icon HA is shifted (shifted) to the icon display area 50e. To end after the execution of the character operation production in the success mode specifically means that the “barrier” of the barrier image BG is broken by a hammer and disappears while the character operation production in the success mode is being performed (( 30 (C) and 30 (D)). On the other hand, the termination of the hold icon HA upon transition to the icon display area 50e means that the barrier image BG disappears upon the transition.

  In the present embodiment, while the barrier image BG is displayed in the upper half of the hold icon HA by the execution of the barrier effect, the display mode of the hold icon HA does not change. That is, while the icon change presentation can be performed on the hold icon HA in which the barrier presentation is not performed, the icon change presentation is not performed in the hold icon HA in which the barrier presentation is performed. Therefore, the player can expect a change in the display mode with the hold icon HA without the barrier image BG, but can not expect the display mode to change with the hold icon HA with the display of the barrier image BG. Therefore, in the case where the reserve icon HA is accompanied by the display of the barrier image BG, the player is expected that the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, and the display mode of the reserve icon HA can be changed. I tend to do it.

7-1-3. Character Operation Effects Next, character operation effects will be described using FIG. The character operation effect is an effect that suggests that the display of the barrier image BG associated with the hold icon HA may disappear. Further, in the present embodiment, when the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a due to the execution of the character operation effect, the display mode of the holding icon HA accompanied by the display of the barrier image BG changes with it. Therefore, the character operation effect is also an effect that suggests that the display mode of the hold icon HA may change.

  The character action effect is an image effect using the character image CG1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30 (B), a character image CG1 having contents in which a "special character" having a "hammer" appears is first displayed on the display unit 50a. In the character image CG1, a "special character" having a "hammer" appears behind the hold icon HA accompanied by the display of the barrier image BG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 30C, a character image CG1 of a content in which the “special character” hits the “barrier” of the barrier image BG with the “hammer” and the user intends to destroy the “barrier”.

  When the "barrier" of the barrier image BG is broken by the "hammer", the display of the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a. That is, the execution of the barrier effect ends. In the present embodiment, as the display of the barrier image BG is erased (the execution of the barrier effect is finished), the display mode of the hold icon HA changes as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the "barrier" of the barrier image BG is not broken by the "hammer", the display of the barrier image BG does not disappear from the display unit 50a. That is, in that case, the display of the barrier image BG continues. The display mode of the holding icon HA covered by the barrier image BG also does not change.

  In the present embodiment, a mode in which the display of the barrier image BG is extinguished by smashing the “barrier” with the “hammer” is also referred to as “succeeding mode”. On the other hand, an aspect in which the barrier image can not be erased as a result without breaking the "barrier" with the "hammer" is also referred to as a "failure aspect".

7-2. Flow of Various Effects on Hold Icon In the present embodiment, the display of the hold icon HA from the appearance in the hold icon display area 50 d to the transition (shift) to the icon display area 50 e and related to the hold icon HA The presence or absence of execution of various effects (icon change effect, barrier effect, and character operation effect), and the display mode of the hold icon HA are managed in a scenario.

  Specifically, when the effect control microcomputer 121 receives the above-mentioned command for the first starting opening sensor and causes the display of the hold icon HA to appear in the hold icon display area 50d, the barrier effect execution shown in FIG. 31 is first performed. With reference to the selection table, it is determined whether or not barrier rendering is to be performed (“non-execution” or “execution”) for the hold icon HA. Then, when the determination result is "non-execution", the scenario pattern selection table shown in Figs. 32 to 35 is displayed, and in the case of "execution", the scenario pattern selection table shown in Figs. Determine the scenario pattern for the pending icon HA to be made to

7-2-1. Whether or not barrier rendering is to be performed First, with reference to the barrier rendering execution selection table shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B, it is determined whether barrier rendering is to be performed along with the appearance of the display of the hold icon HA.
Specifically, when the hold icon HA is not displayed in any hold icon display area 50d when the first start opening sensor command is received, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays the barrier effect shown in FIG. 31 (A). Referring to the execution selection table, it is determined whether or not barrier rendering is to be performed. In this embodiment, non-execution of barrier rendering is determined in such a case.

  On the other hand, when the hold icon HA is displayed in the hold icon display area 50d when the first start opening sensor command is received, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the barrier effect execution selection table shown in FIG. 31 (B). See and decide if you want to perform barrier rendering. In the present embodiment, whether or not to execute the barrier effect is determined according to the type of scenario pattern of the holding icon HA being displayed and the prefetch determination result (see FIG. 31).

  Specifically, when the pending icon HA already displayed is a scenario pattern other than "S3001", the effect control microcomputer 121 determines non-execution of the barrier effect regardless of the pre-read determination result. On the other hand, if all scenario patterns of the pending icon HA already displayed are “S3001” and the pre-reading determination result is “big hit”, the barrier with “20%” distribution ratio (probability) The "execution" of the effect is determined, and the "non-execution" of the barrier effect is determined with the distribution ratio (probability) of "80%". On the other hand, when all scenario patterns of the pending icon HA already displayed are “S3001” and the pre-reading determination result is “loss”, the barrier effect is generated with “40%” distribution ratio (probability) The “execution” of is determined, and the “non-execution” of the barrier effect is determined with the distribution ratio (probability) of “60%”. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the barrier effect is more easily performed when the pre-reading determination result is “loss” than when “big hit”.

7-2-2. Scenario pattern when barrier effect is "non-execution" Next, a scenario pattern when barrier effect is "non-execution" will be described with reference to Figs. In the present embodiment, the scenario pattern selection table to be referred to differs depending on the pending icon display area 50 d where the pending icon HA appears. The column of “Configuration A” of the effect contents shown in FIGS. 32 to 35 is a column indicating the presence or absence of the execution of the character operation effect, and the column of “Configuration B” is a column indicating the presence or absence of the barrier effect execution The column of “Configuration C” is a column indicating the presence or absence of execution of the icon change effect, and the column of “Configuration D” is a column indicating the display mode of the hold icon.

  First, FIG. 32 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1 without the execution of the barrier effect. There are three types of scenario patterns (S3101, S3102 and S3001) in this scenario pattern selection table.

  In the scenario pattern S3101, the hold icon HA first appears in the first display area 50d1 in "red" and "☆" ("red" mode), and the display mode remains unchanged (the display mode does not change). The icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode by the icon change effect at the time of appearance in the first display area 50d1, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed. Then, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3101, the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the “red” mode.

  On the other hand, the scenario pattern S3102 differs from the scenario pattern S3101 in that the hold icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1 in "blue" and "☆" ("blue" mode). That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “blue” mode by the icon change effect at the time of appearance in the first display area 50d1, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed. Then, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3102, the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the “blue” mode.

  On the other hand, in the scenario pattern S3001, the hold icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1 in the normal mode (“white” and “o”), and the hold icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e in the normal mode. . That is, with the display of the reserved icon HA, no icon change presentation (and character operation presentation) is performed. Then, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 32 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution rate when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 32, when the reserve icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1, the distribution ratio (45%) of the scenario pattern S3101 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is "big hit". However, it is higher than the distribution ratio (35%) of scenario pattern S3102 and the distribution ratio (20%) of scenario pattern S3001. Moreover, between scenario patterns S3102 and S3001, the distribution ratio of scenario pattern S3102 is higher than the distribution ratio of scenario pattern S3001. Therefore, if the result of the pre-reading determination is "big hit" when the reserve icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1, the "red" mode is the most display mode of the reserve icon HA appearing in the first display area 50d1. It is easy to select, then the "blue" aspect is easy to select, and the normal aspect is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1, the distribution ratio (5%) of the scenario pattern S3101 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “lost” is the scenario pattern It is lower than the distribution ratio of S3102 (35%) or the distribution ratio of scenario pattern S3001 (60%). Moreover, between scenario patterns S3102 and S3001, the distribution ratio of scenario pattern S3102 is lower than the distribution ratio of scenario pattern S3001. Therefore, if the result of the pre-reading determination is "loss" when the reserve icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1, the reserve icon HA appearing in the first display area 50d1 is the reverse of the "big hit" case. The normal mode is the most easily selected as the display mode, then the "blue" mode is more likely to be selected, and the "red" mode is the least likely to be selected.

  As described above, when the holding icon HA appears in the first display area 50d1, when the display mode of the holding icon HA is the "blue" mode, the player has selected the special drawing lottery rather than appearing in the normal mode. It is easy to expect that the result of is a big hit. Furthermore, in the case where the display mode of the reserved icon HA is the “red” mode, it is easier to expect that the result of the special drawing lottery is the jackpot rather than appearing in the “blue” mode.

  Subsequently, FIG. 33 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2 without the execution of the barrier effect. There are six types of scenario patterns (S3201 to S3205 and S3001 described above) in this scenario pattern selection table (see FIG. 33).

  In the scenario pattern S3201, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “red” mode in the second display area 50d2, and the hold icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e as it is. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode in the second display area 50d2 by the icon change effect at the time of appearance, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed.

  In the scenario pattern S3202, a reserve icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2 in a normal mode. That is, no icon change effect is performed on the hold icon HA appearing in the second display area 50d2. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the mode changes from the normal mode to the "red" mode. That is, after the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2 in the normal mode, an icon change effect in which the mode changes from the normal mode to the "red" mode while the reserve icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. To be done. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  In scenario pattern S3203, after the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2 in the “blue” mode, the mode changes to the “red” mode while the reserve icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. A presentation is performed. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3204 is different from the above-mentioned scenario pattern S3201 in that the reserve icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “blue” mode in the second display area 50d2. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “blue” mode by the icon change effect at the time of appearance in the second display area 50d2, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed.

  The scenario pattern S3205 is different from the scenario pattern S3202 in that the mode changes from the normal mode to the “blue” mode when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the second display area 50 d 2 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  On the other hand, in the scenario pattern S3001 shown in FIG. 33, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed as in the case of FIG. 32 described above.

  It should be noted that after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S3201 to S3203, execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the “red” mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern of the scenario pattern S3204 or S3205, the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the "blue" mode. On the other hand, after the suspension icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 33 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution rate when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 33, when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, the sum of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3201 to S3203 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “big hit”. Value (45%) is larger than the total value (35%) of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3204 and S3205 or the distribution ratio (20%) of scenario pattern S3001. That is, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the hold icon HA is "big hit", the display mode when the hold icon HA moves to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA is the "red" mode. The distribution ratio value is the largest, and then the distribution ratio value in the “blue” mode is large, and the distribution ratio in the normal mode is the smallest. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the hold icon HA is "big hit", the "red" mode as a display mode when the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA. Is easy to select, then the "blue" mode is easy to select, and the normal mode is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, the value of the total of the distribution ratio of scenario patterns S3201 to S3203 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is "loss" (5 %) Is smaller than the total value (35%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3204 and S3205 and the distribution ratio (60%) of scenario pattern S3001. That is, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the display mode when the holding icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA is a normal mode. The value of distribution ratio is the largest, then the value of distribution ratio in the “blue” mode is large, and the value of distribution ratio in the “red” mode is the smallest. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the holding icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA, contrary to the case of "big hit". As the occasional display mode, the normal mode is easy to select, then the "blue" mode is easy to select, and the "red" mode is the most difficult to select.

  As described above, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA that appears in the second display area 50d2 is finally the "blue" mode, the player is more likely to win the special drawing lottery result than the normal mode. It is easy to expect. Furthermore, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA that appears in the second display area 50d2 is finally the "red" mode, the player is more likely to win the result of the special drawing lottery than the "blue" mode. It is easy to expect to be there.

  Subsequently, FIG. 34 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3 without the execution of the barrier effect. There are ten scenario patterns (S3301 to S3309 and S3001) in this scenario pattern selection table (see FIG. 34).

  In the scenario pattern S3301, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “red” mode in the third display area 50d3, and the hold icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e as it is. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode in the third display area 50d3 by the icon change effect at the time of appearance, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed.

  In scenario pattern S3302, when the icon change effect is not performed on the hold icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3 and the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, "Red" from the normal mode The aspect changes to the aspect. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50 d 3 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3303 is different from the scenario pattern S3302 in that the icon change effect is executed when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50 d 3 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  In the scenario pattern S3304, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the third display area 50d3 in a "blue" mode. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the mode changes from the "blue" mode to the "red" mode. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3 in the “blue” mode, the icon change effect in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2 It will be. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3305 is different from the scenario pattern S3304 in that the icon change effect is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50 d 3 in the “blue” mode, the icon change effect in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1 It will be. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  In the scenario pattern S3306, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the normal mode in the third display area 50d3. Then, the mode changes from the normal mode to the "blue" mode when the reserve icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, and the "blue" mode when the icon is displayed in the first display area 50d1. The aspect changes from “red” to the “red” aspect. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3 in the normal mode, an icon change effect in which the hold icon HA changes to the “blue” mode while being displayed in the second display area 50d2, and the first display area An icon change effect that changes to the “red” mode while being displayed on the screen 50d1 is performed. That is, the content is such that two icon change effects are executed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3307 is different from the above-mentioned scenario pattern S3301 in that the reserve icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “blue” mode in the third display area 50d3. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “blue” mode by the icon change effect at the time of appearance in the third display area 50d3, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed.

  The scenario pattern S3308 differs from the scenario pattern S3302 in that the mode changes from the normal mode to the “blue” mode when the post-emergence reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50 d 3 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “blue” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S3309 is different from the scenario pattern S3308 in that the icon change effect is executed when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50 d 3 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “blue” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  On the other hand, in the scenario pattern S3001 shown in FIG. 34, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed as in the case shown in FIG. 32 and the like described above.

  In addition, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S3301 to S3306, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “red” mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S3307 to S3309, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “blue” mode. On the other hand, after the suspension icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 34 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution rate when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 34, when the reserve icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3, the sum of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3301 to S3306 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “big hit”. Value (45%) is larger than the total value (35%) of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3307 to S3309 and the distribution ratio (20%) of scenario pattern S3001. Therefore, as in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the hold icon HA is "big hit", the hold icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e. As the display mode when the icon TA is displayed, the “red” mode is easy to select, then the “blue” mode is easy to select, and the normal mode is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, the value of the total of the distribution ratio of scenario patterns S3301 to S3306 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is "loss" (5 %) Is smaller than the total value (35%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3307 to S3309 and the distribution ratio (60%) of scenario patterns S3001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the holding icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA, contrary to the case of "big hit". As the occasional display mode, the normal mode is easy to select, then the "blue" mode is easy to select, and the "red" mode is the most difficult to select.

  As described above, in the same manner as when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3 is finally the "blue" mode, the player is It is easier to expect that the result of the special drawing lottery is a jackpot than in the normal mode. Furthermore, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA that appears in the third display area 50d3 is finally the "red" mode, the player is more likely to win the result of the special drawing lottery than the "blue" mode. It is easy to expect to be there.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the scenario pattern S3306 in which the icon change effect is executed twice for the pending icon HA after appearance is such that the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the pending icon HA is “lost”. If not selected. Therefore, it is possible to convince the player that a jackpot will occur when two icon change effects are performed for the hold icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game while expecting that two icon change effects are performed for the hold icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3.

  Subsequently, FIG. 35 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4 without the execution of the barrier effect. The scenario pattern selection table includes 15 types of scenario patterns (S3401 to S3414 and S3001).

  In the scenario pattern S3401, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “red” mode in the fourth display area 50d4, and the hold icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e as it is. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode in the fourth display area 50d4 by the icon change effect at the time of appearance, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed.

  In scenario pattern S3402, the icon change effect is not performed on the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4, and when the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3, "Red" from the normal mode The aspect changes to the aspect. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50 d 3. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3403 is different from the scenario pattern S3402 in that the icon change effect is executed when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3404 is different from the scenario pattern S3402 in that the icon change effect is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  In the scenario pattern S3405, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “blue” mode in the fourth display area 50d4. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the mode changes from the "blue" mode to the "red" mode. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the “blue” mode, the icon change effect in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50 d 3 It will be. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3406 is different from the scenario pattern S3405 in that the icon change effect is executed when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the “blue” mode, the icon change effect in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2 It will be. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3407 is different from the scenario pattern S3405 in that the icon change effect is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the “blue” mode, the icon change effect in which the mode changes to the “red” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1 It will be. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  In the scenario pattern S3408, the hold icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the normal mode in the fourth display area 50d4. Then, the mode changes from the normal mode to the "blue" mode when the reserve icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3, and the "blue" mode when the icon is displayed in the second display area 50d2. The aspect changes from “red” to the “red” aspect. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect in which the hold icon HA changes to the “blue” mode while being displayed in the third display area 50d3, and the second display area An icon change effect that changes to the “red” mode while being displayed on the screen 50d2 is performed. That is, two icon change effects are performed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3409 is different from the scenario pattern S3408 in that the mode changes from the “blue” mode to the “red” mode when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect in which the hold icon HA changes to the “blue” mode while being displayed in the third display area 50d3, and the first display area An icon change effect that changes to the “red” mode while being displayed on the screen 50d1 is performed. That is, as in the scenario pattern S3408, two icon change effects are executed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3410 differs from the scenario pattern S3409 in that the mode changes from the normal mode to the “blue” mode when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect in which the hold icon HA changes to the “blue” mode while being displayed in the second display area 50d2, and the first display area An icon change effect that changes to the “red” mode while being displayed on the screen 50d1 is performed. That is, as in scenario patterns S3408 and S3409, two icon change effects are executed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S3411 is different from the above-mentioned scenario pattern S3401 in that the reserve icon HA at the time of appearance is displayed in the “blue” mode in the fourth display area 50d4. That is, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the “blue” mode by the icon change effect at the time of appearance in the fourth display area 50d4, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed.

  The scenario pattern S3412 is different from the scenario pattern S3402 in that the mode changes from the normal mode to the “blue” mode when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the third display area 50d3. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “blue” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50 d 3. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S3413 differs from the scenario pattern S3412 in that the icon change effect is executed when the post-emergence reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “blue” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S3414 is different from the scenario pattern S3412 in that the icon change effect is executed when the post-emergence reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, after the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50 d 4 in the normal mode, an icon change effect is performed in which the mode changes to the “blue” mode while the hold icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50 d 1. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  On the other hand, in the scenario pattern S3001 shown in FIG. 35, the icon change effect (and the character operation effect) is not performed as in the case shown in FIG.

  In addition, after reserve icon HA is displayed by one scenario pattern of scenario patterns S3401-S3410, execution of special figure change production is started with display of the said icon TA in a "red" mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S3411 to S3414, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “blue” mode. On the other hand, after the suspension icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 35 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution rate when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 35, when the reserve icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4, the sum of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3401 to S3410 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “big hit”. Value (48%) is larger than the total value (33%) of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3411 to S3414 and the distribution ratio (19%) of scenario pattern S3001. Therefore, as in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the hold icon HA is "big hit", the hold icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e. As the display mode when the icon TA is displayed, the “red” mode is easy to select, then the “blue” mode is easy to select, and the normal mode is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, the value of the total of the distribution ratio of scenario patterns S3401 to S3410 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “lost” (7 %) Is smaller than the total value (33%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S3411 to S3414 and the distribution ratio (60%) of scenario patterns S3001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the holding icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA, contrary to the case of "big hit". As the occasional display mode, the normal mode is easy to select, then the "blue" mode is easy to select, and the "red" mode is the most difficult to select.

  As described above, the display mode of the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4 is the same as when the hold icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2 or when the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3. In the case of the “blue” mode, the player is more likely to expect that the result of the special drawing lottery is the jackpot than the normal mode. Furthermore, when the display mode of the hold icon HA that appears in the fourth display area 50d4 is finally the "red" mode, the player is more likely to win the result of the special drawing lottery than the "blue" mode. It is easy to expect to be there.

  Further, in the present embodiment, scenario patterns S3408 to S3410 in which two icon change effects are executed for the reserved icon HA after appearance are the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserved icon HA Not selected in case of Therefore, it is possible to convince the player that a jackpot will occur when two icon change effects are performed for the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game while expecting that two icon change effects are performed for the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4.

7-2-3. Scenario Pattern when Barrier Effect is "Execute" Next, a scenario pattern when the barrier effect is "Execute" will be described using Figs. In addition, as in the above-mentioned FIG. 32 to FIG. 35, the column of “configuration A” of the effect contents shown in FIG. A column showing the presence or absence of the execution of the effect, a column of “Configuration C” is a column showing the presence or absence of the execution of the icon change presentation, and a column of “Configuration D” is a column showing the display mode of the hold icon.

  First, FIG. 36 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2 with the execution of the barrier effect. There are four types of scenario patterns (S4201, S4202, S4203, and S4001) in this scenario pattern selection table (see FIG. 36).

  In the scenario pattern S4201, when the display appearance in the second display area 50d2 appears, the icon display effect is not performed on the contents in which the hold icon HA is displayed in the normal mode, that is, the hold icon HA appearing in the second display area 50d2 (see FIG. See 36). In addition, a barrier image BG accompanying the execution of the barrier effect is displayed above the reserve icon HA that has appeared in the second display area 50d2.

  Furthermore, the character operation effect in the success mode is executed for the hold icon HA being displayed in the first display area 50d1, and the execution of the barrier effect is finished. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 30 (B), 30 (C) and 30 (D), the “special character” in the character image CG1 is “hammer” for the barrier image BG covering the reserve icon HA. Hit at. As a result, the “barrier” of the barrier image BG is broken and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50 a. That is, the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a after the execution of the character animation in the success mode.

  Moreover, in this scenario pattern S4201, the display of the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, and the display mode of the reserve icon HA changes from the normal mode to the "red" mode. That is, while the execution of the barrier effect ends after the execution of the character operation effect in the success mode, an icon change effect that changes to the “red” mode is performed. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4202 is different from the scenario pattern S4201 in that the barrier image BG disappears after execution of the character operation effect, and the mode of the reserve icon HA changes to the “blue” mode. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a after the execution, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4203 differs from the scenario pattern S4201 in that character action presentation in a failure mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, although the character operation effect is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the character operation effect is performed. Furthermore, the barrier image BG being displayed disappears from the display unit 50a at the time of the shift (shift) to the icon display area 50e of the reserve icon HA. That is, the execution of the barrier effect continues until the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e, and the execution of the barrier effect ends at the transition to the icon display area 50e.

  The scenario pattern S4001 is different from the scenario pattern S4201 in that neither the character action presentation nor the icon change presentation is performed for the holding icon HA until the holding icon HA after appearance shifts to the icon display area 50e. Furthermore, as in the scenario pattern S4203, the barrier rendering continues to be performed from the appearance of the hold icon HA in the second display area 50d2 to the transition to the icon display area 50e, and the barrier presentation at the transition to the icon display area 50e Execution of is finished.

  In addition, after the suspension icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S4201, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “red” mode. On the other hand, after the suspension icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S3402, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “blue” mode. On the other hand, after the reserve icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S4203 or S3001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 36 shows the distribution ratio (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution ratio when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 36, when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, the value of the distribution ratio (45 of scenario pattern S4201 in the case where the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “big hit” %) Is larger than the value (35%) of the distribution rate of scenario pattern S4202 or the value (20%) of the total of the distribution rates of scenario patterns S4203 and S4001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "big hit", the "red" mode is displayed as the display mode when the holding icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA. It is easy to select, then the "blue" aspect is easy to select, and the normal aspect is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the second display area 50d2, the value of the distribution ratio (5%) in S4201 is the value (35%) of the distribution ratio in the scenario pattern S4202 or the scenario patterns S4203 and S4001. It is smaller than the value of total distribution ratio (60%). Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the holding icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e and is changed to the icon TA, contrary to the case of "big hit". As a display mode when it becomes, a normal mode is easy to be selected, then a "blue" mode is easy to be selected, and a "red" mode is the most difficult to be selected.

  As described above, when the display mode of the hold icon HA that appears in the second display area 50d2 is finally the "blue" mode, the player is more likely to win the special drawing lottery result than in the normal mode. It is easy to expect. Furthermore, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA appearing in the second display area 50d2 is finally the "red" mode, the player is more likely to win the result of the special drawing lottery than the case of the "blue" mode. It is easy to expect to be there.

  Subsequently, FIG. 37 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3 with the execution of the barrier effect. There are nine types of scenario patterns (S4301 to S4308 and S4001) in this scenario pattern selection table.

  In the scenario pattern S4301, the reserve icon HA in the normal mode accompanied by the barrier image BG appears at the top in the third display area 50d3. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and after that, the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "red" aspect. Furthermore, after execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4302 is different from the scenario pattern S4301 in that the character action presentation in the success mode is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a after the execution, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "red" aspect. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4303 differs from the scenario pattern S4301 in that the barrier image BG disappears after the execution of the character action presentation, and the mode of the reserve icon HA changes to the “blue” mode. Moreover, the scenario is different from the scenario pattern S4301 in that the mode changes to the “red” mode when the reserve icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and after that, the barrier image BG disappears and the display mode of the reserved icon HA is the normal mode Change to the "blue" aspect. Furthermore, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the display mode changes from the "blue" mode to the "red" mode. That is, two icon change effects are performed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4304 is different from the scenario pattern S4301 in that the barrier image BG disappears after the execution of the character action presentation, and the mode of the reserve icon HA changes to the “blue” mode. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50 a after the execution and the display of the reserved icon HA is displayed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4305 differs from the scenario pattern S4304 in that the character action presentation in the success mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a after the execution, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4306 differs from the scenario pattern S4301 in that the character action presentation in the failure mode is executed when the hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. In addition, the character operation effect is performed again when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, which is also different from the scenario pattern S4301. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, although the character operation effect is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the character operation effect is performed. Furthermore, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and after that, the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4307 is different from the scenario pattern S4306 in that the character operation effect is not executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, although the character operation effect in the failure mode is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the character operation effect is performed. Then, the execution of the barrier effect continues until the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e, and the execution of the barrier effect ends at the transition to the icon display area 50e.

  The scenario pattern S4308 differs from the scenario pattern S4307 in that character action presentation in a failure mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, although the character operation effect is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the character operation effect is performed. Then, the execution of the barrier effect continues until the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e, and the execution of the barrier effect ends at the transition to the icon display area 50e.

  On the other hand, in the scenario pattern S4001 shown in FIG. 37, as in the case shown in FIG. 36 described above, neither the character action presentation nor the icon change presentation is performed for the appearing reserved icon HA.

  In addition, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S4301 to S4303, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “red” mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S4304 to S4306, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “blue” mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in the scenario pattern S4307, S4308 or S4001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation effect is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 37 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution rate when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 37, when the reserve icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3, the sum of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4301 to S4303 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “big hit”. The value of (45%) is larger than the total value (34%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4304 to S4306 or the total value (21%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4307, S4308, and S4001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "big hit", the "red" mode is displayed as the display mode when the holding icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA. It is easy to select, then the "blue" aspect is easy to select, and the normal aspect is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the third display area 50d3, the value (5%) of the total of the distribution rates of the scenario patterns S4301 to S4303 is the value of the total of the distribution rates of the scenario patterns S4304 to S4306 ( 35%) or less than the total value (60%) of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4307, S4308 and S4001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the holding icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e and is changed to the icon TA, contrary to the case of "big hit". As a display mode when it becomes, a normal mode is easy to be selected, then a "blue" mode is easy to be selected, and a "red" mode is the most difficult to be selected.

  As described above, when the display mode of the hold icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3 is finally the "blue" mode, the player has a big hit with the result of the special drawing lottery than the case of the normal mode. It is easy to expect. Furthermore, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA that appears in the third display area 50d3 is finally the "red" mode, the player is more likely to win the result of the special drawing lottery than the case of the "blue" mode. It is easy to expect to be there.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the scenario pattern S4303 in which the icon change effect is performed twice for the pending icon HA after appearance is such that the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the pending icon HA is “lost”. If not selected. Therefore, if two icon change effects (including an icon change effect after execution of the character operation effect in the success mode) are performed on the hold icon HA appearing in the third display area 50d3, a big hit will be made. It is possible to convince the player. Therefore, the player executes the character action presentation in the success mode in the second display area 50d2 and the icon change presentation in the first display area 50d1 in the second display area 50d2. It is possible to enjoy the game while also expecting.

  Subsequently, FIG. 38 shows a scenario pattern selection table in the case where the hold icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4 with the execution of the barrier effect. The scenario pattern selection table has 17 types of scenario patterns (S4401 to S4416 and S4001).

  In the scenario pattern S4401, the reserve icon HA in the normal mode accompanied by the barrier image BG appears at the top in the fourth display area 50d4. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and after that, the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "red" aspect. Furthermore, after execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4402 is different from the scenario pattern S4401 in that the character action presentation in the success mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50 a after the execution and the display of the reserved icon HA is displayed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "red" aspect. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4403 is different from the scenario pattern S4401 in that the character action presentation in the success mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a after the execution, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "red" aspect. Then, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  Moreover, in scenario pattern S4404, the barrier image BG disappears after execution of character operation production, and the point of the aspect of pending | holding icon HA changing to a "blue" aspect differs from scenario pattern S4401. Moreover, the scenario is different from the scenario pattern S4401 in that the mode changes to the “red” mode when the reserve icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and after that, the barrier image BG disappears and the display mode of the reserved icon HA is the normal mode Change to the "blue" aspect. Furthermore, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the display mode changes from the "blue" mode to the "red" mode. That is, two icon change effects are performed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

That is, as in scenario patterns S4404 and S4405, two icon change effects are performed. Then, after execution of the second icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “red” mode.

  In the scenario pattern S4407, after the reserve icon HA in the normal mode with the barrier image BG appears in the upper part in the fourth display area 50d4, then in the failure mode when the reserve icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Character operation effects are executed. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the character operation effect in the success mode is executed, and after the execution of the barrier effect is finished, the normal mode is changed to the "blue" mode. A changing icon change presentation is performed. Furthermore, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, an icon change effect is performed in which the display mode changes from the "blue" mode to the "red" mode. That is, while the hold icon HA is displayed in the hold icon display area 50d, two character action effects and two icon change effects are performed. Then, the hold icon HA after the second icon change presentation is displayed in the “red” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4408 is different from the scenario pattern S4401 in that the barrier image BG disappears after the execution of the character action presentation, and the mode of the reserve icon HA changes to the “blue” mode. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the character operation effect in the success mode is executed, and after that, the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4409 is different from the scenario pattern S4408 in that character action presentation in a success mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50 d 2, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50 a after the execution and the display of the reserved icon HA is displayed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4410 differs from the scenario pattern S4408 in that the character action presentation in the success mode is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character action presentation in the success mode is executed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a after the execution, and the display of the reserved icon HA is performed. The aspect changes from the normal aspect to the "blue" aspect. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4411 is different from the scenario pattern S4407 in that the icon change effect is not executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the character operation effect in the failure mode is executed. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the character operation effect in the success mode is executed, and after the execution of the barrier effect is finished, the normal mode is changed to the "blue" mode. A changing icon change presentation is performed. And after execution of the icon change production, reservation icon HA is displayed in a "blue" mode.

  The scenario pattern S4412 is different from the scenario pattern S4411 in that the character action presentation in the success mode is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the third display area 50d3, the character operation effect in the failure mode is executed. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character operation effect in the success mode is executed, and after the execution of the barrier effect is finished, the normal mode is changed to the "blue" mode. A changing icon change presentation is performed. Furthermore, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “blue” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4413 is different from the scenario pattern S4412 in that the character action presentation in the failure mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2, the character operation effect in the failure mode is executed. Then, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the character operation effect in the success mode is executed, and after the execution of the barrier effect is finished, the normal mode is changed to the "blue" mode. A changing icon change presentation is performed. Furthermore, after the execution of the icon change presentation, the hold icon HA is displayed in the “blue” mode.

  The scenario pattern S4414 is different from the scenario pattern S4401 in that the character action presentation in the failure mode is executed when the hold icon HA after appearance is displayed in the third display area 50d3. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3, although the character operation effect in the failure mode is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the character operation effect is performed. Then, the execution of the barrier effect continues until the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e, and the execution of the barrier effect ends at the transition to the icon display area 50e.

  The scenario pattern S4415 is different from the scenario pattern S4414 in that character action presentation in a failure mode is executed when the holding icon HA after appearance is displayed in the second display area 50d2. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2, although the character operation effect in the failure mode is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the character operation effect is performed. Then, the execution of the barrier effect continues until the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e, and the execution of the barrier effect ends at the transition to the icon display area 50e.

  The scenario pattern S4416 differs from the scenario pattern S4414 in that the character action presentation in the failure mode is executed when the reserved icon HA after appearance is displayed in the first display area 50d1. That is, when the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, although the character operation effect in the failure mode is performed, the icon change effect is not performed after the execution of the character operation effect. Then, the execution of the barrier effect continues until the hold icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e, and the execution of the barrier effect ends at the transition to the icon display area 50e.

  On the other hand, in the scenario pattern S4001 shown in FIG. 38, the character action presentation and the icon change presentation are not performed for the appearing reserved icon HA as in the case shown in FIG. 36 and the like described above.

  In addition, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S4401 to S4407, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “red” mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S4408 to S4413, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the “blue” mode. On the other hand, after the hold icon HA is displayed in one of the scenario patterns S4414 to S4416 and S4001, the execution of the special figure fluctuation presentation is started with the display of the icon TA in the normal mode.

  FIG. 38 shows the distribution rate (execution probability) when the result of the pre-reading determination is “big hit” and the distribution rate when the result of the pre-reading determination is “loss” for the scenario pattern.

  According to FIG. 38, when the reserve icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4, the sum of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4401 to S4407 when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserve icon HA is “big hit” Value (44%) is larger than the total value (36%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4408 to S4413 or the total value (20%) of distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4414 to S4416 and S4001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "big hit", the "red" mode is displayed as the display mode when the holding icon HA shifts to the icon display area 50e and becomes the icon TA. It is easy to select, then the "blue" aspect is easy to select, and the normal aspect is the most difficult to select.

  On the other hand, when the reserve icon HA appears in the fourth display area 50d4, the value (6%) of the total of the distribution rates of the scenario patterns S4401 to S4407 is the value of the total of the distribution rates of the scenario patterns S4408 to S4413 ( 35%) or less than the total value (59%) of the distribution ratios of scenario patterns S4414 to S4416 and S4001. Therefore, when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the holding icon HA is "loss", the holding icon HA is shifted to the icon display area 50e and is changed to the icon TA, contrary to the case of "big hit". As a display mode when it becomes, a normal mode is easy to be selected, then a "blue" mode is easy to be selected, and a "red" mode is the most difficult to be selected.

  As described above, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4 is finally the "blue" mode, the player has a big hit in the result of the special drawing lottery than the case of the normal mode. It is easy to expect. Furthermore, when the display mode of the reserve icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4 is finally the "red" mode, the player is more likely to win the result of the special drawing lottery than the case of the "blue" mode. It is easy to expect to be there.

  Further, in the present embodiment, scenario patterns S4404 to S4407 in which two icon change effects are executed for the reserved icon HA after appearance are the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the reserved icon HA Not selected in case of Therefore, regardless of the presence or absence of the character operation effect in the success mode, the player can be a big hit when two icon change effects are performed for the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4. It is possible to be convinced. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game while expecting that two icon change effects are performed for the hold icon HA appearing in the fourth display area 50d4.

8. Effects of the First Embodiment As described above in detail, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment sometimes displays the hold icon HA in the hold icon display area 50d of the display unit 50a. Further, as shown in FIG. 29B, there is a case where a barrier image BG is displayed near the display of the holding icon HA together with the display of such a holding icon HA. Furthermore, it is possible to execute a character operation effect that suggests that the barrier image BG being displayed may disappear from the display unit 50a. Then, in the case of the scenario pattern S4301 shown in FIG. 37, for example, when the scenario pattern for the display of the pending icon HA being executed is when the pending icon HA with the barrier image BG is displayed in the second display area 50d2 The character operation effect is performed, and the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a at the timing after the character operation effect is performed, and the hold icon HA changes from the normal mode to the “red” mode (FIG. 30C and FIG. 30 (D)). On the other hand, if the scenario pattern of the pending icon HA being executed is, for example, the scenario pattern S4307 shown in FIG. 37, the character action occurs when the pending icon HA with the barrier image BG is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Although the effect is performed, the barrier image BG does not disappear from the display unit 50a at the timing after the execution of the character operation effect, and the mode of the reserve icon HA remains unchanged as the normal mode (FIG. 30C and FIG. 30 (A)).

  In this pachinko gaming machine PY1, the barrier image BG is displayed together with the hold icon HA, so the player is likely to notice the barrier image BG. Then, it is possible for the player who notices the barrier image BG to be aware that the barrier image BG may disappear at the timing after the execution of the character operation effect and the aspect of the hold icon HA may change. . Furthermore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the barrier image BG disappears after the execution of the character operation effect.

  In addition, since the specific timing at which the barrier image BG disappears or does not disappear from the display unit 50a is the timing after the execution of the character operation effect, the player who noticed the barrier image BG is expected to perform the character operation effect Furthermore, when execution of the character operation effect starts, it is possible to make the player expect that the barrier image BG disappears and the mode of the hold icon HA changes. And since it is such a specific timing, the player is anxious about the end of the execution of the character operation effect, and as a result, it is easy to pay attention to the character operation effect.

  Further, in the case where the scenario pattern for display of the pending icon HA being executed is, for example, the scenario pattern S4306 shown in FIG. 37, the first character action presentation fails while the second display area 50d2 of the pending icon HA is displayed. In the mode, the barrier image BG does not disappear from the display unit 50a, and after transition (that is, during display of the first display area 50d1 of the hold icon HA), the second character operation effect presentation is performed in the success mode.

  Therefore, even if the barrier image BG does not disappear from the display unit 50a as a result of the execution of the character operation effect in the failure mode, it is possible to make the player expect the character operation effect to be performed again. .

  Further, since the first display is the display of the hold icon HA, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the display of the hold icon HA in the vicinity along with the execution of the barrier image BG.

  Also, as described above, the “red” mode of the reserve icon HA indicates that the possibility of a big hit game being played is higher than that of the normal mode (see FIGS. 32 to 38). Then, in the case of the scenario pattern S4301 shown in FIG. 37, for example, when the scenario pattern for the display of the pending icon HA being executed is when the pending icon HA with the barrier image BG is displayed in the second display area 50d2 The character operation effect is performed, the display of the barrier image BG disappears from the display unit 50a at the timing after the character operation effect is executed, and the hold icon HA changes from the normal mode to the "red" mode (FIG. 30C) And FIG. 30 (D)).

  Therefore, the barrier image BG in the vicinity of the holding icon HA displayed in the normal mode disappears after the execution of the character operation effect, and the player is expected to change the holding icon HA from the normal mode to the “red” mode. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the barrier image BG disappears after execution of the character operation effect.

  Further, when the barrier image BG is displayed, the probability that the barrier image BG is performed is different according to the result of the pre-reading determination. That is, according to the barrier effect execution selection table shown in FIG. 31, the execution probability of barrier effect when the scenario patterns of the pending icons HA already displayed are all S3001 is that the pre-read determination result is "big hit" In contrast to "20%", if the pre-read determination result is "loss", it is "40%".

  Therefore, whether the barrier image BG is displayed on the display of the hold icon HA or not, whether or not the player is likely to become a big hit game in advance from the display of the hold icon HA on which the barrier image BG is displayed (specifically In fact, it is possible to guess) before the special figure fluctuation corresponding to the reserved icon HA.

9. Modified Example Next, a modified example of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment will be described. In the description of the modification, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Of course, the configurations according to the modification may be combined appropriately. Moreover, the technical features in the first embodiment and the following modified example can be appropriately deleted if they are not described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, the display of the hold icon HA is the first display. However, instead of the display of the hold icon, the display of the icon TA may be the first display. Specifically, when the icon TA is being displayed, the display (second display) of the barrier image BG may be displayed on the display unit 50a (predetermined display unit). Further, in the case of this configuration, the character operation effect may be performed when the icon TA is displayed in the icon display area 50e. Furthermore, the second display may or may not disappear at the timing (specific timing) after the character operation effect is performed. Furthermore, when the second display disappears at the specific timing, the display mode of the icon TA may be changed.

  Alternatively, the display of the icon TA may be the first display as well as the display of the hold icon HA.

  In the first embodiment, the display unit 50a which is a 3D liquid crystal display is a predetermined display unit. However, a predetermined display unit may be, for example, a 2D liquid crystal display, a dot display, or a 7-segment display.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the display of the barrier image BG which imitated "barrier" was made into the 2nd display. However, for example, “shields”, “plates (plates, plates, etc.)”, “umbrellas”, “helmets”, “hats”, “covers”, “roofs (triangular roof, dome-shaped roof, transparent)” or An image imitating something other than "barrier", such as "soap bubble" may be used as the second display.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the second display form is configured to cover a part of the display (first display) of the hold icon HA. However, the second display form may be configured to cover the entire first display. Further, the configuration in which the second display is performed in the vicinity of the first display is configured such that the display of the reserve icon HA (first display) and the display of the barrier image BG (second display) overlap on the display unit 50a. However, the first display and the second display may be separated.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the timing after execution of character operation production | presentation (indication production | presentation) was made into the specific timing. However, the timing during execution of the suggestive effect may be a specific timing. That is, the second display may disappear before the end of the suggested effect. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the suggested effect from the start of the execution of the suggested effect until it is determined whether the second display disappears or does not disappear.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the display (second display) of the barrier image BG is performed, the character operation effect (indication effect) can be performed. However, when the second display is displayed, the suggested effect may be performed. That is, a configuration without the above-described scenario pattern S4001 may be used. According to this configuration, when the second display is displayed together with the first display, the player can look forward to the execution of the suggestion effect.

  Alternatively, a configuration in which the suggestion effect is not performed may be used. In such a configuration, it is possible to give a surprise to the player, since the second display will suddenly disappear from the predetermined display.

  In the first embodiment, the display color and shape of the hold icon HA are the first display aspect. However, the color or shape of the first display may be the aspect of the first display. In the case where the color is included in the aspect, for example, the color may be changed to a color other than blue or red, or a color including a rainbow or the like. In addition, when the shape is included in the aspect, for example, it may be configured to change to a specific figure other than a star shape, a character, an object, or a shape having (imitation) a motif thereof.

  In the first embodiment, the display (second display) of the barrier image BG is displayed together with the appearance of the display (first display) of the hold icon HA. However, the second display may be performed during the execution of the first display that has already appeared.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the character operation effect using the character image CG1 shown in FIG. However, for example, a character action representation using a character image in which the special character breaks the barrier of the barrier image BG forming the second display using a tool other than a hammer (sword, wood sword, whistle, pistol, bazooka gun, etc.) It may be a suggestion effect. For example, instead of the special character, a tank, a battleship, a fighter, or a robot may attack to create an effect using an image that breaks the barrier.

  In the first embodiment, when the character action effect (indication effect) is performed and the display (second display) of the barrier image BG does not disappear, the suggestion effect can be performed again. However, in the case where the second effect does not disappear after the suggestion effect is performed, the suggestion effect may not be performed again. That is, the above-mentioned scenario patterns S4306, S4407 and S4411 to S4413 may not be provided.

  In the first embodiment, when the display (second display) of the barrier image BG is performed, the probability that the second display is performed when the result of the pre-reading determination (second determination) is “big hit” is The probability of when the result of the second determination is "loss" is "40%". However, these probabilities need only be different. For example, the probability of performing the second display when the result of the second determination is "big hit" may be higher than the probability of performing the second display when the result of the second determination is "loss" .

  Further, in the first embodiment, only when the display (second display) of the barrier image BG is performed, the character action presentation can be performed. However, the character action presentation may be performed even during the display (first display) of the hold icon HA in which the second display is not performed. Specifically, during execution of the first display in which the second display is not performed, the character action presentation may be performed as an indication suggesting the execution of the icon change presentation.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39 (B), a character image CG2 with contents in which a special character with a hammer appears behind the holding icon HA without displaying the barrier image BG is displayed on the display unit 50a. . Then, as shown in FIG. 39C, a character image CG2 in which the special character directly taps the upper part of the hold icon HA with a hammer is displayed. Then, when the reserved icon HA is hit with a hammer, the display mode always changes as shown in FIG. 39 (D). That is, when the character operation effect is performed on the hold icon HA in which the barrier effect is not performed, the display mode necessarily changes.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 30C, if the barrier image BG of the reserve icon HA accompanied by the display of the barrier image BG is hit with a hammer, if the “barrier” of the barrier image BG is broken down, Further, the hold icon HA is also directly hit, and the display mode of the hold icon HA changes as shown in FIG. 30 (D). On the other hand, if the “barrier” of the barrier image BG is not smashed, the holding icon HA is not directly hit by the hammer, so the display mode of the holding icon HA does not change as shown in FIG. 30 (A).

  As described above, according to such a configuration, it is possible for the player to recognize that the display of the barrier image BG interferes with the action of the special character by the execution of the character operation effect hitting the hold icon HA. Therefore, the player can grasp that it is easier for the icon change effect to be executed when the barrier image BG is not displayed than when the barrier image BG is displayed. Therefore, it is easy to expect execution of icon change presentation about reservation icon HA which does not accompany display of barrier image BG during change display of a special figure.

  In such a configuration, the scenario pattern selection table shown in FIG. 33 is shown in FIG. 40, the scenario pattern selection table shown in FIG. 34 is shown in FIG. 41, and the scenario pattern selection table shown in FIG. It is preferable to change the scenario pattern selection table shown in FIG. 37 to that shown in FIG. 43 and the scenario pattern selection table shown in FIG. 38 to those shown in FIG.

  In the first embodiment, the display of the hold icon HA from the appearance in the hold icon display area 50d to the transition to the icon display area 50e, and various effects related to the hold icon HA (icon change effect, The configuration is such that a scenario is used to manage the presence / absence of execution of the barrier effect and the character operation effect, and the display mode of the reserved icon HA, that is, a configuration using a plurality of scenario patterns described above. However, it may be configured not to use a scenario pattern. Specifically, for example, the presence or absence of the execution of the icon change presentation, the presence or absence of the execution of the barrier presentation, the presence or absence of the execution of the character action presentation, and the display mode of the hold icon HA may be independently determined.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the scenario pattern in which the icon change effect is performed twice for the reserved icon HA after appearance is “lost” as the result of the prefetching determination corresponding to the reserved icon HA. It was not selected in the case of. However, the configuration may be such that it can be selected even when the result of the pre-reading determination is “lost”. In addition, the configuration may not be selected when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the hold icon HA is “losing”, other than the scenario pattern in which the icon change effect is performed twice. Specifically, for example, a scenario pattern (“S3401” in the first embodiment described above) in which the hold icon HA appears in the “red” mode (a mode that suggests that the possibility of a big hit is high) in the fourth display area 50d4 is The configuration may not be selected when the result of the pre-reading determination corresponding to the hold icon HA is “lost”.

  Further, in the first embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine PY1 referred to as so-called "first type" and "digipachi" is shown as a gaming machine. However, it is a so-called "type 3", a so-called "right thing" pachinko game machine, a so-called "type 1" pachinko gaming machine that combines the characteristics of the "class 2" pachinko gaming machine It may be a pachinko gaming machine called "one kind two kind mixing". In addition, it may be a pachinko gaming machine called a "ST machine" in which the probability of winning is controlled to a high probability state during a period of ST (special time).
